Chapter 63: ambush

Views:

Happy days are always short, ten days later, the imperial decree arrived in Yuncheng. Emperor Hongzheng first praised Jing Shao loudly, and then ordered him to immediately command the southeast to suppress the rebellion, cover up the rebels, and assassinate the prince of the southeast king. Along with the imperial decree, there was also the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who was temporarily dispatched to take over the affairs of the southwest.

The southwest has always been governed by a vassal king, but now that he suddenly returned to the imperial court, there are more than a thousand things to do. The emperor had a secret order for him to take over after pacifying the southwest. I thought it would take a year or two to say, but I never expected It only took two months to become the king, and the governor's gray beard was almost completely white.

Jing Shao was very fortunate that his father did not let him stay and smooth the government affairs first.

The southeast fiefdom is not connected to the southwest, and is separated by Guangdong and Guangxi. Guangdong and Guangxi have always been places of exile. The towns are scattered and sparsely populated, but the scenery is beautiful. The peaks and peaks are stacked, and the clear streams and waterfalls are dizzying.

In autumn, the weather is no longer so hot. When the scenery is good, Jingshao pulls the people out of the carriage and rides Xiaohei with him. The tiger cub is rejected by Jingshao because he has gained weight again. Aggrieved, he leaned on the car window and looked out.

Right Hujun looked at the strategist who comfortably used the prince as his back, and his back could not help a little sore after riding the horse for a few days. Zuo Hujun saw that he was moving around on the horse, and gradually leaned over: "If you are tired, ride a horse with me."

When marching in a hurry, in order to keep going day and night, the two of them would ride on a wheel to rest, so Zuo Hujun’s suggestion was not out of line, but…

When You Hujun heard this, he woke up in a smart way, "My friendship with the lord is convenient for the right guard and the left guard." Zuo Hujun, who had an expression on his face, was struck by lightning and almost fell off his horse.

"Who said I'm tired, go to the side!" The right guard waved to the left guard like a fly, and then followed Zhao Meng on his horse.

The journey is not too far, but the mountains are high and the water is long, and it is inevitable to walk for a while. It took more than half a month to arrive at Liangyi Mountain.

It is easy to have Tai Chi, and it is the beginning of two rituals.

Liangyi refers to yin and yang. The two mountains are named because of the great difference between yin and yang, and they rise from a small hill in the southeast. instrument.

Liangyi Mountain is a large mountain range, and it is the shortest way to enter the southeast.

Sitting in the carriage, Mu Hanzhang frowned slightly as he looked at the mountains outside the window. The mountains here are so high, but the road is sandwiched between the mountains. If they encounter an ambush, it will be dangerous.

"This is not the scope of the Southeast fief, who would come to ambush!" said Zhao Meng, who came to chat, "This place is still a hundred miles away from the fief."

"Perhaps I'm thinking too much." Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips and looked down at the "Ji Shui Jing Zhu" in his hand. The book said that Liangyi Mountain is the largest mountain range in the southeast. The front and back are parallel to the two mountains, and pedestrians only Can travel between mountains. Jing Shao said that in the dream, he did not take Liangyi Mountain, but turned back from Jiangnan to the southeast and walked on the flat land along the coast, so he did not know what he would encounter along the way.

"Wow!" Xiao Huang saw that his master ignored it for a long time, and threw himself on the book in his hand, his sharp claws stabbed and cut through the pages of the book that painted Liangyi Mountain.

Holding the paw, Mu Hanzhang slowly moved the book out and flicked the little tiger's head. The little tiger cub has grown a lot. From the beginning, it was only short arms, but now it is two feet long, and the whole body has gained a lot of weight. I pinched it because it was still a pink pad, it was soft and warm, I couldn't help pinching it a couple more times.

Xiao Huang squatted obediently and let him knead, Mu Hanzhang scratched Xiaohu's head, and then lowered his head to read the book. The little tiger rubbed his legs and lay down on his back, turned out his belly with fine white fluff, raised his head and stretched out his claws to hook his book, Mu Hanzhang smiled and took out a small piece of jerky to feed it.

"咴~" There was a sudden neighing sound of horses in front, and the carriage stopped with a bang. Mu Hanzhang hurriedly supported the wall of the carriage to stabilize his body, and lifted the curtain to look at the cavalry in front of him. The sound of hooves was getting closer.

Jing Shaoduan sat on the horse and looked coldly at the black cavalry in front of him, rushing aggressively on this narrow passage, guessing that the old thief of the King of Southeast would not sit still.

"Cavalry back!" Jing Shao gave the order, raised his hand, and the infantry behind quickly rushed forward, lined up with spears, protected by iron shields, "kakaka" formed a long line, sealing the mountain road tightly. . At the same time, the archers lined up behind the shield, "swish swish" and began to shoot the incoming enemy.

The strongest of the Southeast Army is the bow and arrow, so it is necessary to strike first.

Thousands of arrows were fired in unison, like thousands of birds suddenly flying into the sky. After the majestic sound of breaking through the sky, it was the neighing of war horses and the wailing of soldiers.

The enemy did not expect Jingshao to react so quickly, and after a while, they would be able to rush into the shooting range of Jingshao's cavalry, but they were blocked by Shengsheng.

