Chapter 117: Ambush

Although Yuan Chonghu was only a small scout captain, he did not follow the chief officer to surrender to the Jin army, but went out of Hongshankou to report the news, which alone was enough to win Cao Bianjiao's other eyes, plus he had been a scout for more than four years and had rich experience, and these experiences were what the wolf camp scouts lacked.

It can be regarded as a talent, Cao Bianjiao showed the intention of soliciting, and Yuan Chonghu faced the olive branch he stretched out, without the slightest hesitation, and immediately accepted it, people go to high places, the wolf camp is strictly disciplined, well-equipped, quite strong, and it is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the welfare treatment is so good that people are red, and they refuse when their brains are in water.

Cao Bianjiao immediately appointed him as the deputy leader of the second group of the scout battalion, and was also responsible for some related training of the scouts.

When Huang Taiji waved his army to attack the camp, Yuan Chonghu thought of the sheep intestine trail that bypassed the camp and went straight to Longjing Pass and Zunhua Town, and the general Zhang Wanchun was also familiar with the nearby terrain, so he must be in a hurry to perform, and he had led his troops to take the trail to touch it.

Cao Bianjiao was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly ordered Yuan Chonghu to lead the way, leading a battalion of five hundred brothers to rush to guard, and let them get more ammunition.

The sheep intestine trail is steep and difficult to walk, although the Jin army division led by Zhang Wanchun moved in advance, but the distance was less than half of the five hundred division of the wolf camp, when Yuan Chonghu led people to the Eagle's Beak Gorge, the Jin army had not yet arrived.

Eagle's Beak Gorge is a relatively open place in the whole sheep intestine trail, three large carriages can be accommodated in the middle side by side, two slopes are steeper, the upper side is full of trees, it is very suitable for ambushes, Yuan Chonghu plans to set up an ambush here, however, it is a little troublesome to climb the slopes on both sides, fortunately bring a lot of ropes, first cut down trees to build a long wooden ladder, climb up by a nimble person, and then put down the long rope, people climb up first, and then hang the weapons and ammunition little by little.

All the soldiers in the wolf camp are from Guangxi Zhuang Miao and other ethnic groups, although the people are thin and small, but they are as agile as apes, they beg for life in the mountains and forests all the year round, climbing mountains and trees is really not a problem, and the climbing problem is solved at once.

Yuan Chonghu was not sure whether the Jin army would take this path, but it was necessary to be prepared, during this period, he personally led two groups of scouts to reconnoitre, and the burial was all handed over to Huang Xiaohu, the commander of the partial division.

Huang Xiaohu is clever, comprehends quite quickly, performs well in training, and is willing to learn, was commissioned by Cao Bianjiao as a battalion officer, commanding a battalion of 500 soldiers, and also jumped directly from the big head soldier to the battalion officer, which made all the wolf soldiers envious, and was also greatly stimulated.

Yuan Chonghu led two groups of scouts out to reconnoitre, and walked along the rugged and steep path for nearly a mile, only to find a small group of Jin army scouts coming this way panting.

In order to avoid startling the snake, Yuan Chonghu turned back from the original road, carefully cleaned up the footprints and other traces along the way of retreat, and immediately prepared for battle after returning to the ambush place.

It didn't take long for the group of Jin army scouts to appear in everyone's field of vision, they looked up at the steep slopes on both sides, some people tried to climb up, but there were no ropes, even if they cut down trees to build stairs, they couldn't climb up, and besides, they didn't have the time, just stared and observed for a while, and then continued to search forward.

It didn't take long for another group of Jin Army scouts to appear, Yuan Chonghu secretly shouted that he was lucky, if he couldn't hold back just now and recklessly killed the group of scouts in front of him, he would be discovered by the second group of scouts.

The second group of scouts of the Jin army also stared at the steep slopes on both sides for a while before continuing to move forward, until the third group of scouts appeared, Yuan Chonghu and Huang Xiaohu couldn't help but curse the commander of the Jin army for being cunning.

After the third group of scouts passed, nearly half an hour, the brigade of Jin Jun finally appeared, in front of the leader is the general Zhang Wanchun who surrendered to Xianguan, and he is parallel to the division commander Yue Tuo, deputy marshal Du Du, surrounded by a group of guards, one by one tired and out of breath, fortunately the heavy armor on the body has already been taken off, let the ordinary soldiers scatter and carry, otherwise they would have died of exhaustion before they reached the eagle's beak.

"What is this place?"

Yue Tuo had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he could see at a glance that this place was extremely steep, and he couldn't help but stop and look up at the slopes on both sides.

"Back to Baylor, it's called Eagle's Beak Gorge." Zhang Wanchun nodded and bowed, with a flattering look on his face, full of servile appearance.

"Send your men to search carefully." Yue Tuo said that the place was too steep for him to be cautious.

Zhang Wanchun searched for a while with his men who had just been incorporated into the Han army banner, and after confirming that there was no ambush, Yue Tuo ordered the army to continue to advance.

"How far is it?" Yue Tuo wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and asked, this road is too difficult to walk, the soldiers are tired, and he is out of breath by himself, but no matter how tired he is, he admits it, if the raid on Longjing Pass is successful, it will be a great achievement, and the goal of the Great Khan is Lu Hongniang, the favorite concubine of the Great Tomorrow.

"It's coming, it's five or six miles away." Zhang Wanchun was also so tired that he was panting, but when it came to this, he could only hold on.

"Hmph." Du Du on the side let out an unhappy cold snort, this girl said several times that it was almost there, but after walking for a long time, he didn't reach the ground, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to pull out a knife and chop him up.

"It's really coming, it's almost there, hehe, hehe." Zhang Wanchun nodded and smiled with a smile, and his demeanor was a hundred times more respectful than when he saw his father.

After repeatedly confirming that there were only six or seven miles left, Du Du's face softened, and he made up his mind, if he didn't get out of the trail after walking another six or seven miles, he would be punished by the Great Khan and chop Zhang Wanchun up.

On the top of the steep slope, Yuan Chonghu said to Huang Xiaohu beside him: "That guy is Zhang Wanchun, who joined the army and surrendered.

From a considerable distance, he didn't have to use a telescope to watch, he could recognize Zhang Wanchun from his size alone, Huang Xiaobo held the monocular and looked at it, and ordered two groups of snipers to aim at Zhang Wanchun and Du Du respectively.

It wasn't Huang Xiaobo's negligence that he didn't let the sniper target Yue Tuo, it was because Yue Tuo took off his heavy armor and only wore ordinary clothes, looking like ordinary soldiers or guards, so he was naturally excluded from Huang Xiaohu's primary target, and although Du Du also took off his heavy armor, he was still wearing a rather gorgeous sword suit, which was definitely not something that ordinary soldiers could afford, plus Zhang Wanchun nodded and smiled beside him, it was strange that he was not a boss.

Yue Tuo stood outside the Eagle's Beak Gorge and looked at it for a while, which ordered the army to continue marching, but he did not enter the canyon immediately, but stood still and did not know why, he always had a strange feeling in his heart that he could not speak, and he was a little uneasy.

The first to enter the canyon was the forward of the Jin army, Huang Xiaohu did not give the order to fire except for ordering the sniper to stare at Du Du and Zhang Wanchun, and let the forward army swagger and continue to move forward, patiently waiting for the Chinese army to follow in.

Yue Tuo suddenly thought of something, his face turned pale, and he hissed and shouted, "Stop advancing, stop advancing, quickly retreat, retreat......"

Bang bang –

Two crisp gunshots echoed through the secluded canyon.
