Chapter 73 The Raid Begins
Prior to this, Wan He and Qin Qiong had already detected the movements of the bandits, and the bandits wanted to take advantage of the unique geographical location of Wang Ma Mountain to ambush the vanguard army this time. Wangma Mountain is located on the official road, which is the only way to Liaodong, and the bandits set up their camp in the middle of the mountainside, as long as the vanguard army passes through the official road, the bandits can rush down the mountainside and attack the vanguard army.

In fact, according to this plan of the bandits, if it goes smoothly, even if the vanguard military learns about it first, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the bandits' defense line in a short time. It's just that this bandit can't be compared with the regular army of the Great Sui, and this bandit's action is a joint action of several people, and there will definitely be inconsistency in the order! Just like the current situation, a tight defense line should have been arranged in front and back of Wangma Mountain, but only more than 100 people could be left on the top of the mountain, and the defense line at the foot of the mountain was very loose, so a small group of soldiers and horses like Wan He and others would be allowed to slip up!
After Qin Qiong and Wan He explained, they immediately said: "According to the intelligence, the bandits in the bandit camp now mainly have five soldiers and horses!" Led by Zhang Jin, the other four are Meng Rang, Pei Changcai, Guo Fangpre and Ge Qian! These five soldiers and horses, Zhang Jin said that he was in a group with Pei Changcai and Guo Fangqian, while Meng Rang and Ge Qian were in their own factions! You see, the camps on the mountainside are mostly Zhang, Pei, and Guo, but the banners of Meng Rang and Geqian are very few, so the soldiers and horses of Meng Rang and Geqian should not be in the camp, so we are also much easier! ā
"Ugh!" Wan He's face was not as pale as it was at the beginning, but he still had some fear, and asked with a worried face: "Brother Qin!" We only have about a hundred people now, so how many people will there be in the bandits' camp? ā
Qin Qiong smiled faintly and said lightly: "According to the information obtained by the previous spies, the bandits have gathered a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses this time!" After the arrival of the general, most of the soldiers and horses will be sent out, and there should be less than a thousand people left in the camp! ā
When Qin Qiong said the 200,000 soldiers and horses, Wan He was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, that was a full 200,000! You know, the entire vanguard army is only 50,000 soldiers and horses! Now they only have a hundred men under them, and it is a fantasy to attack the camp of 200,000 soldiers and horses! Then I heard Qin Qiong say that the enemy ** part would not be in the camp, Wan He's face was a little better, but when he heard that there would still be more than a thousand people left in the camp, Wan He began to worry again, and hurriedly said: "Brother Qin! The other party will still leave so many people in the camp! We only have a hundred people, will it be too reluctant? ā
Regarding Wan He's worries, Qin Qiong smiled, his face showed incomparable confidence, glanced at his subordinates left and right, and said proudly: "Sometimes, it doesn't work if there are many people!" Brother Wan, just take a closer look! ā
As he was talking, suddenly, a horn sounded from the official road at the foot of the mountain, and when he heard the sound of the horn, everyone was also in high spirits, and at the same time looked towards the bottom of the mountain. I saw a neat lineup of soldiers and horses slowly walking along the official road to the foot of Wangma Mountain, needless to say, it was the vanguard led by Lai Hu'er! Qin Qiong gradually became excited, the double whip in his hand was slowly raised, and he shouted in a low voice: "Okay! Come to the general, they do it! It seems that the enemy is about to attack! ā
Sure enough, before Qin Qiong's words were settled, he heard the sound of war drums from the camp, accompanied by countless shouts and kills, a large number of soldiers and horses rushed out of the woods near the camp halfway up the mountainside, and directly killed the vanguard army of the official road under the mountain! I saw that the mountains were all over the field, and they were all banners, and Wanhe's eyes were spent. Wan He couldn't help but get nervous, hurriedly grabbed Qin Qiong's arm, and asked, "Brother Qin, this, this, they won't be okay when they come to the general, right?" ā
Wan He asked this, but it wasn't because he really cared about Lai Hu'er, if the vanguard army lost, Wan He wouldn't be able to please him, even if he could barely escape this catastrophe and return to Luoyang, he wouldn't be able to escape Yang Guang's knife! Qin Qiong didn't think about it so much, just answered Wan He's question: "Don't worry!" The general is not an ordinary person, these bandits seem to be powerful, but for the general who has been prepared for a long time, these 200,000 rabble are nothing at all! ā
"Ugh!" Wan He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, daring to love that bad old man so powerful! Wan He has been slandering him for being a fake and serious before! It's a shame that I didn't mess with the old man, otherwise, hiss! Thinking of this, Wan He involuntarily shrunk his neck, feeling a chill on the back of his neck.
