Chapter 147 Ambush

I don't know how long it took, but in my sleep, Yang Qiuchi saw his first concubine, Qin Zhihui, standing on the hillside of the back mountain in Guangde County, waving to him from afar. Although it was far away, somehow, he could see the sweet smile on her face clearly.

Yang Qiuchi was about to run towards her, but unexpectedly, a woman ran over behind her, jumped in front of her, and ran towards Qin Zhihui. Looking at her back, she was her second concubine, Song Qing.

Qin Zhihui took Song Qing's hand, and the two of them smiled sweetly at Yang Qiuchi, and then slowly flew towards the clouds.

Yang Qiuchi shouted loudly: "Zhihui! Qingqing!"

At this time, I felt that the sky and the earth were shaking, and my body was as if it was in the rapids of the river. Yang Qiuchi was in a hurry and flew up and grabbed Song Qing behind him. Song Qing tried hard to break free. Yang Qiuchi hugged Song Qing in his arms, hugged her tightly and said, "Qingqing, don't leave, don't leave me! Qingqing."

Suddenly, his forehead hurt and someone bounced his finger. Yang Qiuchi called out and finally woke up. He really hugged Wangyu Wenxiang's body in his arms. He seemed to wake up like a dream. He thought it was Song Qing, so he didn't have time to think about how Song Qing suddenly appeared in his arms. He hugged her tightly and shouted anxiously: "Qingqing, don't leave me!"

Thud~! Another snap of his forehead, Yang Qiuchi roared, and then he woke up completely. He let go of his hand, the girl in his arms struggled to sit up, and said angrily: "You're so crazy!"

The fire in the room had been burned, and only some red charcoal was left. With the shimmer of the charcoal, Yang Qiuchi saw clearly that the one he hugged just now was not Song Qing, but Song Yuner.

Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Yun'er in a daze, wondering why he ran into his arms.

Song Yuner was a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "I saw that you kicked the quilt away, so I came over to cover you with a quilt. I didn't expect you to be talking in your sleep and keep calling the clay doll. If you want to call her, just applaud. Why are you hugging me?"

Yang Qiuchi smiled awkwardly. But he thought to himself, you have martial arts skills, not to mention that I am in my sleep, even when I am awake, I really want to hug you, if you don’t want to. Even if I have two more hands, I can’t hug you. I know that this girl is good to me, but I can’t pierce this layer of window paper to avoid embarrassment from everyone.

Yang Qiuchi was about to speak when he was stunned. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. He listened with his ears for a while and felt strange. Apart from the snoring of Hu Jiang and his guards, there was no sound of a dog barking outside.

Something was wrong. In the village of Beishao Village where they lived, when they just arrived at Beishao Village the night before yesterday, the dogs in the village were barking in a bunch. Before they went to bed, they heard the barking of dogs from time to time. Why is there no sound now?

Seeing that his voice was solemn, Song Yun'er was about to ask him, but Yang Qiuchi raised his index finger and blocked Song Yun'er's pouting mouth, indicating that she should not speak. Song Yun'er blushed, slapped his fingers open, pricked her ears and listened quietly, but found nothing.

Yang Qiuchi got up, walked quickly to the window, gently opened a gap in the window, and listened for a while, but there was still no barking at the dog. Instead, he heard a vague sound of hula. Looking around, he saw a black shadow slowly moving in the sky in the misty moonlight.

Song Yun'er also came to Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi pointed to the dark shadow in the moonlight in the distance and asked, "Yun'er, you have good eyesight, can you see clearly what that is?"

Song Yuner looked at it intently: "It seems like a group of birds."

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, his face changed and he screamed in surprise: "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Song Yuner asked in surprise.

"It is very likely that a strong enemy will attack!"

"Ah~!" Song Yuner screamed, "Where is it?"

"No dog in the village has barked, and it is likely that it has been killed by the outpost of the enemy invading the ground. This is to prevent us from being alert when the large army enters. The birds in the sky must be alarmed when the large group of people pass by. That direction is the official road where we came from Chuzhou to enter the village!"

"Can it be the pedestrians coming from Chuzhou traveling in a row?"

"No, it's almost 4th day now. If you set out here before Chuzhou Pass, you'll have arrived a long time ago and you won't be able to delay this time."

"Can it be the officers and soldiers patrol?"

"You're so funny?" Yang Qiuchi finally couldn't help but make a modern word, "The Jingnan Campaign has been gone for many years, and there is no war. Why are the officers and soldiers patrolling for nothing?"

Although Song Yuner couldn't understand what "Xiu Dou" meant, she also knew that Yang Qiuchi was laughing at him, with a pretty face and gently slapped him.

