Chapter 37: An Ambush by Mistake

The Banshee of the Mountains captured Lu Thorn Shi and Liu, and the officers and soldiers withdrew two miles away and set up camp. When everyone returned to the hall, they all praised Li Gongzi for using soldiers like a god, and they were impressed by him.

Li Huaiyu arched his hand and said: "Although the plan of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes to be realized now, everyone can't be happy too early!" The GIs haven't retreated yet, and we have to think of a foolproof plan in case of the unexpected. โ€

Hu Fenglian put down the spear, sat down firmly and asked, "In the opinion of Li Gongzi, how to completely retreat from the enemy?" โ€

Li Huaiyu held his sleeves and said: "In order to save Lu Tiande, the officers and soldiers will come to attack Hujiazhai at night tonight." The lord of Hu Zhai led 50 minions, dug a trap on the way, set up an organ, and did a good job of ambushing. When the officers and soldiers come, take care to hide themselves so that they do not be discovered, but let them go as much as you can. โ€

Hu Fenglian asked puzzledly: "But let it go, how did this little bit of soldiers and horses in the cottage beat that group of officers and soldiers?" โ€

Li Huaiyu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you let my sister bring a hundred minions to set up an organ outside the walled gate, to ensure that it will be easy for that group of officers and soldiers to come and difficult to go!" โ€

Hu Fenglian said: "Are you saying that when the officers and soldiers are defeated, let us greatly reduce their morale and kill them all?" โ€

Li Huaiyu said with satisfaction: "Xiaosheng is exactly what he meant!" โ€

Zhang Ning and Li Gui slapped the table with a "snap", and shouted in unison: "Good plan!" โ€

Xi Yue said: "In this way, those officers and soldiers will be wiped out, and they will never dare to disturb Hujiazhai again!" โ€

Zhang Meiying stood up and walked a few steps with her hands behind her back, and asked with a hum: "What should Lu Tiande's dog officer do?" โ€

Li Huaiyu said: "Lu Tiande is an official of the imperial court, if he suffers misfortune here, the imperial court will definitely send heavy troops to encircle and suppress us!" At that time, Hujialing could not escape the catastrophe. In my opinion, first use Lu Tiande as bait to introduce the officers and soldiers into the organs, and then let them go back after the officers and soldiers are defeated. โ€

Everyone hated Lu Tiande very much, but after listening to what Li Huaiyu said, it was not unreasonable, so they had no objections.

At the foot of Hujiazhai Mountain, in the big tent of the officers and soldiers, Zhao Jinhu, He Jiulong, and Ma Yunfei had dinner and were drinking.

Ma Yunfei said: "Brothers, that gang of bandits must be exhausted after a day of fighting today, we still have 3,000 men and horses, why don't we attack the enemy village at night, kill them by surprise, and rescue Master Shi back to the camp?" โ€

Zhao Jinhu said: "What Brother Ma said is reasonable, let's set off and kill all the thieves in one fell swoop!" โ€

He Jiulong put down his wine glass and asked uneasily: "Two brothers, move slowly, if the enemy sets up an ambush, what should we do?" โ€

Ma Yunfei said: "Brother He is too worried, thinking that the gang of thieves will come out of the nest during the day, and now they must be tired, who still has the leisure to set up an ambush?" โ€

The three generals dispelled their worries, put on their horses, took 2,800 officers and men, and ran to the mountains. They didn't notice any movement all the way, until they came to the outside of the gate. When everyone looked at it, it was dark and oppressive, and there were no sentinels guarding it. Zhao Jinhu was just about to fly and jump into the village, when he suddenly saw flames everywhere, and all the minions appeared one after another.

He Jiulong was shocked and shouted: "It's a plan, everyone retreat!" โ€

It was too late, it was fast, only to hear the sound of "coughing cough" chaotically, arrows flying everywhere, swords and guns were running horizontally, a big net fell from the sky, the net went to hundreds of people, the soldiers were in chaos for a while, and more than 1,000 people died in an instant. Big rocks and rolling logs flew out of the village, and countless officers and soldiers were killed. Suddenly, the flap under the feet of the officers and soldiers flashed, and hundreds of people fell into the deep pit, and all of them were stabbed to death by the sharp bamboos erected in the pit. General Zhao, Ma, and He used their agility to evade the mechanism and led 800 officers and soldiers to flee down the mountain in a panic. As soon as they ran out of the mile, arrows were shot from the left and right, and the officers and soldiers were already frightened birds, and they had no fighting spirit, so they could only be slaughtered. Zhao Jinhu's war horse was about to fall into the pit with a "snort", he kicked his legs, jumped up a few feet, stepped on the horse's back, grabbed He and Ma from his shoulders, and fled. The three generals took a lot of effort and risked nine deaths to return to the tiger tent, not to mention the wolf bรจi. None of the remaining officers and soldiers on the battlefield were spared, and all of them were killed.

