The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 15 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
Du Yu and Chen Da planned to go to the Daming Mansion area to inquire about information, but they didn't expect to encounter robbers blocking the road not far away.

Chen Da unceremoniously killed two people, and he also killed one and captured the other.

Du Yu immediately pointed a gun at the man, and asked a few casual questions, but he didn't expect to get unexpected results.These people were actually the scouts of a group of bandits in Xingzhou, and their goal was also for the birthday gang.

Seeing him and Chen Da riding horses and dressed as traveling merchants, the four wanted to block the road and rob them together because of their greed.

Du Yu didn't feel surprised when he heard it. Even in the Water Margin, it was clearly written that the batch of birthday outlines sent in the third year of Zhenghe in the Song Dynasty were looted.

That is to say, even without him as an unexpected factor, there are many people in the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty who are staring at this treasure.

After hearing this, Chen Da jumped off his horse and dragged the man into the woods beside the road. After a while, there were waves of wailing and begging for mercy.

After a while, Chen Da came out from the forest and said, "Brother, I have already asked. Those people found out that the Daming Mansion has sent a group of people to escort the birthday outline. The route is not clear, but it is probably to Take a few official roads."

Du Yu nodded, and then asked, "Have you dealt with it?"

"Well, I thought it was such a hard bone, but I died after using a little trick. I haven't found out where their cottage is yet." Chen Da said.

Du Yu was a little dumbfounded, saying that Lu Zhishen acted recklessly and did things regardless of the consequences. In fact, Monk Hua still had a thoughtful and delicate side. Not to mention that this jumping tiger has low martial arts skills, he has a rather reckless personality.

It’s just that people are dead, what else can he say, anyway, it’s not a pity that they are not good people. It can only be said that maybe the hatred between colleagues is the fruit of the fruit.

"Those corpses should also be disposed of," Du Yu said.

"Brother, should we wait on this route now or go to another place to investigate?" Chen Da dragged the three corpses into the forest and asked when he came back.

"We still have to go to other places. It's not good to sit on the sidelines. If we didn't take this route, we would have come in vain." Du Yu said.

The two looked at each other and continued on the road after making sure that there was no blood on their bodies, but this time they were more purposeful.

There are many routes from Daming Mansion to Bianliang, but if you don’t take detours like Yang Zhi and take the official road as a caravan, there are only two or three.

In addition to avoiding the places near the state capital along the way, there are not many places suitable for ambushes. After all, the whole journey is only more than 400 miles.

Now that the man's cottage found out that the team escorting the birthday party had already set off, Du Yu planned to follow several official roads quickly.

After making up their minds, the two no longer worried about whether they would attract the attention of passers-by on the road, and galloped away with their horses and whips.

Perhaps the two of them were unlucky, and there was no sign of the caravan on the route between Daming Mansion and Xiangzhou.

So they immediately turned around and planned to explore the official road just south of Daming Mansion.

Before he had gone far, Du Yu discovered that there were dozens of ruts on the official road, which seemed to be traces of a large caravan passing by.

The two were overjoyed and urged their horses to move forward.

After another [-] miles or so, the road ahead was wide open, and the ruts became clearer and clearer.

Du Yu thought to himself, maybe Liang Zhongshu allowed Yang Zhi to disguise himself as a caravan and was robbed by his officers and soldiers before he was robbed.

This guy was afraid of alarming the other party, so he took out his binoculars to look forward from time to time. After all, the escort team was also an official army of the Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for them to be as good as those soldiers in Huayin County.

After about five miles, Du Yu finally saw the shadow of the 'caravan' in the high-power telescope. In order to see it carefully, he climbed to a big tree by the roadside to observe carefully.

Although those 'vendors' were not wearing Song-style equipment, it could still be seen that they were members of an army. The number was at least a hundred. The two leaders were riding tall horses, one was holding a gun, and the other was holding a knife.

At first glance, it is different from ordinary merchants. After all, ordinary merchants can afford to hire more than 50 bodyguards, and those people are not holding plain knives, but military waist knives.

Du Yu was very happy to find the right owner.

He asked Chen Da to wait here, while he turned around and went back to Zhu Wu and the others.

