It is the autumn equinox, and the dead leaves are scattered around the trees, adding a bit of gloom to the whole world.

On the official road from Linglang County to Shangjing, there is a thousand-person team transporting a batch of grain and grass.

This batch of grain and grass is the last batch of grain and grass collected in Linglang County after the autumn, and the grain and grass transfer in the capital is in a hurry for this batch of grain and grass, and in order to hurry up and send it to Shangjing, there are not many troops to escort this batch of grain and grass. Besides, in the hinterland of the empire, how much more risk can be encountered?

In the col not far from this grain and grass team, there are more than 3,000 bandits hidden, and this group of more than 3,000 bandits is the Huotou Mountain bandit led by Wu Mang.

Today, Wu Mang's spies saw a large group of men and horses carrying things on the official road at the foot of Huotou Mountain, and as soon as they heard the news, Wu Mang prepared to take down the fat sheep so that the brothers could be comfortable for a few days.

A group of people waited in the col, waiting for the spies to inquire about the good news before taking action.

Wu Mang was sitting on a big rock drinking, when he suddenly heard a sound of chatter from a distance, and it seemed that the spies had returned.

The person who came hurriedly ran over, didn't have time to drink saliva, ran to Wu Mang, and said to Wu Mang: "The big one, the small one let the brothers observe in many ways, and learned that it was not a caravan, but an army transporting grain and grass for the imperial court, and there were as many as 1,000 people, the army formation was tight, the lineup was tight, and the marching speed was very fast. ”

Wu Mang listened to the report, his brows furrowed, this is a hard bone, he thought about it and asked, "How many things do they transport?"

The captain said excitedly: "The little one saw it with his own eyes, there were fifty-two cars, and they lined up for half a mile, if they intercepted this batch of goods, they could let the brothers spend this winter happily." ”

After listening to his words, Wu Mang moved a little cautiously, if he could take down the fifty-two carts of things, it would not be anything, but when he thought that the other party was an officer and soldier, and it didn't seem to be weak, he had no bottom in his heart, and this time he came out, he would bring 3,000 people, if he could fight it, it would be fine, if he couldn't beat it, then his old bottom would be over, and he would not be able to explain to the brothers when he went back.

Just when Wu Mang was struggling to make a decision, the spy spoke again.

"Are the big bosses worried that they won't be able to eat them? The big bosses don't need to worry at all, the small ones have already probed carefully just now, although this group of people is difficult to deal with, but they are just simple infantry, and everyone is dressed lightly, and the small ones have a plan. ”

After saying this, the spy approached Wu Mang and whispered: "The little one has already understood the terrain of this five miles radius before, there is a canyon road three miles away from us, and from this road to the capital, you can save half a day's time, and the small one sees that they are marching in a hurry, and they must take that road, as long as we ambush them in that place first, wait for them to enter the canyon, block the exit, and then let the archers release their arrows, then we can take it in one fell swoop." ”

Wu Mang looked at this spy, this person was personally trained and trained by Han Dang when he was there, when Han Dang trained secretly for half a year, Wu Mang didn't particularly understand it at the time, but now he finally understands the importance of this monkey spirit monkey spirit spy, if this person doesn't understand the other party's situation so clearly, understands the surrounding terrain so thoroughly, and gives himself advice, then he may give up this great opportunity.

Thinking of this, he patted the spy on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you kid, you're quite clever, if you succeed this time, I'll reward you well, and when the time comes, you can choose what you want." ”

After listening to Wu Mang's words, the spy immediately thanked: "Thank you for the great master, the mighty of the big master." “

"Hahaha, let's go, let's go to the ambush first. ”

An hour later

A group of officers and soldiers walking on the official road really appeared on the canyon road as expected by the spies, and the adjutant general who rode in front looked at the terrain of the canyon road and asked the general next to him worriedly.

"General, look at this terrain, I always think that there will be some ambush, will it be too dangerous for us to go here, do you want to send someone to the front to take a look?"

