On the way to retreat, he climbed a high slope and looked back at the main force of the thousands of Pingnan Army that was being killed, his eyes were full of panic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He felt that the ambush of the 3,000 men and horses was very hidden, and the Pingnan army should not know where they were hiding, but when he thought that among the 300 men and horses sent out, nearly 100 people were captured, he was relieved, and he felt that it must be those guys who were captured, in order to save their lives, told the Pingnan army the hiding place of the 3,000 men and horses, so there was a scene where the main force of the Pingnan army poured out of the nest and killed them.

"Ghost master, the Pingnan army is marching extremely fast, the team is neat, let's withdraw quickly!"

Fu Wushu nodded, took off the armor on his body, and fled quickly.

The three thousand bandits fled in a hurry before they could fight the Pingnan army, but they must not have known that on the way to escape, there was a small force of soldiers and horses of the Pingnan army, waiting for them.

Nan Jiyun led two reconnaissance teams of 110 soldiers, armed with Zhuge crossbows, waiting for them on a high slope to throw themselves into the net.

"Whoosh ......"

"Uh......"

As soon as the three thousand bandits entered the ambush position, they were attacked by an overwhelming rain of arrows, and they suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and the mountain road, which was not too wide, was covered with the corpses of the bandits.

The bandits, who were injured but not dead, lay on the ground and howled miserably, and were killed by the crossbow bolts that followed, and the bandits who fled the fastest were killed by arrows, which made the bandits behind subconsciously stop the pace of rout.

"Big ghost master, there is an ambush ahead, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties."

"Ambush, where are the ambushes?"

He only saw the bandits in his eyes, but he did not see the shadow of the ambush soldiers of the Pingnan Army.

"Great Ghost Lord, it's on the high slope ahead, and the arrows are shot from there, and there are at least thousands of crossbowmen."

"Big ghost master, the main force of the Pingnan Army has caught up, just three miles behind him."

The invincible looked back and saw that the Pingnan Army was really a lot closer, which shocked him greatly, the bandits were the most adaptable to the mountain road, but they couldn't outrun these Pingnan Army, which once again shocked him by the strength of the Pingnan Army.

Of course, the Pingnan army is a simple peasant man, and his physical strength is not lost to these bandits who rob houses, and after nearly a month of rigorous training, their physical strength has been further enhanced, and the speed and endurance of running in the mountains have surpassed that of the local bandits.

"Big ghost master, there is a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier in the back, we can escape in five ways."

"Big ghost master, it's not okay, it's better to surrender!"

Invincible was furious: "Bastard, have you forgotten? The brothers who surrendered from the six stockades were all taken to the city of Luzhou and beheaded, surrendering is only a dead end, even if it is pardoned, those of us who are in charge will not be pardoned, only by breaking out of the encirclement is the only way to live, give me a rush. ”

"Rush, rush out."

The bandit leaders shouted, but no one dared to take the lead and rush to the road paved with corpses.

"Click......"

Jian Wushu personally killed a number of bandits, and scolded: "Rush over, if there are any more dissatisfied, kill ......"

The main force of the Pingnan Army behind him is getting closer and closer, and the black pressure is a neat team, which has caused great psychological oppression to the bandits, and it will definitely be a death to be caught up, rushing forward, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Under the compulsion of the invincible, a large number of bandits covered their heads with their arms, stepped on the corpses of their companions, and quickly rushed forward.

Invincible grabbed the corpses of the two bandits as shields, sandwiched them among the bandits, stepped on the corpses all over the ground, and rushed forward with crossbows like raindrops.

The frequency of Zhuge crossbow's shooting is very against the sky, and more than 100 soldiers of the Pingnan Army continuously fired crossbow arrows, creating the momentum of hundreds of crossbow soldiers, so that these bandits could only flee, but they did not dare to attack the position where the crossbow bolts were fired.

The officers and men of the Pingnan Army would not have the slightest mercy for the bandits, and when they saw the bandits fleeing in a hurry, they immediately accelerated the launch of crossbow arrows to cause greater losses to the panicked bandits as much as possible.

Crossbow bolts rained down, causing great losses to the fleeing bandits, and a large number of bandits fell to the ground because of the arrows.

He was not shot by the crossbow arrows, but the two bandit corpses he was holding had been shot into hedgehogs.

