The grain carts and silver carts escorted by the officers and soldiers arrived, followed by the main guards and horses. In addition to swords, shields and spears, they were equipped with some firecrackers. After several actual combat tests, firearms equipment has been gradually rolled out in the Ming army. Well, after the firearms craftsmen first equipped the Shenji Battalion, they first supplied the Northern Frontier Army and the Northwest Frontier Army.
In addition, there were some soldiers lined up in a long line on both sides of the vehicle. Following the convoy, they advanced along the narrow mountain road. As expected by Anti-Tiandao, they were now close to the Shenyang Guard and arrived at the area with the densest concentration of guard posts. They were obviously a little lax. The soldiers exploring the road in front did not conduct vigilant reconnaissance, and the soldiers guarding the left and right did not send people to explore the dense forests on both sides.
In fact, even if they search, it is not easy to find traces of these bandits. These bandits are all experts in jungle warfare. The mountains and forests on both sides are inaccessible, and the trees have not been damaged at all. Over thousands of years, there are clusters of small trees between the big trees. There are overgrown weeds between the small trees, and the bearded men are hiding among them, lying on the ground. Even if they go a few steps away, you can't even hope to find them, let alone their hiding place is still quite far away from the mountain road between the two mountains. some distance.
"Grandma, we're finally here. These free soldiers were eating and drinking, stopping and walking along the way. It's a full day later than I expected!"
Liang Haoyao spat and leaned towards the Anti-Tiandao: "Brother!"
Liang Er, the leader of the family, has experienced many scenes, large and small, but he has never experienced a head-on conflict with nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers. Seeing the officers and soldiers in action, he felt a little nervous.
Anti-Tiandao was very calm. He looked at the team of officers and soldiers coldly, calculated the time, and whispered to Fengzhong Dao: "Tell the brothers to start approaching, be careful, don't disturb them, and let the ones in front pass." Officers and soldiers, stop and charge in!"
Feng Zhongdao nodded excitedly and dived like a snake.
After a while, the chirping of birds "Cuckoo" sounded in the forest, and Beard, who received the signal, began to quietly approach the unaware marching team.
"kill!"
Seeing that they were approaching the ranks of officers and soldiers, they had already given way to the soldiers in front. Dao Liang Haoyao shouted loudly in the wind and rushed out with his machete in hand.
"You have a beard, protect the silver car!"
"Speed up and rush out of the valley!"
"Stop where you are, cloth convoy!"
"Crossbowman! Crossbowman!"
"Shield bearers, form a formation, form a formation!"
The officers and soldiers were suddenly attacked, and they immediately became confused. Some shouted to rush out of the valley quickly, and some shouted to form formations on the spot to protect themselves. In just an instant, the bearded men rushed forward, and Liang Haoyao slashed his head with the sword in his hand. , a Ming soldier on the opposite side raised his shield in panic, and heard a "Crack" sound. The shield was split into two halves by the sword. The soldier couldn't hold back, and half of his arm was slashed diagonally. He was immediately killed like a pig. cried out.
Liang Haoyao laughed evilly, and swung his sword in the air, and a human head flew out. At the same time, the head of the sword slashed horizontally, which was worthy of a single blow.
"Bang!"
The gun went off, and a bearded man who had just rushed to Liang Haoyao screamed and fell upside down. His face had been blown into a honeycomb shape.
Liang Haoyao was startled. Fortunately, the unlucky guy rushed to his side and blocked the shot. Otherwise, the shot would have hit him in the head. Liang Haoyao laughed evilly, raised his sword, and stepped forward. He twisted his waist and rushed towards the gunman.
There was fighting and shouting in the valley. A long team of officers and soldiers was quickly cut into several broken snakes and eaten by the swarming beards. They gradually became exhausted and had to retreat to both ends of the valley to fight with those who had just reacted and rushed to the rescue.
The Ming army's brigade converged. Anti-Tiandao personally rushed to the front. While leading his most ferocious subordinates to try their best to block the Ming army's counterattack, he said to Liang Haoyao: "Second brother, hurry up!"
"Brother, don't worry!"
Liang Haoyao agreed, then jumped in front of a car, raised his saber, and shouted: "Open!"
The Ming army in the middle area was cleared the fastest. They were either killed or fled to both sides to join the large Ming army. Liang Haoyao could hardly meet any resistance. He shouted loudly and slashed with his sword, "Boom."
"With a sound, sawdust flew across the box, and the iron hoop on the box was also split open. With a loud "boom", Liang Haohui felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His arms shook violently, and he lost all consciousness. The heavy mouth in his hand
The sword that killed the horse had flown into the air and disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Haoyao found himself sitting on the branch of a big tree by the road, overlooking his brothers on the mountain road below. He could only see the scene below, and his two eardrums were buzzing.
, the sound was vague, as if coming from the sky, especially hazy.
"How miserable!"
Seeing the scene below, Liang Haoyao couldn't help but shivered, and then he realized that the clothes on his chest had exploded and were a mess of blood and flesh.
Just now, he exploded the box with his knife. The box contained the improved version of the mine that Zhu Di encountered during the Battle of Baigouhe. Liang Haoyao was lucky and was hit by the air wave caused by the explosion of the first box.
It exploded, followed by all the boxes full of mines in the entire vehicle exploded, causing the entire vehicle to fly into pieces.
