810 killed Tiger Valley
"Stop!"
Wang Shuang was the first to restrain the advancing horses, looked at the Shooting Tiger Valley not far away, and shouted at the soldiers behind him.
Thousands of soldiers and horses stretched for miles, with a loaded wagon in the middle, and soldiers scattered on both sides of the wagon, accompanying the escort.
Since the whole army knew that they were escorting a large amount of gold and silver treasures, the nerves of the soldiers were very tense, and they were cautious along the way, for fear that something would go wrong.
Of course, there were also some greedy soldiers who tried in vain to rob a few carriages full of gold and silver treasures, but Wang Shuang discovered them and killed all these thieves.
Except for the 500 guards under the king's double tent who were loyal to him, the rest of the people were half-hearted, trying in vain to get a piece of the gold and silver treasures they escorted, and then fled back to their hometown with the money and became a rich man.
It's a pity that Wang Shuang watched this batch of gold and silver treasures very closely, although many people had crooked thoughts along the way, but after all, they didn't dare to act because of Wang Shuang's deterrence, not to mention that the lessons from the previous car were only a few hours away from them.
"General, the front is the Shooting Tiger Valley, as long as you cross the Shooting Tiger Valley, you can go directly to the shore of Weishui, as long as you cross the Weishui, it is equivalent to safety." One of Wang Shuang's henchmen said.
Wang Shuang nodded, how could he not know these circumstances, and it was precisely because of this that he chose to take such a path. He was very clear about his psychology, Yang Fu, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others suffered a loss, and they would definitely not let him go easily, if he chose to take a flat road, according to his marching speed, it was very likely that they would catch up. Therefore, he chose to take a more rugged road, firstly, he could use the mountains and forests to evade pursuit, and secondly, such terrain was not conducive to the use of cavalry, so as to do so. Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi's cavalry troops would not be useful, and if he took advantage of the geographical advantage, he could snipe at the enemy who came to pursue.
According to the scouts, the pursuers were still more than thirty miles away from them. Along the way, Wang Shuang also set up a lot of traps and roadblocks, and some of them even set up suspicious formations, the purpose was to delay the pursuers and buy himself a little more time.
Looking at the Tiger Shooting Valley not far ahead, Wang Shuangchang let out a sigh. It seems to be a little relieved, for him, as long as he crosses the Tiger Valley and crosses the Weishui, it is equivalent to safety. On the other side of Weishui, where Ma Gang's rangers often patrolled, there was only this last step left in front of him.
Wang Shuang glanced back at the exhausted army, and said to the big guy: "The front is the Shooting Tiger Valley, as long as you pass the Shooting Tiger Valley and cross the Weishui." When we get to the other side of the river, we are safe, everyone work harder, be sure to cross the Weishui at dusk today, to the other side, I invite everyone to eat fragrant, drink spicy! ”
After listening to this, the soldiers no longer had the excitement they had at the beginning, but they were just smiling, although it was said that the journey to shoot Tiger Valley was not long. But the road is so narrow that it is estimated that it will not be possible to get out of this valley in two hours.
The Tiger Valley was originally just a nameless valley covered with rocks, and the flying general Li Guang served as the too punctual of Longxi. Jicheng was under the rule of Longxi County at that time, Li Guang was stationed on the shore of Weishui to prevent the invasion of the Huns, the Huns were afraid of Li Guang's name, and did not dare to invade here, so Li Guang and others had nothing else to do here except training. Li Guang felt that he was too idle, so he rode out of the barracks alone. Hunting in the mountains, encountering a tiger, he shot it, and later generations named this valley after the word "tiger".
Because it is very close to the shore of Weishui, and the terrain is rugged, it is lush and green in summer, and it is easy to ambush soldiers and horses, so Li Guang drove his army into the valley and reopened it up, making it a valley where troops can be stationed, as a barrier against the Huns. Since then, the Tiger Valley has been seen in the history books and has become an important military battleground in Longyou.
"General, there shouldn't be an ambush in the Tiger Valley, right?" Wang Shuang's personal guard asked cautiously.
Wang Shuang glanced at the depressed Shooting Tiger Valley in front of him, waved his hand and said, "If it was summer now, I would definitely not choose to take this road, because the trees were strong at that time, and I couldn't see the reality in the valley at all." But now you see, what else is there besides some dead branches. If there are hidden soldiers inside, it will be visible at a glance! Besides, how could the enemy army come here after us in pursuit? Even if Yang Fu had some wisdom, he would never have thought that I would abandon the flat road and take such a rugged path. ”
After hearing what Wang Shuang said, the soldiers also felt that it was such a reason, so they didn't ask any more. However, for the sake of safety, the soldiers still suggested that Wang Shuang send scouts to the valley to investigate, and if they encountered any situation, they could respond in time.
Wang Shuang agreed to the suggestion of his own soldiers and sent two scouts to reconnoiter in the Tiger Shooting Valley, while they stayed where they were.
