Chapter 917: The black-clothed guards are ambushed
In the winter of 342 B.C., in the east of Pengcheng, the capital of the Song Kingdom, on the vast snowfield, a group of people galloped on horseback. Bayi Chinese Network ā =ā.ā8=1ā Zā
It was none other than the personal guard beside the king of the Song Kingdom, the black-clothed guard.
Today, he is not wearing black clothes, but ordinary businessmen's clothes.
Behind him, there were more than twenty people, all of whom were dressed as domestic servants. In fact! They were all his retinue and newly recruited guards.
In order to strengthen security and ensure the safety of their masters, the black-clothed guards often go to various parts of the country to select new members and join the team. After his selection was confirmed, he was brought into the palace to accept Song Quecheng's instructions and some entry procedures, and put the guard waist card and so on.
The north wind is whistling, the sky is drifting with goose feathers and heavy snow, the earth is getting whiter and whiter, and the sky in the distance looks groggy and gives people a sense of oppression.
The snow on the ground has not yet melted, and now it is snowing heavily, so everyone is in a hurry.
Usual! People say "Ruixue Mega Year". And this year, the snow is also too heavy. Heavy snowfall one after another, coupled with low temperatures, caused many disasters to the people in the north, freezing to death and starving to death of many livestock, and also brought inconvenience to the lives of the people.
"Drive! Drive! Drive! ā¦ā¦ā
The group whipped their horses' buttocks desperately as they crossed this stretch of plains. They wanted to return to the palace early and enjoy the warmth of life.
"Whew!"
Suddenly! A huge wild bird flew out of the snow in front of it, and the wild bird screamed and flapped its wings and flew into the distance!
"Everyone, be careful!"
The black-clad guard screamed as he reined in his horse.
Under his exclamation, everyone behind him seemed panicked, and one by one they restrained the horse.
The war horses didn't know what it was, and they stood upright one by one and let out a chirp!
"Shhh ā¦ā¦ā
"Whew! ā¦ā¦ā
After a moment everything was calm, and there was no sound in the snow except the howling of the north wind and the exhalation of horses.
Everyone looked around vigilantly, but there was no abnormality.
"Let's go!" Only then did the black-clothed guard wave his arm, slow down the horse, and walk slowly.
The others also clamped their legs and made the horses move.
Everyone thought to themselves: There is snow all around, there is more than a foot of snow on the flat ground, and there is more than one person deep snow in the ravines, what danger can there be? Who is so stupid and ambushed here?
Furthermore! This is the official road, and there is an official card not far away. The official cards outside the capital are guarded by officers and soldiers. Once the officers and soldiers on the official card are alarmed, it will cause big trouble. So! No one dares to ambush here.
And also! We are a group of more than ten or twenty people, all of whom are masters among masters, who is so short-sighted and dares to provoke us?
Chief! You're too timid, aren't you?
How many of them are the old guards, knowing that the leader didn't make something out of nothing, but that he might really feel something?
Since they were almost killed by Zhuangzi, the leaders of the black-clothed guards have often encountered righteous men who avenged Rong'er. Although these people are not black-clothed guards and their opponents, they can often be plotted by others, so they have to be careful.
"Boss!" One of the diehard guards stepped forward, greeted him, and rode to the front of the leader.
On this snowy day, if someone digs a trap on the road and covers it with branches, no one will be able to see it. If you put bamboo sticks or iron thorns in the trap again, you will definitely die after falling.
"There's an ambush ahead! Attention everyone! "At this time! The black-clothed guard reminded in a whisper.
And then! Quickened the horse, parallel to the die-hard guard.
"Who could it be? Chief? ā
"How do I know?"
"Won't it be revenge for Rong'er again?"
"I didn't kill her with my own hands? Why did you put the accounts on my head? Is! The black-clad guard whispered.
"I didn't expect it! Does Rong'er have such a good reputation in the Qi Congress? So many people are willing to die for her? ā
"She was taken hostage to Qi at the age of eight, and later escaped with the help of Dai Liu'er. But she didn't leave, but she hid alone in the capital of Qi and engaged in weaving bamboo to make a living. Moreover! She worked a miracle. She not only exhibited the bamboo industry, but also created a business myth. A little girl can achieve a career and make many men ashamed. Therefore! There are many people who admire her! Alas! ā
"I heard that she stayed in the Qi country to take revenge, as a result! I really avenged my revenge. ā
"It is precisely for this reason that many righteous people in the Qi Kingdom heard that she died and was killed by me, and they all came to me for revenge! Alas! The black-clad guard sighed.
The two of them continued to walk as they spoke, and before they knew it, they were in the center of the snowfield.
Not far ahead, there is a hill that is not very high, blocking the view and making it impossible to see the distance. The trees and bushes on the hill were covered with snow, like a hidden snowman.
Over here! It's the best place to fight an ambush!
"Everyone, be careful! This is where the wild birds flew just now. The black-clothed guard reined in his horse again and reminded everyone.
"Climb over this hill and you can see the houses in the capital."
"Yes!"
All the attendants agreed, and they all prepared for battle.
Everyone slowed down their horses, their eyes cautiously looking around. As soon as there is movement, prepare for battle.
When we walked to the middle of the hill, everything was still the same, there was nothing abnormal, and everyone inevitably said it in their hearts again, thinking that the boss was too worried.
That's when it happened! There was movement at the top of the hill.
One by one, the white shadows moved, and rushed down quickly!
"Everyone, be careful!" The black-clad guard shouted loudly. Before the words fell, he patted the horse's back and urged the horse to rush forward quickly.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Then! The white shadow on the hill shouted.
A team of about fifty people, standing on a high place. With a shout, more than 50 people with more than 50 bows, stretched out their bows and arrows, and shot at the men and horses who came up from below.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Under the shouting of the black-clothed guards, the group rushed to the hill quickly, waving the weapons in their hands to block the sharp arrows coming from the flying arrows.
In the face of such an arrow array, it is natural that someone was injured and fell off the horse. But! The black-clothed guards and others still rushed to the hill, broke the opponent's arrow array, and the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand.
"Kill!"
The man who was lying in ambush on the hill gave up his bow and arrow, and picked up the long stab at the galloping horse. Under the swing of Changge, the man turned on his back. The men on the horses were overturned to the ground, and the cavalry lost their advantage.
In just a few moments, the two sides fought on the snow. The snow-white snow was instantly stained red with blood.
