Volume 1 The Milk Tiger Roars Valley, and the Beasts Are Terrified! Chapter 11: The Dart Master and the Forbidden Army
What should I do if I run out of food? For ordinary people, it is a common choice to sell some things and exchange the money they get for some food. For robbers, going down the mountain to rob passing caravans was a common choice.
Shen Cheng is a robber, a robber on the South Mountain. His identity is not just an ordinary robber, he is also a small bandit leader on Nanshan.
While the minions were wearing rudimentary leather armor, he was wearing iron armor that had been ripped from the officers and soldiers.
Minions use everything, but most of them still find a blacksmith who can fight with a knife, and the good and the bad are mixed. And he used a well-crafted iron slip, more than three feet long.
Two months of low-key life made the food stock in the Nanshan robber village quickly depleted, and in the face of this situation, even if the big boss wanted to observe the movements of the new governor for a while, he had to send someone down the mountain to rob. If there is no more robbery, the entire Nanshan bandits will be destroyed by internal strife.
If there are too many people, it is difficult to manage, and the big boss is quite bored about this. I caught a scholar as a dog-headed military advisor to plan the daily life of everyone in Nanshan, but it turned out that this was a spy from the government. After killing him, the big boss had to do everything big and small on the mountain, which made him not know where to start.
But these things, don't think about them for the time being. There is not much food in the mountains, and this is a big problem.
So he sent Shen Cheng and Zhang Qi to get up early and go down the mountain to squat on this sunny and sunny day.
Shen Cheng doesn't like Zhang Qi, this person is too greedy, no matter what it is, it will always be one or two percent less after passing through his hands. Not only does he dislike Zhang Qi, but most of the people in the village don't even like him. However, the second boss favored him, even if he sued the big boss, and the second boss defended him.
A few days ago, Shen Cheng also had a quarrel with Zhang Qi, and the irascible Shen Cheng couldn't help but make the first move, but was stopped by Ma Ping, the second master's subordinate.
Shen Cheng's skills are not the top among the Nanshan pirates, but he can also rank first. Na Ma Ping is also a general under the second master, and the two fought for a few rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, and with the mediation of others, the matter was extinguished. But this time, the big boss sent himself out to rob him together, and Shen Cheng actually held back a breath of anger in his heart.
The ambush location of the Nanshan bandits is on the right side of the official road, which is relatively close to Nanshan, so if something goes wrong, it is better to flee back to the mountain as soon as possible. Although there have been a few accidents over the years, at the beginning, the Nanshan thieves did this, and over time, it became a common practice.
When Shen Cheng was ambushed on the side of the road today, he found that the movement on the opposite side of the official road was not quite right. At least there had to be some sound, but now there was no sound at all, only the knowledge kept screaming.
However, Shen Cheng didn't think much about it, mainly because Zhang Qi's side was too annoying.
Generally speaking, this is what Nanshan robbers look like when they rob.
The first team of people who have been ambushed must let them go. When they get to the place, the second team will jump out and block the way. After the second team in the block jumps out, the first team jumps out to intercept the back lane. If it is in the opposite direction, the first and second teams will consciously switch identities.
It is common sense that everyone lies in ambush in their respective positions, no one is seen, no sound is made.
Zhang Qi is the first team and is responsible for intercepting the back road, but he is also responsible for putting people on Shen Cheng's side. But Zhang Qi and his subordinates are very noisy now, and after two hundred steps, Shen Cheng can still hear Zhang Qi's voice.
This guy treats robbery as a stepping out? The roots of Shen Cheng's hated teeth itched, and he kept shouting with a loud voice, who would dare to come over? Isn't that telling people that I'm in ambush ahead?
"Brother Cheng, this Zhang Qi is not a thing, he is so tormented, how can we rob people today."
A minion spit out the grass root in his mouth and complained to Shen Cheng.
Shen Cheng shook his head and said, "Just leave him alone, if you return empty-handed today, when you go to the big boss, just tell him the truth." I don't want to blame us for coming to the big boss, what kind of thing this Zhang Qi is, everyone in the village knows it in their hearts. ”
"Dog, a few days ago, I also forced my mother-in-law under him, if it wasn't for the second master to protect him, I guess he would have been hacked to death by his own men."
Shen Cheng sneered, looked at Zhang Qi's direction and said, "In the whole village, the leader of the thirty-third is the weakest. With two mouths, he got one, and when he encountered a harder idea, he taught him a dog's day crying dad and calling his mother. ”
Then there was a curse on Zhang Qi, and then Shen Cheng hurriedly made a silent gesture, and he heard the movement of a carriage not far away.
The minions immediately fell silent, and sure enough, not far away, they saw a carriage swaying towards them. From this direction, Shen Cheng has become the first team, but Zhang Qi is the second team.
At this time, a caravan, walking in the front was a carriage, which did not seem to be carrying people, otherwise the rut marks should be deeper. He was followed by a few dart masters wearing leather armor and holding a simple knife or long sword. The goods carried on the cart pulled by the ox in the middle made Shen Cheng's eyes red, this is the most scarce grain on the South Mountain.
