Chapter 620 Ambush
"Damn, what the hell is this?!"

He Lu was shocked by the successive explosions and almost fell off his horse. However, even though he managed to control the frightened horse under his crotch, he looked extremely embarrassed, holding the horse's neck tightly with both hands, allowing the frightened horse to stand up. , turned several times in situ.

After finally raising his head, He Lu stared dumbfounded at the giant ball floating in the air, and cursed bitterly.

But, whatever the hell, these giant balls were burning down his camp and slaughtering his soldiers, and he had to get rid of them.

He Lu's psychological quality is extremely high, he only came back to his senses after being stunned for a moment, waved his whip, and shouted: "Archer, get ready~"

After finishing speaking, he swiped down the whip vigorously, and thousands of archers began to shoot seven or eight giant balls in the air.

Swish, swish, thousands of feathered arrows pierced through the air, forming a sharp rain of arrows and hitting the slowly floating giant ball.

However, they were still a step too slow, the giant ball rose rapidly for some reason, and floated all the way towards Huangshui City with the help of the icy cold wind.

Those feathered arrows fell through the air one after another, and He Lu and his archers could only watch helplessly as a few giant balls flew to the other side.

He Lu and the others don't know why the giant ball suddenly rises, but Cui Youbo, standing on the gate tower, can see it clearly through clairvoyance.

It turned out that when He Lu ordered the archers to shoot, one of the two men sitting in the lower basket of the giant ball held a handle and shook it vigorously to stand up a horizontal board at the lower opening of the giant ball. Another person desperately poured some unknown liquid into a huge copper basin hanging on the lower side of the horizontal board.

The originally lukewarm flames in the copper basin instantly turned into raging flames.

Although Cui Youbo didn't know the reason why they did this, but after their busy work, the giant ball flew up in an instant, flying directly over He Lu's tent along with the wind.

During the flight, the man in the basket was not idle, picked up a bundle of gunpowder bamboo tubes, borrowed fire from the tray to ignite the fuze, and then threw it directly down.

"Boom~~~"

The sound of bombing followed one after another, and the wailing of the Turkic soldiers in the city shook the sky.

The situation on the battlefield was reversed, and the He Lu tribe, which was still in absolute dominance, suffered a heavy blow from the air, losing one-fifth of its soldiers and horses.

However, what troubled He Lu the most was that in the indiscriminate bombing just now, his food and grass were completely burned, and many war horses were also killed.

In this way, even if the reinforcements from the Protectorate's Mansion did not come, his troops would not be able to last for too long, and they could only retreat miserably in the end.

Damn, what the hell is this?
He Lu asked similar questions several times since he came to Huangshui, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find an answer.

Needless to say, he was depressed, but what annoyed him even more was that the spies in Beijing hadn't returned any useful news for half a month.

His mother's Bi Lishu said, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while." I gave you money, things, and people. How much painstaking effort did I spend to "raise" you?Now that you are used, you just repay Ben Khan like this? !

"Ah~~Ah~~"

Bi Lishu, who had been repeatedly 'greeted' by He Lu, was leading a group of hardcover men in black Hu suits and black scarves around their necks, lying bitterly on the ice on the hillside, quietly waiting for the target Appear.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? But you've caught a cold? Do you want to go down to the fire and drink some wine to warm yourself up?"

The little brother A beside Bi Lishu saw the boss sneezing, and asked with concern.

Little brother A is selfish in asking this question. In fact, he also wants to find a place sheltered from the wind and warm himself up by the fire. Damn, they have been lying on the ice for two full hours.

Even if they are martial arts practitioners and they are still wearing thick cotton padded clothes, their bodies can't bear it if they lie in such a place.

The eldest brother is still strict, and no one is allowed to move around. Lying so upright, a row of more than ten people, their eyebrows and beards are covered with ice, and the breath they exhale is cold.

Damn, if they continue to climb down like this, let alone complete the task, they might all be frostbitten and freeze to death.

"Cheep~"

Bi Lishu sniffed hard, sucking back the snot that had almost 'crossed the river', and said in a strong nasal voice, "It's okay, they're coming, we'd better be careful."

When mentioning this task, Bi Lishu couldn't help straightening his face.

Recently, although he passed some information to Khan every few days, but for some reason, Khan didn't get a single reward.

Of course, he came to Tangdu alone not for the Khan's reward, but because he sincerely worshiped the Khan and wanted to do something for the Khan and the great cause of the nation.

But, but, no matter how firm your belief is, you still need to be recognized.

But the current situation is that he is desperately searching for news in Beijing, but Khan has not expressed the slightest. This, this is a bit chilling.

Of course Bi Lishu didn't know that his identity had already been discovered by the Cui family and his wife, and the news that he was asked to 'snoop' was all worthless fake news.

