It was a premeditated ambush.

As soon as Zhao Dangshi's voice came out, everyone heard a series of "bang bang bang", and then two of his subordinates who had not yet left the saddle fell from their horses with a muffled sound.

"It's a bird!" Another subordinate shouted, the voice of the battle, which had been fought for years, was all too familiar. In this situation, it is bound to be an ambush.

The team suddenly rioted, and a few people jumped on their horses to escape, Zhao Dangshi pulled the leader off the horse, drew his sword to suppress, and said: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, and we are in the middle of the idea when we are in chaos." ”

Hou Dagui has rich combat experience, and he also knows that he can't panic at the moment, so he glanced at the location of the two corpses that were shot, knew it in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "All hide behind the horses, the idea is in the west." ”

At that moment, everyone was in a hurry, and they hid on the side of the mount, and there were two more rings from the west halfway, but fortunately, none of them hit.

When they came back to their senses, everyone's minds were a little calm. Zhao Dangshi secretly looked to the west, and saw a figure floating in a small forest thirty meters away, thinking that the enemy must be hiding there.

The Bird Gun is still an arquebus, and the reloading process is extremely cumbersome, and even a skilled veteran gunner can take nearly a minute to reload after a single shot. Zhao Dangshi and others have been on the battlefield for many years, and they are well versed in this, so they immediately divided into two ways and outflanked the forest.

The next development was unexpected by Zhao Dangshi. Two groups of men and horses approached the forest, and before they could do anything, five men came out of it with birds in their hands, and said that they were willing to surrender.

Hou Dagui handed over the bird guns, and brought these five people to Zhao Dangshi and said: "Hundred households, check carefully, there are only these five in the forest, and there are seven bird guns." ”

Zhao Dangshi was furious, kicked over the person who knelt first, and angrily reprimanded: "The melon cowardice of the dog's day, even five people dare to ambush Lao Tzu, really we are the shit in the dung pit and it will rot when you poke it?" Two brothers were killed in vain! In a fit of rage, he raised his knife and wanted them to be executed on the spot.

The one who was kicked was quite calm, and "Papapa" first kowtowed to Zhao Dangshi three times, and then said: "The leader is angry, this is indeed a villain who is beyond his own strength." With this trick, we fled all the way and scared away several streams...... No, good man. If you don't want to meet the leader, you can only accept your fate. ”

As soon as these words entered his ears, Zhao Dangshi's killing intent decreased. Although the guy in front of him was dying, he was not in a hurry, and he still laid suspense in his words to arouse his interest. Looking at his bluff scheme, it seems that he has some ability. The so-called wisher took the bait, and Zhao Dangshi took the opportunity to ask: "Look at you, you seem to be an official soldier?" ”

The leader nodded, "The leader has good eyesight." The villain's name is Xu Hui, and he served as the general manager of Qianqian under Zhang Quanchang, the chief soldier of Xuanfu. Zhang Zongbing was defeated in Zhangjiachuan not long ago, Tian Yinglong and Zhang Yingchun were killed in battle, and the villain and these brothers were spared and fled here, thinking of retreating to Xi'an to find troops, which is not ......"

Zhao Dangshi listened carefully, and was suspicious. He just asked a little, this self-proclaimed Xu Hui said so much, he really didn't look like a person with a city government, and it was very different from the scheming of the previous ambush, and then he looked at his eyes flickering, and he didn't dare to look at himself, so he expected that there were a lot of lies in it.

He didn't break it, and continued to ask: "You wait for five people, but there are seven bird guns, and they weren't from the firearms battalion before?" ”

Xu Hui nodded and said, "Yes, yes." The villain is the one who specializes in the bird's gun. ”

Zhao Dangshi smiled and said: "Since you can be an officer of the firearms battalion, your attainments in firearms are naturally not shallow. Coincidentally, I also have some research on birds, and I asked Mr. Qian to teach me a few things that I don't know. ”

"This ......" Xu Hui's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, and his eyes fluttered.

"May I ask Mr. Qian, how much medicine should be pressed on the pre-chamber filling of this ignition breech?"

"This ......"

"Well, maybe this question is too fine, then ......"

