Chapter 107 At the critical moment of life and death, countless bamboo tubes fell

"What?"

Upon hearing the scout's report, Wang Ben's face changed with shock as he reacted the most strongly.

"How many bandits are there?"

"No less than three thousand."

"Three thousand?" Wang Ben frowned. If the bandits attack, it will be a fierce battle.

The next moment, he immediately ran to Ying Zheng and knelt down to ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, please go back to the mountain immediately. I will lead two thousand troops, no, one thousand and five troops to stop the bandits at the foot of the mountain."

There are currently less than 3,000 troops, and the number of thieves and bandits is no less than 3,000. If they are all used to fight the enemy, the emperor will lack people to protect him, which will definitely be very dangerous. Wang Ben can only make up his mind and only need 1,500 troops.

Ying Zheng's meditation was broken by the sudden information. He frowned. Seeing Wang Ben like this, he reprimanded, "This is like seeking death!"

It’s not surprising that Ying Zheng said this. The number of bandits is greater than that of his own army, and they also have weapons that can kill people invisible. Not to mention an army of 1,500, even if it is said that 3,000 troops are seeking death, it is not known that the 3,000 troops in front have been lost.

, can't even defeat the thieves' soldiers?

Wang Ben's eyes were firm: "I know that I am seeking death, but the situation does not allow me to refuse. I can only die to protect your majesty's safety."

Ying Zheng was very moved. Thinking about Li Zhao in Zhao Gao's mouth, he felt very angry and resentful.

"Can this weapon be used?" Ying Zheng glanced at the pile of fire guns next to him.

Wang Ben shook his head and said helplessly: "I was just playing around with it, but it doesn't work."

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought. This weapon was unusable. It would be difficult to fight the bandits with primitive weapons.

Seeing that there was no movement from His Majesty, Wang Ben became anxious and urged, "Your Majesty, please return to the mountain immediately. With your ministers here, the thieves and bandits will not be allowed to set foot on the mountain." He had the spirit to regard death as if he were returning home.

Ying Zheng was moved by this, but ignored it and said angrily: "I, the Qin Dynasty, destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. When have I ever been afraid of anyone?"

"You don't need to say any more. I order you to immediately lead three thousand troops to respond to the enemy and capture all the rebellious people."

"I stand here on my own to see how beautiful you are."

After saying these words, everyone around him immediately fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. The bandits are fierce and invincible. Please return to the palace immediately and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Three thousand soldiers also knelt down and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Your Majesty, please think again!"

Ying Zheng looked at the loyal warriors and sighed with emotion, and he couldn't help but say: "I am the true warrior of the Qin Dynasty! However, I have made up my mind. I can't say anymore. I will respond to the enemy!"

"His Majesty!"

"Don't say it again. Violators will be punished by military orders."

Wang Ben couldn't defeat the emperor, so he stood up, glanced at the bandits who had appeared one after another below, and immediately ordered: "I, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, obey my order and respond to the enemy immediately. I swear to protect your majesty."

"Wind, strong wind."

The sound shook the mountainside, and every soldier looked at death as though he were home.

This is a life and death situation. If the battle to protect the emperor is defeated and the emperor is captured, no one knows what the consequences will be, but everyone can be sure that the country will be in danger.

If we win, all this will be avoided, but no one dares to say that we can win, and no one has much hope. They can only be determined to protect the emperor with death and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

"Soldiers, we know that this battle is a battle to the death, but we must still fight. Even if we die, we must die with honor and a worthy death. I give you a task, which is to delay as much time as possible and wait for reinforcements."

"Wind, strong wind."

"We will fight to the death to hold back the bandits and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

The soldiers roared loudly and were extremely heroic.

"Okay, the bandits' weapons are too powerful for us to fight. Listen to my order, gather both wings, and quickly go down the mountain to hold the only way."

Kuaiji Mountain is a dangerous mountain with abrupt peaks and countless cliffs. However, the only way to enter the mountain is a narrow place, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As long as we hold on to this place, we can hold on to the mountains and delay for enough time.

Wang Ben only led two thousand troops to guard the key position, while a thousand troops guarded the emperor's side.

Soon, we arrived at the mountain pass.

The mountain pass cannot be said to be wide, nor can it be said to be narrow. It is more than enough for a thousand people to line up and pass by without any defense. To hold the two wings without special means is to seek death.

