Chapter 356: Ambush
Ning Ze and Hua Erniang still disguised their identities in their previous outfits, but they were accompanied by more Qiu Chan and Wang Tong.
After putting on makeup, Wang Tong's hair was messy, he wore a fake beard like Li Kui, his face was covered with freckles, and he also made a huge black mole next to his nose. directly turned into another person, and he didn't see any resemblance to Ning Ze at all.
The makeup is ugly, but it works.
He and Qiu Chan became servants hired by Ning Ze and Hua Erniang, a couple who were engaged in small business business, and they rode in the same carriage.
Along the way, Ning Ze drove a virtual map and kept an eye on the surrounding situation.
He greeted Hua Erniang in advance, informed the enemy country of the details, reminded her that there must be an assassin attack on the road, and told her to cheer up.
As for Wang Tong and Qiu Chan, they did not inform it, so as not to cause panic and unnatural for the two.
The carriage had just left the county seat, and sure enough, a red dot appeared behind it, and it was chasing all the way.
Ning Ze pretended not to know and continued to wait.
When I left the county seat for about 20 miles, I came to a relatively remote location, and a large number of red dots suddenly appeared in front of me, with a total of 57 people, ambushed at a key intersection.
Followed by 7 people, it quickly formed an encirclement, but it was quite far away.
The other party seemed to deliberately keep his distance, not wanting to be discovered by Ning Ze, but he didn't know that he had a virtual map, and he had already seen through everything.
"It's coming!" the carriage continued to move forward, and Ning Ze turned his head sideways and said in a voice in Hua Erniang's ear that only the two of them could hear.
Hua Erniang immediately touched the wind-chasing bow hidden next to her.
The further you go, the smaller the encirclement becomes.
"Huh~" Wang Tong, who was in charge of driving the car, suddenly pulled the reins, causing the flatbed carriage to stop on the spot.
It turned out that the road ahead was blocked by stones and impassable.
"Lord Wang, look at ......" Wang Tong turned his head to report to Ning Ze, and before the words fell, he saw Hua Erniang suddenly get up, with an extra strong bow in her hand, and directly pulled it with a full embrace, and shot out with a bang.
The arrow flew to the right at an alarming speed, and it hit a dark arrow in the air that came from nowhere.
Wang Tong and Qiu Chan didn't know what the situation was, and they didn't see the dark arrow shot by Hua Erniang, they only knew that she suddenly pulled her bow towards a place where no one was, and the arrows that flew out couldn't be seen clearly, so they looked dazed.
Hua Erniang didn't have time to explain, so she continued to draw her bow and arrows, this time with three arrows and three arrows, shooting in a certain direction.
Three more hidden arrows were blocked, and two more were shot from different directions, aiming directly at Ning Ze.
Hua Erniang's powerful bow swept and just shot down two arrows.
Wang Tong and Qiu Chan witnessed it with their own eyes, and they were stunned and couldn't believe it.
I didn't expect Hua Erniang to be so powerful, and then she screamed, and quickly jumped out of the carriage, hiding in the opposite direction where the arrow came, holding her head to hide herself.
"Woooo
Hua Erniang shouted "Be careful" and concentrated on shooting arrows to resist the right side.
A bow and arrow also appeared in Ning Ze's hand, and he also shot three arrows with one arrow, using arrows to shoot down hidden arrows and defend himself with a bow.
Wang Tong and Qiu Chan couldn't close their mouths when they saw it, and said in their hearts, Are these two still human? I don't know where the dark arrow came from, how did you use the bow and arrow to catch it? This is too exaggerated! In other words, it is estimated that a huge scarecrow placed ten meters away may not be shot.
"Take it!" Ning Ze blocked a wave of dark arrows, got up and took out a big shield from under the straw laid on the flat carriage, and threw it in front of Wang Tong, "Hide behind the shield!"
This shield is large enough to protect the whole person.