With joy, Hu Fenglian led the troops back to the cottage and gathered in the hall with everyone.

Everyone was very happy, and each brought a bowl of wine and drank it all to celebrate today's rare victory.

Hu Fenglian hugged her fists and said: "Brothers, today thanks to Li Gongzi's strategy and strategy, we can avoid a catastrophe, otherwise we will definitely die, how can we return to the camp victorious?" โ€

Li Huaiyu arched his hand and said: "Miss Hu's words are wrong, if it weren't for your strong martial arts, good spells, and their abilities, I, Li Huaiyu, would be difficult to win even if my strategy is high!" โ€

Although everyone listened to what Li Gongzi said, they all admired him very much in their hearts and believed that he had the talent to be a general.

At this time, a minion entered the hall and reported: "King Yudai, Lu Tiande's dog official is making a lot of trouble in the cell, please decide!" โ€

Hu Fenglian waved her hand and shouted: "Bring those two people up!" โ€

The minions went down and brought Lu Tiande and Liu into the hall, and both of them bowed their heads and fell to the ground in fright.

Hu Fenglian slapped the table and said: "Dog official, you are corrupt and pervert the law and attack my cottage, you really deserve death!" The girl is going to do the right thing for heaven today, so that you will be in a different place! โ€

Lu Tiande hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life." It's not that the official has to ask for Hu Jialing......" He pointed at Liu Lanying and said: "It's this stinky woman who has to put everyone to death!" โ€

Zhang Meiying looked over and saw that the woman was her second mother Liu Lanying, and she said angrily: "Liu Lanying, I let you live in vain that day, I don't want you to be dead and do evil!" โ€

Liu raised his head and said: "Hmph, since my aunt and grandmother have been caught by you and others, they can be killed and scraped, and they will listen to it!" But as long as I, Liu Lanying, are still breathing, sooner or later, I will scrape your little beast with a thousand knives and break your corpse into thousands of pieces! โ€

Zhang Meiying was furious and shouted: "Slut, death is on the verge of death, and you are still so quick to speak, you take your life!" Saying that, the knife fell, and the head of the Liu family was slashed to the ground with a "clatter".

When Lu Tiande saw Liu's tragic death, he trembled in fright and kowtowed repeatedly.

Hu Fenglian said: "Dog official, you deserve to die for your original crime, but the girl thinks that you are the first offender of my Hu Jialing, and she has the right to spare you from death, if you commit it again, I will behead your whole family!" โ€

Lu Tiande said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for the grace of the girl not to kill, the surname Lu will never dare to come to disturb you anymore!" โ€

Hu Fenglian ordered someone to send the heads of Lu Tiande and the Liu family out of the cottage and back to the gate of the officer and soldier camp.

When Zhao Jinhu saw Liu's head, it was like five thunderbolts, his whole body trembled for a while, his heart was like a knife, and he shouted sadly: "Sister Lan Ying, it's Zhao who is sorry for you!" Hate only hates that I am not good at learning and failing to protect you, but I will definitely avenge you! He turned into smoke and left the camp and came to the sky above Hujiazhai, intending to launch immortal qi to attack the minions, but Zhang Meiying had already laid down several layers of immortal arrays in all directions, and once he made a move, he would be sucked into the formation by immortal qi. After thinking about it, he reluctantly returned to the camp.

Lu Thorn Shi led 200 remnants of the defeated army to return to Xuzhou, and never sent a single soldier to Hujialing after that.

Zhao Jinhu took Liu's ashes altar and married Jinlan with He Jiulong and Ma Yunfei in the restaurant. One night, Ma He and his two took more than 80 of their own soldiers, stole a cart of gold and silver beads from Yamen, sneaked out of Xuzhou City, and returned to Jiangdu with Zhao Jinhu. The three of them secretly conducted military drills every day, painstakingly intending to conspire with great things in the future.