About a quarter of an hour later, the two scouts came back and came to Wang Shuang, as if Wang Shuang had told them everything they had seen, everything was normal in the Tiger Shooting Valley, and no unusual conditions were found, so they could pass with confidence.
In this way, Wang Shuang had no worries, gave an order, and drove his horse forward, and he himself walked at the front of the team without warning.
In the seemingly peaceful Tiger Shooting Valley, there is a murderous motive hidden, and Wang Shuang's every word and deed, every move, is seen by the people who are ambushed here.
On the rock walls on both sides of the Tiger Shooting Valley, a pair of dark eyes were watching the unsuspecting Wang Shuang's people through one small gap after another.
All this, just as Yang Fu guessed, Wang Shuang was walking into the ambush circle he planned step by step, this time, no matter how powerful Wang Shuang was, he couldn't escape.
Just yesterday, Yang Fu and the others arrived at the Tiger Valley one day earlier, and Yang Fu was still looking forward to ambushing heavy troops here, striving to annihilate Wang Shuang and the others in one fell swoop, but after he observed the field, he found that the Tiger Valley was not as easy to ambush as he imagined.
At this moment, the trees have not yet sent out tender shoots, and there are no leaves as cover, only the bare trunk, and even a small bird perched on it, can be clearly seen. If you want to ambush heavy troops here and not be discovered by Wang Shuang and others, it is simply a fool's dream.
For this reason, Yang Fu changed his strategy, and after thinking about it, he decided to use the art of retreat. Yang Fu ordered people to dig a secret passage on both sides of the Tiger Shooting Valley, so that five hundred crossbowmen could hide in it, and the rest of the people modified it outside, sealing the secret passage, ensuring that it was exactly the same as the surrounding environment. In this way, he was able to evade Wang Shuangjun's scout reconnaissance.
And Yang Fu, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others stayed away from here and hid secretly, as long as the battle in the Tiger Valley was together, they immediately killed from all directions and surrounded Wang Shuang in the Tiger Shooting Valley.
Moreover, Yang Fu has been using tricks, he sent some people to pretend to be a large army to track Wang Shuang, and always kept a distance of thirty miles, so that Wang Shuang and others mistakenly thought that it was the real army, and ignored the others.
Now, Wang Shuangzheng is leading his army step by step into the land of death, and the further they go, the closer death is to them.
On the dead branches on both sides of the Tiger Valley, a flock of crows stayed there, their eyes staring at this group of people who were dying, and from time to time they let out a chirp or two, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, a burst of arrows shot out from both sides of the road like a storm, and the sudden situation caught Wang Shuang and everyone unexpectedly, and they didn't have time to dodge, and all the sharp arrows shot towards the place where Wang Shuang was, Wang Shuang didn't even have time to shout, and even the people and horses were shot down in the Tiger Valley, and more than a dozen soldiers died with him.
"Enemy attack! There is an ambush! There is an ambush! Hurry back! Hurry back! I don't know who shouted loudly, and after seeing Wang Shuang lying in a pool of blood, he was already extremely frightened.
With this shout, the entire Tiger Shooting Valley became lively, Wang Shuang died, the army was leaderless, and the soldiers broke back one after another, scrambling to escape, but the road was only so narrow, and it became congested for a while, blocking the entire road.
At this moment, the drums of war suddenly sounded, and the shouts of killing that shocked the heavens and the earth sounded in all directions, and countless enemy troops rushed out and surrounded the place with lightning speed.
At the same time, arrows as dense as a torrential rain shot out from all directions, and Wang Shuangjun in the Tiger Valley was shot and killed, screaming and bleeding.
The exhausted Wang Shuangjun had completely lost the ability to resist, allowing the enemy to slaughter them at will, and they could not rush out, facing them only a dead end.
Yang Fu climbed a high slope and looked at the screaming soldiers in the Tiger Shooting Valley, and his heart was stunned, Wang Shuang was dead, and Wang Shuang's subordinates had nothing to fear. He had already given the order that Wang Shuang's subordinates should not be left behind, all of them would be killed, and no prisoners would be allowed.
Pity thousands of soldiers, in Yang Fu's plan, they followed Wang Shuang to die in Tiger Valley.
An hour later, the battle ended, and none of the thousands of soldiers left, all of them died in the Tiger Shooting Valley, and the corpses blocked the entire passage, and the blood gathered together, gradually forming a large quagmire, and the whole land was covered with a layer of red makeup!
"Wang Shuang is dead, it's Ma Gang's turn next!" Yang Qiudao.
Yang Fu nodded and said: "However, it is much more difficult to deal with Ma Gang than to deal with Wang Shuang, after all, Ma Gang is a veteran of the battle, and he is both civil and military, so he needs to think about it in the long run." ”
"The arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent. Even if it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, we must kill Ma Gang, otherwise, we will die without a place to bury! Cheng Yi said.
Yang Qiu glanced at the gold ingots scattered on the road and asked, "Ma Gang's matter, don't be in a hurry, now that Wang Shuang has been removed, what are you going to do with this batch of gold and silver jewelry?" (To be continued.) )
