Tao Jun listened, nodded and said: "Brother Kong is right, we can't let the people of Yuejiazhuang escape in the dark, we will kill them in the daytime!"
Chapter 299 Thunderbolt
"The front is Yuejiazhuang! Brothers, please look, those thieves are still practicing archery outside the village!" Kong Yanzhou pointed to a cottage in front of him and shouted.
Tao Jun and Jia Jin looked up, and they saw dozens of people dressed as villagers outside Yuejiazhuang practicing archery with straw figures.Presumably, the villagers in front of him were the ones who hid behind the wall of Yuejiazhuang and stabbed people in the back and caused a lot of trouble for him last time.
"Charge! Take advantage of the unpreparedness and kill those birdmen!" Tao Jun drew out his knife and pointed forward.
"Second brothers, I'll take the lead!" Kong Yanzhou charged forward immediately.Behind him, dozens of Moushan robbers under his command also rode their horses and followed.
When Jia Jin saw the villagers practicing archery outside the village entrance, he was really jealous. Holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, he rushed forward with more than a hundred robbers.
Tao Jun followed Kong Yanzhou and Jia Jin with the remaining 100 people, preparing to surround Yuejiazhuang outside after the two of them rushed into the village with their people to prevent the people from this village from escaping.
Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others stayed outside the village entrance to lure the enemy according to Ximen Qing and Zhou Tong's distribution.When they heard the sound of galloping horseshoes coming from the west, they knew that the Mou Shan bandit was coming.
Yue Fei and the others were so courageous that they did not retreat immediately, but pretended to be panicked and went their separate ways.Some villagers threw down their bows and arrows and ran towards the village with their heads in their arms. Yue Fei and other ten teenagers mounted their horses, bent their bows and set up arrows, as if they wanted to come up to meet the enemy and block the more than [-] robbers.
"Uncle Ximen said, don't shoot the man in the red armor in front. Let's go up and shoot a round of arrows and then retreat!" After Yue Fei instructed Wang Gui and the others, he rode up to meet the Mushan robber.
All the teenagers rode their horses to stand between the bandit and Yuejiazhuang, and when they saw the bandit Mushan came into range, they immediately shot the arrows in their hands.
I really don't know how to live or die!Just relying on these dozen or so village boys, dare to fight against my Moushan hero?A smirk appeared on the corner of Jia Jin's mouth, and he held the shield in front to protect his head and face.
However, the arrows of Yue Fei and the others did not shoot at Jia Jin, but at the little guys who rushed to the front beside Kong Yanzhou.
This time when the Mushan robbers went down the mountain, they specially put on shields in order to deal with the archers in Yuejiazhuang.At this time, the charging robbers held up their shields to cover their fronts. Except for Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian, who were young men with outstanding arrow skills and shot a few young men, all other arrows hit the shields. , did not cause much harm to the robbers.
Seeing this, Yue Fei and the others hurriedly shot another round of arrows, turned their horses and fled to Yue's village.The dozens of arrows landed on the charging group of robbers, and only three or five people were shot down, the damage is really pitifully small.
Kong Yanzhou shot forward through two rounds of bows and arrows, shouting and shouting.From the eyes of the robbers behind him, they only felt that the five-headed leader who was new to the cottage was so brave in fighting, and his aggressive appearance was somewhat similar to that of the master of the village, and they all looked at the five-headed leader Kong Yanzhou with admiration.
Tao Jun saw Yue Fei and others escaped in defeat, and excitedly shouted: "The birds in Yuejiazhuang are useless! Catch up, grab money, food, and women. Let's have fun tonight!"
The robbers were encouraged, and they all shouted and chased forward in chaos, and the team gradually formed a long snake formation.I saw Kong Yanzhou crashing headlong into the village entrance of Yuejiazhuang with dozens of his subordinates.
On a small hill not far to the southwest of Yuejiazhuang, Ximen Qing sat in the grass and watched the Mushan bandits swarming past under his nose.
After the more than 100 people led by Tao Jun also ran across the hill and rushed towards Yuejiazhuang, Ximenqing slid to the hill with a "chiliu", jumped on his mount, and said to the people around him: "Signal, Close the door and beat the dog!"
Behind this hill, a hundred cavalry and a hundred infantry were ambushed, waiting for all the Mushan robbers to pass through, blocking their retreat, and killing them from the rear.
When two soldiers heard Ximen Qing's words, they immediately climbed up the hill and blew the horns hanging on their chests.
The voice of "Woo~~Woo~~" came from the small hill to the surrounding fields.Ximen Qing led a hundred cavalry around the hill and killed Tao Jun from behind.The hundred infantry also followed closely behind with long guns. Their task was to block the gap left by the cavalry charge and prevent the Moushan robbers from escaping from the rear.
