Chapter 319: Ambush

The next day, when the sun had just risen over the horizon and the golden sunlight was shining all over the earth, Ye Shaolong and the others woke up from their sleep one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This time I came to ambush, and in order to conceal sex, I naturally couldn't make a fire and cook. One by one, they yawned with sleepy eyes, and they didn't even have time to wash their faces and rinse their mouths, so they quickly hid back to their hiding places while eating dry food.

This place is a small hill, and the official road is cut straight through this small hill, and the official road less than four meters wide is lined with low trees and weeds on both sides. This is convenient for Ye Shaolong and others to hide!

More than 1,000 people lay in ambush on both sides of the uphill road, silently, and everyone was well hidden. Ye Shaolong and Su Can were very satisfied after checking it.

"Big brother, if the foreigners come, you will rush up with you, but be careful of the foreigners' muskets. And when you start, you have to tell everyone to take it easy, but don't kill everyone. Ye Shaolong knows Su Can, judging from his current hatred for foreigners, it is very likely that he will accidentally kill all foreigners.

Su Can didn't care, hummed and said a few words casually to deal with the past, and then excused himself to explain to everyone, turned around and immediately flashed.

He didn't want to listen to Ye Shaolong's nagging here, for the sake of his own ears and roots, Su Can had to avoid Ye Shaolong.

Looking at the back of Su Can leaving, Ye Shaolong was also very helpless. Su Can didn't listen to persuasion at all, he still did things according to his own temperament, and he was a general before.

If he can lead the army with a character like him, the consequences can be imagined. This is also why Ye Shaolong did not dare to serve Su Can in the army, an iron tower was enough for him to have a headache, if he got another Su Can in, Ye Shaolong didn't know what to do.

Time passed minute by minute, and I got up from early morning to prepare, and before I knew it, two hours had passed, and it seemed that it was almost noon.

The official road is still silent, and there is not even a ghost in sight, let alone those foreigners who have to pass through here.

In the scorching heat of summer, everyone hides behind trees or in the grass, but in such a ghostly weather, you will feel hot even if you hide in the water, let alone lie on the ground like this and let the sun fry.

Ye Shaolong soon realized that it was not good, if the foreigners did not appear quickly, everyone would survive like this, and heat stroke would be inevitable.

In a hurry, Ye Shaolong found Su Can again and asked him to send someone to Baoding City to investigate, if the foreigners hadn't set off yet, everyone had to be allowed to rest.

Su Can also knew that the situation was not optimistic, so he immediately sent someone to contact the beggar gang disciples in Baoding.

About half an hour later, I waited for the news that the foreigners had left and were about to leave the city.

How did Ye Shaolong know that for the safety of the materials, the foreigners did not dare to rush sooner or later, but chose to close the sky and the sun to ensure safety.

In any case, when the good news finally arrived, everyone immediately returned to their original places and waited quietly.

Xiaoshanbao is only five miles away from Baoding City, even if you walk slowly, you can reach it in half an hour.

In the scorching heat, I saw a pair of people and horses at the end of the official road, slowly coming towards the side of the small hill.

Ye Shaolong took the telescope to observe, and he could see that there were more than 20 carriages, and they were four horses pulling one, obviously the things in the carriage were not light.

In addition to more than 20 horsemen, there were more than 100 foreigners armed with muskets on foot on both sides, and there were more than 30 cavalry in total.

Taken together, this team is also close to two hundred people, and the number of combatants should be about one hundred and fifty. Seeing this, Ye Shaolong was finally relieved, there were only more than a hundred combatants, and he believed that Su Can and they could easily handle it.

The team soon reached the bottom of the hill and, after a little preparation, began to ascend. The carriage full of goods soon entered the ambush place of Ye Shaolong and others.

One hundred archers and more than thirty musketeers were already in battle, just waiting for Ye Shaolong's order.

The foreigners were only concerned with the road, but did not notice that there were ambushes on both sides of the road.

The foreign soldiers riding horses at the front had already been roasted by the sun and were sweating, and no one could stand it when they hurried under such a big sun. A few people looked back impatiently as they walked.

The mouth was even more grunting and drinking, as if urging the people behind to hurry up.

The leader was a bearded man, very tall, with a high hat on his head, and it was not difficult to guess that this man must be the leader from his unusual appearance.

The tower was now holding a musket in his hand, and he had been aiming at him for a long time. Seeing that this man was about to take his men, he began to go downhill. The iron tower still couldn't wait for Ye Shaolong's order, and his face was already in a hurry.

It was at this time that Ye Shaolong nodded at him and said, "Fight!" ā€

"Bang!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the tower fired as soon as he got the order. Immediately after the tower, more than 30 gunshots rang out in an instant.

Then there are the archers, who do not have the momentum of muskets, but they are much more agile than muskets, and they are more likely to shoot wherever they want.

The sudden movement immediately caused all the foreigners to fall into a panic, and some of the unlucky ones were already shot and splashed with blood on the spot.

However, these foreigners were obviously not idle people, and after the initial panic, they soon relied on the carriage pulling goods as a cover and began to look for a sneak attack target to counterattack.

The shot from the tower just now was crooked, and it didn't hit the leader, but the soldiers beside him. The leader, who had narrowly escaped with his life, was so agile that at the moment he heard the gunshots, he rolled over and dismounted, and trotted under the carriage for cover.

When the tower saw that he had missed it, he viciously threw away the musket in his hand, picked up his iron rod, and rushed out first.

The foreigner's counterattack had already begun, but the tower ignored the sporadic gunshots and rushed to the foreigner's carriage in a few steps. More than forty pounds of iron rods flew in his hands, as light as nothing, and screams kept sounding everywhere he went.

The iron tower took the lead, and Su Can and the others, who rushed up after him, secretly admired it when they saw the iron tower so powerful.

And the tower seems to have no intention of cherishing those little soldiers and shrimps, his purpose is very clear, that is, to run for the leader.

The leader, who was hiding under the carriage and firing a hidden gun, suddenly saw a man taller than himself in his eyes, and he was coming towards him with a fierce look.

Without any hesitation, he turned his gun and aimed at the tower that was striding towards him.

His movements have long been observed by the Tower, after all, the Tower has been watching him from the beginning. The iron rod in his hand suddenly came out of his hand and flew straight to the leader.

The iron rod with the whistling sound of the wind looked terrifying, and the leader, who had just turned the muzzle of the gun, did not dare to slack off, and immediately rolled and dodged.