Wang Ben saw this and took defensive measures to defend this place.

Time passed, and from the perspective of the soldiers, every minute was so difficult. The scorching sun was shining and the earth was suffering. The soldiers seemed to be tortured and kept breathing heavily.

Suddenly, outside the mountain pass, an order to assemble rang out. It was the bandits who were about to attack.

Wang Benke could hear more and more bandits running towards this side, making all kinds of unpleasant noises, but they did not dare to act rashly and stared at the entrance.

"Listen to my order. Just wait for the bandits to enter and then rush forward to fight with them. We must not let them get too far away from us."

This is the only strategy available today.

"promise!"

Wang Ben led his lieutenant to a high place and had a clear view of the situation at the bottom of the mountain.

I saw that two thousand people had gathered below, and more people were filing in this way. They were holding the same magical weapons, and the round holes were all pointed at the mountain pass.

In less than two-quarters of an hour, three thousand people had already gathered. They were well-equipped with blue magical weapons. It could be seen that the thieves had gone to great lengths to ambush them.

Wang Ben's expression was stern, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes fixed on him.

They thought that three thousand people was their limit, but seeing more and more bandits, Wang Ben frowned even more.

This is different from the information obtained. There cannot be only three thousand bandits. Judging from the current situation, there are four thousand.

Yes, in just a few seconds, four thousand people had gathered and densely surrounded the mountain pass. However, they did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they checked the terrain and sent people to tentatively walk in.

, but were ambushed without exception.

This seemed to be an unsolvable trend, but Zhang Liang, who was standing high up, curled his lips and showed a disdainful smile.

He said something in the deputy's ear. Soon, the deputy led a group of people towards the tent camp. After a while, there was a rustling sound in the woods.

Wang Ben's eyes also fell here, and he looked at it with a frown.

The next moment, he saw a passing chariot and a traveling horse.

"No, the thieves are very cunning and have such weapons." Wang Ben's face turned ugly.

The chariot is the fortress, which is the best weapon to advance defense when the two armies are fighting. Together with the horse, the defense effect is even better. In other words, with these two weapons, the bandits can advance steadily into the mountain pass, greatly reducing the chance of an ambush.

Harmful.

This is the best way to defeat an ambush at a mountain pass. In this case, such a favorable position will become very limited.

"General, what should we do?" the deputy general frowned and asked solemnly.

Wang Ben's forehead formed the character "王", and his body tensed up. The next moment, he clenched his fist with unusual force, as if he was determined to give up.

"The only solution now is to hold on and fight to the last man."

"Even if we are defeated, we will kill most of them."

The deputy general stood up straight, bowed deeply to Wang Ben, and said solemnly: "General, I will not disappoint you, but please protect the emperor from here immediately, and let me kill the thief!"

The lieutenant knelt down, his attitude extremely sincere.

Wang Ben did not move. He patted the deputy general's shoulder lightly and sighed, "You and I have worked together for many years, but you don't understand my character. As a general, life and death are determined by fate, but you cannot retreat in the face of battle. Do you understand?"

The deputy general stood in awe and bowed deeply again.

"General's justice!"

Wang Ben did not answer, but looked far away, feeling deeply, and smiled bitterly.

"I have killed countless enemies throughout my life as a general. Faced with this situation, I have no way to break it. It is really ironic!"

"Looking at Li Zhao, he is good, but I am far behind him."

"How ridiculous! A hundred troops were attacked by thousands of thieves, but they killed five thousand thieves and were unharmed. Look at me again, with three thousand troops in hand, there is no chance of winning, and the whole army may be annihilated."

"Haha! How ridiculous."

The deputy general heard that the general was being self-sarcastic, extremely self-sarcastic.

"That's all, as a general, there is nothing to fear from death."

What the two people who were talking didn't know was that just as the bandits were gathering one after another and converging densely at the mountain pass, there was one place that looked very strange.

In the dense forest not far away, the weeds are lush and lush, enough to cover a person.

It is still here, and there are big birds flying and landing, having a great time; small birds chase and shuttle through it, and there are wild animals stopping, seeming to watch the gathering of the mountain pass with interest, but they can't startle them.

But what they don't know is that among the weeds, things covered with green grass branches and leaves are moving, not very fast, but without affecting the surrounding animals.

They were like grass worms, approaching the mountain pass.

Inside the mountain pass, high up.
