Chapter 16 The Valley Ambush

() A team is marching on the road in a scattered manner. Just from the shape of the team, it can be seen that this is not an elite team, but more like miscellaneous soldiers put together improvised.

Yes, they are the thieves from Tianwangzhai. Under the command of Litianwang, they marched towards Liujia Village.

"Have you found out clearly?" Li Tianwang immediately asked the scout leader next to him.

"Boss, you have asked this question no less than eight times. In the past ten days or so, our scouts have not been eating or working. We have already found out the reality of Liujia Village!" I'm afraid I don't dare to talk to the leader like this.

"As the leaders of a cottage, we must be responsible for our sons and daughters. Besides, there are still half a year before the great cause of the Heavenly Master will begin. We have to be responsible for the attack in this area, and we can't lose all of our family property in the small Liujia Village. .” The leader said solemnly.

"Don't worry, we've been thoroughly investigated. There were originally only 52 villagers in Liujia Village, but over these days, nearly 200 refugees have joined the village one after another.

They also discovered our existence, so they organized a group of armed forces when the county magistrate failed to negotiate.In fact, this group of militiamen did not train for more than ten days before and after. Even if we add the ten days later, it is less than a month. How could they be our opponents?

And the number of people is no more than 50. Even if some people are recruited in succession, the total number cannot exceed 150.The addition of those newcomers will not increase the combat effectiveness much, and maybe it will even lower the combat effectiveness. "The third master said disdainfully.

"Then why, the second leader will fail?" The leader glared at him.

"Because there is a fierce man named Gao Shun in their village. His Liu family village is even the most powerful hunter in the surrounding hundreds of miles. It is said that he can use his ancestral marksmanship and command troops to fight.

In the battle with the Second Leader, the most important reason for the opponent's victory was that Gao Shun shot and killed the Second Leader with a hunting bow, which made the recruits panic.

Generally speaking, the second leader brought too many newcomers.And he didn't expect that a poor village like Liujia Village, which was often patronized by the Huns, would organize people to resist.Maybe he didn't expect that guy Gao Shun's archery skills were so good that he shot him directly in the battle. "The third leader is a little less foolish, but he put the key to the previous war on Gao Shun.

At that time, none of the thieves escaped in that war, which made the history of that battle only known to the militia led by Gao Shun.Under Liu Ming's arrangements, the course of the battle was hidden, and no one knew how the militia won.

Therefore, after some investigations, the bandit's spies could only attribute the key to victory to 'Gao Shun', the commander and fierce general.

"Are you good at commanding troops, are you good at martial arts and good at archery?" The leader frowned, but raised his head quickly, "Such talents should serve in the Taiping Sect!"

It turned out that the leader also had a heart of love for talents.In fact, he also knew that when the Taiping sect swept across the Han world, there might be no shortage of soldiers, but there was absolutely no shortage of excellent generals.

If there is such a general, it should be able to bring a greater chance of winning the uprising.

Since joining the Taiping Sect and participating in the preparations for the rebellion, the best interests of King Li Tian have been closely integrated with the Taiping Sect.If the Taiping Sect overthrew the big man, he would naturally benefit greatly.However, if the Taiping Sect fails, he will also end up in the tragic end of the Yi tribe.

"I'm afraid the other party's vision is too high, and they look down on me and these thieves." The third master sneered.

"It doesn't matter. Loyalty is just because the bargaining chip of betrayal is not enough. A person who possesses martial arts strategy, but can only be a hunter in the countryside, his weakness is too obvious." Li Tianwang is not worried about this problem at all.

The two continued to chat, but they didn't want a scout to report suddenly: "Reporting to the head of the family, the inclined valley is ahead. According to your teaching, this should be the most suitable place to ambush. However, our people did not find any ambush."

"Since there is no ambush, what's the point of reporting? Continue to let the scouts advance, even if the opponent is just a group of militiamen, you can't relax your guard!" Li Tianwang reprimanded with a wave of his hand.

"Here!" The scout responded in panic and left immediately, arranging the order of King Li Tian.

The army of thieves was getting closer and closer to the valley, and the whole army was silently on guard. Everyone was worried that the enemy would suddenly come out ahead or on both sides of the valley.

The team quickly entered one-tenth, and everyone's attention has been fully focused on the front.

However, at this moment, a large number of figures suddenly appeared on the grass behind him.

Immediately without waiting for these thieves to react, a shower of arrows flew away, killing more than 20 thieves precisely within a distance of [-] meters.

