She Song

Chapter 178 Yannan Bandits
"I am a rough man, and each of them will be given two taels of silver. If they are wiped out, the reward will be doubled! There will also be two thousand sets of swords, guns, bows and arrows as gifts. Also, the wealth they brought is very rich. If you kill them all, they will all belong to you!"

The masked man kicked down the cash box at his feet, and the white money poured out like a waterfall on the ground, shining with an alluring luster.

The bandits in Yannan couldn't help but swallow their saliva. It's rare to see so much real money and silver nowadays, especially if there are soldiers and armors presented as gifts.

Isn’t it just to kill three thousand officers and soldiers?

As long as enough people gather, they can scare the Imperial Army to death. This business can be done!

Someone immediately stood up and said, "Qingfeng Village, 500 people!"

So, you have 1000, I have 1, and there are even more than [-]. If the masked man calculated it, it is almost [-].

At this moment, a Cyclops bandit snorted: "The Flying Tiger Gang wants half of the armor, rewards and seizures. Do you heroes have any objections?"

A person who didn't know much about the Feihu Gang immediately asked dissatisfiedly: "Why? The guest said: One head is worth two taels of silver, you calculate..."

As the largest horse bandit in Yannan, the one-eyed man rushed towards the man with a single lunge, and at the same time drew his saber and swept over him.

puff~
Gu Lu Lu, the head of the thief who just objected had been chopped off before he could finish speaking. After a few breaths, the headless body fell straight down.

The thieves beside him couldn't get out of the way, and were splashed with blood all over their heads and faces, which was very scary.

The one-eyed man licked the blood on the blade clean, inserted it into the scabbard, and said coldly: "Does a bug-like creature deserve to speak in front of me? Is it too much to take half of the [-] riders from the Flying Tiger Gang?"

There are two other powerful copycats who thought about it and decided to give the Feihu Gang some eye drops.

"If you can kill the [-] cavalry of the official army, you Feihu Gang can take half of it, otherwise, it will be calculated on a head-to-head basis!"

The one-eyed dragon laughed loudly: "It's settled! When it comes to riding skills, the Forbidden Army will treat us as ancestors!"

Since the three major forces have reached an agreement on dividing the spoils, the smaller forces can only accept it. They cannot eat the meat, but they must take a bite of the soup.

Therefore, based on the speed of the Zhenguo Army's advance, the three bandits chose Jinji Ridge, twenty miles south of Futuo River, and used the terrain to ambush the Zhenguo Army's vanguard.

The masked man smiled and said, "I wish you success!"

When the thieves left, the masked man took off his hijab, and it turned out to be Zhen Wuchen.

Although Pharmacist Guo didn't want to show off his face, he secretly sent Zhen Wuchen to dispatch 2000 people to cooperate with the Yannan bandits to kill the Zhenguo army.

If the vanguard force is vulnerable, then Han Xiaoyao will be left alone.

If the two sides are fighting hard to separate each other, Zhen Wuchen will look for opportunities to press forward and take revenge.

Of course, if Zhen Guojun is really as mysterious and powerful as the secret letter said, Zhen Wuchen will stand still and withdraw quietly.

Early the next morning, Zhen Wuchen led two thousand soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army and secretly stationed at Jinjiling. He chose a position where he could advance, attack, retreat and defend, ready to join the battle at any time.

At noon, the vanguard of the Zhenguo Army arrived at Jinjiling. Three hundred Qingqi were leading the way.

Li Azhuang, commander of the [-]st Battalion of the Cavalry Brigade and the first veteran member of Hanji Security, took the lead in leading his men into the valley.

The scouts advanced rapidly and regularly reported back the military situation ahead. When the scouts advanced to the middle of the valley, they discovered anomalies.

Li Azhuang knew what was happening. News came from Yanjing's internal guards that 2000 people from the Ever Victorious Army were heading south, which was very likely to be detrimental to the vanguard army, and he reminded them to be more careful.

When Li Azhuang heard the news, he was not only excited but also felt sorry for Chang Shengjun.

You have no idea what kind of existence you have provoked.

The vanguard of the Zhenguo Army is the sharpest blade in the entire army. Even if they face ten times the enemy, they are not afraid.

Therefore, he rushed to the location of the scout and used his binoculars to check the situation on the mountains on both sides.

Haha, there really is an ambush.

However, looking at the unknown ambush group and wearing miscellaneous clothes, they looked more like bandits.

It doesn't matter, the bandits, who number nearly ten thousand, can't get within fifty steps of the vanguard army. They are purely here to kill people!Li Azhuang asked someone to inform Jiang Queer while continuing to move forward according to the predetermined plan.

