Chapter 920: Ambush in the valley, the time has come
"Don't worry! Yun Security Supervisor is now surrounded by my confidants, there will never be any strange faces sneaking in!"
Gu Chengyuan said nonchalantly.
"General Li, at the current speed, it will take them two days to arrive here?"
Wan Zhiyi asked.
The general nodded, "Yes, they have been in Daning Prison for two and a half days now. They are less than a hundred miles away from us. Even if they are slower, they will still be here in two days."
"That's good. General Li will still be needed at that time. As long as this matter is done well, regardless of how General Gu will reward you, we two brothers will never treat you badly! Before coming here, Lao Gu had already asked someone to give you a reward.
Your family has sent three hundred thousand taels of silver! When the time comes, even if you take your family to live in seclusion in a place where no one knows, it will be enough."
General Li nodded gratefully after hearing this!
"When the time comes, all the troops will be at your disposal. Don't make any mistakes!"
"Lord Wan, don't worry!"
General Li said confidently, "We have ambushed two thousand troops and horses at the mountain pass, and we have also ambushed two thousand troops and horses in front. As long as they enter the mountain pass, the road will be blocked as soon as possible to ensure that no one can escape.
.
After entering the valley for five miles, we deployed 5,000 troops. Although these people were only dead soldiers under the command of two people and were somewhat inferior to the regular army, they were condescending enough to give them a fatal blow! And this is enough to come here.
We have brought five battalions of soldiers and horses!"
"You two adults also know how powerful our Yun'an Army is. With these more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, even if the attackers want to fight back, they will never stand a chance!"
"Actually, the first two levels are enough. The 7,000-plus Yunnan troops are just a precaution! It's very possible that they won't be needed at all."
They had a very clear understanding of the combat power of Shen Tang and his entourage. Although Shen Tang's nearly two thousand personal guards were powerful, they were not many in number.
Moreover, in this valley, there is no way to set up a formation! They ambush from a high position, and they are twice as powerful as the enemy. There is no reason why they cannot win.
After hearing General Li's story, the two of them felt relieved.
Also, for these less than two thousand people, they used nearly ten times their strength. If they still can't win, then Shen Tang will really become a god...
Time passed slowly, and Shen Tang's arrival was still a little later than they expected! During the hundred-mile journey to Xining Mountain, Shen Tang and others actually walked for four days! If there hadn't been an informant watching Shen along the way,
Tang, Wan Zhiyi and others almost thought that Shen Tang had run away.
"Sir, the army you are talking about is still three or four miles away from the mountain pass!"
A capable boy ran over and said to Wan Zhiyi.
brush!
All three people stood up, and Wan Zhiyi and the other two looked towards General Li!
General Li patted the armor on his body, raised his hands and said, "You two will stay here later. I will come back as soon as I leave."
Not long after, a secret location caused it to wave! A moment later, three places responded with the same flag!
Outside the mountain pass, Shen Tang and his party moved forward step by step. Compared with the previous eagerness, Shen Tang at this moment was like a rich young man out for fun. He was not in a hurry at all! He even had to rush to every inn.
Rest! Chang Shun even suspected that if Shen Tang had not received a secret report early this morning, they would have continued to delay.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Shen Tang and his party finally stepped into the mountain pass step by step.
However, just when some people breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Tang and his team suddenly stopped! The team of nearly two thousand people lined up for two to three hundred battles, and this position was not suitable for No less! Although we entered the mountain pass, we have not yet reached the ambush position...
General Li looked down with wide eyes, but Shen Tang and others did not take a step forward!
After half an hour, Shen Tang had even dismounted, but he just didn't take a step forward!
General Li gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards Wan Zhiyi and the others again!
"General Li, what's going on?
Why didn't you hear any sound?"
Wan Zhiyi asked with a frown.
General Li narrated the situation at the mountain pass to the two of them, and then said hesitantly, "The general will guess whether they noticed something unusual, otherwise they would have no reason to stay! Now, I would like to ask the two adults to decide, yes If you continue to wait, you should take the initiative."
"If we wait any longer and they really notice something abnormal, I'm afraid they will exit soon.
As for taking the initiative to attack, as long as the two thousand men and horses ambushing at the mountain pass can hold them to death for a quarter of an hour, our other troops can gather together.
When the time comes, they won’t be able to escape either!”
Gu Chengyuan looked at Wan Zhiyi, only to see Wan Zhiyi suddenly drink after thinking for a moment, "No wait! If we miss this time, then we will have no chance to do it again."
General Li, you personally send an order to tell the two thousand people at the mouth of the valley that for one head, we will reward you with a hundred taels of silver! There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and we are not afraid that they will not fight hard."
"Got the order!"
General Lee gave up and left!
At the mouth of the valley, Chang Shun asked Shen Tang in a low voice, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Shen Tang raised his head and looked at the warm sun above his head, and then showed a cruel smile on his face, "Brothers, mount up, Chang Shun, the time has come, send the signal! It's time to send these monsters to hell. !”
Chang Shun perked up and took something from the hand of a guard nearby, but it was a firecracker!
I blew on the fire twister and lit the fuse. Not long after, accompanied by a long, high-pitched blast, a burst of fire suddenly shot straight into the sky!
"boom!"
The fire exploded with huge power, like two suns soaring into the sky!
There is no doubt that these are the firecrackers of the Song Dynasty! The Song Dynasty was an era when firearms sprouted. Even in the second year of Shaoxing, Chen Gui, the prefect of De'an, invented the earliest tubular firearm.
A strong and thick bamboo pole is hollowed out and filled with gunpowder. When attacking the enemy, it will injure the enemy with the flames it spurts out.
Moreover, some archers can also shoot rockets for siege or battle.
However, due to the imperial court's suppression of generals and rejection of war, the development of firearms in the Song Dynasty was extremely slow or even stagnant.
On the contrary, there is the development of gunpowder in firecrackers. Since the emergence of gunpowder, the types of firecrackers have increased rapidly, even compared with later generations, they are not much inferior.
There are no less than a hundred kinds of single-ringed ones, double-ringed ones, flying ones, and escaping ones!
Closer to home, the explosion of this firecracker stirred up the quiet valley! Almost at the same time as the firecracker exploded, a cry of death suddenly came from behind Shen Tang and others.
Shen Tang got on his horse and sneered as he looked at the two thousand people who were coming to kill him more than a hundred steps away!
