Chapter 43 Ambush

Around the end of the unitary period, everyone gathered in the grove outside the mouth of the three rivers.

Thirty people were stolen from Gushan, which was not much different from the number that Xu Zixian judged.

There were more than a dozen archers among them, but they were all armed with spears, and the Ge brothers and their subordinates were obviously good hands, strong and quite agile, and they were on guard outside the forest, whispering, and patrolling, all showing full experience.

These dozens of people made the Fuzhou government helpless, and even repeatedly recruited security without success, which shows their martial arts and patience, ordinary people are easily tired in the days of hiding in Tibet, but it is obvious that the Ge brothers and their subordinates have no problems in this regard.

When Xu Zixian led thirty teenagers over, Ge Cunzhong, Ge Zhongyi, and several leaders of the Gushan thieves came up together. Qin Dongyang, Li Yi, and Liu Yi were also around.

"The arrangement of the prince is really proper." Ge Cunzhong still spoke very cheerfully, he praised it, then looked around and said, "How to fight this battle?" ”

"I am outnumbered." Xu Zixian did not greet politely, and replied directly: "It is best to use skill rather than force, the enemy will go ashore from the wharf, and will definitely search the surroundings, and then continue to move towards the avenue of Sanchuankou, during which sentries will be sent to open the distance to prevent ambushes, and when you arrive at Sanchuankou, it is very close to the Pu's trading house, here is a straight avenue, there are private houses not far from both sides, and there is a small Henan An River running through the north and south, I think it is ambushed here." ”

Ge Cunzhong glanced at Xu Zixian and said, "It seems that the prince of the world leads people to run around the town every day, but he has a thorough understanding of the terrain. ”

In fact, Xu Zixian had this idea a long time ago, in fact, he had a lot of more strange ideas, what to hit his half-crossing, or find a way to get gunpowder to be loaded on a small boat and attack with fire, etc., every night he would watch the art of war in the study, until one day Qin Dongyang told him that these things can be turned over, it is impossible to succeed.

Qishan bandits have been rampant on the sea and Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places for many years, almost every Qishan bandit has battlefield experience, the terrain investigation in advance, the use of the water flow and the Min River, as well as the sentinel reconnaissance after going ashore are all inevitable things, if the Qishan bandits with troops do not do these things, it can simply be regarded as an internal response.

Since this is the case, Xu Zixian honestly asked Qin Dongyang for advice, and finally the two of them studied the geographical advantages and decided to launch an ambush on both sides of the small bridge from Sanchuankou to the market town, and the Qishan thieves could successfully reach there The vigilance should be the most relaxed moment, and the terrain is relatively usable, which is enough.

"Halfway through, let's let fifty or sixty people cross the bridge, and then cut off their team, we have more than sixty people, and it shouldn't be too difficult to beat about one hundred and fifty Qishan bandits."

Ge Cunzhong's eyes showed murderous aura, but the rest of the Drum Mountain thieves had doubts in their eyes, the son of the world in front of him and the thirty people under him were all half-sized children, and their physical strength had not yet reached the peak state of men, martial arts had not yet been introduced, and there was no armor.

Such an ally is really suspicious.

It's actually good to be looked down upon, but the real battlefield is not a game, and the risk is certainly not small. Xu Zixian smiled and said, "We are on both sides, and Ge Ye, you are facing the enemy in the middle." ”

"Throw spears together, let's rush to the middle, and after they are disrupted, you can kill as many as you can on both sides."

Ge Cunyi said at this time: "Don't be greedy for merit, we have fought with Qishan thieves many times, although their martial arts are not as good as ours, and the fierceness is actually not below us." ”

There are more than 2,000 thieves in Qishan, and there are never more than 100 robbers in Gushan, one mainly robs civilians, one only targets the rich and big, and the other kills people without counting, regardless of women, children and the elderly, it can be said that they have a lot of blood debts, and the other rarely kills innocents.

The two styles of bandits are also interesting to think about, and the friction between the two sides may also be due to different concepts, each of them owes each other a lot of blood debts over the years, and both sides will attack each other if they have the opportunity.

The Ge family brothers seized the opportunity this time, of course, they wanted to knock Qishan thieves hard, and they could remind Xu Zixian not to be greedy for merit and take risks in advance, Ge Cunzhong is really a person with faith and persistence.

It's a pity that often such people will not end well, Xu Zixian remembered that Chen Yutai, the leader of the Qishan bandits, was the first to surrender and performed well in the new attached army, and his hands were stained with the blood of the people on Fujian Road...... If there is a way of heaven, why is it so?

At the beginning of the hour, Jin Jian, who had been sent to the riverside sentry again, trotted back and made an affirmative hand gesture.

More than 60 people crouched and lurked in the dense forest on both sides of the bridge, the surroundings were silent, only the occasional bird chirping and insect chirping, at this hour everyone had already entered the dream, although it was only nine o'clock, in the later generations of nightlife has not yet begun at the moment, in this time and space is already night.

This is more than two miles away from the river, which means that more than 200 Qishan thieves will come in a quarter of an hour to twenty minutes at most, and they will already go ashore, and it will not take more than two quarters of an hour to remove the sentry guards.

Xu Zixian subconsciously held his breath, in the distance is the Nan'an River, its source is on the Jianzhou side, the river converges to the Min River, and then flows out to the sea.

The speed of the river is a little more rapid than usual at this time, and the sound of rushing water can be clearly heard.

