The east of the city is less than three miles away from the mouse ditch, and the sky has just been dark
Swallowing the last bite of the hard nest head with hot water, Du Kun scolded and ordered to continue to move forward, and the hundreds of cavalry and rangers around him had long since lost their previous energetic appearance, one by one drooping their heads, bending over, and walking listlessly.
After tossing all morning, walking more than ten miles, and getting seven or eight so-called riddle-solving letters, Du Kun couldn't figure out how to solve these puzzles even though he wanted to break his head. The group arranged ambushes countless times, pounced on them countless times, and then continued on the road =. =
Behind Du Kun's team
"What the hell is this Du Kun doing? Who are they going to ambush? Are we going to keep going? On a low slope, the internal security spies under Zhang Kai also looked puzzled, and they were hesitating to follow.
From the beginning of following Du Kun according to the order in the morning to the present, the spies have not drunk a mouthful of water or eaten a mouthful of food, and they have been starving all the way until now, and they are tired and exhausted. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Hu and Zhang Kai led the army to follow quietly not far behind them, these spies would have wanted to find a random place to get up and rest, and go back to do errands.
"Half of you are outflanked from the left, and I will continue to follow the rest of the people, maybe there will be a result soon," said an internal guard who was observing through a clairvoyant mirror, and he found that not far from Du Kun's team, a bonfire had suddenly been lit.
At the same time, the ranger at the front of Du Kun's team also discovered this situation and hurriedly reported to Du Kun.
"Sure enough, it was there! Extinguish all the torches at once, and don't let them see it! The cavalry immediately outflanked from the left flank, and the rest lurked according to the previous order, ready to move at any moment! Lao Du, go there with the prime minister, the prime minister must slaughter these guys who pretend to be ghosts in Mu Wangfu today! Hearing the report, Du Kun climbed out of the carriage with his hands and feet, glanced at the bonfire in front of him, hurriedly called the leader of the cavalry and the rangers, and commanded in a low voice.
Although he slept in the open and tossed for a day, when he learned that the enemy had finally appeared, whether it was a ranger or a cavalryman of the city defense army, he was instantly energetic. One by one, they extinguished the torches, and the cavalrymen sealed the mouths and noses of the horses with cloth pockets to prevent sound, and they dismounted and led the horses, and lined up in an orderly manner to outflank the left.
The four hundred rangers quickly extinguished their torches, slowly bent down, leaned down, and scattered on both sides of Du Kun's team, hiding in the grass more than one person high.
It wasn't until Du Kun's frame team left and walked a long way in the direction of the bonfire that these rangers lurking in the grass slowly got up, lowered their bodies, and walked cautiously towards that side. Everyone tried not to make any noise, for fear of alarming each other.
"Hurry up and kill these guys who are pretending to be ghosts, go back to Du Xiangye to get a reward, and then find a Qinglou to eat and drink, and find a beautiful girl to have a good time!" That's what everyone thinks at this point, and they think they have a chance to win.
As soon as he saw the abnormality of Du Kun's team, the leader of the internal guard who saw the bonfire just now immediately "understood" that something was going to happen.
"The man on the left is out at once! The rest of the people will follow me and send someone to report to the Grand Commander and Lord Zhang! Anxiously lowering his voice and ordering, the leader of the internal guards sat down on the ground with a short body, slid down the slope, and ran towards the campfire with more than forty internal guards.
On the one hand, he was busy arresting and cutting people, and when he was done, he went back to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble; On the one hand, he was busy in the past, and the sandpiper and clam competed for the fisherman's profit, and after he was busy, he returned to the palace to receive the reward, and was promoted to make a fortune; Finally, I lit the fire and went home to sleep.....
The march of the three hundred cavalry was very slow, and there was no torch lighting in the dark night, and it was difficult for both men and horses to move an inch. All the soldiers carefully held on to their horses and groped their way forward, for fear that they would break their horses' hooves and injure themselves by taking a wrong step.
The poor cavalry approached slowly like a snail, and they did not realize that there was an additional group of men behind them—fifty guards followed them silently, baring their sharp fangs like a pack of hungry wolves in the wilderness, silently staring at their prey.
The vast majority of the internal guards have already taken out sharp scimitars and crossbows from under their robes, and as soon as the opponent makes a move, they will immediately send a signal to slash and kill the enemy.
Although there are hundreds of people on the other side, the internal guards don't take the other party seriously at all, they are all strong in martial arts, and there are three thousand elite troops of the imperial court not far behind. Just take advantage of the darkness of the night to hold the other side, wait until the army arrives, and wipe them all out - it's easy.
"It's almost there, it's almost over! With this as a start, Muwangfu will cease to exist! Southern Xinjiang will become a source of wealth and a source of soldiers for the old man, and in time, hehe. When today's son is mediocre and incompetent, the military attache is arrogant and domineering, the eyes are unofficial, and the nobles are arrogant and extravagant, if it were not for the hard support of the old man and other pillars of the country, for the sake of the world and the people, the Han Dynasty would have collapsed long ago. Let the old man sit down in this world! Muttering in a voice that only he could hear, Du Kun's eyes shone with ambition that shouldn't belong to him.
Ordering the housekeeper to order the march to speed up, Du Kun straightened his clothes, sat upright in the carriage, and rested with his eyes slightly closed. He believed that he was about to win, and he would be able to capture the self-righteous Mu Wangfu Mu Juewan and the mysterious man alive, kill these two people on the spot, and vent the hatred in his heart.
