In the woods across the swamp lake, a group of filthy people watched the bandits retreat.

"They ran, haha, these idiots, ran for nothing, ran away in a gray way. Fortunately, Lord Lin planned properly, otherwise we would have been outflanked by them. It's a bit thrilling to think about. One of the cavalry captains laughed.

Everyone laughed, but several cavalrymen hung their heads, ashamed.

These people are the same soldiers who couldn't stand the mosquitoes and thirst last night and rashly lit a fire. They lit a fire, and thought they were unaware. It wasn't until Lin Jue led people to rush to the fire and scolded them sharply that they realized that they had made a serious mistake.

Lin Jue was very annoyed at that time, he had already strictly ordered not to light a fire, so as not to expose the hiding place. But the soldiers did it anyway. He is not a general who leads the army, and he does not have the power to punish them, otherwise Lin Jue will definitely deal with them heavily. Even in the Funiu Mountains, although the Luoyan Army was nominally bandits, their discipline was much stricter than that of these regular officers and soldiers. After the Luoyan Army passed down the order, no one dared to disobey it.

The cavalry were divided in their opinion, believing that they should not be discovered by the bandits because they had made a fire. Lin Jue was speechless at this kind of remark. Luck psychology is a taboo in the army, although Lin Jue likes to do some risky things, but every time he takes risks, his plans for every adventure are actually seriously thought out and prepared. Risks can be taken, but there must be a way to deal with them. Even if this solution may not work, it must be planned and dealt with.

Lin Jue would never act by chance. Luck is like gambling, and everything is left to luck. In this matter at the moment, although Lin Jue was not sure that this bonfire would expose the target, he would definitely not hold on to the past with a fluke mentality. If you lose the bet, you will die here, and you can't take it lightly.

Therefore, Lin Jue made a decision that made the uncertain outcome a certainty. Since it is not known whether this campfire will be discovered by the bandits, it is impossible to predict whether the danger will come. So, why not build a few more bonfires, so that the probability of being discovered by the bandits becomes 100%, and then there will be no more luck. Because the other party will definitely come, the result goes from uncertainty to extreme certainty.

After Lin Jue gave the order to light a bonfire to boil water to repel mosquitoes, all the cavalry thought that Lin Jue was deliberately saying the opposite because he was angry. But when Lin Jue personally lit a bonfire and boiled the water, everyone realized that Lord Lin really wanted to do this. Everyone was full of suspicions, and they didn't know what Lord Lin meant. Someone reminded Lin Jue in a low voice, in this way, I am afraid that I have to transfer quickly, otherwise I will be besieged and killed by the bandits.

Lin Juecai smiled and said: "Of course they will come, even if they don't come, we have to transfer." From the time the brothers lit the first bonfire, it was unsafe. Instead of this, it is better to simply light a bonfire to boil water and drink to your heart's content, and it can also dispel mosquitoes and insects, which is more comfortable. Everyone should hurry up and light a fire to boil water, and both men and horses should drink to their heart's content. We'll have to work in a minute. ”

"Work? Isn't it a good night's sleep? Even if you leave here, you won't have to wait until dawn. It is impossible for the bandits to surround and kill in the dark, and they must wait for dawn in this terrain. Someone asked puzzled.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Since you know that they are coming, how can you not entertain them well?" Could it be that we just walked away? And don't leave them a mark? That's my Lin Jue's style. Give you half an hour to drink water and rest, and then everyone will start to work. ”

In this way, everyone unscrupulously lit more than a dozen bonfires, which was also the scene that Meng Xiang saw when he checked it after receiving the report. It was also the direct reason why Meng Xiang determined that Lin Jue and the others were hiding there. After drinking enough boiling water to quench their thirst, Lin Jue and the others began to dig pits around the clearing according to Lin Jue's instructions.

The ground of the willow forest is loose sand and mud, which is why the willow cannot grow tall and thick. The sand beneath the ground is not hard and it is not difficult to excavate. Everyone sweated like rain, and finally dug a dozen pits around the clearing. Sharpened wooden thorns are inserted underneath, covered with floating mud at the top, and camouflaged with a thin willow trunk cut down.

