Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 161

The goshawk flew under the clouds, the feathers on its neck fluttered in the air current, and then a wing flew out towards the distant hills, and descended abruptly.

From south to north, a team of more than a thousand people was marching. When the wind blew over, the big banner with the word Liangshan was erected, hunting in the cold wind.

In the team, several burly men in neat attire were gathering together, their horned helmets facing the sky gleamed with metal light: "This is the boundary of the Weisheng Army, right? I didn't expect there to be so many mountains."

"We haven't reached the Weisheng army yet, but it's almost there." Mie Gong was wearing some old armor, touched the funeral sword, and his face was quite excited: "There are more mountains in the Weisheng army, which is Wanshan. Surrounding the gathering place, there are many good men who roar together in the mountains and forests."

"How many?" Du Po, who was wearing a blue dragon chain mail and a blue dragon howling sky helmet, turned his head.

Nie Gong shook his head: "It's hard to say. I heard about 5000 people a while ago, but I don't know about it recently."

"No matter how many people there are, it will not be more difficult to fight than those two routes of officers and soldiers." Bian Xiang took off the horn helmet, held it in his wide palm, threw it in his hand and put it on again. Is it possible that the entire army can be equipped with armor like the Song army?"

"How is it possible?" Mie Gong shrugged his shoulders: "That guy is relying on the large number of people, after all, the place of Wei Shengjun is really poor."

The marching team walked all the way along the periphery of Longde Mansion, passing through two or three mountains. It's not that there are no heroes on the mountain who have the idea of ​​attacking this team, but if they don't see the horse army backing down, or rushing When he came up, he was split into two by the angry Liu Yuan.For this reason, there are one or two hundred newcomers who surrendered in the team. Just looking at the food on his face, one can't help but suspect that he surrendered because he was crazy hungry.

Ahead, the horse's hooves were stepping on the frozen ground, walking freely, and there was the sound of talking.

"What is brother thinking?" Qiao Lie looked at Lu Bu who was in a daze, a little strange, he hadn't seen his brother like this for a long time.

Lu Bu turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, but said bluntly: "I'm thinking about my hometown."

A smile appeared on his face: "After entering this Longde mansion, we are already close to a certain hometown, but I haven't seen the scenery of my home for a long time."

Qiao Lie's body rose and fell with the horse, and when he heard the words, he mistakenly thought that he was talking about the Liao Kingdom, so he smiled immediately: "Then after the matter is over, brother, go back to your hometown and have a look?"

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I won't go, no one is here anymore, I won't go..."

After a short pause: "Let's talk about it later when we have a chance, the important thing is now."

Qiao Lie nodded and said, "Since that's the case, after the business is done, Pindao will go back to his hometown to find his old friend, and we will go back to the village together."

"Follow you." Lu Bu waved his hand, looked at the surrounding scenery, and straightened his back: "The order—"

Raise the whip slightly: "Order Bian Xiang and Liu Yuan to lead fifty cavalry to explore the road first, find the location of the enemy's stronghold, and ask where Tian Hu is!"

"Decree!" The two people behind who were talking hurriedly agreed, and Bian Xiang laughed, and galloped forward: "Finally, I have something to do. I have been strangled to death by marching all day."

He cupped his hands at Lu Bu and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely live up to expectations."

Liu Yuan on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Remember." Lu Bu glanced at the two of them: "If you encounter each other, if there are few people, eat them and take them back alive;

"Yes--"

The hooves of the horses moved, and with the sound of yelling, more than a hundred cavalry urged the horses, and gradually moved away with the horned helmets in front of them.

……

The sun began to slant, and the warmth of noon disappeared. In a manor near Qinyuan County, killing, shouting, crying, and wild laughter staged a grand robbery.

Strong men with knives hacked to death the farmer who resisted with hoes and sticks, and someone carried a woman and ran to a side room. After a while, there were cries of women and rampant laughter of thieves, and more thieves rushed into the hall, hugging each other. He ran out with a vase one person tall.

Xue Shi walked out of the house with a big knife on his shoulder, threw the imitation Tang flower and bird mirror in his hand on the ground, and said with a big mouth: "Qinyuan is really poor."

"That's right." Hu Ying stepped out behind her, her two knives tied into an "X" shape on her back: "I've been robbed by my brother a few times around, and I should go to Jinzhou or Taiyuan if I want to find something to eat."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to run so far." Xue Shi looked around at the people who were searching, and then looked at the sky: "Hurry up, I still want to go back to have a warm meal at night, so be careful when you're dawdling." Eating dry food outside."

"Oh--"

Seeing the urging from the leader of the cottage, a group of people had to speed up. They had the wonderful feeling that they wanted to be happy with the woman and were reluctant to leave immediately. But they didn't practice martial arts diligently on weekdays, so they broke into the city gate single-handedly. , and then he was attacked from both sides, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and he had to collapse thousands of miles, leaving countless lives in vain. He had to kill the woman with a face that saw through the world, and then walked out the door with his head bowed and his armor drooping.

