Cui Meng noticed that a large group of cavalry was coming, and immediately judged that it was the bandits of Erlong Mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His heart sank, wondering if the people of Kongjiazhuang were really thieves who fornicated with Erlong Mountain? Isn't this White Tiger Cottage an isolated thief, but a nail planted by Erlong Mountain in the north of Qingzhou, which is connected to Erlong Mountain, so as soon as an accident happened to Kongjiazhuang, it attracted the attention of officers and soldiers and endangered the White Tiger Cottage, and the Erlong Mountain robbers immediately sent cavalry to reinforce urgently?

Although Cui Meng is fierce, he is not a reckless fool. Like Huang Xin, after hearing the contents of the letter from Kochi Prefecture, he didn't believe that the people of Kongjiazhuang had a good life of peace, but the whole village was willing to be a dangerous and dangerous bandit.

That's a joke. Whoever believes is a fool with a bad brain.

There must be unspeakable things that harm the people, and it must be dirty tricks such as the officials forcing the people to oppose the people and have to rebel.

Even if the Kochi Prefecture is not the culprit, it must be an active participant or even a mastermind, and even a vested interest in it. I'm afraid that it is not the people of Kong Jiazhuang who are guilty, but the local government is guilty of monstrous crimes. Only an impulsive and reckless man like Qin Ming blew up as soon as he heard that the villagers colluded with the robbers to rebel, and he was bent on chasing and suppressing it, which was worthy of a thunderbolt that would explode and burn at the slightest ignition.

Cui Meng saw the strangeness and even the flaw, but he wouldn't say it, he had the same concerns as Huang Xin, he couldn't say it, and if he said it, he would only go against the prefect's wishes, making the prefect dissatisfied with him and unlucky. In fact, he doesn't care whether the villagers are wronged or not. It is a matter of civilian governance, and it is the responsibility of the civilian official to sort out the rights and wrongs, and it has nothing to do with him, he is a soldier who is only responsible for fighting the war.

The sudden change with the approach of the cavalry brigade had left Cui Meng with no time to think about the truth behind the villagers' rebellion. It doesn't matter what the truth is.

The top priority is how to break the cottage and exterminate the White Tiger bandits, and not let the sudden killing of the Erlong Mountain cavalry do bad things.

Cui Meng glanced at the horses and the fifty cavalrymen guarding the mountain pass, and saw that none of these people noticed the coming disaster, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Inland soldiers are inland soldiers, and no matter how much they train, they do not have the conditions and knowledge to be at the border passes, and they have no ability to perceive the approaching cavalry enemy, and they do not even have the awareness and vigilance in this regard.

He hurriedly issued an order, urging Zhang Biao and Wang Yong, who were commanding on the mountain, to seize the time to attack the cottage, and strive to quickly break through the White Tiger Mountain Bandits' den, even if they can't destroy the robbers and minions this time, at least they must eliminate the thief leader Wang Xiao's father and son.

He led five cavalry henchmen with more skilled archery skills in the direction of the cavalry to see who it was.

The horses had galloped four or five miles, and by this time the sound of the dense hooves of the cavalry could be clearly heard as they marched along the mountain road.

Cui Meng judged that this cavalry was afraid that there would be thousands of horsemen based on his rich experience, and his heart sank to the bottom.

In order to exterminate the strong men of the three mountains, the imperial court only mobilized a total of 1,000 cavalry to be used in Qingzhou Mansion, this time he brought out 300 cavalry himself, even if Fucheng found out what crisis and transferred men and horses to reinforce, where can he transfer thousands of cavalry?

Those who come must be friend or foe. Even if such a cavalry is not skilled enough in cavalry and archery, it must be the elite of robbers, and it is not something that the mere 300 cavalry and 500 county infantry he led can withstand. What to do?

Cui Meng was anxious in his heart, his mouth was dry as if he was on fire, and he was thinking about countermeasures urgently while running, and he was at a loss for time, and there was a sharp turn in the mountain road in front of him. He stopped to scan the terrain here, and his eyes couldn't help but light up at this look.

At the bend of the mountain road, on the opposite side is a large area of steep and almost grassless mountain cliffs, at least forty or fifty meters high, not people can easily go up and down, the mountain cliffs stretch along the mountain road after the bend is afraid that there are not thousands of meters, and the inner side of the bend is a section of barren mound, about 20 meters high, the soil is knotted, there is no soft mud layer, it has been washed by the rain for many years and the corners are sharp and rugged, there are no trees on it, no thorns, only some tenacious rooted weeds are born sporadically, and the upper part of the mound is more like a low wall like a slab abrupt.

The entire mound just blocks the view from both sides of the winding mountain road. The mound is connected to a long hill, which is simply a natural barrier.

Cui Meng hurriedly dismounted and ran up the mound wall to look at the other side.

Seeing this, he was even more ecstatic, had an idea, and made up his mind.

