Chapter 807 Ambush and Anti-Ambush

500 guard cavalry are divided into five teams, each of which is 100 people, more than 100 steps apart and begins to accelerate. More than 100 people in the front of them are the vanguard led by Zhao Dapeng. Their task is to open the way forward. If they encounter an interception, they must clean up with strong firepower. Two hundred people in the middle protected the horses of the three prisoners, led by Song Nan himself, while Wang Yong led 100 cavalry to cut off the response to prevent the enemy from attacking from the side.

Such an arrangement shows that Song Nan attaches great importance to the three prisoners and divides two-fifths of his troops to protect them, which is also the most grand treatment these prisoners have enjoyed in their lives.

The main peak of Liangye Mountain is only 140 feet above sea level, which is not a tall mountain, but the mountains are continuous and the vegetation is lush. On the hillsides on both sides of the valley road leading to the north of the mountain, the lush primitive forests are dense and flourishing. In the valley, there is no way to know whether there are bandits hidden in the dense forest of the hillside. Everyone's eyes were black and only rushed. The initial five or six miles of valley was unimpeded, but after a period of downhill, the valley in front of it slowly rose. After rushing uphill, two relatively prominent cliffs appeared in front of them, like two open gates hundreds of steps away.

Song Nan took a breath of cold air, and the terrain was dangerous. If there was an ambush, I'm afraid it would be here. However, there was still no obstacle on the road ahead. According to general experience, if the bandits ambushed, a large number of trees and stones would be blocked on this mountain road, but now nothing was seen.

Zhao Dapeng in front also understood the danger of the terrain. He ordered the charging horse team to stop moving forward and rushed to Song Nan and held his fists: "Your Excellency, the terrain ahead is steep. If there is an ambush, it will definitely cause a lot of losses to our people and horses. Do you rush over or find another way? Please give me some advice."

Song Nan frowned and stared at the two cliffs in front of him. The distance between them was less than 40 steps. The formation of the charging team to the bottom of the cliff would be compressed. If there were bandits ambushed on the cliffs on both sides and a chaotic stone feather arrows would indeed cause great casualties and unable to fight back.

Wang Yong immediately came from the rear to inquire about the situation. Song Nan pointed to the cliff and asked, "Brother Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Yong said, "It's really a little difficult. If you want to rush, you can rush over, unless someone leaves a giant tree to block the way, but if you rush hard, you can't guarantee the safety of adults. Those three prisoners may also die here."

Song Nan nodded and said, "They don't care about the life or death of the crime. They are not here to rescue, but to silence."

Wang Yong nodded and said, "Why don't you take people to touch it from both sides and go around to the cliffs on both sides to see if there are any ambushes."

Song Nan frowned and said, "The solution is feasible, but we are running out of time. The pursuers in the rear are accelerating. It will take a lot of time to solve them by going around the back of the cliff. I'm afraid that I will be caught up by the soldiers and horses behind me, which is a big trouble."

Wang Yong thought for a moment: "Your Excellency, the humble position requests to take people to touch the mountain beams. If there are bandits, they can solve it on the spot. After that, the humble position occupies the cliffs on both sides and ambush the subsequent pursuers, so that adults can get rid of the entanglement of the pursuers. They only need to rush to Yanping Prefecture quickly. Our headquarters of Fujian Jinyiwei Qianhu Institute is located in Yanping Mansion. You can call the brothers of the local brocade guards to receive the escort immediately and arrive safely in the capital all the way.

Song Nan is a little hesitant. It is a good way to leave Wang Yong to set up an ambush and intercept the pursuers, but the problem is that the manpower is really limited, and there will not be too many people left for Wang Yong. In case Wang Yong has three advantages and disadvantages, it is a great loss.

Wang Yong urged, "Your Excellency, don't hesitate. It's about the grand plan of the court and your safety. This is the only way. The humble position is confident that it can stop the pursuers. It is unlikely that the pursuers behind them want to do anything about me. If they attack and the humble position takes their brothers into the dense forest, what can they do?"

Song Nan said, "Well, use your method, but remember not to force yourself. Even if you are the king of the mountain for a few days, don't work hard. There will be important tasks entrusted to you in the future. Our brothers still have a lot of big things to do. You can't be impulsive."

Wang Yong arched his hand and said, "Your excellency should relax and remember your words."

Song Nan immediately ordered to transfer 50 personal guards from the former team and squadron to hand over to Wang Yong's men, and at the same time ordered the guards to hand over most of the grain, water and ammunition to Wang Yong and his guards for food once trapped in the mountains and forests. The brigade retreated hundreds of steps. In an invisible place in front of the hillside, Wang Yong led 200 guards into the dense mountain forest in two ways and detoured from the side to the cliff ahead.

In order to verify whether there was an ambush on the cliff in front of him, and also to attract attention, Song Nan ordered his guards to drive away more than 200 empty horses. In the yellow dust, he could not see whether there was anyone on the war horse. More than 200 horses were beaten and flew to the bottom of the cliff to test the reaction of the bandits.

Sure enough, when the war horse rushed to the bottom of the cliff, countless figures appeared at the top of the cliff, and the boulder fell like wooden rain, with bows and arrows of fire. Suddenly, there was a sad sound of horses. When the smoke and dust dissipated, except for dozens of horses ran out, the remaining 100 horses fell at the mouth of the cliff. In the blood pool, a large number of stones and trees almost blocked the entrance, and the situation was extremely tragic.

