I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 312 Absurd
Outside the city, the mountains and forests made a rustling sound driven by the breeze.

Even the strongest horses groaned from exhaustion under the weight of the treasure-laden carriage.

It's cloudy tonight and there's no moonlight.The dark night will be their best cover.

Kong Youde's motorcade walked a long distance in the night. As the city behind him got farther and farther, his suppressed emotions gradually eased.

The hand holding the reins is no longer so tight.

And just when everyone began to relax their vigilance, the horse at the front of the team hit the rope that was stretched straight on the path.

"Humph~"

The horse was unable to scream while biting its bit, and could only keep swinging its raised front hooves.

"What happened?"

"The horse was startled..."

"What's wrong with you? How did you lead the horse!?"

"Wait a minute..." One of the riders interrupted the commotion, "What does it smell like?"

The smell was strange yet familiar, a little pungent.

If he smelled it often, he might be able to recall the source of the smell more quickly. Unfortunately, as a person from the old times, he didn't have access to fireworks when he was a child.

Yes, that's the smell of burning gunpowder.

The trap left by the Xinghe Army in the woods ignited the powder keg.

Naturally, the lead will not stay long, and the time given to them to say a few words is already the limit.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Every soldier of the Xinghe Army is precious.Moreover, the Xinghe Army fought far away from the base area, and now the battle is about to end.Appropriate consumption of some supplies can reduce the burden on the team's actions in advance.

The sound of successive explosions was heard far away in the night.

"What happened!?"

"There's an ambush! Back away!"

"Ah, my foot. My foot was blown off!"

"Someone please help me move this dead horse, I can't move!"

And in the night, the Xinghe Army pursuit team not far away was on standby and launched a charge according to the planned route!
"Hand over Kong Youde to avoid death!"

"Hand over Kong Youde to avoid death!"

Amidst the shouts, the Xinghe Army and Kong Youde's troops who were rushing at the front collided.

This group of Xinghe Army soldiers fighting at close range were dressed in various colors, but they were bandits that they had conquered along the way.Forest warfare is their specialty.

At the same time, as these people are the first batch of reformed recruits, tonight's battle is their opportunity to get rid of the past and start over.

Every general has his own loyal followers, and Kong Youde also has such a group of cronies.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Kong Youde turned around and patted the horse and left.The cronies around him fought tooth and nail to protect him.

The Xinghe Army actually doesn't like fighting in such a forest at night. In such a narrow environment, it is difficult to reflect the results of the Xinghe Army's training.The casualty rate will be greatly increased.

For this reason, in addition to letting the surrendering soldiers who needed to be punished and meritorious service go forward first, the Xinghe Army spent a lot of money to set up traps everywhere in the forest.

Since he was a deserter, someone would always grease his feet when attacked.

In this dark forest, as long as there is no one behind you, you will be found only if you have bad luck.

And generally in this kind of terrain, few people would dare to pursue them without looking back.

That's right!
As a modern person, Huang Yi has a deeper understanding of the horrors of the virgin forest. How can he let everyone take huge risks and waste his good life on a bereaved dog?

The treasures collected by Kong Youde were intercepted and used for military expenses. If Kong Youde could catch them, then forget about it.

These are Huang Yi's original words.What a pity, even if Huang Yizhi is not here.

The Xinghe Army's careful plan still worked.

Every position of the trip rope set up in the forest is carefully planned.Hidden paths, gaps for horse racing, road signs occasionally used by civilians...

If Kong Youde was really running around without any purpose, maybe he wouldn't be tripped up so easily.

Kong Youde, who was in the lead, ran too fast, and his horse was pulled down by the trip wire.

Kong Youde threw a mouthful of mud, and when he got up, he crawled forward on his hands and feet.

His cronies rushed over to protect his master.

"Don't! Disperse! Back away...it's going to explode!" As the master, Kong Youde had a brighter mind, and he knew exactly what was about to happen.

Unfortunately, even if he knew what was going to happen, he no longer had the energy to change his destiny.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the successive explosions, most of his remaining cronies were killed or injured.

This small distance of crawling could not guarantee Kong Youde's safety. He was slightly injured when he was affected by the explosion, and he was stunned by severe tinnitus.

The ringing in his ears continued, and his experiences during this period flashed through his blank mind.

It flashed out that he had not accepted this absurd fate voluntarily.

The days when he became a rebel were flashed back. He seemed innocent when he was pulled into the water, but he still enjoyed the unscrupulous life after throwing away the rules.

But maybe, the absurdity of fate didn't start here.

Did it start when he led his troops on an expedition to support Daling River?First there was the inexplicable hurricane, and then there were the ridiculous encounters along the march.We are both from the Ming Dynasty, but the soldiers who went to fight could not get supplies in their own country.

Did it start after Mao Wenlong died?Yes, maybe something has gone bad since General Mao died.

As for whether it was Daming who changed his mood or his own mood.

Already, no longer important.

"Move quickly! Quick, the fire is burning..."

"Here, there is still a living person here, drag him out!"

"Simple search for loot and evacuate in an orderly manner! Follow the planned route and be sure not to step on any traps set by yourself!"

"Okay...hey, this guy is still here giggling. Did he get blown up by the fire and thunder?"

"This guy looks familiar to me."

"Quick, quick, quick! Put him on the horse and get out!"

The Xinghe Army moved quickly and snatched out the captured supplies before the fire spread.

A detailed plan of action comes in handy, although there will always be unplanned things happening.

For example, at this time, the fire in the forest was getting bigger and bigger.

'Set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison. '

This sentence flashed through Huang Yi's mind, making this modern man in ancient times laugh.

Seeing the coach's smile, Huang Dayong thought he was happy for Kong Youde's arrest.

However, Huang Yi's next words caught him by surprise, "Send someone to ask Liu Yulie how much he plans to spend on Kong Youde to save his dog's life."

Of course, Huang Yi didn't have the slightest fondness for Liu Yulie.In real history, it was his ignorance that caused the fall of Dengzhou City.

But...it is not certain whether the stupid officials of the Ming Dynasty will die or not, whether it is good or bad for Huang Yi.

At this moment, it is more important to rip off some real rewards.
