Water Margin people

Chapter 561 Set fire to the mountain
After Song Jiang finished speaking, he really let the soldiers around him set up camp, as if they would not leave.

"Brother, little brother is willing to take the risk to charge and kill!"

Yang Zhi cupped his fists at Sun Lei and said, Song Jiang must extinguish his arrogance for being so arrogant, otherwise Liang Shan's face will be lost.

"Song Jiang's scheming is still a bit off. If he turns around and leaves, I will have a hard time. His camping in the same place just means that there are people ambushing on the mountains on both sides."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, Song Jiang's behavior has confirmed their conjecture, so there is no need to take risks.

"Brother, this mountain is high and densely forested. If you want to go up the mountain, you may have to be ambushed."

Lin Chong pointed to the mountains on both sides and attacked with his head up, especially facing the dense forest, it was extremely difficult to attack from his head up.

"Which mountain do you go to? It's almost dark. If you go up the mountain, you're going to die. Anyway, it's two isolated mountains. Light a fire for me and burn these two mountains. I want to see what he's hiding!"

Pointing to the two isolated mountains, Sun Lei said, no matter what Song Jiang hid, the truth will be revealed once the fire burns.

"Yes, brother."

Everyone's eyes lit up, fire attack is indeed the best choice, it can smash the enemy's conspiracy without a single soldier.

……

Erlong Mountain Camp.

"Brother, then Sun Lei dare not come over!"

Deng Long and the others looked smug, no matter what the reason was, they bluffed Sun Lei anyway.

"Sun Lei didn't dare to come over!"

Song Jiang was so angry that he gritted his teeth, thinking that he would destroy Sun Lei in the first battle, but now it seems that Sun Lei is not so easy to be fooled.

"Fire! The mountain is on fire!"

Xue Yong pointed to the high mountains on both sides, and there was a big fire spreading at the foot of the mountain.

"No, Sun Lei set fire to the mountain!"

Hu Yanzhuo's face changed drastically. They are now in a low-lying place. Once the fire spreads, they will be swallowed by the fire.

"Get out of the valley!"

Guan Sheng let out a loud roar, and the minions who were camping just now hurriedly withdrew out of the mountain.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

"Speed ​​down the mountain!"

……

Suddenly there was a loud shout in the valley. This voice made everyone around Song Jiang puzzled. The voice obviously did not come from their side.

"The voice comes from the mountains!"

"There are people on the mountain!"

Guan Sheng and the others changed their expressions at this time, looking at the two high mountains with suspicion, besides them and Sun Lei, there was actually a third army nearby.

"Brother Song Jiang, what are those?"

Hearing the shouts on the mountain, everyone looked at Song Jiang. It seems that Song Jiang chose this place to ambush Sun Lei.

"Go first!"

Song Jiang felt great hatred in his heart, the perfect trap was broken by Sun Lei just like that.

……

"Look, there are quite a few people in ambush!"

Sun Lei pointed to the fleeing people on the mountains on both sides, the number of which was several thousand.

"Song Jiang actually has so many people?"

Everyone couldn't believe it, Liangshan has only [-] soldiers and horses, and Song Jiang has tens of thousands of horses in just a few months?
"These people retreated in an orderly manner, unlike ordinary gangsters."

Lin Chong squinted his eyes for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, all he could see were the blurred shadows cast by the flames. These people kept order even though they retreated, and they didn't trample on each other in a mess. Some look.

"That's right, it's a little strange. You can see that Song Jiang's men are in a panic when they escape."

Sun Lei pointed at Song Jiang's army that was making a mess in the dark night. This is how authentic bandits should look when they escape.

"It's a pity that the fire has started now, so we can't pursue it."

Sun Lei said with some regret that the enemy's plot was exposed, all plans came to naught, and he fled in a hurry.

It is a good time to pursue, but the fire has already started and will soon spread to the whole mountain, it is too dangerous to go into the mountain to pursue now.

"The army rests where it is, and will pursue it tomorrow!"

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and ordered, since you can't pursue them, you should rest well, Song Jiang and the others can't run far, and everything will be revealed when they chase them tomorrow.

……

Song Jiang fled with the army for dozens of miles before stopping. Looking at the two high mountains that had turned into a sea of ​​flames in the distance, they all looked terrified. They didn't expect Sun Lei to be so vicious.

"Set fire to the mountain directly! Is Sun Lei really going to burn us all to death!"

Yanshun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a look of the rest of his life, he is not a good person, he has done many murders and robbed goods, and he has a lot of lives in his hands, but setting fire to thousands of people will kill him. Absolutely not.

Killing a few dozens of people is completely different from killing thousands of people at once.Killing a few people is a local wanted criminal, killing dozens of people is a wanted criminal by the court, killing a few thousand people at a time will break away from the ranks of criminals and bandits, and that is a real traitor.

The rest of the people also looked like they had survived the catastrophe, and everyone present had their lives in their hands. It is not too much to call them villains, but villains also have times to be afraid, especially when they meet people who are more vicious than themselves.

"Song Jiang!"

In the dark, a large group of people came over. These came down from the mountain, and they shouted before they got close.

"Song Jiang pays his respects to Fourth Young Master Cai!"

Song Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to bow to the visitor.

"Okay, Song Jiang, are you trying to kill me!"

In the dark, when Cai Tao came over, he yelled at Song Jiang. Song Jiang promised him that he would lure Sun Lei into the ambush circle, but in the end, Sun Lei set fire to the mountain and nearly burned him to death.

"Fourth Master Cai, the villain doesn't even know that Sun Lei dared to set fire to the mountain!"

Song Jiang bowed to Cai Tao with a look of fear.

"Fourth Young Master Cai?"

Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and Dong Ping were stunned when they heard this name. Who else could be called by Song Jiang like this, except for the fourth son of Cai Jing, the grand master of the dynasty, who else could it be?
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, some were bewildered, some were excited, some were puzzled, and some were worried.

"Get up!"

Seeing Song Jiang kneeling in worship, Cai Tao looked at the thousands of followers behind Song Jiang, and waved his hands.

"Fourth Young Master Cai, these are villainous and tough heroes, they are all kind and loyal, and now they are all willing to worship under Cai's family!"

Song Jiang saw that Cai Tao kept looking at the people behind him, and said with a smile, the Cai family wants people, and they want fame, which is a good thing for both sides.

"Mr. Cai, this is the governor of the capital of Runing County, Hu Yanzhuo, who is the ruler of the capital, and the founder of the country, Hu Yanzan. This is Guan Sheng, the patrol inspector of Pudong. His ancestor is Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, the king of Wu'an. This is the governor of Dongping Prefecture. Dong Ping, the general with two guns..."

Song Jiang introduced Cai Tao one by one.

Cai Tao didn't care much about the people behind him. Although their names were bluffing, they were just reckless. Only Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, and Dong Ping surprised him. These three are local generals, and their abilities are beyond words. , especially Guan Sheng, who looks dignified, looks great, and has a heroic face, which is a rare talent.

"Okay! Song Gongming really didn't disappoint me!"

Cai Tao was in a good mood, and looked at Song Jiang with a big smile. He thought that Song Jiang could only recruit some low-ranking grassroots, but Song Jiang actually got him so many talents.

"Father really has a good eye. Although this Song Jiang is inconspicuous, he has something unique among the grassroots."

Cai Tao admired his father in his heart. Their Cai family was already the head of cultural management. It was too difficult to obtain military power through formal channels, so they had to find another way.
