Chapter 1423 Trap (3)

Lei Ming glanced at Tang Feng, saw him nodding, and immediately said with a serious face: "He is not a traitor, but our hero!"

After saying this, he showed a frivolous smile: "Our hero is your third lieutenant colonel, hehe, I believe that the brigade led by him should be wiped out by now, right? You must know that it was the mountain regiment who surrounded and suppressed them. oh."

Hearing this, the old colonel immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and the faces of the soldiers also changed drastically. The traitor turned out to be the third lieutenant colonel!

Although I don't want to believe it, I think that the proposal to ambush the bandits was suggested by the third lieutenant colonel, and the intelligence was also sent by the third lieutenant colonel to search for it. Now I am ambushed by the enemy, saying that it has nothing to do with the third lieutenant colonel. It doesn't make sense.

Pushing away the soldiers who supported him, the old colonel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared at Tang Feng and asked in a low voice: "A mountain regiment has been dispatched? Are you planning to invade on a large scale?"

Tang Feng said with a smile: "Large-scale invasion? No, we are not so arrogant. At this stage, we only occupy the area surrounded by mountains and forests. We are not interested in other places for the time being. Of course, it is only temporarily."

Lei Ming said impatiently: "Okay, old man, now you know everything, what are you waiting for? I want to send you back as an imperial colonel to show off my martial arts, young master." Said Then he waved his hands, and several strong men around him took out ropes and prepared to tie them up.

The old man's weak body suddenly straightened up. He drew out his weapon and sneered, "I have been in the army for decades, but I have never been captured. Fight!"

Immediately, the soldiers raised their weapons with great morale and roared: "Fight!"

Lei Ming shook his head disdainfully and said: "Fool!" He also drew his weapon as he spoke.

Seeing this, the old colonel froze for a moment.

"I didn't expect you, the young master, to have such courage. Looking at your dress and appearance, I thought you would hide behind."

Lei Ming sneered, and said arrogantly: "Hide in the back? What a joke! My Shanyue tribe is based on martial arts, and no man has ever died of illness in bed!

"How do you think my status as the young master of the tribe came about? Although I like fancy clothes and delicious food, I also love cleanliness, but these are not because of my status as the young master, but because I am the contemporary No.1 of the tribe." reason!"

Hearing this, the old colonel's expression darkened, and he was deeply worried about the empire that he had served all his life.

Look at the young master of a tribe, who is equivalent to the heir to the prominent nobles of the empire, who actually left his family and came to the border to join the war, and faced the enemy without fear, with enthusiasm.

And what about those contemporary youths in the empire?Horse racing, drinking, jealousy, fighting, and doing things that disturb the hearts of the people.

If this continues, the empire will be annexed by other forces sooner or later!

"Uncle, can I leave this battle to my nephew?" Lei Ming asked Tang Feng.

Tang Feng smiled and nodded.

Even though he broke away from the original tribe and belonged to the entire Shanyue tribe after he became the head of the mountain group, his original tribe name was also abandoned.But the blood of the tribe still exists, and the previous mountain chiefs also more or less took care of the tribe he was born in, so of course he couldn't avoid it.

Tang Feng is still very pleased to see his nephew in such a demeanor now.

Lei Ming who got the agreement immediately roared: "Let these imperial people know the bravery of our Shanyue tribe, and fight them one-on-one. We will let them go if they win, so as to show the broad mind of our Shanyue tribe!"

"Yes!"

The bandits surrounding the old colonel immediately yelled loudly, and then quickly vacated a large circle, and put away their weapons.

Corresponding to the remaining number of the fifth regiment, including Lei Ming, hundreds of strong men came out of the surrounding bandits.

These strong men naturally gave up the old colonel to Lei Ming. They each selected a soldier from the Fifth Regiment and stood face to face.

The soldiers of the fifth regiment also knew that this was a chance to gain life, or to draw the enemy into the water, and they were not stupid enough to take the opportunity to break through.

It is a joke for a hundred people like myself to break through the siege of tens of thousands, and it will make the enemy laugh at my weakness.In this case, why not try your best to show the majesty of the imperial army.

Lei Ming walked up to the old man colonel with a knife in his hand, and said carelessly, "Old man, don't blame me for bullying you, who told you that an old guy in his 60s can charge with a knife."

The old colonel smiled slightly: "Hmph, little guy, don't underestimate the old man, don't blame me for not reminding you if you get hacked to death by me later."

"Hmph, old guy, you have a good tongue. I don't want to talk to you too much! Look at the knife!" Lei Ming raised the knife and slashed.

The old man, the colonel, knew that his physical strength was not comparable to that of the young man, so he did not confront him head-on. He just turned the blade, and when Lei Ming's saber was drawn to one side by the old man, the old man took advantage of the situation and dragged the saber to flip upwards, cutting towards Lei Ming's chest.

