Chapter Seventy-Two: A Clever Ambush

South of the city, the military camp of King Lu's army. Six people sat upright in the tent.

The man in the middle has a big nose and a square face, and the light in his eyes flickered.

Two men in armor sat on one side, one burly and the other lean;

Two black-robed men sat on the other side, their entire bodies hidden under the black robes, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

The last person was a fat man, sitting at the bottom, who was not the Nading Prison Army.

"I got the news today that the grain and grass that had been transported in advance were killed and burned halfway. The man in the middle said with a blank face.

"All burned?" asked the burly man softly.

"It's all burned, and there's nothing left. 50,000 troops, three months' rations. The man in the middle nodded.

"Does the prince know?" the lean man asked suddenly.

"The prince doesn't know about this matter for the time being. The man in the middle replied.

"Dashuai, you are not afraid of the prince's blame. The burly man was stunned for a moment.

"This matter is a mistake on the part of the commander, who wanted to transport the grain and grass over first, and the army could move faster. I never thought that the thief's news was so sensitive. The man in the middle sighed.

"There is only three months of grain and grass left, and the big man wants to fight quickly?" the lean man laughed.

"It's just three months of food and grass, which is just for the thieves to take lightly. The man in the middle laughed too.

The fat man Ding Jianjun, after listening to the words of the three of them, his face changed.

"Ding Jianjun, you also heard what we said. I don't know what Ding Jianjun thinks?" asked the man in the middle with a smile.

"Just now... I suddenly had a headache just now, and I didn't hear what they said. Ding Jianjun sneered.

"Well, Lord Ding, as the overseer, only report to the prince if there is anything in the army, and don't pay attention to me and others. The man in the middle said lightly.

"Where, of course, the affairs in the army are still decided by a few generals. Ding Jianjun hurriedly arched his hand.

"Go back and prepare, tomorrow the army will start and go straight to Jiayuan City!"

The two black-robed men did not speak from beginning to end.

In the past half a month, Ma Yun has been running between Mangniuling, Xiaohan Mountain and Jiayuan City.

As the battle approached, Dian Jun and Qin Ming had already stayed in Mangniuling. Choose a place that is not dangerous, but easy to hide and trap in.

That place is a naturally formed canyon, and the cliffs on both sides are only four or five zhang high, but they are four or five zhang wide, and it is a bit reluctant to say that the canyon is a canyon.

In order to prevent exposure, Qin Ming led a group of people to deliberately pretend to be robbers and patrol the neighborhood closely.

Both sides of the canyon have long been covered with boulders.

According to the plan, about 5,000 enemy troops were allowed to pass, and the entrance to the other end of the canyon was blocked with boulders, and the enemy was divided into two sections, and the 5,000 men were annihilated in the fastest time, and then retreated immediately.

When King Lu's army was only more than two hundred miles away from Jiayuan City, it would only take seven days to travel.

Tong Guanshan led an army of 3,000 and quietly went out of the city from the east gate at night, and rushed to Xiaohan Mountain, fifty miles away, overnight. In a dangerous place in the mountains, a trap was laid.

All these seemingly mysterious actions, of course, could not escape the ears and eyes of the scouts, and soon the news of Xiaohanshan's ambush of 3,000 enemy troops reached the camp of King Lu's army.

"Interesting, seeing Ben Shuai's army coming, he didn't shrink in the city, but dared to send troops to ambush. Nearly half of the soldiers who were ambushed at once were really bold. No wonder he was able to defeat Liu Jingting and capture Jiayuan City. Xiao Tiangang laughed happily when he heard the news of the scout.

"Yes, as long as the three thousand volts are annihilated, Jiayuan City will become empty, and it will be much easier to capture the city when the time comes. "That lean general is none other than Wu Ling.

"I'm afraid that I'm scared and I'm going to surrender directly, but it's not accurate. The burly Shang Zheng laughed.

"Two virtuous brothers, don't be careless. The thief's martial arts were superb, and he killed several high-level martial artists in a row. The prince had some scruples, so he sent those two to help me. Xiao Tiangang smiled.

"Speaking of the thief leader, I heard that the prince sent someone to assassinate him several times without success, but was killed by that person. There are some means. It's a pity that the two armies are fighting, and it's not a competition of force, and under the fire of ten thousand arrows, the innate master will also become a hedgehog. Wu Ling snorted lightly.

"That's it, high-level martial artist, I don't know how many I have killed before I go into battle. This time there is one more. Shang Zheng's face was fanatical.

"Haha, I think about the battle of Tapan Pass back then, my three brothers only brought 3,000 soldiers, and they turned away the 100,000 troops of the Northern Desert. The third brother even killed seven generals in the Northern Desert before the battle, and shocked the Northern Desert. It is even rumored that when the children in the Northern Desert were crying, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to cry when they mentioned the name of the third brother. After listening to Xiao Tiangang's words, Shang Zheng and Wu Ling both laughed.

"Third brother, eldest brother will remind you first. If you encounter the thief leader, don't go up yet, let those two deal with it. Xiao Tiangang's face softened.

"Big brother, those two people are mysterious, if it weren't for the eyes of the prince, they would have been driven out of the camp a long time ago. Shang Zheng looked angry.

"Third brother, what the eldest brother said is right. It is better to be careful in everything. My three brothers have the opportunity to make a difference. Wu Ling also reminded.

"The two elder brothers have said it, and the younger brother naturally obeys his fate. ”

......

Jiayuan City, the city lord's mansion.

Ma Yun looked at the middle-aged man in front of him excitedly.

The man was of medium height, with silver hair, a thin face, but a very ruddy complexion, except for a somewhat dull look. But it was the madman who had been in a coma for more than a month.