At the moment when the horn sounded, Jia Jin's team also rushed into the entrance of Yuejiazhuang Village.Jia Jin and the [-] or [-] bandits around him were at the front of the team and had already entered the alleyway of the village, while there were [-] or [-] bandits gathered at the entrance of the village behind him, slowing down their charge.
At this moment, a thunder-like sound of "The bird thief is killed!" Suddenly, a giant man in armor rushed out of a farmhouse next to Jia Jin with a hammer in his hand, and smashed him with a hammer. To Jia Jin's back.
Almost at the same time, from the front of the alley and the cottages on both sides, many soldiers in heavy armor and holding large shields and spears poured out, squeezing the 30 or [-] people around Jia Jin into the narrow alleyway, unable to advance or retreat.
Jia Jin was attacked suddenly and was frightened out of his wits.Standing on the ground on foot, he was almost as tall as Jia Jin on horseback.This giant man had big arms and a round waist, and the hammer swung in his hand probably weighed dozens of kilograms, and it hit Jia Jin's back with a frightening sound.
In this narrow place, Jia Jin who was riding a horse was not as flexible as standing on the ground, and he was completely unable to avoid the attack of the giant man.Jia Jin shook his head, shielded his back with the shield in his left hand, raised the knife in his right hand, and slashed at the giant man.He wanted to use the two-lose style of play to force the giant back and wait for an opportunity to escape.
It's a pity that Jia Jin was slow after all, the giant man ignored Jia Jin's shield behind him, and smashed it like the wind with his hammer.This hammer directly shattered Jia Jin's shield, interrupted Jia Jin's left hand, and then hit Jia Jin's vest unstoppably.
Jia Jin let out a scream, spurting blood from his mouth, and fell headfirst from his horse.The giant man was so powerful that he didn't care about whether Jia Jin was dead or alive at the moment. He raised his big foot and stomped on Jia Jin's neck fiercely. After he clearly heard the sound of Jia Jin's neck breaking, he finally Satisfied, he left, swung his sledgehammer and charged outside the village.
Although Jia Jin died tragically, none of the twenty or thirty subordinates he brought in could escape.The heavy armored infantry who came out from all around smashed all the robbers into a hornet's nest, leaving no one alive.
It was the "Jiang Gate God" Jiang Zhong and the Yanzhou heavy infantry led by him who ambushed in the farmhouse at the entrance of Yuejiazhuang Village.If the horse-riding bandits like Mu Shan could barely be called light cavalry, the heavy infantry of Jiang Menshen happened to be their nemesis.
Jiang Menshen came out of the village with hundreds of heavy armored infantry, and he was invincible. He killed Jia Jin's remaining dozens of bandit minions until they cried and broke into an army.
Chapter 300 Even a ghost will never let you go
When Jia Jin was fatally hit by Jiang Menshen and his subordinates were also defeated, the bandit team led by Tao Jun also fell into chaos.
When the sound of ox horns was heard from the small hill, and the war drums were also beating in Yuejiazhuang, Tao Jun knew that this time he had fallen into the schemes of these peasants in Yuejiazhuang.
When Tao Jun was still about to muster up Yu Yong and lead his troops to compete with the mud-legged people in Yuejiazhuang, Ximen Qing led a hundred cavalrymen with helmets and armor from the side and attacked them. A large number of armored infantry also poured out from the entrance of the village and surrounded Jia Jin's men.
Looking at these armored cavalry and infantry who were even more fierce than his Moushan bandits, Tao Jun was really dumbfounded.Zhiniang thief, where did the mud legs of Yuejiazhuang get these soldiers?This army that fell from the sky is much more powerful than the Forbidden Army of Xiangzhou City that they fought against before. Could it be the Central Forbidden Army from Bianliang, Tokyo?My Mou Shan's career has become so big that the imperial court has sent troops to suppress it?
"Three-headed, four-headed, and five-headed are all in danger, what should we do?" A confidant next to Tao Jun asked in panic.
How could Tao Jun not see what his confidantes saw.He saw with his own eyes that Kong Yanzhou led dozens of robbers into Yuejiazhuang, and when Jia Jin followed into the village, he was killed by a giant man lying in ambush beside the road.Look at this appearance, Kong Yanzhou and his dozens of subordinates must also fall into an ambush, narrowly escaped death.
"It's all because of Kong Yanzhou and Jia Jin's bravery and lack of plan, which caused us all to fall into a trap! Little ones, follow me, Tao Jun, and I will take you out!" Tao Jun had completely forgotten that the order to charge was I sent it by myself, Jia Jin and Kong Yanzhou are dead at this time, if we don't push the blame on them, when will we wait?
