Chapter 142: Black Pine Forest
The Tan family army was in hot pursuit, and the front and rear feet came to the slope of the mountain where the stone pillar soldiers and horses disappeared, only to see that on the official road in the depths of the pine forest, the group of stone pillar soldiers were running in a hurry, and some people kept looking back, and when they saw the Tan family military horses, they hurriedly turned back and galloped. [No pop-ups. 】
Tan Wence galloped to the front, and saw a large pine forest, the dense pines and cypresses on both sides of the official road were almost impossible to see at a glance, the branches and leaves in the forest were dense, blocking the sunlight, the light was dim, looking at it from the outside, only to see the eyes were full of darkness, and even the three-zhang wide official road was covered by the branches stretched out, and a cool breeze blew between the trees, which was extremely pleasant in this midsummer.
The group of stone pillar soldiers loomed in the shade of the trees in front, and the silver cart pulled by the single horse was very conspicuous in the crowd, and one of the silver carts that fell at the end had a box tied in the bumps of the rope loosened, fell down, and fell to the ground with a "snap", and the shiny silver nuggets scattered all over the ground.
Some of the stone pillar soldiers shouted, as if they wanted to turn back and pick it up, but they were stopped by the officer who led the team, and a group of people rushed away with a silver cart and ignored it.
The sunlight in the shadow of the tree shone on the silver nugget, which was a newly dissolved silver ingot, and before the inscription was inscribed, a piece of silver was the size of a green brick.
The eyes of the pursuers were straight, and their pupils shone eagerly, and the fatigue of running for more than ten miles on a hot day was suddenly swept away, and the already somewhat scattered formation was even more disfigured, shouting and rushing up, and rushed into the pine forest.
Originally, there was still a trace of clarity in Tan Wen's heart, and the art of war that Feng Lin had not entered appeared in his mind for a moment, which made him hesitate a little, but the box of silver instantly shattered his reason, and the behavior of the stone pillar soldiers became not suspicious.
The pine forest is very large, and six thousand people are crowded on the official road, winding for nearly two miles, like a torrent mixed with red and black, leaking into the pine forest, the Tan brothers did not notice that on the edge of the pine forest, in the forest separated by two dirt slopes, there are countless pairs of tigerish eyes staring at them, clenching the blade in their hands.
When Tan Wen's team chased down the place where the silver fell all over the ground, there was a little S chaos, the soldiers scolded each other for the silver pieces, and each other fists and feet, Tan Wen simply resolved the dispute, and he ordered the heads of the two leaders to be cut off.
"Whoever dares to stand still, this is the end!" Tan Zhi roared, and while asking his own soldiers to collect the silver pieces, he held the severed head to show the public.
The whole army shook, after all, death was much more terrifying than silver, and the pursuers who had paused slightly began to rush forward again, but after such a delay, the stone pillar soldiers in front could not even see their shadows.
However, Tan Wen is not in a hurry, anyway, this road leads to the stone pillar and Tusi City, it doesn't matter if the gang is defeated, the silver car must also stay in the stone pillar, as long as it is laid there, nothing can run away.
The group of people and horses galloped on the official road with colorful shadows, and the pine forests on both sides were quiet and silent, only the shouts and shouts of the Fengjie soldiers on the official road, and from time to time there were flocks of birds in the forest that were startled and fluttered their wings and flew into the sky.
Tan Wen rode his horse and ran with the brigade, while constantly looking at both sides, if there is an ambush, it should be the right time at this time, the whole army has entered the narrow forest official road, the official road is getting narrower and narrower, now it is only two zhang wide, more than 6,000 people are crowded inside, the soldiers walking on both sides can enter the pine forest as long as they stretch their legs, a cannon sound and then the ambush is exhausted, and they are killed from the bushes, then their more than 6,000 people will be explained here.
However, this palpitating scene did not appear, except for a lot of birds flying in the forest, not even a rabbit jumped out, Tan Wen was a little apprehensive, and as time went by, it slowly fell.
At this moment, in the middle of the official road in the distance, a vague figure stood quietly in the Y shadow of the tree branch, and suddenly appeared in sight.
