Chapter 120, Seizing the Cottage 2
He suddenly woke up and walked out of the cave to listen carefully. The sound of the flute seemed to come from several places outside the village, one after another.
At this time, the officers and soldiers were frightened awake by the sound of the flute. Everyone knew that this was the sound of the flute that summoned poisonous snakes. Could it be that the bandits were summoning poisonous snakes again?
"Ah——" As the first scream pierced the night sky, Wang Quan understood that the bandits were going to attack with venomous snakes. He saw the officers and soldiers lighting torches one after another. Under the firelight, the officers and soldiers were in a mess, raising their swords and slashing at the ground.
The guard at the entrance of the cave suddenly shouted in horror: "Snakes, what a big group!"
Wang Quan looked through the torch, and saw more than a dozen cobras crawling out of the grass, raising their heads, spitting out letters and rushing toward them. The guard retreated and said to Wang Quan: "The people in Lingnan call this a venomous snake with a rice shovel head.
It's extremely poisonous." His voice trembled: "I've never seen so many of them."
Wang Quan swung his hoe and cut off the group of snakes, but saw more poisonous snakes crawling towards the entrance of Weihu Cave. He also started to get hairy, thinking: Ordinary officers and soldiers would be even more frightened. At this thought, he tightened his trousers and inhaled
Qi shouted loudly: "Evacuate the stronghold first and send people to chase the flute player!"
He used Qinggong to rush to the gate of the stronghold. The gate had been opened long ago, and the officers and soldiers rushed out of the door. Hundreds of poisonous snakes were chasing behind them. The officers and soldiers who were bitten by the snakes turned pale and shouted: "Brother, save me."
Ah!" The officers and soldiers were frightened, and no one came to help.
Wang Quan shouted: "Line up, raise the torch, and follow me to strangle the flute player!" He gathered more than a thousand people and ran towards where the sound of the flute was coming from. The sound of the flute was in the woods outside the stone wall, and Wang Quan rushed over to follow the sound.
Sure enough, I saw two people standing outside the woods, playing the flute. The moonlight was shining, and the two people were dressed in black. They disappeared into the woods in a flash.
The officers and soldiers immediately chased into the woods. As soon as they reached the edge of the forest, countless bows and arrows were fired from inside. Wang Quan shouted: "The shield soldiers are in front!" The shield soldiers and light infantry rushed into the forest together, and there was another burst of rapid bows and arrows. The Weihu soldiers were familiar with it.
Due to the terrain, there is no need for torches at all. Once you hide, the officers and soldiers will look for it for a long time.
The officers and soldiers held torches, but they became living targets. After searching for more than half an hour, they saw their companions fall one by one. The remaining officers and soldiers had no courage and fled out of the woods one after another. Wang Quan paused and sighed: "It's difficult to make a mountain stronghold."
Guard!" He had to command his soldiers to drive away the flute players everywhere so that they could not command the poisonous snakes in the village.
When the heads were counted at dawn, only four thousand of the five thousand officers and soldiers survived. Wang Quan wondered where the poisonous snake came from. One of his subordinates told him: The poisonous snake is in the soil underground of the mountain stronghold, and it will crawl when it hears the sound of the flute.
Come out to hurt people. If you can find sulfur and sprinkle it in the village, those poisonous snakes are most afraid of the smell of sulfur and will naturally run away.
But where could he find sulfur in such a desperate situation? Wang Quan thought about it and found no good solution, so he ordered 2,000 men to stand guard outside the stronghold to prevent the flute player from getting close to the stronghold. As night fell, the officers and soldiers stationed outside the stronghold were attacked by bows and arrows again, and the small team pursued them.
