Fuxu Port, the surface of the South China Sea seems to be boiling, and the fog is steaming, quickly spreading to the surroundings, and soon it will be shrouded in the sky over the entire Fuxu Town, and with it comes the bright light of dawn, and the white expanse fills the sky.

After nearly an hour of running wildly, under this white mist, Ding Li and others, led by Lu Dachi, finally returned to the official road, and at the same time, under the joint investigation of Heizi and Ding Li, they found a suitable place for ambush.

Ding Li and the others were still dressed as regular soldiers when they went out of the city, and at this moment they were completely like a peasant army that had wandered to the vicinity, and when everyone gathered in the woods on the side of the official road and gathered together their baggage and the things they carried, in fact, even they themselves were shocked by the scene in front of them, hoes, shovels, crowbars, and even axes and hammers, etc., of course, these things were not loved by anyone present, because before leaving, Ding Li brought out a batch of short crossbows from Zhang Mingzhi's mansion, For a while, no one even thought about the ordinary and hard-arm angle bow.

Ding Li, who was thinking by everyone, couldn't see it, smiled and pointed to the pile of 'farm tools' surrounded by everyone and joked: "No matter what the brothers are usually responsible for in the Nanhai Gang, follow me to be a farmer today!" ”

Except for Ding Li, Heizi, Aguda and Lu Dachi, the rest of the people present didn't know what the purpose of this trip was, although they were very puzzled about what the farm tools in front of them were used for, but after listening to Ding Li's jokes, they still laughed one after another, and the atmosphere was suddenly a lot more relaxed.

"Brother Li, just hurry up and announce the matter, don't let the brothers worry!" Lu Dachi was refreshing, seeing that the men he brought secretly threw suspicious glances at him, he immediately stood up for his brother, took a step forward, and opened his mouth to urge Ding Li.

"Uh-huh, don't worry!" Ding Li smiled, picked up a hoe from the ground, shook it slightly, and then looked up at the sky through the gap between the leaves above his head, and then his face suddenly became serious, and he explained to everyone in a deep voice: "Whether it is the Cao Chamber of Commerce or the Chaozhou Gang, they are our mortal enemies, and I don't think I need to explain more to my brothers!" And early this morning, the Cao Chamber of Commerce will have a batch of valuable goods leaving Fuxu Town to be transported to Guangzhou City, and our goal today is this batch of goods! ”

"Robbery?"

"Robbery?"

"Isn't that what the bandits did?"

In the end, as soon as this person's voice fell, Lu Dachi suddenly jumped forward, raised a big slap and greeted the other party's head, and cursed the other party viciously: "It's really ugly!" Let you talk nonsense! Let you talk nonsense again! You open your eyes and see, who is like a bandit? Is it like Brother Li, or is it like me? ”

"Alright, alright! Stop it! Watching Lu Dachi's big slap fall again and again, Ding Li doubted whether the beaten brother could bear it, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop the other party, and added with a smile and what he just said: "In fact, it can also be said to be a robbery, but because the matter is too important, it's not that I don't believe everyone, but it's too time-consuming to explain, and now the time is pressing, so I won't explain it in detail!" As long as we do what I say, our mission will be completed! ”

"Brother Li, just tell them how to do it! Just do it! Most of the people present were Lu Dachi's people, and even seven of the ten brothers selected by Aguda were Mongolian sons, Lu Dachi didn't want Ding Li to speak like that, so he directly waved his hand and urged Ding Li to cut to the point.

"Good, good! After a while, I'm afraid I'm going to make your brothers suffer! Ding Li smiled and nodded, and made a circle at Lu Dachi and everyone, don't look at this gesture politely, but the next words made everyone gasp, and even stunned in place for a long time, only to see Ding Li pointed to the direction leading to Guangzhou City and said: "I personally inspected the terrain just now, there is a slope about fifty steps forward, the slope is not big but long enough, the situation is similar, but the slope is steeper, but the slope is steeper, later, the brothers will go over the slope and dig three traps!" According to the width of the convoy on the official road, if you want to ambush the accompanying guards, you need to be at least eight to ten zhang wide! Due to the close time, there are not many width and depth requirements, so everyone can weigh it themselves! But you must insert a horn gun and a bamboo gun in the pit! Although those who don't have to fall into it will definitely die, at least they can't be allowed to come out of the pit and fight back! ”

After that, Ding Li looked at everyone's surprised expressions and could understand it in his heart, paused slightly, and after seeing that everyone reacted one after another, he clapped his hands and signaled everyone to continue to listen to his own arrangements, and then Ding Li stretched out his hand and pointed on both sides of the official road, and continued: "The trap is mainly to cause chaos to the enemy, and the lethality is not too ideal, but everyone also saw the guys we brought, those short crossbows are not used for decoration!" One hand, one hand, and then unify to the sunspot to receive crossbow arrows! In addition to the trap pit on the slope, the position on both sides of the official road from one to three steps away from the woods should also be dug, and it should be dug into small ones. ”

This finally made the people who listened to breathe a sigh of relief, the three horse traps on the side of the slope are undoubtedly a big project, if Ding Li said that there are still three such roads on both sides of the official road, everyone is afraid that they will have to pick and scold their mothers.

