Chapter 47 Ambush Battle

A loess road spreads to the end of the hillside, and the road is overgrown with weeds, and a gentle breeze blows, rolling up yellow sand several feet high.

This is an old official road dozens of miles away from the Qingtianfeng Mountain Range, hundreds of zhang in front of the official road, there is a team of men and horses in uniform walking slowly, this team of people and horses is about 300 people, marching on the loess official road, the footsteps are disorderly, and the smoke and dust are rolling.

This group of men and horses was led by more than a dozen cavalrymen, and behind the cavalry were followed by three black iron carriages, all of which were tightly closed, so that people did not know what was inside.

On the left and right sides of the carriage, a group of soldiers marched on guard, and behind the convoy, there were several columns of infantry, armed with spears, also solemn and ready to fight.

If anyone who has been to the national capital of Dongyue sees this group of people and horses, they will definitely be surprised, because the dozen or so horsemen at the beginning are cavalry directly under the royal city, and their status in the national capital is extremely high, and they will not leave the royal city for half a step.

The hundreds of foot soldiers on the left and right sides of the convoy and in the rear, although they were less than the previous ones, were also elite soldiers, and they belonged to the direct guards of the Wuzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion under the rule of the Dongyue Kingdom.

Whether it is the marching foot soldiers or the leading cavalry, all of them are strictly disciplined, and such a team feels more like a huge beast on the march, capable of killing the enemy with lightning speed.

"Report!" At the front of the team, a horse quickly approached the team.

The horsemen were dressed exactly like the cavalry in the ranks, and when they approached the ranks, they ordered them to dismount their horses and salute with their fists at someone in the front row of the group.

"How's the front, is it safe!" shouted a middle-aged resolute man in a red cloak to the approaching horseman.

"Tell the general, probe the horse and report back, everything is normal ahead!" This horse was immediately included in the cavalry team after the report.

"Summoning the whole team! Don't take the slope of the mountain road ahead, this place is the junction of Wuzhou and Zhongzhou, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Tanma will not make mistakes!" the resolute man ordered loudly.

"No!" As soon as the man finished speaking, two horsemen quickly came out of the cavalry ranks, one on the left and one on the right, to convey the order to the rear.

Seeing this, the resolute man nodded, and then continued to guard the surroundings, especially when he saw the ramp in front of him and the mountains on both sides, he frowned slightly.

It is no wonder that this man was so cautious, this mission was personally ordered by the king of Zhao of the Dongyue Kingdom, and he was selected from hundreds of generals to carry out a secret mission.

If the task is completed, he may be added to the ranks, and if the mission fails, then not only him, but also the whole family may have to be buried together, and no one dares to be careless in this case.

"Hmph, Wuzhou Prefecture Mu is really blind, and the news of the private treasure was leaked, provoking King Zhao to personally order the treasure, and he is surrounded by a group of white-eyed wolves!"

It turned out that this incident was a few years ago, when the governor of Wuzhou went out by chance, he rescued a seriously injured man, but this person was already hurt when he was chased and killed by the enemy.

However, before this person died, he was grateful for the great grace of Wuzhou Mu, so he handed over a secret treasure to the other party, and instructed that this secret treasure is related to the way of eternal life.

After Wu Zhoumu got it, he took this treasure very seriously, but he didn't have a clue about the immortal immortality, so the matter passed, and this Wuzhou Mu gradually forgot about it.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news was poked out after all, especially King Zhao of Dongyue Kingdom also knew about it.

Just imagine the way of immortality and its temptation, even if it is just an illusory thing, but who is not moved, especially the actual ruler of the Dongyue Kingdom, so there is this time to order the Wuzhou Prefecture to offer treasures.

After all, the path of immortality is very important, this time Wang Cheng sent several teams to cover and interfere with the reality in batches, and each team was led by a general, and they were the real top priority, the team that hid the treasure.

"Let's hope this goes well," the resolute man said, glancing at the three carriages in the middle of the line, with a hint of worry on his face.

The team continued to move on, and suddenly, the resolute man raised his hand and signaled, and the whole team stopped following his command.

The resolute man looked ahead with bated breath at the moment, only to see a figure slowly emerging on the hillside, which caused all the sergeants to pay attention.

The figure moved forward slowly, and it took a while for the resolute man to see the figure in its entirety.

It was a dark-skinned boy, ordinary-looking and even a little honest, dressed in patched linen clothes, with bare arms that were not strong, a basket made of bamboo strips on his back, and a hare hanging from his waist.

The young man looked at them with a frightened gaze at this time, and walked cautiously against the side of the road, as if he were frightened.

Watching the boy walk in front of him, his feet trembled a little because he was afraid, and he was even more shaky when he walked, and it took a lot of strength to move a step.

This resolute man secretly scolded himself for being too careful, no matter how you look at it, this is a peasant boy, what other threats can there be.

"Keep going!" shouted the resolute man as he saw the peasant boy fall to the ground, and the whole team began to move forward with his order.

But after walking a few steps, the resolute man's heart suddenly became alert, and the whole person was like sitting on a needle carpet, and it was obvious that something was wrong around him.

"Plop, plop," At this moment, one or two soldiers suddenly fell to the ground, and then the nearby soldiers began to fall to the ground in succession, and after dozens of soldiers fell, the team finally began to panic.

"It's not good, it's poisonous," one of the soldiers shouted as he flipped over his fallen companion and found him foaming at the mouth.

However, his chest began to ache for a while, and the whole person also clutched his chest and fell to the ground convulsing, obviously following in the footsteps of his companions.

"Where did the poison come from!" the resolute man looked around the group, but found no movement.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his eyes looked towards the peasant boy just now, and he saw that the young man also fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and the bamboo basket on his back fell to the ground, and some transparent liquid flowed out of the bamboo basket.

"It's not good, there's an ambush, get out of that young man's place!" the resolute man finally understood at this time, and shouted like crazy.

As he spoke, the soldiers who were still standing were close to the three carriages, but at this time, only about a hundred of them were still able to move slightly.

There was a sudden shouting sound on the slope of the mountain road, and I saw countless figures coming out of the weeds on the slope, these people were dressed in various colors, some were wearing animal skins, some were wearing black power suits, and dozens of people were wearing silver-gray white robes.

And in front of these figures, a man with an unusually large and strong physique was particularly eye-catching, and after the resolute man saw this person's face, he secretly said that he was not good, and then signaled the team behind him to be on guard with a bitter face.

"Your Excellency is active in the border area of Wuzhou, the famous master of Heifeng Village, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called the master of Xiong Dazhai of the Prison Breaking Knife!" After the resolute man ordered the team to be ready for battle at any time, it was the horse that rode forward and shouted.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Old Xiong and I are so famous, and the military masters of Wangcheng all know me!" Xiong Dazhai Lord shouted in his thick voice.

"Since Your Excellency knows that we are the army of Wangcheng, and you still have the courage to rob the Dao, aren't you afraid that there will be no place for you in Dongyue!"

The resolute man still had a trace of luck at this time, hoping to use the identity of the royal city army to scare these bandits.

"Lao Tzu is the one who robbed you, brothers, all copy the guys!" The master of Xiong Dazhai was unequivocal and ordered directly.

As soon as his words fell, the robbers and bandits behind him erupted in bursts of shouts and killings, and the men and horses on the hillside rushed down in one go.

"The whole army obeys the order! Array! Kill the enemy!" Seeing this, the resolute man had no choice but to order.

The soldiers behind him surrounded the carriage in groups, raised their spears in their hands, and the front line straightened their spears forward, and the whole army also erupted with a sense of slaughter.
