Chapter 742: come back victorious
Chapter 742 Victory and Return
The water bandits who had been rampant in the canals of Yingtianfu for two years really set their sights on Ao Huaiyi's grain-carrying ship.
The grain-carrying ship entered Yingtiandijie, and when the ship was docked at a small pier that was not in front of the village or behind the store, some water bandits dived into the bottom of the water, intending to smash the keel of the big ship and take the opportunity to grab food. Ao Huaiyi, who had been prepared for a long time, led Yu Linwei and the Xiang army ambushed on the shore to swarm up, killing and capturing thirteen water bandits.
Seeing this, the water bandit spy who was watching the wind from a tree in the distant mountain forest immediately made a trumpet shape with a hand roll, raised his head to imitately imitate the night owl, and called six times long and short. After hearing a response from the distant mountain forest, the water The bandit scout carefully climbed down the big tree, crawls forward for more than two feet, dived into the river and dived for several miles before going ashore and entering the forest, where he slept in a cave for the night. The next day, the man pretended to be a hunter again, and walked around the mountain for a day with a bow and arrow on his back. After confirming that Ao Huaiyi and the others had gone to Yingtian Mansion, and no one was following and ambushing him, he returned to the bandit den in the mountain at night.
But what he didn't expect was that there were two top secret guards from Kang'an's first-class mansion who had been secretly following him, all the way back to the den of thieves.
After receiving the report from the dark guard, Jiang Ling analyzed, "The commander of the Xiang Army said that the number of these water bandits exceeded one hundred, but the report sent back by the dark guard said that the den of thieves could only accommodate more than thirty people..."
Kang Yueliang immediately said, "Three caves of the cunning rabbit, the water bandits have another lair!"
Jiang Ling nodded, "Brother Kang, it's better for you and me to split our troops..."
Jiang Ling and Kang Yueliang entered the mountain in two separate ways, and Kang Yueliang led people to guard the first nest. Jiang Ling followed the water bandits who continued to enter the mountain and found their second lair. After figuring out the terrain and the distribution of the thieves' troops, Jiang Ling and Kang Yueliang made an appointment to launch an attack at midnight.
Jiang Ling divided his subordinates into three groups, grabbing the commanding heights all the way, and blocking the escape route of the water bandits. He and Jiang Erlang took eight secret guards and entered the bandit cave.
Although he was fully prepared, Jiang Erlang, who followed Jiang Ling into the den of thieves, was still stiff and could not move his arms and thighs. After watching Jiang Ling cut down the three bandits and put them at the mountain gate, Jiang Erlang was stimulated to bleed, shouted and rushed in behind Jiang Ling with a knife.
When he was finally placed in a water bandit, Jiang Ling was nowhere to be found. Jiang Erlang was in a hurry, took the knife and staggered along the Luque Mountain Road and rushed into the depths of the bandit's lair, and finally found Jiang Ling in a courtyard besieged by four fierce water bandits.
Jiang Erlang was about to rush up to support Jiang Ling with a knife, but was stopped by the dark guard. The dark guard is far calmer than Jiang Erlang, reminding Jiang Erlang, "These people are not the opponents of the young master, the second young master, you are still one person away."
He has already killed two water bandits, and he has to capture and kill one more to be eligible for the merit list. Jiang Erlang shouted with a knife in his hand, and chased the thief who escaped from the yard next to him. After he killed two water bandits in a row, he found that there were no thieves running around, and hurriedly returned to the yard where Jiang Ling was besieged. I saw Jiang Ling carrying the knife and stepping over the corpse of the thief and walked out of the room.
"Brother Ling!" Jiang Erlang avoided several corpses and rushed forward and asked, "Are you not injured?"
"No." Jiang Ling immediately ordered, "The thief has fled, Ban Dashan led people to search the secret passage, Huyantu went to interrogate the two women in the house, and Jiang Cai immediately sent a letter to the people in ambush outside."
"Yes!" Everyone obeyed the order.
Seeing Jiang Ling's chilling face and the attitude of desperate Saburo, Jiang Erlang patted his shoulder worriedly, but found that his hands were sticky. He raised his palm and looked at it by the firelight, and found that his hands were covered in blood!
