Duan Jingzhu's sneak attack on a good place is not as ideal as it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The ideal thing here is that there are no villages for at least seven or eight miles along the official road, which is conducive to hiding and fighting. Because this is a wooded wilderness and hilly area, the height is low, the slope is gentle, but the area is intermittent and indeed large, and you can't see the edge as far as you can see.

Originally, there were many big trees growing on the hills, and the thick ones were cut down indiscriminately by the surrounding villages to build houses and cut firewood, but now in the places where Zhao Yue and his party could see, only low stumps remained, and they were silent among the sparse trees and dense thorns below the thickness of the calf.

The ambush place of Zhao Yue and his entourage is on the east side of the official road.

This hillside can hide its body from being seen by horseback riding on the official road, more than 30 meters from the road, within the distance of the crossbow shooting.

On the west side of the official road is a ravine made up of frozen rivers and wilderness.

The ditch extends several hundred meters to the west, connecting to the hilly woods to the west. The ditch on the side of the road base is frozen on the water surface and buried by the snow, and according to the height of the ice next to it, it is estimated that the height difference between the road and the ditch is at least two or three meters in many places.

This ditch river is the most satisfying place for Zhao Yue.

With it, it effectively prevented the cavalry from escaping from the west or reporting to nearby Khitan villages and towns for help.

If the Liao army is defeated, it can only flee forward or backward along the official road. This is greatly conducive to the interception of Zhao Yue and his party, who have too few people. With the rampant conceited personality of the elite iron cavalry of the Liaoyan Palace, and the fact that this escort mission is too important to fail, it will definitely be the first choice to attack the eastern slope.

Lying on the snow, I saw that the convoy of the Anqing Palace, the Great Song Dynasty, under the escort of about 20 bodyguards guarding Chief Zhao and more than 200 Yan Wang Iron Cavalry, stretched for 400 meters from north to south on the official road that was not narrow, and even Zhao Yue couldn't help but get nervous.

There were so few people, including him, that there were only ten people. Eight hand crossbows.

This time he went north, as always, he didn't bring a crossbow, only a few dozen flying cones that were about the same as nails.

The three-star dart is used to deal with the characters in the rivers and lakes and green forests who do not wear armor, and the power of piercing the iron armor to kill people is poor. In order to prepare for an attack by the Liao Iron Armor Army, in order to improve the long-range attack power and group killing power, Zhao Yue switched to a cone-shaped hidden weapon that was more convenient to carry and conceal.

This kind of hidden weapon. Zhao Yue can shoot at once with one hand, and can accurately kill and damage the enemy with up to five scattered shots.

Wan Qi didn't bring a crossbow either.

He was not familiar with this weapon made by Cangzhao, and preferred to use the bow and arrow that he was best at, and the attack range was much farther than that of a hand crossbow. But he brought only two dozen arrows and hid them in a leather roll.

There are few crossbows. There are not many crossbow arrows either.

Wang Nianjing and Duan Jingzhu each only brought two boxes of a total of twenty crossbow arrows.

Neither side thought of fighting on the road.

With a crossbow, equipped with this bit of crossbow arrows, just in case, it is useful when breaking through the encirclement and throwing off the enemy.

In order to cover the entire convoy with the crossbow, this man could only ambush one person every thirty or forty meters on the hillside.

Wan Qi Danian is ranked in the northernmost place.

Zhao Yue wants to take advantage of Wan Qi Danian's excellent archery skills. Strive to shoot the two leading Liao army leading generals at the first time, especially the Liao general named Mo Li, who is as thick as a polar bear, so that the front of the Liao army will lose its command, and there will be two less powerful opponents on his side. Also shoot the drivers of the first few carriages, so that these carriages stop and block the passage behind. Prevent them from breaking through and escaping.

Zhao Yue himself ranked second in the north.

The task he set for himself was to kill the Liao general who Wan Qi Danian missed and did not shoot, snatch the horn that the main general Mo Li hung on his horse, prevent him from blowing the trumpet command and warning for help from afar, and was responsible for stopping the first carriage to block the way. Intercept and kill hundreds of enemies on the west side of the wagon along the road from north to south.

