On the cliff to the west of the valley, a thick long rope is hanging down the rock wall, and more than a dozen black spots are climbing down, and dozens of people have successfully descended to the bottom of the valley under the rope.

Wang Yong stood in the barren grass under the cliff, looked at the twilight sky, and anxiously urged: "Hurry up, you can't act as soon as the morning dawns, don't bother." ”

A personal guard Baihu whispered beside him: "Lord Qianhu, the fire on the cliff in the east was dazzling not long ago, I don't know if Lord Song is progressing smoothly." ”

Wang Yong frowned and said: "With the ability of adults, there will be no mistakes, but there are too few people brought by adults, and we are the main force." ”

Several hundred households nodded silently, Wang Yong actually knew that Lord Song had distributed such a huge disparity in manpower, and he probably planned to create a movement to attract the attention of the thieves once he was discovered by the thieves, and cover the team in the west to go down the cliff. Although Wang Qianhu didn't say it clearly, the fire and movement on the mountain in the east were very likely to be Lord Song's whereabouts and he simply made a fuss.

In fact, he and others were able to find the rope down the cliff wall, but also thanks to the movement from the east, there were originally two secret posts of thieves near the cliff, because of the fire in the east, the secret sentries looked around, and they were peeped by the officers and soldiers, and they were able to quietly touch them and strangled them instantly, otherwise it would be difficult to arrive in concealment.

……

Beyond the valley, on the slopes, in the dawn light, dense black shadows gathered on the narrow slopes of the potholes and in the small clearing in front of the valley.

Jiang Bin and Xu Tai met outside the valley last night, and more than 10,000 people gathered in this snowy and rocky place outside the valley, unable to organize the formation at all, and looked a little chaotic.

Jiang Bin crossed his waist and draped in a black coat, stood on a rock, and two guards behind him carried Jiang Bin's long-handled machete. Jiang Bin frowned, looking up at the gate of the tall valley in the morning mist, the white mist on the mountain beams formed by the natural connection, he couldn't see the arrangement of the thieves above, and the door hole below was tightly closed by two huge gates, and the mountain in front of the door could only be more than ten people in parallel.

"His grandmother's, the thieves can find such a good place, how the hell can they attack?" Jiang Bin scolded.

Xu Tai said with a relaxed face: "Brother Jiang, the people of the Metropolitan Governor have already infiltrated the camp, as long as there is chaos in the camp, it will not be difficult to break through." ”

Jiang Bin glanced at Xu Tai and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm angry when I talk about this, Xu Tai, how can you let the Metropolitan Governor personally go to the danger?" If you don't want to go, you can also order other generals to lead the team, and you should shrink your head and become a grandson; If the Metropolitan Governor has three long and two short, I will chop you alive. ”

Xu Tai said aggrievedly: "You think about it, you don't know the style of the Metropolitan Governor, since the day the Metropolitan Governor took people to check on the attacked squad of soldiers, he decided to leave the brigade and walk; I ordered hundreds of soldiers to follow and support, but I was sent back by most of them, saying that the goal was too big. In fact, if it weren't for the Metropolitan Governor leading the team, we wouldn't have known that the thieves would be hiding in this valley, let alone that the whereabouts of the army were under the watchful eye of the thieves. ”

Jiang Bin rolled his eyes and said: "Having said that, the Metropolitan Governor is the boss after all, and it is taboo for the boss to be in danger; Don't forget, your old permission was recommended by me Jiang Bin to the Governor of the Metropolis, if it weren't for the decades of friendship between the two of us, how would I recommend you to be used by the Governor, this time the success of the thief is obviously a great merit is about to come, don't be ungrateful. ”

Xu Tai hurriedly said: "Where is this, you don't know what I Xu Tai is like?" Of course, I know that this is an opportunity, in fact, along the way to follow the Metropolitan Governor to suppress the thieves, I have thrown myself to the ground for the five bodies that the Metropolitan Governor has admired. In the past, you talked to me about how the Metropolitan Governor was, but I didn't think it was true in my heart, but now I am truly convinced. ”

Jiang Bin snorted and said: "You just understand, you don't want to slander me Lao Jiang for not being productive, in short, I decided to follow the metropolitan governor for the rest of my life, no one has a big ability, it's not okay to be unconvinced, I don't want to guard the border town for the rest of my life, are you Xu Tai willing to stay in Xuanfu for the rest of your life?" ”

Xu Tai said in a low voice: "Brother, did the Metropolitan Governor give you a thorough understanding?" ”

Jiang Bin said: "Don't talk about these useless things first, take down this last thief's den, and ensure that the governor of the capital is safe and sound, otherwise don't say that you will be promoted and make a fortune, I am afraid that you will have to be punished." ”

Xu Tai glared and nodded.

……

Wang Yong led 80 guards to the bottom of the cliff, and after bypassing a large pile of dead trees and wild grass, his eyes suddenly opened up, and the vast snow-white valley stretched forward, and the bonfire torches flickered a few miles away, where the camp of the thieves was.

Wang Yong waved his hand, and the group quickly advanced towards the camp of thieves, and soon arrived at the west side of the camp. The sky was already bright, and everyone crouched behind the snow mounds and did not dare to show their heads, waiting for Wang Yong's order.

