Chapter 053: Ambush on the banks of the Yangsang River

Linghu Po was the sentry after the third watch, and now he closed his eyes tightly, and his breathing quickly became long.

He rested on his head with a quiver made of cowhide, held a ring-headed scabbard in one hand and a large iron bow in the other, and slept on the grass in his coat.

The night was uneventful.

On the fifth watch of the next day, Hupo was already full of energy in the morning exercise.

Looking up at the sky, the sky was a little gloomy, there was a faint mist on the Yangsang River, the mountains in the distance were looming, and the moist grass under his feet exuded a natural fragrance.

The air is fresh and the view is really nice.

The group quietly ate some dry food and drank the boiled cold boiled water, Han Mingda roared and left with Wang Hong and two people surnamed Li.

Leaving Ling Hupo, Jiang Wu, Zhao Er and Chen Liang behind, they gathered together to discuss.

There will be no mutual politeness and humility, and without waiting for the other three catchers to speak, Fox Slope began to arrange in style:

"I've thought about it, since the enemy is following us, it will definitely not be too far away, and if we find that Gong Cao and them are leaving, they will come here to check on them first, and then track them up, and we will clean them up here."

"Jiang Wu, you take Chen Liang to the hillock on the other side of the river to ambush, the horse can't hide here, and they all lead it, if the people who come are cautious, they may come to your side first, hehe, then I have to trouble you Jiang Wuchang to do it first."

"Zhao Er and I will stay here, if the enemy swaggers over, then we will be the first to move, you pay attention to their back, whether there are reinforcements, and then wait for the opportunity to come and help."

"If any of them escapes, Jiang Wu, you two have horses, you should be pursued, in short, the enemy can't be allowed to leave here alive, to prevent them from ventilating and reporting."

The three of them were still looking at each other in confusion, and Ling Hupo scolded impatiently: "Hurry up and carry out the military order, don't delay the work." ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Wu originally wanted to say a few words, but he felt that everything was nonsense.

Just by setting up the whistle last night, the current task arrangement is clean and thorough, and there should be no more doubts.

Fighting and killing people are not the same thing in the final analysis, but although they are new pawns, they have made extraordinary moves on Yunhai Mountain and won the first prize.

This is enough to suppress Jiang Wu and the others.

Those who have passed through the battle formation should be the most reassured.

So, Jiang Wu hammered his chest hard, didn't say a word, took Chen Liang with him, led two horses each, and left for the small mound.

Only Zhao Er was left by Ling Hupo's side, the first one who stretched out his foot to provoke that night and was hit in the abdomen with a punch.

He is now impressed by Ling Hupo, and he should be obedient.

The two of them hid directly behind the bushes on the bank of the river, which was a little steep, just enough to hide people.

At the moment, there is no means of investigation, it is just a stupid way to wait for the rabbit, and it is also the most effective way.

If there is a group of killers coming from behind, aiming to track General Guo Rui's whereabouts, or want to kill Han Mingda on the road.

Then, it is best to intercept and kill here.

Time flowed quietly, Zhao Er was obviously not patient, and from time to time he had to go out to take a look, and he was kicked twice by Linghu Po before he could be honest.

In fact, it didn't take long to wait, and the rabbit came in a hurry.

The horses' hooves were gained, and a puff of dust rose on the post road.

It seems that there are quite a few people who have been tracked down.

Five people, seven horses, and a very low level of vigilance.

They came directly to the nearest place, slowed down and looked around, someone shouted, and the group got off the post road and came to the place where they camped last night in Linghupo.

Linghupo pushed aside the bushes and took a sneak look, only two people dismounted and circled the camp, looking for this and that, it seemed that he was quite experienced.

The other three rode on their horses and looked around.

Deal with the enemy on the horse first.

Ling Hupo waved his hand at Zhao Er, regardless of whether he understood it or not, he suddenly stood up, and the three-stone big iron bow instantly opened up.

The bowstring vibrated and the feathered arrows shot out.

"Whoosh..."

A piercing sound sounded through the air.

The distance is very close, only fifty or sixty steps, for Ling Hupo, if he closes his eyes and points where to shoot, he will not make a mistake.

"Porphyry..."

The arrow pierced through the left chest of a knight, reaching the tail of the feather, and the force was rare.

The man was stunned, looked at the bank of the river in front of him in disbelief, and then looked down at his chest, and then screamed loudly.

"Ahh

The stupid reaction frightened the war horse, and immediately took him off the horse.

These guys, not very trained, but they can definitely be described as outlaws.

Once attacked, the first thing they did was not to avoid observation, but to draw their knives and look around, with a fearless and fierce image.

The two men who were searching in the camp heard the screams and rushed to the bank of the river together.

The other two on horseback, one turned over and prepared to dismount, apparently he reacted and did not want to ride on the horse as a target.

But he was the second to die.

As soon as one foot left the horse's pedal, a swift feathered arrow pierced his neck in an instant.

"Uh-uh..."

The guy waved his arms and threw himself off the horse, killing him on the spot.

This is the feather arrow shot by Zhao Er.

Although he was a step slower to shoot arrows, his archery skills were obviously not bad.

When the last knight saw this, his first reaction was to bow down on the horse's back and kick the horse's belly with his toes.

"Whew..."

The horses neighed and rushed towards the riverbank.

Keeping Hupo calm, he quickly mounted the arrow and shot it with a full bow.

"Whoosh..."

This time it's a horse, not a person.

The sharp arrow was driven into the horse's neck, and the blood splattered and sank in.

"Whew..."

The war horse neighed.

The sudden pain made the war horse want to react instinctively.

But the enemy on horseback, skillful in horsemanship, forcibly controlled the horse and continued to run towards the riverbank.

There were only about thirty steps left, and the neighing war horse pounced on the Linghu Slope standing on the bank of the river in the blink of an eye.

It was too close, even if Linghu Po, who was known for his rapid fire, it was impossible to send a third arrow.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on calmness.

Those who panic will only die here.

Without hesitation, he abandoned his bow and drew his sword.

The horse was at the top of the slope, and there was a noticeable stagnation, but it was caught by the knight in the belly of the horse, and there was no room for delay.

The wounded horse suddenly retracted its front hooves and leaped up.

This is a commendable opponent.

Regardless of its reaction or guts, it is impossible to have it without a few rolls in the sea of blood.

Of course, in this kind of life-and-death confrontation, Ling Hupo was engrossed and would not have any distractions.

He stood on the slope, his rather clumsy flashing body, about to give way to the onslaught of the warhorse.

"Whew..."

A gust of wind carried the badly wounded horse and passed by.

And a long knife in the hand of the enemy rider slashed head-on at Linghu Slope in an instant.

Ling Hupo's pupils contracted suddenly, and he instinctively fell to the ground, and at the same time, the ring knife in his hand went up.

The flash of the knife made Fox Po's shoulder ache, accompanied by a warm liquid spilling.

But it wasn't his blood.