"Let's go~" Hu Ying looked at the loading of the car, and saw those minions who turned their heads to look into the room frequently, she pouted: "Nothing, just a bunch of rough-handed peasant women."

"Come on, these little bastards are usually very depressed. Seeing the peasant woman Zhemo is no different from seeing Diji." Xue Shi patted his arm: "Let's go first, fortunately, the journey back to the mountain is not far away. .”

"Next time, I will go to Taiyuan Mansion to find a flower house to play for a few nights." Hu Ying swallowed: "You don't know those young ladies, tsk tsk, their skin is so tender."

"Let's go together when you have time." Xue Shi put on a wretched smile, and walked out with Hu Ying and his shoulders crossed.

A minion lit a torch and threw it on the wooden house. There was a crackling sound, and the flames spread with thick smoke, and several black dragons jumped into the sky.

……

Bian Xiang and Liu Yuan, who were located in the southeast, were looking for an open space to rest, so that the horses could recover their legs, and they could eat something to let them rest.

They were discussing where to go to find someone to ask where the Shiti Mountain was, when they heard footsteps coming, the two turned their heads to look, and saw that it was a spy on a high place, and both of them couldn't help but become alert.

"Report—black smoke was seen rising in the distance, it seems that someone set fire."

Bian Xiang and Liu Yuan looked at each other: "You can see where it is."

The scout shook his head: "There are trees blocking it. I don't know where it is. It's only in the northwest direction. There should be a lot of smoke columns."

"Go and have a look." Bian Xiang stood up and put the horned helmet on his head: "I might know where that Tianhu is."

Liu Yuan stood up leaning on the tiger-tooth long knife, and put on the bright silver helmet: "What brother said is, maybe it's Tian Hu's food borrowing team."

"Get up, let's go—"

Amidst the roar, Liangshan's horsemen got up and ran towards the horses one after another. Then the hoofs of the horses flew, and the muffled sound with rhythm gradually faded away.

……

The light flickers on and off along with the running clouds, the looting team walks loosely on the road and makes a lot of noise, no little boss comes out to stop it, and no leader has any opinion about it, he waits in the front and middle to walk, it is also presumptuous Very quickly, Xue Shi even threw the knife to the minion next to him to take it, and with his own empty hand, he took the two looted silver coins and plated them around in one hand.

Hu Ying next to him was holding a pair of knives, but she was admiring a Jade Buddha in her arms. After looking at it carefully for a while, she threw the Jade Buddha into the arms of the next one.

"What's wrong?" Xue Shi tilted his head a little strangely, this old man loves beautiful jade the most, every time he gets something, he has to play with it for a long time, why did he just throw it away after a few glances today.

Hu Ying squinted at him, and hummed, "It's not a very good jade. Sure enough, the Wei Sheng army can't grab any very good jade."

"It's still good to be in the city." Xue Shi licked his lips: "I just don't know when Big Brother Tian will take us to break the state capital."

"It's too soon, we already have a lot of people joining the group. I heard from my brother that Brother Tian means that if there are more people, we will fight Tongda County."

"How long is that..."

The next moment, the muffled thunder rang in his ears, and Xue Shi looked up at the sky: "Thunder starts in broad daylight?"

"It's very unusual to hit two thunderbolts."

"That's right..." Xue Shi nodded, and heard the voice gradually approaching in his ears: "Is Lei Zensheng getting closer?"

Hu Ying stopped, and Xue Shi saw that he stopped, so he stopped. The two listened for a moment, and at a certain moment, they raised their heads at the same time: "It's a war horse! (Sound of hooves!)"

"Brother Tian sent someone over?" Hu Ying scratched her head.

Xue Shi was not at all nervous: "It's Niu Wenzhong again. If you take this road, you will either go to Jinzhou or the farther Xizhou."

"Do you want to go to Jinzhou with that guy?" Hu Ying licked her lips: "There are few times when you go there, and you are quite rich."

"Then let him let some horses come out when he comes." Xue Shi smiled sinisterly: "If you don't cooperate, tell Brother Tian and let him take care of this Niu."

The roar of horseshoes became louder, and at the corner of the woods, a group of horse troops galloped out. The crimson figure came into the eyes of the two of them far away, and the sinister smile on the corners of their mouths disappeared, and their expressions changed greatly: "Song Army cavalry——"

The terrified cry came out, and the looting team immediately became a mess. Some people took out their tools and stepped forward, while others threw away their belongings and ran away.

