Chapter 288: Ambush

"Lost again?" Seeing that Jingrui came back, Zhao Yulong helped him hold the horse: "How did you lose?"

At this time, Jing Rui had already dismounted, and Zhao Yulong looked at each other and pretended to be very unwilling and said: "Originally, I would not have been defeated, but this weapon is really not good, and it was actually broken on the battlefield, otherwise the enemy's head has already been hung on my spear, and I knew that I should not underestimate the enemy, and it would be good to take out my spear directly." ”

Speaking of the word light enemy, Jing Rui deliberately amplified his voice so that the soldiers in the entire barracks could hear it. This was naturally arranged by Zhao Yulong, in order to make these soldiers understand.

Now that these soldiers have heard this, they can see that the god of war in their hearts has been defeated because of the light enemy, but now they are more restrained, and they do not have the arrogance of despising the enemy before. Coupled with the accounts of the soldiers who went with them, the whole barracks now naturally knew about it.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Yulong gathered all the soldiers together and said, "Tell you a very unfortunate thing, our vanguard general Jing Rui lost the battle with the enemy general just now. Fortunately, the enemy general was busy dealing with the flying spear, and Jing Rui got out proudly. This should have been a winning situation, but now you have to face defeat again, do you know why?"

"It seems to be because the general's gun broke. These soldiers have always been unpredictable about Zhao Yulong's temper, so now they are only timid to say a few words.

"Do you know why his gun broke? It was all because he despised the enemy and failed to bring out his best gun. So I hope that this will not happen again in my troops, and that when I encounter the enemy, I will be cheered up, and I will not be despised for others, understand?"

"Understood!" In this way, these soldiers understood what Zhao Yulong wanted to express.

Then, Zhao Yulong deliberately turned his head to look at Jing Rui: "The guilty general Jing Rui, because you underestimated the enemy, delayed the fighter plane, and lowered morale." Therefore, Ben will punish you for the task of luring the enemy, can you accept it?"

"The last general has ordered! The soldiers before me have come to me, and I need a thousand soldiers to follow. After saying that, Jingrui got on the horse again, and headed towards Pingqiu Pass again.

Jing Rui's appeal in the army is naturally unparalleled, so as soon as the words fell, half of the entire team trotted behind Jing Rui's horse.

In fact, the cavalry wanted to follow. However, because of Zhao Yulong's order, they stayed where they were.

Now I can see that the soldiers who remain, if not magicians, are archers, and cavalry, and the most convenient way to encircle and fight is to order: "The whole army obeys the order, and withdraws to the two sides of the camp and ambushes." After receiving our orders, we will attack here, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Very good, Huyun, you take the soldiers to the east of the camp, Yang Zheng, you take some of the soldiers to the west of the camp, and I will wait here for Jingrui to bring the enemy over. When the time comes, do you understand the outflanking?"

"De Ling! Anyway, Brother Long, can you not be so serious, to be honest, I'm really not used to your style of talking like this. ”

"There is no child's play on the battlefield, naturally how convenient, how to say, okay, according to Jingrui's speed, it is almost here, go to the direction I arranged. After speaking, Zhao Yulong took a few steps towards the back of the camp.

In Pingqiu Pass, these soldiers watched the fight between Jingrui and Yang Xueqian before, but now although it is noon, they still have a very strong spirit. Now I am looking into the distance, and I can see the billowing wind and sand rushing towards this side.

This is not a good sign, there are only two situations in which such a large amount of sand can be lifted in this desert. One is that there is a strong wind blowing, and the latter is that there is a large army pressing the border.

Either of these two was actually far off, and the former would mean that half of the city would be buried, because the walls would not be enough to keep the wind and sand out.

And if the latter is not necessarily much better, even if Yang Xueqian is a general here, it is not a good thing to encounter the pressure of the army. After all, he Yang Xue Qian is not a god after all, even if he can defend the city, it does not mean that there is no loss in this Pingqiu Pass.

So in fact, these soldiers didn't want to encounter these two situations, so now seeing such a large pile of wind and sand, their hearts are naturally a little nervous.

When it is brought to the wind and sand, it can be seen that this is raised by the army. The procession was preceded by one man on horseback, and the rest of the thousand men were all on foot, but with a neat and unmisguided pace, apparently a well-trained army.

It had been a long time since they had seen such an army in the desert, and now these soldiers understood that this time they seemed to have encountered a strong enemy, so they hurriedly ran down the city wall and ran towards Yang Xueqian's residence.

"The general is not good, there is an army of 1,000 people outside the city who are preparing to attack the city, you go and take a look!"

"Let me go and see what is the matter? Therefore, he wanted to leave a long time ago, but there was no good excuse, so he couldn't get out, and now when he saw the soldier reporting it, it was like seeing a savior, and he hurriedly followed the soldier out.

When the county guard heard the words of the soldiers and saw that his actions were in a hurry, he felt that as the head of a county, it would be a little inappropriate if he was not at the border to supervise the battle at this time, so he also followed.