"Okay, okay, time is pressing, so I won't arrange more, everyone try to do it!" Ding Li saw that everyone was re-energized, smiled and clapped his hands, took the lead in bending down to pick up a hoe, and reminded everyone loudly while walking towards the slope: "Brothers, the gate of Fuxu Town is also about to open, according to the time we came, with the speed of the caravan, it will be possible to arrive in two hours at most, so our task this time is still very arduous, I hope the brothers will work hard!" ”

"Brother Li! What do I do with that guy? As soon as Aguda picked up an iron pickaxe from the ground, he suddenly remembered that there was a burden on the extra mount he had brought with him, and it was one of the assassins who had assassinated Zhang Wu at the docks two days ago, and hurriedly asked Ding Li in a loud voice.

"It's strong, it will be useful later!" Ding Li didn't reply, and strode towards the side of the slope with a hoe on his shoulder, which surprised Lu Dachi and the others who followed closely, Ding Li at this time looked completely like a peasant who got up early to farm.

For Ding Li, the trapping is not unfamiliar, and the Mongolian sons and daughters selected by Ding Li for Lu Dachi are also very familiar with this, although most of them grew up in Guangzhou, but they have Mongolian blood in their bones. Even these people's riding skills Ding Li have been seen on the way here, not at all like ordinary gang members, even Ding Li, who has also undergone rigorous training before, is deeply admired by this, and is worthy of being a natural horseback nation.

Ding Li immediately ordered to leave ten brothers to continue to expand the excavation, and he took the rest of the people to the other side of the slope and began to select the location of the small horse trap along both sides of the official road.

After all the trap pits that needed to be excavated began to take shape, Ding Li, who was sweating profusely, found that the hour was already halfway over, and then looked at the people around who were busy wielding iron pickaxes and hoes, Ding Li stopped his movements and put the hoe in his arms, and shouted to Lu Dachi on the opposite side of the official road: "Lu Dachi, let the brothers rest, drink some water, eat a few bites of mutton with you to pad your stomach, and turn around and finish your work, I will ask the brothers to eat the best!" ”

"Okay, brothers, Brother Li has spoken, rest for a while, eat and drink! I'll do it later! In his cognition, he heard that his clansmen used to fight, digging horse pits, and these things were all hard work done by recruits, and even when he was working just now, Lu Dachi regretted that he had made up his mind to follow Ding Li last night to 'fight side by side'.

"Brother Li, this job is nothing, let the brothers have a drink, can it?" Aguda, who was digging a horse pit on the other side of the slope, immediately dropped the iron pickaxe in his hand after hearing the order to rest, panting and dragging his heavy legs as heavy as lead to the slope quickly, his legs were weak and he sat down on the ground, and shouted to Ding Li weakly: "Take a few sips of wine to relieve fatigue!" ”

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen pairs of wolf-like eyes on both sides of the official road suddenly converged on Ding Li, and at the same time, he felt a deep gratitude to Aguda in his heart, and Aguda's words completely shouted out everyone's hearts.

Seeing this, Ding Li did not hesitate, most of the people present were Mongolian children, Ding Li could also understand these people's habit of drinking, even if he nodded in agreement, but waved to everyone and said: "Drink, no problem!" But don't drink too much! When this is over, I will invite my brothers to have a drink when I go back! ”

"Brother Li, don't worry, the brothers know it!" When Lu Dachi heard this, he was afraid that Ding Li would suddenly regret it, so he hurriedly smiled and waved at Ding Li, and without waiting for everyone to make a move, the tired legs were suddenly full of strength, and he quickly turned around and jumped into the woods on the side of the official road, and went straight to his mount, skillfully untying the wine and meat tied to the side of the saddle.

Maybe everyone didn't expect Ding Li to agree to Aguda's request for everyone so easily, until Lu Dachi carried a wine bag in one hand and mutton in the other hand and tore out of the woods in his mouth and appeared in everyone's sight, everyone suddenly reacted, and immediately dropped the guy in his hand and turned around and rushed to his mount to get the wine and meat.

Although there is wine and meat, but there is no rich time for everyone to enjoy at the moment, not even less than a stick of incense, Ding Li filled a whole piece of mutton into his belly, then picked up the hoe again and continued to dig the horse pit, but Ding Li did not open his mouth to urge everyone, but even so, most of the people present were bold people, how could they tolerate eating and drinking but let Ding Li, who was the leader, work by himself, and after a few glances to each other, he also started working again.

Maybe it's true that a small amount of wine can relieve people's fatigue, or maybe it's Ding Li's actions that make everyone's spirits double, this time it took a full hour, during which everyone was rushing to work, no one shouted tired, and no one thought about stealing and playing tricks.

Breaking the three horse traps over there, there are dozens of horse traps on both sides of the official road, and under Ding Li's personal guidance, the disguise on the horse trap can't even be seen by themselves at a glance, if it weren't for the marks made in advance, Ding Li even suspected that they would fall into the horse trap if they entered the woods on both sides.

With a sense of accomplishment, Aguda followed Ding Li to inspect all the traps, and finally his eyes fell on the only trap that had not been covered with weeds and fine soil, and saw that the hour was almost away from his own calculation, and couldn't help but look at Ding Li suspiciously and asked: "Brother Li, the hour is almost up, that one has to hurry!" ”

"Well, it's time to try the power!" Ding Li nodded with a smile, turned around and patted Aguda's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's hard brother to go again, bring the guy who assassinated the martial brother here, and by the way, let the brothers also come over to see the achievements of such a long time!" ”
