[271] Ambush

"It's okay if you don't give it. King Ji Yu raised his eyebrows, snorted angrily, and said very ridiculously: "I will write to my grandfather later, and ask him to inform the Yellow Emperor that after mobilizing the bear army to capture the Nine Shadows Kingdom, we will go and get it ourselves." ”。

"Don't, don't. Thrush saw that he had been tricked, but in order to ensure that there was no mistake, he still pretended to be panicked, and after waving his hand again and again, he said honestly: "Even if you add it, the tribute will be sent to you as soon as I return to China." ”。

King Ji Yu looked at her frightened and trembling slightly, laughed, handed the silk book to his minister, and said loudly: "Go and add it." ”。

And the timidity shown by the thrush made King Ji Yu even more arrogant, and he didn't even dig into whether there was any danger behind this "nothing to do".

"No. The minister answered, and went out with the silk book.

After a while, he walked back and handed it to King Ji Yu to look at.

King Ji Yu glanced at it hastily, nodded with satisfaction, took out his big seal, covered it, and threw the silk book directly to the thrush, and said very arrogantly: "Sign it." ”。

The thrush swallowed his anger and picked up the silk book, and after a few hasty glances at the content on it, he unwillingly asked his subordinates to bring a pen, wrote his name on it, and then returned the peace book belonging to King Ji Yu to the other party respectfully.

"Drop-off. King Ji Yu, who didn't know that he was already in the middle of the plan, waved his hand and said to the ministers beside him: "Go and mobilize 10,000 soldiers now, take this peace book, and go to the four cities in the south of the three-body country before entering the throne." If the local Nine Ghost Army dares not to give it, they will be beaten until they give it. ”。

Holding his own share of the silk book, he walked out of Huangmi City dejectedly, and the thrush found a secluded place, reversed his previous depressed look, and watched a large number of Ji Yu's national troops running out of the city, heading towards the southwest, leaving a long dust trail on the wilderness, raising the corners of his mouth lightly, and smiling slightly.

After she burned the ridiculous peace talks, she asked the fungus man hidden in the clothes of her subordinates to hurriedly send a message to the ghost captive, so that he could ambush the arrogant King Ji Yu, and send out the army to take the four southern cities to prepare, and then take his subordinates and gallop to the north.

She walked for another two days before she came to the border of Xiaofeng County, and before she entered, she saw that the troops in the border city had increased. The ghosts in the city were crowded with ghosts, making this small border city suddenly crowded.

When I walked into the city, I saw Yu Rong, who should have been far away in Danshui County, and greeted him.

The thrush frowned, and after saluting suspiciously, he asked, "Commander Yurong, aren't you stationed in Danshui County, why do you have time to come to my desolate place?"

"On the orders of the lord, he led an army of 30,000 in Danshui County to slaughter Ji Yuguo. Yu Rong smiled, didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Lord Thrush, have you confused the other party?"

Since the Nine Shadows Kingdom secretly switched to using a fungus person who can connect each other's consciousness as a liaison officer, it has greatly improved the well-informed information and the speed of mobilizing the army.

Just five days ago, when the thrush had just set off, Yu Rong received an order from Xiao Shizhu. In addition, a bridge connecting Danshui County and Xiaofeng County was built on the Cangwu Abyss, so it only took one day for his army to be mobilized to rush to the designated place to stand by.

"Yes, he had sent ten thousand soldiers to the four southern cities by the time I left. The thrush nodded his head and asked bluntly: "You said that the lord transferred you to slaughter the city, doesn't the lord want to forgive King Ji Yu this time?"

"Yes, tolerance is not suitable for a fanatic like King Ji Yu. Yu Rong smiled lightly, shook his head gently, and said very excitedly: "The lord wants to calm the hidden dangers in the southeast." Based on your plan, he implemented a chain of schemes. The order given to me is to let me come from Danshui County and work with the ghost captive general to flank and slaughter the Ji Yu country, leaving no Ji Yu people behind. ”。

"At the same time, Lord Hu Hui has set off from Yankong County and headed for the Egg Republic of China. After a pause, Yu Rong ignored the widening of his eyes and the incredible thrush on his face, and said, "Like you, I sent jewels to the King of the Egg People to sue for peace, but I didn't propose to cede the city. The intention is to paralyze the Egg Folk King, let him make a temporary truce, and give us time to slaughter the Ji Yu Kingdom. ”。

The wind blew, blowing the thrush's coat fluttering and bulging. But it couldn't blow away the consternation on her face. Xiao Shizhu's reaction was too fast, not to mention, he was so bold that he dared to use the fact that these two countries were selfish and could not support each other to deceive each other, which made the thrush stunned, but also admired Xiao Shizhu.

"Why don't you have to slaughter the city, right?" Thrush bit his lip and frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "It's okay to conquer it and collect it as our people." ”。

"Then when we turn our heads and fight the Republic of China, we will be unstable in the rear. In a short period of time, it is necessary to pay manpower and material resources to stabilize the rear, and the war against the Republic of China is bound to be unsmooth. Yu Rong smiled dumbly, and there was a hint of contempt in that smile, as if to say that Thrush really didn't understand war.

