Chapter 80 Ambush (1)
In the evening, Ye Mingsheng was lying on the straw mat in the camp, closing his eyes and concentrating, thinking about what to do next when entering the Huishan Mountains. Suddenly, he heard that the originally quiet military camp had become a little noisy, which disturbed him.
Unable to think about things in peace, he stood up and walked out of the tent to see what was going on outside.
As soon as Ye Mingsheng came out and hadn't gone far, he saw twenty or thirty Gongdu farmers in rags walking silently from the gate of the military camp, carrying bags of grain on their backs without saying a word.
, walked towards the camp where Kong Ruian was in charge of the baggage supplies.
"Young Master, this is from Luwang Town, bringing us military rations! The people from the palace in Luwang Town are quite sensible. Master Chen didn't rush them, but they took it upon themselves to deliver the things to our door!"
Ye Kui, who was guarding outside the camp, saw Ye Mingsheng looking at these common people, and immediately stepped forward and introduced:
Hearing Ye Kui's introduction, a faint doubt flashed through Ye Mingsheng's eyes. Looking at the farmers in front of him who were silently carrying food without saying a word, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
··········
After observing this group of people for a while, Ye Mingsheng still couldn't figure out "what was wrong". He just thought that everyone in the group was suspicious, and after laughing at himself, he was about to turn around and return to the camp.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
However, as soon as he turned around and before he could take two steps, there were suddenly two loud explosions in the distance, like gunpowder explosions.
Then, when Ye Mingsheng was a little confused and hadn't realized what was happening, a guard who was following Chen Yannian outside the camp gate suddenly ran in, his face turned red and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Master Chen is reporting to the Commander-in-Chief that there are large-scale bandits attacking from the west. Master Chen has gone to resist them. Commander-in-Chief, please send troops to help as soon as possible!"
When Ye Mingsheng heard the news, his expression suddenly became solemn. He knew the priorities of the matter. Out of his trust in Chen Yannian, he didn't think too much and just shouted loudly:
"Where are the messengers? Assemble!"
"Ohh Ohh ohh···"
"Ohh Ohh ohh···"
As Ye Mingsheng issued the order, the messengers in the military camp immediately blew their bugles.
Although the soldiers in the military camp are in the process of recuperation at this time, some are resting, some are eating, and some are doing other things...
However, good military discipline allowed them to immediately put down what they were doing when they heard the bugle sound, put on their armor, and quickly gathered in the open space of the military camp in front of Ye Mingsheng.
Seeing that Wang Xian's two hundred soldiers in the open space had taken the lead to complete the assembly, and Wang Xian himself looked impatient because he was worried about Chen Yannian's safety, Ye Mingsheng decisively ordered: "Wang Xian, lead your troops and go first."
, I will arrive with the main force later!"
"yes!"
With Ye Mingsheng's order, Wang Xian did not hesitate and immediately led his men and horses towards the west of Luwang Town.
About two minutes after Wang Xian left, the remaining 500 soldiers in the military camp had also assembled. Just when Ye Mingsheng was about to lead the main force to rush for reinforcements, Pei Zhixiu's urgent voice came to his ears.
"General! No!"
"What's the matter with you?" Ye Mingsheng, who was about to mount his horse, was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Pei Zhixiu with some confusion as he walked out of the tent with a worried look on his face and trotted over.
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Pei Zhixiu, who was out of breath, bit her lips lightly, a look of color in her bright eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she was a little hesitant.
Seeing Pei Zhixiu like this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but frown, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Miss Pei, if you have anything to do, we can come back and talk about it. I have an urgent military situation to deal with now..."
While talking about Ye Mingsheng, he ignored Pei Zhixiu and just got on his horse and led his troops out of the camp to rush to Chen Yannian's aid.
"The people who enter the military camp to deliver food are Japanese!" Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was really leaving, Pei Zhixiu, who was worried about Ye Mingsheng's comfort, could not care about anything else. She grabbed the reins directly with her delicate hands and whispered to Ye Mingsheng:
As soon as she said this, Ye Mingsheng was stunned, and he suddenly realized. Pei Zhixiu's words reminded him, no wonder he always felt that something was wrong with that group of people. Twenty or thirty rural farmers gathered together, how could they not whisper, how could they?
So quiet, without the slightest sound of conversation?
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Ye Mingsheng immediately looked back and looked around, trying to find the group of "farmers" who were delivering food. But to his surprise, the group of farmers who were still here just now had completely disappeared.
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng undoubtedly became more convinced of Pei Zhixiu's statement.
Although he didn't know what these Japanese people wanted to do when they sneaked into his military camp, Ye Mingsheng thought about it quickly and decisively ordered:
"Lin Huaiwu, you lead your troops to help Chen Yannian! The others stay here and find those bugs!"
"As you command!"
After receiving the order, Lin Huaiwu did not hesitate at all. Under Ye Mingsheng's order, he led his two hundred men and hurried towards the west city.
As for the remaining two hundred soldiers, under the leadership of Ye Tie, they formed a fighting formation and began to search the temporary military camp that had just been stationed there.
The military camp of 700 people was not large, so soon the soldiers of the imperial army discovered the Japanese disguised as farmers hiding next to the grain trucks in the rear camp at the baggage camp.
At this time, this group of Japanese had already pulled out sharp Japanese knives from the grain bags they had sent in, and were plotting something. Unfortunately, before they had time to take action, more than two hundred forbidden soldiers were already killed.
Surrounded by people.
Surrounded by many soldiers, Ye Mingsheng looked at the group of fierce Japanese holding Japanese swords in front of him. Ye Mingsheng was really lucky. If Pei Zhixiu hadn't reminded him, he would have led the main force to help Chen Yannian by now, so
There are only this group of Japanese pirates in the military camp, and the consequences will be really unimaginable...
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but look at Pei Zhixiu next to him with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and whispered: "Miss Pei, thank you very much!"
Pei Zhixiu looked a little absent-minded in response to Ye Mingsheng's thanks. She just said "hmm" lightly as a response. For some reason, when she looked at the ferocious-looking Japanese pirates in front of her, there was a hint of unbearability in her beautiful eyes.