With all this done, the sky is almost dawn. The exhausted crowd didn't have time to catch their breath, so they were asked by Lin Jue to move immediately while the morning mist had not cleared. The journey through the mire lake is thrilling. In order to ensure the safety of people, war horses had to be sacrificed. He drove a war horse to explore the way ahead, and when the horse sank, he changed to another one and went around from the side. One of them encountered a deep swamp area, which could not be detoured. Lin Jue actually ordered to drive more than a dozen war horses into the quagmire, and forcibly filled the road with horse corpses. More than fifty horses were lost in the process of crossing the quagmire lake hundreds of paces wide. Didn't hurt the cavalry to death. The cavalrymen love their horses like relatives, but at this moment they have to do so.

Lin Jue was the last to leave the fine willow woodland, he left a few war horses as bait, and at the same time wrote a limerick poem to humiliate Meng Xiang. When everyone had successfully moved to the woods on the other side of the lake, they were finally able to sleep peacefully. At noon, when a large number of bandits rushed into the fine willow forest with a shout, many cavalrymen who had thought that Lin Jue was tormenting people before really enjoyed the pleasure of being crushed by their intelligence. Across a swamp, watching each other scurrying in the willow forest, imagining the tragic situation of them falling into the pit, not to mention how happy they were. The exhaustion of the whole body was also swept away, and the admiration for Lord Lin was uncontrollable. It's so fucking cool to fight with Lord Lin.

Look at the bandits

They withdrew one after another, Lin Jue frowned and thought for a moment, and immediately summoned everyone to discuss.

"Brothers, the bandits have withdrawn, what do you think about this?"

"Lord Lin is clever and scheming. If the bandits entangle us again, Lord Lin will take us to slowly eat them away. Hahaha. The crowd shouted.

Lin Jue frowned and said: "I don't like people to make sycophants, it's not a glorious thing for us to be forced to hide here now." I don't have the ability to eat them all away. Don't say anything like that. What I ask is, what do you think of their retreat? ”

"Lord Lin, they should know the difficulty and retreat." Someone said.

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Those traps didn't hurt many of them, they just gave them a small blow. If they want to continue their pursuit of us, they can go on. After all, there are a lot of them. I think they retreated for some other reason. ”

"What does Lord Lin think is the reason?" The crowd asked.

"Did you see the three fireworks on the sand dunes of Dongshan before? Prior to this, the bandits continued to encircle and suppress us. But as soon as the fireworks went up, they retreated. I suspect something happened from the outside. I thought about it, I am afraid that it will be when our reinforcements arrive, they will resolutely give up the siege and decide to withdraw their troops. If they don't evacuate quickly, they will be lost in this dune swamp after Chidao is occupied by our forbidden army. That's probably why they withdrew immediately. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"What Lord Lin said makes sense, you can see the situation under the city from the sand dunes. It must have been their sentry that saw that something was wrong, so they sent a signal for the bandit brigade to withdraw. Someone nodded in approval.

"It won't be so soon. Fengqiu is hundreds of miles away, so I won't arrive so soon. Someone wondered.

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, today is the third day. It may not be possible for the infantry to arrive, but if the cavalry were to be in the starry night, I would not be surprised at all. ”

"If it's cavalry, it's only seven hundred. What does that do? At most, it's just to strengthen the defense of the city. I'm afraid that it will not be possible to launch a counteroffensive against the bandits. Someone muttered.

Lin Jue smiled: "Don't forget that there are brothers in the city. The miscellaneous and miscellaneous add up to 1,500 people. Then mobilize the young and strong in the city, and there are more than 1,000 people. With 2,500 infantry and 700 cavalry, do you think you can't attack the bandits who are now like lost dogs? Our 300 cavalry have taught these bandits to be exhausted, are you still so unconfident? ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded and said, "If you say that, you definitely have the power to fight." The bandits are now demoralized, and although there are quite a few of them, they are just a rabble. Could it be that the cavalry really arrived, and Wei Dutou and Zhao County ordered them to communicate with the cavalry to counterattack? ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "I guess it must be so." If nothing else, do they allow us to be trapped here, strangled by the bandits? In the past, they had the heavy responsibility of defending the city, and with the lack of manpower, they may not be able to act rashly. But the cavalry arrived, and the army arrived, and I don't think Wei Dutou and Lin Xian Ling would sit idly by and watch us. And I estimate that Du Yuhou arrived in person, Yangwu was attacked, and it was impossible for Du Yuhou to follow the infantry behind, I estimated that he must have personally led the cavalry to come. It's even more impossible for him not to come to my rescue, and you know what my relationship with Du Yuhou is. ”

