Chapter 14 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

(The second update is coming~~~)

Scarface said: "My name is Gu Xifeng, a person from Hebei." He introduced the two to him again, pointed to the one with the scar on his arm and said, "This is Li San, a native of Shandong." Pointing to the one with the scar on his leg, he said, "This is Xiong Zhen, a native of Liaodong." Wang Yangming and the three of them greeted him one by one, and Gu Xifeng introduced the rest of them to him, namely Xiong Linquan, Da Wendong, Liu Xiao, Xiao Shiyi, Hou Yinxi, Hu Zuhua, Bai Zhantang and other ten people, among which Xiong Zhen and Xiong Linquan are brothers, and these ten people are the ten most powerful soldiers around Boyan.

Wang Yangming met these many heroes in one day, and he was very happy in his heart, and said: "All the brothers are frank people, and the younger brother doesn't dare to cheat. ”

Gu Xifeng said with a smile: "On the battlefield, who cares where you get your strength, your strength is your win." Brother Wang, don't care about this. ”

At the moment, these ten people plus Wang Yangming have a total of eleven, and they are wrestling in the courtyard for a show, testing their strength, Wang Yangming has come to the barracks, and it is the first time he has had the opportunity to compete with others like this, and he is very happy in his heart, compared to the depression in the service camp.

Early in the morning of the third day, Wang Yangming and his relatives got up early to clean up, brought bows and arrows, knives and guns, rode horses, led hounds, and rushed to greet Boyan. In addition to these eleven personal soldiers, Boyan transferred 100 elites of the cavalry battalion, and went to hunt in the col fifty miles northwest.

Seeing Wang Yangming's spirit of dressing, Boyan privately called him over, and the two walked side by side, Boyan said: "Today's hunting is almost to death, are you afraid?"

Wang Yangming saw that Boyan was in command, and said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief is not afraid, what am I afraid of." ”

Seeing his high-spirited appearance, Boyan only said lightly: "Actually, I am not sure of victory." I don't know what I haven't thought of, and I'm always worried in my heart. Fortunately, I have already let the military aircraft battalion circulate your Sun Tzu's Art of War, and I have also asked Deputy Marshal Qin to arrange the offensive and defensive matters, even if I have any accidents, Jiayuguan will not collapse. ”

He looked at the pro-soldiers around him and said leisurely: "These pro-soldiers of mine are all selected by me from the pile of dead. Some of them were sentenced to death before joining the army, and they had done a lot of murder and stealing goods, but I saved them so that they could join the army to wash away their sins and change their future. These people are working for me to death, but I can't bear them to die for me, and if anything happens today, you can take them and flee with you, and don't take care of me. What the enemy wants, I am alone, and I will hold them back, and you will have life. ”

Wang Yangming shook his head and refused. Seeing that he was resolute, Boyan didn't want to say anything, and he only hoped that everything would go according to his plan today.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the people went to the mountain col, and got dogs and beasts to look for the prey. Boyan only watched on the horse, watching the children having fun, and the gloom in his heart lightened. Gu Xifeng stepped forward and said, "Dashuai, why don't you try your skills?"

Boyan replied well, and then he rode forward, and saw a wild deer half a mile away, and bent his bow and arrows on his horse, and when an arrow was shot, the wild deer was hit by an arrow, and ran into the depths of the forest with a wail. Then a sergeant from the cavalry battalion came after him, to hunt down the wild deer. When the sergeant entered the forest, the people saw that he was nowhere to be seen, and suddenly they heard a terrible cry, which startled the birds in the forest, and the sergeant seemed to have met with an accident.

Boyan was shocked in his heart, and ordered ten sergeants to line up in formation and slowly go over to check. As soon as the ten men entered the forest, they heard a few wails, and they all fell off their horses, and one of them ran back desperately, and Boyan saw that he had been hit by a cold arrow in the chest, and heard him shout with all his last strength: "Enemy attack!

As if startled by his roar, thousands of arrows shot out of the forest. Boyan jumped off his horse and shouted: "Set up the formation!"

Everyone reacted quickly, and the eleven personal soldiers quickly dismounted and formed a circle, protecting Boyan in the middle, and the rest of the cavalry also dismounted and surrounded the periphery, each erecting an iron shield to block the arrows outside.

But I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and I don't know how many people came out of the woods. Boyan watched intently, and saw a person coming out of the enemy, this person was riding on a horse, walked to a hundred feet in front of the Han soldiers, stopped, and said loudly: "General Boyan, don't come unharmed!"

Boyan looked at him carefully and recognized him as a famous general among the Hu people, called the spotted leopard, his real name was Timur Zhanli, and he was the commander of the Hu people. The two had fought once a few years ago, and although this man was a fierce general, he was not as good at tactics as Boyan, and he was defeated and fled. This is the one who didn't want to set up an ambush here today.

Boyan responded: "General Annihilation is so interested, he also came here to hunt today, why did the secret arrow hurt my sergeant?"

The spotted leopard laughed and said, "You don't have to be polite, general, we are not here to hunt today, we are here to wait for you." The Lord has an order to invite General Boyan to sit in our camp and say goodbye. ”

Boyan said: "The general's kindness should have been received." It's just that our Northwest Army is busy with military affairs, and I am the commander of the Northwest Army, so I can't leave without permission. General, please come back!"

The spotted leopard sneered and said, "The general is too outward. The Lord instructed that if the general refused to come, we had to cut off the general's head and bring it back, and ask the Lord to have a good talk with the general's head. ”

Boyan's soldiers were all furious and shouted and cursed. Boyan told everyone to calm down, and shouted to the spotted leopard: "General Annihilation, there is no need to say much, what ability do you have to capture me back, just use it!"

The spotted leopard said: "General, don't do useless struggles. Do you know how many soldiers and horses I have gathered here for this ambush?" said the general waved his hand, but he heard that behind him, on the top of the two mountain passes, there were responses, all over the mountains, I don't know how many people and horses, it turned out that these people had been ambushed in this mountain for a long time, waiting for Boyan for a long time.

The spotted leopard said: "In order to capture the general, I ambushed 15,000 soldiers and horses here. The general has no more than 100 men, and even if you have wings, you can't fly out of my encirclement!"

Boyan thought to himself that what Qin Chonghai said was really good, and the Hu people poured out of the nest and really gathered 15,000 people. At present, he is in the mountain col, those soldiers and horses are on the mountain, if the other party swoops down, he is in a very dangerous situation, but fortunately, this time he is also fully prepared in secret, bringing a big iron shield over, and there are also tripping horses and inverted horse stakes, which must be able to support an hour. An hour, and that's enough.

Boyan waved his hand behind him, and a cavalryman took out a firework to pull it, and the firework swooped into the sky, exploding with a loud bang, even in the daytime, it was bright and shining, it turned out to be a signal flare.

Boyan said loudly: "I go out of the city to hunt, how dare I be unprepared! General Annihilation, in a moment or three, the 40,000 elite soldiers in my pass will be surrounded here, I advise the general to retreat quickly, otherwise you will be dumplings by us, and none of your 15,000 people will be able to get out!"
