Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 61 Ambush
After the Tartars galloped away and descended the high slope, Lin Yi and Zhang Hua came out and led the Tartars' four horses into the forest.

Zhang Hua, He Tao, Er Hu, Wang Qi and others were left on guard at the edge of the forest, while Lin Yi, Zu Keyong, Wang Jian and others began to discuss in the forest.

Zu Keyong scolded: "You son of a bitch, [-] Tartars are going to ambush Governor Lu here? In other words, they have already got the news that Master Lu is going to pass here?"

Ji Dong nodded, "It must be so, otherwise these Tartars wouldn't be so motivating."

Wang Jiandao: "Since this is the case, let's immediately send someone to fly to Yuyang to report a letter to the governor, lest they be ambushed by the Tartars."

"That's what I mean." Lin Yi said, looking at Zu Keyong, "Brother Zu, this matter is none other than you. You are a guerrilla general of the imperial court. You are well-informed and have more experience than us. Lu It's easy for adults to believe you. You ride a fast horse, take two brothers, go around from the back of this forest, and be sure to stop Lord Lu on the way."

Zu Keyong cupped his hands and said: "My lord, don't worry, I will leave this matter to you."

Lin Yi smiled slyly, "Brother, I see that you have been in the officialdom for a long time, and you have become a veteran in the officialdom. Do you really treat the younger brother as an adult?"

Zu Keyong said in a serious manner: "Public is public and private. I am no longer a guerrilla general, but you are the official commander-in-chief of the army. You have also acted as the chief general of the city. To receive your orders, of course you have to be called an adult."

Wang Jian also said: "That's right, there is no joke in the army, and the level of etiquette cannot be neglected. Brother Lin has long been our adult, so don't be too modest."

"Okay, it's up to you." Lin Yi smiled.

Zu Keyong chose Zhao Tingshou, Zhao Sheng and Yang Fang as followers. These three men were all from the Ningyuan Army, and they were all once Zu Keyong's subordinates.

Zu Keyong was still a little worried, "My lord, what are you going to do next?"

"Brother Zu, hurry up, don't worry, we will take advantage of the camera."

"Take care of yourself."

Knowing the urgency of the matter, Zu Keyong didn't dare to delay, and left with the three of them.

More than 300 people, if they all retreat, the target is huge in broad daylight, and they are so close to the Tartars that they are easy to be spotted by Tartar spies.

So Lin Yi ordered these people to stay in the forest. He, Xiaoying, Zhang Hua, and Erhu changed into the clothes of the four Tartars. According to their body shapes, they looked similar. From a distance, the four of them It is Tartar.

Of course, the four of Ji Dong and the others don't need to put on makeup. They just want to fight far away and not close. The four of them are going to sneak out to see how these tartars ambushes, so they know what they are doing, but this is more dangerous.

For the convenience of movement, the four of them rode on Tartar horses, all carried bows, arrow pots, and scimitars on their backs, all the Tartar outfits.

But when he came back, he was afraid that Brother Lin Dong might misunderstand him and spoil the big event.Ji Dong thought very carefully. The four of them all tied a piece of white cloth on their left arms to show their differences.

After Lin Yi and the others left, the 300 people in the forest were temporarily handed over to Wang Jian, and they must be kept hidden.

With this skin, Lin Yi and the others can hide themselves from a distance, even if they are caught in the shadows by someone from the Tartars, the four of them listened to the movement, and took the courage to immediately go to the high hill, The leader of the Tartar scouts, Wen Kedu, and the other five had retreated.

Immediately on the high hill, you can see the dust billowing in the distance. Lin Yi and the others hurried down the high slope, abandoned their horses, covered themselves with the high slope, and lay down on the slope to look into the distance.

The Tartar cavalry troops stopped a few miles away from them, and infantry and luggage came one after another. After more than half an hour, the official road below the slope was lined with Tartar troops, which could not be seen at a glance. to the side.

Then they began to ambush on both sides of the official road, in gullies, wormwood bushes, and small woods.Unable to hide, they began to dig ditches and build soil.

Lin Yi and the others were watching with gusto, when a group of Tartars came towards Gao Gang, Lin Yi and the others hurriedly rolled down the high slope, jumped on their horses, ran for more than two miles, got into the small woods, and covered themselves.

After getting the horse into the woods, Ji Dong and the others hid behind the tree and looked up the high slope.

At this time, a team of Tartars rushed up the high slope, people shouting and neighing. After several leaders of the Tartars pointed and pointed, they soon pulled in a few cannons, and they were going to deploy cannons on the high slope.

