In the Xianyang Palace, the monarch and ministers began to plan for the country conscientiously.

A group of horse thieves appeared in Linji City, a faraway north of Zhao State.

Near Linji, there is a small mountain of Luer Ridge, which is only a hundred meters high and there is no danger to guard. The wonderful thing is that the mountains are lush and some eternal pine trees are lush and lush in winter. Below Luer Ridge is the official road leading to Linji.

At this moment, Linji was under the jurisdiction of King Wu Chen, the one who guarded the city was a general who was a butcher-born, named Deng Tu. He was a fellow villager of Wu Chen, who followed the military officials to raise an army and rewarded the Linji County Governor.

Recently, Deng Tu received a secret report that a group of horse thieves lived on Luerling and often harassed merchants and officials who went out of Linji.

Deng Tu was preparing to lead a large army to eliminate these horse thieves, to show their military power, and to seek credit from the military officials. The most important thing was that the wealthy businessmen in Linji City gave Deng Tu a lot of money to buy him to send troops.

The leader of this group of horse thieves was a young general, with a white face, sitting steadily on the saddle, a silver spear hung on the victory hook, and a sword hanging around his waist. He turned out to be the Bai Ba who was the domineering Zhao State at the time.

Bai Ba returned to Zhao State, but he did not expect that King Wu Chen of Zhao believed the words of the villain, and intended to be unfavorable to Bai Ba. Fortunately, Bai Ba was well-informed and took the Bai family army to escape from Zhao State's capital in time and ran to Luerling, Linji City to become a robber and horse thief.

After entering Luer Ridge, the trees became denser and denser. Although all the leaves fell in winter, I couldn't see much farther in this dead forest. Moreover, there were also trees that were easily mixed in between, blocking my view.

From time to time, fat birds in winter flapping their wings and flying by on the dead trees. If they weren't for hiding, someone would probably shoot these fat birds and make a tooth sacrifice.

Looking at the comfortable fat bird in the forest, Bai Ba suddenly felt like a bird in a cage.

In the dead woods, there is a brigade of horse thieves hidden in front of Bai Ba. Although their number is not large, there are only a thousand people.

However, their opponent, Deng Tu from Linji, gathered about 30,000 troops to wipe them out. However, before entering the dead woods of Luer Ridge, Deng Tu had already issued an order to kill only some horse thieves, but not completely wipe out.

These horse thieves are his way to make money. If all the horse thieves die, will there still be a wealthy family and businessmen from Linji pay tribute to him? Although Deng Tu is a butcher, he is not stupid at all and is very good at settleing accounts.

But this time he met an ordinary horse thief.

The 10,000 infantry flags of Zhao State flirted into the dead woods of Luer Ridge. Here the trees were slanted, and horse thieves could only go down to war.

In order to ensure that this encirclement and suppression can be firmly controlled by himself, Deng Tu ordered 20,000 infantry to be divided into two 10,000 teams, hanging from behind from a distance, and making sure to make a decision.

In order to encircle and suppress the enemy, he almost mobilized the entire Linji army. Although Linji was between Dingtao and Rongyang controlled by the Qin army, since Zhao and Qin became alliances, Zhao Wang and Wuchen did not display many defenders near the display.

As the vanguard, the 10,000 army was led by a side general under Deng Tu, and moved forward arrogantly. This side general did not think that a group of horse thieves could pose any threat to their regular army.

In front, the forest is deep and the mountains are silent.

The Zhao army's vanguard had just entered the depths of the dead woods in Luerling. A sound of arrows broke through the silence of the forest and headed straight for the leader's side.

The general was also very skilled, and immediately came to the iron bridge and avoided the arrow. The arrow roared and inserted it on the shoulder blades of the soldiers behind him, bringing out a string of blood.

"Ah!" The Zhao army soldier who was caught in the arrow let out a pig-killing howl. Before his howling fell, a figure flashed in the dead woods, and bows and arrows were shot out from time to time. Some Zhao army who could not dodge were shot dead and injured by the bows and arrows, and could not count them.

Some bows and arrows shot farther away, shooting down the remaining dead branches and leaves on the trees, making a scene of desolate autumn.

"Chain them for me and rush over." Zhao Jun was hiding behind a big tree and shouted loudly.

Immediately, ten thousand vanguards of Zhao army bent their bows and arrows, and as the bow strings vibrated, thousands of arrows were fired at once.

The bows and arrows they shot brought more dead branches and leaves in the forest, but almost no horse thief was shot in the dense forest.

But what is effective is that the Zhao army's thousands of arrows were fired at once, suppressing the horse thieves' bows and arrows.

When Zhao Jun saw the woods in front of him quiet again, he curled his lips and said, "Die horse thief, but that's it. Bounce me and kill them."

