Chapter 407 Waiting for the Rabbit

The two thief soldiers were trapped in the mountains for several months, and their stomachs were as oil-free as washed with clean water. At first glance, they saw meat and oily noodles, which tasted like eating seafood and mountain delicacies. Although the thief soldiers brought a large amount of food supplies into the mountain, Liu Qi and Zhao Yu will not tolerate the waste of food and drink. They don't know when they will get out of the mountain. Naturally, they have to make long-term preparations carefully and distribute the supply of food in a fixed amount.

In addition, after all, there is a shortage of supplies, and there is only a small amount of wine and meat. Where can it be enjoyed by ordinary soldiers, they can't be full for two meals a day, and they can still enjoy some wild animals in the mountains and forests when it doesn't snows. After the heavy snow, there is almost no such opportunity.

For ordinary soldiers, they are no longer living, but living a hard life and surviving.

"Is it delicious?" Song Nan asked coldly.

"Uh...Uh..." The two thieves had no time to answer repeatedly. Their left and right hands were full of food, and their left mouthful of beef jerky and right mouthful of fragrant noodles were slowly stuffed in their mouths. They only chewed and swallowed desperately, and it was even difficult to breathe.

Song Nan reached out and grabbed the dough and beef in their hands and threw them on the ground. After the two thieves were stunned, they rushed to the ground and wanted to pick them up. Song Nan flew up and kicked them in the faces and kicked the bulging food in their mouths.

The two thieves covered their mouths and looked at Song Nan in a stunned.

"You are very happy to eat. Come on, take off the clothes of the two rebels and hang them on the cliff." Song Nan shouted.

Wang Yong said in consternly, "Your Excellency, isn't that going to freeze to death?"

Song Nan sneered and said, "I just want to freeze them to death, freeze them overnight, freeze them into popsicles, and then throw them into the valley to feed the wolves."

The two thieves were shocked. It didn't matter if they were going to die before. Now the wound stopped bleeding, their bodies were warm, and they tasted delicious food. Their desire for life was stronger than ever, so they knelt down and shouted, "Your Excellency, please forgive me."

Song Nan said coldly, "How can I forgive you? Your hands are stained with the blood of my Ming soldiers and people, and you will not forget to do evil when you escape into the mountains. Yesterday, the 20 officers and soldiers on the mountainside on the south may die at your hands. You still have the face to forgive you."

The two thieves kowtowed and said repeatedly, "No, no, we didn't kill them. The little people were also forced to come here. They were arrested and the strong men couldn't follow them. We used to be good people, but now it's not what we want. Please be kind and spare my life."

Song Nan scolded, "You go to deceive ghosts. Since you are coerced by thieves, the guards are loose in this deep mountain. Why don't you escape from the mountain?"

The thief with a small black mole on his right lip hurriedly said, "The adults don't know. It's not that the little people don't want to, but they don't dare."

Song Nan said, "What's the dare? Is it possible that someone tied your hands and feet with a rope? I see that you are bitches. You are willing to degenerate. You would rather be a traitor than change your mind. Don't quibble, drag them out and take off your clothes.

The mole thief soldier shouted like pounding garlic and shouted, "Your excellency doesn't know anything. Because Liu Dishuai said something, we really dare not escape from the deep mountains."

Song Nan frowned and shouted, "Who is Liu Dishuai? What did he say?"

The black mole thief said, "The handsome is the leader of Liu Er, uh... it's Liu Qi."

Song Nan's heart is funny. The title Liu Liu and Liu Qi added to himself is quite awesome. He is handsome and handsome, and he is engaged in the divine power. At present, he can't help laughing and listen to the thief soldier continue.

"The local commander sent people out of the mountain quietly. The news brought back is that the court has figured out the origin of our brothers who followed the rebellion, and the parents, wives and children in the family have also been killed several times, and we will never be allowed to surrender. Since there is no way to live, everyone naturally does not want to go out of the mountain to die."

Song Nan frowned and said, "Did he say that?"

"Yes, in front of all the brothers, the people who sent the mountain also exposed a few court notices and brought them back. I saw them with my own eyes."

Song Nan pinched her chin and thought for a while. She couldn't help admiring the wisdom of the thief soldiers. Obviously, she used these fake news to deceive the thief soldiers, so that they had no way out, so that they could stay in the mountains safely.

"So you believe their nonsense? It's stupid."

"Your Excellency, in fact... the villain is also suspicious, but even if he doesn't believe in the villain, he dares not dare to escape easily. The commander issued a military order. Every 20 soldiers we serve as a team to protect each other. Once someone escapes from the mountain, the remaining 19 people will have the crime of sitting together and will all beheaded by the army. Therefore, Once we go out to act, everyone is wary of each other. If there is any abnormality, others will immediately catch and report it, so that they will not be killed and rewarded. In this case, who dares to escape easily?

Song Nan has to once again express his admiration for the person who came up with this method. People's hearts are separated, and the suspicion and precautions between people will not disappear at any time. It is the use of the human nature that is not easy to unite. This order is much more powerful than the previous bulletin and other scams. And it can be imagine that once a task is needed, a team of 20 people must be put together temporarily. No one knows who knows. In this way, no one dares to act rashly.

