Chapter 156: Mistakes are Mistakes
Xiao Tianjian looked at the officers and soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and trembling like chaff, and he was honestly a little angry in his heart, originally he led his troops to the Stone Buddha Temple yesterday afternoon, and hid the soldiers in the dilapidated Stone Buddha Temple, and there were also 500 recruits who were placed behind the hillside that they did not want to leave, waiting for the officers and soldiers to come to the door.
He didn't expect that the official army might send scouts to explore the way, so he arranged twenty elite subordinates inside the temple gate to deal with the other party's sentinels.
But after waiting all night, the enemy sentry did not come, but this morning, Shi Ran's scouts came back with the news that a large number of officers and soldiers were only less than five miles away from here, so that they were all a little relaxed, thinking that there would be no more enemy sentry to explore the way here.
Xiao Tianjian and his subordinate Yan Chongxi had the idea of using the Stone Buddha Temple to set up an ambush here, and when the official army brigade passed down the mountain, let go of its vanguard, and then stop the waist and attack the official army, and then after disrupting the enemy army, order Liu Bao, who was hidden behind the hillside not far away, to lead the recruits to block it, intercept the enemy army in front, at least bite off a large piece of meat of the official army, and then take advantage of the situation to wave the army to cover up and defeat the official army on this road.
But I didn't think that there would be no more enemy sentries to come to the Stone Buddha Temple, but there were eight official and military sentry scouts, and as soon as they arrived here, they went straight to the Stone Buddha Temple.
So the ambush soldiers who stayed in the temple gate rushed up and took them down, but they didn't notice that there was a scout of an officer and army behind them, and the guy had found that there were people in the temple who ambushed them, so they immediately turned over and fled in the wilderness, so that the subordinates who set up the ambush couldn't catch up, and even Shi Ran's scout couldn't catch up with the guy, so that the scout fled back like a frightened rabbit.
This sudden situation disrupted Xiao Tianjian's original plan, and now their actions can be said to have been exposed to a certain extent, but the other party doesn't know if they will guess that they will come out of the nest and set up an ambush for the officers and soldiers here. I had to fight to the death with the officials and soldiers in Tianlong Village.
Looking at these trembling officers and soldiers, as well as the two terrified two village girls who were captured by the officers and soldiers, Xiao Tianjian was angry and didn't fight anywhere, and after a little interrogation, these guys recruited them one by one, it turned out that they were coming to the Stone Buddha Temple to share the spoils, and they also wanted to rape (long live harmony) these two village girls in this Buddhist place, so the officers and soldiers can really be said to be rotten to the extreme.
"Kill! Not a single one to stay! Xiao Tianjian waved his hand with a cold face and commanded, Yan Chongxi nodded, and ordered without saying a word.
Several officers and soldiers were so frightened that they peed their pants and wailed for mercy, but after a while, their begging for mercy stopped abruptly, and several bloody heads were presented in front of Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian didn't bother to look at these grinning heads, and instructed his subordinates: "Send dozens of brothers to pretend to be chaotic, set up some deer barrage outside the temple gate to resist horses, just make it simpler, and arrange a few more people to pretend to escape along the road below, now although our whereabouts have been broken by them, but I estimate that the main general of the official army may not be able to guess that we are ambushing here, and the others continue to stay in the temple, do not expose their whereabouts, and wait for the official army to come!" ”
The generals immediately took over the order to make arrangements, and after a while, dozens of soldiers went out of the temple gate under the leadership of Feng Gouzi, and arranged a horse rejection outside the temple gate, pretending to resist, and a few Shi Ran's subordinates rode down to the road under the temple, immediately carrying some burdens and other things.
It didn't take long for a group of officers and soldiers to rumble on the road to the east, and people rushed towards the location of the Stone Buddha Temple with a neighing horse, followed by hundreds of villagers, all running forward, and the momentum was not too small.
Shi Ran's subordinates, who were riding horses, saw the officers and soldiers of the brigade appear on the official road, so they immediately beat their horses and left, fleeing in the opposite direction.
Liu Fang personally led the team to rush ahead, and at a glance saw the few thieves who were fleeing with horses, and then saw dozens of thieves who were busy arranging horses and other things on the left half of the road, and then looked around, except for the dilapidated temple, there was no shadow of thieves around, which was completely relieved.
