Chapter 278: Ambush

"That's it, that's it, no matter how many of them there are, there are still more of us! Several people muttered unconvinced.

"So we just have to keep an eye on them now, and don't let them run out of our noses, and we don't have to be afraid of anything else. "Agus is confident.

"Chief of the Guard—Chief of the Guard—" At this moment a man in the tent was sent out to look for the chief of the guard, and after calling for a long time, no one answered.

"Did you see your chief of the guard?" the commander asked, glancing at a few people.

"No, we've been standing guard here and haven't seen him come out! One of the guards suggested in a whim.

"Yes, nine times out of ten, he is sleeping lazy, and he won't pick him up from the bed for a while, when is it, and he still thinks about sleeping, it's really big enough. The chief turned angrily and went to the camp of the chief of the guard.

This is Agus gave a look, a guard and Agus followed the commander to the camp tent, the camp was empty, there was a figure there, the commander just wanted to turn around, Agus jumped up on his neck with one arm, and with a strong force, the man suddenly kicked his legs hard and couldn't move.

The two immediately hid the chief under the cover next to him, at this time, it was too risky to transport it out, and they could only solve it nearby, although it was easy to smell when it was hot, but there was no way, they could only put him here for the time being, and dispose of it in the dead of night for a while.

The two of them quickly slipped back and stood at their posts, looking around as if nothing had happened, knowing that there were few people left. However, these people are all pivotal roles, and it is very difficult to reproduce the lifeless disposal.

"You stand guard well, hard work all night, our large army, tomorrow afternoon will almost arrive, when we capture the capital of the Western Regions in one fell swoop, you are all heroes, give me a little spirit tonight." One of the generals walked out of the tent and came over to look at some of the guards.

Agus couldn't help but be surprised, he really thought of it, there was really a large army marching behind, they had to tell Zhuoya the big news quickly, let Zhuoya go back quickly to prepare, they had to take advantage of the enemy's future to set up camp, they must beat them to the ground, and they must not give them a chance to breathe, otherwise they will waste a lot of time in the battle.

Agus and the others immediately returned to tell the important news to Zoya and the others.

Zhuo Ya raised her eyebrows, now she is even more sure that the other party is Nalan's enlightened army, Loulan has never given up, always fantasizing about one day taking the Western Regions as her own, this time she rashly sent troops, without giving them a painful lesson, they really don't know that they are half a catty or eight taels, and they are always eager to try.

"You send someone back to inform Brother Wang, and ask him to send a group of men and horses to intercept Loulan's army on the way, and catch them off guard!

He's seen arrogant but he's never seen such arrogant, this is always thinking of running to other people's territory to play prestige, that's okay to owe the pump, if you don't beat them up this time, next time they have no face to come.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go and tell my brother, and then we'll take the army to intercept them halfway, lest they be divided, and we'll let them divide up their families this time to see what else they can do." Zhuoya said fiercely.

Zhuoya was familiar with the road, and she could go back and forth freely at night, and after a while, she returned to the capital and told Brother Wang what she had heard and seen. Zhuo Lang ordered Zhuoya and Agus to take 5,000 men to intercept Loulan's army halfway.

"The way they must come is Tiger Ridge and Thousand Bird Mountain, these two places each ambush 5,000 people, you and Agus are ambushed in the first checkpoint Tiger Ridge, in case they are reborn after the catastrophe, they will not escape death when they reach Thousand Bird Mountain. "Turbidity Wave is even more aware of the terrain in his own territory, so he immediately ordered to go down.

Agus and Zoya set out with 5,000 men and marched to Tiger Ridge, while another general marched with 5,000 men to Qianqi Mountain. Because they heard that Loulan's army would not arrive here until tomorrow afternoon, they would be able to arrive at their destination a few hours in advance, and when the time came, they would be well prepared and ambushed, and they could use arrows and stones against those enemies.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the enemy, they deliberately made a detour and marched, each with a grass ring on his head to camouflage, so that the target was smaller.

In less than an hour, they came to the Tiger Ridge, which is indeed a steep mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which makes it dangerous to use it for me, which is really a gift of nature.

The peak of Laohuling Mountain is abrupt and plunges into the sky. There is only a small stone path about two meters wide at the bottom of the mountain, which is close to the mountain wall, and on both sides of the path, green grass and wild flowers, and ancient trees are towering.

