Volume 1 A Hundred Battles Yellow Sand Wears Gold Armor Chapter 14 Going north to Longxi again
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Junlin took nineteen scouts and Wu San and Wu Si out of the camp on horseback, each of them was a man with two horses, and it was a high-grade war horse, and soon twenty-two people left the camp and disappeared into the mountain road to Longxi City.
And just half an hour after they left, another 10,000 troops came out of the camp and slaughtered the old lair of the Godao tribe, and they were ordered by Yukura to exterminate the Godot tribe.
At the same time, the golden-silk Daoist priest sitting on the hillside east of the camp suddenly opened his eyes, got up and looked up at the northwest direction, his eyes flashed with cold light, and said to himself: "God help me, this kid has finally left the camp." ”
……
Three days later, on a low mountain, Wang Junlin looked at Longxi City, five miles to the northwest, wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked up at the hot sun, and said to everyone: "Find a shady place, eat something and rest!" ”
Spirited, they went into the woods beside them, and soon they found a small stream, which was dense enough to hide and, if lucky, could find wild food.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the forest, Wang Junlin's expression froze, and he suddenly stopped, and with a wave of his right hand, the others also stopped immediately, and everyone opened their bows and arrows, and their eyes were like lightning to look around, and they did not make the slightest sound. This is already deep behind enemy lines, and there must be scouts patrolling the Gedao and Turks, and they must always be on high alert, otherwise they may be hit by cold arrows or ambushed at any time.
Wang Junlin bent his bow and arrows, staring at a bush, and he guessed that it might be the sound of a wild boar or a badger, or a blind bear.
Suddenly, the bush moved, revealing a swarthy object with pointed hairs standing on end...... It's a wild boar!
When everyone saw this, they were overjoyed, thinking that dinner had been settled, and although wild boar meat was not as tender as yellow mutton and hares, it still tasted good.
With a buzz, the arrow in Wang Junlin's hand flew out and hit the back of the wild boar, 'Boom! There was a muffled sound, and the strong force failed to shoot through the boar's skin, and the arrow was bounced out.
But the pain of this arrow annoyed the boar, and the boar generally does not attack people, but if people attack it first, it will go berserk and retaliate. I heard the beast let out a terrible howl, bared its long fangs, and rushed madly towards the king like a calf.
Wang Junlin was less than ten steps away from the wild boar, and the wild boar was extremely fast, but it was too late to shoot the second arrow, not to mention that the wild boar had rough skin and thick meat, and the killing of the arrow was limited, Wang Junlin simply dropped the bow and arrow, and the war knife at his waist was unsheathed, and at the moment when the wild boar rushed to his side, he jumped up with a loud shout, and at the same time dodged the wild boar, he slashed at the boar's head.
Only to hear the wild boar's earth-shattering scream, its pig face along the right eye and nose was split out of a deep blood groove, the fangs were also split off, Wang Junlin secretly sighed the defense of the wild boar skin, in the wild boar frantically turned its head to attack again, he held the knife with both hands and shouted again, a knife cut at the neck of the wild boar, this time Wang Junlin used all his strength, into the knife is very deep, the wild boar's neck was almost cut off, the blood flowed like a note, the wild boar let out the last earth-shattering scream, and fell to the ground.
Wang Junlin killed a crazy adult wild boar so cleanly and neatly, so that the nineteen scouts were all frightened, you must know that the crazy adult wild boar, even tigers and leopards, have to retreat. This is also Wang Junlin's intention to show his strength in front of everyone.
It's just that the expected effect was achieved for the nineteen subordinates, but Wu San and Wu Si sent by the Dugu family were indifferent. Wang Junlin has been guessing the strength of these two people along the way, but he didn't have a chance to let them make a move, but he could only knock on the side, coupled with the reaction of the two at this time, Wang Junlin faintly felt that the strength of these two people might be even more powerful than his own resemblance.
Without waiting for Wang Junlin's orders, two subordinates came over and carried the wild boar to the creek to disembowel, Wang Junlin's breathing was already steady, wiped his sweat, and said, "Go and find a cave." ”
Ignition is a taboo for scouts behind enemy lines, as the black smoke is easy to spot, but experienced scouts will light fires in caves to grill game, so that the black smoke will not easily leak out and will not be detected. These scouts understood this truth, and Wang Junlin, who was familiar with jungle warfare, also knew it.
Soon the boar was washed and skinned, and another scout found a cave.
It is said to be a cave, but in fact it is just a huge rock crevice between the mountains, which is dark and swarthy, looks very deep, and has a special smell.
Before coming to the cave, Wang Junlin's face suddenly changed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, everyone immediately stopped.
"Fire chief, there aren't any beasts in there, I've checked it." Su Changqing, who found the cave, said in a low voice.
Wang Junlin shook his head and inhaled sharply, the smell became stronger.
"This is a snake cave, and if I'm not mistaken, there are a lot of poisonous snakes hidden in the cave."
When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly, and most of their faces were in disbelief.
