Chapter 68: The Valley Ambush
When Xu Bin led the Xu family army and the reinforcements from Baijiazhai to wait for Jin Muhao's bandit army to arrive, the people of Juxiang City, who seemed to feel the bandit storm, were also extremely nervous. Some young unmarried and married women have taken refuge in the city or in the homes of relatives in relative seclusion.
It was also learned that when the bandits led by the lone wolf village numbered nearly 1,000 people this time, the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion of Juxiang City also canceled their vacations and squatted at the four gates of the city wall. I am afraid that these bandits who swept in will enter the city and cause trouble. You must know that the incident of bandits attacking the city has not happened in recent years.
In order to prevent this kind of disaster from happening, the officials of Orange City, led by Zhu Sanzhi, were as strict as Xu Bin this time. I am afraid that these bandits, who are mostly active near White Lotus City, will come to harass the people around Orange City. Even in Baofeng Town, where Heifeng Village is located, some large and small landlords have gone into the city to take refuge.
In any case, the city protected by officers and soldiers in these years was much safer than their compound and the countryside. As these people and rich people entered the city one after another, the orange city became difficult to find. Countless people watching this bandit war secretly hoped that all the two sides of the crossfire would die. It's just that the people who have benefited from Xu Jiajun silently pray in their hearts that Xu Jiajun will win this battle.
Maybe it was because he knew that the news had leaked, and after a friendly army from Zuihou arrived at the lone wolf village, Jin Muhao also generously promised that he would not take a penny from the Black Wind Village, and all the property and prisoners obtained would be handed over to these friendly soldiers for disposal. As long as he is the same, it is Xu Bin's head. He hoped that with this generous expression, these friendly forces would be able to contribute more to this operation.
After all, as long as these friendly soldiers died in this battle, he would have a way to get back the money they had gotten back when he returned.
For Jin Muhao, this attack on Heifeng Village to avenge his family is the primary purpose, but the other purpose is the millions of wealth his family has stored. This is what their Jin family has been saving for decades, and if they don't get Jin Muhao back, they will undoubtedly be unwilling.
I just want to find someone to work for me, and I always have to give some money. Therefore, when contacting these friendly forces, Jin Muhao deliberately asked his subordinates to release the news, that is, Xu Bin led people to loot millions of Long Yang in the Jin family. With such a big piece of fat, these guys who can't afford to make profits can participate in his joint actions so actively.
In order not to cause infighting, Jin Muhao pretended to be generous and stated in advance, that is, he didn't want the money. All he had to do was avenge his father and his family, so as to dispel the bandits' concerns. After all, saying these words in front of so many people, these bandits who united were not afraid that Jin Muhao would regret it when the time came.
After having breakfast in the lone wolf village, the army of bandits with more than 1,000 people did not know how to restrain at all, and came straight to the Black Wind Village. The people along the way were scared half to death, but fortunately, such people were counting on robbing the millions of Longyang in Heifeng Village, and they didn't want to waste time by robbing these poor people as pants. Therefore, these bandits who hung Eryangdang still rushed to the direction of Junfeng Mountain in an orderly manner.
Such an army went from village to village, and did not hide its intention to attack at all, undoubtedly relying on their outnumbered strength. Even when they arrived in Orange City, the bandits who often operated near White Lotus City looked at the nervous officers and soldiers at the head of the city, and they shot provocatively and arrogantly. If it weren't for the fact that these bandits were just provoking, it is estimated that the city defense battalion would have shot back long ago when they saw this plane.
As the army of bandits passed under the nose of the city defense battalion, Zhu Sandao, the commander of the city defense battalion, who learned that the Xu family army of Heifeng Village had robbed a million fortunes in the Jin family, was still very moved. It's just that he knows that in this case, it is impossible to profit from the hundreds of soldiers in his city defense battalion alone.
What he can do is to wait for these bandits to fight to the death with Heifeng Village, and see if he can be a fisherman of Zuihou. For this reason, soon after the bandit army left the city gate, he sent his henchmen and officers, changed into civilian clothes and followed behind the bandit army, and reported the battle between the two sides at any time.
Once there is a chance to take advantage of the fire, for the wealth of the million Long Yang, Zhu Sandao will also use his current net worth to gamble. After all, he can become the commander of this city defense battalion, in addition to having some connections in the army, the most important thing is that he also pays a lot of bribes to his commanders every year. If you can get this million fortune, maybe it's very possible to change the head of the security regiment to do it!
A battle touched the nerves of all parties in Juxiang City, but after learning that the bandit army set off from Jinzhu Town, Xu Bin immediately led Wang Erscar's first company, Li Chengbing's second company, two veteran companies with a platoon of recruits, and more than 50 people led by Zhong Shan, who did not want to be the defenders, a total of more than 100 people. They came to the valley where the official army had ambushed them, dug up bunkers and waited for the arrival of the bandit army.
