Song Jiuyi got up, hurriedly put on his clothes, and asked, "How many enemies?"

"**Ten people."

Song Jiu put on his clothes, Gao Qiong and the others were also dressed neatly. Song Jiu asked again: "How far is the enemy from here."

A soldier said, "I was lucky enough to patrol far away. When I saw them, I was three or four miles away from here, and only about two miles away."

"Do they notice you?"

"No, I saw them walking, and did not dare to snatch their horses and run wildly, for fear that the sound of horse hooves would alarm them. They were only a few hundred steps away before they could slam the horses and run wildly, but the dry grass on the road was growing, and they would not hear it."

Song Jiu looked at Gao Qiong, and Gao Qiong said, "Song Jiulang, what do you think you should do?"

"I," Song Jiu thought to himself, you know what I have, but it's not when you are entangled with this. At least in this line, he is the leader in name, so he said: "Only ten people came, and they are infantrymen, so he will definitely not target us."

Gao Qiong and Ge Ba both nodded. They were even smaller, but they were all carefully selected soldiers and cavalrymen. Song Jiu was the Central Envoy. As long as one escaped and killed the Central Envoy, it would be a hornet's nest.

Song Jiu said again: "There is only one possibility. Some people know that refugees are pursuing gold sand, and they also know that today is the delivery date. If there is some trouble on the road, the boat will come late. In addition, the delivery will be dark. The river here is small, and some places are in a hurry to flow. When the sky is dark, the boats dare not drive. As long as some people are sent over, the refugees are unprepared. When the night is late, they will kill and poke, and the gold sand and the goods will be both good."

"Kyuro's analysis is correct. What are the plans now?"

"General Gao, this is the case. We are not afraid of ten people, but we are afraid of helping behind us. First, send two people. Notify the winery and the people on the cargo ship to escape to the village immediately, and then inform Qiao Dalang and others to get up immediately. They cannot light the lights or make noises, but they must collect all the weapons in the dark and cooperate with us. Then we divided our troops into two groups, riding horses into the forest, preparing to rush with war horses, and immediately dismantle the tent and luggage along the way. Cover with dead grass. Then hold bows and arrows, and kill them behind when they are about to cross the bridge."

"Okay, that's it."

Song Jiu made a decision, and Gao Qiong immediately followed the order, and Song Jiu was far inferior to Gao Qiong.

Fifteen riders pulled their horses and pack horses into a forest far away. Thirteen people quickly removed the tent and luggage, dragged them to the riverside to cover them with dead grass, and heard movement not far away. Everyone immediately walked into the dead grass on the east side.

Just after the arrangement was made, more than eighty enemies arrived.

Song Jiu went down twice, but he had not gone through the battle. This time it would be a fierce battle with real swords and guns. He was very nervous, and his teeth were creaking and his body trembled.

"Jiulang. Don't be nervous," Gao Qiong said softly.

Song Jiu nodded hard.

The group approached. They were all dressed in plain clothes, with half a veil on their faces. But they were holding bright Pu Dao in their hands. At this time, it was almost time for everyone to sleep soundly. I wonder if the village had sent people to guard the village. Regardless of whether there was any security or not, if Song Jiu and the others had not come here and these people came here, the hundreds of people in the village would be a huge disaster.

Several people kicked the door open, rushed into the restaurant, came out for a while, and said, "Bi Du, there is no one inside."

One of them said, "Can the people in the restaurant rest across the river?"

"It's not clear, the news may be incorrect."

"No matter what they are, Qin Xihou, you lead five subordinates to the ship immediately. Remember, you can't leave a living mouth. The others follow me, but remember that when we approach the village, we will not attack from the front, but will divide the troops into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, and rush to the village from the mountains and forests on both sides, and we will not leave a living mouth."

"Here."

More than eighty people were splitting the troops, and Gao Qiong said, "It's his own people."

Not only weapons, but also the head and accent, needless to say, it was the Song army who came to do bad things. Song Jiu had the sympathy of the people of Bashu, but Gao Qiong did not. Song Jiu only said: "If they succeed and learn from the villagers about our news about us?"

Gao Qiong stopped talking.

More than eighty people approached the wooden bridge, suddenly stopped, looked at the opposite side, and said, "It seems that there is a noise in the village. Did they find us?"

Those who looked up looked up and saw that it was the end of the month. Song Jiu was planning to arrive in Yizhou for New Year's Day, which was also when the night was dark. There was also a distinctive feature of Zizhou, which was that there were many waters and mountains, and there would be some heavy fog every night.

This is the twelfth lunar month, and the fog should be lighter. If summer and autumn come here and night comes, the fog can be thicker so that the five fingers cannot be seen on the opposite side. Maybe they will suffer a great loss tonight, including Song Jiu. But there is still some, the night and fog make the sight less clear.

Duo shook his head and said, "No, if you find out that we are coming, you will definitely ignite the torch to defend you. Maybe if you have something in the village, don't care about them, you will take action as planned."

The group rushed across the wooden bridge, and the leaders rushed towards the boat. Just as they were about to disperse, the people walked out of the boat and said, "Du Tou, it's not good, there is no one on the boat."

They are here to do bad things, and their military cultivation is still there. It can be said that they are the most powerful army in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. They all felt something was wrong, so they immediately called back two groups of people and found several subordinates and said, "You can sneak into the village to inquire."