Wang Tong immediately picked up the shield, let the autumn cicada hide behind him, and erected it in front of him.
Although the target of the dark arrow is not them, there are still arrows that fall.
Ning Ze and Hua Erniang glanced at each other, jumped out of the carriage very tacitly, and while pulling their bows and shooting down dark arrows, they dodged the attacks that could not be blocked.
After a few waves of dark arrows, the opponent temporarily stopped attacking.
Ning Ze saw the red dots around him quickly surround him, and said to Hua Erniang: "It's here!"
Hua Erniang immediately put away her strong bow, pulled out a spear from under the straw of the carriage, and assumed a defensive posture.
Ning Ze also put down his bow and arrows, guarding the surroundings empty-handed.
Dozens of assassins emerged from the hideout, all dressed in black and masked, holding bows and crossbows, constantly tightening the encirclement.
When the other party gradually approached, Ning Ze finally saw the attribute, which turned out to be an assassin sent by Ma Jian's forces.
The other party was obviously jealous of Ning Ze's forces, and he also knew that it would not be so easy to assassinate him, so he first used long-range assassination to shoot Ning Ze to death without him knowing.
I didn't expect Ning Ze and Hua Erniang to resist waves of dark arrows with bows and arrows, and dozens of people took turns to shoot volleys, but they were shot down, dodged, and resisted by the two, unscathed!
The Assassins then changed their tactics, narrowed the encirclement, and then crouched down.
Two boulders suddenly flew out from behind, drew a parabola in the air, and smashed down in the direction of Ning Ze and Hua Erniang.
It turned out that the assassins had set up catapults here in advance, and calculated the attack distance of the transmission vehicles, just waiting for Ning Ze to arrive.
Hua Erniang was shocked, the boulder fell, and she couldn't resist it at all!
In the moment of her panic, Ning Ze quickly summoned Claw Huang Feining, turned over and rushed over, stretched out his hand to pull her into the carriage, and fled at an alarming speed.
"Boom, boom!" The two boulders hit the ground, and then out of the huge pit, the ground shook.
"Tutututu!!" Seeing that Ning Ze was running wildly with Hua Erniang and riding the claw Huang Feidian summoned out of thin air, all the assassins turned around and aimed at him with a volley of crossbow arrows.
"Boom, boom!" Two more boulders flew out from behind, and the Assassin adjusted his angle and fired them again.
Claw Yellow flies lightning at a very fast speed, successfully avoiding crossbow arrows and stone throws.
Ning Ze circled his horse, took out a whistle, put it in his mouth, and blew it vigorously.
The whistle was extremely sharp, loud, and reverberated all around.
With the whistle, there was a sudden "boom" in the distance with the dull sound of horses' hooves.
Jia Xiaoman, the county lieutenant of Mixian County, personally led the team, and 500 county soldiers galloped wildly, and the soldiers were outflanked from the periphery in two ways.
The assassin was very surprised, Jia Xiaoman was not ordered by Ning Ze to be locked up in prison for two more days, how could he lead troops to appear here?
Wang Tong and Qiu Chan were frightened by the assassins, and they were also shocked when they suddenly found that Jia Xiaoman was coming with troops.
They didn't know that Ning Ze deliberately released the news so that the enemy forces would not be suspicious. In fact, he secretly ordered Jia Xiaoman to gather people and horses to stand by at any time.
He knew that the Assassins would definitely set up an ambush in advance, and then send a few men to follow them along the way to make sure there were no problems with their path. The reason why I stayed in Mi County for one more night was to give Jia Xiaoman time to arrange.
The enemy forces thought that after Ning Ze was disguised, there were only four people, but they didn't know that Jia Xiaoman led his troops to follow quietly.
Through the virtual map, Ning Ze already knew the number of detailed works in the city, and he also knew that they would follow behind. So he asked Jia Xiaoman to wait for him to go out of the city, and then come to catch up after a while.
There was a certain distance between the two sides, and the enemy did not notice Jia Xiaoman and the county soldiers who were following far behind.
