On the mountain road of Mang Mountain, Zhou Cang, Gao Lin, and Wang Wenjun were lying in ambush on both sides of the road. In front of them were rolling stones and wood that had been prepared. Each soldier quietly took out his crossbow and waited quietly for Qin.
The arrival of the military food transport team.
Xu Huang and Liao Hua ran over from the other side of the hillside with the last 600 people, and gathered with Zhou Cang. They saw Gao Lin in the distance and Wang Wenjun ambushing on the opposite side.
"Is this the Qin Army's grain transport team?" Xu Huang asked hurriedly as soon as he walked to Zhou Cang's side.
Zhou Cang nodded and said: "General Xu, it is indeed the Qin Army's grain transport team that came. I saw it with my own eyes. They came from my territory. As soon as I found them, I immediately informed Wang Wenjun.
.Wang Wenjun also looked at it with me and found nothing unusual. After that, he said he wanted to rob the food and chose to ambush here, and finally asked Liao Hua to inform you."
Xu Huang said "hmm" and said: "Since it was Wang Wenjun's idea, it must be right. If it weren't for the fact that Ma Teng had so many people with him in the past few days, it was not easy to kill them, and he was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he would definitely not have let them go.
.However, I can’t figure it out. Since Ma Teng left and Ma Chao was defeated, why should we transport grain to Hulaoguan? Logically speaking, Ma Chao should also return.”
"I can't figure it out, but this grain transport team is only a very small one. It is probably to meet an urgent need. If we rob the grain, Ma Chao will run out of grain at Hulao Pass, and it will be difficult not to leave.
." Zhou Cang said.
"Well, that's true..." Xu Huang looked at the terrain here and found that it was a long and narrow area with high sides and low in the middle. The vegetation on both sides was very dense, making it difficult to be discovered and very suitable for ambush.
He glanced at Wang Wenjun opposite him and saw that Wang Wenjun was gesturing to him. After reading it, he nodded to Wang Wenjun with a smile on his face and thought to himself: "This boy wants to go with me."
Already."
"Zhou Cang, you lead 600 men and ambush here. Cooperate with Gao Lin on the opposite side to cut off the enemy's return route. Watch my signal and act." Xu Huang turned to Zhou Cang and said.
"promise!"
"Liao Hua, take 600 people to the front, just one mile away from Zhoucang, and follow my signal." Xu Huang turned around and said to Liao Hua beside him.
Liao Hua said: "No problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Hua led 600 people to the front. Wang Wenjun on the opposite side had also begun to move and ambush at the designated location.
Xu Huang himself led 600 people and ran to the front of Liao Hua and Wang Wenjun. He stopped about a mile away and laid an ambush in advance.
Not long after, the Qin Army's grain transport team slowly drove over. Since the road was narrow, only one grain truck could travel, so the Qin Army soldiers moved forward in a meandering way. A thousand Qin Army cavalry escorted 500 grain trucks slowly.
Walking on the mountain road.
Xu Huang had been observing quietly. When he saw the Qin army's grain transport team getting closer and closer, he held the knife in his hand tightly and stared at them like a pair of evil wolves.
The person escorting the grain and fodder was just a military commander of the Qin Army. The military commander walked at the front, surrounded by several soldiers. He complained all the way, mostly because he didn't like this job and kept cursing his superiors.
Suddenly, Xu Huangqing roared, and rushed down the hillside with fifty people, directly blocking the road of the Qin army's grain transport team, and shouted loudly: "I planted this tree, and I will drive this road to the death. If you want to
If you fight this, you will leave money to buy your way!"
Xu Huang and others were not wearing the uniforms of the Yan Army. From the moment they entered Mang Mountain, they had been haunting this area like a bandit. Coupled with the birthmark on his face, he looked really good.
There is no difference between him and a bandit. However, the most important thing is that Xu Huang does not want to reveal his identity. It is more natural to use the name of bandit to carry out robberies than to use the title of Yan Jun.
Sima, the leader of the Qin army, was stunned for a moment. When he saw that Xu Huang only had fifty people, he laughed and said sternly: "You bastards, with only fifty people, you want to imitate bandits and rob? I see you
You don’t want to live, do you? Do you know whose food and grass this is? It belongs to His Highness the King of Qin. If you are wise, get out of the way quickly. If you are really hungry, go to Hongnong and join the army. There is a place to recruit brave soldiers there. I guarantee that you will be well fed.
meal……"
When Xu Huang heard the commander of the army, Luoli, was complaining, he couldn't bear to listen anymore. With three thousand men against one thousand, they were still in ambush. This was simply a chance of victory, so he immediately blew the whistle again.
As soon as the whistle blew, Liao Hua and Wang Wenjun suddenly appeared from the middle of the Qin Army's grain transport team. Zhou Cang and Gao Lin pushed down stones to block the retreat, and Xu Huang's men all ran out. There were three thousand people in total, and they
The Qin army's 1,000-strong grain transport team was firmly blocked inside.
