One day at the end of December, a team of heavily armed horsemen set out from Yingxian County, escorted by hundreds of people to two prisoner carts, and headed south.

The Pu rode on horseback, wearing a well-made hill armor weighing 30 catties, with a mandarin duck straight and a knife hanging from his waist, and a longbow stuck in his back, with blazing eyes.

"That bow is a good thing, and in the military it is only qualified to use it at the level of generals, and even if it is, it is generally not enough for everyone to have one. A large bow of more than three stones can be shot with feet on a horse, and its power is so great that it can penetrate three layers of armor within one hundred and fifty steps! ”

King Li Yan pointed slightly, and then carefully put the leaves in front of him back to their original places. If the movement is too large, it may cause the rider to notice.

In fact, the hiding place of Xie Shence and the others was far enough away from the Punic team, and King Li Yan could only guess that kind of longbow could be the most sophisticated big bow in the Jin army only by relying on experience. The reason why he was so careful was because the Tiqi was extremely vigilant, and the small actions of the Xie family's diehards in the county seat of Yingxian County had caused a sensation before, so that everyone in the city could not do it at all, so they paid special attention at this time to prevent unnecessary accidents.

"In the canyon before, a small attack was launched, so when they turned the corner over there, they would investigate in advance, and after the men were scattered, the Punic Society would focus on the prince as soon as possible, it was not the best time at that time, so they could only wait until the open area."

King Li Yan analyzed this, and then Xie Shence nodded, then took out a piece of hard paper from his arms, took out a pencil and wrote and drew on it.

"If I were a Punic, I wouldn't be careless here, just because if you want to attack along the way, you can actually do it everywhere, but this is the only open area, and it is the place with the least chance of being attacked, maybe it will be a surprise but this is really a good place, so I hope for it."

As Xie Shence said, the place he pointed to with the tip of his pen was indeed not a good attack launch point, but fifty miles to the south, this is the only place that is not dangerous, and it is the least likely place. The Punic jumped a path that was not easy to walk, and it did not necessarily mean to lure the snake out of the hole.

After Xie Shence said it, he stared at the picture and looked at it again, carefully deduced it twice more in his heart, and finally carefully put the picture into his arms.

"My lord, the Jin people really sent some people to chase after the people of the Xie family. It's not that I said, those people from the Xie family are really vulnerable, and if it weren't for the exquisite arrangement of the adults, none of them would have been able to come back. Hey, it's sunset, and I can't even get a decent master."

Cao Baqi, who rushed over from the rear, whispered. Xie Shence claimed to be Yelu Qingzong in front of this group of people, and he was the concubine of the Yelu family with the first-class surname of Yan State, and the confidant of Murong Duan, the eldest princess of Yan State. In the eyes of Cao Baqi and others, although Xie Shence is a concubine who is not valued in the family, he is actually noble, and he is reused by Murong Duan, and he is higher than the Xie family of the Jin State of the same level. They didn't know Xie Shence's true identity, so they didn't have much kindness to the Xie family when they spoke out.

At the beginning, Xie Shence broke tens of thousands of bandits in Taihang Mountain in a battle, so that the horse bandits in Shandong Province were also frightened for a long time, after all, it was a few thousand people who broke tens of thousands of people, if they were to clean them up, even if they had the protection of the prince, they really had to do it, and tens of thousands of people were pressed over, and Shandong Dao helped each other, they thought to themselves, in fact, there was not much hope of winning.

During that time, some people and bandits in Shandong Province began the "bleaching" that they had previously disdained, and it became much easier to expand their influence among the horse bandits with the prince, and even subdued two forces that were not small in size.

Being scared of this kind of thing, in the hearts of the horse bandits who have always boasted that they are not afraid of the sky and dare not dare to pull the emperor off the horse, it is actually quite taboo.

However, this fear, the more angry or indifferent the surface is, the stronger the heart, and in the end, the horse bandits in Shandong Province occupy the mountain as the king, and every month they will invite the troupe to perform two good performances of horse bandits killing and retreating.

This kind of play, performed all year round, either killing Ti Cai, or killing Yan Jun and killing Xianbei people, can make people have emotions such as "Oh, I can actually beat him", "What are they if we are so powerful". This emotion was encouraged by some people, and gradually the horse bandits thought that they were indeed very powerful, and they could beat the Yan army and the Xianbei people, and then the fear changed, and it became an urgent hope to ask the tiqi to prove that they were indeed powerful.

I have to say that there are high-ranking people among the horse bandits, and this kind of control of public opinion and people's hearts has reached a very superb level. The means must be very ingenious, at the beginning, in order to suppress it to have some effect, it is impossible to say that there are one or two "chance encounters" that are really done in a fake show, and then the horse bandits win, as evidence.

