Chapter 40: Weird Ambush (Part 1)

The strings move, the wind roars, and the arrows flash!

The "Three Kingdoms Arrow God" looked ahead coldly, with cold faces, with no joy or sorrow. However, seeing the famous Sui Shang general who was racing ahead, Li Yan, the "Lion Tiger" suddenly shaking violently, but did not fall off the horse. Instead, he turned around, clasped his fists and shouted in a deep voice: "Thank you for the gift of a arrow, and I will be rewarded next time~~" It turned out that Huang Zhong's arrow was shot at his helmet!

On this side, Huang Zhong smiled slightly when he heard this, raised his head slightly and didn't say anything. He went straight back to the camp by horse. It seemed that he had not let go of the other general, but had done something insignificant.

When Huang Zhong returned to the camp, Xue Wanche came up with a smile and said generously: "General Huang's sharp shooting is indeed unique in the world!" After that, he laughed again, then stopped and shook his head and whispered: "Although that man just now was indeed a good general, but... he was a traitor. What kind of loyalty, filial piety, integrity and shame do he know? Although the general spared his life, he was afraid he would not be grateful!"

Although Huang Zhong was arrogant, he was not a person who was not a human being. Seeing Xue Wanche so generous, he smiled faintly and said, "It's just a group of mobs, what's the point!"

Xue Wanche laughed again: "Haha~~ General Huang said it well, it's just a group of clowns. Wait until His Royal Highness arrives, let's work together to wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Xue Wanche and Huang Zhong were talking and laughing here, but Li Liang's image when he returned to Jiangzhou Prefecture was a little miserable. His armor was crooked, his helmet was untraceable, and his face was pale. From a distance, he looked like he had been fished out of the water!

However, when Yang Xuyan rushed down from the city tower, he ignored this situation. Instead, he grabbed Li Liang and looked up and down anxiously. Then he patted his chest and said, "Hello Uncle Li, it's really a blessing. My nephew Zhuo Shi regrets letting Uncle Li go to fight. He just saw that the man actually shot arrows from behind and attacked Uncle Li. My nephew was so scared that he was so scared! When my nephew took the man's head tonight, he would vent his anger for Uncle Li!" In a short sentence, he did not mention the battle situation in half, but only cared about Li Liang. Yang Xuyan's artificiality, not only Li Liang himself, but also the soldiers around him showed a touching expression.

Li Liang was moved when he saw Yang Xuyan treating him so well, but replied in a low voice: "Li Liang thanked the prince for his concern, but Li Liang had a word but didn't know whether to say it or not..."

Yang Xuyan bowed and bowed: "Xuyan respectfully led Uncle Li to teach."

Li Liang's face was calm and said in a harmonious voice: "Your Highness, you are now the crown prince of the Great Sui Dynasty. You must never perform the sneaky assassination of the past. This is one of them. Secondly, that man is a green willow and Huang Zhong, who is not loses his integrity and integrity. His martial arts are also far above Li Liang. This time, Li Liang sneaked in front of him, and knew he would be defeated, and he was brave enough to escape from him. He only relies on the Huang Zhong shooting, even if he attacked in person, Li Liang could not avoid it. A real man was born between heaven and earth, and he had to have a clear conscience in his actions! Don't insult others with a harsh words!"

Yang Xuyan's expression was even more respectful and bowed again: "Xuyan has recorded the teachings of Uncle Li."

Li Liang paused slightly, raised his head and turned to look outside the city and said, "We are indeed invincible to Huang Zhong's ability just now, but the prince is relieved. We have made complete arrangements for this battle. Even if this person can turn the world, he will only be able to do anything..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Xuyan said respectfully: "Uncle Li doesn't need to say anything. My nephew doesn't know much about military affairs. Just tell me how to cooperate. Uncle Li will have to worry about this war!"

This trick "does not doubt people" is much higher than the "consider's concern" just now. Even if Li Liang is used to seeing sinister people in the officialdom, he can't help but feel warm... Yang Xuyan is worthy of being the evil king Gao. Not to mention other abilities, but this method of winning people's hearts is probably no longer inferior to Yang Guang's past! (Don't think that Yang Guang's name is an idiot. In fact, before Yang Guang ascended the throne, the reputation among the people and ministers was not comparable to that of Li Shimin later... It was another matter after ascending the throne.)

A man counts a tiger, and a tiger counts a human being; in such various calculations and calculations, the first day of Jiangzhou siege passed by...

The next day, the Tang Feng army still did not take any siege. Xue Wanche and the others thought it very clearly. Suppressing rebellion is different from ordinary battles. The goal of suppressing rebellion should be to kill the opponent's live power as much as possible rather than siege the city. Therefore, the attitude they adopted was also very obvious. If you want to defend, you should defend. Anyway, my goal is to surround you here. As for siege... I don't need to consider it!

