I thought I would take this opportunity to rest for a few days, but I didn't expect that early the next morning, Wei Lin and the others would be divided into three groups, and Guo Linchong had given them a task and set off. Captain Liu led the five of them along with the large army toward the west of Qianyu.
Going back more than ten years to this place in Qianyu, it is a barren land, the climate is not good, and because it is a border area, it is often harassed by foreign invaders. Businessmen dare not come to Qianyu to do business. The cubs, no one has jurisdiction and no one builds.
Until Xue Changfeng came to Guizhou. Xue Changfeng was sent by the public to Qianyu to fight foreign enemies. At that time, Xuan Guo and Xisu fought a battle for more than three months, and Xisu was exhausted and had to submit to Xue Changfeng's methods. And Xue Changfeng also became famous at that time, and he was stationed in the north, and there was no external trouble for ten years.
The outside is stable, and the inside will naturally develop. Although Qianyu is not as quiet as the next door, Lianshuimen, leaning on the northern foothills of Tianmo, at least it will no longer be a backcountry. , the court began to repair the fortifications in Guizhou. However, the west side of Qianyu is originally a hilly area, and it is more difficult to build a city wall. Whenever there are natural disasters and man-made disasters and food shortages, Xisu will come to make trouble and grab food. My favorite is to come from the hilly area in the west.
Because the city wall in the west of Qianyu was built in pieces, it could not play any defensive role at all. Because of this, it seems that the terrain here is open and densely forested, making it difficult to defend, and it has become the focus of the defense of the Northern Army. heavy.
Battalion Commander Sun and several other tents were arranged to guard the west side, so Wei Lin and his party followed along on horseback. They were the only ones who had never been there before. Once they arrived at the west side of Qianyu, Jiang also began to carefully observe the surrounding terrain. Since we don't know when Xisu will attack, the defensive task here is a bit heavy. Everyone has to take turns on duty at night, and they have to hide good people and horses to prevent them from being noticed by the other side.
Guo Linchong himself led the two teams to defend at the heights of Beilu Mountain.
The captain Liu took the newcomers behind him, and he could see that his unhappiness was superficial, and from time to time he would give some pointers about the situation around him and how to deal with it. But when he speaks, only Jia Er listens very seriously, and the others are a little improvised.
Although he is a newcomer, he is not familiar with the terrain, but everyone is not a simple eater. Everyone has some skills. Who would be willing to listen to Captain Liu's constant chatter.
Because he was stationed outside, the only choice for meals was dry food, so Wei Lin specially helped Jiang also bring an extra portion, for fear that Jiang would forget about such a big event again. It's a pity that Jiang is no longer the naive and ignorant young master he used to be, and he has been prepared long ago.
The wave of ambush lasted five days.
For five days, no one here appeared. At this time, the residents of Qianyu and the business travelers in the past are well aware that they may encounter Xisu coming out to fight the autumn wind to grab things, and everyone avoids this location as much as possible. Therefore, they are also better at identifying the enemy, and the people who appear on the west side at this time have certain problems themselves.
It was not until the sixth day that someone finally appeared.
The visitor was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary servant, and walked from the north to the south alone. Their garrisoned from north to south, staggered and divided into four blocks, Jiang Ye and Wei Lin were the most northerly. It was ten minutes in the evening, the sky was getting dark, and Wei Lin was sleepy leaning against a big tree. It's been really boring these few days, because I don't know when Xisu will come, everyone takes turns to watch the night, and they don't dare to say a word during the day, for fear that the ambush will be discovered.
Jiang also concentrated on the first few days, but on the sixth day, Zhao Zhinan and Jia Da, two energetic people, could hardly stand it anymore. Including Jiang Ye, more than fifty people were groggy, but they kept checking their surroundings, for fear of missing any news.
The field on the west side is quite large, and the distance between the various teams is slightly apart, but it can be supported by the blink of an eye.
It was Wei Lin who first discovered the little servant. He was asleep, and no one paid any attention to him, so suddenly Wei Lin opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Ye's clothes not far away: "Someone is coming..."
"Huh?" Jiang looked back at him puzzled.
