Chapter 728 Chapter 728: Anti-Ambush (Part 2) [Seeking a monthly ticket]
Because he was ordered to ambush, the guard did not bring out too many troops this time, only 3,000 soldiers at full count. When the three thousand people heard the news, not only did they not panic about going to the battlefield, but they were all excited, gearing up, and feeling agitated. Since the destruction of the Xin Kingdom, they haven't encountered any major wars. How can they earn money if they don't fight?
Bandits pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate.
Seeing the high morale, the guard raised his hand and gave an order.
Three thousand soldiers and horses left the city, and the common people in the city fled watching the wind. When the smoke and dust raised by the soldiers fell and the footsteps were far away, some people timidly poked their heads out to look around, with unstoppable fear in their eyes. Someone whispered softly: "What are these things running out for?"
Since this group of people came, there will be no peace in this place.
A commoner replied: "Go hunting again?"
Humanity who didn't understand: "What kind of hunting is this season?"
Those who understood immediately lost their blood, and closed the door with a bang. Other common people who watched the excitement were also afraid of getting into trouble, so they closed their doors to avoid disaster. It's not that they are too timid, it's that these soldiers are not good things from top to bottom.
I don't know which dog leg said before, "Soldiers who have fought a hundred battles have nowhere to show their bravery and sharpen their sharpness, just like rotten iron." When the guard thought this made sense, he took the prisoner out of the prison and released him to the mountain. Order the soldiers to hunt in the mountains.
How many prisoners can there be in such a small place?
When people are not enough, captives, slaves, and exiled prisoners are used. If the fun is not enough, ordinary people are used to make up.
The common people dare not speak out.
Because those who dared to speak out were arrested and charged.
Fortunately, this activity did not last long.
Because of this matter, the heavens and the people resented, and the nearby righteous men were forced to rise up, causing small-scale civil unrest. Because of this, Wang Ting held the guard accountable, and the guard restrained himself a little. In addition, he became more and more obsessed with women, and gradually became less fond of these outdoor activities.
Calculating carefully, it’s been a long time since we saw such a battle.
The common people in the city were worried, and the guard didn't know anything about it. He just told the lieutenant in charge of guarding the city: "You can watch this place with peace of mind. After a day or two, this general will come back with the head of the thief. I will take credit for you."
A lieutenant clasped his fists and said, "Wei."
said again: "I wish the general this trip, the martial arts will be prosperous."
The guard rolled the black whip in his left hand, and held the rein firmly with his right hand, snorting disdainfully: "What's 'Wu Yun Changlong', Wu Yun is won by strength and has nothing to do with God. This general doesn't believe it. This thing."
When he was young, he suffered a lot, tied his head to the waistband of his trousers and fought hard, and walked up step by step. He has no culture, and what he hates the most is the fake congratulations among literati and generals. What "long-term cultural fortune" and "prosperous military fortune" are useless.
The lieutenant general smiled a little awkwardly, and said in agreement: "The general's martial arts skills are world-class, so naturally he doesn't need these vain brains."
After the general gave his orders, he led his troops out of the city.
According to the order given by the lord Zheng Qiao, Shen Tang, one of the members of the Dragon Slaying Bureau, will lead the elite to cross the river, and then head east after entering the Qianzhou area. The target is the place where he is stationed. Occupy this place, use this as the foundation, and flank Zheng Qiao's troops in Ousan. The coalition forces of the Dragon Slaying Bureau can also transfer the main force here to avoid fighting with Zheng Qiao's main force in the natural danger Miaojiang.
In terms of the level of water warfare, the two sides are evenly matched.
But Zheng Qiao held the national seal in his hand, and the royal driver personally marched. He has a natural advantage in the battlefield of Miaojiang, and the coalition forces of the Dragon Slaying Bureau are passive. From this point of view, Shen Tang's sneak attack is very important.
It is even the key to breaking the situation for the coalition forces to enter Qianzhou.
The guard quickly went through the information in his mind.
Then he grinned again.
The more critical the better, the more precious Shen Tang's head will be.
Calculating the time and footsteps, they can set up an ambush two days in advance. Shen Tang's soldiers and horses came from a long way, they must be a tired army. Coupled with the fact that their combat strength will be suppressed when they go deep into Qianzhou, one will ebb and flow, and this round can be regarded as a win-win, a military exploit for nothing.
"Drive! Follow up!"
The lure of interest is huge.
Three thousand ambush soldiers marched at an astonishingly fast speed.
The dust raised during the march can be seen from far away.
The wind is noisy, and the leaves are rustling.
"Father, the target is here!"
Xun Ding hurried to report to his old father.
Xun Zhen wore a literati and Confucian shirt, and her long hair was meticulously tied in a hair crown. Recently, he has lost a lot of weight, and he can vaguely see blue veins on his forehead. Xun Ding was worried about his old father's health and asked him to eat a few more bowls every day, but he always said that he had no appetite.