Zhou Hu said unceremoniously: "Why does the fire chief recognize ...... like this?"
"Ahh Snake! Without waiting for Zhou Hu to finish speaking, suddenly Li Xiang exclaimed, the war knife on his waist came out of his body, and split out to the bush on the right, and everyone could see clearly, a gray-white poisonous snake was cut into two knots and writhed on the ground.
Everyone was taken aback, and soon several poisonous snakes were discovered. This time, the nineteen soldiers looked at Wang Junlin again, and their expressions of admiration were even stronger, and even Wu San and Wu Si's eyes when they looked at Wang Junlin also changed, thinking that this kid was really not simple.
Leaving the snake cave, they found a safe cave nearby, leaving two people to climb the big tree three hundred steps before the cave to guard, and the others fed the war horse water and bean feed, and then went into the cave to rest.
Wang Junlin personally barbecued the meat, not long after, in the cave, the wild boar meat that was divided into four parts had been roasted, roasted to golden and fragrant, Wang Junlin took out his own seasoning made of a plant from the backpack, mixed it with the salt powder, sprinkled on it, a faint fragrance wafted out, causing everyone to swallow saliva constantly, Zhou Hu quickly cut a few pieces with a knife, and everyone squatted on the ground and chewed it, the first to eat the two people who had to go to change the two people who were on guard outside.
"Presumably, you have been wondering why the Grand Governor personally summoned me, and guessed the identities of Wu San and Wu Si, why did the two of them follow us?" Wang Junlin's gaze swept over everyone and said suddenly.
When the others heard this, they looked up at Wang Junlin and did not speak, but the meaning in their expressions was very clear, they had indeed been wondering about this matter.
"Because, the real task of the Metropolitan Governor for our trip is to rescue Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, from Longxi City." Wang Junlin said suddenly.
Zhou Hu, Li Xiang, Su Changqing and others were taken aback, and Zhou Hu even said: "With our manpower, how can we rescue Dugu Chief?" ”
Wang Junlin snorted coldly and said, "Nothing is impossible. We are only saving people, and we are not fighting head-on with the Turks and the army of the Gedao Division. The Metropolitan Governor promised that if the trip was successful, I would be promoted by two ranks, and those who participated would be promoted by one rank. The Dugu family is even more grateful. ”
The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, when everyone heard it, their eyes suddenly lit up, and some hearts moved.
"However, this trip is indeed a life of death, so if any of you are afraid of it, you can quit, I will not force it. They will not report you as deserters in accordance with military discipline. Decide for yourselves! ”
Everyone looked at each other a few times, and no one said they quit, of course, because of what Wang Junlin said, and no one would believe that Wang Junlin would really not be held accountable, you must know that although the Great Sui attaches great importance to military merits, the punishment for deserters who do not obey the orders of their superiors is also extremely heavy. Of course, this is also related to the fact that they themselves are the elite of the elite soldiers, the best of the elite, and each of these nineteen people is equivalent to the king of soldiers in the army of later generations. The so-called artists are bold, and they are talking about them.
"Very good, since no one has withdrawn, then I will talk about the plan, and everyone will refer to it together."
After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "I decided to sneak into Longxi City, but before doing this, I naturally have to make careful preparations. The things I asked for before I came to the Captain were actually for the purpose of entering the city. We need to do three things, first, first change into the clothes of the Qiang people, and then put on makeup, and this matter will be handed over to me and Jiang Muchang. Second, if we find the nest of poisonous snakes earlier, we will also collect the venom from the teeth of all the poisonous snakes, and it may be of great use when we enter the city. Thirdly, when everything is in order, we will destroy the bandits on the western hills, and they and their families will become our prisoners. In addition......"
……
"His Royal Highness the Great Dharma King, another group of Qiang people has come to take refuge, and our power is getting bigger and bigger, and this is all the envoys sent to other Qiang tribes who have played a role." At the head of Longxi City, the head of the Gedao tribe, Mi Baoqi, glanced outside the city, and said to King Boduofa next to him with a flattering face. There was a team of twenty-two Qiang warriors and more than a dozen Han captives walking towards the gate of Longxi City.
"Hmph, it's not that your envoy works, but because the strength of our Western Turks has made them see the confidence to defeat the Sui Dynasty, that's why they took refuge in me." The leader of the three thousand Turkic cavalry squinted at Mi Baoqi and said sarcastically.
King Bodo glanced at the group of Qiang warriors who came to take refuge, and said with a holy face: "All obedience and submission except for the light of the Heavenly Venerable Venerable King depend on strength, and the vulture is right, these people are indeed taking refuge because we have the strength to defeat the Sui Dynasty. ”
The vultures suddenly looked proud, while Mi Zhuo Qi looked panicked, knelt at the feet of King Balta, put his forehead on the ground, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Great King of Porta, your servant Mi Tuo Qi has not mastered the truth enough, and he still needs more light from the Heavenly Venerable Venerable Venerable. ”
