Chapter 66 Perfect Ambush

Zhu Wen, Yang Xingmi and others knew that time was tight and quickly arranged their manpower to prepare for an ambush.

After everything was arranged, hundreds of people stayed at their posts waiting for Gao Pian to take the bait.

Unexpectedly, we have been waiting for two hours. As the sun sets in the west, there is still no movement on the vast river. Only the gentle breeze blows through the ripples on the river.

Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, Zhu Wen discovered that the spy on the hilltop in front waved the signal flag agreed in advance three times. Zhu Wen was shocked and said to Xu Huaiyu beside him: "Gao Pian's fleet

We have arrived, notify the people at various ambush locations, and everything will proceed as planned!"

Xu Huaiyu took the order and left.

Zhu Wen was a little nervous. Although Zhu Wen's understanding of Gao Pian was only a little bit from the sporadic records in later history books, it did not mean that he would despise Gao Pian.

On the contrary, Gao Pian was born as a general, with a literary and military skills, Ping Dangxiang, Zhennan'an, and Nanzhao, and successively served as the governor of important towns such as Tianping, Xichuan, Jiannan, Jingnan, Zhenhai, and Huainan. From these aspects,

No matter how you look at it, Gao Pian is by no means an ordinary person.

The legend that he defeated every battle in his military life and never lost once in his life made Gao Pian almost the last ace in the turbulent Tang Dynasty. If Gao Pian could be ambushed and killed so easily, then

How can he survive until now? Zhu Wen thought with some frustration.

But at this time, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. The high-speed fleet was about to arrive, and Zhu Wen could not allow him to have other ideas. Zhu Wen shook his head habitually. There were some things that he didn't want to think about, but they always came to his mind inadvertently.

, Zhu Wen always shook his head violently to get rid of those thoughts. This method was quite effective for him.

The signal flag on the hilltop in front waved four more times, and the two dilapidated fishing boats that had been waiting on the river for a long time slowly moved upstream. There were two people on each fishing boat, both dressed as fishermen.

There was an old man and a young man on one of the boats. The old man was hugging his body, his movements were slow, and his hands were shaking slightly, as if he would be blown into the river by the wind at any time. But even so, the old man still looked taller than the young man next to him.

Quite a bit, one has to imagine that he must have been unusually tall when he was young.

The old man had deep wrinkles on his face, and looked a little dull from a closer look. Then he said in a hoarse voice: "Little mouse, it's your first time to go fishing with me today. You must inspire me a little bit."

, don’t be nervous, I will take care of everything.”

The young man smiled and said: "I understand, don't worry, old man, I may catch the biggest fish in a while." I saw that he was skillfully painting the fish with his hands, which was nothing like the first one.

The way he went out to fish once made him look like a fisherman who had grown up in the river.

The old man still looked senile and said tremblingly: "Then I'll be relieved." He seemed to have inadvertently glanced at the place where Zhu Wen was hiding. His originally dull and dull eyes shone brightly, and his trembling left hand slowly

He slowly raised it and made an OK gesture.

When Zhu Wen saw this scene, especially when he saw his weird OK gesture, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Think about it, an old man who is over seventy years old wearing ancient clothes made a weird OK gesture.

, it’s awkward no matter how you look at it, and it’s funny no matter how you look at it.

The old man was played by Yang Xingmi, and the OK gesture was of course agreed upon by Zhu Wen and him. On the same boat as Yang Xingmi was Huang Siye's son Huang Hao, who was only seventeen years old and was considered an outstanding figure among the young generation.

On the other fishing boat were Bi Shiduo and Huo Cun, Huang Kui's eldest disciple. Bi Shiduo himself was very skilled in martial arts, and he was born into a fisherman's family in the south of the Yangtze River, so his martial arts in the water was even better.

Huo Cun was originally from Mingzhou, Hebei Province. His family was poor when he was young, so he joined the Salt Gang at an early age. Huang Kui saw that he was a good martial artist and was also honest and reliable, so he accepted him as his first apprentice.

Zhu Wen watched the two fishing boats row into the river, and his heart beat wildly. These two small fishing boats would be the key to this ambush. This is also the main reason why Yang Xingmi and Huang Chao's general Bi Shiduo took action personally.

s reason.

Originally, Huang Kui and Huang Siye were also going to get on the boat, but considering that Huang Siye and Huang Chao were very similar in appearance, and both of them had been famous in the world for many years, they were afraid that if they were recognized by others, their efforts would be in vain.

Huang Hao and Huo Cun received the true biography of Huang Siye and Huang Kui respectively, and they were considered two masters. Yang Xingmi was also familiar with them and wanted to let them practice, so he let them partner with him and Bi Shiduo respectively. In this way.

The arrangement was also so that if the two of them were in any danger, he and Bi Shiduo would be able to come to the rescue.

The sparkling river water was particularly dazzling under the setting sun, and the fiery red waves seemed like beating flames, seeming to turn everything around them into ashes.

The moment that everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived. From a distance, you can see the flags on the tall ships. There are three ships in total, and the one in the middle is ten feet high. On the tall mast,

A big flag "Zhenhai Jiedushi Gao" fluttered in the wind, as if to show people the lofty status of his master.

Zhu Wen looked at the high-rise ship turning from a distance on the river, and was extremely shocked. The huge shape of the high-rise ship filled his heart with shock. The warship, which was several stories high, had a deep draft, and there were dozens of sailors on both sides working hard on each side.

While paddling, there were actually people riding horses to patrol back and forth, which shows how spacious the building boat is.

The superstructure of the ship is actually built like a city tower, and the hull wrapped in rawhide is extremely hard. There are arrow windows and spear holes on the ship's building, which can be used for long-range attacks and melee combat. What's even more terrifying is that,

The ship was actually equipped with a trebuchet and a powerful bed crossbow.

Zhu Wen took a breath of air. He still underestimated the fighting power of ancient people.

If there were no "thunderbolts" brought by Zhu Wen, I am afraid that if the hundreds of men and horses brought by himself and Yang Xingmi came out to ambush, it would undoubtedly be an egg against a stone. I am afraid that one of these tall ships can carry more than a thousand men.

, God, if you put it this way, Gao Pian brought three or four thousand men and horses! Zhu Wen muttered secretly in his heart.

Yang Xingmi and Bi Shiduo were also worried. Although they had heard Zhu Wen talk about the power of "thunderbolts", they had never seen it with their own eyes. When they saw such a huge ship, their self-confidence was shaken.

But there was no room for them to think too much at this time, everything could only go according to plan.

The three building boats were moving down the river very quickly. There were two soldiers on the bow who seemed to be talking. Suddenly they saw two dilapidated fishing boats in the river. They hurriedly shouted to the fishing boats from a distance: "Get out of the way."

, you must be impatient with life! Get out of here."

Yang Xingmi, who was disguised as an old fisherman, looked panicked, as if he was scared, and he suddenly lay down on the fishing boat. The young man named Huang Hao also looked like he was in a hurry, but he also seemed to be inexperienced and worked for a long time.

, the small fishing boat didn’t row very far.

Bi Shiduo and Huo Cun also pretended to be panicked, but the boat was moving side by side with Yang Xingmi's boat, with a distance of five or six feet between them. The large building boat couldn't get through at all. If they collided, the two fishing boats would definitely be

The fate of shipwreck and death.

The two soldiers on the bow of the boat shouted. Seeing the fishermen in the boat struggling to row the boat, they were worried for them. When they were about to collide, the two soldiers closed their eyes and didn't want to see that.
