Chapter 318 Good-for-Nothing
The men who served as the vanguard generals of the Crown Prince of Qi were the unlucky guys who had a conflict with Wu Song and were severely beaten that day, Hong Tong and Wang Han.
After the incident, Chai Jin's behavior made the two of them feel a little chilled, but they still remembered the latter's kindness.
No, Hongtong Wang Han made up his mind to exchange the heads of these bandits for the chance to advance.
"Brother, I heard that thousands of people gathered in Taohua Mountain. Do you and I want to camp on the spot and wait for the prince to arrive before making a decision?"
Hong Tong wanted to be a few years older than Wang Han, so he called himself his elder brother.
Wang Han was also happy to flatter him and look forward to Hongtong.
When Hong Tong heard what Wang Han said, he had a look of disdain on his face. He obviously didn't take the Peach Blossom Mountain bandits seriously.
He smiled and patted the latter's shoulder and said: "Xian brother, they are just a bunch of rabble. With the abilities of you and me, are you still afraid of them?"
As everyone knows, the world has changed.
Nowadays, the bandits in Shandong are more and more rampant than the others.
Hearing what Hong Tong said, Wang Han also cheered up.
If these two pioneer officers could defeat this gang of thieves before Chai Jin arrived, wouldn't they be able to accomplish great feats?
"What my brother said is true!"
After discussing it, the two continued to march towards Peach Blossom Mountain.
I plan to seize the time and test the authenticity of the Peach Blossom Mountain bandits.
If the bandits are difficult to deal with, they can retreat calmly and report to Chai Jin.
However.
These two people never expected it.
This Peach Blossom Mountain bandit had known the whereabouts of the two of them for a long time, and still had the courage to take the initiative.
Although Hongtong Wang Han said that his martial arts skills were good, he did not know the art of war.
I don’t know that if we are exhausted from such a long journey, we should set up camp as soon as possible to recuperate our energy.
But the Qi vassal soldiers who followed Hongtong and Wang Han were miserable.
One by one, they walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, and before they could even take a breath, they were ordered to go up the mountain.
Although Taohua Mountain is not a dangerous place, it does have rolling hills and rugged roads that are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Otherwise, the bandits would not be entrenched here.
Just looking at these soldiers, their mouths were dry and their tongues were dry, and they were panting.
This scene made the junior generals in Qi Fan's army feel anxious.
They were all promoted by Chai Rong, and they were definitely not comparable to laymen like Wang Hanhongtong.
However, the opponent was a pioneer officer, so several generals had to go to Hong Tong and ask if the soldiers were tired and could rest for a while before continuing up the mountain.
But he didn't expect that what he would get was Hong Tong's scolding.
"I think you are lazy and timid. If you delay the prince's important events, be careful with your skin!" Hong Tong scolded him coldly.
The group of generals below dared to be angry but dared not speak out, so they had no choice but to retreat.
Only one of the hundred generals was not angry and muttered: "If the enemy attacks at this time, how can the soldiers resist it?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If the enemy is really coming to attack, you and I can just find an opportunity to take the soldiers down the mountain. Anyway, if the prince pursues the case, these two will be the ones to blame." An old general looked on with cold eyes and ordered in a low voice.
Hearing this, several hundred generals looked at each other and nodded knowingly.
Hong Tong, who didn't know that his subordinates were already angry with him, still wanted to chop off the head of the bandit leader and claim credit with Chai Jin.
Little did I know.
There were countless mountain bandits huddled in the beast's path in the mountains, staring at them.
Zhu Wu looked at this group of officers and soldiers who were eager to die, and he was overjoyed and secretly thought, God help me.
Seeing that this group of officers and soldiers were exhausted, even if they really fought, they would lose 50% of their strength.
The time has come!
Just when Wang Han of Hongtong led his army into a mountain stream slope.
Suddenly I heard a strange cry from the valleys on both sides.
