Chapter 7: Ambush
The Cold Mountain Thieves started out as just a bunch of outcasts. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The border passes have been impacted, and many small villages and small tribes living on the border will be displaced by the sweep of the border steppe peoples. These young and middle-aged people who escaped and survived, without a livelihood to survive, went into the mountains and forests and became bandits.
It's not just border people, there are deserters and criminals who have made mistakes.
Lu Yan, the owner of the village here, was an officer who escaped with equipment more than 20 years ago because he accidentally killed someone in the border city.
Lieutenant level, this ability is enough to be a school captain. The official position of the Xia army, the general has four generals under him, and these four generals manage nineteen troops.
Among them, Qin Kong is one of the four generals, and he manages the Border Legion under his command, as well as his elite legion, the Fire Phoenix Army.
Captains, in a legion, there are only fifteen or sixteen at most, one partial general leads two captains, and the legion under General Qin Lao is only six or seven partial generals. To be able to do the position of lieutenant is not low!
It is said that thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is difficult to find.
In this world, there are really not many people who can cultivate the exercises to the general level, and they are all famous guys. In the case that the king level can be used as a protector general, there are less than ten in the world. Not all of them are in the military.
The number of lieutenants can completely influence a local war.
Lu Yan served as a soldier and a captain. It's not a rookie who hasn't participated in a war. As early as when Qin Yu stepped into the Baili Forest and marched towards here, the secret sentinel arranged in the forest sent back the news.
It's not that Qin Yu's scouts are too weak, but that Lu Yan has been here for more than ten years, and he has long had the experience and ability to avoid detection. In terms of being familiar with the environment of Baililin, no one can compare to this guy.
Therefore, Lu Yan also set up a trap on the side of the stockade half a day in advance, and waited for Qin Yu to step in.
And this Qin Yu is indeed a rookie on the march, not only that, but he is also a stunned young man. Just led the army directly to the front of the stockade, and set up a position to have a fight with Lu Yan.
Listening to Qin Yu calling not far outside the village. Lu Yan was almost happy in his heart.
A group of little ladies came out to learn how men to fight? In addition to equipment, they didn't even have the posture to fight. It's just hilarious.
The stockade itself is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with a long and narrow road up the mountain, but if the army wants to attack from here, it will not be able to walk in front of the door of the stockade without dying for a third. However, Lu Yan had other ideas at this time.
This time, it's all women!
The village, where it is usually difficult to see even a female fly, now more than 300 women have come, standing outside the village and shouting. This is simply sending welfare and warmth to the bandits in the village.
Lu Yan's eyes were glowing green, and they stared at the woman under the village in a daze, and they almost asked Lu Yan to let themselves come forward and grab a few first!
"Dazhai master, these are all women! Don't let the brothers be ruthless, if you break any of them, I will be heartbroken!" Bo Luan, the second village master, shouted, and his saliva was going to stay.
"Special mother, you can't give Lao Tzu a little bit of interest. Lu Yan scolded with a smile, "If you don't beat this group of chicks first, how can you go up and arrest people." ”
Lu Yan thought for a while, then waved his hand, and led more than 300 people with the second and third village masters around him, almost pouring out of the village, and directly lined up outside the cottage. looked at Qin Yu's Feng Wujun condescendingly.
"Yo he, I said how come there are magpies screaming at Lao Tzu this morning! This turned out to be the brothers of the Fire Phoenix Army to send us warmth? Ouch, I know that this is almost the beginning of the Yuan Festival, send so many mothers-in-law, hey, brothers, it is a big day recently, the following group of girls, whoever grabs it can be the groom tonight, but don't be polite, hahahaha!"
The master of Sanzhai opened his mouth first and laughed loudly.
The bandits under his command all laughed loudly. Said to be a bandit, this side of the road robbery can not meet a few women, weekdays than the monk is more bitter, now see so many girls, the bandits are really like open meat, hormones greatly increased, one or two are also like a bull in heat, the eyes have never left the Feng Wujun under the slope of the village.
"Bastard!" Qin Yuqi's forehead was bruised, and his eyes were burning as he looked at the arrogant cold mountain thieves on the slope, "If you are still a man, don't shake your mouth, there is a real knife and a real gun to fight!"
Lu Yan's eyes were picky, he didn't take Qin Yu's anger to heart at all, in his eyes, this group of rookie female soldiers was completely a piece of vegetables under his hands, wanting to stew and stew, and want to braise and braise it.
