However, Chen Dao said that he had assembled a thousand soldiers and horses to go to Huangniu Mountain to exterminate the bandits. The reason why there was a team of one thousand men was because when Chen Dao went to Yangping County to read out Liu Bei's order, he only took a thousand men with him. of. But the rest of his team was at the garrison and was not brought out. However, Chen Dao believed that his thousand soldiers were enough to wipe out the more than a thousand bandits. Even Wang Fen once said that three thousand bandits were enough to wipe out. These thousand people are the new army that I have recently organized and trained. There are three types of arms, sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and archers. I came out this time because I wanted to take the opportunity of suppressing bandits to test my new army. Five hundred sword and shield soldiers, two hundred spearmen, and three hundred archers. These one thousand people were arranged by Chen Dao himself after hearing Liu Bei's request. They were basically a one-size-fits-all force combination. However, Chen Dao never imagined that the enemies he was about to face this time were not one thousand, nor three thousand, but a full five thousand. According to his brother Wang Fen's request, Wang Dang separated a thousand bandits, and then sent them out to plunder, deliberately letting the officers and soldiers find out their whereabouts, and then lured them to come to suppress the bandits. Finally, he and others He led the remaining bandits to ambush, preparing to give Chen Dao a surprise. Wang Fen knew that Chen Dao only came with a thousand troops, so he came up with a way to bully Chen Dao, a young soldier, and wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate, otherwise he would not dare to give him more troops. Plunder the tiger's beard. Chen Dao and Pei Yuanshao went straight to Huangniu Mountain with a thousand soldiers and horses. Chen Dao still did not forget to send scouts along the way to inquire along the way, for fear of being ambushed by thieves. There is a ditch in front of Huangniu Mountain. The locals named this ditch after Huangniu Mountain. It is called Shicaogou, which is a metaphor for the cattle trough. They also look forward to a harvest every year and enough food every year. When Chen Dao led his army to Shicaogou, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly raised his hand to stop the advancing team. "General? What's wrong?" Pei Yuanshao asked without knowing why. "You see why it is so quiet in the dense mountains and dense forests. You can't even hear the chirping of birds. Don't you think it's strange?" Chen Dao pointed to the mountains and forests in front of him and said to Pei Yuanshao. Pei Yuanshao looked around, and it was as Chen Dao said. He was about to speak, but he didn't expect a loud laugh. "Hahahaha, Chen Dao is indeed a general under Liu Bei. He can actually see through my ambush. But no matter how smart you are, you still have to drink my footwashing water." Wang Fen laughed and turned out from behind the tree. , and then with a wave of his hand, a thousand bandits around him rushed forward. When the soldiers saw that there was an ambush, they did not panic. The sword and shield soldiers holding large shields hurriedly stepped forward to form a formation, surrounding Chen Dao and Pei Yuanshao and protecting them. The spearmen also hurriedly stepped forward and lined up behind the sword and shield soldiers. They put the spears in their hands over the heads of the sword and shield soldiers and stretched them out diagonally, pointing directly at the rushing thieves. The archers also trotted one by one, got into the formation of sword and shield soldiers, took out their bows and arrows, put them on their bows, and only waited for an order to shoot the arrows in their hands. The sword and shield soldiers at the back also stepped forward after the archers entered the formation, and slammed the large shield into the ground, blocking it at the end. In the blink of an eye, a circular formation was completed. Looking at the officers and soldiers who quickly formed their formation, Wang Fen couldn't help but be startled. She couldn't believe that the soldiers led by Chen Dao were so elite that they didn't even show a trace of panic when encountering an ambush. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were already in formation, the thieves and soldiers hesitated to step forward and turned to look at their leader one by one. Although Wang Fen was a little surprised, she did not take Chen Dao's thousand men seriously. She knew that she still had four thousand troops. "Wang Fen, you thief, just come over here." At this time, Chen Dao saw Wang Fen mixed with these bandits and couldn't help but shouted. "Shu Zi, you are just showing off your bravery, you guys, kill me!" Wang Fen dismissed Chen Dao's words, drew out the sword from his waist, drew it forward, and said to the bandits. I have to say that Wang Fen is also extremely cunning. He is worried that all his troops will come out and scare Chen Dao away, so he just puts a thousand troops in front to fight the best. If he can't defeat them, he can still entangle them and give himself a chance. Mobilize the troops behind to buy time. "Fire the arrow." Chen Dao didn't panic when he saw the bandits rushing towards him. He still sat on his horse, drew his spear forward and ordered. The arrows left the string and flew into the air, then roared in and pierced the bandits one after another. "Ah!" "Ah, I was hit by an arrow." "Ah, help!" This round of three hundred arrows killed nearly two hundred people, and dozens more were injured and fell to the ground wailing. "Put it out again!" Chen Dao said againTao. Another three hundred sharp arrows roared down, killing many bandit soldiers again. "Fire again!" After three rounds of arrows, there were not many bandit soldiers left. The few who rushed forward were stabbed by the spearmen before they could get close to the sword and shield soldiers. die. "Wang Fen, it's a shame that you still claim to be a celebrity and are just collaborating with the bandits, but you actually dare to show your shame with such little ability." Chen Dao sat on his horse, pointing the spear in his hand at Wang Fen and laughed. "Hmph! Shu Zi, don't be so arrogant." Wang Fen could not have imagined that all these thousand bandit soldiers would be dead in less than a tea cup, and he couldn't help but feel contempt for the fighting power of these bandit soldiers. It would have taken a lot of effort for them to kill even a thousand pigs. Who would have thought that they only fired three rounds of arrows and they won. He had no choice but to let the private soldiers ambushing behind him step forward again. As mentioned last time, these private soldiers are all equipped with the equipment of the regular army. Whether it is the leather armor they wear or the weapons they hold, they are all the same as the regular army. When Chen Dao saw this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he had miscalculated. He didn't expect that Wang Fen actually had three thousand bandit troops, and the equipment was so good. It seemed that the battle was going to be successful. "Wang Fen is a thief who has no king and no father. He stole weapons privately. He really deserves death. Why don't you come here to die?" Chen Dao pointed at Wang Fen and cursed loudly. In fact, Chen Dao¡¯s scolding was not wrong at all. Wang Fen in history was a man without a king or a father. He once served as the governor of Jizhou. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he united with Zhou Jing of Pei Kingdom and Xu You of Nanyang to try to depose Emperor Ling and establish the Marquis of Hefei. He also tried to persuade Cao Cao to participate, but Cao Cao refused. Wang Fen wanted to take advantage of Emperor Ling's northern tour to take advantage of the situation. He sent troops to prevent black mountain bandits in order to cause trouble, but in the end Emperor Ling stopped his troops and summoned him to the court. He was afraid and committed suicide.
