139, Candle Dragon Opens His Eyes, Ghosts and Gods Open Their Bows
"Shall we solve it?"
The soldier almost thought he had heard wrongly, and when he saw Zhao Fan nodded, he couldn't help but feel speechless: "Zhao Fan, I know you are somewhat brave, but at a glance, the number of people in the group opposite is at least one or two hundred."
"And on our side, there are only nine of us, including you and me, how can we deal with the more than two hundred enemies on the opposite side?" The soldier shook his head and said: "We are outnumbered, and since this group of pirates can defeat the Beihai officials who destroyed them,
The combat power of the army is not low. If you look at the dozens of war horses next to you, even if they are about the same number, they may not be easy to deal with. What’s more, the opponent is now ten times more powerful than me."
"It's precisely because they have a large number of people and have war horses." Zhao Fan looked at his companions and said solemnly: "The captain and the others are still some distance away from us at this time. If we go back to report first, time will be lost every time.
If we delay, it's probably going to be dawn, and without the cover of night, wouldn't it be more difficult to make a surprise attack?"
"Besides, who knows if there are any accomplices of thieves nearby? If we gather people here, what will happen to the other side as well?" Zhao Fan said: "Why don't we kill a group of people tonight and capture one or two people for torture in advance?
Understand the situation in Huang County today."
"This..." After hearing this, the soldier couldn't help but hesitate. After a while, he said: 'Maybe these people are just staying temporarily and will leave after a while.'
"It's a surprise attack. Let's not talk about the victory or defeat. It will definitely not be able to annihilate them all. We only need to inform the accomplices in Huang County of some of them who escaped. Wouldn't it make things more difficult in the future?"
This is not unreasonable. Zhao Fan thought for a while and asked: "What do you mean?"
"Wait a minute and see if they can leave after eating." The soldier looked ahead and said: "This generation of bandits is known to everyone, but things have to be prioritized. We came to Beihai with the captain this time to rescue
Madam, as long as they leave this mountain pass later, just ignore it for now."
As a result, Taishi Ci's personal guard was disappointed.
After the group of people who were suspected of being pirates finished eating, following the signal from one of the people in the middle, they all lay down on the ground. Only a dozen or so people were left to climb higher with complaining expressions. They all immediately understood what was going on.
He was the person responsible for night security, and the group of people in front of him obviously wanted to stay here and had no intention of leaving.
At this time, Zhao Fan, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke again: "Lao Fang, according to the captain, this mountain pass is the only way through Huang County. Why do so many people suddenly appear and just block the front? Is it really a coincidence?
?”
"Do you think the thieves in Huang County received the news that the captain was coming back and arranged to guard this place in advance?"
Hearing this, the guard was shocked.
There is some truth to it. If calculated based on the distance, the remaining men and horses of the family will arrive here tomorrow. The mountain pass is very narrow, and it is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack area. If it is daytime and the enemy has superiority and inferiority, it is still difficult to break through.
Not easy.
Even according to Zhao Fan's guess, since the enemy has received the news, it doesn't matter even if there are fish that slip through the net. The most important thing now is to use the enemy's unawareness that they are nearby to launch a surprise attack and capture the enemy first.
Let’s talk about this mountain pass.
Thinking of this, the guard named Lao Fang immediately made a decision: "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. In this case, after an hour, when all these people are asleep..." As he spoke, his palms moved downward.
cut.
Then he added to Zhao Fan: "Zhao Fan, you are very quick. You will lead someone later. Let's get rid of their horses before we do it!"
They are all elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for many years, and have long developed full vigor and self-confidence. Even the soldiers who tried to dissuade them before actually did not really take the numerical difference too seriously in their hearts.
With calculated calculations but not care, with surprise and unpreparedness, as long as the strategy is right, it is possible for two hundred officers and soldiers to be defeated in one blow, let alone bandits and the like?
"good!"
As Lao Fang's orders spread around, they were passed on one by one, and soon everyone knew about it.
The night wind stirred the forest leaves, and the fragrance of wild flowers spread to the nostrils. In the darkness, everything was silent, except for the rustling of some hares or pheasants in the distance, which sounded.
One after another.
Under the bright moonlight, the group of pirates gradually turned from lively to quiet. The bonfire was crackling and some snoring could be heard faintly.
Seeing that the time was right, not long after, several black figures emerged from the bushes, climbing up the rocks with their hands and feet, and detoured back to the pirate sentry. Then a cold light appeared, but the sentry raised his knife and dropped it.
Falling in response.
The process was clean and tidy, without making any noise.
