The next day, the convoy left Heishan Village in a mighty manner and headed west to Yiju.
After walking more than ten miles, Jia Cong asked the team to stop.
Let Tiezhu lead the special forces team to explore the road ahead and find out the whereabouts of the enemy.
He also had people bring out two hundred sets of armor, and ordered everyone to equip them all. He, Qingwen and others were also properly dressed, and then the team set off again.
Wu Jinxian looked at the people wearing armor, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
I thought something bad had happened. This young man seemed to have been prepared for it. What should I do?
Although those horse bandits are tough, facing these armor-clad guards, it's really hard to predict the outcome.
I really went out of my way this time. No, staying here will only lead to death. Thirty-six strategies are the best option.
Find an opportunity to run home, pack up your money and run away directly. We can't stay here any longer in Montenegro.
When Wu Jinxian thought of this, his pace gradually began to slow down, and he gradually fell behind the team.
Just when he broke away from the team, thinking that his plan had succeeded and that he would be able to escape soon, Wangcai appeared in front of him.
"Wuzhuangtou, where do you want to go?"
Wu Jinxian sighed after hearing this. It was probably really over this time and he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
Looking at Wangcai, he quickly put on a smile and said: "I'm no longer useful when I'm old. My legs and feet can't keep up with young people like you. I'll fall to the end when I walk."
Wangcai smiled and said: "I see that Wuzhuangtou is very strong and doesn't look like he can't walk. Let's go. Third Master has something to ask you."
Wu Jinxian had no choice but to follow Wangcai to the front again.
Wangcai said: "Third Master, this old guy wants to run away. When I found him, he had already left the team. How about I kill him directly?"
When Wu Jinxian heard this, he became anxious. This little bastard was so bad, so he immediately complained.
He hurriedly said to Jia Cong: "Third Master, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm just tired from walking and fell behind. I want to take a rest. I'm here right now, right?"
These words made Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that this old guy would not die until he reached the Yellow River.
This mentality and reaction are what I need. What a talent!
such a pity! If he insists on seeking death, it will be difficult even if he wants to spare him.
"Wuzhuangtou, where is the horse bandit you invited waiting for us? It's already this time, there's no need to hide it anymore, right?"
Wu Jinxian panicked, and said calmly: "What does Third Master mean by this? Aren't we going to trade with my friend? We have to go to Yizhou to see my friend. Did Third Master misunderstand something?" "
This old guy is really a dead duck - he has a tough mouth.
We have reached this point, but we are still hoping for luck and refuse to admit it.
He glanced at Wu Jinxian and said calmly: "Actually, I don't want to deal with you two brothers. I wanted to give you a step to admit your mistakes.
But I never thought that not only would you not repent, but you would also be crazy and want my life. You are so greedy.
Now tell me the location of the ambush of the group of horse bandits, and I will let someone give you a pleasure. If you don't tell me, you will never have a chance again. "
After listening to Jia Cong's words, Wu Jinxian's last bit of luck was finally shattered.
With a plop, he knelt down in front of Jia Cong's horse and begged: "Third Master, I was just a young Hutu. I was blinded by greed and did this Hutu thing. Please, Third Master, for the sake of the friendship between our ancestors, please do this." If you spare me once, I will work as a cow or a horse in the next life to repay you."
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "Some mistakes can be forgiven, but some mistakes cannot be forgiven. Once you make it, you will never have a chance again. You have committed a heinous crime of eating your master as a slave. How can I forgive you?"
Seeing that there was no way to survive, Wu Jinxian stopped praying and said with a ferocious expression: "Since we are all going to die anyway, why should I tell you? Let them kill you and you will be considered as revenge for me."
As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Jia Cong suddenly.
Seeing this, Zhang Hu stood up from his horse and kicked Wu Jinxian away. The other guards also reacted and stepped forward to catch him and remove his arms.
"Third Master, what should I do with this old bastard?"
Jia Cong said expressionlessly: "Let each of the brothers who have never seen blood chop him once and see the blood. Until he is hacked to death, let this be a sacrificial flag for our operation."
"Yes, Third Master."
Soon there was a scream from behind the team, and it lasted for a long time before it stopped.
It's not that Jia Cong is cruel. Since ancient times, kindness does not govern soldiers, and justice does not manage finances.
