Chapter 364: Ambush
Zhao Jia looked at the soldiers who rushed out of the north city gate, those soldiers were all wearing armor, and under the reflection of the firelight, they were all fierce and vicious, and in Zhao Jia's eyes, they looked like fierce ghosts!
And the word "Wei" clearly visible on the armor made Zhao Jia unable to stand. These are not the guards of Shao County, but the Lingnan Guard! Lingnan Wei soldiers, aren't they stationed in Nanhai County? From here in Shaoxian, there is also a Guangzhou Mansion in the middle, why did it suddenly appear here?
Fooled! Ambush!
Looking at the Lingnan Guard soldiers who were still pouring out, Zhao Jia suddenly realized this, and immediately shouted: "The clansmen listen to the order, withdraw!" Evacuate! ”
But it's too late! Just when the soldiers rushed out at the north gate, in the northeast and northwest directions, the sky was also lit up with firelight, and the sound of killing shook the sky. These soldiers copied the South Vietnamese from Sanbaan!
Ah Qi and Shi Zuo, among the South Vietnamese people, looked at the soldiers who had rushed in front of them, and they couldn't believe it. They could only raise their weapons in their hands to resist the attack of the soldiers, fighting and retreating.
Originally, only in terms of bravery, the Nanyue people and the Lingnan Wei soldiers were on par. But just when the Nanyue people wanted to attack the city, these Lingnan guards rushed out, and the number of them and the fierceness of the battle exceeded the expectations of the Nanyue people.
This change suddenly happened, the Nanyue people could only resist, and their morale almost disappeared, while the Lingnan Wei soldiers were unstoppable, they were like a sharp knife, inserted into the more than 20,000 Nanyue people.
"Lord! Evacuate! Our Highness! Seeing that these soldiers were getting closer and closer to Zhao Jia, Shi shouted with his teeth cracked, and then killed the approaching soldiers, and quickly approached Zhao Jia, wanting to protect him from leaving.
At this time, a sentence came from the city wall: "Stone chief! Thank you very much! Fortunately, you led the Nanyue people to come and made a great contribution! There will be a lot of rewards in the court! ”
This sentence is powerful and powerful, and both warring sides have heard it.
Zhao Jia and Shi were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is a discordant plan! It is impossible for Shi to betray the Nanyue clan, and it is impossible to know that there is an ambush here, and Shaoxian wants Shi Zhu's life.
Zhao Jia and Shi could figure out the trick, but the angry Nanyue people couldn't figure it out, especially those clansmen fell one by one, and the hatred in their hearts was stimulated to the maximum. Especially Ah Qi, who has always been hot, didn't think about it, jumped a few times, and came to Shi Qi's side.
"You ......" Looking at the sharp knife inserted into his chest, Shi was about to say something, but he had already fallen straight down. Aqi's resourcefulness is not as good as Shi Zhu, but his martial arts are much better.
"Ahh Traitor! After seeing the stone fall, Aqi spat and said disdainfully.
Zhao Jia fell down when he saw Shi, and secretly hated the viciousness of Shaoxian, and even came to this trick to kill people with a knife. But the soldiers of Lingnan Wei were getting closer and closer, and at this critical moment, it was no longer his turn to think about it. Finding a way to break out of this siege and save your life is the most important thing!
There are offensives on three sides, and now, you can only retreat, as long as you enter the deep mountains of Nanling, you and your people will be safe. This is Zhao Jia's idea, and it is also the idea of all the South Vietnamese people. All the tribesmen of South Vietnam are fighting and retreating.
However, the soldiers of Lingnan Wei were too close to them, they couldn't retreat at all, and the baggage and other things were scattered behind them, no matter whether they resisted or retreated, they couldn't stop Lingnan Wei's crazy offensive, and they couldn't form an army.
The outcome of this battle speaks for itself.
Except for Zhao Jia who successfully escaped from the encirclement with more than 100 clansmen, the more than 20,000 Nanyue tribesmen were completely different from when they came, they were either captured or killed, and their fate was in the hands of the Lingnan Wei soldiers.
Xu Maofeng rode a horse and came out of the city gate, looking at the mess in the place, he looked at the direction of Zhao Jia's escape, but he didn't feel much frustration, but showed a smile. Presumably, Shen Zegao was there, and he was not too impatient to wait, right?
Let's say that Zhao Jia and Ah Qi took more than 100 clansmen and rushed to the direction of Nanling. These more than 100 people are the strongest martial arts in the clan, and Zhao Jia and Ah Qi themselves are not weak, and the chasing soldiers behind them are thrown farther and farther away by them.
However, they did not dare to stop, because they knew that only by escaping into the mountains of Nanling could they be truly safe.
Twenty miles, ten miles, five miles, four miles...... Nanling is getting closer and closer, as long as you cross the Sanli Pavilion in front, you are already on the edge of Nanling.
Sanli Pavilion, as the name suggests, is still three miles away from Nanling. There are road merchants who have passed through and raised funds to build a small pavilion here for passers-by to rest, which is the only place to enter Nanling from Shao County.
