It was already late at night, but the lights of the Flying Eagle Club were still brightly lit. Following Yue Tianpeng's orders, several bandits from Fuhu Village had been lying on a high ground, observing every move in the village.
"Your Majesty, the situation in the Flying Eagle Club last night was a bit strange. All night long, you could only hear the sound of "dong-dong", and the patrolling soldiers stood still without moving." When these bandits responsible for investigating the situation reported the news to Yue Tianpeng , Yue Tianpeng looked confused, wondering what these guys in the Flying Eagle Society were doing.
At dawn the next day, Yue Tianpeng led the bandits from Fuhu Village to Feiyinghuishan in front, preparing to attack the village.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived in front of the cottage, they found that there was no one outside the gate of Feiyinghui cottage. Looking from a distance, it seemed that there were several figures on the wall of the cottage, but those figures were like sculptures and had not moved.
This situation made Yue Tianpeng very puzzled. He led his people closer to Feiyinghui Village. Only then did he see clearly that the people standing on the wall of the village were not people at all, but a few haystacks wearing clothes.
Is there no one in the cottage? The bandits in Fuhu Village looked at each other, but they could clearly hear the sound of "dong-dong-dong-dong" coming from the village after a while.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" A small leader came to Yue Tianpeng and asked him.
At this time, Yue Tianpeng was also troubled by this matter. He wanted to rush in, but he was also afraid that the enemy would set up an empty city strategy, but just wasting it like this was not an option.
"Set fire, I want to see what they can do." Thinking of this, Yue Tianpeng suddenly became excited. No matter how many people were ambushed in the stronghold, if the fire was set, wouldn't they all reveal themselves?
After hearing Yue Tianpeng's order, the Fuhu Village bandits immediately took action. They used dry firewood and bark tightly tied together, and added some pine nuts and cypress oil to make a simple torch.
Next, the bandits lit these torches and threw them one by one into the Eagle Society's stronghold. Not long after, the stronghold was ablaze with blazing flames.
Logically speaking, with such a big fire and a lot of smoke, under such circumstances, the bandits who were ambushing in the stronghold should have been unable to bear it any longer and ran out. But everyone waited for a long time, but no one ran out of the village.
Seeing this situation, Yue Tianpeng vaguely felt that he had been deceived by the Flying Eagle Society. He called two more clever bandits and asked them to rush into the stockade to see what was going on?
Fei Ying Hui's cottage was not big, so it didn't take long for the two Fuhu Village bandits who had entered the cottage to return.
"Your Majesty, there is no one in the stronghold."
"Nonsense, how can there be a knocking sound inside without anyone?"
"That's because there are a few donkeys who have their front legs tied to the iron pot. From time to time, these donkeys will lose their temper and bang on the iron pot. That's the sound we hear." A Flying Eagle Bandit said with some depression. .
"Everyone go in quickly and put out the fire as quickly as possible." At this time, Yue Tianpeng already understood that he had fallen into the trap, but he immediately had a new idea.
After everyone was busy, they finally put out all the fires in the stronghold, but nearly half of the houses in the stronghold had been burned. Yue Tianpeng sent people to search around, but there was no one in the stronghold.
Yue Tianpeng sent people to search around the Fuhu village, but still no one was found.
"My Majesty lives in this village. I'm here just to wait and see." Yue Tianpeng was not in a hurry, he said calmly.
In Yue Tianpeng's view, since the Flying Eagle Society bandits were not in the village, there was only one possibility: they were hiding in the mountains behind the village. However, there is a lack of food in the mountains and life is extremely inconvenient. The people in the Flying Eagle Society are old and young and cannot hide for long.
At the same time, Yue Tianpeng also sent bandits to hide in the mountains around the village to check the area where the Flying Eagle Society bandits might be hiding, and report to him if they found anyone.
Yue Tianpeng's guess was generally correct. Seeing that Fei Ying would be unable to compete with the bandits led by Yue Tianpeng, Ye Ying moved most of them to the mountains behind. But he himself took more than 20 combatants with him and left the stronghold long before Yue Tianpeng and others arrived.
At this moment, Ye Ying and others were hiding in a forest in the mountains. Under the forest, there was a large house surrounded by high courtyard walls. The place surrounded by the walls was Fuhu. Village cottage.
It turned out that after learning the news that Yue Tianpeng and others were sending troops, Ye Ying, after discussing with Ge Yuncai and others, decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the bandits coming out of Fuhu Village to sneak attack on the Fuhu Village cottage.
"Master, we caught a man who went down the mountain to buy things. He told us that there are only a dozen combatants left in the village. The person in charge of the village now is the military advisor Jiang Jin." Ge Gen found Ye Ying and asked him Reported the news just received.
"Tell the brothers to fill their stomachs at this time, and then have a good sleep. Tonight, we will go to Fuhu Village to have a try." After hearing Ge Shun's words, Ye Ying immediately issued the order. Since If you want to make a sneak attack, it is definitely best to use the darkness as a cover.
The weather was good, it was a cloudy night, not a single star could be seen in the sky, even the moon was hazy, and it was so dark all around that you could barely see your fingers when you stretched out your hand.
