Chapter 286 Ambush

Hengzhou.

There is a Qinghe River between Hengzhou and Fanzhou, and the Xiao family army and the Chen family army are far away from each other across the water.

Chen Qinyu stood on a large rock by the river with her hands behind her back and her long hair flying.

Wuwei came from not far away, holding a food box in his hand.

"Let's eat something." He followed Chen Qinyu's gaze and looked across the river.

Chen Qinyu hummed softly and sat down on the big rock.

Wuwei took a deep breath and jumped, then landed lightly on the big rock.

The food box was opened and Chen Qinyu helped to set the table.

Inside was a plate of dried meat and two multi-grain steamed buns.

"Sir, do you think I can win this battle?" Chen Qinyu asked suddenly.

Wuwei looked at her in surprise.

She has always been very confident and believed that she could succeed in whatever she did. Wuwei had never seen her so confused.

"What's wrong? That doesn't sound like something you would ask." A rare smile appeared on Wuwei's usually cold face.

Chen Qinyu shook her head. "Sir, I just feel a little uncertain all of a sudden." After a pause, she looked straight at the middle-aged man in front of her. "You will always stand by me, right?"

Wu Wei opened his mouth and was about to say "of course" when Chen Qinyu raised his hand to stop him from answering, "Sir, when my father was in trouble, you saved me and sent me to the Chen family. You also taught me martial arts and strategies. In my heart, you are my father."

"Chen Qingzhi betrayed me. He stood against me. I hope you will never betray me. Is that okay?"

Her voice was calm, but there was an emotion in her eyes that Wuwei couldn't understand.

He was stunned for a moment, "Okay, I swear here that if I betray you in the future, I will pay you with my life."

Chen Qinyu didn't expect that he would suddenly swear, and her eyes turned red.

"Sir, there is no need to do this. I believe you."

……

……

The Xiao family army camp separated by a river.

Tiedan, who was as strong as a mountain, opened the curtain and entered the commander's tent.

"General, are you looking for me?"

Xiao Zheng sat in the main seat with two large plates of mutton on the long table in front of him.

"Come, let's eat the freshly slaughtered lamb and talk." Xiao Zheng raised his hand and invited Tiedan to sit down together.

Tiedan did not pick up his chopsticks first, but waited for Xiao Zheng to pick up his chopsticks before picking up the mutton in front of him.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Zheng finally started to talk about business.

"Commander Tie, His Majesty only told us to hold Chen Qinyu back, but there has been no response yet on what to do next. I don't know..."

Tiedan's expression remained unchanged, he still looked honest and humble.

"His Majesty said that if Chen Qinyu wants to fight, then she can fight. She is nothing to be feared. As for the rest... General Xiao just needs to guard this place."

This is the best he could do to remind him. The rest...all depended on Xiao Zheng to figure out on his own.

Xiao Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that His Majesty has a backup plan, so he only needs to deal with Chen Qinyu.

Tiedan stood up and left the tent, looking towards the northwest.

Tie Qing... should have already faced them by now.

He doesn’t know how strong the Northwest is, and he is looking forward to it.

……

……

Wuzhou.

Deputy General Qin was lying on his stomach in the grass on the slope, with a piece of hard bread tucked into his chest.

Feeling a little hungry, I took it out and took a big bite.

The night was eerily quiet. He thought, damn the imperial court, they made him lie in ambush here in the middle of the night. He would kill them all in a moment, otherwise it would be a shame for his hard work. There was a rustling sound in the grass beside him. Deputy General Qin kicked over and said, "Ambush! Do you have fleas?"

A pitiful voice came from the side, "There's a bug crawling on me..."

Deputy General Qin kicked again, "You have to hold it in!"

Just as he was about to curse a few more times, Yu Chaosheng's voice suddenly came from not far away, "Here I come!"

Deputy General Qin immediately fell silent, quickly stuffed the unfinished black bread into his arms, and lay on the ground motionless, with only his two eyes showing through the gaps between the grass leaves.

On the official road, a team of black-armored soldiers were marching forward with torches, and their voices could be faintly heard.

It is not the language of Dayu, but the Tatar language.

Yu Chaosheng's upturned phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. These must be the 500 Tartars in the hands of the new emperor back then.

No one knows where the remaining 500 Tatars went. Pan Yingying guessed that they should be in the hands of the new emperor, but it still needs to be confirmed.

That team of black-armored soldiers had about 50,000 men, and they were probably sent by the new emperor to lead the charge and test the strength of the northwest.

Everyone clenched their weapons tightly, just following Chaosheng's order.

There were only 30,000 of them, but they were not afraid.

Are there 50,000 people down there?

This is one hundred thousand taels of silver!

A full one hundred thousand taels!
Their hearts were beating like drums and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would not pay attention, fail to hear the order to attack, and miss the opportunity to get the kill in the first place.

Finally, those one hundred thousand, pah, those fifty thousand people entered the encirclement that had been set up long ago.

Yu Chaosheng blew the whistle in his hand.

The whistle sounded shrilly, and suddenly countless men in black emerged from the hillside, working in groups of two, and pushed down the huge rocks.

Pan Yingying went to the mine and collected these stones, thinking that they might be useful during the war. Unexpectedly, she actually used them.

This morning, Yu Chaosheng put the stones in the valley and had people move them to the hillside to ambush.

I didn't do anything serious that day, just moving stones.

Huge rocks rolled down. Deputy General Qin stood up, grabbed the stone in front of him and threw it down with force.

One person throwing a stone is nothing, but what about ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand people throwing stones at the same time?

As a rain of stones fell densely, many of the dragon guards on horseback were knocked off their horses.

Realizing they were ambushed, they quickly calmed down, used their horses to hide themselves, and were ready to attack at any time.

But after the rain of stones, there was no more movement around.

They waited for a while, and seeing that no one came to kill them, they tentatively raised their heads, but as soon as they raised their heads, they were hit on the head with a stone as big as a bowl.

"Ouch!" The man cried out and was knocked to the ground by the stone.

He was so angry that he muttered a lot, picked up a stone and threw it towards the hillside.

But he was hit on the head and felt dizzy. How could he hit the target?
As soon as he stood up, he was hit on the head with a stone again, and this time he fell to the ground and fainted.

The people who threw the stones were soldiers from the "Shenlei Camp". They were specially trained to hit the heads and never the buttocks.

They still remembered Yu Chaosheng's instructions to "kill them as soon as they show their heads."

The dragon guards below were enraged by the stone and started rushing up the slope with their weapons raised.

Tie Qing commanded loudly, "We must fight in close combat! And we must be fast!"

Before he finished speaking, a muffled thunder sounded suddenly from the crowd.

The body parts mixed with gravel and dirt fell all over his head and face.

Tie Qing: ...Fuck!

The intelligence was wrong, they actually had divine thunder in their hands!

In fact, Yu Chaosheng wanted to use thunder and lightning to disperse the team at the beginning, but thinking that he still had to fight a protracted war, he wanted to save a lot, and stones were obviously more cost-effective.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. After a while of stones being thrown, thousands of people were knocked unconscious on the ground. Then another thunder went off, and those who fainted couldn't even run away and went straight to heaven.

I was stuck in a box, so I went out and had a big meal, and finally managed to get through it.

It’s the end of the month, please give me some votes.
