Chapter 294: Destroying Assassins 2
Chapter 294: Suppression of Assassins 2
Perhaps because of the relationship between Jiang Lang and Jiang Chengzhi, the prefect's efficiency suddenly increased. Not only did he order five hundred people that night, but he also prepared medicinal materials, dry food, etc. The next morning, the prefect came to the inn directly with a look of fatigue.
Now this time is the time for Qian Zhengbang and others to practice morning exercises. This is a habit. Except for during the war, they will train according to their habits. After learning that the magistrate came to the post station, Qian Zhengbang and Wu Qiong hurried out. The magistrate, who was tired, was waiting and hurriedly greeted him. After saying hello, the magistrate went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Wu, Guard Qian, these 500 people, and 800 people have already prepared dry food. I wonder when I will set off?"
Qian Zhengbang did not expect that the prefect would move so quickly. He looked at Wu Qiong, and then said, "The prefect has prepared everything, so we will not delay it. Let's set off immediately now! Please wait!"
The prefect nodded and agreed, and Qian Zhengbang immediately ordered his troops and then went straight to the defending camp of Dali Prefecture. Five hundred troops were already waiting there, and these people were still relatively strong. This shows that the prefect had indeed taken some effort to select these people, so Qian Zhengbang and others naturally thanked the prefect quickly.
There were not so many war horses in Dali Prefecture. Although Qian Zhengbang and others had horses, they saw that none of the five hundred people were riding horses, and it was not convenient for him to wait for him, so they left the horses in Dali Prefecture and walked straight to the outside of the city.
There are mostly jungles in Yunnan, but there is no flat road to walk. It is easy to get out of the city gate. The rugged mountain road is not easy to walk.
The people selected by the prefect were naturally carefully selected, otherwise they would have outstanding skills and good health. They were able to go hand in hand with Qian Zhengbang and others a while ago to keep up with Qian Zhengbang and others. However, after a while, the gap between training and no training emerged. Whether in terms of endurance, physical strength, or perseverance, the difference between the two was not close. Gradually, the five hundred people selected by the prefect showed fatigue and could not keep up with the pace. It was still Jiang Chengzhi's cleverness. He knew that all the people under Jianglang were not mediocre and did not want to embarrass his soldiers in front of these people. So the people sent out to reconnaissance were also elites among the Jinyiwei, so they could still keep up with this speed.
Wu Qiong turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him who were already showing signs of fatigue, and said to Qian Zhengbang: "Brother Qian, let's take a rest first, the soldiers can't bear it!"
Qian Zhengbang was stunned and said strangely: "I haven't walked for long, why can't I bear it?"
Wu Qiong smiled awkwardly and said, "The magistrate is very nice. All the people selected are strong, but they are still much worse than you. You don't feel tired, but for them, they can't stand it."
Qian Zhengbang couldn't help looking back, and saw that many of the five hundred people showed fatigue. Seeing that the vast mountains around him were still at the end, he sighed in his heart and said, "Okay, let's rest on the spot." Then he also found a stone and sat down.
Wu Qiong nodded and asked his soldiers to convey Qian Zhengbang's orders. Then he sat next to Qian Zhengbang, handed the water in his hand to Qian Zhengbang, and said, "Let's have some water first."
Qian Zhengbang nodded and whispered helplessly: "I really don't know what lord is thinking. It's enough for us to go to 300 people. Why do we have to drag these people on?"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank water.
Wu Qiong smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know what the factory governor thought, but he actually gave up his priest and asked the prefect to send troops. Of course, these people naturally have no way to compare with you. But they all came, so you can't tell them to go back."
Qian Zhengbang shook his head helplessly and said, "That's right, just wait, just slower, as long as you can complete the task!"
Wu Qiong nodded and looked around and saw that there was no one, then said, "The commander only ordered me to lead you, but he did not tell me what to do after I arrived. Should I catch the assassins back?"
"That's not necessary!"
Qian Zhengbang shook his head slightly and said lightly: "These people don't need to be arrested anymore. The court does not have the energy to interrogate now!"
