Looking at these long arrows, Zheng Hao's face suddenly sank. He knew that these arrows were not meant to hurt his people, but a warning. Judging from the number of arrows shot by this wavelength, there were no fewer bandits hiding in the woods than the officers and soldiers he led.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Hao's face suddenly became ugly, because judging from the current situation, once the two sides started fighting, his officers and soldiers would not be able to benefit. He pursued the bandits all the way, and in the end he actually This is the result.
"Let's go, and please tell Brother Ye that since we are destined not to be comrades in arms in this life, then we will be divided on the battlefield." Zheng Hao is not a person who is procrastinating. After weighing the situation, he quickly made a decision.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng. Then my brother will say goodbye first!" But under the current circumstances, other officers and soldiers will catch up soon. Qi Jiao and Shan Fu did not dare to hesitate. After Shan Fu said politely, he took his hands Everyone evacuated towards the direction of the woods.
Du Kui'an, Zhang Gui and the others in the Suzaku Army did not wake up from the joy of surviving the disaster for a long time. After standing blankly for a long time, they finally realized and immediately organized their bandits to retreat towards the grove.
Zheng Hao and the officers and soldiers of the Bai Sheng Battalion he led actually had no other choice but to watch the bandits retreat into the distant woods, reluctantly giving up on the great success that was so easy to achieve.
"Brother Ye Ying, I can make people like girls and door bolts follow you wholeheartedly, and can also create such fighting power among bandits. I, Zheng Hao, am not as good as you. Don't worry, if your stronghold is captured this time, I will personally do it. Go to Jinling and give the three of you a chance to survive." Zheng Hao murmured to himself as he watched the last bandit disappear into the forest.
"Commander Zheng, how are you? Have you caught the bandits?" Zheng Hao was quietly looking in the direction of the woods, thinking about whether to rush in at this time, when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Just when I turned around, I saw Wang Sidao, the battalion commander of the Mad Lion Army's Shanshan Camp. He looked concerned in his words, and his smile was full of a different flavor.
Seeing Wang Sidao's smile, Zheng Hao certainly understood what this person was thinking. Zheng Hao became the commander of a battalion at a young age, which made several other battalion commanders with higher qualifications feel very unhappy. They always Zhao Hu was very dissatisfied with Zheng Hao and his equally young command.
This time, seeing Zheng Hao leading the Bai Sheng Battalion to pursue the bandits alone, several old commanders headed by Wang Sidao were very anxious. They were afraid that Zheng Hao would win great achievements, so they followed closely behind.
Wang Sidao caught up with Bai Shengying and saw that they didn't catch many bandits. He felt very happy and couldn't help but say something.
"The bandits are in the woods ahead. I'm about to chase them." Seeing Wang Sidao's face, Zheng Hao immediately knew what he was thinking. His heart was full of disdain, but his face did not show it. Set a trap for Wang Sidao
When he heard that the bandits were in front, Wang Sidao immediately became energetic. The opportunity to make a great contribution was right in front of him. Therefore, Wang Sidao did not hear the teasing meaning in Zheng Hao's words and was immediately attracted by the woods ahead.
"Brothers, prepare..." He glanced at Wang Sidao with an affectionate expression, and then made a gesture to his soldiers to prepare for an attack.
"Brother Zheng, as the saying goes, there is no way to enter the forest. It is better to let my elder brother's people help you explore the way. After all, they are more experienced." Wang Sidao did not see the previous situation. He thought that even if there were bandits ambushing in the forest, It didn't pose much of a threat to his elite soldiers and generals, so he spoke first.
"What are you still doing? Take your brothers to take a look in the woods ahead." Before Zheng Hao could say anything else, Wang Sidao had already given an order to the next team.
That team was Wang Sidao's confidant. After hearing Wang Sidao's order, he immediately led his team and ran toward the woods without saying a word.
Because they didn't know what was going on in the forest, the soldiers from the two battalions of Shanshan Camp and Baisheng Battalion stood there quietly, wanting to see if this group of soldiers could successfully capture the bandits from the woods.
The time for a cup of tea passed quickly, and I saw that most of these soldiers had entered the woods. The forest was silent at this time, and nothing unusual happened.
"Haha, it seems that Commander Zheng is a little too cautious. This small forest actually scared the famous Bai Sheng Battalion in our Mad Lion Army." Wang Sidao suddenly laughed and said to Zheng Hao who was standing aside. said.
"Ah..." A scream suddenly came from the forest. The sound seemed to be contagious. Then, screams sounded one after another in the woods, making everyone present nervous.
After a while, the group of soldiers withdrew from the woods. The number of soldiers was obviously smaller. Many of them were still wounded, and some even had arrows stuck in their bodies. Judging from their dejected looks, they must have been attacked in the forest just now.
Seeing this scene, Wang Sidao's face immediately turned livid. He originally wanted to take the lead, but he didn't expect that the bandits ambushing in the forest had some tricks up their sleeves.
