Chapter 757 The bull's knife is used to kill chickens, ambush in the mountains
After two days and two nights of running away in the deep mountains and dense forests, Tian Biao was finally able to survive for a while. His eyes were sunken, his eye circles were black, and his whole person was feeling much more depressed. He looked around and saw that the countless minions around him all had expressions on their faces.
They were dull and ragged, like a group of beggars who went out to beg for food.
Compared with other accomplices who were captured or killed by the government and soldiers, these remaining survivors don't know whether they are lucky or not. Although they can have hope as long as they are still alive and have not been brought to justice by the government, but now
What made these thieves even more miserable was the fear of encountering a large number of captured soldiers, and the exhaustion of running around all day long.
However, although Tian Biao was now defeated and exhausted, he still thought in his mind that two days ago he led other strongman leaders to rush to the front to attack Dingxiang County. Xiao Tang led the army to suddenly attack, and in the melee between the two armies, his eldest brother Tian Hu seemed to appear out of thin air.
It disappeared without a sound. If Tian Hu was captured by the army or captured alive in a chaotic battle, the Song army would definitely make a noise and intimidate the other strongmen to abandon their weapons and surrender. According to Tian Biao's understanding of his compatriot brother,
Tian Hu definitely had an idea in mind and was ready to regroup and make a comeback.
Although the Song army had another great victory in the previous battle, there were a total of 35,000 people gathered around Dingxiang County. Even if most of them were wiped out by the Song army, there would always be some soldiers left, just like Tian Biao.
Usually they can escape. Coupled with the several bandits running around, if they can integrate these soldiers and horses to find a safe place to avoid the limelight... It is said that in thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi, only the Song Dynasty officials
It is still faint and rotten, and our brothers will die before this is enough!
Thinking of this, Tian Biaowu, who looked tired, showed a ferocious look. Suddenly, there was a sound like a drum in his belly. He immediately scolded and ordered a young man next to him to bring him some food. I'm afraid now
The officers and soldiers were still patrolling the mountains to search, and Tian Biao and his remnant soldiers did not dare to light firewood and bury pots to make rice. They had no choice but to eat some dry food they carried with them or randomly pick some wild grass and vegetables in the mountains to satisfy their hunger.
Without a good night's sleep, many soldiers were already on the verge of physical and mental collapse.
However, although most of these fierce bandits do not know the allusion of looking at the plum blossoms to quench their thirst, what supports them to continue to flee and resist are the behaviors they have always regarded as common. Even if they are suffering from hunger and cold, many thieves still
I was imagining that as long as I could avoid being hunted by the official army, I would go to a village and town, grab clothes and food... and then kill some men and women I didn't like to express my resentment, and have a good time with wine and meat.
If only a few more tender-skinned girls could be happy on the bed...tsk, tsk, tsk, we are willing to cut our bodies off to engage in major rebellion, isn't that just for this?
After another day of escaping in the mountains, Tian Biao couldn't stand it any longer at night and decided to find a relatively flat spot in the mountains to rest for the night. It had already been three days, not to mention the officers and soldiers.
It may not be possible to trace their whereabouts. After all, Tian Biao was also a hunter in the mountains. He also thought a lot about how to choose a path to escape in the deep mountains and wild ridges. If he didn't sleep for three days without food, he was afraid that even a tough man would suffer too.
Unable to hold back, they just lay down at the bottom of a mountain valley surrounded by dense forests. The thieves passed out one after another and seemed to fall asleep quickly. Tian Biao ordered four of his own little leaders to arrange things everywhere.
After the sentry took precautions, he soon fell over and fell into a deep sleep...
But only an hour passed.
Tian Biao seemed to be hazy in his sleep when he heard shouts of killing from around him. Back then, he, his two brothers Tian Hu and Tian Bao were considered to be members of the Weisheng Army in Qinyuan. They often went into the mountains to hunt and stay overnight. They were some famous hunters in the surrounding counties and towns.
Even though he was tired and heavy, Tian Biao quickly stood up and shouted loudly: "What's going on? But there are officers and soldiers chasing you!?"
No one around answered Tian Biao's question, because those traitors had not just woken up with sleepy eyes. They thought they were in a dream, and some of them were panicking and shouting in the distance. Suddenly, the thieves screamed and screamed.
The sound suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a thundering roar: "Thief! My brother has already set up a heavy ambush here. Now you are surrounded heavily. If you don't surrender in ambush, how long will it take!"
?”
Tian Biao was shocked when he heard this. He and the bandit leader next to him, who finally regained consciousness, hurriedly looked around the mountains. They saw countless torches on the surrounding high hills, loud horns and fierce shouts of killing suddenly rang out.
