Chapter 639 Ambush

"Captain, people from the Foreign Intelligence Agency are here." A soldier with a tiger-shaped flag holding a gun ran over with his waist bowed.

The person who was called the captain was a young man with a calm face. He was wearing a piece of mail and had a wild goose feather sword in his hand. He was squatting behind the hillside.

He glanced at his subordinates who ran over to deliver the message and said, "Bring the people here."

The gunman waved in the direction behind him.

A young and strong man walked over, followed by two gunmen.

"Captain Zhou."

As soon as they met, the young man raised his hand to the young man squatting on the ground.

"Sit down and talk." Zhou Qingyun pressed his hand, motioning for the other party to sit down, and then asked: "When will those people arrive?"

"It's almost time." The strong young man squatted down and said, "Those people will definitely arrive in half an hour at most. It's up to you, Captain Zhou, to follow."

Zhou Qingyun showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said: "Don't worry, they can't take away the things."

"Captain Zhou's words put me at ease." The young and strong man cupped his hand and then said, "Those Jin Yiwei are all riding horses. Our captain said it is better to use bows and arrows and less firecrackers, so even if there are Jin Yiwei,

Even if you escape, you won’t be suspicious of our Tiger Flag, we will just think that it was done by ordinary bandits.”

"Bows and arrows?" Zhou Qingyun frowned and said, "My military team is a firecrackers team. Everyone is good at using firecrackers, but few people know how to use bows and arrows."

The young and strong man smiled and said: "I heard that Captain Zhou used to be a member of the archer camp. He must have not forgotten his ability to use a bow, right?"

"You can still hit it within thirty steps." Zhou Qingyun said, "It's a pity that there are no bows and arrows here. I'm afraid it will be too late to go back to get them."

He was born in the Archer Battalion. Later, the Tiger Flag changed to use fire blunderbuss, and the archers in the Archer Battalion were divided into several combat brigades. He rarely used bows and arrows anymore, and switched to using fire blunderbuss.

"I have brought a bow." The young and strong man smiled, and then said to a gunman beside him, "Please go to my horse and bring me the bow and arrows."

Zhou Qingyun pondered for a moment and said: "It's not enough for me to use a bow and arrow alone. There are more than one Jin Yiwei. I only have a chance of two arrows. I can't keep everyone."

"You don't need to stop the guards in imperial robes," said the strong young man, "just stop the carriage. Besides, they are pulling a lot of things on the carriage and they can't move very fast. They can only shoot it with arrows a few times."

Zhou Qingyun said: "That's no problem. Give me a bow and just shoot the horse."

"Then it's up to you, Captain Zhou." The young and strong man bowed his hand.

Zhou Qingyun waved his hand and said: "We are all members of the Tiger Flag, so there is no need to be so open-minded. Moreover, this mission is for my team of soldiers to cooperate with the actions of your Foreign Intelligence Agency."

The gunman who ran to get the bow and arrows now ran over with a bow and quiver in his hand.

The young and strong man took the bow and arrow, handed it to Zhou Qingyun, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Captain Zhou will use it smoothly, but it's a pity that I only found this bow for the time being."

"I'll give it a try."

Zhou Qingyun stood up, took the bow and arrow, and carried the quiver behind his back.

His eyes searched around the surroundings, and finally landed on a tree trunk dozens of steps away.

He reached out and pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, hung it on the bowstring, moved the arrow, pointed it at the tree trunk in front, loosened the fingers holding the feathers, and the arrow shot out quickly.

The arrow is shot towards the opponent who is one step away from the tree trunk.

Missed.

There was no disappointment on Zhou Qingyun's face. He took out an arrow from his quiver again, hung it on the bowstring again, and shot toward the tree trunk in front of him again.

Snap!

The arrow accurately penetrated into the tree trunk, and the exposed arrow feathers trembled slightly.

"Good archery skills." The young and strong man standing aside praised him.

Zhou Qingyun shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't used a bow and arrow for a long time, and my hands have grown a lot."

"To be able to hit a tree trunk with two arrows from such a long distance is enough to prove Captain Zhou's ability." The young and strong man said with a smile.

Zhou Qingyun put away his bow and arrow and said: "The distance from here to the tree is about the same as the distance to the official road. The animals pulling the cart are also bigger. They can almost hit it with one arrow. But I want to hit it with one arrow."

I’m afraid it’s unlikely that the animal pulling the cart will be shot to death.”

"What should we do according to Captain Zhou's wishes?" the young and strong man asked.

Zhou Qingyun said: "If the animal pulling the cart is hit by an arrow, it will definitely run around like crazy, so I need someone to stop it from the front."

"Captain Zhou, do you want me to lead people to intercept the carriage?" The strong young man pointed at himself.

Zhou Qingyun shook his head and said, "No, my people can do it."

As he said that, he turned to look at the person beside him and said: "Huang Jun, ask your team to bring the fence we prepared and go to the front to block the official road. When you see the carriage pulling goods, you must stop it."

"Yes, I will bring someone over right now." The Wu Commander named Huang Jun agreed.

Zhou Qingyun warned: "If the Jin Yiwei want to rush over, there is no need to stop them. Your task is only to stop the carriage they bring."

"I understand." Huang Jun nodded, and then said to the people behind him, "Everyone in the second team, follow me."

Following his order, a team of more than a dozen people left from behind the hillside.

Not long after, a Tiger Flag soldier ran up from the bottom of the hillside and said: "Captain, here we are, four horses and a carriage. They are more than a mile away from us at most."

The young and strong man looked at Zhou Qingyun and said, "The next step depends on you, Captain Zhou."

"Don't worry, they can't take away the carriage and its contents." Zhou Qingyun said, then he lay down and looked towards the official road down the mountain.

A little further away, a carriage appeared in his sight.

There were two riders in front of and behind the carriage on the official road, protecting the carriage in the middle.

The young and strong man on the side leaned out and glanced in the direction of the carriage in the distance, and said: "That's them. The ones riding on the horses are the Jin Yiwei. The things we want to rob are all on that carriage."

Zhou Qingyun picked up the bow and arrow, pulled out an arrow and put it on the bowstring. However, he did not pull it away in a hurry. Instead, he closed one eye and aimed at the carriage on the official road.

"Is Captain Zhou sure of hitting the target with one arrow?" the young and strong man asked Zhou Qingyun.

The place where they were hiding was only a few dozen steps away from the official road.

However, the carriage walking on the official road is still far away, and it will take some distance before it reaches the bottom of this hillside.

"It's not a big problem." Zhou Qingyun said, and then added, "We are on the hillside, from a high position, and we are more sure of shooting."

The young and strong man said: "It will all depend on this arrow of yours, Captain Zhou."

Zhou Qingyun nodded, and immediately said to a gunman beside him: "Go and notify the first team and the second team, tell them that once I shoot the animal pulling the cart, they will take people to the official

Rush on the road."

"Yes." The gunman agreed.

Then Zhou Qingyun said again: "Remember to remind them to keep all the firecrackers and only use knives."

The gunman nodded and turned to convey the order to the other two teams.

The 3,000-man regiment of Tiger Character Banner on the grassland all used flintlock muskets, but Zhou Qingyun's army still used Lumi muskets. Each fire gunman not only had a firecracker, but also a
