Chapter 593 Attack on Nanling Mountain (5)
In the morning, after Jiang Xia's soldiers and the soldiers of the Youtun Guard of Yingzhou had breakfast, Jiang Xia and Huang Gou gathered their own teams together.
According to the plan discussed by Jiang Xia and Huang Gou last night, Jiang Xia and Huang Gou will each send 15,000 people, and a total of 30,000 troops will go to Nanling Mountain to suppress the bandits.
The bandits in Nanling Mountain were said to have no 5,000 people. They used 30,000 to 5,000, and were also regular soldiers and scattered soldiers. This felt like they were more or less anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes, but what Jiang Xia wanted was foolproof.
This time, Jiang Xia finally decided to go there himself. He left Xie Tengfei and others to stay in Chenzhuang and keep the food and supplies under control.
Huang Gou also decided to go in person, leaving behind his commander Lai Sanqi. After the two of them prepared the troops they were about to take out, they joined forces to walk towards Nanling Mountain.
As the leader, Ma Chunfeng naturally followed Jiang Xia and the others. However, when he set out, Jiang Xia used the excuse to protect Ma Chunfeng's safety, so he specially arranged Qian Juexing and Zhang Meng next to him.
The place where Chenzhuang is located is not far from Nanling Mountain. Even the small hill that is not far from Chenzhuang can directly see Nanling Mountain. So Jiangxia and the others only walked about half an hour before they arrived near Nanling Mountain.
The mountains of Nanling Mountain are not high or dangerous, but they are better than dense. The pine forests everywhere make Nanling Mountain look lush and lush, and the trend of the mountain is invisible.
Jiang Xia was riding on the war horse, and the expression on her face seemed a little careless, but if she observed carefully, she should be able to see that his eyes were actually always visiting everywhere.
On both sides of the road entering the foot of Nanling Mountain, there were trees. Since Ma Chunfeng saw that road, he had always had a slight smile on his lips. Because he knew very well that the road was already full of people. In addition to his own people, there were also people from Zhenshuowei. Together, they were almost 20,000.
Having said that, I believe everyone knows that Ma Chunfeng is not a villager in Mazhuang, nor is he a scholar. His real name is Ling Tianfeng, and the bandits in the entire Nanling Mountain are his subordinates. And as early as the fourth year of Jiajing, he was already a Jinshi on the list, and there was only one difference between the name of Tanhua.
Logically speaking, Ling Tianfeng should have entered the officialdom. But he was raised by the Xiao family since he was a child and was one of the slaves of the Xiao family. The Xiao family asked him to pass the Jinshi exam just to make preparations. In the end, the Xiao family gave him the order to develop the power of the martial arts world.
So Ling Tianfeng abandoned literature and followed martial arts, and began to get along with a group of gangs of gangsters in the world. He gradually became famous with his good skills and formed a force.
Maybe some people think that even if Ling Tianfeng ambushed 20,000 people on the road, he would definitely not be able to beat Jiang Xia. Because no matter how elite the soldiers in the martial arts hall were far superior to ordinary guards, just in terms of military strength, Jiang Xia brought 30,000 troops this time. 30,000 to 20,000, no matter how you look at the loser, it shouldn't be Jiang Xia.
But you should know that Ling Tianfeng has always been cautious in his actions. Without being very sure, he will not easily move. Since he dares to ambush Jiangxia on this road, he will definitely have confidence to surpass Jiangxia.
The reason why he is so confident is that Ling Tianfeng not only bribed the people from Zhenshuowei. In fact, the people from Youtunwei in Yingzhou have long been bribed by him.
If it weren't for the fact that the Youtun Guard in Yingzhou had been bribed by him, how could he have let Huang Gou and the others pass through Nanling Mountain?
"stop!"
Jiang Xia suddenly shouted, and Ling Tianfeng couldn't help but feel a little stern. Seeing that he was about to enter his encirclement, Jiang Xia's call stopped at this moment, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Jiang Xia glanced at Ma Chunfeng and asked, "Chunfeng, does this road lead to Nanling Mountain?"
Ling Tianfeng forced himself to suppress his uneasiness, and kept his face calm and saluted Jiang Xiabaoquan and said, "Report to the general, this road is the only passage to Nanling Mountain."
Jiang Xia nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he said to himself: "There are deep forests on both sides of the road, so if you go in rashly, you may be cheating. I think we'd better be careful."
After saying that, Jiang Xia ordered: "Prepare the bow and arrow!"
As soon as he ordered, the soldiers in the martial arts lecture hall immediately took out the bow and arrows and put them on the arrows. Since Huang Gou on the side did not follow the order, the soldiers of the Youtun Guard of Yingzhou took out the bow and arrows.
Jiang Xia looked at Huang Gou, and Huang Gou immediately understood and hurriedly said, "Prepare, archer prepare!"
The soldiers of the Youtun Guard of Yingzhou were also ready for bows and arrows at this moment. Ling Tianfeng probably guessed what Jiang Xia was going to do. He felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, thinking about how to stop Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia had already ordered in a deep voice: "The bows and arrows aimed at the dense forests on both sides of the road, arrows were aimed at the sky, and arrows shot arrows!"
Wow... Jiang Xia's order to shoot arrows was just issued, and the soldiers from the Youtun Guard of Yingzhou and the martial arts hall immediately shot out the arrows at the same time. The arrows were thrown into the air, and then drew an arc in the air and then fell rapidly.
Whoosh swish swish swish swish...
Arrows fell into the dense forests on both sides of the road like heavy rain, and then screams kept ringing. The originally quiet forest became lively at this moment.
When Jiang Xia saw it, she laughed and said, "Oh, it seems that there are quite a few people."
After saying that, Jiang Xia turned his head to look at Ling Tianfeng and said, "Chunfeng, I will ask you a question. You said that as soon as I arrived at Mazhuang, I happened to meet the village house in Mazhuang and was chased by someone. Then the person who was hunting was the bandits of Nanling Mountain, and then the people from the Youtun Guard in Yingzhou appeared. Then, the people from the Youtun Guard in Yingzhou meant to surrender to the current emperor Jiangxia. So many of them happened to happen, what do you think this means?"
Ma Chunfeng looked at Jiang Xia and narrowed his eyes slightly. He shook his head and said, "Students don't understand what this means, please let the general know."
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "So many are just right, which means that someone is deliberately making arrangements for these."
As soon as Jiang Xia finished speaking, his smile suddenly disappeared. He pointed at Ma Chunfeng and said to Qian Juexing and Zhang Meng: "Catch him!"
As soon as Jiang Xia said that, Qian Juexing and Zhang Meng, who were prepared, rushed towards Ling Tianfeng at the same time. However, Ling Tianfeng reacted extremely quickly. He forced his body and kicked Zhang Meng in the chest.
Zhang Meng took three steps back and stabilized his body. Ling Tianfeng's body flipped around in the air and slapped Qian Juexing with his palm. Qian Juexing fought against him and clenched him.
With the power of Qian Juexing's palm, Ling Tianfeng's body flipped in the air for two consecutive times and actually escaped.
However, before Ling Tianfeng's body landed, the bow and arrow that Jiang Xia took from a soldier beside him was aimed at him...
