As soon as he saw this person, even though Yang Congyi was about to start the interrogation, he saw that Li Quan was still in a drowse sleep at this time, and there was no sign of waking up.

Seeing this, Zhang Liu stretched out his hand and pointed at Li's body, but when he saw Li Quan, he opened his eyes with an ouch.

Seeing that there were all the Great Song people around, he immediately panicked, and he was sincerely frightened, and he kept shouting for mercy.

But Yang Congyi only sneered a few times, and then asked, "Li Quan, I brought you here, you should understand what our purpose is." Let's be honest. But if the words are not true, they will throw you into the sea, and no one will know about it. I am a great song, there are countless capable people, and I can bring you from the bed to the sea unconsciously, and I can make you evaporate from the world quietly. If you do not believe, then do not open your mouth, but go to the sea and feed the fish in half an hour. ”

When Li Quan heard this, his whole body was like a sifting chaff, and he trembled. He immediately kowtowed and said, "Please spare my life, I am also motivated by profit, and I am instigated by others, if my lord spares my life, I will tell that person the truth." ”

Yang Congyi sneered: "At this time, I still want to bargain." If it is not true, even if you hide back in Hejing City and find more soldiers to protect you, I will still capture you back to the sea. It's better to recruit it truthfully! ”

Li Quan kowtowed and said, "Your Excellency spares your life." A few days ago, an order came from Thang Long City that the lower officials must find a way to keep the Celestial Empire Mission. In their letter to the lower officials, they did not have much respect for the Celestial Empire mission, and the lower officials speculated that Thang Long City might not care much about the Celestial Empire's envoys, and it was the lower officials who took matters into their own hands and sent people to besiege the mission in the city. The specific person who wrote the letter to the lower official is not particularly clear, but the letter has the imperial seal, and the lower official has to obey the order. It is believed that I will keep the mission in Ha Tinh City for three days anyway, as long as the Celestial Empire mission does not leave, the task of the lower officials will be completed, and it is estimated that they may arrive in Ha Tinh City tomorrow, and the envoy will be able to interrogate them himself. ”

Yang Congyi said: "If it's true, I'll send someone to investigate." Where is the letter from Thang Long City? ”

Li Quandao: "It's still in the Xiaguan Mansion, and the Xiaguan has been properly preserved." ”

Yang Congyi said: "Okay." Lord Li, for the sake of the past few days, you were kind to the Celestial Empire Mission, and today I will give you some freedom, and these days you stay on the warship for the time being, and you will eat whatever we eat. If you have crooked thoughts and want to make any small moves, beware of falling into the sea and sinking into the sea to feed the fish. ”

Li Quan immediately promised that he would stay on the ship honestly and not go anywhere, just wait for the envoy of the Heavenly Empire to prove that what he said was true, and then let him go back.

Li Quan's words, Yang Congyi does not fully believe it, if this matter is not presided over by Li Quan, who is the mastermind behind the scenes? Since he has letters and the Great Seal of the Imperial Court of Annam, I think this matter has nothing to do with King Annam.

Now it seems that the matter of besieging the Great Song Mission in Ha Jing City can be Li Quan's own initiative, of course, it can also be the unknown purpose of Thang Long City, and it depends on whether Li Quan can complete the errand of besieging the Great Song Mission.

Lord Dai was intact and had fled thirty miles away, and it was obvious that Li Quan had failed in besieging the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty.

Since it has failed, the black cauldron of besieging and chasing down the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty can only be carried by Li Quan, and Thang Long City will definitely have to clear up the relationship.

Judging from the whole incident, there must be a force behind Li Quan that is being manipulated by Shenglong.

It was a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty mission to send Annan, Li Quan, a magistrate, didn't have the guts, and there was no reason to suddenly turn his face on the mission that had been kind to him for more than 20 days, besides, the Great Song Dynasty mission was originally here for the envoy, so why should they be watched and forcibly stayed in Hejing City, was it because he was afraid that they would not be able to escape?

Naturally, the mission will not run unless the destination country is clearly hostile. Was Annan hostile to the Great Song Dynasty? Undoubtedly, there must be. Therefore, it should be that Annan was hostile to the Great Song Dynasty, so that Li Quan would surround the mission.

But what exactly is the siege of the Great Song Mission? He could only find out when someone from Thang Long City arrived in Ha Jing City.

Thang Long sent 3,000 troops to the direction of Ha Tinh day and night, obviously not to welcome the Great Song mission.

They first surrounded and then sent troops, and the plan was not small. If we don't figure out the real purpose of the Annan people, even if we retreat with all our bodies, this trip to Annan will be in vain, and we will waste nearly a month.

Thinking about it, if you want to figure out these problems, Xuanwei Army has to take some risks.

Yang Congyi secretly made up his mind to pay attention to this risk, and it must be taken.

The Annan army coming from the direction of Thang Long City must be taken, this is the order given by Yang Congyi to the Xuanwei army.

The two warships then headed north, and docked ten miles from the river.

More than 1,000 Xuanwei troops immediately landed ashore and quietly dived to the north.

