Chapter 139: Ambush the Five Stone Peaks
Ye Zheng lit a cigarette, and under the surprised and surprised gazes of the mountain bandits along the way, he strode to the mouth of the Black Dragon Valley.
At this time, Niu Tiezhu had already ordered the five hundred and forty members of the Fire God Hall, under the leadership of the heads of each branch hall, to line up in a neat line, waiting for Ye Zheng's arrival.
Ye Zheng came to the members of the Fire God Hall who were ready to go, and saw that they were all carrying arms and guns, waiting there with a feverish expression, facing a pair of excited and restless eyes, he waved his arm and ordered majestically: "Brothers, go!"
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
When the people heard the order, they all shouted with high morale.
After seeing the uniform answers of the Fire God Hall, Ye Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and immediately took the lead in leading the five hundred and forty members of the Fire God Hall, and in the envious eyes of the mountain bandits, he took neat steps, passed through the gate of the village with murderous spirit, and left the Black Dragon Valley.
At this time, the master of Xiahou Village arranged to protect them was already waiting for their arrival in the open space outside the canyon at this moment.
After the two groups of people converged, the total number of people was close to eight hundred, so Ye Zheng sent some mountain bandit masters to explore the road in front, while the rest of the people and horses followed closely behind the pathfinders, and rushed out of the Black Dragon Ridge all the way.
After crossing the Black Dragon Ridge, they headed in a southeasterly direction.
Before leaving, the spies of the Tanfeng Hall reported to Ye Zheng in time, the latest movements of the imperial court's bandit army at this time, saying that the court's 15,000 bandit army at this time is still in Feng County, and Feng County is a small county town closest to Cangliang Mountain, from Feng County to Canghuang, according to the normal marching speed, it will take at least three days.
Therefore, if the army of the imperial court wants to enter the territory of Cangliang Mountain smoothly, it will take at least three days, and the army will enter the desolate realm and then go to the Black Dragon Ridge, it will take at least three days, so, in general, if everything goes well, if the army of bandits of the imperial court wants to enter the Black Dragon Valley, it will take at least seven days in total.
And this time, Ye Zheng and the others chose to ambush the imperial court's bandit army in the stone village of Wushi Peak.
The stone village of Wushifeng is located in a mountain range in the southeast of Cangshan Mountain, where it is about two days away from Heilongling, if the imperial court bandit army enters the desolate realm, if they want to quickly approach Heilongling, then the only shortcut is to pass through the stone village of Wushifeng.
Wushifeng is not only the fastest route to Heilongling, but more importantly, the mountain road there is gentle and wide, suitable for the transportation of grain and grass for the imperial court bandit army, although there are mountain roads in some other places that can lead to Heilongling, but those mountain roads are quite rough, but also the road is remote, if the number of officers and soldiers is small, and there is no mule, carriage and baggage, you can choose other routes to enter Heilongling.
However, this time, the imperial court sent an army of 15,000 to suppress bandits, and such a large force was also an expedition of laborers, so how could it not have a large amount of grain and grass? Therefore, after Ye Zheng's judgment and analysis, if the imperial court wanted to ensure the army's vigorous combat effectiveness and logistical needs, they had to march through the stone village, otherwise, their war against bandits would be in a disadvantageous place.
After thoroughly analyzing the current situation, Ye Zheng led the Fire God Hall and a group of mountain bandit masters all the way to Wushi Peak.
After two days of hurrying, Ye Zheng and the others rushed to the best place for this ambush attack, Wushi Peak, in the evening of the next day.
After arriving at Wushi Peak, Ye Zheng ordered everyone to find a secret place here that night, set up camp and rested, and he himself led a few mountain bandits who were familiar with this place, surveyed and observed around the Wushi Peak, and found that the mountains here are high and dense, and the terrain is dangerous and deep, it is indeed a rare good place for ambushes.
After going back, Ye Zheng and everyone hurriedly ate a few pieces of bread, then gathered all the leaders and branch masters together, and began to discuss the details of how to arrange the ambush, after an hour of discussion and planning, Ye Zheng gave all the members of the Fire God Hall to arrange their best ambush locations around Wushi Peak.
As for himself, he personally led the twenty members of the bazooka branch to carry thirty M18A1 anti-infantry directional mines, ran to the road of the bandit army and buried them.
After planting the mines, he also asked people to mark each installed mine, and at the same time let his brothers see it, so that his own people would not step on it by mistake.
After making all the preparations for the ambush, Ye Zheng led everyone to quietly lurk in Wushi Peak, waiting for the army of bandits from the imperial court, and stepped into the mine array and arms ambush circle they had prepared.
They waited in Wushi Peak for six days, but they still didn't see the imperial army enter the territory of Wushi Peak, and they didn't even find the scouts sent by the bandit officers and soldiers, let alone the shadow of the large army.
Ye Zheng didn't expect this result at all, after waiting for six days, the dry food they brought was almost exhausted, everyone was a little impatient to wait, and some people even wondered if the imperial court's army of bandits was marching from this route?
However, after many investigations, it was shown that the route of the imperial court's bandit army this time was to pass through Wushi Peak, and then go all the way west to the Black Dragon Valley. Therefore, it is absolutely not wrong for Ye Zheng and them to lead the Fire God Hall to set up an ambush here, but why hasn't the imperial court's bandit army appeared until now?
It's weird, it's so abnormal?
If it is according to normal circumstances, the army of bandits in the imperial court should only arrive at Wushi Peak two days later than them, even if the speed of the imperial army is affected by the weight of grain and grass, it is impossible to be too slow and ridiculous, at most it will be two or three days slower It will be great, and the weather has been sunny these days, and there is no bad weather affected by storms or anything, there is no reason for the imperial army to delay the speed of the march, not to mention, the reason that the soldiers are fast, it is impossible for the general of the imperial court to not understand?
Just when Ye Zheng and the others were full of anxiety and doubts, Tanfeng Hall sent spies over, and as soon as the spies came, they brought them two important news, the first was that the army of bandits in the imperial court had entered the desolate realm at this time, and they had all arrived at the Wild Horse Plain, which was more than twenty kilometers away from Wushi Peak.
However, the strange thing is that after the bandit army entered the Wild Horse Plain, the whole army stopped advancing and camped on the Wild Horse Plain.
After Ye Zheng learned the news, he was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Could it be that our Fire God Hall's plan to ambush them with arms was detected by them?"
However, he thought about it again and felt that this was unlikely, because this time their ambush operation in the Fire God Hall, except for a few leaders in the cottage, basically no one else knew, and the members of the Fire God Hall were following him every day these days, so it was even more impossible for them to have a traitor to inform. Besides, when he selected people to enter the Fire God Hall, basically the current group of members, their loyalty, there was absolutely no problem.
So, what's wrong?
Ye Zheng was puzzled, and couldn't figure out why the army of bandits in the imperial court stopped in Mustang for no reason.
At this moment, the spy from the Wind Exploration Hall told him the second news, and when Ye Zheng heard the second news, his face changed drastically, and a cold sweat broke out on his back!
