My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 27 Go straight to the lair
Having said this, Qi Jianhui showed a sinister smile on his face.

"Since they only sent 200 people, don't blame me for being rude."

"Zhao Qianhu!"

"Here you are!" A fat military officer stood up hastily.

"Send people into the mountains tonight, find Wang Dahu, and ask him to kill that guy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

"grown ups!"

"Why...isn't it clear what I said?"

"no……"

Zhao Qianhu hurriedly explained: "But...but they are from the front camp. Once they are all lost in the mountains, it might cause a shock in the capital!"

"What a shock!" A sharp light flashed in Qi Jianhui's eyes, "Are there still few officers and soldiers who have been at Erlong Mountain these years?
So what if we lose a few hundred more soldiers from the Beijing camp?
Besides, Wang Dahu and the others dared to rob the princess, so why were they afraid of killing a few more soldiers from the capital? "

Looking at Qi Jianhui with a fierce look on his face, Zhao Qianhu did not dare to say anything and quickly agreed.

In the wild night, snowflakes are flying like goose feathers, dancing in the darkness.The cold wind howled by, bringing a biting chill.

The earth was enveloped in silence, with only the faint sound of snowflakes falling to the ground.

But in addition to the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground, there were also bursts of crunching footsteps in the snow.

Halfway up a mountain, Jia Yu was walking with a group of men along a mountain road with difficulty.

Xie Youyuan, who was out of breath after walking, had a thick layer of frost covering his eyebrows and eyelashes, and he used his sleeve to wipe his nose from time to time.

Unable to bear it anymore, he asked Jia Yu, who was walking at the front, in a hoarse voice: "Captain Jia, are you sure those thieves are really in front?"

"Of course, I'm sure."

"I!"

Xie Youyuan didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't figure out how Jia Yu found the bandit's lair in such a vast mountain.

He turned to look at Wu Yunchun, who gasped and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

At this time, the guide pointed forward and said out of breath: "The adults...the adults...can't go any further, and the little ones won't know the way any further."

"No need to go forward, we're already here."

Jia Yu told everyone: "The team stopped advancing and everyone started to put on their armor and prepare their bows.

Each chief took out the wine he carried and poured a bowl for all the brothers to warm themselves. "

Jia Yu's words were like the final order to launch a general offensive, and all officers and soldiers began to take action.

The soldiers came to the more than ten pack horses behind them and took down heavy packages one by one.

After opening the package, there were sets of thick cotton armor, long bows and arrowheads.

Then they worked in groups of two and started to help each other put on their armor, and soon they finished putting on sets of thick cotton armor.

Finally, they put on the eight-petal iron-pointed helmets, and the two hundred pedestrians who had been trudging along just now turned into a group of murderous sergeants in the blink of an eye.

After doing all this, the twenty commanders took out a bag made of sheepskin from their backs and walked to the soldiers.

Starting from No. 1, he poured half a bowl of wine into the wooden bowls held by the soldiers.

Jia Yu also walked up to the crowd with a wooden bowl and said solemnly: "Brothers, I know everyone has worked hard these days.

But I want to tell everyone that our hard work has not been in vain.

The thieves we are looking for are one mile ahead. Now all the thieves are asleep. All you have to do is follow me and rush into the thieves' lair and cut off their heads.

I still say the same thing, the silver taels seized this time are very thin, I will give [-]% to everyone, and the remaining [-]% will be turned over to the court.As long as this battle is won, everyone will be able to enjoy life and drink with their money when they go back.

Now I have one last question, does anyone want to quit? "

After two seconds of silence, the soldiers all roared: "I am willing to die for your Excellency!"

"Okay... in that case, let's drink this bowl of wine and go do the damn thing together! The day to make great achievements is now!"

"Fuck it!"

The mountains stand coldly in the distance, vast and majestic.

They are like sleeping giants, guarding this wilderness in silence.

The top of the mountain is covered with white snow, like a blanket of silver.

Wearing a suit of iron armor and an iron-pointed helmet with an eight-petal hat, Jia Yu walked in front holding a heavy back knife that was more than four feet long and weighed 26 pounds.

Behind him, there were two hundred soldiers who had just finished drinking a bowl of strong wine. They were aroused by his words, and their minds were filled with soldiers who had been promoted and made fortune.

A quarter of an hour later, when everyone turned around a mountain col, they were all stunned.

Behind this mountain col is a flat valley, which is hundreds of acres wide.

In the valley, dozens of wooden houses stood there quietly, with wisps of dim light shining through from time to time.

Wu Yunchun murmured: "Damn it, I didn't expect that there is such a hidden place in Erlong Mountain. No wonder those thieves have been able to hide in the mountain for so many years."

But there are also many people who are very confused about how their lord found such a hidden place.

As a person involved, Jia Yu also understood the doubts in everyone's hearts, but he did not say anything and did not intend to explain to anyone.

In fact, he discovered this gathering place long before dark through the drone and the infrared imaging detector he carried.

In the ice and snow, as long as people or animals carry heat on their bodies, in front of the infrared imager, they are all torches in the night, and it is difficult not to detect them.

Finding bandit lairs, a problem that has troubled generals who have entered mountains to suppress bandits in recent years, has become an easy task with the help of drones and the infrared imagers they carry.

Now is the time for these elite soldiers to reap the fruits.

It has to be said that thieves are thieves, and there is not a single sentry in the huge valley.

Maybe there is, but years of peace and quiet have made the thieves relax all their vigilance and regard this place as a place where they are happy to live.

When the soldiers lined up in two rows came less than 50 meters away from the wooden houses, Wu Yunchun stretched his hands toward the sky, and everyone stopped immediately.

Xie Youyuan on the other side also shouted: "Light the fire!"

Following the order, several torches filled with kerosene were lit.

Fifty soldiers armed with bows and arrows quickly stepped forward and lit the arrowheads wrapped in cotton cloth and kerosene close to the torch.

"Listen to my command, cock the arrow, and draw the bow!"

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching "creak" sound, the lit arrowheads were pulled away by the archers.

"Target, bandit cabin!"

"Fire arrows!"

The rocket drew a gorgeous and spectacular arc in the air and landed on the wooden houses. The kerosene on the arrowheads quickly flowed to the wooden houses, igniting a sea of ​​​​fire.

Tongues of fire spread quickly, shrouding them in thick smoke and screams.