At the north exit of the valley, five hundred riders from the Flying Tiger Gang blocked Li Azhuang, led by a one-eyed thief.

The one-eyed dragon said with a smile: "I own this mountain. If the military master wants to go there, please leave some tea money for the Feihu Gang!"

At this time, all the vanguard troops had entered the valley, and the thieves had sealed off the southern end of the valley and lit up smoke to notify other thieves.

Therefore, the one-eyed dragon of the Feihu Gang led his men to block the way with confidence.

In his opinion, his side was skilled in arching and horsemanship, and with more people fighting fewer people, the three hundred cavalry in front of him were like fat meat. After they were dealt with, they would directly attack the opponent's infantry. The imperial army would definitely run away due to the urinary nature of the enemy.

But Li Azhuang also laughed, and laughed louder than the other person: "You actually robbed the Zhenguo Army. You really want money rather than your life! Surround them and no one can escape!"

Along the way, the forward Qingqi battalion basically encountered no decent bandits. Their hands were itchy when they saw the five hundred horse bandits. If it weren't for the strict military discipline, they would have been unable to restrain themselves.

The battalion commander gave the order, and the three hundred cavalry quickly unfolded into a half-moon shape, forming a semi-encirclement formation against the Flying Tiger Gang. They all took out their repeating crossbows and held them in their hands.

Li Agong loudly announced the consistent policy of the Suppressing Army: "If you surrender your weapons without killing, those who resist will die, and the Suppressing Army will treat prisoners preferentially!"

The forward battalion repeated it in unison, intending to warn the Feihu Gang.

One-Eyed Dragon himself was quite crazy, but he didn't expect the Zhenguo Army to be even crazier than him, which was tantamount to irritating him.

He silently drew his machete and gave the order to attack.

"Rush up and chop off their heads!"

As a result, five hundred riders showed their swords and guns one after another, and immediately urged their horses to attack Li Azhuang.

One hundred steps, eighty steps...

Li Azhuang raised his right hand and shouted: "Shoot!"

"Boom boom boom..."

A noisy machine sound sounded, and three hundred arrows shot at the Flying Tiger Gang, followed by the second round, the third round...

After three breaths, the crossbow arrows arrived, playing the role of death among the five hundred cavalry. In the first wave, more than 20 people fell off their horses, and then more and more people fell off.

When they were fifty steps away, the Flying Tiger Gang had reduced its strength by more than one-third, and they were holding on with just one breath.

The one-eyed dragon did not expect that the opponent actually used a repeating crossbow, firing six rounds in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the forward battalion put on its quiver and pulled the trigger again. A continuous barrage of crossbow arrows hit the Flying Tiger Gang head and face.

When the Zhenguo Army cavalry raised their repeating crossbows again, a collapse occurred among the Flying Tiger Gang cavalry.

At a distance of forty or fifty steps, the cavalry was a huge target. Under the heavy rain of arrows, the riders in the front row fell like wheat, dead and wounded, and screamed again and again.

Horse bandits have always been in the habit of getting in when there is something good and running away when the situation is bad. They wanted to eat a piece of soft tofu, but it turned out to be a hard bone and a mouthful of teeth fell out!
Therefore, the Feihu gang began to turn their horses and flee to the rear.

Routine battles and pursuit battles are the basic subjects of the cavalry brigade, and the forward battalion is the most elite unit. Therefore, the situation at hand was predicted in advance and passed from both sides early.

In the middle of the valley, tens of thousands of bandits saw the Flying Tiger Gang launching an attack with more enemies and fewer enemies, so they took it for granted that they would win.So, in order to snatch the property, they eagerly swooped down from the hillsides on both sides towards Jiang Queer's tribe.

The vanguard officers and soldiers who had been on guard for a long time were gearing up and methodically transformed into defensive formations according to Jiang Queer's instructions.

The five hundred archers started firing when the thieves were eighty steps away. Facing the enemies coming in like a tide, the archers fired five consecutive waves and achieved astonishing damage.

Of course, the casualties of nearly a thousand people were not enough to deter the thieves, but at a distance of thirty steps, under the protection of the sword and shield hand, the archers in the inner circle still calmly fired one feather arrow after another. At this distance, the arrows were almost Will not fail.

The two hundred Qingqi at the rear also seized the opportunity and jumped in at high speed, like two powerful whirlwinds sweeping past the ranks of thieves, tearing open two bloody paths and preventing the following thieves from following up.

By the time the two armies met, the thieves had lost 3000 people, and the terror of death spread quietly.