"That's it! We're ready to act! Just when Wan He was secretly frightened, Qin Qiong beside him shouted, waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, and jumped directly from the top of the mountain! It sounds very scary, but in fact, it is not so mysterious, the mountain of this Wang Ma Mountain is very flat, and there is a large open space below the top of the mountain, and the open space that Qin Qiong jumped down from the top of the mountain is only two or three zhang high. And the hundred elite soldiers also followed closely and jumped down one after another.
"Ten thousand brothers! What are we going to do? Seeing Qin Qiong and them rushing down, Cheng Yanjin was also itching in his heart, but he had a more important task, that is, to protect Wan He's safety, so Cheng Yanjin could only move his eyes to Wan He.
"Mommy's! Above! "Wan He is also out of the way, anyway, he has come to such a troubled world, and sooner or later he will not be able to escape this catastrophe, it is better to take advantage of the present and get familiar with all this as soon as possible!
"Good Lat! Ten thousand brothers! Be careful! Cheng Yanjin heard Wan He's words, it was a great joy, and he immediately grabbed Wan He's arm, jumped over, and jumped directly from the top of the mountain!
"Ugh! Lao Cheng! You're jumping too far! You jump, ah! Wan He was pulled by Cheng Biting Jin like this, and before he could react, the whole person had already flown out, but Wan He immediately found a problem, that is, Cheng Biting Jin's jump was obviously farther than Qin Qiong and them, and it had completely surpassed the open space that Qin Qiong and them jumped into. After the two jumped to the highest point in the air, they fell directly, perfectly showing the effect of the earth's gravity, so shocked that Wan He couldn't help but scream!
"Hahahaha!" Before Wan He's exclamation was finished, Cheng Yanjin laughed, and took Wan He in the air, such a broad body turned around flexibly several times, and finally landed firmly on a huge mountain rock. Looking up, this jump, Cheng Biting Jin actually jumped six or seven zhang in one breath! Cheng Yanjin laughed loudly and shouted to Qin Qiong and the others behind him: "Brother Qin! We're not waiting for you! ā
Wan He was taken aback by Cheng Biting Jin at first, and when he saw that he was safe and sound, he was just relieved, but when he heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he immediately became nervous again, and said to Cheng Biting Jin: "Old Cheng!" We don't need that, ah! Before he could finish his words, Cheng Yanjin jumped again and leaped towards the bottom of the mountain again, and the poor young master could only end his speech with an exclamation again.
And behind the two, Qin Qiong saw the backs of Cheng Biting Jin and Wan He, a pair of eyes also flashed a bright light, and the pride in her heart rose, and she shouted to the soldiers behind her: "You speed up and keep up!" After speaking, Qin Qiong thrust the double whip in his hand behind him, and also jumped with him, and actually flew down the mountain like Cheng Biting Jin, even a few points faster than Cheng Biting Jin!
Besides, the bandit camp on the mountainside, Qin Qiong's previous judgment was not wrong, to deal with the well-equipped regular army, the bandits did not dare to be careless, so most of the soldiers and horses in the camp had been sent out, leaving less than a thousand people to stay in the camp. Of course, in the camp, Zhang Jincheng and leaders such as Meng Rang and Ge Qian still stayed here to watch the battle. Their current status is not as good as before, and they don't need to fight and kill in person like before, they just need to watch the battle again.
The leaders stood on the platform at the gate of the camp, looking at the battle situation under the mountain, at this moment their soldiers and horses had officially clashed with the Sui army under the mountain, but this battle situation was not as easy as they had estimated in advance. In the face of the sudden attack of the bandit army, the Sui army appeared very calm, set up a formation, and met the attack of the bandits on the official road. Seeing this, all the leaders frowned, and Meng Rang said in a deep voice: "It seems that as Zhi Shilang said, the officers and soldiers already know our plan and have already prepared!" ā
"Humph!" A strong man next to Meng Rang snorted coldly, this person is Shandong Haojie Geqian, and he can be regarded as a relatively powerful person among the bandits from all walks of life in Shandong, because of this, he is neither attached to Zhang Jincheng nor Gao Shida, and he has a bit of an independent taste. For Meng Rang's worried words just now, Ge Qian was very unconvinced, and snorted: "Even if that's the case, what? Our coalition has 200,000 troops! It's easy to break these Sui troops! ā
Zhang Jin said that he had not spoken, this time he could be said to have officially torn his face with Gao Shida, and only earned this opportunity, for Zhang Jincheng, it was only allowed to succeed, not to fail. Don't look at Zhang Jincheng on the surface, he seems to be very calm, but he is very nervous in his heart, especially when he sees that the battle situation below is beginning to fall into a stalemate, his hands are tightly clenched into fists, and he can't wait to lead the troops to kill him personally.
And at this time, a burst of noise suddenly came from behind everyone, Zhang Jin said that he was annoyed in his heart, and suddenly heard such a noise, his heart became more and more unhappy, and he shouted angrily: "Bastard thing!" Who made you argue? Someone! Cut down all those noisy guys! ā
