"Robbery?" Jiang Jiao stammered, "What, what robbery?"
"We've already arrived here first, the time is right and the place is right for the people. Wouldn't it be disappointing if we didn't robbery?" She called Wang Ba: "Brother Wang, this time you're doing your job, do you still remember the rules?"
Wang Ba was a little annoyed and a little self-satisfied, and only said: "Of course I know!"
"Then go step on the plate first."
"What do you mean by stepping on the plate?" Jiang Jiao was confused.
"I know this," Huang Xiong explained for him: "Green forest black words, explore the wind and the surrounding area in advance."
Wang Ba snorted and said to He Yan, "You still know the jargon."
"I know this sentence." He Yan said: "If you have no objection, how about it being arranged by me?"
Everyone looked at her.
"The terrain here is high, we came early, and when we wanted to wait for the other groups to come here, we must be tired and lethargic. We just need to ambush here and snatch their flags. There are five of us, and one of us needs to go up. The tree surveyed the situation, and the others were ambushing around. This person is me," He Yan pointed to himself, "I am on the tree."
"When the people came, Brother Wang was in the front and brought their people into our circle. Brother Jiang Jiao and Shitou, one of you held a long stick and the other held a long spear, and distributed them to the left and right. Uncle Huang was in the back of the line, so that they could be drawn. Surrounded by them. At this time I will come down from the tree again, and my nine-section whip can take the opportunity to sweep their flag away."
Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder He Yan wanted to choose the nine-section whip. The fight was really chaotic, and there might not be a chance to get close, but as long as the whip was rolled from a distance, the flag could be rolled over.
"Why should I be the bait?" Wang Ba was dissatisfied: "I can hold the line."
"Because you are the most powerful," He Yan smirked without changing his face, "If the rest of us were to bring people over with banners, others would doubt it, but you are different. You are already powerful among the recruits. As long as the flag is reasonable and you hold it, it's better."
Jiang Jiao wanted to laugh a little, but finally held back. Shitou and Huang Xiong lowered their heads silently, only Wang Ba agreed, and the dissatisfaction with He Yan's arrangement immediately disappeared.
"But can this arrangement really work?" Jiang Jiao was a little skeptical, "What if they are better than us?"
"Don't worry, we've already arrived here first, and we've had a longer rest period than them, and we're full of energy. Besides, they'll just flank on the left and right, with both offense and defense. Besides, our goal is not to fight them, but to fight for the flag."
"The Book of War says: Those who are on the battlefield first and wait for the enemy will be lost, and those who are on the battlefield afterward and go to war will work hard. Therefore, those who are good at fighting will cause people but not people."
Among the first five people here, only Jiang Jiao and He Yan have studied. The others didn't respond yet, but Jiang Jiao looked at He Yan and asked with a complicated expression, "Have you read the military book?"
"Slightly understand." He Yan replied.
Huang Xiong looked at Jiang Jiao, then looked at He Yan, and sighed, "I remember you said that you had read "Arms Records", and now you say that you have read military books, you are so capable, you will be famous one day. Wanli is not with us."
"Don't dare." He Yan smiled.
"Anyway, don't forget that we are rich." Wang Ba whispered, probably feeling ashamed, and added: "But you don't look like you can be rich."
He Yan shrugged and said, "Then let's all find a place to hide now, I'll go up the tree first, you guys have some food and have a rest, Brother Jiang will give the flag to Brother Wang, and listen to my whistle later. Sound. I take the partridge whistle as my letter, and as soon as the whistle arrives, the king will bring a banner to lead people over."
Everyone had no objection, they all spread out, and each found a place to hide. He Yan found a tall camphor tree and climbed up.
Her tree-climbing movements were flexible, Wang Ba saw this and whispered, "It's like a four-legged snake."
He Yan climbed to the top of the tree in one breath, found the most leafy place and sat down. At this moment, the wind was blowing, and it was cool and refreshing, but it was indescribably comfortable. This position is high, and she can see the surrounding area at a glance. Seeing that no other recruits have come up for the time being, she took out a small piece of dry biscuit from her bosom, took two bites, and drank some water.
