Because he had been ordered to ambush, the guard did not bring out too many troops this time, only 3,000 people in total. When these 3,000 people heard the news, not only did they not panic about going to the battlefield, but they were all excited. They were gearing up and feeling excited. Ever since they destroyed the Xin Kingdom, they had not encountered any major wars. How could they make any progress without fighting?
The passing of bandits is like a comb, and the passing of soldiers is like a grate.
Seeing that his morale was high, 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. 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 uncontrollable fear in their eyes. Someone whispered: "These things ran out again. What to do?"
Ever since this group of people arrived, there has been no peace in this place.
A commoner replied: "Are you going hunting again?"
A person who doesn’t understand asks: “What kind of hunting is this time of year?”
The people who understood immediately lost their color and closed the door with a bang. The other common people who were watching the excitement were also afraid of getting into trouble, so they closed the door to avoid it. It’s not that they are too timid, it’s really these soldiers who are nothing from top to bottom. nice one.
I don’t know who the bad guy said before, "A soldier who has fought a hundred battles has no place to display his bravery or sharpen his edge, just like scrap metal." When the guard heard this, he felt that this was reasonable, so he took the prisoners from the prison and released them into the mountains. Order 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 use captives, slaves, and exiled prisoners. If we don't have enough fun, we use ordinary people to fill the number.
The common people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Those who dared to speak 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 a 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 interested in these outdoor activities. like.
If you think about it carefully, we haven't seen such a battle in 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 wait for a day or two, I will return with the head of the thief. By then, too." I will ask for credit for you."
A deputy general cupped his fists and said: "Wei."
He added: "I wish the general good luck in military affairs during this trip."
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 don't believe it." This thing."
When he was young, he suffered hardships and fought hard with his head tied to his belt. He worked his way up step by step without any culture. What he hated most was the hypocritical congratulations between literati and military generals. What about "long-lasting cultural fortunes" and "prosperous military fortunes"? It's useless.
The lieutenant general smiled a little awkwardly and responded: "The general's martial arts skills are superb, so naturally he doesn't need these vain ideas."
After the guard general gave his orders, he led his troops out of the city.
According to the order issued by the country's leader Zheng Qiao, Shen Tang, one of the members of the Dragon Slaying Bureau, will lead the elite across the river, enter the Qianzhou area, and then head east. The goal is the place where he is stationed. Occupy this place and use it as a foundation. , flanking Zheng Qiao's troops in Aoshan. The Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces can also transfer the main force here to avoid fighting with Zheng Qiao's main force in the naturally dangerous Miaojiang River.
When it comes to the level of water fighting, both sides are evenly matched.
However, Zheng Qiao holds the national seal and leads the expedition in person. He has a natural advantage on the battlefield of Miaojiang, and the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces are passive. From this point of view, Shen Tang's sneak attack is crucial.
It was even the key to the alliance's entry into Qianzhou.
The guard quickly reviewed 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 distance, they can set up an ambush two days in advance. Shen Tang's soldiers and horses have come all the way, and they must be a tired army. In addition, their combat strength will be suppressed if they go deep into Qianzhou. Nine times out of ten, military merit is given away for free.
"Drive! Follow quickly!"
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.
"Father, the target is here!"
Xun Ding hurriedly came to report to his old father.
Xun Zhen was dressed in a scholar's robe, and her long hair was meticulously tied into a crown. He had lost a lot of weight recently, and the veins on his forehead could be faintly seen. Xun Ding was worried about his old father's health and asked him to eat a few more bowls every day. , but he always excused himself by saying 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 our 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 this and said: "Okay!"
The father and son were under the cover of a bunker, overlooking from a high position.
Xun Zhen cast her deep eyes towards the direction from which the enemy came, and vaguely saw a long, squirming black worm. The latter's marching team was loose and unbroken, and it was still a marching formation that could be attacked and defended, so they were less vigilant. My son is not weak.
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 intelligence 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. In a safe environment, no matter how vigilant the person is, there will be A moment of slackness will lead to a flaw.
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 walked through, he would have been confused if he had not known it in advance. Xun Zhen is 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 without reason?"
The smile on Xun Ding's mouth was stiff.
These days, even gloating over misfortune is not allowed.
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 couldn't laugh and laugh anymore. 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 and said, "My dear friends, we are here to welcome our guests!"
Gu Chi almost spit out the bitter concoction that he had not yet swallowed.
By this time, three thousand enemy soldiers had entered the maze.
Xun Zhen is proud of herself, and she can really confuse the fake with the real one. Not to mention the scenery they see with their eyes, even the wind blowing on their face when they are galloping, and the temperature of the light falling on their skin are the same as the real ones. They have no idea what they see with their eyes. , which was somewhat different from the path they were traveling on. According to their original route, they were at a fork in the road and should go to the left.
But under the spell of the maze, they walked to the right.
At the end of the road on the right is a valley.
The valley is trumpet-shaped, narrow at one end and slightly wider at the other.
Once you enter and try to retreat, the "flare mouth" will inevitably be blocked. Those who want to get in can't get in, and those who want to get out can't get out. The guard has visited this place many times, but all for "hunting".
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 detect traces of Yanling's formation, they can still detect anomalies through the environment.
What can I do——
This time we encountered a tough situation!
