Chapter Ninety-Nine: Ambush Together

On the ridges on both sides of the farrier ditch, 2,000 men and horses quietly hid in the woods, silently watching the five-mile-long convoy slowly enter the ditch.

The first half of the farrier ditch is the two hundred Qinjia Village soldiers and four hundred and fifty Qinjia Village Qingzhuang led by Qin Wang, and the second half is the two hundred Chicheng County soldiers and the other four hundred and fifty Qingzhuang assigned by Qin Wang to Dongzhuang. The exit was blocked by Yang Xuan with three hundred Qinjia Village soldiers, they were all pikemen, and they had an advantage in the face of the impact of the ironclad cavalry, and the entrance was blocked by Wang Ping with two hundred Chicheng County soldiers, which was the most reasonable distribution of troops that Qin Forget had discussed with Dong Zhuang.

As long as all the convoys enter the trap, Qin Forget will be the first to shoot the leader, with his Ming Di as the signal, at that time, the front and rear parts of the men and horses will kill the hill as fast as possible, dividing the entire convoy into three sections, and Wang Ping will kill the fifteen ironclad guards behind the palace at the entrance as quickly as possible, and then cover up in the ditch. People and cars can't turn around in the ditch, and Wang Ping shouldn't be hindered too much.

Compared with him, Yang Xuan's role is just the opposite, once the convoy is attacked, the reaction of the caravan guards must be to rush out of the farrier ditch as soon as possible, and then Yang Xuan will bear the biggest attack, his role is to guard the exit, and he must not let the convoy rush out. The target of this robbery is too huge, and there must be no living mouth, otherwise, Qin Forget and Dong Zhuang will not be able to block the thunderous blow of the Jin family.

Seeing that the convoy below was so huge, even if he was confident about his arrangement, Qin Forget was nervous and broke out in a cold sweat. The six hundred carts were arranged in a long row for a distance of five miles, which gave Qin Forget a great shock. Even because of the terrain of the farrier ditch, the convoy was bent like a piece of hooves and looked very thin, but those well-equipped convoy guards still gave Qin Forget a great sense of oppression.

And the other side is not so easy to get along, even if they have walked the same road many times, even if they have the powerful Jin family behind them as a backer, but they are still extremely cautious. Especially the big man in iron armor at the front, since he entered the farrier ditch, he has been scanning the mountains on both sides with sharp eyes, and the woods above are the focus of his attention. Whenever he saw something unusually lush in the woods, he would deliberately look at it several times, and only when he confirmed that there was indeed no problem, he would look away. The fifteen ironclad guards behind him were the same, constantly scrutinizing everything they suspected with a wary gaze.

Once the ironclad man looked directly at Qin Wang's hiding place, and the startled Qin Wang almost took a step back, but fortunately, he desperately controlled his knee-jerk reaction, and when the ironclad man turned his eyes, Qin Forget felt that his back was wet.

Qin forgot that this was still the case, and the village soldiers in Qinjia Village were even more unbearable. When they saw the guards wrapped in iron armor, they realized that this time was probably not good, the battle was not as easy as they imagined, so they were all extremely nervous, and some of them were about to be unable to bear such pressure. If it weren't for the strict military training of the village soldiers in Qinjia Village, these village soldiers who had never been on the battlefield would have panicked a long time ago.

Qin Forget also guessed that there would be such a situation, and he ordered everyone in advance to have a branch in their mouths, and the ends of the branch were tied behind their heads with ropes to prevent them

Make a sound. In addition, Aunt Duan, director of the Military Discipline Department of Qinjia Village, led a supervision team composed of fifty veterans behind them, and those who made any noise were beheaded, and those who disturbed were beheaded. Under such high pressure, the village soldiers of Qinjia Village could only stare at the convoy below with their eyes wide open, enduring the fatigue and depression brought by their long-term physical immobility. They just hope that the convoy can get into the trap as quickly as possible, and it is better to fight than to wait like this.

The problem that Qin forgot to notice, and Dong Zhuang on the opposite side also noticed it.

Looking at the convoy below, Dong Zhuang's face was as solemn as a piece of marble, and his ideas were even more piercing than he imagined. Not to mention their high degree of vigilance, Dong Zhuang, who was born in the army, quickly saw that many of these guards were born in the army. It may be from the Chu ** team, or it may be from the Yan State or the Qi State or the Jin State, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that they are from the army. Dong Zhuang, who has spent most of his life in the army and led county soldiers, understands the gap very well. A soldier who has been on the battlefield, their personal bravery may not be worth mentioning, but if a few people cooperate with each other, it is not something that a few, a dozen or a dozen government officials and county soldiers who maintain law and order can shake.

The first thing he noticed with his sharp eyes was those iron-clad guards, especially the big man in mountain armor. Shanwen armor, even if Dong Zhuang mixed up in the position of another general in the army, he did not have such armor. This kind of armor is not a top-level armor, but the protection ability of bows and arrows or knives and guns is very good, Dong Zhuang has seen those fierce generals in the army wear such armor more than once, even if they are shot into a hornet's nest, they still shout with feather arrows all over their bodies. He also personally faced the enemy's generals wearing such armor, and he couldn't simply end up with the enemy with one or two swords, and the difference between this sword and two swords was often between life and death.

