Chapter 226: Sneak Attack
This place is a long way away from the Murong Division, each tribe on the grassland has its own grassland, and between the grassland and the grassland, it is also very far away, the Shuluo Department and the Murong Department are quite far away, even if it is a fast horse, it will take several days, especially in the snow, it takes more time.
Yang Ze took people and ran out for two days in one go, and he didn't catch up with those heads of Gamuha, the excitement at the beginning gradually cooled down, and even Yang Ze himself began to doubt whether he could catch up with those heads before he reached the Murong Ministry, if he caught up with the Murong Ministry, then things would become very troublesome, not to mention anything else, so many people ran to the Murong Department together, would it be mistaken for an invasion? That alone is a big problem!
Caicai ran with Yang Ze, the little girl was not as delicate as she imagined, neither bitter nor tired, but saw that Yang Ze had a hesitant look, she would comfort a few words, and she was quite sensible. But Yang Ze saw it in his eyes, but he was worried in his heart, it seemed that Caicai still took Murong Jun to heart, otherwise he would not have suffered hardships, but he didn't even squeak.
This night, Yang Ze came to a herdsman's settlement, this settlement has more than a dozen households, that is, more than a dozen tents, there is a large sheepfold outside the tent, and a horse pen, there are hundreds of sheep in the sheepfold, but there is not a single horse in the horse pen, and the herdsmen saw Yang Ze and them running this way, they were so frightened that they fled, and when Yang Ze and they arrived, all that was left was an empty tent.
When he arrived at the residence, Yang Ze got off the horse and took a look at the situation and called Shu Luochai. Pointing to the dozen or so empty tents, he asked, "Did those herdsmen think we were robbers, so they ran away when they saw us?" ”
Shu Luochai entered a tent. After looking at it, he turned around and said, "I think we are robbers, and there is broth boiling in the tent!" His expression was a little unnatural, and he wanted to say something but didn't.
Yang Ze looked at the tent, and then looked into the distance, the sun had already set, and he couldn't see the herdsmen who had fled. Feeling a little wrong in his heart, he asked again, "Is this usually the case?" Didn't you say that the herdsmen were the most hospitable, why did we come? Didn't even ask, just ran away? ”
Shu Luochai's face was ugly, and he said, "This, it's a little strange. Maybe we have too many people. It was in the evening again, and the herdsmen didn't know the situation, and they were afraid that we would come to rob them, so they fled directly, it is estimated that they have old people and children, and they are afraid of being hurt! Looking at his expression, it seems that there is something that has not been said, but I don't know why.
Over there. Hao Weifeng suddenly shouted: "County Zun, a corpse was found here." He was killed, and it looks like he died today! ”
Yang Ze hurriedly walked over, and saw a corpse parked in a small tent, this is an old man, dressed in ordinary herdsman clothes, with a knife mark on his neck, he was killed, and he was killed by a knife, the corpse's clothes were neat, and his hair was combed, it seems that his family parked him here, and it is estimated that he has not had time to bury him!
Hao Weifeng looked solemn and said to Yang Ze: "County Zun, it seems that there are robbers in this place today, that is, during the day, and they also killed the herdsmen, otherwise the herdsmen here would not be so afraid, they fled without seeing our people, and they didn't even have time to take away the corpses and sheep of their families, which is called shock...... What a bird! ”
"Frightened Bird!" Yang Ze whispered, and he also saw that this small tribe must have been plagued by robbers during the day, and when they came at night, those herdsmen had to quickly flee with women and children, for fear of being harmed again.
Shu Luochai squatted down, looked at the corpse, and said: "A knife cut the throat of this old man, this is not like an ordinary robber, the average robber is far away with arrows, can scare the herdsmen away, and the robbery is also cattle, sheep and horses, but look at the tents just now, it seems that there has not been looting, and there is only one corpse, which is different from the ordinary robber style." ”
Yang Ze frowned, thought about it, and suddenly, he said loudly: "It must be those Toutuo, for sure, they took Murong Jun away, and when they arrived here to replenish food and forage, somehow this old herdsman recognized that Murong Jun, and then he was killed, and as soon as they killed, the herdsmen couldn't beat them, so they could only escape, and Toutuo would not occupy here, let alone rob indiscriminately, they only stayed for a short time, and then left, and those herdsmen could come back again!" ”
Hao Weifeng immediately said: "What the county venerable said is, it must be like this!" "As a subordinate, no matter what the county order says, he must say it right, this is the consciousness of a good subordinate!
The two brothers, Shu Luochai and Shu Luozao, were suspicious, and no one saw the true situation of the matter, how could this county magistrate be so arbitrary? But they didn't dare to say anything suspicious, but they didn't nod their heads!
Yang Zeyi pointed in the direction of the Murong Department and said: "In this direction, the Toutuos must be in front, as I expected, they must be outside the half-day journey, we will chase after them now, and at midnight, we will definitely reach their camp!" Let's go forward now, and if we see a fire in front of us at midnight, it must be them! ”
When the soldiers and big men of Zhenxi County heard this, they immediately turned over and got on their horses again, they came out this time, of course, they listened to Yang Ze, as long as Yang Ze said to chase, then they would immediately chase.
