Chapter 27 The Battle of Feng Zhuang II
Hu Yanmei had already sent someone to inform the Hydra of the ambush, and at the same time sent someone to carefully search for suspicious places on the road, so that four or five minions dismounted and tested step by step with knives and guns, and really found two other traps for him, so as to advance cautiously while waiting for the news behind.
Han Wang took Xiong Da Chasing the Wind and two hunters with good archery skills, and quietly lurked along the path in a cemetery about 800 meters away from the right side of Zhuang Qian, which was less than 100 meters away from the main road.
Overgrown with weeds, some bushes and thorns, and some sparse fallen trees, both for concealment and for blocking cavalry pursuits.
Han Wang's target was the five minions who were concentrating on searching on the road a few hundred meters away from the Erlongzhai cavalry, and he would try to kill two or three more, and it was estimated that he would be able to arouse the anger of this team. As long as they dared to pursue, Han Wang could take advantage of the complex terrain in this area to hit them hard.
After a while, the thief who reported the news came back, the nine-headed dragon was furious, not aimed at Hu Yanmei, but ordered Hu Yanmei to do a good job of investigation on the road, he brought the troops as soon as possible, and the two teams of men and horses combined to attack Fengjiazhuang, after breaking the village, all the Zhuang people who participated in the resistance, regardless of men, women and children, were all executed.
The big boss gave an order, and the people searching on the road also sped up, and after a while, they entered the ambush range on Han Wang's side, and the two hunters were ready.
Han Wang shouted in a low voice "Shoot" The swishing sound continued, and the two hunters each shot four or five arrows, although they hit the two of them, after all, the distance was still a bit far, and most of them either missed or were dodged.
After the shooting, Xiong Da and the Chasing Wind Cover Hunter immediately withdrew to Zhuangzi, still lurking in the grass, and he bet that the horse thief would definitely chase and kill the four sneak attackers. As long as the horse thief enters this ambush circle, his individual combat skills can exert great power.
Hu Yanmei was shocked, and after seeing the situation clearly, it was even more smoky, these bold peasant men don't know whether they are alive or dead, and the fox is not threatening, you are a sick cat? At a distance of 800 meters, the speed of the horseback could be intercepted before they returned to the village, and according to the superiority of the cavalry over the infantry, these four men would definitely die.
Hu Yanmei immediately took a dozen horse thieves to chase after him, what he relied on was that even if there was an ambush, he could leave if he wanted in the open area outside the village, and no one could stop him.
Hu Yanmei's riding skills are good, the horse's foot strength is also good, a ride is the first to chase after it, and more than ten horsemen behind him are also fast horses, rolling up a burst of smoke and dust on the ground, and the momentum of people calling horses is not weak.
However, although the fox is angry, the sensitivity of the profession still looks around vigilantly, trying to avoid places where people may be hidden, but the minions behind him don't have this kind of awareness, and they are all full of thoughts to chase after and hack these four people to death.
Chasing Wind and the two hunters watched the cavalry chase closer and closer, looking a little flustered, and ran desperately while looking back. Xiong Da didn't bring his big axe when he came out, but carried a spear to defend himself, it is common sense to use long weapons to deal with cavalry, Xiong Da can do the head level of the general, naturally he will not be stupid enough to use an axe to fight against the cavalry.
He was accustomed to battles, and to put it mildly, he crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he didn't pay attention to dealing with four or five thieves alone.
What's more, Han Wang will sneak attack and intercept the pursuers, Wu Gui and Da Niu are at the receiving point on the side of the village with more than a dozen swordsmen, once Huyan Meizhong Ji chases over, they will also immediately go out of the village to support and encircle this group of horse thieves. As long as you and the four-person team of Wind Chaser Hunter hold on for a few rounds, they will be able to encircle these horse thieves.
Three hundred meters away from Zhuangzi, Hu Yanmei had already caught up with Xiong Da, lowered her figure, reached out and pulled out a double gong from behind, ready to smash it on the head of the tall man.
I didn't want Xiong Da to turn around and squat, the spear in his hand was firmly on the ground at a forty-five degree angle and straight into the horse's neck, if he didn't change direction, it would be equivalent to hitting the tip of the spear directly; The two archers and the other person had already returned to Xiong Da's back, and they were shooting arrows with bows and arrows, and flying locusts and stones were flying around, and there were actually one or twenty swordsmen running out of the Zhuangzi in front of them.
It seemed that he had been tricked, and his right foot buckled the stirrup, and with the reins, he forcibly turned the horse's head and rushed to the right. Shouting "There is an ambush, go quickly!" ”
Before Hu Yanmei's warning was shouted, Han Wang had already rushed out of the grass like a tiger descending from the mountain, sped up a few steps and rushed to the side of a horse thief in the middle of the pursuers, jumped up and grabbed his clothes, and the horse thief was actually dragged off the horse by him.
Before the horse thief's body landed, the boning knife in Han Wang's hand passed around the major artery on the side of his neck, and then ran to the next target regardless of it, this series of actions was in the blink of an eye.
And the horse thief screamed and fell to the ground, feeling that the left side of his neck was spurting blood, and he was busy blocking it with his hand, but unfortunately Han Wang cut his carotid artery, and no matter how he blocked it, it was useless, and the fountain of blood gushed out rapidly from between his fingers.
In an instant, half of the horse thief's body was already red with blood, and the opening on the side of his neck was like a big mouth constantly spitting out bright red blood, and the horse thief still screamed and kept running in the grass, calling for help from his companions, but most of his companions were too busy to take care of themselves and couldn't control him at all.
