Chapter 174, Ambush Trap
As Yajun expected, after the accident between the ancient city and Jincheng overnight, everyone began to panic, especially Ye Qing, the city lord of Liangcheng, rushed to the military camp outside the city early in the morning and took out the letter of help from the ancient city.
There was silence in the camp commander's tent, and the one sitting on the top was a middle-aged woman named Xiao Zhi, who had been stationed in the desert border for more than a generation, and this matter should have been done by Lou Yajun, who knew that the emperor did not treat her as his own at first, so he handed it over to Xiao Zhi.
After reading the letter, Xiao Zhi had anger in her eyes, thinking that someone dared to make trouble under her nose, how could she not be angry?
City Lord Ye Qing said with an anxious face: "General Xiao, what should I do if something happens to the other two cities overnight?" The ancient city for help, we also saw it, do you want to support the ancient city? That Wind King is too arrogant, sooner or later he will attack our Liang Cheng, should we give her a little color? ”
"The letter said that the army that besieged the city last night was only 50,000 horses." Xiao Zhi muttered, but when he talked about it, he looked at the other two women and said, "Guan Tong, Mu Qing, what do you think about this?" ”
The woman named Guan Tong stood up and said: "The last general thinks that the Wind King is not to be afraid, Lonely Moon City has been under our noses for so many years, and there are not many soldiers at all, we know this best, these 50,000 soldiers and horses may also pour out!" ”
Mu Qing took over disapprovingly: "General Guan's words are wrong, it is precisely because Lonely Moon City has been under our noses for many years, and we can still hide the army privately, this is the most terrifying thing about the Wind King, this person is extremely deep in the city, and the 50,000 horses that attacked the ancient city last night are estimated to be only a small part of the Lou Chopping Army, and the other Lou Chopping Army is still stationed in Guyue City!" In the end, I think that we should raze the Lonely Moon City to prevent long nights and dreams! ”
Guan Tong sneered disdainfully: "Lonely Moon City is not far from us, we know best what has happened in Lonely Moon City for so many years, even if she Feng King privately recruits troops, we won't have no rumors at all, right?" ”
"But the Wind King does have an army in his hands now! How can this matter be solved? Could it be that it fell from the sky? Mu Qing glared at her and said unconvinced.
"Enough! Shut up. Xiao Zhi saw that the two of them were arguing more and more in front of Ye Qing, an outsider, and felt that they had lost face, and shouted angrily with an embarrassed face, "A few days ago, the princess of Kyoto sent a letter, it is necessary for us to find out how many people are in the hands of the Wind King, and this general has also sent many people to Lonely Moon City, but no one has come back, I am afraid that the Lonely Moon City is extremely complicated, since it is dark, then let's go and investigate it openly!" ”
Mu Qing and the two turned their heads in shock: "What does the general mean?" ”
Xiao Zhi's eyes flashed with excitement, she had been stationed here for too long, if she could eradicate the big tumor of the Wind King, if the emperor was happy, he would allow herself to go back to Kyoto to enjoy happiness and never have to stay in this place where birds don't anymore!
"Guan Tong, General Ben ordered you to immediately bring 30,000 horses to support the ancient city! Let's go now, without further ado! ”
"No, the last general will take the order." Guan Tong glared at Mu Qing and withdrew from the tent, Ye Qing on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he went to support, although there were only 30,000 horses, but it was enough to do enough in terms of human feelings, after all, her Liang Cheng was the most important.
"Mu Qing obeys the order, General Ben ordered you to take 70,000 horses to rush to Lonely Moon City before the afternoon, Lonely Moon City will be open to desert people during the day, you take the opportunity to lead the troops to attack and explore the truth!" Xiao Zhi was full of confidence, as if he had seen the picture of defeating the Wind King and breaking through Lonely Moon City, with a smile on his face.
Ye Qing stepped forward hesitantly, and said hesitantly: "General Xiao, you have transferred a total of 100,000 people, and there are only 50,000 people left in the barracks, what should I do if something happens then?" ”
"Don't worry, Da Mo is going to marry my dynasty recently, and he won't come to commit it recently." Xiao Zhi looked down at the map without raising his head, "And Lonely Moon City is the biggest internal trouble now, if General Ben doesn't find out how many soldiers there are under the Wind King, the emperor will definitely blame General Ben if something happens in the future!" Therefore, it is most suitable for Mu Qing to bring 70,000 horses, no more, no less. ”
Ye Qing saw that she was full of confidence, so she stopped persuading, but she always felt that it was too inappropriate to leave only 50,000 horses to garrison the military land, so she shook her head and returned to Liangcheng.
Gan Toad and Tie Lan set up many traps and ambushes on the trail level, lurking on the hillside, with a weed-made hat on their heads, and only two eyes were shining in the direction of Liangcheng.
Tie Lan touched the dry toad with her arm and said in a low voice, "Hey, do you think that woman from Xiaozhi will send someone to attack our Lonely Moon City?" ”
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhi that woman made a mistake before she was put here by the emperor to guard the border, killing our master can make a first-class merit and let the emperor let her go back to Kyoto, she will definitely send troops directly without thinking about it!" The dry toad looked ahead without changing his color, and explained clearly to Tie Lan.
Tielan chuckled: "You know Xiao Zhi clearly. ”
Gan Toad glanced at her: "I have been living under the surveillance of the sky for so many years, of course, I have to understand clearly in order to win a hundred battles, don't speak!" Hush. Her face tightened, she leaned her ears on the ground, felt the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and made a gesture to everyone, "The enemy army is approaching, about 50,000 people, everyone get ready!" ”
After a while, Mu Qing really appeared in the eyes of everyone with someone, but he just stopped, sat on horseback and looked around: "Why does General Ben think that this place is a little too quiet?" ”
Mu Qing was cautious and cautious, another way of saying it was that she was timid and afraid, and the soldiers who followed her naturally knew that although she was too cautious in her heart, she still stepped forward and smiled: "General, this is a small road, sparsely populated, quiet and natural. ”
Mu Qing looked at the ground and didn't find anything wrong, so he felt that he was too careful, and shouted loudly: "Keep going!" ”
With her words, Tie Lan's heart was also relieved, for fear that she would turn around and leave.
Drive! Mu Qing whipped and continued to hurry, because most of the people in front of him were riding horses in a hurry, and only a few people were running behind, so when Mu Qing stepped on the hollowed out trap and fell in, the people who followed behind did not have time to pull in the reins and also fell.
The pit was very large, and many people fell into it, and there were a lot of sharp bamboos inserted in it, and they screamed again and again for a while.
"There is an ambush, back off!" Mu Qing drank loudly, watching his horseback bamboo piercing, his heart palpitated, if it penetrated her body, it would... Just thinking about it makes me scared for a while.
"Throw the stick!" Tielan's deep voice sounded, and the soldiers pushed down the hillside with the wooden sticks that had been prepared long ago, and smashed the Liangcheng army, falling in large pieces, preventing many people from retreating.
