Chapter 109: The Peak Dam
Li Feiyu only has more than ten brothers under his command, but there are more than 40 assassins under Hamiguo's command, and the disparity in strength is still relatively large.
In the makeshift camp at the top of the mountain, Hamigo sat beside more than forty of his subordinates, all of whom were powerful warriors who had been carefully selected and trained by his master.
Hamiguo has always been wise and brave, and for this reason, he has won the unanimous support of all his subordinates, but this time, he took seven of his best subordinates to assassinate Li An in Chen Cangcheng, and let all seven of his subordinates die in battle, which is a great blow to his confidence, and at the same time, it also greatly reduces his prestige.
"Hamiguo, you seem to be afraid of that Ang Li, this is not like you."
"Yes! That Tang general Li An, is it really that powerful? ”
"Hmph, no matter how powerful Li An is, as long as he dares to come, he will be washed into the water to feed Wang Ba."
Several subordinates saw that Hamiguo's expression was not as confident as before, and they encouraged loudly.
When Hamiguo heard this, he suddenly got up and shouted: "I, Hamiguo, stand up to the sky and the earth, how can I be afraid of a horseman, this is just a reminder to you that you should not underestimate the enemy." ”
"Hamiguo, we have stored the mountain spring for five days, which is enough to deal with thousands of troops and horses, so why not take the enemy lightly."
Hamigo glared at this subordinate: "Presumptuous, this time we are ordered by the master to come to assassinate Zhao Yufu, there must be no accidents, the dam has been reinforced, take me to see it." ”
The subordinate bowed his head and walked towards the place where the dam had been built, with Hamigo following closely behind.
Seeing Hamiguo and a few people leaving, Li Feiyu glanced at more than a dozen subordinates behind him, signaling them to stay where they were, and he went to check on it alone.
After bypassing a forest, Li Feiyu was surprised to find that behind this mountain, there was actually a lake with a considerable area, and the sparkling water surface was very dazzling under the sunlight.
Here, there is such a beautiful scenery hidden, which Li Feiyu did not expect, but he soon discovered the problem, the height of the water surface of this lake is obviously much higher than that of Chen Cangdao, if the embankment is broken, the consequences are only afraid of being extremely serious.
Li Feiyu seemed to realize something, and hurriedly hid quietly, and only after Hamigo left, did he quietly walk to the place where Hamiguo had just been.
They built such a high levee, and they were going to attack it with water. ’
Li Feiyu looked at the embankment in front of him, and was secretly surprised in his heart, so much lake water, once the embankment collapses, the consequences can be imagined.
Upon learning that the Assassins were going to attack with water, Li Feiyu told the brothers to retreat a mile back to stand by, while he himself immediately rode back to Chencang City, preparing to report this important situation to Li An.
In the evening, Li Feiyu rode his horse into Chencang City and went straight to the county office.
"Feiyu, you're back so soon, what did you find?"
As soon as Li An walked out of the county office, he saw Li Feiyu who was rushing in a hurry.
"Big brother, there is an ambush on Chencang Road, and the assassins have built a dam on the mountainside, so that the mountain spring water gathers into a lake, once the embankment breaks, the people and horses passing through Chencang Road will inevitably be killed."
When Li An heard this, he was taken aback, and rejoiced: "Fortunately, you discovered the assassin's conspiracy, otherwise, our more than 1,000 people would have been washed into the old water to feed the fish." ”
"Big brother, what now? Do you want to send troops and horses to annihilate all these assassins? ”
Li An smiled faintly: "Don't worry, let them live one more night!" You just have to do what I say. After speaking, he whispered in Li Feiyu's ear.
"Don't worry, big brother, I know what to do."
Li Feiyu responded and immediately went to prepare.
In order to assassinate the king of Guichang, these frenzied assassins actually used water attacks, knowing that once the dam bursts, more than 1,000 people may be killed or injured. ’
Li Antou couldn't help but be surprised by the ferocity of the assassin, and at the same time, it also proved once again that the assassin would not give up if he did not kill King Guichang, and the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.
It was Ang Lee's responsibility to protect King Guichang's safety, but Ang Lee did not intend to tell anyone about the Assassin's ambush to avoid leaking the news and causing the plan to fail.
After resting for a whole day, Li An led the team to slowly leave Chencang City and march towards Chencang Road, although there was an assassin ambush ahead, but Li An had already arranged it, so he was not worried about the assassin's water attack.
Half an hour later, the team entered a very difficult terrain, with the old road on one side of the road and the extremely steep cliffs on the other, which was very conducive to ambush.
Xi Yu gently lifted the curtain, looking at the steep terrain on both sides, he was slightly worried, the scene that happened in the Ghost Howling Valley made him have a conditional fear of this kind of dangerous terrain.
'Where's Captain Li?' ’
Xi Yu stuck his head out of the carriage and looked back and forth.