It turned out that the other side of the mound was even more rocky, and it was a slope that was not easy to climb, so the barren mound was an ideal natural fortress barrier for setting up a blocking point. On the opposite side is the mountain cliff, can not be climbed to break through the bend of the mountain road restrictions, this side is a short period of time can not climb over the completion of the outflanking of the continuous hills, as long as on this mound with a bow and arrow for long-range blocking, can effectively block the bend of the mountain road to block the enemy's pace, then sneak attack to kill the main general of the enemy led the team, I believe that once the rabble such as the bandits die important or even the leader, like a poisonous snake beheaded, it must fall into panic and confusion and have no intention of fighting and retreating, no matter how many soldiers and horses are useless.

Cui Meng thought clearly, and his heart became more and more excited.

With the strength of one person to reach a thousand troops, it is still the cavalry, such heroic feats and glorious deeds have been rare since ancient times, and the opportunity to show his face is too precious. The heaven-sent wonderful moment to become famous and become famous has arrived.

He regretted that he was not manpowered, and there were only five archers and cavalry around him, otherwise there were hundreds of archers who locked the throat here, and they would definitely be able to shoot the incoming cavalry and kill a person on his back, and suffer heavy casualties, which would have severely dampened the arrogance of the thieves and made him famous and fearsome from now on.

As the so-called art masters are bold.

Cui Meng was conceited and confident, and he heard the sound of horses' hooves closer, and the cavalry brigade would soon appear in front of him, and immediately beckoned his five cavalry to come up and ambush them on the top of the earthen wall-like hill and prepare to sneak attack the enemy cavalry generals who were the head.

The cavalry who came was none other than Song Jiang and his party, because the mountain road was rugged and narrow, which was not conducive to fast horses and had to slow down the horses, and at the same time, they also had the opportunity to rest and relieve the horsepower consumed by long-distance arrivals, so as to deal with possible emergencies.

The leader of the team is Song Jiang, on the right is Wan Danian, the poisonous snake arrow responsible for protecting Song Jiang, on the left is Yin Tai, who broke through the sky, and then Song Jiang's little servant Wang Siwang Bodang. The cavalry of the Heavenly King's Guard was in front, closely following the leader Wan Danian. Pig iron Buddha Cui Daocheng and Flying Yaksha Qiu Xiaoyi were behind Song Jiang. Yin Chun, the ghost king of the trap, led the other five hundred cavalry behind. Yang Shi, Liu Wuji, Li Ji, and Otohiro Otomu accompanied the rear army.

Song Jiang was surrounded by the leader at this time, and the feeling of pursuing the upper position was finally enjoyed, and the mood was very comfortable. As for Wan Danian on the other side, Song Jiang did not communicate.

It's not that he doesn't want to try to win over him, but he finds that this ape-like Wan Danian is a stuffy gourd and can't communicate.

At the beginning, Song Jiang was also wary that Wan Danian might wait for an opportunity to harm him, but seeing that Wan Danian was so cold to him, he was even more suspicious, and his heart became more and more vigilant.

But along the way, I saw that Wan Danian cared about him, and he was explained by Yin Tai with a smile, which also confirmed that Wan Danian was a righteous man, that is, he grew up learning art in the deep mountains and lonely mountains with his master, and he was in the company of wild beasts all day long, and he developed a dull temperament, he didn't like to talk, and he had few expressions, and he was not unreasonable and enthusiastic about people. Song Jiang let go of his mind a little and concluded that Wan Danian was Chao Gai's confidant, so he simply stopped 'hooking up'.

On this expedition, Song Jiang had to supervise the dangerous battlefield, but he did not wear iron armor and wore a leather armor.

The iron armor is too heavy, the light one is twenty or thirty pounds, and the heavy armor is fifty or sixty pounds, not the small physique of the black dwarf literati Song Jiang can hold up, and he is also restrained and panicked, and he can move flexibly with much lighter leather armor, otherwise he will not be able to get on the horse.

Moreover, what Erlong Mountain lacks most is the iron armor used by generals. Chao Gai and the others only fought with the officers and soldiers once, but they repelled the encirclement and suppression organized by Qin Ming and Huang Xin, and did not get a few pieces of iron armor. The iron armor that the leaders are wearing now is still worthy of the defeat of the rebels in Snake Horn Ridge and captured by the Zizhou army. Even if the cottage has a surplus of iron armor, it does not have the kind of small iron armor that Song Jiang can wear.

Of course, Song Jiang was not ashamed that as the main general, he could only wear the rudimentary leather armor that only the bandit leaders wore.

He is the commander-in-chief, a leader, and not a fighting man who charges into battle, what do you do in such heavy iron armor?

Wearing leather armor is surrounded and protected by ironclad generals, which can better reflect the noble status. Song Jiang is in this heart.

But his dress made Cui Meng, who was ambushed on the mound, a little confused and puzzled after seeing it, and he couldn't figure out for a while what kind of character this figure was who was really short with the leather armor of the general leader, and was wearing an eyepatch-type masking that covered most of the upper part of his face, and only exposed the black and black below the nose, making it difficult to know his true face, but he was surrounded by Yin Tai, the heavy general of the Erlong Mountain (Cui Meng had never seen the leader of Erlong Mountain, including Yin Tai, but he had heard of the strange and ugly appearance of the Yin family, so he could infer it after seeing it).