Seeing that they had succeeded, Lao Fang winked again. Zhao Fan nodded, and he and another soldier hunkered down and tiptoed along the stream to the side of the group of war horses. He slowly untied the reins and walked back.
Just pull, wanting to release the enemy's mounts one after another.
They were all cavalrymen. Since joining the army, they have spent most of their time with this long-faced creature that eats plants with one hoof. They are familiar with the habits. Even if it is the enemy's war horse, the process of approaching, comforting and leading away is extremely smooth. If you press
If this rhythm continues, then more than a dozen people will approach the enemy's camp at night, and then let the enemy die peacefully in their sleep one by one.
Two hundred people...it only takes half an hour.
It's a pity that there is a word in this world called accident.
After walking for more than ten steps, one of the war horses suddenly stopped and let out a long and shrill neigh for some unknown reason, breaking the silence of the night.
not good!
Just when Lao Fang and Zhao Fan felt a thump in their hearts, the pirates had woken up from their dreams. After being lost in the lake for a moment, someone took the lead in discovering their group of strangers who had suddenly appeared.
Immediately, horses and guns were exchanged, causing chaos!
"kill!"
Seeing that most of the enemies were still lost in the lake, only a few of them instinctively grabbed their weapons and jumped up one after another. Zhao Fan, who reacted the fastest, shouted loudly and took the lead, rushing into the formation.
It is a pity that the raid was not perfect, but the most important thing at this time is to strike first and seize the opportunity!
Lao Fang and other soldiers on the side also understood, and without saying a word, they took up their swords and guns and rushed into the formation together.
In just a moment, the pitiful cries were heard, and like a tiger burrowing into a flock of sheep, it not only killed a dozen people on the outside in an instant, but also continued to pounce inside without stopping.
Encountered a sudden enemy attack, many pirates looked around in a hurry, not even noticing how many men and horses the enemy had, so they fled in all directions. Some ran out, some burrowed in, some ran towards the horses, and some accidentally
Kicking the bonfire...
"Why panic!"
At this moment, a burly man with a beard walked out from the main tent and shouted, which greatly reduced the chaos on the scene. He was obviously the leader of this group of pirates, and he had great authority.
This person is also Zhang Chongyue, the leader of the Bohai group of bandits who stayed in Huang County.
Similarly, Zhang Chongyue's appearance at the mountain pass was indeed no coincidence. Through the horse scouting report, he learned that the sudden appearance of less than a hundred men and horses not far from the territory. Zhang Chongyue was relieved at first, but he did not underestimate the enemy. Instead, he thought of ambushing his subordinates first, and even more
Select this as the location.
After all, for pirates like them who have no experience in defending a city, it doesn't make much difference whether a county has geographical advantages or not.
But Zhang Chongyue never expected that although the main force of the army was still some distance away from Huang County, the sentinel cavalry had traveled more than ten miles and reached the mountain pass before dark...
Zhang Chongyue would never have imagined that the other party would be so bold that nine people would dare to launch an active attack on his army of several hundred people.
After all, he has faced officers and soldiers from Beihai and the East over the past few years. He had no idea about the bravery and courage of these two groups...
A truly strong army must completely seize the initiative.
After appeasing his men, Zhang Chongyue looked at Zhao Fan and others who were constantly killing his son, his eyes shot out fiercely, he pointed his finger and shouted: "Those little thieves who don't know whether to live or die, I will teach you today that one of them left the whole body.
I will never eat this food from the sea again!”
Hearing this, Zhao Fan and others felt not frightened but ridiculous.
Such harsh words, if the two armies are facing each other, are always said only when surrendering and before the battle. If they are said like this during a formal confrontation, won't they force the enemy's entire army to fight to the death?
I can only say that thieves are thieves, which is really stupid.
Zhao Fan was about to retaliate when he suddenly heard a whizzing sound behind him. It was the sound of an arrow piercing the air with great force.
not good!
Zhao Fan dodged without thinking, but was still hit by the cold arrow in the shoulder. Although he endured not making a cry, he was still hit by the arrow and staggered to the ground.
At this time, Lao Fang and others were ruthlessly attacking other pirates. Only the soldiers who had followed Zhao Fan and released their horses before saw this scene. Without thinking about it, they quickly rode their horses to rescue them.
When he was about to get close to Zhao Fan, he heard another whistling sound, but it was Zhang Chongyue who lowered his waist, raised his bow, and fired the second arrow again!
Then there was a scream, but the soldier was not as lucky as Zhao Fan. He was shot directly in the vital part and fell off his horse.