Immediately, raindrops of rocks and rolling wood fell from above.
"No, there's an ambush!"
Even if Hong Tong is a fool, he knows he is being attacked.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
Yang Chun looked at the officials who were in chaos and was overjoyed.
The bandits in Peach Blossom Mountain naturally don't have strong bows or crossbows, so the so-called archers are just a bunch of hunters.
But a wave of hundreds of arrows shot down was enough to bluff people.
In addition, the soldiers of Qi Fan had lost their morale, and they were scurrying around like headless flies.
It's ridiculous, that Hongtong Wang Han is still shouting to respond to the enemy, respond to the enemy!
But behind them, there were seven or eight hundred generals who had summoned their subordinates, gathered in formation, and began to retreat.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Yang Chun spat on his hands, picked up two hundred-forged snowflake steel knives, and rushed down the mountain stream.
"Does that officer dare to fight with me?!"
Hongtong Wang Han was caught off guard. Just when he was upset, he saw a thin man running over and shouting. He was really angry.
"Brother, let's see my little brother behead that thief!"
Wang Han slapped his horse, raised his gun, and charged towards Yang Chun with great force.
In Wang Han's opinion, he was a second-rate peak warrior. How could the bandits and bandits who were just waiting for him be his match?
However.
The steel gun and the steel knife collided, Wang Han was shocked.
The other party just raised his hand and waved the knife, and he almost lost his spear!
The idea is tough!
Wang Han just wanted to ride his horse to dodge and run behind.
Naturally, Yang Chun would not let go of such an opportunity. He jumped up and slashed his head with both swords!
One knife cuts the owl's head, and one knife cuts his body into pieces!
Pull!
The sword flashed, and both men and horses were shattered.
This scene made Hong Tong's eyes wide open.
His cheap brother was killed by such a light formation?
You must know that Wang Han's martial arts is only slightly inferior to his own, and there is no winner in fifty rounds.
But he didn't want to be in the hands of this Peach Blossom Mountain bandit, and he couldn't even hold on to Sanhe.
"The thief will leave!"
Yang Chun saw the blood, his face was excited and he screamed.
But Hong Tong was not a fool, how could he dare to touch the tiger's whiskers?
Hong Tong left the Qi Fan soldiers who were still trying to form a formation around him and turned around and ran away.
With the escape of the main general, the whole army was defeated.
Li Zhong saw it clearly from above and couldn't help but sighed: "Brother Yang Chun, you are really brave!"
Chen Da and Zhu Wu smiled but didn't say anything.
The little tyrant Zhou Tong was indignant, thinking that he could easily take down these two drunkards.
As for Hong Tong, he didn't run away after all.
Yang Chun picked up Hong Tong like a chicken and threw him into the hall of the mountain stronghold.
Hong Tong, who was in a mess, was full of fear on his face.
"Please spare my life, please spare my life!"
He was scared and was even more horrified in his heart.
Hong Tong couldn't believe that a bandit leader had a top-notch martial arts cultivation.
Looking at the other ferocious leaders in the hall, their strength is higher than his!
Li Zhong was very excited. He felt that he had repelled the encirclement of the government army, so he waved his hand to pull Hong Tong down and behead him as a sacrifice.
Zhu Wu stopped Li Zhong and stood up and said, "Brother, this officer may be of other use!"
On the other side.
Chai Jin, the prince of Qi, who had just received the news of the ambush in front, looked extremely ugly.
You know, Hong Tong Wang Han was the vanguard officer he appointed.
"Is what you said true?!"
Several generals swore and dared not deceive the prince after hearing this.
They did not lie.
If it weren't for Hong Tong Wang Han who didn't listen to the advice and insisted on being greedy for merit and advancing recklessly, perhaps he would not have been ambushed by the bandits.
Moreover, there was new news just now.
It said that Hong Tong... surrendered to the bandits.
Hearing this, Chai Jin felt his eyes go dark.
