In a hill more than ten miles away from Qianxian, thousands of soldiers are holding their breath and ambushing on both sides, Qianxian is in the middle of the capital and Renshou Palace, and the official road through the middle of this hill is the only way to go to Renshou Palace.

This time, the troops were brought together, Daxing Temple and more than a dozen families of people, of course there is no unified command, Yang Guang is not there, they can only elect a temporary leader, these families who sent troops, many people are just sending cronies, the head of the family did not come in person, and the people who are qualified to compete for the position of commander are Huangfu Xiaohuan, Zhao Shizhu, Murong Qi Li, Zhixuan and several others, and Yuwenshu, Yuwenmi, Lu Kai, Guo Yan and others are unable to come because their goals are too big.

If it is about age or qualifications, of course, these people are led by Elder Zhixuan and Old Lady Murong of Daxing Temple, but after all, they can't rely on age or qualifications to fight, and in the end, the command of the soldiers and horses is still handed over to the general Huangfu Xiaohuan.

Although the Huangfu filial piety is inferior, but follow the general Wang Shiji to fight for many years, rich experience, the art of war strategy can be regarded as the middle and upper choice, at a glance in this hill, naturally has his benefits, this hill is sparsely wooded, uneven, stretching for dozens of miles, the official road in the middle is bent and bent, there is a natural limit for the cavalry, and it is absolutely conducive to the ambush of the large number of people.

Many of these family soldiers are attached to various families for several generations or even more than ten generations, for them, the order of the head of the family is the greatest, if the head of the family is unlucky, they will also follow the bad luck, and the change of dynasty has no effect on them, so although it is against the crown prince of the dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be a little uneasy in his heart, but no one does not obey the orders of the head of the family.

Since the Jin Dynasty crossed to the east, the war in the north has lasted for hundreds of years, among which the peaceful days are only a handful, and the powerful families have built docks to protect themselves, although many large families are still perished when the dynasty changes, but all the powerful families know that the soldiers in their hands are their most important guarantee after all, speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is stronger than the general army.

But. A family soldier is a family soldier, not a regular army after all, and the people of each family do not belong to each other. So many people and horses gathered together, the friction and chaos in the ground can be imagined, these soldiers are out of the city one after another, the long time has been waiting for more than a day, the short one has only waited for less than half a day, the mountain can not make a fire, can only gnaw dry food, some of the soldiers are so angry that they can't help but curse in their mouths. Many of the horses that had been kneeling on the ground were shaking their heads, and if it weren't for the horses' mouths being covered, they would definitely neigh.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the weather is getting cooler, especially in the mountains. The pedestrians on the official road have been in an endless stream, and the sound of the soldiers in ambush floating to the official road, causing some people to look up and look around, and only leave with a puzzled face when they can't see the figure.

Murong Qi Li couldn't help frowning, and said to Huangfu Xiao: "General, it can't go on like this, everyone must be quiet, otherwise it will be discovered." Our ambush was in vain. ”

Huangfu Xiaoxiao's face was longer than that of Murong Qili, if his subordinates dared to make noise, they would immediately enforce military law, but the private soldiers of more than a dozen families converged together. Although he has been ordered repeatedly, it will still not be long before someone disrespects the order, but it is a pity that it is impossible for him to mobilize his 4,000 forbidden troops to come out and ambush him, otherwise what would he want these rabble to do.

Huangfu Xiaohuan could only look at the people who led the troops from each family and pleaded: "Everyone. Please restrain some of your own soldiers. If we fail this time, you and I will die without a place to bury. ”

For the request of the emperor's filial piety. Everyone naturally knew that it was serious, and one by one they turned around with a blue face, and the humming sound suddenly disappeared, and the entire hill became quiet again.

According to the speed of the cavalry, the prince should have arrived more than an hour after leaving Beijing, but now it has been almost two hours, and the prince still has not appeared when he sees the sun setting little by little.

"Why haven't you come yet?" The chubby Zhao Shizhu was very impatient to wait, and couldn't help complaining.

