Chapter 399 Ambush!

The war drum suddenly sounded, and the defenders of Chongcheng rushed out of the barracks one after another, took up their weapons, followed their comrades, and went out of the city to form an array.

Ten miles away, Mu Haoran was a little puzzled when he learned of the strange movement of the enemy soldiers.

The two armies have not fought for more than ten days, why at this moment, the enemy soldiers suddenly have the intention to fight?

He couldn't figure it out, but Mu Haoran didn't dare to delay, so he quickly ordered to go out of the camp and line up.

"Boom boom boom!"

In an instant, the sound of war drums resounded throughout the camp.

An hour later, the formation of the two armies was completed, and they kept approaching with deafening footsteps.

Three miles apart, the two armies stopped.

Seeing the opponent's banners unfurling and drums beating, Mu Haoran frowned slightly, and shouted, "Put out the enemy formation!"

With an order, the flag bearer waved the flag. In the battle formation, the soldiers followed the flag-bearing soldiers and ran. The whole battle formation seemed to come alive, changing rapidly. After a while, Mu Haoran's famous battle formation was formed. , but the enemy.

Seeing this scene, Yu Jun, the city guard of Chongcheng in the distance, felt a little headache. He hated this formation very much.

If this formation wasn't too difficult to crack, he would have defeated Mu Haoran long ago and resolved the danger of Liu Kang.

But fortunately, now there is no need to break the formation, and there is no need to force it, as long as the opponent is restrained and the attention of the opponent is attracted.

Immediately, Yu Jun shouted loudly, "Former soldiers, charge!"

The soldiers of Liukang screamed and rushed towards the enemy's formation. The two armies came into contact and began to fight!

There was a sudden howl of misery, blood spilled, and both sides were red-eyed.

Time passed slowly, the two armies were fighting inextricably, and no one could please, so Yu Jun could only continue to send troops to attack the enemy's position.

At this moment, in the Liukang formation, a group of cavalry, under the cover of their own soldiers, suddenly moved out and rushed towards the distant woods.

The people present were either fighting or paying attention to the fighting, no one noticed the scene of Liu Kang's bow and horse leaving quietly.

After the bow and horse had been away for a long time, it was difficult to be found, Yu Jun saw that the fight was fruitless, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw the troops.

After more than ten days, another round of fighting ended in a draw, and both sides paid a big price.

……

Law City, City Guard Mansion.

Looking at the letter paper, Xun Yucheng, the city guard, expressed joy, and said to the generals, "Chongcheng is guarded by the general, and a letter has been sent to say that he has sent troops to attack the Linzhan granary. !"

"When he destroys the granary, the Qin and Yi armies will be in a state of food shortage. At that time, it will be time for us to join forces to counterattack!"

Hearing what Xun Yucheng said, the generals were immediately delighted.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jun was quite strategic and came up with such an effective method.

The Linzhan granary is not far from the Tianyao City. When Qin Yi besieged the Tianyao City, he had heavy troops on his side, so it was really difficult to capture it.

But now, Qin Yi has captured Tianyao City, led his troops around Chongcheng, went north one after another, and arrived at Lucheng.Therefore, without heavy troops, it is easy to seize the granary!

"When General Yu's letter confirms that the enemy's granary has been destroyed, our army will be ready to attack with the soldiers and horses of Chongcheng!" Xun Yucheng said firmly.

A general quickly shook his head and shouted loudly, "General, no!"

Xun Yucheng was a little puzzled, "How do you say that?"

The general quickly explained, "The granary was destroyed. When Qin Yi heard the news, he would immediately send troops to the northwest to plunder our granary to fill the vacancy. When the general Yu's letter came, our army would move again. It's too late!"

Thinking about it, Xun Yucheng frowned, took a step forward, and asked anxiously, "Then what should I do?"

"Our army should be deployed first!" The general squinted his eyes, "Since I have already guessed that Qin Yi will plunder our dynasty's grain and grass, why not set up an ambush in advance, wait for the enemy soldiers to enter the urn?"

"Wonderful, very wonderful!" Xun Yucheng laughed, "Your boy is quite scheming. Well, I will act according to your plan. If this is true, I will send back the document and claim credit for you!"

After hearing this, the generals all looked forward to it.

In the past, it was always Qin Yi who used tactics to deal with Liukang, but now, it was the other way around. Chongcheng used the strategy of burning grain, and they used the strategy of ambush. Let's see if Qin Yi will be tricked.

As long as Chongcheng succeeds in destroying food, then this plan of ambush will definitely work!
At that time, it will be the death day of Qin Yi's soldiers and horses!

……

Prospecting Dynasty, Ministry of Punishments.

Standing in the execution room, Prime Minister Wu's eyes were deep, staring at the dead body on the ground.

That was Geng Qing, with a dagger stuck in his chest, his clothes were wet with blood, there was already a pool of blood under his body, he couldn't die anymore.

The two foremen were taking off Geng Qing's clothes and doing a quick autopsy.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Lang Zhong and many other high-ranking officials stood aside with their heads bowed and their faces full of bitterness.

It is a serious crime to commit them to die in prison. I don't know how Prime Minister Wu will punish them.

Not long after, an old foreman stood up and said respectfully to Prime Minister Wu, "Master Wu, the autopsy is complete."

Wu Xiang turned his head and looked at the old Wu Zuo.

