Nan Jiyun and his five or six soldiers searched back and forth in the depths of the bandits' lair many times, but they still didn't find a single bandit, not even food, grass and valuable items. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Strange, why are the bandits gone?"

Nan Jiyun reached out and touched the table, and found that the tabletop was spotless, that is, it has always been inhabited, and if it is an abandoned house, the table should be full of dust.

"The team is positive, there is no one in the grain depot, and there are traces of the grain being transported."

"The team is up, and there is no one in the house in the back."

"The team is right, and there is no one in the house on the left."

"Team, the kitchen has a pot of boiling water, and it's still hot? People must not have been gone for long. ”

Nan Jiyun was stunned: "Let's go, go and see." ”

Reaching out and trying the water in the big iron pot, Nan Jiyun quickly retracted his hand, the temperature of the water was very high and very hot.

"Team Zheng, the firewood in the stove below has not been burned, and what about the sparks?"

A soldier of the Pingnan Army picked up the ashes at the bottom of the pot with the weapon in his hand, and suddenly jumped up a large number of sparks.

The hot water and the ashes with the residual warmth are enough to prove that the bandits in this cottage were still here a few hours ago, and only left temporarily, and it seems that they left in a planned way, leaving behind no valuable goods and food.

Nan Jiyun frowned: "There is no one everywhere, but this pot of water has obviously just been boiled, where did these bandits go?" ”

"Team Zheng, my Pingnan Army raided the bandits' lair twice in a row at night, and wiped out a total of six bandits, these bandits must be scared."

"Captain, these cowardly bandits, fearing that they would lose their lives at night, all of them hid in the woods at night."

"Team, if these bandits really hide in the nearby woods, will they set up an ambush for us!"

Nan Jiyun smiled disdainfully: "Just with these rabble, it is impossible to set up an ambush for my Pingnan army, but it is indeed possible for them to hide because they are afraid, and four or five hundred bandits were publicly executed outside the gate of Luzhou City, which must be a huge deterrent to the remaining bandits." ”

"Team Zheng, what should I do now, will I go back and report to the general truthfully?"

Nan Jiyun looked at the bandits' lair, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, so immediately set fire to it and burn it down for me." ”

"Yes, team."

Nan Jiyun and several soldiers under his command used the embers under the kitchen stove to light several torches, and immediately split up and set fire to the entire bandits' lair.

The fire burned very quickly, and in a short time, huge flames burst into the bandits' lair several feet high, and gradually covered the entire lair in flames.

Watching the bandits' lair gradually turn to ashes, Nan Jiyun's face was full of proud smiles, paused, stretched out his hand, and led a dozen of his subordinates back to the Gourd Valley.

When there were still two hours before dawn, the three teams under the command of Nan Jiyun had already returned to Hulu Valley one after another, and after summarizing all the situation, Nan Jiyun reported to Li An.

Of course, Ang Lee hasn't gotten up yet, and he won't be able to report until two hours later, so as not to disturb Ang Lee's rest.

Fifty miles south of Luzhou City, he was napping in his house, although he slept for a while during the day yesterday, he was still a little sleepy.

However, he did not sleep well, and there was always a mess outside, and every now and then a procession arrived and caused a commotion.

The bandits are all rude people, and the discipline is very poor, it is impossible to expect them to stay quietly, thirsty and hungry along the way, and it is inevitable to hug and scold the mother.

"Owner of the village, our stockade was set on fire by the Pingnan army."

A bandit arrived on horseback and hurriedly reported.

"What, it was set on fire."

The leader of the bandits was both annoyed and glad, fortunately he led his men and horses to run to the invincible stockade in time, otherwise, what was waiting for them might be the butcher's knife of the Pingnan army.

"What about the grain? Grain, was it found by the Pingnan Army? ”

The bandit leader just got a little bit of money, and when he left, he hid the grain.

"The owner of the village can rest assured that the grain is still in the cave in the back mountain, and it has not been discovered by the Pingnan army."

"Grandma, why is the Pingnan Army so powerful, and it actually touched Lao Tzu's cottage so quickly, fortunately Lao Tzu ran fast, or there would be a life."

"Owner, our stockade has been burned, what can we do in the future?"

"Village master, it seems that we can only take refuge in the big ghost master in the future."

"Fart, we're going to rebuild the cottage."

"The cottage has been burned to ashes, how can it be rebuilt, it is better to take refuge in the big ghost master."

"You're a traitor."

