Chapter 223: Ambush

Last time, that is, three years ago, Nie Qingwan personally led the troops to the expedition, and there was no accident on the road, from Huaicheng, the capital of Emperor Dayin, to the border town of Donghammer, no one came to harass him, and no one dared to assassinate or ambush secretly.

But this time, it's different.

Nie Qingwan sent people to keep an eye on the small countries on all sides, and the small countries on all sides would also send dark lines to keep an eye on the Great Yin Empire, especially after knowing that the Queen Mother intended to attack their small countries, the small countries were always on guard against the turmoil in Huaicheng, the capital of the Great Yin Emperor.

Even if the Queen Mother sent troops at night, these small countries still received the letter as soon as possible.

Secretly ambushing to test the strength of the Queen Mother and the soldiers she brought out was a strategy that had been done a long time ago, so Nie Qingwan and his party had just left the realm of Dayin and entered the circle of small countries, and before they could choose a good place to set up camp, they had already been attacked by a wave of unknown enemies.

Yin Xuan heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, squinted his eyes and closed the book, glanced at Nie Qingwan, who was sitting there calmly, and he said loudly, "I'll go out and have a look." “

Nie Qingwan didn't lift her eyelids. He just said without emotion: "No, leave it to them." “

There were 120,000 Dayin soldiers outside, as well as Feng Chang, Yin Tianye, Nie Xifeng, Nie Buwei and Chen Wen, and when the arrows came from all directions, the 120,000 Dayin soldiers immediately took shields to defend.

In addition to Feng Chang, Yin Tianye and Nie Xifeng, as well as Nie Buwei and Chen Wenqi, are all young generals, they are not rich in combat experience, but they have read a lot of books, and they have not read less military books and learned more knowledge in recent years.

After Chen Wen slashed and slashed dozens of arrows, he rushed to Feng Chang and said, "You have to destroy the source." “

Feng Chang said: "There are trees all around, they are hiding in the trees, we don't know what is in the trees, maybe they lure us into the woods." “

Yin Tianye said: "There must be an ambush in the woods. “

Nie Xifeng said: "I will lead the troops to explore the way. “

Nie Buwei glanced at him, and while waving an arrow, he said, "I'll go too." “

Feng Chang glanced at Nie Buwei, then at Nie Xifeng, and was about to speak, when Nie Qingwan's voice came from the carriage: "Fifth Brother and Chen Wen will charge first, and Ninth Brother and Yin Tianye will follow." Feng Chang led the troops on the periphery, whether there was an ambush or not, you also had to take down these people, and you didn't need to stay alive, and they were all killed. “

Several people responded in a deep voice, and led the troops into action.

As soon as those people left, Yin Xuan's 20,000 soldiers, led by Gan Cheng, quickly surrounded the carriage and formed a protective circle.

Yin Xuan sat in the car, silently glanced at Nie Qingwan several times, and then raised his buttocks. sat down beside her.

Nie Qingwan looked sideways at him.

Nie Yin and Ren Ji couldn't help but glance at him.

Yin Xuan pursed his lips, the hand was sneaky for a long time, but he still made up his mind to stretch out, grabbed her waist, and hugged her into his arms.

Seeing that Nie Qingwan was puzzled and glared at him, he whispered, "In this way, no matter where the arrow comes from, I can protect you." “

Nie Qingwan rolled her eyes: "With Ren Ji and my aunt, do you think those arrows can shoot me?" “

Yin Xuan said: "There is also me, of course I will not let that arrow hit you, but the knife and arrow have no eyes, who knows what will happen in a while, it is better to be careful." “

Nie Qingwan said, "I have an aunt. “

Meaning, it's not your turn to hug it.

Yin Xuan raised his head, glanced at Nie Yin, and said softly: "The two of them want to protect the carriage, and they can't share so much energy to protect you, so it's safest to stay in my arms." “

Nie Qingwan pouted.

Nie Yin and Ren Ji both put Nie Qingwan's safety first, at this time, the two of them naturally don't think about anything else, Nie Qingwan has no martial arts, it is indeed easy to get an arrow in such a situation of random arrows, and it is indeed the safest to stay in Yin Xuan's arms, at the beginning, there were soldiers outside swinging arrows for the carriage, but now that the troops are scattered, Ren Ji and Nie Yin are going out to protect the carriage and swing away those arrows that are shooting at the carriage, and there is really no way to protect Nie Qingwan wholeheartedly.

Nie Yin said: "The prince is right, the queen mother, you will stay first." “

With that, she went out.

