Although he was fleeing into the mountains, Fubao was not at all vague.
She even brought the old turtles and giant clams from her backyard, as well as the little golden carp.
This means that Mr. Xu has arranged enough people. Otherwise, it is really not something ordinary people can do if they want to carry old turtles and giant clams on their backs.
When going over mountains and ridges, you have to carry old turtles and giant clams on your back. This is really a strenuous task.
…
When the sun goes down, Lingshui Village is very quiet.
There was no sound of chickens or dogs, and there were no lights at all in the village.
Uncle Lu was sitting on a big tree at the head of the village, looking boredly at the mountain road into the village.
While waiting for it to get dark, Uncle Lu directed the in-laws of the old Xu family to go into the mountains. As for now, they must have caught up with them. After all, they all just brought a bag with clothes and bedding.
Food and other things are not missing at this time.
In addition to those uninvited evil guests that Uncle Lu was waiting for, there was also a group of suppressing troops arranged by Mr. Xu in the woods. In addition to them, Mr. Zhao Er also brought people over.
This is a hunt!
"Master, why don't we just go to the dock and kill those people?"
Zhao Rui stayed with Zhao Bingzhen and became a little impatient.
Mr. Zhao Er raised his hand and slapped Zhao Rui on the head, scolding: "Quiet!"
"How many times have I told you, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
"Do you know how many people came?"
"Do you know who the other party is? What preparations are you making?"
"On the battlefield, if you want to win, you must know yourself and your enemy, and make full use of any advantages you have!"
"Isn't it nice to wait for work in leisure and make a sneak attack?"
Master Zhao Er looked at his unconvinced young apprentice and wanted to beat him again. Unfortunately, now is not the time to hit the apprentice. After all, they are in an ambush now.
Time passed slowly, half of the bright moon hung high in the sky, and its bright moonlight fell on the earth. Although the night was not as bright as day, it was still very bright.
"Gu, Gu—"
I don’t know what time it is now, but a cuckoo’s cry suddenly came from the forest.
At the moment when the cuckoo's call sounded, everyone lurking in the forest trembled.
This sound was obviously not caused by an ambush party.
In other words, people are here!
Not long after, a mass of black heads appeared on the mountain road leading to Lingshui Village. These people were fully armed, with helmets and armor, long knives hanging from their waists, and multiple crossbows in their hands. All the equipment was clearly the standard of the Tang Dynasty's army. configuration.
If such a group of people entered Lingshui Village without getting the news in advance, even Uncle Lu and his daughter would have no choice but to feel resentful on the spot.
No matter how good your martial arts skills are, if you face the regular army's continuous crossbow fire, you will only end up being shot into a hedgehog.
"Except for Wu Chenghou's family, everyone else will be killed without mercy!"
This group of people approached Lingshui Village, and the leader gave the order to kill them without emotion.
Following his instructions, these people quickly increased their speed and divided their forces to surround Lingshui Village.
And at this moment, a torch was lit at the entrance of the village.
The next moment, the arrow shot through the air.
The people lurking in the forest drew their bows when they saw the torches light up.
The crossbow bolts of the repeating crossbow can be fired instantly and in series, but the range is slightly inferior to that of the bow and arrow.
At this moment, Zhao Bingzhen and his party took advantage of the range of their bows and arrows. Hundreds of people fired arrows in volley, and they were all aimed and struck accurately.
With just one round of arrows, less than half of this group who wanted to massacre Lingshui Village were killed.
"The enemy is attacking and there is an ambush!"
"Come into the village!"
Although the leader of this group was killed in the first round of arrow shooting, his deputy took over the command immediately and made the wisest response.
The Liannu was obviously at a disadvantage facing the archers hiding in the woods.
Then, the best way is to enter the village and use the cover of the village houses to force the enemies in the woods to come out. At that time, they will turn from light to dark, and the ambushers in the dark will turn from dark to light, and the offensive and defensive momentum will be Changes followed.
However, this shrewd deputy did not know that Lingshui Village was already an empty village at this moment.
When they entered the village, although they temporarily escaped the arrows, they were hit directly and trapped themselves to death.
"Fire attack!"
Zhao Bingzhen watched these people rush into the village, and his smile became even brighter.
All of this is hunting.
When hunting, you cannot seal all the gaps, otherwise the beasts will fight tooth and nail. Therefore, the best way is to leave a gap, so that you can take the initiative and reap the fruits of victory little by little.
Zhao Bingzhen didn't know the origins of this group of people, but he knew that no matter where these people came from, they had not really experienced battle killings.
Therefore, he deliberately created a flawed trap to make the other party think they were smart and chose the path to the village.
This is a very reasonable response at first glance, but how could such a good thing be possible in this world
A general who has truly experienced fighting in battle will quickly discover the viciousness of this trap and stop the loss as soon as possible.
But it was obvious that Zhao Bingzhen's opponent did not have the sense of life and death that he had developed through fighting in the war.
The arrows were wrapped in cotton cloth stained with kerosene, turned into rockets, and shot towards the houses and firewood piles in the village.
The fire quickly ignited and spread quickly under the slightly chilly east wind.
The men who escaped into the village finally realized that they were in desperate situation.
Then, the deputy again self-righteously chose to go east, to the peach blossoms, and to cross the river.
Their raid failed this time.
However, this worship is not a fault of war.
They were obviously ambushed!
In other words, there was a traitor among them, who informed certain people of their arrival. If they can't find out who the traitor is, they will never win.
"Quick, quick, go east and swim across the river!"
Under the command of the deputy, this group of people quickly rushed to the Peach Blossom River in the east. In order to speed up, they discarded unnecessary equipment.
Repeating crossbows are no longer needed. After all, the opponent uses bows and arrows.
Long knife
Throw it away, this thing is worse than a repeating crossbow.
As for the armor
lost!
It can't stop the arrows, and it will only slow down their escape speed, no, their evacuation speed!
By the time this group of people fled to the Peach Blossom River, they had already discarded their armor and were wearing silk and satin linings. What's more, they even dropped their satin linings on the ground, just to quickly swim to the other side of the river.
cold
Compared to losing one's life, what does being cold mean
"Master, are these people fools?"
Zhao Rui, who was following Zhao Bingzhen, looked at the current appearance of the group of people from a distance and felt that his brain was a little weak.
When these people first appeared at the entrance of the village, their faces were fierce, as if they were a team of murderers.
But now, how can these people still have any fierceness? (End of chapter)
