Dry Dream

Yong, is this letter reliable?

Zhao Yong also saw the words on the note, rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "General, it's better for our army to station here first, and the general will take a few soldiers back to find out."

I nodded and said, "Alright."

I ordered Zhao Yong ten scout cavalry to go back to Nagasaki Mountain to investigate, and I waited in the camp full of anxiety.

This wait is a whole day.

170. Ambush

Post time: 07/032010

It was getting dark, and I finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to send my army back, but at this moment, Tanma came to report that Zhao Yong came back covered in blood.

What? !

I was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered someone to fetch Zhao Yong.Zhao Yong came down to the door of the tent with the help of two soldiers, and he was covered in blood and was very embarrassed.

"General Zhao! What happened!" My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I rushed to grab Zhao Yong's shoulder and asked.

"General, the rebel army has surrounded the village. General Yun has suffered heavy casualties. The last general will fight his way back and report to the general!" Zhao Yong said calmly.

"Send the order and go back to Nagasaki Mountain immediately!" I shouted anxiously.

"Yes!" The soldier agreed and went down to deliver the order.

"Take General Zhao down for treatment!" I said again.

"Yes!" The two soldiers supporting Zhao Yong replied, and supported Zhao Yong to turn around and leave.

I put my hands behind my back and paced in the tent, the more I thought about this, the more wrong it became.Could it be that Ziluo was also transferred from the mountain?Otherwise, why did Ziluo leave without saying hello?

Time is tight, so I don't allow too much delay.8000 people and horses had only come out for half a day's journey, so they turned around and walked back.I led [-] cavalry to rush back to Nagasaki Mountain first, and the remaining [-] infantry rushed forward and then arrived.

Riding on the horse, my mind is full of what happened in the past two days.Who was the man in white before dawn?And what Zhao Yong said...

It would take more than half an hour to return to Nagasaki Mountain from the campsite. Why did Zhao Yong go for a whole day before returning?

Why didn't Zhao Yong panic and feel sad when he reported the military situation?None of the ten scout cavalry he brought back came back.

Could Zhao Yong be a spy?

While thinking about it, he saw the gray mountain pass in the distance, and there was a faint explosion sound.Because the distance is still far away, and the cottage is hidden deeply, there is no fire or movement to be seen for the time being.I stopped the horse and raised my hand to signal, and the cavalry officers and soldiers behind me stopped.

"General, why did you stop?" the captain of the cavalry rushed forward and asked in a low voice.

"I suspect there is a trick in it." I said softly, "You take the soldiers around to the foot of the southwest mountain, and go up the mountain from the path there. The road is narrow and steep, and horses tend to stumble, so be careful."

"What about you, general?" the captain asked again hastily.

"I'm going up the mountain from the main pass to see if there's an ambush!" I said in a deep voice, staring at the pass for a moment.

"General, isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone?" The captain was a little anxious, "Why don't the general go up the mountain with us from the trail together!"

"No," I shook my head. "If there are really rebels ambushing, we will all go up the mountain by the trail, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of the rebels. If the rebels turn to surround the trail, we will wait for the entire army to be wiped out."

"But……"

"Let's go!" I didn't wait for the captain to say anything else, I shook the rein and clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards the mountain pass.

Tonight's moon is particularly bright, shining brightly on the snow.While listening intently to the movement around me, I urged my horse to come to the mountain pass.The wide avenue slowly extends upwards around the mountain wall, like a thick boa constrictor perched on the mountainside.

I stopped the horse and hesitated for a while, because the closer I got to the mountain road, the more restless I became, and I always felt that there was something very dangerous waiting for me in front of me.

After waiting for a while, guessing that the cavalry of our army should have already entered the small mountain road, they urged their horses to run up the mountain.

This avenue is the main road to the village. Although the slope is gentle and the road is wide and easy for the army to march, it is winding and long.Although the small mountain road is steep, it is a very short shortcut.

Turning a corner along the mountain road, two rows of torches stuck in the snow appeared on both sides of the road ahead, and a figure stood not far away.

I stopped the horse and took a closer look, the figure seemed to be Fang Dong.What is he doing standing there?

"Brother Fang?" I frowned and asked strangely, and urged the horse to walk forward slowly.When he got closer, he finally saw that this person was indeed Fang Dong.It's just that he is very strange, staring but not speaking.Arms behind his back, feet stuck motionless in the snow.

"Brother Fang, what's wrong with you?" I jumped off my horse and walked towards him.I saw Fang Dong's staring eyes turned to the left, then to the right, and finally lowered to look at his feet, and then turned back to look at me.As I got closer and closer, his eyes became wider and wider, and finally he could clearly see the thick bloodshot eyes born from anxiety.

"Brother Fang, why don't you speak?" I frowned and stopped five feet in front of Fang Dong, full of doubts in my heart.

