Horse on the World

Chapter 733 Wind Rises from Lianshan Island (3)

The sun was excellent during the day, and the moonlight was like water at night, which brought great trouble to the sneaking daredevils. The armor was removed from their bodies again, and they were buried in a hidden place. Among them, the sound made by the collision of nail leaves often startles the birds in the trees. Although it seems insignificant, for them, any insignificant thing is enough to kill them.

The rotten leaves that fell on the ground are soft and soft to step on, like walking on a carpet. The moonlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the sneaking figures like ghosts, appearing and disappearing from time to time.This group of death squads is indeed of excellent quality. They have opened a distance of about ten feet between each other, covering each other, and advancing alternately. Branch, staring at a pair of green eyes, looking at a group of unexpected guests.

The place Hu Bin was looking for was actually the place where Qingfeng lived in Lianshan Island. It was extremely quiet and secret, and it was indeed a good place to hide. After Qingfeng left, this place was left idle. Everyone on the road, even if they know that this place is the best in terms of scenery and safety, but no one intends to live here, because Qingfeng's status is too special, and no one wants to occupy the place she used to use. So this place has been vacant all the time, only three or two people are left to take care of the large flock of birds left here after Qingfeng left.

These birds were used by Qingfeng for experiments. Later, it was found that only one kind of pigeon was suitable for long-distance communication, and the other birds were used by Qingfeng as a pastime in their spare time. It was still preserved, and the people who were called by Qingfeng to train the birds only left three or two people to take care of it, and continue to train the pigeons for communication by the way.

The group of people trained by Hei Ying at the beginning were all brought back to Dingzhou by Qingfeng, but as long as Hei Ying is still here, it is not difficult to train a few more.

Hu Bin couldn't help being surprised when he found that there were houses here, and one house was still lit. With a wave of his hand, everyone fell down quietly.

Listening attentively, there was only the chirping of some birds. Hu Bin waved his hand, and immediately two people rushed out with short bodies, while the rest immediately dispersed and approached slowly like a fan.

The two of them ups and downs, and swept along the lake into the small forest on the other side. The birds' calls quickly became louder, and the two team members were startled. There are so many birdcages hanging on the ground, and so many birds are raised, lying on the ground, not daring to move.

In the forest, the door of the lighted room was pushed open with a creak, and two people came out, "It's strange, why are these birds so noisy today? It's time, and it's not over yet?"

"Maybe the battle during the day has frightened them?" One man said to himself, "Who knows? Go and see! Maybe some wild beast came in, frightened them, and drove them away." That's it."

"What kind of beasts can there be? After we entered the island, the original beasts have been killed off."

Another chuckled, "To these birds, I'm afraid a weasel or a wild cat is more terrifying than a beast?"

"That's true!" replied the other.

The two walked into the grove, checked the birds hanging on the tree one by one, raised the lantern in their hands, and the light reflected their faces, the two death squads lying on the ground looked at each other, nodded, and stood on the ground. Crawling for a few steps like a snake, he suddenly jumped up and stuck to the opponent's back, with one hand choking their throats, while the short blade in the other hand stabbed in from the back without a sound, causing the two people in front of him to convulse. Slowly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, full of fear.As soon as the lantern in his hand fell halfway, it was picked up by two team members.

After dragging the two dead men behind the tree, they lifted the lantern and walked towards the lighted room.

There was another person in the room. Hearing the footsteps of the two people outside, the person in the room greeted him, "What's the matter, the birds are so noisy today?"

The two daredevils quickened their pace, rushed to the front room in one step, grabbed the man one by one to the left and one to the right, and inserted two knives from under both sides at the same time. Two team members quickly dragged it to the inner room and threw it on the ground.Immediately, he looked around to confirm that there was no one else here. A team member walked to the door and made a few gestures, and Hu Bin and others came out from the hiding place, all with knives out of their sheaths and arrows on their strings.

The two murderous team members walked outside the house. The man who fell on the ground in the house squirmed slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes. , his eyes were full of horror, he struggled to move, the pain was so painful that he couldn't move, the blood gushed out from under his flanks, looking at his injury, the man's face was full of misery, and he put his hands on the ground, Slowly propped up, one hand held the table leg, the other hand touched a black cloth-covered birdcage on the table, pulled the black cloth off, and there was the sound of cooing pigeons inside.

He gasped for a few breaths, and with the sound of his heavy panting, a lot of blood gushed out. He finally touched the bird's door, pulled out the latch, reached into the cage, and caught the pigeon. , tried his best to throw the pigeon out of the window.With a cooing sound, the pigeon circled around outside the window, then took off with its wings and sank into the darkness.

