Travel to the Water Margin

Chapter 209 Attacking the Tiger Head Pass
After the war, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen stood by the city wall and stared blankly at the desert outside.

In the fire, full of pride, both of them were a little bit lost.

Lin Chong smiled wryly and said, "It seems that Brother Wu and Lao Huang haven't arrived yet. This omen is not very good."

Lu Zhishen scratched his head and said, "After dawn, I will lead people to search along the way to see if I can find them."

Lin Chong nodded and said: "Okay, then I will lead people to attack the other two city gates."

Lu Zhishen said: "Brother Lin, why don't you take your troops to fight?"

Lin Chong shook his head and said, "You can't bear it anymore after listening to your tone? There is a chance, but you have to get Brother Wu and Lao Huang back first."

Lu Zhi smiled wryly: "Finding people is not the specialty of the Sa family."

Lin Chong rolled his eyes and said, "How about your internal injuries?"

Lu Zhishen replied: "Even though the Sa family's martial arts are not good enough, their skin and flesh are unparalleled in the world. I was in pain just now, but now I'm fine."

Lin Chong laughed and said, "It's amazing. If you hadn't risked your life to strike, you might not be able to injure the Xixia General. If you can't injure him, you will be injured. Thinking about it, it is extremely thrilling."

Lu Zhishen frowned and said in thought: "The Xixia soldier's moves are very mysterious. They move back and forth without a trace, which is very strange."

Lin Chong smiled and said: "That's how they are, so save your energy!"

Lu Zhishen said solemnly: "The Sa family didn't spend all their energy trying to break the trick. The Sa family only knows how to break a move, and the soldiers come to block it."

Just as Lin Chong was about to answer, there was a strange noise coming from below. He listened attentively, and it turned out to be Lin Youde.

The two were overjoyed and greeted them, and they figured out what was going on.

He brought people to bury Yao Renhou and came back.

At the same time, the scouts sent out reported back.

Huya Pass was knocked down, and in the hands of Le Lin Youde, two defenders, Hutou and Huzhuo, immediately led an attack of [-] people to recapture Huya Pass. Although their strength was far behind Lin Youde's, it was indeed a force that should not be underestimated. power.

While the dozen or so scouts sent out were on the way, Zeng Duoduo made a sneak attack on this force, causing them to lose nearly a hundred people.

"Okay, so who will play?" Lin Youde looked at Lu Zhishen, who was eager to try, while Qingchen shrugged helplessly.

A few minutes later, Lu Zhishen rode a big horse with a big smile, waved his Zen staff and rushed out of Huya Pass, heading towards the direction the scouts reported.

Behind him, there are a thousand heavy armored cavalry and archers who hitch a ride.

"My lord, Monk Hua seems to be unable to hold back anymore."

Lin Youde said with a smile: "Monk Hua, I can't change it."

"Let's go, let's go to Hutou Pass." Lin Youde turned to look at Lin Chong.

"Not waiting for Monk Hua to come back?" Lin Chong was stunned, and then came to his senses.

On the bright side, there are Lu Zhishen and two thousand troops and the remaining two pass cities to restrain him, and a thousand swords and shields are left behind at Huya Pass.

In secret, Lin Youde and Lin rushed to the Hutou Pass, the largest in Xixia.

On the third pole that day, Lin Chong dressed up as a servant, and Lin Youde led the mules and horses, and entered Hutou Pass under the reprimand of Xixia soldiers.

After entering the city, the two drifted with the wind and kept walking on the street.

Lin Chong said with a smile: "This Hutouguan is worthy of Xixia's heavy troops, and it is well organized. It seems that the chaos outside has nothing to do with this place."

Lin Youde watched the bustling scene of people coming and going, and agreed: "Hutou Pass, as the bridgehead of the Song and Xia Western Regions, and as a traffic fortress, has indeed done a good job."

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Huyaguan is a den of bandits. It is extremely corrupt, and the people are terrified every day, worrying that their lives will be gone in the next second.

Hutou Pass looks like a developed town. Although it is located in the border area, it gives people an incomparable sense of tranquility.

Lin Chong and Lin Youde changed into the clothes of Xixia people, and after they sat down in a tavern, the waiter stepped forward to entertain them attentively.

After the buddy left happily, Lin Youde frowned and said, "There are over ten thousand Xixia soldiers here, and there are still twenty thousand militiamen."

Lin Chong smiled and said, "It's really surprising. I can't figure out why there are so many soldiers stationed here."

Logically speaking, a military force of more than [-] troops is already considered an army, and the commander is no longer a general but a marshal.

Lin Youde lowered his head and thought, "Do you think they knew we were coming to sneak attack? Did they startle the snake?"

Lin Chong was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "My lord, this should be unlikely. Our movements are very cautious."

At this time, the waiter served the food and wine but refused to leave immediately, rubbing his hands and respectfully said: "You two masters, do you want to join the Tiger Head Army?"

