Volume 1: Jiangzhou Chapter 46: Zhongfu

During this stalemate, the team transporting grain and grass continued to approach the border area. Looking at the distance, it only took three days.

In the past few days, everyone's minds were on their throats, and the underworld man would either not come, or he would only come in these two days.

The farmers and horsemen knew these things, and they cheered up at this time.

Fortunately, no one in Ling Xin'an's No. 5 team had diarrhea anymore, and the moldy highland barley was quietly handled by Ling Xin'an, which did not affect the progress of the escort.

Today, the sunset is like blood, and the sky is red. The war horses become restless. The team comes to a hill. One side of the hill is close to the water source, but the surroundings are very empty. The woods a thousand meters away are vaguely visible. This is a mountain.

A safe place to camp.

Ling Xin'an called ten teams over and told them to rest immediately after eating tonight and to keep their weapons in their hands at all times.

The enemy must make a sneak attack tonight, because if they miss this night, they will not have another chance. Once these soldiers transporting grain and grass complete their transportation tasks, they will definitely turn around and wipe out these underworld soldiers.

Ling Xin'an didn't know the news about the front line, and he didn't know much about Wei Yan's arrangements, but he knew that Wei Yan had made careful arrangements.

In late autumn, night came quickly, and the sunset quickly fell into the sky. The earth began to darken, and the soldiers lay down to rest, while Ling Xin'an sat on the hillside in the distance.

There were only one hundred and twenty people in his team, and the ten team captains were also kneeling beside him at this time, looking at the sky in the distance, motionless.

"You guys rest first, I'll wait for you!" Ling Xin'an said.

The ten team captains immediately found a depression and lay down on their backs, while Ling Xin'an and Sun Wu were lying on the grass.

"Sir, how many people do you think there are this time?" Sun Wu said.

"There should be more than a thousand. We have forced them like this. If they don't come out to rob, then they will be laughed at. Although the underworld people are hateful and can be killed, they value their reputation extremely. They often say that their heads can be cut off, and their reputations can be cut off."

Don't throw it away, I often hear about people dueling for a bit of honor." Lu Fengxian said.

"I think it's what adults call a conspiracy. You have to do it even if you don't do it, and you have to do it even if you do." Sun Wu said.

"Xiao Wu, this is what you need to learn to do when you want to become a general in the future." Lu Fengxian said.

"Tch, sir, you have taught me a lot. You don't need to remind me about this." Sun Wu said.

"If Mingren was really that stupid, he wouldn't be so calm." Ling Xin'an said from the side.

"Exploding mountains and driving away wild animals forced them to expose their hiding places, which made them furious. They were suspicious at first, but they must have understood that the purpose of our move was to find their whereabouts, but they were still able to calm down.

, obviously their general is not a reckless man."

"But sir, if you force them to come out now, you are still the best." Sun Wu said with a smile.

"Xiao Wu, the underworld people must have come from more than one place. They also know that they are forced. Have you ever heard that the mourning soldiers will win?"

"Sir, are you worried that they will fight to the death?" Sun Wu said.

"Well, that must be the case. Even if we don't get this batch of food, we soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty will not get it."

"So tonight will definitely be a fierce battle." Lu Fengxian said.

The cold was getting thicker, and the three of them stared at the surroundings with sharp eyes. Suddenly, the sound of flying birds sounded in the night sky.

, the sounds of fighting between the two sides were already faintly lit up by flames.

"Sir." The captain of Team 10 was awakened at this time and crawled to Ling Xin'an and asked.

The captain of the sixth team looked at the situation in the distance and said: "Are we caught in an enemy ambush?"

Sun Wu rolled his eyes at him and said: "Boy, why are you talking? It's the underworld people who have entered our encirclement."

All the teams immediately cheered up after hearing this, and the captain of the seventh team was confused and said, "Sir, how could the Hades enter our encirclement?"

Lu Fengxian patted the opponent on the head and said: "Stupid, we all know the location of the Hades. We can't set up an ambush at this point. Why fight? We just raise our heads and go to see them."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

"Have the provisions for food and grass been arranged?" Ling Xin'an asked.

"Sir, the arrangements have been made. If they are really as you expected, haha, I can't wait." The team leaders said one after another.

"Get down quickly!" Sun Wu kicked them.

The ten captains shouted low and ran into the night. They had long been in harmony with Sun Wu, so there was not much of a deterrent to him.

"When things are almost going on over there, we should be here." Ling Xin'an said.

"Yes, sir." When he got down to business, the two of them immediately became serious.

Sure enough, a thousand meters away, the cavalry finally broke through and came galloping towards this side of the hill. In the night, their whining sounds could be heard.

Here, rows of archers have already been waiting for them to come up.

When the sound of horse hoofbeats came to their ears, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty had already opened their strings, waiting for an order.

As the order sounded, a sound broke through the air in the middle of the night, and screams suddenly sounded. However, the horses' hooves remained unabated, rushing towards the food and grass desperately.

"Shoot!" There was another sound of a bow and arrow being drawn out, but there was no more screams.

