Chapter 295: An ambush happened to be in the mountains
On such a cold day and such a barren mountain, there would be a sparrow flying in the sky, Zhang Xianye felt a little strange, so he ordered the front, middle and rear armies to stand by for the time being.
"Shoot it down!"
At the sound of an order, more than a thousand arrows shot up into the sky, and even a flock of geese could shoot down half of them. Unfortunately, the sparrow was so small that it flew so high that all the arrows missed, and when they fell, they wounded several auxiliaries.
Zhang Xianye felt more and more that there was a ghost, and was taking the customary longbow from his own soldiers, when he saw the gray sparrow, as if frightened, flew away.
Maybe he was suspicious, Zhang Xianye shook his head secretly.
The army continued on its way, and it was not long before someone in the army shouted: "General! Look! There is wolf smoke over there!"
Zhang Xianye looked in the direction of the man's finger and looked fixedly, only to see a faint black smoke floating in the sky far away.
"Don't shout nonsense! The wolf smoke gathers but does not disperse! Where can it be like this? It is obvious that there is water in the mountains over there!" Zhang Xianye said this, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.
There are no people in the mountains, and there is no winter thunder, where did the water and fire come from. Besides, it was a coincidence that the black smoke and the gray finch appeared almost at the same time.
Unless...... He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his heart was happy: Could it be that he is already close to Jianzhou Mansion, the gray finch flew from Jianzhou Mansion, and the black smoke is the drifting cooking smoke?
"The mountain scouts are traveling five miles quickly, and they are in front to investigate! The rest of the people are marching as usual! I am glad that the Jianzhou Mansion is not far away!"
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen people jumped out from the front of the army, their bodies were as flexible as apes, obviously cultivating special methods, and they were able to climb in this mountain without hindrance.
The army was cheering, and even Zhang Xianye felt that Jianzhou was in sight, and he couldn't help but speed up a little.
After more than half an hour, only half of the mountain scouts sent out returned, and apart from the normal report of the terrain, they all said that they had seen nothing unusual.
Zhang Xianye subconsciously felt that there was a ghost, and he didn't say anything, but his face gradually became gloomy.
After another half an hour, the lost scout still did not return.
Zhang Xianye felt that there must be something strange in this mountain, and while he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud bang.
When he looked up, he saw a boulder tumbling down from the top of the mountain, right above his head!
It was too late, it was too fast, Zhang Xianye shouted "be careful", his body was like electricity, and he actually plunged into the rock of the mountain wall, and then stuck to it like a gecko.
He was surrounded by elite soldiers, and his reaction was fast, and one by one he either jumped up or fell on the spot.
Someone couldn't dodge, and at the moment of life and death, he punched violently, shattering a stubborn stone the size of a winter melon that came head-on, and then his eyes were dark, and the whole person was smashed to pieces by the boulder that followed.
"Go to the top of the mountain!" Zhang Xianye leaned against the rock, only feeling that there was wind in his ears, rumbling, as if the whole mountain was shaking, but he still did not forget to give a loud order: "The whole army listens to the order! Seize the mountain! Don't let the enemy occupy the high place!"
The boulder almost brushed him down, then bounced several times on the mountain wall, splashing like a splash when it fell into the mountain stream.
Zhang Xianye was shocked, and when he looked around him again, he saw that more than a dozen elite soldiers had become meat in a blink of an eye, and those who jumped down the mountain stream must not have survived.
He was furious, hateful and anxious. He took two steps out and looked overhead, but there was no figure to be seen except for a dazzling rock mark.
"Go up, go up!" he cried out like madness, and with his own hands and feet, he dragged the dead grass from the rocks to the top of the mountain.
Not far away, there was another loud bang, followed by a series of screams.
Zhang Xianye's eyes almost erupted with fire, but he was at a loss, and there was no other way than to climb with all his might.
At this point, he was finally able to conclude that the gray finch must be a scout of the enemy army, and that the black smoke must also be the place where they camped...... You should have shot that gray finch down at all costs!
After paying the price of hundreds of lives and finally climbing the ridge, Zhang Xianye looked around and didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.
Could it be that the ground is just moving?!
He didn't believe it, but he couldn't find any explanation for anything else.
"The front army occupies the ridge! Walk from the ridge! The auxiliaries pass down the mountain! Don't panic!" he ordered loudly, and then ordered the lieutenant general, count the heads, and count the losses.
When the army settled down and marched back to the quilt, on the mountainside in the distance, behind a raised rock, Su Su smiled and looked over here, admiring his masterpiece for a while, before turning his head to Bu An, who was curled up behind her, and whispered: "Why did Childe let me push down three big stones and come back?" ”
"There are a lot of them, God knows what powerful killer weapon is hidden, let's be careful. Bu An smiled and said: "Besides, it will be dark after a while, and it will be easier to be found if you do it at that time." ”
Su Su felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "That boy hurry up and think about it, what else can be done." Now that they occupy a high place, they want to push the stone down the mountain again, but it is not so easy. ”
Bu An thought for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a wicked smile: "Let's do this, after nightfall tonight, you go to the front of their army, make some movement, push more stones, don't kill people, just block their way forward! ”
The two of them made up their minds, and hid behind the rock, staring at the little ones with big eyes, boring and boring—the ambush sounded exciting, but in fact most of the time was spent on boring waiting.
Finally, when night fell, the two took advantage of the darkness to find their way out from behind the rocks.
Bu An whispered instructed, be careful with the elements, don't be careless, and if you encounter a little danger, you should quickly hide, and don't think about killing the enemy.
Su Su knew that Gongzi was worried about her, so she was overjoyed, nodded seriously, and disappeared into the mountain with a puff of smoke. Every time she showed her skills, Bu An felt more and more that this little girl was a demon or a god, and she must be a feline.
That night, there was chaos in the mountains.
When the loud sound of falling rocks came, Zhang Xianye suddenly shook his head. However, he soon discovered that the falling rocks were not coming at his soldiers and horses, as if they were really just moving in the mountains, causing a landslide.
Though he thought so, he was not at ease, and sent scouts to investigate the place where the noise was made, and ordered them to walk on the ridge and not to give up the heights.
However, just as he was waiting for the scout to report, not far behind him, someone shouted: "Go out of the water!
Zhang Xianye turned his head to look and saw that the auxiliary battalion transporting heavy grain and grass had already burst into flames.
"Quick! go put out the fire!"
It wasn't Bu An who set the fire, let alone the timid gray sparrow - Bu An had already ordered him to wait in the previous camp - but the female ghost Yu Ji who was able to move freely in the nearly a mile radius of the ghost party after being promoted to the ghost male.
The female ghost set a few fires, and according to Bu'an's intentions, killed a few auxiliaries, opened the wooden box of baggage they transported, and hastily inspected it, and then picked up an iron weapon casually, and ran away like a gust of wind.
