Chapter 728 Chapter 728: Counter Ambush (Part 2) [Request for monthly votes]
Because he was ordered to ambush, the guard did not bring out too many troops this time, only 3,000 people were fully charged. When these 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 excited. They haven't encountered any major wars since they destroyed the Xin Kingdom. How can they make any money without fighting?
The bandits pass by like a comb, and the soldiers pass by like a grate.
Seeing the high morale, the guard raised his hand and gave the order.
Three thousand soldiers and horses left the city, and the common people in the city fled in 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 and looked around, with unstoppable fear in their eyes. Someone whispered: "What are these things doing outside again?"
Ever since this group of people arrived, there has been no peace in this place.
A commoner replied: "Are you going hunting again?"
The person who didn't understand said: "What kind of hunting are you hunting at this time of year?"
The person who understood immediately lost his color. The door was closed with a bang, and other common people watching the excitement were also afraid of getting into trouble, so they closed their doors to avoid trouble. It's not that they are too timid, it's just that these soldiers are not good people from top to bottom.
I don’t know who the bad guy said before, "A soldier who has fought a hundred battles has no place to show his bravery and sharpen his sharpness, just like scrap iron." When the guard heard this, he felt that this was reasonable, and he left the prison. He proposed that the prisoners be released into the mountains and ordered the soldiers to hunt in the mountains.
How many prisoners can there be in such a small place?
If there are not enough people, we will use captives, slaves, and exiled prisoners. If we are not having enough fun, we will use ordinary people to fill the number.
Common people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Those who spoke out were also arrested and charged.
Fortunately this activity did not last long.
Because of this incident, people were angry and resentful, forcing nearby righteous men to rise up and trigger small-scale civil unrest. The royal court therefore held the guard accountable, and the guard restrained himself. In addition, he became increasingly addicted to women, and gradually became less fond of these outdoor activities.
If you think about it carefully, we haven’t seen such a battle for a long time.
The people in the city were worried, and the guard didn't know anything about it. He just told the deputy general in charge of guarding the city: "You can guard this place with peace of mind. If you don't do it for a day or two, I will take the head of the thief with me." I'm back. I will also ask for your blessings when the time comes."
One of the lieutenants said, "Wei."
I wish you good luck on this trip."< br>
The guard rolled a black riding crop in his left hand, and held the reins firmly with his right hand. He snorted disdainfully: "What's the word 'military luck'? Military luck is won by strength and has nothing to do with God. I, the general, don't Believe in this stuff."
He suffered a lot when he was young and fought hard with his head tied to his belt. He walked up step by step and had no education. What he hated most was the hypocritical congratulations between literati and military generals. "Long-term cultural fortunes" and "prosperous military fortunes" are of no use.
The deputy general smiled a little awkwardly and responded: "The general has great martial arts skills, so naturally he doesn't need these vain people."
After the guard general finished his instructions, he led his troops out of the city.
According to the order issued by the leader Zheng Qiao, Shen Tang, one of the members of the Dragon Slaying Bureau, will lead the elite to cross the river, enter the Qianzhou area, and then head east, with the goal of being where he is stationed. Occupy this place and use it as a foundation to flank Zheng Qiao's troops in Aoshan. The Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces can also transfer their main force here to avoid fighting with Zheng Qiao's main force in the dangerous Miaojiang River.
When it comes to the level of water fighting, both sides are evenly matched.
But Zheng Qiao holds the national seal and is the leader of the expedition. He has a natural advantage in the battlefield of Miaojiang, and the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces are passive. From this point of view, Shen Tang's sneak attack was crucial.
It is even the key to the alliance's entry into Qianzhou.
The guard quickly reviewed the information in his mind.
He then grinned again.
The more critical the better, the more precious Shen Tang's head will be.
Calculating the time and distance, they can set up an ambush two days in advance. Shen Tang's soldiers and horses came from afar, and they must be a tired army. In addition, their combat strength will be suppressed when they go deep into Qianzhou, and one will wax and wane. This round is considered a sure win, and military achievements will be given away in vain.
“Drive! Keep up!”
The attraction of benefits is huge.
The three thousand ambush troops marched at an alarming speed.
The dust raised by the march could be seen from far away.
The breeze is noisy, and the leaves rustle with it.
"Father, the target is here!"
Xun Ding hurriedly came to report back to his old father.
Xun Zhen wore a scholar's scholar's shirt, and her long hair was meticulously tied into a crown. He has lost a lot of weight recently, and you can vaguely see the blue veins on his forehead. Xun Ding was worried about his father's health and asked him to eat a few more bowls every day, but he always complained that he had no appetite.
He knew that his father was worried about "liabilities".
In the previous battle, it was fun to throw money away, but it was hard to pay back the money.