At this moment, there is a tense atmosphere here in Sanliting. The dim moonlight does not reflect the human figure, only the chirping of insects in April, and it seems that the trembling in the air can be felt.
Zhao Jia and Ah Qi, as well as more than 100 clansmen, are getting closer and closer to Sanli Pavilion. Suddenly, Zhao Jia and Ah Qi stopped, and then followed behind the clansmen. Their hearts trembled, as if they felt some great danger.
Suddenly, in the chirping of Queensland, a slight "hiss" sound sounded, as if something had pierced the air and shot straight into the front of the Nanyue people, only to hear the Nanyue people snort, and he fell to the ground, his left chest, with a sharp arrow inserted!
The black feather at the end of the arrow was still trembling slightly, which showed the speed of the shot and the intensity of the attack.
Immediately, more "hissing" sounds sounded, and those sharp arrows not only came from the front, but came from all directions, and shot into the South Vietnamese people one by one in a violent posture.
In an instant, several of the clansmen were filled with bows and arrows; Bows and arrows came from all directions, but they had no way to shield them, and they could only wave the swords in their hands and shoot down these bows and arrows, and they could only use the bodies of their clansmen as cover for each other.
The killing was still going on, and no matter how strong the skills of these hundred or so clans were, they couldn't break free from this rain of arrows at this moment. Those bows and arrows are still shooting at them. Zhao Jiahe, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, was Ah Qi, who had never felt that death was so close!
When they set off to Shao County with the Nanyue people, they also thought about the feeling of death, but what they thought about was the feeling of death of the people of Shao County after entering Shao County. The thought of such a death makes them feel a deep sense of joy.
They also thought that the officials of Shaoxian County and Guangzhou Mansion might still be waiting on the road of Guangzhou Prefecture, waiting for them to enter the ambush.
But at this moment, it was his own side that was caught in an ambush with bows and arrows! And in the dark night, Zhao Jia and Ah Qi couldn't see the person who fired the bow and arrow at all, they only felt that the bow and arrow seemed to be non-stop.
This was a siege with a huge disparity in strength, and the clansmen gathered around Zhao Jia and Ah Qi fell one by one, and even Zhao Jia and Ah Qi were hit by an arrow in their arms.
Gradually, the density of the bow and arrow weakened, and finally, it actually stopped. At this time, in front of the Sanli Pavilion, only Zhao Jia and Ah Qi were standing, and there were more than a dozen Nanyue people.
However, even when the rain of arrows stopped, they stood and did not move their feet and run. Although the distance between Nanling and Nanling was so close, Zhao Jia and Ah Qi both knew that even if they were only one step away, they would not be able to enter Nanling again.
A few steps away, between life and death.
When the bows and arrows stopped shooting, in front of them, standing a large group of soldiers. These soldiers were all holding bows and arrows in their hands, facing Zhao Jia and Aqi, and standing in front of these soldiers was Shen Zegao, who was supposed to rush to Guangzhou Mansion!
Shen Zegao stood there with a smile on his face, in Zhao Jia's opinion, it was extremely dazzling.
"How did you come up with that? Will I raid Shaoxian? Seeing Shen Zegao smiling like this, Zhao Jia said such a sentence with difficulty. The feeling of dying has dissipated. At this moment, Zhao Jia calmed down.
At this time, what he felt was not the proximity of death, but a deep incomprehension.
The news about the dissatisfaction of the three major leaders of the Nanyue clan has long been spread, and Shi Zuo's ambition is also clear in the peace talks, and there is even more Shi Zuo and the Shen family's plan. According to the assumption, at this moment, Shen Zegao and the guards of Shao County have been transferred out of Shao County, how can there be Lingnan Guards there?
The Shen family sent Shen Kaishan to make secret contact with Shi, and also provided the defense of Guangzhou Zhechong Mansion, and also agreed with Shi to make joint meritorious contributions on the fourth day of the fourth month of April.
He thought that this plan was done quietly, and he also thought that Shen Zegao would definitely discuss with Zhechong Mansion to defeat South Vietnam on the Guangzhou Mansion Road, but why did Shen Zegao appear here?
"The Great Chief's plan is perfect, and I almost fell for it. First of all, Shi will be tempted to believe that Shi will really take the big leader to Guangzhou Mansion...... If it weren't for the fact that we happened to know the relationship between Shi and the big leader, maybe Shao County would have been in the hands of the big leader at this moment. ”
Shen Zegao was not domineering in his words, but had a faint admiration. Although Zhao Jia was defeated, this battle strategy was indeed very well set. If it weren't for Shen Ning and Ying Nantu coming to Lingnan, maybe they would have been fooled.
He didn't expect that Zhao Jia would be like that!
"If I didn't happen to know the true identity of the big leader, maybe I would have been deceived by the big leader and Shi Yi. At that time, the Zhao royal family in Lingnan was only the bloodline of the big chief, right? Shen Zegao smiled slightly, and the words he said made Zhao Jia's eyes widen!
This is something that surprises Zhao Jia more than Shen Zegao appearing here, and it is also something that is even more unacceptable than near-death. How could Shen Zegao know about this secret?
