Chapter 167: An ambush with bait
Li Zhengxing and Kou Xiuyong led a group of cavalry slowly walked through the entire convoy, and saw the iron cage covered with black cloth, Kou Xiuyong consciously stopped in front of the iron cage, but he was very interested in the iron cage that no one dared to approach, and even stepped forward and knocked on the cage, causing the people inside to roar twice, and Kou Xiuyong walked forward.
Bian Jian also noticed this scene, and shouted coldly: "That young man, you should also know the identity of the person locked up inside, it's best not to try to get close, otherwise, as an escort official, I have a reason to kill you on the spot, even if you are also a martial arts master, but I believe that even Pang Lu can't cover it." ”
"Old hero Bian, please rest assured, I'm just curious, and I don't have any other thoughts, I'll leave. Kohi bowed forever, then quickly drove his horse to the back of the convoy.
Bian Jian looked at Kou Xiuyong's expression, a wisp of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "The escort in the cage is the county guard of Daling County, who committed a serious crime of corruption in the court, and must be escorted back to the capital within a few days to be thoroughly investigated by the Criminal Department, if anyone in the convoy does not obey the order, I should punish him in accordance with the law of the country." ”
Kou Xiuyong approached Li Zhengxing and said, "It's really an old man, and with such a keen reaction, he almost found me." ”
Li Zhengxing said: "You put things in?"
Kou Xiuyong said: "Brother Li naturally don't worry, I won't make a mistake in doing things, and then we will perform a play." ”
Li Zhengxing exclaimed: "Brother Kou's ability makes me a little ashamed, I just saw a cavalry under my command move, and the people who want to come to Wohua Mountain are also coming." ”
A group of chariots and horses slowly entered the area of Wohua Mountain, and the people hidden in the shadows watched the scene and quietly withdrew from the mountain forest.
In the Wohuashan military camp, Liang Jin couldn't help frowning after listening to the report of the sentry, and said, "Since we have found out what is being held in my iron cage, why hasn't General Jiang Ming come back?"
The sentinel said: "General Jiang Ming said that he is now unable to move and is not very flexible in walking, so he directly followed his brothers to track the convoy and waited for the second commander to send a team to launch a general attack. ”
Liang Jin smiled bitterly: "The reason why he is not flexible in walking is that he wants to go to the battlefield, since it is expected that once I know who is being held in the cage, he will definitely send troops to attack, he wants to use his injured body to fight for meritorious deeds!"
Luo Hu on the side said: "The county guard of Daling County, we have also received news from this person before, and we have also bribed him with a lot of money to help me in Wohua Mountain, but I didn't expect it to be found out so quickly, that person has already had the heart to return to our Wohua Mountain, and he can be regarded as having helped us a lot, and he must indeed be saved." It's just that Jiang Ming is what's this, he is seriously injured like that and still wants to toss, I'm really afraid that I will really lose my life?"
Liang Jin was quite angry, slapped the case suddenly, and said: "I can't let Jiang Ming go on like this, Lin Han said before that Jiang Ming has been depressed these days, I'm afraid he wants a few more battles to make him forget his pain, this guy is good, he is emotionally dead-headed, if he is suppressed ruthlessly, I don't know what he will do." This can't work, I have to send soldiers and horses to help him quickly, I heard that there is also a martial arts master in the soldiers and horses escorting the convoy, for Jiang Ming's safety, I have to take action myself. ”
Luo Hu shouted: "Calm down, if you leave, who will manage this military camp? In case the enemy army attacks at this time, without the guard of the martial arts master, our military camp will become extremely vulnerable." ”
Liang Jin said: "Don't worry about the three soldiers and horses outside, I have already reminded Hanzi, and I can guess some of the hidden conspiracies, and I think Hanzi can handle it himself." In addition, even if I leave, you will be able to dispatch all the soldiers and horses, the left and right sides are always in the barracks, and they have the heavy cavalry at their disposal, so as long as there are no major problems, no enemy army can break in. And although Mr. Mu Ya is not there, he knows how to maintain the military camp well, and with the experience of the previous times, I am very relieved to Mr. Mu Ya. ”
Luo Hu nodded, and said with a slightly wry smile: "This time the decision-making power belongs to me, you must bow down next time you see me!"
