Chapter 45 Complete Annihilation

In a forest a few miles away, more than 100 barbarians are sitting on the ground in several piles, and everyone is taking time to rest. Since they were defeated by Xu Jinghong and others, they have been wandering and hiding in this mountain forest for more than ten days, because they are not willing to go back like this. They want to kill back quietly after recovering their wounds and refreshed their spirits, and retaliate against the Song people.

Although their leader Mu Min has died at the hands of Xu Jinghong, there is still a new leader who can be trusted by everyone - Mu Zhenyong, who is also a real warrior among the barbarians. Because of his command, barbarians would quickly run into the mountains and forests after such a great defeat, and hide all their whereabouts on this road, so as not to prevent the Song army's pursuers from finding the whereabouts of themselves and others. After more than ten days, they did not meet Song Jun again, which made the barbarians trust Mu Zhenyong more, and they firmly believed that they would be able to do another big thing in the territory of the State of Song.

However, if they want to make a difference, one of the things they must do is to refresh themselves, heal everyone's injuries and refresh themselves, so that they can walk out of the mountains and forests and hit Song Jun from behind. So these days, in addition to constantly hiding in the depths of the mountains and forests, barbarians are also concerned about resting and foraging, just like now, they are taking a nap after lunch.

Although the barbarians have penetrated into the mountains and forests at this time, they have not lost their way because of their familiarity with the mountains and forests. They can clearly grasp the location of themselves and others at this time and the distance from the cities of the State of Song. Mu Zhenyong means that they will cross the mountains and forests in two days, and then come to the vicinity of Guizhou. At that time, they can attack the nearby villages and towns to recover some old debts first.

The barbarians dare to do that kind of thing near a big city like Guizhou because they believe in their characteristics of coming and going like the mountains and forests. As long as they return to the mountains and forests immediately after attacking the village, 10,000 troops will come to chase them, and they can't help it.

Because of such self-confidence, the barbarians did not send any light and dark whistles at this time, because they were sure that no one would be stronger than them in this woods, and even the Song people could not even catch their shadow.

But this time, the barbarians obviously took it for granted and underestimated the ability of the Song army's scouts. While they were still relaxing or talking about how to revenge, several scouts had touched their side and were staring at their every move.

"The day after tomorrow, we can go through this forest and come to Guizhou. Because most of the Song army there was transferred to Dingxi, the guards there would be very empty. And we can take this opportunity to attack the Song people's village over there. Don't have any scruples at that time. We will kill the Song people there!" Mu Zhenyong has a ferocious face.

Other barbarians also agreed, and they couldn't wait. Although these people suffered great losses in the hands of the Song people, with the previous victory of killing Gui and the West, their fear of the Song army has long disappeared, and they naturally take the people of the State of Song seriously.

"How are your injuries? Is it possible to fight?" Mu Zhenyong looked at several injured barbarians on the other side and asked. This time, they came to cut off the grain road of the Song army and attacked the barbarians on the border of the State of Song. In the first two battles and the final defeats, they lost more than 600 people in total, and after fleeing into the mountains and forests, many people also died of serious injuries. However, after these ten days of recuperation, most of these people's injuries have been healed, and only seven or eight people still have some problems.

Those people immediately nodded: "We are all fine. What we have to deal with is only the ordinary people of the State of Song. Even if they are injured, we can also kill them!" When they said this, these barbarians were still complaous, as if they wanted to deal with a strong enemy.

Listening to the barbarians talking not far away, Mao Shun's faces suddenly darkened. Although they are all local dialects of barbarians, as scouts, they can still understand each other's language. Seeing that they were going to attack the people of the Song Dynasty, several scouts were even more determined to annihilate the enemy.

At this time, Mu Zhenyong over there looked at the shadow of the sun shining in the woods and said, "It's almost time. Let's move on, otherwise it will be a little difficult to reach Guizhou the day after tomorrow."

The barbarians stood up lazily and were about to leave. This made Mao Shun very anxious. The barbarians are about to leave, but the people on their side have not arrived yet. You know, once they really start to walk, it will be too difficult to completely annihilate the barbarians. Only when they stop can they really make a fish that doesn't leak from the four breads. As for tailing up, so many people following barbarians in the forest, I'm afraid they will soon be discovered by the other party, but what about this?

