Chapter 294: Ambush
The rolling mountains and rivers, the snow-white, dark and green interlaced tree trunk leaves, make the whole vast land present an indescribable beauty.
"Childe, after crossing this mountain road, we will reach the official road to the capital." Wen Ruofei followed Xu Muchuan's side closely and introduced Xu Muchuan.
At the beginning, Ran Hong led 500 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army to protect Xu Muchuan, but now there are only more than 300 people left. Along the way, he was assassinated and robbed many times. Despite how brave the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were, there were casualties.
However, after so much baptism of blood, the cohesion and combat effectiveness of these more than 300 people have risen to a higher level than before. Pull out a soldier at will, maybe you can block five with one.
"My lord, we are in such a hurry, could it be that something has happened?" Ran Hong's ears were frozen in fiery red, and any casual exhalation would instantly turn into white mist.
Xu Muchuan gasped for breath, glanced at the mountain road in front of him with no end in sight, and said: "The people from the Shu Kingdom are not good, if it is really as I thought, then my Beiyuan Kingdom will suffer." ”
"This ......" Wen Ruofei and Ran Hong and the others all gasped, glanced at each other secretly, and kept thinking about what Xu Muchuan said.
"Childe, what do you mean?" Fu Hengsheng hesitated for a while, and said the question that Wen Ruofei and Ran Hong and the others were thinking about.
"Shu needs an excuse, an excuse that is enough for them to attack the whole country." Xu Muchuan didn't point it out, but secretly guessed again in his heart.
Seeing that Xu Muchuan was reluctant to say anything, Wen Ruofei and the others were very interested and didn't ask, but the face that was red from the cold became more and more solemn.
The mountain trail was not easy to walk, and everyone went on foot, abandoning the carriage and pulling the war horse slowly.
The heavy steps of Xu Muchuan and his party left deep traces on the snow-white ground, and there was more mud and dust on the originally snow-white and flawless ground.
Looking at the rows of trees green and mixed with snowflakes, Xu Muchuan was not in the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery.
As Xu Muchuan and the others moved farther and farther, as they were about to reach the top of the mountain, Wen Ruofei and Ran Hong and the others all subconsciously glanced at the surrounding environment.
"Don't you think it's quiet here?" Ran Hong squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the white mountain scenery, and said in a deep voice with a slight frown.
"Indeed, the silence is too much." Wen Ruofei and Fu Hengsheng both nodded one after another, and the solemnity in their eyes deepened more and more.
After Xu Muchuan heard this, he stopped his pace, turned his head to Wen Ruofei and the others and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Childe, I suggest, let's go back the same way and take a detour!" Wen Ruofei glanced around with an extremely solemn face, and said seriously.
"The last general agrees with General Wen's suggestion, this mountain is too quiet, and the last general always feels that something is wrong." Ran Hong looked at Xu Muchuan with a solemn expression.
Fu Hengsheng also looked at Xu Muchuan deeply and nodded.
If it weren't for them, it was just one person who said this, Xu Muchuan wouldn't have paid attention to it. However, Wen Ruofei and Ran Hong and the other three all thought that something was wrong with this mountain, and Xu Muchuan couldn't ignore it.
Xu Muchuan looked at the snow white in front of him, looked back at the somewhat tired soldiers, gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Pass the order and go back the same way." ”
So, Xu Muchuan and others mobilized the soldiers and turned their heads down the mountain.
However, before Xu Muchuan and the others could turn around and walk a few steps. There was a commotion and the sound of footsteps all around the mountain.
Although the sound of the commotion was not very strong, Xu Muchuan could hear it clearly.
"Not good, there is an ambush!" Even Xu Muchuan heard a sound, and Wen Ruofei and the others, who were top masters, were of course more sensitive, and he immediately exclaimed, "Childe, let's go down the mountain quickly." ”
Wen Ruofei disregarded the image etiquette, and immediately took Xu Muchuan's arm and ran down the mountain, while Fu Hengsheng followed closely behind Xu Muchuan, paying attention to all the movements around him.
"The whole army listens to the order and is ready to meet the battle at any time! Keep adults safe! Ran Hong raised his arms and shouted.
More than 300 soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army suddenly waved away the previous fatigue and turned into a menacing appearance.
Wen Ruofei took Xu Muchuan's arm and quickly ran down the mountain for a distance, but not far away, Wen Ruofei saw one black shadow after another appearing under the mountain: "It's a shame, Childe, our back road has been blocked." ”
"Hmm." Xu Muchuan gritted his teeth tightly, seeing that the black spots under the mountain were getting bigger and bigger, and the heavy color in his heart was expanding more and more.
Fu Hengsheng and Wen Ruofei knew that there was no way out at this moment, so the two immediately surrounded Xu Muchuan and waited for the appearance of the enemy intently.
"Protect your lordship!" As soon as Ran Hong gave the order, more than 300 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army surrounded Xu Muchuan in the center.
For a moment, all of them held their breath and raised their spirit to an extreme.
After a while, one figure after another appeared around the mountains and rivers.
Looking at the black figure in front of him, at least there were more than six or seven hundred people, Ran Hong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, but he quickly calmed down.
"Kill!"
Figures from all directions covered the snow-white mountains, and the shouts of killing from all directions shook the heavens and the earth.
The blade in his hand moved, the cold light flashed, Ran Hong glared and shouted: "Set up a triple formation, the inner formation protects the safety of the adults, and the outer formation and the middle formation follow me to kill the enemy!" ”
"Kill!" Even in the face of far more of their own troops, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were not afraid to rush over with spears and blades.
The two sides did not talk or make too many movements, so they fought together.
In the blink of an eye, the blood red appeared, and the snow white on the ground was dyed blood red, and the snowflakes on the ground were melted by the hot blood.
Corpses are everywhere, swords and swords flicker, and the shouts of killing are incessant.
Xu Muchuan and the others didn't know who the enemy was, how many of them were, and who sent them. However, in this way, the two sides have already fought inextricably, and blood stained the entire white mountains and rivers.
The enemy seems to be a carefully selected team, and when facing such elite soldiers as the Royal Forest Army, they are not at a disadvantage, but have an absolute upper hand.
You must know that the soldiers of these three hundred Royal Forest Army are all first-class elite soldiers, and they can pull out a person at random who is a good hand on the battlefield.
However, even so, the enemy had the absolute upper hand, which surprised Xu Muchuan, who was heavily protected.
"It's bold to dare to ambush here!"
Ran Hong rushed to the front, and roared loudly in anger, shaking everyone's ears.
