Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Anti-Ambush
Nangong Jinse: "Indeed."
Hao Lianche: "What should we do now? Retreat to Songshan?"
Nangong Jinse shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Bianguan City now and catch them off guard. After all, the walls on Bianguan City are not as difficult as those on the other side."
Hao Lianxuan: "What do you mean is that we will give up Bianguan City and take it back?"
Nangong Jinse: "That's how I think."
Hao Lianjing: "They probably haven't recovered yet. It's a good time for us to go now."
Hao Lianche: "Okay, let's go back now."
Several people made a decision and headed towards the border city without stopping.
In the border city, Duanmushi came to Duanmuqing with a sad look on his face.
Duanmushi lowered his head and said blaming himself: "Brother, I'm useless. I couldn't stop my fourth brother and let me bury my fourth brother in a dangerous place."
When Duanmu Qing heard this, he looked furious and looked at Duanmushi in surprise, then looked sad.
Duanmu Qing silently said nothing, then put his hand behind him and clenched it tightly.
Duanmushi: "The fourth brother brought 200,000 troops to pursue him, and they all died in a dangerous place, and no one survived."
Duanmu Qing's face turned even more ugly when he heard this.
At this time, Duanmu Ye walked in, looking at the bad expressions of the two of them, and guessed in his heart that something had happened?
Duanmu Ye asked tentatively: "Brother, what's wrong with the second brother? What about the fourth brother?"
Duanmushi: "The third brother and the fourth brother died and lost 200,000 soldiers."
"What? How could it be?" Duanmu Ye said in surprise.
Jiujiu Duanmu Qing said lightly: "It seems that we are not as skilled as others this time and have been plotted."
Duanmushi: "I really didn't expect that they could guess our plan and set up an ambush. When they came to siege the city, there were indeed many suspicious places, but we didn't pay attention at that time."
Duanmu Ye: "The fourth brother must have died after not listening to the advice this time."
Duanmushi said helplessly: "I have told him that my elder brother will not give him a transfer order, but he said he wanted to pursue him alone. How could I feel at ease? So I planned to dispatch 200,000 troops to go with him, but just as he was about to leave, he was dragged by Hao Lianxuan. Now he thinks he should have done it on purpose."
Hearing this, Duanmu Ye realized that Nangong Jinse was looking for him probably to deliberately delay him.
Duanmu Ye said sadly: "Where is the corpse of the fourth brother?"
Duanmushi: "I couldn't get it back in a dangerous place."
Hearing this, Duanmu Ye silently stopped talking, but felt very sad
Duanmuqing: "The city tower on Bianguan City is not that high or thick, and it is much easier to take than there, so we must guard it well, otherwise we will be taken down by them if we are not careful. Now they have more soldiers than us, and we must think about every step we take."
Duanmushi: "Brother, otherwise you can use divination to calculate their movements."
Duanmu Ye: "Second brother, although the eldest brother's divination technique is very accurate, it is a chance to spy on the heavens and be punished by heaven. You can use it at most two or three times a year. If it is used too normal, you will know the consequences."
Duanmu Qing: "The most important thing is to avenge your fourth brother now. No matter whether it is a secret or a secret, it is a secret or a punishment of heaven or not."
As he said that, Duanmu Qing took out his divination props and began to divine.
He looked at the Gua Xiang Duanmu Qing and said with a depressed look: "They are likely to turn back to attack the city immediately and catch us off guard."
Duanmushi: "Then we will make arrangements in advance and wait for them to fall into the trap."
Duanmuqing: "You will immediately bring 20,000 archers outside the city and ambush them when they attack the city, and then they will come out and get attacked from both sides. At that time, I will drop some smoke tubes downwards, and you just need to shoot arrows according to them."
Duanmushi: "Okay, I'll go now."
Duanmuqing: "Third brother, go to the city tower to guard, prepare the archers and smoke cylinders, and they will arrive soon by time."
"Um."
Duanmushi and Duanmuye walked out one after another.
Duanmu Qing looked at the hexagram and thought about Duanmu Jue's death, and couldn't help but slapped the table with a palm.
"Hmph! I don't believe you can win my hexagram."
Soon, Nangong Jinse and others came not far downstairs and looked up the city tower.
