In the afternoon, outside Luohu Valley, a group of Ming troops arrived late, led by an old acquaintance of the people of Huangzhushan, Su Jiakang, the commander of Zhengtai County.

When these Ming troops arrived outside the Luohu Valley, even though these Ming troops were not familiar with the many dangerous places in the mountains, people with a little military knowledge could see that this valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If the two armies are fighting, as long as the ambush side blocks the valley passage tens of meters wide, then the army passing through the valley can be divided into two halves to fight separately, and the terrain in the valley is narrow, and the troops cannot be deployed, and then a crushing defeat is inevitable.

Although Zeng Ziyun, a thousand households in the Ming army, was a thousand households inherited from his dead father's class two years ago, and did not have any combat experience.

But as a disciple of the general, he was destined to become a thousand households from birth, and he was trained as a martial artist since he was a child.

So as soon as he saw the seemingly low valley in front of him, he was a new vigilant person.

Immediately walked up to Su Jiakang and said, "Master Su, the terrain ahead is dangerous, do you want the army to wait first and send some scouts to check one or two?" ”

When Su Jiakang heard this, he frowned slightly, and there was a hint of disdain in his frowns, this Zeng Ziyun relied on the merits of his ancestors, and he inherited the position of a thousand households before he was twenty years old.

originally thought that even if this person inherited the position, but he was from a Jiangmen family, he should still have some courage, but he didn't expect this person to be so timid.

Is there any strong enemy in this mountain?

There's a fart!

There are several groups of bandits in this mountain, and the largest of them is the target of their trip: Huangzhushan, En, that is, the pseudo-Tang.

What kind of goods is pseudo-Tang, others don't know, but he Su Jiakang is still not clear?

Half a year ago, he personally led the county Yong to suppress the puppet Tang Dynasty in Lijiazhuang, and killed the puppet emperor Li Erbi on the spot.

Later, he took the county Yong to hunt down and kill the pseudo-Tang prince Li Xuan.

The two battles have made him fully see the essence of the Tang Dynasty: this is a few bold and ignorant villagers fooling around, and then a group of bandits with ulterior motives are involved.

In the face of such a Tang Dynasty, Zeng Ziyun had to be cautious!

However, despite the disdain in his heart, Su Jiakang did not object, anyway, they were not in a hurry, and it didn't hurt to wait for a while.

After Su Jiakang nodded slightly, Zeng Ziyun first asked the team to stop, and then arranged for spies to go to the valley in front to check to see if there was an ambush or something.

The actions of these Ming troops outside the valley were naturally clearly seen by the people of Huangzhushan in the valley, and they saw that the Ming army stopped, and they also sent spies.

Huang Xueren's face immediately turned cold: "I didn't expect these Ming soldiers to be cautious!" ”

Fang Dongquan said: "What are you afraid of, let the brothers hide it, is it difficult for a few of their spies to turn over both sides of the valley to find it?" ”

Butcher Chen also nodded and said, "We have few people, and the woods on both sides are dense, so it is impossible for them to find us!" ”

Sometimes, there are fewer people and fewer people are good!

The high mountains and dense forests on both sides of this valley may not seem to be large, but the woods are very dense, and it is easy to hide the two hundred of them.

As long as they are careful, there is little chance of being discovered!

Of course, they still have a way to retreat, that is, if they are discovered by the Ming army in advance, then they will run immediately, this mountain is high and dense, is it possible that the Ming army can still outrun the bandits who are wandering around the mountains every day?

Just kidding!

You have been Fang Dongquan's bandits for more than ten years, and if you don't have the ability to escape in the mountains, you will have been exterminated by the government a long time ago.

As time passed, five or six spies of the Ming army also entered the valley one after another, and began to search for both sides of the valley.

If the people of Huangzhushan are a group of regular troops, and have made many preparations for the ambush, such as the rolling logs, boulders, etc. arranged on the top of the mountain on both sides, they will definitely be discovered by those spies at a glance.

But the problem is that although the people of Huangzhushan have the name of the Tang Dynasty, they are not regular troops, how to fight this ambush, how to do the trap is ignorant, for them, the so-called ambush is to hide on both sides, and then when the time comes, immediately rush out to fight.

There were no logs, boulders, traps or anything like that.

In this way, there was no flaw left, and those spies of the Ming army walked back and forth in this valley as quickly as they saw flowers, and they came out without finding any traps or anything like that.

After seeing that the spies had returned safely and did not find anything unusual, Zeng Ziyun in the rear nodded, and then waved his hand, and the stopped army slowly entered the valley.

"They're in, the big guys are all set!" On the top of the mountain, Fang Dongquan, who had already re-drilled out of the dense forest, lowered his voice and commanded.

The distance of the Ming army was getting closer and closer, and soon a small number of officers and soldiers entered the valley, and the brigade of men and horses was following behind.

"When they're all in, we'll rush down!" Fang Dongquan once again whispered to the people around him.

At this time, Butcher Chen, who was not far from him, had already held an enlarged version of the pig-killing knife in his hand, and behind Butcher Chen were more than 20 bandits among the people in Huangzhushan.

These twenty or so bandits are not the strongest among the people in Huangzhushan, but they are the least afraid of death.

At that time, Butcher Chen will take these more than 20 bandits as the vanguard, and Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren will lead a large group of men and horses to rush behind.

If Butcher Chen's charge goes well, then they will be able to fight a tailwind battle, and victory will not be a luxury at that time.

If Butcher Chen's charge doesn't go well, then they will turn around and run, and if they can't beat it, they will run, which is not a shameful thing.

More and more officers and soldiers entered the valley!

Fang Dongquan felt that the palm of his hand holding the knife had begun to sweat, and there was a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

Rao is the mountain breeze in early winter, which can't bring him a trace of coolness!

Slowly, he raised the long knife in his hand, he was already ready to give the order to attack at any moment!

But at this critical moment, the Ming army that entered the valley suddenly had a trace of panic, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers at the front began to shout something.

A few generals who seemed to be big men ran forward to check.

Seeing this scene, Fang Dongquan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, could it be that they had discovered these people?

No, these people haven't charged yet, the brothers are still hiding, and these Ming troops haven't climbed to the top of the mountain, so it's impossible to find them now.

But soon, he knew why these Ming troops were panicking.

Because it was at the other end of the valley, I don't know when a large number of people appeared, and the number of people was at least nearly a hundred.

Although it was a little far away and he couldn't see it clearly, Fang Dongquan still recognized it at a glance, this suddenly appeared in the other part of the valley was not someone else, but the Cockscomb Mountain bandits they had attacked just a few days ago!

How did they get here?