“……”

Zhao Dangshi looked at Xu Hui with a cold face, and asked a few questions about the bird, but the other party couldn't answer any of them, and in the end, seeing that the lie was exposed, Xu Hui "pounced" and knelt down, begging: "The leader spares his life, the villain doesn't mean to bully each other!" The villain was but a palladium hand, and he met this guy on the road with a few other brothers, and this guy was clever and colorful, and these gossip were all instigated by him......"

Zhao Dangshi followed his gaze, but saw that the man kneeling behind him was pale, his teeth were clenched, and he didn't say a word, only staring at the "Xu Hui".

"You are the real Xu Hui." Zhao Dangshi smiled slightly, bypassed the people in front of him, came to the man's side, and put his hand on his shoulder.

The man was still silent.

The villain and these brothers retreated from Zhangjiachuan, and could not find the main general, but met him, knowing that he was also a brother in the same army, and his position was higher, so he listened to him, and followed him back to the battlefield to pick up seven bird guns, and retreated all the way to Fengxiang. This guy is a bit crooked, and he has judged the ambush in advance twice to scare off the rogues, no, the enemy, the villain, etc., so that they can get here safely...... "That man doesn't say, it doesn't mean that others don't say it, the "fake Xu Hui" in front of him saw that he couldn't hide it, and he was eager to save his life, so he simply told the ins and outs of the matter and told him about it, hoping to exchange it for Zhao Dangshi's forgiveness.

"What the hell ......?"

"He loaded the bird guns in advance. I don't have to work too hard when I wait. The leader of the good people has a good reward, let the villain have a way out, and the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the leader and the heroes. Speaking of which, the fake Xu Hui had a handful of snot and tears, and he was completely dehuman.

In contrast, the man was much calmer, still standing upright, pursing his lips, and looking at death as if he were at home.

Zhao Dangshi patted the man on the shoulder again: "Look, their lives were saved by you, but in the end they pushed you into the fire pit." Alas, the warmth and coldness of human feelings can be seen from this. ”

When the words fell, the man suddenly spoke: "If you want to kill, you have to be happy, you don't have to grind and chirp sarcastically." Lao Tzu is a soft egg on the stall is to memorize the words and recognize it. I just hope that I will join the official army again in the next life and kill all of you straight mothers! ”

He said this very urgently, Hou Dagui immediately jumped up, and scolded with his halberd finger: "The goods raised by the maid dare to make noise when they are dying." I want to see if you have a hard mouth or this knife! After speaking, he grabbed the front and used the blade to pry the man's teeth.

"Wait!"

Zhao Dangshi stopped Hou Dagui and said to the man: "The sword of my surname Zhao does not kill nameless people." Respect you as a man, report your name. ”

When the man heard this, he smiled, looked at him and said, "Why don't you dare to say it?" Shunfeng is big, Lao Tzu is Xu Hui, a small hundred presidents under Zhang Zongbing, although the position is small, but he has also cut off a lot of your rogue heads, and now he is dead, but he is not a loss, haha! Speaking of which, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Hou Dagui was anxious, jumped over and said: "Baihu, this guy is full of farts, let us stab him, and save trouble." ”

As soon as these words came out, the grumpy ones in the rogue also nodded in agreement. This Xu Hui is extremely arrogant, and he dares to insult and provoke when he is dying, and he will never stay.

Zhao Dangshi had other plans. He beckoned to Yang Chengfu, and trotted up very obediently, listened to a few words, and took the two of them to escort Xu Hui to the other end.

When everyone saw this scene, they didn't know why. Hou Dagui scratched his head and was about to ask, but thinking of what he had experienced before, he still had an extra heart and swallowed his words.

When the four officers and soldiers who were kneeling on the ground saw Xu Hui being taken away, they thought they were going to kill him, and they were so frightened that they all cried in a big way.

Wang Laixing sneered: "Look at your scumbag, return to the official army." If the officials and the army are like you, his old Zhu family won't last long. ”

Zhao Dangshi shook his head and said, "They are all from bitter backgrounds, and I can understand the feelings of several brothers." Anyway, if Pingshui meets, it won't be difficult for a few. Throw whatever is valuable to you on the ground and scatter it. ”

"What!"

Hou Dagui and the others were full of hope to kill these officials and soldiers to commemorate the two dead brothers, and they were all shocked when they heard that Zhao Dangshi was going to let them go, and those officials and soldiers were overjoyed, crying and laughing and getting up, and thanking Zhao Dangshi again and again.

