Chapter 74: Counterattack

Lü Chang looked into the deep woods.

Because of the trees, his vision was blocked, and he couldn't even see hundreds of meters away.

In such a place, the enemy's ambush could not be easily discovered even under his nose.

The sun could not shine in such a dense forest, and the dark area in his vision made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Perhaps the enemy's ambush was staring at them there.

"Captain, there are people coming in the valley." A soldier climbed up from the bottom of the mountain, panting.

"Let's go down the mountain." Lu Chang waved his hand.

He was very clear that his mission today was to act as bait.

Since it was a bait, he would just rush out directly.

"Raise the fireworks." Lu Chang remembered something and ordered.

Of the thousand people, 500 were ambushed in the east mountain and 500 in the west mountain.

They went down the mountain at the same time with the beacon fire as a signal, which was also a signal to Chang Wei.

The woods were dense and could not see too far, but the smoke in the sky could be seen.

"Kill!" Soon after the smoke rose, the sound of killing rang out in the woods.

Lu Chang led his soldiers to rush down from the mountainside 100 meters high.

At this time, two groups of people and horses gathered in the valley.

To the south were the bandits of Qingfeng Village, who were pulling carts full of armor, weapons, iron and other items.

To the north were the Beidi merchants who were leading good horses.

At the moment of hearing the shouts of killing, neither the Beidi merchants nor the bandits of Qingfeng Village panicked.

They immediately arranged the trucks in two rows, one in the east and the other in the west to block the attack of the King of Yan's army, while the people and horses gathered in the center of the trucks.

At the same time, the guard archers of the Beidi caravan and the archers of Qingfeng Village bent their bows and aimed their arrows at the jungle, waiting for the King of Yan's soldiers to appear and then shoot.

While the others picked up their swords and waited quietly.

"Brothers, listen to me, five taels of silver per head, kill as hard as you can." A pointed-faced man shouted in the middle.

His name was Song Ya, and he was once the third in command of Qingfeng Village.

And now, he is the leader of Qingfeng Village.

Knowing that they were going to use the trick to get rid of the troops sent by King Yan, he trained them when he came.

Now these trainings have worked, and his people immediately used trucks to set up a defensive car formation in the narrow valley.

Hearing that each head was worth five taels of silver, the bandits of Qingfeng Village shouted excitedly, licking their lips excitedly.

The Beidi guard archers on one side were much quieter, but their eyes were full of madness before killing.

"Kill!"

The shouts and killings became louder and louder, and suddenly Lu Chang rushed out first.

"Swish..."

A burst of bows and arrows broke through the air, and dozens of arrows rushed straight towards Lu Chang.

"Ding Ding Ding..." The metal sounds rang out one after another, and Lu Chang's face turned pale with fear.

Obviously, he did not expect that the enemy would fight back against them so methodically.

"I'm going to die." Lu Chang shouted in his heart.

But after the sound, he lowered his head and looked, and the armor on his body was like a beach after rain, but the arrows did not break the armor.

Although they had tried using bows and arrows in the barracks before, the armor now withstood the arrows in actual combat, which greatly increased his confidence.

"Go to hell!" With a loud shout, Lu Chang climbed onto the truck, jumped off the truck, and smashed into the middle of the bandits like a cannonball.

At this time, more soldiers rushed out.

They rested for a night and were full of energy.

They were at ease in the rain of arrows, constantly crossing the truck and killing into the crowd.

The Qingfengzhai bandits and Beidi guards were all dumbfounded.

In their common sense, this wave of arrows would definitely cause a large number of casualties, but their bows and arrows did not even have the effect of hindering the advance of the Yanwang soldiers.

This bizarre scene immediately frustrated their morale.

But this was just the beginning.

A melee began in the narrow valley. The Yanwang soldiers, wearing armor that only exposed two eyes, rushed among the bandits, not caring at all that the bandits' knives chopped on their armor.

The swords in their hands kept rising and falling, and the Qingfengzhai disciples were bleeding and screaming.

"The seventh one." Lu Chang was tall and strong, wearing armor and rushing into the crowd like a steel bear.

Holding a knife, he kept fighting with the bandits rushing towards him.

"The eighth one!" With a horizontal chop, Lu Chang's knife directly cut a bandit's worn-out armor into pieces, and with another horizontal chop, the bandit was almost cut in half by him, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Beside them, other soldiers of the personal army were also killing.

Regardless of the swords on his body, he attacked the enemy's vital points with every move.

After a short battle, the Qingfengzhai bandits and Beidi guards suffered heavy losses.

The corpses of their own people on the ground made their smiles disappear.

And the killing of the Yanwang soldiers continued.

"Boss, something is wrong. The Yanwang soldiers are too tough. Their armor can't be cut. Half of our brothers are almost dead." A bandit covered in blood rushed to Song Ya.

Song Ya had never experienced such a large-scale melee.

In the past, he could only lead a group of people stronger than the caravan, and he often ambushed them with more people.

But now, he looked around and saw his people falling in pools of blood, and the number of people was decreasing.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Song Ya's legs were shaking.

"Woo woo..."

Just then, a horn suddenly sounded in the woods.

The grass shook, and the Northern Di swordsmen with scimitars rushed out of the woods.

They rushed down from the mountains on the east and west at the same time.

The royal army was immediately trapped and attacked from both sides.

"It's bad."

Lü Chang was startled. There was indeed an ambush.

He saw a steady stream of Beidi soldiers rushing down with scimitars, and he didn't know how many there were.

The appearance of Beidi reinforcements immediately boosted the confidence of the Qingfengzhai bandits and Beidi guards, whose morale had almost collapsed.

They entangled the soldiers fighting with them, waiting for the Beidi soldiers to attack the Yan Wang soldiers from behind.

"Dingdang..."

A Beidi soldier's scimitar chopped at the soldiers of the royal army.

After the sound of metal clashing, he was stunned. His scimitar did not chop off the armor plates on the enemy's armor as usual.

He looked carefully. The armor of these Yan Wang soldiers was like fish scales, one layer covered with another, and the wires that penetrated the armor plates were protected inside by the armor plates.

It was not like the ordinary armor of Dasong, where part of the wires were exposed outside.

This chop not only did not hurt the Yan Wang soldiers, but the tiger's mouth was shocked and hurt.

He looked again. The Yan Wang soldiers were wrapped very tightly in armor, and almost their entire bodies were covered with armor.

This made him not know how to start for a while.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

Screaming, he turned back with difficulty, and saw many soldiers in silver armor rushing out of the woods and killing into the crowd.

"Kill!" Lu Chang and other soldiers of the personal army also saw it.

They understood that the soldiers who supported them had arrived.

Suddenly, their worries were gone and their morale was high.

The Beidi reinforcements complained bitterly, and now they were trapped.

The bandits in Qingfeng Village were frightened when they saw many Yan Wang soldiers rushing out. They no longer dared to continue fighting and fled all over the mountains.