But Shu Luochai said: "Master, even if those heads are in front, but when we arrive, they have rested for half a night, and they have eaten and drunk enough, but we are sleepy and tired, if we want to fight over, I am afraid that the chances of winning are not great, even if there are many of us, I am afraid that it will not work!" ”
He said this is the truth, if it is in the Central Plains, the raid will generally have an effect, even if the attacking side is tired, you can also hit the enemy by surprise, but this is the grassland, in case there is no forest where the head Tuo rests, then Yang Ze will take people over, and the old man will be found far away, even if he can't see people clearly at night, but the sound of horses' hooves can't be covered, which loses the meaning of the raid, in case Tou Tuo sees that there are many of them, they don't fight but flee separately, the horses of the head Tuo have rested, but their horses have been running, If you want to catch up with Toutuo, it is too difficult, as a knight on the grassland. Naturally, I understand this truth!
Yang Ze snorted and said, "Whether there is a chance of winning or not, you have to try." If you don't try, how do you know you don't have a chance of winning! After a pause, he said again: "This time, let's kill it, as long as your people can lift the head of Toutuo, a head, I will give a hundred jars of wine, how about it." You can't do this business! ”
Shu Luochai's eyes immediately flashed, and the light was bright and bright, and he said loudly: "A hundred jars of wine for a head? All right. Of course this trade is done! He turned back to his men and exclaimed, "Listen to it, a head is worth a hundred jars of wine." and so on, and catch up with those heads. Whether you can drink good wine depends on whether your knives are sharp enough! ”
When the men of the Shuluo tribe heard this, they immediately shouted together like Shuluochai, their eyes were full of light, and they had to cut off all the heads of the heads!
And the people did not rest any more, but they got on their horses again, took out the dry food, and ate some of it at once. Running non-stop in the direction of Murong Ministry!
Running all the way, just like Yang Ze predicted. It was exactly the same, and at midnight, I saw a firelight two or three miles away, because it was too far away, even if I saw the fire, the firelight was very small, and I only judged that it was a bonfire!
Shu Luochai ran in the front, and when he saw the firelight, he was extremely excited, and turned around and said: "Master, it is really those heads, you guessed it accurately!" ”
Yang Ze raised his hand, ordered the horse team to stop, and asked, "It's so far away, how can you tell that it's those heads?" ”
Shu Luochai said with a smile: "The big lord doesn't know, the villain has lived on the grassland for many years, and when he looks at the fire, he knows how big the fire is, and when he looks at the size of the fire in front of him, there can only be more than a dozen people around, not more than twenty, from the number of people, isn't it just those heads!" ”
Yang Ze hummed and nodded, this is a professional word.
Shu Luochai said again: "Let's not rush over immediately, otherwise the sound of the horse's hooves will not be able to hide it when it reaches a distance of one mile, and the heads will be prepared, let's get off the horse now, lead the horse and slowly approach, and then outflank them when they get closer, so that none of them can run away!" ”
Yang Ze agreed with this plan very much, he turned around and found Cai Cai in the crowd, and said loudly: "Except for that Prince Murong must be alive, as long as one of the Toutuo can live, I want to ask him, and the rest will be killed!" He said this for Nana.
Hearing this, Caicai seemed to be relieved, she took the initiative to dismount, beckoned to Mu Gen, and said to Yang Ze: "It's good for you to go over, I'll stay here, so as not to hold you back, let Mu Gen accompany me!" ”
Yang Ze thought to himself: "You are sensible!" ”
Shu Luochai said: "Master, catching alive is much more troublesome than killing it directly, maybe it will cause casualties on our side, can it be seriously injured?" Can this be simpler, such as shooting him a few arrows and making him half-dead? ”
"Cheng, as long as you keep your breath, you can let me ask questions!" Yang Zedao.
They dismounted, tied the horse's mouth with strips of cloth, lest the horse neigh, led the horse, and slowly approached the fire, and when it was almost a mile away, they divided into three ways and began to outflank!
Yang Ze took Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen, as well as a group of Zhenxi Hans, and left the horses in the local area, and they touched them lightly. Yang Ze walked at the back, and the big men in front of him walked quite fast, looking at their appearance, it seemed that they had done this kind of thing before.
Among the three roads, Hao Weifeng was the first to touch the side of the fire, and saw that there were more than a dozen heads lying on the edge of the fire, among which there was a person wearing bald clothes, although he couldn't see his face clearly, it was estimated that it was Murong Jun!
The Toutuos looked very tired and were all asleep, and only one Toutuo was keeping vigil, but they looked like kowtow worms, and they looked very sleepy!
The bonfire was burning, and from time to time there was a slight crackling sound, and on the grassland, in the snow, this gentle crackling sound made it seem that it was so silent in the middle of the night!
Hao Weifeng took a deep breath, swallowed it slowly, and thought: "The first time I followed the county zun out to do things, I have to make a meritorious contribution, this head of the night vigil, let me bear the result!" With a big knife in his hand, he approached this head, and cautiously, seeing that he was about to reach this head!
At this moment, suddenly, a head beside the fire turned over and shouted, "Who? "This head Tuo is extremely alert, as soon as he swallowed a word, his eyes looked at Hao Weifeng's side, and he copied the short knife next to him and threw it out! (To be continued......)