After a while, the thief's consciousness gradually blurred, and finally he knelt down, and then fell to the ground, convulsed, and could not be saved.
The sudden change made the horse thieves behind Hu Yanmei panic, and the two or three horse thieves who followed him rushed to Xiong Da before they could react.
Dodging the saber that slashed at him, he stabbed the thief in the abdomen and struck him, turned around and opened the spear stabbed by another horse thief, and fought him to the ground.
And Chasing Wind and the two hunters concentrated their firepower on another horse thief who rushed over, and the three of them hit one person, especially the short-range hit rate of Chasing Wind was not missing, and first hit the man with a stone in the face; The horse thief instinctively covered his face with his hands, and the two hunters calmly fired, one in the chest and the other in the leg. The thief was also strong, and he rushed directly in frenzy regardless of waving his saber, and the three of them had to roll in embarrassment.
Although the horse thief rushed over, but it happened to hit Wu Gui's big bull's hand, Wu Gui was willing to let go, and rushed to the front of the horse in two steps, leaned over to avoid the horse thief's attack, and cut off the horse's calf with a knife.
The horse lost its balance at high speed and threw itself on the ground, smashing up a cloud of dust, and the horse thief was already seriously injured, and then fell heavily on the horse's back, foaming at the mouth and dying. Wu Gui had the Flying Tiger in his hand, so he couldn't look down on the little thief, so he glanced at the big bull.
Da Niu naturally understood, stepped forward and cut the thief's head with a knife, regardless of the blood splashing and staining his clothes, and proudly shouted with the thief's head, "Open the door is in hand, and then get two more levels, and I Da Niu will also be an official and soldier."
The swordsman behind him was naturally red-eyed, and in order to stimulate the swordsman and the villagers, Han Wang offered a reward before the battle. Usually, people spend only one or two taels of silver a year, and one or two pieces of silver are only 1,500 yuan.
The swordsman who has nothing is taking his life for money, how can he not feel distressed when the money is snatched away by others, and some of them shout when they are in a hurry, "Brother Da Niu, you are fast, and you also leave some drinking money for us poor brothers!" ”
The big cow laughed, "Promise, promise, go back and drink, please!" But he tied his head firmly around his waist with a rope. Follow the crowd and rush towards the remaining horse thieves.
Although Han Wang rushed into the middle of the horse thief, although it caused a mess to the horse thief, the horse thief was not ambiguous, and immediately three or four people came up to surround him with swords and guns, Han Wang relied on his fast skills, and they were fighting, scurrying under the horse's belly, and after a while, another horse thief was killed, but he was stabbed in the left shoulder, fortunately it was not deep.
Seeing that Xiong Da and Wu Gui were surrounded on all sides, he was so determined that he no longer risked fighting, and jumped out with a false move.
A few horse thieves looked four more times, Hu Yanmei had already run away, and four or five horse thieves saw the opportunity quickly and followed Hu Yanmei to the right, and the remaining four or five found that the situation was wrong and wanted to escape.
At this time, they were surrounded by everyone, the horse speed did not get up, and the collision had no strength, and the swordsmen were eager to make money, so they stepped forward bravely, and ended up with three thieves for a while; The remaining two were frightened, threw away their weapons, rolled off their horses, and kowtowed and begged for mercy; A swordsman was red-eyed, stepped forward and kicked one over and was about to cut and take the money.
Han Wang felt that keeping the captives alive could still come in handy, so he stepped forward to stop him, "This good man is slow, although these two thieves are guilty, they have abandoned their weapons and begged for mercy, and it is ominous to kill them, so we still bundle them up and hand them over to the government, and reward Han Mou with silver and red, how about it?" ”
As soon as the swordsman saw that it was the owner of the gold who spoke, and he was not short of his own reward, how dare he not be happy, nodded again and again, and spat at the thief, "Dog thief, and let you live for two more days" stepped forward and tied the rope with a strong rope.
Seeing that the thief fled far away and couldn't catch up, everyone had to take the captives back to the village first, and after counting the results: Han Wang killed two, Xiong Da killed two, Da Niu killed one, and the swordsmen killed three and captured two. Ten horse thieves were annihilated, and five war horses and six sabers were captured, and only Han Wang and two swordsmen were slightly injured.
This ambush battle to lure the enemy into the depths was finally a complete victory, Han Wang cashed in the reward at the moment, and the swordsman was naturally elated when he got the money, and those who didn't get it only hated that they were slow, and secretly decided that they would definitely take the lead in the next meeting.
As for Xiong Da and Da Niu, they were a little embarrassed to accept the reward, but Han Wang stuffed them on the grounds that strict rewards and punishments could better improve morale, and Da Niu twisted for a long time or accepted it, Xiong Da smiled and divided the bounty to Chasing Feng and the two hunters. The hunters were only injured and failed to kill, but the lure of the enemy was indispensable, and Xiong Da relied on them to cover to force Hu Yanmei to retreat, and only then did he have a chance to kill the two horse thieves.
Chasing the wind is not good at words, but he and the hunter are consistent, and they insist on returning Xiong Da consistently, and pop out a sentence "One person is consistent, everyone has a share", Xiong Da no longer shirks when he encounters such a real stuffy gourd.
However, the happy time didn't last long, and Han Wang got the news that the nine-headed dragon and the bandit brigade had arrived. Han Wang boarded the simple urn city at Zhuangkou, and the bandits looked like there were more than 100 people from the scale, fully armed, and they also played the banner of the nine-headed dragon of Erlongzhai, and they were approaching Zhuangzi with great momentum.
It was nearly noon, the two sides were tense, and a bloody battle was about to begin.
