Chapter 81: The Bandit Comes to an End
On that day, Jing Yi led people to watch the movements of the bandits only one mile away from the Thorn Yang Mansion.
Now the details of the bandits, the official army of Shuyang has already learned from the mouths of the bandits who surrendered, and now there are less than 2,000 old and weak bandits left in the Shuyang Mansion, and there are still many wounded among them.
Therefore, Jing Yi was so close to Jianyang Mansion, and he did not deliberately hide it, but he never sent anyone to come, which shows that the bandits do not have much confidence to continue to argue with the officials and soldiers, Jing Yi's task is to supervise these bandits, and drag them to Miyang, and wait for the large army to come.
But he didn't expect that this group of bandits was very quiet, and there was no movement in the Jianyang Mansion during the day, and Jing Yi naturally wouldn't find himself boring to find the door, so Jing Yi also watched the movements of this group of bandits from a distance, and sent someone to notify His Royal Highness in the rear.
It was already dusk when Lin Yuyan arrived, and Xiang Ying asked, "Your Highness, but do you want to take advantage of the fact that it is not too late to take this Thorn Yang Mansion?" ”
It had been many days since he saw this mansion, and he was looking at His Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor's response with anticipation, but he was disappointed.
Hearing that the bandits were honestly staying in the Thorn Yang Mansion, this highness was not as anxious as before, and this highness who had always avoided taking the initiative to attack and strive to reduce casualties really did not accept Xiang Ying's request, but he still asked the Shuyang army to prepare for the siege of the city, and sent people to persuade him to surrender.
But the bandits have been prepared for this for a long time, although the city wall of Jianyang Mansion is not high, but the wall and gate on Lin Yuyan's side have already been reinforced, and it seems that they are preparing to fight a defensive battle with the official army of Shuyang.
Lin Yuyan was worried that such a group of bandits would be coerced by the bandits to the sparsely populated Miyang, but now he was thinking about how to surround this group of bandits in the Thorn Yang Mansion.
But after a while, he heard the news sent by the scout who was watching: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it seems that the bandits are going to break through in the direction of Wuyin?" ”
"Dancing Yin? Not Miyang? Xiang Ying has always believed in the inference of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, but he didn't expect that this time he would make some mistakes.
The scout replied, "It's not the yang or the yin direction!" ”
Lin Yuyan on the side said: "It's possible, Wuyin City is close to Fangcheng Mountain, and the garrison of Fangcheng Army is northwest of Wuyin, then Ge Bao must know this, maybe he has explored a path to avoid Fangcheng Army!" ”
Xiang Ying nodded, but at this time, another herald soldier came urgently to report: "Your Highness, the bandits have broken through to the direction of Wuyin!" ”
Xiang Ying looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dark, maybe these bandits are going to run away at night!" ”
Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "Three hundred riders are in front, intercepting the bandits, and the rear army is advancing at full speed!" ”
All the generals hugged their fists at Lin Yuyan and said, "Yes!" ”
Immediately deployed troops and horses to launch a pursuit of the fleeing bandits.
Three hundred horsemen under the leadership of the Zong Guard, the first to set off, Ge Bao tied the war horse with iron chains, although even the soldiers who were not very good at equestrianism could ride the horse steadily, but they lost their flexibility, the Zong Guard is a skilled archer, so Jing Yi unloaded the chain.
Then the rear army slowly marched out.
The Thorn Yang bandits who fled to Wuyin knew that this was their last fight, and whether they could survive or not depended on whether they could run away from the pursuit of the official army, so they ran very fast.
However, after all, the two legs did not run over the four legs, and it was only when they were more than ten miles north of Jianyang Mansion that they let the three hundred cavalry of the official army who hurriedly set off from the west of the city catch up, and after half a pillar of incense, they blocked this group of more than 2,000 bandits.
Half an hour later, the rear army that set out for the rear arrived and surrounded the bandits.
To be honest, Lin Yuyan was a little incredulous about how easily he surrounded the last bandits, so he asked Jing Yi: "Can you catch the leader of the Ma clan bandits, as well as the little Chang'an Judu Lieutenant Ge Bao and the deputy lieutenant Qiangyuan?" ”
Jing Yi thought carefully for a while, shook his head and replied, "Not really!" ”
"Search around and find them!" Lin Yuyan said, these people are the key figures in this bandit's move, the court asks for the guilt, and gives an explanation to a common people, it is indispensable to take these people out to ask for the guilt.
