Chapter 52: Ambush
The name Feihu Gorge is very impressive, but it is actually a gorge between two mountains.
Halfway up the mountain, Wu Nian stood on a big blue rock, looking at the road down the mountain with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"The trees here are dense and very hidden. We wait and shoot them with bows and arrows in the first round. Then we swoop down and engage in hand-to-hand combat. It's not difficult to kill twenty people."
Wu Nian glanced at Tieniu standing under the rock. Wu Yuan and others raised their hands and said seriously: "This is my business, but I have troubled you all. I, Wu Nian, swear to God, if there is any harm among you, I will definitely do it."
Let you have enough food and clothing. If you die in battle, I will take care of your family."
These words actually did not include Wu Yuan, but were addressed to Tieniu and the others.
This action was his personal grudge and had nothing to do with the court. Tieniu and the others helped him out of loyalty.
He must also be loyal.
"Even if Master Xiaoqi doesn't say anything, we still know that you will take good care of our little one." Li Yong said with a smile and cupped his hands.
Everyone can see that Wu Nian is a good person, and if you work with him, you will have no worries at all.
"Let's go." Wu Nian nodded, jumped off the big rock, led everyone to a nearby cave, and lit a bonfire to keep warm.
Stayed here for the night.

"Hurry up, hurry up."
There was a lot of excitement in front of the Cheng Mansion. Under the instructions of the housekeeper, the maids and maids were loading gifts onto a cart.
Soon the cart was filled, and a domestic slave expertly tied it up with ropes and tightened it.
After finishing it, the housekeeper turned around and went in to report. Cheng Gao and his wife Wang quickly walked out. The couple got into another carriage.
"Let's set off."
Following the order given by his entourage, the coachman waved his whip and drove the carriage to the north. There were many people accompanying him, including eleven family soldiers.
"Madam, I have met my father-in-law this time. Please help me and ask him to lend me five soldiers." Cheng Gao turned to look at his old wife and begged.
This is the New Year's Eve.
As I grow taller, my back is like a glow, and I can't sleep at night. The dark circles under my eyes are getting deeper and deeper, and I am gradually losing weight.
The root cause of all this is this idiot Wu Nian.
It has simply become his nightmare.
His father-in-law was Xiaoqi of Nianshan Fort. He was quite powerful and raised a team of soldiers.
Wang was Cheng Gao's pillow, so how could she not know what Cheng Gao was thinking. She sighed and said, "Husband, you want to send your own soldiers to kill Wu Nian. But although the soldiers are loyal, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.
It's really shocking that you used the general banner to kill a small banner. If the court investigates, it will be a capital crime."
She couldn't understand at all how her husband was doing things.
The quarrel with Xiao Qi under his command has reached this point.
Send in killers...
It's a shame he figured it out.
"I can't control that much anymore. I just want to kill him. I feel afraid if this person is left here. If he dares to kill Li Ding quietly, he dares to kill me. I will send a killer to kill him.
Instead, he became friends with the killer, which is a very evil thing."
Cheng Gao was exhausted both mentally and physically, and wanted Wu Nian to die with all his heart.
After he died, the nightmare disappeared and he felt at ease.
"Okay." Wang thought for a long time and nodded lightly. Although the killing of Xiaoqi by the general banner would be a capital crime if exposed, it is not a serious crime of exterminating the family.
There was nothing she could do about his own life.
"Thank you, madam." Cheng Gaoda was overjoyed and ignored the old couple. He quickly hugged Wang and said nonstop: "I have already thought of the plan. My father-in-law will provide five soldiers, and I will provide eleven soldiers.
When Wu Nian went into the mountains to hunt, he killed him by force and then destroyed his body and destroyed all traces of it."
"You can do whatever you want." Wang broke away from Cheng Gao's arms and sighed.
Cheng Gao's face was pressed against his cold butt, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he was quite excited. In a few days, in a few days, I will be able to get rid of Wu Nian.
Kill the nightmare in your heart.
Feihu Gorge is not far or near from Beishan Fort, and the team soon arrived near Feihu Gorge.
Halfway up the mountain.
Wu Nian led everyone to ambush, surrounded by lush trees, which provided excellent concealment. They wore uniform black clothes and covered their faces.
Each person has a bow, ten arrows, and a knife.
In such a battle, there is no room for large guns and spears to be used.
This road is an official road, but not many people take it.
Inside Beishan Fort, there are many people who have never been out in their lives. It is the beginning of the year and there are no merchants walking around, which is perfect for fighting.
As time passed, Wu Nian felt that his hands and feet began to feel cold. Although it was spring, the weather in the north was really cold, almost the same as winter.
Suddenly Wu Nian's ears twitched, his spirit perked up, and his eyes looked sharply at the far corner. A team of about twenty people poked their heads out and headed north.
"Sure enough, there are eleven soldiers, as well as a charioteer and a charioteer." Wu Nian's eyes were like an eagle's, and he quickly glanced at the team's configuration.
Wu Nian looked back and raised his hand. Then he quickly took out an arrow from his quiver, bent his bow and took aim.
With a "boom" sound, the arrow in his hand struck an opponent's archer like lightning.
First deal with the combat-effective personnel on the other side.
Almost at the same time, the sound of "dong" sounded five times.
The others also shot the arrows in their hands.
After Wu Nian shot the first arrow, he took out another arrow without stopping, bent his bow, nocked the arrow, and shot it towards another target.
"ah!!!"
The marching team suddenly fell into chaos. The archer targeted by Wu Nian didn't even react and was shot in the neck.
He let out a scream and instinctively stretched out his hands to cover his neck. However, the neck that was shot through by the arrow could not be covered at all. Blood flowed out from the gaps between his fingers like a spring.
He stared ahead in horror, until all the strength in his body dissipated, and then he fell to the ground, gradually losing his breath.
It had been a long time since the last time he killed a tiger, and Wu Nian's bow and arrow skills had made a qualitative improvement.
Others are not so good.
In the first wave of arrows, Wu Nian and others shot six arrows, but only killed and injured four people. One arrow missed, and two arrows hit the same person.
The sudden attack caught the convoy completely off guard. Cheng Gao's soldiers didn't even respond at the first moment.
Beishan Fort was too far away from the Mongolian people, and they had almost no combat experience.
It wasn't until the second wave of arrows came that they reacted and quickly found a place to hide. However, Wu Nian and others shot and wounded five people.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Gao's eleven soldiers were almost wiped out.
"How could this happen!!!!!!" Cheng Gao, who was in the carriage, just opened the curtain and took a look, but no longer had the courage to look again.
His face was as white as paper, and his body was shaking like chaff.
