159 Legion of Thieves

Thirty miles south of Qu'a City, there is a large dense forest, and the official road from Biling to Qu'a happens to divide this dense forest into two, and in the dense forest on both sides, there is a large low-lying swamp.

Zhang Yan and the others were ambushed in this swamp, relying on the dense forest as a cover, hiding in the woods with intertwined branches, just waiting for Yan Baihu's army to arrive.

In addition to this, Zhang Yan also deliberately sent scouts to the front to investigate to determine when Yan Baihu's army would arrive.

This Yan Baihu is a native of Wucheng, Wu County, and he is a local hero, with a solid family and a lot of money.

In fact, his real name is not Yan Baihu, as for what it is, only he and his family know. When he was a teenager, he met a Taoist priest on the road, and the Taoist priest told his fortune and said that he was the reincarnation of the White Tiger Star.

This white tiger star is a fierce star, according to legend, it will bring disasters to people, the Taoist priest even calculated that he will not live to be thirty years old, hoping that he can follow the Taoist priest into the mountain to cultivate the Tao, to avoid disasters.

Unbeknownst to him, not only did he not listen, but he also beat the Taoist priest violently and drove him away. After that, he thought that the name White Tiger was very domineering, so he took the name White Tiger as his name, which gave him the name Yan Baihu.

Yan Baihu has liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, bullying the weak, and he is brave and ruthless, if anyone encounters him, he will be unlucky. When he grew up, Yan Baihu relied on his family's solid wealth, so he hired diners, and made friends with some fox friends and dogs.

Due to Yan Baihu's lavish spending, the family's savings have already been eaten, and in desperation, Yan Baihu led the crowd to pretend to be thieves and copy around. Then all the gold and silver treasures were transported back to Wucheng.

After the government found out. So he sent someone to track it down. After learning of this situation, he gathered a group of thieves, raided the government, killed the county commander and the county lieutenant, and simply became the county commander. Let his younger brother Yan Yu be the county lieutenant.

After that, Yan Baihu began to recruit troops and horses, both officials and thieves, and gathered the Shanyue Sect Marshal in Wu County, united with each other, and often caused trouble in Wu County.

After Liu Xiang took over the Yangzhou Assassin History, he led his troops to attack Yan Baihu once, but Yan Baihu couldn't resist it, so he had to surrender and decided to submit to Liu Xuan. Liu Miao then led the army back to Qu'a. After that, Yan Baihu became much more honest.

But. Yan Baihu was in disobedience, and Liu Miao followed Xue Li's advice and did not interfere too much in the affairs of other counties, so Yan Baihu grew up step by step.

This time, Yan Baihu heard that Liu Miao was fighting with Sun Ce in Moling, and he already had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack Qu'a, first arrest Liu Xuan's family, and then coerce Liu Miao to give way to him, and he will take over Yangzhou.

Yan Baihu first led his troops to attack and kill Wu Jun Taishou, solved his worries, and then drove the army of victory all the way to Qu'a.

However, Yan Baihu's army was all untrained thieves who liked to rob homes and houses, so wherever they passed, they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, and the people of Wu County suffered greatly and had to hide from afar.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Baihu's march is very slow.

At noon, the scout brought the news of Yan Baihu and informed Zhang Yan of all the information he heard.

After hearing this, Zhang Yan thought that Yan Baihu was leading a group of robbers, and he was even more determined in his idea of annihilating the enemy, and did not want this group of robbers to get close to Qu'a, so as not to be persecuted by Qu'a.

It was almost evening when Yan Baihu's army arrived here, and at this time, Zhang Yan's army was already impatient to wait, so when Yan Baihu's army appeared, these men who had been nesting in the swamp for almost a day were all annoyed.

What appeared in front of Zhang Yan was a group of people who were scattered. In other words, they don't have a feasible formation at all, they are in groups of three or five, seven or eight in groups, and the weapons in each person's hands are also different, at first glance, they are very eye-catching.

As they walked, they shouted loudly, unaware of their surroundings.

"Sure enough, it's a rabble!" After Zhang Yan saw this, he sneered, "Our army has just arrived in Jiangdong, so it's good for the recruits to practice with these thieves first!" ”

"Lord, do you want to attack now?" Tai Shi Ci had already been grinding his hands impatiently, and asked directly.

Zhang Yan said: "It's not the time yet, wait until it's halfway through, and it's not too late to attack." ”

So, Zhang Yan's army continued to wait there, watching Yan Baihu's thief army pass almost half of the time, with Zhang Yan's order, the Xuzhou soldiers who had already been ambushed in the dense forests on both sides of the official road immediately began to act, and shot arrows at the thieves on the official road.

Thousands of arrows shot out from the dense forests on both sides, and the army of thieves was unguarded, and suddenly came under a sneak attack, and immediately became chaotic.