Song Nan got up and paced a few steps. The two thief soldiers looked at Song Nan pitifully. Song Nan stopped and asked, "Do you two want to live?"

The two nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, please spare my life."

Song Nan said, "Okay, then I'll give you a chance. As you know, the imperial army has entered the mountains to suppress the thieves. You just need to answer me some questions, and I will atone for your sins, and I won't investigate you for the thieves after suppressing the thieves. How about that?"

The two thieves looked at each other and said together, "We know nothing."

Song Nan said coldly, "Ugly words are in your head. If you dare to hide or talk nonsense, you will be two cold bodies tomorrow."

The two thieves said that they did not dare. Song Nan ordered people to interrogate the two separately to confirm the truth of their explanations and ensure that they would not be deceived. The interrogation was carried out at the same time. Half an hour later, Song Nan got most of the information he wanted.

One of the two thieves was a people in Yizhou. When the city was broken, he was surrounded by a thief, and the other was arrested in Xiong County all the way here. Both of them gave roughly the same answers to several questions drawn up by Song Nan, but it was roughly concluded that the two did not lie.

Both of them explained that the camp where the thief soldiers were stationed was in the valley under the peak in the south of the mountain. There was a beast path from the ancient road running through Taihang Mountain by Song Nan's army to the southern valley. It was by wandering around this area that the thief found this hidden path in the forest that they crossed two peaks and found a place suitable for long-term camping in the valley under the third peak. According to the two thief soldiers, there are thousands of walls on three sides of the valley, with only a narrow entrance, a flat ground inside, and ponds and rivers, which are like a paradise.

Song Nan almost scolded her. These guys can actually find a place like a paradise in the world. It's really not long-sighted. According to the description of the thief soldiers, the thief soldiers have set up something like a suspension bridge gate at the entrance of the narrow valley; on the top of the mountain surrounded by three sides, there is also a watchtower and a beacon fire to call the police, which can be said to have done a good job of the mountain. The king's preparation.

The thieves and soldiers have been mastering the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers as early as four or five days ago. Similar to some surveillance places on this mountain beam, there is one every seven or eight miles on the mountain on both sides of the ancient road. No matter how you are outside, these guys can hide in a hidden place to peep at the traces of officers and soldiers. The shortcoming is that you don't have enough to eat and wear warm. If you have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, I'm afraid these thieves will be willing to stay out of the mountains for the rest of their lives.

In order to prevent the traces of the thief soldiers from missing, the strategy of sending teams from the two wings has long fallen into the eyes of the thief soldiers. The bonfire lit by the two wings every night is to report the location of these reconnaissance thieves.

Last night, more than 20 officers and soldiers on the mountainside opposite were hunted by a specially formed hunting team, providing information about the thieves of another hidden post six or seven miles away. It is also unlucky to say that the route of this team of officers and soldiers will pass through a thief's sentry post. In order to avoid exposure, they have to kill people.

Song Nan is a little worried that her team's whereabouts have been exposed. Although it will be snowy and the visibility is extremely low soon after departure today, Song Nan dares not take it lightly. If her whereabouts are found, maybe there will be a group of thieves around her early tomorrow morning.

Although it is the best place for defense on this mountain beam, there is no chance to hide close to the thieves' camp. Because according to the current situation, the numerical advantage of the officers and soldiers brigade is almost useless. The thief soldiers are not close to the left of the ancient road, but in the southern valley leading to the beast path. On the way to the thief camp, it is very likely that they will be ambushed by the thief soldiers who learned in advance. The consequences are unimaginable. Moreover, they will turn over the mountains along the way. It is not what the brigade can do.

The black mole thief soldier explained that after killing 20 officers and soldiers yesterday, the team led by Zhao Yu, one of the five tiger generals, temporarily withdrew from the thief's camp, but it will come out soon. The specific reason is not what the black mole thief soldiers can ask. Maybe this time it will be a move for the officers and soldiers.

Last night, Zhao Yu spent the night in this hidden place. He asked to determine the position of the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the valley. This time, the target was the team of officers and soldiers in the valley in front of him, that is to say, Zhao Yu's people will return to this mountain beam at any time.

Upon learning the news, Song Nan quickly made a decision. First of all, he must immediately remove the surveillance post on the way to which may have found the whereabouts of the fire brigade today to prevent them from reporting the news and causing a comprehensive vigilance of the thief soldiers. Second, he must immediately prepare to welcome him on this mountain beam. Zhao Yu, who received the arrival of the hunting team of officers and soldiers, killed or captured him in one fell swoop.

The guards acted quickly. Wang Yong led 30 guards under the leadership of the black mole thief soldiers to solve the surveillance post of the thief soldiers on the way. Li Daniel immediately took three guards over the peak on the left and returned to the avenue to inform the situation. Xu Tai sent someone to contact Jiang Bin immediately and closely searched the hidden prisons on the slopes on both sides. Look at the sentry post. Song Nan hid on the mountain beam with the rest of the people, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Yu's hunting team.