"Commander Wang, it seems that your men were not careful enough and were attacked by a few bandits." Zheng Hao said with "concern" from the side, which made Wang Sidao feel angry. Only then did he realize that Zheng Hao had known about it for a long time. There was an ambush in the forest, and he deliberately set a trap for himself.
"Report to the Commander, there are many traps inside, animal traps on the ground, sharp wooden dragons in the sky, and cut wood being ejected. Many of our brothers were injured." At this time, the team member was When he came to Wang Sidao, he said with a sad face.
This bandit turned out to be so difficult to deal with, but he was the one who fought to get in, so he couldn't blame Zheng Hao. Wang Sidao felt evil anger in his heart and had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to scold the team leader.
"You guys, lead the men to surround me from both sides and arrest all the bandits hiding in the forest." After getting angry, Wang Sidao arranged for the other teams. Now he only has one He wanted to catch these bandits one by one and give them the cruelest torture.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Sidao sent out all the remaining people and asked them to search from the front. Wang Sidao believed that under this all-round outflanking, the bandits in the forest would have no place to hide.
With the lessons learned just now, the soldiers in the Shanshan Camp were much more careful this time. Everyone looked around before taking every step carefully, so that there were far fewer people who fell into the trap.
After about an hour, several groups of bandits met in the forest, but at this time they were surprised to find that there was not a single bandit in the forest at this time. Now they evacuated after attacking the group of officers and soldiers just now.
"Chase me!" This situation was a huge irony for Wang Sidao. He could no longer control his emotions and roared out the order.
The battle across the river ended with a victory for the officers and soldiers, but Sima Chi, the Zhaowu captain who led the army, was not happy. Although many bandits were captured and killed in this battle, he also suffered losses. many people. The Mad Lion Army, one of the three major iron armies in Daning, actually suffered such a big fall in front of the bandits. This is not considered a victory.
Under this mentality, Sima Chi lost his original high spirits and had no choice but to lead his people along the way, and finally set up camp a few miles away from the foot of Fuhu Mountain.
In the first few days after Sima Chi arrived, the bandits from the Flying Eagle Society did not take the opportunity to rob the camp, and Sima Chi did not take the initiative to attack. Everything became very calm, and there was no sign of tension at all.
The reason for the current situation is that Sima Chi could no longer bear another defeat, so he chose to wait for the arrival of the army before cooperating with the army to fight. The Flying Eagle Society has not yet found a way to defeat the enemy, so it fell into a trap. This stalemate situation.
Of course, everyone in the Flying Eagle Club is not idle now. The officers and soldiers are about to attack. In order to successfully stop the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, the village leaders arranged their men to build many defenses with mud and stones at several dangerous locations on the mountain road. , in order to attack the officers and soldiers from as many angles as possible when they attack.
In addition, many traps and mechanisms were set up in the valleys on the mountain to cause trouble for the officers and soldiers when they wanted to go up the mountain.
But all these strategies were just to make the village's defense more stable. Looking at the busy bandits in the village, Ye Ying and Zhuge Ying didn't feel happy at all. Because no matter how strong the defense is, you can only stop the officers and soldiers from attacking. So far, we have not found a good strategy to defeat the enemy.
Ye Ying, Zhuge Ying and some important leaders in the village had discussed together countless times. They proposed many plans, but after some deductions, they found that none of them could defeat these powerful officers and soldiers. Inflict a fatal blow.
Now in the cottage, what everyone discusses the most is how to defend and how to evacuate the cottage if they can't hold it. But if they can't even defend the cottage that everyone has set up for so many years, where can so many people escape to? Huge pressure was on Ye Ying's head, so that no one in the village had seen his smiling face in these days.
The large army led by the new Guangwei general Zeng Yi finally arrived at Fuhu Mountain. Seeing the dense military tents at the foot of the mountain, a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire Flying Eagle Association. This is one of the strongest armies in Daning, and its number is larger than that of the Flying Eagle Society. The chances of winning this battle are really low.
"Brothers, at the foot of the mountain is Daning's famous Mad Lion Army. They are indeed very powerful, and our strength is indeed not as good as theirs. But we cannot lose this battle, nor can we surrender, because this is a dead end. It doesn't matter if we die, but we There are still wives, children, and children, so we must defend our homeland even if we shed the last drop of blood."
Seeing the low morale in the village, Ye Ying simply called all the combatants together and held a swearing-in meeting. Ye Ying's sonorous and powerful words made many combatants who had their heads lowered raise their heads and start looking directly at the heights. The big bang.
"Brothers, I believe there are no invincible enemies in the world. There are only cowards without courage. They are dejected and listless and cannot solve problems. If you are a man, please cheer up and protect our home and our families together!"
Ye Ying used his inner strength to carry the sound so far that even the combatants standing at the end felt it was deafening.
"For our village, for our relatives, I will fight with them!" Seeing that Ye Ying's words successfully inspired the courage of the bandits, Chen Gang shouted at the right time.
"Fight them!"
