After the Tartars flew away and descended the high slope, Lin Yi and Zhang Hua came out and got the four horses of the Tartars into the forest.
Leaving Zhang Hua, He Tao, Erhu, Wang Qi and a few others on guard at the edge of the forest, Lin Yi, Zu Keyong, Wang Jian and others began to discuss in the forest.
Zu Keyong scolded: "Raised by a son of a bitch, 30,000 Tartars want to ambush Governor Lu here? In other words, they have already received the news that Lord Lu is going to pass through here? ”
Lin Yi nodded, "It must be so, otherwise these Tartars wouldn't be so excited." ”
Wang Jiandao: "In this case, we will immediately send people to Pegasus to Yuyang to report to the governor, lest they be ambushed by the Tartars."
"That's exactly what I mean." Lin Yi said, looking at Zu Keyong, "Brother Zu, this matter belongs to you, you are the guerrilla commander of the imperial court, you are well-informed, more experienced than us, and Lord Lu is easy to believe in you." Ride fast horses, take two brothers, and go around from the back of this forest, and be sure to intercept Lord Lu on the way. ”
Zu Keyong arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is left to you."
Lin Yi smiled slyly, "Big brother, I see that you have been in the officialdom for a long time and have become an old fritter in the officialdom, do you really treat the younger brother as an adult?" ”
Zu Keyong said with a sense of urgency: "Public is public and private, I am no longer a guerrilla commander, and you are the official general of the army, and you have also acted as the general of the city guard, and you have received your orders, of course you have to be called an adult."
Wang Jian also said: "Yes, there is no joke in the army, the etiquette level cannot be wasted, Brother Lin has long been our adult, don't be too humble."
"Well, so be it." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Zu Keyong picked Zhao Tingshou, Zhao Sheng and Yang Fang as his entourage, all three of whom were Ning Yuanjun and were all Zu Keyong's subordinates.
Zu Keyong was still a little worried, "My lord, what are you going to do next?" ”
"Brother Zu, go quickly, don't worry, we will move with the camera."
"Take care."
Zu Keyong knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't dare to delay, so he left with three people.
More than 300 people, if all retreat, the target in broad daylight is very large, and it is easy to be discovered by Tartar spies so close to it.
Therefore, Lin Yi ordered these people to stay in the forest, and he, Xiaoying, Zhang Hua, and Erhu changed into the clothes of the four Tartars, and according to their body shapes, they were almost the same, and from a distance, the four of them were Tartars.
Of course, Lin Yi and the four of them don't need to wear makeup, this is to fight far away and not close, the four of them are ready to sneak out and see how these Tartars are ambushed, so that they know it, but this is more dangerous.
For ease of movement, the four of them mounted their Tartar horses, and they all carried bows, quivers, and scimitars, all of which were in Tartar line.
But when I came back, I was afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding with Brother Lin Dong and cause a big deal. Lin Yi was very thoughtful, and the four of them tied a white cloth on the left arm to show the difference.
After Lin Yi and the four of them left, the 300 people in the forest were temporarily handed over to Wang Jian to be responsible, so that they must be hidden.
Lin Yi and they have this body, they can hide from afar, even if they are Tartars, they are not afraid of the shadows, the four of them listened to the movement, and they dared to go to the high post immediately, and the leader of the Tartar scouts, Wen Ke, and the five people had already retreated.
Immediately on the high hill, they could see the dust rolling in the distance, Lin Yi and the others hurriedly went down the high slope, abandoned the war horse, covered their bodies with the high slope, and lay on the slope to look into the distance.
The cavalry of the Tartars stopped a few miles from them, and came one after another, with infantry and baggage, so that after more than half an hour, the official road below the slope was full of Tartar troops, and there was no edge in sight.
Then they began to lay ambushes on the sides of the official roads, ravines, artemisia grasses, and groves. Unable to conceal it, they began to dig trenches and build dirt.
Lin Yi and the others were watching with relish, a team of Tartars came to Gaogang's side, Lin Yi and they quickly rolled down the high slope, flew on their horses, ran for more than two miles, got into the woods, and covered themselves.
Getting the horse into the forest, Lin Yi and the others hid behind the tree and looked at the high slope.
At this time, a team of Tartars rushed up the high slope, people shouted and neighed, and after several leaders of the Tartars pointed and pointed, they soon pulled a few cannons, and they were ready to deploy the cannons on the high slope.
More than a dozen Tartars pushed a cannon, Lin Yi was the first time to see a Tartar cannon, from a distance it looked like the barrel was pitch black, with the thickness of a purlin, with two wheels, and seven or eight Tartars pushing on one side, which looked very bulky.
