Chapter 253: Ambush

Disgusting? Dugu Ming's frowning Yuan Hao didn't know. It's just that if he knew, I'm afraid he would be happy for Dugu Ming's frown.

After all, the two sides are hostile, and the situation that can make Dugu Ming feel embarrassed and disgusting is what Yuan Hao likes to see. For Yuan Hao, he just needs to make Dugu Ming more sad than himself.

Things actually unfolded according to Yuan Hao's calculations.

Dugu Ming knew that it was a great success to take down Yuan Hao and make him bow down. After knowing that Yuan Hao left Jiangxia City and entered Dazhi Mountain, Dugu Ming instinctively ordered a change of course: "Everyone has given up Jiangxia City, what else are we going to do there? After this incident, who else in the rivers and lakes dares to make trouble with my Wushuang City? Aren't they afraid that our Wushuang City will chase and kill them? Jiangxia City will not run away if it is placed there, so let's go to Dazhi Mountain as soon as possible to take down the guy named Yuan Hao." ”

These words were reasonable, and everyone including Shi Wuzun nodded yes. Although it is not that no one proposed to divide the troops, the main force will chase Yuan Hao, and part of it will take Jiangxia City, but Dugu Ming will not allow it. It's not that he noticed anything unusual, but he made up his mind to complete this matter, and he didn't want Jiang Xiacheng's fat to be brushed by others before him.

Looking at the guys who made the suggestions were all from the Green Forest Underworld, Dugu Ming understood what they were up to.

"Don't you just want to get a handful and leave? No, my Wushuang City said that if you want to hand over Jiangxia City to those three gangs completely, you must hand it over to those three gangs. How can you people destroy such things that have already spread rumors on the rivers and lakes. Dugu Ming secretly thought to himself in his heart, but shook his head fiercely.

So, under the condition of Dugu Ming's stubbornness, the army of Wushuang City did not go to Jiangxia at the moment, but searched for the whereabouts of Yuan Hao and his party in Dazhi Mountain.

Although most of what they knew about Yuan Hao was from the mouths of others, after knowing that Yuan Hao also had a large army of five or six hundred people with him, they sent spies to find Yuan Hao's location among the mountains.

And after discovering Yuan Hao's traces at the beginning, with the harrier eagle trained in Wushuang City to observe in the air, they firmly locked Yuan Hao's movements, and relied on the speed of their own team to approach Yuan Hao's location little by little.

During this period, their behavior was also discovered by Yuan Hao, and a fierce battle was ensued. Yuan Hao's side tried to break free from him with his familiarity with the mountainous terrain, but all of this failed with the efforts of those elite disciples in Wushuang City.

Yuan Hao left a lot of corpses on his side, and fled to the depths of the mountains in a hurry, as if he wanted to escape from the pursuit of Wushuang City.

But it was useless, Dugu Ming still followed up with his own people.

Between chasing and escaping, the distance between the two became closer and closer, and Dugu Ming and his party gradually stepped into the depths of the mountain.

At night, Dugu Ming and his entourage slept in a valley. In early spring, the mountains and forests are lush and humid, and when the temperature plummets at night, a chilly chill penetrates into the heart. If it weren't for the fact that the group was all successful in internal strength, they would not be afraid of the cold and heat, but they were afraid that under the hot day and cold night, a group of people might fall in the team.

The march of the Jianghu people is quite different from the march of the imperial army, and the biggest difference is that the "army" of the Jianghu people basically brings its own grain and grass. Moreover, most of them are people who are accustomed to walking in the wilderness, so even if they chase into the mountains and forests for a few days, the dry food they carry with them has been almost consumed, and they have never panicked. Because in the early spring in the mountains and forests, many cats and winter animals have awakened, but they can find a lot of food in this mountain forest with their martial arts.

They are like this, and Yuan Hao seems to be the same.

At least in their observations, Yuan Hao's men and horses started the hunting operation early.

"It seems that they are in a worse situation than we are...... Should there be no food?" Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun sat on the big bluestone by the stream in this valley to accept the barbecue handed to them by their subordinates, took a bite while it was steaming and fragrant, and chewed vigorously while telling such a judgment in slightly vague words.