Although everyone was in a hurry, no one wanted to accept this Zhao Shizhu's words, after all, no one had a good impression of a person who seduced his brother-in-law's concubine and finally sued his brother-in-law for rebellion, and some people even thought maliciously, I really don't know how to seduce Yu Qingze's concubine with his body shape.

Zhao Shizhu knew that he had killed Yu Qingze, and he would definitely be disgusted by the prince, and he had been actively promoting the support of King Jin to ascend to the throne, and this time he brought six hundred soldiers, second only to Murong Mansion.

Zhixuan made a shout of the Buddha, breaking Zhao Shizhu's embarrassment: "Lord Zhuguo is a little quiet, the prince has left Beijing, and there is no doubt that he will arrive soon." ”

As soon as Ji Hyun's words fell, a cloud of smoke and dust rose on the official road, and a fast horse galloped from a distance, and several sharp-eyed people immediately recognized that it was they themselves who sent out to scout the horse.

"Everyone, pay attention, the crown prince may appear soon, ready to fight." Huangfu Xiaoxiao commanded.

Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, and Murong Qi Li even rattled his teeth, eager to bite the prince to death immediately.

The scout quickly turned into the hills on the official road and came to everyone: "Report, general, the prince's army is less than five miles from here. ”

"Okay, it's hard work, let's go down and get the reward." Huangfu filial piety swept away the fatigue, and the spirit was shocked.

"Yes, General Xie!" Tanma went down to receive the reward, and the emperor's filial order was also handed down, and the soldiers who seemed to be messy and scattered just now suddenly became nervous, holding their hands on their weapons, and the general murderous aura rose as if the substance, and the cicadas around seemed to feel it, and the hilly area became extremely quiet.

Five miles of road, the cavalry did not even have a tea time, however, this tea time seemed to be extraordinarily long for thousands of people who were ambushed, the sun was about to set in the distance, if the battle could not be ended in half an hour, then the battle would have to be delayed until the evening, for them, the night battle was the most troublesome thing, although there were many people, but what if the prince escaped accidentally.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a cloud of smoke and dust was raised, and the sound of hooves rumbled, and four East Palace guards wearing black armor appeared first on the official road, followed by eight people, and twelve people...... Although it is only a few hundred, it seems to be like a thousand troops, and with this momentum, it can be regarded as elite.

All the people in ambush didn't even dare to come out, for fear of alarming the cavalry on the official road, and looked at the detour ahead. The horsemen's horses slowed down markedly, and gradually stopped.

"What's going on, didn't you find out. Why stop? Everyone's hearts couldn't help but raise a question.

"Don't worry, the prince has traveled back and forth to the East Palace many times, the terrain here is very clear to the East Palace guards, and it is very suitable for ambushes, but they don't have time to search at all, and they may have to make a gesture when they stop, if they don't pass here, they can only return to Qianxian County to rest." Huangfu Xiaohuan explained.

Sure enough, the guards in front of them just glanced around cursoryly. He didn't feel anything wrong, and immediately waved his hand back, and everyone restarted their horses and walked towards the ambush circle.

Murong Qi Li showed his toothless mouth, and laughed twice before saying, "General Huangfu is really true. Even these guards can guess their thoughts. ”

"The old lady praised it falsely, in fact, it is nothing, how could the prince expect that someone would be so bold and dare to ambush here, plus the time is pressing, naturally he will not investigate in detail, but the prince should have arrived an hour ago, why was he delayed on the road for an hour." Huangfu Xiaohuan couldn't help but ask.

"It doesn't matter why he's delayed for an hour. As long as he comes, he can't leave, and see if the prince is in the middle is the right thing? Zhao Shizhu said disapprerovingly.

Zhao Shizhu's words this time were agreed by several people, and Zhixuan and Murong Qi Li both looked at the official road with their eyes open, and more than a hundred East Palace guards had already appeared on the official road. It's just that these people are still a certain distance, and everyone is dressed the same, so it's really difficult to tell whether there is a prince or not from so many people.

"General Huangfu, give the order to attack, this official has already seen the prince." Zhao Shizhu said proudly.