Further back, a strong man on horseback, wearing iron armor that protected his chest and back, and a weapon wrapped in coarse cloth in front of him. It looks very long, about four or five feet long.
Hard bits. Shen Cheng felt a little hot in his heart at the moment, and the hand holding the iron shovel became slightly trembling. He came to be a robber, and the more important reason was that he liked the feeling of fighting people.
The dart master of Changhong Dart Bureau is his old friend. This is the biggest dart game in Runzhou, and it has always been a mutual victory and defeat with the Nanshan thieves, but Shen Cheng has not tasted defeat under them.
When he saw the carriage, Zhang Qi's side had already quieted down. The carriage continued slowly, and the guy on the horse kept glancing around, the sun shining on him, sweat trickling down his head.
There were twenty-six men in all, twelve of them were swordsmen, seven were swordsmen, and including the man on the horse, there were twenty dart masters in all. The other six people, presumably all from the caravan, had little combat effectiveness.
Letting the carriage pass in front of him, Shen Chengchong made a gesture to his subordinates.
The carriage gradually passed, and Zhang Qi jumped out with a loud roar. At the same time, his men also jumped out and shouted. Shen Cheng also jumped out with his subordinates and stopped behind the convoy. Without saying a word, he threw it at a guy with a knife in the back.
Nanshan thieves and robberies never left a living mouth, what is this tree is planted by me and other slogans, they have not shouted once. No one taught them the truth that the wool comes from the sheep. Every time, they only think about killing people and robbing all the goods.
"It's the Nanshan Bandit!"
The dart head on the horse roared, and several dart masters below also quickly formed a formation, surrounding the six panicked people in the middle of the cart.
At this moment, the head of the dart jumped off the horse, ripped off the coarse cloth wrapped around the weapon, and slashed with a sharp blade. The saber appeared in the eyes of everyone.
As soon as the dart head swept his eyes, he saw Shen Cheng, who was the most capable of fighting. With a swing of the saber, it slices the chest cavity of a minion who pounces on him. Blood gushed out, the dart head roared angrily, and strode towards Shen Cheng.
See Chop. At the moment of the saber, Shen Cheng was shocked in his heart. This thing is not something that ordinary people can use. The saber is something that can only be used by the army, and it is not allowed to be used by the Xiang army and the township soldiers, which is one of the weapons of the forbidden army.
Shen Cheng chuckled in his heart, and his full fighting intent was immediately reduced by half. If the imperial court is really determined to exterminate the Nanshan bandits regardless of the loss, it is very likely that this forbidden army will come to carry out this task.
At this moment, the fierce battle of the Pu Daoshou suddenly moved forward like a madman, and caught the Nanshan thieves who rushed up with a screaming monster by surprise. Zhang Qi saw a group of subordinates screaming and falling to the ground, not caring whether he would hurt his own people, he ran to the back in three or two steps, and shouted hoarsely to the archers to release the arrows.
The sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air was endless, but the arrows clanged when they hit the dart masters. Zhang Qi was horrified, this group of people even wore a layer of iron armor under the leather armor.
This is not the dart master of Changhong Dart Game at all!
When Zhang Qi and Shen Cheng realized this, it was already too late, and the more than two hundred Nanshan thieves they brought down, except for a dozen archers, the rest had already rushed out. Dressed in tattered armor and carrying knives, he screamed and rushed towards the caravan.
They have seen a lot of dart masters in the Changhong Dart Bureau, and the Nanshan Thieves and the Changhong Dart Bureau are sworn enemies. For so many years, there have been many dart masters who have died in the hands of Nanshan thieves, but there will only be more Nanshan thieves who have died in the hands of dart masters.
The enemy was very red when he saw him, of course, this was just Nanshan's own enemy. The other party was just treating them like fish on a pile of boards, cutting the piece of meat to the slag in a way they had practiced countless times.
The head of the dart is held with both hands to chop. The hilt of the saber, with a roar of anger, slashed at Shen Cheng's head. Shen Cheng hurriedly put the iron shovel horizontally in front of him, and this knife was slashing right on top of the iron shovel.
The strength of the dart head is too great, and it is combined with the already heavy chop. Sabre, Shen Cheng's hand holding the iron shovel was numb from the shock. The tiger's mouth hurt, and he almost didn't throw the shovel out of his hand.
Seeing Shen Cheng's embarrassed appearance, the dart head laughed fiercely, raised his head and yelled at the sky: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!" In Shen Cheng's horrified gaze, a group of Song soldiers wearing iron armor suddenly appeared from the other side of the road, and the weapons in their hands were either dropped knives or phoenix mouth knives.
Shen Cheng fell into an ice cave, and these weapons fell in his eyes, confirming his guess. These soldiers disguised as dart masters are not the Zhenjiang army like soft persimmons at all, but the forbidden army!