Yang Qiuchi is not in the mood to flirt with her now, and whispers: "Notify others and leave here immediately."

Song Yuner smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? The soldiers come to block..."

"I can't stop it! The enemy is prepared and determined to win. I'm afraid that it's not something that more than twenty of us can handle. If you don't talk about anything else, just looking at the birds, you will know that there must be more people coming than us."

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Nangong Xiong flashed in and whispered: "Young Master! Something is wrong, it seems there is an enemy!"

Song Yuner asked in surprise: "What did you find, too?"

"Neither sentry to change sentry nor the previous sentry came back!"

Ah~! Song Yuner screamed in surprise.

Yang Qiuchi said: "There must be a strong enemy attack! It should be coming from the south of Chuzhou. Wake up Lord Hu, lead the horse, and retreat immediately!"

Nangong Xiong was born in martial arts before, and Yang Qiuchi's remaining thirteen Jinyiwei were well-trained. He received the order and was not panicked. He immediately left the yard for alert. The detectives were quite calm and rushed to the yard to go out to the yard.

After Hu Jiang was woken up, he still couldn't understand what was going on and was about to ask. At this moment, he heard a noise outside the yard.

"Who?" said Yang Qiuchi's guard in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the intersecting weapons came, and then there was a scream.

An escort ran in and reported to Yang Qiuchi: "Young master, there are two masked men lurking outside. After we discovered it, we attacked us and we have already killed them."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Qiuchi's expression became even more serious: "No, these two people are probably the enemy vanguard who sneaked into the village in advance to look for our situation. The enemy's troop will arrive in a blink of an eye. Retreat quickly!"

Hu Jiang was so scared that his face changed, and he asked in surprise: "Young Master Yang, what should I do?"

The retreat route to the south has been controlled by the enemy. It is impossible to escape back to Chuzhou. There are steep peaks on both sides of the east and west, so you can only escape north. Yang Qiuchi ordered to get on his horse and retreat north along the official road.

At this time, the horses were ready. Yang Qiuchi ordered the constable to help Hu Jiang on the horse, and everyone also got on the horse.

Nangong Xiong and several guards led the way in front, and Song Yuner followed Yang Qiuchi closely. The constables protected Hu Jiang and escorted Zhao Banxian. The remaining guards broke the rear, and the group quickly whipped and retreated to the north.

Apart from the two masked enemies who were killed, they did not encounter any enemies on the road. Obviously, the enemy had not had time to surround him, and Yang Qiuchi and others were able to detect the whereabouts. Yang Qiuchi and others retreated out of the enemy's encirclement in time.

However, they soon heard the roar of horse hooves coming from behind, and the enemy was already chasing them. Listening to the sound, there were more than a hundred enemies. The horse hooves roaring, which was particularly shocked in the quiet night.

After running more than ten miles, the chasing soldiers behind him became more and more anxious, and they were getting closer and closer. Song Yuner asked Yang Qiuchi nervously while running: "Brother, you go first, I'll resist them."

"Nothing!" Yang Qiuchi shouted, "How come you block so many of them alone?"

"What should I do? Running without a goal like this will sooner or later you will be caught up! Otherwise, let's run away and I will protect you into the mountains and forests!"

"Don't worry, I have my own way!" Yang Qiuchi said with certainty.

Yang Qiuchi thought of a solution in his mind, but he didn't know if this method was useful, but now it is necessary to stabilize the morale of the army.

After running a few miles, the mountains on both sides became more and more steep. Yang Qiuchi ordered to stop moving forward, then tied his horse and observed the surrounding terrain.

Yang Qiuchi ordered the two constables to protect Hu Jiang and escorted Zhao Banxian to continue moving forward. The rest of the people dismounted. The two constables pulled the horses and Hu Jiang and others to continue moving forward. After running five miles, they hid in the forest and waited for them. The remaining Jinyi Guards and the Constables climbed up the cliffs on both sides respectively.

Song Yuner asked, "Brother, this is a good idea. If we sneak into the mountains and forests, they will not be able to find it."

"No!" Yang Qiuchi said, "Everyone check it on the cliff to see if there are any wooden rocks!"

It turned out that when Yang Qiuchi found a powerful enemy attack, he thought of a strategy to retreat. According to what Mili said, this Beishao Village was the main throat road leading to Chuzhou, the north gate of the capital during the Jingnan Campaign. The mountains on both sides were so steep that such terrain would definitely be arranged in ancient times to attack the enemy and even cut off the roads when necessary. But I don’t know if these devices are still there after so many years.

