Zhang Tailing's fire thunder is naturally extremely powerful. It can not only kill and injure the bandits, but most importantly, it can severely frighten the psychology of the Black Mountain bandits.
When he came out of seclusion this time, Qin Xiao prepared a lot of materials for preparing fire thunder according to Zhang Tailing's request. Just in case, Zhang Tailing usually secretly made fire thunder alone in a closed room. Although after many days, he made the fire thunder.
The number of fire mines is limited, but they can be used just right.
Qin Xiao transferred all the materials from the warehouse at night and went south to find a hidden place to store them temporarily. Within the military camp, he buried all the fire bombs.
It's just that if the fire mine package is to explode, someone must light the fire fuse. However, if someone is left to light the fire in the camp, it will be easily discovered by the Black Mountain bandits, and they will definitely die.
However, Yu Wen Chengchao was sure that once the Black Mountain bandits were defeated, they would probably set the camp on fire in a fit of anger. All he had to do was pull out the fuses from the fire bombs buried in the ground and hide them in places where fires were easy to catch. Once the Black Mountain bandits lit the fire
, it will quickly burn the fuse, causing the fire package to explode on its own.
Although Qin Xiao was not sure that the Black Mountain bandits would definitely set the fire, this was the best way.
From a certain point of view, whether the Black Mountain bandits are in purgatory depends on whether they set fire to the camp. If they find that the camp is empty, they can withdraw their troops immediately, which will naturally preserve their strength. However, if they get angry and set the camp on fire, they are digging their own grave.
The reality turned out to be as Yuwen Chengchao expected, Du Zitong led his troops to nothing, and in a rage, he set fire to the camp.
Although it dealt a heavy blow to the Black Mountain bandits, the military camp that had been built with a lot of effort was almost destroyed. There were many potholes on the ground. Qin Xiao knew that he could only choose another open space to rebuild the military camp. Fortunately, all the materials were prepared in advance.
They have all been moved and no heavy losses have been caused.
Song Lun was slightly injured, and one of his arms was bruised and bruised. Fortunately, he was able to survive, but when he retreated, he was captured by several cavalry and became a prisoner.
He still can't figure out what the weapon was that killed and injured so many brothers in the military camp.
The temporary prisoner camp was only surrounded by a wooden fence. Five to six hundred prisoners were locked inside, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the surrounding areas.
Fortunately, it's not deep winter yet, otherwise if they were imprisoned in the open air like this, several people would freeze to death overnight.
Song Lun didn't understand what kind of weapon he was injured by, let alone how the night attack could lead to such a result.
These five thousand people are the most elite brothers on the mountain. They have fought many battles with the Liaodong Army and have almost never lost to the Liaodong Army. They are all very brave, but what happened last night was completely different.
The brothers who once marched forward bravely were frightened by the thunder-like weapon and fell into chaos, becoming a completely rabble.
What's terrible is that when the troops fell into chaos, the fourth leader failed to stand up and stabilize people's hearts, nor did he quickly make new arrangements under the severe situation. As a result, the brothers were scurrying around like headless flies, becoming lambs to be slaughtered.
.
If the second boss was present, even if it failed, it would not be such a chaotic situation.
"You, come out!" Song Lun was reflecting on why this battle was fought like this. Suddenly he heard a voice. He and many people around him looked over and saw several officers and soldiers standing behind the wooden fence. One of them was charging at him.
He hooked his fingers here, and next to the officer and soldier, one of his brothers who had become a prisoner was pointing at him.
Song Lun looked around, but the brothers beside him were all looking at him. The officer and soldier stared straight at Song Lun and said: "Chief Song, you don't need to look around, it's you who is calling."
Song Lun stood up, knowing that his identity had been exposed. He raised his head, walked slowly over, and glanced at the prisoner next to the officer and soldier. The prisoner lowered his head and did not dare to look at each other.
"If you want to kill or behead me, just come here." Song Lun sneered and said, "Don't fucking raise your fingers at me."
The officer and soldier frowned and said without any nonsense, "Follow us!" Then the officer and soldier opened a gap in the wooden fence. Song Lun did not hesitate and walked out. Two officers and soldiers held their sabers, one on the left and one on the right.
Following Song Lun, someone led the way, and when they reached a temporary tent, officers and soldiers opened the tent door and signaled Song Lun to enter.
Song Lun frowned, then sneered and walked into the tent.
The tent was quite bright, and there was a low table in the middle, with wine and food on it. Although it was not rich, Song Lun felt that he was really hungry when he saw the food and wine.
There was a young man sitting at the low table, wearing armor and no helmet, looking at him with a smile.
"Who are you?" Song Lun looked around and his eyes fell on the young man. The armor was obviously not something that ordinary soldiers could possess. He suddenly thought of something and said in a voiceless voice: "Are you Qin... Qin Xiao?"
The leader of the Long Rui Army was a young general who killed Qin Xiao, the Prince of Bohai in Kyoto. As the second leader of Baimuzhai, Song Lun naturally knew Qin Xiao's name.
"Sit down and talk." Qin Xiao raised his hand and signaled: "Chief Song must be hungry. There is wine and vegetables here. If you are not afraid of poison, you can eat as much as you like."