Not long after, Jing Yi came back and replied to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, it's not good! As soon as the question came out of the mouth of a small leader, the bandits and the little Chang'an Judu Lieutenant Ge Bao, Deputy Lieutenant Qiang Yuan and others seemed to be heading to Miyang, and these people were the bait they released to attract our army! ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan immediately ordered: "Jing Yi, take someone to chase, no wonder I didn't see any horses when I came, it is estimated that they are riding horses, only the Zong Guards can catch up here!" ”
"Yes!" Jing Yi immediately summoned the Sect Guards.
Lin Yuyan ordered again: "Be sure to go to Fengyi and see how Mr. Wen is!" ”
"Your Highness, be careful!" Jing Yi nodded, and said a word to Lin Yuyan.
Lin Yuyan nodded and replied: "Now that the thorny yang bandit trouble has subsided, don't worry!" ”
Hearing this, Jing Yi led people to start chasing the bandits in the direction of Miyang.
Watching Jing Yi lead the Zong Guards away, Lin Yuyan shook his head, an hour, a whole hour, these bandits have been ahead of Jing Yi's Zong Guards for an hour, I'm afraid that if they don't stop, it will be difficult for the Zong Guards to catch up, and now Lin Yuyan is worried that if these escapes out to see their own fiefdoms looting, Mr. Wen must be in danger!
Although this possibility is very small, Lin Yuyan has to think about it.
But Lin Yuyan was too worried, at the moment, this group of bandits who left on horseback only wanted to rush to Fangcheng Mountain as soon as possible, how could they dare to stop more on the road, and besides, the old clan in Jianyang had already grabbed a lot of good things, even if they looted in Miyang now, how could they take it away?
Therefore, along the way, more than 100 bandits did not dare to stop at all.
"Drive! Drive! Drive! ...... driving"
More than 100 bandits ran wildly all the way, did not dare to stop, and finally passed through Miyang City on the evening of August 22.
The gate of Miyang City was closed, and it seemed that he had received the news that the bandits were being troubled in Thornyang, but because the bandits were rushing over at full speed, Miyang had not yet received the news that the Thornyang bandits had been defeated.
"Dad, uncle, I saw Fangcheng Mountain!"
The night was still bright, because of the bright stars, Ma Dahu saw the outline of the mountain shadow, and immediately said to his father Ma Zhong and Ma Bo.
Ma Bo nodded, and then ordered to the people around him: "Rush to the foot of Fangcheng Mountain and catch two local hunters!" ”
Both of them responded.
At that moment, he couldn't stop, and Ma Bo was about to whip and pat the horse, but he saw someone say: "Ma Shou, this horse can't run anymore!" ”
Ma Bo snorted coldly: "If you can't run, you have to run for Lao Tzu, now it's only a few miles away from Fangcheng Mountain, and the horses can't be brought into the mountain, and if you die, you will be thrown under the mountain!" ”
Hearing this, everyone continued to hurry.
After a short time, he rushed to the foot of Fangcheng Mountain, and the horses were really tired to death, Ma Bo glanced at it, and let people unload the treasures on the horse's back expressionlessly!
The subordinates quickly caught the local hunter, and the hunter was also very bold, and the subordinate said: "Ma Shou, this person is the chief of this town under the mountain and the chief of his family, and when he saw us entering the village and asked if he was in a hurry, we brought them." ”
Ma Bo glanced at the chief of the mountain, and saw that the latter was not afraid and said: "I said that all merchants, if you want to make money, you can't really get it, and you have to go over the mountain to Zheng Guo to do business at night?" ”
Hearing this, Ma Bo froze for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at the people who had already been squared, and they were indeed dressed as businessmen with bags on their backs.