But Lin Yi knew that despite this, in the era of cold weapons, this was tantamount to an incomparably powerful missile.
The Tartars began to deploy their cannons halfway up the slope on this side of the slope, and the cannons were secured, and the Tartars began to adjust the crosshairs and illuminate the door.
Some Tartars carried boxes after boxes here, and Lin Yi knew that these should be shells and explosives.
"One door, two doors, three ......" Lin Yi quietly counted, and the Tartars brought a total of 15 cannons.
Lin Yi secretly said in his heart, 30,000 Tartars are ambushing here, and there are fifteen cannons to cheer up, the Tartars' capital this time is really too big. How many men and horses will Lu Xiangsheng come, I hope Zu Keyong will meet Lu Xiangsheng smoothly and prepare early, otherwise how many casualties will be killed in this ambush battle.
Now Lin Yi and they don't dare to move, and two miles out of this forest is the artillery position of the Tartars.
This is simply close at hand, and if the target is exposed, the consequences are unimaginable. The only thing they could do now was to wait until it was dark, and then under the cover of night, theirs would be able to get out of the way.
But waiting for time is really a torment, time is a strange thing, the more you want it to pass faster, the more slowly it rises, like an old man walking. But the more you wish it slowed down, and when you can keep it, it will slip faster than a thief, and it will pass in a flash.
Don't look at Lin Yi, he had received special training in his previous life, and now he is also a little uneasy in his heart.
I don't know how long it took to wait, and the Tartars on the opposite side also regained calm, and the Tartars on the artillery camp position, there were hundreds of people, and after loading their ammunition, they were all lying there motionless.
Lin Yi looked at the sky, at this time, the sun was just in the west, that is, just after noon, and there were still at least two hours before it got dark.
Zu Keyong and the others have been gone for two hours, and now they don't know what the situation is?
Seeing that the Tartars were all inactive, Lin Yi and they didn't need to suffer here, they sent a few people to watch here, Lin Yi and Xiao Ying went to the depths of the forest, changed out of the Tartars' clothes, put on their original equipment, and returned to their original appearance.
At this time, Wang Jian handed over dry food and water, Lin Yi and a few of them, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, took the water bag and took two more mouthfuls each, feeling much more comfortable in their stomachs.
Xiao Ying got some leaves and long grass, and laid them on the ground, Lin Yi lay on them and closed his eyes to recuperate, this time he felt more comfortable, he didn't want anything, just waited for it to be dark and retreated safely with his brothers.
With this relaxation of body and mind, Lin Yi felt really tired. Although the fatigue of the saddle horse is not as good as the training of special soldiers in the previous life, this kind of march in the era of cold weapons is very different from the mechanized march of later generations.
Lin Yi relaxed his mind, his breathing slowed down, and his brain slowly entered a state of chaos, and he actually squinted.
The depths of this forest are also just right for a nap, the weather in the October afternoon is neither hot nor cold, Lin Yi and they have just eaten, and they feel tired, in this case, it is easy to fall asleep.
Lin Yi didn't know how long he had been asleep, and suddenly, a cannon shot woke him up from his dream.
It was the signal cannon of the Tartars, and after it went off, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing outside the woods.
"Rush, kill, don't let King Lu Yan escape...... Capture Lu Xiangsheng alive ......"
Lin Yi jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, and more than 300 people including Xiaoying and Wang Jian were all alert.
Lin Yi rushed to the edge of the forest at a fast speed, covered himself behind a tree, and looked out.
Because the high slope is blocked, you can't see the situation on the other side of the slope, but when you hear the earth-shaking shouting and killing, it must be Lu Xiangsheng's people and horses who have entered the encirclement of the Tartars, and then look at the sun, it is already the sunset, and the fiery sunset reflects the red sky in the west, and in the glow, the sky and the earth have become red.
"How so? Brother Zu, didn't they see Governor Lu? Such a thought flashed through Lin Yi's heart.
At this moment, I heard the halfway slope of the high post opposite, a Tartar leader shouted: "Aim at me, fire the cannon!"
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and made a bold decision: Damn, today is today!
"Pass my order, attack the Tartars' running camp position, and charge me!"
Lin Yi shouted, brandished a steel knife and flew out, Xiao Ying, Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dongsheng, left and right followed closely. Behind them, Wang Jian, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and other 300 people rushed out of this forest with shouts and rushed towards the artillery position of the Tartars on the opposite high post......