He knew that Father was worried about "debt".
In the previous battle, it was a pleasure to throw money, but repayment was a pain.
Xun Ding felt that it was completely unnecessary.
This is the debt of the lord and not of the father.
We should eat and drink. Only when we are full can we serve the Lord better, right? Seeing that the enemy was about to enter the range of an ambush, he immediately shared the good news with his father.
Xun Zhen heard the words and said: "Okay!"
The father and son were under the cover of the bunker, overlooking from a high place.
Xun Zhen's deep eyes turned towards the direction the enemy came from, and vaguely saw a long black worm wriggling forward. The latter's marching team is loose but not scattered, and it is still a marching formation that can be attacked or defended, and its vigilance is not weak at all.
Xun Ding also craned his neck to take a look.
"Father, our ambush will not be discovered, will it?"
Xun Zhen said: "Probably not."
According to the intelligence received by the enemy, our soldiers and horses are still crossing the river at this moment, and may not even cross the river. In other words, their journey is safe. In a safe environment, no matter how vigilant people are, they will relax for a moment, which is where the loopholes lie.
This ambush was a labyrinth jointly set up by Xun Zhen and a group of literary scholars. Because the scope is not large, the precision is almost perfect. Even if a veteran like Wei Shou passed by, he would be dazed if he didn't know it in advance, so Xun Zhen is sure.
Xun Ding looked down, and for some reason, laughed.
The old father Xun Zhen glanced at his son indifferently.
I don't want to admit that this guy is his own son.
"Did your father teach you to laugh for no reason?"
The arc of the smile on Xun Ding's mouth was stiff.
Even schadenfreude is not allowed these days.
Just as she was about to say a few words of grievance, Xun Zhen suddenly said with a serious expression: "Send the letter, be vigilant, and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
The old father was serious, and Xun Ding couldn't be joking anymore. He immediately turned serious, and accepted the order with folded fists: "The last general obeys!"
The news reached Shen Tang and others extremely quickly.
She was gearing up: "Boys, it's time to welcome the guests!"
Gu Chi almost spat out the bitter medicine that he hadn't swallowed yet.
At this time, three thousand enemy soldiers have entered the maze.
Xun Zhen has the capital to be proud, [One leaf blinds the eyes] really can confuse the real with the fake. Not to mention the scenery seen by the eyes, even the wind blowing against the face while galloping, and the temperature of the light falling on the skin is the same as the real one. They don't know that what they see with their own eyes is somewhat different from the way they are going. According to the original route, they were at a fork in the road and should go left.
But bewitched by the maze, they walked to the right.
The valley is trumpet-shaped, narrow at one end and slightly wider at the other end.
Once you enter it and try to retreat, it will inevitably cause the "bell mouth" to be blocked. Those who want to go in can't get in, and those who want to get out can't get out. This place has been guarded many times, but it is all for "hunting", and there are few traces of human habitation on weekdays.
Because of the terrain of the valley, there are many shadows, less sunshine and relatively low temperature. Experienced and seasoned generals can find abnormalities through the environment even if they can't find the traces of the formation of words.
Never mind—
I encountered a hard stubble this time!
Wei Shou looked at the unsuspecting little prey crawling towards the spider web, and a few smug smiles escaped from his throat, but at the same time, he could not help but feel a little bit of murmur in his heart. His new lord looks so inconspicuous, where can he recruit so many literary scholars with real skills? Could it be that this guy's way of the princes is that people love each other, flowers bloom when they see flowers, and scholars are desperate when they see it?
He shook these messy thoughts out of his mind.
Never mind, these scribes are colleagues anyway.
How many [Generals and Five Virtues] do you want in the future?
At the same time, the guard felt inexplicably tense.
He couldn't help tightening the reins, sitting on the horse and looking around, a lieutenant who followed raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him stopped when they saw the order. The lieutenant drove forward: "General?"
The guard turned his head when he heard the words.
"Do you think something is wrong here?"
The deputy general looked around as he said, and shook his head.
The sun is warm and the wind is warm, and the surroundings are open, which is the best.
The lieutenant general asked: "What did the general discover?"
The guard tensed the muscles of his cheeks, shook his head slowly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the sudden heartbeat is a little flustered."
The lieutenant general was about to flatter, saying how powerful a warrior's intuition is, maybe it's unlucky to take this road, and he can take a detour. Unexpectedly, the guard said again: "Maybe it was because of the big trouble yesterday, I didn't sleep all night, and I have occasional heart palpitations..."
He had a bad life before, and was afraid of poverty.
Once you gain power, hurry up and enjoy what you haven't enjoyed before, squandering wealth, indulging in sex, drinking all night... Those who rely on martial courage have martial energy to protect their body, and they are not afraid of sudden death at all.
