Chapter 45: A Beautiful Ambush

Chao Qiang was more or less nervous when he heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, but after calming down, he felt that the enemy was clear and the enemy was dark, and the initiative was in his own hands. Then he looked at the terrain around him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"When you go to the army to fight, you can't just rely on brute force to fight, you have to use a lot of stratagems. We are at a disadvantage with few people, and if you don't have horses, you will become ambushes, digging pits and traps here. We'll buy you time and lure the enemy ......"

When Chao Qiang had an idea, he immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered loudly to arrange manpower.

When the two Chaofu guards heard the roll call, they immediately turned over and dismounted. With about 20 big men, he began to dig shallow pits and bury ropes......

Guo Sheng selected two men with good martial arts skills from among his subordinates to go to battle, and smiled at Chao Qiang: "Brother, I didn't expect you to know the art of war." ”

"Yes, the plan is very good, and the little brother admires it."

Yang Lin just came back in time to hear these words, and he also praised Chong Chaoqiang. After learning that this was the team of the gangster Chao Gai Chao Tianwang, he took refuge in his heart. At least it is much better to work on the village than to wander the rivers and lakes.

"Hey, where do I understand, I learned it from my master." Chao Qiang waved his hand awkwardly, and said with some admiration: "He is a hero who can write and martial arts, you will understand after you see him." ”

"How so? The little brother can't wait. Guo Sheng and Yang Lin exclaimed and looked at each other.

Especially Guo Sheng's curiosity is bursting, and he has only been together for two days, but he already understands that this black man has an upright personality, likes to scold but never brags. However, the use of the word "hero of the world" to describe others can be seen. Chao Tianwang must be as great a hero as rumored in the rivers and lakes.

Chao Qiang instructed him to see that there was no mistake, and then let Yang Lin sit here and listen to the order, and then went straight to the chasing soldiers with Guo Sheng with a dozen horses. Considering that it would kill people, everyone took a cloth and covered their cheeks.

Half a tea time turned around the hillside, and I saw dozens of horses galloping in front of me. Those horses are strong and powerful, and they are also good horses in the Northland. Dozens of paces later, nearly 100 bad horses, mules, and then smoke and dust billowed from there. There was a crowd of black presses, not to mention more than 200 people.

The two sides took a look at each other, Chao Qiang, Guo Sheng could see the enemy's reality clearly, and the two of them together felt that the dozens of horsemen in the front would pose a threat. As for the bad horses used to make up the numbers in the back, they can be dragged alive when they run by hanging.

Destroy the fast horses in front of you, and the rest is not to worry about.

They saw the pursuers, and the other party also saw more than a dozen oncoming horsemen. Sairengui Guo Sheng was so eye-catching that he was immediately recognized.

"The one who wears a white robe and holds a halberd is him."

"Don't talk about masking your face, even if you turn to ashes, I'll recognize it."

"Rush, catch him quickly, the master said that the reward will be hundreds."

……

"His grandmother's, 100 yuan money?" Guo Sheng was furious when he heard the reward. He has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he is a good martial artist, but he is only worth a hundred dollars.

"Hahaha, brother, don't be angry, I'm worthless." Chao Qiang couldn't help laughing: "Act according to the plan, and endure for a moment, this battle is destined to be famous all over the world." ”

"By my brother's auspicious words, this matter started because of me, how can there be a reason to retreat?" Guo Sheng pressed the thought of rushing to kill, and stared at the opposite side with a pair of tiger eyes. These sloppy people despise him, and then make the birds look good.

"Well, that thief injured the eldest young master, and Hugh let him run away." When the enemy met, his eyes were red, and the roar in the crowd of pursuers was like thunder, and he rushed towards him.

"Oh mom, run!" Chao Qiang didn't say a word, and fled with the team. The accompanying guards were ordered to pretend to be panicked. Screaming and screaming, slapping horses and whips, as if fleeing in a panic.

"Chase, Hugh is going to let them go!"

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the thugs of the Wang family are chasing after them. Relying on the strength of the crowd and the fearlessness, what wind and waves can more than ten people stir up?

The dozens of good horses spread their hooves and galloped, and soon left behind the group.

But both sides are obviously good horses in the Northland. The horses under the crotch of Chao Qiang and the others had thicker limbs, ran faster, and easily hung their pursuers.

Guo Sheng had already noticed this, and asked what was going on while looking back at the situation. Chao Qiang did not hide it, so he told the reason succinctly. Immediately, this young hero was a little more curious about Chao Gai.

What's going on?

It turned out that Chao Qiang said that his master had said that horses should also eat and drink well and supplement their nutrition. The leftover bones were collected, dried, ground into powder, mixed with feed, water, and the horses grew stronger over the years.

In summary, horses need to be supplemented with calcium.

This is the local method that Chao Gai learned from Tibetan herdsmen in Tibetan areas in later generations. After Guo Sheng heard about it, even if he was arrogant, he sighed to himself.

The horses led by Chao Qiang were fast, and they kept a distance of forty or fifty paces. And because he was most familiar with the road he came, he ran wildly in the direction of Qufu.

Dozens of horsemen behind him chased after each other, and some people took off their hard bows and bent bows and arrows on their horses, but unfortunately they were all nurses, and they were born in Zhuangke, and their training was not satisfactory. Most of the arrows are missed, and even if they hit, they are easily blocked. No one saw the subtlety of the cavalry formation in front.

