Bai Deshan was stunned. Thousands of people sleep in the open in front of this valley, with no village or shop behind? He hurriedly said: "Wei Hou, after ten miles past this valley, there will be a post house. It's only noon now, we should be in time soon, but it seems inappropriate to rest before this valley."
"What a bastard idea." Commander Qiu in front turned his head, the white cloth on one end was a little funny, and said viciously, "Who doesn't know that you want to rest here? I don't care if you want to die, I won't accompany you Make you a fool!"
"Oh?" Feng Zhi smiled slightly, "Commander Qiu, I don't think it's appropriate to go forward."
"I think it's appropriate!"
"Really?" Feng Zhiwei said with a good temper, "Is it really all right?"
"It would be inappropriate not to leave!"
"Since it's so appropriate." Feng Zhi smiled and said, "Your army is familiar with the roads, and here is a valley, so I have to ask your army to explore the road ahead. I don't think we need to protect our flanks. When there are more people, we will huddle together. If you can’t pass, let the thousand people of your army go ahead.”
"That works!" Commander Qiu sneered, "I will find out the way for you, otherwise how dare you go?" With a whistle, a thousand people gathered, and the smoke and dust rolled forward.
Behind him, Feng Zhiwei sat high on the horse, rapping on the reins with her fingers, looking at the backs of a thousand people, showing her unique, foggy smile.
Commander Qiu galloped forward with a thousand guards. He was not an idiot. He was born in a family of generals and knew how to march. Before entering the valley, he went up the cliff to inspect it. There was nothing on the cliff, so he felt relieved and went all the way. Come down, wave your hand, and say: "Open the way!"
A thousand guards were ordered to gallop forward. Commander Qiu sneered at the Tiansheng team who stopped still and retreated far away, thinking that he would have to laugh at that little boy after a while.
Suddenly heard a few "ouch" shouts, accompanied by the sound of dead branches breaking, the team of guards running in the front suddenly disappeared.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the flat land in front of them, which seemed to be piled up with grass, had actually been dug a big hole, with dead branches and broken grass shallowly spread on it. The guards rushed away and fell into the hole immediately In the middle, the guards behind couldn't catch up, and rushed in one after another, and there was a clamor in the pit.
There is nothing unusual about this trap. It is a common method used by military strategists, but it is used here. It is a bit of a sword. Originally, this kind of mountain is usually an ambush on the top of the cliff to attack each other with rolling stones. No, the problem lies underground. People who have already checked the top of the cliff and lost their vigilance are easily fooled.
At this time, more than a dozen riders were planted in the pit with people and horses, but the pit was not deep, and no sharp piles were planted to hurt people. On his own mount, Commander Qiu with a pale face, shouted: "Quickly pull the man out, the archer is ready!"
As soon as his voice fell, someone somewhere on the cliff shouted coldly: "Let go!"
This sound was crisp and crisp, and the last sound was still vibrating in the air, and there was a whistling sound from all sides. Amidst the whistling sound, a hidden vine on the half cliff was lifted, and it turned out to be a cave. Several men stood at the entrance of the cave, bowing their bows. Shooting, the long arrow on the bow ignited a raging fire, it turned out to be a rocket, the fire flashed like a rain of crimson meteors all over the sky, and went straight to the big pit where the guards and horses fell!
This time it was even more unexpected, the rocket shot down, and in an instant, even the people and the horses were on fire in the pit. Although the people ran up with a "oh", the guards scattered on all sides, and the horses were even more frightened, neighing wildly. Then he jumped into the trap that was not too high, and slammed into the guards behind with a fire all over him. The animals were afraid of fire, and the horses of more than a thousand guards were frightened immediately, jumping around in a commotion, but the valley mouth was narrow. Huddled together, the horses splashed sparks everywhere, and all the horses fell into a state of madness, jumping desperately in all directions, some knocked off their masters, some trampled on each other, and some turned around and ran around. They couldn't control their yelling again and again, they were accidentally knocked down and trampled half to death. At a time, people shouted and screamed for help, and Taniguchi suddenly became a boiling pot of bloody porridge.
Commander Qiu was so anxious that his eyes burned, he jumped onto the rock and issued orders to organize the team, but at this moment, everyone was preoccupied, who could listen to his orders? Shouting broke his throat, but he was drowned in the boiling noise.
Compared with his irascibility, the opponent seemed calm and well-trained, a group of bandits, more like a regular army than a regular army, followed by Ban Ya's cold shout: "Shoot!" Arrows rained again, this time no more It is a rocket, but a short crossbow, one bow with five arrows, a powerful short crossbow, the arrows are like a storm, following the continuous command of the man on the cliff "Left front! Right rear! West!" Among the thousand guards, the person who issued the order had extremely precise vision and effective command. The direction he commanded was either the place where the guards were most chaotic, or the place where the horses had just rushed, or the place that was about to settle down. When the guards were about to retreat, they stopped from left to right, and with the rain of arrows he commanded, they shot most of the scattered guards to death, and gradually forced the rest of the guards and horses together.
Commander Qiu also saw that something was wrong at this time. Obviously, the other party was a powerful person. He wanted to force the remaining guards together and shoot them to death at once. If a thousand elite guards were wiped out by bandits, he There will be unforeseen disasters!
At this time, he finally regretted—he knew that there were bandits in Tengshan, and that the bandits here were particularly tough and fierce, and they were not small. They were deserters who were separated from Tiansheng on the battlefield in the early years. Relying on his elite 1,000 guards for the passing team that robbed Xiliang's government, he also felt that how could a well-trained and strong soldier from the imperial forest army be no match for a group of stragglers who had degenerated into bandits? I want to give these people some color, and I want to boost the Xiliang army in front of the Tiansheng envoy team. It would be even better if the Tiansheng envoy team can escape in embarrassment after the robbery by the bandits. What's so proud of that famous little boy! I don't want to think that the little boy didn't know what happened, but he could foresee the danger and stand still, forcing himself to suffer this catastrophe!
Thinking of the fortified Prince Regent of the city, and his instructions to himself before leaving, Commander Qiu shivered fiercely, and finally felt that some people and things were really not as simple as he thought. He lived at the foot of the emperor for a long time, and received all the favors because of his good martial arts, but now he really wants to pay for it because of this mere bandit.
