Chapter Ten: Ambush at Black Wind Gorge

  Li Qiang fearlessly charged at Pei Yuanshao, who was as fierce as a wolf and tiger, shaking his double hammers with both hands. Yang Dian knew that Pei Yuanshao was brave and powerful, and he feared that Li Qiang would be defeated alone, so he gritted his teeth and rushed forward too.

  "This Li Hanzi really doesn't know what's good for him, clearly knowing that Pei Yuanshao is brave and fierce, yet he still charges forward. With a few casual moves, he could have lured Pei Yuanshao into the ambush. What a bother!"

  Yang Dian complained about Li Qiang on one side, and occasionally took advantage of the quietness to launch an attack on Pei Yuanshao, who was in a stalemate with Li Qiang. After two rounds of fighting, Yang Dian learned his lesson and kept a certain distance from Pei Yuanshao, lest he would always look for trouble.

  Li Qiang, although not skilled in martial arts routines, relied on his physical strength to engage in a fierce battle with Pei Yuanshao. Occasionally, he would reveal an opening and be caught by Pei Yuanshao, but Yang Dian, with his venomous gaze, would timely lend a helping hand.

  The three of them unknowingly fought for fifty rounds, and although Li Qiang was in a precarious situation, under Yang Dian's joint attack, he became more courageous. When Yang Dian saw that the timing was ripe, he secretly gave Li Qiang a signal and retreated first by pulling on the reins.

  Li Qiang seemed reluctant to part with him, and after exchanging a few moves with Pei Yuanshao, he also turned his horse's head and rushed towards the formation.

  "Hmph, I knew you bunch of rats would try to escape again. Tonight, I'll mobilize all my men and make sure you county dogs have no way out!"

  Pei Yuanshao hummed in a low voice, shouting "Pursue!" Eight hundred bandits swarmed out of the mountains like an overwhelming tide, their battle cries echoing through Heifeng Mountain.

  Yang Dian and Li Qiang led two hundred light cavalry in a swift gallop. Seeing the Black Wind bandits pursuing closely, they couldn't help but sneer coldly in their hearts.

  "Let you this group of thieves be arrogant for now, soon I will make you all cry out for your fathers and mothers, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy!"

  Yang Dian secretly scolded in his heart.

  "Yang Ya Jiang, just ahead is the Black Wind Gorge where our host has set an ambush. Let's slow down a bit and wait for those Black Wind bandits to gather." Li Qiang had sharp eyes and saw from afar the spot where Wen Han had agreed to meet, and immediately reminded Yang Dian.

  Yang Dian shouted "Slow down!", and the two hundred light cavalry immediately slowed down. Behind them, the Black Wind bandits gradually caught up. Fortunately, the Black Wind Fort didn't have many horses, otherwise Wen Han's plan would be quite difficult to execute this time.

  Because, horses represent mobility. If Heifeng Mountain has many horses, Pei Yuanshao can lead his men and horses to quickly pursue them, and it is even more possible that before reaching the ambush point, he will eliminate the soldiers and horses of Xie County.

  "Alright, it's almost done. Let's head into Black Wind Gorge!"

  Yang Dian saw that the main force of Hei Feng Zei was about to catch up, so he hastily ordered his soldiers to speed up and maintain a distance from the main force of Hei Feng Zei.

  "Xie County dogs, don't run! Quickly kneel down and beg for mercy, I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, if my sons catch up to you, I will definitely chop the corpses of you Xie County dogs into pieces and feed them to those jackals!"

  Bai Yuanshao saw the figures of Yang Dian and Li Qiang, and immediately became overbearing. Today, he had fought three battles, each of which made him extremely frustrated, and the flames in his heart had reached their highest point.

  He had already fantasized about it and was waiting for the opportunity to catch up with this group of soldiers from Jie County, so that he could deal with them and relieve his own hatred.

  Pei Yuanshao was thinking, and he didn't forget to let the troops speed up, unaware that his main force was walking in an extremely narrow gorge.

  Rumble...!

  Suddenly, a loud noise like a landslide burst forth continuously.

  Enormous boulders came crashing down from both sides of the gorge!

  Every stone that fell would crush a dozen or so people into minced meat. Some thieves who saw this scene were frightened and vomited on the side, and some were even scared to incontinence.

  One after another mournful and piercing howl echoed through the entire canyon.

  "It's a direct hit! Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!" Pei Yuanshao stared with wide eyes, just now a huge boulder had brushed past him, almost crushing him to pieces.

  Under the threat of death, he was terrified. Pei Yuanshao finally felt that his life was so fragile just now.

  No matter how strong his martial arts skills were, he couldn't cut through that huge boulder that had just been smashed over.

  A fierce commotion erupted inside the Black Wind Bandits, everyone seemed to have gone mad as they rushed towards the exits on both sides. At this moment, no one paid attention to Pei Yuanshao's orders, escaping with their lives was the top priority.

  "It's blocked!!!!! The exit on the east side is blocked by a huge boulder!!!!!!"

  "Go west quickly!!!! There is still an exit over there!!!!!"

