The Dragon and Tiger King did not take it seriously: "What kind of mountain people don't have eyesight? It must be those Chinese dogs who want to secretly go up the mountain to hunt in spite of the ban. Go and kill them all, as a warning to others..."
The captain agreed and was leading dozens of soldiers to march forward to teach the ignorant mountain people a lesson. He only heard the rapid sound of horse hooves and raised the dust of the boss.
"No, it's bandits robbing..."
"Why are there bandits around here?"
"Get ready now."
Although the Dragon and Tiger King was surprised, he was not panicked. This team had been battle-hardened for a long time. How many bandits could come? Besides, this swamp is not suitable for horse formation at all, and the Jin army has a secret way to retreat, so they have nothing to fear.
"It's coming, it's really coming..."
"Look, it's coming from this side of the swamp..."
The Dragon and Tiger King laughed loudly. If he had come in any other direction, he would still be afraid, but rushing to the other side of the swamp would undoubtedly lead to death. I don’t know where the bandits came from. There is a way to heaven but there is no way, but there is no door to hell, but they have to force their way in. Come. "Get ready to fight and wipe out all these bandits."
The Jin army was just waiting for work when they saw the "bandits" rushing directly into the swamp.
"Haha, idiot, idiot who will die automatically..."
The Dragon and Tiger King laughed loudly, but soon his smile froze on his face, because he could see clearly from a high position that the team actually brought sacks of rubble, sand, and dead leaves of thatch. As soon as the horse rushed, the thatch The mud and sand poured into the swamp, and a road seemed to be paved on the white ground. The front was slightly blocked, but the back was smooth. The Jin army didn't even have time to react. The team had already rushed over.
The Dragon and Tiger King soon discovered that they were not ordinary bandits, because this army had at least two thousand people and was a battle-tested elite battle formation. The two armies were entangled together, and the Jin army was caught off guard. The formation seemed to be specially designed to deal with this swampy land. The two sides engaged in a melee. When they were in a stalemate, King Longhu saw that a middle-sized man on the other side looked like a leader. He bent his bow and shot an arrow, hitting the center. The general's left eye.
This person was none other than Liu Wu. When the Jin army saw that their leader had shot and wounded the opponent's leader with his superb archery skills, they all cheered: "Where did you come from, the thief? Come quickly and die..."
Liu Wu stretched out his hand, pulled out the arrow in his left eye and threw it on the ground. He leaned over, grabbed a handful of sand and covered his eyes. He didn't care about the blood and flesh, and rushed towards him to kill him.
Seeing how brave he was, the Jin army was shocked and hurriedly dodged. The team behind them took advantage of the situation and attacked, and the battle situation immediately turned around. At this moment, a group of elites suddenly rushed out from the mountainside of Shanxian Village, all wearing rattan armor and holding bows and arrows. , condescendingly, the Jin army could no longer resist this barrage of fire, and suffered seventy-eight out of ten casualties.
The Dragon and Tiger King was about to give the order to change the formation. Behind him, a big man riding a big flowered horse rushed towards him with a deer-cutting knife. He was invincible and everyone in his way fell to the ground. Everyone hurriedly dodged, but he was unimpeded all the way. Come to the Dragon and Tiger King.
Dozens of soldiers could not stop him and fled, throwing away their helmets and armor along the way.
"Kill, kill this person quickly..."
The Dragon and Tiger King also judged that this person was the leader of the other party. Before he could finish his words, he felt his eyes blurred as a sharp arrow was shot. He ducked sideways, but the other two arrows came in succession, and he could no longer dodge. However, he was hit by two arrows in his left shoulder, which made him dizzy for a while. However, the opponent's knife was safely on his waist for some time, and he had a bow and arrow in his hand.
He was furious: "Quickly stop them..."
However, the Jin army suffered heavy casualties and could no longer resist. The mules and horses that were originally escorting the team had suffered all their casualties, and the mules and horses were so frightened that they ran wildly.
King Longhu knew the importance of this mission. Although he killed two deserters in succession, he could not stop the rout. His life was at stake. When he looked again, he was almost the only commander and two guards left. They pinched him one by one and shouted: "Dragon and Tiger King, if you don't run away, it will be too late..."
When he was about to struggle again, there was a whistling wind behind him, and a bright sword with murderous intent. After a few openings, he could feel the call of death. He no longer dared to face this killer star head-on. A guard was on his horse. He was whipped hard and the horse ran away in pain.
As soon as the Dragon and Tiger King escaped, the Jin army dispersed like birds and beasts, and those who were slower became dead souls under the sword. The junction of Shanxian Village and the swamp was littered with corpses.
The frightened mules and horses had already been conquered and controlled by expert horse trainers. The savages had been fighting for many years, but had never achieved such a huge victory. They raised their weapons and cheered loudly.
King Qin did not dare to stop for a while. He only took a satisfied look at the fighting situation around him and said loudly: "The army of the Fourth Prince is coming soon. Come back quickly."
Although there was the ecstasy of victory, the whole team was not in a mess. The trophies were packed and they left immediately without any trouble.
After running for fifty miles, everyone took a breath and continued moving forward. King Qin and Liu Wu walked side by side. The wound on his eye had been simply treated, and the blood stains penetrated the white cloth outside. King Qin was also surprised when he saw his bravery and shouted loudly Said: "Liu Wu, I have convinced you this time."
Although Liu Wu was injured, he was very happy: "Thanks to the king's clever calculation, we got such a large amount of supplies. Hahaha, the fourth prince will definitely be angry to death."
"I'm just afraid that this living bastard will be angry to death. He will definitely come after me."