Seeing Zhang Chongyue's two arrows, one of the enemies was killed and one wounded. Many people around him immediately applauded and cheered loudly, even calling the leader a god in archery.
Zhao Fan thought to himself: "This kind of archery skills is not bad at best. It is barely good at all. How can it be worthy of being a god in archery? Only if you see the archery skills of Taishi Duwei, will you know the true magic of arrows."
How terrible the hands are!"
It's just that Taishi Ci is not here after all. Their team is already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Now that the raid has not been completed and there are no archers, they will continue to fight and lose more than they win.
We must not allow that pirate leader to free his hands again!
Thinking of this, Zhao Fan endured the severe pain, rolled on the ground, and reached for a piece of firewood. The firewood came from the scattered bonfire and burned brightly. He seemed to have no feeling at all, and was not afraid of burning. He grabbed it with his bare hands and turned his back
Hit Zhang Chongyue.
Zhang Chongyue was so elated at this time that he didn't notice it for a moment. He didn't notice it until the firewood came close. He hurriedly took the long bow and pushed it aside. Sparks were flying, and Zhao Fan jumped at him, and saw the light of the knife.
Like snow, coming towards you!
Are these fierce soldiers actually Beihai officers and soldiers?
Zhang Chongyue was careless and retreated continuously. While waving his long bow to temporarily resist, Zhang Chongyue was shocked and confused in his heart.
Over there, Lao Fang and others saw Zhao Fan entangled Zhang Chongyue, and continued to fight with the other pirates. It was dark at night, and they had just woken up from sleep and were in a hurry. The pirates have not yet discovered that the true number of the enemy is actually far away.
Down at home, more than a dozen people screamed in agony, blood splattered everywhere.
In fear and panic, people's hearts collapsed again. As the first person took the initiative to retreat and escape, then most of them were running away.
This time, Zhang Chongyue had no time to stop drinking.
This can't go on like this!
Zhang Chongyue discovered the truth that Zhao Fan and others were only a dozen people, but the bravery of the young man in front of him far exceeded his imagination. If this continues, after all his men have run away, the other party's companions will come up to attack.
I really need to explain it here!
Seeing that the situation was not good, he did not dare to continue fighting. He avoided Zhao Fan's sword again and threw the long bow in his hand to temporarily stop Zhao Fan's offensive. He immediately turned around and looked at the group of war horses.
He fled from the position and picked up a short blade along the way.
When he got on the horse, he immediately stabbed the horse on the buttocks. The horse was in pain and neighed loudly, as if it had escaped from the reins and galloped away in a gust of wind.
Zhao Fan, who arrived later, couldn't catch up. It was difficult to distinguish things in the dark night. Seeing that Zhang Chongyue's figure was about to disappear completely, Zhao Ping felt very upset.
This man is obviously the leader of this group of pirates. If he were to escape, all the previous efforts would be in vain...
At this critical moment, there was a sudden shout, like a thunderbolt rolling past and being sent straight away by the night wind. In an instant, it overwhelmed all the killing cries, miserable cries, and even the sonorous sound of swords clashing.
"Where to go!"
At the same time, Zhao Fan, Lao Fang, the soldiers, and even the remaining pirates in the field all let go of their hands and followed the sound.
In the endless darkness in the distance, a pair of bright eyes appeared across the sky, like a candle dragon opening its eyes, staring coldly at the direction in which Zhang Chongyue was galloping.
When their eyes locked, the ghost and god drew their bows.
The next moment, an arrow tore open a silver-gray light streak in the night and shot directly into Zhang Chongyue's back!
Then, two screams were heard in the distance almost at the same time.
But that arrow not only penetrated Zhang Chongyue completely, causing him to fall off his horse, but the momentum it carried was huge. It also caused the horse that was running at high speed to kneel down on its front legs and raise its hind legs at the same time.
, fell to the ground, and a cloud of smoke and dust filled the air.
The power of an arrow is so powerful!
Seeing this scene, the remaining pirates were all dumbfounded. They really couldn't believe that this arrow was made by humans. Some people couldn't help but looked at Zhao Fan and others and said: "You are..."
"Are you still ambushing the bed crossbow?"
Ah."
Zhao Fan scoffed and was too lazy to respond.
Not to mention such stupid thieves, when Sun Ce's general Chen Pu and those Yangzhou troops who had experienced hundreds of battles saw the captain's archery skills, weren't they also so dumbfounded and in disbelief?
Lao Fang on the side looked admiringly at the figure riding a horse with a long bow hanging on his waist, and coldly snorted: "When you offend Donglai Huang County, you don't check it carefully."
"You don't know that Taishi's unique arrow shot came from this place?"