The Zhao soldiers immediately moved forward. But they had only 15 or 100 feet of marching, and immediately a cold arrow flew out of the woods. Many soldiers were caught off guard and were taken away by the cold arrows.

These cold arrows were extremely powerful, and some soldiers were nailed to the tree pole behind them by bows and arrows. They didn't know where the enemy was.

This kind of unilateral killing on the side of the side in the dark made the Zhao army's generals crazy, but they had no choice but to wave the sword in their hands behind them, constantly cursing the horse thief to hide their heads and tails, and dare not fight head-on decisively.

What’s hateful is that those horse thieves did not retreat because of the curse of the partial generals. Instead, they rewarded Zhao Jun with more powerful and more sinister cold arrows.

After moving forward for about fifty feet, Zhao Jun left hundreds of corpses in the jungle, but did not see an enemy.

This suppressed killing made the entire Zhao army's vanguard almost completely crazy. The soldiers walking in front did not dare to move forward, but only set bows and arrows in the surrounding jungle.

However, the bows and arrows they shot had no lethality. Apart from the broken branches and leaves that had been shot, even the birds did not shoot half of them.

Whenever the Zhao army began to shoot archery on a large scale, the front would fall into silence, as if no one had ever existed in that deadly jungle.

"Fuck me, don't be afraid of death." Zhao Jun's side general was also a brave character, roaring and holding up a shield, and rushing towards the jungle ahead first.

Behind him, Zhao Jun, who was holding a shield, immediately flocked to follow, and there was no formation that had just entered the jungle.

Perhaps it was the might of the side general who played a role, and the horse thief who had no cold arrows were intercepted along the way, as if he had entered a no-man's realm.

However, Zhao Jun general did not realize that during his crazy attack, the formation of this 10,000 team was no longer as good as a mess in the jungle.

The horse thief hidden in the jungle watched the Zhao army's vanguard rushing into the ambush circle violently, and was stunned for a moment. Including Bai Ba, no one expected that the Zhao army's vanguard would arrive in such a scattered manner, without formations or decent organization.

"Shoot the arrow." A roar in the jungle.

The team of horse thieves with less than 3,000 people on Bai Ba fired the first wave of bows and arrows at the already scattered Zhao army.

Thrilling sounds were everywhere in the jungle. The advantage of Zhao's army with many scattered formations became a disadvantage at this time. The more people there were, the more disintegrating it became, the more difficult it was to control it.

The side general killed two deserters passing by in a row to stabilize the morale of the surrounding army. He waved his sword and roared: "The horse thief is right in front of him, kill more heads, and there are many rewards."

"Kill." A small group of Zhao army rushed up in anger regardless of their death. Under their leadership, more Zhao army waved their weapons and rushed towards the horse thief who had appeared in the jungle.

"Order all the squad leaders to calm down, take advantage of the advantage of the geographical advantage, and fight quickly." After Bai Ba gave the order, he walked backwards, circled a small circle in the jungle, and rushed towards the side general who commanded the Zhao army's vanguard.

Under his leadership, all the horse thieves rushed toward the already divided responsible area in an orderly manner.

Soon the two armies collided, and in the quiet mountains and forests, heart-wrenching sounds came one after another.

From time to time, blood and residual limbs were sprayed and hit the dead tree roots, providing nutrients for the spring recovery of these plants.

While Bai Ba was advancing, the silver spear killed more than a dozen Zhao soldiers, and they had already reached the back of the side general. The side general of Zhao felt the danger and swung the long sword in his hand and rushed straight to Bai Ba.

The spear shook and directly hit the sword of the Zhao army's side general.

With a crisp sound of gold and iron breaking, the sword in his hand broke into two pieces. He only felt the tiger's mouth hurt, and then he realized that it was blown by Bai Ba and blood flowed.

Before Zhao Jun's general responded for the second time, Bai Ba's silver spear was inserted directly into his chest like a poisonous snake. With one arm, the general was picked up by Bai Ba in mid-air.

He did not hurt his heart and had not yet died. The huge pain made him thrust his feet in the air, making heart-wrenching screams. Blood fell along the silver spear and dripped on the frozen ground.

"Your master is dead, how dare you fight again?" Bai Ba stood proudly like a god of war. On the spear raised with one hand, there was a dying general of Zhao Jun who was unwilling to die.

"General." Some Zhao army recognized that the one who was carrying the spear tip was his own leader.

"Escape quickly, the general is dead."

With the first person to escape, the Zhao army's vanguard troops immediately began to collapse.

The horse thief was about to pursue him, but Bai Ba immediately whistled.

All the horse thieves who were about to pursue heard the whistle and retreated unwillingly, and soon disappeared into the jungle.
