Chapter 22: An Ambush Halfway
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and after returning from Hua Rong, Li Jing personally took care of the black horses in addition to supervising the soldiers' training every day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In less than two days, the black horse was already willing to let Li Jing pet it. During this period, Duan Jingzhu came again and told Li Jing that Wu Qi was now very close to Li Jing, and if he continued like this, he would be able to ride with confidence in less than a month.
Li Jing was even more distressed when he heard this, this Wu Qi is also arrogant, except for Li Jing, he also cares about the groom who takes care of it, and everyone else doesn't touch it. Li Rui didn't believe in evil, so he had to go up, but he was kicked far away by Wu Qi, but fortunately, Li Rui wore armor, and it was not a big deal.
Before he knew it, it was already the time to send out the troops, and Li Jing had asked the sergeants in the battalion to go to bed early and get up early three days ago, and he always called the sergeants to get up at three or four o'clock in the morning.
Because Li Jing always took the lead in training, and now he advances and retreats with the sergeants every day, he has a very high prestige in the battalion, but no one complains.
On the day of the army, Li Jing still called out the sergeant early, because he got up early for several days in a row, the sergeants were also used to it, and their mental state was generally good, Li Jing asked everyone to keep quiet, at this time the moon was still round, and they could see the road clearly.
As for Shi Qian, he had already taken a dozen people to the front to explore the way. What Li Jing thought about in this battle was, since you Yan Shun want to ambush me, what if I hit you with a counter-ambush?
The road was quiet, waiting for the news of the time change in front of him, there was no movement in the direction of Qingfeng Mountain, and Li Jing also arrived at the main road to Qingfeng Mountain!
Li Jing naturally came here before, and he already had a draft in his heart on how to do it, but he was also calm, and ordered his subordinates to various positions one by one.
……
Speaking of Liu's mansion, Liu Quan sent two people to Li Jing's military camp to investigate when the sky was still light, and when the people arrived not far from the military camp, they found that there were people standing guard in the military camp as in the past. It wasn't long before smoke even rose from the camp.
Li Jing trained the sergeants every day, and the whole camp was hard and tired, so Li Jing resumed three meals a day, which attracted the gratitude of the sergeants, which Li Jing did not expect.
The two men could not see anything, thinking that the sergeants were still in the camp, and one of them went back to report the news, and the other continued to stare and did not mention it.
……
At this time, on Qingfeng Mountain, Yan Shun, Wang Ying, and Zheng Tianshou also got up early in the morning, and sent their henchmen to call out the minions one by one, and several people discussed it, after all, Li Jing brought five hundred elites, so it was decided that the three leaders would go down the mountain with seven hundred minions, leaving only one henchman leader with dozens of old and weak guards to guard the cottage.
But after all, Yan Shun is only a small businessman, and there is no one who understands military affairs in the mountains, and the robberies on weekdays are all rushed up, and others see that they are many and powerful, and they are cowardly before they fight, and they lose half of them before they fight, so how could Yan Shun think of the problem of the scattered formation of the minions!
Therefore, the three leaders of Yan Shun set off with seven hundred minions pushing and shoving, swaggering along the way, there was no one along the way, and Yan Shun and the others were not afraid of anyone noticing.
But this movement was noticed early by Shi Qian, who was hidden in the shadows to investigate, but the minions were scattered in formation, and it was difficult for Shi Qian to find out the number of people.
At this time, Li Jingzheng was riding a horse and standing on a hillside, next to him was a person dressed as a general, only to see this silver helmet and silver armor, holding a silver gun in his hand, riding a red horse, with a hard bow pinned to one side of the horse, and a pot of arrows on the other side, it was "Little Li Guang" Hua Rong!
It just so happened that at this time, Shi Qian finished the investigation and came back to Li Jing, Li Jing turned his head and said to Hua Rong on the side: "The fish has been hooked, and then you have to rely on Hua Zhizhai more!"
Hua Rong hugged Li Jing and said, "General Li, let's see how I kill the enemy!"
Between the words, Shi Qian also came to Li Jing, gave a military salute, and said: "General, at present, Qingfeng Mountain has sent troops, and now it is about ten miles away from here, and the three leaders of Qingfeng Mountain are here, and there are about seven hundred, please give the general an order!"
At this time, he wore a convenient leather armor and a military helmet on his head, which seemed to have the shadow of stealing chickens and dogs in the past!
Li Jing listened, pondered for a while, and ordered Shi Qian: "Explore again!" Wait for the enemy to stay three miles away from this place and then report it! ”
Shi Qian responded with a "promise" and went to investigate again.
After Shi moved away, Li Jingxiang sat on the horse and bowed his hand to Hua Rong, and said: "Next, it depends on Hua Zhizhai, if it is successful, Hua Zhizhai should be the first to take the lead!"
Hua Rong also agreed, and then drove his horse towards the ambush point.
Yan Shun was a little inexplicably irritable today, riding a horse, looking back at the minions who were still complaining because he got up early, and suddenly became angry and shouted: "Give Lao Tzu quietly, today we are here to kill those little cubs of the official army, look at what you have become!"
There was a roar, Yan Shun finally let go, turned his body, just wanted to drive the horse forward, suddenly felt a palpitation, the afterglow of his eyes suddenly glimpsed an arrow was flying towards him, Yan Shun just wanted to lean over to dodge, but the speed of the arrow was too fast, after all, he couldn't dodge, was shot in the left shoulder, fell off the horse, and shouted "hurt me" when he was in the air, and there was no more life.
Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou next to them were shocked, the two hurriedly jumped off the horse, and as soon as they got off the horse, they saw a group of sergeants appearing in front of them, all holding bows and arrows, but the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, a rain of arrows struck.
Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou were faster, and they had to hide behind the mount, but poor Yan Shun, the brothers who usually spoke to each other, had already flown away when the catastrophe came.
Yan Shun's mount ran away from his horse after he fell, and he himself fainted temporarily, when the arrow rain came, he was completely exposed to the sharp arrows, and was pierced by ten thousand arrows when he fainted, and I don't know if those souls who were dug out by Yan Shun can feel at ease!
Even Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou were a little flustered, not to mention the little minions in the back, they saw Yan Shun fall off the horse, and then there were ten thousand arrows in unison, and some of the timid ones were ready to run away at any time.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of fighting coming from behind, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, where did Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou have time to organize their minions to resist? But Wang Ying was also a little anxious, I don't know how many people and horses were in front of him, and he couldn't rush over anyway, only in the rear, after all, he had just come from there, and the number of ambush soldiers must not be much, so he hurriedly shouted: "Sons and daughters will follow me back to the cottage!" It's safe to go back to the cottage! ”
Wang Ying really thought well, Li Jing put a hundred archers and two hundred spearmen in front, and only a hundred horse soldiers in the rear, and all the sword and shield soldiers were arranged in the forest on the side of the road, so that they could be killed from the flanks!
And the beginning of all this was the arrow that Hua Rong shot at Yan Shun!
As for only putting one horse army on the back road, it is because Li Jing is indeed not afraid of these minions escaping back to the cottage, after all, his 100 horse army is not a decoration, on the flat ground, where can anyone run over the horse.