Moreover, this mountain is full of small stones scattered all over the place, and it is really good to use them as hidden weapons. In this way, you don't have to worry about running out of arrows in your hand.

It's the first time Agus has come here, it's really a matter of time!

"After a while, everyone will be on this side, and when we see that the army is a little ahead of the center, we will start attacking again, so as not to startle the snakes and they will retreat again, and then we will be tossed in vain, and they will be more vigilant, and then it will be even more difficult to besiege. Agus looked at the terrain and pondered for a moment before ordering.

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" the two lieutenants immediately agreed.

They told the commander that the order was conveyed, and the soldiers all stared quietly at the narrow path, and at this time they could not help but concentrate on it for a long time, for fear that if they did not pay attention, the enemy would slip away from under their noses.

The summer is hot, the soldiers are hiding in the forest, there is a shady place and thirst-quenching bayberry, although everyone stays hard, but the life is quite comfortable.

"Don't eat it, there should be a situation ahead!" one of the lieutenants, who had been staring at the path without blinking, saw a group of men and horses swaying over. "Shall we start fighting?" the soldiers all asked impatiently. "No, this team doesn't look like a normal army, it should be a pathfinder, and looking at their sneaky appearance, it's not a normal team. ”

"Okay, then we'll wait!" Hearing the lieutenant general's words, the big guy also stared with wide eyes.

Agus nodded, gave a thumbs up, and expressed his appreciation, it seems that their lieutenant is indeed not in vain, not only knows the strategy and tactics well, but also is thoughtful, and thinks about the problem very thoroughly.

Sure enough, this team didn't look like dozens of people, and walked over in front of them, and then waved his hand behind him, which probably means that there is no enemy and can pass. The team exploring the road in front was very happy to pass smoothly, and rushed forward with their horses and whips.

At this time, Argus finally understood Zhuo Lang's intelligence, why he thought of ambushing 5,000 people in each of the two levels.

In this way, even if there are fish that slip through the net, they can be fished twice and wiped them out.

At this time, a large army finally appeared, this time it was not dozens of people, but a mighty one that could not see the edge at a glance, and the ones in front of them were riding tall heads, with their toes high, and behind them were the infantry running forward, sweating profusely after a long journey.

As soon as he reached the middle position, Argus gave an order, and the mountain began to throw stones and arrows downward, and for a while the stone rain and sword rain fell one after another, and the wailing broke through the sky.

They are really turtles in the urn, they have no power to parry, only the part of being beaten, some of them run fast on horses and escape, but the horses are frightened but they are all broken, and they kick in front of them, refusing to move forward.

The anxious enemy army has nothing to do, and now it is useless to blame the prospectors in front of them, the only thing they can do is to flee for their lives quickly. More than half of the Loulan army left Laohuling was killed or wounded, and some of the rest were painted to varying degrees. The morale of the soldiers was greatly frustrated.

"Boss, let's go back, so that we are no match for others in the past, since everyone knows that they robbed us halfway, don't they know what we are doing, so we should be on the safe side, go back, I believe that the master will not blame us!" one of the lieutenants pleaded.

"That's what I said, but we haven't received an order from above now, and it is a violation of military discipline to evacuate without permission, and we will be punished if we go back, and the master is there, if we don't go, they are even more dangerous!" The boss couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Then let's take the brothers to die, is it really good, our soldiers in Loulan are going to die on the battlefield, but it's not so aggrieved that they are really under this mountain!"

"I can understand your feelings, but military law has to be observed, we can only wait until the master orders us to withdraw our troops, otherwise we can't evacuate. The commander gave the order, and the remaining half of the army continued to move forward.

Along the way, the soldiers complained, every time they came to the Western Regions, they never took advantage, but their master was willing, and came to challenge every two years, this challenge was the most casualty one, and before it was the one who started the war, more than half of them died. Let them still have the mood to fight.

But this time, looking at the posture, they must be brave enough to accompany them to the end.

Along the way, the morale was low, and the speed of the march was not as good as before, and after walking for a long time, they came to the Qianque Mountain, and before they could get down the mountain, the soldiers were discouraged, and the painful lesson just now made them have to be afraid. "This time, a few of us will go over, and if there is an enemy, we will withdraw!" the boss suddenly came up with a plan.