How could anyone not know that Lord Lin was Du Yuhou's brother-in-law. According to Lord Lin's analysis, there are indeed eight or nine points of certainty. Du Yuhou led the cavalry to Yangwu and would organize a counterattack as soon as possible. Not to mention how many bandits have been exterminated by counterattacking, at least he has to rescue his brother-in-law. Du Yuhou has always acted in a careless manner, and he doesn't care whether the number of soldiers and horses can match the opponent's. Even if he didn't have any soldiers and horses in the city, he might have attacked with only 700 cavalry.

"Lord Lin, won't we be saved soon. The bandits probably didn't dare to stay too long, did they dare to drag until our brigade arrived? As soon as the cavalry arrived, they should have realized that reinforcements were coming, and they should have withdrawn quickly. Someone rejoiced.

"yes, we can finally get out of here, we don't want to come back to this place for the rest of our lives. I hope that Du Yu Hou can drive out the bandits as soon as possible, so that we can get out of the sea of suffering. Everyone raised their hands in celebration, and the atmosphere was cheerful.

Lin Jue frowned and looked unhappy. "Ladies and gentlemen, are you just waiting here for the bandits to retreat and then be rescued?"

Everyone was stunned, Lord Lin had something to say, could it be that Lord Lin had any ideas?

"If Lord Lin has any thoughts, just tell the brothers directly." Everyone said.

Lin Jue said: "Waiting for rescue? I can't afford to lose that person. Let the bandits escape? That's a move that will cause endless trouble. After these 10,000 bandits retreat from the area around the city, they will still be our opponents in the future. Many of them will have a huge improvement after this battle. The next time we meet, it will be even more difficult to deal with. The evil is all gone, and the opportunity is rare. We are here to quell the rebellion, to clear the tumor of the Qingjiao, but we are not just to defend Yangwu and defeat the bandits. They come and go when they want, and they go when they want? I'm afraid it's not that easy. So my idea was that we had to block their back so that they couldn't retreat and trap them in the Bolangsa area. Annihilate these bandits once and for all. ”

"What?" The boss with everyone's mouths wide open can see the little meat in their throats. Lord Lin is afraid that he is not crazy. Intercept the back road of the bandits? Just rely on yourself to be such a person? Lord Lin is not inflated? Although he won the battle and teased the opponent wanted to die, he would not dare to boast of such a Haikou.

"I know what you guys think. You must think I'm in the water, I'm crazy. But don't forget what kind of place this is. This is Bolangsa. There is only one gallop road in the east-west passage, and the sand dunes are full of thorns and swamps, and this kind of terrain is not easy to use with many people. As long as the eastern exit is blocked, the bandits are rats in bellows, and there is nowhere to escape. At that time, Zhang Liang was on this gallop and attacked the Qin Emperor's car with the iron cone, which can be called a brave man. At first there were only a few of them, and now we have two hundred. These bandits can't be compared with the Qin Emperor's army guards, they are just a rabble, the ancients dared to do it, why don't we dare? Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"But......" Everyone was dumbfounded and wanted to refute, but it didn't seem to be as righteous and awe-inspiring as Lord Lin said, and it seemed that they couldn't refute his words.

