Chapter 083: The Sneak Attack Was Deliberate

The lord of the post house made a salute to Zhang Wuxian, and then said: "Then according to the meaning of Gonggong Zhang, the lower official told me about this matter?"

Zhang Wushu nodded and said, "By the way, tell the one named Li Chuan." With that, the innkeeper ordered someone to deliver the news, and soon the news reached the ears of the prefect.

Li Chuan smiled at Qiu Desong and said, "Lord Qiu, what do I say, it will come back after all, since this Princess Yuxiang has successfully returned, then I will take them out of here and walk directly towards the imperial city of Daliang." ”

Qiu Desong nodded and said, "In this way, Desong will not keep too much, and Brother Li Chuan must not be extremely careful along the way." ”

Then, Li Chuan drove his horse to the post house, came to Bai Xingsong's side, and after making a salute to Bai Xingsong, he said: "Everyone, Li Chuan is ordered by my emperor to invite you to the imperial city to meet. ”

Bai Xingsong nodded, and after a few words of greeting, Zhang Wuxian began to inform the brothers who lived in the inn to pack up their things, and that night, Nuochang's team had already left here and walked towards the imperial city under the leadership of Li Chuan.

Zhang Wuxin knew very well that it would never be peaceful on the way, because if they wanted to get rid of their marriage team, they would definitely do it along the way, so at the beginning, Zhang Wuxin maintained a high degree of vigilance. At the same time, he also instructed his men to be careful.

That night, although everyone walked very slowly, fortunately, there were no safety problems for everyone, but the calmer it was, the more uneasy Zhang Wushu became.

The next morning, the group camped in a forest, and after Zhang Wuxian dismounted, he went to the back of a high mound around him for a small relief.

Just when Zhang Wuxian was relieved, he unexpectedly found bloodstains, and looking at the color and brightness of the bloodstains, it seemed that it had just been splashed on the ground for a short time, so in this way, this place had killed people or fought before.

Zhang Wuxian did not hide the situation, but told everyone the bloodstains he saw as soon as possible, including Li Chuan. After Bai Xingsong heard this, he frowned and said, "In this way, this place should not stay for a long time, we must hurry up now, and save unnecessary trouble." ”

Zhang Wuxian nodded, but Li Chuan rejected Bai Xingsong's idea, Li Chuan thought that the people who had been running around overnight were sleepy and tired, and they had to rest, otherwise they would not be able to continue to march at all.

Lord Belle had the same idea as Li Chuan, after all, he was a military general, and he knew the truth that horses could not be tired, so Zhang Wuxian didn't say much, and naturally rested.

However, Zhang Wuxian didn't dare to sleep at all, he was afraid that he would never wake up after sleeping. Since Li Chuan strongly recommended that he rest here, then everyone would not be ambushed by the Liang army here, and even if they were really ambushed, they would be troubled.

After the two armies fought, just as Li Chuan meant, if he fought with them once, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Wuxian's army would be greatly reduced, and finally his people would come out, as long as they didn't have much effort, they could take everyone to ask for merit and reward.

At noon, Zhang Wuxian sent a few soldiers to look for birds and beasts, after all, there was no meat in the dry food they carried, in fact, the real purpose was to let these people pay attention to the surrounding vigilance, and by the way, they used the excuse to look around to see if there were any cottages or the like.

After careful investigation by these soldiers, they found that there was a small cottage in the southeast direction of the camp, although the scale of the cottage was not large, but the sound of their training troops could be heard from a distance, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Zhang Wuxian didn't plan to tell any of them the news, so Zhang Wushu just kept instigating everyone to leave this place.

Lord Belle said: "Grandpa Zhang, you have repeatedly opposed our army stationing here, what kind of heart do you have in your heart? Could it be that you really want everyone to die of exhaustion?"

Zhang Wushu just wanted to reply to Baylor, when he suddenly saw a gust of wind flying in front of his eyes, Zhang Wushu saw this and quickly dodged sideways, and when Zhang Wushu was looking ahead, there was already a bow and arrow deep on the trunk.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuxian shouted: "Everyone is vigilant, there are bandits!"

As soon as the words fell, countless bows and arrows followed, and soldiers kept falling from their bows and arrows. Zhang Wushu and Lord Belle protected Princess Yuxiang and came to a corner, and said, "Lord Belle, now you know why I want you to leave this place, right?"

Baylor snorted disdainfully, and then said: "It's just some reckless rogues, all the brothers rush up with me and take the head of the enemy general!"

With that, Lord Belle drove his horse out in the rain of arrows, followed by many soldiers. Although he was brave, he was brave and reckless, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers who charged after him.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuxian couldn't help sighing, thinking that after all, the situation that Li Chuan wanted to see the most had happened, and then he turned around and said to the brothers who were injured by the sword: "Brothers, help me take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Bai, and the miscellaneous family will go to help Lord Belle!"