Before Jiang Erlang could ask a question, Jiang Ling replied, "I'm not injured."
So these are the blood of thieves? Jiang Erlang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Ling with wide eyes. Because he was wearing black night clothes, Jiang Erlang couldn't tell how much blood Jiang Ling had on his body, but his blood-stained hands and long knife still shocked Jiang Erlang, and whispered, "Brother Ling is tired, you first..."
"Master—" Huyantu's voice came from the room, "There is a secret passage under the bed in this room!"
"Second brother will lead someone to count the bodies and belongings of the water bandits in the village, and rescue the women in the low mountain to the west. I will go and catch the bandit leader Huang Loach!" Go after the thieves.
Looking at the **** footprints Jiang Ling left behind, Jiang Erlang's pupils shrank, and he led people to the low mountain to the west. In his opinion, saving people was more important than counting corpses and belongings.
After removing the three corpses at the entrance of the dungeon, Jiang Erlang raised a torch and a knife, and led people into the pungent-smelling mountain cave, and found that there were prison cells with wooden bars one by one, and there were many prisoners in the cells. body, expression or numbness or panic. Jiang Erlang subconsciously closed his eyes and turned around, not daring to look again.
Only when he saw these people did he understand why Jiang Ling's killing was red-eyed, and the knife was killing him. wrong! Those are not people, they are beasts!
Jiang Erlang trembled and ordered, "Send one person to guard the entrance of the cave, and two people to find clothes, water and food to bring in, let them wash, change clothes, and eat."
After the sky was bright, Kang Yueliang brought people to support him. Hearing Jiang Ling going after the bandit leader, Kang Yueliang shook his head disapprovingly, "Don't chase after the poor bandits, but it's too late to say anything now, how is the situation here?"
Jiang Erlang replied, "A total of 43 water bandits were killed and 21 captured alive... Thirty-six imprisoned women were rescued from the mountain prison, but after they were rescued, four committed suicide by hitting their heads against rocks."
Kang Yueliang couldn't believe his ears, "What did you say? Four people were rescued, but instead they committed suicide by hitting a rock?"
Jiang Erlang couldn't go on anymore, pointed to the cross courtyard next to him and said, "They are in the courtyard, you can go and see for yourself."
Kang Yueliang went in and looked around, and when he came out, he gritted his teeth and said, "If Jiangling can't catch the bandit leader, let's go back and transfer troops immediately, even if the mountains here are turned upside down, we will also take out that beast named Huang Loach. cut!"
In the evening of the second day, when Ao Huaiyi took Yu Linwei into the mountain, Jiang Ling had not returned yet, Jiang Erlang was so flustered, Ao Huaiyi scattered all the people who could be cast out, and searched all night.
On the third day, the sky was bright, Jiang Ling returned with the bandit leader, and everyone cheered in unison.
After Jiang Ling made an appointment with Ao Huaiyi, he walked in front of Kang Yueliang and Jiang Erlang. Seeing the worried expression on his second brother's face, he smiled and said, "It's still a miscalculation. I should be like a foster father, and let Jiang Cai take it with me at all times. It's okay to have two replacement robes."
Kang Yueliang laughed when he heard the words, and Jiang Erlang couldn't help laughing with tears.
Yu Linwei went south to suppress the water bandits, killing and capturing a total of 123 water bandits. Jiang Ling captured the bandit leader and made a great contribution. Kang Yueliang killed fifteen water bandits and Jiang Erlang killed four. Please be on the table. The good news came back to Kang'an, the Jiang family was overjoyed, and Jiang Erye held a banquet for three consecutive days in the Baiwei Building, calling friends and friends, and celebrating.
After Huyantu, Lu Dingyun and others returned to the mansion, Jiang Liu let go of his dangling heart after learning from Huyantu that his brother was not injured.
It's great, brother played beautifully in this battle!
On June 30, Jiang Ling and Jiang Erlang returned to Jiang Mansion from Yulinwei Camp. Jiang Liu, who was waiting at the gate of the mansion, saw the scabs on his brother's face and neck, and he was so distressed that he could not wait to copy a stick and beat Huyantu immediately!
Nima! My brother has been injured like this, and you said he was not injured!
Seeing this picture of Huyan hiding behind the persimmon tree outside the house, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.