Ren Ji also went out.

Nie Xifeng and Chen Wenqi and Nie Buwei and Yin Tianye led the troops to rush into the woods, Feng Chang also led the troops to surround them, shouting and killing endlessly, there were indeed many soldiers in ambush in the woods, but as the sound of tearing and killing became more and more intense, the arrows became less and less, during this period Ren Ji and Nie Yin had been guarding outside the carriage, blocking all the arrows that came over.

Yin Xuan sat motionless in the carriage, his ears listening to the movements in all directions, and his arms forcefully wrapped the girl in his arms in his arms, and even her hair was tied in his elbows.

He wouldn't let others hurt her in the slightest, even hair, and he wouldn't allow it.

Nie Qingwan was hugged too tightly by him, uncomfortable, she tugged at his shirt, raised her head and said, "You relax a little, I can't breathe well because of you." “

When Yin Xuan heard this, his arms loosened slightly, and he looked down at her.

Nie Qingwan scattered and looked at him: "What are you nervous about, although I don't have martial arts." But I have hands and feet, and when I really encounter an arrow, I can still run, I'm so clever. “

Yin Xuan was indeed nervous, it was not himself who was nervous, but her.

However, hearing her words, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

He didn't want to tease her, but he couldn't help but tease: "With your little arms and legs, how fast can you run?" “

As he spoke, he deliberately picked up her little arm and gestured at it: "It's small and short." “

Nie Qingwan said: "Don't think that my legs are short and my arms are small, the smaller a person is, the more flexible I am, haven't you heard of it." “

Yin Xuan said: "I've heard it, but it's still very difficult to really do it, an arrow is easy to dodge, and it's hard to dodge if there are too many arrows, so it's safe to stay in my arms." “

Nie Qingwan naturally wouldn't leave his embrace, she found a comfortable position, sat on his lap, reached out to take the book from the table, and looked at it slowly without fear of the wind outside.

Yin Xuan stretched out his hand to hold her waist, looked at her with lowered eyes, smelled the fragrance on her body, and only felt extremely happy at this moment.

Nie Xifeng and Chen Wen led the vanguard troops to rush into the woods, there were indeed many ambushes in the woods, the ambushes were nothing else, all of them were beast traps, it was the season from May to June, the grass in the woods grew extremely luxuriantly, and the beast traps were hidden in the blue grass, almost invisible to the naked eye.

The people who rushed in the previous group were all caught by the beast trap and screamed in pain.

Most of the entire forest is lined up with animal traps, and looking at this posture, it is clear that it has been premeditated for a long time.

Chen Wen's immature face showed a cold murderous aura, and Nie Xifeng's cold face was also frosty, the two of them charged into battle for the first time, even though they read a lot of military books, but there was no real practice, and the last time they also went to try their skills with the Queen Mother, but that time it was Tai Chi, and this time it was a real battle.

They never imagined that the enemy would have such a trick!

The arrows are shot from behind these traps, and the traps are placed in front, one is to sneak up on the enemy who breaks in, and the other is to warn that once the enemy enters here and is caught in the trap, it will inevitably scream in pain. And as soon as this cry comes out, the people behind who release the arrows will hear it, and they will quickly retreat.

Sure enough, when the first wave of soldiers rushed in was caught in the traps, the dense arrows that rained down suddenly stopped, and then there was a sound behind the grass.

Chen Wenqi sneered: "The first time Lao Tzu led the troops to charge, can you let you run?" You ran away, what credit did the old capital take, this is not a shame on the old capital! “

Nie Xifeng also had this consideration, as a charging general, if he lost the best time to capture the enemy, that is, delaying the fighters, even if he defeated them, he would lose face.

Nie Xifeng stretched out his hand and slapped Chen Wen's small shoulder, held the hilt of the sword, and smiled coldly: "Let's be in charge of the assault, do you want to compare, who intercepts more people?" “

Chen Wen slashed the corners of his beautiful eyebrows and raised a cold arc, and said, "That's what I mean." “

After he finished speaking, he raised his breath, and the broadsword took the lead in opening the way, and then his small body rushed out like an arrow.

Nie Xifeng sighed lightly: "Foul, I haven't moved yet, you just ran first." “

Nie Xifeng held the sword with one hand, and he didn't see how he moved, only felt that the green shadow flashed in front of him, and his person disappeared.

Then from behind the grass came the wails of many soldiers.

