Chapter 185: Ambush
"Innocent, aren't you afraid?" A huge carriage stopped on a mountainside, protected by dozens of cavalry, Du Ruhui, Li Jiancheng and Changsun Wuji and others also rode war horses and stood aside, but in fact, everyone didn't have the heart to laugh there, but looked into the distance, where a team of cavalry escorted a long carriage slowly.
"I'm not afraid." The eldest grandson Wujian glanced at Li Sanniang and said, "As long as San Lang is by my side, he will definitely defeat the enemy." β
Li Xiuning saw it clearly, and felt jealous for a while, early this morning, Li Xin left everyone behind, and led a thousand elite cavalry to escort the carriage to the north. No one knows better than Li Xiuning what is hidden in those carriages. At the same time, she also felt sad for Chai Shao, the other party's every move was under Li Xin's control, how could this war be fought.
"Are you going to start?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the army in the distance, showed a complicated expression, and sighed slightly.
"Auxiliary, you should sue me now, who is Li Sanlang going to deal with!" Li Jiancheng walked to the side of the eldest grandson Wuji, when he was on the bank of the Yellow River, he felt that something was wrong, but he and Li Xiuning were faintly under house arrest by Li Xin, and they didn't know the situation outside. He knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was in charge of the Perak Hall, and he must have known who Li Xin's opponent was. It was hard to ask before, but this time he wanted to know the truth.
"Chai Shao. He gathered the bandits of the state and prepared to ambush the Marquis of Shouyang. A trace of annoyance flashed in the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji, speaking of which, he and Chai Shao are still in the same camp, but Chai Shao is too bold, and he actually bribed the bandits of the entire state to ambush Li Xin, Li Xin now has the eldest grandson Wuji by his side, it doesn't matter if Chai Shao wants to kill Li Xin, but he must not hurt the eldest grandson Wuji, this is the bottom line of the eldest grandson Wuji. So even if the eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Xin had set a trap, he didn't sue others.
"It's him!" Li Jiancheng's face also became complicated. Speaking of which, both of them are his sisters-in-law, and at this time, he doesn't know what to do, so he can only sigh.
"Keming, there are about 100,000 bandits in Bingzhou, although they are all rabble, but San Lang only has 2,000 soldiers and horses around him, can it help?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Du Ruhui and said.
"Two thousand?" Li Jiancheng suddenly realized, he finally knew what was hidden in those carriages, they were all soldiers under Li Xin's command, although there were more than a thousand people, but they could change the situation on the battlefield at a critical time.
"The general never does something that he is not sure of, and the auxiliary machine just looks at it." Du Ruhui was not surprised that the eldest grandson Wuji knew any news, the thunderbolt hall of the eldest grandson's family specialized in collecting intelligence information, which was not comparable to the newborn Jinyiwei.
"San Lang put Chai Shao in this time." Inside the carriage, although Li Zhiwan was unhappy that Li Xin did not tell him the details, she felt a burst of happiness in her heart when she looked at Li Xiuning's gloomy face. Although his status in the family is not as good as Li Xiuning, but the person he is married to now is high, he is the newly sealed Marquis of Shouyang, the lord of the Western Regions, and this time he is playing with Chai Shao above the applause, and I don't know if Chai Shao can escape with his life this time.
"General, Su Dingfang has already led a large army of 10,000 people, and it is fifty miles to the southeast of us, and the large army of 6,000 people led by Yan SΓΉ is stationed in the mountains to the northwest. As long as we hold off the other party's tea, our reinforcements will arrive. Duan Qi followed Li Xin and said cautiously.
"Duan Qi, do you know what's on the other side of you?" Li Xin looked at the plain opposite, a plain rarely seen in Bingzhou, and Li Xin prepared to use it as a battlefield.
"Battle exploits." Duan Qi was stunned when he heard this, and replied without thinking: "The general will definitely be very happy in his heart to put down the rebellion in the state after a battle." β
"No, you're wrong, the first emperor may not be happy to hear that I have pacified the bandits in the state, because the current emperor, the last thing he likes is to hear that there are bandits, and it is a bandit with a number of nearly 100,000 people, this is so huge, the emperor will definitely not want to hear this news." Li Xin shook his head, raised his whip and pointed into the distance, and said: "In your eyes, the people who are about to appear on the other side are bandits and war exploits, but in my eyes, these bandits are soldiers, but they are ordinary people who have cultivated the wasteland. β
Duan Qi was stunned when he heard this, and soon understood Li Xin's thoughts, and they all nodded again and again, Li Xin wanted to choose his strength to be included in his army, and the rest of the old and weak were sent to the Western Regions to reclaim the famine, to help Li Xin accumulate grain and grass, 100,000 bandits, and at least 10,000 people who could use it, but in an instant, Li Xin's army was recruited.
And on the opposite side of him, on the mountainside, Chai Shao looked at the cavalry guarding the carriage under the mountain and slowly coming, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, although Li Xin had also sent a sentry before this, however, it was obvious that Li Xin would not have thought that someone would ambush him, even if it was a sentry agent, which made Chai Shao much easier.
"It seems like there's a little less carriage." Chai Baochang said with some curiosity.
"In the back!" Chai Shao pointed to the distance and said. Chai Baochang really found that behind those cavalry, there were many carriages, and the carriages were coming slowly, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
"Childe, where's the float?" Mu Duan'er looked anxiously at the army in the distance and said.
"In the middle of the army." Chai Shao felt a little disdain in his heart, and pointed to the distance with some discomfort and said. I saw that among the 1,000 cavalry, there were really two floats moving slowly. He thought of the army, there were also Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning, and he hesitated for a while, but he quickly ruled out this idea, this was his only chance to do something to Li Xin, if he missed today, it would be difficult to kill Li Xin again.
"Childe, now you can do it." Chai Baochang jumped to try, he had heard of Li Xin's strength, but if he could kill Li Xin, he would definitely be able to shock the world.
"Attack." Chai Shao looked excited, his eyes flashed with a hint of madness, he seemed to see Li Xin being captured alive by everyone, kneeling in front of him, and ordered to attack without hesitation. In an instant, the war drums on the entire grassland rumbled, and Chai Baochang and the others let out a roar in their mouths, and led the bandits around them to rush down the mountain.
"It's finally here." Li Xin waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command stopped in an instant, lined up in a battle formation, looked at the roaring bandits, the war drums behind them sounded, and the soldiers jumped one after another on the carriage in front, and these soldiers were holding longbows or broadswords in their hands, and they were assembled in an instant. When he opened his bow and arrows, he saw a dark cloud with a roar and fell into the bandits, sweeping away one living life after another.
