Chapter 105: Ambush
At night, Kong Rui pretended to be sleepy, made a temporary bed and went to bed early.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Kong Rui heard that a large number of people outside the village were entering the village, and a few people in the village went to greet them, and some people from the villagers' homes where he was staying also went out, but obviously someone stayed, obviously leaving this person to monitor him.
Of course, Kong Rui didn't care that they kept someone to spy on him, but he was secretly glad in his heart that he had just caught up with them and made a move.
It turned out that Lu Geng, the supreme commander of the mountain armed forces of the Great Yan Country in this area, had already received information that there was a batch of supplies for the Qianqian people to be sent to the front line from the vicinity, and Lu Geng naturally would not miss this opportunity to replenish a batch of supplies for himself, and also hit the Qianqian people by the way, so he personally led the main force of more than 3,000 people under his command at the moment, and also contacted the local anti-Qiqian armed forces to take advantage of the night to ambush on the side of the official road, preparing to surprise attack the Qiqian people's transport baggage troops the next day.
Kong Rui didn't know what the strength of the people who came, and he didn't dare to easily release his divine sense to investigate so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, thinking that as long as he could keep up with this large number of troops, it would be easy to keep up with so many ordinary people with his own cultivation, so he would rest at ease at the moment.
After Lu Geng entered the village, he immediately summoned the contact person of the village to ask if there was anything abnormal, and the contact person in the village, Li Yun, introduced: "There is nothing abnormal in the other, that is, a foreigner in the village came to stay today, saying that he was going to the northern mountains to join his relatives." ”
"Then where does this foreigner live? Is there anything abnormal?" Lu Geng was of course a little worried when he heard such information.
"He lives in Li Qi's house, and I also asked Li Qi just now, saying that the stranger has fallen asleep, and Li Qi has also left his brother there to continue to monitor, so there should be no problem. ”
"You still have to be more careful, there have been many masters of the Yakini have come to the mountains in this area recently, these masters are strong in martial arts, ruthless, and in the clouds, come and go without a trace. We've lost a lot of people as well, especially this time we can't afford to make mistakes. Lu Geng still warned Li Yun, and Li Yun naturally said yes.
Early the next morning, Kong Rui pretended to have a good night's sleep, went out to say goodbye to Li Qi, and walked away.
In the middle of the night, Lu Geng had already led his men to leave the mountain village and go to the official road to ambush, and there was nothing unusual in the village; Li Qi saw Kong Rui in such a situation, but he only said that he was really a passing foreigner, and he didn't mind, so he let him leave.
As soon as he left the village, Kong Rui immediately released his divine sense to investigate around, and soon noticed that there were a large number of people near the official road, so of course Kong Rui immediately rushed to the vicinity of the official road.
Looking from a distance, Kong Rui really saw that Lu Geng's men and horses were already ambushed on both sides of the official road, he calculated, and saw that there were about 3,000 people, but he saw that most of these people were not uniformed, their clothes were ragged, and the weapons in their hands were also very worn, and there was a shortage, and some of them were just copying a wooden stick and preparing to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Kong Rui was born in poverty, so he naturally knew this kind of suffering, and his heart was also moved by their spirits, and he carefully observed them for a while, and felt that although these people were poorly equipped, they were obviously well-trained, and although all of them had vegetables on their faces, they were all energetic and focused. Kong Rui also saw some regular troops of the imperial court along the way, although those regular troops looked brightly clothed, but they did not have any combat effectiveness, Kong Rui still felt in his heart that these people were the backbone of the fight against the scheming people.
Just when Kong Rui was still comparing the differences between these people and the regular army of the imperial court, the sound of a large group of people coming from the official road was already heard, and Kong Rui immediately prepared while watching the scene.
Kong Rui visually inspected and found that there were probably less than 1,000 Qitan soldiers, but Kong Rui knew that the Qixuan soldiers were extremely effective in combat, and he did not know whether these more than 3,000 people who were as poor as Hanako would be able to defeat these well-equipped Qitan soldiers.
Sure enough, when the entire convoy of the Qiqian people entered the ambush circle, Lu Geng gave an order, and the mountain forces of the Great Yan Kingdom who were ambushed on both sides of the official road launched an attack at the same time. I saw that the arrows on both sides were like flying locusts, shooting straight at the Qiqian soldiers, who were also well-trained, and quickly set up their shields to block the two wings, and the soldiers also formed battle groups one after another, ready to meet the enemy.
