The Czar used Wu Rui and his son as his slaves, but Wu Liang was not ashamed, but proud, and humbly accepted orders.
Wu Rui carefully warned Wu Liang to search carefully inside and outside, especially the dense forests on both sides of the ten-mile long lake, where at least tens of thousands of people could be ambushed.
Wu Liang nodded carelessly and led five thousand tsarist cavalry towards the deep valley. At this moment, he felt that he was extremely majestic and could command brave foreign warriors.
A half-length stone wall appeared in front of them. It was obviously built in a hurry, but the people had already run away, so Wu Liang and others didn't take it seriously.
At this time, Zhang Yi was standing on a mountain outside the entrance of the southern valley, hiding behind a big tree, holding a telescope to observe.
Although the tsar and others were on another mountain more than ten miles away and could not see clearly, the tsar's dark golden armor and Wu Rui's golden crown sparkled in the sunlight and were easy to identify.
Zhang Yi guessed that Wu Rui was suspicious and stopped the army from moving forward. Soon, Zhang Yi saw thousands of troops rushing into the deep valley.
As expected, the enemy began to search.
There was no one in the valley. Wu Liang ordered the cavalry to run back and forth, but found nothing.
The troops immediately let themselves go, jumping into the lake with men and horses, drinking the cool spring water to their heart's content, and shouting like wild beasts.
The birds that lived in the valley were frightened and started to circle uneasily above the valley.
Wu Liang soaked in the lake and filled his stomach with water. Then he led a group of cavalry out of the deep valley and ran to the foot of the mountain where Zhang Yi was hiding.
The distance was so close that Zhang Yi could clearly see his arrogant face. If he picked up a bow and arrow, he could kill this guy with one arrow.
But don't lose big because of small things. Wu Rui and the Tsar are the targets of Zhang Yi's ambush.
At this moment, it was extremely tense. Three thousand Mopan City warriors were hiding in the woods on this mountain. They held their breath and let their horses lie on the ground, hugging their heads tightly. Once there was a sound, they would be killed by the enemy.
It was discovered that the whole plan fell through.
Fortunately, Wu Liang didn't have the keen observation skills of Wu Rui. He just glanced around briefly and concluded that there was no ambush here.
Wu Liang led his troops back to the deep valley, and then asked people to blow the bugle.
Zhang Yi picked up the telescope and saw Wu Rui, wearing a golden crown, riding down the mountain and leading the vanguard into the valley.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
It is a little regrettable that Tsar Andrei still stayed on the mountain in the north and trekked in the desert for a night. The Tsar probably had to stop and rest.
Then, Zhang Yi could only operate on Wu Rui first.
Zhang Yi stood up from the ground and calmly observed the enemy's actions.
Tens of thousands of enemies rushed into the deep valley and rushed straight into the lake. The deepest part of this ten-mile-long lake was only one person tall and was crowded with cavalry. In the end, it was as dense as a colony of ants, with splashing water.
According to visual estimates, there are about 50,000 people.
They splashed in the lake and huddled together, enjoying themselves beyond measure.
At this moment, Zhang Yi could see Wu Rui clearly with a telescope. When he came to the lake, he couldn't wait to drink the lake water. After being trampled by the war horse, the lake water became turbid, but no one cared so much.
After drinking enough, Wu Rui sat on the horse and looked around.
Zhang Yi saw that he suddenly became nervous and shouted, urging the cavalry to leave the lake as soon as possible and continue southward.
But no one paid attention to him. He was just a guide and had no command authority.
At this time, a man appeared next to Wu Rui, and the two started talking. It turned out to be Golovin. Zhang Yi was very happy to see this guy also appear in the encirclement.
Seeing that Wu Rui had convinced Golovin, the marching bugle sounded and the enemy began to take action.
The time has come and cannot be missed.
Zhang Yi gave the order, "Attack!"
The trumpeter behind him blew the horn, and soon, trumpets sounded from all directions.
Wu Rui and others were immediately stunned and looked around blankly. Sure enough, there was an ambush!
But Zhang Yi didn't give the enemy time to react.
…
Xiao Han commanded 2,000 Cheetah Regiment soldiers to hang down ropes from the left and right valleys. Each of them carried a strong bow and crossbow, hundreds of arrows and ten Molotov cocktails.
The soldiers were strong and very fast. When they came to the valley, they immediately ran through the dense forest, throwing incendiary bottles and shooting arrows.
In the past few days, Xiao Han led the soldiers to conduct many actual combat simulations. Each person's running route and combat position were determined one by one, so they were as precise as a clock and as fast as a strong wind.
It only took 3 minutes from stepping into the deep valley to launching the attack. In such a short period of time, the enemy had no time to react.
They were still crowded in the lake. If they wanted to gather together and run out of the deep valley, it would take half an hour at the fastest.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of Molotov cocktails were thrown into the dense crowd, falling on the enemy's heads, bodies and horses, bursting into flames and exploding.
The enemy had never seen this new type of weapon before. They were blasted to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, fiery snakes were running around, glass shards were flying, countless people fell off their horses, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"Run quickly, get out of the valley!"
Wu Rui shouted in panic and took the lead in running south.
Subconsciously, he felt that there would not be many ambushes outside the valley. If tens of thousands of people rushed out, they would be able to escape the danger and regroup.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Unexpectedly, Golovin sang the opposite tune. He believed that the situation was unclear and it would be safest to withdraw first.
When a large army goes out on an expedition, what they fear most is disagreement. The enemy troops were already panic-stricken in the sudden attack, and now they are even more confused. Some people are running south, and some are retreating north. They collide with each other, and there is no comparison.
This is a worse situation.
When Wu Rui saw that he had lost control, he couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Liang ran to Wu Rui in panic and asked me what to do.
"Asshole, you were blind, so you didn't notice the ambush?" Wu Rui cursed angrily.
"Father, I have searched carefully!" Wu Liang shouted aggrievedly, "There is no one in the woods on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, I am sure of it!"
Wu Rui took a closer look and saw many ropes falling from the cliffs on both sides of the deep valley. He understood that the ambush was hidden on the cliffs and it was impossible to be discovered.
"Zhang Yi is so cunning, I want to strangle him to death!" Wu Rui said angrily.
"What should we do, father!" Wu Liang asked in panic.
Wu Rui lamented again.
At this moment, Wu Rui still knew very well in his heart that tens of thousands of wolf cavalry were indeed far south, and those lying in ambush in the deep valley were the troops arranged by Zhang Yi in advance.
This means that the number of ambush troops is limited. If Wu Rui could command the tsar's 50,000-strong army, he would rush out of the valley in one fell swoop, regroup, and defeat the ambush troops.
But no one listened to his orders.
The result of the chaos was that he was killed indiscriminately by Zhang Yi's small number of ambush troops.
The greatest tragedy is that you have more than enough ambition but not enough energy. You know the result and you know how to change the result, but you just can't do it!
Wu Rui had a feeling of impending disaster.
He took off the golden crown on his head, stuffed it into Wu Liang's hand, and cried sadly.