It took some time for the Assassins to attack Ning Ze, and Jia Xiaoman then arrived to stand by, and when Ning Ze blew the whistle, he galloped from a relatively distant position.
The arrival of Jia Xiaoman and the five hundred county soldiers shocked the assassin and quickly turned around and prepared to evacuate.
It's just that two legs can't run on four legs, and the county soldiers are all on horseback, and the speed is amazing.
The assassins who had laid an ambush here in advance, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, left their horses far away, and were stopped by the county soldiers before running over.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the assassins were soon surrounded by county soldiers, and Jia Xiaoman personally commanded the battle.
Ning Ze took Hua Erniang and quickly returned to the vicinity of the carriage.
Although the assassins were well-trained, the county soldiers brought by Jia Xiaoman were not vegetarians, not to mention taking advantage of the large number of people.
What made the assassin most depressed was that in the middle of the battle, there were obviously casualties among each other, Ning Ze suddenly used the "demon technique", and those injured county soldiers instantly recovered and joined the battle again.
Under the situation of eliminating the other's strengths, it is gradually unable to support it.
These assassins were also ruthless enough, and seeing that the situation was not good, they killed themselves one after another. There are also those who help kill injured companions and then commit suicide.
All of them were dead, and soon there were corpses everywhere, and there were no living mouths.
After making sure that no assassins had escaped, Jia Xiaoman ordered people to clean up the battlefield and came to Ning Ze on horseback: "Lord Wang, the lower officials will not disgrace their mission and exterminate all the assassins!"
"Well done!" Ning Ze nodded and praised, "Lone didn't misunderstand you." This time you have done great things, you will be rewarded. ”
"This is a matter of duty, and I dare not ask for a reward!" Jia Xiaoman replied, "The assassins are all dead soldiers, and they cannot be captured alive." I can't find out the origin, please forgive me!"
"It's okay!" Ning Ze smiled, "Lone already knows the origin of the assassin. ”
Wang Tong and Qiu Chan were shocked, and when they learned that the assassins were dead, they were close together, still holding the giant shield and leaning over cautiously, their eyes falling on Jia Xiaoman's face.
"It's okay!" Ning Ze looked at the two of them, "Gu had expected an assassin attack, so he asked County Lieutenant Jia to prepare in advance. This time, thanks to County Lieutenant Jia, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable!"
Wang Tong and Qiu Chan glanced at each other, their faces were quite complicated. After hesitating for a while, he saluted Jia Xiaoman: "Thank you County Lieutenant Jia!"
"The lower official is just following the orders of the prince!" Jia Xiaoman ignored the two of them and said directly to Ning Ze, "Please wait a while, I will immediately dispose of the assassin's corpse and clear the barricades!"
"Well, after this is over, turn around and go back to Mixian County!"
"No!" Jia Xiaoman said busily, "The prince has just been attacked, maybe there are other assassins eyeing him, and the lower official will personally escort the army, and the prince must be sent to Dageng County!"
"Lord Wang," Wang Tong hurriedly said, "even if you wipe out a wave of assassins, you can't guarantee that you won't meet them again." It's safer to have soldiers and horses escorting! We don't have anything, and in your capacity, there can't be any mistakes!"
"Yes, yes!" Qiu Cicada nodded hurriedly, "It's too dangerous without a soldier escort!"
In fact, the two of them were worried about their own safety, and if the assassins targeted them just now, they would definitely not be able to escape.
Ning Ze himself is not worried, he has a virtual map, as long as a hostile force appears, he will find it in an instant.
If it's just him and Hua Erniang, don't worry about it at all. Even if you can't defeat the assassins, it is not difficult to break through and escape with the force of the two.
However, there are still Wang Tong and Qiu Cicada by his side, so he really can't take care of it.
After thinking about it carefully, he nodded and agreed: "Okay! ”
"The subordinate officer receives the order!"