Bi Lishu didn't even know that he was wronged, and He Lu was still angry. Once the information was not accurate, it could be said to be a mistake, but every time there was a problem, that is, Bi Lishu was not dedicated or even unfaithful. up.Fortunately, I still have the Chai family to inform me, otherwise, if I only depended on you, I would have ended up in a crushing defeat long ago.

He Lu is even planning to send a second group of spies to the capital... As for how to deal with Bi Lishu, guess what!
He didn't know anything about these things, but now he only knew one thing, and that was to be a big one, and then perform well in front of Khan.

In order to get the approval of the Khan and his tribe, Bi Lishu almost did his best, and he also said cruel words to his younger brothers that "you will succeed or you will be benevolent".

Even 'death' was on the agenda, why would Bi Lishu care about the wind and cold?
Little Brother A pursed his mouth, exhaled in disappointment, sniffed, and continued to ambush bitterly.

Just when everyone was about to freeze into lumps of ice, Bi Lishu's reddened ears twitched slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and said to the boys around him, "Come on, cheer me up!"

All the younger brothers were shocked when they heard the words: Damn, it's finally here!
Not long after, a group of carriages came slowly on the path at the other end of the hillside. The carriages were all covered with indigo burlap, and each carriage was accompanied by seven or eight armored guards on both sides.

The horse team was moving very slowly, judging by their leisurely posture, they didn't seem to be escorting ordnance supplies, but rather like young ladies from a wealthy family coming out to play.

Younger Brother A felt something was wrong, and hurriedly reminded Bi Lishu: "Boss, the situation is not right. Although they are wearing the armor of the Pingxi army, they really don't look like the people who escorted the firearms. Let's take a look again—— "

Before he finished speaking, Bi Lishu gave him a cold look, and said disdainfully: "What do you know? Tang people are cunning and the best at using tricks. This is definitely their trick. They tried to deceive us and secretly transport the firearms to us." To the northwest."

Younger brother A still felt that the boss's words didn't make sense, but because of the boss' power, he only moved his lips and didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing this, Bi Lishu felt uneasy, and turned his head to look at the other younger brothers. Seeing the expressions of confusion, suspicion, and even resistance on everyone's faces, he knew that his rhetoric just now did not convince everyone.

If everyone can't understand, they can't listen to his dispatch wholeheartedly, and the morale of the army is unstable, how can he win? !
Looking up at the slow-moving carriage team, Bi Lishu counted the time and patiently explained: "A few days ago, we went to the firearms base, the military supervisor, the general supervisor, and the Cui family's warehouse several times to investigate. , although they didn’t get anything, everyone retreated unscathed. This is because everyone is quick and alert—”

When the boss praised him, the faces of the younger brothers softened a lot.

Bi Lishu continued his efforts, saying: "Especially in the general supervisor and military supervisor, everyone performed the best, advancing and retreating, the guards didn't even notice."

Laughter lines appeared on the faces of the younger brothers, yes, the general supervisor and the military supervisor are the official institutions of the Tang Dynasty, and they are heavily guarded, so they can come and go freely?Nothing else, it's their kung fu and ability!

Little brother A is clever, he knows that the boss will have a 'turning point' next.

Sure enough, Bi Lishu changed the subject, "However, in the Cui family's firearms base and warehouse, we were discovered by the guards. Although we escaped safely, we finally attracted the attention of the Cui family. They didn't know our details. But they know that someone is planning on those firearms, so they will be more careful when transporting the firearms to the northwest this time."

This makes sense, little brother A silently nodded, and then echoed: "What the boss said is that they are worried about us making a move, so they sent two teams of people to take the official road with great fanfare, and take the mountain road in secret all the way. Just to confuse us?!"

Seeing that someone finally understood his painstaking efforts, Bi Lishu nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, what Hu Siha said is right, I saw through this point, so I let go of the official and led everyone here Set up an ambush."

Bi Lishu said so. In fact, before he made a choice, he cautiously went to see what the official team had escorted.

Fortunately, he has the status of a member of the Cui family. The Cui family didn't completely trust him, but they didn't treat him as a spy, so they got some news.It is said that the college has developed a new crop, which is drought-resistant and productive. My wife specially ordered people to send it to the northwest. In addition, there are some latest research results, such as leather tents, firearms and the like.

What the boy said was true and false.

But the more he said that, the more suspicious Bi Lishu became.

At that time, the news of He Lu's siege had not yet come, and Bi Lishu didn't know that the situation in Huangshui was critical (He Lu was suspicious of him, how could he tell such a confidential matter).

In addition, he also heard that the college often does some 'research', and when he heard it was food, he just flipped through it hastily, except for some weirdly shaped balls, and some leather 'tents', baskets, what the hell are they? There were several copper basins, but no trace of firearms was found at all.

So Bi Lishu decided that this branch was a suspicious soldier that attracted his attention.

So, he watched helplessly as the brigade left the capital, entered the official road, and marched northwest.

And he continued to inquire about the news of another dispatch, and made preparations to set up an ambush on the mountain road they must pass through...
