subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 66 Perfect Ambush

Knowing that time was running out, Zhu Wenwen, Yang Xingmi and others hurriedly arranged for an ambush.

After arranging everything, hundreds of people stayed at their posts and waited for Gao Pian, the big fish, to take the bait.

Unexpectedly, the wait lasted for two hours. Seeing that the sun had already slanted to the west, there was still no movement on the vast river, only the ripples on the river surface were blown by the breeze.

Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, Zhu Wen noticed that the spies on the hill ahead had waved the signal flag agreed in advance three times in a row.Zhu Wen's spirit was shaken, and he said to Xu Huaiyu beside him: "Gao Pian's fleet has arrived, notify the people at each ambush location, everything is going according to plan!"

Xu Huaiyu took orders and left.

Zhu Wen was a little nervous. Although Zhu Wen's understanding of Gao Pian was only a little bit from the sporadic records in the history books of later generations, it didn't mean that he would despise Gao Pian.

On the contrary, Gao Pian was born in the general family, Wentao Wulue, Pingdangxiang, Zhennan'an, and Yin Nanzhao, and successively served as Jiedu envoys in important towns such as Tianping, Xichuan, Jiannan, Jingnan, Zhenhai, and Huainan.From these aspects, no matter how you look at Gao Pian, he is definitely not an idle person.

He was a soldier and horse all his life, he would win every battle, and the legend that he was never defeated in his life made Gao Pian almost the last trump card of the precarious Tang Dynasty.If Gao Pian was ambushed and killed so easily, how could he survive till now?Zhu Wen thought a little discouraged.

But at this time, the arrow was already on the string, and Gao Pian's fleet would arrive soon, so Zhu Wen could not have other ideas.Zhu Wen shook his head habitually, some things he didn't want to think about, but they came to his mind inadvertently from time to time, Zhu Wen shook his head violently every time to shake off those thoughts.It worked out pretty well for him.

The signal flag on the hill ahead waved four times again, and the two dilapidated fishing boats that had been prepared for a long time were slowly going up the river. There were two people on each fishing boat, all dressed as fishermen.

There was an old man and a young man on one of the boats, the old man was hugging his body, his movements were slow, his hands were still trembling slightly, as if he would be blown into the river by the wind at any moment.But even so, the old man still seemed much taller than the young man next to him, making one have to imagine that he must have been extremely tall when he was young.

The old man's face was deeply wrinkled, but he seemed a little numb when he looked closely at it, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Little mouse, it's the first time you come out fishing with me today, you must cheer me up a little bit." , don’t be nervous, everything is up to me.”

The young man smiled and said: "I see, don't worry, old man, maybe I will catch the biggest fish in a while." I saw him skillfully drawing oars with both hands, not at all like the first fish. He looked like a fisherman who had grown up in the river since he was a child.

The old man still looked old-fashioned, and said tremblingly: "Then I can rest assured." He seemed to glance at the place where Zhu Wen was hiding inadvertently, his eyes that were originally cloudy and lifeless were shining brightly, and his trembling left hand slowed down. Lifting it up slowly, he made an ok gesture.

Seeing this scene, especially seeing his weird ok gesture, Zhu Wen couldn't help but want to laugh.Think about it, everyone, an old man in ancient clothes who is over the age of seventy years makes a strange ok gesture, how awkward and funny you look.

The old man was played by Yang Xingmi, and the ok gesture was of course agreed upon by Zhu Wen with him.On the same boat with Yang Xingmi is Huang Siye's son Huang Hao, who is only 17 years old and is considered an outstanding figure among the young generation.

On the other fishing boat were Bi Shiduo and Huo Cun, Huang Kui's first disciple. Bi Shiduo himself had excellent martial arts skills, and he was born in a fisherman's family in the south of the Yangtze River, so his underwater kung fu was even better.

That Huo Cun was originally from Mingzhou, Hebei. He was poor when he was young, and he joined the Salt Gang since he was a child. Huang Kui saw that he was good at practicing martial arts, and he was honest and reliable, so he took him in as his first apprentice.

Seeing the two fishing boats rowing into the river, Zhu Wen's heart jumped wildly. These two small fishing boats will be the key to this ambush, which is why Yang Xingmi and Huang Chao's general Bi Shiduo wanted to personally attack s reason.

Originally, Huang Kui and Huang Siye were also going to board the boat, but considering that Huang Siye and Huang Chao were [-]% similar in appearance, and both of them were famous figures in the world for many years, I was afraid that if they were recognized by others, it would be a waste of success?

Huang Hao and Huo Cun got the true biography of Huang Siye and Huang Kui respectively, they can be regarded as two masters, Yang Xingmi is also familiar with them, and he intends to let them practice and experience, so let them partner with himself and Bi Shiduo respectively.This arrangement is also afraid that if the two of them are in any danger, they and Bi Shiduo will also be able to rescue each other.

The sparkling river water is particularly dazzling under the setting sun, and the fiery red waves are like dancing flames, which seem to turn everything around into ashes.

The long-awaited moment has finally arrived, and you can see the banners on the tall buildings from a distance. There are three buildings in total, and the middle one is as high as ten feet. On the tall mast, A large banner of "Zhenhai Jiedushi Gao" is fluttering in the wind, as if to show people the lofty status of his master.

Zhu Wen looked at the building boat turning around on the river from a distance, and was extremely shocked. The huge shape of the building boat filled him with shock.The several-storey warship has a deep draft, and dozens of sailors are paddling hard on both sides. There are even people riding horses to patrol back and forth, which shows the size of the large ship.

The superstructure of the building boat was actually built similar to a city tower, and the hull wrapped in raw cowhide looked extraordinarily hard.There are arrow windows and spear holes all over the ship tower, which can be used for long-range attacks and melee combat.What's even more frightening is that the ship was equipped with trebuchets and powerful bed crossbows.

Zhu Wen gasped, he still underestimated the fighting power of the ancients.

If there were no "Thunderbolt" brought by Zhu Wen, I am afraid that if he and the hundreds of troops brought by Yang Xingmi come out to ambush, it will undoubtedly hit a stone with an egg.On this tall building ship, I am afraid that one ship can carry more than a thousand people. My God, in this way, Gao Pian brought three to four thousand people!Zhu Wen muttered secretly in his heart.

Yang Xingmi and Bi Shiduo were also beating drums in their hearts. Although they had heard Zhu Wen talk about the power of the "Thunderbolt", after all, they had never seen it with their own eyes. Seeing such a huge building boat at this time, their self-confidence could not help but be shaken.

But at this time, they can't allow them to think too much, everything can only go according to plan.

The three building boats went down the current at a fast speed.There were two soldiers on the bow who seemed to be talking, and suddenly saw two dilapidated fishing boats in the middle of the river, and hurriedly shouted at the fishing boats from a distance: "Get out of the way, you are impatient! Get out of here open."

Yang Xingmi, disguised as an old fisherman, looked panic-stricken, as if terrified, and lay down on the fishing boat all of a sudden.The boy named Huang Hao also seemed to be in a hurry, but he seemed to be inexperienced. After working for a long time, the small fishing boat didn't row very far.

Bi Shiduo and Huo Cun also pretended to be panicked, but the boat moved side by side with Yang Xingmi's boat, with a distance of five or six feet between them.That large building boat couldn't get through at all. If it collided with it, the two fishing boats would definitely be destroyed.

The two soldiers at the bow yelled for a while, seeing the fishermen on the small boat in a hurry but unable to row the boat, they were also worried for them.When they were about to collide, the two soldiers closed their eyes not wanting to see the tragic scene...
