"Father, look quickly." Pan Bu pointed down the mountain with his hand.
Dakui nodded and said with a smile: "Well, my father had already predicted that this valley is very dangerous and is indeed a good place for an ambush."
It turned out that Mao Chi was very angry after being defeated, so he ordered his troops to set up an ambush in the valley. However, things happened in a hurry, and the Miao soldiers never dreamed that Da Kui would then lead his men to climb high to investigate.
.As a result, Miao Bing was discovered by Dakui and others before he was fully prepared.
The ambush place was on the stone cliffs on both sides of the valley post road. From a distance, I saw the Miao soldiers carrying stones on the stone cliffs. It seemed that they were going to kill me.
"Wu Ya obeys the order. Go back and tell Mr. Wang that we will stand still and wait for my news." Dakui ordered while looking at the busy Miao soldiers in the distance down the mountain.
"I obey!" Wu Ya had just recovered his breath, but he didn't dare to say no even half a word when he heard Dakui's order.
Just when Wu Yakang was about to turn around and go down the mountain, Dakui continued: "After giving the order, hurry back here and make sure there is no mistake."
When Wu Ya heard this, he felt a thump in his head. He felt dizzy and almost fell down the mountain. However, due to his responsibilities, he had no choice but to go down the mountain to deliver the order.
The scorching sun made people sweat even if they didn't move, so it was better to find a cool place to hide. Dakui and Panbu found a big tree on the top of the mountain and sat on the ground in the shade.
"Father, what are we doing here?" Panbu asked softly, because Dakui was already lying down on the grass.
"The Miao people are working, so we will rest here. You can go and check in from time to time and report anything to me in time. If my father is sleepy, he should take a nap first." Dakui actually started to snore as he spoke.
The mountain breeze was blowing gently, and it was very cool under the shade of the trees. Dakui and his wife were stretched out and snoring on the grass. Every once in a while, Panbu would go to the edge of the cliff and look down the mountain. He saw thousands of Miao people hiding on the stone cliffs.
I felt relieved. Speaking of which, these Miao people were really heat-resistant. The cliff they were on was filled with nothing but rocks, and there weren't even a few clumps of grass.
The scorching sun was beating down like fire, and the cliffs looked dim in the distance. Those Miao people were actually hiding on the bare cliffs, which made people sweat just by looking at them.
Pan Bu knew in his heart that these Miao people would not stay on the cliff for too long, and he only waited for them to make any movements before informing his adoptive father.
In his sleep, Da Kui dreamed that his son Zhang Changfeng had grown up. He dreamed that Zhang Changfeng and Xiwen practiced martial arts and became famous in one fell swoop. He even dreamed that he was holding his grandson. Da Kui couldn't help but giggle.
Just as he was having a wonderful dream, Dakui was woken up by Pan Bu.
"Do you deserve a beating? I'm having a sweet dream..." Before Dakui could finish his words, Pan Bu said urgently: "Father, there is something going on with those Miao people."
Dakui was shocked when he heard this. He quickly stood up and went to the cliff where the Miao people were hiding. He saw nearly three thousand Miao people descending the mountain one after another. When he looked towards the post road, there was no one there.
Dakui chuckled and said, "It's okay, they went to enjoy the cool air. They must have set up a sentinel in a dark place." Dakui pointed to the post road at the bottom of the mountain and said, "The roads in this valley are narrow and uneven. We have cars and horses and it's very slow.
, they expected that I wouldn’t be able to get out of the valley for a while, so they dared to go down the mountain.”
Pan Bu was a little confused and said: "Why don't they swarm up and fight with us? We have very few people and they have the strength in numbers."
Dakui smiled and said: "This is what is called knocking the mountain to shock the tiger. If my father can subdue their leader with one move, how dare they do it again?"
Pan Bu nodded, as if he understood, but then asked: "Father, what should we do? Are we still waiting here?"
"If we don't move, they won't know our reality. If we get into the valley and are discovered by their eyes, there will be less danger there, and these Miao people can climb up the mountain while we are on our way. Look, the cliff
The ground is covered with rocks. When they come down from above and throw rocks at them, what can we do?"
Pan Bu couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?"
Dakui pondered for a moment and then said: "Take off their eyes, use our two hundred soldiers to seize the cliffs on both sides of the valley, and suppress the position with rolling rocks and flying arrows. Even if they are outnumbered, they can no longer do anything to us."
Pan Bu nodded, but Dakui was a little annoyed. Why hasn't Wu Ya come back after being gone for so long?
Dakui led Panbu down the mountain. As soon as he entered the forest, he saw Wu Yazheng climbing up the mountain hand and foot.
"There's no need to come up. Follow me down the mountain." Dakui said as he walked past Wu Ya calmly.
"Sir, wait...wait...for me." Wu Ya climbed down the mountain with Dakui again. In the past, he led the soldiers to practice, and all the subjects were planned by him and Meng Ge, and Wu Ya always
Sitting on a horse and monitoring the soldiers practicing their martial arts, he felt comfortable. Now that he was just going up and down the mountain, Wu Ya was already exhausted.
Da Kui said as he walked: "From now on, Hong Wu will be the captain of our Zhang Jiajun, and you will be demoted to a soldier." Although it was a simple sentence, Wu Ya was put into a miserable situation. From now on, he will be pampered and comfortable.
The days have gone away from him.
Back at the temporary camp, Dakui, Panbu and others had a hasty meal and then made careful arrangements.
