Shaohu, the former second commander of the Shaohu Pirates, stood behind Xiong Wuliang and was stared at by two Quyang sergeants.
Looking at the main force of the Shaohu pirates who had already crashed into the encirclement at the foot of the mountain, the corners of Shaohu's mouth twitched slightly.
Since being captured, Shao Hu has been undergoing "reform through labor" in the processing factory run by Shi Er.
To be fair, the people of Chu treated Shaohu very leniently.
According to Shao Hu's imagination, a Yue general like himself who came from a humble background not only satisfied that he had a certain status in terms of status, but also satisfied that he was not a nobleman - he did not need to be treated kindly with the etiquette of a nobleman.
Just the perfect candidate for flag worship!
Unexpectedly, the Chu people not only did not kill Shaohu, but also healed his wounds.
Although Mr. Xiong made it clear - he must work hard to make up for the free food and drink he spent in Quyang County in the past few years.
But Shaohu, an upright man, was still very grateful to Xiong Wuliang.
He even worshiped him if he wanted to, and respected this little prince as his lord.
It's a pity... Master Mi Liang seems to have forgotten Shaohu!
Unexpectedly, after nearly two months of hard work, someone suddenly took him out of the processing factory and took him straight to this hillside!
Now that his former Paoze ran headlong into the siege of Xiong Wuliang, and was about to suffer heavy casualties, Shaohu felt very hesitant and complicated.
…
Zhong Hua suddenly stood up and made a big move: "The Lord has an order - Qu Yang's army attacks!"
Unlike Shao Hu's hesitation, Zhong Hua's heart was filled with the joy of fighting!
Since the defeat of Si Wujiang, the king of Yue, these bandits have occupied the lake as king and have been causing harm to Quyang County for several years.
However, Chu State had nothing to do with these bandits.
At present, his little master first established collective farms and militia, which greatly restricted the scope of action and intelligence sources of the Shaohu bandits.
He also devised the so-called "lure the snake out of the hole" plan to lure out all the main Shaohu bandits!
To be honest, Zhong Hua didn't have the baggage of an idol like General Jin - he didn't think there was anything wrong with such a conspiracy. He just felt that his young master could not only manage the fiefdom to make it rich quickly, but he was also clever in battle. Admirable.
Two hundred Quyang troops suddenly rushed down the hillside, as if a forest had sprung out of the plains!
Although these two hundred people are not many in number, they are all elites trained by Zhong Hua with great effort!
In an instant, the mountain pass was occupied!
…
There is a saying in the art of war: if the enemy is doubled, attack it; if it is ten times, it is surrounded.
It talks about having at least ten times the enemy's strength before you can surround the enemy and try to fight a battle of annihilation.
But now, Xiong Wuliang only used 300 people to try to surround the more than 1,000 Shaohu bandits!
This is not wishful thinking!
Xiong Wuliang's confidence not only comes from his belief in the combat power of his three hundred men, but also depends on this carefully selected terrain.
This mountain is shaped like the mouth of a gourd. As long as the hole is blocked, the enemy inside the gourd will never be able to escape.
The key to this battle is whether the two hundred Quyang troops guarding Hulukou can withstand the breakout of the Shaohu bandits who are five times their size!
General Jin once strongly requested that the important task of guarding Hulukou should be handed over to the capable Forbidden Army warriors.
But both Xiong Wuliang and Zhong Hua believe that Qu Yangjun can shoulder such an important task!
By the way, these well-trained soldiers can truly experience the battlefield of life and death, and use the blood of the enemy to temper them into fierce veterans as soon as possible!
Seeing the flag waving on the hillside, General Jin, who had been fleeing for his life, became energetic!
"Second and third sons, line up!" General Jin yelled.
One hundred Forbidden Soldiers roared in unison and stopped escaping!
They all pulled off their burqas with one force, revealing the shining battle armor underneath!
The tarpaulins on the ten carts were uncovered, and there was no so-called food inside.
But a truck full of weapons!
Not only are there the axes and shields commonly used by the Imperial Guard soldiers, but there are also a large number of hand-held repeating crossbows that have been strung!
Heijiu took a breath of cold air, and the ghosts of the dead emerged!
"It's the forbidden army of the Chu people!"
During the Chu-Vietnam War, Heijiu was the former general of Yue.
I was very impressed by the Chu State’s imperial army!
At that time, Si Wujiang, the king of Yue, waved his long sword in his hand, and the 150,000 Yue army roared and rushed forward all over the mountains and fields.
What they collided with was a square formation composed of a thousand soldiers of the Imperial Guards of Chu.
The strange thing is that in the face of such a black and overwhelming attack, this thousand-man phalanx did not mess up at all!
Under the cover of the large shield, the huge long ax repeatedly stabbed, swept, and pushed with great efficiency. Countless fierce Yue warriors threw themselves in front of the phalanx in vain.
Then, the Vietnamese army became afraid and hesitated to move forward.
The Chu army took the opportunity to cover them from both sides, and the 150,000 Yue army was wiped out in an instant. It only took two hours.
That day, Heijiu will never forget it even in his dreams.
A huge shield with a unique shape, a long ax as tall as two people...
The one hundred "Quyang Army's defeated troops" in front of them were clearly the imperial guards of the Chu State!
"I fell into the Chu people's trick!" Heijiu roared loudly.
After all, Heijiu was also a general of the Yue Kingdom. He glanced at the surrounding terrain and understood the dangerous situation he was in at this moment.
"Everyone listen to my order - fight back and get out of the gourd!"
Although it seems that Chu's imperial army only has a hundred people, the number of Shaohu bandits is ten times that.
But Heijiu didn't have the guts to fight the Forbidden Army!
More than a thousand Shaohu bandits turned their heads desperately and fled towards the gourd mouth like crazy!
General Jin held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and loudly commanded: "Forbidden warrior phalanx, move forward!"
"promise!"
Although the number of the one hundred forbidden troops is not large, the phalanx is also tightly integrated!
The large shield of the imperial army was raised in front to protect the soldiers holding long axes at the rear. Changyue neatly repeated three simple movements, ruthlessly stabbing those Shaohu bandits who fell behind while fleeing for their lives.
In a moment, dozens of bodies appeared on the ground.
A conceited smile flashed across General Jin's lips.
There is no doubt about the combat power of the Forbidden Army. Now it depends on whether the "Quyang Army" that Xiong Wuliang promised with patting his chest will be used!
Even if they really can't stand it... as long as they delay for a moment, the Imperial Guard soldiers can kill a large number of enemy bandits - maybe even kill the enemy chieftain!
Chased by death, the Shaohu pirates rushed towards Hulukou even more desperately!
On the hillside, Xiong Wuliang, Zhong Hua, Shao Hu... all stretched out their necks!
Look at Qu Yang's army, how powerful it is!
Zhong Hua raised the sword in his hand high——
"Ready the repeating crossbow!"
Two hundred Quyang soldiers raised their hand-held repeating crossbows in unison.
It was the first time for many soldiers of the Quyang Army to go to the battlefield. Looking at the fierce-looking and red-eyed Shaohu Bandits in front of them, their hands holding the repeating crossbows could not help but tremble slightly.
Zhong Hua keenly noticed the chaos and immediately shouted sharply: "Don't be chaotic! No arrows are allowed to be fired without the Lord's order!"
