Bard Mountain was stunned. Thousands of people were sleeping rough in front of this valley without a village or shop? He said hurriedly: "Marquis Wei, if you walk ten miles past this valley, there will be a posthouse. It's only afternoon now, so we should be able to make it in time. However, it doesn't seem appropriate to rest in front of this valley."
"What a **** idea." Commander Qiu from the front turned around, the white cloth on one end looked a little funny, and said viciously, "Who doesn't know that you can't get in at all times, but you want to rest here? I don't care if you want to die, I I won’t accompany you to make mistakes!”
"Oh?" Feng Zhiwei smiled slightly, "Commander Qiu, I don't think it's appropriate to go forward."
"I think it's OK!"
"Really?" Feng Zhiwei said with a good temper, "Is it really appropriate?"
"It would be inappropriate not to leave!"
"Since it's so appropriate." Feng Zhi smiled and said, "Your army is familiar with the road, and this is a valley. I have to ask your army to explore the road in front. I don't think there is any need to protect our flanks. We will wait until there are more people." If we can't get through if we are crowded together, the thousand men of your army should go ahead."
"Of course!" Commander Qiu sneered, "I will find a good way for you, otherwise how dare you leave?" With a whistle, a thousand people gathered, and the smoke billowed forward.
Behind him, Feng Zhiwei was sitting high on the horse, tapping the reins with her fingers, looking at the backs of a thousand people, showing her unique misty smile.
Commander Qiu galloped forward with a thousand guards. He was not an idiot. He came from a family of military generals and naturally knew how to march troops. Before entering the valley, he climbed up the cliff to take a look. There was nothing on the cliff. He was relieved. After walking all the way, he waved his hand and said: "Open the way!"
Thousands of guards were ordered to gallop forward. Commander Qiu sneered as he looked at Tiansheng's team who had stopped and retreated far away. He thought that he would have to laugh at that pretty boy once he passed by later.
Suddenly I heard several shouts of "Ouch!" and with the sound of dead branches breaking, the group of guards running at the front suddenly disappeared.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they discovered that the flat land in front of them, which looked like piles of weeds, had actually been dug into a large hole, with dead branches and broken grass spread lightly on it. The guards rushed away, and immediately He fell into the pit, but the guards behind him couldn't catch up and crashed into it one after another. The pit suddenly became filled with shouts of ouch and ouch.
This trap is nothing unusual. It is a common tactic used by military strategists, but it is used here. It is a bit eccentric. In this kind of mountain, usually people would ambush on the top of the cliff and attack each other with rolling stones, but the opponent found a unique way. There is nothing at the top, the problem lies underground. People who have already looked at the top of the cliff and lost their guard can easily be fooled.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people and horses trapped in the pit, but the pit was not deep, and there were no spikes or hidden stakes planted to hurt people. The guards who fell into the pit were all climbing out with difficulty, and some even While trying to pull out his mount, Commander Qiu looked livid and shouted: "Hurry up and pull the people out, the archers are ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone somewhere on the cliff shouted coldly: "Let go!"
This sound was crisp and clear, and the final note was still vibrating in the air. A roaring sound suddenly appeared from all sides. In the roaring sound, a hidden vine on the cliff was lifted up, and it turned out to be a cave. Several men stood at the entrance of the cave. He drew the bow and shot down, and the long arrow on the bow ignited a blazing fire. It turned out to be a rocket. In an instant, the fire flashed like a rain of crimson meteors falling from the sky, and suddenly it went straight to the big pit where the guards and horses were trapped!
This time, I was even more caught off guard. The rocket was shot down. In an instant, the people and horses in the pit were on fire. The people ran up with a loud "ouch", and the guards on all sides dispersed. The horses were frightened and neighed wildly. The hooves jumped up into a trap that was not too high, and crashed into the guard group behind them with fire all over them. Animals are afraid of fire, and the more than a thousand guard horses were frightened immediately, jumping around in a commotion, but the mouth of the valley was narrow. At this time, they were all crowded together, and sparks were flying everywhere. All the horses were in a state of madness, jumping in all directions, some knocking their owners off, some trampling on each other, and some turning around. Run, the guards kept shouting and couldn't control themselves. They were knocked down accidentally and were trampled half to death. For a moment, people screamed and horses neighed and screamed for help. The mouth of the valley suddenly turned into a boiling pot of **** porridge.
Commander Qiu was so anxious that his eyes were on fire. He jumped up on the rocks and issued orders repeatedly in order to organize the troops. However, everyone was too distracted to take care of themselves at this time. Who could listen to his orders? Even if he yelled at the top of his lungs, he was just drowned in the boiling noise.
Compared with his irritability and anger, the other party seemed calm, calm and well-trained. A group of bandits, more like a regular army than a regular army. As Banya shouted coldly again: "Shoot!" The arrows rained again, this time It is no longer a rocket, but a short crossbow, with five arrows in one bow. The powerful short crossbow shoots arrows like a storm. With the continuous command of the man on the cliff: "Left front! Right back! Westward!" Hesitantly shot towards the thousand guards. The person who gave the order had extremely precise vision and effective command. The direction he gave the order was either where the guards were most confused, or where the horses had just charged, or where The guards were about to settle down and were about to retreat. They intercepted left and right. Shengsheng used the arrows he commanded to shoot most of the scattered guards to death, and gradually forced the remaining guards and horses to squeeze together. .
Commander Qiu also saw something was wrong at this time. It was obvious that the other party was a powerful figure. He wanted to force the remaining guards into one place and then shoot them to death at once. If a thousand elite guards were killed by the bandits, the entire army would be destroyed. If you are destroyed, you will suffer unexpected disasters!
At this moment, he finally felt regretful in his heart - he originally knew that there were bandits in Tengshan, and he knew that the bandits here were particularly tough and ferocious, and their power was not small. They were deserters from Tiansheng who were separated on the battlefield in his early years. , it is said that they specialize in robbing the passing troops of the Xiliang government. He relies on his own elite bodyguards of a thousand, and he also feels that how can a strong soldier who was born in the Imperial Forest Army be no match for a group of stragglers who have turned into bandits? I want to show off to these people, and I also want to boost the power of the Xiliang army in front of the Tiansheng envoy team. It would be better if I can make the Tiansheng envoy team flee in panic after the bandits robbed them, and I can rescue them myself. Look. What else can that pretty guy with a reputation be proud of! Unexpectedly, for some reason, that pretty boy could foresee the danger and stop moving forward, forcing himself to suffer this disaster!
Recalling the strict regent in the city and the instructions he gave to him before leaving, Commander Qiu shuddered and finally felt that some people and things were not as simple as he thought. He had lived at the emperor's feet for a long time and was favored because of his good martial arts. Now he was really going to waste his life because of this mere bandit.