, and echoed in the middle of the valley like the roar of dragons and tigers. Suddenly another group of cavalry crashed out from the east. In the dark night, it was not clear how many people and horses there were. The group of cavalry galloped at the bottom of the mountains and valleys, meeting people.
He killed them immediately, and many confused bandit soldiers just got up, and soon they lost their lives in confusion!
How is it possible!? I have arranged for the children to keep vigil around me. Even if the officers and soldiers really come to kill them, how can they be so caught off guard?... I'm sorry to his eighteen generations of ancestors! How many soldiers and horses do the officers and soldiers have?
Setting an ambush here!?
Tian Biao, who was stunned and stunned, never thought that he was also a good guerrilla in the mountains. He didn't know that a disaster was coming until the enemy troops were in front of him. But in the end, the three mountain hunters of the Tian brothers were just looking for a way to survive in their early years.
In his profession, being a bandit who commits murder and arson is considered his official job, but Niu Gao, who was born in the mountains near Lushan County in Ruzhou, is a serious and simple man who grew up in the barren mountains and ridges that are inaccessible to people!
In order to support his family, Niu Gao not only made a living as a woodcutter in the mountains by chopping firewood, but also how to be wary of poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains, and how to track and drive away prey was also his expert skill. According to his original deeds in the official history, when he first set foot in the mountains
On the battlefield, even if they ambush hunting people like the Jurchen Jin soldiers in the white mountains and black waters, they can still achieve a few victories. The terrain here is suitable for sentry, where is suitable for escaping, and where is suitable for setting up an ambush. Niu Gao also knows very well, especially Tian Biao.
Be careful with the dikes, how can you hide it from Niu Gao, who grew up in the mountains and fields?
What's more, even without Wang Jin's careful instructions, Niu Gao knew very well that when ambushing the fleeing enemy, the best time to attack is when the enemy is eating or sleeping, when the enemy's defense is at its highest.
Relaxed. Therefore, Niu Gao, who had been naive and rude when getting along with other brothers in the past, was very calm and composed during this day. He ordered his horse army to wrap the horses' hooves with cloth strips, and tracked Tian Biao and his group of thieves with their horses in their jaws.
, after nightfall, he personally led more than a dozen army soldiers to quietly go up to the surrounding hills to deal with the strongmen who were outposts. After confirming that almost all the thieves under Tian Biao's command had fallen asleep, Niu Gao ordered 200 soldiers to light up the surrounding posts.
The torch shouted loudly, and personally led the cavalry army, including more than a dozen experienced combat veterans, to suddenly rush out. The awakened thieves were still confused. They saw the powerful cavalry of the official army coming soon, and there were shouts of killing all around.
The earthquake was so powerful that the whole valley seemed to tremble, and they were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were split apart. How could they still have the slightest intention to resist!?
In a moment, two to three hundred thieves were killed and trampled by the Song Army cavalry who suddenly came out. Most of the remaining thieves screamed and bumped around the valley like headless flies. Niu Gao hurriedly urged the black people on his crotch
The mane horse rushed to Tian Biao without any effort. After he saw the appearance of the strongman leader in front of him, he immediately stared and shouted: "It turns out to be you, a bird man! I have taught you to be arrogant for a long time, and today I finally
My grandfather bumped into me!"
When Tian Biao saw the appearance of the dark man in front of him, he was even more shocked. It's not that enemies don't get together. When Xiao Tang and Tian Hu met on a narrow road in Shishi Mountain of Weisheng Army that day, Tian Biao saw with his own eyes the man under Xiao Tang's command.
General Jade Face is very good at bow and arrow, and even killed his second brother Tian Bao with one arrow. This big black man has amazing power, and his two maces make him even more powerful and unstoppable. Even if he is cruel and arrogant, he can still survive.
I have some self-awareness, but now that my physical strength is exhausted and I still have a gunshot wound on my arm, how can I win against this murderous black man?
Tian Biao shouted, and even he did not intend to make any resistance at this time. He just turned around and looked for a way to escape! Niu Gao, who was well prepared, immediately urged his horse to jump out, and the galloping black horse quickly caught up with Tian Biao. Niu Gao
After leaning down for a moment, he picked up the heavy mace in his hand and hit Tian Biao hard, but when he heard a heart-stopping cracking sound, Tian Biao's right shoulder bone had been smashed to pieces by Niu Gao's mace!!
!
Tian Biao let out a heart-rending howl, and soon he fell to the ground and passed out from the pain. Niu Gao pulled the reins and looked back, seeing that most of the thieves in the valley had fallen to their knees.
Even asking for mercy, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Come on! Tie up Tian Biao and this gangster, and then go back and ask for credit from brother Xiao Tang!"