Xue Shi stretched out his hand and scratched to the side twice to catch nothing. He turned his head and saw that the minion who was holding his knife had already ran a hundred meters away, and he couldn't help shouting: "Zheng Niang! Come back! My knife!" !"

whoosh-

The scream of the arrow sounded, and it hit a minion nearby with a "poof", and the arrow that came out of the body splashed a few drops of blood on Xue Shi's face. He turned his face slightly, and his pupils reflected A strong man with a horn helmet and a strong bow shaped like a full moon in his hand.

"Find a weapon!" Hu Ying pushed Xue Shi, and at the same time as he pushed Xue Shi, the arrow shot past Xue Shicai's body with a screaming sound. cold sweat.

"He didn't wait for many people, and they all stepped forward to fight with the Song army!" Hu Ying didn't look at Xue Shi who was staggering to pick up the weapon: "This place is wide, and I can't run away from them. One is enough to die, and two are to die. Earn one, kill!"

Footsteps sounded, and the standing thugs charged in the opposite direction.

……

"kill--"

Liu Yuan in crimson military uniform roared loudly in front, and then Bian Xiang, wearing a horn helmet, put away his strong bow and swung his big axe: "Throw the ax for three rounds, throw—"

Amid the sound of piercing the air, the spinning ax was thrown, and it was slashed on the face of the thief in the desperate eyes. The sharp and long blade of the ax pierced the flesh and was firmly embedded in the bones. Countless figures couldn't even scream. He fell down and died.

Immediately, the cavalry stopped throwing, drew out his saber, and slashed fiercely at the people who were still standing. Blood waves spread, and the fragmented corpses that had been cut fell to the ground.

"Song Jun! I'll marry your mother!"

Hu Ying threw the flying axe, and then watched in despair as more axes were thrown from the horsemen. She dodged from left to right, and a horse passed by. The skin was broken, the blood vessel was cut open, the skin penetrated into the flesh and came out again, warm blood splashed, the man with the two knives was picked up into the air by someone with the knife, and then flew to the ground, the horse's hoof suddenly stepped down, Half of the face was crushed by the strong force, and then more horses ran past, and the tattered body was spread on the ground like mud.

"Hu Ying!"

Xue Shi roared, but he didn't dare to turn around and go back to take revenge. He took the simple knife he picked up and ran towards the side desperately. A cavalry approached and swung it down, but he blocked it with a knife, and then he pulled off the horse. Taking the opportunity to get on the horse, might as well a burly figure wearing a horned helmet appeared beside him, and the mountain-breaking ax that was a size bigger came over with the sound of howling wind.

"Dog thief—"

Amidst the desperate roar, the strong man turned sideways to defend with his knife, and was hit by the axe. He flew upside down, fell to the ground with a bang, and drew a distance of more than ten feet backwards, moaning and unable to get up.

"Caught alive!"

Amidst the roar, the cavalry pawns turned their swords over one after another, urged their horses to catch up with the fleeing bandits, and knocked them to the ground with the back of their swords.

"Brother Bian, you've gained a lot." Liu Yuan flicked the blood on the Huya long knife, and his eyes lit up when he looked at the captured survivor.

"Interrogate them separately first. If you know where the Tian Hu is, take one of them back to your brother. If you don't know, kill them all and keep looking." In the ferocious words, the big man with a dusty face reined in the horse and let it go. Slowly walked to Xue Shi's side, reined in, and kicked off the horse.

Bian Xiang smiled grimly at Xue Shi, who was clutching one shoulder and moaning, and leaned down to pull him up: "Cuo Niao! You can answer whatever I ask later, do you understand?"

"Ah... ah..." Xue Shi moaned twice, opened his eyes for a long time before focusing on Bian Xiang's face: "Dog... dog officer, what do you want to ask?"

"Heh, I'm not a shitty official." Bian Xiang held the man up in the air with one hand clutching his collar: "Where is that fellow Tian Hu's lair?"

"Heh..." Panting, the eyes of the man who was held up in the air were wide open, and the sound shook the whole field: "I... I am not the one who betrayed my friends!"

"How courageous!" Bian Xiang grinned, "I hope your bones and your mouth..."

"But Tian Hu is not my partner, I will take you there." The tough guy's image collapsed, and the man in midair squeezed out a flattering smile.

Bian Xiang: "..."

Under the sky, the screams of dying sounded, and then a group of horse troops roughly cleaned the battlefield, and walked away with the spoils of war.

……

Lu Bu and the others walked along the main road, and the newly captured infantry were taught by the leader of Liangshan to obey the command on the battlefield from time to time, and they lined up in a line when they left. After talking about it, it is unclear whether these people sincerely took refuge in it, or they obeyed the command when they had something to eat. One by one very seriously.

As the sun moved westward, at a certain moment, the sound of hoofbeats sounded in front of them. The swift-responsive Liangshan horse army made a vigilant gesture, and did not relax until they saw a familiar figure.

Not long after, Xue Shi, the only one alive, spoke out.

"Got you!"

Standing up in a cloak, Lu Bu showed a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