At this time, when Yang Xue Qian came to the city gate, he saw several bows and arrows shooting up, and watched the city, those soldiers were hitting the city gate. And the person in command among them is Jing Rui, so he asked: "You fought with me not long ago today, why are you here now?"

When Jing Rui saw that Yang Xue Qian finally appeared, he said: "Fang Cai personally wants to fight with you, a general, and now he is coming to attack the city on the order of the general." You and I are both human ministers, so naturally we must obey the orders of others and not disobey them. ”

Although Jing Rui is now calling people to attack the city, this wolf is happy, because what Jing Rui said is the same as what he thinks. Therefore, he took Jing Rui and said: "You see that the enemy will obey the orders of his lord and let him be able to fight more and more bravely, and if you don't obey the order now, I may not be able to do anything in the future." ”

Yang Xue Qian naturally understood what he meant, but he still had his own plans and arrangements for that sentence, so now he pretended not to hear it and ordered the soldiers: "Release the arrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of arrows were shot from the arrow holes above the city wall and at the five feet of the city wall. Jingrui's army didn't seem to expect this, and now it is disrupted, and only Jingrui can calmly maintain order in the crowd.

It's just that Jingrui didn't last long, and the team was in chaos, because Jingrui was hit by an arrow. Yes, Jing Rui was shot in the right shoulder by an arrow shot from somewhere, so he hurriedly covered his shoulder and said in pain: "It's inconvenient to attack the city today, retreat!"

Then the group of soldiers ran in all directions like mice seeing cats, and the previous neatness was all in disarray, and even the team ran away with fewer people.

Now that he saw Jingrui retreating, Yang Xue Qian calmed down and wiped the sweat from his head. But Wolf Xiang didn't plan to give him a chance to rest: "The enemy army has been defeated and fled, this is a good opportunity to pursue the enemy army, you don't want to shirk it, immediately send troops to pursue." ”

"But the enemy withdrew so quickly, I am afraid that there will be an ambush!"

"Ambush? Did you make me scared? I tell you that when I was younger, I killed more people than you ever ate fruit. Wolf Xiang didn't give him a chance to explain, so he continued to scold: "You really don't think I can lead the troops? You can't see the enemy's retreat just now, if it is arranged in advance, will they stampede when they withdraw? Look at their retreating footprints and the weapons on the ground." The military flag is the face of an army, and now that it has fallen to the ground with footprints and no one to manage it, do you think it will still look like a fraud?"

"This ...... This, can be. Hearing this, Yang Xue Qian really couldn't say anything, because he really had no way to explain this. However, he was still reluctant to send troops, and for some reason his intuition for many years of leading troops told him that this time the troops were more than lucky.

But the wolf Xiang was different from him, that is, he saw that he hesitated, so he walked down the city by himself: "If you don't pursue, then I will pursue." Anyway, I'm getting old, if I can make a contribution to the country during my lifetime, it will not be in vain, unlike someone, who is obviously the strongest person in my country, but he worships the border general, which is the lowest rank among the generals. If I were you, I wouldn't have learned from Wang Ba, and now I would at least be crowned king. ”

After speaking, Wolf Xiang left a bunch of sarcastic words, and led the soldiers out of the city and chased in the direction of Jingrui's escape. Jing Rui was leading infantry, and they were cavalry, so he was sure that he would be able to catch up when the time came.

Although Yang Xue Qian still didn't react after listening to Wolf Xiang's words, he saw Wolf Xiang taking the cavalry out of the city, so he hurriedly said: "It's bad, the county guard will definitely be more auspicious when he goes out of the city this time, if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will definitely be a bargaining chip to coerce us to open the city gate!"

Thinking of this, he ran down the city: "The soldiers have listened to the order, the county guard has left the city today, and we need to hurry up and chase the county guard back in case of accidents." In order to prevent anyone from attacking the city while I am away, we need to leave four hundred soldiers behind, and the rest will go out of the city with me!"

In the camp, those soldiers had already gone to the east and west to ambush, and now the camp was empty, and it seemed a little quiet. And in this quiet, there was a person sitting behind the tent and reading a book, and this person was Zhao Yulong.

For him, reading books has become almost a daily necessity in his daily life. Yes, he loved books more than utilitarianism, war. In fact, he wasn't interested in those in the first place, but the ghost was in his body back then, so he felt that way.

And now that only Yang Soul is left, he is closest to books, and every time he picks up a book, he feels that nothing can interrupt his train of thought, not war, not money, not even the throne.

However, Jingrui's horse bark was indeed loud, and when he heard this, Zhao Yulong knew that Jingrui had returned. Now he put down the book and said to Hu Yun and Yang Zheng at the same time with the sound transmission technique: "The enemy army is already not far away, surrounding the rear. First use cavalry to block its retreat, and then attack with a rain of arrows. ”

After speaking, he saw Jingrui getting off his horse here and walking towards Zhao Yulong: "Here! What are we doing now?"

"Turn back to meet the enemy, the enemy army is not far behind you, and you have practiced the war horse sword technique for more than a month, it's time to test it. Although this combat skill is only a low-level Yellow Rank, it should be good to use on the battlefield. ”

"Obey, I've been waiting for you for a long time, so you wait here for a while, and we'll go back. After saying that, Jingrui jumped on the horse again and took out his spear. It was to take this group of soldiers and turn back to the rear.