An hour later, Du Yu rushed here with Zhu Wu, Han Bolong and more than 30 minions under his command to join Chen Da.

After driving for a while, they felt that they were getting close, so they came to the forest beside the road. A group of people opened the packages and helped each other put on the armor, took the lances that were loaded on the pack horses, and armed themselves.

After a while, a team of more than 30 Iron Buddhas appeared on the official road of the Song Dynasty.

Du Yu took the lead, chasing forward while observing the situation ahead with binoculars.

Before, he saw a large open area not far ahead, which was most suitable for cavalry to charge, and he believed that even if it was delayed for an hour, those people would not be able to go far.

Here I have to say that Liang Zhongshu is stupid. If Suo Chao is sent to escort a team of cavalry, how could something happen?

Of course, it is also possible that the matter of the birth plan is not visible at all. That idiot did not dare to mobilize the army, so he secretly transported it like this. Therefore, the escort method used was still walking by donkey cart.

They didn't dare to speed up in order to maintain their horsepower, but they still saw the shadow of the 'caravan' after two quarters of an hour.

What Du Yu didn't expect was that there were shouts of killing everywhere, and it was obvious that someone had already started fighting with those officers and soldiers.

This guy hastily took out the binoculars to observe carefully, and it turned out that a group of powerful bandits were besieging the officers and soldiers who were transporting the birthday card.

It has to be said that the official army of the Song Dynasty still has some combat effectiveness, at least not like those soldiers in Huayin County who would get into a mess when they encountered some situations.

The officers and soldiers relied on those donkey carts to form a battle formation with evidence for offense and defense. On the contrary, those bandits had no rules and only relied on their large numbers to attack.

Although those bandits were somewhat brutal, it was a pity that they could only do nothing in the face of the well-trained army, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Such a situation is beneficial to the officers and soldiers. After all, this is the official road of the Song Dynasty, and the Daming Mansion is one of the four capitals of the imperial court. It is not uncommon for pedestrians and caravans to and from the road, and even occasionally people from the army pass by.The longer the delay, the worse it will be for those bandits.

Therefore, those officers and soldiers did not panic, and became calmer as they fought under the command of the two leading generals.

The battle between the two sides was in a state of anxiety, and Du Yu could have been a mantis who caught cicadas and orioles followed.

Although he has never fought a war, this guy knows the truth of quick battles, or that sentence, after all, this place is on the Dasongguan Road.

Moreover, Daming Mansion is only more than 400 miles away from Bianliang City, and there are many forbidden troops stationed in the middle, so it will take a long time to change.

So, with a wave of the gun in his hand, a group of people urged the horses to slowly increase their speed as they approached the battlefield.

The team of more than 30 people and more than 40 cavalry seems to be small in number, but once the heavy cavalry runs, the momentum is amazing.

The officers and bandits who were fighting fiercely only heard a rumbling sound from a distance at first, and then they noticed a horse team rushing towards them from behind.

At this time, the officers and soldiers thought that bandits had come to support them, and the bandits thought that Liang Zhongshu had sent cavalry troops from Daming Mansion.

But fighting is a matter of life and death after all, neither side dares to give up easily, even if Du Yu and the others are getting closer and closer, the two sides are still entangled.

When the group rushed to about 200 meters, the speed had already increased.

Du Yu waved the big spear in his hand again, Han Bolong, Chen Da and others immediately picked up the lance and tucked it under their armpits, each of them found a target and rushed towards it.

200 meters seems to be far away, but in fact it is within a blink of an eye.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! . . . Boom! Boom!"

The sound of weapons piercing into the human body and the sound of horses colliding immediately sounded, and at the same time those who were injured and survived began to let out tragic cries.

At this time, the bandits and the officers and soldiers who escorted the birth plan realized that this was another group of gangsters.

Regardless of whether they were officers or bandits, Du Yu's way of killing them all left the two sides stunned on the spot, not knowing how to deal with the enemy for a while.

But seeing that team of cavalry armed to the teeth pierced through the battlefield, sped away, turned their horses and rushed back not far away, the fool also knew that something was wrong, and had to run for his life.
