Chapter 821: Carelessness
Youyu County is a county under the jurisdiction of Datong Mansion in Shanxi, surrounded by mountains, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, the south is the Hongtao Mountains, the west and the north are the extension of the Yinshan Mountains, the average altitude of the county is 1,400 meters, the highest point is nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, and the lowest place is to kill Hukou, the altitude is about 1,200 meters.
The Cangtou River runs through the county from south to north, and flows into the Yellow River through the lowest altitude of the Hukou Mouth, so the open river valley formed by the Cangtou River at the Killing Hukou has become a traffic point from south to north, so if the Tatar army wants to move south, it usually chooses to kill Hukou as a breakthrough point.
Youyu County belongs to the landform of the Loess Plateau, the vegetation is sparse, the wind and sand are big in winter and spring, but the area near the Cangtou River is emerald and green, the grass and trees are luxuriant, like a green jade belt runs through the north and south, stretching for more than 100 miles.
It is July now, late summer and early autumn, the Loess Plateau is still hot, with distant mountains and hills, dotted with greenery. When there is no wind and sand, the scenery on the Loess Plateau is still quite attractive, the sky overhead is blue like washing, like cotton wool-like floating clouds fusion and change, as if within reach, making people feel refreshed.
In the early morning, two fast horses galloped on the winding official road on the bank of the Cangtou River, beside which was a thick and lush sweet potato, and the horse's hooves knocked on the ground, shaking the dew on the sweet potato leaves into the dust.
The two knights on the horse were very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with strong physiques, and both were born with tiger heads, wearing coarse cloth coats, with their arms exposed, and their biceps muscles were high and powerful, and both of them were wrapped in the usual white sheepskin belly handkerchiefs of the locals, so at first glance they looked like local people.
At this time, the two young knights rode their horses to a gentle river bay, and at the same time turned over and dismounted in a very tacit understanding, apparently intending to rest and drink their horses here. Both horses were well-trained war horses, and they ran to the river to drink water without being led, and then leisurely nibbled on the grass on the riverside.
The two young knights found a shade of a tree and sat down to drink water and eat dry food, one of them took out a map from his bag and spread it out on his lap, while nibbling on the pancakes, he examined it carefully, and suddenly pointed to a certain place on the map and said: "Fourth Brother Xie, five or six miles to the northwest should be Heitai Mountain, we are almost there." ”
Fourth Brother Xie next to him is tall, close to two meters tall, born with a tiger's head, but a pair of dark eyes are extraordinarily smart, this person is not someone else, it is his brother-in-law Xie Sangun, and the one looking at the map is the gold medal scout Pi Eleven of the Shenji Battalion.
Xie Sangun leaned over and glanced at the map, and said decisively: "Later, let's leave the horse in the forest here and walk over." ”
It is said that Xie Sangun and Pi Shiyi appeared in Youyu County, Shanxi Province at this time, and naturally took over the secret mission assigned by Xu Jin, and they had made sufficient preparations before they came, so they knew that this gang of horse thieves on Heitai Mountain was not easy to mess with, and even the Tatars were terrified, so in order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, the two decided to walk to Heitai Mountain.
Just when Xie Sangun and Pi Shiyi were full of food and drink and ready to act, they suddenly saw dust flying in the northwest, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, Xie San flexibly climbed the tree next to him, set up a pergola to observe the dust for a while, jumped down and said in a deep voice: "At least thirty horses, maybe forty horses, it should be coming this way, let's avoid it for a while." ”
Xie Sanshu and Pi Shiyi led their mounts and quickly escaped into a nearby wood, and soon, a rolling yellow dragon rushed straight to this side, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was already faintly audible.
As Xie Sangun guessed, there were about forty horsemen in this horse team, and the knights on the horses were all wearing black clothes and black trousers, covering their faces with black scarves, only revealing a pair of intimidating eyes, and the momentum was very strong, and the knight in front of him was slim and seemed to be a young woman.
The team of horses galloped past the woods where Xie Sangun and Pi Eleven were hiding, and soon disappeared into the transformation of a hill in the distance, and the knights were quite good at riding.
Pi Shiyi couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Could this group of people be the horse thieves of Heitai Mountain?" ”
Xie Sangun's eyes were like lightning staring at the Biao Hummer team that appeared in the hills in the distance, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Look at this outfit, plus it appeared near Heitai Mountain, it is estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten." ”
Pi Shiyi licked his lips and said with a little excitement: "The slender woman in front of her should be the legendary Third Lady, right?" So are we going to continue to touch Heitai Mountain now, or are we secretly following them? ”
"Follow!" Xie Sangun said decisively, the task given to them by Xu Jin this time was to confirm the identity of the three ladies, and it seemed that this group of horse thieves was now estimated to go out to do business, just to secretly observe how their combat power was.
At that moment, Xie Sangun and Pi Shiyi led the horses and followed the hooves unhurriedly.
As the saying goes, no coincidence is not a book, the horse team that Xie Sangun and Pi Shiyi met is indeed the people and horses of Heitai Cottage, and at this moment, the big boss Xue Bingxin is personally leading the team to the junction of Youyu County and Zuoyun County to do a deal, and the target is a rich businessman.
