The pioneer said unquestionably: "There are more than a dozen of us who have passed together, and besides, if there is an ambush, I believe it will not be mistaken!" ”

Xianzhen walked out of the carriage and shouted: "Come, give orders, rest in place!" ”

After a while, someone had already led Xianzhen's beloved horse over, Xianzhen grabbed the reins, patted the horse gently, turned over on the horse, and said, "Let's go, let's go and see!" ”

At this time, Ouyang Qian had already come out of the carriage, walked over, and asked, "Little worm, is something wrong?" "After all, it is a person who has lived in danger for many years, and his sense of danger is far sharper than that of ordinary people.

Yun Zhonglong said with a little worry: "It may be a little troublesome, and I am about to go over and take a look." ”

Ouyang Qian pretended to be coquettish and said, "Wait for me for a while, I'll go too!" With that, he came to the carriage and whispered a few words to the second girl inside, and then found his own red horse, and caught up with Xianzhen and the others side by side with Yunzhonglong.

After a while, they came to a 'human' intersection, and they were on the 'human' side, converging with the front of another road.

The place where the pioneer said that there was an ambush was in the woods on either side of the main road where the two roads converged. The trees here are high and the forests are thick, and it is a necessary place for two roads, so it is indeed a good place for ambush.

I saw that the woods in front of me were unusually quiet, but occasionally birds were startled.

Xian Zhen said worriedly: "There is not only an ambush ahead, it is estimated that there are nearly five or six thousand men and horses, and it is not comparable to ordinary bandits, it is very likely to be the army of a certain country." I just don't know where it is sacred? ”

Yun Zhonglong said calmly: "Since this is the case, I think we should wait and see!" ”

Xianzhen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Hmm! That's the only way to do it! Feng'er, you lead people to keep an eye on this place and watch their every move. We went back and strengthened our vigilance, hoping that we would be safe. ”

A few people were left to watch, and everyone else returned to the queue. Tell the people to rest well and recharge their energy for the possible and fierce battles that will be facing.

Ouyang Qian and the second daughter talked about the situation ahead, but they were not worried, it seemed that as long as they could be with their husbands, they could spend their lives no matter where they were.

The sky is getting darker, and the deep forest seems to hide endless killing opportunities. The road was a little frighteningly quiet, like a moment of calm before the storm.

Suddenly, a ride came to break the dull silence, and it was the pioneer who was watching in front.

The dragon heart in the clouds said: It's finally here! What should come is coming!

As soon as the curtain of the carriage in front was lifted, the first man had already walked out. Apparently he was resting, but he was always paying attention.

The pioneer said in surprise: "Things have changed, maybe the target of the other party's ambush is not us, but someone else!" ”

Yun Zhonglong was slightly suspicious: "Is there anyone still going to pass through here?" ”

The pioneer nodded, "Exactly, we just found out that on another road, a large group of people appeared. However, they are also very vigilant, and they are already camping not far from the intersection of roads. ”

Xian Zhen thought about it and sighed: "Now that the enemy and I are unknown, let's wait and see what happens, and set up camp in the mountains first." ”

The hour is approaching dusk, and once you retreat, and the enemy is dozens of times your own, trailing, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by the enemy, and it is inevitable that you will be outnumbered, and it is likely that the whole army will be annihilated.

The people set up camp in the mountains, and sent five groups of twenty people as sentry posts, responsible for observing the movements of all the people around them. In addition, two barriers were set up in front of the camp to prevent anyone from attacking.

The pioneer was about to lead the people to leave, and Yunzhong Long rode his horse and said, "Big brother, I will also accompany you over to see the situation." ”

The pioneer laughed: "Zi'er, are they willing to let you pass?" "Since the four of them got engaged, Qiuyue Xianzi Ouyang Qian's three daughters have never left their husbands all day long. The dragon in the cloud has this glamorous blessing, and he really envy others.

Yun Zhonglong smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Qian originally wanted to come with her, but I didn't promise her, Zi'er and they just told me to be careful, so they didn't say anything." ”

The two rode up a small hill together, and saw a flat river in front of them, which was very broad. An old avenue leading into the woods is another fork in the road.

The view here is wide and there is no way to avoid it, but in the forest it is difficult to see people, and both roads are the only way, which is really an excellent point for ambush interception.

Suddenly, more than 20 people came out between the woods on the side, faintly surrounding the two. Since neither of them was riding a horse, for a while, neither of them was even aware.

The dragon in the cloud and the pioneer glanced at each other, but they didn't take each other seriously, they first looked at who the other party was.

