led the army, under the leadership of the sixth child, searching for the thieves hiding in the mountains, the further he went, the more Gan Ning felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Constantly turning his head to look at the mountains on both sides, Gan Ning's right hand was always pressed on the hilt of the long sword at his waist.

With a dignified face, Gan Ning didn't let the sixth child be called again.

He already had a vague sense that something was wrong.

has searched several places in a row, and even half of the thief has not been found, Gan Ning has a bad feeling.

If the thieves fled, it would not be possible for there to be half of them in the mountains and forests.

At least the thieves who have escaped can easily choose where they think they are safe to hide when there is no one to lead them.

The places that Lao Liu and the Han army searched were all good places where the thieves were hiding, but the Han army didn't even see half a figure.

Such a situation is really a bit contrary to common sense.

had already ordered the soldiers to beware of the sudden killing of thieves nearby, but Gan Ning was still vigilant in his heart.

Since joining the imperial court, he has not established any merits for the imperial court, if the first time he leads the army to exterminate the thieves, he will end up in disgrace, and it is really difficult to ask for war in front of Liu Wei in the future.

When it comes to the future and reputation, of course Gan Ning will not be careless!

The Han army walking in the mountains and forests has always been vigilant, and they have never found any trace of the thieves, but their every move has fallen into the eyes of many men on the mountain with green cloths on their heads.

A fight with the palace guards made these men lose their courage.

There were many Han troops under the mountain, and the men only hoped that the Han army would walk over quickly, and they didn't think about going down the mountain to fight.

They didn't think about going down the mountain to fight, and the few men who led them into the mountains didn't think so.

The Han army passed under the mountain, and they were not searched for along the way, and in the eyes of several men who led the crowd, this was the best time for them to attack the Han army and save the defeat.

Moreover, in their opinion, these Han troops under the mountain, although they were numerous, were just ordinary soldiers and horses, and they were incomparable with the guards who fought with them before.

A few leading men were right.

The Han army led by Gan Ning couldn't find them, and they were really a little anxious in their hearts, and the ordinary Han army and the palace guards were indeed incomparable in swordsmanship.

But they didn't know that even ordinary Han soldiers had rich experience in dealing with emergencies, and the Han army was well-equipped and trained far beyond their rabble.

The men who do not have an advantage in numbers, but only have a slight advantage in geography, once they launch an attack, it is impossible to have any chance of winning.

"Sue the brothers, and ask them to be ready to fight with the officers and soldiers!" Squatting in the bushes, looking down the mountain, the bearded elder brother said to the third child: "After I go down the mountain, I will kill the sixth child first!" This man was treacherous, and if he hadn't had some wisdom, he would have been driven down the mountain one morning. Now that we have been captured by the imperial court, we must have been sold! ”

"Good!" The third child answered and ran to convey the eldest brother's message to the men who were dormant on the mountain.

The men, who were less than a thousand people, heard that they were going to fight with the Han army, and they were all shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

The order has been given, and the men have no way to do it, so they have to prepare their swords and prepare to go down the mountain to fight.

The Han army under the mountain, under the leadership of the sixth child, was still searching for the traces of the thieves, and the continuous swooping made Gan Ning feel more and more uneasy.

"Stop!" Raising his hand to stop the procession, Gan Ning's gaze wandered around.

The mountains are stacked, and there is tranquility everywhere, the wind blows the trees on the mountain, and Gan Ning can even clearly hear the "rustle" of the shaking leaves.

The Han soldiers held their shields in their hands, and some of them even took off their crossbows.

They have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and they also feel a strong aura permeating the vicinity, which is unique to the atmosphere before the battle.

Every move of the Han army was watched by the men who were dormant on the mountain.

Looking at the Han army under the mountain, the third child whispered to the bearded elder brother: "Big brother, I always feel that something is wrong, it is better to let the imperial court soldiers and horses go over." There are too many of them......"

"Scared?" Turning his head and glancing at the third child, the bearded elder brother said: "Although they have a large number of people, we can attack them unprepared!" If we wait for a battle to win and recruit soldiers and horses along the way, we will one day be able to compete with the Han court! ”

The third child didn't say anything more.

He always felt that what his eldest brother said was a bit taken for granted.

The Han army fought in the south and in the north, for so many years, and suppressed countless heroes, the third child was very worried, dealing with such a large army, with their manpower, even if they suddenly attacked, they had a few chances of winning.

Nearly a thousand men held swords and silently looked at the Han army under the mountain.

The men were all very nervous.

The Han army was numerous and well-equipped, and if a single charge failed to kill them, once they launched a counterattack, the men would have no power to fight back.

"Sue sù brothers!" Squatting on the mountain, the bearded elder brother said to a few men beside him: "I'll kill the mountain, and we must succeed in the battle!" If the officers and soldiers resist the enemy, they will immediately retreat to the mountains! ”

A man answered and gave the order.

The Han army under the mountain had stopped, looking at the surrounding mountains one by one.