Wei Lin didn't say a word, just tapped the north with his chin and motioned him to look. Jiang also looked at him. He looked like he was still sound asleep before, his eyes were full of light, and he looked in good spirits.
Jiang also looked in the direction Wei Lin pointed, and the people around were still immersed in boredom. It didn't take long for a person to come from there. Jiang was also a little surprised. He lowered his voice and asked Wei Lin, "How did you know there was someone?"
"I heard." Wei Lin changed from sitting to squatting, and was very close to Jiang. The answer seemed to be close to Jiang Ye's ear, but the sound was too close and it didn't look like Wei Lin. He couldn't help but have some weird thoughts in his mind. He forced himself not to think about it, and asked again, "Can you hear a person?"
"Shh, just wait and see."
The voice was so close that Jiang couldn't help turning his head to look at Wei Lin. Unexpectedly, Wei Lin's mouth was right next to his ear, only a finger's width apart. ran into.
"Wow, living erotic palace!" Jia Er happened to see this scene, and immediately opened his mouth and exclaimed.
They were in ambush, Jia Er's exclamation scared Jia Da half to death, and immediately covered Jia Er's mouth with his hands. Zhao Zhinan and Captain Liu next to him were also drawn to look at them by the shock. Captain Liu frowned, complaining in his heart why he was still so stunned, and then gave Jia Da Jia Er a stern look.
Wei Lin and Jiang also both retreated as early as Jia Er exclaimed, becoming the distance between ordinary brothers.
Jiang also heard his heart beating abnormally fast.
In the past, whether it was quarrels or scuffles with Wei Lin, it didn't matter, but now once the two became intimate, he felt a little hot in his heart.
Wei Lin didn't expect Jiang to turn his head suddenly. He wanted to tease him, but he didn't want to speak too loudly to attract the attention of the people around him. Who knew that this scene would happen - Jiang Ye's bright eyes were filled with surprise, so close that he could see clearly the eyelashes that trembled slightly as he breathed.
He only dared to tell Jiang Ye this, because it wasn't the sound of this person's script that woke Wei Lin to sleep, but the sound of the hoofs of a large number of people. He was leaning against the tree for a nap, and he said that he fell asleep and did not fall asleep, so he followed the ground and the trunk of the tree, and some faint sounds came into his ears. As soon as the hooves stopped, Wei Lin opened his eyes and told Jiang Ye.
Such a clever thing, of course, is to pretend to be a boss with Jiang Ye, but how could it be so embarrassing.
No one speaks anymore, Jia Er still wants to tell Jia Da what he just saw, but Jia Da's hand never let go, Jia Er simply doesn't struggle, just let Jia Da wrap his hands around it. He, still covering his mouth.
Jia Da didn't want to control him all the time, but the servant in front of him had already walked in. He didn't dare to move, for fear of making a noise and being discovered by the servant.
Captain Liu still has some experience in this matter.
This little servant was dressed in plain clothes, maybe he was a resident of Guizhou, or maybe he was sent by Xisu people to explore the way in disguise. But no matter what kind, you can't startle the snake. Captain Liu gestured towards Camp Commander Sun and waited quietly.
After seeing it, Camp Commander Sun gestured to Captain Liu again.
This group of men and horses just dormant in the woods, waiting for the next action of the servant in front of them.
Everything is almost the same as what Guo Linchong had arranged before. The people in ambush everywhere just watched the little servant walk all the way, and no one moved.
The sky was getting darker and everyone was waiting patiently.
After about a stick of incense, the servant walked back from south to north.
The return this time is a naked signal - he is a spy of the Xisu people. It should be disguised as an ordinary person, and then come to the west to carefully observe whether the Northern Army has fortified here, but Guo Linchong has already explained that he must wait for the Xisu people to go deep, and then do it.
Guo Linchong was assigned to stop this time, with only one purpose, that is, one hit must be hit, and the Xisu people should suffer heavy losses, instead of harassing the border all the time.
The servant-like person walked back swaggeringly in front of the hidden crowd as if the emperor had come in person.
Just after the back of the little servant completely disappeared from view, Wei Lin suddenly bumped Jiang Ye lightly with his elbow: "Come on."
