Chapter 3: Ambush
It is still in a different world in the era of cold weapons, and there are few pedestrians on the official road. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt was just after noon, and a group of men and horses marched in the distance.
There were more than 100 people in this group, the nobles were divided into four chariots, and the rest were on foot, and the procession was in the shape of a long dragon, and there was no confusion at all. There are halberd-bearers walking in front, shield-bearers walking on the side, and bows and arrows, swords and axes walking at the end, and the end is a solemn array.
The team gets closer and closer, and you can see a car in front of the fight, hanging a flag, writing a big "Qi" character with an ancient seal, followed by the second car, which is luxurious and abnormal, with color, carving, and ornamentation. At this moment, Pingtian, the famous son of the Qi family in Rudi, was in this car. I saw him holding a book in his hand, reading it with relish, and from time to time he gestured with his hands.
The team was walking in a hurry, but suddenly, Deacon Shibakawa, who was in the lead vehicle, made a stop gesture to the four sides, and the group slowed down. Within two minutes, it came to a complete stop.
Sensing the movement outside, Hirata thoughtfully put down the book in his hand.
"Childe, Shibagawa asks to see you. Outside the carriage, the deacon bowed respectfully to the inside of the carriage.
"Come in. Hirata changed his comfortable position and said to the car curtain.
"The subordinates sensed that there seemed to be a looming popularity ahead, and there were many insects and birds in this official road, but they suddenly lost their chirps at this point, and they were afraid that there would be an ambush. Shibagawa entered the carriage road.
"It's only half a day's way from the clan land, so it's a good place to ambush, and the other party should have mastered our itinerary. Hirata frowned: "Knowing that we will speed up in order to arrive before nightfall, and if we speed up, we will be tired, this is to wait for work." ”
"Childe, should we set up camp on the spot, or should we send someone to investigate first?" asked Chai Chuan.
"Give the order first, rest on the spot, and then let one of you probe first. Hirata instructed.
Chai Chuan then retired without mentioning the arrangement, and Hirata looked gloomy at the moment, and his eyes were shining with a cold brilliance. Although the Qi family's brigade set off and couldn't hide it from those who had a heart, such a just right ambush was not something that ordinary people with a heart could know. There must be a traitor in the house, and the identity of this traitor is even more intriguing. After all, the news of his return to the clan land is a secret, except for the people who only knew before leaving, but he and his father knew about it.
After pressing down a lot of thoughts first, Hirata straightened his clothes and slowly walked out of the carriage. The escorts were already resting on the spot, the samurai organized their servants to boil water, and a few maidservants were weaving back and forth in the crowd. When everyone saw Hirata, they hurriedly saluted.
Hirata walked to the front of the team and looked into the distance, the leisurely official road stretched to the end of the line of sight, and there were many hillsides on both sides, lying on the side of the road like a giant beast that chose people to devour. I don't know how many ambush teams are hiding behind which mountain, and I don't know how many samurai these opponents are going to take away from them.
I have to say that Hirata's subordinates are still very fast, and after a stick of incense, Shibagawa stepped forward quickly, and reported to Hirata in a low voice about the situation of the scouts.
"Childe, my subordinates have sent a few people to inquire before and after. There were about 100 troops in ambush in the front and rear, and we were already in a dilemma. Chai Chuan's face also looked a little flustered, he didn't expect this secret opponent to be menacing, and he didn't expect that there would be someone in Rudi who would dare to deal with the Qi family so blatantly.
Previously, the Jiang family's daughter bought a murderer to deal with Hirata, which can be said to be an assassination, but this time the ambush halfway was already a different situation.
"I know, pass the order, and say that my son is unwell, let's stay overnight on the spot, and set off tomorrow morning. Hirata took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic for the time being, after all, there are servants and maidservants in the team who don't know martial arts, but inform all the samurai that they are ready to face the assassins tonight." ”
Since we are ambushing in the middle of the road, then we will stop, and then your ambush team will definitely attack after nightfall, and we will come to wait for work, and we will plan accordingly.
Chai Chuan, who was on the side, heard this, and the panic on his face also disappeared a little, as if he had regained his backbone, and hurriedly went down to prepare for various matters.
At the front of the Qi family's camp, a few miles away, a nephew of the Jiang family was buried in the grass with a nervous expression. The head of the family didn't know where to get the news in the morning, today the Qi family Pingtian was going back to the clan land, and hurriedly organized a group of good hands in the clan, and also dispatched nearly half of the family's elite private soldiers, including even a mage.
In order to kill the Qi family Pingtian, this kind of battle is logically said to be nine out of ten, and even the family sighed again and again, when the two families were fighting for Ru Land so fiercely, the opportunity to cut off the arm of the Qi family fell from the sky, so that the Jiang family, who was at a disadvantage, had a few more opportunities.
"It's strange, the front is wrong, Hirata is impatient and impatient, it's best to use force, generally go out and go at full speed, why does it seem that the front is camping?" Uneasy, he carefully observed for a while, and found that the Qi family's team did not have the slightest sense of urgency and tension, and some servants and maids even laughed and made trouble, and couldn't help but feel relieved. After thinking for a while, he whispered to the people around him: "Order, sneak attack the Qi family's camp late tonight." ”
At this moment, the Qi family's camp is really like what the leader of the Jiang family said, without the slightest sense of urgency. But Hirata, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't read the book at hand anymore. Two hundred elites, against the Qi family's team of 100 people, can be said to be overwhelming, not to mention that there are many servants in the team.
The situation was critical, but Hirata did not have much of an assistant, let alone the certainty of a decisive victory. After thinking about it, Hirata had to go deep into his consciousness on the jade plate.
It has only been a day and night since he was reincarnated in this world, and he has encountered a series of situations, and the pearl in the jade plate has not made a big improvement, and he has only recovered another wind technique on the basis of a prayer technique last night. The effect of the Wish Spell is too vague and does not mean much to the battle, but the Wind Blast, which allows this body to immediately cast its strongest skill even if it does not have the conditions to cast the spell.
"If Mingzhu recovers to the seventh star, he can also temporarily upgrade his body to the third-order primary, according to what he understands from the book, it belongs to the high-end combat power, and it is one order higher than the original Hirata, so he can be sure. Hirata sighed in his heart, since the matter has come to this point, he can only come to cover the water and earth, hoping to win his life from the killing.
After thinking about it, Hirata called Shibagawa again to make some instructions, and then seized the time to communicate with Yupan. With three short and one deep breathing, the body and mind are regulated, and the state is expected to be better.
The second night of reincarnation in this world finally came, and the servants of the Qi family, who were still laughing just now, also lost their active mood with the sunset. The quiet atmosphere spread through the camp, and even the bright moon hanging high in the night sky seemed more lonely, it was a night suitable for killing, but not as dark and windy as the night.