At this time, Gao Qiong, Song Jiu and more than a dozen guards had already lurked and walked not far from the bridge.

Everyone looked up at the village, turned their heads and looked at the back, obviously feeling that it was still inappropriate, and said, "Let's retreat to the other side of the river first."

Listening to his orders, Song Jiu sighed and thought to himself, "You are a beautiful lady, how can you be a thief?"

Gao Qiong was not as sentimental as him, so he gestured, and fourteen people hit an arrow and opened their bows at the same time. The fog was floating, and several wolf howls came from a distance, making this night particularly cold.

Seeing several people walking across the small wooden bridge, Gao Qiong Zhangman's big bow slackened, and an arrow flew out, hitting the leader. This arrow was a signal, and thirteen arrows flew out at the same time. Each one was not weak, and only fourteen arrows flew out, hitting nine people. Six of them fell down.

As soon as the nine people screamed, the second arrow flew out again. This time it was not so accurate. Only five people were shot. But it had caused chaos in the group of Song troops. What was so bad was that they came in casual clothes, without armor, shields, and even with a few bows and arrows. They shouted: "Retreat, withdraw."

The third round of arrows flew out again.

The dozens of Song soldiers hurriedly retreated, and Ge Ba rushed out of the forest with fifteen cavalry.

Before Gao Qiong could stop, he shot out the fourth round of arrows, but the dozens of people had retreated to the other side of the river, with a long range. Only one arrow achieved success.

Ge Ba came to the bridge and had not rushed over, but had to wait for the people in the village to cooperate. Gao Qiong and Song Jiuze returned to the forest and got on their horses again. As soon as they rode out, torches had been lit in the village, and a large number of people rushed out of the village gate with various weapons.

Seeing that something was wrong, the one on the opposite side shouted loudly: "I am Li Liang, the head of the Second Battalion of Feimeng Army. Who is the opposite?"

As he said that, he pulled down the veil and every injunction soldier had to tattoo his face with a number and name. This is the best proof of his identity.

Gao Qiong turned his head and looked at Song Jiu again. They were all from their own family, and they were revealed. Still couldn't bear to kill each other. Song Jiu sat on the horse and pondered, and suddenly asked, "Are you the Northern Army or the Eastern Army?"

"We are the Northern Route Army."

At this time, the scouts sent by Li Liang had not yet arrived at the gate of the village. They saw a large group of people coming out with weapons in hand. They were still inquiring about something, and they fled back quickly. They asked Li Liang suspiciously: "Dutao, what's going on?"

"I don't know. There is an imperial army opposite, I don't know if it is the Eastern Army."

But this situation is very unfavorable. There are more than 100 people behind them. If they fight, they will not be afraid, but they will be destined to cause a large number of casualties. This trip is not worth it. The people are not afraid, but they are afraid of thirty-one cavalry on the opposite side. Not only are they cavalry, but they are all wearing helmets and armor, and they have more than a dozen of their subordinates. If they attack each other, if they don’t do it well tonight, they will be wiped out. So they said: “Brothers on the opposite side, we are ordered to capture the thieves’ imperial army. Which army is the opposite brother? Why do they hurt my subordinates?”

Song Jiu did not answer, but turned his head to Gao Qiong and said, "He said he was ordered to capture the thief."

"But this is difficult to deal with. There are really some rebels and fleeing soldiers among these village residents."

"It's not difficult to deal with, but it's very difficult to deal with. If they insist that they are here to capture the thief, we will kill more than a dozen of his subordinates, and the generals above know what to do? If we prove that they are here to steal money and slaughter the people, I am the envoy of the court, can our vocation reach Yizhou?"

"I got it," Gao Qiong said, then looked at the opposite side coldly and said, "Li Dutou, you are crazy. For a little bit of gold and sand and money, you actually pretended to be a thief, intending to massacre hundreds of innocent people, put down your butcher's knife, and let us take you to Zizhou and wait for the imperial court to surrender."

"What kind of golden sand, we don't understand what you said."

"You said you were catching the thief, where is the warrant? Who is the thief?"

“We are giving a password.”

"Just receive a command, why not wear armor?"

"This is to not alert the snake and let the remaining thieves notice and inform the news."

"It's nonsense. We still eat wine here during the day. This is just a group of refugees. We plan to go to Puzhou for spring farming and production not long ago. Where can thieves come from? I think you are thieves."

"If you insist on doing your own thing, you can think of this consequence."

"What consequences? Putting down your weapons is your only way out." Gao Qiong turned around and whispered to Ge Ba, saying, "You bring the five-man palace queen to protect Song Jiulang's safety, and you must not let one person escape, otherwise our crime will be of great fortune."

"Here."

Gao Qiong whispered to gather the five guards, asking them to obey Ge Ba's command, and then rushed to the other guards, "Run over."

After saying that, he took the lead and rushed over, his hand fell, and his head was cut off by him. Song Jiu was sitting on the horse's back and staring. He shot several people to death just now, but he didn't feel nervous. However, the head flew up, which scared him almost fell off the horse's back. Fortunately, the food in his stomach was almost digested at this time, otherwise he would be able to lie on the horse's back and vomit.