Everyone was secretly surprised. If they rushed over without thinking, at least half of the 500 people would be knocked down, and whoever died and lived could only rely on God's will.

Song Nan heard the sound of the fire, which proved that the bandits here were also funded by King Ning. All the information was confirmed, and all the crimes of King Ning had been nailed, which made Song Nan completely breathe. Knowing that this person's plot is a fact, then things are much simpler, and there is no need to cover it up.

The time passed, and there were amazing birds flying above the dense woodland on both sides from time to time. It must be the result of the two teams of brocade guards groping forward in the mountains and forests. Song Nan can imagine the difficulty of trekking in these dense forests. There are thorny shrubs everywhere, no light above and soil, and the direction is difficult to distinguish, and the action is late. Slowness is also reasonable.

However, Song Nan couldn't but be in a hurry. Tiqi in the rear came to report that the pursuers had approached 30 miles away. If they could not solve the problem here by another hour, the pursuers would block themselves on this dead road.

I don't know how long it took. The rear Tiqi reported that the pursuers were ten miles away. Looking at the dust over the mountain road behind the sky and covering the sun, he knew that there were a large number of pursuers and were chasing them with all his strength. Song Nan stamped her feet and rubbed her hands anxiously, and suddenly heard a familiar roar of Mrs. Song on the cliff in front of her. It is said that it is because Mrs. Song's fire is two consecutive blows. Once you hear the continuous 'boom' sound, you can basically conclude that it was your own hands.

After two roars, the cliff suddenly formed a ball. The firepower of the brocade guards equipped with a pair of fire was obviously many times stronger than the bandits ambushed on the cliff. In addition, Wang Yong knew that the time was urgent, and he was desperate to order a fierce attack, paying more than 20 guards. In the case of death, it took a meal to subdue more than 300 bandits on the cliff.

After receiving the signal that Wang Yong ordered people to pass, Song Nan was overjoyed. The pursuers behind had arrived not far away, and the roar of horses' hoofs seemed to be heard in their ears. Song Nan immediately ordered the guards to remove the woods and boulders under the cliff and clean up a passage. Three hundred guards had just passed through the cliff one after another. In the chaotic land, a large number of pursuers appeared from the dust.

Song Nan urged everyone to speed up. In his busy schedule, he looked back at the costumes of the soldiers and horses of the local guard of the Ming Dynasty, and the armor was customized. This also shows that Zhu Chenhao has been able to mobilize the soldiers and horses of some guard stations in Jiangxi to work for him. In a sense, this is the beginning of the rebellion.

The army was led to pursue the soldiers and horses of Yongningwei in Jianchang Prefecture, which was close to Ganzhou Prefecture. He led a team to pursue Ma Rui, the commander of Yongningwei. He was already the dog of King Ning. When he received an order from Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, to gather 2,000 cavalry to block a team north from Jianchang Prefecture and kill everyone, Ma Rui The soldiers and horses were quickly gathered. He is not a fool. When he sent Ma to explore the soldiers and horses of Jinyiwei to suppress the bandits in Sanbo Mountain, Ma Rui's heart was like a mirror. It must be that these Jinyi guards came to Jiangxi to find out some information, so the prince wanted to kill them all by himself. Ma Rui hesitated for a moment, but he soon realized that it was not appropriate to consider these things now. King Ning's business was his own business, and he had to complete it to avoid danger.

When he heard that Song Nan abandoned the road to the north of Jianchang Mansion and turned east to Fujian, Ma Rui immediately caught up with the soldiers and horses. He knew that Liang Yeshan's group of bandits were also the prince's people. Although he disdained to deal with them at all, he was afraid that he would have to help intercept and delay the time of the soldiers and horses this time. . Without him opening his mouth, someone told him that Liang Yeshan was the burial place of the team. He knew that the news had been transmitted to Liang Yeshan, so he chased him day and night.

At this moment, you can already see the backs of the brocade guards running away. The rocks and trees under the cliff in front of them and a large number of horse corpses show that it is here that the brocade guards were blocked by the bandits in Liangye Mountain. It seems that there were many casualties. He didn't even pay attention to the costumes of those corpses dressed as bandits. After falling off the cliff, the fragmented body and the blood everywhere covered the huge firearm trauma on them, otherwise he would have doubted it.

"Chasing me. Let's see where they are going this time. Mary sneered.

The cavalry rushed to the bottom of the cliff like a torrent, and the newly cleared passage could only walk more than ten horses in parallel, but this was enough. However, when a large number of officers and soldiers poured under the cliff, the large stones and huge purlins above fell like raindrops, and suddenly became hell on earth, a large groups The soldiers and horses were smashed on the hard mountain road, and their bones were shattered and their brains burst out, screaming and moaning.

"What the hell, my own people?" Ma Rui looked up and roared at the cliff. In his vision, more than a dozen bandits in ordinary armor were throwing things down.

A gangster stiffened with a stone and seemed to say something, but in an instant he flew down like a big bird. Ma Rui saw clearly that it was a lieutenant in bright armor and kicked him on the buttocks and kicked him off the cliff.

"No, there are ambushes on the cliff." Murray shouted: "Withdraw, retreat, there is an ambush."
