Chapter 757 Cattle knife to kill chickens, ambush battle in the deep mountains
After escaping in the deep mountains and dense forests for two days and two nights, Tian Biao, who is finally able to temporarily survive, has sunken eyes, dark eye circles, and the whole person has withered a lot. He looked around, and the countless minions around him were all pale and ragged, like a group of people who went out to beg for food just to make a living.
Compared with other accomplices who were captured or killed by the officials and soldiers, these remnants don't know if they are lucky, although as long as they are alive, as long as they have not been brought to justice by the government, they can have a hope, but now what makes these thieves suffer more is the fear of bumping into a large number of officials and soldiers, and the fatigue of running around all day long.
But although Tian Biao is now depressed and tired, he still thinks in his heart that two days ago, he led other strongman leaders to rush to the front to attack Dingxiang County, Xiao Tang led the official army to suddenly kill, and his eldest brother Tian Hu seemed to disappear out of thin air in the melee between the two armies. If Tian Hu was captured by the official army or captured alive in the chaotic battle, the Song army would inevitably clamorate in unison to force the rest of the strongmen to abandon their weapons and surrender, according to Tian Biao's understanding of his fellow brother, Tian Hu definitely already had an idea in his heart and was ready to regroup and make a comeback.
Although the Song army won a big victory the previous time, there were 35,000 people gathered around Dingxiang County, and most of them were annihilated by the Song army, and there will always be some remaining soldiers and horses who can escape like him Tian Biao. Coupled with the several rogues circulating around, if you can integrate these soldiers and horses to find a place to avoid the limelight...... It is said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, as long as the official mansion of the Song State is still dim and rotten, our brother's qi will not stop here!
Thinking of this, Tian Biaowu, who was tired, showed a hideous look, and suddenly there was a sound of a drum in his abdomen, and he immediately scolded a little minion next to him to bring him some food. I am afraid that now the officers and soldiers are still patrolling the mountains to search and arrest, and Tian Biao and the remnants of his command do not dare to build firewood and bury the pot to make rice, so they have to eat some dry food they carry with them, or pick some wild grasses and wild vegetables in the mountains to satisfy their hunger, plus they have not closed their eyes and rested well for two days and two nights, and many thieves are already on the verge of physical and mental collapse.
However, although most of these fierce thieves did not know the allusions to Wangmei's thirst, what now supported them to continue to flee and resist was also what they had always regarded as commonplace. Even if they are starving and freezing now, many thieves still fantasize that as long as they can avoid the search and arrest of the officials and soldiers, they will find a place in the town to grab clothes and food... Kill some men and women who don't like the eye to vent the resentment in their hearts, drink and eat a lot of meat, and if there are a few more girls with fine skin and tender meat pressed on the bed to be happy...... Tut-tut, are we willing to do the rebellion with all our bodies, isn't that just for this?
After escaping in the mountains for another day, Tian Biao, who couldn't stay up anymore in the night, decided to find a relatively flat location in the mountains and stay overnight. It has been three days of hard work, not to mention that the officials and soldiers may not be able to find their actions, Tian Biao is also from the mountains in the end, how to choose a path to escape in the deep mountains and mountains has also gone through some thought, and he will not be able to eat for three days, and he is afraid that the man who is beaten by iron will not be able to endure it. It was because they had just fallen down on the ground at the bottom of a mountain valley surrounded by dense forests, and the thieves passed out one after another, as if they soon fell asleep......
But only an hour passed.
Tian Biao seemed to be dimly in his sleep and heard the shouting and killing around him, when he and Tian Hu, Tian Leopard two brothers were also regarded as the Qinyuan boundary of the Weisheng Army, often went into the mountains to hunt and stay overnight, and some famous hunters in the surrounding counties and towns, although tired and heavy, Tian Biao still quickly jumped up, and asked with a big victory: "What's the matter?" But there are officers and soldiers chasing after you!? ”
No one around answered Tian Biao's question, because those thieves didn't just get up with sleepy eyes, and they still thought they were in a dream, and some of them were panicking and shouting in the distance. Suddenly, the screams of the thieves stopped abruptly, and were replaced by a thunderous roar: "Thief bird! My brother has already set up a heavy ambush here, and now that you are surrounded by many people, you will not surrender on the ground, but when!? ”
Tian Biao was shocked when he heard this, he and the leader of the thief army beside him, who had finally come to his senses, hurriedly looked around the mountain, but saw countless torches on the surrounding high posts, and the loud horns and fierce shouts of killing suddenly sounded, and echoed in the middle of the valley like a dragon roaring and a tiger's roar. Suddenly another cavalry burst out from the east, and it was impossible to see how many men and horses there were in the dark night. The group of cavalry galloped at the bottom of the mountain valley, killing everyone they could, and many of the bewildered thieves just got up and lost their lives in a daze!