Song Lun sneered, walked over, sat down, didn't say anything, didn't use chopsticks at all, just reached out to grab it and ate it.
"He is indeed a reckless hero." Qin Xiao said with a smile.
Song Lun looked around while eating and heard Qin Xiao smile and say: "If Leader Song wants to capture the thief and capture the king, I advise you to give up such plans. You are no match for me." His voice was gentle, but full of absoluteness.
confidence.
Song Lun was startled. When he saw Qin Xiao alone in the tent with no guards around him, he really wanted to seize the opportunity to capture Qin Xiao. As long as he captured Qin Xiao and used him as a hostage, he might not be able to exchange for the safety of hundreds of brothers.
Return to the mountain.
But as soon as this thought came up, Qin Xiao dispelled it.
But Song Lun also knew in his heart that this young man looked harmless to humans and animals, but he was the one who killed the Bohai Crown Prince. The Bohai Crown Prince challenged the heroes of the Tang Dynasty in Kyoto. Many young heroes from all walks of life were killed and injured under his hands, but he was eventually killed by Qin
Xiao's killing also shows that Qin Xiao's martial arts are indeed amazing.
Song Lun was very clear about his own calculus. He was definitely not the opponent of the other party. Moreover, since the other party had spoken out, he was already on guard. If he made a move, he would not be able to control the other party in an instant. The officers and soldiers outside would rush in without the other party taking action.
Come in.
Song Lun didn't talk nonsense. After eating and drinking, he finally asked: "You can take action."
"Do it?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "What does Leader Song mean by this?"
"Aren't you going to kill me?" Song Lun was not afraid: "We have fallen into your trap. We have to kill or behead them as we please. There is a scar as big as a bowl on the head, but eighteen years later we are a good man again." Qin
Xiaoxiao said: "Is Chief Song so sure that he will be reincarnated after eighteen years?" Before Song Lun could say anything, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Song Lun asked suspiciously: "What do you want to do?"
"I will wrong you for a long time." Qin Xiao whispered: "At midnight tonight, I will withdraw the guards. At that time, you can take your men and escape quickly. Many of you are injured, so it's best
Carry whatever you can, hump whatever you can, and don't leave anyone behind. The Liaodong Army will soon get the news that they are incompatible with you in the Black Mountains. If they know that we have captured a large number of prisoners, they will definitely find a way to get there.
Those left behind will inevitably die."
Song Lun had a look of astonishment on his face. He couldn't believe it and said doubtfully, "You want to let us go?"
"We don't have much food. If you are left with five or six hundred more mouths, do we have to share the food with you?" Qin Xiao sighed: "In addition, you have many wounded people who will be divided from us if you stay.
Wound medicine. The Liaodong Army will come to ask for you soon. If I hand you over to them, everyone will think that Long Rui Army is afraid of them. If we don't hand over you, the conflict between us and them will only deepen. In this case,
I have only two choices, either to kill you all, or to let you go. Last night you were a life-and-death struggle, and there were casualties on both sides. Now you are prisoners and unarmed. If I kill you all, I will
A real butcher."
Song Lun was even more stunned. He never expected that Qin Xiao would let the prisoners go, and he still couldn't believe it.
"If you let us go, wouldn't it be a serious crime if the court knew about it?" Song Lun looked at Qin Xiao and didn't believe it: "Qin, what on earth are you doing?"
Qin Xiao stared at Song Lun and said calmly: "At midnight tonight, you can leave if you want, and stay if you want to stay. However, it is best not to spread the word before midnight." He raised his hand and said, "You can go."
Song Lun looked suspicious. He stood up and walked to the tent. Suddenly he heard Qin Xiao say: "After you go back, tell me for you...!" At this point, he stopped abruptly and Song Lun replied.
He turned his head and asked, "What? Do you want me to take the lead?"
"No." Qin Xiao shook his head and asked, "You are the second leader of Baimuzhai, right?"
Song Lun knew that Qin Xiao might have learned a lot about the situation on the mountain from other prisoners before, so he did not answer. Qin Xiao said: "There are five leaders in Heishan. Baimuzhai is the fourth leader. Are you the fourth leader?"
"good!"
Qin Xiao was thoughtful, then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!"
Song Lun looked at Qin Xiao, said nothing, walked out of the tent, and looked back again, full of doubts.
When Qin Xiao and Song Lun were talking, Du Zitong had already returned to Heishan with more than a thousand of his subordinates. Someone on the mountain had already seen him blowing a trumpet to send a message. Du Zitong looked embarrassed when he heard the sound of the trumpet. He knew that the sound of the trumpet was to the people on the mountain.
After sending the message, the soldiers and horses who went out returned in triumph.
However, he took five thousand brothers down the mountain, and less than half of them came back, completely defeated.
"Yuanbao, what are you going to tell the master later?" Du Zitong knew that what was coming next might be the darkest moment in his life. This time he sent troops because he repeatedly requested him and took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the attack. But now it ended like this
, even if the boss is not punished, the losses this time are unprecedentedly heavy, and his prestige in the mountain, which was not too high, will definitely plummet.
Yuan Bao had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Tell the truth!"
