North of Yancheng, on a big tree outside Guojia Town, a strong guard was standing on the tree looking back and forth. Another row of torches in the distance was approaching Guojia Town.
A big savage-like man in the torch team said in the Jie language: "Move quickly and stay in the town ahead tonight."
These Jie people cross mountains and ridges to enter Yancheng every year to rob and rob homes, so they are already familiar with the distribution of villages in Yancheng. Where are there large villages, where are small villages, and where are the villages abandoned? We all know it clearly.
These Jie people did not bring a lot of supplies before coming, not even a marching tent. A wool blanket per person can spend the night in the cold night. Of course, when they encounter a village, they will not be stupid enough to freeze in the cold wilderness. , so even though it is getting dark now, knowing that there are villages and towns not far ahead, I still decide to walk a little further and spend the night in the village. If I can catch a few Han women, I can also have a good time. .
The leader of the Jie tribe kept telling the young Jie tribe soldiers how they enjoyed those Han women. After enjoying them, they slaughtered them and steamed them in a pot. The meat was even better than the fattest cattle and sheep on the grassland. Be fresh and tender. A group of young Jie tribe soldiers drooled after hearing this. In their eyes, Han people are like prey that can be played with and killed at will. The taste of blood can make them more excited. However, what they didn't know was that what was waiting for them there was not a beautiful Han woman, but a sharp steel knife.
While observing the arrival of the Jie tribe, Lu Biao asked his brothers in the escort to hide the horses not far away on the other side of the village, while he and his men quietly hid in the dark.
When the Jie people approached the village, to their disappointment, the entire village was dark without any lights. The leader of the Jie tribe couldn't help but said in disappointment: "It seems that this village has been abandoned for a while, and there are no women to enjoy it tonight. You guys go in and investigate and see what's going on in the village."
After hearing the leader's order, several Jie soldiers immediately marched toward the village with their horses under their backs. The soldiers held torches and conducted a rough exploration of the village.
"Reporting to the leader, this village has been abandoned. There is no one in the village, and many houses are dilapidated."
"We'll spend the night here tonight. Brothers, have a good day's rest. Tomorrow, my leader will take you to officially start hunting, hahaha," the Jie clan man said loudly.
The Jie soldiers cheered for a while, and then they started looking for better houses in the village in small groups. Because they were in a hurry, these Jie soldiers had not had dinner yet. After a while, many bonfires were lit in various parts of the village. , the Jie soldiers gathered around the campfire, eating barbecue and drinking kumiss. The aroma of meat gradually dissipated, and Lu Biao and others who were hiding in the darkness also smelled the aroma of meat.
Lu Biao couldn't help but curse in his heart: Wait a minute, I will let you die and you won't know how.
After drinking and eating, the Jie tribe gradually fell into sleep, leaving only a few people standing guard on the street. Obviously, the continuous rush made these soldiers a little tired. Even when they were on guard, they just gathered around the campfire to keep warm. , didn’t even bother to pay attention to what was going on around him.
After midnight, the snoring of the Jie tribe could be heard far away. Lu Biao felt that the time was almost up, so he made a few "ZhiZhiZhi" sounds, and the same sound came from the dark corner. Several brothers strung their crossbows and quietly emerged from the dark corner.
Beside the fire not far away, several soldiers on guard had already rolled their eyes. Lu Biao made several gestures to several guard brothers holding crossbows, and determined the shooting targets for each of them. Several guard brothers Move forward quietly.
"Puff, puff, puff!" Several crossbow arrows shot into the necks of the sentry Jie soldiers. Several soldiers woke up from their naps in panic, but no sound came out of their mouths. Their faces were distorted with frightened expressions. , after just a moment of struggle, there was no sound, only streams of blood gushing out from his throat.
When Lu Biao saw this, he issued an order. All the brothers from the escort army and the transport team were dispatched and quietly marched towards the courtyard of the house where the Jie people were sleeping. Inside the house lay the Jie people, brothers from the escort army and the transport team. The brothers covered the enemy's mouth with one hand, held a knife in the other, and wiped the Jie tribesman's throat hard. Blood spurted out along the knife edge and sprayed on the wall. House after house, many people's faces and bodies were covered with the blood of the Jie people. They were like ghosts seeking their lives, passing by silently.
After several brothers from the transport team committed the murder, they couldn't resist the fear and started vomiting heavily. Upon seeing this, the brothers in the escort quickly blocked their mouths with their hands, fearing that they would wake up the Jie people next door. After muttering a few words in a low voice, they allowed them to stay for the time being.
About a quarter of an hour later, all the brothers from the escort army appeared on the street. Lu Biao looked around at all the brothers and asked softly: "Everyone has been solved?"
"Back to the Army, everything was resolved, but a few brothers were so scared that they collapsed to the ground."
"Hahaha, take the brothers to check them out, and chop them all off. Whoever vomits will be chopped into pieces. Without blood, they will never grow." Lu Biao ordered.
This time, everyone did not act quietly. Instead, they lit torches and rushed into the house, asking the trembling brothers who were so frightened that they vomited and trembled with knives to chop off people's heads. Lu Biao was right, only those who had actually wielded a sword would Only those who have seen blood can grow up. Only by overcoming fear can you win. Otherwise, when we meet on the battlefield in the future, fear will be your biggest weakness. The enemy will never be merciful because of your fear.