Huangfu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. But he didn't find the prince. Hurriedly asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

"General, the big man leading the horse in the middle must be the Iron Staff. In addition to the crown prince, who else will lead the horse with the wheat iron rod. ”

Mai Tiecane is tall, never riding a horse but running faster than a horse, it has long been a well-known thing, Huangfu Xiaohuan looked at Zhao Shizhu in the direction of the ground, sure enough, a big man was sandwiched in the middle, holding the reins in his hand, looking at his posture, it was the East Palace Guards Commander Mai Tiecane, Mai Tiecane is there, and the person on the horse must be the prince.

Huangfu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Wait a minute, wait until they come in completely." Murong Qi Li stared at the prince in the middle, eager to rush down immediately and cut off the prince's head to pay tribute to his son, listening to the emperor's filial words, he could barely suppress his anger, but there was a snorting sound in his nose.

"Amitabha, good! Wonderful! In order to keep the Buddha gate clean and not destroyed, the prince, Lao Na has to give you a ride today. Jihyun bowed his head and said.

"What's going on, why aren't they leaving?" Murong Qi Li said disappointedly.

Sure enough, the cavalry on the official road stopped advancing again, and pointed at the hills on both sides.

"It's not good, it may be discovered, General Huangfu, give the order to attack." Zhao Shizhu urged.

Huangfu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows were furrowed, seeing that the sun was about to go down, the prince didn't hurry up and hurry, wasn't he afraid that the emperor would be angry and would delay on the road for a day? He really wanted to send out the order, but the position of the prince's guard on the official road was too uncomfortable at the moment, and only half of the people who stepped into the ambush circle were allowed to turn around in time and rush out of the ambush circle, then it would be a big trouble, after all, it was only a hundred miles away from the capital.

"General, if you don't give an order, Murong Mansion will act alone, and my Murong Mansion has eight hundred dead soldiers, and it is more than enough to annihilate more than two hundred people below."

"Old Madam Murong, don't be impulsive, wait."

"Wait, can't wait, they're going to turn around." Zhao Shizhu shouted.

Everyone looked down the mountain, and sure enough, the cavalry under the mountain seemed to have realized the danger and began to turn around, seeing that the enemy who had endured for more than ten years was about to slip away from his hands, Murong Qi Li still held back patiently, and shouted: "Sons and daughters of the Murong family, our enemy is below, release arrows!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!" Hearing the old lady's order, the ghost army of the Murong family did not hesitate to bend their bows and arrows and shoot downward.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "Arrows rained down, the Donggong guards on the official road heard the bowstring sound, surprised, they did not have a shield on their bodies, they could only hurriedly turn around and flee for their lives, maybe too panicked, for a while, people roared and neighed, bumped together, chaotic, but unfortunately because the Donggong guards did not fully step into the firing range, many arrows to the official road have been weak and weak, and they were touched by weapons and were set aside, and the arrows fell on them without being pushed away by the armor, and they could only insert some unimportant parts without armor, but because the arrows had exhausted their strength, can only be regarded as a minor injury, more arrows fell into the open ground, or accidentally injured pedestrians on the official road.

"Kill!" Seeing that the bow and arrow were useless, Murong Qi Li simply dropped the bow and arrow, and ordered to attack, and the eight hundred ghost army behind her also stepped on horseback and rushed down the hill, and suddenly the entire hill was full of dust and smoke.

"Kill!" Seeing that the soldiers and horses of Murong Mansion had already set off, the other families had no choice but to order their subordinates to attack.

Seeing that the matter was irreparable, Huangfu Xiaohuan was helpless and issued an order for the whole army to attack. By the time the ghost army at the front rushed out of the hills, the guards of the East Palace had already turned around and galloped along the official road, while the ghost army of the Murong family was just chasing after them closely, and the pedestrians on the official road were dumbfounded, and some pedestrians who couldn't dodge were all ghosts, but fortunately, it was now close to dusk, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

An ambush battle turned into a pursuit battle, Huangfu Xiaohuan was greatly frustrated in his heart, and comforted that fortunately he had a large number of men and horses, and the most unfortunate thing was that the prince fled to Qianxian County, ten miles away, with 5,000 men and horses composed of each family, it would not take long for a small county town to be captured.
