The second leader Meng Lu stood on a high place and shouted loudly, ordering the Miao soldiers to retreat down the mountain.
At this moment, the ground has been splashed with oil, and it is a little sticky under the feet. There are dry firewood and dry grass on both sides of the mountain road. If there is a big fire, wouldn't it mean that three thousand people and horses will be stewed in a spoonful?
After hearing the order from the second leader Meng Lu, the Miao soldiers immediately turned around and retreated down the mountain. The Miao soldiers who were originally in the rear team became the front team. It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. Three thousand people were crowded on the narrow mountain road. If they wanted to
Wouldn’t it be a joke to go down the mountain immediately?
At this moment, there was another loud rumbling sound from the side peak of the mountain road, and a huge boulder crashed onto the retreating path of the Miao soldiers. Fortunately, the few Miao soldiers walking in the lead leaned against the mountain wall to dodge when they saw that the situation was not good.
Escaped.
The setting sun has reached the end of the sky, and darkness is slowly covering the earth. Just when the mountain road fell into semi-darkness, someone actually held a torch to illuminate it. This person was wearing a shirtless coat, holding a torch in his hand and standing on the boulder that had just fallen.
superior.
"Who are you?" the leader of the Miao soldiers asked loudly, but then he was speechless. He had seen this man before, it was the Ming Ting general who defeated the leader Mao Chi with one move. Yes, come on
The person is none other than Zhang Dakui.
There were three thousand Miao soldiers in front of him, but Da Kui turned a blind eye and just waved his hands to drive away mosquitoes and flies. Along the way, the weather was sultry and hot, but he could not bathe and change clothes in time. At this moment, he held a torch and attracted a lot of mosquitoes and flies.
The Miao people are scattered all over the mountain road, but the surrounding areas are silent. They are afraid of disturbing the person standing on the big rock. Once someone trembles and throws the torch on the road, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe.
"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say. You don't want to be a member of the Xiaoyao Mountains, but you do this business of killing people and selling goods. It's really outrageous." Dakui said calmly, Miao Bing, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't know this
What do people mean when they say this? Dakui continued: "Everyone goes to one side of the road to the sky. If you block it, you must know that there will be retribution in the reincarnation of heaven." As he spoke, Dakui shook the torch in his hand. This move naturally attracted Miao Bing.
There was a moment of panic.
Meng Lu, the second leader, had seen the boulder falling from behind, and he knew something was going to happen. As soon as the team stopped, he rushed to the front team. When he saw Dakui standing alone on the boulder from a distance, he couldn't help but feel evil in his heart.
I was born, and I quietly took a hard bow from the hand of the crossbowman beside me, and took out a long arrow. The long arrow was strung with both hands, and the sound of "creak" was heard when the bow was pulled like a full moon.
The second leader Meng Lu hid in the crowd, lowering his body slightly to avoid being discovered by Da Kui. He aimed the arrow at Da Kui's heart and said in his heart: "I will kill you with one arrow and see what else you can do." Thinking of this, he pulled the string.
He let go of his right hand. With a whoosh sound, the long arrow shot toward Dakui with a sharp whistle.
Da Kui was talking endlessly to the Miao soldiers in front of him, and when he was talking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of a long arrow breaking through the wind. Da Kui hurriedly flashed to the left with a "dou" sound, and the long arrow was unexpectedly unstoppable.
By chance, he shot the torch in Dakui's hand, causing sparks to fly out when the torch shook.
At the same time, there was a loud noise from the peak on the side of the mountain road. This noise was very familiar to Miao Bing. It was the sound of big rocks rolling down the mountain. Without any suspense, there was a loud "boom" and the big rocks came to life.
It smashed into the crowd. Several miserable screams suddenly stopped. Four or five Miao people were hit by the big stone and their flesh and blood were mutilated. Their condition was too horrible to look at.
Dakui looked coldly at the people at his feet and shouted loudly: "Once the torch in my hand is extinguished, you will be destroyed. The mountain has been occupied by my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Thanks to the rocks and logs you have prepared, hehehehe
."
The second leader, Meng Lu, mingled in the crowd and did not dare to move. He knew that what the man standing on the stone said was true. Once the Miao soldiers made any move, it would be a real disaster. It does not take much to ambush on the mountain.
Only a few hundred people are enough. If each person throws a stone, the Miao soldiers will suffer heavy losses.
Wang Xiyuan and Luo Dahai led the convoy slowly around the foot of the mountain, heading towards the west valley entrance of the canyon. As they walked, Wang Xiyuan looked up at the cliffs on both sides. It was already evening, but the shadows on the cliffs were not clear.
It wasn't until he got out of the valley that Wang Xiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally out of danger.
Luo Dahai was riding on the horse, and when he saw the look on Wang Xiyuan's face, he comforted him: "Master Zhang is brave and gentle, and everything will be fine." Luo Dahai has known Da Kui for a long time, and he knows the details of Da Kui very well.
.
"I hope Mr. Zhang can return safely, God bless you." Wang Xiyuan prayed softly, his attitude was extremely Chicheng.
But Luo Dahai smiled and said: "Master Zhang has been in battle for a long time. Taking the heads of enemy generals out of ten thousand troops is like picking out a bag, let alone these three thousand Miao soldiers?" Luo Dahai was full of confidence in his words, and he rode his horse to follow Lu Bingyan.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but be curious.
"What's your name?" Lu Bingyan asked bluntly.
Wang Xiyuan laughed and said: "Oh, look, I forgot to introduce you." He pointed at Luo Haida and said: "This is the head of the Suzhou Escort Bureau, Luo Hailao." After that, he said to Luo Haida.