Just when Mao Shun was a little embarrassed and didn't know whether he should first block the barbarians, several figures appeared behind him, and then one person whispered, "Let's do it. We have laid an ambush around!"

Hearing the sound behind the sound, Mao Shun was shocked first, and then smiled and agreed in a low voice. Because he heard the owner of the sound, it was Wang Junqing who was the commander of the camp, and even he had arrived, which means that others should have also arrived.

"What's the sound?" The barbarians were still very alert. Although they were about to leave, they soon found that there was a strange movement over there. Everyone put their hands on the weapon, and three barbarians slowly leaned over with weapons.

But it was too late at this time. Just as they were on guard, a sharp arrow was shot in the problematic direction. When the barbarian who wanted to come forward to find out was immediately shot to the ground. While the arrow hit the target, it seemed to send a signal. Suddenly, sharp arrows were shot in the surrounding woods to distinguish the key points of the barbarians who were already full of danger, although they were alert.

"Wo! Oh! ..." The arrows shot at the barbarians from all angles. Although they were not too dense, they were very accurate. In a blink of an eye, more than 20 barbarians fell under the arrows, and they were all hit by key points such as necks and chest. Obviously, it was impossible to get up and fight again.

"It's Song people. They actually found us and surrounded us!" At this time, the barbarians knew the seriousness of the matter. They also forget that after encountering such a raid, they still did not panic, but gathered together with weapons. Everyone cooperated to resist the sharp arrows shot from everywhere, which really made them resist the dark arrows of the Song army.

Wang Junqing also nodded with some admiration and said, "Although they are enemies, it is enough to show their unusualness to stabilize their position so quickly. But no matter how powerful they are, there is only one end today. With that, he shot the last arrow, then picked up the steel knife on his body and rushed up.

Wang Junqing's three-stone hard bow is not a joke. Although the barbarians have blocked it with all their strength, the barbarians targeted by him were still pierced by an arrow, and the cluster of arrows passed through the body and pierced straight into the waist of the companion behind him.

When the barbarians were shocked by the power of this arrow, Wang Junqing had killed it after a shout. At the same time, the scouts surrounded on all sides did not come out without stopping. They actually had an incomprehensible tacit understanding with Wang Junqing.

Xu Jinghong also killed with them, but his heart was obviously not on this fight, but thinking about Wang Junqing's way of using troops. From the decisive action after receiving the report to the calm treatment after finding the enemy, the encirclement on all sides showed Wang Junqing's extraordinary command ability. And now his tacit understanding with his soldiers and horses made Xu Jinghong even more surprised. He knew that he wanted to do something in the army and still had many things to learn.

When Xu Jinghong sighed and rushed up, he found the power of the waiting army. Although there are more battles and less, and it is a surprise battle, their performance is still amazing. When these scouts met the resistance of the barbarians, they did not confront them head-on, but cooperated with each other to besiege the enemy from the side. In this way, even if these barbarians are extremely brave, it becomes extremely difficult to kill a few people. Because often when they want to face an enemy, their backs will be sold to another enemy, so that he will die faster.

So it was hardly Xu Jinghong's turn to do something. More than 100 barbarians had been annihilated. Only one person who looked at the leader did not move, and the first person who had been hit by an arrow and had not died was still alive.

What does it mean to be as motionless as a mountain and as aggressive as fire? Xu Jinghong really learned this time. After a meal, hundreds of barbarians were cleared. This is the attack power of the waiting army. I don't know how many times the number of people are better than the fifth team led by Xu Jinghong. All he knows is that if he meets such an opponent, no matter how brave he is, I'm afraid there is only one way to die.

"Take him down and take him to the city to ask questions!" After Wang Junqing's order, seven or eight scouts rushed straight up and besieged Mu Zhenyong. He is indeed as heroic as his name, but unfortunately, he was quickly restrained under the attack from all angles of the scouts.

"You Song people are really good or despicable. How can you win more than little!" Mu Zhenyong shouted in awkward Chinese.

Wang Junqing paid no attention to this at all. He just looked at Xu Jinghong to see what he had to say. And Xu Jinghong just sneered, "We are soldiers, and it's normal for a hundred people to beat you!" This made Wang Junqing once again show his appreciation for Xu Jinghong.

Yes, soldiers only fight for victory or defeat. As for means and other conditions, they can't care about it...