After that, Zhang Wuxian also rushed out, but Zhang Wuxian and Baylor Ye and his party took a different path. In Zhang Wuxian's opinion, only braving the rain of arrows is the most dangerous of all the offensives, so Zhang Wuxian rode around the halfway up the mountain behind, and with his ability to leap three feet, he soon found the archers hidden in the forest.

Zhang Wuxian tiptoed to hide himself and began to check the enemy's situation. After Zhang Wuxian's careful inspection, he found that there were about 500 archers, and a small number of them were still using machine crossbows, which were extremely lethal.

Zhang Wushu followed the hills below to the place where the crossbowmen were concentrated, and after he saw it, he quietly rushed out, killing two people with two fists, and then kicked the four of them off the cliff with both feet with a backflip, and just as the few people got out of their hands, the crossbow fell from their hands.

Almost at the same time, after Zhang Wushu snatched the machine crossbow, he shot at the rest of the people at a lightning speed, and in less than a cup of tea, the mountainside was already full of corpses, due to the large reduction of archers, it provided great convenience for the charge of Lord Baylor, and soon Baylor led people to the place halfway up the mountainside.

Lord Belle threw a look at Zhang Wuxian and said, "How? Ben Belle was born brave, these are just rabble, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Zhang Wuxian smiled disdainfully, and motioned to Lord Belle with his eyes and said to the brothers lying on the ground below: "How many people did you bring with you when you came to charge into battle, and how many people are left after rushing halfway up the mountain? Do you know that your hasty decision not only burned the lives of more than 100 people, but also greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of our mission. ”

Baylor didn't think so, but insisted that Zhang Wuxian was timid and afraid of things, and did not dare to step forward to kill the enemy. At this time, Baylor suddenly made a bold decision and said: "Father-in-law Zhang, the lives of these hundred brothers are indeed unjustly killed, so Ben Baylor will personally lead troops to attack the nest of these thieves and wipe them out, which can be regarded as raising the prestige of my Great Qi country." ”

After that, Li Chuan clapped his hands and walked over, and kept shouting in his mouth, he said: "Li Chuan agrees with Lord Belle's approach, the thieves here are extremely arrogant, although my Liang has a majority of soldiers and horses, but there is a lack of talent like Lord Baylor who is brave and good at fighting, if Lord Baylor is willing to lead the troops in person, I believe that it will be easy to level this gang of thieves." ”

Zhang Wuxian looked at this hypocritical Li Chuan with hurtful eyes, but he couldn't debunk this person, and he was so unhappy in his heart. In addition, this Belle Ye was played by Li Chuan, looking at Bai Xingsong, and it seemed that he had turned against Li Chuan, and now he was really isolated.

To be honest, there was no such thing as a in Li Chuan's plan, but the tone and attitude of Lord Belle at that time made Li Chuan have a more stable plan than before, so he made a detour to Wancheng.

Wancheng is the most famous city of heavy soldiers in Daliang, it is no exaggeration to say that no one can rush into Wancheng alone, and before reaching the city gate, it has been smashed by the trebuchet on the enemy's city wall.

Li Chuan led everyone to the bottom of the city wall of Wancheng, and at this time, the trebuchets on the city wall had already aimed at Li Chuan and the others, waiting for their guard Gao Chun to give an order at any time.

Gao Chun looked at the people below and found that they were all unfamiliar faces, so he immediately shouted: "The barracks are heavy, and the idle people can't get close, who are the people below?"

Li Chuan shouted: "This official is Li Chuan, the advisor of the court, and all of you around me are from the marriage mission of Daqi, and they have come here to tell you something on the orders of Your Majesty. ”

With that, Li Chuan took out a token from his waist and threw it at the city wall. Gao Chun took it and looked at it carefully, before he shouted: "Open the city gate!"

I saw the drawbridge slowly lowered, and the city gate also opened. One by one, the people went to the city. Compared with the soldiers of Wancheng, the soldiers of the Daqi marriage team looked very embarrassed, injured and disabled.

Bai Xingsong was very chilled when he saw that the team he led had come to this point, and then said to Gao Chun: "General Gao, I have waited for many days to trek through mountains and rivers, and I have not eaten a full meal, and my brothers are also in rags, so the official wants them to wash them off and then go to see them." ”

Gao Chun nodded, and then Zhang Wushu and his party were taken to the camp tent, and the soldiers fetched water for them and were responsible for washing.

At the same time, Li Chuan and Gao Chun were sitting in the lobby and were talking about something, while the listener Gao Chun's face became more and more strange, and finally he didn't hold back directly, and said angrily: "What, how could Your Majesty let my Great Liang Army cooperate with the reckless Liukou?"