Liang Jin passed through the armor, patted Luo Hu on the shoulder, and rushed out of the camp.
However, it was said that outside the Wohua Mountain barracks, Luo Yaohua, Mu Yucheng, and Qiong Le each brought a soldier and horse to knock on the camp, and Lin Han, Du Henghe, and Feng Qingbing met the enemy in three ways.
Lin Han was playing against Qiong Leshuang, and he thought that his strength was about the same, but in the continuous fighting, he actually felt a little incapable of being the enemy, not that Qiong Leshuang far surpassed his martial arts cultivation, but it seemed that his halberd technique had a natural restraint on Lin Han, which made his basic marksmanship a huge hindrance.
Because the halberd is difficult to use, so some warriors who are good at using weapons will not choose to fight with the halberd, Lin Han has not met many high-level martial artists with halberds, Jiang Ming is alone, Hu Yanwu is alone, and the rest is this Qiong Leshuang, this is just a little fighting, and he noticed that in addition to many mistakes in marksmanship, although he has the guidance of the profound martial arts method of breaking the hurdle, but he is still from a wild path in the practice of martial arts on weekdays, and it is difficult to innovate his own path.
"Since you can't comprehend it yourself, you borrow someone else's hand to perfect it. ”
Lin Han did not feel afraid because of Qiong Leshuang's halberd restraint, but rushed away with a silver-white brake spear, and met Qiong Leshuang's attack in a more active form.
Qiong Le Shuang from the battle
Pulling out the halberd, he avoided Lin Han from a distance, and said in a cold voice: "I really deserve to be the six commanders of Wohua Mountain, I can be so calm in battle, and in the face of my halberd suppression, I will exercise my marksmanship in this way, if I don't know how to quit, maybe you will find an opportunity to suppress me." ”
Lin Han sighed secretly and said with a smile: "General Qiong is smiling, his marksmanship is not as good as his opponent's, so he can only find another way out, in case he is suppressed by your halberd method that is like a hemp rope, I will lose my life, if I don't react quickly, maybe the battle will be over." ”
Qiong Le Shuang looked around and said: "The six commanders are joking, the situation on this battlefield is not what you said, compared with the soldiers and horses of these two sides, your soldiers in Wohua Mountain are too strong, and my subordinates seem to be a little unstoppable. ”
Lin Han smiled faintly and said: "As a bait soldier to attack the gate of my camp, we are worthy of you if we didn't send heavy cavalry to sweep, after all, it is the first time to fight, we are a little soft-hearted, I don't know what General Qiong plans to do?"
Qiong Le Shuang said: "It is impossible to retreat, although the six commanders have seen through the bait plan, but the governor ordered us to fight for three hours, and retreating is to disobey the military order, I can't afford such a big hat." Then, I can only continue to fight, I Qiong Le Shuang rarely fights with people, and my moves are rarely known, I wonder if the Six Commanders want to try it?"
Lin Han clenched the barrel of the gun, and his heart was also extremely arrogant, and Lang smiled: "Come on, I want to know how far you can perfect my marksmanship." ”
"You'll know. ”
Qiong Le Shuang rode the horse to kill, and suddenly the long halberd fell, Lin Han was shocked in his heart, and he took the move in a panic, but this halberd was not as soft as before, but it was not as domineering as Jiang Ming's Fang Yuan halberd in terms of strength, Lin Han hurriedly reversed the gun to dodge, and then stabbed out a move "one loss vortex" as before, but Qiong Leshuang's halberd method instantly became unbreakable, and the move that could have broken a thousand jun was actually stuck by the halberd, and then suddenly turned over and unloaded seventy or eighty percent of the strength on the tip of the gun, Lin Han hurriedly flashed back.
But he heard Qiong Le Shuang say: "Sixth Commander, how about this move of mine? I don't just know the previous move, "You understand it?"
"One entanglement and one gang, when entangled, it can entangle all things, and the force is invisible; Your skills are not ordinary, and your identity should not only be a general under Jin Lin, right?" Lin Han's voice was ruthless, he did suffer a big loss, and because of the suppression of the halberd method, he couldn't take advantage of it at all, with this tangled combination, he couldn't even do that kind of run-in perfection, if he continued to fight, I am afraid he would have the upper hand.