Cao Baqi, who has lived in this environment for many years, actually has a fear of Tiqi in his heart, including Ge Monkey, but at this time, all he shows is a fierce desire to fight.

Xie Shence had no intention of pursuing the root cause of their powerful fighting intent, and he smiled in his heart when he heard them doubt and disdain the ability of Tiqi.

The fish pond of Yan Kingdom can make you hold your head and run away, so how can Ti Cai, who has won more and lost less against Yu Chizi all the year round, be so weak?

Not to mention the elite cavalry of Jinyang Road, that is, the cavalry of Datong Mansion, and the cavalry of Jinan Mansion are not the result of Yuchizi in the general sense of being able to contend with them, and the reason why it did not cause much pressure on the horse bandits is because the imperial court does not like the horse bandits, but hopes that they can ensure relatively complete combat effectiveness, and there are also some people who are also courting the prince and the result of checks and balances.

What creates conceit is often not the expansion of its own strength, but the deliberate clumsiness of the other party.

The cavalry turned around the foot of the mountain, and at the signal of the Punic, several leaders who were about the head of the division commanded the cavalry to search in all directions, and some of the cavalry gathered near the prisoner cart, stopped, and then waited for the cavalry to return to report, and then accelerated to pass.

"Get ready"

Forty or fifty people dispersed, some went to the distance, and in an instant, like a big octopus fully extending its tentacles, people were like ants, and they went to divide their labor.

In the distance, a flock of wintering birds flew up, and the Punics, who had already turned to the foot of the mountain, raised their hands, and the Ti Cavalry formed a formation, as if waiting for something to come.

Youti rode from a distance, still shouting something, and the next moment he was nailed to the ground by a flying feathered arrow.

Punic's eyes were cold, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

I've finally been fooled

When a field of men and horses in black suits with white scarves on their arms came out of the woods, Ti Cavalry charged.

The exchange of arrows caused the two sides to die before the handover, and then there was a tragic hand-to-hand combat.

Cao Baqi was still by Xie Shence's side, watching all this from the mountainside in the distance, his face changed from frivolous at the beginning to solemn, and then to heavy at the end.

Xie Shence watched it twice and didn't say anything, obviously he could already see that the Shandong horse bandits, who were still the people at the highest level, had a lot of misunderstandings about the combat effectiveness of the Tiqi and even the Xie family.

This is probably the result of the policy of fooling the people

Thinking like this, the battle over there has entered a white heat, and the Xie family's diehard loyalists are only tenacious and powerful, which seems to be beyond Punic's imagination, as he goes from commanding Ruoding to roaring in person, the contrast between them is so strong and the reversal is huge, in fact, it is beyond the scope of his psychological bearing.

It doesn't make sense

Punic thought so, and then realized that unreasonable things were happening in front of his eyes.

There is actually a backhand!

Another group of cavalry slowly walked out of the woods, not many in number, but only half a hundred, but once it appeared, it did completely tilt the balance of the already slightly tilted in one direction.

The cavalry began to rout.

It can't be said that the combat effectiveness of the Ti Cavalry is weak, but the battle here was unexpected, and the Punic made a bloody effort to attract the Xie family die-hard ones to attack to the greatest extent - he deliberately relaxed, so that when the Xie family die-hard ones appeared in front of the Ti Cai, a considerable number of the Ti Cavalry had the absurd psychology of "they actually came". This mentality doesn't start out with anything, but it boosts morale: they're coming, just in time for us to kill. However, once the war is stalemate, the negative effects of what was originally an inspiring mood are revealed.

Sure enough, they were prepared again, and we couldn't beat it

Then it expanded to ten or twenty people, and it turned into a rout.

"Watch the prisoners! Rush over! ”

Youti cavalry put the wheels of the prisoner cart on spikes, and the prisoner cart told to run, which is equivalent to a chariot, under this terrain, the chariot has a natural restraint on the cavalry, and the Xie family diehard loyalists can only watch the Punic and others escape after they have not been able to intercept the prisoner cart after more than a dozen horsemen died.

"You see, they're very strong, and it's doomed."

Xie Shence spread out his hands and said to King Li Yan and Xiao Wang.

Cao Baqi was a little puzzled, but when Xiao Wang and Li Yan were laughing slightly, Cao Baqi was unwilling to show his ignorance and confusion, so he had to endure and not ask. In fact, in this action, which he can use as an embellishment, because his status is not high, and he does not know enough details, in fact, he has no right to speak at this time.

Tiqi fled south, Xie Shence took out the piece of paper again, and pointed on it with a pencil: "Here, here, and here there will be preparations, tell them, the manpower must be ready, and those things, be foolproof, don't hurt your own people We can go now, go to the next place and wait"

This kind of conversation made Cao Baqi even more confused, and when they rushed to the next place and witnessed what happened, Cao Baqi began to have a great bad mood towards this "unpopular concubine" of the Yelu family.