This task is undoubtedly daunting and extremely dangerous.

But it can't be helped.

There are too few people. He was the only one who dared to try to kill hundreds of enemies single-handedly, striving to achieve his goal.

Wu Neng and Xu Jin, who were fast with their swords and good hands, lined up in the south of Zhao Yue in turn.

The two of them were responsible for attacking the enemy in front with their crossbows. If necessary, support Zhao Yue to block the carriage and break through and escape.

Duan Jingzhu and the other five people lined up in the middle.

The king recites the Sutra in the southernmost place.

He has been by Zhao Yue's side for a long time, he has practiced martial arts hard over the years, and he also has the potential to practice martial arts, and his ability has improved a lot, and he is a good hand second only to Zhao Yue in martial arts, and he is smart and cunning. With sharp eyesight, he is responsible for killing the second general of Oshio, rushing down to block the enemy's retreat if necessary, and can also cooperate with Wu Neng Xu Jin to support Duan Jingzhu and his gang when the enemy rushes up.

Zhao Yue knew that Duan Jingzhu was fierce and fierce by nature. The physique is also strong and vigorous, the knife and archery skills have been practiced hard over the years, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, but I really don't know what the ability of the four generals of Qian Tank, Niu Jinbao, Jin Laishun, and Ma Decai is. It is necessary to think about security for four.

The convoy is getting closer and closer. Zhao Yue's nerves also became tighter and tighter.

The elite iron riders of Yanwangfu must not be vegetarians. You see, they all immediately have strong bows and quivers, and they must be good at shooting, and many of them have scimitars at their waists, and they are immediately carrying heavy weapons such as maces, which shows that they are fierce and brave.

This batch of divine arm crossbows is too great a threat to the Cangzhao Northern Army, and it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Liao army.

It's just that with such a small number of people forcibly sneaking attack, if you want to achieve your goal, this must be a thrilling battle with your life.

Zhao Yue hesitated for a moment.

He didn't want to see Wang Nianjing and Duan Jingzhu die here, and wanted to give up this sneak attack. But although every subordinate he saw looked nervous and excited, none of them looked back at him timidly, and he swallowed back the words that had hesitated to his lips.

Since they all dare to fight and are willing to sacrifice, let's fight to the death and gamble on fate. See whether God is good or evil, and which side he is on.

Zhao Yue lowered his heart, stared at the convoy with both hands, and his eyes became cold and calm.

This place is less than 100 miles away from Yanjing City, and the Liao army can arrive in half a day.

Since the pirate army plundered the Yandi Han people and the Khitans in large numbers, vacating a piece of no-man's land. In order to strengthen the security of the Yanjing region and prevent the Liao Han people from colluding with pirates to cause rebellion, Yeluchun, the king of Yan, simply moved the Han people near Yanjing to fill the blank area and continue farming, and poured out the villages and towns for the Khitan people who moved south to live.

Today, there are no other Han people in the Yanjing area, except for the Han bureaucratic families of the Liao State and the Han slaves and slaves. The villages and towns around here are all Khitans who can ride and fight with swords on horseback.

Because of these objective conditions, Mo Li, the first general of the Yan Wangfu, and his subordinates were not afraid of a large group of daring horse thieves to loot the convoy. They never dreamed that someone would dare to fight this batch of goods with only ten or eight people. Here they were ambushed and attacked.

They were leisurely marching with the horses when suddenly there was a slight sound of a blink.

Eight crossbows opened fire in unison. The crossbow arrows were shot from the hills on the east side, the strength was strong, and the attack distance was not far, and in the whoosh sound, the eight Liao soldiers were defenseless. Even with a thick leather coat and a hard iron armor, he was hit by an arrow in almost no particular order.

Because more than 200 enemy horsemen followed only a dozen carriages and opened up the distance between them, Zhao Yue's hands were flying, and he could only shoot four flying cones to kill the four enemies.

