First, there was a burly man holding two steel rings, one large and one small. He was obviously the leader of this group of horse thieves. He held the reins and shouted loudly: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree..." "Kill them, don't bury them."

He was really a robber, and he shouted out such clichéd classic cuts. Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but feel angry and funny when he heard that.

A commander in front of the army shouted sternly: "Who are you to dare to block the march of the bandit army? Do you want your life?"

The leader of the thieves said: "This king is the leader of the 'Henan Underworld Alliance', Chu Changting, his brother Chu Duantai. Please hurry up and hand over the money to buy the road. Each of you can't have less than fifty taels and one penny. Otherwise, My Majesty will lead the Black Eagle Cavalry and send all of you dog officers and soldiers to see the King of Hell."

Chu Changting's brother Chu Duantai Zuo Liangyu was shocked again when he heard this [

Chu Changting is the leader of the underworld in Henan Province. Zuo Liangyu has heard people say it and knows that he has fifty Black Eagle Knights under his command. He is notorious for his ferociousness. Chu Changting was killed in the battle of Taohuayu only a few days ago. The news has not yet been released. Reached Zuo Liangyu’s ears

This time Zuo Liangyu led the army to rescue Fugui Villa. His uncle Zuo Junhua mentioned in his letter that the underworld's "Tianxia Alliance" was helping him, but he didn't expect that a Chu Duan who blocked the road and robbed him ran out here. Tai actually claimed to be Chu Changting's brother

On the top of the mountain hundreds of feet away, Hua Bushi and others were also looking at the situation at the bottom of the mountain.

Chu Yiyi couldn't help but giggled and said: "Let Liu Yuanhe pretend to be the leader of the bandits. It's such a bad idea. You can't think of it. You can also ask those white people to pretend to be Black Eagle Knights. Even the armor is not neat. Zuo Liangyu will definitely be able to see the flaw." "

Hua Bushi smiled and said: "Elder Liu has great martial arts skills and a strong figure. There is no more suitable candidate than him to pretend to be the leader of a thief. This happened in a hurry. Where can I find these many sets of heavy armor? I can only make do with it anyway." As long as the names of Chu Changting and Black Eagle Xiaoqi are announced in public so that many people can hear that no matter whether Zuo Liangyu suspects him or not, we can still make the 'Underworld Alliance' take the blame for us."

Yang Sichang also smiled and said: "Zuo Liangyu has always been competitive. He was the most powerful general in the dynasty. Today he was robbed by a group of underworld bandits and suffered a big loss. When he returns to the capital in the future, he will be ashamed to tell others about us. That way there won’t be any future troubles.”

Zuo Liangyu, who was down in the valley, couldn't hear Yang Sichang's comments to him. He only waved his hand and shouted: "General Huang brought twenty cavalry over to drive away these grass bandits."

On a normal day, Zuo Liangyu would have marched up with his troops and killed all these horse thieves who dared to block the road. But today, he was in a hurry to rush to Fugui Villa and secondly, he heard that the other party claimed to be Chu Changting's brother. I don't care whether it was true or not. It is not convenient to kill them all

In his opinion, this group of thieves who didn't even have uniform armor sent out twenty elite riders, which was enough to give them a taste of the power.

But this time Zuo Liangyu's judgment was wrong. Although these horse thieves were disheveled and shabby, their strength was definitely not weak.

General Huang obeyed the order and immediately ordered the twenty heavy riders in the front team to shout and charge towards them.

However, just as they rushed in front of the group of horse thieves, they saw the leader of the thieves leaping up from his horse into the air with a sharp roar, swinging out an iron ring in his hand and hitting the head of the general named Huang.

Liu Yuanhe was the dignified elder of the "Arhat Sect" and a famous hero of Yujing Baidao, but this time he wanted to dress up as a horse thief and do this little thief thing of cutting trails and robbing people. He felt ashamed and angry inside. When Hua Bushi proposed it earlier, Liu Yuanhe was determined not to do it, but The evil dog master took out the instructions from his senior brother Fang Changsheng and claimed that Zuo Liangyu's men would not be able to be stopped otherwise, and Yuan Xi's persuasion made him reluctantly agree.

Liu Yuanhe memorized the previous incision completely according to what Hua Bushi taught him word for word. Even though he opened his mouth to say it, he felt extremely useless. At this moment, when he saw the yellow handler charging straight towards him with a group of cavalry, he immediately turned his head. All the anger was vented on these officers and soldiers.

Liu Yuanhe usually doesn't use weapons. The double ring is extremely difficult for him to use. However, with his strong internal strength and martial arts skills, he can use any weapon with great power. This volley attack has an amazing momentum. Huang Bangzong is just a low-ranking official in the army. How can a high-ranking general resist it?

In the muffled sound, the two rings hit his forehead at the same time. The iron helmet was smashed and flattened. Mr. Huang didn't even have time to shout out, and he was immediately knocked off his horse and lost his life.

At this time, the rest of the officers and soldiers had also rushed forward, but they saw that the forty or fifty horse thieves with crooked armor were also coming towards them with weapons in hand. These "horse thieves" were all selected from dozens of martial arts sects. Even if they can't defeat the top masters, they are still more than enough to deal with these officers and cavalry.

