Chapter 3 Ambush
It has been more than 20 days since the city of Chu was broken, and the coolness of autumn gradually spread, and the army of the Harvey Empire has approached the place where the Chu State and the Song State meet, where it confronts the army of the Huayuan Empire, according to the Harvey soldiers who escorted the prisoners of war, the strength of the two sides of the Harvey Empire and the Huayuan Empire seems to be about the same, and there may be a period of confrontation between the two sides, of course, from the mouths of those Harvey soldiers, in the end, Harvey must win. However, most of these people who walked in front of the prisoners of war were officers of the Chu State, and of course they were unremittingly concerned about this statement of the Harvey soldiers, they had their own analysis, and they always believed their own analysis. Kong Ming is also thinking about these things, trying to figure out a way to escape from this life, this is indeed a good opportunity for Kong Ming, because in his opinion that the Harvey Empire is a must-lose, first, Harvey is a labor expedition, and for the Yan and Chu countries they conquered, they have not left more time to stabilize the people of these two countries, although they use a large number of people who surrender or take refuge in them, but more people will come out to resist, after all, too many people have died in this war, this kind of hatred between countries can not be eliminated in a day or two, and second, in this war, it is all carried out in Chu State, thus destroying the foundation of the Chu State, the Harvey Empire must transport more materials from the country to the front line to support the war, although they can use the space ring and the teleportation array to transport, but you must know that the space cannot be put into another space ring, otherwise it will cause the space to superimpose and destroy the space ring, on the other hand, the energy consumption of the teleportation array is also quite large, even if the Harvey Empire can support this consumption, but it can't support the consumption of people, not to mention that once the war starts, the people of the two countries that have just surrendered will rise up to fight, and if Harvey sends more troops over, then the surroundings of their own country will definitely not be stable。 Third, as this war reaches its present level, the apex of the Harvey army has arrived, and if this apex is passed, then all the gains of the Harvey army will be in vain, and the apex of the war is the apex of the maximum combat power that an army can achieve, and if it continues to attack once it crosses the apex of the war, then this army will inevitably fail. Kong Ming judged that Harvey would be defeated, and at this time he had to take the opportunity to escape, otherwise once Harvey was defeated, then the fate of these prisoners of war would be very tragic. But now is still not the time, because it is too close to Chudu now, which means that even if they can escape, they can't escape far, and now the Harvey people prefer a few people to escape, so that they can erect a model, which is more convenient for future management, that is, they are also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for them to clear the restless elements among the prisoners of war, and this opportunity will only appear in these days, because it is close to the Harvey brigade troops, if it is too far away, they can't rescue, too close, the prisoners of war don't dare to escape, so in these few days, it is the best time。
Kong Ming walked forward with the team, from the beginning of the departure, they have been walking for more than ten days, here is only more than four hundred kilometers away from Chudu, a cavalry can be reached in just one day, and here in addition to a hill that Kong Ming saw from afar, it is really a flat river, in Kong Ming's opinion, if the opportunity for the Harvey people to wait will be in front of the visible hill group, because only there may be an ambush, if there is no ambush, then they will also create an ambush to lure out the restless elements in the prisoner of war team, you must know that the news of the confrontation between the Harvey people and the Huayuan Empire is what they released, and a large part of the decline of the Chu State is due to Harvey's use of the traitors of the Chu State, and now there must be their internal response in the prisoner of war camps, which is their consistent style.
Thinking of this, Kong Ming looked left and right, he had been walking for more than ten days in a row, most of the prisoners of war looked quite tired, many of them had blisters under their feet, and some of the wounded were even more staggering, as if they were going to die at any time, but that's it, those Harvey soldiers still used the whips in their hands to constantly beat the prisoners of war who couldn't walk fast, and kept insulting in their mouths, no longer in Chudu, they didn't need to have any scruples, and they knew that the teams that could take on this kind of task were some second-rate troops, and the first-class troops would only be at the front of the battlefield, not engaged in this kind of hard work。 In fact, most of the things that Kong Ming didn't see, or someone deliberately didn't let them see it, because they were walking in front, behind them, there were constantly wounded people left behind, and then they directly let these Harvey people kill them, and they didn't even bury them, because there was no time.