The stone arch bridge can accommodate three or four people to walk together, and the history of the bridge is comparable to the history of the first generation of Nan'an Hou to live in Fuzhou...... Originally, it was a bridge built by the first generation of Nan'an Hou.

In the distance, there was the sound of the watchman tapping the bangzi, but he was not in a hurry or slow, and he was leisurely.

Xu Zi first lay on the ground, vaguely smelling the smell of grass on the ground, as well as the fishy smell of the soil, it had been raining for a while, although it had been sunny for two days, the ground was still quite wet, this smell was not good, and the feeling of lying on the ground was not good, and there may be a wild grass poking into his nose and eyes, and it was very uncomfortable.

At this moment, it made him feel a little emotional, maybe this kind of life is not as leisurely as a husband, but he dares to give up, and can he bear to give up?

Sometimes it's a little more satisfying to let go, but eventually you will lose more.

He only tightened the long sand in his hand until his palms were about to sweat and he didn't know it.

Xu Zixian has never done anything like this in his previous life and this life, and nervousness is inevitable.

"The prince doesn't have to worry." Qin Dongyang on the side whispered: "On such a battlefield, Liu Yi can easily block ten or eight. If it weren't for the Qishan Pirates' rich experience in the battlefield and their good hands, even thirty or fifty would not be his opponents. ”

Liu Yi was lying on his stomach on the side, as if he was playing with the wild fruit that had just been picked from the tree, ignoring Qin Dongyang's words at all. Not only that, Xu Zixian seems to be able to smell the smell of wine, this guy doesn't gamble now, he has become an alcoholic, and on such a day?

As if feeling Xu Zixian's shock and stunned, Qin Dongyang whispered again: "The introduction to martial arts is actually the inheritance of the gate, and if you can have a hundred enemies on the battlefield, you can be called an invincible brave general, and if you have ten thousand enemies, you can also be called an invincible brave general, and those who are ten thousand enemies are also the art of war." We are a martial arts master, we can't deal with more than 100 ordinary people, we can't use the terrain to wander, use throwing guns, bows and arrows, long and short weapons, constantly consume their patience and courage, and finally counter-kill and pursue is not a problem. And ordinary officers and soldiers, such as the Jiangfang Battalion, dozens of people can't help us, but trying to defeat 100 of them with the strength of one person is beyond the ability of ordinary military generals. And the elite of the Qishan thieves is a little stronger than the forbidden soldiers of the Beijing camp, but the equipment is a little worse, even if we are masters, we are still sure of one to ten, and more than this number depends on the terrain, luck, and the cooperation of partners. ”

"I see."

Qin Dongyang smiled and said: "In the final analysis, martial arts is a killing technique, not a person in the army who practices martial arts, either a dart line, or a fallen grass, the rich and noble people are not people who practice martial arts, the prince asked me about martial arts before, I refused, I just felt that the identity of the prince would not last long, and it was useless to learn." Now it seems that I am still shallow......"

It seems that this is the martial arts of this era, from strength to physique, to breathing and technical attacks, and finally to the momentum of a strong man.

Xu Zi was a student of the Department of History, and he was very familiar with the records of the ancient warriors, and the famous story of the overlord was too fantasy to be believed.

And the real fierce generals and brothers have all dynasties and generations, those warriors in the Northern Wei Dynasty, wearing more than seventy pounds of heavy armor, holding the impact, can fight in the enemy formation, the famous Yang Zhong, the father of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, fought against thousands of enemy troops with several companions at the bridgehead, and fought with blood in iron armor all over the body, and the enemies killed were piled up at the bridgehead, this is the real fierce man in the army, and the master of the advanced killing technique.

Stronger, faster, more accurate, mastering and distributing your own physical fitness, cultivating your own unique momentum, and overwhelming others with momentum, this is not too mysterious, it is a matter of common sense.

If Qin Dongyang said anything about internal force just now, Xu Zixian would feel too mysterious, a little like a charlatan.

"I'm looking forward to it." Xu Zixian grinned and let out a heartfelt smile.

"The prince is going to Beijing to attack the lord." Qin Dongyang said seriously: "In the past, the clan assessment was not a martial arts test, but it was just a formality, the text can be written into writing, and the martial arts can ride a horse and shoot arrows, even if they are qualified." Now the civil lock hall has been suspended for a long time, and I don't know when it will be reopened. The military attache lock hall test is carried out normally, but it is carried out together with the assessment of the generals of the Beijing camp, the standard is the same, in addition to the test of bow and arrow riding, there are also strength, fighting and other skills, although the prince is diligent, but still can not be taken lightly. ”

"In the future, there will be Brother Lao Qin."

At this time, Liu Yi made a hand gesture not far away, and Qin Dongyang immediately shut up and stopped the answer between the two.

After such an answer, Xu Zixian's spirit has obviously recovered a lot, at least not as nervous as he was just now. He glanced at Qin Dongyang, who was not far away, and the thirty-year-old Hou Mansion Lieutenant was squinting at the darkness in the distance, as if he could see something else in such a night......

After a few more minutes, Xu Zixian, who was listening carefully, heard the rustling sound of spring eating leaves, and he felt a little stunned, Liu Yi could actually hear the movement from such a distance?

At this time, there was no chance to speak again, more than 200 people were getting closer and closer, the moonlight tonight was not bad, and the figure of the Qishan thief who walked a few hundred steps away was quite clear.