In order to give these bandits a dismount, Xu Bin also deliberately made several extra-large explosive barrels and buried them on both sides of the road in the valley, and when the bandit army entered the valley, these bomb barrels filled with rusty iron nails and iron pieces would make those bandits understand what hell on earth is.
With the spies arranged everywhere one by one, panting and gathering the location of the bandit army, the first outpost bandit force of 100 people has entered the ambush circle planted by Xu Bin. For the bandits who had never thought that they would be ambushed, Xu Bin resolutely ordered them to be let through the valley.
Perhaps it was because they saw the first hundred-man team pass through the valley safely, and the large army of bandits who followed unhurriedly behind them never thought that there was an ambush in this valley.
Even some bandits, who were tired from the journey, began to sit on the ground in the valley and rest, but they never thought that behind their backs and under their buttocks, they had buried nightmares that they would never forget.
Seeing that there were more and more bandits gathered in the valley, and when people joined from time to time, Xu Bin, who was worried about the long night, immediately gestured to a few soldiers who lit fires. As the soldiers lit the fuse and quickly lay down into the haode pit dug in advance, it didn't take long for the bandits to rest and began to feel the smell of the fuse drifting in the air.
Just as they shouted 'there may be an ambush,' some of the cowardly bandits immediately lay on their stomachs and looked around, but they didn't see anyone shooting at them. Just when they thought that the gang was making a fuss, they felt that a fierce beast gushed out of the originally calm mound on the side of the mountain road, making an earth-shattering sound, tearing all the nearby bandits to pieces.
The explosions one after another suddenly frightened the bandits resting in the valley. Only the lone wolf village bandits who entered the valley were largely spared because they had not yet entered the valley. As the surviving bandits searched for their enemies, a fresh breeze blew through the valley, and the smoky valley became much clearer.
Looking at the shattered and scarred by the bombing, and falling to the ground and wailing, the bandits who came in a hurry finally realized that they were afraid. Moreover, the bandits who shot indiscriminately just now, when they realized that it was their own gang that shot just now, also knew that they must have been attacked by an ambush set up by a small group of bandits in Heifeng Village.
And the smell of smoke and gunpowder that some people smell is probably the smell produced by those sneak attack bandits who lit the fuse. Because there were few people, they had already fled when they were in chaos just now. It's just that no one would have thought that Xu Bin would give them a fatal blow when they felt safe.
Zhong Shan, who fought with Xu Bin for the first time, had been in a hurry to take advantage of the chaos to give these people a beating when it exploded just now, but was stopped by Xu Bin. He thought that Xu Bin didn't even understand the principle of striking while the iron was hot, but looking at these bandits who shot indiscriminately and saw that no one was ambushing, and began to relax their vigilance, he finally understood what Xu Bin's idea was.
Compared to their bandits, there are many people and they are fierce, and the young uncle in front of him is indeed worthy of the admiration of an old leader like him in terms of fighting!
Kaneki Hao, who also thought he should have run into an ambush, saw that the guns had been fired for a long time, and none of them had been shot down from the hillsides on both sides. I also thought that those sneak attacks had already run out. In order to appease these friendly troops and continue to advance, he hurriedly sent out the bandits who were lucky enough to escape to rescue these friendly troops.
Just as the hundreds of people were in formation and ready to continue on the road, several company and platoon commanders who commanded the operation saw Xu Bin raise the rifle that had been by his side. According to the previous regulations, that is, Xu Bin's shooting means that the battle has begun.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Xu family's army, who had been lying in the trench just now, also stretched out their guns one after another, aiming at the bandits in a valley, and their ears were pricked up to listen to the gunshots. As soon as the shots rang out, they killed the bandits framed in the crosshairs. The first shot hit is Xu Bin's requirement for every soldier of the Xu family's army, and no one wants to be strained at such a time.
As Xu Bin aimed the crosshair at the bandit leader riding on a horse, pulled the trigger, and the man spurted blood from his forehead and died under the horse. The soldiers of the Xu family, who had been waiting for a long time, and the elites of Baijiazhai who served as reinforcements, shot one after another. For a while, the army of bandits who had just calmed down fell like rice in the sound of this gunshot.
In the face of this fierce gunshot, Jin Muhao, who felt that Black Wind Village was not easy to fight before he came, was very glad that he did not attack Black Wind Village alone. Otherwise, just the hundreds of people in his cottage are estimated to be almost lost in this valley alone. Looking at the situation in front of him, his revenge is not easy to revenge!
