The young man riding the horse at the front is clearly Laval of the De La family. He has a proud look on his face and is obviously very proud to be able to direct this action. Behind him are two young men with similar looks, who are also smiling. They are also close friends of Laval. The two brothers of the Shaqeli family are known as the Little Shaqeer. Next to them is a soldier with a fierce look on his face. He is wearing a traditional Pancha robe and a turban hanging from his waist. The scimitar and the long riding boots on his feet showed that he was different from the others.
"Coming, coming." The armed soldiers behind them all cheered, and a few galloping horses in the distance raised a cloud of smoke. They were the detective horses sent out to reconnoiter the situation. Even the brothers Laval and Shaqeli were excited. stand up. But the capable soldier next to him could not help but frown. Such lax military discipline could not but embarrass him. As an elite guard of the Pangzhe tribe, he actually had to cooperate with this gang of rogues. In his heart, I was very unhappy in the first place, but it was actually the orders from my superiors and the huge interests that forced them to come together, and I could only be a collaborator.
The scouts brought back good news. Everything is going according to plan. The self-defense forces of the five tribes in Green Sea Swamp only have 2,000 people. They have only been formed recently, and their combat effectiveness is almost negligible. They are now scattered throughout Mingzhu Town. Responsible for maintaining law and order; and the biggest enemy is a security regiment in Shuangdui Mansion. These 4,000-strong troops cannot be underestimated, but more than half of them have also been sent by themselves to disguise themselves as a small group of horse thieves. Attracted to the south.
Since half a month ago, a group of horse thieves from the West Luzon region rushed in from the south and continued to harass the south of the five Green Sea tribes. Many caravans coming to celebrate the harvest festival have been looted. This news It was quickly spread to Mingzhu Town. It was the duty of the security forces to clean up public security. In addition, the Indians in the west had always been very honest. At the request of the five tribes, only one brigade of soldiers from one regiment was left for garrison. The remaining four brigades of more than 3,000 people all set off to the south two days ago to look for the damn horse thief.
The gang of horse thieves were naturally "composed" by Laval's men, and their purpose was of course conceivable. However, Laval even felt that even this previous move was unnecessary, because in this raid, in addition to the 6,000 private troops owned by the Dera family and the Shaceli family, with the consent of the chief, even the Panja tribe’s The Guards also made an exception and dispatched two thousand-man teams, obviously also paying attention to the goal of this operation.
With such strength, Laval does not take the Self-Defense Forces and Guard Forces seriously at all. In his opinion, even in a head-on confrontation, his side is sure of victory, let alone in this state now. Thinking of this, he felt more and more that his uncle was too old. He was so timid and lost countless opportunities. With the Dela family in his hands, there was no way it would be prosperous and strong again.
After listening to the scout's report, brothers Laval and Shaceli were overjoyed. The plan was so smooth. They were about to get the fat. They just waited for themselves to get it. Thinking of the rich treasures of gold, silver and beautiful women from the five tribes, The three people's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and they exchanged glances with each other. LaVar raised his hand to give the order to attack.
"Wait a minute!" A deep and rich voice next to him interrupted Laval's order.
Laval's expression changed, and he was about to get angry. The Shaqeli brothers next to him quickly pulled Laval's clothes with their quick hands, and the other one also winked at him repeatedly. Only then did Laval suppress his anger and finally interrupted him. The people in question were not his subordinates, but the bodyguards who came to assist him.
"Lord Mosso, do you have anything else to add?" Laval's words were full of impatience.
Ignoring Laval's expression, with a vigorous face, he stroked his neatly combed beard, and then said: "I still have a few questions I want to check."
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to buy his account, Laval's face became even more ugly. He was just a small captain, but he dared to be so arrogant. Laval couldn't help snorting from his nose, "What else does Mr. Mosso have? Not sure? Why not let me answer it."
The bearded officer was startled for a moment, as if he could see Laval's dissatisfaction, but he still insisted: "Okay, I want to ask if those thousands of security troops have really reached the south a hundred miles away. ?”
"Indeed, our people brought us news today, and it is absolutely untrue." The Shaqeli brothers came forward to smooth things over.
"There's another thing I don't understand. Why don't these five tribes send people to monitor the surrounding situation? Now that the Harvest Conference is bustling, aren't they afraid that someone will take advantage of the troubled waters?" Moso's question made me wonder. Several people present were shocked.
"Didn't we explain it just now? Their self-defense forces are only on guard near Mingzhu Town. They don't have more power to put on the outside. In the past few days, more than 100,000 people have entered this area from all over the surrounding areas. It’s good if they can maintain law and order in Mingzhu Town. How can they have so much energy to take care of the outside world?” Laval said solemnly.
"What about the troops stationed at Zijingguan in the north? Are there any unusual movements?" Moso asked still unhurriedly.