Tao Jun naturally did not expect that in front of the gate of Yuejiazhuang, Kong Yanzhou not only survived, but also personally killed more than a dozen robbers, and cooperated with Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others to wipe out all the dozens of robbers who brought him into Yuejiazhuang .When Tao Jun and his subordinates were thinking about how to break through, Kong Yanzhou had already been invited by Yue Fei to dismount and went to Yue's Manor for tea.
How many soldiers were hidden in the Yue Family Manor, Tao Jun didn't dare to lead all the robbers to attack the heavy armored men with big shields and spears led by Menshen Jiang.He turned the horse's head, and the shining sabers of Ximen Qing's cavalry also made him terrified.Tao Jun didn't dare to hesitate a bit, and immediately led his people to retreat to the north, trying to escape through the gap in the north before Ximen Qing and Jiang Menshen encircled him.
"Where is the bird thief running!" A group of cavalry also rushed out from the small forest to the north, blocking Tao Jun's way.At the head, a tall man with a machete in his hand went straight to Tao Jun to kill him.
Tao Jun gritted his teeth and rushed forward to fight with that man.As soon as Fang fought, Tao Jun secretly groaned, the man was not only powerful, but also his sword was like the wind, and his moves couldn't leave Tao Jun's vital points. Tao Jun only managed to protect himself completely by being protected by a shield.
In an instant, the two exchanged more than ten moves. Tao Jun saw that he was no match for this man, and his subordinates could not kill the cavalry led by this man.
"Cowardless bird thief! Take the knife from the master!" The big man chopped a robber to death with a single knife, and rode his horse to pursue Tao Jun.
This big man was "faceless" Jiao Ting. Ximen Qing asked him to take a hundred cavalry and two hundred local infantry recruited by Zhou Tong to ambush in the grove to block and kill the bandits who fled north.
When Jiao Ting first joined Ximen Qing, he was only good at foot fighting and not good at horse fighting. Once in Dulonggang, Hu Sanniang, Hu Cheng and Hu Yong from Hujiazhuang played tricks on him, and snatched Ximen Qing in front of him.Afterwards, Jiao Ting realized his shame and acted bravely, and Ximen Qing also made demands on him. He followed Ximen Qing and others to learn the art of riding and fighting for a long time, and finally achieved a little success.
Tao Jun was defeated and fled. The bandits under him were no match for the Yanggu County cavalry like Ximen Qing, and their morale was even lower at this moment.
After a while, the troops led by Ximen Qing, Qiao Yun, Jiao Ting and Jiang Menshen surrounded Tao Jun's remnant soldiers from the east, north and west, like a pocket, leaving only a gap in the small river to the south .
"Five steps down" Tao Jun is cruel and ruthless, and people describe him as a poisonous snake.But now Tao Jun is like a bereaved dog, he doesn't have the prestige of a bandit leader.
Seeing that Ximen Qing and the others were surrounded on three sides, and most of his men were killed by them, Tao Jun was heartbroken. He only hated that the horse he was sitting on didn't have eight legs.Although there was still a gap in the small river to the south, he could escape by wading through it, but Tao Jun no longer dared to hold too much hope.
These officers and soldiers are well-arranged, how can there be such an obvious loophole in the ambush they set up?Tao Jun was not a fool, he knew in his heart that it was impossible to escape so easily.However, due to his survival instinct, Tao Jun had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush towards the small river in the south when he could not break through in other directions.
Ximen Qing and the others led a team to hide behind and cut off the sporadic robbers who had fallen behind, but they did not gallop at full strength and fought with Tao Jun's remaining dozens of robbers, but pulled some distance away from them.With this appearance, it was clear that they wanted to drive Tao Jun and the others into the river.
Although Tao Jun knew something was wrong, he would die if he turned around. At this time, he had no choice but to rush into the water from the bank of the river, wading to the other bank.The water in this small river was not deep, it only flooded to the belly of the horse. Although the bottom of the river was muddy and difficult to walk, it was still possible to cross it on horseback.
Just when Tao Jun was crossing the river with anxiety, the scene he least wanted to see appeared.I saw a tall, long beard and chest-length veteran, holding a bow and arrow, riding a horse on the opposite river bank. "I am 'Iron Arm' Zhou Tong, why don't the thieves get off their horses and die?" The old general's angry voice echoed on both sides of the river.
Zhou Tong?Didn't Kong Yanzhou say that the old bandit was dying of illness?Why is he so fierce?
Tao Jun's heart moved and he understood a little bit. He turned his head and cursed in the direction of Yuejiazhuang: "Kong Yanzhou, you scum of the world, shameless villain! Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"