One of those people came out with a leader, and saw two tall horses, one white and one black, carrying a thousand miles of good horses. Looking at the person on the horse, he is the dragon among people, and the momentum is compelling, which makes people dare not face it. Facing the subordinates who were holding weapons and waiting for them, he said, "Put down your weapons first!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were facing each other with their own weapons or treating each other politely, they all looked calm and right, and they didn't dare to underestimate it. couldn't help but ask: "Please forgive me for being rude, dare to ask who these two are?" ”

Yun Zhonglong couldn't help but say: "Hit the soy sauce!" ”

Not to mention that those who came out of the forest are pioneers who have been with each other for a long time, and I don't know what it means.

Seeing their expressions, Yun Zhonglong hurriedly corrected: "This is the local dialect of my hometown, which means passing by." ”

The pioneer originally wanted to ask him, where is his hometown, how he doesn't know where the Jin Kingdom is, there is such a local dialect. However, this is an extraordinary time, so I have to keep silent.

When the man heard this, he suddenly said, "I don't know the two of you, where are you going?" ”

When the Pioneer thought about it, he knew that these people must be spies passing by those people. Then he said: "Where are we going, it seems to have nothing to do with you, right?" ”

The man smiled slightly: "That's true, please forgive me for taking the liberty of going down!" ”

The two dragon pioneers in the clouds, seeing that there was nothing to see, turned the horse's head and wanted to leave.

The man hurriedly stood in front of the horse, and when he saw that the vanguard wanted to draw his sword, he said, "Don't misunderstand, please wait a minute!" ”

Long Yun in the clouds said lightly: "What do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, let's just listen!" ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't leave immediately, the man said: "I can't hide it, I am the left wing of the deputy general of the Chu State, and this time I want to escort Chu Ji to the Qi State." ”

When Yun Zhonglong heard this, he said softly: "Oh, it turned out to be a general, I don't know what to do to stop me and the other two?" ”

Zuo Yi said calmly: "Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, if you think the two young heroes, they must also go to Qi Country, right?" "Originally, there were two roads, but they converged into one in front of them, and this one was going in the direction of Qi State.

Yun Zhonglong neither admitted nor denied it, and said, "Even so, so what? ”

The left wing smiled and said: "Since they have different paths to the same destination, why don't you walk together, you can have a care on the road!" ”

Yun Zhonglong didn't expect him to say this, you must know that the people in front of you are the ones who have to deal with them, and you really don't have to wade into this troubled water. I had to say: "The general's good intentions, we understand it, there are many female dependents in the team, and the peers are only afraid of inconvenience, so we will leave!" After that, the horses and pioneers were about to return to the camp.

Seeing that the two of them rejected their proposal, the left wing was also expected, and seeing that it was getting late, he immediately led his people back to the camp.

Suddenly, the front was dusty, and a large number of people and horses emerged in the forest, looking at the past, a large area of black pressure, I am afraid that there are nearly tens of thousands of people, even if there is none, I am afraid that there are more than 8,000.

Although they were dressed like bandits, the whole team was scattered, but there were many people but there was no chaos at all, and the discipline was stricter than that of ordinary troops, so many people did not make a sound.

At a glance at the left wing, they knew that it was not good, the other party was at least four times more numerous than their own, and they were all capable soldiers, and this time they were even more at ease, and their own side had traveled thousands of miles from Chu to here, with only nearly 2,000 people, and the team of dowry, and the entire escort team was about 1,500 people. Here is another flat river, there is no danger to defend, and the situation is really critical.

The dragon vanguard in the cloud was about to return to the camp, so as not to attack the enemy, but he didn't want the enemy, but before it was completely dark, he poured out of the nest.

Obviously, they had drawn up a battle plan for a long time, and the goal of this operation was also very clear. Looking at their appearance, I don't know which country's army it is, according to what the person said just now, if they really want to escort someone to marry the Marquis of Qi, then, it seems that they want to destroy the Chuqi Alliance.

According to this inference, it is most likely that the Qin and Jin people who want to dominate, and the Song people who have enmity with the Chu State and also want to dominate.

However, the people of the Qin State are relatively easy to recognize, and there is such a big country as the Jin State in the middle, which seems to be excluded. And the Song people, whether they are strong or courageous, may not be so powerful.

Just when he was thinking in his heart, a general walked out of the crowd on the other side, waved his hand, and immediately led about 1,000 people and horses, including more than 100 horsemen, and the others were all foot soldiers; Galloping to the left, it is in the direction of the Xian's camp.