Almost after a stick of incense, Chao Qiang and the others pretended to have no horsepower, rushed into a mountain road in all directions, and approached the ambush site in a roundabout way.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and soon they arrived at the previous camp.

Chao Qiang, Guo Sheng's mother screamed strangely, like a gust of wind whistling by. The pursuers behind were so bold and imposing that they were chasing after them.

Just as they rushed into the relatively flat terrain, a mutation sprung up.

From the forest came a loud shout "Cut me", and the clicking sound continued. Thick hemp ropes suddenly bounced off the ground and straightened to form a tripwire. The horses in the front row were caught off guard and tripped over, the horses roared and neighed, and the horses flipped on their backs. Some of the horses behind were implicated, and some of the horses raised their front hooves in a panic, flipped the knight on horseback to the ground and fell to the ground.

It's still good, some were trampled by horses' hooves and screamed or even killed directly. The cavalry in the rear noticed the change and knew that the enemy was in ambush. These people are powerful and lucky, and when they encounter something, they will be cowardly, and they will flee when they pat their horses.

But I wanted to leave, but it was too late!

There was a constant sound of swishing through the air, and many arrows flew out of the trees on the side. Many people couldn't dodge the arrows one after another, some fell off their horses, and some howled miserably.

At this time, Chao Qiang and Guo Sheng had already turned the horse's head and shouted and killed. Especially Guo Sheng, who was dressed in a white robe, was like an arrow from the string, and was the first to enter the enemy group. The BMW under the crotch, the halberd in the palm of the hand, there is no enemy.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain of the Wang family's guard wanted to escape with a few of his subordinates. But he was intercepted by Yang Lin and others who came out of the forest. Rushing left and right, he couldn't escape, and the captain of the guard was also stabbed to death by Yang Lin.

Then cooperate with the horse team to outflank the enemy or steal the horse.

The ambush battle was soon over, perfect.

More than twenty of the dozens of pursuers died, and all the rest surrendered, and not a single one escaped. Only a few of them were slightly injured, but there were no casualties. However, it was at the juncture of packing up the spoils of war and tying up the captives.

In the distance, there was another rumbling of horses' hooves, approaching rapidly, and the pebbles on the ground were trembling. Far from being comparable to before, the flags of the officers and soldiers can be faintly seen fluttering.

How could there be a brigade of officers and soldiers here?

Chao Qiang, Guo Sheng, and Yang Lin's faces were quite ugly. Immediately took care of those captives, and immediately led people to lead the war horses to quickly leave this place of right and wrong.

……

Let's talk about the smiling tiger Zhu Fu, the poisonous starling brother Chen Bao led the team to evacuate first, although he was reluctant, but he could only go first when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

The two guards of Chaofu took the lead, and the team accelerated and moved towards the southwest. Zhu Fu personally led a few people to break off the rear to prevent there from chasing soldiers behind.

About an hour later, almost thirty or forty miles were walked without pursuers. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to Yuncheng County normally.

The smiling tiger Zhu Fu had a sad face and kept looking behind, but he didn't see Chao Qiang for a long time, Guo Sheng led the team to catch up, and he was very anxious. When he was helpless, until he met a team outside Jeju City, the surprise call of the guards in front of him made him almost cry.

"Master, it's the master, and the third master. Shopkeeper Zhu, we don't have to run away. ”

Zhu Fu was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly rode a mule from the back to the front. Sure enough, a team of more than 300 people in the ramp seemed to have just left Jeju City. After hearing someone shouting, he immediately turned around and approached.

At the head of the horse was a big man as strong as an iron tower, with a beard on his face, a luxurious brocade robe, a black leather armor, and a heroic coat. Carrying a waist knife cross-body, sitting on a tall horse, majestic.

On the left hand side is a scribe with a long white beard and a feather fan. On the right-hand side is a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, also wearing leather armor.

Who can these three people be if they are not Chao Gai, Shi Xiu, and Wu Yong?

To say that Chao Gai didn't order to go out of the house less and not cause trouble, how could it be here?

In this way, children have no mothers, and it's a long story!

But having said that, Chao Gai really doesn't want to be too ostentatious and suspicious, but the plan can't catch up with the changes, and once people become famous, someone will come to find them.

First, Chao Gai led the militia to resist the strongmen in Yuncheng County.

The second is to set up porridge sheds everywhere to help the poor people, and the good reputation spreads. The governor of Jeju heard of his name and invited him to the state capital.

For the time being, Master Chao, who is still a docile and good citizen, has to go. Two days ago, I came to Jeju and carefully selected a few antiques from the secret room as a gift.

Unexpectedly, maybe this gift was not good, or maybe this Shi Zhizhou also took the wrong medicine, and invited him to be the envoy of the three capitals.

In the end, he naturally declined politely, and quietly reached a long-term sales agreement with the governor of the state. After all, this guy is not clean underneath, and he is even more greedy. Originally, the trajectory was the end of exile, and if it could be used, it would be used.

Chao Gai couldn't just come to bow to others when he went back and forth to Jeju City, and under the introduction of Wu Yong, he also put the holy hand scholar Xiao Rang and the jade arm craftsman Jin Dajian said that they would move into the gang and work together. By the way, many craftsmen were recruited in the city with high salaries.

Only then did the mighty procession leave Jeju City and return to Yunseong the same way. I never thought that the world was impermanent, and I met Zhu Fu and others a few miles away in the state city!