It is said that this businessman named Fu Buren is one of the largest families in Zuoyun County, and he has business dealings with the Tatars in private. A few days ago, Heitaishan received the exact news from Eyeliner, saying that this tea merchant had a batch of goods that would be smuggled out of the country and sold to the Tatars, so Xue Bingxin decided to snatch this batch of goods and was on her way at the moment.
Let's say that Xue Bingxin led the horse team to gallop for about half an hour, and finally arrived at the junction of Youyu County and Zuoyun County, and waited in ambush in the dense forest next to the road. According to the information obtained by the eyeliner, the goods smuggled by the merchant will pass through here and then be smuggled out of the nearby Great Wall Pass.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sun was in the middle of the sky to the west again, but the so-called caravan had not yet appeared, and all the horse thieves in Heitai Mountain were so hot that they were sweating profusely, and they couldn't squat a little. Zhao Hu, the third master, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, frowned and asked, "Xue Liang, is the news you got reliable?" Don't let the brothers work in vain. ”
Xue Liang is about thirty years old, with a terrible scar on his face, this person was originally a horse thief in Taihang Mountain, and he only recently took refuge in Heitai Mountain, and his martial arts are quite good.
Originally, Xue Bingxin would not easily recruit other peers, but at the beginning of spring this year, I answered and Zhao Quan ran to make trouble once, and Xue Bingxin felt the weakness of her strength, so she began to recruit her peers in the surrounding area recently, but Xue Bingxin is not a bad person, she only accepts the good reviews of the rivers and lakes, and does not kill innocent green forest heroes.
This Xue Liang has a good reputation in the circle, and he is strong in martial arts, and he came to take refuge with dozens of brothers, so Xue Bingxin took him in, and now Xue Liang is the fourth leader of Heitai Mountain.
"Don't worry, that eyeliner is called Zhou Kun, and he has a fateful friendship with Lao Tzu, and the news is absolutely reliable." Xue Liang swore authentically.
However, after waiting for another half an hour, the target had not yet appeared, Xue Bingxin was also hot and sweaty at this time, and looked at Xue Liang suspiciously, the latter was obviously a little anxious, and muttered: "Strange, it shouldn't be answered, is something wrong?" ”
At this moment, a horse thief in charge of watching the wind on the tall tree suddenly let out a birdsong and made a gesture, and the horse thieves couldn't help but lift their spirits, and the fat sheep finally came.
Sure enough, a moment later, I saw a caravan appear on the official road, with horses and donkeys, as many as twelve carts of goods, and about 30 escorts in charge of escorting.
"Look, I didn't lie to you, the fat sheep is finally here!" Xue Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said triumphantly.
Xue Bingxin put the masked black scarf back on, made a gesture, and the horse thieves wore masks one after another, then took out the bell and hung it around the horse's neck, picked up the weapon and turned over on the horse, and followed Xue Bingxin to ride the horse out of the woods with murderous energy.
Jingle Bell......
The sound of horses' hooves accompanied by the sound of bells shook the four fields, and the guards of the caravan shouted when they saw this, and they left twelve cartloads of goods and fled decisively, without the slightest nostalgia.
"Haha, what a fucking bunch of cowards, but they're pretty fast!" Lei Jun, the second master, laughed proudly, took the lead in riding his horse to a donkey cart, and with a wave of his knife, he cut the rope that bound the goods, and lifted the piece of tarpaulin that covered it.
"Grass, this ...... What's that? When Lei Jun saw a large pile of hay under the tarpaulin, he was dumbfounded.
Xue Bingxin's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly opened a box on another car, only to find that it was all filled with stones.
"It's not good, we've fallen for it, it's a trap, retreat!" Xue Bingxin screamed sharply, turned his horse's head and wanted to leave.
It's a pity that everything was late, only a rapid drum beat was heard, and an officer and soldier suddenly killed out of the col in front of the official road, but seeing the banner waving, swords and guns were everywhere, it was estimated that there were nearly 500 people, and then a well-groomed officer and soldier army was also killed in the rear, also nearly 500 people.
When the horse thieves were panicking, shouts of killing were also heard from the hills on both sides, and some officers and soldiers rushed out from behind them like a tide, and they actually wrapped Xue Bingxin and others with dumplings.
"Xue Liang, you anti-bone boy who eats inside and out, actually colluded with the officers and soldiers to plot against us!" Zhao Hu, the third master, was furious, staring at Xue Liang with cracked eyes, and the more than ten pounds of Pu knife in his hand was put on the latter's shoulder.
Xue Liang's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Zhao Hu, let your mother's bullshit, Lao Tzu is also yin, okay, big boss, you have to believe me, Lao Tzu really didn't betray everyone." ”
Xue Bingxin said lightly: "Break through first, and then talk about the rest!" After speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards the officers and soldiers in the rear, and with a flash of the sword in his hand, an officer and soldier were cut off from the horse.
Zhao Hu stupidly put away his knife and rushed behind Xue Bingxin.
"Kill!"
The horse thieves were all bandits licking blood from the knife edge, and after a short panic, they calmed down, and with Xue Bingxin, Lei Jun, Zhao Hu, and Xue Liang as their arrows, they fiercely rushed towards the officers and soldiers in the rear.