After eating this small piece of cake, and lying down against the branch for a few minutes, I saw a rustling movement from the nearby path a little down. A group of recruits came up.
He Yan immediately sat up straight, hid in the leaves and didn't move, he made a partridge whistle softly from his mouth and blew three times in a row. Her whistle was the same as that of a partridge, and Jiang Jiao and his party would not have been able to tell it apart if she hadn't said hello in advance.
Huang Xiong, who was hiding in the dark, gave Wang Ba a wink. Wang Ba hung up the kettle, stood up with the flag in his hand, and walked out.
I don't know if it was because he was used to doing this kind of robbery for a living, and when he pretended to be, he couldn't see the slightest clue. Wang Ba looked left and right every two steps, as if a person who had just arrived here was exploring his way.
As he was walking, he collided with the group of recruits who had come up the mountain.
"You..." Before the recruit could speak, Wang Ba clutched his waist and ran back. It's okay if he doesn't cover it, but when he covers it, he will teach people to see the red flag on his waist.
The recruit was stunned for a moment, then became excited, and said to the people behind him: "He is alone, he has a red flag, brothers, grab it!"
When the group of people heard the words, they immediately chased after him. Wang Ba seemed to be alone. He didn't want to fight.
This group of people regarded the red flag in Wang Ba's hand as a possession, and they laughed and chased after him, saying, "Then you can chop it up! Brother, pay the flag and don't kill it!"
"I'll pay your grandma! You're welcome to chase after me!" Wang Ba warned.
"Who is being rude to whom?" The group of people were laughing and chasing after him. When they reached a dense forest, Wang Ba suddenly stopped.
"What, can't run?" The leader of the recruit smiled, imitating the appearance of a bandit leader, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I have to pass from here, and leave it to buy road money!"
Wang Ba originally wanted to show off his prestige, but when he heard the words, he laughed angrily. He pulled out the two giant axes around his waist, turned around and shouted: "The pheasant is so boring, how can it go up to Tianwang Mountain. If you grab your grandfather on my head, I will see you. It's the lard that's blinded, the trick is not faint!"
No one could understand his series of mountain bandits Chinese. The other party didn't want to entangle with him here, so he raised his sword and stabbed it straight at the flag on his waist.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise behind him, and two young men suddenly appeared in the grass on the left and right sides, one with a spear and the other with an iron rod. It was Jiang Jiao and Shishi. Hearing a loud noise again, the bald-headed strong man with the golden-backed sword jumped in front of him.
It was only five-on-one just now, and Wang Ba was chased by the crap, but now the situation has turned sharply, like catching a turtle in a urn. There were ambushes in all directions, but there were only four people, but they made a grand scene of ambush from all sides.
Those people were stunned for a moment, their smiles faded, and said, "It's an ambush! They cheat!"
Along the way, either a real knife or a real gun directly robbed, or ambush in the dark and rushed out to a fierce battle. It's the first time that there is still a bait in front of the show, just like singing a big show. The leader of the recruits gritted their teeth: "What are you afraid of? The number of people is equal, I am afraid that they will not succeed, so I will fight with them!"
As soon as they turned their heads, several people rushed into the melee together.
To be honest, although these people have their own strengths, they are not one in ten thousand. After all, all the recruits who went up the mountain today are the outstanding talents of Liangzhou Wei. The strange thing was that Jiang Jiao had the upper hand as soon as they fought.
One is that they have been up for a long time. They have rested and eaten here for a long time, and they have recharged their energy for a long time. The other recruits just went through the trek and fell into a melee before they could sit down and drink water. Naturally, they were passive. Second, it is the location where they are arranged, which is quite a doorway.
Jiang Jiao and the stone are on the left and right sides, so that they are surrounded by the middle from the beginning to the end. Huang Xiong's big sword was powerful, but it matched Wang Ba's giant axe perfectly, both long and two short, both offensive and defensive, so that the recruit could not find any fault of the opponent, but was frequently suppressed.
