Chapter 700: The Wind
Because the nearby rebel rangers have not been wiped out before, before leaving, the king coffin guarding the city specially told us to be careful of the enemy's ambush and sneak attack along the way, and two of the soldiers they sent out to contact yesterday disappeared on the way to Erliu City.
So when I'm on the road, I turn on the phase qi technique from time to time to prevent sneak attacks.
But you don't have to be so nervous, these two ghosts around me, not to mention in the yang realm, even in the underworld itself, are also ruthless characters who take the head of Jiang among the ten thousand armies, and it should be the misfortune of the enemies when they encounter the enemy.
But after all, I really detected it, in a mountain in the middle of Erqi City and Erliu City, we just climbed a mountain beam along the coffin road, in front of which is a gourd-shaped valley, the coffin road winds at the bottom of the valley, and the slopes on both sides are all dense forests, which is where the soldiers must lie down.
The phase qi technique showed that in the dense forest, there were at least two thousand ghosts in ambush, no need to ask, it must be a rebel, and it was also a cavalry, because the lawn between the valley floor and the hillside was bare, and it was obviously eaten by a large number of war horses.
I pointed to the ambush, told the baby and the slave, and asked them if they would go around or rush straight over.
"I know this way," said the little slave, "if you go around it, you will have to walk for an hour, and I am afraid that the black impermanent lord will not be able to wait."
"But rush hard, I'm worried about the firearms in the ambush soldiers' hands," Zheng Baobao sat on horseback, hugged his shoulders, and calmly analyzed, "Look at those trees, half of the leaves are scorched, obviously there are a few gunmen, there through the leaves, carried out an attack, the leaves were ignited by the gunpowder in the gun's mouth."
"You're pretty knowledgeable about firearms." I laughed, she said that the hell has its own bird gun, that broken thing is not very powerful, the smoke and fire when launched is very large, mainly because the energy of black powder is relatively low, every time it is launched, it needs to be filled a lot, and the sealing between the gun pipe and the projectile is not in place, resulting in excess gunpowder, burning and leaking from the gun, igniting the things next to it.
"After all, I used to lead troops in battle, so I don't need to, but I can't understand it." Zheng Baobao said.
"So, you think you should take a detour?" I asked.
The baby asked me, "Will Master Wu compromise?" I don't believe it."
Yard, I really planned to make a detour, but I was so provoked by her, I couldn't say anything about the detour, so I could only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm and light a cigarette: "Don't worry, let's get off the horse and rest for a while, the ambush soldiers should have discovered us, let's take a static brake and see what they plan."
I rolled over and dismounted, sat down on a flat stone, and smoked a special cigarette made with saffron as I thought about what to do.
It is not realistic to completely annihilate this ambush, even if there are these two masters, they can't do it, because they are cavalry, and their mobility is too strong, and if they kill one hundred and eighty of them, it is estimated that they will have to run away, and it doesn't matter if they run, I am afraid that they will implement a long-distance "kite-flying" style of play against us, and consume us to death little by little.
After a cigarette is smoked, the enemy does not move, and in the field of vision of the phase qi technique, it seems to be two thousand poetic bodies, I especially envy their war horses, which are really well-trained, not to mention running around, not even a neighing horse, I don't know if it is a "horse bit", that is, a thing placed in the horse's mouth to prevent them from calling.
I got up and patted the drum, and Zheng Baobao immediately asked, "Ready to go?"
"Hmm...... Yes, get on the horse." I said, I still can't do it, I'm not afraid of death, I can be resurrected, mainly because I'm afraid of trouble.
The three of them turned over and got on the horse, I was just about to admit it, announced the detour plan, inadvertently, I saw the cigarette butt that was still on the ground just now, ignited a small piece of dead grass, this is a mountain pass, the wind is relatively strong, the small flames spread out half a meter away along the grass, and then stopped, because there is no other dead grass around, can only be extinguished in situ, and the direction of the wind, is pointing to the valley below, the wind is blowing from behind us.
Hey? There's a way!
I immediately began to observe the direction of the wind at the bottom of the valley with the naked eye, and it was the same, the whole gourd-shaped valley seemed to be a big tunnel, and the wind blew through the whole valley from our side and leaked out from the bottom of the gourd on the other side.
