[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 171 [English]

Chapter 166 Six Ears

In the early morning, Shen Zechuan stared at the messy footprints and asked Fei Sheng, “Is it a grain truck?”

The traces of the wheels are very clear, obviously carrying heavy objects.

“Heavier than a grain truck,” Fei Sheng knelt down on one knee, looked at it for a moment, and said, “It seems to be carrying some heavy equipment. Master, they made a special trip to Libei, do they want to make a sneak attack again?”

“Sha 3rd Battalion now has strong troops and horses, and Guo Weili is stationed here. This place is also close to Bianbo Camp. If there are no heavy troops behind, it will be difficult to gain benefits from a sneak attack.” Shen Zechuan faced south, “Besides, they came from Dunzhou, and they may want to transport things along the Chashi River.”

But what does Dunzhou have?

The granaries in Dunzhou have long been squandered by bandits, and there is no garrison in Dunzhou, so why bother and take a detour?

Shen Zechuan thought carefully for a moment and went through all the memories of Dunzhou. He thought of the trebuchet used by the Biansha Cavalry in the surprise attack on Bianbo Camp in June. He walked a few steps along the traces of the wheels and suddenly said: “Luggage, food – ordnance.” He turned around and said, “After the defeat of Zhongbo, the Ministry of War did not recover the armory of the six states.It was intended to be left to the rebuilt garrison, but later Qiandu neglected to inspect it, and no one cared about these armories.”

Fei Sheng stood up, ignoring the mud on his knees, and said: “There are many important siege weapons among them. If they fall into the hands of the Biansha people, Duanzhou will be in danger.”

“Keep following.” Shen Zechuan said.

The wheels got stuck in the mud and the horses couldn’t pull them.

Liu Er was wrapped in a coat and wearing a drum hat and wanted to curl up, but he failed to do so.The Biansha man pretending to be a merchant dragged him out of the carriage by his ankles, whipped him awake with a riding crop, and scolded him: “Stand up and go push the cart!”

Liu Er said “ouch” several times, quickly got up, and limped over to push the cart.He was old and his hands were shaking, and someone stepped on his foot that was on the ground. The pain made him almost kneel down.There were many bandits following the car on this trip, and they were all surrendered by the Biansha people and worked hard under the whips of horses.

The Luoshan bandits returned defeated in Cizhou, and the news that Lei Jingzhe was a secret work of the Forbidden Army spread like wildfire. As a result, Luoshan split into more than a dozen small hills, and they fought with each other.Liu Er Ding Niu and his like are on their own, and they all want to recreate the glory of Lei Changming and become the master of Luoshan.Unexpectedly, they were dispersed by bandits assisted by the Biansha Cavalry in Duanzhou. Not only did they lose the main force, they were also captured again and became prisoners of the Biansha Cavalry.

Ding Niu refused to carry food for the Biansha cavalry and was killed at the end of July.Liu’er cherished his life and did not dare to resist anymore. Now he specially escorted grain trucks for the Biansha people.

He hunched his body like a six-eared monkey, and his long eyebrows trembled with his movements.He blends in the crowd and doesn’t dare to be lazy in front of the men in Biansha.But even so, he could not escape the whipping.Liu Er grimaced in pain and tried his best to lower his body so that others could block him.

The road was difficult to walk, and there were heavy breathing sounds in the cold night. These accustomed bandits could not withstand the horse whips of the border people, and many of them were beaten to pieces.The carriage stopped when it reached Yin, and several columns of cavalry were wandering around, yelling at the bandits to stand still.

Liu’er’s coat was torn by the whip, with tatters leaking out.He folded his arms and waded in the thin ice mud puddle with his feet. His robe had long been torn and his trouser legs were dangling, exposing his legs like hemp stalks. The old man was shivering from the cold.

The men in Biansha want to eat, but the bandits can only stand on the edge to block the wind.

Liu’er folded his hands, his eyes were so hungry that stars were popping up in his eyes, he licked his lips and quietly squatted down to rest.

“When will this bitch’s life end?” the old man in front of him muttered, taking off the cloth bag stuffed on his back and tying it around his waist, “Damn it, I’m going to be beaten to death by these bitches this time! These bitches are so stupid, they beat people like animals!”

Liu’er moved his feet, his mouth sore from hunger, and he wanted to take a cigarette.He fumbled in his sleeves for a long time, pinched out some tobacco flakes, put it to his nose and smelled it vigorously, and said: “He doesn’t study, so don’t you treat people like animals? The ones with tattoos are all wild beasts and birds of prey, and they drink raw blood.”

The old man spat a few times and said, “If I had known I would end up like this, I would have defected to the Forbidden Army when I was in Cizhou. Damn it, I wouldn’t have taken advantage of the Biansha people.”

“You’re talking nonsense,” Liu’er stuffed the tobacco star seeds back, and he sneaked a look at the Biansha man through his legs, “We are all grass bandits, what’s the end of joining the Forbidden Army? We’re not just traitors. These weapons are sent over to fight Libei and Zhongbo. By then, even the emperor of Quduli may have to be a prisoner, and we will have to kneel as the Biansha Emperor.”

Before Liu Er could finish his words, Jiu Bu suddenly pulled him up.Liu Er’s legs were trembling, and he stood up straight against them, not daring to look around.

The man from Biansha was named Jida. His head was shaved off, revealing his muscular arms with a poisonous scorpion tattooed on them.He passed by wiping his mouth, and the look in his eyes made Liu Er’s legs shake even more, and he was about to pee his pants.

