Chapter 496 Brothers
As autumn begins, the leaves gradually turn yellow, the stuffy heat gradually fades away, and cool raindrops fall on the leaves.??
Didida...
The refreshing rain fell in the forest, and the nearby trees were filled with rest figures. The alert crossbowmen hid in the dark, and some iron armored infantrymen took advantage of the time to rest against the trees. The wet soil was loosened by the feet that walked past. This was a temporary camp of 100 people.
Behind, a soldier riding a horse came over. When the horse's hooves were trapped in the mud, some fat and vicious figures jumped off the horse's back and threw the reins to the soldiers who came over. They strode through the resting crowd and opened their voices: "Pengju, my old cow is back." As they walked, their maces swung their waists and collided.
Someone walked out inside. It was a slender figure with thin eyes and thick eyebrows. The two seemed to be very familiar with each other. When they heard the reckless figure, they frowned, first bowed their hands, and then lowered their voices.
"Niu Gao, this trip is a marching camp. Why do you speak in a rough voice? If there is an enemy by your side, wouldn't you be exposed?"
The figure approached with a silly smile on his face and waved his hand: "I know...I know, but we are just catching a Huang Xin, afraid that he will do anything. When you meet him, you can take a look and let me go up and just keep him obedient."
Niu Gao doesn't speak that on weekdays, but the guy named Wang Gui in front of him is like a housekeeper in the team. He is cautious and meticulous in his work and good martial arts skills. A Yanling knife makes it powerful and not easy to mess with.
The two talked for a few more times, and then Wang Gui had no choice but to use the hob meat. Someone came over from behind the two and threw an iron helmet out. Niu Gao hurriedly reached out to catch it. On the other side, a young man was chewing dry food, and a few residues were stained on his short chin and beard.
"You don't wear a helmet when you march, you're so tired of living."
When Niu Gao saw the master, he laughed and then pressed his helmet on his head. "I am still Pengju who cares about others, but it's not like some people who only know how to talk."
"..." Wang Gui glared at him.
"I'm not afraid of you." Niu Gao shouted as he stood on tiptoe and rushed away.
The dead leaves were trampled, Yue Fei walked over, patted Niu Gao on the shoulder, and looked at the figure who left, "Again, what news did you hear?"
Speaking of serious matters, Niu Gao's expression became serious: "...I know from the other teams that Huang Xin opened Yanmen Pass and privately magnified the people who fled together to come in. I heard that he had a fight with Guan Shengsuo and others in the north, and only one or two hundred people were left running around in the mountains..."
"But this guy is a man..." Niu Gao raised his thumb and gestured, and saw Yue Fei's face was wrong, and added: "Only my point of view..."
Yue Fei was silent for a while and shook his head: "What you said is actually right. Yu Li did this and was indeed a dignified man, worthy of making friends with people. But to be honest, what he did lacked the idea of family and country. Such a person would harm more people with a temporary effort."
"Then are we still fighting?"
"The Jurchens have not settled and the north has not recovered. As little turmoil as possible, it is natural to fight." Yue Fei said in a deep voice, and then asked him to inform the team quickly to set off. "When you come back, Zhang Xian came to find out the news in front. It seems that our other teams have encountered an attack, so you have to go over and take a look."
After saying that, Yue Fei lifted the iron spear inserted into the ground and turned around and left. Niu Gao excitedly clasped his fists and ran to send the news that the rest was over. Soon after, the team left the temporary camping place.
In the afternoon, the rain gradually became heavier, slapped the leaves, looking for the marks left by Zhang Xian, and finally, there were corpses and wrecks in the ground not far from a valley.
In the faint smell of blood, a tall and handsome man walked out of the corpses all over the ground, and axe gun was inserted into the ground with a somewhat free and easy movement. He bowed to Yue Fei in front of the team that was coming and said, "I was caught off guard by someone who was ambushed and beaten. There were not many corpses on the ground. The leader should not have died. He should have run away while the rest of the people ran away."
"Coward!" Niu Gao curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.
Yue Fei looked at the tragic battlefield. The people on his side were counting the corpse's identities and they wanted to report it. He got off from his horse and patrolled the ground with his eyes.
"Can you see footprints leaving on the ground?" he asked Zhang Xian beside him.
"Yes, but it's vague. The other party is more cautious than we think in this regard."