"Humph! I don't know what is dead or alive, I still want to use my mantis arm as a car, Zhao Zongqi, you take your brothers to chase those thieves who escaped, and the rest of the brothers listened, and killed this stone Buddha temple with Lao Tzu, and took this pole's nest, and violated the order, you all know how this official will deal with him! Rush me! After Liu Fang led the army to the foot of the Shifo Temple, he raised his hand to stop the hundreds of officers and soldiers who came with him, pulled the reins of the horse and looked up at the "panicked" thieves on the slope, sneered, and shouted to his subordinates.
The Zhao Zongqi who was named answered loudly, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered more than 20 people under him, he led a team of cavalry, and the task of pursuit could only be done by him, seeing that there were only a few thieves who escaped, but they also saw the bulging packages held by those thieves on their horses.
According to his way of thinking, he immediately firmly believed that these thieves must be the ones who escaped from the thieves, and they must have carried a lot of valuable things when they fled, and if they caught up with them, it was estimated that they would definitely be able to salvage a fortune, so he immediately led more than 20 of his subordinates, screaming and patting their horses down the mountain road.
When he saw a large number of officers and soldiers arriving here, Feng Gouzi, who was leading the team to arrange the rejection of horses and other things on the hillside, pretended to be panicked, scolded the soldiers under him, hurriedly picked up the bow and arrow, and made a posture of carrying it to the death.
And Liu Fang looked at their actions, and became more and more convinced in his heart that this was just a small strand of poles entrenched here, how could he not be able to take them down with so many people?
So he immediately beckoned his subordinates to move the boxes of swarming bees that he brought with him to the front of the formation, placed them in front of the formation, set them up, and removed the front covers.
After each box of bees was ignited, it soon swished and spewed flames, shooting out one rocket after another, the flight trajectory of these rockets was not stable, not to mention any precision or inaccuracy, but their value was reflected in the quantity, five boxes and a swarm of bees were cast at the same time, that is, nearly two hundred rockets were sent out continuously, and suddenly they roared towards the hillside to cover the past.
The soldiers led by Feng Gouzi looked very flustered, and hurriedly raised their rattan cards or willow shields to cover their bodies, squatted on the ground, and reduced the exposure of their bodies as much as possible.
Feng Gouzi also held a shield, his arm shook twice in a row, and he caught two rockets with his shield, but he was not injured, listening to the endless swishing sound, Feng Gouzi spat and foamed on the ground and scolded: "Grandma's, the officers and soldiers are amazing!" I can't stand it here! Brothers, retreat into the temple! Block the door and don't let them in! Run! ”
He shouted loudly, and after this round of rockets was fired, these dozens of people outside the temple gate abandoned the rejecting horses and other fortifications that had not yet been arranged, robbed a few brothers on the ground who were injured by the rockets, and fled towards the dilapidated stone Buddha temple.
Only a few archers followed Feng Gouzi's palace and symbolically put a few arrows downward, but they also used light arrows, although they shot down the mountain, they did not pose any threat to the officers and soldiers under the mountain, but caused the officers and soldiers to laugh.
The Stone Buddha Temple is only more than 200 steps away from the official road under the mountain, at this time there was a burst of women's crying in the temple gate, because the distance is relatively close, although it is not true, but many officers and soldiers still heard the woman's cry, and suddenly came to the spirit, there are women in the temple!!
"But it's just a rabble! Come on, brethren! Knock down here and take the heads of these thieves back, and this official will reward you! After Liu Fang heard the cry of the woman in the temple, his heart was completely in his stomach, and he firmly believed that there would be no ambush here. This stone Buddha temple must be the lair of other thieves, and it can't be wrong!
Seeing those thieves fleeing into the temple, and closed the tattered temple door in a panic, the officers and soldiers who came with Liu Fang and the township soldiers were also relieved, especially after hearing the woman's cry, they were even more one or two came to the spirit, this time they were bargained, not only to lay down this stone Buddha temple to have a reward, there must be women to play, the other party is not manpower, who will not go on such a cheap thing!
Therefore, after hearing Liu Fang's order to attack the mountain, the more than 500 officers and soldiers of the village bravely rushed up the mountain like bulls, screaming, raising the weapons in their hands.
The simple horses that had just been improvised could not stop their onslaught, and they were soon pushed down by the officers and soldiers and dismantled into a pile of waste wood, and a large number of officers and soldiers rushed to the monastery.
Soon the officers and soldiers rushed to within fifty steps outside the temple, at this time in the broken temple wall, revealing the figure of twenty or thirty thieves, according to the courtyard wall towards the temple began to fire arrows, Leng Buding and some people held two bird guns and put two shots, just close to the temple The momentum of the officers and soldiers and the villagers was suddenly blocked for a moment.
