Chapter 131: Ambush

Lin Ji ordered all the horses in the camp to be replaced, whether they were war horses or not, even the horses used for transportation were unloaded and put on saddles. Time is urgent, and one minute faster will be the lives of dozens of soldiers.

Hurry up, Lin Ji prayed in his heart that he must hold on, relying on the advantage of his own numbers, as long as he stalemate with the enemy and not cause too many casualties.

"My lord, huh...... What the hell is going on, sir? "The soldiers in the south are not good at riding horses, and they are not used to swaying from side to side on horseback, and they don't know why Lin Ji behaved in such a hurry. And Lin Ji let them ride on the horses just to hurry up, and they still had to dismount and fight when they arrived.

"Several commanders are greedy for merit, and they may have been ambushed." Lin Ji explained that he had long been accustomed to talking on horseback, and his tone was very steady.

"Huh? Yes! It's okay, it's okay. When the herald heard this, he was careless and almost fell off his horse.

"How could it be ......," the herald asked, the news too untrue for him.

Lin Ji smiled bitterly, he felt that it shouldn't be, but this was already a fait accompli and would not change. All he can do is to bring people over as soon as possible, and decide whether to withdraw or fight according to the battle situation.

Lin Ji also had an optimistic guess, the number of rebels is not large, and their abnormal combat method may also be a desperate fight, as long as a few commanders on the front line involve the enemy's army, then the less than 3,000 soldiers and horses he brought will become the straw that lays the victory.

Of course, there are also rebels who are vulnerable, and this action that shocked Lin Ji was just to come and deliver meat, and several commanders have successfully repelled the main force of the rebels, and it is not impossible that they are already picking up loot.

But the odds are too small and too small.

Lin Ji shook his head and shook off these self-consoling thoughts, the rebels' actions this time were not only swift and orderly, but the location they chose was also the Silver Water Beach, which was easy to ignore. These alone were enough to give Lin Ji too many bad premonitions, not to mention that the rebels used the lives of thousands of people as bait in order to lure the snake out of the hole. This kind of behavior cannot be stupid.

Lin Ji felt that the rebels must have their own strengths, and this was enough to subvert the current situation. Lin Ji understood that no matter what happened, he had to rush to the battlefield, and the sooner the better.

For the other man, the most stressful thing for him was that he didn't know what the rebels relied on, and it was incredible that the empire was at a disadvantage in terms of information.

The garrison of the wild boar forest rushed to the same place in two batches, Yinshuitan, and the two places were not far apart, so the commanders of Qian and Shang hesitated, but they did not fall too far behind with the command of Wang.

"Why isn't there a sound up front?" Seeing that I had passed through the mountains and forests in front of me, it was the boundary of the Silver Water Beach. It was an open field without trees, and the fleeing rebels had nowhere to hide, and it was supposed that there would be a fight.

Commander Qian is still notoriously cautious in this, and he can't hide his perception at all.

"Could it be that Lao Wang has already dealt with it all?" Commander Shang didn't think much about it, the only thing he was worried about was that Commander Wang was acting too quickly, and by the time he arrived, he had already dealt with those rebels.

"No, we're going to keep up!" Commander Shang said that he directly ordered the troops to move forward quickly.

The low woodland shaded the moonlight, and the Imperial troops navigating the woods lit their way only with torches in hand. Eventually, the shadows of the trees were decreasing, the light was more abundant, and the scene became more open.

All the soldiers were moving fast as they came out of the woods and into Silverwater. This time, Commander Qian finally heard the sound of a fight, and at the same time, he also saw a fire flickering not far away.

"Haha, it's time to arrive, we're not late!" Commander Shang laughed. With a wave of his hand, he signaled his subordinates to hurry up and follow, but he couldn't let Commander Wang eat alone.

Although Commander Qian was worried, he still led the team to keep up, he had already arrived here, what was the use of worrying so much. It was imperative to follow Shang and join the forces commanded by Wang, and as long as the troops of the three commanders were there, they would not be afraid of anything.

Commander Qian was timid, and this 20,000-strong army was naturally commanded by Shang as the vanguard, and he led the team to rush to the sparse firelight.

The sound of the fight gradually decreased, and the sound of cries and begs for mercy became thinner and thinner, except for the fire in the darkness in the distance. Commander Shang snorted, in the end, the birds that got up early had worms, and the commander who set off early had merit, and Commander Wang still robbed the big head.

Knowing that he hadn't slept for most of the night and had traveled so much, but he couldn't get any benefits, Commander Shang became angry, and those voices crying and begging for mercy turned into enjoyment to him. He vented his frustration through these voices, and deserved to let those people be rebels!

It didn't take long for the firelight over there to start moving towards them, and Commander Shang simply didn't leave, the battlefield was almost cleared, and he planned to directly assign military merits to Commander Wang.

The army also stopped as a rest, but it didn't take long for the sense of wrongness in Commander Qian's heart to become more and more obvious.

The light of the fire rushed towards them at a rapid pace, which made Commander Qian feel too weird, and at the same time, he seemed to feel the shaking of the ground......

"Quick! All up, all stand up! Commander Qian hurriedly shouted, and when the army stopped, many soldiers sat directly on the ground to rest.

The shaking of the ground became more and more obvious, and at this time, not only Commander Qian sensed that something was wrong, but Commander Shang and most of the soldiers also sensed it. They tightened their grip on their weapons, and the nerves they had laid down before tightened again.

Finally, they saw the fires clearly, and it was the king who was in charge.

It's just that the current commander Wang is not the same as they believe, full of military achievements and proud of the spring breeze, but like a lost dog, his face is full of fear.

"Run! Run! Before the two of them could ask the doubts in their hearts, Commander Wang yelled at them.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? What about your people? Commander Shang stopped Commander Wang, who was still trying to run back, and then he looked behind him curiously and asked.

When he set out, he brought a full 10,000 men, but now behind the king's command, there were less than 100 people. Commander Wang's face was distorted, and the look of fear lingered on his face for a long time.

"Ambush! We've been ambushed! Run! Run! ”
