Liu Feng's side.
After investigation, he had already chosen a place for ambush.
After passing this dangerous section, about three miles ahead is a series of bends. This section is very short, but it is extremely winding, going back and forth.
This bend is between two valleys, with steep cliffs on both sides, complex terrain and many trees.
Even though it is the season when the ice and snow have just melted, Liu Feng and his people can hide behind the big trees and rocks.
Take advantage of this unique terrain to deal with the enemy's guards.
The most important thing is that once they enter this bend, they will block both sides of the canyon.
They will not have any chance to escape.
This was Liu Feng’s plan, to capture them in this canyon.
Then take the herbs back.
Because it is blocked from front and back, this place is a dead end, and there is no possibility of retreating.
Therefore, this place is the best ambush location prepared by God for Liu Feng.
"This place is good..."
"Pass the message. From now on, it's your business..."
"Place the archers on the hills on both sides, and half of the remaining men in front and half in the back. Once they enter, not a single one can escape."
This time, because they were disguised as bandits, they brought only a few archers, only about fifty people.
Liu Feng had more freedom in training his troops in Siwa Village.
Before the two Linghu brothers came into being, he basically trained the troops according to his own training standards.
With the two brothers of the Linghu family, detailed training subjects were formulated.
But Liu Feng has one thing, that is, after each soldier completes the designated training subjects every day, he can practice a unique skill according to his own preferences.
For example, if he found a soldier among the soldiers who was originally an infantryman but had a talent for archery, he would decisively give him a bow and arrow and let him practice on his own.
Also, he once discovered that a soldier threw a stone very far and very accurately, and it could be said that the stone hit wherever he pointed.
Liu Feng asked him to use stones as weapons. If such a talent could throw grenades in the future, wouldn't that be a great advantage?
Therefore, Liu Feng never restricted the personal development of his soldiers.
Although these 200 people are far inferior to the Tiger Roar Army, everyone has chosen their favorite and practiced silently.
For example, archers.
Don't think they are bad. Each of these self-taught people has his own way of positioning and aiming.
Generally speaking, you can hit the target every time.
After receiving the order, Wang Dingliu immediately went to pass it on.
An hour later.
Liu Feng's men had already set up an ambush, and at the end of the dangerous passage, the team transporting medicinal materials was approaching.
After crossing the dangerous cliff, Guard Tian and the chief shopkeeper walked in front.
Guard Tian is quite strong and alert.
When he looked at the canyon he was about to enter, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before, even though he had walked this road countless times.
"Why is this valley so strange today?" the guard leader said to himself.
"What's wrong, Guard Tian?"
The old shopkeeper asked.
"Old shopkeeper, the valley is so quiet today, there's not even the sound of birds singing."
Guard Tian then raised his hand and ordered the large force behind to stop.
He frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. This feeling was strange and strong.
He looked at the cliffs around him.
The old shopkeeper was riding a donkey and standing next to Guard Tian, with a very dissatisfied expression on his face.
"Why stop? Hurry up and move on."
"We'll be at Dasan Pass soon. General Qian Mu is waiting for medicinal herbs to save his life. Delaying here could cost lives."
"Boss, I always feel like something is wrong."
"Look around here, there's not a sound at all. It's terrifyingly quiet. This shouldn't be happening."
"If there's an ambush ahead, it will be troublesome."
He had walked this road many times, but this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
This goes against common sense.
He also knew very well that there was a very narrow bend ahead. Once he entered, he would be blocked in front and behind, with no way to go up to the sky and no way to enter the earth.
"Guardian Tian, it's right to be careful."
"But I want to say something to you now. How could there be an ambush in such a cold weather?"
"Hurry up! I don't want to sleep in the wilderness and freeze tonight."
"What's there to be afraid of? Hurry up and leave! The bandits around here have been dealt with long ago. How could this be an ambush?"
"Besides, what's ahead? It's Dasan Pass, the territory of the Qian family. Which bandit group would be so bold as to occupy such a place?"
Guard Tian carefully looked at the surrounding terrain and was still confused.
It’s understandable that the birds are still hiding because it hasn’t warmed up yet, but is it normal that there isn’t a single bird here?
However, he also heard that all the bandits in the surrounding area had been wiped out. Although what the old shopkeeper said was harsh, it was true.
Am I really thinking too much?
Guard Tian was very hesitant, but he still followed despite the old shopkeeper's scolding.
"Forget it, I hope I'm just overthinking it."
"Walk……."
Guard Tian waved his hand and said the word "go".
Large groups began to enter the canyon one after another, and soon disappeared into the canyon.
After the last porter entered the canyon carrying a bamboo basket, all the people hiding around came out in an instant.
Whether it is behind rocks or behind ancient trees, there are almost people wherever there is a place to hide.
In an instant, the formation of the entire team transporting herbs was in chaos.
However, they had no time to think and no chance to leave.
Just as they were panicking, countless arrows shot out into the canyon like a torrential rain.
Their arrows are shot with great accuracy and in great quantity.
"There really is an ambush. What should we do now?"
Guard Tian's heart was in turmoil. What should he do?
"Why did I listen to the shopkeeper? What a fool! He reminded me several times and still said it was absolutely safe. This is the territory of the Qian family in Dasanguan."
"Now, facing the rain of swords, can these people survive and reach Dasan Pass?"
The old shopkeeper who was walking in front saw dozens of people pouring out of the valley mouth, completely blocking their way forward.
When the old shopkeeper saw what was happening, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell off his donkey.
He didn't even dare to pick up his dog-skin hat when it fell on the ground.
He ran all the way to Guard Tian who was thinking of a countermeasure.
"Help...Guardian Tian...Help..."
Little did he know that Guard Tian already wanted to kill him.
Save him? I don't have that intention.
"Get lost."
At this time, Guard Tian was extremely angry and kicked the old shopkeeper directly.
She gave him an extremely complicated look.