The general next to him was a young man, looking at the deputy general, and said with a look of disdain: "I see that you are getting older, but your courage has become smaller, we are a regular army, and we are still going to the capital, you said that there will be any bandits who are not long-eyed who dare to intercept us, those bandits, they are scared when they see our military formation, and——"

Before he finished speaking, a cloud-piercing arrow was ...... Uh, no, a cloud-piercing arrow shot out from both sides, making a sharp chirp, and before the lieutenant could react, an overwhelming rain of arrows poured down from both sides of the valley.

Suddenly, there were bursts of screams at the bottom of the canyon, one after another, and the sound was in the ears.

The general swept away the arrows that had been shot at him with his sword, rolled off his horse, hid between the two horses, and shouted to the crowd.

"Array. ”

With the command of the commander, all the soldiers immediately moved and gathered together, building a shield wall to block the rain of arrows that came from rushing in.

As soon as the shield wall was built, except for the casualties of the first wave of arrow rain, the casualties in the back became smaller and smaller, and it didn't take long for the archery shooting above the canyon to stop.

Before the soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, at the entrance and exit of the canyon, a large number of bandits appeared, they waved sharp weapons in their hands, rode on horses, and rushed towards everyone with a roar, and the soldiers in front of them were stuck in place, and before they could run, they were thrown to the ground by a knife, and blood gushed out.

When the thieves slashed into the depths of the canyon, they saw a well-organized army, stretching out spears from the shield wall, forming a forest of guns.

The bandits on the horse looked at these sharp spears that flashed with cold light, and were a little frightened, so they turned their horses' heads and let the bandits on foot behind charge.

Seeing the cartloads of grain, grass, and military salaries around them, all of them seemed to be crazy, and rushed to the military formation without fear of death.

Under the command of the young general, the soldiers held off wave after wave of onslaught.

Helplessly, the bandits were strong, and at first everyone was able to block several waves of bandits' attacks, and when both sides of the canyon were surrounded by bandits, this group of soldiers began to stagger and struggle under the attack of the bandits.

At this moment, a big man rushed out of the group of bandits, armed with a double-edged machete, riding on a fiery horse, and slaughtered towards the army formation.

This person is Wu Mang, he watched this group of people from the side for a long time, he was angry, holding a big knife, riding a horse, and rushed up directly.

As soon as Wu Mang rushed up, the machete opened and closed, directly cutting out several people in front of the formation.

Seeing that the form was not good, the general immediately rushed forward with his gun and fought with Wu Mang.

The two couldn't fight, and Wu Mang knocked the general out. Before he could get up, he slashed out with the double-edged machete in his hand, cutting the general in two.

The soldiers on both sides wanted to take advantage of Wu Mang's lack of weapons to slash him to death, but unexpectedly, the handle of the machete was tied by Wu Mang with an iron chain, and as soon as he pulled it, the machete on the ground was retracted back, directly shocking the soldiers on both sides, and the military formation was thus opened a big mouth.

With this gap, the thieves rushed forward in one go. Although this group of soldiers struggled and everyone fought bravely, they were outnumbered and lost their commanders, and it didn't take long for them to be slaughtered by the bandits.

Wu Mang was covered in blood, standing on top of the pile of dead people, with a sinister face.

He asked Liu Er next to him, "How are the brothers killed or wounded?"

Liu Er was about to answer, when a small soldier ran up from behind, knelt in front of Wu Mang panting, and said, "Report, big boss, the brothers are cutting 'wheat'." Unexpectedly, there was a man in armor who broke up, wounded four or five brothers, and ran away on horseback. Brother Sun has already led people to chase him. “

Wu Mang waved his hand, "It's okay, you tell the brothers below to pay attention to it, don't this kind of thing happen again." “

Liu second-hand carried a knife, walked up to Wu Mang, and said: "Big boss, this time we have made a lot of money, I just calculated, fifty-two cars, cars and cars are hard goods." “

Wu Mang smiled: "Haha, okay, tell the little ones to pack up their things, finish cutting the 'wheat', don't leave a living mouth, let's go back to the mountain." “

"Yes. “

In this way, a group of people dragged several large truckloads of looted military rations and hummed a little song towards the mountains.
