Chapter 205: A negligible ambush
"Goo-goo-goo"
The owl's short cry echoed, and with the yin wind that blew from time to time, it hit the last defense of the heart little by little. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wandering Soul Pass, a barren land, hundreds of miles uninhabited, no grass and trees in the mountains. When the night falls, the craggy rocks make people unable to look at it for a long time, and they are also afraid.
"How far is it?"
In the black carriage, someone asked with a little excitement. He didn't know why, but he was very excited for no reason in the gloomy environment that others were extremely afraid of.
"Back to the lord, there are still twenty miles to the rooster station."
The non-military fortress of the Wandering Soul Pass is the place where the people rumor that the ghost army is stationed, and no one can pass it, but there must be a garrison on the main road for hundreds of miles, so the place where the garrison is called "Chicken Song". The rooster cries for five watches, the morning sun is about to come out, and a hundred ghosts are hidden.
Wei Huo does not believe in evil, since following Zhao Zheng, he has experienced more than 100 bloody battles, large and small, even if the corpse mountain and sea of blood have also been broken. Where in the world are there any lonely souls and wild ghosts, even if there is, they can't stop the earth-shattering thunder on his waist, if they can block it, then add another one.
Thinking of this, Wei Huo carefully looked to the sides, the near was flat, the distance was undulating, unless it was cavalry, no one could make a successful sneak attack.
What's more, they had already prepared, as early as in Jinjiling, before the Wandering Spirit Pass, the convoy was divided into two, and the female dependents and non-combatants were all rerouted. Zhao Zhengze took the danger alone, took Wei Huo and other guards and the three hundred shadow guards who were transferred, and walked into the "burial place" chosen by Lu Hou for him.
The geographical topography of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very interesting, there is an abrupt erection of the Tianzhu Mountains in the middle, and the surrounding area is flat and flat, and there must be a big river at the junction of neighboring countries, but the road to the west is flat.
"This heaven-sent land", King Wu of Zhou once said, "Heaven does not take it, but suffers its sin." So he was very shameless in raising troops and saying a bunch of reasons why future generations themselves did not believe it.
It's just killing, do you need an excuse?
After Luoyi slaughtered Lu Hou, Lu Hou fled in anger, took away all the refined weapons in Lu City, and claimed that he had revenge and apologized.
Some nobles who had grievances with Zhao Zheng hurriedly sent people to "persuade" Lu Hou, and the family soldiers were sent out in waves, but in the end no one returned.
Also this time back to Qin, Taifu Temple came more than once to ask about the route, claiming to prepare horses and arrange guards to escort them.
Zhao Zhengwan refused to send someone to escort him, it was not terrible to be remembered, and it was terrible for the person who was worried to follow him.
"Slow down the march, and attack the pathways on both sides, tossing for most of the night, they are not tired, but I am sleepy."
Wei Huo smiled and said, "Then you will sleep, it has been more than half a year, and the brothers have not seen blood, so this time you have to have a good meeting." He said it carelessly, as if Lu Hou's ambush was a wild monster that gave people heads.
"Don't be nervous, tell the brothers, don't worry about it." Somehow, Zhao Zheng had a sense of foreboding.
"Maybe I'm overthinking," he said, patting his forehead and lowering the steel plate.
In the middle of the month, the moon was round, but it was shrouded in black clouds, revealing a faint outline. On the empty official road, the three companies of the Guards Regiment dressed in blue-black military uniforms, followed behind their respective squad leaders, and quietly climbed to the slopes on both sides while the moonlight was dim.
At dusk, the birdsong never stops, and after a day of flying, the plane has to be refueled, and there is no reason why the bird should not return to its nest. These people clumsily laid an ambush, believing that Zhao Zheng did not see it, and by now, the ambush battle had become an encounter.