Although there was not much movement in the house, it still alarmed the crowd outside. Even though several people rushed into the house, they only saw a bloody man struggling on the ground a few times, and finally lay prone on the ground without moving.

"What's going on?" Hu Bin was very dissatisfied, "Your subordinates are so unfavorable?"

The previous two team members were very wronged, two knives were pierced from the side, who would have expected that this fate was so hard, and they could last until now?One person rushed forward and stabbed down with a knife again. The corpse on the ground did not move. When he pulled out the knife, blood sprayed out immediately.

"It's unnecessary!" Hu Bin said, "It's cleaned up, maybe someone will come up here sometime!"

A group of people moved immediately, and within less than a stick of incense, everything in the room was restored to its original state, except for the loss of three people, it was the same as before. Of course, the cage on the table was beaten, and a bird flew out. Pigeons, no one will know.

"Three of them are missing, will they alert the other party?" one person asked.

Hu Bin thought for a while and shook his head, "It's impossible in a short period of time. The soldiers are in a panic now, and it's difficult for the other party to confirm for a while, and they don't think we have dived up. We only need two or three days to do it." Yes. Since there are people living here, it is not a long-lived place. Let's go out and check to see if there is any hiding place nearby. This place is closer to the other party's residence, so we should be able to observe where their supplies are shipped from. "

"Yes!" Several team members rushed out of the house, while Hu Bin sat by the lamp and began to think hard about what to do next.

Half an hour later, the team members who went out to inquire came back and reported that they found a relatively secret cave nearby, and there should be no problem hiding them. Hu Bin and others left here immediately.

At the foot of the mountain, Zheng Zhiqiang stood on the wall with a map on it. The defense situation of the entire Lianshan Island was drawn on the map. Several thick red lines pointed to the defense line from several directions. The opponent's offensive was undoubtedly powerful. Next, It will be a more brutal hand-to-hand combat than the previous few days. Every line of defense will be soaked in blood. Looking behind the line of defense, it represents the dense blue dots of one's own side. Each small dot is a trebuchet. When the opponent When attacking the breakwater, the dense group of soldiers will encounter a devastating blow on the unsheltered breakwater.

The most worrying thing is still the defense line around the shipyard and ship repair yard. Whether Kuang Zheng can withstand the opponent's attack is the key. From the inside, it has always been the weakness of the defense. Although the terrain is steep, the steep terrain makes it difficult for the opponent to attack , It also made it impossible for my side to arrange large-scale ordnance there, and the few trebuchets that were barely placed were difficult to kill the opponent's infantry on a large scale.Especially under the suppression of the opponent's ships, it is even more difficult to play a supporting role for one's own side. Perhaps, I should transfer some soldiers to support Kuang Zhengyi tomorrow.

Touching the beard that had just grown on his lips, Zheng Zhiqiang fell into deep thought. It would not be a day or two for him to stay here, it might be a month or two or even longer. The situation on the side.

A pigeon cooed outside the window, interrupting Zheng Zhiqiang's contemplation. He stood up and looked at the open window. A pigeon flew in at this moment and landed on the table in front of him.

"Carrier pigeon?" Zheng Zhiqiang was startled, and reached out to grab the pigeon in his hand. The pigeon's leg was not tied with a sealed letter box, and he couldn't help being very surprised. Small copper rings, which represent pigeons in training.Looking at the blood stains on the pigeon's snow-white feathers, cold sweat broke out from Zheng Zhiqiang's body in an instant.

There is only one place on Lianshan Island that has this kind of carrier pigeon under training, and that is Miss Qingfeng's former residence, but why is this pigeon's body covered with blood? His body was stained with human blood.The difference between human blood and animal blood can be easily distinguished by a person like Zheng Zhiqiang.

A few strides rushed out of the house, staring at the towering peaks of Lianshan Island, Zheng Zhiqiang's face suddenly showed a ferocious look.

"Come here!" he called softly.

"What orders does General Zheng have?" A school lieutenant came over.

"Find a few old brothers from the Marine Corps and climb up two mountains to investigate. Be careful not to reveal your whereabouts, but quietly, and don't disturb anyone, including along the way." Zheng Zhiqiang ordered.

The school lieutenant was startled, "The general suspects..."

Zheng Zhiqiang handed him the blood-stained pigeon. The lieutenant took a look and his face changed color. "General, I will take someone there myself!"

Zheng Zhiqiang nodded, "Be careful. If someone really sneaks up, don't disturb him for the time being. You go first and quietly inform the leaders of each team, as well as those from the supply team, to come to me."