Wu Qiong couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, his face changed slightly, and he said, "What do you mean..."
Qian Zhengbang nodded and said, "Let us do this. If you have time, Lord Wu will keep his exit and don't let those people run away!"
Wu Qiong had nothing else to say now, so he could only nod and agree.
After a while of rest, everyone set off again. After all, this mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is also a jungle. Fortunately, I prepared in advance and brought medicinal materials, which saved a lot of trouble. After two days of travel, I finally arrived at the foot of a mountain. The mountain was full of cliffs, and there was only one small path that could lead to the mountain. It was indeed easy to attack.
Qian Zhengbang and others are now hiding in the jungle at the foot of the mountain, while Wu Qiong took out a picture and spread it on the ground. At this time, a terrain map was a completely different picture.
Wu Qiong pointed to the map and said, "The thief's nest is halfway up the mountain. Now there is no other way to go except the front road. This road is very narrow and can accommodate three people in parallel. Moreover, according to our observation, there are many crossbowmen guards along the way, which can be regarded as a one-man guard, and no one can open! If a strong attack is made, a lot of people will be lost. I think the factory supervisor has to transfer these people. Is this the same thing? Maybe he had expected this situation a long time ago?"
"I don't know this!"
Qian Zhengbang said lightly, looked at the picture carefully, and looked at the mountain in front of him. As Wu Qiong said, it was a terrain where one man was the pass and ten thousand people could not open. Moreover, the enemy was on it, and the bows and crossbows were all the advantages. If you use those five hundred people to take the lead, there would be no problem in capturing it, but it would lose a lot of people. Although he was not his brother, Qian Zhengbang did not plan to do this.
After thinking about it, he looked up and said, "Go and invite those two people!"
The person next to him nodded, and soon the assassin's second and fourth brothers were called over. Qian Zhengbang pointed to the mountain in front and asked, "I wonder if there is any other way to go up the mountain?"
The assassin's second son shook his head and said, "There is only one road to go up the mountain. There are no other roads to choose from, and the road is full of crossbowmen!"
This was the same as Wu Qiong said, and it seemed that it was true. Qian Zhengbang couldn't help but ponder, looked up at the mountain opposite, and suddenly asked, "I don't know what the terrain behind this mountain?"
The assassin's second child was a little surprised and then said, "There is a cliff behind this, but you can climb it. But even if you climb it up, you can't get down. There is no place to settle on the top of the mountain."
“Climb.”
Qian Zhengbang whispered, then asked again: "Can those crossbowmen change their guards at night?"
The assassin's second son shook his head and said, "There is no change of guards. The terrain here is dangerous and extremely hidden. Ordinary people can't find it, and even if they find it, they can't get up. Therefore, this guard has a group of people during the day and a group of people at night, and he doesn't change his guards in the middle."
"very good!"
Qian Zhengbang nodded, already had an idea in his mind, turned to Wu Qiong and said, "Just like the original plan, please help Lord Wu to defend the exit. Just leave this matter of attacking the mountain to us."
Wu Qiong couldn't help but be stunned and said strangely: "How do you plan to attack the mountain?"
Qian Zhengbang did not answer him, but said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, Qian has a measure in his heart. Lord Wu just needs to keep the exit to prevent the thieves from escaping. If nothing unexpected happens, we can conquer this mountain tomorrow morning."
Seeing that Qian Zhengbang didn't say anything, Wu Qiong couldn't ask again, and bowed and said, "Take care!"
Qian Zhengbang bowed his hand and said to the assassin's second and fourth brothers: "Wait again, wait until we capture this mountain, and the promise of the factory governor will naturally be fulfilled!"
The assassin's second and fourth brother quickly bowed and agreed.
Qian Zhengbang waved his hand, and three hundred people immediately followed him, and then covered the trees and sneaked to the back of the mountain. Without much use, he came to the back of the mountain. He saw the assassin's second son said, although it was steep, but he could climb. Qian Zhengbang's heart was relieved and ordered: "Collection of the bark on the spot, and then weave it into ropes. Remember, you must make it explain, which may affect the lives of the brothers."
