Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 74

[Chapter 74]

Lu Chang looked into the deep woods.

His vision was blocked by trees, and he couldn’t even see hundreds of meters away.

In such a place, the enemy’s ambushes cannot be easily found even if they are under the nose.

The sun can’t shine in such a dense forest, and the dark area in his vision makes him feel even more uneasy.

Perhaps the enemy’s ambushes were watching them there.

“Master Captain, there are people coming from the valley.” A soldier climbed up from the mountain, panting.

“Let’s go down the mountain.” Lu Chang waved his hand.

He is very clear that his task today is to act as a bait.

Since it’s the bait, just rush out.

“Raise the fireworks.” Lu Chang recalled what he ordered.

Of the thousand people, 500 were ambushed in Dongshan and 500 in Xishan.

Fenghuo went down the mountain at the same time, and this was also a signal to Chang Wei.

The woods are so dense that you can’t see too far, but the sky can be seen from the smoke.

“Kill!” Not long after the smoke rose, the sound of killing rang out in the woods.

Lu Chang led the soldiers and rushed down the 100-meter-high mountainside.

For this matter, two groups of people gathered in the valley.

To the south are bandits from Qingfengzhai. They pulled a cart full of armor, weapons, iron and other things.

Beidi merchants in the north are leading good horses.

At the moment when they heard the shout of killing, neither Beidi merchants nor the bandits in Qingfengzhai panicked.

They immediately lined up the wagons in two rows, with one side on the east side and the other side on the west side to block the impact of King Yan’s army, while the men and horses gathered in the center of the wagons.

At the same time, the guard archers of the Beidi caravan and the archers of Qingfengzhai bent their bows and aimed at the jungle, waiting for the soldiers of King Yan to appear before releasing the arrows.

Others took up their swords and waited quietly.

“Brothers, listen to me. Each head has five taels of silver, and I will kill you desperately.” A sharp-faced man shouted in the middle.

His name is Song Ya, and he was once the third head of Qingfeng Village.

But now, he is the head of Qingfeng Village.

Knowing that this time he was planning to get rid of the troops sent by King Yan, he trained a lot when he came.

Now that the training had paid off, his men immediately formed a defensive formation of wagons in the narrow valley.

Hearing five taels of silver for a head, the gangsters in Qingfengzhai screamed excitedly, and licked 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 of killing became louder and louder, and suddenly Lu Chang rushed out first.

“Swoosh…”

There was a sound of bows and arrows piercing through the air, and dozens of arrows shot straight at Lu Chang.

“Ding ding ding…” Metal sounds sounded one after another, and Lu Chang’s face turned pale with fright.

Apparently he didn’t expect the place to fight back against them so methodically.

“I’m going to die.” Lu Chang yelled in his heart.

But after the sound, he lowered his head to look, the armor on his body was like the beach after the rain, but the arrow didn’t break the armor.

Although they tried it with bows and arrows in the barracks before, but now the armor can withstand the arrows in actual combat, which greatly increased his information.

“Go to hell!” With a loud cry, Lu Chang climbed onto the truck, jumped off the truck, and smashed into the gangsters like a cannonball.

At this time, more soldiers rushed out.

They rested for the night, all in good spirits.

Flying in the rain of arrows, he kept jumping over the truck and smashing into the crowd.

The Qingfengzhai gangsters and Beidi guards were all dumbfounded.

In their common sense, this wave of arrow rain would definitely cause a lot of casualties, but their bows and arrows shot out, and they didn’t even have the effect of hindering the advance of King Yan’s soldiers.

This bizarre scene immediately frustrated their morale.

But that’s just the beginning.

The melee started in the narrow valley. King Yan’s soldiers, wearing armor with only two eyes exposed, rampaged among the bandits, completely ignoring the bandits’ knives on their armor.

The swords in their hands kept rising and falling, and the disciples in Qingfeng Village were splashed with blood and screamed.

“The seventh one.” Lu Chang was tall and burly, and he rushed into the crowd like a steel bear wearing armor.

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

“The eighth one!” With a horizontal slash, Lu Chang’s knife directly chopped a gangster’s worn-out armor into pieces, and he raised the knife and made another horizontal slash. The gangster was almost cut in half by him, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Beside them, other pro-military soldiers also turned red-eyed.

Regardless of the sword on his body, he greeted the enemy’s vital points.

In the brief battle, the Qingfengzhai bandits and Beidi guards suffered heavy losses immediately.

The corpses of people on their side all over the ground made the smiles on their faces disappear.

But the killing of King Yan’s soldiers continued.

“Big boss, something is wrong, King Yan’s soldiers are too tough, their armor can’t be cut, and our brother is almost dead.” A bandit was covered in blood and rushed to Song Ya’s side.

Song Ya had never experienced a melee on such a scale.

In the past, at most, he led people stronger than caravans, and he often set up ambushes and had a large number of people.

But now, as he looked around, his people kept falling in a pool of blood, and there were fewer and fewer people.

“What to do? What to do?” Song Ya’s legs trembled.

“Woooo…”

At this moment, a horn sounded in the woods.

I saw the grass swaying, and Beidi swordsmen with scimitars rushed out of the woods one by one.

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

The royal family’s troops were immediately surrounded by the enemy.

“Too bad.”

Lu Chang was startled, as expected there was an ambush.

He saw a steady stream of Beidi soldiers rushing down with scimitars, but 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 who were fighting with them, waiting for Beidi soldiers to attack Yan Wang soldiers from behind.

“Ding Dong…”

A Beidi soldier scimitar slashed at the pro-army soldier.

After the sound of metal clashing sounded, he was stunned for a while, his scimitar didn’t chop off the armor pieces of the enemy’s armor as usual.

He looked carefully, and saw that the armor of these King Yan soldiers was like fish scales, covering one layer after another, and the thread through the armor plate was protected by the armor plate.

It’s not like Dasong’s ordinary armor with a part of the line exposed outside.

With this slash, not only did he not hurt the soldiers of the King of Yan, but the tiger’s mouth was shocked and painful.

He looked again, and the soldiers of the King of Yan were covered with armor so tightly that almost their entire bodies were covered by armor.

This made him not know how to start.

Just when he hesitated, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

With a scream, he turned his head with difficulty, only to see many soldiers in silver armor rushing out of the woods and rushing into the crowd.

“Kill!” Lu Chang and other pro-army soldiers also saw it.

They understood that this was the arrival of soldiers to support them.

Immediately, all the worries in their hearts were gone, and their morale was high.

The reinforcements from Beidi kept complaining, but now they were surrounded instead.

The bandits from Qingfengzhai were terrified when they saw so many King Yan soldiers rushing out, they didn’t dare to continue fighting, and fled all over the mountains and plains.