"Then as long as the old man prepares enough evidence, he can prove that Mu Juewan, Mu Wangfu and the White Lotus Sect colluded! The old man asked His Majesty to search the post house and found that Mu Juewan was missing, and found the token of the White Lotus Sect that Mu Juewan had left out in the hidden place! Hurry, when the time comes, it's up to you to see what you do in Muwangfu! With a fierce light shining in his eyes, Du Kun couldn't help but tilt the corners of his mouth, revealing an infiltrating smile.
Just when Du Kun YY was cool, the team was about to arrive at the destination, and the leading ranger could even clearly see two figures near the bonfire:
"Ahh A terrible scream broke the silence of the mouse ditch, and the leading ranger looked at the crossbow arrow in his chest with a shocked face. In an instant, a large amount of blood seeped out of it, and the ranger only had time to let out a scream before falling to the ground.
Before Du Kun and the others could react, several more screams rang out, from the left and back of Du Kun's team!
"Ahh A cavalryman fell to the ground holding his front heart, and before the cavalry next to him could react, several more people fell to the ground one after another.
"There's an ambush in the back! Light the torch and kill! At this time, the cavalry also reacted, and several people roared and lit the fire fold that they carried at any time, and more people hurriedly turned around, drew their weapons and looked behind.
"What the hell is going on? Never mind! Signal! The leading guard instantly calmed down, drew his weapon and shouted.
After saying that, the internal guards didn't talk nonsense, everyone pulled out the crossbow arrows hanging on their waists, and shot them in front:
"Whoosh"
"Ahh There was an ambush."
"My eyes! Save me! ”
"Brothers, there is an ambush behind, run away!"
......
Suddenly attacked by a surprise attack, the cavalry team was suddenly in disarray, and dozens of people were killed and wounded. But soon under the reprimand of the cavalry generals, countless torches were lit, and the cavalry found that the other party was turning around and fleeing.
"Kill the White Lotus Sect Demon Party!" Seeing this scene, the cavalry suddenly doubled their courage, and one by one they roared and raised torches to launch a counterattack:
In a hurry, he directly released the reins of the horse, picked up the knife and chased after him; The old man turned over and got on his horse, holding a torch in one hand and a saber in the other, shouting in his mouth, like a bandit, chasing after him.
Many cavalrymen relied on their positions to move forward, and by the faint light of the fire, they sat on their horses and opened their bows and arrows to shoot, and the dense arrows instantly covered the few inner guards running at the rear. The internal guards, who had no armor or shields to cover them, were shot through by dozens of arrows before they could even scream, and they died on the spot.
"Damn it! Du Kun really wants to rebel! actually used the White Lotus Sect Demon Party as a shield, and when the army arrived, these traitors who rebelled against Du Kun must be killed and the Nine Clans punished! He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.
The same thing happened to the rangers who lurked in the front, unlike the well-trained cavalry, most of the rangers were bullies and bullies, and in the face of sudden killings, they were suddenly in chaos.
Countless rangers ran out of the hiding place crying and shouting, lit the fire fold in their arms as they ran, and then threw it behind their backs:
It is the cold winter wax moon and the weather is dry, and the big wilderness is full of withered yellow thatch that is more than one person high, and the fire breaks on it as soon as it falls on it.
The raging flames spread instantly, and the burning rangers cried and shouted for their mothers, rolling and crawling, these guys originally wanted to see the enemies behind them clearly. As a result, in a panic, he directly lit the fire and burned himself and his companions.
At this time, the head of the internal guard was also confused, and when he saw the signal from the team on the left, he also realized that something was wrong. At that moment, the leader of the internal guard did not talk nonsense, and led the team to pick up the crossbow and shoot at the rangers, slashing and killing a few lone rangers, and then led the team to run to the left, wanting to meet the subordinates on the left.
Not far from the rat ditch
As soon as they saw the signal, Wang Hu and Zhang Kai, who were originally sitting quietly, immediately stood up, glanced at the signal, and the two looked at each other and nodded.
"The whole army marches in a hurry, and anyone you meet on the road, as long as it is not our people, will be killed! Including Prime Minister Du Kundu! A few steps to the war horse, Wang Hu turned over on the horse, drew his knife in his hand, and roared loudly.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and at this time, Wang Hu directly took out the holy decree in his arms:
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Prime Minister Du Kun is lustful for power, and he is guilty of fighting against the internal party, selling official positions, embezzlement and bribery, collusion between officials and businessmen, and collusion with the White Lotus Demon Party and barbarians externally, and encroaching on the Han world. Everyone will be punished, and those who kill Du Kun will be rewarded with 10,000 gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels! ”
Hearing Wang Hu read out the holy decree, all the soldiers and internal guards were boiling, and one by one they silently turned over their horses as fast as they could, prepared their weapons and quickly rushed in the direction of the signal.
Everyone's eyes shone with excitement and bloodlust, and with the Holy Decree as proof, they only needed to pounce and cut off Du Kun's head. can easily get a lot of money, prominent official positions, and live an enviable life.
"Wow, angry old man! Mu Wangfu really hid dirt and dirt, and his mind was vicious, and he actually planted an ambush behind the old man, which was to take advantage of the chaos to kill the old man! Fortunately, the sky does not hide the girl, and the old man found out in time! Kill the old man, and everyone will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver tonight! Kill a thief from Mu Wangfu, and reward five thousand taels of silver" Du Kun's whole body trembled with excitement, and he got out of the carriage and shouted.
Yan Wangfu
"Lord Wang, you also understand that if a person's nerves are highly tense and tense, then his IQ is no different from that of a fool."
