XVI. Ambush

The moonlight is hazy, shining on the shadows of the mountain and forest trails.

The wind was strong, the woods on the hills were loud, and the yellowing leaves fell down and fell on the shoulders of people, popping softly.

Compared to the avenue, the trail is narrower, but the soil is soft and the path is very smooth, which increases the speed of the march.

"Tuk... Tuk tuk tuk~! ”

The sound of frantic horses' hooves resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the fierce shouts of killing were like cold winds.

The white torrent shuttles straight through the winding path, trampling on the grass and tenderness, and the juice splashes and runs away.

As soon as they crossed this pine path, and passed through a dense forest, they could rush into the plain, and after three or five miles to the east, the terrain would gradually become open again.

And there, it is where the main force of Wuhuan that was detected by the horse exploration before!

Gongsun Zhan, who was eager to break the enemy's heart, couldn't wait to be able to plug in a pair of wings, and flew over directly with people and horses, constantly urging the army to speed up, thinking of defeating Wuhuan in one fell swoop.

Yes, even if there is a cloud in the art of war, "a hundred miles and the one who is interested in the general will be the general, and fifty miles and the one who is interested in the army is half a to!" ”

(Those who march 100 miles to fight for the enemy's advantage may lose the general, and only half of the soldiers who march 50 miles to fight the enemy for advantage can arrive.) Roughly speaking, it means that a hasty march on the battlefield is a taboo on the march. )

After witnessing the miserable environment along the way, these precautions were all forgotten by the angry Gongsun Zhan.

"Speed up the march, and those who take the lead in attacking the Wuhuan camp will be rewarded with 100 gold!"

Gongsun Chan shook the tip of his spear, shook off the blood stains that had been stained when he encountered a small group of Wuhuan soldiers not long ago, and led everyone to speed forward.

It's just that no one noticed that after the last ride turned the corner and disappeared, there was a sound of rustling from behind the grass thorns, and a one-person opening was quietly opened.

A Wuhuan soldier walked out, lit a torch, danced a few times, then extinguished again, and then danced a few more times......

"Success?" The general on the high slope in the distance clearly saw the code, and his heart was ecstatic, and he waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone is silent, and the horse is ...... Let's go! ”

Immediately afterwards, among the dense forests on the hillside, a large number of figures rushed out first, carrying them in a flat direction.

It is not difficult to see that a planned operation against Gongsun Chan is about to begin!

.....

"Huh~!"

In front of the dense forest, Bai Ma Yicong's marching speed slowed down suddenly, and Gongsun Zhan looked around, and his murderous eyes regained a trace of clarity.

"Why is this place?" Gongsun Chan was recruited

Scout.

Upon hearing Gongsun Zhan's question, the scout replied respectfully: "General Hui, this place is called Burying Mapo!" ”

"Bury Horse Slope?" With a mutter, Gongsun Chan inexplicably felt a little heartbeat, but he didn't know why.

After hesitating for a moment, he had no clue, but he decided to lead the army to the dense forest in front of him first.

However, he had barely moved a few steps forward when he saw a night bird flying over the hill in the dark forest in the distance, and let out a cry.

The feeling in his heart became more and more intense, which made Gongsun Chan a little uneasy for no reason....

At this moment, his cousin Gongsun Yue, a strong eight-foot man with a slightly darker face and a slightly rough face, drove his horse forward.

He said to Gongsun Chan with some frowns: "Big brother, the roads here are narrow, the mountains and rivers are pressing, and the trees are overgrown, should we need to watch out for the other party's ambush?" ”

Gongsun Chan suddenly realized, and finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from, and knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly reined in the horse and took the reins, which was able to stop the galloping horses' hooves.

Looking at it again, I saw that the pines and cypresses on both sides of the road in front of me had become lush and green, standing in the wind on both sides of the road, and it seemed that there were people in ambush.

"Slow down!" With a stirring spirit, Gongsun Chan shouted, and immediately, officers of all classes spread this order one by one and spread it to the ears of every soldier.

He drove his horse forward, taking the lead, staring at the pines and cypresses on both sides of the road from time to time, his brows furrowed slightly, and he waved backwards.

From the rear Bai Ma Yi from the middle, a commander waved to his soldiers, and led a small team into the pine and cypress to search.

However, to everyone's surprise, almost as soon as the five soldiers entered the pine and cypress bushes, they broke out one after another cries for help, as well as the fierce sound of gold and iron, and they were obviously ambushed.

There is an ambush!

The army marches, and it is most taboo to ambush.

Even Gao Zhi understands this truth.

Under normal circumstances, the march of a large army should be carried out with horses and horses to prevent ambushes.

Now, because Gongsun Chan was angry, he ordered Bai Ma Yi to go first, and the foot soldiers were all two miles behind, and the whip was beyond the reach of the whip.

Even if Gongsun Zhan stopped and noticed that something was wrong in time, now that the army was attacked, it was also a panic.

A cannon rang out, a drum sounded from the front, Gongsun Chan looked back, and found that the fire was lit up, and in a blink of an eye, all the wood on both sides was burned, but in just a moment, flames were already spreading in all directions.

"Hahaha, Gongsun old thief, you have been tricked!"

"Kill, kill the dog thief Gongsun Zhan!"

With the general's order, from behind the pine forests on both sides of the road, four or five hundred soldiers dressed in black and carrying long knives were killed in an instant.

In the rear of Gongsun Zhan and them, there were also Wuhuan soldiers and soldiers surrounding them!

The embattled is no different.

Especially for Gongsun Zhan and Baima Yicong in the middle of the bush at this time, it is simply worse!

"It's ...... now," Gongsun Zhan also knew his current situation, sighed, and then shouted loudly, "All the kings fight to the death!" ”

"Drink!" Those white horses have never been worthy of being the elite of the world, and they are also bold when they are in a desperate situation, and when they saw that the lord was giving the order, they immediately rushed towards those bright bows and crossbows.

"Kill! Ahhh Gao Zhi shouted angrily, tightened the spear in his hand, and he had no choice, so he could only puff up, follow closely behind Zhao Yun, and also drive the horse out.

The boredom and fear in his heart made his face and back covered with beads of sweat, and the roaring fighting sound like an overwhelming earth followed.

Subconsciously tilted his head, and a sharp arrow flew less than an inch from his cheek, and the shaky tail feathers scraped into his face, burning and painful.

Immediately afterward, he heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves from the shouts of killing, and Gao Zhi's heart suddenly swelled with a bone-piercing coldness.

Another feathered arrow, 'whirring' through his peripheral vision, flew backwards, and his heart almost jumped out of his nervous heart.

Not far behind him, a white horse neighed violently, and on the horse's belly, the feathered arrow shot directly into it, the horse's body fell to the ground, its hooves struggled and fluttered, and the knight on horseback also fell out and rolled a few times.

However, the white horse under Gongsun Zhan's account is sharp in the world.

On horseback, he was very agile and dodged one after another, and a wave of arrows rained down, but there were not many casualties.

Even if there are a few who are shot by horses, unless they are unlucky enough to be hit by arrows at the same time, most of them can jump off the horse with the help of the horse's body cushion, land easily, and then continue to run.

Jungle encounters, fight!