The dragon in the cloud and the vanguard were taken aback, and the two galloped towards the camp, but they followed behind the other party's men.

In this way, if they really want to attack the camp, the two of them can surprise and attack from their rear.

At this time, the two of them were less than 200 steps away from each other, only to find that most of the other party's men and horses had undergone simple disguises, which confirmed his guess even more that these people were indeed soldiers, not bandits.

Soon, the other party's men and horses arrived at the gate of the Xian's camp, and they were scattered and surrounded on three sides, but they left the direction from which the Xian's Villa came. Obviously, the other party is not trying to catch them all, but is just dragging them down here.

I saw that at the gate of the camp, Xianzhen was dressed in a black long robe, and under the escort of a group of family guards, he came to the front and said loudly to the leader: "In the next Xianzhen, I don't know who you are driving?" ”

The leader was actually wearing a black cloth, and when he heard it, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "I have admired the name for a long time, and I am reckless in the next one, and the cheap name is not enough to worry about!" ”

Seeing that he didn't want to reveal his name, he didn't care, and then said: "Your Excellency, what do you mean by blocking my way!" ”

The leader said, "The road ahead is a bit rough, so please stay here for one more day!" ”

When Yun Zhonglong heard this, his heart moved, could it be that these people are Jin people, otherwise how would they know about Xianzhen, and they seem to be quite polite to him.

Suddenly, a resounding shout of killing sounded behind the two.

Yun Zhonglong said to the vanguard: "It seems that these people are not hostile to us, their target is those Chu people. ”

The pioneer nodded, thoughtful, and said, "What should I do?" ”

Yun Zhonglong thought for a while and said, "You definitely can't go back now, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding and big trouble!" Let's go over there and see how things are going! ”

The pioneer nodded, turned the horse's head, and with a slight clamp of his legs, the horse flew out like a fly.

The dragon in the cloud did not hesitate, twisted the horse's head, and shouted softly, "Drive!" The 'dark cloud' ran out like lightning, and after a while, he caught up with the vanguard in front.

It is different from the confrontation between the two armies in front of the Xian's camp, but they do not offend each other.

Here, it has already killed people on their backs. From a distance, I saw that in front of the Chu people's camp, they had been killed.

The general of the Chu people is a middle-aged man, with a handsome face, elegant and generous, and he is the general of the Chu State, and this person is the younger brother of the famous general Ziyu of the Chu State, and he is also very good.

At that time, the Ling Yin (Prime Minister) of the Chu State was still an old Ziwen, and in 637 BC, he said goodbye to the old man and recommended Ziyu, who had outstanding military achievements, as Ling Yin.

Although the enemy was taken by surprise and his strength was twice as large as his own, in such a short period of time, he actually laid out such a simple camp that could accommodate nearly 2,000 people, and also set up two lines of defense.

The outside is a formation of cars, with wooden fences, set up according to the mountain, and slowly extends to the mountain in a semicircle; The second line of defense was to repair a short wall half a mile long based on the geographical advantage.

Although it was too short to form a fortress, it also had a certain deterrent power, otherwise the opponent's more than 2,000 cavalry alone would be able to level them in one fell swoop.

From the layout of the Chu people's camp, it can be seen that the person who leads the troops must be a veteran of the battlefield; And from the speed of the arrangement, it can also be seen that the discipline of the Chu army is strict, and its combat effectiveness is extraordinary, which cannot be underestimated.

At this time, in the Chu people's tent, the marrying general's son room looked around the tent, and more than ten subordinate generals around him said: "I can't imagine that they dare to be so bold, it seems that they want to leave us all here."

In fact, Ben General has already sent people to the Qi country to ask for help, as long as we can hold out until the Qi people arrive, we can save the day. ”

Seeing that the enemy is powerful, although he knows that distant water can't quench his thirst, at least he has a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.

The generals under him said one after another: "Swear to follow the general!" ”

The ovary ordered loudly: "Good! Now everyone can go out first and prepare to meet the enemy, the left flank, the two generals of the zodiac stay! Suddenly, all the generals bowed down and left the tent, leaving only the general's son, the deputy general's left wing, and Huang Dao.

Only then did the ovary say in a deep voice: "At present, the enemy is strong, and most of them can't wait for the rescue of Qi people." We can't put all our hopes on others, for the princess, for the Chuqi Alliance, for the hegemony of the Chu State, now we will hand over a difficult task to the two of you! ”