Looking at the ferocious-looking Bai Maojie tribesmen, each of them staring with eyes wide open, the hands of several brothers in the transport team were still trembling.
One of the guard brothers yelled: "What are you afraid of? They are all dead, and they will kill their mother, like me."
As he spoke, the guard brother slashed at the neck of a Jie tribesman. With a pop, blood spattered, slapping the guard in the face. The brothers in the escort army raised the head of the Jie tribe and handed it to several brothers in the transport team. Several people subconsciously wanted to run out, but they were blocked by several guards brothers behind them holding knives.
"What are you afraid of? Go up and chop off their heads. Only in this way can you avenge the people of Yancheng. Go quickly."
Under the pressure of the escort, several people had no choice but to bravely step forward and suddenly slashed at the Jie tribesman's neck with their eyes closed.
Several guards brothers couldn't help laughing when they saw this: "Hahaha, look at how cowardly you are, men should be like this, just to let the Jie people know that we are not easy to bully. Pick up the head and leave."
More than 300 heads were quickly gathered on the street, wrapped in Jie people's wool blankets, and loaded onto horses.
"Brothers, take the horses and go back to Yancheng. Hahahaha" Lu Biao roared.
"Yes! Go back to Yancheng." Everyone said in unison, and everyone went to get their horses and marched towards Yancheng overnight.
At the same time, in Prince Yan's palace, Zhao Bin did not fall asleep. Cao Li, He Miao, Yang Guangtai and others also gathered in the meeting hall, and everyone was waiting for news from Lu Biao.
"Your Majesty, why don't I serve you and rest first? I'll let you know when they come back." Cui'er said with concern from the side.
"No need, the results should be available soon. Let the kitchen get some food for everyone." Zhao Bin said.
"It's the prince." Cui'er responded and turned around and walked towards the dining room.
"Report!" As soon as Cui'er left the front hall, she heard the sound of a victory announcement coming from outside the house.
"Report to your lord, Captain Zhou and Wei are back." A guard ran into the front hall and knelt down on one knee.
"Let them in quickly."
A moment later, Zhou Hu and Wei Xiang, who were covered in blood, strode into the front hall. They knelt on one knee. Zhou Hu said: "Your Majesty, most of the two Jie tribe cavalry who were plundering from the west and south were killed. Killed, only one person escaped.”
Everyone in the hall suddenly shouted when they heard that almost all the two Jie tribe cavalry had been killed.
"Hahaha, get up quickly." Zhao Bin helped the two of them up, "Here, take off your armor!"
Xiao Chu and Wang Wu immediately stepped forward to help Zhou Hu and Wei Xiang remove their armor!
Wang Wu teased with an envious look on his face: "Old Wei, you're a good boy!"
"Hehe, thanks to the suit of armor that the prince rewarded me with, otherwise I would have had to answer today! It's a pity that the damage to the armor is a bit serious."
"Hahaha, I'll give you another one later," Zhao Bin said from the side.
"Hahaha, thank you so much, Your Majesty."
On the other side, Xiao Chu was helping Zhou Hu take off his armor. "I'm ready to lead you!"
Xiao Chu smiled and replied: "Hahaha, you have made a great contribution, so I, the commander, should disarm you."
Then the two of them described what happened today in detail to everyone. When it was mentioned that several of the escort brothers were injured, Zhao Bin felt heartbroken for a moment. He only had a few hundred people, and one of them was injured. Wang Wu was immediately asked to take two imperial doctors rewarded by the emperor to treat several brothers.
Cui'er led someone to bring the supper into the front hall. Zhou Hu and Zhou Hu were already so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, and they immediately devoured it. At about dawn, Lu Biao led a team back to Yancheng. At this time, everyone in the front hall was already sleeping in the hall. Cui'er took a thick blanket and covered Zhao Bin.
"Report, the Army is back, the Army is back!" A guard yelled and ran in from the door.
Cui'er whispered to the escort: "Keep your voice down, the prince has just fallen asleep."
But it was too late, Zhao Bin was still woken up by the voice.
The escort looked at Zhao Bin with an embarrassed look: "Your Majesty, the Army and the others are back. They brought back more than 300 heads."
"Oh? Let him in quickly."
"yes!"
Lu Biao walked into the hall, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Biao is back, and all three hundred enemy troops have been wiped out!"
When Zhao Bin heard another piece of good news, the sleepiness on his face disappeared. He took two steps forward to help Lu Biao up, patted Lu Biao's shoulder heavily and said, "Hahaha, great, come and sit down." explain."
At this time, others were also awakened by the sound of the two talking. Lu Biao told the story in detail.
Cao Li praised: "The army is really wise and brave!"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, you don't have to waste a single soldier, you are unparalleled in wisdom and bravery," He Miao also echoed from the side.
"Hahaha, you two adults have given me the award."
Cao Li said excitedly, "We are not giving a reward, I am telling the truth. This Yancheng has not had such a victory in many years. Your Majesty, this matter should be announced to the people of the city."
"It's up to you!" Zhao Bin said with an indifferent expression.
"Yes, that humble official will immediately write an announcement and post it at the notice office, so that the people in the whole city will be happy."
"Okay, everyone has been busy all day and night, so you should go back and rest first. When you have rested, we will talk about the next thing."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed and left. Cui'er and Zhao Bin walked to the backyard. After Wang Wu glanced at it, he also returned to his room.