The swords clashed with each other and screamed. Within a moment, twenty cavalry officers and soldiers were knocked off their horses. The last officer and cavalryman saw that the situation was not good and quickly pulled out his horse and fled back. Suddenly, a cold light flew from behind him. It was Liu Yuanhe who threw a steel ring out

The cavalryman who was in the middle of the steel ring screamed and was hit by the huge force contained in the ring. His horse flew forward more than two feet before he fell to the ground with a "bang" and died [

Seeing this cavalryman being killed in front of his horse, Zuo Liangyu's face turned livid with anger. He could also see that the horse thieves opposite him were all equipped with martial arts skills, and they were not as unbearable as they looked on the outside. Only forty or fifty people dared to openly show off their brutality in front of his two thousand troops. It was simply audacious.

Now he didn't care whether the other party was Chu Changting's brother or not and shouted sharply: "The former army officers followed the order and charged in a wedge shape to kill the horse thieves."

There is an open space in the middle of the hillside on both sides of Duanlong Gorge, but it is more than ten feet wide. There is enough space for the cavalry to charge.

Just now, I really underestimated the enemy. The twenty cavalry rushed up without forming a formation, and were ridden by the opponent. Zuo Liangyu's front team had a total of five hundred heavy cavalry, and the power of the charge was extraordinary. Even if all of them are highly skilled in martial arts, they will never be able to resist the horse thieves.

As expected, the horse thieves saw the heavy cavalry charging and did not dare to respond to the enemy. They immediately turned around and fled into the valley. They ran faster than rabbits. Zuo Liangyu was not willing to let them escape. He shouted loudly and ordered the front army to pursue the five hundred cavalry. They rushed forward and followed the horse thieves. Go down

However, just as this horse-chasing rabbit drama had been going on in the canyon for a long time, something unexpected happened. The team rushed to the middle of the canyon with heavy cavalry, only to hear a loud sound of gongs. There were loud shouts of killing on the hillsides on both sides of the canyon, and counting of rocks and logs. Smashed it

There was an ambush

The hillside in the valley is not steep, so it is not suitable for an ambush. However, these logs and stones rolled down the hillside with great momentum. The officers and cavalry who rushed down the hillside picked up their reins and rode their horses to dodge. There was inevitably a chaos, and everyone was blocked in the valley.

But the forty or fifty horse thieves who had been fleeing earlier actually turned their horses and galloped back. They did not rush straight to the solid part of the official formation, but passed by the cavalry on both sides who had fallen into chaos. Taking advantage of the "chaos" to fight, he cut down more than ten soldiers in a blink of an eye.

Zuo Liangyu did not join the army in the charge, but he could see clearly from the rear of the team that there were actually a hundred or ten people ambushing each other on the hillsides on both sides. They rolled the rocks and logs that had been prepared down the hillside. These people had previously been hiding in the grass and now they appeared. Everyone wears black cloth covering their faces, which is also the attire of a gangster.

"The garrison team of Team C followed the order and rushed up the hillside from both sides to kill the ambushed thieves," Zuo Liangyu shouted.

Because the hillside is not steep, although it is difficult for the horses to charge at full speed, they can still climb it. The two teams of officers and soldiers ordered by Zuo Liangyu each had a hundred riders. After hearing the order, they immediately rode their horses to surround the hillside.

The bandits on the hillside were all rabbits. When they saw the officers and soldiers surrounding them, they turned around and ran away very fast, shouting, "The wind is so tight!"

The woods at the rear and the woods behind the hillside are quite dense. It is difficult for the heavy cavalry to enter if they want to.

There were ambushes on both sides, and the official cavalry who attacked the center of the valley finally had the opportunity to assemble. However, when they gathered their troops and got into position again, the bandits on horseback also turned around and fled.

The chaos in the valley continued. During the tea time, more than 30 official cavalry were killed, 20 or 30 people were injured, and dozens of horses were injured by rolling stones. Although these casualties were not significant for the two thousand army,

It’s serious, but it’s a real loss of energy.

Seeing all this, Zuo Liangyu felt as if he had swallowed a belly full of charcoal, and his whole body was about to explode with anger. He prided himself on being brave and good at fighting. Even that day in Liaodong when he fought with the Manchu and Qing cavalry, he also suffered such a frustrating loss.

What's annoying is that those bandits took advantage and ran away, but they lost one person.

This time, Zuo Liangyu, who was ordered to lead the army to suppress bandits in Henan Province, originally thought that the people he was going to fight were just a group of peasants with mud-legged peasants who were not worth mentioning at all. However, he thought that after taking Biluo Mountain Stronghold in the first battle, he inexplicably lost 300 heavy cavalry until

We still don’t know who the attacker is.

It doesn't matter that he was not present at that battle that day. Today, he personally led the army, but he was still defeated by a group of bandits. He was beaten, suffered a loss of face, and if this matter spread to the capital, others might laugh at it. "The Great Ming Dynasty"

The title of "A Fierce General" can be regarded as a loss.

Just as Zuo Liangyu was gnashing his teeth, he saw a soldier galloping up to him and reported: "General Zuo found a piece of wood in the middle of the road ahead with a line of writing on it."
