Chapter 87: Trap

The people from their hometowns were knocked to the ground in groups, tied up with their hands behind their backs, and then strung up one by one with ropes. Yao Qian watched everything in front of him in horror, and rushed to the high place in the distance like crazy Sima Rui on the horse said, "General, general, they are all people of Dai Viet, they are all people of Dai Viet!"

Before Yao Qian could rush to Sima Rui, two soldiers rushed forward, knocked Yao Qian down, and pinned him to the ground. Yao Qian struggled and tried his best to raise his head. His head, face, and mouth were all covered with sand. "General, they are all citizens of Dai Viet."

Sima Rui chuckled, "People of Dai Viet? Are they the wives of horse bandits? Don't you know you are bullying me?" His expression changed and he said sternly: "Chen Feng is an officer of Dai Viet, rebelled and conspired, and gathered people to occupy The desert is cruel and vicious. He has repeatedly killed our people in Dayue, slaughtered villages and destroyed villages, robbed men and dominated women, and committed all kinds of evil. I, the general, have been ordered by the court to capture the traitor Shen Feng, and anyone who resists will be killed."

Yao Qian looked at Sima Rui in shock, and suddenly understood that this was a trap, a trap made by a Vietnamese border army and the Mongolian people in order to gather the Yingzuiyanma bandits. After annihilating it, now the villagers in the old nest have fallen into Sima Rui's hands. Even if Shen Feng and the others know that this is a trap, they will jump in without hesitation.

He struggled violently and cursed at Sima Rui. During the decades they had been in the desert, the Yingzuiyan Horse Bandits were better able to safeguard the dignity of the border people of Vietnam than the officers and soldiers of Lucheng. Yao Qian was furious.

Two soldiers randomly grabbed a handful of weeds from the ground and stuffed them into Yao Qian's mouth. Then they dragged him up and threw him into the group of people behind who were tied up and crouched together.

"Get ready to fight!" Sima Rui looked at the four camp generals Ding Jian, Wang Zhuang, Qu Lu, and Qiao Zifang, and said calmly: "I have received an order to annihilate the Yingzuiyan horse bandits and arrest the family members of the horse bandits."

Except for Qiao Zifang, the other three people were greatly surprised. It turned out that the so-called training out of the city was for this purpose.

Qu Lu hesitated for a moment, "General, the Yingzuiyan Horse Bandits are all cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is extremely amazing. Most of us here are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield, and the first battalion is not here. How can we deal with these horse bandits who have experienced hundreds of battles?" , I’m afraid there will be great losses.”

Sima Rui smiled softly, "It doesn't matter, just let them practice for a while, General Qu, even if those horse bandits from Yingzui Rock escape here, I'm afraid there will only be a few defeated soldiers left. Behind them, there is a huge enemy." The tent soldiers are chasing them."

"So they are joining forces with the Mongolian people?" Qu Lu suddenly realized, but there was a look of disapproval on his face. He glanced at Qiao Zifang, Wang Zhuang, and Ding Jian, and Sima Rui said calmly: "The Mongolian people signed a peace treaty with Dai Viet, and from then on As a country of brothers, they opened a forging market and traded with each other. However, this group of horse bandits were lawless and repeatedly hijacked the Mongolian caravans and disrupted the forging market. The higher-ups were extremely angry and the Mongols also wrote to the imperial court, so this alliance between the two sides was possible. Why, General Qu seems reluctant about the bandit suppression operation, haha, I understand, I heard that the first battalion had some friendship with the Yingzuiyanma bandits before?"

Qu Lu was startled, glanced at Wang Zhuang and Ding Jian, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, you misunderstood. When we were in the first battalion, we did join forces with the Yingzuiyan horse bandits to fight against the Mongols, but that was all in Under the leadership of General Feng, the two armies have never met each other, and the last general does not know any of the Yingzuiyan Horse Bandits."

Wang Zhuang and Ding Jian also took a step forward, "General Qu's words are true."