Wan Qi Danian made a strong bow, can not be like a crossbow in advance to wind the bow for a long time to maintain a shooting posture, there are too many enemies, you must maintain the physical strength to continue to attack for a long time, and there is a clear squeak when pulling the bow. It will make the Liao army who are proficient in this way aware of it and be alerted, and damage the sneak attack effect, so it can only draw the bow when the crossbow arrow is fired. His attack was a little later than the others.

He has the speed of a beast's reflexes, and firing his bow and arrows while lying down is his strength. As soon as the crossbow bolt rang out, he immediately completed the task of drawing the bow and shooting.

His primary target of attack is Mo Li Yokono, who is worthy of being the first general of the Yan Wangfu, with clear ears and eyes, rich combat experience, and even if he is negligent, he can respond quickly. Hearing the sound of the sneak attack, he instinctively leaned towards the west side of the horse's back, and in such a short period of time at such a close attack distance and a fraction of a second, he actually avoided the arrow in the heart of Wan Qi Danian.

But it hasn't been completely avoided.

The sharp arrow pierced through the luxurious mink coat and the fine and strong iron armor that Mo Li Yokono had draped. Inserted into his right shoulder blade.

This guy was very fierce and brave, and he only grinned in pain, but he had already picked up the riding shield hanging on his horse in his hand to protect the right rear side. The heavy mace that was on the horse in his left hand had been raised with one hand, and at the same time he had turned his horse's head with his legs and charged at the eastern hillside, not caring that the arrow on his shoulder blade caused him an unbearable pain at the slightest movement.

When Wan Qi Danian saw this scene, he couldn't help but admire the ferocity and powerful combat skills of this general.

Even though the arrow just now was a poisoned arrow that had just been infected with venom during the ambush. As long as Mo Li Hengye is hit by this arrow, he will not be able to be treated in time in this wild place, and he will definitely die, but it is not the strange poison that kills when he sees blood and seals his throat. Wan Qi Danian saw Mo Li Hengye riding a high-headed horse rushing like a fierce god, this not steep hill even if it was covered with ice and snow and slippery, it might not be able to stop the divine horse from rushing up. In an instant, he shot another arrow, increasing the injury of this fierce enemy general and helping him to die of poison early.

The mounted shield is not a human-tall giant shield used by infantry, it is small and lightweight, which is convenient for flexibly blocking the rain of arrows when charging the horse, and mainly protects the chest, abdomen or head.

Mo Li Hengye lowered his head, barely able to protect his upper body with a riding shield, but he couldn't protect his legs, he was blocked by a shield, his eyeliner was unknown, and he couldn't avoid blocking the arrow at such a short distance, so he could only judge by experience and was attacked by the archer, and as soon as he adjusted his defense, he felt that his right thigh was shot.

The arrow went deep into the bone and almost pierced the thigh, and it hurt terribly. The scapula is numb at the moment, and the pain is no longer felt.

Poison arrows?!

Mo Li Hengye was furious, and the crazy heart of the fierce field couldn't help but sink, but he shouted: "Han Chang, quickly lead the convoy away." ”

Ignoring the roar, he continued to ride his horse and rush down the hillside.

He judged that there were not many sneak attackers, and he was determined to rush up to kill the sneak attackers even if he died, obstruct and destroy the sneak attack, so that the convoy could leave the ambush site smoothly, complete the important task of escorting, and live up to the love and trust of King Yan for him over the years.

Wan Qi Danian no longer cared about Mo Li's cross-field rush, and according to Zhao Yue's task, he shot the coachman of the first carriage to death with an arrow in an instant. It was impossible to shoot the young Liao general on the west side of the convoy, Mo Li Yokono, who was called Han Chang.

The wheels of this kind of truck are wide and strong, and it can be easy to drive in the mud, and it is not easy to be trapped, and it is not easy to be blocked by uneven roads.

And the young general Han Chang hid behind the carriage at the beginning of the sneak attack, and I don't know if he was vigilant, seeing the terrain in this area, in order to prevent someone on the eastern slope from sneaking up with a bow and arrow, he has been hiding in the carriage, or in order to show respect for the main general, he took the initiative to pull the back horse position, not on a par with the main general. In short, he was lucky to escape the poisoned arrow assassination at the beginning.