Ma Zhong reacted quickly, and it was good to hide his identity at the moment, after all, this was still in the territory of Wuguo, so he stepped forward and said to the chief: "Chief, we have to send this batch of fresh goods to Zheng Guo to buy it quickly, so we are still in a hurry so late!" ”
The chief glanced at it and said: "I said, it is estimated that it is a parallel trade in the south of Wuguo, and there are often merchants who have to go in so late to find someone to lead the way, but merchants, these horses can't be brought into the mountains, and they can't go over!" ”
Hearing this, Ma Zhong smiled and continued to say to the chief: "Don't take these horses away, put them at the bottom of the mountain, we will sell the goods in Zhengguo and return them!" ”
Ma Bo only now knew what his second brother meant, and then said: "These people have a look at Lao Yichang...... When we came back, we paid for the food, and we were running out of food along the way. ”
The people in the mountains are simple in the end, and the chief of the city also said: "It doesn't matter, I will come back from the mountain tomorrow, and I will let people take care of these horses, waiting for you to come back and see if these horses are less meat!" ”
Ma Zhong said: "Then please ask the chief to lead the way, what about the fresh goods on this back, I am afraid that the weather will be stuffy, so I sold Zheng Guoren as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, the chief of Yi also nodded, and said to the chief worker beside him: "Go to the front to lead the way, pay attention, whether there is a wolf or a snake in front, don't be tripped!" ”
"Okay!" The chief worker answered, and ran to the front, picked up a stick, and led the way.
"Haha, the people in this ravine are just good talkers!" Seeing that Ma Zhong deceived this chief so easily to lead the way, Ma Bo also said to his second brother without hesitation.
Who knew that the chief of the city was also quite talkative, and replied: "When you go out, everyone has a difficulty, you merchants are outside, but it is much more difficult than us to dig food in the soil, besides, don't I also watch the horses for you, and I am afraid that you will not be able to run?" ”
When Ma Bo heard this, he also looked at Ma Zhong and smiled, and said, "This is reasonable, reasonable!" ”
Immediately, the chief of this mountain is to take care of the big guy and hurry: "The road in this mountain is not easy to walk, it is easy to stumble, the big guy is more careful, I let the chief worker walk in front to explore the road for you, the big guy is staring at the road, the starlight is big, and there will be no big deal on the road!" ”
Seeing that this mayor was so careful, Ma Bo also thought it was quite interesting, that is, to let this mayor follow him!
"Dashan, sing me a mountain song!" The chief said.
Ma Bo glanced at it and said, "No, it's better to be quiet on the mountain road." ”
The chief replied with a smile: "Merchant, you don't know, we have a rule with the wolves in the mountains, as soon as they sing mountain songs, they won't come!" ”
The Changgong Mountain also purred twice, and Ma Dalong also said beside him: "Dad, don't break the local rules, I don't think it's a bad thing!" ”
Ma Bo didn't say anything more, except that the gurgling sound of this Changgong Mountain was a little weird, there was nothing else to say, maybe it would really drive wolves.
"Big guy, let's go!" The chief of Yi picked up a stick and followed Changgong Dashan, and then Ma Bo asked people to follow.
Ge Bao glanced around, and said to the strong man beside him: "Let's break off!" ”
"Good!" Qiang Yuan's eyes changed, but he still agreed.
It was a group of people who entered Fangcheng Mountain.
The chief of Yi also introduced Fangcheng Mountain all the way, and when he walked out of a stick of incense, he looked at the front and introduced: "This road is a little difficult to walk, the grass is deeper, and the mountain is steep, big guys, be careful, big mountain, you should also be careful, there are many wolves here, sing mountain songs!" ”
"Got it," Changgong Dashan also responded, and then purred two words.
"Oops!"
Suddenly, Changshan, who was facing the road in front of him, screamed, and Ma Bo raised his head, as if he had fallen.
"Dashan, what's wrong with you!" Yi Chang ran from Ma Bo's side to Changshan, and said to himself: "Let you slow down, slow down, you are still so careless, why did you fall!" ”
Ma Bo glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it, after Yi Chang ran over, Ma Bo didn't ask anyone to follow him deliberately, after all, Changgong fell just a few feet in front of him.
After a few breaths, Ma Bo frowned and asked in a low voice, "Why is there no movement, Dalong, you go and take a look!" ”
Ma Dalong stepped forward in response, but found that the place where Changgong Dashan fell was a bush of dense grass, and the matter was empty, Ma Dalong immediately turned around and said: "Dad, the person is gone!" ”
"Not good!"
The thought came to Mabo's mind.
But he raised his head and looked at the cliffs on both sides, as if many figures suddenly stood up, and a loud laugh came: "Guardian Han Kui, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!" ”
Suddenly, the rocks on both sides fell instantly!
