Turbulent Times Chapter 14: Go north to Longxi again

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Junlin led nineteen scouts and Wu San and Wu Si out of the camp on horseback. Each of them had two horses, and they were first-class war horses. Soon twenty-two people left the camp. Go, disappear in the mountain road leading to Longxi City.

And just half an hour after they left, another 10,000 troops came out of the camp and rushed to the lair of the Ge Dao Department. They were ordered by Yu Juluo to exterminate the Godot Department.

At the same time, the Taoist priest in golden silk robes sitting cross-legged on the eastern hillside of Daying suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and looked towards the northwest direction, with a cold light in his eyes, and said to himself: "God help me, this boy 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 from his forehead, looked up at the hot sun, and said to everyone: "Find a cool place and eat Get something to rest!"

Excited, everyone got into the woods next to them, and soon they found a stream. The woods here are quite dense, which is good for hiding, and if they are lucky, they can also find wild food.

Sure enough, just as they entered the forest, Wang Junlin's expression froze, and he stopped suddenly. With a wave of his right hand, the others also stopped immediately. . This is considered to be deep behind the enemy, and the Ge Dao Department and the Turks must have scouts patrolling. They must maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times, otherwise they may be shot or ambushed at any time.

Wang Junlin bent his bow and set his arrow, staring at a bush. He guessed that it might be the sound made by a wild boar or a badger, or it might be a blind bear.

Suddenly, the bushes moved, revealing a dark object with bristling hairs... It was a wild boar!

When everyone saw this, they were overjoyed, thinking that they had settled down for dinner. Although wild boar meat was not as tender as yellow mutton and hare meat, it still tasted good.

With a buzzing sound, the arrow in Wang Junlin's hand flew out and hit the wild boar in the back, 'Boom! ’ There was a muffled sound, the strong force failed to penetrate the wild boar skin, and the arrow was bounced out.

But the pain of the arrow annoyed the wild boar. Generally, wild boars will not attack people, but if people attack it first, it will go crazy and retaliate. The beast let out a shrill howl, bared its long fangs, and rushed towards Wang Junlin crazily like a calf.

The distance between Wang Junlin and the wild boar was less than ten steps, and the wild boar was extremely fast, but it was too late to shoot the second arrow. What's more, the wild boar's skin was rough and thick, and the damage caused by the arrow was limited. Wang Junlin simply dropped the bow and arrow. The saber was out of its sheath, and the moment the wild boar rushed in front of him, he jumped up with a loud shout, while avoiding the wild boar, he slashed at the wild boar's head.

Only hearing the earth-shattering scream of the wild boar, a deep blood groove was split along its right eye and nose, and one of its tusks was chopped off on its face. Wang Junlin secretly sighed at the defense of the wild boar skin At the moment when the wild boar frantically turned its head to attack again, he held the knife in both hands and yelled again, and slashed at the neck of the wild boar. This time, Wang Junlin used all his strength, and the knife went so deep that the neck of the wild boar was almost cut off, bleeding In the flow, the wild boar uttered the last earth-shattering neigh and fell to the ground.

Wang Junlin killed a crazy adult wild boar so cleanly that all the nineteen scouts were shocked. You must know that even tigers and leopards would stay away from crazy adult wild boars. 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 looked indifferent. Wang Junlin kept guessing the strength of these two people along the way, but he had no chance to let them make a move, so he could only make sidelines. Coupled with the reaction of the two people at this time, Wang Junlin had a faint feeling that the strength of these two people might be stronger than his own similarity. Be great.

Without waiting for Wang Junlin's order, two subordinates came over and carried the wild boar to the stream and disemboweled it. Wang Junlin was breathing steadily, wiped his face of sweat, and said, "Go find a cave by yourself."

Igniting fire is a taboo for scouts to scout behind enemy lines, because the black smoke is easy to be spotted, but experienced scouts will set fire to barbecue game in the cave, so that the black smoke will not easily leak out, and will not be caught. Discover. The scouts understood this truth, and so did Wang Junlin, who was familiar with jungle warfare.

Soon the wild boar was washed and stripped clean, and another scout found a cave.

It is said to be a cave, but it is actually just a huge crack in the rock between the mountains. It is dark, very deep, and has a special smell.

When he came to the cave, Wang Junlin's face suddenly changed slightly, and when he waved his hand, everyone stopped immediately.

"Huo Chang, there are no beasts inside, I have checked." Su Changqing, who found the cave, said in a low voice.

Wang Junlin shook his head, took a sharp breath, and the smell became stronger.

"This is a snake cave. If I guessed correctly, there are many poisonous snakes hidden in the cave."

