Seeing Inspector Liu acting rogue, Inspector Zhang almost died of anger.
Damn it, the words I thought of were snatched away by you!
Inspector Liu "fell off his horse", Inspector Zhang could not fall off his horse as well, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead his people forward slowly.
Unexpectedly, not far after walking out, there were people shooting arrows on the hillsides on both sides.
Looking at the local soldier Xiang Yong who fled back in embarrassment, Tan Zhensong had the desire to kill someone.
Pointing to the soldiers in the Chang Shen camp: "You go there again and kill those crossbowmen!"
Needless to say, the soldiers of Changshen Camp were so powerful. As soon as they climbed halfway, the crossbowmen on the hillside ran away.
However, when they came back, the crossbowman who had just escaped came back.
"Wow, you guys just stay up there and see if they dare to come back!"
Tan Zhensong was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Where did this bunch of scoundrels come from? If they wanted to fight, they would fight, and if they didn't, they would leave. What's the point of going back and forth?
As soon as the soldiers from Changshen Camp came up, the other party's crossbowmen ran away again.
Tan Zhensong asked them to walk on the hillside to escort the soldiers and soldiers below.
The soldiers in Changshen Camp were full of complaints.
What is it? Why don't you come up and walk?
"Ouch……"
A soldier slipped and rolled down. If he hadn't been blocked by a tree, he would have suffered broken bones.
However, there were soldiers from the Changshen Camp on the hillside, so there were finally no crossbowmen to harass them.
Tan Zhensong was very proud. It seemed that his military ability had improved again. After a while, he should be the military supervisor of Dongping Mansion, right?
Seeing that the mining area was just a few hundred meters away, Tan Zhensong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It is estimated that the other party knew that he was powerful and ran away.
If you don't run, you will definitely be blocked on the mountain road.
Because the mining area is relatively open, if you fight there with more than a thousand of your own, unless the opponent's head is kicked by a donkey.
This is the benefit of Luo Zhiyuan covering the battlefield.
Until now, Tan Zhensong believed that the forces occupying the iron mines could not have too many people, at least not as many as he brought.
I have never heard of more than 500 bandits nearby. They couldn't be the officers and soldiers of Qingyang County next door, right?
No way?
No way?
No way?
Before Tan Zhensong could figure it out, he heard the sound of a crossbow.
The soldiers of the Changshen Camp on the hillside fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Suddenly hundreds of powerful crossbows were shot out from the woods. Even if the soldiers of Changshen Camp were covered by shields, they could not block the upper ones and the lower ones, and the lower ones could not block the upper ones.
In just one round of shooting, more than twenty soldiers from Changshen Camp fell.
What made Tan Zhensong angry was that instead of fighting back, the soldiers from Changshen Battalion turned around and ran away!
Boom boom boom boom…
Another round of shooting.
This time the crossbow arrows were fired from behind. Without shields for defense, the soldiers of Changshen Camp suffered more casualties. Only about thirty of them escaped in the end!
Immediately afterwards, the crossbow arrows on the hillside hit the local soldiers and country warriors below.
With a bang, the local soldier Xiang Yong immediately became a beast!
The regular troops in the company commander's deep camp were all shot into rabbits. If he didn't run away, why would he be waiting for his death?
After this defeat, Tan Zhensong was never able to regroup, because before he could collect the defeated troops, a group of troops came out from the corner in front.
The guy I killed was not easy to mess with at first glance. He was more ferocious than all the bandits I had encountered before!
Tan Zhensong was not a vegetarian. When he saw that the situation was not good, he turned his horse and left.
At this point, Tan County Lieutenant did not forget to say something nice: "Brothers, hold on, I will go back to find reinforcements!"
Unfortunately, Tan Zhensong kept things simple.
Want to leave?
Not to mention doors, there are no windows.
Luo Zhiyuan was not idle when he took people away for such a long time just now.
While constantly harassing and sapping the opponent's morale, he asked Ma Ming to lead his men to hide in a small valley, waiting for Tan Zhen to pass, so that he could cut off his retreat.
Luo Zhiyuan asked Ma Ming to take away 300 soldiers. He himself took 200 people, plus 500 local warriors, to prepare for a flanking attack.
Who would have thought that the soldiers of Changshen Camp were so useless that they were defeated by hundreds of crossbowmen in two rounds.
Yun Chao has no shortage of crossbowmen now. Not to mention the seizures from many wars, he got back a lot of crossbows just from his trip to Dongping Mansion.
Compared with archers, crossbowmen are not easy to train, and they can be formed after just training for a period of time.
There is no need for precision in shooting, just trigger the crossbow at the crowd.
Ma Ming has experience. Yun Chao gave him a practical lesson that day in Woniuzhai.
Seeing Tan Zhensong's defeated troops rushing over, Ma Ming ordered his soldiers to be divided into two groups, stand on both sides of the mountain road, get out of the way in the middle, and wait for the other side to dive into the flesh and blood alley.
"Ahhhh..."
Tan Zhensong had actual combat experience. As soon as he saw Ma Ming's arrangement, he knew something was wrong. He immediately shouted on his horse: "Stop everyone, don't go over, don't go over!"
Unfortunately, no one listened to Tan Zhensong's orders. Almost everyone was trying their best to squeeze into the narrow "escape passage".
Some people even stretched out their hands to pull him off the horse and snatch his mount.
Tan Zhensong's brain reacted quickly. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately slipped off the horse and gave the horse to others.
His cronies are a group of government servants who are smarter because they are more knowledgeable than ordinary people.
Seeing Tan Zhensong dismount and take off his armor, he soon knew what he wanted to do.
Twenty or thirty government officials followed suit and took off their official uniforms one after another.
"Sir, this way, let's go up the mountain!"
Seeing that the defeated troops who had rushed into the "escape passage" were being killed one by one by the enemies on both sides, the government officials' scalps went numb and they hurriedly followed Tan Zhensong to climb to the nearby hillside.
Fortunately, the mountain of Chiyan Mountain is not steep, and Tan Zhensong is a practitioner, so there should be no problem in escaping over the mountain.
However, Tan Zhensong kept things simple.
He didn't grow up in the mountains, so he underestimated the difficulty of climbing over the mountains.
What's more, since he was preparing to attack from both front and rear, Luo Zhiyuan had already considered the possibility of the enemy escaping over the mountain, and had asked Li Dashan to wait on the mountain with his scouts.
However, Li Dashan was not in a very good mood.
Because Tan Zhensong climbed the hillside opposite him.
Seeing Tan Zhensong miss this big fish, Li Dashan's nose became angry.
Zhou Chong, I hope you don’t let yourself off the hook, otherwise I won’t be able to spare you.
Zhou Chong led his men to squat on the mountain opposite Li Dashan. He lined up his scouts, tens of meters apart, watching what was going on down the mountain.
Soon, a scout sent a signal and someone was going up the mountain!
In fact, even if you don't send a signal, others will see it.
Without Zhou Chong's greeting, everyone began to move towards the place where Tan Zhensong went up the mountain.
The scouts were well hidden and Tan Zhensong did not notice.
Seeing that they were about to reach the top of the mountain and then escape over the mountain, Tan Zhensong and the government officials couldn't help but get excited.
Looking back at the enemies with high morale on the mountain road below, Tan Zhensong gritted his teeth with hatred: "You wait for grandpa, I will be back!"