Even if Wan Qi is condescending on the hillside, he can only see the two pheasant feathers on the general's hat swinging in the wind. He immediately moved his target to a few coachmen behind him, and with great skill, he took four arrows from his quiver in one hand, and shot them one after another in quick succession.

The four panicked drivers were all hit by arrows in the head and fell to the wheels.

Wan Qi Danian basically completed the scheduled task, ignored the panicked Song bodyguards who guarded Steward Zhao, and aimed at the Liao Iron Armor Army to shoot rapidly.

He didn't know how to use military weapons, but he also understood that these soldiers with a hard protective shell were the most difficult enemies to deal with, and they could shoot one by one early.

Zhao Yue's flying cone target also ignored the Song bodyguards, his hands flew, and a pair of flying cones shot out, specifically shooting the Liao army.

With his strong ability, the flying cone sent out was like a bullet, and the Liao army within fifty or sixty meters could not escape casualties.

Storytelling, it's troublesome to tell. These things actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Yue caught a glimpse of Mo Li Hengye already holding a shield and raising a mace, roaring angrily, riding his horse and rushing wildly to most of the hillside, how could he let this fierce and ferocious threaten the safety of Wan Qi Danian and destroy the sneak attack layout.

He jumped up and jumped over from the hillside to meet Mo Li Yokono.

Mo Li Hengye caught a glimpse of someone on the mountain actually hitting him with his bare hands and volleying him under the shield cover, he couldn't help but laugh and shout for death, and slammed his mace viciously at Zhao Yue, but he was shocked to see a silver light suddenly shooting out from the hand of this person in mid-air.

A flying cone burrowed into Mo Li's eyes from the palm-wide gap between the shield and his face, penetrating deep into his brain.

No matter how fierce and brave Yokono is, no matter how strong his skills are, there is no place for him.

The poor No. 1 general of the Yan Wangfu planted his horse and died, killing him, with a murderous smile on his face, proving that he died too quickly and unexpectedly, and he didn't even have time to change his emotions.

Solving the most threatening Mo Li Hengye, Zhao Yue stepped firmly on the back of Mo Li Hengye's BMW, squatted down, attacked continuously in his hands, and the flying cone was like electricity, shooting to death the few Song bodyguards who were busy using hidden weapons against him.

Steward Zhao is the confidant of King Anqing, leading the team to escort this batch of prohibited expensive goods with a huge transaction amount, of course, the guards from the Song capital Tokyo to the north are not only twenty people in front of them, there are hundreds of martial arts experts alone, but after entering the Liao realm, there are Yan Wang Iron Cavalry to escort him, and he is in the territory of the Liao State, and he no longer needs a large number of his own people to follow, so he only brought these masters as bodyguards.

The bodyguards are not soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, they are all Jianghu rangers and so-called green forest heroes adopted by Anqing Palace, and their martial arts are good, and they are responsible for protecting Steward Zhao on this trip, and they are naturally guarding near the first carriage that Steward Zhao is sitting on, which is the closest to Zhao Yue at this time.

They saw that the Liao army was attacked by a strong bow and a crossbow, and they were killed and injured in a few blink of an eye, they were shocked and nervous in their hearts, and they were worried that they could not find the target enemy to show their skills to attack, and finally saw Zhao Yue appear alone and have a target.

Although they were afraid of Zhao Yue's secret weapon in their hearts, they knew that there was no way out, and they had to be brave in the moment of life and death, and only by fighting to the death could they have a chance to live, so the five or six surviving horses urged their horses to wave their blades and kill Zhao Yue. (To be continued.) )

PS: I've been too busy and tired lately, and I didn't pay attention to the appreciation, but today I noticed that the general of the shrimp sea rewarded the monthly pass, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks. I also thank Brother Ease for his encouragement in the book review. I wish you all the best in the Year of the Monkey
