Red House Shoufu

Chapter 290 Reinforcement arrives

In the hinterland of the gourd-shaped valley, the fire will not be extinguished for a while.The scorching smell of the corpse rushed straight into people's nostrils. After Lin Shu scolded Wan Zhongyuan, he retreated to the dense forest of the mountain stream and disappeared. After that, sword rains shot out continuously from the dense forest, covering the rebels under the cliff.

However, there are many rocks in the valley, except for a few unlucky arrows, the rest of the people basically hid behind the rocks.

Just now Lin Shu appeared on the cliff alone. As for the others, Wan Zhongyuan didn't even see a shadow, so it was impossible to determine how many people there were.

However, judging from the wave after wave of rain in the surrounding area, the number of officers and soldiers is definitely quite large.

And Lin Shu and the others on the cliff are also anxiously waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. He doesn't want the people around him to rush down and fight the enemy head-on. Even if there is a chance to wipe out all the people at the bottom of the valley now, the casualties on his side And definitely not less.

What's more, the remaining half of the enemies on the valley road will probably arrive after the fire at the entrance is extinguished.

The density and efficiency of the rain of arrows gradually slowed down. Fuquan came to Lin Shu's side and reported in a low voice: "Master, the brothers of Huanglingwei ran around the cliff for several times, and they couldn't hold on anymore."

It turned out that the reason why this rain of arrows made Wan Zhongyuan think that there were a lot of officers and soldiers was actually the reason why Lin Shu asked the imperial guards to move and shoot arrows in all directions quickly.

Bows and crossbows consume little energy, but moving quickly on rough and slippery cliffs is indeed an extremely energy-consuming job.

"Order to move all the Imperial Tomb Guards to the exit to the south, have something to eat, and be ready to evacuate at any time."

As for the astonishing treasure in the valley, in Lin Shu's eyes, it was still not worth taking human life to fill it.It's not that the country is in danger of ruining the family, it's just money, there are plenty of ways to earn it back.

When Zuo Lan heard Lin Shu's words, she opened her mouth but did not stop her.

"Our purpose now is to delay the time as much as possible. We must not fight this group of rebels head-on. As long as our people guard the cliff, they will not dare to let go of their hands to transfer the property in the valley. When our reinforcements arrive, we will You can wipe out all the traitors in the valley."

To annihilate the two thousand elites in the valley, Shui Rong will feel distressed for a long time!

As time went by, the fire at the northern mouth of the valley gradually extinguished.The pile of charred corpses exuded a pungent stench. Nearly a thousand people who had been cut off in the valley road before looked at the corpses in horror. It was not until Ruan Jianghao beat several people with a whip that he drove them away from the road.

The two armies gathered in one place, and Wan Zhongyuan finally gained confidence.He didn't know how many people there were on the cliff, but Lin Shu tossed him over and over again, and became extremely cautious.

He told Ruan Jianghao: "Organize people to send the treasure out immediately. Their reinforcements may arrive at any time, and we don't have much time left."

"But the carriage has been burned, and we don't have many horses." Ruan Jianghao looked at the charred horses and carriage, and replied in embarrassment.

Wan Zhongyuan looked at the boxes of gold and silver treasures under his feet with distress, and cursed angrily: "What a cunning person! You can send as much as you can on your shoulders, and arrange it quickly. Let people pay attention to it at any time." Regarding the situation on the cliff, the Lin family is definitely still there, so don't be careless."

Of course Lin Shu was still there, and he was galloping on the cliff with a group of people holding bows and crossbows.The snow-covered mountain road was extremely difficult, and people almost fell off several times.

When he saw someone carrying a bag and carrying a box to leave the valley, cold arrows pierced his body.

Bang!

The box fell to the ground, and the alluring luster of gold and silver was particularly eye-catching. The guards all around forgot to look for the source of the cold arrow, and stared at the scattered treasures on the ground, swallowing their saliva.

"Bastard, be alert! Be alert! Find the enemy quickly!"

The whip in Ruan Jianghao's hand crackled, whipping several dazed people rolling all over the floor.Under the cover of his own soldiers, he raised his head and searched around, only to find that the trees were rustling, and there was no one in sight.

"Damn it! Liu San, take someone to the cliff to have a look..."

"General, I can't go up! The only trail that can go up is on the south side of the valley. Just now, the last general led people to try to go up. There are a lot of bows and crossbows guarding there."

……

"kill!"

Just as Lin Shu was hiding on the cliff on the north side of the valley and tried his best to block the exit, there was a deafening cry of murder from the south side.

He looked from a distance and saw Liao Yufeng leading the way, rushing down from the cliff with three 400 people, and killed the enemies in the valley.

"What's the situation? Didn't you just say it, wait for the reinforcements to arrive!"

Lin Shu was dazed by this change, and when he took a closer look, the murderous intent in his eyes went straight to Liao Yufeng.

Because the Lin family, with less than a hundred members, was being driven to the front by Liao Yufeng!

"Fuquan, go and see where Zuo Lan is? What does he, the Commander of the Embroidered Clothes Guard, do for food?"

People are rushing down the mountain, so what's the use of worrying about it?Lin Shu had no choice but to lead his people back quickly, and joined the main force from the only trail that could go down the mountain.

When he had just rushed down the cliff, Fuquan had already found out the reason for Liao Yufeng's sudden attack.

It turned out that a thousand reinforcements came from the south side of the valley. Zhongshun Wang Gaoyong and his son, who were hunting here, met the Huangling Guard who was coming to help, and they came to support with their own guards.

And Zuo Lan went to the outside of the valley to meet him just now!

As for why Liao Yufeng couldn't wait for a quarter of an hour, it was nothing more than fighting for credit.First there was Zuo Lan, then there was Lin Shu, and now there is another loyal and obedient Wang Gao Yongyong.How much credit can be given to him when these treasures are sent to the palace?

Lin Shu suppressed the anger in his heart, drew out his long knife, and charged forward with his men.In the evening, the light in the valley was extremely poor, and the two sides had already fought together.

When Gao Yongheng led people to the valley, Lin Shu already had several wounds on his body.Fortunately, I found a very good armor when I was in Henan last year, so I didn't get hurt.

With the cooperation of him and Fuquan, almost all the Lin family who were trapped in the enemy army were brought out safely. As for Liao Yufeng, it was already very restrained not to stab him in the waist.

"Withdraw! Hand over the battlefield to the Imperial Tomb Guards!"

With Fuquan's support, Lin Shu led the people back to Gao Yongheng's side on the south side, and said out of breath, "My lord, I will leave this place to you. There are treasures worth tens of millions of taels in this valley..."

silver!Still no less than ten million taels, Gao Yongheng's eyeballs glowed with golden light.If Gao Wanjiang hadn't pulled his father, Gao Yongheng would have already slapped him and killed him.

When a thousand elites enter the battlefield, the balance of victory immediately tilts towards the officers and soldiers.Lin Shu ignored this, and gritted his teeth to ask Fuquan to bandage his wound briefly.

Zuo Lan had already learned what had happened earlier from the mouth of his captain. He came to Lin Shu and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Bachelor Lin, someone was careless. I didn't expect that Liao Yufeng would even touch His Majesty's gold medal." dare to disobey orders.”

Lin Shu chuckled, and said with a sneer: "No wonder Master Zuo, after all, he is the commander and acquaintance of the third-rank imperial mausoleum guards. How can this little Hanlin, who can only dance and write, be looked down upon by others? But he dared to take my Lin family People are being used as cannon fodder, and he must pay the price for being dismissed after this incident!"