When everyone heard the words, their complexions changed slightly, and most of them showed disbelief.

Zhou Hu said unceremoniously: "Why does Huo Zhang think so..."

"Ah! Snake!" Before Zhou Hu could finish speaking, Li Xiang suddenly exclaimed, and the saber from his waist came out and slashed towards the bushes on the right. Everyone could clearly see that a gray-white poisonous snake was chopped into two sections. Writhing on the ground.

Everyone was taken aback, and soon they discovered several poisonous snakes. This time, the nineteen soldiers looked at Wang Junlin again, with more admiration in their expressions. Even Wu San and Wu Si looked at Wang Junlin's eyes changed, thinking that this boy is really not simple.

Leaving the Snake Cave, I found a safe cave nearby, leaving the two of them outside the cave to climb up a big tree for 300 steps to be vigilant. .

Wang Junlin grilled the meat himself. Not long after, the wild boar meat divided into four parts had been roasted in the cave. Mixed together, sprinkled on top, a faint fragrance wafted out, causing everyone to swallow their mouths, Zhou Hu quickly cut into several pieces with a knife, and everyone squatted on the ground to chew, and the first to fill up the two We also need to replace the two guards outside.

"Presumably all of you have been wondering why the governor summoned me in person, and guessed the identities of Wu San and Wu Si, and why they followed us?" Wang Junlin glanced at the crowd and said suddenly.

When the others heard this, they raised their heads and looked at Wang Junlin. They didn't speak, but the meaning in their expressions was very clear. They had indeed been wondering about this.

"Because, the real mission given to us by the governor is to rescue Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, from Longxi City." Wang Junlin said suddenly.

Zhou Hu, Li Xiang, Su Changqing and the others were startled, and Zhou Hu even said: "How can we rescue Dugu Chief?"

Wang Junlin snorted coldly and said, "Nothing is impossible. We are only saving people, and we are not going to fight the Turks and the army of the Ge Dao Department head-on. The governor promised that if this trip is successful, I will be promoted two times." Those who participate will be promoted to a higher level. The Dugu family is even more grateful."

It is said that there must be a brave man under a great reward. When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and their hearts moved.

"However, this trip is indeed a narrow escape, so if any of you are timid and afraid, you can withdraw, and I will not force you. I will not report you as deserters in accordance with military discipline. You decide for yourself!"

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and no one expressed their withdrawal. Of course, there was a reason for Wang Junlin's heavy reward, and no one would believe that Wang Junlin would really not pursue it. The punishment for deserters who do not obey the orders of their superiors is also extremely severe. Of course, this is also related to the fact that they are the elite among the elite, and the best among the elite. Each of these nineteen people is equivalent to the king of soldiers in the army of later generations. The so-called bold people with high arts are talking about them.

"Very good, since no one has quit, let me talk about the plan, and everyone can refer to it."

After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "I decided to sneak into Longxi City, but before doing this, I naturally need to make careful preparations. The things I asked for from the Captain before I came were actually for entering the city. We Three things need to be done. First, put on the clothes of the Qiang people first, and then put on makeup. This is left to Jiang Mulang and me. Second, we have to collect the venom from the teeth of all the poisonous snakes that we found in the front. , it may be useful to enter the city. Third, after everything is settled, we will wipe out the bandits on the western mountain, and those bandits and their families will become our prisoners. In addition..."

…

"His Royal Highness, another group of Qiang people has come to join us, and our power is getting bigger and bigger. This is because the envoys sent by the humble official to other Qiang tribes have played a role." Longxi Chengtou, head of Gedao tribe Mi Qinchi glanced outside the city, and said flatteringly to King Boduo next to him. There, a team consisting of 22 Qiang warriors and more than a dozen Han captives was walking towards the gate of Longnan City.

"Hmph, it's not that your envoys are effective, but because of the strength of our Western Turks, they saw the confidence to defeat the Sui Dynasty, so they took refuge in us." The leader of the three thousand Turkic cavalry, Wu Tuo, squinted his eyes Looking at Mi Qinchi, he said sarcastically.

Bo Duo Dharma King glanced at the team of Qiang warriors who had come to seek refuge, and said with a sacred face: "All obedience and submission, except for the light of the Heavenly Dharma King, depends on strength. What Wu Tuo said is right, the strength of these people It is indeed because we have the strength to defeat the Sui Dynasty.”

Wu Tuo suddenly looked proud, while Mi Qinchi looked panic-stricken, knelt at the feet of King Bo Duo, with his forehead on the ground, and said: "His Royal Highness King Bo Duo, your servant Mi Qin Chi is not as good as the truth. Not enough, but more light from the Heavenly King Dharma is needed."