The figure is isolated on the loess road, one man and one horse.
As if he had been waiting for a long time, the shadow saw the galloping Tan family military horse, and moved, and the knight pulled out a long G-shaped object from behind him and took it in his hand.
This figure is, of course, Ma Xintian, who has already changed horses, just so that when he escapes, his mount can run faster.
He sat firmly on the horse, there was no trace of panic on his expressionless face, and the crowd of people and horses rolling in the distance seemed to be nothing in his eyes, staring intently at the Tan family soldier running at the front, calculating the distance between each other in his heart.
The three Tan brothers saw Ma Xintian almost at the same time, and the three of them reacted differently, Tan Zhiman didn't care, thinking that he was a fool in front of him, and he wanted to learn from Zhang Fei to fight thousands of troops, and cut it down; Tan Hong didn't react, he hadn't figured out what the situation was; Tan Wen was taken aback, and immediately shouted to the surrounding generals.
"Quick! Stop moving forward and keep your players on both sides, pikemen outside, and archers inside to keep the woods at bay! ”
"The sword and card players enter the forest, and all the cavalry dismount and prepare for foot combat!"
Tan Wen laid down two orders one after another, the reaction was not unpleasant, his army was also different, the miscellaneous soldiers were chaotic and unorganized, squeezed into a push, the players could not squeeze out, the archers could not squeeze in, and they were entangled like a mess for a long time before they did it according to the order, and his clan soldiers were different, the warriors in half-body waist armor immediately protected the position of the three brothers, the cards held shields to form a human wall, the pikemen held a five-foot spear from the gap in the shield and stretched out to the dense forest, the archers opened their bows and arrows at any time to hit the enemy troops who appeared from the forest, And many sturdy soldiers armed with short weapons such as knives, shouted and rushed into the pine forest to meet the ambush soldiers who had not yet appeared.
But they spread through the pine forest more than ten paces away, but there was not even a single figure to be seen, and there was nothing but wild grass and shrubs among the dim bushes.
With a body of pine needles, the soldiers turned back from the forest and reported to Tan Wenyu.
Tan Wen's reaction actually surprised Ma Xintian, who was standing more than a hundred steps away.
From entering Tan Wen's field of vision, to his issuing an order to tie up his position, to establishing a defensive position and releasing soldiers into the forest, but he did it in the blink of an eye, such an ability is beyond many generals of the Ming Dynasty, and he does not panic and deal with it in an orderly manner, but it is a little abnormal to see that there is a person in front of him who dares to stop the army before he dares to stop alone, and he can immediately think of a trap ambush.
A steady person must live longer, especially a soldier with a soldier.
Ma Xintian and Tan Wen were far apart, and they only had time to look at each other, and Ma Xintian took up the bird system in his hand and aimed at the dense Tan army.
Tan Jun, who was standing in the forefront, immediately erected a shield wall and looked at him vigilantly.
Pretending to be * is very dangerous, the other party can quickly react, he is just a person, and running away after shooting is the best policy.
The bullets were also loaded, the medicine was also compacted, Ma Xintian only took a rough aim, pulled the trigger, and a "bang" shot was released, and the sound of gunfire echoed in the air above the empty pine forest, and it was heard far away.
After firing this shot, he immediately turned around and urged the horse to run.
At such a long distance, not to mention whether you can hit or not, even if you hit, the small lead will become the end of a strong crossbow, and there is no threat at all.
Looking at Ma Xintian, who fled with a smoke, Tan Wen was a little stunned*, and then became furious: Damn, this is bullying Lao Tzu!
Lao Tzu has 6,000 people, you are alone, and you dare to shoot at me, in vain I was actually frightened by this person like a fool, and stopped the army and set up the formation, as if I was facing a great enemy, but I didn't want to be played by a bold guy! Won't I, Tan Wen, be ridiculed in the future!?
His white face turned red, then blue, his teeth clenched, and he shouted at the second and third children who hadn't figured out why they were waiting for the battle: "What are you doing in a daze? Catch up with me, kill that man alive!" ”