Xun Ding felt it was completely unnecessary.
This is my lord’s debt, not my father’s.
We should eat and drink. Only by eating and drinking enough can we serve the Lord better, right? Seeing that the enemy was about to enter the ambush range, 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 position.
Xun Zhen cast her deep eyes in the direction of the enemy and vaguely saw a long, squirming black worm. The latter's marching team was loose but not scattered. It was still a marching formation that could be attacked and defended, and its vigilance was not weak at all.
Xun Ding also craned his neck to take a look.
“Father, our ambush will not be discovered, right?”
Xun Zhen said: "Probably not."
The enemy received information that our troops are still crossing the river at this moment, or may not even have crossed the river yet. In other words, their journey is safe. of. In a safe environment, no matter how vigilant the person is, they will relax for a moment, which is where the flaw lies.
This ambush was a maze set up by Xun Zhen and a group of literati. Because the scope was small, the precision was almost perfect. Even if a veteran like Wei Shou passed by, he would be confused if he didn't know it in advance, so Xun Zhen was sure.
Xun Ding looked down, laughing for some reason.
The old father Xun Zhen glanced at his son coldly.
I kind of don't want to admit that this guy is his biological son.
“Did your father teach you to laugh for no reason?”
The smile on Xun Ding’s mouth was stiff.
Even gloating about misfortune is not allowed these days.
Just when he was about to say a few words of grievance, Xun Zhen suddenly said with a serious expression: "Pass the message, be alert, and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
The old father was serious, so Xun Ding could no longer laugh and joke. He immediately became serious and accepted the order with clasped fists: "I will obey the order!"
The news reached Shen Tang and others very quickly.
She geared up: "My dear friends, we are here to welcome our guests!"
Gu Chi almost spit out the bitter concoction that he had not yet swallowed.
At this time, three thousand enemy soldiers had entered the maze.
Xun Zhen has the capital of pride, and he can really confuse the fake with the real. Not to mention the scenery seen with his eyes, even the wind blowing against his face when he was galloping, and the temperature of the light falling on his skin were all the same as reality. They had no idea that what they saw with their eyes was somewhat different from the path they were taking. According to their original route, they were at a fork in the road and should go left.
But under the spell of the maze, they walked to the right.
The road on the right ends at a valley. The valley is trumpet-shaped, narrow at one end and slightly wider at the other.
Once you enter and try to retreat, it will inevitably cause the "trumpet" to become blocked. Those who want to get in can't get in, and those who want to get out can't get out. The general has visited this place many times, but all for "hunting" purposes, and there are few traces of human habitation on weekdays.
Due to the terrain of the valley, there are many shadows, little sunshine, and relatively low temperatures. Even if experienced generals cannot find traces of Yanling's formation, they can still detect abnormalities through the environment.
What’s wrong——
We encountered a tough situation this time!
Wei Shou looked at the small prey crawling unsuspectingly towards the spider web, and a few proud smiles escaped his throat, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little murmuring in his heart. His new lord seemed so humble, how could he recruit so many talented scribes? Could it be that this guy's way of being a prince is such that everyone loves him, flowers bloom when he sees it, and the scribes are heartbroken when they see him?
He shook these messy thoughts out of his mind.
No matter, these scribes are colleagues anyway.
How many [Five Virtues of Generals] do you want in the future?
At the same time, the guard felt inexplicably nervous.
He couldn't help but tighten the reins, and looked around while sitting on the horse. The deputy general who followed him raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him also stopped when they saw the order. The deputy general drove his horse forward: "General?"
Hearing this, the guard turned his head.
"Do you think something is wrong here?"
The deputy general Yiyan looked around and shook his head.
The sun is warm, the wind is warm, and the surroundings are vast, nothing could be better.
The deputy general asked: "What did the general find?"
The guard tightened the muscles of his cheeks, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's nothing, just a sudden heartbeat."< br>
The deputy general was about to flatter him and tell him how powerful the warrior's intuition was, and that perhaps it was unlucky to take this road and he could take a detour. Unexpectedly, the guard said again: "Maybe it was because we made a big fuss yesterday and stayed up all night. I may have heart palpitations occasionally..."
He had a bad life before and was afraid of poverty.
Once you gain power, you will seize the time to enjoy things you have never enjoyed before, squandering wealth, indulgent sex, drinking all night long... With courage, warriors have martial energy to protect their bodies, and they are not afraid of sudden death.
It’s just that he has been living like this for too long, and it is inevitable that he has neglected his cultivation. A brave warrior is also a mortal body. After staying up all night for nearly half a year, he occasionally suffered from heart palpitations. The doctor advised him to recharge his batteries and replenish his vitality. , otherwise the energy will be exhausted and there is a risk of chest numbness.