As the cavalry of Erlong Mountain approached as quickly as a long dragon in the mountain road, Cui Meng didn't have time to ponder the details of Song Jiang, and intuitively judged that this black dwarf must be the core figure of this group of strongmen, and killing this person would definitely cause a sensation among the thieves and even collapse directly.

Seeing Song Jiang enter the range of his strong bow, he immediately quietly raised his bow to aim, showing his best shot and shooting decisively.

Wan Danian didn't talk to Song Jiang all the way and didn't listen to those nonsense, since entering this rugged and easiest mountain road to set up ambushes, he suddenly seemed to have returned to the deep mountains where he learned art back then, feeling friendly and comfortable, and it also aroused the beast-like sharpness and alertness he was used to at that time.

He raised his vigilance, constantly scanning and listening to the movements of the mountains and fields all the way, paying attention to the surrounding environment, in order to prevent the sneak attack of cold arrows, the long shield like a surfboard specially prepared was firmly held in his hand, ready to meet the challenge anytime and anywhere, when he saw a sharp turn a hundred and ten meters away in front of him, one side was a barren mound that was as difficult to climb as a wall and the other side was a cliff, he felt that this was really a good place to ambush and block, and he was paying special attention to hearing a soft sound, others may not think about it, and even in the noise such as the sound of birds singing in the mountains and the wind blowing the woods, he couldn't hear it at all, but he knew that it was the sound of the bowstring and it was coming from the front, and he caught a glimpse of the two arrows, and the horizontal shield in his hand blocked Song Jiang and him in front of him.

This is really a desperate shot, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as hanging by a thread.

Cui Meng's double arrows were powerful and accurate, coming from a hundred meters away like lightning, and they were tied to the long shield side by side, and the three-edged arrows broke through the shield for half a foot before they were stuck. It can be seen that the bow is strong. If it weren't for Wan Danian's constant attention and quick response, this blow would definitely hit the two hard.

Song Jiang was showing off his eloquence and demeanor and Yin Tai walked side by side with kindness and happiness, and suddenly his front was dark, and then a sharp arrow appeared in front of him, and the silver-white sharp arrow was less than a fist away from his eyes, Song Jiang was so frightened that he forgot to scream for a while.

In this way, it does not show its ugliness, and it will not attract the ridicule of the people of Erlongshan, but it makes people praise Song Jiang Don't look at him as a literati, but he is bold, he went into battle for the first time, and he almost died when he was attacked by a sharp arrow, but he was not shocked at all, and he was a true hero, worthy of being a close friend of King Chao.

Song Jiang stared at the arrow in front of him in a daze, and suddenly saw the sharp arrow move away, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a big hand stuffing the shield to him, Song Jiang completely instinctively and obediently took the other hand on the shield, and held the shield in front of him and did not dare to move.

Here, Wan Danian had already taken out the bow in front of the horse with his other hand, and the free hand holding the shield immediately drew out three arrows and wound the bow.

Over there, Cui Meng was shocked to see that the second arrow with a hundred shots was actually blocked in time by the man with a deformed arm next to the black dwarf, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He has full confidence in his archery skills and bow power, and he is more absolutely sure of this kind of sneak attack, believing that even the gods will not escape death if he is caught off guard, but damn it, he never thought that someone would really be able to crack this fatal blow.

This situation has never been encountered in the nearly ten years that Cui Meng has been a soldier guarding the border pass, and with the completion of archery, in the noisy mountains and fields, even the so-called Condor Assassin of the Liao army has to die under his arrows, let alone other Liao troops.

But Cui Meng has been in battle for a long time, not Song Jiang, and he just stayed for a while and immediately returned to normal, not discouraged, even more unconvinced, he lowered his head in a flash, and then drew two arrows in an instant and pulled the bow away, and the micro probe was about to shoot again, but he saw three thin shadows flashing in the sun with a little silver light like electricity, too familiar, knowing that it was the enemy's counterattack arrow, he hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, and heard the sound of sharp weapons scraping iron from the iron helmet above his head, an arrow flew by grazing the helmet, and the high-speed friction between iron and iron flashed a spark, Cui Meng's neck was raised, and the helmet was almost taken off.

At the same time that Cui Meng was shocked into a cold sweat, the two cavalrymen around him fell down with arrows stuck in their foreheads, and they did not move after a slight twitch.

This time, Cui Meng was even more shocked.

Three arrows in one shot?

Or shoot from 100 meters away and still be powerful and accurate?

That's more powerful than his two shots. No wonder he can accurately detect a sneak attack in the noise of the mountains and fields and raise a shield in time to defend, it turns out that the strange man with a special size is indeed a marksman himself, and it seems that his archery skills still crush him. It's a fierce rival. (To be continued.) )
