Chapter 189: Reckoning and Counterreckoning

The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

It was gloomy all day, and in the afternoon the rain finally fell, and because of this, the people drank all afternoon in the courtyard until the rain stopped in the evening.

Unfortunately, even after the rain stopped, the sky was still gloomy, and it did not rain, so it was overcast, obscuring the moon. Coupled with the increasing winds at night, everyone felt that the night was a bit eerie.

On the rugged mountain road, because of the rain in the afternoon, the road on the mountain is extremely muddy, often walking two steps is the mud on the sole of a shoe, and the torch is not allowed, some people can't see clearly, and they will step into the puddle if they are not careful.

But no one complained in the slightest, because they knew very well that as long as this battle was won, everything else would be much simpler.

Therefore, a group of 200 people actually managed to move forward as quietly as possible.

Of course, this is also because the people who came this time are all people from the rivers and lakes, although they will still step on mud and puddles if they are not careful, but they will not kick it once.

Because of the fact that Linghu Jisang led the team, and the cave was originally halfway up the mountain, and it was not very far away, so everyone quickly arrived at the cave, and the only episode on the road was to accidentally bump into a thief who was "watering" the tree, and was also killed by a silent dart from the disciples of the Tang Sect behind.

"Xiao Jiu, I can investigate the case and find the way, you should come to the fight, and I will follow you in a while." Linghu Jisang shrank back, he also knew very well that he didn't know any martial arts, if he really rushed to the front, he was afraid that he would let the bandits kill him with a knife.

Mu Xiaojiu nodded and looked at Song Yuanqiao, "Daoist Song, it's better for you to arrange it, most of the boys are fighting alone, and when it comes to this method of cooperation, it's really powerless." ”

Song Yuanqiao saw that Mu Xiaojiu was true, and he didn't shirk it at the moment, and after simply arranging the task, he nodded and signaled that he could go in.

Only then did Mu Xiaojiu pick up the grass at the entrance of the cave.

Linghu Jisang poked his head forward, and after taking a look, he gently patted Mu Xiaojiu's shoulder, "Xiao Jiu, it's that stone, you look at it, it's actually very light, I can move it away if I don't know martial arts." As soon as the stone was pushed away, you could immediately see inside the cave. Look at that gap, is there a faint fire? ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked over there, hey, sure enough, at that gap, there was actually a faint trace of extremely faint firelight reflected.

Nodding slightly, Mu Xiaojiu no longer hidden, stood up and walked directly to the entrance of the cave, punched out, and then shouted, "Rush!" ”

……

Broken Gate Jiansu looked at the sky, "They have been out of the city for so long, and they should be almost at the cave of Wolong Mountain." ”

Lightning Sword Su nodded, although he was the weakest in martial arts among the five, he really had a few clever skills, and this time the plan was also set by him, "That's right, we can attack with confidence at this time." They were only 200 people, and when they met the god of soft water and 500 brothers in the cave, they were sure that they would not return. ”

Hearing this, the Broken Door Sword Su laughed, but he didn't rush to give the order, but waited for a while, and waited until the moon in the sky was completely obscured by the clouds, and there was no trace of moonlight exposed, and then he waved his hand and let everyone behind him stand up.

"Brethren, rush! Huangzhou City is ours! ”

The Broken Door Sword gave an order, and under the night, countless black shadows rushed towards Huangzhou City.

But before he rushed to the general, countless torches suddenly lit up on the city tower, and then countless arrows formed a sword rain and fell one after another, instantly turning the city tower into a purgatory.

At the same time, two cavalry teams on both sides of the city gate also came out at the same time and rushed towards the man composed of bandits and the twelve dock waterways of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

The military commander of the city stood on the city tower, sneered and shouted: "Broken Door Sword, you have miscalculated!" Do you really think that there is no capable person in my Huangzhou City who can see through your little tricks? Haha, it's a dream! If I can't make you come and go back today, I, the commander, will die directly on this city gate! ”

Broken Gate Sword Su watched the rain of swords pouring down from the city, the cavalry rushing from both sides, and the words from the mouth of the military commander who constantly surrounded his ears, all of which continued to destroy his self-confidence.

However, when the Broken Gate Jiansu thought of the situation in the cave, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "So what, that Mu Xiaojiu and Song Yuanqiao of the Wudang Sect have now gone to the cave of Wolong Mountain, and the cave is now ambushing the people led by my Twelve Serial Dock Waterways of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and they will not return!" Brethren, we withdraw! ”

It's a pity that when the Broken Door Sword Su said this, he didn't see the Lightning Sword Suo's bad face.