Hearing this, the guard laughed at the doctor. Ordinary people know nothing about martial arts and courage. He has never heard of a general dying of chest paralysis.
The deputy general swallowed his words hard when he heard what he said.
“Continue!”
“Wei!”
Unknown to the guard and others, when their conversation stopped, the vanguard had already passed the "trumpet". He came so suddenly, Shen Tang in the dark had narrowed his eyes dangerously, raised his hand and was about to take action directly, while Wei Shou was responsible for the beheading operation.
“Phew—I thought I was discovered.”
Seeing that the enemy soldiers continued to trap him, Shen Tang suppressed his murderous intention.
Wei Shou: "Although this man is incompetent, he has experienced hundreds of battles. He may not be conscious, but he will still be alert when facing physical danger. Without this ability, how could he survive until now?"< br>
Shen Tang held his breath and waited patiently.
As more than half of the troops entered the "trumpet", the inexplicable panic in the guard's heart was not suppressed by him, but became more and more noisy, until a familiar sense of crisis rushed from the tailbone all the way to the brain. , the alarm bell rang loudly in his head: "Stop!"
A sharp shout came out of his mouth.
The deputy general had a sudden thought. Without waiting for the guard general to speak, he immediately raised his hand and ordered: "Form up the army and all retreat!"
The guard general raised his eyes and looked at the open scene around him.
The weeds bend in the breeze and shake their heads.
Everything was perfect, no flaws, but he always felt something was wrong. Without thinking too much, he raised his hand and waved a palm wind, aiming at a patch of grass on the side of the road. He thought there was an ambush in the grass, but he didn't expect that with this palm, it was like a huge stone thrown into the lake filled with crescent moons, causing ripples to spread out, round and round. As rocks flew, I could vaguely hear rolling rocks falling overhead.
The guard opened his mouth and cursed, and greeted the eighteen generations of his ancestors.
This is an ambush!
Someone has set up a maze here!
“Retreat!”
He shouted, tightening the reins and trying to change direction.
But where can it be so easy to leave after coming?
A sharp sense of crisis that cannot be ignored was accompanied by strong wind falling from the top of the head, and the guard made a decisive move to defend against the enemy.
His martial energy collided with the air and exploded with a bang. The strong wind and waves knocked the unprepared soldiers upside down.
This air wave was mixed with two violent martial auras, causing countless ripples in the surrounding air, as if countless raindrops broke the silence.
Crack——
The cracks expanded and extended like a spider web until they shattered.
The next breath, the vision in front of him dimmed, and the coolness penetrated into the bone marrow along the skin, causing goosebumps to appear.
The guard then saw clearly that there was a mass of pink in front of him, and the name of a familiar person automatically popped up without moving his brain. He immediately yelled: "Wei Shou, Wei Yuanyuan, damn you, you despicable barbarian, you dare to ambush us here!"
The answer was Wei Shou's kick in the face.
He crossed his arms to defend himself in front of him.
The arm armor shattered under the devastation of martial energy, the tether broke, and the guard's body also flew upside down from the horse.
Wei Shou held up a large pink ax with rose gold trim and pointed at the guard: "I ate several barrels of old dung early in the morning, and then I opened my mouth and sprayed maggots and dung residue, killing your uncle. You can curse me again." , Be careful that my ancestors will spend the night with your father."
The guard climbed up from the ruins of the cracked stone.
Wei Shou's voice directly ignited his fighting spirit.
He cursed the ancestors of Wei Shou and killed them.
Shen Tang, who was watching the battle above, was worried: "Wuhui, can Yuanyuan deal with this person? The other party seems to have high morale."
Anger can make people mad, and it can also make people explode.
The voices of Wei Shou and the enemy general yelling at each other spread throughout the battlefield. It was extremely difficult to endure these swear words while fighting.
But Shen Tang is more worried that something will happen to Wei Shou.
This place is within the territory of Qianzhou. Opposite is still a city guard. Wei Shou has surrendered to him, so his strength will be suppressed to a certain extent. The overall strength has temporarily dropped from the fifteenth level to the fourteenth level. . If the two fight, Wei Shou may suffer.
Chu Yao said quietly: "Don't worry about him."
Wu Zi commanded his soldiers to form rolling stones and smash them down.
Wei Shou has never been afraid of fighting since he was young.
Wei Shou once told him that because of the harsh living environment since he was a child, he was able to fight a giant bear bare-chested before he could muster up the courage to do so. In winter, he broke the thick ice with one punch and went into the water to bathe and catch fish. Fighting is fierce and ruthless, invincible at the same level, and the winning rate is high.

Yesterday was chaotic and chaotic, and my heart palpitations were unbearable. Today it has eased a little. Alas, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and they have to finish reciting one after another.