"Enemy attack! Damn it, why did they suddenly rush out behind us!" The third master was stunned, he didn't think about why the enemy would come out behind him, and why they waited until they started entering the valley before attacking suddenly.

Why?The facts have said it all!

The thief who was focusing on the front and the left and right sides completely ignored the back.Perhaps in their view, the road behind has already been walked. Since there were no enemies before, there will be no enemies in the future.

That is to say, most of the thieves in Tianwangzhai are newcomers, otherwise, if they are elites, they may not be so easy to be fooled.Even if he was fooled, he would react quickly?

Gao Shun took advantage of this human habit, and considering that the opponents were all recruits, he set up an ambush at the entrance of Xiegu Taniguchi.If you want to talk about why you can hide it, you can only say that Liu Ming made everyone lie on the ground, and the camouflage net made of fine mesh and weeds played a big role?

It can be seen with the naked eye at a distance of 20 meters.The scouts only carried out investigations at a distance of more than 50 meters, and the short distance of 20 meters turned into an existence similar to "darkness under the lamp", and cleverly got past it.If I have to say it, it is thanks to the fact that the other party is a group of recruits!

For this group of recruits, after the first round of shooting by the militia, many of them went into a short-lived state of brain freeze because of the unexpected situation.If you want to describe this state, it's probably like your brain is blank, you know what happened, but your body seems to be petrified, unable to move.

The archers could still move, so the second round of shooting continued, this time killing more than 40 thieves.

The two rounds of shooting killed a total of more than 70 thieves, and more than 500 thieves were directly reduced by one-tenth.

The bow hunting militia did not carry out the third round of shooting, but quickly escaped into the forest on both sides.Thanks to the good work of environmental protection in ancient times, it is surrounded by primitive and dense natural forests. I am afraid that no one wants to chase archers in the forest?

In particular, the opponent's second round of shooting has already demonstrated outstanding precision shooting ability.

"The third leader!" The leader roared loudly.

"The head of the family, this... I..." The third head of the family didn't know how to explain it better.

"Forget it, I'll settle the score with you when I go back!" The leader looked at his bear, and didn't bother to argue with him.

He used to be the captain of the frontier army, so he naturally knew that a group of recruits could not be trusted at all.Not to mention the 20-meter close-range ambush, even he hadn't thought of it at all, let alone the third master who came from a reckless background.

"Your information is correct? The other party's men are about fifty?" King Li Tian asked without a trace of emotion, his tone was cold and there was no warmth at all.

"The most elite are definitely only fifty, and even if there are any left, they are recruits who have been in the militia for less than ten days!" The third leader promised, patted his chest.

"There should be 50 people just now?" The leader continued to ask.

"It is indeed 50 people, and they have all escaped at this moment..." The third master smiled wryly.

The opponent fled after firing two rounds of arrows, but before one's own side had time to counterattack, the opponent disappeared.

"Cross this valley quickly!" The leader waved his hand and ordered.

The team quickly began to move, and the vanguard had already passed through a short valley in less than 10 minutes.

However, at this moment, fifty more soldiers suddenly appeared above the valley, raised stones and logs, and threw them directly at the thieves.

The thief who thought he had successfully passed through the valley was caught in the back when he was caught off guard again.In just one round of smashing, the archers in the bandits' team were completely damaged.Under such circumstances, even if the opponent wants to fight back, they have more than enough energy.

"Get out quickly!" The leader's forehead was full of veins, and he was about to lose his mind in anger.

The team quickly walked out of the valley, and the number was reduced by nearly a hundred people, and more than 50 people were injured at the same time. More than 500 people went out to fight, but before they actually fought the enemy, the militiamen in Liujia Village killed half of them, and their morale plummeted.

"Damn Gao Shun, I'm going to kill you!" King Li Tian naturally knew that all of this was Gao Shun's trick.So there is no love or not, just want to kill him.

"You want to take care of yourself!" A cold voice came.

Immediately, an arrow flew out directly and shot towards King Li Tian.

No one expected that Taniguchi would have a third batch of ambushing enemies, and King Li Tian had lost his sanity a little when he was furious before, and instead lowered his attention to the surroundings.

Under such a premise, Gao Shun quickly stood up and shot an arrow at King Li Tian.

The arrow pierced Litianwang's throat directly, and Litianwang suffered pain and fell off his horse.After twitching for a while, he left this world unwillingly with his eyes open.

"Kill the thief" Gao Shun waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Fifty spearmen jumped out of the surrounding grass again, encircling and killing the thieves.

"It's over..." The third leader was desperate in an instant.