Seen by Wu Xiang's deep eyes, the old Wu Zuo was slightly shocked, and quickly reported, "The deceased was stabbed three times in the chest, two shallow and one deep. Only the third stab in the heart was the cause of death."

At this moment, a spy guard entered quickly and reported respectfully, "Master Wu, the humble position has been found out, and there is no sign of outsiders entering or leaving."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and became thoughtful.

There is no outsider, the murderer is a person from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he knows the rotation time of the jailers, and takes the opportunity to sneak into the cell to kill.

Three stabs were made, the first two had little effect, and the third one was able to kill. It can be seen that the murderer is not good at attacking and killing. It may not be the arrester, nor the torturer in the torture room, maybe an official.

Before Geng Qing died, there should have been a struggle, the two sides might have fought... Thinking of this, Wu Xiang turned his head and looked at Geng Qing's hands, only to see that the latter's hands were dirty.

He must have gotten his hands dirty by staying in a filthy prison before he died.

So, Wu Xiang said aloud, "Call all the officials."

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishments was a little surprised, and immediately understood, and quickly sent an order to call all the officials.

Not long after, many officials came one after another. Under the instruction of Wu Xiang, five people entered the cell in turn.

Sitting in the chair, Wu Xiang glanced at the deep pupils, then nodded lightly, signaling for another batch.

Groups of people entered the room, all a little surprised and puzzled, but they didn't dare to say more, they could only follow orders.

Facing Wu Xiang's deep eyes, everyone felt pressured and became cautious.

Just as the No.15 group of people entered and was about to go out, Prime Minister Wu suddenly said, "I changed my clothes but forgot to change my boots. After all, I showed my feet."

When one of the five officials heard this, he trembled and his face was as white as paper!
The other four looked at each other in blank dismay, not quite understanding what Prime Minister Wu meant.

In the prison, many officials, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Minister of Justice and others turned their heads abruptly and stared at the boots of the five officials.

In an instant, they saw that an official had exposed the front of his robe's boots, stained with a drop of blood!

Swish!
The spy guard quickly stepped forward, instantly subdued the man, and pushed him to the ground.

This person was thin and unable to resist, he could only be held down, trembling all over, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

After passing down the order and dismissing all the officials, Prime Minister Wu turned his head, looked at the murderer, and asked in a soft but dignified voice, "Who told you to kill Geng Qing?"

The official was full of remorse and despair.

After his clothes were soiled by Geng Qing's hands, he hurriedly escaped from the prison cell and went back to the official's room to change clothes, but unexpectedly, in his haste, he ignored the blood-stained boots!
Now, there is no possibility of excuses anymore, the officials were tearful and begged for mercy repeatedly, "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me!"

Wu Xiang's voice was quite cold, "If it's true, I assure you that it won't hurt your family."

The murderer should pay for his life, but the official killed Geng Qing, the important figure in the Junnu case, if he was replaced by someone else, he might be angry and hurt his family.

It is a great gift to promise that the disaster will not hurt the family.

Hearing this, the official heard that he was sure to die, so he couldn't help crying, and then he sobbed and said, "Little... I went out at noon and met a man. He told me that as long as you kill the person who was just caught in the cell He gave me a hundred taels of gold as a reward, and in order to win my trust, he first gave me ten taels of gold..."

"The other party also said that this person is just a rich man, a petty person, and after killing him, the other party will find someone to make a show of suppressing the case so that the little one won't be implicated... the little one is addicted to gambling and owes huge debts, Encountering such a good thing, I can only take the risk..." Speaking of this, the official burst into tears again.

When Wu Xiang heard the words, he understood that the matter happened too fast, and the other party had no time to arrange it, so he could only hit the idea on the person in the Ministry of Punishment, and hated that this person was actually persuaded.

"Who is that person?" The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment asked anxiously.

The official shook his head and said sadly, "I don't know that person, I've never seen him before."

The servant of the Ministry of punishment scolded angrily, "Draw it!"

In the Ministry of Punishment, all the officials have the ability to draw portraits based on dictation. This official has seen it with his own eyes, and the portraits drawn must have a high degree of similarity. They can use the portraits to arrest the other party.

After hearing this, the official could only take the pen and paper, and began to draw while crying.

After a while, the officials finished the painting, and the spy guards presented the portrait to Minister Wu.

Wu Xiang took it, only glanced at it, and immediately narrowed his eyes!

Very familiar, he has seen this person before!
In an instant, he remembered that in front of Geng Qing's mansion, one of Prince Jing's guards looked like this!

……

Liukang Dynasty, Law City.

A soldier rushed into the hall and shouted happily, "General, there is a message from Chongcheng that the granary has been burned, and the enemy soldiers have no more food and grass to use!"

Xun Yucheng, who was reading a book at his desk, quickly raised his head, his face full of excitement, "So, I am at peace!"

He immediately ordered, "Send an ambush, Qin Yi is likely to rob food in the next few days, so be vigilant at all times, don't miss the opportunity!"

The soldiers nodded quickly and took orders to leave.

Clenching his fist violently, Xun Yucheng couldn't help but smile all over his face.

If Qin Yi can really be defeated, then he and the city guard of Chongcheng will become great heroes of Liukang!
In the future, he will be prosperous and rich, and famous all over the world, and become the first famous general in the world to defeat Qin Yi!