More than an hour later, in a forest north of Ha Tinh City, the Xuanwei army lay in ambush on both sides of the road in several parts, only waiting for the Annan army coming from the direction of Thang Long to enter the ambush circle.

For this intentional and unintentional ambush war, Yang Congyi has made some specific arrangements.

Dividing the entire Xuanwei army into three parts, Yang Congyi personally led 500 people to shake the vanguard of Annam head-on and block the way of the army that came from Shenglong. Zhang Biao led 300 people to go five miles forward, chose a dangerous place, and ambushed the place where the Annan army must pass. The remaining two hundred men, within these five miles, between the front and rear armies, lurked at will with fire as a unit, and each of them carried a lot of thunderbolts and other weapons.

Just wait for dawn, observe the terrain again, and after making slight adjustments, wait for the Annan army coming from Thang Long to enter the ambush circle.

In such an ambush battle, even if the number of Annan troops was three times that of the Xuanwei army, Yang Congyi was not particularly worried. In the worst case, if the battle is not won, the Xuanwei army will have the cover of thunderbolts, and they can calmly retreat to the coast, board the ship and leave, and the Annamite people will have nothing to do with them.

The Xuanwei army has thunderbolts in their hands, but the Annan people don't have them in their hands, no matter how strict their military discipline is, if a round of thunderbolts is thrown over, the Annan army is afraid that it will also be broken, the formation will be messy, and the victory or defeat will still be two words.

As for the timing of the attack, Yang Congyi didn't think much about it, he just needed to wait for the Annan army to enter the ambush circle, and once it was in front of him, it was time to launch an attack, and the other Xuanwei troops led by Zhang Biao and others followed suit.

Once encountered, whether it is success or failure depends on the opportunity and morale of the soldiers.

The side that fights the ambush has a psychological advantage, and the more sophisticated the weapon, the more confidence it has.

The rare opportunity for the Xuanwei Army to encounter this kind of war is because the morale of the soldiers is high, and they all want to earn some military merits and earn some money. Yang Congyi said before the war that the more enemies you kill, the richer the rewards, not only to get paid to fight, but also to earn extra money, and to accumulate enough military merits to become an official, such a good thing is rare in the Great Song Dynasty.

The sergeants hid in the shadows, grinding their fists, ready to move, sorting out their armor, inspecting their weapons, and waiting for a big job.

More than an hour later, just as the sun was rising, an army came from the forest, and it was the Annam army that had arrived from Thang Long. This is much earlier than Li Quan's estimated time, if it weren't for Yang Congyi's order to take advantage of the darkness to ambush, a little later, they would have marched into Hejing City, and then the Xuanwei army would have no chance.

Zhang Biao was ambushed on the side of the jungle road, and they first spotted the army of the Annamite people. The morale of the whole army was low, and the sergeants looked exhausted.

From Thang Long to Ha Jing City, there are seven or eight hundred miles, all of which are mountain roads, and looking at this appearance, they seem to want to drive into Ha Jing City in one go.

This army was mainly on foot, but there were also many people riding on tall animals, which were as high as zhangxu, with four legs like columns, ears like sieves, noses as long as zhangxu, and two huge snow-white fangs in their mouths.

This animal is an elephant, Yang Congyi has already informed the public Xuanwei Army in advance, so that they don't have to be afraid to see it, in fact, some people in Hejing City have already seen it. The Annan army has elephants as helpers, which are usually difficult to deal with, but the Xuanwei army has firearms in their hands, and these elephants are not to be feared.

Zhang Biao signaled everyone to continue to wait patiently, they had to wait for Yang Congyi to take the lead in attacking the Annan army, and he could attack here.

Half an hour passed, and the Annan army, which was only concerned about hurrying, appeared in Yang Congyi's sight, and as soon as he saw the appearance of the Annan army, he knew that the Xuanwei army would win this battle.

The soldiers of the Xuanwei Army in ambush were a little nervous, but when they saw the prison army facing the enemy at the front, they were also relieved.

Patiently, when the Annan army approached within 100 steps, Yang Congyi quietly ordered and prepared to attack.

The speed of time seemed to slow down, as if it had been a long time before the enemy had come within twenty paces.

"Put!" Listening to Yang Congyi's order, a round of arrows flew out on both sides of the road, straight into the enemy's vanguard.

As the sun began to rise, the Annan soldiers were mentally exhausted, and suddenly they were attacked in a hazy way, and many of them fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and the entire vanguard was suddenly panicked, and those who were not hit by sharp arrows began to rummage for weapons and prepare to resist.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the enemy army had a little respite in the confusion, and was about to reassemble the army for battle, but saw Yang Congyi light a thunderbolt, his arm rounded, and threw it towards the place where the enemy army gathered.

I saw the thunderbolt sparkling, spinning in the air, cutting a perfect arc, and falling towards the middle of the enemy army.

As soon as it landed, before the enemy could see what was falling, the thunderbolt boomed, exploding between the enemy troops, a huge sound, deafening, the sound shook several miles away, the rising fire instantly burned the enemy soldiers next to them, and the scattered shrapnel scattered in all directions, straight into the enemy's thin linen clothes, pierced into their bodies.

All of a sudden, screams erupted in the jungle.
