Chapter 303: Ambush

Passing through the crack in the mountain, on the other side of Helian Mountain, there is a large meadow, and the grass stalks grow more than half a man's height, which is very suitable for concealment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The 2,000 Ba soldiers led by Gu Cheng and the 10,000 wind soldiers led by Shang Guanxiu passed through the mountain crevices one after the other, and then quickly burrowed into the grass and lay down in it.

After Shangguan Xiu and Gu Cheng converged, he immediately sent Shadow Banner personnel to the surrounding area to investigate and guard. Gu Cheng squatted in the grass and said in a low voice: "Lord Shangguan, I will leave a few clansmen to be your guides, and I will take the other clansmen to the residence of the Qixi people. ”

After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Xiu asked, "You only have two thousand people, is it enough?"

Gu Cheng smiled and said confidently: "Lord Shangguan, rest assured, the Qixi people who can fight are basically on Helian Mountain, and there are at best some old people and children left in the residence, so there is nothing to worry about." ”

But this is just speculation in ancient transcripts, and it is not known whether this is really the case. Shangguan Xiu was not at ease, he turned his head to look at Wei Hu, Li Zhu, and Zhang Wenguang behind him, and beckoned to them, and when the three of them came to him, Shangguan Xiu said: "Wei Hu, Li Zhu, Wen Guang, the three of you led two thousand brothers, and followed Gu Qian to attack the residence of the Qixi people. "After all, Gu Cheng is Suba's son, and if there are three strengths and two weaknesses in the joint operation with his own side, it will be difficult for him to explain to Suba.

Hearing his words, Gu Cheng waved his hand with a smile and said, "No need, Lord Shangguan, if you want to ambush the rescued Qixi people on the way, this battle is not good, your 10,000 people may not be enough, and if you give me another 2,000 people, it will be even more difficult to fight." ”

Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said: "How to fight this battle, I know in my heart, Brother Gu Qian doesn't have to shirk anymore." ”

Gu Cheng was silent for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Since this is the case, I thank Lord Shangguan for his kindness." ”

At Shangguan Xiu's insistence, Wei Hu, Li Zhu, and Zhang Wenguang led 2,000 Feng soldiers to follow Gu Cheng and other Ba people to the Qixi people's residence, while Shangguan Xiu led the remaining 8,000 wind troops to set up an ambush on the road between Helian Mountain and the Qixi people's residence.

In this section of the road where they chose to set up an ambush, there is a grassland on one side and a forest on the other, which is a good place for ambush. Shangguan Xiu asked Duan Qiyue to ambush in the forest with 5,000 brothers, and he, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei took 3,000 brothers to ambush in the grassland.

Time passed minute by minute, and gradually, the sky was white.

Xiao Jue slowly climbed to Shangguan Xiu's side, handed him a piece of jerky, and whispered, "Brother Xiu, it's almost dawn, let's eat something first." ”

Shangguan Xiu took the jerky, tore off a strip, stuffed it into his mouth, and said at the same time: "The brothers are also hungry, let the brothers also hurry up and eat, I'm afraid we will have to wait here for a long time." ”

The distance between Helian Mountain and the residence of the Qixi people is not close, and since the speed is fast, at least it will have to walk for a day.

Xiao Jue agreed, turned his head, and crawled back. Wu Yufei on the side asked, "Brother Xiu, can Wei Hu and them reach the residence of the Qixi people now?"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head slowly and said, "I'm afraid I haven't even finished half of the way." When it was dawn, they had to dodge the Qixi people's checkpoints and hide their tracks, and their speed was even slower. ”

Wu Yufei sighed lightly and muttered, "In this way, we have to wait here until tomorrow." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, turned over, lay flat in the grass, put his hands behind his head, and said leisurely: "Take this opportunity, we can take a good rest." ”

Wu Yufei smiled bitterly and shook her head, going deep into the enemy's hinterland, she really didn't have the heart to rest.

As they estimated, a whole day passed, and no news was received from the ancient transcript, and their four thousand people seemed to have sunk into the sea.

The next morning, just after dawn, Shangguan Xiu was lying asleep in the grass, when suddenly, a long, crisp cry in the air woke him up.

He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see a falcon spread its wings and soar above their heads. Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei's bodies were shocked, and they all picked up their bows and arrows, making a gesture to shoot down the falcon in the air, at this time, a Ba man left by the ancient transcript hurriedly said: "Don't let go of the arrow, it's our eagle!" (Shah language)" As he spoke, he sat up, quickly put on his deerskin gloves, and raised his arms upward.

Shangguan Xiu raised his head to Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei and said, "Pass the order, let the brothers not release arrows!"

I saw that the falcon circled in the air twice, and then flew down from the sky, and landed on the arm of the Ba man.

The Ba man lowered his arm, first gently touched the back of the falcon's neck twice, and then took a bamboo tube from the falcon's talons, twisted off the lid, and poured it outward, and a roll of paper fell out of it, unfolded, and inside was a line of words written in Shah language.