Not long after, the enemy's arrows were shot in the air, and they could only be shot at the infantry, but the cavalry behind them could not be reached. The infantry was ordered to spread out and stand in a yoke formation, leaving 50% of the open space. The number of people hit by arrows has dropped sharply, but it is inevitable that some people will not be able to resist.

Jing Shao sat on the horse and remained motionless, waiting for the arrow rain of the opponent to weaken, and said coldly, "Zhao Meng!"

"The last commander is here!" Zhao Meng heard the call and immediately rushed forward.

"Bring 500 cavalry and break the arrow formation!" Jing Shao raised his silver spear and pointed at the person in the center of the arrow formation. That person should be the leader of the team, that is, it is not known if it was the divine arrow general from the 18th year of Hongzheng in his previous life.

"Order!" Zhao Meng picked up the big sword and rushed out first. The five hundred cavalry formed a pointed cone, split the infantry shield formation, and rushed straight towards the opponent's team.

"Kill—" Zhao Meng took the lead, swinging his sword while running to block the arrows that were constantly being shot. Such a desperate charge would inevitably lose some cavalry. The archers, who were in the forefront of the Southeast Army, changed positions in a panic, and it was too late.

"Kill!" Seeing this situation, the leader of the opponent waved his cavalry and rushed forward, shouting for a while.

Mu Hanzhang lifted the curtain and frowned as he watched the battle. The opponent's cavalry broke through Zhao Meng's cone formation and attacked the infantry.

Jing Shao turned his head and glanced at him: "Junqing, don't come out." He made a gesture to the left and right guards, and the two immediately took the two groups of men and walked a few steps forward. Hold firmly.

The cavalry encountered the spears blocking the front row and immediately began to fight.

Hao Dadao waved the Hunyuan knife, rushed up with the cavalry, and slashed the head of the cavalry at the forefront, and immediately the spirit of the army was greatly lifted.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a group of southeastern troops suddenly rushed out from behind the mountain stream on the left, and cut off the infantry formation behind the cavalry. Jing Shao motioned for Hao Dadao to continue to withstand the cavalry in front, and quickly turned his horse's head. , The commander of the Shu army at the back immediately understood, and led the infantry to rush up to block the soldiers and horses that had not yet escaped the mountain stream in the crevices of the mountain. The mountain stream was clear and shallow, and was quickly dyed red by blood.

The sound of horses' hooves stepping on the water came from far to near, and a group of cavalry rushed out from the army blocking the exit after the infantry. The leader of the team was unstoppable, killed three cavalrymen in a row, and attacked Jingshao's facade with a green dragon halberd.

Jing Shao raised his spear to block the crescent blade on the head of the halberd, turned his wrist, and pressed his side sideways, pressing the Qinglong halberd under the silver spear.

Sitting by the car window, Mu Hanzhang frowned and watched Jing Shao fight with others. He was very worried. Suddenly, he heard the sound of breaking the air, and saw a sharp arrow passing through the layers of people and shooting straight at Jing Shao's back. Zuo Hujun took out the sharp blade from his waist and pulled a sword to cut off the menacing arrow. But it turned out that the position where he and the right guard were standing couldn't help protecting the carriage, which also happened to block the two directions of attacking Prince Neng.

Mu Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he couldn't help much on the real battlefield, and naturally he wouldn't go out to cause trouble.

The person who fought with Jing Shao was highly skilled in martial arts, and a green dragon halberd made him superb. A shovel came straight to Jing Shao's heart. Jing Shao's silver spear slipped in his arms and stood in front of his chest to block this move. He returned the gun with his backhand, twisted the crescent blade and stabbed the man in both eyes. The other was startled, and hurried back to block. Unexpectedly, this King Cheng was so young that he had already practiced to the point where the gun and man are one. The silver spear is like a part of his own body, its hooks and rebounds are extremely precise.

The man turned sideways to avoid Jing Shao's attack, with the flat blade of the Qinglong halberd across his chest, and the smooth silver spear was firmly clamped between the iron halberd and the armor, unable to move.

There was a sneer on the corner of Jing Shao's lips, he held the gun in one hand and let go abruptly. It was too late and the time was too fast. When the white horses passed through the gap, Jing Shao suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist and cut the man's throat with one sword. He quickly grabbed the gun barrel with his left hand, slapped the man on the chest hard, and threw him off the horse.

"Good marksmanship!" Hao Dadao killed the last cavalry, and when he looked back at Jing Shao's last move, he couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration. The accuracy of this rush can only be achieved after more than ten years of hard work. The age of becoming a weak crown king has reached the stage, which is really a genius.

"Whoosh whoosh!" The sound of breaking the sky suddenly woke up the joyful crowd, Jing Shao turned back suddenly, and saw three arrows shot straight at him.

Three arrows are fired at once, General Divine Arrow!

Jing Shao's eyes widened suddenly. The reason why he didn't dodge back then was because the three arrows were fired in unison, and when they reached him, they were already divided into characters, blocking all his escape routes, avoiding one but not the other. Two, and people will subconsciously dodge to one side at this time.

"Jing Shao!" Mu Hanzhang exclaimed in surprise, watching three arrows attacking Jing Shao, but he didn't dodge and stayed where he was, letting the arrows shoot straight at his body!