Some of the soldiers who came with Chen Wenqi and Nie Xifeng were caught in the beast trap, some were not, and all the soldiers who were not caught in the beast trap rushed in, and the soldiers who were caught in the beast trap were dragged out one by one by the soldiers brought by Nie Buwei and Yin Tianye behind, and then helped them untie the beast trap.

When the beasts fell to the ground one by one, making a 'clang' sound one after another, Nie Qingwan pushed Yin Xuan's hand away and rushed outside to ask, "What happened?" “

Nie Yin said through the car window: "The first soldiers who rushed in were caught in the trap. “

As soon as Nie Qingwan heard this, she was about to go out as soon as her feet landed.

Yin Xuan hurriedly got up and lifted the curtain, jumped down first, and then reached out to hug her.

Picking her up, Nie Qingwan said to Ren Ji, "Call Nie Zong over." “

Nie Zong is the person with the best medical skills in the younger generation of the Nie family, and this time Nie Qingwan came out and took him with him, marching and fighting, and the military doctor is very important. Nie Qingwan considered bringing a few more military doctors before leaving, but she always felt that talents had to be imported, not exported, and this time when she went out, she also wanted to recruit some people with medical skills in the people, so she only brought Nie Zong.

I didn't expect it to be used.

Ren Ji listened to the order and immediately went to the marching team behind to call Nie Zong.

Nie Qingwan walked towards the wounded soldiers, she didn't have time to comfort them, and asked Yin Xuan to do it. Nie Qingwan took Nie Yin to see those beast traps.

Nie Yin bent down and took out a beast clip, looked at it for a long time, squatted down again, compared more than a dozen in a row, and then got up and said to Nie Qingwan: "Uniformly prepared, look at this size, it is a beast clip used to hunt large animals." “

Nie Qingwan asked, "How many are there?" “

Nie Yin said, "I don't know. “

Nie Qingwan asked Nie Yin to call someone to count.

After counting, Nie Yin came over and said, "Six hundred." “

Nie Qingwan said: "Six hundred, it's really a lot of work, it seems that it's not that I want to punish them, but they want to punish me. “

Nie Yin said in a calm voice: "The mastermind behind this scene is not a mediocre person. “

Nie Qing smiled: "Of course they are not mediocre people, mediocre people will only be content with the status quo, there is only one kind of person, who is not satisfied with the situation and is whimsical." “

Nie Yin asked, "Who is it?" “

Nie Qingwan said: "The person who digs his own grave is too idle. “

Nie Yin smiled, but saw the six hundred beast traps. She couldn't laugh again.

This beast clip is very standard, 600 of them were made at once, maybe more than that, it is possible that in a certain king, in a certain capital, there are 5,000 or even 50,000 of these beast clips, or there may be other things they can't imagine besides the beast trap.

It is true that the soldiers of Da Yin are good at fighting, but the surrounding small countries are also very good at fighting under the influence of the Da Yin Empire, and the reason why they are weak is not because of insufficient combat power, but because of the small number and small area, they cannot fight against the Da Yin, which is unprecedentedly rich in population and area, but if 120,000 against 120,000, who wins and who loses is really uncertain.

Nie Yin looked at Nie Qingwan and asked, "Which small country did the Queen Mother want to start the war from at first?" “

Nie Qingwan said: "In summer, the south is hot and dry, and the insects and locusts are active, and the south is prone to locust outbreaks in this season, and there have been seven outbreaks of locusts in the past ten years. Three floods, in another month, this historical locust plague will come again, and the flooding will also come, so go to the south and send them charcoal in the snow to see if they want charcoal or snow. “

Nie Yin said, "So the first country you're going to is leaving?" “

Nie Qingwan said: "Adjacent to Fengqiu, the smallest country in the country, Fengqiu is the haunt of locusts, and the locusts in Fengqiu are suppressed, are they afraid that when they conquer the country, their people will resist?" Auntie, it's easy to kill, but it's hard to retract, sometimes you don't need to rely on force to destroy a country, you don't need to rely on killing, one charcoal is enough. “

After Nie Qingwan finished speaking, she went to see the wounded soldiers.

Nie Zong has already come, there are a lot of soldiers, Yin Tianye and Nie Buwei have led the troops to help Nie Xifeng and Chen Wen, Feng Chang led the troops to surround the periphery of the entire forest, and came out to kill one by one, so at this time, it was Yin Xuan's soldiers who stayed in place to help the injured soldiers bandage.

Gan Cheng took the lead.

After Yin Xuan came, he also joined the ranks of bandaging the wounds of the wounds.