"The enemy is hiding on horseback, the infantry is ready!" Ling Xin'an suddenly shouted.

Following this loud shout, the soldiers in front immediately adjusted quickly. At this time, the Hades cavalry were so close that they could see their blurry shadows.

"Prepare!"

Swish, swish... rows of torches were quickly lit, instantly illuminating the underworld people rushing in front of them.

Sure enough, on the horse's butt, the underworld man grabbed the horse's tail with one hand, sometimes landed on the ground, sometimes ran forward, hiding behind and rushing towards him, the knife in his hand shone with a cold light, and his eyes were fierce.

"Pull!" a cold shout sounded.

Horse ropes suddenly appeared in the dark night, and the horses fell over and people fell into a mess. Rockets instantly shot towards the intruders who broke through, and screams were heard. The escaped underworld men abandoned their horses and headed towards the team.

Start over.

The archers shot directly at the opponent, which was an overwhelming massacre.

On the hill in the distance, Captain Ninth's figure appeared beside Ling Xin'an and whispered: "Sir, you guessed it right. The Hades are really like last time, attacking from both sides."

"They also know how to do this!" Sun Wu laughed.

Ling Xin'an nodded and said: "Always pay attention to them. Now they think they are hiding, but they don't know that we are aware of all their actions."

"Remember, let them in." Lu Fengxian warned.

"Yes, Captain." Captain Ninth took the order and left.

"You two should go too and let them never come back." Ling Xin'an said.

"Yes, sir."

After that, he left. Before leaving, Sun Wu said: "Sir, you have to be careful."

Ling Xin'an nodded.

The fighting between the two sides still continued. Wei Yan stood on the slope of a hill with cold eyes and solemn expression, looking at everything in the night.

Beside him, the guards protected him closely, and the entire camp fell into his eyes.

"By the way, how is Captain Ling's team doing?" Wei Yan suddenly asked.

The intelligence officer looked at him curiously and said, "Back to my lord, there is no news from Captain Ling. Everything is being done according to your plan."

Wei Yan nodded and looked in the direction of Ling Xin'an.

In the night, that area was particularly quiet.

Three miles away, the Ming people's horses were standing in rows with their mouths covered, looking coldly at the fighting team in front. Da Zhou had already begun to harvest their companions, but no one showed any emotion. They just waited.

He gave an order and then ruthlessly killed all the Zhou people.

Da Zhetu's cold voice sounded: "Kill!"

Continuous lines of horses lined up to surround the Zhou troops from the rear and sides. At this time, the cattle and horses of the grain transport troops of the Zhou Dynasty began to scream in confusion, and the chilling atmosphere made the entire rear troops panic.

The ground shook. Even if it was late at night and the distance could not be seen clearly, people still felt a trembling aura. The Hades were riding very fast, and countless shadows stepped on the ground. There was no sound, no roar, only bloodthirsty eyes staring ahead.

of food.

Soon, the two parties of the Ming people gathered together and headed towards the grain and grass of Da Zhou. A frightened voice sounded in the dark night: "The Ming people are coming!"

There were panicked and frightened sounds, cattle, horses, and figures running around. Some people even accidentally lit the food and grass on fire while escaping, causing them to immediately burst into flames.

Zuo Wu licked his lips with a scarlet tongue, showed a cruel smile, and rushed into the grain and grass troops first. Because before, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty fled in panic. When the Hades arrived, they only saw burning grain and grass, but no one was there.

.

Da Zhetu's face changed drastically, and he instinctively shouted: "Retreat, retreat!"

Before they finished speaking, further away from them, torches burned suddenly and quickly, illuminating the sky. At the same time, dense rockets in the sky fell like rain.

Fell into a trap!

At this time, the Ming people looked at the Zhou soldiers who had surrounded them from a distance, feeling extremely cold both physically and mentally, with a chill pouring from head to toe.

How did they do it? There were no Zhou soldiers found in the rear or sides, so why did they surround them?

No one had time to think about this problem. Countless arrows flew down from the sky and hit the underworld people. They screamed pitifully. The war horses and the hay that had been piled around them were on fire.

"This is not food and grass!" Some soldiers shouted, but no one paid attention.

There was blazing fire all around, and the underworld soldiers and war horses who had been hit by arrows were wrapped in fire and ran around. The entire team was already in chaos. Da Zhetu's scimitar was like the wind, sweeping away the arrows all around, and at the same time shouting for formation.

Ming people are good at riding and shooting, but they don't have much equipment on them, because overweight armor is of no benefit in fighting the autumn wind, so most of the soldiers only have simple shields, which can protect themselves but not their horses.

.

After a brief period of chaos, hundreds of Hades soldiers had fallen on the ground. At this time, the team was once again in order, raising their shields and blocking the arrows as much as possible.

"Break through the encirclement and move toward the north!" Da Zhetu looked at the forest in the distance. That was where their flank troops came from. The only place they could break through now was there. The Hades troops in the east were almost wiped out by the Zhou soldiers. That was originally

It was just to attract the other party's attention, but now I realized that everything I did fell into the other party's plan.
Chapter completed!