His voice of "retreat" had not yet fallen, but Mu Xiaojiu's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Broken Door Sword, should I call you naΓ―ve, or should I call you an idiot?"

……

Time rewinds to just now.

The two hundred martial arts people who had already discussed it, after Mu Xiaojiu's roar, turned around and rushed down the mountain.

Although they don't know why this happened, they had already received orders as early as when they left the city, Mu Xiaojiu said rush, and they ran, ran down the mountain, and rushed all the way back to Huangzhou City.

In fact, the reason why Mu Xiaojiu went to ask Song Yuanqiao to arrange troops was just to have time to listen carefully to whether there were any hidden voices around him, as for the punch that broke through the boulder and the roar, it was even more to confuse the ambush soldiers in the cave.

Although they could have left the city and began to turn back soon after leaving the city, and then lurked, a visit to this cave would have made a greater difference.

God knows if Mu Xiaojiu and the others didn't arrive at the cave for a long time, would the people inside rush out and join the men and horses led by the Five Great Swordsmen. Because no one can determine when the people on both sides agreed, such a fuss will make the people in the cave wait a little longer, and the price is just to let Mu Xiaojiu and the others run a little longer.

Of course, the greater benefit of this is that it can lure the snake out of the hole. The people in the cave waited for a while, and after finding that Mu Xiaojiu and they didn't make the slightest movement, they would definitely send someone out, but they had to be careful first, because they didn't know if Mu Xiaojiu and they were in ambush outside.

After careful investigation, when they found that there was no one outside, they would understand that Mu Xiaojiu and the others had played tricks on them, and at this time, they would definitely rush to Huangzhou City as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, Mu Xiaojiu brought people on this trip, firstly, to investigate the situation and give the other party's people a reassurance; The second is to lure the snake out of the hole, and at the same time take advantage of your own initiative to create a time difference.

……

Time goes back again.

At noon, before the meal is ready.

After Linghu Jisang told the bandits' hiding place, Sun Lao, the oldest and most calm and calm, asked a question: "This young man, I want to know how long you have been investigating this so-called hiding place?" ”

Linghu Jisang was a little confused about Sun Lao's question, but with respect for Sun Lao, Linghu Jisang still replied honestly: "Since we first arrived in this Huangzhou City, we have been looking for the thief's lair. ”

Mu Xiaojiu heard a different taste, and hurriedly asked, "Old Sun, what's wrong?" Did you find anything? ”

Elder Sun nodded, and asked Su Lingtian again, "Xiaotian, how long has it been since that bandit came to make trouble?" ”

Su Lingtian frowned, "The last time I attacked, it was the thirteenth. Well? No, why is there such a long gap in between? ”

Mu Xiaojiu suddenly understood Sun Lao's doubts.

"I see, I see, these bandits are so calculating." Mu Xiaojiu smiled disdainfully, "It's been so long, of course, it's because they're mobilizing people and discussing plans." As he spoke, he looked at Linghu Jisang, "Jisang, how did you find their lair today?" ”

Linghu Jisang was a little confused, "That's how I found it, I have roughly guessed that they may exist in a circle after exploring the horses beforehand, but after the entire range has been searched, the only best hiding place is Wolong Mountain." So after I left the city this morning, I went to Wolong Mountain again, but when I saw a man dressed as a bandit, of course I couldn't let go of such a good clue, so I quietly followed him, and found the secret of the cave. ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, "I'm afraid that Jisang, you have fallen into someone else's calculations, that bandit is afraid that he is waiting for you, he just wants to wait for you to find him, if I guess correctly, I am afraid that you will already be targeted by them when you go out of the city to Wolong Mountain this morning, and there are definitely bandit spies near Huangzhou City." ”

"When they have their eyes on you, they have sent out a wave of attacks to make us unhappy, and if you return with news of the enemy's lair, we will not think much about it, and we will attack at night. At this time, they will divide their troops into two groups, one group of people ambush us in the cave, and the other group of people will attack Huangzhou City at night. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but glance at Sun Lao, "This time it's thanks to Sun Lao, who is thoughtful and calm, otherwise, even I wouldn't have discovered the conspiracy and calculation at the beginning." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, but Song Yuanqiao said: "Even if we find out about each other's conspiracy and calculations, what should we do next?" Standing still? ”

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head, "If they don't move, they will never attack Huangzhou City at night, the best way is to plan and go to the cave, but the things that follow will naturally not go as they want." ”
