Chapter 16 Ambush

Liu Yong found that Zhong Zhao was really following him inch by inch, and he was excited for a while, and now he is also a bodyguard. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info just saw the dusty face and a black line, and such a bodyguard was also disgraced.

"Zhong Zhao, you can go and freshen up and eat something first, and then bring back the weapon you are good at, and come back after resting. My guards are not here to suffer. ”

"Hey, hey." Zhong Zhao also explained his image for a while, and he smirked embarrassedly twice and hurried away.

"Big boss, if you let a soldier be a personal guard, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, in case he is not good for you, the consequences will be unimaginable. There are many good brothers on the mountain, and they are better than this person if they pick a few at random. Liu Yong saw that it was Zhou Cangji who hurriedly chased after him.

"Haha...... don't worry, if I'm not sure, I won't use him, I won't joke with my life." Liu Yong waved his hand back to his small courtyard.

Two days flew by. In two days, all the Guanjiazhuang moved into Woniu Mountain, and even Xiaolian was sent to the mountain. And Liu Yong's subordinates are basically stationed in Guanjiazhuang, and everything is going well. Zhong Zhao put on his original armor and guarded Liu Yong's small courtyard like a door god, and only the people selected by Zhou Cang were replaced by him for most of the day during the day. Liu Yong was very pleased. He once asked Zhou Cang to try, and this guy was able to walk with Zhou Cang for more than ten times, and he really picked up a treasure.

On the third day, suddenly the spies came to report that Cai Mao in Jingzhou sent a song of infantry to meet Cai Shang because Cai Shang was gone, about two hundred, and two days later he could go to Guanjiazhuang, and a cronie under Cai Mao served as a military marquis.

"Zhou Cang, how do you think this battle should be fought?" Liu Yongwen,

"Although it is the elite of Jingzhou, after all, there are only more than 200 people, and our side has the advantage in numbers, so we will definitely win. A certain family led troops to a bloody battle and was sure to win. ”

Liu Yong shook his head when he heard this, and said, "If you play like this, I will be destroyed sooner or later." We are still bandits in bloody battles, the name is not right, and it is difficult to recruit soldiers, but the officers and soldiers are different, they can send a large army, and the recruitment is very fast, and there is no shortage of food, grass, ordnance, etc., I can't wait. Besides, I waited for this little bit of manpower, and many people were reduced in the first battle, how many battles can I withstand with this style of play? ”

"This ......" Zhou Cang was also scared when he heard it, "What does the big boss think?" ”

"I can't afford to wait, so I can only use the way of playing with people who minimize losses, so as to hit more and less, and surprise them." Liu Yong said, "In this battle, we can only ambush first, and when the officers and soldiers are in chaos, we can send troops to destroy them, and we can't fight hard." ”

"This army is a subordinate of Cai Mao, from Nanyang, you have been here for a long time, you should know the geographical advantages, can there be a suitable place for ambush along the way?"

Zhou Cang frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly a row of cases, and said: "There is a place that is most suitable, not far from here, called Monkey Ridge, so the mountains are steep, the people are rare, the mountains are full of grass and trees, from Nanyang, here is the only way, and it will be successful to set up an ambush here." It only takes half a day to get there. ”

Liu Yong was ecstatic, smashed his fist on the desk, and said, "Okay, take me to check it out, and set off immediately." ”

With Zhong Zhao and a few others, the fast horse galloped towards Monkey Ridge. Since the last time he rode a horse, Liu Yong quickly asked people to prepare cushions for the horses, woven with soft grass, simple and fast, much more comfortable to ride on the horse, and also equipped with iron stirrups, which can show the stronger strength of the rider on the battlefield, which is very admirable to his subordinates.

Monkey Ridge, the grass and trees are flourishing everywhere, the trees cover the sky, insects and beasts are infested, and people are inaccessible. There is an official road in the mountains, which winds along the mountain, and the high mountain walls on both sides stand and are difficult to climb.