Leaving two hedgehog-like corpses on the ground, the invincible man was scared into a cold sweat, so many arrows, if they were shot on his body, he would have become a hedgehog long ago.

Looking back, I saw that one-third of the more than 3,000 brothers had been hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and only about 2,000 brothers rushed over, and many of the more than 2,000 brothers were slightly wounded by arrows in their arms.

Even the hair of the Pingnan Army did not touch, and nearly half of the three or four thousand men and horses under his command were lost, which made the invincible feel very annoyed, he had been crisscrossing Luzhou for many years, and he had never suffered such humiliation, and today's temptation made him lose face.

He felt that his cheeks were hot, as if he had just been slapped by someone.

"Ghost master, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go quickly!"

Seeing that the invincible expression was stunned, his subordinates hurriedly persuaded.

Invincible came back to his senses, stomped his feet and sighed, turned around and fled quickly.

Nan Jiyun stayed in place and waited according to Li An's military order, and did not pursue the bandits who rushed through the ambush, after all, there were too many bandits, and if these hundred soldiers were allowed to catch up, it would inevitably cause casualties.

Soon, the main force of the Pingnan Army led by Li An personally arrived at the location of Nanjiyun's ambush, and saw the corpses of bandits all over the ground, and of course, the bandits who were seriously injured and could not escape.

"General, our army eliminated more than 1,000 bandits in a few rounds of arrow rain and ran more than 2,000."

Nan Jiyun ran out of the ambush and loudly reported the results.

Li An's face was full of joy, and he nodded: "Yes, the power of the Zhuge Repeater is even more powerful than I imagined, and I will let you ambush here, just to verify the power of the Zhuge Repeater, it is really domineering enough." ”’

"General, there are more than 2,000 bandits who have run away, why not take this opportunity to annihilate them all, what are you doing here?"

Several generals became addicted and wanted to continue the pursuit of the bandits and annihilate all the bandits.

Li An said with a smile: "Poor Kou Mo chase, besides, there are so many bandits in Luzhou, if we eliminate them all now, in the next two months, we will have no place to practice in actual combat, how boring it will be!" ”

"Haha! The general is raising bandits as piglets! When there are guests at home, kill a few to entertain, no guests come, continue to raise, you say, isn't it! ”

"Hahaha!"

The generals all burst out laughing.

Li An looked at the nearly 1,000 corpses in front of him and the bandits who fell to the ground, and said lightly: "Dig a big pit and bury them all." ”

"General, there are still a lot of gasps? Are they all buried? ”

The general was a little surprised.

Li An nodded lightly: "They are all serious injuries, and they may not be saved, so don't waste resources for them, bury them all!" ”

"Yes, General."

The subordinate will unconditionally carry out Li An's order, bury the bandits who were shot and the bandits who were seriously injured and have not yet lost their breath into the deep pit, and trample the upper part tightly after covering the soil.

Although Li An and his Pingnan army did not continue the pursuit, the bandits, who were already frightened birds, did not dare to rest in the slightest, and crawled all the way back to the invincible lair.

The invincible lair is an extremely dangerous hill village, with cliffs on three sides, and only one of the passable roads is also a steep uphill slope, and there are mountain springs and wells in the village, so you don't have to worry about the water source.

After returning to the lair, he ordered his men to immediately close the gate of the village, closely probe the surrounding situation, and let the remaining bandits of the village who were not yet breathing as coolies to build various fortifications for him.

In the view of the invincible, the village where he is located is an easy to defend and difficult to attack barrier, as long as the prevention is strict, even if the Pingnan army has great ability, it is impossible to break it, and in order to cause greater damage to the Pingnan army, and in order to be more safe, the invincible must continue to strengthen the defense of the village, and even, the three cliffs have been built arrow towers to prevent the Pingnan army from climbing up from the cliff.

In this battle against the bandits, the Pingnan Army annihilated more than 1,000 bandits and captured nearly 100 of them at the cost of being unscathed, achieving extremely brilliant results.

After returning to Hulu Valley, Li An gave a reward to all the soldiers and reported the results of the battle to the imperial court, and for the nearly 100 bandit captives that were captured, Li An decided not to kill them, but imprisoned them in a courtyard in the East Valley, strictly guarded them, and let them work as coolies.

The bandits are all lazy people, and it is difficult to make them do coolies, as Li An expected, these bandit bastards grind foreign workers when they are working, and find fault and make trouble from time to time, they don't do much work, but there are a lot of troubles.

