Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1128 Crazy duo

  Master Qu looked at Pang Tong triumphantly.

Pang Tong's face was quite ugly, and then he was silent for a while, waved his hands, turned around and said, "Come, present the gift for the captain!" Although there is still a long distance between Qu Zhang and the captain, who doesn't like to hear Some nice words?

   Qu Chang smiled and said, "How nice it is so early! Dried fish? Ha, do you think I'm a young child?"

  Businessmen crossing the border must be searched and searched, but of course part of this behavior is to identify spies, but more of it is actually to gain benefits.

  Staying in this place where the birds don’t shit, the food and grass can only be delivered once a month. If there is no inspection of these caravans to subsidize them, where will the wine and meat come from?

  The large caravans from Pingyang to the east all go along the line of Huguan and Hanoi, and they don’t take the east line at all. Only some small-scale caravans will take the line of Hedong Hongnong to earn some extra money.

  Dried fish is worthless, but the salt used to marinate dried fish is. It's just that salt and iron are more or less controlled by the imperial court. Although it is no longer strictly prohibited, it is very cumbersome to go to the government to file for business, so many merchants simply use salted fish instead of selling salt. Although this kind of control and restriction is the same for big merchants, it is still effective for small caravans.

  Looking at the wine and bacon brought up, Qu Chang nodded, then pointed at a few items at random, and said to the soldiers around him: "Take it, I'll have an extra meal today..."

Qu Chang turned his head, his face became more or less relaxed, and he said to Pang Tong: "Hedong Wei's people are really polite. However, patrol inspections are also required, but don't worry, a certain subordinate also knows how to behave. Come on, board the ship for inspection, be quicker with your hands and feet, and break the rules!"

   Immediately, a team quickly responded, leading a dozen people towards the river bank.

  Pang Tong did not perform well this time, allowing these soldiers to poke their heads into the cabin to check, and some even rummaged through some cargo. It's just that the gifts that were obviously sent out have achieved some effects, and the hands and feet of these big soldiers are not too heavy...

The team leader came back and reported: "It is indeed salted fish... There are not many weapons, bows and arrows in the cabin, and there are no horses. There are only carts and so on. For weapons, there are only three or five waist knives and a dozen whistle sticks. ..."

   Qu Chang glanced at the team leader's bulging waist, and said, "Okay, got it... how many did you take?"

  Team led an embarrassed smile and said: "...Well, haven't you been talking lightly these days..."

   Qu Chang waved his hand to signal him to get out, and then shouted to Pang Tong: "Okay, you go over... eh? It's raining? Ha..."

   After such a delay back and forth, the sky was getting late, and I don’t know when it will start, and raindrops began to fall one by one from the sky.

   "Broken! Broken!"

Pang Tong yelled loudly, commanding people to bring the goods down for a while, looking at the sky for a while, and then telling people not to move them down, and then it seemed that the boss of the ship came to ask for the money for the ship, and the two argued again, 哜哜Noisy and noisy.

  In the end, of course nothing was done. The dozen or so loads of goods that were unloaded from the ship, seeing that the rain was getting heavier, moved back without hesitation...

Qu Chang looked at Pang Tong with a bitter face and asked someone to come up with some wine, meat and salted fish, so he laughed and accepted it, and then asked Pang Tong and others to stay for the sake of Hedong Wei. But tonight I can only stay on the boat, and I have to leave early tomorrow morning...

  ………………

  The rain was pattering, covering the entire sky.

  Zhang Liao sat quietly beside Pang Tong.

   This is a ploy that a lunatic will only agree to when he meets a lunatic.

The south bank of Shanjin is very open, and the entire terrain is in the shape of an inverted bell mouth, so it is not difficult to cross the river alone, and there is enough width for a strong attack. Hongnong's defenders also know this, so they didn't even think about it. The idea of ​​completely sealing off the South Bank was just to follow the terrain and build a small camp.

  Shaanjin South Ferry is stuck between two mountains. The barracks that were originally built for market transactions were all burned down in the last fire. No one has rebuilt them yet, leaving some wreckage.

  The camp near the shore is not big. It is said to be a camp, but it is actually more like a small yard built of wood. The small camp at the valley road has been roughly repaired along the mountain shape, and it still has the shape of a fortress, while the one near the south bank is much simpler, but it looks like a three-story courtyard with low walls on all sides.

  The lower floor is the kitchen. The firepit under the cauldrons has been extinguished now, and the scattered wooden stakes and stone slats around are the seats for the soldiers to eat.