As soon as the military commander saw this formation, he immediately panicked. He couldn't even control his dismount and almost fell off his horse. Not only him, but also the entire Qin Army officers were frightened by this formation. They were very concerned about this area.
I understand, the entire Gyeonggi area
It has been deserted for several years. I have never heard of any bandits. Normally, not even a single person can be seen. Today, so many people suddenly appeared, and they all held weapons. The weapons were stronger than the ones they held.
You have to be sophisticated and don't panic.
"Put down your weapons! Surrender without killing!" Xu Huang discovered early on that this Qin army was simply a miscellaneous army. Seeing how scared everyone was, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly.
"Put down your weapons, surrender without killing..." Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers of the Yan army shouted in unison, and the shouts resounded throughout the valley, deafening.
This group of people also surrendered to the army just to have a piece of food to eat. They had never fought at all. After hearing the shouts of Yan Jun, many people took the initiative to put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Others were also led.
One pass to ten, ten to one hundred, and in just an instant, a thousand people fell to their knees on the ground.
The leading army sergeant kept shouting, begging for mercy louder than anyone else. The arrogant and aloof look just now had long since disappeared. As long as he could survive, that was more important than anything else.
Many officers and soldiers of the Yan army were discouraged when they saw such a scene. They thought they could have a big battle, but they didn't know that they would encounter this idiot. They only screamed a few times and immediately put down their weapons and surrendered.
Next, the Yan army easily took over the Yan army's weapons, horses and the food and grass they were escorting, carried them to the Cuiyun Peak of Mang Mountain, and escorted a thousand prisoners up the hillside.
At noon, the soldiers of the Yan army who had not had a full meal for a long time were full today. Moreover, this group of Qin soldiers also delivered wine. Xu Huang made everyone drink.
After drinking and eating, Xu Huang sat under a big tree, walked up to the captured army commander, and asked: "Let me ask you, where did you transport this batch of food and grass to?"
The army commander replied: "They were escorted to Hulao Pass, and His Highness the King of Qin is still there."
Xu Huang rolled his eyes, smiled, patted the military commander on the shoulder, and asked: "Brother, what did you do before?"
"General Qi, I am a farmer."
"Oh, I see that your riding style is rickety. You just learned to ride a horse not long ago, right?"
"The general is really sharp. I just learned to ride a horse in less than three days."
Xu Huang said: "Looking at your appearance, your skills should not be very good, but why do you become a military commander?"
Seeing that Xu Huang was asking questions, and his tone was very kind, not as fierce as before, and he also gave him a drink, the army commander felt a little grateful, so he replied: "To be honest, these
Everyone is from my hometown
, there was a famine in the countryside, so I took them to join the army, so the captain asked me to be a military sergeant, responsible for taking care of them. In fact, we were just living together and had never fought at all. We even learned to ride horses temporarily.
…”
Xu Huang saw that the army commander didn't look like he was lying, so he said, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. You are all from Hongnong, right?"
"Yes, we are all from Hongnong."
Xu Huang thought for a while, then smiled at the army commander and said, "Then do you want to return to Hongnong to reunite with your family?"
"I think about it, even in my dreams."
"It's broad daylight, are you still dreaming? Are you daydreaming?" Xu Huang said with a smile, "However, as long as you are willing to do one thing for me, I will not embarrass you and will put you all back with your family.
Reunion, and we will also give you money and food when the time comes to tide you over during the famine years."
"What's the matter?" The army commander asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"Hey, it's very simple. When you go back and pass through Hangu Pass, just open the door of Hangu Pass for me." Xu Huang said.
After hearing this, the commander of the army had a look of embarrassment on his face, and hurriedly said: "General, please spare me. Not anyone can open the gate of Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass is heavily guarded, and the guard is also
Patrolling day and night, how can we open and close the door?"
Xu Huang's face darkened and he said bitterly: "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own way. However, without you, how can they easily open the door? I asked my subordinates to pretend to be your subordinates
, and then follow you back to Hangu Pass, where the guard
The general will know that you are escorting grain and grass, so he will inevitably open the door. When the door is opened, you will run back, and my men will naturally rush to seize the pass. When I take Hangu Pass, I will take it down.
Hongnong, you can live and work in Hongnong in peace and contentment."
The Army Sima was still a little worried and said: "Isn't your life in danger?"
"No, I just let you lead the way, and I will stick by your side to protect you. Oh, I forgot to tell you, we are the Yan Army."
"Yan Jun? Are you really Yan Jun?" Army Sima said excitedly after hearing this.
"Yes, I guarantee it will be replaced if it's fake."
"Great, I've heard that King Yan loves his people like his own son and is very kind to the people. I have always wanted to go to the Kingdom of Yan. It's okay this time. If the general captures Hongnong, then we will all be the subjects of King Yan.
, you will definitely live a good life. General, I will help you with this, even if I lose my life."
After Xu Huang heard this, he laughed and said: "If I had known that you were so supportive of King Yan, I wouldn't have had to capture you. You clean up, and after a short rest, we will set off to Hangu Pass to capture Hongnong in one go.