Jiang also held his breath and listened carefully, trying to discern the sound of hoofs in the wind.
On the other hand, Battalion Commander Sun, who was very experienced, made another gesture to them before Jiang also heard it.
When Captain Liu saw it, he quickly whispered to the crowd, "Retreat, get on the horse, and prepare."
"Yes!"
All this was going on quietly, everyone retreated into the jungle, their horses were placed in the jungle behind them, everyone acted decisively, including Jia Er, no one said a word of nonsense, everyone rode on the horse, holding hands On the reins, the other hand was already on the handle of the knife.
Xisu people are good at riding and shooting, so they must use ambush to establish an advantage at the first time.
It didn't take long for the messy hooves to appear.
Still no one moved, and the sound of horse hooves passed in front of Wei Lin and the others. Since they had retreated into the dense forest, they could not see anything and could only rely on hearing.
Captain Liu has been listening, relying on hearing to identify the opponent's location, until the opponent has reached the center of the ambush, and he heard the voices of several camps shouting: "Kill!"
Everyone rushed forward with their horses, and the sound of horse hooves was heard in all directions for a while. The troops who came to fight the autumn wind from Xisu looked around in amazement, but they saw people everywhere.
"Crush!" The leader of Xisu raised his long knife and shouted loudly.
It was obvious that the other party had been in ambush long ago, but their spies who went ahead didn't find out anything. The leader was a little annoyed, but this was not the time to ask guilt. Go straight along this road, then head east, and you can go straight into the city. Compared with the number of people, they do not have an advantage, but in terms of riding skills, they can be ten times more powerful than these Xuanguo boys.
But there were also cavalry in front of him.
Guo Linchong arranged a total of more than 400 people to block it here, and it was inevitable that both sides would be attacked at the same time. He himself led 400 people to strictly guard the Beilu Mountain, and the remaining 200 people strictly checked the identities of businessmen entering and leaving the city at various gates.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the leader of the Xisu directly opened the bow and shot the arrows. Three arrows at a time were placed on the bow and shot out, and the arrows were not missed, and the three people facing each other were hit with an arrow in the chest.
"Kill if you can't run!" the leader roared angrily.
They were in the middle, and they were approaching step by step as they were surrounded by the enemy. Taking advantage of the distance, the people from Xisu opened their bows to shoot arrows one after another.
Wei Lin and Jiang also followed Captain Liu, and several teams rushed out together. Captain Liu was the fastest and led the run. Wei Lin wanted to tell Jiang to be careful, but he felt that Jiang would also bicker with him.
This is not the time for bickering. He doesn't want to help Jiang Ye to block swords and arrows like last time, and he can draw a map of Xuanguo on his back.
At this moment, Wei Lin heard the whistling sound of arrows piercing the air, attacking from the right front. He and Jiang Ye rode side by side, and they were very close. Wei Lin didn't even think about it. He held Jiang Ye's back vigorously behind him and shouted loudly, "Bend over!!!"
With this exclamation and the strength coming from behind, Jiang didn't have time to ask what was wrong, the man was already clinging to the horse's neck.
An arrow just swept past his head.
Zhao Zhinan and Jia Da Jia Er were convinced of Wei Lin's words. All five of them crouched down on the horse's back for a while. Only Captain Liu threw a long knife in his hand to attack, and Jiang also ducked to escape. The arrow was directly inserted into Captain Liu's neck.
"So accurate?!" Wei Lin exclaimed.
I saw Captain Liu let go of the reins, and then he fell off the horse.
Jiang also looked back, Captain Liu was bleeding from his mouth, and the arrow was stuck on the side of his neck. If it wasn't for Wei Lin's reminder, he might have been hit by the arrow.
"Captain!" He couldn't help shouting.
If he was hit by an arrow in that position, and then fell off his horse, he probably wouldn't survive.
What happened on the battlefield is not that the brother died today, and the brother is disabled tomorrow, so normal that it can no longer be normal.
The foreheads of the five people began to sweat, and Wei Lin rode his horse to the lead position, and continued to charge with them.
