Chapter 63: Bloodless
While chasing and shooting arrows, when the other party rushed out of the smoke, he shot thirty or forty more, and there were only more than a hundred bandits left.
"Niangxi, all give Lao Tzu's eyes wide, as long as they dare to chase into the smoke, they will shoot his mother to Lao Tzu!"
Zou Chi was also a little anxious, and as soon as the smoke came out, he immediately seized the opportunity to counteract, and shouted loudly.
"Yes, although we have suffered a lot of losses, there is smoke to stop them, and they don't dare to chase us!"
When the bandits heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately calmed down.
Zou Chi's words were tantamount to giving them a reassurance, at least they didn't have to worry about dying.
"Brothers, avenge the dead guy, shoot the!"
The ferocity of the robbers was revealed, and when they remembered that many old men had died, they were all hideous, drew their bows and arrows, and turned around to shoot.
"Boom!"
But at this moment, in the direction where the bandits came, there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves.
Judging by the sound of hooves, at least two hundred people came!
"Who is it, is it the fourth and fifth of them, no, they don't have so many people!"
Hearing the sound of hooves, Zou Chi's thoughts flew around, and soon his face was desperate.
Since Chu Hongyu has set a trap and waited for him here, it is normal that he still has a backhand, and the probability that someone is from the Blackstone Army is at least more than seventy percent!
"Retreat, quick, retreat to that pass!"
Even if he was a little decisive, Ma Xiang changed his strategy and led the crowd to flee to the pass.
According to military common sense, retreats usually do not run to special types such as passes.
But now that the road they came from was blocked, there were people led by Chu Hongyu on this side of the business road, and the other directions were all mountains, so there was no choice at all.
"Chase!"
Chu Hongyu had expected this to be the case, and with a wave of the Silver Moon Phoenix Feather Sword, she led the escort team around the edge of the smoke and chased after the other party at full speed.
"What's going on?"
At the beginning, Zou Chi was still rejoicing, fortunately the other party did not ambush in the east, otherwise he would really be unable to escape today.
But soon, his heart sank straight because he realized that something was wrong with his horse.
"Goo!"
Immediately afterward, a "cooing" sound was heard from the belly of the war horse.
"It's a stomach problem, Niang Xipi, there is a name in that smoke!"
Thinking back to the strange composition of the dust, Zou Chi instantly became earthy, knowing that there must be something wrong with the dust, which would cause weakness under the legs of the war rider and show signs of diarrhea.
"Stop, all stop, we surrender!"
Zou Chi was also very decisive, looked at the direction of the pass, and knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply raised his hands and directly ordered his subordinates to surrender.
"Surrender?"
Some of the bandits were not reconciled, but they soon changed their minds, because the people around them all raised their hands and stopped.
"We surrender, don't shoot us!"
Knowing that the tide was turning, these men descended faster than anyone else, and they all raised their hands and shouted to the guards for mercy.
"Boom!"
At this moment, another team rumbled closer, and the soldiers of the guard commander fixed their eyes on it, it was the elite main force led by Situ Fei.
"Grand Commander!"
"Commander Chu!"
The two teams of Black Rock City were full of joy, greeted each other, and surrounded the bandits in surrender very tacitly.
"Dismount all, throw away your weapons, drive your horses over, unload your equipment, and kneel on the ground with your heads in your hands, waiting to be disposed of!"
Situ left the group, rode his horse towards the bandits, and ordered without question.
"Okay, let's do it, don't resist, don't kill us."
If you don't obey, you have to die, and at this time, how can the bandits resist, and they all do it obediently.
"Whew!"
At this time, under Situ Fei's instructions, a scout shot an arrow in the direction of the pass.
"Boom!"
Immediately, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the direction of the pass, and when they got closer, it was Wang Runzhi and others who took the lead.
"Sure enough, there was an ambush ......"
Seeing that there were people over there, Zou Chi showed an expression of re-release.
If there was no ambush, it was a mistake in his judgment and he missed the chance to escape, and now that his judgment has been verified, he can give an account to all the bandits, which is finally a little better.
"This general, Zou Chi has something unclear, I don't know if I can ask for it, and I will understand."
After being tied up by Wuhuada, Zou Chi jumped and looked at Situ Fei and asked loudly.
"Say it."
Since they are already prisoners of the ranks, they will be dealt with according to military law, and there is no need to abuse them, Situ said.
Zou Chi was like a burst of artillery and asked: "I want to ask the general, when were these traps set, and why did you use some corn dust instead of explosives?" ”
"Huh."
Knowing that Zou Chi would ask this, Situ Fei couldn't help but smile.
These traps were infiltrated by Luo Lin and the Lu brothers and laid them at a very fast speed.
And with corn dust, without explosives, one is not to cause suspicion when infiltrating, and the other is to protect the equipment.
If explosives were used, the bandits would inevitably die, and more than half of their armaments would be destroyed, which was not something they wanted to see.
After all, in addition to eliminating evil and promoting good and stabilizing the party, they also had an important purpose in suppressing bandits, which was to acquire armaments and enhance the combat effectiveness of their troops.
There is nothing to hide about this, Situ Fei explained to Zou Chi, and everyone suddenly realized.
It turned out that it was all planned in advance, just waiting for the robbers to jump into the trap.
After explaining, Situ Fei arranged for Wang Runzhi: "Commander Wang, you lead fifty people and escort them to the Black Mountain Mining Area......
"They have done so much sin, let them mine and atone for their sins in Blackstone City."
"Yes, Grand Commander!"
There was a task next, Wang Runzhi didn't dare to delay, and immediately escorted people to the Black Mountain mining area.
After Wang Runzhi left, Situ Fei said to Chu Hongyu: "Commander Chu, act according to the original plan, let's go first!" ”
"Yes, General!"
Chu Hongyu saluted and received the order, and led his troops back to camp.
As for Situ and his entourage, they disappeared into the night, and no one knew where they went.
"Tell everyone to get up, let's go to Qingshan Town!"
Back at the camp, Chu Hongyu ordered the caravan to go on the road overnight and go to Qingshan Town for the night.
Sleeping in the barren mountains and mountains is just a need to lure the enemy, and now although the bandits have been wiped out, it is better to be careful.
After the caravan left, the mountains regained their tranquility and fell into darkness, as if there was no trace of the battle just now.
"What, more than 200 people led by Zou Chi have suddenly disappeared since last night?"
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Zhao Mad learned the news of Zou Chi's disappearance from Sun Ying, touched his chin, and looked very gloomy.
Zou Chi's strength is not bad, and he brought two hundred elite soldiers, if he can't see it, he will disappear, if there is nothing greasy in it, who will believe it.
"Did anyone below notice anything unusual?"
Zhang asked Sun Yingdao.
"Yes, there is a trace of battle more than 20 miles away from Qingshan Town on the business road......
Sun Ying said puzzledly: "But judging from those traces, it doesn't look like there was a bloody battle, what trick did Zou Chi and them fall into?" ”