However, at this point, there is only one bet.

After hearing what Yang Qiuchi said, Nangong Xiong was originally a martial artist and knew the principles of using troops. Seeing the mountains on both sides, it was a great place to set up ambush. He was probably arranged with rolling wood and rocks back then, and shouted in surprise: "Yes! The young master is right." With a wave of his hand, everyone climbed up the cliffs on both sides.

Nangong Xiong and Song Yuner protected Yang Qiuchi in close proximity and led their men to climb up the cliff. Sure enough, the wooden and rocks that were stacked up like hills that were arranged to set up defenses were still there, and everyone was extremely excited.

It turned out that when King Yan Zhu Di attacked Yingtian Prefecture, he avoided the dangerously unfavorable terrain around Beishao Village and detoured to attack Yingtian Prefecture, so the wooden rocks in Beishao Village were not used. It was their luck.

Nangong Xiong was very familiar with the use of this rolling wood-beating stone land and immediately made arrangements.

Just as the arrangement was made, the sound of horse hooves of the pursuers roared into the canyon, and with the shadow of the moonlight, we could already see the dark shadows of the pursuers clearly.

The pursuers could not have thought that Yang Qiuchi and his 20 people would come back and ambush more than 100 of them. Because the sky was dark, they did not find that the mountains on both sides were steep and the enemy might have set up ambush. They did not know that the wooden rocks piled up on both sides of the cliff were still there, and there were people in Yang Qiuchi's guards who knew how to use these devices. By the time they found that the mountains on both sides were too steep and they rashly chased in, and it might have been too late to encounter a stunning encounter.

Seeing that the enemy had already chased into the ambush circle, Nangong Xiong shouted loudly and ordered the rolling wood to beat the stone. Suddenly, the rolling wood and huge stones piled up like hills rolled down.

Rolling wood and huge rocks as thick as foot basins on both sides of the cliff rolled down like a landslide, smashing towards the pursuers on the official road below.

Screams, wails, collisions, horse neighing sounds throughout the valley, and only a hundred pursuers were among the hundreds. Under the attack of these huge trees and big stones like rain, they were in chaos and had no way to escape, with heavy casualties.

In just one cup of tea, the wooden rocks on both sides of the valley were put down by the Jinyi Guards.

Then, Nangong Xiong shouted: "Brothers, kill!" He led the way down the cliff. Song Yun'er protected Yang Qiuchi and guarded the cliff.

The official road was already full of rolling wood and huge rocks. Most of the more than a hundred pursuers had been killed by this overwhelming wooden rock rolling stone. Those who were not dead were seriously injured, and almost none of them were spared.

Nangong Xiong and other Jinyi Guards restrained the pursuers who were seriously injured and fell to the ground and cried bitterly. They gathered together. Less than ten people were still alive, and they were seriously injured. All the rest were smashed into meat sauce by these rolling wooden stones.

At this time, it was already dawn. After searching the battlefield to confirm safety, Nangong Xiong shouted Yang Qiuchi and the others to come down.

After interrogating the surviving pursuers, they learned that these people were indeed the rest of Jianwen, and the remnants of the beloved concubine who kidnapped Ming Chengzu's last ambush and kidnapped Ming Chengzu's beloved concubine.

Yang Qiuchi repeatedly solved the case of Jianwen's reign, and Yang Qiuchi discovered the spy again, and eventually became Yang Qiuchi's concubine. Jianwen's reign was furious and finally made up his mind to pull out the thorn in the flesh.

They sent people to follow Yang Qiuchi to Beishao Village and wait for the opportunity. After finding that Yang Qiuchi and his friends were tired and sleeping for several days, Feige sent a letter to mobilize more than 100 people in all the remaining troops to attack. Unexpectedly, more than 20 people in Yang Qiuchi used the rolling wood and rock to counter-encirclement and suppression, and wiped out the remaining troops in one fell swoop.

Although Nangong Xiong knew that Yang Qiuchi was the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei and was very awe of Yang Qiuchi, he still couldn't admire him. However, today's battle completely changed Nangong Xiong and his friends' impression of Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi was extremely alert and discovered signs of the enemy's attack in advance. When the enemy, which was several times more than his, was calm and calm. Before the enemy's encirclement was closed, he not only led them out of the encirclement, but also immediately thought of ways to retreat to the enemy and succeeded in one fell swoop.

Now Nangong Xiong knew why Yang Qiuchi was able to become a senior official such as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei at a young age.

Yang Qiuchi assigned two guards to call Hu Jiang and others back. After cleaning the battlefield, it was already dawn.