But Jeddah did not cause trouble for them tonight, and took people to the front, where a heavy vehicle carrying the Fuzi Crossbow was parked. The Biansha people were very interested in giant siege engines like the Fuzi Crossbow.

The bandits were resting where they were. The dry food was soaked in moisture and smelled musty.Liu Er’s yellow teeth are all from smoke, so he ate the dry food.Several people gathered together to keep warm. Fortunately, it didn’t rain tonight, otherwise more than a few people would have froze to death.They sat on the floor, not daring to fall asleep.

The six-eared man got old and gradually couldn’t hold on any longer, so he dozed off leaning on the wheel.

“There are so few accompanying troops?” Fei Sheng squatted down again and checked his steps, “Most of them are bandits pushing carts, and there are not many cavalry on the border.”

The guerrilla put on a helmet and sat on the horse like a statue made of iron.As he reined in his horse, he made a dull voice: “They are disguised just because they don’t want to alarm others. I’m afraid there are internal agents in Luoshan, otherwise they wouldn’t dare to go so deep here. Mr. Fu, if you want to find out who is cooperating with them inside and outside, you have to stop them and investigate them clearly before they enter the territory of Luoshan.”

There were not many people accompanying the Libei Iron Cavalry, but they were all elites from the battlefield and followed Xiao Fangxu to fight against the Viper.It was dark and frosty, and with the Jinyi Guards assisting in the battle, it would not be a problem to stop this small group of people.

Shen Zechuan glanced at the night and said, “Ding Tao stays where he is, Fei Sheng, follow the Libei Iron Cavalry.”

* * *

Liu Er woke up from the cold, rubbing his feet, feeling that half of his life was about to be frozen.He raised his head and saw the Biansha cavalry standing far in front, all surrounded by bed crossbows.This crossbow cannot be pulled open by one person. It is usually used to suppress the formation or defend the city. It is an absolutely heavy weapon in battle. It is very common in the Libei camp. The Biansha Cavalry has suffered a lot from it.

No one called out in Liu Er. He put his hands on the ground and quietly sneaked back under the cover of the carriage.He crawled under the car and stayed close to the ground to avoid sight.When he climbed to the end, he almost jumped forward on his shoes and started running in a panic.

Jida was wiping the arrow when he suddenly flashed his eyes and shouted in Biansha dialect: “Someone ran away!”

The Biansha cavalry immediately got on their horses, whipped and shouted, and chased after them.

Liu Er never thought that Jida’s eyes were so poisonous!From such a long distance, I can still see myself in such a deep night.He wanted to stop and used peeing as an excuse, but when he turned around and saw that the scimitar had been unsheathed, he knew that if he didn’t run away tonight, he would die!

Liu Er tightened his belt angrily and kicked off his shoes in the mud.he fell down and got up again, seeing the death of Ding Niu in front of him.

They were able to become famous in Luoshan because of the Biansha Cavalry. Now they are prisoners in Luoshan, and it is also because of the Biansha Cavalry!

Liu’er asked his grandfather and grandma vaguely, and asked all the gods and Buddhas he knew.The old man had sores on the soles of his feet, and his facial features were wrinkled together in pain. He was afraid of death, and even wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy right now.

But the scolding of the Biansha cavalry was obviously not as simple as taking Liu Er back. They were not short of people, but they were short of chickens that could only be slaughtered in public.Liu Er shivered and fell into the mud puddle.

The Biansha cavalry surrounded him, and Liu Er burst into tears immediately.He raised his hands and realized that he peed his pants in the cold muddy water.The turbid urine smell was stained all over the trouser legs. Liu Er could not understand the Biansha language and could only kowtow to the cavalry in horror.

“I was wrong,” Liu Er cried unconsciously, “Don’t kill me!”

The Biansha cavalry coughed a few times and spat thick phlegm on Liu Er’s face.They smashed Liu Er’s back with their scabbards and made Liu Er lie down in the mud to drink dirty water.The man with six ears and two long eyebrows was picked up by a machete. He drank the water in fear, crying and laughing, his face stained with snot and tears.

Jida stood there and watched the cavalry playing with the six ears. He crossed one leg, kicked off the cover of the crossbow on the bed, and asked someone to drag the six ears away so that he could try the crossbow with the six ears.

Liu Er heard the sound of the crossbow moving on the bed, and he was scared out of his wits. He was dragged to his knees on the ground, slapping himself with both hands and swearing obscenely.

Why are you running?!

Liu Er fanned himself until his cheeks were red and swollen, and he was picked up and hung far away.Liu’er bent over and gasped for air, watching the cavalry load arrows on their crossbows.The arrow was as thick as a human arm, and the arrowhead was unusual. It had a round head made of iron. When it fell from the sky, it could hit a person’s brains and splatter them.The wheel shaft started to rotate “clattering”, and as long as Jida pulled the trigger, Liu Er could watch the arrow fly high into the sky and then hit him.

Liu Er moved his mouth in silence, and courage emerged from nowhere. He bared his yellow teeth and cursed: “Fuck your ancestors! Fuck your ancestors!”

Liu Er’s face was filled with tears, and he was so choked that he felt like he might die at any moment.

He used to be a bandit, but he was not alone. He had children at home.My wife is a very good girl. She was my childhood sweetheart who came out of the village with him. The couple had three children only after they were old enough. Two of the daughters were married in the third year of Hamdeok. As long as they passed that winter, they could get married.The son wanted to join the garrison, but Liu’er had a long relationship with Lei Changming before he was sent to the Duanzhou garrison.

As a result, all the Duanzhou garrison died in the Chashi Tiankeng that year, and the Biansha cavalry came to massacre the city.