"Master Hou, heh...", the man who spoke yawned, "It's already the second half of the night, and if we go forward, there will be a rooster song, if we don't do it, we won't have a chance." ā
Lu Hou strained his face, he had the urge to move countless times along the way, but each time he saw the Guards watching around. It's not an unknown observation, but a look that has long been known, as if waiting for them to do it.
Ahead is the rooster station, this is the last chance, but also the best chance. The Wandering Soul Pass extends to this, and the terrain rises suddenly, forming a narrow passage, and the Chicken Song Post is built at the mouth of the passage, choking the throat of the west.
The garrison is the first part of the prince's three guards, so naturally Zhao Zheng will not be embarrassed. Lu Hou clenched his fists, hesitating whether to rush. There were 500 dead soldiers around him, and 200 of them were reinforcements sent by various nobles, or burial goods.
Assassinating the crown prince of Qin, whether he succeeds or not, it is impossible to continue to live in the world, successful, Ji Yan needs someone to end this matter and block Qin's mouth; If you fail, then you don't have to think about it, what do you care about when you die.
"Father, they stopped."
Lu Hou got up and saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the car, and some soldiers squatted down and seemed to be checking the wheels.
"Not right"
Lu Hou suddenly found that there were fewer people.
"Removal ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the "whoosh" wind trembled, and I saw clusters of rockets thrown from the roof of those "problematic" carriages.
"Damn, fight with them."
Since it was discovered, Lu Hou did not hide, carrying a five-foot-long saber, shouting and rushing down the hillside.
"Capture and kill the ruler, and reward 10,000 taels of gold."
It is the duty of the dead soldier to die in battle for the lord, and when he heard that there was a reward, he rushed to kill without his life, and the five hundred people were stunned and shouted out the momentum of a thousand people in battle.
"Kill~~"
"Pounce~"
Before they had crossed the two hundred meters, the dead men suddenly felt a chill on their ankles, and then they couldn't feel their feet anymore.
"Ah~My Feet"
Holding the soles of their feet that were detached from their bodies, they struggled to crawl back, not going far, and the excessive blood loss was left forever.
"Up"
Hundreds of people suddenly jumped out of the ground, and the hidden ambush was not only the preserve of the special combat team, but also the Guards regiment. Lying on the ground, hiding in the blue and black clothes on his body, he arranged a stumbling rope in front of him, waiting for the enemy's position to be in chaos, and taking advantage of the situation to rush and kill.
The 500 people who were still menacing just now were killed and injured more than 100 in an instant, and the rest fled backwards in terror. Lu Hou raised his arms and roared, "Rush, those who go further will be rewarded", but unfortunately no one bought it, and their courage disappeared in an instant.
Leaving behind a hundred and ten corpses and seriously wounded, Lu Hou fled from the pursuit of the Guards for the time being. The ambush failed, hurry up and run, but, so unwilling!
"I'm afraid, the other party is only about a hundred people, even if we lose one, there are still four hundred people, don't you dare to kill one of the four?"
"Huh?"
The dead soldiers also felt that it was not good to go like this, not to mention that they were working for the lord, even if they were ordinary rangers, it was not benevolent to flee like this.
"Listen to Master Hou, let's kill back."
"Yes, kill them back, I'm afraid they will do something."
The group rushed back again, but as far as the eye could see, where did the people go?
From the beginning of the ambush to the retreat, it took less than half an hour, but it took a full hour and a half for Lu Hou to calm down and lead people to attack again.
After waiting for two hours, Wei Huo's hands were sweating, and he was always in a posture supporting the earth-shaking thunder, and he was a little tired of it. So the order was given to retreat, and the convoy came to the chicken station unscathed.
"This ambush is a joke", Wei Huo said disdainfully, "The lord should really take a good look, the so-called strong Zhou army except for the Yin Eighth Division, don't mention anything else." ā
Zhao Zheng's ears rang with Wei Huo's nagging, although he won a big victory, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he felt that there was a huge terror waiting for him in front of him.
