Chapter 58: The First Battle of Daqingshan

After making up their minds, the war machine of the Broken Capture Army was quickly mobilized under Liu Fan's order, and all the squads outside were notified to quickly combine near Daqingshan.

Liu Fan personally led the team to the vicinity of Daqingshan to reconnoiter the environment, and finally found that Daqingshan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea. There is only one trail that leads up to the mountain, the rest is cliffs. It is impossible for Liu Fan to capture a cottage guarded by 3,000 people with the strength in his hands alone. In desperation, Liu Fan had no choice but to wait for the arrival of the large army and think of another way.

Five days later, all the troops in the formation except for the 500 heavy soldiers Liu Fan who stayed behind to guard the Shihe salt field and the newly formed Liaodong Army soldiers of more than 1,300 people arrived. Liu Fan immediately convened a meeting of the officers to discuss countermeasures.

The next day, a salt-selling caravan consisting of 200 guards appeared on the road leading from Daqingshan to Jiaozhou. This is the team that is led by Li Xiaohu himself, and it is also the most elite unit under Liu Fan.

"Two masters! A caravan came down the mountain! There are about 200 people! Look at the banner, it's not our local caravan in Jiaozhou! It seems to be from Jinan Mansion! With a lot of cargo! There were also a couple of carriages. Looks like a fat sheep! A minion reported to Fan Chonghu

"Have you found out where it came from? The eldest brother has instructed, don't provoke those gentry and heroes! Otherwise, we won't have good fruit to eat! Fan Chonghu asked

"I didn't have time to check it in a hurry! But I think it's just a rich man passing by with his family! Second, do we want to do a vote? The minion replied with a grin

"Pig's head! Will the rich man bring 200 guards? You got kicked in the head by a donkey? Hum! This little thing can't be done! Eater! Walk! I'll see for myself! "Let's take my cronies to a lookout post near Daqingshan!

"I don't think this is a caravan! And what kind of big family or official wants to come to Jiaozhou to take office or visit relatives or something! Look at the atmosphere of marching between these guards, they look like elite families! The second master still has some knowledge, and after a careful observation, he said to the cronies around him.

"The second brother is really amazing! You can see the origin of these people at a glance! The cronies complimented, and then said, "Second brother, should we do it?" You see, there must be a lot of goods full of goods! It's a shame to watch them go by like this! ”

The second master thought for a while, looked at a few people around him and said, "!" Why not! After doing this, not only do you have money to spend, but also women to play! Lao Tzu hasn't eaten meat on this mountain for a few months! How could you miss such an opportunity! You guys are staring here! Lao Tzu went back and called someone! If you want to do it, you have to be ruthless! This time I'm going to catch them all! Let's also learn from the eldest brother to get a young lady from a big family to go back to be the lady of the village! When the time comes, those maids and maids will be rewarded to you! ”

Everyone was overjoyed, "Thank you for the second master!" "Hey, hey, hey, he

The second master, Chonghu, personally took people up the mountain to find Chongxing to explain the situation and asked the eldest brother to give it to him. was reprimanded by the eldest brother for a while, and the anxious Chonghu retorted loudly, "Big brother! You have a sister-in-law, you are happy every day, you can't care about your brother's life or death! I'm your own brother! Seeing that I am about to be in my twenties, I still don't have a daughter-in-law, and we are all rough men on this big green mountain! Occasionally, a woman came up and was ruined by a group of people! Where is there any decent woman? We are the daughter-in-law of bandits, and we don't rely on robbery, do we still want to marry the media? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I don't want to miss it! Big brother, don't you think about our old Fan family? ”

Chongxing was told by his younger brother that he felt guilty for a while, he himself caused trouble and went up the mountain to become a bandit, and his family was also affected, although he didn't have to suffer hardship! But being a bandit has a bad reputation after all! Marrying a daughter-in-law has become a big problem! No matter how rich he is, no good family is willing to marry his daughter into a den of bandits! Generally, village girls worship their own identities and can't look down on them! So I've always felt sorry for the entrustment of my dead parents for not taking good care of my two younger brothers! After his younger brother's roar, Chongxing felt even more uncomfortable! Grit your teeth and don't care about any gentry! Anyway, I'm 3,000 years older, so I don't need to look at other people's faces! It's still important to his brother, and he immediately said, "Okay!" Brother, I'll give you this chance! But not for example! If there is no lady in it, I won't help you next time! You'll have to figure it out for yourself! ”

Chonghu was overjoyed when he heard it! hurriedly promised: "You put down big brother!" There is no next time to keep it! You're just waiting for the Joy Bar! ”

Seeing his brother's happy appearance, Chongxing was also happy, I haven't seen my brother smile so heartily for a long time, it seems that I am derelict in my brother's dereliction of duty! The thought of this added a sense of guilt, and then said, "I'll give you half of them this time!" That's fifteen hundred, so you have to get things done! Don't leave the wind leaking out! I won't spare you! ”

Chonghu shouted excitedly, "Thank you, big brother!" Just take a look! With that, he ran out of the hall with his eldest brother's warrant like a gust of wind.

When Chonghu came to the sentry with his men, Li Xiaohu was leading people to slowly enter the vicinity of the main peak of Daqing Mountain. Looking at the caravan close at hand, Fan Lie was excited and shouted, "Brothers! Rush me up! Kill all the men! Leave the woman! Uncle, I will also be a groom officer today! There's a reward for everyone! When the minions heard that there was a reward, their morale was greatly boosted, they raised their weapons in their hands, and with a strange scream, they rushed towards the caravan in a swarm!