It’s just that after such a long time, it’s inevitable that he’s neglected to practice. A warrior is also a mortal body. After staying up all night for nearly half a year, he occasionally suffers from heart palpitations. There is a risk of thoracic paralysis.
The guard heard the words and laughed at the doctor, an ordinary person, who knows what martial arts and courage, and has never heard of a general who died of chest pain.
The lieutenant general swallowed the words abruptly after hearing what he said.
"continue!"
"Wei!"
The guard and the others did not know that when their conversation stopped, the vanguard troops had already passed the "horn mouth". When he came suddenly, Shen Tang in the dark narrowed his eyes dangerously, raised his hand and was about to strike directly, and Wei Shou was in charge of beheading.
"Huh—I thought I was discovered."
Seeing that the enemy soldiers continued to enter the set, Shen Tang suppressed his killing intent.
Wei Shou: "Although this person is incompetent, he has experienced many battles. He may be unconscious, but he will still be vigilant when his body is in danger. Without this ability, he is alive?"
Shen Tang held his breath and waited patiently.
As more than half of the soldiers and horses entered the "horn mouth", the inexplicable panic in the guard's heart was not suppressed by him, but became louder and louder, until a familiar sense of crisis rushed all the way from the tailbone to the brain, and the alarm bells rang in the brain :"stop!"
A loud shout came out of his mouth in a hurry.
The lieutenant general's heart suddenly jumped, and without waiting for the general to speak, he immediately raised his hand and ordered: "The army forms an array, all retreat!"
The guard looked up at the open scene around him.
The weeds bent down with the breeze, shaking their heads.
Everything is perfect, there is no flaw, but he always feels that something is wrong. Without thinking too much, he raised his hand and waved a palm, aiming at a bush on the side of the road. He thought there was an ambush in the bushes, but with this palm, it was as if a huge boulder was thrown into the surface of a lake filled with crescent moons, and the ripples rippled, circle after circle. Following the splash of stones, I vaguely heard rolling stones falling overhead.
The guard opened his mouth and cursed, and greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors.
This is an ambush!
Someone set up a maze here!
"Withdraw!"
He shouted loudly, tightened the reins and tried to turn around.
But, where is it so easy to leave?
A sharp sense of crisis that cannot be ignored was accompanied by a strong wind falling from the top of the head, and the guard acted decisively to defend against the enemy.
His martial energy collided with the air, and exploded with a bang, and the wind and waves blew the unprepared soldiers upside down.
This air wave is mixed with two violent martial qi, and there are countless ripples in the surrounding air, as if there are countless raindrops breaking the silence.
click—
The fissure expands and extends like a spider web until it shatters.
With the next breath, the eyesight in front of him dimmed, and the coolness penetrated the skin and penetrated into the bone marrow, making goose bumps stand out.
The guard finally saw a cloud of pink in front of him, and a familiar name automatically popped up without turning his brain. He immediately yelled: "Wei Shou, Wei Yuanyuan, you bastard, you lowly savage, how dare you set us up here!"
It was Wei Shou who answered him with a kick in the face.
He folded his arms against his face.
The gauntlets shattered under the ravages of martial energy, the tethers split, and the body of the guard also flew upside down from the horse.
Wei Shou held up a large ax with a pink and tender rose gold border, and pointed at the guard: "I ate a few barrels of old dung early in the morning, and sprayed maggots and dung with my mouth, which will kill your uncle. You can curse again!" , be careful that my ancestors find your father to spend a good night together."
The guard climbed up from the cracked rock ruins.
Wei Shou's voice directly ignited his fighting spirit.
Cursing Wei Shouzuzu in his mouth, he killed him.
Shen Tang, who was watching the battle above, said worriedly: "Wu Hui, Yuan Yuan can solve this person, right? The other party seems to have a high morale."
Anger is dementing and it can explode.
The voices of Wei Shou and this enemy general scolding each other spread all over the battlefield, and it is difficult to endure these swear words while fighting.
But Shen Tang was more worried that something would happen to Wei Shou.
This place is in the territory of Qianzhou, and the opposite is still a city guard. Wei Shou has surrendered to himself, and his strength will be suppressed to a certain extent. The overall strength has temporarily dropped from the fifteenth rank to the fourteenth rank. If the two fight, Wei Shou may suffer.
Chu Yao said calmly: "Don't worry about him."
He commanded the soldiers to form a formation and throw rolling stones down.
Compared with dry battles, Wei Shou has never been counseled since he was a child.
Wei Shou once told him that because of the harsh living environment since he was a child, he was able to fight against giant bears bare-chested before he could muster up his courage. The battles are fierce and ruthless, invincible in battle at the same level, and the winning rate is full.

Yesterday was a turbulent day, and my heart palpitations were unbearable, but today it eased a little. Alas, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and they read one after another.