Two hundred soldiers from the Zhang family, armed with weapons, hooks, ropes and other equipment, were led by Meng Ge and Pan Bu and left the camp to go deep into the mountains and forests. Dakui walked into the valley alone along the post road.
The setting sun was shining, and the mountains and forests were silent.
Mao Chi was sitting on a big rock by the side of the road, with a big tree behind him and several Miao soldiers waiting on him. At this moment, Mao Chi's right shoulder has been bandaged, but is it child's play to be penetrated by an iron gun? Xiao is Mao Chi.
He was strong and strong, but at this time his face was pale due to excessive blood loss.
"Boss, the Ming court's gift convoy is still at the entrance of the valley. Why don't we eliminate them in one fell swoop?" a Miao man next to him who looked like a leader encouraged.
"Don't act rashly. They are well-armed. If we fight hard, we won't get any advantage." Mao Chi spoke feebly, and even a fool could hear the fear of Da Kui in his words.
The leader beside him didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he took a water bag and gave it to Mao Chi to drink.
Mao Chi felt better after drinking water, and then gritted his teeth and said: "We must keep a close eye on them. If they dare to pass by here, I will definitely avenge this shot."
"You can rest assured, chief." The leader agreed and took another banana leaf to fan the banana.
It was so hot today that everyone could no longer hold on after not staying long on the mountain. Now a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry were resting at the foot of the cliff, waiting for the Ming court's convoy to pass by, so they could rely on the cliff to prepare
He was severely injured with rocks and rolling trees, and then his troops rushed down the mountain. They would surely kill all the Ming court officers and soldiers who were going to Zhongqing City to give gifts.
It turned out that when the Liang King knew that the Ming Dynasty was going to send an envoy to surrender, he sent troops to lead troops to intercept and kill Zaci Walmi.
It’s not easy to betray him openly, so he came up with this plan of killing with a borrowed knife. Once he succeeds, the King of Liang will be able to sit back and relax. After all, he didn’t even see the person who came to surrender, so how can it be regarded as disobedience and surrender?
?
Although medicine was applied to Mao Chi's wound, there was still blood oozing out, and he could not move his entire right arm for fear of affecting the injury. Mao Chi had been unconscious several times since he retreated here. Fortunately, the wound was bandaged in time, and so
The golden sore medicine I brought was extremely effective, so it stopped the bleeding and saved my life.
People say that hatred is a great driving force, and this seems to be true. Mao Chi's right shoulder was pierced by Dakui's gun. The spear head penetrated through the clavicle of Mao Chi's right shoulder, and then came out from above the right shoulder blade. The entire wound was a
A transparent hole, so seriously injured that a weak body would have died a long time ago. It is really unusual for Mao Chi to be alive.
Logically speaking, based on the condition of Mao Chi's injury at this moment, he should lie down and rest, but at this moment Mao Chi is still sitting on the big rock, staring at the post road in the valley with a pair of triangular eyes, as if he wants to spit out fire.
It was getting dark, and it seemed that the Ming court envoys and their teams of carriages and horses would not come. Mao Chi couldn't help spitting on the ground, and blamed himself in his heart. Why did he bring the team there at that time?
If an ambush is set up again early, wouldn't these gift-givers be meat on the chopping block?
The more Mao Chi thought about it, the more angry he became. In the midst of his anger, a Miao soldier from the valley post road came running from a distance, shouting as he ran: "Come on, come on, the Han convoy is coming."
"Everyone go up the mountain, hurry up, hurry up." When Mao Chi heard the report from the Miao soldier, he seemed to have forgotten about his injuries. He stood up and gave orders to the tree. Upon hearing this, the Miao soldiers scattered around quickly stood up, packed their things, and pulled their horses.
, suddenly became very busy.
Looking at Mao Chi again, after standing up suddenly, his face was even paler and covered with cold sweat. The Miao people beside him placed the tree and vine stretcher that had been prepared on the ground, and four people carefully lifted Mao Chi onto the stretcher.
Maochi was relieved because besides himself, the three thousand Miao people were also commanded by their second leader, Meng Lu.
Although three thousand people were a lot, climbing up mountains and down rivers was a natural skill they were quite familiar with. Within a short time, three thousand people arrived halfway up the mountain.
At this moment, something strange happened. The originally smooth mountain road was a little muddy. The sky was nice and there was no rain, but where did the water come from? A Miao man bent down and grabbed the wet soil on the ground and smelled it.
, after smelling it, he couldn't help being shocked: "Headman, there is oil on the ground."
Mao Chi was already drowsy, so he couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words. Only then did the Miao people notice that there were some hay branches on both sides of the mountain road. Coupled with the oil on the ground, it made people shudder just thinking about it.
Mao Chi shouted loudly: "The rear team changed to the front team and retreated down the mountain." After he finished speaking, there was a thunder-like sound on the mountain. The Miao people looked up and saw a huge stone smashing down with the power of thunder.
"Boom, click." There was a sound, and several thick-armed metasequoia trees beside the mountain road were smashed. If such a powerful force hit a person, wouldn't it be like smashing the person into a meat pie? Seeing this formation, the Miao people all
Look at Mao Chi on the stretcher.
Just when the Miao soldiers were panicking and running out of ideas, Meng Lu, the second leader, caught up from behind the team. He found a big stone on the side of the road and jumped on it in three steps and two steps at a time.