More than a dozen Tartars push a cannon. This is the first time Lin Yi has seen a Tartar cannon. From a distance, the barrel looks black, as thick as purlins, with two wheels, and seven or eight Tartars push it on one side. , appearing very bulky.

But Ji Dong knew that despite this, in the era of cold weapons, this is no different from an extremely powerful missile.

The Tartars began to deploy the cannons on the half slope on the side of the high slope, fixed the cannons, and the Tartars began to adjust the front sight and the rear sight.

Some Tartars carried crates here. Ji Dong knew that these should be shells and explosives.

"One, two, three..." Lin Yi quietly counted, and the Tartars brought in a total of 15 cannons.

Lin Yi thought to himself, 3 Tartars set up an ambush here, and there were [-] cannons to cheer them on. The capital that the Tartars spent this time was really too high.How many people will Lu Xiangsheng and the others come, I hope Zu Keyong will see Lu Xiangsheng smoothly and make preparations early, otherwise how many people will be killed or injured in this ambush.

Now Ji Dong and the others didn't dare to move anymore, two miles out of this forest was the artillery position of the Tartars.

This is so close at hand, if the target is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.The only thing they can do now is to wait until it gets dark, and then under the cover of night, they can retreat completely.

But waiting for time is really a torment. Time is a strange thing. The more you wish it to pass faster, the more slowly it will walk, like an old man walking.However, the more you expect it to slow down, and when you can keep it, it will be faster than the thief, and it will pass by in a hurry.

Regardless of Ji Dong, he received special training in his previous life, and now he feels a little uneasy.

After waiting and waiting for an unknown amount of time, the Tartars on the opposite side also regained their calm. The Tartars on the artillery camp, there were hundreds of them, and after loading their ammunition, they all lay there motionless.

Ji Dong looked at the sky. At this time, the sun was just westward, that is, it was just after noon, and there were at least two hours before dark.

Zu Keyong and the others have been gone for two hours, and now they don't know what's going on?

Seeing that the Tartars were all inactive, there was no need for Lin Yi and the others to suffer here, so they sent a few people to watch over here. Lin Yi and Xiaoying went deep into the forest, changed the costumes of the Tartars, and changed their clothes. Put on their original equipment and restore their original appearance.

At this time, Wang Jian handed over dry food and water, and Lin Yi and the others took a few mouthfuls of dry food, took two more mouthfuls from the water bag, and felt much more comfortable in their stomachs.

Xiaoying got some leaves and long grass, and made a bed on the ground. Ji Dong lay on it and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Now he felt more comfortable. He didn't think about anything, and just waited for the dark to retreat safely with his brothers.

With the physical and mental relaxation, Ji Dong felt really tired.Although the tiredness of the pommel horse is not comparable to the special forces training in the previous life, the march of this cold weapon era is completely different from the mechanized march of later generations.

Ji Dong relaxed his mind, his breathing slowed down, and his mind slowly entered a chaotic state. He even squinted.

The depths of the woods are also suitable for taking a nap. The weather in October afternoon is neither too hot nor too cold. Lin Yi and the others feel tired after eating just now. Under such circumstances, it is easy to fall asleep.

Ji Dong didn't know how long he had been asleep. Suddenly, a gunshot woke him up from his dream.

This was the signal cannon of the Tartars. Immediately after the sound, there was an earth-shattering cry of killing outside the forest.

"Come on, kill, don't let Lu Yanwang escape... Capture Lu Xiangsheng alive..."

Lin Yi jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, Xiaoying, Wang Jian and more than 300 people were all alert.

Ji Dong rushed to the edge of the forest at a fast speed, covered himself behind a tree, and looked out.

Since Gao Po blocked it, I couldn't see the situation on the other side of the slope, but when I heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing, it must be that Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses had entered the encirclement of the Tartars. Looking at the sun, it was already waning and fiery red. The sunset glow reddened the western sky, and in the glow, the sky and the earth became a piece of red.

"How could this be? Brother Zu and the others haven't seen Governor Lu?" A thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind.

At this time, on the half slope of Gaogang opposite, a leader of the Tartars shouted: "I'm all aiming, fire the cannon!"

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and made a bold decision: Damn, today is today!

"Pass my order to attack the Tartars' runaway camp, charge me!"

With a shout, Lin Yi flew out on a galloping horse wielding a steel knife. Xiaoying, Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi, and Dongsheng followed closely behind.Behind them, Wang Jian, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and other 300 people rushed out of the forest with shouts, and rushed towards the artillery position of the Tartars on the opposite Gaogang...