Sima Rui laughed loudly and said: "I just said it casually. You don't need to take it seriously. We will need all the generals to work hard later. After destroying this group of horse bandits, the border will be peaceful and we will be at peace."

"I will obey the general's order." The three of Qu and Lu looked at each other and knew that if they didn't exert their full strength today, they would probably make Sima Rui suspicious from now on.

No wonder the first battalion was not brought out. It turned out to be worried about this. Qu Lu lowered his head and thought.

"Everyone, let's go back to our base camp. It's almost time." Sima Rui said.

The four battalions of the Lucheng border army, with more than 12,000 men, were arranged in more than ten square formations, overlapping at different times, waiting for the arrival of the Yingzuiyan horse bandits on the desert.

When the sun had just climbed into the middle of the sky, on the distant horizon, Shen Feng led the first batch of more than two hundred horse bandits to break out and appeared in everyone's sight.

Qiao Zifang, the second battalion who stood out at the front, pulled out his horse, raised it high, and shouted: "Control!"

With a bang, the first two rows of infantrymen of the second battalion held spears and took two steps forward, holding their spears on the ground. The following rows followed closely, setting up their spears one after another, forming a forest of spears. , behind the forest of spears, long bows were raised one after another, and a platform crossbow creaked and cocked long arrows.

Shen Feng was extremely anxious. The news that Yun Zhao brought back was too shocking. The Mongols gathered an army in the Gorgos Division with only one purpose, which was to attack Lucheng. And now almost all of Lucheng's army had left the city. Once the opponent launched, Loc City will definitely be lost, and once Loc City is lost, there will be no danger to defend within hundreds of kilometers of the border fortress. Under the iron hoof of the Mongolian people, Dai Viet cannot resist it. More importantly, Dai Viet has no way to fight with the Mongolian people now. When preparing for a large-scale battle, if you are caught off guard, you will suffer big losses.

It's not that Shen Feng doesn't understand that Sima Rui in Lucheng has ill intentions towards him, but at this time, compared to the safety of the border and the tens of thousands of people in Lucheng, Shen Feng doesn't care about his own personal safety at all. He had been separated from the Dai Viet Army for decades, and was even regarded as a traitor by Dai Viet. But in his heart, Shen Feng always considered himself a Dai Viet soldier, and his actions over the years did not disgrace his identity as a Dai Viet frontier soldier at all.

Seeing the Lucheng border troops on the opposite side waiting in full formation, Shen Feng raised his hand fiercely, and more than two hundred horse bandits reined in their horses and stopped. Everyone was covered in blood. After such a long period of fighting with the powerful enemy, there was no trace of them at all. After getting some rest and running all the way here, everyone is exhausted.

"Old boss, the other party seems to have bad intentions!" Three-Eyed Tiger rode up to Shen Feng, glanced at the formation on the opposite side, and said with some worry.

Chen Feng nodded, "We are bandits, they are officers and soldiers, and some precautions should be taken. I'm going to see their commander, Three-Eyed Tiger. You and Xiao Yi are here to restrain your subordinates. You are not allowed to step forward without my order." step."

"Old boss, I'd better go!" Three-Eyed Tiger said. "I'm a little worried."

Shen Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Can your words have the weight of me? I'm worried that this Sima Rui doesn't believe it! We can only do our best and obey fate." He rode forward and walked forward.

"Be careful, boss!" the three-eyed tiger shouted from behind.

Shen Feng waved his hand at him and rode forward alone.

"Yingzuiyan Shen Feng, please see General Sima Rui of Lucheng!" Shen Feng shouted loudly.

Seeing the Eagle-billed Rock Horse Bandits staying outside the range of the arrows, Sima Rui shook his head. This Shen Feng is really cunning, but since you came alone and I caught you, are you afraid that you won't be able to outrun them? After whispering a few instructions to the left and right, he rode his horse towards the front of the front line.

"I am Sima Rui!" He stared at Shen Feng, like a hungry wolf looking at the food that was about to reach his mouth.