At the same time, the soldiers who were ambushed in the woods on both sides rushed out in one go, shouting an inspiring shout, and the army of thieves did not know how many soldiers and horses came.

However, the Xuzhou soldiers have already rushed out, and the trained recruits, who are on the battlefield for the first time today, are full of courage, pick up the weapons in their hands, and keep slashing at this group of rabble.

The head fell to the ground, blood splattered, limbs flew around, and intestines flowed all over the ground, for a while, this place became a hell on earth, and the Xuzhou soldiers who killed for the first time, everyone's reaction was different.

Some felt nauseous because of this bloody scene, and could not suppress the churning in their chest and abdomen, and vomited directly. And some are another kind of performance, they kill people, as if they are nothing, and they feel that killing people is like killing chickens, one by one, although the whole body is covered with blood, but instead of causing him any effect, he is stimulated, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes.

It is a mule or a horse, and it has finally been effectively verified at this moment.

Fortunately, there are 1,000 elite soldiers in the army, and these 1,000 elite soldiers have played a leading role, wielding the weapons in their hands to kill people, without blinking their eyes.

Under the leadership of these veterans, the recruits also gradually appreciated the cruelty and bloodiness of war. And at this time, the thieves also began to fight back, on the battlefield where it is either you die or I die, the recruits are killed by the thieves, and the rest of the soldiers are trying to protect themselves, even if they are sick to their stomachs and feel nauseous, they have to hold the weapons in their hands and kill the enemy.

Yan Baihu's army was attacked, Xuzhou soldiers only took a short time, and Yan Baihu's army was cut into two, Tai Shi Ci led a team of elite soldiers, took the lead, took the lead, and rushed directly to the army located in the second half of the army.

Zhang Yan also led a team of men and horses to rush to the thief army, wherever the spear went, all those who came to resist were stabbed to death, and the rest of the thieves scattered in a hurry, but they were intercepted by the Xuzhou soldiers from the periphery, desperately chasing and fighting.

Yan Baihu was in the rear army, leading five hundred elite horsemen, and was walking, when he suddenly saw a panic in front of him, he asked what was going on, and when he learned that he was ambushed, he couldn't believe that Liu Miao still had so many troops.

For this reason, Yan Baihu took five hundred elite horsemen, rode forward, and met the thieves who retreated from the front, and he ordered these thieves not to be afraid, let them go back to fight, but no one was willing to obey his orders, and only cared about fleeing for their lives.

"Damn, I see who dares to run!" Yan Baihu was furious, waved the big knife in his hand, and killed a thief who had escaped, and said loudly, "You have robbed and robbed, and you have robbed and robbed, and now let you fight, you actually turned around and ran?" What a system! If anyone dares to take a step back, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Yan Baihu's voice was like thunder, shocking the four wilds, and the thieves around him were afraid of Yan Baihu, so they had to turn around and go forward to face the battle.

"Come with me!" Yan Baihu held his own martial arts and shouted, and shouted loudly at the back, and the five hundred elite horsemen followed him closely and rushed forward.

The front was congested, and the thieves were even more chaotic, Yan Baihu moved forward while stabilizing his position, gradually freeing the thieves from the chaos.

When Yan Baihu arrived at the front line, he saw Tai Shi Ci who was leading the troops to fight, he didn't say a word, slapped his horse and danced with a knife, and immediately rushed towards Tai Shi Ci, wanting to cut off Tai Shi Ci first, give the enemy a dismount, and at the same time give himself a strong momentum!

Tai Shi Ci was fighting, suddenly saw a burly man with a helmet and armor and a big sword, riding on a war horse and rushing towards him, and the person who came had a vicious face, not a good kind, stabbed a thief to death, so he grabbed the reins and waited there quietly, ready to fight him.

Yan Baihu noticed that the army fighting with him was not Liu Xuan's subordinates, but he was very curious about where these troops came from, so he shouted at Tai Shici: "Grandpa's knife will not kill the nobody, report the name quickly!" ”

"I am Donglai Tai Shi Ci! I'm here to take your head! Taishi Ciliang didn't move for a long time, but the war horse under the seat was hoofed and eager to try.

Sure enough, when Yan Baihu was about to approach, Tai Shici suddenly pulled the reins, and the war horse under the seat let out a long neigh, galloped out, and ran directly towards Yan Baihu, with a shot in his hand, he stabbed at Yan Baihu.

Yan Baihu was not to be outdone, he immediately raised his big knife and slashed, with a buzzing sound of "Zheng", the sword and gun rang out, and Yan Baihu slashed Tai Shici's spear and fell downward.

"That's it!" Yan Baihu let out a sneer, he didn't see how capable Tai Shi Ci was, as soon as he turned the handle of the knife, the blade was attached to Tai Shi Ci's spear, and then as soon as he used his strength, the blade slashed directly at Tai Shi Ci's hand along the barrel of the gun.