Wang Yong frowned and looked at the camp of thieves in front of him, seeing that although the thieves were busy, they were not disorderly, and he didn't hear any fighting, obviously the other team led by Song Nan did not enter the camp; But looking at the sky, although it is gloomy weather, it can no longer wait.

Wang Yong turned around and whispered to the two guards: "Quietly climb to the wooden fence and make a gap in the fence so that we can rush in." ”

The two guards obeyed the order, lying on the snow and crawling forward, crawling slowly like a worm to the fence, the thieves in the camp were never aware of it, and when they saw that the two soldiers were only more than ten zhang away from the wooden fence of the camp, suddenly the snow and fog were churning, and the two guards disappeared in an instant.

Everyone opened their mouths, Wang Yong scolded a few words angrily, personally went out of the horse, and crawled all the way with the two guards to the place where the two guards disappeared, and the scene in front of them made people almost vomit, only to see the two guards lying in the collapsed snow bottom trench, pierced by a few sharp wooden stakes, and the intestines were full of blood and water, staining the snow under the trench red.

Wang Yong scolded in a low voice, the thieves actually dug a trap trench around the village, planted hardwood spikes, and looked at this pit as deep as a zhang, and the collapse place can be seen to be covered with straw mats above, and there is no trace at all after the heavy snow falls and covers.

Wang Yong ordered two guards to crawl slowly along the trench to both sides, probed with their blades, and suddenly several traps collapsed into one piece, and at this moment they also saw the width of the trench, which was five or six feet wide, and it was impossible to climb over it.

The sound and snow mist caused by the large-scale collapse attracted the attention of the thieves in the camp, and some people looked from above the wooden fence and saw Wang Yong and others on the snow, and immediately let out a loud shout: "There are officers and soldiers, there are officers and soldiers sneak attack." ”

Wang Yong got up and took the two guards to turn around and run, the bowstring behind him buzzed, dozens of arrows fell on the side in front of him, and the three of them rolled and climbed back behind the snow slope. When he looked back, he saw that a wooden fence gate on the north side of the camp had been opened, and a group of thieves swarmed out and came towards the place where he was.

Wang Yong was not surprised, and said in a low voice: "Good coming, it turns out that there is no trap there, Lao Tzu was still worried, but now it's okay, the one who led the way is here." ”

Wang Yong ordered repeatedly, all the guards loaded their bullets, guns in their hands, and got up from the snow in unison, did not retreat, but advanced, and met the original thieves.

The thieves began to shoot arrows from a distance, but unfortunately the archery skills were too poor, and the fire gun guards lined up in a line, and they could not hit at all at a distance of fifty or sixty paces, and when they entered the accurate shooting distance of thirty paces, the bow and arrow of the thief soldiers could shoot in a straight line, but the fire gun also entered the shooting distance.

But when the rumbling sound was heard, a row of firebolts shot through, and seventy or eighty people fell in the front row of the thieves, but only three firecrackers were hit by arrows, one was pierced through the throat and could not be saved, and the other two missed the vital point, still gritting their teeth and charging with the guards.

Most of these thieves had experienced the Battle of Xin'an, and the vicious battle of that time was almost a nightmare, and when they saw so many firearms being fired, they were first shocked, and then turned around and fled, never wanting to face them. Wang Yong led his guards to fiercely pursue the past, and the fleeing thieves fled straight to the gate of the village, which was exactly where Wang Yong was going.

The thieves at the gate of the village saw the people who fled from a distance, and quickly reacted, closing the gate tightly, and a large group of thieves fled to the front of the gate, followed by Wang Yong and others who were pursued, but they could not enter the door, so they climbed up to the gate of the wall.

A thief leader banged on the gate of the village and shouted: "Wang Bald, open the door and open the door, his grandmother's, you fucking harm me." ”

Not only did the gate not open, but on the contrary, two thieves climbed on the two tall wooden pillars, and the leader of the thieves raised his head and shouted, "What are you two dogs doing?" Stop it. ”

The two thieves said: "I'm sorry Leader Zhao, Leader Wang said that he was going to cut the sling." ”

Leader Zhao bared his teeth and shouted: "You dare, Lao Tzu killed you." ”

The two soldiers did not pay attention to him, their legs hooked on the wooden post, and with their free hands, they pulled out the dagger at their waists, and with a few blows back and forth, they cut off the two thick ropes that were tied to the wooden post; The thieves at the gate of the village were suddenly frightened, and those behind hurriedly retreated, and they heard a loud sound of the tent, and the snow in front of the gate suddenly collapsed, and the wooden passage supported on the ditch fell into the ditch at once, and dozens of thieves on it fell into the spiked trench under the gate with angry scolding and screaming, together with the rising snow mist.

The sound of shouting and wailing resounded through the valley, and the fallen thieves squeezed each other and were pierced by the spikes, and some of the lucky ones were not pierced by the spikes, but in the chaos they were pulled by the people next to them, and finally they could not escape the tragic fate.

The thieves who did not step on the plank passage turned around and fled in shock, and were gambled by Wang Yong and others who were chasing behind, and there was a merciless bombardment, and forty or fifty thieves were beaten into a sieve and fell to the snow.