"You don't need to worry too much, and I'm not joking with your lives. If you can do it, you can't do it or force it, but at least you have to give it a try. We can now set out to the east, find vantage points, and set up checkpoints on the trail. Anything is possible with the right terrain. There is a saying that 'one husband is closed'. As long as there is a suitable place to defend, the two hundred of us can block the gallop and make them retreat. Brothers, what are you here for? It's good to say that you are loyal to the court, but that's righteousness. I think let's be more straightforward, since we are here to fight, of course we must be rewarded for meritorious service, be added to the rank of knight, and be famous all over the world. You just have to think about it, if we do it, you will not be able to run away from a single fame and wealth, and you will be famous in the army and admired by everyone. Of course, I don't force you, you are willing to fight with me, and I naturally admire and welcome you. If you don't want to, you can stay here and wait for help. After all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I can't guarantee that you'll survive if you follow me. It's up to you. Personally, I have to do it, and it's up to you to decide whether you want to do it or not. ”

Lin Jue stood up as he spoke, and began to straighten his armor and put on a long knife. Bai Bing also silently adjusted his armor beside him, and walked over to start unreining the horse.

The cavalry looked at each other, and they were indeed very conflicted in their hearts. This thing is incredible, but what Lord Lin said is indeed very tempting. If you can do what Lin Da said, it will be really a great success, and you can't do it if you don't want to. However, the risk is a bit high, and if you don't do it well, you will lose your life, which is really a dilemma.

"The villain is willing to go with Lord Lin. How much is the villain's life worth? Lord Lin's life is so precious that I am not afraid, I am afraid of a bird. I don't want to be a soldier for the rest of my life, I joined the army to get promoted and make a fortune and glorify my ancestors, otherwise why would I come to be a soldier? One of the soldiers stood up and said in a loud voice.

"The villain is also willing to go with Lord Lin. Lord Lin has such courage as a scholar, aren't those of us who serve as soldiers just to defend the country and kill the enemy? How can you be as timid as a mouse? I can't afford to lose that man. Another soldier also shouted to his feet.

The words of these two men are extremely inflammatory, or rather morally kidnapped. Moreover, the otherwise hesitant crowd needs someone to stand up and take the lead. As soon as the two of them appeared, the hesitant cavalry was immediately firm.

"I went too, and I lost a bowl and a big scar on my head. Afraid of a bird. ”

"That is, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger. Besides, following Lord Lin, what are we afraid of? Lord Lin's resourcefulness is much higher than that of the bandits. . ”

The bandits shouted to their feet. More people dispelled their doubts, or were kidnapped by morality, and refused to be ridiculed afterwards, and refused to be regarded as cowards, and they also stood up and shouted.

A dozen cavalrymen hesitated, they really didn't want to go, but in this case, they seemed to have to express their position.

Lin Jue relieved them.

"We still have a lot of injured brothers, they need to stay, and they have to have brothers to stay and take care of them. This also solves our worries. I saw that these dozen brothers stayed behind to take care of the wounded. If our work is done, the credit belongs to everyone, and you also have the credit. Someone has to rush to the front, someone in the back to help feed the horses, cook rice and boil water, these are essential tasks. ”

Lin Jue's words made these dozen people feel ashamed and grateful. Lin Jue naturally didn't want to create a discordant atmosphere by doing this. In fact, every extra person, even a wounded soldier. As long as we can persist in fighting, we will have a better chance of success. But Lin Jue respects his identity, so he doesn't want to take risks on his own, but he doesn't want to force others to take risks with him.

Of course, Lin Jue was not an impulsive hot-headed move, but besieging and killing the bandits in Bolangsha was more beneficial to the overall situation than letting these bandits retreat to the city, and it was more likely to be finalized. Once these more than 10,000 bandits retreat to the city, the army will have to fight fiercely with them in the five counties in the future, and I don't know how long it will take to annihilate them all. So Lin Jue refused to let them leave easily. Even if only a part of it can be annihilated, it will create a great favorable situation for the subsequent extermination.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since you are all willing to take this risk with me, from now on, you will abandon all distractions and do your best to accomplish this. I don't want to hear people say words of regret, and I don't want you to complain. If you are not ready, stay here, Lin will not force it. If you have decided, then my next word is a military order. Anyone who disobeys my orders will be punished by military law. Do you understand? Lin Jue shouted in a low voice.

"I wait for understanding, I am willing to listen to Lord Lin's orders." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, then let's travel lightly and set off immediately. Let's go east, climb over those sand dunes, approach the gallop strategy, find a favorable position, and wait for the opportunity to move. Let's go! Lin Jue shouted loudly.