How can it be!? I have also arranged for the children to keep vigil around, even if there are really officials and soldiers killed, how can they be caught off guard? ...... I grass his eighteen ancestors! How many soldiers and horses are there to ambush here!?
Tian Biao, who was stunned, never thought that he was also a good guerrilla in the mountains, and he only knew that the catastrophe was coming when the enemy army killed him, but in the end, the three mountain hunters of their Tian brothers were just a business to make a living in the early years, and being a robber who killed people and set fires was a proper job, but Niu Gao, who was born in the deep mountains around Lushan County in Ruzhou, was a simple man who grew up in the barren mountains and mountains that were inaccessible to people!
In order to feed the whole family, Niu Gao not only made a living by chopping wood and being a woodcutter in the mountains, but also how to guard against poisonous insects and beasts in the deep mountains, and how to track and drive away prey was also his expert's ability. According to his deeds in the original official history, when he first set foot on the battlefield, he ambushed the Jurchen Jin soldiers and other hunting peoples in the white mountains and black waters, and he was able to achieve a few victories.
What's more, even if it was not carefully ordered by Wang Jin, Niu Gao knew very well that when ambushing the fleeing enemy army, the best time to attack was while the enemy was cooking or going to bed, and at that time the enemy's defense was the most lax. In the past, Niu Gao, who was honest and reckless when he got along with other brothers, was very calm in this day's time, he ordered his horses to wrap the horse's hooves with strips of cloth, and tracked Tian Biao and his party of thieves with horses, and personally led more than a dozen soldiers to quietly touch the four mountains to solve the strongmen who were outstanding, and after determining that the thieves under Tian Biao's command were almost asleep, Niu Gao ordered 200 soldiers to light torches and shout loudly on the surrounding posts, And personally led the horse army with more than a dozen experienced combat veterans to suddenly kill, the awakened thieves were not clear in their brains, they saw the officers and soldiers riding to kill immediately, and the surrounding shouts of killing shook the valley as if it were trembling, and they were also shocked at the time, where is there still the slightest thought to resist!?
In a moment, there were two or three hundred thieves who were suddenly killed by the Song cavalry, and most of the rest of the thieves screamed and crashed in the valley like headless flies, Niu Gao hurriedly urged the black-maned horse under his crotch to rush to Tian Biao effortlessly, and after he saw the appearance of the strongman leader in front of him, he immediately stared and shouted: "It turned out to be you, the birdman!" I also taught you that this guy has been rampant for a long time, and today I finally taught my grandfather to bump into it! ”
When Tian Biao saw the appearance of the black and dignified man in front of him, he was even more shocked, not that the enemies did not get together, when Xiao Tang and Tian Hu met on the narrow road of the Weisheng Army's Shimur Mountain, Tian Biao witnessed the ability of the jade-faced general under Xiao Tang to bow and arrow, and even shot his second brother Tian Leopard with an arrow, and this black man is amazingly powerful, and the double gong makes it extremely fierce and difficult, even if he is cruel and arrogant, but he still has a little self-knowledge, and now he is exhausted and has a gunshot wound on his arm, How can you win this murderous black man!?
Tian Biao shouted, even he didn't plan to make any resistance at this time, he just turned around and found a way to escape! Niu Gao, who had been prepared, immediately urged the horse to jump out, and the galloping black horse caught up with Tian Biao, Niu Gao bent down slightly, he picked up the heavy hammer in his hand and smashed it down according to Tian Biao, but when he heard the palpitating cracking sound, Tian Biao's right shoulder bone had been smashed by Niu Gao!!
Tian Biao let out a heart-rending howl, and then he fell to the ground and fainted in pain. Niu Gao pulled the reins and looked back, and saw that most of the thieves in the valley had fallen to the ground, and even shouted for mercy, his mouth cracked, and he smiled: "Come on! Tie up Tian Biao's bird and this thief, and then go back to ask Brother Xiao Tang for credit! ”