A large group of people gathered around and made a loud noise, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"It's noisy, it's noisy, and I can't even sleep peacefully."

The invincible anger sprang up, jumped up from the couch in the house, and walked out of the door with round eyes.

"It's noisy, shut up Lao Tzu."

The invincible shouted violently, and the arguing crowd suddenly stopped.

"The Great Ghost Lord."

Several bandit leaders saluted Invincible with a respectful attitude.

The invincible anger subsided slightly, and looked at several bandit leaders: "It's all here!" What are you arguing about? You can't save some effort. ”

"The big ghost lord is angry, our stockade has just been burned by the Pingnan army, fortunately, the brothers evacuated in time, otherwise, there will be no one left, and they will definitely become the ghosts of the Pingnan army."

The invincible was shocked and touched his bare head: "In this way, the Pingnan Army took action again tonight. ”

"Big ghost master, the commander of the Pingnan Army once threatened to annihilate all the bandits in Luzhou within a few months... No, it's a copycat, it seems that this is true! ”

"Big ghost master, the Pingnan army is aggressive, we can't sit still, we must find a way to deal with them."

"Big ghost master, all the people in Luzhou have been assembled, and there are three or four thousand troops, when will you crusade against the Pingnan Army?"

Jian Wushu touched his head, and his eyes widened: "Order all the troops to set off now to crusade against the Pingnan Army." ”

"Big ghost master, the brothers in our village have just walked here, and they haven't had time to catch their breath yet, so don't be in such a hurry!"

"Big ghost master, people from all walks of life are sleepy and tired, so it's better to take a break, have a light meal, and then set off."

Fu Wushu waved his hand, and said, "Haven't you all heard of it?" The soldiers are fast, if you wait for your breath to even, the Pingnan army will be killed at our feet. ”

"The big ghost lord is right, the soldiers are fast, the soldiers are fast."

"Soldiers and nobles ...... quickly"

With a whining sound of scolding, a large number of bandits who had not yet breathed their breath hurried to the mountain road and rushed to the direction of Hulu Valley.

The bandits live in the mountains and forests all year round, and are very adapted to the mountains, although they are a little tired at the moment, but after all, they are bandits who kill people and sell goods, not pampered eldest ladies, and after being severely reprimanded, the speed of travel suddenly increases a lot.

At dawn, a bandit team of three or four thousand men arrived outside the east valley of the gourd valley and hid in the dense forest.

"Big ghost master, the city pass in front is the entrance of the gourd valley, there are fifty dragon warriors stationed there, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, this pass is not very easy."

"Big ghost master, we don't have siege weapons, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gnaw this bone."

The invincible eyes glared: "Siege the city, who said that the city is going to be attacked, we will ambush here, send a small force to provoke the officers and soldiers, as long as the officers and soldiers are introduced here, we will first fire ten thousand arrows, and then rush up, we will definitely be able to eliminate the officers and soldiers in the valley." ”

"The big ghost lord is clever, I admire it."

"The big ghost lord is wise, wise and mighty."

The two bandit leaders shouted compliments.

Jian Wuxuan looked at the two bandit leaders, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You two, take your subordinates, go to provoke outside the checkpoint, and lure out all the officers and soldiers." ”

"Big Ghost Lord, why me!"

"Big ghost master, there are only more than 100 brothers in my department, so I can't leave them all here."

In the face of the Pingnan Army, whose prestige has been erected, no one is willing to be cannon fodder.

Invincible's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he looked at more bandit leaders: "What do you mean?" ”

All the bandit leaders were afraid that they would be chosen, so they all gave their full support to the invincible and forced the two bandit leaders, who only had more than 100 people, to take the lead.

The two bandit leaders had no choice but to fight hard, leading a total of more than 300 men and horses to leave the woods and walk towards the checkpoint outside the east valley of the gourd valley.

At a position of fifty paces away from the range of the bow and arrow, the three hundred bandits did not dare to take a step forward anymore, and even trembled back, because they had already seen the soldiers of the Longwu army on the city pass bending their bows and arrows and aiming at them.

"If you have the ability to come out for a decisive battle, don't be a turtle with a shrunken head."

"Don't hide in the city, you have the ability to come down."

The bandits did not dare to rush forward, but their words were quite powerful.

There were only fifty soldiers and horses in the city pass, and one-third of them were still resting, so they naturally didn't dare to go out to challenge the more than 300 bandits.

They bent their bows and arrows to resist, and sent people back to the valley to report the situation.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Hulu Valley, Li An was listening to Nan Jiyun's report and praised Nan Jiyun's decisiveness.