"War is originally life and death, how can we live if they don't die. The next second later, Yu Rong saw a trace of unbearability flashing in her eyes, and said: "The lord said, he learned through the mother of the country that King Ji Yu is very arrogant and arrogant, such ghosts are crazy, and there will be endless troubles if he is left behind, and he will think about it again one day." And Ji Yumin, almost all of them have been taught by words and deeds to become this virtue, so they must be wiped out while their number is not too large, and there will be no future troubles. ”。

"You just need to manage the Howling Wind County and settle down, and leave the war to us. After Yu Rong bowed his hand, he said, "Then Lord Thrush, the last general will not bother, I have to go and see how the sergeants are prepared." ”。

After speaking, he walked straight forward, leaving the thrush standing alone in the wind, recalling Yu Rong's previous words, and was stunned......

Directly south of the Howling Wind Plain, the Great Lonely City, the Little Lonely City, the Big Rock City, and the Little Rock City are arranged in four directions on the edge of the wilderness.

These are the four cities known as the four cities in the south of the Howling Wind Plain, and now they have become the border cities of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. After sending the thrush away, the ghost captives led their army to camp here.

But when he arrived, he received a report from the thrush. The ghost captives didn't care about resting, so they hurriedly organized an army and rushed to the lonely mountain pass between the big lonely city and the small lonely city in the west, and laid an ambush.

In a wilderness where nothing but sand and rocks are located, it is not easy to set up an ambush. The Xiao family army had to disperse, and after the flag died down, they hid behind the rocks on both sides of the lonely mountain pass.

Fortunately, these rocks are huge, and it is not a problem to hide seven or eight ghosts under one rock, otherwise it will be a problem to conceal them, let alone ambush.

After settling down, the ghost captives raised their eyes and looked eastward, and saw the dust rising from the undulating hills east of the lonely mountain, and it was vaguely seen that there were countless banners hunting in the wind, coming towards this side.

"There are at least 20,000 enemy troops. The adjutant black kite looked up, counted the banners carefully, frowned and whispered, "Could it be that Lord Thrush's information is wrong?"

After speaking, he looked around again, and saw that there were only 5,000 soldiers around him, and he was somewhat worried, so he asked again: "General, can you ask the last general to send someone back to the city and transfer some soldiers and horses over?"

"It's too late. The ghost's eyes burst out with a fierce light, and he said excitedly: "Pass on our military order, this battle enemy will not be destroyed, and our army must not retreat." ”。

"No. The black kite answered, turned and went to give orders.

In less than a moment, the enemy army was already in front of the mountain pass.

The Nine Shadows Army condensed and looked closely, but saw that the enemy army in front of them was divided into eight phalanxes, each of which was divided into eight rows, and they were marching in unison towards the west.

Each enemy soldier was dressed in a yellow robe and rattan armor, holding a specially made Changge of Broken Souls. In each phalanx, there were ten chariots pulled by a kind of red rhinoceros called the Red Flame Rhinoceros on the Howling Wind Plains, which can withstand high temperatures, and on the roof of the chariots was a repeating crossbow that could fire hundreds of arrows. The car was surrounded by infantry, and above the periphery were hundreds of Jiyu cavalry riding giant fire lizards unique to the Howling Wind Plain.

Judging from this posture and equipment, the other party should be King Ji Yu's royal division.

Plants are scarce on the Howling Wind Plain, and Jiyu is no exception. Only Wang Shi can equip this kind of rattan soaked in water for half a month, then taken out to dry for three days, then soaked in oil for a week and then taken out to dry, and finally coated with tung oil to make rattan armor.

Compared with metal armor, rattan armor is not only hard, but also has the characteristics of light weight, not afraid of water and strong air permeability, so it greatly improves the mobility of the army.

When the ghost captives saw this, they were not surprised. Although this rattan armor is hard, it is particularly afraid of fire. And in the hands of his army, the most important thing is the incendiary canister created by Xiao Shizhu.

The enemy army is getting closer and closer, but they don't know that behind the rocks dotted on the hillside, there is the Nine Shadows Army lurking for them.

When most of the enemy troops let go of the mountain pass, the ghost captive raised his arm without hesitation and waved it at the enemy army below the mountain. The Nine Shadows Army on the mountain rushed out from behind the rocks one after another.

With a loud bang, the Nine Ghost Army threw the burning canisters that had been ignited in their hands towards the enemy one after another. Many Jiuyou troops also took the opportunity to quickly set up the tiger squat cannon, and after loading it, they opened fire on the enemy chariots under the mountain.

The sand and stones flew under the rumbling loud sound, and dozens of chariots of Ji Yu's army instantly turned into broken wood, and hundreds of sergeants were shot out of the shattered incendiary canisters and flames splashed onto their bodies, instantly becoming a fire ghost with flames all over their bodies.

They wanted to roll on the spot and extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the vine armor was flammable because of the tung oil, and they couldn't take it off after burning, and the flames grew wildly with the wind, but a few breaths made them scatter under the scorching flames.

The artillery was endless, and the red cannonballs accompanied the incendiary canisters towards the Ji Yu army that burst into red fire at the foot of the mountain. As the air wave rose, the burning Ji Yu army scattered and fled, implicating many companions.

The Ji Yu army under the mountain was suddenly in a mess.