"Whoosh!" The Han soldiers heard the sound of arrows breaking through the wind, and a feathered arrow flew down from the mountain.

The first feathered arrow flew down, and then the Han soldiers saw countless feathered arrows flying out of the mountains and forests.

Lao Liu led them and did not search the mountains and forests here, there were thieves lurking on the mountains, and they didn't know it.

Feathered arrows suddenly flew out from the mountains and forests, and the soldiers of the Han army did not panic, and they immediately put their shields in front of them and lined up a tight shield array.

Lao Liu squatted behind a group of Han soldiers, listening to the "crackling" sound of arrows falling on the shield, and trembling with fear.

The thieves in the mountains and forests had obviously seen that he was guiding the Han army, squatting behind the Han army, dodging the arrows flying down from the mountain, and he only hoped that the Han army would not be scattered by the thieves.

Once the Han army is defeated, his little life will be completely over!

After the Han army, which was attacked by arrows, stabilized the array, some soldiers held shields in one hand and strong crossbows in the other, and shot powerful feathered arrows towards the mountains and forests where the arrows were flying.

The thieves hid in the mountains and forests, and most of the feathered arrows shot by the soldiers of the Han army were shot at the trees, and only a few of the thieves who were lurking in the mountains and forests were shot.

Arrayed in a relatively open place, the only thing the Han army could rely on was the shield in their hands.

Shields can cover the soldiers, but they can't cover their mounts.

Under the attack of the thieves' arrows, the horses with feathered arrows stuck in their bodies neighed in pain and fell.

The mounts were shot by the enemy, and the Han soldiers felt a faint pain in their hearts, but it was impossible to use their shields to shield the horses from arrows.

Perhaps the arrows were quickly used up, and the feathered arrows shot by the thieves on the mountain became more and more sparse, and gradually no more feathered arrows flew down.

The enemy's arrows stopped, and the Han soldiers did not stand up from behind their shields.

The other party stopped shooting the arrows and did not come down from the mountain, most likely to lead them to scatter before launching a new attack.

Squatting in the array, Gan waited quietly.

After a while, without waiting for the arrows shot by the thieves on the mountain, he waved his hand behind him and gave an order to the soldiers: "Five hundred people go up the mountain, and the rest wait at the bottom of the mountain!" ”

The reason why he sent 500 people up the mountain was because Gan Ning also had his considerations.

The thieves were not many, and after a previous battle, they probably didn't even have a thousand.

If the Han army went up the mountain in all directions, they were likely to flee in all directions, and once the thieves scattered and fled into the depths of the mountains and forests, it would be extremely difficult to find them.

Sending 500 soldiers and horses, the thieves may think that the Han army is small, and take advantage of the fact that the army has not gone up the mountain to suddenly attack.

Gan Ning's expectation was to guess the mind of the bearded brother.

Five hundred Han soldiers held shields and slowly advanced towards the mountains and forests in a neat formation, and the bearded elder brother on the mountain saw it, and said to a few men beside him: "The official army is really big, the army is at the bottom of the mountain, but only such a few people are sent to the mountain immediately." We can take advantage of the situation to kill them, scatter them, and boost the morale of the brothers! ”

There were few Han soldiers going up the mountain, and the men who were dormant in the mountains and forests were much less nervous than before when they saw them advancing towards the mountain.

Fighting with Liu Wei's guards, they suffered great losses, and many people were killed.

Those guards all have superb swordsmanship, and the men on the mountain don't believe that in the entire Han army, the soldiers will have such good swordsmanship.

The most confident thing for the men is the Pu knife in the hands of the Han army who went up the mountain.

They didn't make swords, but let the men feel that this battle had a little chance of winning, after all, they were dormant in the mountains and forests, launching a surprise attack on the Han army!

Some men took advantage of the Han army to go up the mountain, and ran to the big tree one after another, and jumped up with the trunk in their arms.

The men who went up the tree were all clutching the blades in their hands and quietly waiting for the Han army to go up the mountain.

The Han army, which was advancing towards the mountain, reached the foot of the mountain, and the formation dispersed, and advanced towards the mountain in a straggler sequence.

"General, we have few soldiers, and thieves are dormant in the mountains and forests, and the soldiers are afraid that they will suffer!" Looking at the soldiers of the Han army who were going up the mountain, a partial general squatting behind Gan Ning reminded him in a whisper.

"I'm going to exterminate all the thieves!" Following the five hundred Han soldiers, Gan Ning whispered to the general: "If the whole army goes up the mountain, the thieves will not dare to fight." It should not be difficult for 500 soldiers to entangle them. At that time, our army will go up the mountain in one fell swoop, and we will definitely be able to exterminate this group of thieves! ”

The partial general did not say anything, with the combat strength of the Han army, it is indeed not difficult for 500 people to entangle the thieves on the mountain.

If it weren't for the complex terrain, it would be more than enough to exterminate a thousand thieves with 500 Han troops, and the only reason why he felt worried was the complicated terrain!