Several people rode up, and Liu Yong was also stunned by this scene, this natural scenery was rare after 1800, and now it is suitable for ambushing officials and soldiers. Liu Yong finally chose a place just past the shade of the forest to ambush, and when the official army came out of the shade, it should also be the moment when the guard was the most relaxed, and the surprise attack had the best effect. There are uneven mountain beams on both sides here, and the barren grass is half a person high, which is suitable for hiding, and the height is more than ten zhang, which should be easy to win.

Back at Guanjiazhuang, Liu Yong thought about it again and again, and did not miss it, so he immediately sent men and horses to ambush. In addition, just in case, I sent someone to ask the ancient city Zhang Fei for help, so far I can be relieved.

The next day, the third watch made food, and the fourth watch sent troops, just at dawn to enter the ambush site selected by Monkey Ridge, and it was strictly forbidden to make a sound. This battle is related to the life and death of the cottage, if there is a mistake, once the army comes, it will be difficult to resist.

Liu Yong and Zhou Cang each led 800 people to ambush and the barren grass on the mountain beams on both sides of the official road, and transferred Pei Yuanshao to lead another 500 people in the dense woods, so as to cut off the retreat of the soldiers. Everything is ready, just wait for the enemy to fight.

"Report to the big boss, five miles ahead, I found officers and soldiers, about 200 of whom were infantry." A spy came to report.

"Okay, let's go and hide it, don't make the slightest noise, and those who violate the order will be killed." Liu Yong ordered.

About a stick of incense, there was a sound of footsteps on the official road.

"Give Lao Tzu a spiritual point, the forest here is dense, there are bandits infested, be careful, and you can rest half a stick of incense after the dense forest." A soldier on horseback shouted.

"Pass the order, wait for me to do it." Liu Yong whispered to the left and right, and signaled to Zhou Cang on the opposite side.

When the officers and men came out of the dense forest, they all relaxed at once, put down their weapons and sat on the ground to prepare for rest. Just below the ambush.

"Shoot the arrows!"

I only heard the sound of "whoosh" feather arrows breaking through the air, and the rain of arrows fell from the sky.

Hearing the voice, the officers and men were instantly stunned, and some of them couldn't react.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy ......" an officer and soldier came back to his senses and shouted, but before he could finish shouting, a life-threatening arrow had already pierced his chest, and the armor on his body could not stop him in the slightest. The shouting stopped abruptly.

More people were shot into hedgehogs before they could pick up the weapons around them, and a large area fell on the ground in an instant. The blood left a red trail on the ground, reflecting the rising sun.

"Alert, alert!" The marquis who led the army was also panicked, he never thought that someone would not set up an ambush in the dense forest, but would make a move here. His subordinates were already in disarray, and he swung his sword to block the few feathered arrows that were fired at him, and before he could shout, another feathered arrow flew towards him. Although he tried his best to block it, he was shot in the left arm. Hiding behind a dead officer and soldier, he found that the more than 200 people under his command had died in just a few breaths, and only fifty or sixty people were still in combat strength, and there was a groan everywhere.

"Withdraw your troops!" Although the military marquis was very annoyed in his heart, he also knew that he had been ambushed and it was difficult to make meritorious contributions, so he quickly withdrew his troops.

Liu Yongzheng looked at all this coldly, and when he saw that the military marquis was about to withdraw his troops, he could order: "Brothers, kill the enemy with me!" ”

Liu Yong rushed down the mountain beam, and Zhou Cang on the opposite side was faster. He was the first to rush towards the marquis. Although Liu Yong was running, he couldn't outrun these subordinates who were shuttling in the mountains all day long, and he was immediately left behind, and only Zhong Zhao followed him step by step.

"Alas, it seems that I really have to exercise my body, even these people can't run, if they encounter a matter of escaping, they won't die." sighed with emotion and quickly caught up.