He is about to enter the army, control the army, and lead the troops to fight. How can he convince everyone if he is merciful and soft-hearted.
After walking about five miles, the special operations team in front came back to report.
"Reporting to Third Master, the enemy's whereabouts were found five miles ahead. The enemy is a group of horse bandits, less than 200 people. They are resting at this time. The terrain is open and is very suitable for cavalry charges."
Jia Cong said: "I understand, continue to pay attention to their whereabouts."
"Yes, Third Master."
Zhang Dakui said: "Third Master, the opponent has chosen a position and is waiting for us to appear. Maybe they have discovered us. At such a close distance, they can arrive with just one charge.
Let me lead the cavalry to approach quietly and surprise them, trying to catch them off guard. "
Jia Cong hesitated for a moment and said: "Isn't this... a bit far away? Once the cavalry makes too much noise when running, the other party will soon find out and respond, and it will not have the effect of a surprise attack. "
Zhang Dakui said: "Third Master, I will lead the cavalry and quietly advance two miles before launching a surprise attack. With such a short distance, even if they are aware of it, they will be very confused and it will be difficult to organize an effective charge." , our goal will be achieved.”
In this case, we are more confident. It depends on the reaction of the bandits.
If he reacts slowly, he will be overwhelmed by his own cavalry, and the battle will be won.
If you react quickly and organize a counterattack, you will definitely be a little panicked, and your side will still take advantage.
"Okay, all the cavalry will move together. Wangcai will lead the spear team and follow up later."
Wangcai said: "Yes, Third Master, we can't leave much behind."
Sixty cavalrymen, plus the people around Jia Cong, a total of about seventy people, slowed down and walked forward.
The target was getting closer and closer, and just when Jia Cong was about to give the order to charge, the special operations team came to report again.
"Report to Third Master, Captain Tiezhu has led the special team to sneak near the opponent's horses, waiting for Third Master's instructions."
This is good news. With the special forces creating chaos, the effect of the raid on our side will be even better.
"Go back and tell your captain that we are about to launch a raid. You can create some chaos appropriately and cooperate with our actions."
"Yes, Third Master, I will go back and tell the captain now."
Watching the special forces members disappear into the grass, Zhang Dakui said: "Third Master, with the cooperation of Tiezhu and the others, we are more confident."
Jia Cong nodded and gave the order to attack.
"All cavalry listen to the order and charge with me to eliminate the horse bandits in front."
Jia Cong shook the reins and rushed out at the lead.
Zhang Hu and Li Biao followed Jia Cong on the left and right, followed by Qingwen and Chun Xia Qiu Dong.
Zhang Dakui and the cavalry behind him also rushed forward.
The fierce sound of horse hooves sounded instantly, and the ground nearby shook.
The horse bandits on the opposite side were startled when they heard the sound of horse hooves. How could there be cavalry here? Isn't it just a group of caravans?
The leader of the horse bandits was a tough bandit with a scar on his face. He looked in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.
I saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them, already within a thousand meters.
This distance can be said to be reached in the blink of an eye. At that moment, I did not dare to delay and shouted loudly: "Everyone mounts their horses to meet the enemy."
Just as everyone was running towards the war horses, two grenades fell from the sky and landed among the crowd.
"Boom, boom"
Two explosions, accompanied by more than a dozen screams, shocked the horse bandits.
They all looked at the center of the explosion, and saw more than a dozen people lying on the ground, covered in flesh and blood, some were already dead, and some were still wailing and screaming.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
The scar-faced leader was heartbroken. Is this a cannon? The other party actually has a cannon, is it being calculated?
"It's bad there's an ambush, we've been fooled, run away."
He took the lead and ran towards the war horse. Just after running a few steps, there was a swishing sound of crossbows, and dozens of crossbow arrows were fired towards the crowd.
The attack came so suddenly that the horse bandits were completely unprepared, and more than a dozen of them fell down in an instant.
Then a second wave of arrows fell, and a dozen more people fell.
The scar-faced leader luckily escaped the crossbow and glanced at the confused men, now completely panicked.
Someone touched him quietly, stopping his brothers from mounting their horses.
The opponent's cavalry has also arrived behind them, and it's completely over now.
He glanced around and ran to a place with few people, hoping to grab a war horse and escape.