"Yang Li. Kong Ming called out and was still looking at the same prisoners of war around him, cursing Yang Li of the Harvey Empire in his heart.
"What's the matter?" Yang Li said helplessly, the situation around him was indeed very depressing, the spirit of the Harvey people and the sadness of the Chu people were in stark contrast.
"Be careful. Kong Ming said in a low voice, "There is something wrong ahead. ”
"What's wrong?" Yang Li's expression tightened, and he replied in a low voice, his years of military career had given him a better understanding of Kong Ming's words.
"There may be an ambush ahead. Kong Ming said in a low voice.
As Kong Ming's voice fell, a cold light flashed from the corner of Yang Li's eyes, obviously Yang Li knew something, but he didn't want to tell Kong Ming, and Kong Ming didn't see the cold in Yang Li's eyes.
"Our people?" Yang Li asked cautiously, he was listening to Kong Ming's tone to determine how much Kong Ming knew about these, and if Kong Ming knew more, he didn't mind letting Kong Ming have some accidents, for him, a person who had been wandering among the nobles of Chu for a long time and was used to intrigues, this thing was too easy, but Kong Ming's next words directly made Yang Li stupid.
"Yes and no," Kong Ming nodded at first, then shook his head and said.
"Is it really?" Yang Li hurriedly asked.
"Yes, that's because there are our men in ambush there, and if it's not, it's because there are Harvey's men in ambush outside of them, waiting for them to fall into the trap. ”
"Why do you think so?" Yang Li controlled the excitement in his heart, because he knew who did this ambush, but he didn't know who to save, but he was fortunate to know this plan, of course, he was also one of the rescued, but he also knew that Kong Ming was not among them, because Kong Ming was not a Chu person, sometimes things are so simple, although Kong Ming came to Chu to participate in the battle, morally speaking, Chu people should think of Kong Ming a little bit of everything, but Xiang Tiancheng, who is the Grand Duke of Chu State, except for the pretense at the beginning to solicit Kong Ming's opinion, and express his own Lixian corporal, he no longer took any care of Kong Ming, He didn't even think about Kong Ming's retreat from the teleportation array, for him, Kong Ming was just a mercenary of the Chu State, just a person who came to fight for money, although he used to be a classmate, but what did it matter? Many years later, when Kong Ming saw Xiang Tiancheng again, Kong Ming didn't ask him why he didn't save himself, why did he give up Chu Du? In Kong Ming's eyes, he is just a passerby, because when Chu was the most difficult, Kong Ming went to Chu to fight, and when Kong Ming was the most difficult, Xiang Tiancheng thought about himself, this is the difference, it is this difference that makes it impossible for them to become true friends. And Yang Li in front of him is obviously the same, the friendship between Kong Ming and him is only a prisoner of war for more than 20 days, he can't let himself be rescued such an opportunity to share with Kong Ming, and Kong Ming is the same for this, he who has been betrayed can no longer trust a person who has not had a deep friendship for more than 20 days. But it is obviously not the time to think about these things, the mountain is in front of you, the battle is coming, no matter how Kong Ming can't be the object of rescue, but he wants to fight for a chance for himself, this opportunity is not to let those Chu people rescue him, but a chance for him to escape at any time, this opportunity to control zhì in his own hands is far better than letting people grasp it, because the opportunity for others to control zhì will be known by many people, only his own ability is no one can take away, and now this opportunity is in front of Yang Li's body。
"What's so difficult about this, the news of the confrontation between Harvey and the Huayuan Empire has been circulating in the past few days, and this kind of news should have been forbidden to circulate among us, only in this way will it be easier for the Harvey people to control us; But for the past few days, I have not understood why the Harveys spread such news, and now looking at the mountain, I finally figured it out. Kong Ming stared at the mountains.
"What have you figured out?" Yang Li asked nervously.
"It's a trap, a trap that the Harveys have planted for prisoners of war. Kong Ming said softly.