Fang Dong opened his mouth slightly, but his lips were covered with blood.Tears welled up in his eyes, he shook his head hastily and slightly, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets with a look of anxiety.

My scalp was numb and my heart jumped and my eyes widened. Fang Dong's tongue was cut!

At the same time, there was a dense sound of "whoosh" in the woods on both sides, and the rain of arrows hit Fang Dong and me like a fishing net.

My mind went blank, but my body started spontaneously.Quickly tore off the cotton cloak on his body, used his internal strength to prop up the armor on the armor, and then moved the cloak around Fang Dong to block the arrows.When I turned behind Fang Dong, I finally understood why Fang Dong would burst into tears of despair at me.Because his arms are tied behind his back, and there is a burning thunderbolt in the middle.

It's just a thunderbolt, I thought disdainfully.

After the last thunderstorm, I have no fear of this fierce looking thing.In the blink of an eye, I reached out and removed the bomb, turned around and threw it into the woods beside me.It's a pity that the fuse has been burned to the end, and it exploded as soon as it was thrown out.

Seeing that Zha Lei was taken away by me, Fang Dong breathed a sigh of relief and looked better, but he still stood upright.

I knew he must not be able to move, and when I turned to him for the third time, I took a momentary gap to look down.After just one glance, my movements froze for a moment, because Fang Dong's feet were nailed to the ground by two finger-thick iron nails.The blood had been frozen, but it had stained the ground and snow around his feet red.

His tongue was cut, his feet were nailed through, and he was carrying a bomb behind him.Why are the rebels so cruel?

No, it was also cruel for me to punch through the chest of the rebel general...

But I didn't torture him!One punch kills without pain!Why do you torture Big Brother Fang like this!

"Ding ding ding..." There was a crisp ding ding sound in my ears, it was the sound of arrows hitting my armor.Because of the internal force added to the armor, arrows cannot penetrate it.

"Ah! Ah!" Fang Dong suddenly looked around in horror and shouted. I withdrew my thoughts and looked around, only to see thunder and arrows flying from both sides.With a thought, it seemed that the rebels in the woods were about to run out of arrows, otherwise they would not have thrown another bomb.

He flew up and kicked with both feet, kicking a few bombs back into the woods.It was lively now, with constant bangs, flames soaring into the sky, screams, and armor and weapons being blasted high into the sky.

The arrows stopped shooting immediately.

171. Fighting

Post time: 07/042010

"Humph!" I wiped the hot sweat off my face and snorted heavily, but when I turned my face, I saw that the war horse had been shot into a hedgehog and fell to the ground.Shaking his head helplessly, it seems that he can only run to the cottage.

Seeing that he was out of danger, Fang Dong showed a miserable but somewhat relieved smile.My nose is a little pantothenic, and he has become like this, how will he live the rest of his life?

"Brother Fang, don't worry, when we win and return to Beijing, I will definitely find a wife for you!" I patted Fang Dong's shoulder lightly and said.Although Fang Dong can no longer speak, he is still capable of living a good life.

Fang Dong nodded with tears in his eyes, his smile looked much prettier.

I drew out the big knife at my waist, lowered my eyes, and instantly picked out the iron nails on his feet.Fang Dong groaned in pain and fell to the ground, his legs shaking non-stop.

Putting the knife back into its sheath, he squatted down and took off Fang Dong's military boots.First, acupuncture points were used to stop the bleeding, then he picked up the cotton cloak and tore off two strips of cloth, and simply bandaged Fang Dong.When I was young, I was often injured in fights. This is how my elder brother bandaged me, but my elder brother can't tap acupuncture points to stop bleeding.

After wrapping up the wound, he reached out and pulled Fang Dong's arms to his back.Look around, no rebels dare to come out in the forest.Naturally, I didn't have time to deal with them here, so I immediately jumped up the mountain.

The closer they got to the cottage, the louder the shouts and explosions became.Judging from the momentum, it should be when the fight is fierce.The drums of war have ceased, and the rebels may have already entered the stronghold.

A little anxious in my heart, I desperately urged my internal energy to rush towards the cottage.After a while, I finally saw the gate of the village that was burning with flames, and half of the gate of the village had collapsed.The rebel soldiers and our soldiers were mixed together and killed inextricably, and the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood was everywhere.

"Brother Fang, I will send you to hide in the Drum Tower, you have to be careful." I instructed, quickened my pace and leaped over the gate of the village, jumped up the Drum Tower, put Fang Dong under the army drum to hide, and then leaped towards the entrance of the cave past.

General Cheng led his soldiers to block the entrance of the cave to prevent the rebels from entering, but the rebels concentrated their forces and attacked the cave wave after wave.I guessed that there must be hidden those officials and eunuchs who came with the army.