Lei Ming immediately retracted his elbow, and knocked the old man's blade with the handle of the knife, and with a bang, the two quickly separated.

Feeling his back covered in cold sweat, Lei Ming couldn't help but said: "Old man, you are insidious enough. You know that your strength is not as good as mine, so you compare your saber power with me."

"Hey, little guy, you have a way too, but this is not a saber gesture. I have been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and I have long forgotten the fixed saber gesture. Come again!" The old man smiled and swung his saber forward again. .

"Come on! Young master, I'm still afraid of you, a bad old man?" Lei Ming rushed forward not to be outdone.

Only Tang Feng, who was watching the battle, raised his eyebrows when he heard the old man's words, stepped forward, and watched intently.

Unlike Lei Ming's non-stop fighting, the other hundreds of teams fought each other with one life for one life, so the battle ended quickly.

The soldiers of the fifth regiment who survived were really strong, and there were seven or eighty soldiers who won.

The bandits present all looked very ugly, but since this was a fair duel, they did not embarrass the survivors, but instead made way according to the agreement.

The soldiers looked at each other, and the five soldiers quickly ran towards the passage. After the five soldiers disappeared, the other soldiers not only did not continue to leave, but stepped forward and shouted to the surroundings: "Who is challenging us?"

The bandits who originally looked down on the five fleeing soldiers understood what was going on when they heard this. These people had already decided to die here, and the five soldiers were sent back to report the situation.

The bandits were in awe, and without much discussion, another group of bandits equal in number to the surviving soldiers came out.

The second round of competition was over, and there were only about forty surviving soldiers. After taking a breath, they continued to challenge with their heads held high.The bandits also sent their men again.

Just by looking at the appearance, one could tell that the men sent by the bandits were getting stronger and stronger. After the third round, the number of surviving soldiers dropped sharply, and less than ten survived.

Seeing these scarred soldiers still stand up and shout: "Who is challenging us?" They knock down.

Just when none of the bandits were willing to come out to pick up a bargain, Lei Ming also decided the winner.

Relying on his strong body, Lei Ming found an opportunity and quickly stabbed the old colonel's stomach with a knife.

Originally fighting with a knife was supposed to cut off the opponent's head, but for some reason, Lei Ming subconsciously changed from chopping to stabbing when he struck.

The old colonel looked at the knife on his stomach, smiled at Lei Ming and said, "Little guy, if I were ten years younger, I would have chopped off your head long ago."

Lei Ming, who was covered in bruises, nodded: "I admit this. Old man, where is your family? I will send someone to send your body back."

"No need, the habit of imperial soldiers is to die wherever they are buried." The old man said this, looked back at his subordinates, smiled, closed his eyes, and collapsed.

The few remaining soldiers immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Sir, wait a moment!" Then they drew their knives and fell to the ground without hesitation.

Seeing this tragic scene, the bandits were all dumbfounded and did not speak, and it took a while for a burst of sighs to sound out.

"Uncle, my nephew is incompetent. It took so long to kill this old man. Please punish him." Lei Ming pleaded guilty to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "You did a good job. Although the other party is old, he is still a brave man, worthy of our admiration. Don't cut off their heads and bury them respectfully."

"Yes, our Shanyue people admire such warriors the most, and we will definitely give them a good burial." Lei Ming nodded.

Following the order, the bandits began to clean the battlefield, and the uncle and nephew stood quietly watching from a high place.After a while, Lei Ming suddenly asked: "Uncle, are all the frontier troops of the Empire so fierce and brave?"

Tang Feng glanced at Lei Ming and asked, "Are you scared?"

Lei Ming* paused for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, although my nephew is unwilling to admit it, but my nephew is really afraid of encountering such a staunch and brave imperial army again."

Tang Feng sighed and said: "Yes, the empire is so huge and there are so many armies. They are not afraid of attacking you. The number of the imperial army is almost one-fifth of our total population. , is just a drop in the ocean.”

Thunder was speechless.

As the young master of the tribe, he still knew about these situations.Thinking of the population of the empire calculated in units of [-] million, the scalp becomes numb. The combined population of all the tribes of the Shanyue tribe is not as good as a fraction of the empire. If it is not for the geographical advantage, it may have been annexed by the empire long ago.

In fact, looking at the map, you can know that the countries adjacent to the Augustus Empire, except for the Freedom Alliance, which relied on strength to confront the Empire, the other countries relied on geographical advantages to stop the expansion of the Empire.

It is also because of this concern that all countries adjacent to the empire regard the empire as their greatest enemy, and will launch wars to weaken the empire's strength whenever they have the opportunity.