Lin Chong asked in astonishment, "What?"

The man immediately smiled and said: "This morning, Huya Pass was attacked by the Song army. According to the attack route of the Song army, the next pass should be Hutou Pass, so today the general of Hutou Pass issued an order. Those recruited to the Tiger Head Army can get 1 tael of silver when they sign up! If you don’t take this money, you won’t take it for nothing.”

Lin Youde was stunned for a while: "Thank you!"

Lin Chong looked at Lin Youde and said, "My lord, so that's the case, so what should we do?"

“Let’s play by ear when the time comes!”

Lin Youde remembered that the person with the antidote would come to Tiger Head Sanguan, and was about to speak when a large group of people rushed in.

Not only Lin Youde and Lin Chong, but everyone in the tavern was startled. When they looked at the entrance, they saw a large number of Xixia soldiers. As soon as they came, they arrested people ferociously. Everyone was drinking, including some businessmen with big belly , and even Xiaoer was taken away by them.

"All come with me! The general said that starting today, everyone in Hutou Pass will be exiled to the army except for the old, the weak, women and children!"

"Master Bing Bing, we just stopped by for a rest." A fat businessman smiled and stuffed some things into his hands.

The Xixia soldier kicked out violently, and said angrily: "Ge Laozi, dare to bribe me? Come on, put this bitch into the vanguard!"

"Ah! Vanguard! No, my lord! I have money, I have money."

The Xixia soldiers opened their tiger eyes wide and looked around angrily. Seeing that no one was resisting, they drove them towards the barracks.

Lin Chong frowned and said, "My lord?"

Lin Youde shook his head: "Every step counts."

The Xixia soldiers tied a red cloth on their heads one by one for identification. They were all driven to Hutouguan city gate by the Xixia soldiers and incorporated into the vanguard as cannon fodder.

A group of more than [-]% death squads that don't even have a decent weapon.

If you are lucky, you will bring your own weapons, like Lin Youde and Lin Chong.

I was unlucky, I didn't grab the weapons issued by the Tiger Head Army, and I didn't even have a kitchen knife, so I could only cry and carry a bamboo with bamboo leaves.

A Xixia soldier saw Lin Chong's disassembled big gun on his back, and after a moment of surprise, he asked with great interest, "Are you experts? Or are you a performer who walks the rivers and lakes?"

This is a slang term in the industry, a connoisseur is a warrior who specializes in martial arts, and his combat prowess is not bad.

Actresses are actually those who walk the rivers and lakes to perform boulders in their chests.

Lin Chong said with self-mockery: "We have been on the battlefield, and we left no less than a hundred lives in our hands. Can we go to a better place?"

The Xixia soldier clicked his tongue twice with disdain on his face, as if he thought Lin Youde was bragging and turned around to leave. He had seen many such people.

Lin Chong shrugged.

Lin Youde stretched out his hand and patted Lin Chong's shoulder, and said with a smile, "It seems that they don't know gold inlaid with jade."

Lin Chong had no choice but to smile wryly.

Time flies, there is only a crescent moon hanging in the night sky, and it is dark outside the city gate. Thousands of innocent people who were captured by the strong men all went to bed early after eating gruel that was worse than pig food, and there was silence everywhere except Xixia soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall could vaguely see the outline of Hutouguan building from a distance.

But if someone can look under Hutouguan, they will find that there is a densely packed cold light of weapons under the edge of the city wall!
These were dozens of scouts summoned by Lin Youde, nearly half of them were dressed in black and held weapons.

They sneaked in with the help of the night, and then found the general in Hutou Pass, and directly executed the beheading tactic.

This was decided after discussion between Lin Youde and Lin Chong. There is no better tactic than the current situation.

Inside Hutou Pass, the Xixia soldiers stationed behind the city gate were waiting in full force. Since the early morning reception of the Song army's capture of Huya Pass, the general immediately launched a call-up, vowing to defend Hutou Pass to the death.

Yes, defending Hutou Pass to the death is compared with Huya Pass and Huzhu Pass.

Hutou Pass is even more important. As the first front line for Xixia to prevent the Song Dynasty from invading, once Hutou Pass is lost, it will definitely mean that the Song army can drive straight into Xixia.

This kind of thing happened more than once!
The kind of teacher Tao that Xixia people fear most!He is the master of this tactic!
Invaded Xixia again and again.

In the darkness, Lieutenant General Xixia who was in charge of the night's vigil suddenly stood up, and he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Little ones!" Lieutenant General Xixia sternly roared, attracting dozens of pairs of bright eyes with doubts, all looking at their commander in unison!
Su Erwu was wearing thick cowhide armor, a leather helmet, and a long sword hanging around his waist. At this moment, he was frowning tightly, standing upright like a sword, and quietly scanning the distance.