Of course, as a general, everyone is eager to make contributions, but Xue Wanche understands very well that first of all, cavalry is not suitable for siege battles, and secondly... the prince of the regent has led the army to fight in person. How dare you not leave this last battle for others? Compete with your future master for military merits. Is your brother so comfortable that he doesn't want to do it?

When Tang Fengjun did not attack the city, Yang Xuyan's subordinates were happy. They also had their plans to make a complete plan. The left and right were already at this point. It was more comfortable to defend the city than to be chased and kicked randomly. It was so difficult that both legs could run through four legs?

Under such a wonderful tacit understanding, the second day of Jiangzhou Prefecture's besiege passed...

Early in the morning of the third day, Tang Fengjun's spirit was obviously cheered up, and everyone was eager to look at the way they came, and the infantry was slower, but they should have arrived in Jiangzhou City in three days. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the real battle might begin soon...

"Report~~" A fast horse came over, and the soldiers were covered in dust. The fast horse rushed straight into the camp without stopping, and in an instant, he came to Xue Wanche's tent.

"Say~~" The orders in the army were simple and clear, and Xue Wanche did not intend to say the second word.

"The army commanded by the Prince of the Supervisor has been less than ten miles away from the camp..." The explorer took a heavy breath and spoke out the information that Xue Wanche was most concerned about.

"Not ten miles? Very fast speed..." Xue Wanche was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he didn't know whether he was praising or sarcasm. He paused heavily and saw him suddenly stood up and laughed and said, "General Huang, the lord has arrived. Please follow me to greet him~~"

This is very easy to say. The problem is that Huang Zhong’s reaction is not so smooth. He knocked his eyes lightly, and Huang Zhong said calmly without joy or anger: "Huang is a member of Green Willow City. Although His Royal Highness is honored, he is not our lord. General Xue, please go by yourself~~"

This made Xue Wanche feel a little speechless, but he was also malicious just now. It seemed like a simple sentence, but he set up several traps. If Huang Zhong had not discovered it, with just this "lord", at least the independence of the five thousand elite cavalry in Green Willow City and even the 20,000 army would definitely not be able to be protected!

"That's good...this is good. There is always someone here to stare at me, so I'll go to welcome the lord first." Gan Gan smiled, Xue Wanche found a step for himself, said casually, and turned around and left immediately, but he didn't notice the expression of stalking the horse beside him, but he stopped.

Xue Wanche is just a soldier after all, and he can't learn or do the behavior of a politician. Things like "release the power of military power with a glass of wine" are "insulated" from real soldiers...

With a roar, Xue Wanche galloped away with his personal soldiers, but when he rushed closer, Xue Wanche showed a look of confusion on his face.

The army in front of me had a crooked flag and a disorganized team. The soldiers looked depressed and their armor was messy. They didn't look like they were going to war, but they looked like a defeated soldier who had just lost his armor.

"General Dugu... What's going on?" Xue Wanche immediately met Dugu Xian, the rising star of the Dugu family who was also Li Jiancheng's confidant general, and asked quietly.

When Dugu Xian heard this, he looked at Xue Wanche with a bitter look on his face and said in a muffled voice: "Haha~~Mr. Xue~~We...we were ambushed yesterday..."

"What! I was ambushed!" Xue Wanche felt incredible when he heard this: "How could he be ambushed? Aren't there a vast plain along the way?"

It is no wonder that Xue Wanche felt incredible. The so-called "ambush" must first consider the terrain issue. There are no canyons, and special terrains suitable for hiddenness. The so-called "ambush" is just a joke. From Jiangzhou City to where Li Jiancheng was stationed before, it was an endless plain. Even terrain such as small hills is very rare, let alone a canyon that can be ambushed. In a dangerous place like dense forests, otherwise Xue Wanche and the others would not have divided their troops and the light cavalry would have rushed forward.

Under such circumstances, Dugu Xian actually told Xue Wanche that "they" were "ambushed"! Xue Wanche did not directly criticize him, and he was already very proud of the other party. At this moment, his eyes looked at Dugu Xian and said that you are an idiot-_-!

Dugu Xian didn't say anything when he saw Xue Wanche's eyes, but just smiled bitterly. Xue Wanche was depressed now. He worked hard to welcome Li Jiancheng, not to get into trouble. Now, looking at the scene in front of him, it seemed that the possibility of hitting the gun suddenly increased. If he ran in without asking clearly, what would happen if he would be like...

Rubbing his nose, Xue Wanche said depressedly: "Brother Dugu, tell me in detail what's going on!"

Dugu Xian looked at the other party bitterly. Xue Wanche is now the confidant of Prince Li Jiancheng and one of the few people that Dugu wants to win over. He is not willing to offend the other party too much. He sighed and said that the corners of Wang Dafu's eyes collapsed and vomited blood three times the day before.
