Chapter 61: The Battle of Qingzhu Valley (Second Shift)

Ye Zheng led the thirty rookie pistols who had just learned to shoot, all of them hid in a bamboo forest next to the road, silently calculating the time that was gradually evaporating in their hearts, and they felt like they were living like years.

Half an hour passed......

An hour passed......

Finally, in the mountain road in front of Qingzhu Valley, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and after a while, several officers and soldiers wearing leather armor appeared at the entrance of Qingzhu Valley, looking at their uniforms and equipment, it seemed that they were scouts sent out to explore the way among the officers and soldiers.

At this time, a leading scout soldier looked around with a puzzled face, and frowned: "Didn't the Black Dragon Village say that it sent someone to meet us here and lead the way for us? Why didn't anyone show ......up?"

Ye Zheng saw that officers and soldiers suddenly appeared at the entrance of Qingzhu Valley, and suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, because those scouts were only dozens of steps away from the place where the mines were planted at this time, and if they probed further, they would definitely step on the mines. At that time, the violent sound of the explosion will definitely arouse the vigilance of the officers and soldiers behind.

At that moment, he clenched his fists nervously, and secretly prayed in his heart that the scouts would not enter the minefield, otherwise, he would have buried all the mines all morning.

Fortunately, what Ye Zheng was most worried about did not happen, and the scouts stopped at the entrance of Qingzhu Valley for a while, looked around, and then turned around and left.

After seeing the scouts of the officers and soldiers riding away, Ye Zheng breathed a deep sigh of relief, opened his palms, and found that there was sweat inside. Fortunately, the scouts just now didn't go any further, otherwise, Ye Zheng would have had to take out his gun and kill them.

After the scouts left, about half an hour later, finally, the large army of officers and soldiers of Dahe County began to slowly approach Qingzhu Valley.

Ye Zheng looked at the thousands of officers and soldiers from a distance, and under the leadership of dozens of cavalry, he came to the entrance of Qingzhu Valley, only to see that those officers and soldiers were all wearing cyan leather armor, holding swords and guns and other weapons and equipment. The dozens of cavalry officers and soldiers who led the way, carrying strong bows and steel knives, were sturdy and had quite strong expressions. Followed by the cavalry was a group of infantry, all of whom held equipment weapons in their hands, or spears or spears, or knives or shields, the types were very complete, and the materials of the equipment were also relatively sophisticated, at least, much stronger than the preparation of the mountain bandits in Feifengzhai.

Because the terrain of Qingzhu Valley is relatively open, so after the group of officers and soldiers entered this place, the original team of two people in parallel was changed to several people marching side by side, at this time, Ye Zheng suddenly found that in the middle of the team of officers and soldiers, there were more than a dozen elite soldiers wearing high-quality armor, surrounded by a tall horse, and the person sitting on the horse was the leader of this group of officers and soldiers, the garrison captain of Dahe County.

Look at the captain who is about forty years old, fat and bloated, wearing a set of willow leaf armor, holding a heavy saber in his hand, the saber is seven feet long, and the estimated weight must be at least forty catties or more, obviously this guy's third-level samurai strength is not in vain, but still has some ability, otherwise an ordinary person, who would choose such a heavy saber as a weapon, and looking at the appearance of this guy holding a saber, it looks very relaxed, as if he just held a wooden stick in his hand.

Seeing that those officers and soldiers were about to enter the ambush point arranged by Ye Zheng, all of a sudden, the people who were ambushed on both sides of the valley were nervous and excited in their hearts, and they didn't dare to make a single move.

At this time, Ye Zheng squinted his eyes and silently calculated the distance of the officers and soldiers entering the minefield, preparing that as soon as the leading officers and soldiers touched the mines, he would give an order and attack with all his might.

50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters......

Finally, dozens of leading cavalry entered the minefield, but at this moment, one of the cavalrymen walking in front stepped on the mine.

"Boom ......"

At the same time, the steel balls shot out after the explosion of the mine fanned forward at a 60-degree angle, hitting the cavalry who were following closely behind.

Although there were still many cavalrymen who were not harmed or affected, the horses under their crotches were frightened by the explosion, and they neighed and raised their front hooves and stood up, and all the officers and soldiers on their backs were thrown off their horses in a frenzy.

All the horses, whether injured or uninjured, ran in all directions out of control, and suddenly, many officers and soldiers who fell to the ground, whose bones were broken and trampled by the horses who fled frantically in the chaos, vomited blood, and some who were unlucky were directly kicked by the horses and burst their heads, and died tragically on the spot. For a time, the officers and men who had already entered the minefield in front were stunned by the sudden explosion, and they were all confused and did not know what was going on.

Not only were the officers and soldiers stunned by the powerful mines, but even the people in Feifeng Village who were ambushed on both sides of the valley were shocked by the scene in front of them, they never thought that the iron camels buried in the ground by Ye Zheng were so terrifying, every time the booming explosion sounded, there were a large number of people on the side of the officers and soldiers, screaming and wailing and falling to the ground injured.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were filled with shock! What the hell is this Ye Zhai master doing? Why is the firearm he takes out so terrifying every time!

Facing the horror of everyone, Ye Zheng quietly ordered loudly: "Brothers, call me!"

After hearing Ye Zheng's shouting order, the brothers who were ambushed on both sides of the valley reacted, and suddenly, arrows and bamboo spears were shot towards the camp of the officers and soldiers like raindrops.

It wasn't until this moment that those officers and soldiers reacted, they were ambushed by the mountain bandits in Feifeng Village!

As a result, those chaotic officers and soldiers, under the shouting order of the captain of the school, raised their shields one after another, retreated together, and formed a shield formation to defend and counterattack, but because of the mines just planted by Ye Zheng, the psychological deterrence caused to those officers and soldiers was too great, causing them to have palpitations at the moment, and they were afraid.

The people of Feifeng Village who were ambushed on both sides of the valley, after several rounds of arrows and bamboo guns in a row, because the officers and soldiers had formed a shield to defend, gradually, their projectiles were difficult to cause great damage to the officers and soldiers, and at the same time, the bamboo guns and arrows they prepared were almost completely consumed in this array of attacks.

At this moment, the officer and soldier lieutenant seemed to have sensed that the opponent's attack was weakening, and at that moment he shouted a reminder and ordered his officers and men to start hiding in the shield array and shoot arrows with a strong bow to counterattack.

I have to say that the strong bow in the hands of the officers and soldiers is indeed much more powerful than the earthen bows and arrows in the hands of everyone in Feifeng Village, and it also shoots far and strongly. And at this time, the officers and soldiers seemed to have figured out where the opponent was hiding, and they were led by some samurai with good strength, holding shields, and killing on both sides of the valley while taking cover.

At this time, Niu Sanyan and the others, who were hiding in the mountains, finally began to make a move.