"Lord Mosuo, you can rest assured. There are only less than 2,000 patrols stationed in the Zijingguan Fortress. They are too busy to deal with things there and it is impossible to come here." The intelligence work of the Shaqeli brothers It did take some thought, but seeing that Moso still looked worried, he quickly added: "What's more, as early as more than ten days ago, we set up a hidden line around Mingzhu Town and monitored it day and night. If there is any big disturbance, we will notify you immediately. us."
Mosso couldn't really find anything wrong with the Shaceli brothers' explanation, but he always felt that the other party's defense measures were too lax. Such a large-scale celebration was held next to neighbors who had a history of plundering many times. There is no way he could be so careless, unless this was a deliberately set trap!
Thinking of this, Mosuo couldn't help being shocked, but before he could speak, Laval, who was already furious, couldn't bear it anymore and said rudely: "Mosuo, you are so hideous and timid. It's damaging to the prestige of our Panzhai warriors. I really can't believe how you got to the position of captain. Are you just putting your head in your crotch and being a coward?! There are dangers in fighting. If you want to make profits, If you don't want to take the risk, I think if you are really scared, you might as well not go, but I can tell you that the things the Chief has requested are for you to complete, and if you don't go, you will bear the responsibility!"
LaVar's tone was strong and showed no respect at all. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Mosso's caution.
Mosuo was angered by the other party's insulting words. This was a provocation to the Panzha warriors and a great insult to himself. His eyes were spitting fire, and with one hand holding the scimitar at his waist, Moso was about to step forward. Seeing that a fight was about to start among themselves before they could attack, the Shaqeli brothers quickly separated and tried to persuade them.
After some persuasion, Mosuo reluctantly agreed to the attack plan. After all, his superiors had also issued an order to snatch back the cloud clam. If he failed to complete the task, it would be difficult for him to explain it when he returned. After being blown away by these guys, he really It was difficult to make a deal, and although there were still doubts in the mind, under the solemn guarantee of the Shaqeli brothers, the Ponjak attack team finally embarked on the journey.
The march was very smooth. After bypassing the small mound, you could see the Mingzhu Town standing next to the Green Sea Swamp. The soldiers who accelerated their march even smelled the smell of wealth everywhere.
However, the situation when turning around the hill was like a nightmare, which made the first few people feel heartbroken. A mile away there was already a group of neatly armored and helmeted soldiers attacking the formation. In the middle was a heavy infantry formation with thick armor, and on both sides were naturally the cavalry formations with a force of iron pincers. On one side was a bright and dazzling golden roc. The Chongxiao flag stood majestically in the center of the formation, obviously waiting for one's side to surrender.
The pale-faced Laval was dumbfounded, and the Shaqeli brothers almost fell off their horses. In despair, Mosso glanced at the ugly group of aristocratic children who only knew how to have fun. The private soldiers had already been in chaos. What to do. Before any reaction could be made by the Byzhe people, the Jinpeng flag was raised high and waved by the opponent's flag bearer. The iron hoofs shook the sky, and the two-winged cavalry swept towards the chaotic team of Byzhe people with a violent wind. Come.
The sparse arrow rain had almost no impact on the cavalry that rushed towards them with lightning speed. It was like two sharp knives that penetrated deeply into the huge camp that was surrounded by people with no morale, and immediately stirred up bursts of blood. fog. The people who had lost their formation could only fight on their own in despair, and were soon divided into several pieces. At this moment, the other Biaoqi who came from behind was like boiling water and snow, and rushed towards them. The escort team that finally struggled to form a formation was smashed into pieces. At this point, there was no longer any suspense in this extremely asymmetrical battle formation.
The private soldiers who lost their fighting spirit were the first to throw down their weapons and surrender. Just like a contagion, soon there were no more fighting soldiers on the battlefield, except for the soldiers who were besieged in the northwest corner.
A strong will cannot replace the gap in strength. Seeing that the more than two thousand elite soldiers under his command were quickly reduced to very few, Mosuo, who knew his fate was sealed, couldn't help but burst into tears. He never imagined that after more than ten years of hard work, he would end up in such a situation. He was really unwilling to end up in ruins.
The collision between the scimitar and the big ax gradually emitted golden light. The strength of the opponent's general was indeed extraordinary. No matter how hard he tried, he still felt exhausted with the heavy blows of the ax, while the opponent seemed to have some power. The endless exertion of strength and the ease with which he lifted his weight were perfectly reflected in him. Finally, with the sound of "clang", the weapons were interlaced, and the scimitar jumped in the air with several wonderful postures and fell back to the ground. At this time, the rope tightened. Only after Mosuo got out of his body did he realize that he was the only two fighting parties left on the entire battlefield.