Jiang Jiao opened the opponent's sword with one shot and knocked down the opponent's weapons. One of the recruits said, "No, if we can't grab the flag, let's retreat!"
"How to withdraw?" The leading recruit said angrily: "Find a space for me to come out and try!"
He tried to break through several times, but he couldn't find a gap. It is so consumed that they themselves can't hold it anymore.
"That's not right," a recruit avoided Huang Xiong's broadsword and turned to ask, "How come there are only four of them, and one more person?"
Yes, after fighting for a long time, it was only five to four, and there was still one person missing, but because they were suppressed too hard, they didn't even notice it. After being reminded, I immediately understood. The leader of the recruits said: "There is a fraud! Be careful to protect the flag!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ba roared loudly: "He Yan, you are watching a play! You haven't come out yet!"
But I saw a young and cheerful voice from the leafy camphor tree: "Come!"
A red figure suddenly appeared in the jungle, the young man smiled and said Yan Yan, like a swallow passing by, his posture was light, but in the eyes of the other party, it was like an enemy. The shadow rushed towards his door, he jumped down, and let go of his hand subconsciously, the long shadow was like a snake, meandering and flexible, wrapping up the burden and going away, the young man withdrew his nine-section whip, sat on the tree, and smiled. With a flick of her hand, the furoshiki fell. She held a flag in her hand and said with a smile, "Thank you!" Turning her head, she disappeared into the jungle, leaving behind a voice: "I have something in hand, take it away!"
The rest of Jiang Jiao seemed to have received orders, and they were fighting fiercely just now, but now they are completely unwilling to fight. , but after chasing after a few hundred steps, he lost his strength, and watched the group of people run away and disappeared.
"What kind of bandit is this..." Someone collapsed on the ground, scolding through gritted teeth: "It's really lawless!"
"There's no way, the thief won't leave." On the other side, He Yan was letting Jiang Jiao put away the red flag in his hand, and snapped his fingers: "Let's go."
"Where to?" Wang Ba asked.
"Robbery the next house."
…
The pigeon was pacing back and forth on the window. Someone spilled some grains of rice in the palm of his hand. The pigeon fell into his palm, and he obediently allowed the copper pipe to be removed from his leg.
Xiao Jue read the note, handed it to Shen Han, shook his head and smiled.
The words on the note were very simple, and only said one thing. He Yan set up ambush everywhere on the mountain, worked as a robbery, and robbed the flags of several recruit teams.
Fighting for the flag and fighting for the flag focuses on the word "fighting", but it is truly unique in such a sneaky and upright fight. From the very beginning, they only thought about the flag, and they didn't want to argue with other recruits at all. Even if they set up an ambush later, they also focused on the flag. If there is no flag, do not rob it, let others pass by. If there is a flag, they will take advantage of the fire and run away after the robbery.
In the end, the loss is the least, and the flag is the most.
"He's pretty good at making things happen." After a long while, Shen Han choked out these words.
"Not only will he be clever, but he will also use soldiers." Xiao Jue said.
"Use soldiers?"
"Serve far away with close quarters, wait for work with ease, and wait for hunger with fullness." He curved the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "The recruits of Liangzhou Guard were all made fools by him."
Shen Han was speechless, this young man really doesn't know what to say. He suddenly remembered one more thing: "Speaking of these five people, he is the leader, and there is no objection."
In fact, when it comes to fighting for the flag, in addition to fighting with other recruits, there are also disputes in every team. Everyone's habits and tactics are different, and they may not be harmonious. Some teams even compete for command, so that they get nothing in the end. Knowing how to cooperate and know how to arrange can also see the ability of recruits. From this point of view, He Yan already has the ability to dispatch troops.
Among these five people, except for Shi Shi, everyone else had had conflicts and disputes with He Yan, but now no one is arguing with He Yan because of this.
That's what's so special about this young man.
"These guys are all good," Shen Han thought for a while, "Jiang Jiao and the others were slightly better than the other recruits. So far, they haven't been defeated. The Governor sees, are these guys qualified for the forward battalion?"