"Commander Su?" The messengers waiting on the left and right looked up at the night in the distance suspiciously.

Su Erwu couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "It's too quiet!"

The messenger echoed: "Commander, this place is now an important place for military strategists, isn't it normal to be quiet?"

Su Erwu didn't speak. He glanced at his messenger lightly and said, "It's fine if our brothers are resting quietly at this moment. Why are the vanguards under the city gate so quiet?"

After saying this, the messenger became a little nervous.

Su Erwu felt a little irritable in his heart, and after a while, he seemed to notice something.

He waved his hand to make the orderer give a signal, and the torch was lit, and a faint flame, like a flying firefly, shook several times in a row.

After the Xixia soldiers in the distance saw the signal from the opposite side, they also shook their torches left and right.

"Huh, as long as it's okay." Su Erwu heaved a sigh of relief, picked up a pot of rice wine and drank it.

At this moment, five black-clothed scouts approached quietly, covering their faces, holding a dagger in one hand, their cautious eyes darting around, looking at the Xixia soldiers who were slowly approaching them.

A group of ten Xixia soldiers followed closely, and walked slowly along the city wall to the city gate.

Looking at the six roads and listening to all directions, I didn't find anything unusual, until I suddenly stopped at one place, and as I got closer, I could see its outline clearly.

At this moment, this group of Xixia soldiers shrank suddenly, and someone was behind them!
Several Xixia soldiers trembled in their hearts, suddenly felt the wind in their ears, and subconsciously drew out their daggers, and with a "bang", they felt a chill in their chests. When they looked down, they were stabbed into their lungs by a dagger, and then fell down. land.

In the dark corner, the scouts who had been crouching for a long time started to do something.

"who!"

Suddenly, I heard a sound coming from behind me. When I looked back, I saw a Xixia soldier was broken by a direct blow and fell to the ground.

Su Erwu was startled when he heard the sound, and squinting, he saw that the person who came was a black-clothed and masked scout.

"Enemy attack!!" The messenger yelled and woke up Hutouguan.

But Su Erwu started to run in big strides, and he arrived in front of him in a few steps. With a long sword in his hand, he swung his hand and slashed at the scout's waist!
The scout withdrew abruptly, dodged a blow, and stabbed Su Erwu with his backhand.

The top of his head was sweating suddenly, how much strength is this?
Suddenly there was a blur in front of my eyes, but I saw three or four daggers stabbing at them all at once!
Suddenly, he collided with the orderly rushing from behind, and saw that the dagger in the orderly's hand pierced directly into his waist and abdomen.

"you……"

Su Erwu snorted, vomited a mouthful of blood, and looked at the messenger in disbelief.

The messenger grinned and said: "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Three years ago, you brought Xixia soldiers to my village to burn, kill, loot, insult my wife, and kill my child. Just thinking of today, in order to kill you, I disfigured and betrayed you!" Song, I came to lurk by your side just to kill you."

After finishing speaking, the sword in the messenger's hand couldn't help but clenched a little more, twisted it, pulled it out, and stabbed it again and again.

"The scouts have started, it's our turn."

Lin Youde's patience was exhausted, he stopped hesitating, drew out the dragon blood knife and stood up abruptly from the vanguard, shouting: "Where is my son of heaven?"

There was a sharp piercing sound, silver light suddenly appeared, and dense fog suddenly rose!

The dragon blood knife was raised high, and the brilliance flashed by. In the thick fog, the sound of drums and thunder came, and the dull but inaudible military songs were loud and clear, gradually advancing from a distance.

"Yes, my lord."

A brilliance flashed in the clouds, and in the endless thick fog, one after another figures came over in a mighty manner.

2 pikemen strided forward in a well-organized formation, with heavy and uniform footsteps.

1 archers with arrow pots on their backs and huge black bows appeared.

1 sword and shield hands set off billowing smoke and dust, the rumble was mixed with the clang of swords and the rattle and vibration of armor.

The weather-beaten face stepped out of the white mist.

Such as the gradual muffled thunder from a distant mountain, its momentum is like a broken bamboo ground.

The rage rolled the dust under the team's feet, and steaming hot air rushed out from the sharp armor.

This is a siege battle, there is no cavalry, and it is useless to ask for cavalry!

Lin Youde is confident that 4 people can beat Hutou Pass with 3 people!

"Lin Chong!" Lin Youde roared.

Lin Chong knelt down and shouted, "The end is here!"

"I order you to be the general of the Tiger Army! Lead 4 troops! Take the Tiger Head Pass, how dare you?"

Lin Chong raised his head, and his tiger eyes shone brightly: "The last general takes orders!"

"Lin Chong's special skills are activated, coach: when leading troops in battle, the soldier's ability to recover from injuries +20%, during training, the soldier's ability to fight on the battlefield +15%."

Invisibly, all the soldiers lightened up one after another.