The madman hadn't woken up since he fell unconscious. In desperation, Ma Yun continued to use that mysterious energy to sort out his true qi, and he just woke up.

During this period of coma, Ma Yun ordered someone to freshen him up, so that he had his current appearance.

Since the madman woke up, he has not been crazy anymore, and the whole person is silent.

The big war is imminent, this person woke up at this time, and Ma Yun was really relieved.

This person saved Ma Yun's life between life and death, and if he is in a coma like this, he is really not at ease.

"You stay here, you can eat and drink whatever you want, I'll go out for a few days. Ma Yun said happily.

"I'm going to follow you. The madman said humbly.

"No, I have something important to do when I go out. ”

"I'm going to follow you. ”

No matter how much he tried to persuade him, the madman was the same thing.

In desperation, Ma Yun set off with the madman and rushed to Xiaohan Mountain.

After agreeing with Tong Guanshan on some details, he hurried to Mangniu Ridge non-stop.

Dian Jun and Qin Ming saw the madman following Ma Yun and hurriedly asked who it was.

After learning that it was the crazy man with superb martial arts, the two sighed.

I feel that if this person regains his senses, he will definitely be able to take the head of the enemy general in the army of 10,000 people.

On the second day, outside the Mangniu Ridge.

Xiao Tiangang looked at the terrain of Mangniuling from afar and was silent.

"Big brother, why did you stop the team. Shang Zheng asked.

"Third brother, there is a mountain range ahead, be careful of ambushes. Xiao Tiangang said in a deep voice.

"Big brother, the other party has already ambushed Xiaohan Mountain fifty miles away, where are the troops ambushed here. Or speed up and surprise the Xiaohan Mountain Bandit Army. Shang Zheng urged.

"Yes, big brother, we have already sent someone to keep an eye on the ambush soldiers in Xiaohan Mountain, and we will report as soon as there is any trouble. That group of ambush soldiers should be waiting for us in Xiaohan Mountain at this time. Wu Ling said approvingly.

"Be careful in everything. Send troops to search the highest mountain to see if there are any ambushes. We're here waiting. ”

A moment later, a small group of soldiers ascended the ridge from the trail and searched for the highest peak.

At the same time, Ma Yun also received news that the army stopped.

"Stopped, didn't you find us?"

Qin Ming was a little disappointed, for this ambush, he had prepared a moon before and after, if it was exposed like this, it would be a pity.

"Wait and see, maybe it's just that the other party is suspicious. Ma Yun recalled again and again, and there was nothing wrong.

Half an hour later, Xiao Tiangang received a report that there was no ambush near the mountain. Only then was the order to move forward.

In the canyon, a long queue is slowly passing.

"Fortunately, there are few thieves, otherwise this mountain would be a good place to ambush. Xiao Tiangang looked at both sides of the canyon and said with emotion.

"Big brother, I have explored those places just now, and there are no ambushes. This will pass through here right away, so don't worry about it, big brother. Shang Zheng held the double hammer, a little impatient.

"Order the army, speed up, go to Xiaohan Mountain quickly, and wipe out the thieves tomorrow!"

As soon as Xiao Tiangang's words fell, the army in front suddenly became chaotic.

"What's going on, what's the chaos. The second brother went to take a look. Xiao Tiangang felt a little uncomfortable.

It didn't take long for Wu Ling to shoot back.

"Big brother, it's not good, there are ambushes on both sides of the canyon, and the road is blocked with boulders and wood, and the army is cut in two. ”

"Second brother, third brother, each of you will take a team of men and horses, climb up the canyon from the path, and clean up the ambush soldiers above the canyon. Xiao Tiangang's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered.

When Shang Zheng and Wu Ling took the order to leave, Xiao Tiangang sighed: "The front army is in danger. ”

The two black-robed men didn't know when they also arrived. Behind the two, each stood a tall figure in armor.

The armor was tight, wrapped from head to toe.

Without waiting for Xiao Tiangang to give an order, the two black-robed men rushed forward, and the tall figure behind them followed.

On the other side of the canyon, Ma Yun, Dian Jun and Qin Ming rushed over from outside the entrance of the canyon with five hundred soldiers wearing red flame armor.

Ma Yun held a halberd, a dancer axe, and Qin Ming waved a spear and rushed towards the enemy like a sharp arrow.

That madman followed Ma Yun unhurriedly, and all the fighting around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

It's just that if someone shoots at him, he will be slapped away with his palm.

The enemy vanguard army had already left the canyon, and when the rockfall attack was launched in the canyon, Ma Yun also launched a bow and arrow attack on his side, disrupting the enemy's forward formation.

The vanguard army of more than 2,000 people was scattered after a short time, and the general of the vanguard army was also cut off with an axe.

The three of them led people into the canyon again, and the soldiers in the canyon were already frightened by falling rocks, and Ma Yunjun rushed to the other end of the canyon as if he had entered a no-man's land.

Five thousand soldiers, in less than half an hour, were all annihilated.

"I knew I would have let it go more. "Qin Ming's intention is still unfinished, and the spear is still dripping blood.

"Brother Qin, don't fall in love with war, retreat. ”

"I want to leave now, it's too late!" a cold voice came. I saw that on the canyon, many figures slowly appeared.

However, it was Shang Zheng and Wu Ling who led people to climb the canyon, but when they rushed up the canyon with great effort, the soldiers who threw stones on it had already retreated, and only killed some defensive soldiers.

At the same time, the congested stone pile at the mouth of the canyon made a loud noise.

In the flying stone chips, two tall figures appeared.