Xiao Jue chuckled, noncommittal, "It's not that they are strong, it's that He Yan is in formation. A team that is in formation and a group of skirmishers are not the same thing."
"The Governor is saying..." Shen Han seemed to understand.
"The left and right are like crane wings, and after the generals are in the formation, didn't you see it?" Xiao Jue said, "He used five people to set up the crane wing formation."
Probably because the news was too frightening, Shen Han didn't say anything for a while. If a recruit can set up a formation, it almost means that there is something wrong with this person. Shen Han hesitated for a moment: "Maybe... it's a coincidence?"
"Whether it's a coincidence, we'll find out later." Xiao Jue said, "Fei Nu."
The black-clothed guard quietly appeared behind him: "Young Master."
"Send a letter to the other captains on Baiyue Mountain." He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. "On the way down the mountain, set up an array."
"Commander!" Shen Han was anxious: "This will prevent other recruits from going down the mountain!"
"Don't worry," the young man put down the tea cup in his hand, and then picked up the sunspots in the chess box and dropped them. In an instant, he said, "Someone will break the battle."
…
On Baiyue Mountain, next to the stone cliff, a few people were hiding in the grass and counting things.
"One, two, three... Six! We got a total of six flags!" Jiang Jiao was a little happy.
"It's not even half way," Wang Ba poured cold water on him, "How happy are you?"
"Six sides are already very good," Huang Xiong said. "Besides, there are three sides that I grabbed."
Of these six flags, three were found by He Yan and the others by themselves, while three were ambushed by recruits who already had flags near the top of the mountain and snatched them.
"It's still not enough, let's grab some more." Wang Ba held the axe tightly. "Half of it is more than a win."
He Yan shook his head: "I can't grab it now."
Stone frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Right now, other recruits are going up the mountain one after another. Those recruits who were robbed before will definitely tell people about being robbed of the flag by us. I think we are notorious among these people at the moment. Those recruits with flags will only Beware of us, and we kept grabbing three places, and now our physical strength is not as good as before."
"Who said that?" Wang Ba motioned others to look at his strong arms, "I'm full of strength, I'm not tired at all! I can still grab a few more!"
He Yan said: "Oh? What if several families join forces?"
Wang Ba was stunned for a moment.
He Yan spread his hands and said: "We have six flags in our hands right now, which are equivalent to living targets. I think those recruits on the top of the mountain are smart enough to have already thought of joining forces to grab the flags in our hands and divide them up. Hand, five of us, against ten people, twenty people, thirty people... or a hundred people, do you think there is still a need to fight?"
The crowd was speechless.
"Then tell me, what should I do?" After a long while, Wang Ba said impatiently.
"No matter how good things are in the world, there is a first and a second. We have just shown them how to take advantage of the fire. The recruits who want to come next will do the same. We don't have to compare with those recruits one by one, just It's enough to compare with the strongest team among the remaining recruits."
Jiang Jiao's eyes lit up: "What do you mean, when they snipe and mussels fight, we fishermen will benefit?"
Let the remaining recruits be on the mountain. It doesn't matter who the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. There will always be a team that wins. What they have to do is to rob the winning team and take their flag. Should be able to have half of the flag.
"So..." Huang Xiong looked at He Yan inquiringly.
"Go down the mountain."
"Go down the mountain now?" Jiang Jiao hesitated.
"It's still early to go down the mountain, and we can seize the opportunity. Hidden on the only way to go down the mountain, no matter whether the recruits who grab the flag or not, always pass by our eyes. The team that snooped the most is us. the sheep."
"What you said is simple," Wang Ba couldn't help arguing. "The opponent is not a sheep. Since he can get so many flags, he must be a ruthless character. We may not be able to win."
"What you said makes sense." He Yan nodded, "So the game down the mountain will definitely not be easy. But it doesn't matter, we will definitely win."
"Why?"
The young man smiled in high spirits: "Because of me."