"It seems so. After all, our pursuit has forced them to flee deeper...... In the depths of the mountains and forests, inaccessible to human beings, there is not so suitable for human survival. Now I'm afraid they've reached the point of exhaustion. Shi Wuzun said some things that had been analyzed based on the information sent by the spies of Wushuang City.

"They're sixty miles ahead of us?" Dugu Ming raised his eyebrows: "If necessary, we can attack them overnight and wipe them out." ”

"So does the young master plan to do this?" Shi Wuzun asked with a smile.

"No...... I'm going to catch up with them tomorrow. In broad daylight, defeat them with dignity. Only in this way can we show the whole world that we are strong. Dugu Ming shook his head lightly, and told his decision in small but resolute words.

"Yes!" Shi Wuzun nodded indifferently: "It's all up to yours." Anyway, it's a little anxious to hurry up tonight. ”

"Then rest early, we'll be on our way early tomorrow morning." "Since Shi Wuzun has no opinion on this, it is natural for Dugu Ming to give an order to everyone stationed in the valley - he is the commander of this way, and he has the identity of the young city lord of Wushuang City, so it is natural to give such an order.

There was no disagreement with that.

So the army set up camp, and a simple tent was erected.

These tents are for powerful people, and as for ordinary disciples, Xi Tianmu is their only choice. Jianghu people, because of ugliness, they can't say anything.

In the dead of night, the moon and stars are sparse, and between the tinkling streams, you can occasionally hear the call of night owls in the distance. The mournful screams added a bit of weirdness to the coldness of the moonlight.

Of course, this weirdness only exists in the imagination of some literati. In fact, after experiencing several similar mountain and forest occupations, people are also a little accustomed to all kinds of things here.

If you don't see it, it will be defeated.

Knowing that these are all normal scenery in the mountains and forests, except for a few people who are keeping vigil, most of the people here can sleep peacefully.

But they slept loudly, but they didn't know that on the hills on both sides of the valley where they were, there were already a hundred and ten figures shuttling among them, erecting steel pipes that were more than three feet long and the thickness of tea cups, and carefully lifting a cone-shaped gadget with wings.

"Are you ready?" Between the mountains and forests, behind those figures, an inaudible voice came into everyone's ears. There was no answer, and the busy crowd nodded lightly with expressionless faces.

"Then let's get started!" the voice repeated. Start, well, let's get started! There was no pause, and the smooth operation was carried out at a rapid pace in the hands of these expressionless people.

Observe the location of the target, adjust the angle of 60 pressures, and then several shells will be fired in a salvo. There were no test firings, no calibration, there were only constant shelling.

Mortars fire at an extremely fast rate, and it is claimed that the rate of fire is as fast as the manpower. At the moment, these six mortars, under the control of those with expressions on their faces, although they did not reach the extreme rate of fire, were still to the point of firing seven or eight shells in one breath.

For a moment, a sharp whistle pierced the silent sky, and after more than forty shells swept through a miserable arc in the night sky, they smashed down towards the camp of Wushuang City under the mountain with a deadly high speed.

"This ...... What is this?" When the roar sounded, someone had already burst out of the tent, and the master of the Peerless City looked at the cannonballs falling from the sky in surprise, and suddenly had a bad thought in his heart.

However, they were already a step too late at this time, although they felt bad in their hearts, but these shells came too quickly, and they were able to find that it was not easy, except for a few powerful masters, there were not many people who could escape far the moment the shells fell.

As the bomb fell, the shrapnel exploded with a thunderous sound. In an instant, these masters of the Peerless City were hit by the overwhelming shrapnel and cut their bodies.

Screams and wails erupted, but were soon interrupted by the sound of more shells. The wailing stopped, the rumbling roared, and at last it became the only sound that resounded through the valley.

In this way, after more than ten breaths, the shelling stopped, the smoke that permeated the valley gradually dissipated, and the cold moonlight gradually illuminated the land of the three valleys.

It's just that the beautiful mountain scenery that was originally a little light and spiritual has disappeared here. In the craters of different sizes, countless stumps and broken arms were everywhere, and there were also a lot of internal organs and brains. For a time, this place turned out to be a terrible Shura hell.