Seeing the Qixian soldiers in such a formation, Kong Rui also thought that they were indeed extraordinary, no wonder they were able to defeat the imperial army of the Great Yan Kingdom in just one year, and he was thinking about how these poorly equipped armed forces could defeat the Qiqian people this time. I saw that these soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom also quickly pushed out a simple stone throwing machine, and threw one clay pot after another to the war group of the Qiqian people, after those crockpots burst open, there were clouds of white dust and mist rising, obviously the crockpots were filled with quicklime, and those Qijiao people were choked so that they couldn't even open their eyes, and they became chaotic all of a sudden, and a row of feather arrows were shot, and the Qiqian soldiers fell down a large piece at that time.
Just as Lu Geng was about to order the whole army to kill, he suddenly heard a burst of wild laughter in mid-air, only to see two black clouds appear in mid-air, and two black-clothed men came out in response, and with a single knife in their hands, the soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom were killed and wounded.
Seeing this, Lu Geng couldn't help but be shocked, knowing that it was the other party's demon cultivators who came to help, and although he had some spirit disciple masters, they were mainly guarding the high-level commanders, seeing that he was no longer able to fight against the opponent's demon cultivators in this battle, if he wanted to continue to persevere, he could only bring greater casualties to his subordinates, of course he knew that it was not good, and was about to order a retreat, when suddenly he heard an angry shout in his ears, and a praying mantis puppet suddenly appeared in mid-air, and with a wave of his two forearms, he cut the two demon cultivators in half.
Although Lu Geng felt strange, he couldn't delay for a moment on the battlefield, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to assault. Seeing the soldiers rushing forward bravely, Lu Geng looked around to see who had helped him at this critical moment.
It turned out that it was Kong Rui who also released his fifth-order mantis puppet when the other party's demon cultivators appeared, but it was still a little late, and some soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom were killed and injured by those demon cultivators;
Lu Geng looked around, only to see a person standing not far behind, although he saw that he was inconspicuous, but Lu Geng still thought that it should be this person who helped him, so he immediately walked over and said to Kong Rui: "Thank you for this immortal disciple's help." ”
Kong Rui saw that although he was also vegetable, no different from those ordinary soldiers, he was extraordinary, and he also bowed his hand at the moment: "I can't thank you for the effort." ”
When Lu Geng saw that he recognized him, he knew that he should have a chance to talk, and he was overjoyed, so he said to Kong Rui: "Immortal disciples, please wait, see that I will talk to the immortal disciples after I kill these evil people." Then he turned around and continued to direct a group of soldiers to attack, and when he saw that his side had gained the upper hand, he gave another command to his deputy, and then turned around and walked towards Kong Rui.
Seeing that Lu Geng was able to put the war first, Kong Rui also secretly praised it in his heart.
Those soldiers originally thought that with the help of the Demon Cultivators, they should have the chance to win, but they did not expect to soon see the corpses of the two Demon Cultivators who were cut into four pieces falling from the air to the ground, and they didn't even see what the opponent looked like, in fact, they couldn't see who killed the two Demon Cultivators, they were all blinded in the smoke and dust rising from the quicklime, and they were all too busy to take care of themselves, where did they have the time to see what else? Seeing that the other party was fighting bravely again, they hurriedly shouted and continued to resist.
I saw that the quicklime bags in the hands of the soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom were thrown at each other one after another, followed by a burst of random arrows, and when the lime smoke and dust dissipated, they stepped forward to meet each other. The soldiers of the Great Yan Nation also hoped for a quick victory, lest the reinforcements of the sinister people arrive later, and then they fell into a bitter battle.
Most of the casualties of those soldiers were not good, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they had no choice but to break through and retreat; after the soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom pursued them, they stopped and did not pursue, and hurriedly packed up their booty and prepared to retreat.
Lu Geng knew that this victory was all due to Kong Rui's help, so he said to Kong Rui again: "If the immortal disciple doesn't give up, can you come to my station to have a look, or thank the immortal disciple again, this is really not the place to speak." Kong Rui also had this intention, so he said: "Then there will be labor." ”