At this time, Wolf Xiang and his soldiers were chasing after him quickly, and when he saw that Jingrui and their army suddenly turned back, they understood that there was a deception and turned around.

But how could this direction be so easily reversed, for they had drawn their horses close together in order not to be separated in the desert. Now that I want to turn my head, there is naturally something wrong with these horses colliding together.

The wolf was also unlucky, because he could not get on the horse, and he fell. Although there was sand underneath, it was not important to fall from the horse, but it was a bit of trouble to get on the horse.

Now that the horse is frightened, it is naturally a little uncooperative, so the wolf has tried to get on the horse several times but has not succeeded. Now that he has finally gotten on horseback, the soldiers brought by Jingrui have approached.

However, most of them do not cut people, but roll over the ground and cut off the feet of horses. Naturally, it was difficult to stand on the horse's feet when it was broken, and the soldiers above naturally rolled off their horses.

And the soldiers who rolled down were a little unlucky, because Jing Rui couldn't stand up with a single shot. However, Jingrui didn't stay here too much, because his purpose was no longer here.

Although there are still many enemy troops here, these soldiers have been able to deal with them, so there is naturally no need for him to stay here. It was to quickly weave out of the chaotic crowd and run towards the large army that was coming towards it.

That is the elite army of the entire Pingqiu Pass, there are about a few thousand people in general, the number is at least several times that of Zhao Yulong's army, and the person at the head is Yang Xue Qian.

To be honest, Jing Rui has been waiting for this moment for a long time. So many fights before were hindered by Zhao Yulong's only defeat and no need to win, but now that there are no such restrictions, he should naturally make a big fight.

Although his realm is indeed inferior to Yang Xue Qian, his combat skills and weapons and the power of his bloodline are enough to make up for all this. Therefore, Jing Rui rushed towards Yang Xue Qian.

And Yang Xue Qian saw that Jing Rui was alone, so he was also excited, so he quickly rushed towards Jing Rui with the team.

It was when the morale was high, but I didn't know where the tripwire was born that tripped the horses of Yang Xueqian and the others. Yang Xueqian rolled on the ground a few times, and was about to stand up, when he saw a sea of fire descending from the sky.

This desert was originally a dry place, and there were already many fire elements in the air, and now this flame array was naturally used here to get twice the result with half the effort, Yang Xue Qian realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly used the Yuan Spirit Shield to resist these fire rains, as well as the arrows that fell out of nowhere, and commanded the retreat.

Just as he was about to continue to retreat back and retreat into the city, he heard a message from the soldiers in the rear: "There are also enemy troops behind, and we are surrounded." ”

Before the words fell, Yang Xue Qian heard the sound of horses' hooves in the rear, it was not a horse breed in the desert, and the people who rode them naturally could not be the desert nature, so Yang Xue Qian was a little desperate, and secretly shouted: "We have been tricked!"

Before he could come back to his senses, the body of Jingrui's spear had already hit him. How majestic is this gun? It was a purple-rank low-level weapon given by Zhao Yulong, and naturally it was not something that Yang Xue Qian's body could block with just one Yaolong Realm.

So he fainted on the spot, and when he woke up again it was late in the evening. Now he opened his eyes and looked around to find that this was no longer a battlefield, but a camp he had never seen before, and the rope was tied to his body.

"What am I?"

"You have lost, your army has been destroyed, because you are useful to the general, so you survived. Also, your superiors seem to have something to say to you. After speaking, Jingrui tore off the strip of cloth that was blocked in the county guard's mouth.

"Phew, even if you kill us, we won't let you use us to open the gates. General Yang, it's my fault, it's harming the whole team, I shouldn't ......."

Before the county guard finished speaking, Jing Rui blocked his mouth: "Is it useful to say this now? Can what has happened be reversed? I think our purpose, you also understand, either you order to open the city gate, or we will break in." Anyway, your city is empty at this time, and there aren't many soldiers who can fight, right?"

"Is there something, isn't it? Yang's skills are not as good as others, and now failure is waiting to be heard. It's just that you don't have to say these things again, if you want to attack, you will attack, anyway, there is no difference between me opening the city gate and you attacking the city gate. I also hope that the general will think that I am your opponent, and give me a shot so that I may apologize to the people of the city with my death, and that my misjudgment has harmed them. ”

"If the general is willing to open the gates, it won't hurt them, is it? The general is a smart man, and naturally knows that what the people care about is not who rules them, but how they are doing. If they can have food and clothing, who will rule them, isn't it the same?"

"Do you mean that your army will not slaughter the people when it enters the city?" Yang Xue Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, according to their Sha Naphthalene tradition, they usually slaughtered all the people when they broke through a city, and took the materials for themselves, but Jing Rui's words made his eyes shine.

"Naturally not, but if the general doesn't open the city gate, we may not be able to force our way in. After all, killing red-eyed soldiers is not something I can control. ”

"Well, if you really won't slaughter the city, then I'm willing to ask the soldiers to open the gates. ”