He glanced at the second and third masters, and the three of them already had a tacit understanding. Seeing that the people under his hands were also impatient, they didn't want to delay any more time.
Lu Yan waved his hand, and a team of subordinates immediately appeared from the top of the stockade, carrying a large bucket for every two people, and before Qin Yu could see what the other party was going to do, these wooden barrels were pushed down from the mountain.
"Alert!" Qin Yu frowned, letting the armored cavalry line up, charging up from the bottom of the slope This kind of idiotic thing, Qin Yu can't do it, but now it's at the foot of the mountain, and the other party directly threw the barrel, but he didn't know what the intention was.
However, the speed of the barrel was not satisfied, Qin Yu didn't have time to think about it, he directly held the gun and picked it up, and the barrel that rolled down was a heavy stab, and the armored cavalry around him also learned Qin Yu's movements, and wanted to break these barrels that rolled down in one fell swoop.
"Hit!" Lu Yan smiled.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the wooden barrel was punctured, I don't know what kind of smoke and dust it was filled with, and it came out directly with a foul smell and a spicy smell.
The smell was terrible, but it wasn't for martial artists. As long as you keep your mouth shut and hold your breath, any warrior can bear it. But the war horses are different, with a bad smell rushed directly into the nose and eyes of the war horses, these war horses are just animals, where can they stand this smell, one or two are making a fuss, and in an instant, Qin Yu's good team has been stirred up.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Lu Yanna was willing to stand on the mountain and wait. Greeted directly, a group of people covered their faces with wet cloths, screamed, and rushed down from the mountain excitedly.
Qin Yu's brows furrowed, and his face was ugly. Now most of the horses are out of control, running wildly, and there is no possibility of facing the enemy at all. She could only shout, "Get off your horse, get off your horse!"
The female soldiers of the Fengwu Army have been training all year round, and they still have a full effect. Under this chaos, the female soldiers can also quickly dismount and assemble, retreat and line up, even if they are a little panicked, but they can also line up when the bandits rush to a few meters in front of them.
Qin Yu drew his gun and stood up, shouting: "Meet the enemy!"
The female soldiers around them all shouted, "Kill!"
They stabbed the long soldiers in their hands, as if they had set up a rejection horse in front of the bandits, and directly connected with the bandits.
The bandits have been robbing homes for many years, and they have not encountered military formations. Although this kind of hedgehog-like formation is difficult to break, it is also a large charge, and there are many people.
With such a small team, the bandits have no fear at all. They rushed to the front, not paying any attention to the rules and formations of the battle with you, and when they took it out of their pockets, they immediately spilled a handful of lime powder.
A female soldier who has not gained a firm foothold in herself, where has she really encountered such a fighting team. Before the fight started, throw the powder first to disturb the horses. Then when they got closer, they threw lime!
The female soldiers in the front row closed their eyes almost irrepressibly.
When he closed his eyes during the battle, the result can be imagined, the bandits screamed, and they pounced directly in excitement, and took down the female soldiers. Reach out and knock on the back of your head, and you will knock one out.
They were reluctant to kill these women. If it weren't for Lu Yan's village master who said the rules when he came down, I'm afraid that someone would have returned to the village directly with the stunned woman now, and then talk about it first!
Qin Yu grew up in the barracks and was well protected. I've never seen such a battle in my life, such a depraved fight, such a despicable and shameless way of fighting! Her hair was about to explode in anger, but the other party didn't let her go.
Lu Yan almost immediately fought with a saber.
Qin Yu's spear body shook, and the head of the spear was like a python, cutting a bend in the air, directly facing Lu Yan's saber.
"Phew!"
The guns and knives collided, Lu Yan took a few steps back in surprise and laughed: "Little Niangpi has a lot of strength! Come on, come on, let my brother accompany you to have a few hands!"
Saying that, Lu Yan pounced again, this old ruffian has long been ignorant of this and that rule, and he screamed foully. staring at Qin Yu's chest and thighs, after every few moves, he had to throw out a hidden weapon, either at Qin Yu's chest or at his waist and abdomen. It's a despicable no-language table.
If it weren't for Qin Yu to hold back her anger, I'm afraid she really couldn't help but burst out and stab Lu Yan in pair.