The four officers and soldiers searched up and down, and finally cleared out the valuable items on their bodies, Zhao Dangshi saw that they were just ordinary things such as wooden combs and hairpins, and he despised these four people in his heart - their lives would be lost, but they were still worried about the things outside their bodies, and they hid and tucked valuable things. If these hearts and eyes are to be used in battle, how can they end up in this desolate field?

Zhao Dangshi didn't know what the four officers and soldiers were thinking about, and they were about to run away, when they saw Yang Chengfu at the other end running over and talking to Zhao Dangshi in a low voice, Zhao Dangshi immediately shouted: "Slow!" ”

The four officers and soldiers were frightened, looked at Zhao Dangshi in horror, and then swept their eyes to Xu Hui in the distance. Xu Hui was still sitting there dignified, what tricks did this thief want to do? The four of them trembled, did not dare to go, and stood there awkwardly.

"The four military masters, unfortunately, things have changed. There is good news and bad news. ”

“……”

Xu Hui just said. I'm willing to surrender, but I'll have to get rid of you. ”

The four officers and soldiers looked at each other, shocked and frightened. Two of them gritted their teeth and said: "Good Xu Hui, it's just a matter of lowering yourself, and dragging a few of us, so it's not vicious!" The remaining two heads were stunned and almost collapsed.

"The four of you panicked, this was bad news just now. I think my surname Zhao has been mixed for many years, no matter what else, the word Xinyi is the most important, since I promised to let the four people live, I will not break my promise. Therefore, the good news is that you push the two out to die, which can be regarded as an explanation to Xu Hui. ”

When people reach the end of the road, in order to seek a life, they often expose their primitive despicability and ugliness. At that moment, the four officers and soldiers began to fight each other without thinking, in order to survive, and the bravery of their fists and feet completely exceeded their performance on the battlefield. Each of them caught each other and beat them all with blue noses and swollen faces, and their heads were bleeding, and only then did they launch two dying victims.

Zhao Dangshi didn't talk nonsense, went up and slashed the two of them, and shouted at the other two: "You two get out, go slow and be careful that grandpa Ma Jun catches up." ”

The two were able to escape, and they crawled away. Zhao Dangshi spat on their backs and ordered Yang Chengfu to bring Xu Hui over.

Xu Hui looked at the two companions who fell in a pool of blood with a miserable face, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Dangshi put the knife back into the scabbard and said to him: "Mr. Xu Bai, are you willing to surrender now?" ”

This guy is a hard bone, if he didn't descend just now, can he still bluff with this kind of scene? Hou Dagui didn't understand why Zhao Dangshi insisted on recruiting Xu Hui, and he didn't understand why he did anything in vain.

Who knew that Xu Hui was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "In this way, what can I do if I don't surrender?" "He is a smart man, and when he saw Zhao Dangshi kill half of the four people and release half of them, he knew that he had to surrender today. And it can't even be defrauded.

Zhao Dangshi laughed, helped him up with his own hands, brushed off the dust on his body, and said: "Mr. Bai forgive me, I can't make such a decision." I, Zhao Dangshi, promise that I will not treat Mr. Bai lightly in the future. ”

Xu Hui shook his head, his face was full of resentment, and he sighed: "From today on, I will no longer be a hundred presidents." Pity my old mother, if she knew that I was a thief, she wouldn't ......" At this point, she burst into tears.

Zhao Dangshi said solemnly: "Mr. Bai is loyal and filial, and Zhao admires it." However, the world is impermanent, today is a coward, tomorrow may not be able to be an official, there is no lack of precedent. Lao Zhu's family is exhausted, and the overthrow is only on the eve of overthrow, Xu Jiang always refuses to die easily, and he doesn't want to bury it just now......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Dangshi turned to everyone and said loudly: "Zhao is not talented, I hereby swear to all the brothers present that if you have a prosperous future in the future, you will not forget you." If you think that my Zhao is not good, you can leave, and Zhao will never complain! ”

When everyone heard this, they remembered the mutual reliance along the way, and all the blood was boiling, and Wang Lai was happy to see the opportunity, and first shouted: "Swear to follow the hundred households!" The remnants followed, and they all shouted. Although there were few dozens of people, the momentum still resounded in the sky under the shouting in unison.

Xu Hui stared at this little-known little leader in a daze, and he didn't know what to say.