Qiong Le Shuang said: "Since you have tried my one-piece entanglement, may I ask the six commanders, do you dare to continue to fight with me?"
(One entanglement and one gang, paying tribute to the character Lin Xiuya in "Breaking the Sky".) )
Lin Han's eyes flickered, and he said coldly: "Why don't you dare, just attack." ”
The corners of Qiong Le's mouth lifted an imperceptible smile, and then he raised his halberd and rushed towards Lin Han again, he shouted: "Suffer death, Lin Han!"
When Lin Han was about to take over, he saw that the figure that came to kill turned into two, one was Qiong Leshuang, and the other was a warrior wearing an ordinary soldier's armor, he didn't know the appearance of this person, but according to the news he received before, he could guess that this person was Lu Chu of the eighth rank.
"It turns out that you are both a bait soldier and an ambush soldier!"
Lin Han hurriedly dealt with it, but the two eighth-rank martial arts masters shot at the same time, it must be a continuous killing move, they had already planned it, and at this time, they attacked Lin Han at the same time, it was precisely because they seized the characteristics of the lack of soldiers available in the Wohua Mountain military camp, even if they besieged Lin Han, no one would come to the rescue.
Lu Chu sneered: "I was a little excited when I first came to Jiaozhi City to make a meritorious achievement. ”
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Lin Han's eyes, since he was ambushed, then Feng Qing and Du Henghe must also be the same, thinking about it, they will face a killing situation.
Qiong Le said: "Lin Han, get off the horse and be bound! you have no chance of winning." ”
Lin Leng laughed, but he raised his gun horizontally to block the weapons of the two, and said at the same time: "Your bait strategy is indeed very clever, if it weren't for Liang Jin's reminder, I'm afraid I would really have planted it this time." ”
After Lin Han said this, Qiong Le Shuang secretly felt bad, he was about to drink Lu Chu to retreat, only to see a large number of archers pouring out in front of the military camp at some point, already aiming at them, Lin Han strongly blocked the entanglement of the two, ran behind him, and shouted at the same time: "The whole army retreats!"
A rain of arrows fell, those archers from the eighth battalion were extremely accurate archery, as the troops of Wohua Mountain retreated, there were archers who shot those who tried to pursue the armor soldiers, Qiong Leshuang and Lu Chu hurriedly waved their weapons to resist, and at the same time ordered their subordinates to retreat but it still seemed too late, the rain of arrows ruthlessly shot through the bodies of the Qin soldiers, and their ordinary armor soldiers could hardly dodge within a hundred meters.
Qiong Le glanced at Lin Han, who had just escaped from the encirclement, his eyes were full of regret, if the archers came out later, he and Lu Chu would be able to really take down Lin Han by joining forces. Lu Chu was also extremely disappointed and asked, "What should I do now?" The plan failed, and it seems that they had already taken precautions. ”
Qiong Le Shuang said: "It was originally a battle in front of their camp, since."
However, it was much inferior, and the ambush and delay mission given to us by the governor could not be carried out, so we hurriedly retreated. ”
Qiong Leshuang and Lu Chu slowly reined in the remnants of the army and left, as for how to return to Jiaozhi City, they didn't mention it.
As soon as Lin Han returned to the barracks, he saw that Feng Qing and Du Henghe had already stood in front of the camp gate to greet him, and after seeing Lin Han, Du Henghe began to chatter: "The second commander is really scheming, and the commander of the Qin army is really scheming, and the ambush is too much for people to guard." Although it was still a little reluctant for us to be a one-faced martial arts master, with the help of the archers of the eighth battalion, we retreated, and then the heavy cavalry of the two generals on the left and right had already crushed away, and the Qin soldiers should retreat. ”
Lin Han nodded, the two of them could be regarded as the first time with the help of the army to force a general higher than him to retreat, which was already a great thing, and he also smiled with the two of them, and came to the main camp to look for Liang Jin, but only Luo Hu was here.
Luo Hu smiled: "You don't seem to be disappointed that you didn't find Lao Jin, could it be that you also have a leg with Lao Jin?"
Lin Han sat down to rest, and said in a daze, "Why do you say 'also'?"
Luo Hu said: "Didn't you have a little sticky with Jiang Ming before?"
Lin Han rolled his eyes and said, "You still have the heart to say this, so don't you ask me how the battle is going?"