Gan Cheng said: "Your Highness, we can just come to these things, you don't need to do it yourself." “

Yin Xuan ignored him, just took the soldier's injured foot, looked at it seriously, and looked at it several times, only then did it confirm that there was no poison, Yin Xuan felt strange, this kind of beast trap is a large beast trap, and if you want to use this beast trap to hunt large prey, experienced hunters will smear anesthetic on the beast trap to anesthetize the beast, and then kill it easily.

Judging from the wounds of the soldiers, it seems that there is really no anesthetic.

Yin Xuan went to ask Nie Zong, and Nie Zong also said that the soldiers were only injured and not poisoned.

Yin Xuan went to tell Nie Qingwan about the situation, and Nie Qingwan said: "This sneak attack is just a test of our combat strength, and they will adjust their strategy in a timely manner according to the results of this sneak attack." This time there was no anesthetic on the trap, maybe next time, this time the trap was buried in the woods, maybe the next time, it was buried on our march. “

Nie Qingwan looked down at the soil under her feet: "Every place on the battlefield may be a dead hole. “

Yin Xuan was startled and reached out to hug her.

Nie Qingwan smiled and blocked his hand: "This place is safe, I'm just telling you, it's easy to talk about on paper, but it's difficult to actually fight." She turned her head back to look at the soldiers who were unable to stand upright, who had been caught between them. said: "With this lesson, you will have experience in the next charge." “

The people hiding behind the woods were wearing the clothes of the mountain villager, but inside the clothes of the mountain villager, they were wearing the armor worn by the soldiers, which could block the general invulnerability, but it was useless to meet the master.

There were not many of them, about a thousand, there was no commander, all of them were archers.

Nie Qingwan ordered not to leave anything alive. Therefore, Chen Wenqi and Nie Xifeng, as well as Nie Buwei and Yin Tianye, did not show mercy to his subordinates, including Feng Chang, and did not show mercy to his subordinates.

The Queen Mother doesn't need to know who these people are, so they don't need to ask.

After completely annihilating these sneak attack enemy troops, several generals came back covered in blood, and the soldiers also came back one after another, annihilating 1,000 people with 100,000 people, which was a piece of cake, although many soldiers were caught in the traps of beasts and were injured. But there are still far more soldiers on our side than there are enemy soldiers.

When the five people came back, Nie Qingwan glanced at them and saw that they were covered in blood, and her beautiful brows frowned slightly.

Chen Wen frowned at her, pushed the knife to the ground, and said to her, "It's all the blood of the enemy, and I'm not injured." “

Nie Qingwan walked over, looked at the blood on his face, and stole out the handkerchief to wipe him.

This treatment is only available to him and Yin Xuan, because he is the youngest.

Nie Xifeng, Nie Buwei and Yin Tianye can't enjoy such treatment.

In Nie Qingwan's eyes, these young generals are all her children, but if there are too many children, they can't take care of them, and the elders in each family take special care of the youngest children, so Nie Qingwan also takes special care of Yin Xuan and Chen Wenqi.

Seeing that Nie Qingwan was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on his face, Chen Wen's eyes lit up, and a grin appeared at the corner of his mouth, he is nine years old this year, and she is thirteen years old this year, but the two of them are about to be tall, but Nie Qingwan's hand is about to reach over, Chen Wenshu still lowered his head and stretched out his hand to her.

Nie Qingwan carefully wiped Chen Wen's blood with a handkerchief, and said, "Don't splash the blood on your face next time, it's unlucky." “

Chen Wenshu looked at her and said with a smile: "Hmm." “

Yin Xuan stood behind, watching this scene, the two hands hanging by his side clenched for no reason, he thought of the last time on the mountain path, he came back covered in blood, she also wiped his blood so gently and seriously, he thought that this treatment was only for him, but he didn't expect that Chen Wenqi could also enjoy it.

In her heart, they are all the same, they are all swords in her hands, and they are all sharp blades that she wants to take care of.

Even if he is the crown prince, it is no different at all.

The reason why he can eat at the same table with her and read books in the same carriage is not because he is him, but because he is the crown prince, if Chen Wenqi is the prince, the person who enjoys all this will be Chen Wenqi.

Yin Xuan lowered his eyes, all the happiness that came because of her was shattered like that, he turned around and went to help Nie Zong apply the medicine and wrap the soldiers to bandage.

Set off again, sitting in the carriage and reading a book, he will no longer be close to Nie Qingwan.

He knew that he was just a prince who could be supported by her, nothing more, what was he still longing for, what he was faintly longing for in his heart that even he didn't know, he didn't know, he didn't need to know, he just did what his prince should do.