There is also an area in the corner of the first floor, which seems to be used as a stable, but it is empty now, with nothing in it, and there are scattered piles of haystacks, firewood and other sundries in the corner; the second floor is where the twenty or thirty people stationed resting place

The third floor is much smaller, it is probably the residence of a few leading soldiers, and on the top of the third floor, under a simple thatched shed, there are already beacon firewood built together in the shape of the word "well". heap.

  About 200 meters inside the ferry camp, winding up along the steep mountain road, at the lee of the top of the mountain, a thatched shed was also built, guarded by several people, as a spare firewood pile.

  These two firewood piles are the final goals of Pang Tong and Zhang Liao.

   Only by taking these two places at the same time can it be regarded as isolating the possibility of Hongnong noticing the changes in Shaanxi and Tianjin.

After all, after taking down the ferry, you still need to be on the south bank, waiting for soldiers, horses, equipment, etc. to be transferred from the north bank. This will definitely be busy within a day or two. Go here and block the horn-shaped Taniguchi exit. In this way, even if Zhang Liao was able to forcefully fight out with his soldiers, he would still suffer a lot of damage, which means he lost the opportunity to break through again.

   But such a rainy night seems to be an opportunity given by God.

  A person who was originally adventurous met someone who was equally daring, which led to such a strategy that ordinary people would never agree with.

  Pang Tong looked at the sky and said, "It's almost done... let's do it..."

Zhang Liao, dressed as a boatman, nodded, and then walked towards the stern. Under the cover of the rainy night, someone pulled up a thick hemp rope tied to the stern, and quickly pulled the bundles of weapons hidden in the water. to the boat.

  A caravan without weapons is not much of a threat.

Therefore, the defenders near the beacon tower on the south bank did not take this "caravan" seriously, and with the addition of wine and bacon, many people had the best meal after eating these days. In addition, it was a rainy night, and I felt that the upper eyelids were sticky to the lower eyelids, and I was extremely sleepy. Except for those who were on duty, the rest of the staff basically found a dry place to sleep with their heads in their arms...

  There is no problem with drinks and meat.

  Pang Tong wanted to think about it, but the requirements for the items to be added were too high. Not only did they need to be delayed, but they also had to be mild. However, how can such a drug be found as soon as it is found, or is it carried with you all the time?

  Zhang Liao held a spear and wore leather armor, then nodded with Pang Tong, and quietly rolled over from the ship's side to the shore. The sound of rain in the dark night and the gurgling sound of the river completely covered the sound of Zhang Liao and others marching.

At the entrance of the small camp at Nanankou, two soldiers on duty, one on the left and the other on the right, were holding spears and shrinking inward, trying to keep their bodies from being contaminated by the rain outside. A little nap.

  Zhang Liao quietly touched outside the camp. Although bows and arrows are too eye-catching, and once wet, the bowstring will soon soften and become unusable, but Zhang Liao still has his own method.

  Zhang Chen took out two short spears from behind, and handed them to Zhang Liao's outstretched palm.

  Zhang Liao shook his short spear lightly, then burst out from the darkness, took two steps in a row, and then rushed forward, one step at a time, one spear at a time, and shot out!

The tail of the short spear caused a slight vibration due to the friction with the air in the rain, breaking all the fine rain and mist. In a blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of nearly a hundred steps and directly pierced into the chests of two soldiers on duty. , Amidst the muffled thud, the two of them were immediately pierced by the short spear, and the original scream in the chest was suppressed into two muffled groans because of the powerful kinetic energy brought by the piercing of the short spear.

  The short spear flew out, and Zhang Liao had already followed the route of the short spear, heading straight for the gate of the camp!

  Zhang Chen also held his saber and followed closely behind Zhang Liao.

  During the battle on the mountain road last time, because the force was really weak, Zhang Liao practiced it because of this defect afterwards, so now he looks a little bit better. According to Zhang Liao, since he has embarked on the road of joining the army, it is not enough to only know how to ride a horse. At least some blood must be seen on the knife edge to be regarded as a commander, otherwise these veterans will not be convinced...

  The simple and crude small camp, the gate is only as tall as one person.

  When Zhang Liao rushed under the closed gate, maybe it was the rainy night that covered up the sound, or maybe it was too long to be safe and slack off his mind, but there was no reaction in the camp...

"People!"

   Zhang Liao said in a deep voice, then stepped on the human ladder built by Zhang Chen and several soldiers, leaped over the gate!