"Damn...... This...... Who is this troublemaker? Who is ambushing us!" With his good skills, Dugu Ming escaped from Ascension under the protection of Shi Wuzun, and when the shelling came to an end and the camp was in a mess, even if he remembered his father's warning to him to be gracious, he had to move his liver and fire, and his expression became extremely hideous.

Originally, there were hundreds of Wushuang City masters he brought and the subordinate forces under Wushuang City, but after such a round of sudden shelling, there were only two or three hundred lucky people who could still fight. And at least half of the two or three hundred people were somewhat injured.

In just a few breaths, more than half of the crusade army he brought has been lost, and it has nothing to do with Dugu Ming's madness. Being attacked by the enemy made him angry, but what made him even more angry was that he didn't know who the enemy was or where the attack was coming from.

"Bastard!" Dugu Ming was annoyed. Shi Wuzun also had an angry face.

Just as the two of them were annoyed with themselves, a long laugh suddenly came from the top of the hill on the left side of the valley: "Haha...... Dugu Ming, Shi Wuzun, don't you Wushuang City want to take me? Hehe, this meteor rain tastes good! Now I'll see how you take me! When I defeat you, Jiangxia City will still be mine. The young and arrogant voice echoed in the mountains and forests of the dark night, and the pride in it was like a steel needle piercing Dugu Ming and Shi Wuzun angrily.

"Good thief, you are so ruthless!" Dugu Ming's lips tightened, almost crushing his steel teeth.

"Each other is hostile, how can the so-called ruthlessness begin!" Yuan Hao's voice was still calm. It's just that this kind of thinness is like a powerful slap in the ears of everyone in Wushuang City, which makes their faces hot for a while.

"Are you sure the other party is in that position?" Regarding Yuan Hao's words, Dugu Ming did not answer again, but asked Shi Wuzun on the side.

Shi Wuzun nodded lightly, but he was condensed in his eyes, the light in his eyes flashed, and his ears fanned slightly, but he heard some movements that were difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"There he was, not many of them, about two hundred, mostly able-bodied, no mastersβ€”I heard their rather heavy breathing. Shi Wuzun said.

"In this way, the other side just used a surprise attack strategy to catch us off guard, but in fact, their strength is not strong. ”

Dugu Ming raised his eyebrows, linking Shi Wuzun's current judgment with the information he had previously understood, and his heart suddenly felt at ease, and then a touch of ruthlessness and resoluteness flashed across his face:

"Rush forward and let us destroy them once and for all. Brethren, those thieves are right in front of us, as long as we kill them! We will win this expedition! Go on, avenge the dead brethren!"

Dugu Ming shouted loudly.

As an heir who has been cultivated by Dugu's side, although Dugu Ming is a little shy, he still understands when and what to do. At the moment, he used words to motivate his subordinates, raise their morale, and make them join him.

After that, he took the lead, and Shi Wuzun rushed forward left and right, putting on a desperate appearance.

And under the leadership of the two of them, those warriors of Wushuang City and those who came to help rushed forward with a roar. Their eyes widened and their momentum was like a rainbow, but they were carried away by anger and hatred under Dugu Ming's words.

"The military heart is available!"

Dugu Ming was overjoyed by this, and his speed did not speed up, but slowed down slightly. If he didn't do this, even the elites of Wushuang City who came with him were average.

In the midst of the constant impact, it pushed those who came to help to the front. Send you to death, I will take the benefits, in the rivers and lakes of deceit, people with real solid eyes will not live long, especially when these people do not have enough strength.

"Everything was as I expected. Looking at the people below rushing upward, Yuan Hao, who caused all this with his own hands, narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. Once again, he ordered: "Ready, machine guns ready...... We let them taste the power of firearms, and let them understand how powerful we really are. ”

As he spoke, he stood in the dark, and when those people rushed to his position, he waved his raised arm vigorously.

In an instant, tongues of fire flashed, and the sound of tearing like strips of cloth resounded through the mountains and forests, and countless metal bullets were poured down at a speed several times the speed of sound towards the people of Wushuang City who wanted to rush up.