The Beards who excitedly rushed to the side to get money were all blown up with their limbs flying and their intestines pierced. Immediately afterwards, a car was detonated one after another. The Beards who could not escape suffered heavy casualties. Liang Haoyao was sitting on a branch of a tree.
On the ground, the air wave from the explosion caused the big tree to sway back and forth. Suddenly, his hand sank. Liang Haoyao looked down and almost vomited.
A human head that had been blown into the air fell into his arms. There were still knotted trachea and blood tendons in the cavity, and the Tianling Cap was also cracked, and white brains were flowing out. The deceased stared at him.
His eyes were filled with astonishment, as if he still didn't understand what was going on.
"Xiao Tai! Xiao Tai!"
When Anti-Tiandao suddenly heard the violent explosion, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. A series of explosions blew up the beards in the valley, causing more than half of the casualties. Anti-Tiandao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and shouted in panic,
Then he rushed into the smoke-filled battlefield.
His son Xu Tai was also in the ranks of snatching silver carts. The anti-Tiandao had been in Liaodong for many years, and he had harmed many young girls and young wives. Unfortunately, they were all thrown away after playing with them, or were thrown to his men to be raped.
He didn't leave a son for him. He only had one son with eight meridians of blood. Anti-Tiandao was over fifty years old. Although he was still as powerful as a dragon and a tiger, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to have another son. Even if he gave birth to a son.
If he had a son, he would not be able to take care of him until he was an adult. If Xu Tai was killed by a bomb, he would basically be dead.
"Little Brother Tai is here! Little Brother Tai is here!"
Xu Ning quickly flew over and saw his son lying on the ground. Fortunately, his son had been favored since he was a child. Although he had a violent temper and was eccentric, he was always against his own people. He was a master who fought against others.
At that time, he always yelled fiercely and rushed behind, so he was most seriously injured. He collapsed there. In addition to his thigh being pierced by an exploding wooden thorn, the main reason was that he was scared.
"Dad, we were ambushed by officers and soldiers!"
Xiaotai was in terrible pain, shivering and shouting to his father.
"I know!"
Anti-Tiandao roared angrily, picked up his son, put it on his shoulders, and shouted to the thieves: "The wind is tight, it's hard to work!"
Bearded people are not stupid. Even if he didn't shout, everyone knew what happened and hid in the woods on both sides.
Leader Liang Er was sitting on a branch of a tree and shouted anxiously: "Take me, Master, cough, take me..."
It was a pity that everyone ran for their lives at this time. Liang Haoyao was injured in the abdomen and shouted softly. No one expected that there was one of his own above his head. The bearded men fled one after another. The strange thing was that the Ming troops at both ends of the valley did not pursue them.
, but a solid line of defense was set up on the spot. Anti-Tiandao Cang, who was carrying his son up the mountain, looked back in panic and became suspicious.
But now he can't allow him to think too much, and he has no other way to go. Although the bearded men fight fiercely, they are in a state of disunity. They cannot tolerate failure. If they lose, their morale will be lost. They just focus on their own escape. Who knows what it means.
According to military discipline and law, at this time he wanted to organize a decent counterattack, but it was too late to break out of the valleys on both sides.
What's more, with the explosion here, the beacon fire has been lit in the distance. The officers and soldiers from Gaizhou and Haizhou Guards Station will arrive soon. If they break out from the valleys on both sides, they will be ready to go out after a bloody battle.
Wouldn't it be a shame to meet the new force of the imperial court? But the Ming army clearly had something behind them. As soon as Anti-Tiandao thought of this, he saw thick smoke billowing in the forest, and the fire immediately started.
The Ming army went to great lengths this time to lure them into a trap. How could they be unprepared? The scouts of the Ming army noticed the whereabouts of the Bearded Men as early as when they gathered in groups near Tashan. The Ming army
The reason why they delayed for one day longer than they expected was to make time to set a trap in the dense forest higher up.
In the mountain forest, gunpowder, kerosene and other fire starters have been buried at several points. When the Beards hid in the forest, there were many snakes and insects because the gunpowder contained sulfur, which drove the snakes and insects towards them.
Their lurking point was concentrated. At this time, there was an explosion at the foot of the mountain, and the scouts hiding in the dense forest immediately lit the fire starter.
This mountain forest has existed for thousands or hundreds of years, and the thick layer under your feet is full of decaying branches and leaves. It is late autumn again, and it has not rained for a while. Once a fire breaks out, thick smoke will rise first, and for a while
Soon, the fire started. The fire was so raging that the scouts turned around and fled further into the forest. However, the bearded men who had just gone up the mountain were able to face the fire.
Go through? Don't be kidding. The fire started to burn, and the flames shot up to a height of seven or eight feet. From a long distance away, the hair and beard were curled, and the smell of burnt hair was emitted. If you rush in, you won't be burned alive.
Strangely, the Beards were forced by the fire to retreat into the valley. In the valley, the Ming army was ready with their swords and guns ready. Further away, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army's Gaizhou Guard and Haizhou Guard were swarming in.
If you don’t want to be burned to death, you have to abandon your weapons and surrender!
It's a pity that this mountain forest was burned to ashes by a fire.
However, this is still a sparsely populated area. When the vegetation recovers next spring, the place will be green again. In less than ten years, it will be lush again. At that time, who will remember the largest group of beards in Liaodong?
, were actually wiped out by thousands of trees here...