"General, you weren't there at the time, I didn't see how enjoyable the bandits' lair was burned, it was so refreshing, as soon as the fire went down, a huge bandit's lair was wiped out in an instant, haha!"

Speaking of happiness, Nan Jiyun even laughed.

"Of the three bandits' nests, there is only an empty shell left, and the general is also very curious about what these murderous beasts are doing."

A confident smile appeared on the corner of Li An's mouth, no matter what the bandits were famous, he was not afraid.

"General, there is a group of bandits outside the East Valley who are calling for battle, and their arrogance is very arrogant."

A captain of the Longwu Military Academy hurriedly came to report.

"The bandits actually dared to come and challenge him and kill him."

"This gang of bandits must be crazy, and this gang is too bold to dare to provoke officers and soldiers."

"General, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and destroy this gang of arrogant bandits."

All the generals and colonels in the big tent were very angry, and the bandits dared to run to call for battle, that is, they were slapping them in the face, how could they tolerate it.

"How many people are there in the bandits?"

Li An asked lightly.

"Back to the general, there are more than 300 bandits, but there is a small forest not far from the East Valley, and there may be an ambush inside."

Li An smiled, looked at the generals, and said softly: "The first cavalry team failed to participate in the two encirclement and suppression of the bandits' lair, and now that the opportunity has come, it is time for the cavalry team to make a move." ”

"General, our reconnaissance team also wants to participate in this operation, and it would be good to help the cavalry!"

Nan Jiyun was addicted to meritorious service, and eagerly asked for help.

Li An smiled and ordered: "The cavalry team and the reconnaissance first team, and the second team will immediately assemble in the East Valley, be quick." ”

"Yes, General."

The general received the order and immediately went to give the order.

Li An stood up and walked towards Donggu with the generals.

At this time, the East Valley was thriving, in addition to hundreds of soldiers of the baggage regiment and part of the Longwu army stationed here, gold miners and a large number of recruited craftsmen also lived here.

The area of the East Valley is much smaller than that of the Middle Valley, but the number of people has reached half of the Middle Valley, and the density of people is larger, so it naturally looks more lively.

Li An directly led everyone to the workshop where the bow and crossbow were made, preparing to let the generals take a look at the newly made Zhuge Repeater in the workshop.

"General, Zhuge even has crossbows here, there are more than 500 of them, and there are 100,000 eight-inch long crossbow arrows."

A craftsman in charge of management, reporting to Ang Lee.

Li An nodded with great satisfaction: "It's a very good job, the workmanship is very good, and the speed is fast enough, continue to work hard." ”

"General Xie, we will definitely work harder."

"General, the reconnaissance team and the cavalry team have been assembled in the East Valley."

Nan Jiyun strode over and reported the situation to Li An.

Li An pointed to the Zhuge repeater next to him, and said: "Let all the soldiers of the reconnaissance team equip each with a Zhuge repeater and prepare a hundred arrows, and after receiving the equipment, try it here first." ”

"Yes, General."

Nan Jiyun took more than 100 soldiers of the reconnaissance team, and according to Li An's requirements, he received Zhuge repeaters and 100 crossbow arrows, and according to the guidance of craftsmen, he practiced adaptability at a shooting range in Donggu.

"General, the Zhuge Repeater can shoot continuously, a team of a hundred people can shoot the momentum of a thousand people, with this sharp weapon, it is easy to eliminate bandits."

Nan Jiyun said excitedly.

Li An saw that the soldiers of the reconnaissance team already knew how to use the Zhuge crossbow, and took out the topographic map near the gourd valley from his arms, and ordered: "Nanjiyun, this is the only way for the bandits to retreat, you immediately lead all the soldiers of the reconnaissance team to go out from the West Valley and set up an ambush here, not to annihilate, to hit hard, only to release arrows, not to pursue." ”

"General, since the bandits have all been sent to the door, what are we polite, it is better to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Nan Jiyun clenched his fists.

"Just obey the order, go quickly."

"Yes, General."

Nan Jiyun received the order and led more than 100 reconnaissance team soldiers to make a detour to the West Valley and march towards the predetermined ambush place.

Subsequently, Li An ordered that all the 110 soldiers of the cavalry team should be immediately reequipped with Zhuge repeaters, and let them immediately undergo adaptation training.

"General, cavalry soldiers, have learned to use the Zhuge Repeater." (To be continued.) )