Luo Dahai said: "This is Miss Lu Binglan Lu from Guilin Zhuangjia Dazhai."
Luo Dahai cupped his fists and saluted Lu Binglan. Lu Binglan just smiled softly and asked: "The escort leader Luo said that Mr. Zhang has been in battle for a long time. Could it be that he was a general before?"
Luo Dahai laughed and said: "Master Zhang is more than just a general. He was once the mighty general of the Red Scarf Army in Jiangbei, with 400,000 soldiers and horses under his command. If it weren't for the injustice of heaven, he must have been one person below ten thousand people at this time.
."
When Luo Dahai said this, Lu Binglan couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart. If someone else said it, Lu Binglan might not believe it, but Luo Dahai is the chief escort of the escort agency, so he would never lie to others. Besides, Mr. Wang, a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, also
Put aside, after Luo Dahai said this, Master Wang did not refute, so Lu Binglan believed Luo Dahai's words even more.
"Why is he wearing a short coat all day long as a general? Don't you officials in the Ming Dynasty have to pay attention to their appearance?" Although Lu Binglan said this, there was no trace of teasing in her heart. On the contrary, Wang Xiyuan in front of him had a calm expression.
Naturally, Wang Xiyuan was wearing a crimson official robe at the moment. He was sitting upright on his horse, fully paying attention to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. However, he felt bitter in his heart: "On such a hot day, if there weren't so many people, I would have worn a short coat."
While everyone was chatting casually, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and Dakui arrived with two hundred followers.
It turned out that Dakui had walked all the way without seeing the Miao people's informants, so he knew that they must be hiding in the dark. To find the Miao people's informants in the vast mountains was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so he went straight to the cliff where the Miao people were ambush.
With.
Meng Ge Panbu and others led two hundred elite soldiers and climbed up the cliff next to the post road. After occupying the high ground, they sent a signal to their companions and Dakui at the bottom of the mountain. Wang Xiyuan received the message and ordered his people to pack up and set off.
.
The Miao spy who was hiding in the dark saw the Ming army's chariots and horses moving, so he rushed back to the bottom of the cliff where Mao Chi was to report the news. He wanted to inform Mao Chi as soon as possible that two hundred Ming troops had entered the mountain and the chariots and horses were coming.
Unexpectedly, before turning around the foot of the mountain, Dakui, who had been waiting there, stopped him halfway.
Da Kui stripped off the Miao man's eyeliner and threw it into the bushes, and then changed his clothes. The Miao man who reported the message was actually Da Kui pretending to be the Miao man, but Da Kui only reported one of the two messages...
Wang Xiyuan saw Dakui and others coming back from a distance, and quickly raised his voice to say hello: "Sir Zhang, please speak in front of the team."
With the sound of hoofbeats, Da Kui rode his horse to the front of the team and said: "Don't worry, the Miao people will not chase us before dawn."
Wang Xiyuan shook his head and sighed: "It's really dangerous." But then Wang Xiyuan asked: "I wonder what Mr. Zhang used the vegetable oil for?"
Da Kui chuckled and told the story. It turned out that Da Kui ordered people to mix the vegetable oil and water carried by the team and dump it on the mountain road. (When the oil is small, the area when mixed with water is large, and the oil is heavier than water, so the oil
It will be above and water will be below. If you light a fire, it will still burn.) If the Miao people dare to make an attack, there will be rolling logs and rocks above and burning fire below, so that they will die without a burial place.
This preparation was just to allow Wang Xiyuan to lead the team of chariots and horses through the canyon as quickly as possible. When the elite soldiers on the mountain saw that the convoy left the canyon safely, they quietly retreated down the cliff. Wang Xiyuan had already left the horses at the valley entrance camp, and Meng Ge and Pan Bu
He led his elite soldiers on fast horses and rushed to the foot of the cliff. Dakui withdrew and joined the others again.
After hearing what happened, Wang Xiyuan couldn't help but ask: "When the Miao people see you leaving, won't they get out of trouble? What will they do if they come after you?" Wang Xiyuan's words are not unreasonable, but when Dakui heard this, he was like
He laughed and said: "I threatened them not to cross the big rocks before dawn. But they never thought that our troops had already left early."
After hearing what Dakui said, Wang Xiyuan nodded but immediately shouted: "Everyone, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." After repeated urging, the team of carriages and horses indeed moved much faster.
At this time, Dakui asked Lu Bingyan: "Miss Lu, didn't you say you would go back after passing the valley?"
Lu Bingyan prepared her thoughts for a while before replying: "Sir Zhang, let's turn back now. What should we do if the Miao people come to kill us?"
Dakui scratched his head and said, "No way." But then Dakui asked, "If you don't go back, are you going to follow us to Zhongqing City?"
Lu Bingyan smiled sweetly and said, "Just go, it's time to go out and relax."
Looking at Lu Bingyan's pretty appearance, Da Kui couldn't help but feel a little in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that there was Huang Ying at home, Da Kui would have really wanted to take Lu Bingyan in as well. He wanted to think about it, but Da Kui didn't dare to mess around. Others were paid for being an official.
A house full of three wives and four concubines is nothing more than a flower in the well. If you want a harmonious family, one woman is enough. At least this is what Dakui thinks. Looking at the world, there are many wealthy families who have gone through twists and turns, and the trees fell and the hozens scattered.
The former Jeju Governor Yang Luji is an example. When Yang Luji died and his family dispersed, who would remember Yang Luji? Money can buy a moment's heart, but it cannot buy a lifetime. This is how things in the world are. The poor are happy, and the rich are miserable.