How could Li An not cure these gangsters, during a trouble, Li An happened to bump into him, so he killed several of the most ferocious bandits, and hung the bodies in the place where they worked, so as to deter the rest of the bandits.

Since several of the most troublesome bandits were killed, these usually lazy bandits have suddenly become much more diligent, and their work has become more and more sophisticated, and no one dares to make trouble anymore.

Because the bandits left too many traces when they fled, the scouts of the Pingnan Army followed all the way, and easily discovered the invincible lair, and after some careful exploration, they returned to the Hulu Valley and reported the situation to Li An.

For the invincible nest, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ang Lee is not afraid, as long as he can find this nest, is he afraid that he will not be able to destroy it? The siege team's newly built heavy equipment is no joke.

In the following days, Li An successively dispatched a number of soldiers of the Pingnan Army to the vicinity of the invincible lair to capture a small number of bandits from outside, and after capturing them, they were escorted to Hulu Valley to work as coolies.

Almost every time the Pingnan army goes out, there will be a harvest, but the invincible nest does not know what happened, he only knows that all the bandits who went out have not returned, but he does not know that they were captured by the Pingnan army, and he thinks that they fled because of fear.

In order to prevent any more people from 'escaping', he ordered the entrance and exit of the cottage to be closed, prohibiting anyone from coming and going at will, and only sending his most trusted subordinates out to scout and buy necessary supplies.

But he was completely disappointed, and his most trusted subordinates also failed to return after leaving the village, as if the world had evaporated.

Of course, this is because there are many small units of the Pingnan Army, which take turns to hide outside the cottage, and as long as there are bandits who come out, they will quietly capture them alive and send them back to Hulu Valley to work as coolies.

All the people who left the village failed to return, let alone bring news from the outside, and even the people who were hidden in Luzhou City did not send news for a long time, which made a large number of rumors suddenly rise in the village, and it was an extremely frightening rumor.

Invincible had no choice but to completely close the village and kill the bandits who walked the rumors to calm the terrifying atmosphere in the village.

The workshop in the East Valley of the Hulu Valley, Li An and his subordinate generals, are verifying the newly built catapult, this kind of equipment has been available for a long time, it is a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications, and for thousands of years before the appearance of artillery, this kind of bulky large-scale siege equipment has always been the main equipment for attacking fortifications, and has been valued by major empires.

As an elite division capable of attacking and defending, in addition to having well-trained soldiers, the Pingnan Army must also be equipped with heavy weapons for attacking fortifications, and only by equipping these sharp weapons can it reduce losses and inflict heavy losses on the enemy when attacking fortified positions.

Li An made many improvements to these siege catapults, and let the craftsmen be responsible for the construction, and after many transformations, the power of the catapults has naturally been greatly improved, and the accuracy and power of the projection have been greatly improved.

"General, the bandits' lair hasn't moved for two days in a row."

Nan Jiyun hurriedly rushed over and reported the situation to Li An.

Li An was stunned, and said with a straight face: "Let the soldiers continue to monitor, launch an attack in three days, and try a few newly created weapons." ”

"Yes, General."

Nan Jiyun received the order, and said with a smile on his face: "General, launch an attack on the bandits' lair in three days, let me be the vanguard!" ”

Li An hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I can let you be the vanguard, but this is a tough battle, very dangerous, and it is very likely that there will be a lot of casualties among the officers and soldiers of our army." ”

"General, I'm not afraid, the soldiers of my reconnaissance team have long had itchy hands, and they are waiting to launch a strong attack on the bandits' lair."

Nan Jiyun grinned.

Li An nodded, and then assigned the division of labor to attack the bandits' lair in three days.

The main purpose of this attack was to verify the power of several new weapons and to test what kind of results the officers and men of the Pingnan Army could achieve in such a dangerous environment, so that they could have a deeper understanding of the Pingnan Army under their command.

Direction of Queensland.

Queensland Thorn Shi Rijin's face was full of joy, and he paced excitedly in the courtyard.

Nanzhao has just received news that the two daughters of King Pi Luo Ge of Nanzhao are about to arrive in Queensland, and the henchmen he sent also returned to report, saying that the two daughters of Pi Luo Ge are stunning and first-class beauties.

The thought that he would soon be able to become a family with Pi Luo Ge as his sons and daughters, it was difficult to suppress the joy in his heart. (To be continued.) )