Wei Shou looked at the small prey that was unsuspectingly crawling towards the spider web, and a few proud smiles escaped from his throat, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little murmuring in his heart. His new lord looked unpretentious,
Where can we recruit so many talented scribes? Could it be that this guy's vassal way is such that everyone loves him, flowers bloom when he sees them, but he is heartbroken when the scribes see him?
He shook these messy thoughts out of his mind.
No matter, these scribes are colleagues anyway.
Do you want a few [Five Virtues of Generals] 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. One of the deputy generals who was following him raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him also stopped when they saw the order. The deputy general drove his horse forward: "General?"
When the guard heard this, he turned his head.
"Do you feel like something is wrong here?"
The deputy general looked around and shook his head.
The sun is warm, the wind is warm, and the surroundings are spacious, it couldn't be better.
The deputy general asked: "What did the general discover?"
The guard tensed the muscles in his cheeks, shook his head slowly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my heartbeat suddenly started to beat a little."
The deputy general was about to flatter him and tell him how brave warriors have great intuition, and that maybe it is unlucky to take this road and they can take a detour. Who knows, the guard said again: "Maybe there was a big fuss yesterday and I didn't sleep all night.
You may have heart palpitations..."
He had a bad life before and was afraid of poverty.
Once he gains power, he seizes the time to enjoy things he has never enjoyed before, squandering wealth, indulging in sex, drinking all night long... Relying on his courage, a warrior has martial energy to protect his body, and he is not afraid of sudden death.
It's just that he has been living like this for too long, and it is inevitable that he will neglect his cultivation. The courageous warrior is also a mortal body. After staying up all night for nearly half a year, he occasionally suffers from heart palpitations. The doctor advised him to recharge his energy and replenish his vitality, otherwise his energy will be exhausted.
There is a risk of chest paralysis.
When the guard heard this, he 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!"
"only!"
Unbeknownst to the guard and others, when their conversation stopped, the leading troops 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 attack directly, while Wei Shou was responsible for beheading
action.
"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 now?"
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 not only failed to be 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, and the alarm bells sounded in the brain.
:"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: "The army will form a formation and all retreat!"
The guard raised his eyes and looked at the open scenery around him.
The weeds bend in the breeze and shake their heads.
Everything was perfect, without any flaws, but he always felt that something was wrong. Without thinking too much, he raised his hand and waved a palm wind, and the target was a bush on the roadside. He thought there was an ambush in the bush, but who knew that this palm
Going down, it was like a huge stone was thrown into a lake filled with crescent moons, ripples spread out, round and round. As the stones splashed, you could faintly hear rolling stones falling overhead.
The guard opened his mouth and cursed, and greeted his eighteen generations of ancestors.
This is an ambush!
Someone has set up a maze here!
"withdraw!"
He shouted loudly, tightened the reins and tried 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 defender made a decisive move to defend against the enemy.
His martial energy collided with the air and exploded with a loud bang. The strong wind and waves knocked the unprepared soldiers over their feet.
This air wave was mixed with two violent martial auras, causing countless ripples in the surrounding air, as if countless raindrops broke the silence.
Click——
The cracks expanded and extended like a spider web until they shattered.
The next breath, the vision in front of my eyes dimmed, and the coolness penetrated along my skin and into my bone marrow, causing goosebumps to appear on my skin.
Only then did the guard see clearly that there was a mass of pink in front of him, and a familiar name automatically popped up without moving his mind. He immediately cursed: "Wei Shou, Wei Yuanyuan, damn you, you despicable barbarian, you actually dare to ambush us here.
!”
The answer was Wei Shou's kick in the face.
He crossed his arms in front of him.
The arm armor shattered under the force of the 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 buckets of old dung early in the morning, and then I sprayed maggots and dung with my mouth. I'll kill you. You curse again."
, be careful that my ancestors are looking for your father to spend the night together."
The guard climbed up from the cracked stone ruins.
Wei Shou's voice directly ignited his fighting spirit.
He cursed Wei Shou's ancestors loudly and killed them.
Shen Tang, who was watching the battle from above, said worriedly: "Wu Hui, can Yuanyuan deal with this person? The opponent's morale seems to be very high."
Anger can make people crazy, and it can also make people explode.
The voices of Wei Shou and the enemy general yelling at each other could be heard throughout the battlefield. It was extremely difficult to endure these dirty words while fighting.
But Shen Tang was more worried that something would happen to Wei Shou.
This place is within the territory of Qianzhou, and the one facing him is still a city guard. Wei Shou has surrendered to him, and his strength will be suppressed to a certain extent. The overall strength has temporarily dropped from the fifteenth level to the fourteenth level. When the two of them fight,
Wei Shou may suffer.
Chu Yao said quietly: "Don't worry about him."
Wu Zi commanded the soldiers to form a formation and form rolling stones to smash down.
Compared with fighting, Wei Shou has never been timid since he was a child.
Wei Shou once told him that because of the harsh living environment since he was a child, he could fight a giant bear bare-chested before he could muster up the courage to fight. In winter, he could break the thick ice with one punch and go into the water to bathe and catch fish. The fighting was fierce and ruthless, and he fought at the same level.
Invincible, full winning rate.

Yesterday was a chaotic time, and my heart palpitations were unbearable. Today I have calmed down a bit. Alas, every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and I have to finish reciting them one after another.