"Well..." Yue Fei pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It should be Huang Xin. Such alertness and ambush should be his personal soldiers, all veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time... It is not difficult to deal with the newly built Wu Rui army."
The rain sounded in the forest, and the field was quiet for a moment. Zhang Xian blinked: "Is this Pengju's evaluation of Huang Xin? When the Jurchens went south, I heard that you were also in the team fleeing south."
Yue Fei nodded.
"I had a chance to meet once, but I never talked to you. However, the soldiers who followed were real soldiers. It's a pity now... It's great to use them to regain the north. These veterans don't need to build a backbone in the army. As long as they form an army and practice hard, they will be invincible."
Zhang Xian next to him saw the complicated expression on his face and reached out to pat the other person's arm.
"Don't be anxious, we will always have a day to make a comeback. After all, the Jurchens invaded my country and killed my sisters and brothers. There are still some other sticks to beat them. Now the court is restoring people's livelihood in the north. Once we have enough strength to accumulate, we will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield."
Not far away, Niu Gao shouted: "I'm the one at that time, don't leave me behind."
Yue Fei smiled and waved his hand: "Fei, I would rather have real peace in the world than fight..."
He was still halfway through his words, his head suddenly turned away, looking in one direction, and in the gray rainy day, there was a faint sound of a whistle blowing. His brows frowned and stopped talking. When everyone saw this, they all raised their ears to listen.
After a moment, Zhang Xian frowned, "Huang Xin?"
"Maybe it." Yue Fei held the spear and turned over the horse, crossed the reins, waved his hand, and kept saying: "Wang Gui, stay, bring some people to clean up the situation, Niu Gao and Zhang Xian follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the forest in the distance, and the movement became even louder, and the sound of fighting weapons jingling came.
Immediately, more than a hundred people rushed straight towards that direction, and a forest emerged. The battle became even louder, and the smell of blood became richer from far and near.
Yue Fei stopped his horse's hooves, and in front of him, dozens of people were trapped in the middle of a clearing in the forest. People rushed over in the surrounding forest, and then they were killed and retreated.
The man protected in the middle was covered in disheveled heads and blood was stained with his face. A steel knife was missing several gaps, and blood was still dripping. Judging from the appearance of the armor, Yue Fei must be the border army. The man protected in the middle should also be the hunt for Huang Xin. He didn't expect that the other party would be surrounded.
"General Huang, long time no see!"
With raindrops in the wind, between the two sides of the stalemate, Yue Fei turned over and dismounted, walked over with a spear, walked out of the edge of the forest, bowed and greeted him lightly.
Huang Xin in the middle raised his head, and his forehead seemed to be injured, and he narrowed his eyes.
"I seem to have seen you...where?"
"In Bianliang City, the late emperor was there at that time."
"Oh, I remembered that your name is Yue Fei. I heard the governor and Liang Yuanchui mentioned you."
This sentence left Yue Fei speechless. He probably guessed that the other party did not want to implicate him or gave him a quarrel. The person who had always been upright was silent, looked at the people around him, sighed deeply, and raised his hand: "General Huang...you... surrender."
"These soldiers around you are not worth it to be worth it, and you don't want it either. Besides, the general needs to tell you the whole story in person. Even if there is an injustice in the middle, the admiral of the East Factory should be clear and silly."
The sky was getting darker, and Wu Rui's army came over after receiving the news, and the shadows surrounded the forest. Huang Xin lowered his head and looked at the personal soldiers around him, his faces covered with blood and dirt. He remembered that for the past ten days, he had been hiding in the mountains, being chased and harassed by wild animals, and he seemed to be sorry for them.
"General... we still have the strength to ensure that you can fight out..."
"Yes...Brother, don't be fooled by that person."
…
Hearing these voices, Huang Xin's thoughts broke. After he thought about it, he threw the blade in his hand to the ground, nodded to the figure who was persuading there.
"Brothers...just get to the end of the road. Thank you for your hard work all the way."
Bang...bang...bang...
Blood-stained and ragged weapons fell to the ground, and figures hugged them in grief and squatted on the ground in the words of their chief general.
The crying of a man was sobbing above the open space like the wind.
Not long after, the news of Huang Xin's arrest finally spread this night.
Someone feels at ease...
Some people are happy...