  "It's all over, we're done!!!!!! The exit on the west side is also blocked by a huge boulder!!!!!!!"

  "Ahhhhhh~~~~!!! We surrender, we surrender!!"

  The Black Wind Thieves fell into a state of chaos, with some people dropping their weapons and kneeling to beg for mercy. Some climbed onto the giant boulders blocking the exit, trying to climb out, but the boulders were piled high, and it was impossible to climb out for the time being.

  At the same time, Wen Han, standing on the mountain pass, was pale. He looked at the red command flag in his hand and knew that once this flag fell, the 300 archers waiting for his order would shoot wildly, and after a few rounds of shooting, most of the Black Wind bandits would be dead!

  This fall will kill more than 400 people.

  Although Wen Han killed many people when he was a special agent in the later generations, they were all people who deserved to die. Moreover, Wen Han had never tried to kill so many lives at once.

  These people all have parents and only because they are unable to clothe themselves or fill their stomachs do they turn to a life of crime. They are living, breathing lives!

  "Dear brother, if you feel unbearable, then surrender to them now."

  Zhou Leng, who was standing beside him, seemed to see Wen Han's inner thoughts and advised him with a face that couldn't bear to look at him.

  "No! I must kill! I have to kill! Otherwise, this group of unruly Black Wind bandits will not submit to me. That Pei Yuanshao will not be willing to be captured by me."

  I must beat them until they are afraid, beat them until they dare not disobey. Beat them so that their hearts will be filled with fear of me! From now on, whenever they think of today's events, they will not dare to disobey me!"

  Wen Han let out a loud roar in his heart! His face suddenly turned cold, and the crimson command flag in his hand fell abruptly!

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!

  An arrow pierced the sky, those black wind bandits looked up and saw that the entire sky was filled with dense rows of bows and arrows.

  No!!!!!!!

  Arrow after arrow pierced through the body of the Black Mountain bandit, and a more mournful cry than before echoed through the sky.

  A black wind bandit fell to the ground with multiple arrows in his body, his eyes filled with disgust for this world. However, before he died, a comforting smile appeared on his face.

  Perhaps it was a kind of liberation. In this chaotic world, he no longer needed to struggle desperately to survive.

  Some of the bandits from Montenegro were terrified, dodging the incoming arrows, but those arrows seemed endless, no matter where they escaped to, they would find that there were still arrows coming down on their heads.

  In this space, it seems like there are only two things left. Those are screams of pain and blood.

  "Enough! Younger brother, enough! If you continue to shoot, there will be no one left!" Zhou Lun suddenly grabbed Wen Han's hand that was about to drop the command flag again, his face as white as frost. Looking at Wen Han's unfamiliar face, although it still had a childish appearance, but the numb expression that chilled people to the bone made Zhou Lun shiver all over!

  Wen Han stopped in his tracks, opened his mouth, and only then realized that his heart was still beating.

  This is a chaotic world! This is the late Eastern Han Dynasty, an era where people are killed like flies.

  "You can surrender now." Wen Han's voice was cold and hard, echoing loudly in the suddenly silent canyon.

  "Spare us! We surrender! Have mercy on us, sir! Have mercy on us! Spare our lives!"

  The desperate Black Wind thieves, upon hearing that there was still a glimmer of hope, all knelt down and begged for mercy from Wen Han with tears streaming down their faces. Having just witnessed the bloody scene earlier, as long as they could survive, they would not hesitate to kill their own brothers at this point!

  Pei Yuanshao's eyes were dull and he stared blankly at the surrounding Heifeng thieves who had been scared out of their wits, knowing that there was no way to turn things around. His legs went weak and he also knelt down, lowering his proud head.

  Wen Han saw at a glance that Pei Yuanshao's robust body was like an ox, and knew he had lost his will to resist.

  "Pei Yuanshao, I will let you win three battles in a row, and then tonight, I'll lure you into this mountain pass and take your life with ease."

  "May I ask you, will you comply?"

  Although his voice sounded inexperienced and gave the impression that he was not old, at this moment, no one in the canyon dared to underestimate him.

  Pei Yuanshao thought back to the scenes that had unfolded today, from his initial invincibility to his eventual defeat. Pei Yuanshao couldn't help but admit defeat, his opponent's intelligence and strategy were superior, not to mention that his own life was now in someone else's hands.

  He, Pei Yuanshao. Can't bear it? Dare not bear it?

  Disobedience is death! He Pei Yuanshao still wanted to live, now he's dead, it's really too pitiful!

  "The defeated general dare not disobey. I, Pei Yuanshao, surrender!" Pei Yuanshao bellowed loudly, banging his head heavily on the ground, and in an instant, he seemed to have lost all his strength.

  "Really! Are you willing to be my wife?"

  "I wish!"

  Two people asked and answered, and the water flowed into the ditch. In this process, Yang Dian frowned when Wen Han recovered Pei Yuanshao, but when he thought of Wen Han's method, he eliminated the unhappiness in his heart.

  "It's better not to offend such a person. The benefits of being friends with him far outweigh the benefits of being his enemy!" This was Yang Dian's inner thought at that time.