He glanced at it twice, then hurriedly handed the note to Shangguan Xiu, who took it and looked down, there were only a few numbers on the note: We have begun a sneak attack.

After reading this note, Shangguan Xiu's heart finally let go of a little, it seems that Gu Cheng and Wei Hu and the others did not have an accident on the way, and they have successfully arrived at the residence of the Qixi people, and now they are starting to attack.

He took a deep breath and said to Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei: "Let the brothers cheer up, the rescuers of the Qixi people may pass through here at any time." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei both agreed, conveying Shangguan Xiu's words.

A long wait followed, until noon, when the road between the prairie and the woods finally arrived. I saw more than a dozen riders running from the west side of the road, and immediately there were men and women, old and young, almost all covered in blood.

Xiao Jue squatted in the grass, stretched his neck, looked around for a moment, and said to Shangguan Xiu beside him: "Brother Xiu, look at their ......"

"These dozen or so people should have escaped from the Qixi people's residence and went to Helian Mountain for help. ”

"So, Lao Wei, they have succeeded?" Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei looked surprised.

The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, nodded slowly, and said, "Ten **." ”

"Then we ......" "Don't move, let them go." "They worked hard to ambush in this wilderness Chapter 303 ambush

It has been two days in the wild, waiting for the rescue of the Qixi people, if the people who ask for help are intercepted and killed on the way, they will not be able to wait for the rescue of the Qixi people.

Shangguan Xiu did not give the order to make a move, and none of the soldiers of the Feng Army dared to act rashly, and watched as the dozen or so embarrassed Qixi people rode their horses and ran under their noses.

let go of the Qixi people who rode more than ten times, and then there was a long wait.

When it was getting dark, a shadow flag officer came out of the woods opposite, ran into the grass on Shangguan Xiu's side, saw Shangguan Xiu, and said urgently: "My lord, I just received a report from my brothers, and the rescuers of the Qixi people have already rushed over!"

"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu's eyes lit up, and his spirit was greatly lifted, and he asked, "How many people are here from the other party?"

The brother who returned said that there were about 30,000 people. ”

"So many people!" Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei were secretly taken aback, and the two of them subconsciously looked at Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Brother Xiu, there are a large number of Fanzi soldiers, can we fight this ambush?"

Shangguan Xiu's eagle eyes narrowed, and he said categorically: "Fight! Of course we have to fight! Don't say it's only 30,000 people, even if the other party comes out, we will fight!" As he spoke, he said to the Shadow Banner personnel who reported the news: "You go back and tell Lao Duan and let him get ready for battle!"

"Yes, sir!" said the Shadow Banner officer, getting up and running back into the woods. Shangguan Xiu called several battalion lieutenants around him and arranged: "When the Qixi people rush over, let the brothers not be in a hurry to do it first, let their front army pass, and then listen to my orders." ”

"Understood. The battalion lieutenants nodded in unison.

The personnel of the dark flag were not mistaken, the Qixi people did dispatch 30,000 troops to rush back to the residence to rescue, but Shangguan Xiu overestimated the Qixi people's army, and the Qixi army did not have any distinction between the front army, the middle army, and the rear army.

Shangguan Xiu, who was ambushed in the grass, slowly picked up the grass stalks in front of him, staring at the group of soldiers running over outside, and at the same time, he also slowly raised the crossbow box in his hand and aimed at the soldiers on the road.

Feeling that the middle of the Fan army had entered his own ambush circle, Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Kill-"

With his shouts of killing, he fired a series of bolts from his crossbow case. Slap, slap, slap! As the bolts flew out of the crossbow box and into the ranks of the Fan Army, several screams followed. Three of the soldiers were struck by crossbow arrows, rolling and falling forward.

Shangguan Xiu's move kicked off the offensive of the Feng Army. I saw a long row of wind troops standing up in the grass all of a sudden, all of them holding crossbow boxes, aiming at the team of the fan army and shooting crossbow arrows continuously, and after they shot all the crossbow arrows in the crossbow box in one go, people immediately squatted down again, and behind them stood up the second row of wind army, still shooting crossbow arrows continuously without reservation. At the same time, a large number of arrows and crossbow arrows also flew out from the woods on the other side of the road, overwhelmingly flying into the ranks of the Fan army.

The unsuspecting soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden array of arrows on both sides of the road, and the people in the group flipped on their backs, and the screams of the arrows and the wails before dying were already connected.

The wind army only shot three or four rounds of arrow arrays, and there were no less than three or four thousand soldiers who died tragically under the arrows, and the 30,000 soldiers were cut off in an instant, and it was difficult to care for each other.

After a short period of confusion, the soldiers finally reacted, and the Fan army, which had already run past the ambush site, quickly retreated, and the Fan army, which had not yet entered the encirclement, quickly followed, and the severed Fan army team planned to reunite in one place.

It is not easy to fight more and less, if you let the army form a whole, set up a military formation, and fight with your own army, your own side has no possibility of winning at all. Shangguan Xiu saw through the intention of the Wind Army, he threw away the crossbow box in his hand, drew his saber, swung it forward, and shouted: "Brothers, kill the enemy with me!"