"You, go and call Captain Li."
"Yes, Xi Shilang."
Li An was in the back, and Zhao Yufu was having a good time, and Xi Yu suddenly wanted to see him, which made Li An quite unhappy, but Xi Yu was a member of the court, and Li An really didn't dare to refute his face at will.
After smiling at each other's eyes, Li An rode his horse and galloped forward.
"Xi Shilang, what are your orders?"
Li Ang slowed down and asked sideways.
Xi Yu pointed to the outside of the curtain and said worriedly: "Captain Li, you see that both sides of this road are in a desperate situation, if there are assassins in ambush, wouldn't it be dangerous for us." ”
Li An smiled faintly: "Xi Shilang rest assured, the lowly position has already investigated the situation here, and there is no assassin ambush at all." ”
Xi Yu nodded reassuringly: "Okay, it's good that there are no assassins, this official is not afraid of death, but we have to protect the safety of King Guichang on this trip, and as a courtier, we must not live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." ”
"What Xi Shilang said is that Li An will definitely be loyal to his duties and serve His Majesty wholeheartedly."
Li An opened his mouth and agreed.
Li An, who has been a man in two lives, how can he not see the fear in Yu's heart, but after all, Xi Yu is a big official in the court, and he is a person who values face very much, Li An not only can't expose him, but also tries his best to protect him.
Seeing that Xi Yu had put his mind at ease, Li An smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and looked up at the distance of Chen Cangdao, at this moment, Li Feiyu should have been deployed.
The team of more than 1,000 people, lined up for several miles in the narrow Chencang Road, looked quite spectacular, and before he knew it, the forward Tang cavalry entered Hamigo's sight.
"Hamiguo, the Tang Army is here, let's do it!"
Hamigo waved his hand: "Don't worry, this is the vanguard of the Tang Army, let them go first, and when Guichang's carriage comes, we will send a signal." ”
As a resourceful assassin, Hamigo understood that only when King Guichang's carriage happened to pass by, ordering the embankment to break could have the best effect, and when the time came, the huge Hong Summit quickly swept away the carriage of King Guichang and rushed into the ancient water not far away, so that the probability of King Guichang's survival must be extremely low, and he and the main force were ambushed in the middle of the mountainside, as long as the Tang army was swept away by the flood, he could take his men and horses and calmly shoot the survivors on the water.
"Hamigo, what about Ayi? Isn't she in the ranks of the Don Army? ”
Hearing this, Hamigo frowned slightly: "I can't care so much, Ayi has excellent water properties, I hope she's okay." ”
The language is stiff and cold, which is enough to show that Ayi does not have much weight in Hamigo's heart, and in order to complete the task assigned by the master, Hamigo will not consider Ayi's life and death at all.
The main force of the Tang army was getting closer and closer, and the carriages entered Hamigo's sight one after another.
The corners of Hamiguo's mouth were hideous, and he ordered: "Send a signal." ”
A wisp of cooking smoke slowly drifted into the sky from the ambush position of Hamigo, which was the signal for Hamigo to let the subordinates who stayed behind in the embankment start to burst the embankment.
As soon as the smoke is raised, the embankment must be dug immediately.
As soon as he thought of the huge flood peak, which rushed the entire Tang army into the old water to feed the fish, Hamigo was extremely excited and stood up suddenly.
'Ang Li, Zhao Yufu, you just wait for death! ’
Hamigo's face once again showed a look of pride.
Proud, proud, and refreshing, Hamigo was happy for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, the signal had been sent for a while, why was there no movement.
"Hamiguo, half of the main force of the Tang Army has passed."
Hamigo gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "These bastards who are not angry have delayed the big thing, you come with me." ”
With all his men and horses, Hamigo quickly ran towards the location of the embankment.
"Whoosh ......"
A rapid rain of arrows came from the embankment, knocking down a large number of his subordinates beside him.
It turned out that Li Feiyu followed Li An's order, and led dozens of warriors to set off from Chencang City overnight to ambush near the embankment.
"It's hateful, how did the Tang army know, how could they know that there was a dam here."
Hamiguo's eyes were red, he was going crazy, such a seamless water attack plan was actually broken by the Tang Army so easily.
"Impossible, impossible, how is this possible."
Hamigo shook his head vigorously, he couldn't believe it was true.
"Hamigo, we've already suffered most of the casualties, run away!"
Seeing that the other party was strong, Hamiguo glared at Li Feiyu and the others fiercely, and fled around the tree with the few remaining subordinates.
Li Feiyu led his warriors to chase after him for a while, and shot several assassins, but he still let Hamigo escape.
The sound of fighting from the top of the mountain surprised the marching Tang army, and all the soldiers clenched their weapons and looked nervously at the top of the mountain.
"Captain Li, why is there a fight?"
Xi Yu lifted the curtain and looked at Li An nervously.