Jia Cong took the lead and rushed into the chaotic horse bandits. The black knife flashed in his hand, and the head of a horse bandit flew up, and hot blood spurted out from his neck.
The war horse flashed past, and the second head flew up again. When the third head flew up, the first corpse fell to the ground with a "bang".
Zhang Hu and Li Biao, following him on his left and right, also wielded their swords to kill the enemies on the road ahead.
The three of them formed a triangular arrow and inserted themselves fiercely into the chaos of the horse bandits.
After killing more than a dozen people in a row, he penetrated the enemy's camp and came out from the opposite side.
Turning the horse's head, he looked at the chaotic scene. There were many people secretly riding their horses and escaping out.
Jia Cong didn't intend to let them go, but there were more people on the main battlefield here, and the battle wasn't over yet, so he couldn't leave with the cavalry.
Looking along the way, I could see Wangcai's infantry, who were about to arrive on the battlefield.
He looked at the fighting crowd and shouted loudly: "Those who squat down and surrender with their hands on their heads can survive, but those who resist and run away will be killed without mercy."
Several people around him also shouted: "Those who squat down and surrender with their hands on their heads can survive, but those who resist and run away will be killed without mercy."
This shout really worked. Most people immediately threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads. Only a few people were still resisting.
Zhang Dakui asked Zhang Dakui to leave half of the cavalry to clean up the mess, and he took the other half of the cavalry and chased those who escaped.
After chasing and escaping, they chased for more than ten miles in the blink of an eye. Only Qingwen could keep up behind him, and the others were hundreds of meters behind.
There were still more than a dozen people escaping in front of them. These people's horses were very good. They chased for another five miles, and the difference between the two sides was only forty or fifty meters.
If we continue chasing like this, we won't be able to catch up within twenty miles.
Jia Cong reached out and took down the bow. He bent the bow and aimed an arrow at the last person. When he let go, with a "swish" sound, an arrow hit the opponent in the back of the heart and he fell off his horse.
The war horse lost control and ran a few steps before slowly stopping.
Jia Cong fired his bow again, and with a "swish" sound, another man was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse.
Jia Cong shot six arrows in succession, knocking six people off their horses. Qingwen also shot three people with a crossbow.
There were five or six people in front. Seeing this, they were horrified and ran away separately, never daring to be together again.
The scar-faced leader in front shouted: "Boy, we have already run away, and you are still chasing us. Do you really want to kill us all?"
Jia Cong laughed and said: "What you said is right. If you don't surrender, then kill them all. Those who want to survive will immediately dismount and surrender. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold on for long. I will shoot the talker with the next arrow. Be careful. "
The scar-faced leader was horrified when he heard this and shouted: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, I surrender, I surrender."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I've already set my sights on this. Get off your horse immediately, or I'll give up."
The scar-faced leader reluctantly reined in his horse and got off the horse.
Several other people also shouted: "We surrender too, stop shooting."
Seeing that all six people had dismounted, Jia Cong shouted: "Throw all your weapons on the ground, squat down with your head in your hands, and wait for the people behind you to come up."
The scar-faced leader threw away his weapon, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and asked anxiously: "This young man, you won't kill us after we surrender, right?"
Jia Cong said: "If you sincerely surrender, I will naturally not kill you. If you dare to violate the law, don't blame me for being rude. Tell me, where are you horse bandits? Tell me everything you know. If you dare to lie, Cut it off immediately."
At this time, Zhang Hu, Li Biao and others also caught up.
He tied up the six prisoners, gathered up the horses along the way, and rushed towards the road.
The pursuit actually lasted nearly twenty miles, so there was no need to hurry back.
Along the way, he interrogated the six prisoners one by one and got the information he wanted.
There are about 300 people in this fire horse bandit. This time, 180 people came, and 120 people stayed in the lair to look after the house.
The scar-faced leader is Wang Shun, the leader of the fire horse bandits. There is also a second leader in the valley.
The big leader Wang Shun is responsible for plundering, and the second leader is responsible for guarding the valley. The two have a clear division of labor, and they are a good partner.
Their main range of activities is outside the Great Wall, targeting scattered caravans and sometimes attacking small tribes.
But their old nest is in a hidden valley in Dachu.
The valley was very secretive, and they discovered it by accident. The exit of the valley was very narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it a very good hiding place.