At the second watch, Ye Ying and a group of his men took advantage of the cover of night to arrive at the gate of Fuhu Village. They saw that the gate of the village was tightly closed at this time, and several revolving lanterns were hung high on the wall to avoid the wind. But the light was a little dim.
Seeing two figures walking on the wall, everyone immediately bent down and crawled to the ground. Because the light was too dark, the patrolling bandits did not see Ye Ying and his group, so they walked away along the wall.
Based on previous observations, Ye Ying knew the bandit patrol pattern of Fuhu Village. They would check it every other cup of tea, and such a long time was enough for everyone to sneak into the village.
Ye Ying gently waved his hand to Kudzu behind him. The latter immediately understood and quickly came to the village gate. Then he jumped up lightly, like a monkey, and climbed up the wall of the village after a few moves. He jumped into the courtyard and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone in the Flying Eagle Club lay quietly on the spot without making a sound, but they were nervously looking in the direction of the village gate. The most critical moment of this operation had arrived.
It didn't take long for the door of the cottage to be opened gently, and a face appeared in front of the door. It was none other than Kudzu Gen who had just sneaked in.
Seeing that Pueraria lobata successfully opened the door of the village, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. Ye Ying quickly got up from the ground, waved to the back, and walked in the direction of Fuhu Village with swaying hands. The others in Feiying Club also followed Ye Ying's example and walked step by step towards the village. .
Ye Ying brought a total of twenty-two Flying Eagle Bandits this time, and he himself was only twenty-three, so they quickly passed the village gate and entered Fuhu Village.
Things went very smoothly, and Ye Ying felt much relieved. He quietly gathered everyone around him and issued orders to them with gestures. Let everyone eliminate the bandit fighters on the wall and sleeping in the house respectively. As long as this plan can go smoothly, the sneak attack mission will be completed this time.
Just when the small bosses were preparing to act separately according to Ye Ying's order, something unexpected happened suddenly.
There was a sudden sound on the wall, and then, dozens of torches were lit almost simultaneously. Under the illumination of these torches, everything in the courtyard could be seen clearly.
A large group of bandits armed with bows, arrows and spears suddenly appeared on the wall of the village. Ye Ying and everyone in Feiying were exposed to the sight of the bandits in Fuhu Village. More importantly, Ye Ying and others had no place to hide at this time. , completely within the range of the opponent's bow and arrow.
At this moment, Ye Ying's heart had already turned cold. It seemed that the other party had already prepared for this raid. He thought that this strategy was very good, but he did not expect that he fell into the other party's plan.
With Ye Ying's skill, he still had a chance to dodge or deflect the arrows and escape, but it would be difficult for the brothers of the Flying Eagle Society behind him to escape.
"Jiang Jin, I have been waiting here for you for a long time." At this time, a scribe with a goatee popped up on the wall of the village and said to the people of the Flying Eagle Society below with a smile on his face.
Looking at Jiang Jin with a proud face, Ye Ying was filled with annoyance. He was somewhat proud of his several victories, but he had forgotten the truth that a mountain is higher than a mountain. But after a flash, he made a decision, even if he sacrificed himself, he would save his brothers in the Flying Eagle Society.
"Commander Jiang's clever calculation, I admire you. It's better for me to admit defeat. This incident was all provoked by me. I hope that Commander Jiang can let go of these brothers behind me and let me do whatever I want." Ye Ying raised his head and said, Jiang Jin cupped his hands on the wall and said loudly.
"Why do you say such things? You are our leader. If you die, we will die first." After hearing Ye Ying's words, before Jiang Jin on the wall could speak, a voice sounded behind Ye Ying, and then, a figure He quickly stood in front of Ye Ying, trying to block the opponent's bow and arrow with his body.
As soon as Ye Ying lowered his head, he saw that the person standing in front of him was the second master Ge Shun. When he fought with him a few months ago, he knelt down and begged for mercy because he was afraid of death. Now he dared to stand up and block the arrow for him. For a moment, Ye Ying was a little stunned.
"Yes, we will die first." Another person stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Ying. It was the little boss Ge Gen.
"I will die if I die. I will risk my life." With a loud sound, another person stood up, this time it was Ge Erniu.
"Master, run quickly, we will block the bows and arrows for you."
"If you want to shoot me, shoot me and let our boss go."
There were constant noises in the crowd, and more and more bandits stood up and stood in front of Ye Ying, trying to use their bodies to cover Ye Ying's escape.
"Brothers, although I, Ye Ying, am not a hero, I can't let my brothers sacrifice their lives while I live an ignoble existence. Let's die together today!" Everyone's actions made Ye Ying Feeling that his eyes were hot, and hot tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, he decisively wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a wave of his sleeves, strode forward, and stood with everyone.
In the end, everyone in the Flying Eagle Association took a step forward with their heads held high, looking at the Fuhu Village bandits holding bows and arrows on the wall. As long as Jiang Jin gave the order, it was almost impossible for them to avoid the opponent's bows and arrows at such a close distance.
"Master Ye, I think we can talk." Strangely, Jiang Jin on the wall did not order his bandits to shoot arrows, but said with a faint smile.