"Pour yourself water and drink. Luo Hu saw Lin Han looking for a bowl, so he got up, but he didn't stand up, so he said this, and then turned his head and said: "Looking at your appearance, you know that there is no danger, there is nothing to ask." ”
Lin Han shook his head and said, "You really have a big heart, what about Lao Jin, and where did Jiang Ming go?"
Luo Hu said: "They went to Jiaozhi Road, Jiang Ming was in front, Lao Jin was behind, with almost 5,000 soldiers and horses, as well as archers, they were going to rescue the Daling County Guard escorted by the Qin army, and it is estimated that there will be a war at this time." ”
"What? Jiang Ming also went?" Lin Han was quite surprised, and said, "Jiang Ming was injured like that, shouldn't he take care of his injuries?" What can he do if he goes, a captain of the Qin army can kill him, how can you allow him to go?"
Luo Hu was speechless and said, "This ......"
Lin Han hurriedly said: "I understand, Jiang Ming took the initiative to ask to go, didn't he? That guy must be very troubled, so he wanted to use the battle to divert his attention, you couldn't bear his insistence, so you let him go, right?"
Luo Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "That's right." ”
Lin Han asked, "Have you figured out how many men and horses there are in the Qin army?"
Luo Hu said: "That escort dealt with less than 100 people, but among them was a martial arts master of the Bian family, as well as Kou Xiuyong and Li Zhengxing under Pang Lu's tent who were also in charge of the defense, and they brought about 3,000 cavalry. ”
"Cavalry? Jiaozhi Road is a mountain road, and it is not suitable for cavalry combat, since they want to escort, why should they bring cavalry?" Lin Han thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Luohu, help me transfer a team of soldiers and horses, I will also go to help, before I come back, don't let anyone go out of the barracks to fight, the barracks without the guards of the eighth-stage martial arts masters will become extremely vulnerable." ”
As Lin Han walked out of the barracks, Luo Hu showed an ugly smile and said to himself: "This guy is not good at taking care of military affairs on weekdays, but he understands everything when he is in a hurry. Leave me alone, and see how I, a disabled man, defend the barracks. Alas!"
On the Jiaozhi Road, Liang Jin finally arrived before Jiang Ming made a move, stopping Jiang Ming from wanting to make a private move alone, for Jiang Ming's temperament of not being afraid of all things, everyone couldn't help but feel palpitations, he only had dozens of people, and he was still seriously injured, but he had to face three martial arts masters and a team of thousands of people.
After Liang Jin reprimanded, he made a detailed plan and made up his mind to ambush on the hillside at the narrow mountain pass not far away to prepare to attack this convoy, the narrow mountain road provided them with advantageous conditions for ambush, as long as the time was right, they could block the contact between the convoy and the rear half of the escort cavalry.
Liang Jin said: "After our soldiers and horses are killed, the archers and I will stop the cavalry at the mountain pass, and the others will enter the front to block Bian Jian, and a team of more than a dozen people will transport the carriage away from that path, and you can directly reach the Jiaozhi Plain along that mountain road, I have already sent a cavalry to wait on the plain to respond, as long as there is no mistake, this plan can be perfectly realized." ”
Jiang Ming pondered: "Liang Jin, wait, your plan has a fatal flaw, that Bian Jian is an eighth-stage martial arts master, if no one stops him, he alone will disrupt our army's formation, just like you are in charge of the narrow mountain road, no one can stop you." At that time, not only will you not be able to save people, but you will also be caught in the middle of their joint attack, let me deal with Bian Jian, as long as I can delay him a little, there will be no problem with this plan. ”
"No, you still have to observe the walking path at this time, and find out if the Qin army still has reinforcements, and you can't leave at will. How could Liang Jin not know the problems in this plan, although Jiang Ming was right, but he didn't have any reason to change it, he just ordered a dozen of his subordinates who were in charge of transporting the carriage, and said, "Remember, you must act as fast as possible and take the carriage away before the central road of Bian Jian's killing." ”
Jiang Ming knew very well what the task Liang Jin gave him meant, that is, let him not participate in the battle, and An An would do a good job of auxiliary work, but this was not what he wanted, and when Liang Jin and the others slowly left, he didn't know where to pull out the Fang Yuan halberd.
"Fighting, naturally, has to have me. ”
