Chapter 193 Ambush
A group of people waited day and night, not daring to have any rest.It can be said that they have almost squeezed the limit of the horse.

Finally, in the early morning of the third day, we arrived at the Yellow River Ferry where Huai County is located.

After inquiring, there is a bridge across the Yellow River, which is the only way to Luoyang.

According to the intelligence agency, more than 300 people who escorted Lu Zhi would pass by here.

That is to say, if Lu Zhi is to be rescued, these 300 people must be defeated, or he must be rescued in other ways.

At this time, it was just dawn, Zhang Yi directly chose to ambush.

Just wait for these 300 people to show up, and they will be caught off guard.

Doing this is better than doing it by force. It can save people and reduce the loss of your own soldiers.

You know, every time you train a soldier of the Dragon Legion, you have to spend a lot of effort.

If it can be reduced, then reduce the loss.

"Zhao Zilong, you take 50 people to the left. I will take the other 50 people to the right. Wait for my orders then."

"As ordered!"

After Zhao Zilong finished speaking, he left with 50 people, and Zhang Yi did the same.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the hearts of those 100 people were hanging.

They didn't dare to slack off at all, their eyes were fixed on the front, and if there was any trouble.They tend to clenched their knives and guns tightly.

Fortunately, tall reeds grew around them, which perfectly blocked their figures, otherwise there would be more than 100 people.Just riding a horse, that height is definitely easy to find.

After waiting for another hour or two, the sky gradually brightened.

But still did not see the appearance of the army of the imperial court.

He thought to himself, it seems that I think highly of them.

These people often slow down their work, not to mention rushing in the early morning, it is considered good to get up and rush back to Luoyang before noon.

But just because they don't show up, you can't relax in any way.

This task is bound to be completed, there can be no mistakes, this is a great opportunity.After that, once they crossed the river, it would be difficult.

Out of this trip, the 100 people he brought were equipped with three things as standard: shields, spears, and bows and arrows.

These three things he brought were deliberate.

Bows and arrows can contain the enemy very well at a long distance, 100 people with 100 bows and arrows, the first wave of bows and arrows can leave many people behind.Only two waves of attacks are needed, and the enemy force may be greatly reduced.

However, due to the cavalry, the spears have a relatively short range of melee attacks.Using spears can make up for their lack of attack range.

As for the shield, it is there to defend against attacks from the enemy's bow and arrow forces, as well as some melee attacks.

That is both offensive and defensive.

As for the horses mounted by the cavalry, they can quickly change formation and catch the enemy by surprise in a short period of time. To sum up, it can be said bluntly that if these 100 cavalry are used well, they can even match the 500 people, maybe more than [-] people in total, depending on the enemy's military strength.

What should come will still come.

Finally he waited for more than half an hour.

An army dressed in Han army uniforms is slowly approaching.

Armies visible in line of sight.

Everything is consistent with what the intelligence said, there are about 300 people.

Headed by a brightly dressed general.

And in the rear are several war horses dragging a prison wagon. Needless to say, Lu Zhi must be in the prison wagon.

Zhang Yi had already made a plan before, and after waiting for Zhang Yi's order, he launched a fierce attack on the enemy.

At the same time, he also instructed that all bows and arrows should not hurt Lu Zhi's place.

You must know that it was Lu Zhi who rescued him this time. If Lu Zhi was injured, then this trip would probably be in vain.

When the enemy army got closer and closer, everyone could see their faces clearly.

But Zhang Yi still didn't order.

I'm afraid no one can be so calm as Zhang Yi.

He is like a hunter, patiently waiting for the appearance of his prey.

I can see that there are pioneer troops who have already crossed the ferry of the Yellow River.

They are about to cross the bridge.

But Zhang Yi was still unmoved, and the soldiers of the Dragon Legion were in a hurry.

At the same time, so is Zhao Zilong.They feel that this time should be the best time.If the enemy is intercepted, there will be chaos.

But everyone didn't know that Zhang Yi had to wait until the prison car that sent Lu Zhi reached a certain position.

When the prison car was about to set foot on the bridge, there happened to be a hurdle there that made the enemy get stuck.

He waved the ancient knife in his hand, which meant to attack.

The soldiers hiding in the dark were already ready.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zilong's voice was ushered in.

"Draw the bow and release the arrow."

At the same time, Zhang Yi is also directing many soldiers to draw their bows to the full.

100 bows and arrows were shot in that instant.

The target is the enemy troops who have already set foot on the bridge.

The attack at this time is to attack the rear part of the enemy's army.

These soldiers have put all their defenses on their chests, but as for their backs, they have exposed a lot of flaws.

Bows and arrows flew by, and some of them penetrated their necks and backs.

Some even inserted the horses in the crotch of enemy soldiers.

All of a sudden, the enemy howled everywhere.

The war horse was directly disturbed.

Started a rampage, directly disrupting the formation of the 300-man army.

At this time, it was not over yet, and the second wave of bows and arrows had already been shot.

The general who led the enemy soldiers hadn't even reacted yet.

The bow and arrow took away dozens of people.

Only then did they fully wake up.

"There is an enemy attack! Set up the formation immediately!"

The army with less than 200 people left immediately formed a formation, which was a defensive formation.

Many of these people have been on the battlefield.

Therefore, it is possible to react and form a formation in such a short time.

But taking advantage of the gap in their formation, the third wave of bows and arrows has already arrived.

However, the bow and arrow shooting did not take away too many people.

Instead, the bow and arrow were bounced back by the enemy's shield, so it was impossible to use the bow and arrow to attack again.

So Zhao Zilong and Zhang Yi shouted at the same time: "Set up your shield and prepare to attack."

The sound of horseshoes sounded everywhere, and the 100 people were divided into two groups, gradually approaching the enemy.

At the same time, the enemy camp has realized that the attack is serious.

"Shoot them!"

Also commanding the bows and arrows fired by his army of less than 200 men.

Most of these bows and arrows were hit by the shields of the soldiers of the Dragon Legion and were ejected from a distance.

The one who was most surprised at this time was Lu Zhi who was in the prison car.

The incident happened suddenly just now, and the general did not forget to protect Lu Zhi's safety. From this point of view, it can be said that this person is also doing his duty.

In other words, you must know that there is no room for error in this escort mission. If Lu Zhi makes any mistakes, even if he is a sinner, the general will have nothing to do when he goes back.

Lu Zhi in the prison car looked at the approaching army with doubts in his eyes. He must be wondering where this army came from?Why is the Yellow River ferry in Huai County so and so?