Li Xiaohu had long been secretly paying attention to his every move around, looking at the bandits rushing down the hillside, and shouted, "Equip for battle!" Array! The pro-soldier team immediately pulled out the birds, big knives, shields and other objects hidden in the car, and gathered around Li Xiaohu to set up a formation, and the rest of the soldiers of the war battalion dressed as porters also pushed the cart to form a semi-circular car formation to block the enemy's attack! The distance below the hill was not too far, and the bandits rushed down as soon as the army was in formation.

Li Xiaohu ordered the bird guns in the front row to fire quickly, and suddenly there was a burst of gunsmoke, and the sounds inspired by the bird guns came and went, and the bandits who rushed in the front row were immediately hit, where could the bandits with no protection resist such a close shot, and they were killed one after another. Although the bandits in the back row saw their companions die, they still rushed up fiercely despite the large number of people!

Under the impact of many bandits, the car formation was torn open a gap in less than a moment, without an order, the shield hand of the Broken Army stepped forward to block the gap, and the sound of screaming and slashing sounded, and the two armies were short to each other, and the shield bearers of the Broken Army were all some Liaodong soldiers, who were good at fighting on the battlefield, where the bandits were comparable, although the number was small, they still steadily blocked the impact of the bandits.

Li Xiaohu was afraid that the bird gun would hurt his own soldiers, so he ordered to give up part of the bird gun and replace it with a big sword to join the ranks of shield bearers to resist the attack of the bandits. With these new forces joining, the Breaker Army suddenly gained the upper hand and fiercely expelled the bandits from the car formation.

At this moment, a bandit accidentally slashed the cloth bag on the car, and suddenly the sand in the bag flowed out along the gap! The bandit's sharp-eyed can see it at a glance! I feel bad in my heart! Immediately exclaimed, "Not good!" It's an ambush! There is no food in the car! It's sand! We've been tricked! Hearing this man's shout, the bandits, who were still a little sober, immediately stopped and looked ahead, and there was indeed sand in the bag! Retreat with a scream!

Chonghu, who was in the distance, also saw the situation in front of him, and a burst of anger surged into his heart, he actually fell for the trick! This is an ambush by the officers and soldiers! Thinking of his promise to his eldest brother before leaving! Immediately, his eyes were red, and he howled angrily, "There are only two hundred of them!" We have 2,000 people! Ten times as many as them! Brothers, rush up and kill them all! Cut off a head, and I'll reward him with ten taels of silver! "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, ten taels of silver is really a lot of money for a minions who can only earn two or three taels a month, the bandits are carried away by the huge benefits, and they rushed to the car formation with red eyes and howling! At this time, who cares whether it is an ambush or not, they only know that there is a sea of gold and silver in front of them.

In the face of such a crazy fighting style of the bandits, the numerical disadvantage of the captives was immediately highlighted, blood was splashed, stumps were flying, casualties gradually began to appear, and the defense line of the car formation was also precarious. Li Xiaohu personally went into battle shirtless, still barely blocking the impact of the enemy.

Half an hour later, Li Xiaohu was covered in blood, the traces of the sword on the armor were criss-crossed, and his body was also covered with the blood of the enemy who couldn't tell whether he was his own or the enemy, and in the face of the frontal attack of four or five enemies, he still fought hard, raised his arm and slashed towards an enemy who wanted to sneak attack, and the huge force made the bandit in front of him even split the knife in half, and the splashed blood sprayed Li Xiaohu's face with brains! Li Xiaohu cut down the enemy and shouted, "Brothers! Hold on! Adults will be coming to our aid with reinforcements soon! ”

Before the words fell, the earthquake trembled, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and it was indeed Liu Fan who personally arrived with the cavalry! The soldiers of the Broken Army suddenly became more energetic, and they fought desperately with the enemy in front of them.

After a few breaths, the cavalry had already rushed to the battlefield, and Liu Fan personally ordered two hundred horsemen to rush towards the bandits' flank. Xueliang's saber was pulled out, and everyone shouted "Kill!" Liu Fan took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation, his arm slashed, and his head fell to the ground. The knights followed and slashed their enemies with the tremendous impact of their horses. In just a quarter of an hour, he broke through the bandit formation, turned around and lined up to start the second round of charge. At this time, Chonghu was already dumbfounded, how could they, the mountain bandits, withstand such a fierce battle. I forgot to react for a while! It's still the reminders of the cronies around to ease up! Hurriedly ordered to resist! But where can it be stopped? Liu Fan had already made a second charge, and the bandit brigade was immediately defeated! At this time, the men and horses of the Broken Army Brigade had quickly approached the battlefield, and the neat pace and loud slogans gave people a huge impact.

At three breaths, the war battalion had already fought with the bandits on the periphery, and with a neat shout "Kill!" "Spears like a forest! The bandits in front of him didn't even have time to react, and they were pierced through the body by spears. The barracks of war rushed forward with overwhelming momentum, and any bandits who stood in their way were torn to shreds!

The bandits were suddenly heartbroken, and they threw down their weapons and ran towards the cottage without looking back! Chonghu personally saw that the general trend had gone, and picked up Chonghu, who was still roaring loudly, and ran desperately towards the mountain. For these bandits who had lost their hearts, Liu Fan did not chase after them, and ordered to divide and surround the remaining bandits who wanted to escape, and strangle them with all their might!