There are also the thirty guards wearing simple step armor, although they are simple, but they seem to be forty pounds, and their bodies are tightly wrapped, what can they do to fight against such an enemy? Not to mention the three hundred ordinary guards in cotton armor, many of whom must have been veterans as well, as can be seen from the way they walked.

Dong Zhuang suddenly regretted a little, he felt that he should not work with Qin Yu to ambush this caravan, this was a difficult bone to gnaw. Although there are as many as 2,000 people on his side, there are only 900 people who can fight, three to one, considering the other party's equipment and background, Dong Zhuang does not think that there is a certainty of victory, on the contrary, it is very likely that stealing chickens will not be a handful of rice.

He also faintly felt that he had been deceived by Qin Wang, he took four hundred people out of the city, although he claimed to be out to suppress bandits, but it happened that something happened to the Jin family's caravan at this time, would anyone immediately suspect him? Dong Zhuang is a little uncertain. But Qinjia Village is fine, and others will not suspect that Qinjia Village, which is difficult to protect itself, will rob the caravan of the world's first wealthy merchant's house.

Why would he do it? Dong Zhuang was a little puzzled in his heart.

In the past, he had a bad relationship with Qin Wang, although he had a little misunderstanding recently, but it was definitely not to the point where Qin Wang calculated himself. Yes, it was he who wanted to move the Jin family's caravan, but the strength of his Qinjia Village was really limited, so he dragged himself into the water.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuang was angry and annoyed, angry that Qin Forget would use his trust to calculate it like this

Thinking about him, he was annoyed that he was really stupid, and he believed his words so easily, and he was really not thoughtful enough.

In fact, it is also due to his character, Dong Zhuang is tough and upright, but he lacks resourcefulness, and he is really unable to do these things, which is why Huang Ling and then Yin Xian can easily suppress him.

Dong Zhuang looked at the brothers around him, they were all yellow and thin, and their eyes were full of greed when they looked at the caravan below, at this time, in their eyes, it was not the convoy and the guards at the bottom, but countless grains.

There was no way out, Dong Zhuang quickly recognized the reality, whether it was calculated by Qin Forget or not, Dong Zhuang and all the county soldiers had no way out. If you don't do this, everyone will either starve to death, or you will have to fall into the grass. In this world, good people are not allowed to live.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuang no longer had any other thoughts, and there was no way to go, so he could only take risks. Besides, now that the arrow is ready to fly, it has to be sent.

"My lord, I didn't expect you to put on such a good show with Village Chief Qin, if you hadn't told us yesterday, I would have thought you and Village Chief Qin had met with the sword soldiers." The atmosphere was too depressing, and Luo Gang leaned over to Dong Zhuang and whispered to ease the tension.

"That's me and my brother。。。。。。 Village Chief Qin has discussed, if the two of us don't break up, it will easily arouse the suspicion of others. Look at the Jin family caravan below, except for the two of us joining forces, who can handle it? Dong Zhuang also explained in a low voice.

"It turns out that because of this, this Qin Village Chief is really resourceful, so that neither of us will have to be suspected. But Village Chief Qin was so ruthless that he kicked my foot and almost broke my intestines. There is also Wang Ping, who said that he was almost vomited blood after being hit by an elbow from the village chief of Qin. Luo Gang rubbed his stomach and pretended to complain.

"What do you mean? Isn't it good to blame others for learning your own art? Look at the skills of others, it only took two moves, and the tanuki rushed out of the encirclement of five or six of you, and I looked back and saw that I didn't clean you up well. Dong Zhuang glared at Luo Gang and reprimanded.

Luo Gang laughed a few times, "My lord, this time it's really fucking refreshing, we should have done this a long time ago after so many years, why do they have rich people to eat and drink spicy food, so we have to starve to death?" My lord, don't be aggrieved for us in the future, after so many years of suffocation, haven't you fallen to the point where you almost starved to death now? In the future, our brothers will puff up their chests and be upright, and they don't have to be afraid of any of them. Rather than living so aggrieved, it is better to die happily. ”

"That's what the brothers think? Is there any morale problem because of this robbery? Dong Zhuang raised his eyebrows and asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Don't worry, sir, the morale of the brothers is high. You just look at the look in their eyes. Luo Gang pouted to the side.

Dong Zhuang looked at the county soldiers next to him, only to see them staring at the convoy below with green eyes, eager to pounce on it immediately, not only did their morale have no problem, but they were extremely high.

Qin Forget didn't intend to give them much time to talk, just when the front of the Jin family's caravan was about to walk out of the farrier ditch, and everyone was most relaxed, Qin Forget decisively pulled the phantom moon, and as soon as the bowstring was loosened, a weighted feather arrow roared out.