"This amount of silver is enough for our military expenses for a year."
"Hahaha, this is a tribute from the Song Dynasty. I will take it as long as I take it. Zhao Deji is a filial piety to the Jin people. Damn it, they are all good stuff."
"This is God's will. Maybe Taizu's official family is protecting us from heaven..."
King Qin paid no attention to the soul of Song Taizu and glared: "Song Taizu has produced some incompetent descendants. If he can protect them, Song Qinzong and his son will not be captured, and the Song Dynasty will not fall."
"Then, Your Majesty, who do you think protects us?"
"Of course it's Yue Pengju!"
Liu Wu was startled and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, maybe it's Mr. Yue."
Listening to the discussion between the two, the savages were all very happy. It was the first time in their lives that they saw so many silver coins, and they all smiled with joy.
On the other side, King Longhu encountered the army of the Fourth Prince.
This batch of tributes was no small matter, but Jin Wushu never expected that anything unexpected would happen. The reason why he led his army here was to rush it in advance, because He Ci could not wait any longer and needed to select some things from them to quickly decorate the palace. There is another secret here. Because of He Ci's selfishness, Jin Wushu ordered Qin Hui, so in addition to the usual silver and silk, this batch of tributes also had several boxes of calligraphy and painting curios, gold jade python belts, etc. sent by Qin Hui. , are specially used to decorate the imperial palace.
He was waiting at the inn, drinking wine out of boredom, when he saw a spy reporting: "No, the fourth prince, King Longhu encountered bandits..."
"What bandit?"
"A mysterious bandit robbed us..."
Jin Wushu was furious. All armed forces within a hundred miles of Shanxian Village had been eliminated. Where did the bandits come from? Moreover, what kind of bandits can rob an army of ten thousand people
He was about to get angry when he saw a war horse joltingly approaching. The man on the horse had two arrows stuck in his body. It was the Dragon and Tiger King. He was in a miserable state and covered with bloodstains. As soon as he got off the horse, he knelt on the ground and howled loudly. Crying: "Fourth Prince, the defeated general encountered a mysterious army..."
Jin Wushu said sharply: "Are they bandits or the army?"
"It's the army..."
"What force is it?"
"I don't know. They are all regular soldiers wearing military uniforms."
"What military uniform are you wearing?"
The Dragon and Tiger King could no longer answer. He couldn't tell what kind of military uniform this was. It wasn't the Song Army, the Jin Army, or the Liao Army. It wasn't an armored unicorn. It was all rattan armor, and the hat was also a strange weave of mountain rattan. But It is very tough, and once the sword is inserted, it is difficult to pull it out. But it is well-trained and has a neat lineup. It is definitely a regular army.
"Where's that batch of tribute silver?"
The Dragon and Tiger King cried sadly: "They were all intercepted."
Jin Wushu was so angry that he almost sat down. It would have been better if this batch of silver was lost by Tian Shizhong, then he could ask the Song Dynasty to replace it. However, now that it was lost in the hands of the Jin army, not only could he not rely on Song If the news spreads out in the country and everyone knows that the elite elites of the country cannot even protect their tribute and silver, wouldn’t it mean that their prestige will be greatly reduced
He struck the Dragon and Tiger King with a whip and said angrily: "Hurry up and chase him immediately. If you can't catch him back, you will be dealt with by military law."
The Dragon and Tiger King fell to the ground and groaned. Jin Wushu didn't care about him, kicked him away, jumped on the Wuzui horse, and shouted: "Hurry up, we have to find these people even if we go to heaven or earth. Remember, destroy them all and leave no one behind."
With horses like the wind, Dajin's 30,000 Jin army chased in the direction of Shanxian Village. When they arrived in the swamp, the Jin army was frightened by the corpses scattered all over the place. Of the 10,000 people of the Dragon and Tiger King, almost seven or eight thousand died, and the corpses began to emit sounds. The stench made Jin Wushu so angry that he almost vomited blood. He didn't care to stop and led his army to chase forward.
After passing Shanxian Village, fifty miles ahead was a fork in the road, with three large and small roads leading to different places. The spies carefully identified the traces of mules and horses, but when they got here, there were traces of mules and horses on all three roads. He didn't know where to chase. Jin Wushu jumped off his horse in person, but saw that the traces of the three roads were very messy. Could it be that the thieves were divided into three groups? He knew it was a deception, but he couldn't decide which way to go.
At this time, a spy suddenly ran over, holding a pair of white raw silk in his hand. The silk was torn off, square and square, with a few lines of large characters written on it in black charcoal. It was tied to a big tree on the roadside. On the tree.
Jin Wushu took it and took a look and saw a few words written on it:
King Qin’s words to Mr. Jin
All gold and silver collected
Do not leave one piece on the scale
How much do you know
At this time, Jin Wushu was really confused. It was the King of Qin again. He actually led his army to rob the tribute silver and left a "poetry" to ridicule him, laughing at himself for not leaving a steelyard for him to weigh. After all, How much gold and silver was robbed
A captain of ten thousand men came up and said hurriedly: "It was the Song people who robbed the tribute silver? Can't we negotiate with the Song Dynasty..."
"Idiot, it was the King of Qin who snatched it, not the people of Song Dynasty."
"Isn't the King of Qin from Song Dynasty?"
The King of Qin is from the Song Dynasty and cannot be attributed to the Song Dynasty. He is a pirate and has led a group of barbarians on a rampage in the Liao Kingdom. How can the Song Kingdom bear the responsibility for him
Wu Qimai asked: "Fourth Prince, where should we pursue?"
"It's not two ways, chase left and right."