Duanmu Ye stood on the city tower and was not surprised to see Nangong Jinse and the others coming. After all, Duanmu Qing's hexagram has always been very accurate.
Hao Lianche: "Let's attack the city directly?"
Nangong Jinse: "Well, attack directly. The city wall here is not high, so it should be easy to get in."
So Nangong Jinse raised his hand and the soldiers behind him headed towards the city tower.
Duanmu Ye saw this and said, "Shot arrows and smoke cylinders."
Seeing the arrow rain hit, the soldiers blocked their way forward with shields, but what they didn't expect was that they actually threw down the smoke tank, and suddenly they were surrounded by smoke and could not see clearly.
At this moment, Duanmushi and the archers surrounded Nangong Jinse and the others and began to shoot arrows, and arrows were also being fired upstairs. Now they have undoubtedly become something in their pockets.
Nangong Jinse felt an arrow shot from behind, and she secretly cried out in her heart, and she was actually ambushed.
Nangong Jinse yelled: "Everyone is in a group, retreating back to back with shields."
Hao Lianxuan and the others rode out on the horse, blocking the arrows with swords while running. As soon as they walked out of the smoke area, they saw Duanmushi and some people surrounding them.
At this time, Duanmushi saw that Nangong Jinse and the others had run out of the smoke area and ordered people to retreat to both sides, retreating to the edge of the smoke and the arrows on the building could not shoot.
Seeing this, Nangong Jinse and others had no time to pursue them. The most important thing now is to let the army evacuate first.
Upstairs, Duanmuqing had already walked upstairs to see the battle situation downstairs, with a calm expression on his face.
After a while, the soldiers finally evacuated in a mess. Not to mention the people who died under the arrow, there were more than 10,000 people who were injured. It is conceivable that Nangong Jinse and the others suffered heavy losses this time.
In the distance, Nangong Jinse and others looked quietly at the city tower.
Hao Lianche said angrily: "They actually guessed that we were going to come back to attack the city. I'm afraid we would lose 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers this time."
Nangong Jinse stared at Duanmu Qing with a dim expression, and Hao Lianxuan and Hao Lianjing were the same. They seemed to have forgotten that there was another master of fortune telling in Nanyang, and nine out of ten hexagrams were accurate.
Nangong Jinse: "Everyone retreated five kilometers and set up camp."
After Nangong Jinse and the others retreated, Duanmuye opened the city gate and let Duanmushi enter the city.
Duanmushi: "They must be surprised that we still have an ambush."
Duanmuqing: "This time they also lost 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, which is already good."
Duanmushi: "But this time, they will definitely attack the city carefully. It is probably impossible for us to ambush them again."
Duanmu Qing: "Let's talk about what happened next."
Several people walked down the city tower.
Nangong Jinse and others returned to the tent and kept silent.
I don’t know how long it took, Hao Lianxuan said: “I think it’s probably because of Duanmu Qing this time.”
Hao Lianjing: "I think so too."
Hao Lianche: "We have always ignored Duanmuqing's skills."
Nangong Jinse: "Duanmu Qing's hexagram will be so accurate? Then why did he calculate the hexagram before he didn't act? In this way, Duanmu Jue would not die."
Hao Lianxuan: "You don't know that Duanmu Qing's hexagram is actually very accurate, but divination techniques are a thing that can be used to spy on the secrets of heaven and will be punished by heaven. Therefore, they cannot be used frequently."
Nangong Jinse: "So that's the case. It seems that he is going to go against the will of heaven because of Duanmu Jue's death?"
Hao Lianxuan: "I don't know, but we must be careful in the future."
Nangong Jinse: "If his hexagram is accurate every time, then we will be destroyed?"
Hao Lianche: "Not every time, nine out of ten hexagrams are accurate, or there are times when they are inaccurate, or they cannot calculate it."
Nangong Jinse: "Since that's the case, we still have a chance. It seems that we must think carefully about how to deal with them."
Hao Lianjing: "You are right."
Nangong Jinse: "Now that their troops are out of power, they probably won't go out of the city to fight head-on. It seems that we have to find a way to get in or let them voluntarily withdraw from the city."
Hao Lianche: "I'm afraid this is not easy, right?"
Hao Lianxuan: "It's too late today, let's take a break early. If you have any considerations, make plans tomorrow."
Everyone nodded, indeed a little tired.