Shen Feng slowly approached, "I have important military information to report to General Sima!"

"Very good, I'm listening!" Sima Rui said with a smile. "Is it about the Meng people?" Before he finished speaking, two archers suddenly appeared from behind him, and they made several whooshing sounds, one of these four. The feathered arrow shot towards Shen Feng like lightning.

In order to show his sincerity, Shen Feng did not carry weapons such as bows, arrows, sabers, etc. Suddenly seeing the sharp arrows coming, Shen Feng was shocked and dodged sideways. He chirped twice, and the horse under his crotch had already been hit by two arrows in a row. He hissed sadly. He fell down, followed by several more arrows. Shen Feng, who had just jumped off the horse, screamed. An arrow hit each of his legs. His legs went weak. He immediately knelt down, supported the ground with his hands, and raised his head. Get started.

Behind Sima Rui, the two riders galloped towards Shen Feng.

The three-eyed tiger in the distance saw the sudden change. In shock, he moved his horse and shouted: "Go and save the boss!" More than 200 horse bandits shouted and rushed forward.

"Shoot!" Qiao Zifang suddenly dropped the sword in his hand. First, the powerful arrows of the bed crossbow shot through the air, and then a rain of arrows fell. Dozens of the Yingzui Rock horse bandits who rushed up were shot down immediately.

The Three-Eyed Tiger's horse was shot to death. He jumped off the horse, dragging his saber and roaring towards the dense military formation in front. By his side, Yan Xiaoyi followed closely.

Cold sweat poured down Chen Feng's face. He grabbed the arrow with both hands, screamed loudly, raised his hands, and pulled out the long arrow. Just at this moment, the two archers galloped in front of him. Chen Feng With a roar, his body rolled on the ground, and the two feather arrows in his hands stabbed into the belly of a war horse. The horse fell to the ground. Shen Feng jumped on him and grabbed the cavalryman who fell off the horse with one hand. , grabbed his saber with his backhand and put it on his neck. Another knight reined in his horse. Seeing the fat sheep he had obtained transform into a beast and grab his companion, he couldn't help but froze.

"Stop!" Shen Feng hissed.

"What a skill!" Sima Rui stood dozens of steps away and glanced at Shen Feng, "Your subordinates are brave enough."

Chen Feng turned around and looked back. The three-eyed tiger was leading his men to charge forward with difficulty against the rain of arrows. From time to time, someone fell down. With each person falling, Shen Feng's heart twitched.

"Three-eyed tiger, get back here." He roared desperately, "Go back, otherwise I will never forgive you."

"The boss!"

"Get back!"

The three-eyed tiger's eyes filled with tears, "Back off, back off!"

Seeing the Three-Eyed Tiger and others exiting the shooting range, Shen Feng turned around and said, "Sima Rui, the Mongolian army has assembled a large number of troops in the Gorgos Department."

Sima Rui sneered, "I know. Is this your major military intelligence?"

Shen Feng was startled, "You know? Then you are sending out the entire Lucheng border army?"

"The Mongolian army gathered troops in the Gorgos tribe just for you!" Sima Rui said with a smile: "But it's useless for them, I still have to clean up the mess."

Chen Feng's heart felt cold, "Sima Rui, they have gathered tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the tent alone. Are they trying to eliminate a small horse bandit like me?"

Sima Rui was shocked and looked at Shen Feng: "Scaremongering, Shen Feng, in order to escape with your life, you actually talked nonsense and lies." He grabbed a bow from the soldiers around him and pulled it open, "Don't think that If you can escape today, I will count to three, and if you don’t surrender, I will shoot you to death!”

There was a crash, and the bowstring in his hand was drawn. The cavalryman who was blocked by Shen Feng was shocked, "General!"

Sima Rui didn't seem to hear, "One!"

"two!"

Chen Feng let out a long sigh, let go of the cavalryman, and threw away the steel knife in his hand.