At the beginning, even if he had never been on the battlefield, the idea that he could deal with bandits without a problem had long been thrown away by Qin Yu. The difference between those who have seen blood and those who have not seen blood is too big. The female soldiers under his command have been in chaos for half a day, and more than 30 people have been knocked down or taken away, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
The longer Qin Yu fought, the darker his face became.
She let out a low roar, "Retreat!"
If you continue to fight in front of you, the outcome is really unpredictable!
Under this order, the female soldiers retreated. The archers in charge of the broken rear were revealed, and the direct two-stage shots blocked the way of the descending bandits. Only then did he retreat towards Baili Lin with the large army.
Lu Yan had long known that there would be such a result, he smiled contemptuously, and waved his hand at the team, "Leave fifty people to clean up the battlefield and bring the war horses and women back!
With that, the group of people rushed out directly. Some of the old bandits who were injured or no longer young consciously stayed. One by one, two grinning men, with women and horses, began to return towards the mountain.
It was not easy to calm down the horses who had been disturbed by the irritating powder. Fortunately, the bandits have long had experience, and it is not difficult to deal with this problem. They took out jugs of water, stirred up some herbs, and wiped the horses' noses and eyes, and in a few moments the horses were quiet.
A group of thieves pacified the horses, put more than 30 captured female soldiers on their horses, and walked towards the top of the stockade with a smile. This harvest is not small, the war horse alone is a lot of money, these female soldiers can play and sell, in short, there are many benefits. Even some of the bandits couldn't wait to go back to the village, so they led the horses directly and moved at the female soldiers.
The bandits had not yet finished their journey when they heard the sound of horses running from under the stockade. When he looked back in astonishment, he found a hundred-man cavalry team, charging directly towards it from the foot of the Zhaizi Mountain.
Dozens of bandits didn't react, where did this team come from, and they saw a group of knights on horseback, but at the same time, they raised their crossbows and pointed directly at their group of bandits.
"Whoosh!
There was no time for the bandits to react, and the crossbows were shot out at the same time, all of them accurately. This group of knights is simply elite soldiers who are proficient in riding and archery.
The egret rode on horseback and ran at the front of the line, and it was he who gave the order to shoot. The egret took Qin Yu's men with the best riding skills, and at the same time, a group of cavalry who were the most proficient in riding and archery, and rushed out like a whirlwind. The bandits were not given any time to prepare, like a group of ghosts.
He led the team and wrapped a thick layer of cotton cloth around the soles of the horses' feet, most of which were bandages used for emergency treatment, although not as strong and silent as expected, but it was enough to cover up the movement with a short run.
The sudden attack, coupled with the fact that the main force of the other party had already gone to pursue Qin Yu's large army that had "fled in a hurry", what remained in the stockade was nothing more than some old, weak, sick and disabled people with low combat ability.
Within a while, the egret rushed into the stockade with the cavalry team, commanded the cavalry in three or two clicks, cleaned up the bandits in the stockade, and even half of the bandits were not released.
"Clear the battlefield!" pacify the horses!" the egret shouted, "Before those bandits come back from a rout, be sure to prepare their bows and arrows!"
The cavalry captain in this team hesitated for a moment, but still asked the egret, "There are dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled captives here. Sir, how is this going to be done?"
The egret rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Do you have subordinates to watch or are you in the mood to keep them for the New Year?"
The cavalry captain was stunned, not understanding what the egret meant.
The egret sighed, directly pulled out the Soul Eater Knife, and slashed at the kneeling captive on the side, and the knife fell and flew in an instant.
"Do it!" Egret shouted, startling the stunned female soldiers around him, two female soldiers were frightened by the egret subconsciously raised their hands and shot out of the crossbow, directly shooting two of them.
See this. The cavalry captain also lost his temper, and immediately waved his hand, and the female soldiers under his hand were stunned for a moment, and then did not hesitate, and shot directly at the captives who had no power to resist, and after a while, the stockade was already bleeding.
"Now, go to the gate with a bow!" Egret continued to command, "When you see blood, don't act like a weak chicken, don't look at you on the battlefield to see if you are a girl!"
The female soldiers looked at the egret with some anger, but they still obeyed the command.
In other words, half a day ago, Qin Yu's entire Fengwu Army had already obeyed the command of the white egret. This battle, including Qin Yu's retreat, was also in Bailu's arrangement.
Otherwise, do you really think that a three-star thief can fight against Qin Yu, who is a six-star captain?
"Everything is ready! It's up to Qin Yu to see the results of the battle!" Bai Egret thought.
