I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Wind Gully Valley is only 30 li or so away from the county seat. For such a distance, if you drive at full speed from Rouyuan County, you can reach the Valley of Winds in less than half a day.

Du Qi entire group deliberately slowed down the speed of the journey, which took longer. However, for Zhou Ziqing, who was in ambush in the Valley of the Wind, he had enough patience. Regardless of Du Qi’s speed, as long as Du Qi comes in the direction of the valley, there is no problem.

Zhou Ziqing and a group of more than a thousand people have been waiting quietly on the mountains on both sides of the Wind Valley.

On the hillside, the sun is basking.

The hot sun is very uncomfortable. This kind of hot weather, if you are in the shade of the trees, it would be okay, it won’t feel so hot. But the topography of Wind Valley is different, the rocks on both sides have been weathered, and there are no trees and jungles.

So basking is very uncomfortable.

Even so, Zhou Ziqing entire group is still waiting.

At the waiting position of Zhou Ziqing, the soldiers around were already sweating. Big beads of sweat leaked from his forehead and then slipped off his face. Even layers of skin have fallen off the faces of many soldiers. Because these few days have been lurking in the Valley of Wind and Gully, the environment is so bad that it looks like this.

“Report!”

At this moment, a soldier ran quickly.

The soldier came to Zhou Ziqing’s side and reported: “General, there is the latest news. Du Qi entire group is less than ten miles away from the Valley of the Storms. They are about to reach the Valley of the Storms. The opportunity we have been waiting for is here.”

“Good, good, good!”

Zhou Ziqing’s face was full of excitement.

If you can kill Du Qi, or capture Du Qi alive, Zhou Ziqing will become famous all over the world. For Great Tang, he also made a great contribution. Such a merit is enough for him to advance several levels in a row.

Zhou Ziqing instructed: “The order goes on, everyone is on guard. Once Du Qi’s team arrives, they will attack directly. This time, we will take advantage of our strength to quickly take Du Qi.”

“Yes!”

The messenger immediately arranged.

The rest of the soldiers who came with Zhou Ziqing were also excited. Among the 1,000 soldiers, a large number of them have experienced a battle with Du Qi. Many people have seen Du Qi’s power and hated Du Qi even more. Now they have a chance for revenge, so many people look forward to it.

The time went by a little bit, but the sun gradually turned west because it was past the afternoon. Fortunately, the hotness of the sun at this time, there is no longer to expose people at noon, one by one Tang Army soldiers slightly relaxed.

“General Zhou, people are coming.”

As Zhou Ziqing was waiting intently, suddenly a soldier whispered to remind him.

Zhou Ziqing said: “I know.”

His gaze has fallen on the official road under the valley of the wind. I saw more than a hundred cavalry guards, surrounded and protected the Carriage where Du Qi was located, and the entire group moved forward slowly. However, there is another Carriage behind Du Qi’s Carriage. Zhou Ziqing thinks that it was taken by Shangguan Yi and the others, and that this is reasonable.

Roll! Wheels!

Carriage continues to move forward, slowly moving forward.

When this team just reached the bottom of the mountain, less than thirty steps away from Zhou Ziqing’s location, Zhou Ziqing suddenly stood up and shouted, “Bowman, let go!”

He gave an order, and suddenly there were crossbowmen shooting arrows from the hillside. At the same time, two large stone balls rolled down, each of which was more than one foot in diameter. One left and one right rolled down from the mountain and moved towards the team where Du Qi was.

The first crossbow arrow was shot. Fortunately, the Royal Guards soldiers under Du Qi had been prepared. They took out their shields directly from their horses to keep them in front of them, and only heard the clinking sound, and a feather arrow fell. However, a few soldiers fell to the ground after being shot by crossbow arrows and died on the spot.

Fortunately, the soldiers under Muller’s command are well-trained and have long been given orders. Now that they are attacked, they rush forward and get rid of the offensive arrows. There was a stone ball rolling down immediately, but the counter had already ran away, so the stone ball falling was at best with great momentum, but it did not cause any casualties.

The entire group accelerated and rushed forward, and the horse also pulled the Carriage to run forward, leaving the range of the crossbow arrow in a short time. Although there were casualties in this process, they left the shooting range of the crossbow arrows anyway. Even if there are still crossbow arrows, they are no longer useful.

“Kill!”

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ziqing immediately ordered an attack.

With an order, a horn sounded on the mountain, and all the ambushes on both sides broke out. Zhou Ziqing brought people to ambush this time. There were a thousand people, each of whom was an elite on the battlefield, and they were extremely powerful. After all, Hou Junji also wanted to succeed in the first battle, so he sent the most powerful soldiers.

One soldier, dare to fight and kill.

One soldier, the battle strength is strong.

Everyone rushed out, and within a short period of time they had already intervened in the battlefield, rushing towards the Royal Guards soldiers under Du Qi’s command. At this time, Mulledo ordered to stop the evacuation, because there were no crossbow arrows to shoot, he was no longer afraid. Originally, Mulledo led more than a hundred Royal Guards. In the previous wave of crossbow arrows, more than ten people were damaged. Now there are more than 80 people left.

Even so, the battle strength of a group of people is not weak.

Moledo’s people stopped evacuation, and then they stood in place to resist.

In this slaughter, Mulledo got the order to delay time and wait for the arrival of the ambush. So all of them gathered around Carriage, pretending to be defensive.

After a while, Zhou Ziqing entire group has come up stupidly.

One side is attacking, and the other side is defending.

Zhou Ziqing’s offense was extremely ferocious. The defensive side also guarded not one drop of water can leak out, and did not lose the wind at all.

A little bit of time passed. When the time that Mulledo estimated came up, he no longer stayed around Carriage, but fully defended and delayed to ensure that his soldiers could stock.

Time continues to flow, and gradually there is space around Carriage. This situation fell in the eyes of Zhou Ziqing. He suddenly became excited and shouted: “Chong, charge me around Carriage, first take Du Qi.”

The soldiers under his command quickly gathered in the past. .

One by one moved towards Carriage, but when the first person smashed towards Carriage, he slashed on Carriage and cut through Carriage, only to find that the Carriage was empty, and I was stunned, because There is no silhouette of Du Qi.

“There is no Du Qi!”

“Du Qi is not in Carriage. This is a cover. We are counted, we are counted.”

A man rushed to Carriage shouted.

The news spread out quickly and immediately reached Zhou Ziqing’s ears. Zhou Ziqing’s heart sighed. They acted extremely secretly, and after entering Rouyuan County, they were all scattered, and finally chose to ambush in the Valley of the Winds.

No one has reported.

Should not be discovered.

At the moment they did not meet Du Qi. Obviously, Du Qi had known the news a long time ago, and Du Qi laid an ambush early, so that they are now being plotted against.

“Withdraw, we will withdraw immediately!”

Zhou Ziqing is not an indecisive person, so he immediately gave the order to withdraw.
