The official road is only a few meters wide. The monkey just ran away from the bandits and all the bandits saw it.
In the woods near the official road below, the bandits were discussing him.
"The boss, the person who ran over the road just now should be from Xihewan, right?" asked a bandit.
"There are scouts on the battlefield, mainly responsible for reconnaissance and opening the way. Jin Feng once followed Mr. Qing to the battlefield and must have learned the trick on the battlefield. The one who ran over just now should be their scout."
A bandit who had served as a soldier said.
"Will he find us?"
Some bandits asked worriedly.
"We hid so tightly, and he rode so fast on his horse, how could he find out?"
The headmaster said: "Even if you find it, it's nothing. Just go to the county town, unless they turn around now."
"If they really look back, wouldn't we waited for so long in vain?"
The bandit brother complained, "Sangouzi and the others died in vain."
They took a small road and had to pass a steep cliff more than ten meters long. Four bandits slipped and did not catch the crack of the stone, and fell off the cliff and died.
After the remaining bandits came, they kept hiding in the woods. The mosquitoes in the mountains were fierce and they were all bitten.
If Jin Feng found out and retreated, wouldn’t he waited for so long?
"We are hiding so tightly that the scout just now shouldn't be able to find out. Maybe Jin Feng and the others will come later."
The boss said, "Let's wait for another stick of incense. If they haven't come yet, we'll chase after him."
"The boss, they are riding horses, can we catch up?"
A bandit asked.
"Why do you think I chose to ambush in Black Wind Ridge?"
The boss said proudly: "They run away, we can catch up even if we take a nap."
This section of Heifengling is a winding mountain road. The bandits took a small road down from the current ambush point and walked down more than 100 meters. Jin Feng and his team had to run half an hour on the official road.
"The boss, what are you waiting for when we have so many people? Wouldn't you just rush over and kill them?"
The second head of the house scratched the big bump on his arm and said impatiently.
"After Jin Feng, they must be good players. If you fight head-on, you will have to die at least a dozen brothers. Isn't your life the brothers' lives?"
The boss said coldly: "Wait a little longer and let the archers do something in one round of shooting, why do you have to let your brothers fight to the death?"
"I……"
The second head of the army shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
The bandits around him felt warm when they heard the boss say this, and they felt that they had found a good master.
Seeing that the goal of winning people's hearts has been achieved, the boss continued, "Brothers, cheer me up. As long as I destroy Jin Feng today, I will invite everyone to the best brothel in the county government tomorrow and get drunk for three days!"
"Don't worry, Master Jin Feng arrives at Heifeng Ridge, he doesn't think about leaving alive!"
"The horse that scout just now rode is so strong and runs fast. When we grab it, I must ride it."
"And the sword hanging on his waist, I heard it's so sharp, and my hair is broken and my hair is cut like mud!"
"Then their crossbows are mine!"
...
The bandits were talking about it lively, and they had no idea that the monkeys had arrived behind them, lying on the high ground wearing disguise, counting their numbers one by one.
"One, two, three..."
The monkey's face became increasingly ugly. After counting, he quietly retreated.
From beginning to end, the bandits didn't know that their background had been clearly understood by the monkey.
Shortly after the monkey left, the boss couldn't wait, so he called a bandit and said, "Laizi, you run fast, go ahead and see why they haven't arrived yet. If they run away, come back and report quickly."
"yes!"
Laizi agreed and turned around and crawled into the woods.
On the other side, the monkey just returned to the convoy.
The hammer quickly came up and asked, "How many bandits are there?"
"I saw one hundred and twenty archers, and there were twenty archers!"
The monkey replied: "There are still a few hiding in the valley, and the shrubs blocked it. I can't see how many people there are, it should be between three and seven."
"That is to say, there are at least one hundred and thirty bandits?"
Tiehammer's face also became ugly.
When Jin Feng heard the movement, he opened the carriage door.
A heavy crossbow with a cold light was facing outside, which scared the hammer and quickly went to the side.
"Look at how big you are, you are so brave."
Qing Mulan, who was sitting behind the heavy crossbow, laughed.
"Miss Mulan, no matter how strong I am, I can't stand this killing weapon."
The hammer knows the power of the heavy crossbow too much and does not feel embarrassed at all: "I advise Miss Mu Lan to avoid it when encountering heavy crossbows in the future, otherwise your armor will not be able to stop it."
“The hammer makes sense.”
Jin Feng nodded in agreement.
"What's the point? Didn't you see that I didn't even get on the string?"
Qing Mulan said unconvincedly: "He is just timid."
Tiehai was too lazy to argue with Qing Mulan, so he turned his head to look at Jin Feng: "Sir, what should we do now? Or retreat?"
"War or retreat?"
Jin Feng was also a little hesitant.
The number of bandits is more than six times that of our own side. If you really fight, Jin Feng has no confidence at all.
After all, in the era of cold weapons, the number of soldiers is still very important.
Although Jin Feng won the battles in Qingshuigu and the extermination of the bandits in Tieguanshan with fewer defeats, it does not mean that it is OK here.
Now the bandits are ambushing in advance and have a geographical advantage. Jin Feng's side suffers.
But Heifeng Ridge is the only way to get to the county town, and it is impossible to get around if you want to take a detour.
If you don’t fight, won’t you go to the county town in the future?
The most important thing is that the initiative to fight or not is not in your own hands.
"Do you know the origin of this group of people?"
Jin Feng was thinking, Tie Hammer asked: "Is it the local bandits in Heifeng Ridge, or is someone eyeing us?"
For bandits, robbery is going to work.
These days, there are basically no one walking at night. If it is a local bandit from Heifengling, they will probably go back in the evening.
At that time, they will just pass through the night.
What the Hammer is worried about is that they are targeted by others. Even if they retreat, the other party will follow, and they will be more passive than they are now.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the monkey.
"This... they have too many people, so I dare not get too close to you, so I can't see it."
The monkey scratched his head embarrassedly: "Boss, otherwise I will touch it again. This time I will try to get closer to see if I can find any clues."
"No need, we have never been to Heifeng Ridge, and we don't know what the bandits here look like, so there is no need to risk getting close."
Jin Feng said, "They have seen the monkey just now. Whether it is a local bandit or someone is targeted, there are so many more people than us, and they will definitely not let us go.
There is no way to avoid this battle, so everyone should prepare early.”