  As the latch was pulled down and the gate was wide open, Zhang Jing led his hands into the sheepfold like a beast, and followed Zhang Liao into the camp!

  Long spears are originally inconvenient to use in a small space, and it is also inconvenient to use them, but such a situation is completely invisible to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao held the middle end of the long spear, like holding a two-section short spear, and crashed into the resting place of the soldiers on the second floor. With a swipe of the spear head, it swung like a living dragon, and it was already on the throat of the soldier he met head-on. A cloud of blood mist was brought out, and then he rushed straight to the people behind without stopping, sneaking in whenever he saw a crack, unexpectedly he was not hindered by a few wooden pillars in the house at all, only heard the sound of puff puff puff puff It became a piece!

  By the time Zhang Chen led his soldiers and followed Zhang Liao into the house, Zhang Liao was already like a gust of wind, sweeping from the house entrance to the stairs to the third floor, corpses everywhere he went!

  Zhang Liao glanced over like lightning, and shouted: "Zichu! Second floor! Heigouzi, come with someone!" After the words fell, he had already rushed up the stairs leading to the third floor.

  Zhang Liao had just revealed his head on the third floor, when he heard the wind above his head, with a buzzing sound, and the sword slashed down sharply!

Zhang Liao let out a low growl. The spear was inside such a narrow space, and it ran up the stairs as if alive. A gun flower bloomed on top of his head. The more brilliant glory of sword-to-hand combat!

Qu Chang, who was awakened by the movement below, originally wanted to sneak attack Zhang Liao, but he didn't expect that the difference in strength between himself and Zhang Liao was too great, and he couldn't resist Zhang Liao's strength at all. As soon as the tiger's mouth was loosened, the long knife flew out of his hand with a buzzing sound, and stuck on the wooden wall beside him!

Qu Chang was horrified, he hurriedly turned around and tried to draw the saber again, but it was too late, Zhang Liao, who had jumped up to the third floor, rushed over, kicked him down, and then stuck the **** of the gun into his back with a puff, he was furious on the spot Absolutely.

On the top of the three-story wooden plank is the beacon pyre for lighting the fire. At this time, someone is already knocking on the flint and fire sickle on it. Just light the tinder, and the fine pieces of wood in the beacon pyre can be ignited. Then the flames can be lit in the blink of an eye!

  Zhang Liao raised his head, distinguishing among the noisy noises, and then he shot, from bottom to top, directly penetrating through the three-story wooden boards! There was a clatter, only to hear the scream of the person who was preparing to light the fire on the top floor, his calf was pierced, he staggered, couldn't stand stably, and fell from the top floor...

   "Heigouzi, go clean it up!"

  Zhang Liao turned around and saw a bow and arrow standing beside the low couch, so he reached out to take it, and went straight downstairs to the spare beacon firewood pile on the lee of the cliff.

  On the mountain road, fighting has already begun.

  Several soldiers stationed at the spare beacon pyre had noticed something was wrong, and stopped Zhang Liao's soldiers who were trying to climb up.

Although there were only a few soldiers on the leeward side of the mountain, but because the mountain road was winding and narrow, it could accommodate two people standing side by side at most, and the contact surface was so big, Zhang Liao's soldiers were stuck in the mountain road. , The people behind couldn't exert their strength at all.

Although they also used long spears to try to stab the ankles of the soldiers stationed on the mountain, but the opponent also used long spears, and it was more advantageous to be condescending. After a few back and forth, not only failed to attack, but was stabbed by the opponent several times , I couldn't stand firmly and fell down the mountain path, and I didn't know how to live or die.

  The one who stayed on the top of the mountain was eagerly hitting the flint and scythe, sweating profusely. I have lit the tinder just now, but because this place was originally a spare firewood pile, the daily inspections are a little slack, and on the top of the mountain, when the wind and rain come, the drifting rain and mist seep into the dry sawdust to some extent. Among the wooden sticks, the tinder that was lit for the first time did not successfully ignite the beacon pyre.

   "Kara Kala..." Under the impact and friction of the flint and fire scythe, sparks spewed out finally ignited the tinder again. The soldier held it carefully in his hands, and blew lightly twice to brighten the tinder, then stretched out his hand tremblingly, ready to put the tinder into the sawdust of the beacon fire...

   At this moment, with a sound of "whoosh", a long arrow pierced through the rain and fog, pierced through the air, and plunged into the neck of the soldier!

  The soldier's legs and feet were weak, and he rushed forward, but before he died, he saw his own blood sprayed on the little tinder that had just brightened up...
