False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 66 Ambush and anti-ambush

"Xiao Cui, go and call Eunuch Cao over," Zhang Yan said.

"Hey." Xiaocui responded and walked to the side, calling for a guard to stop.

After a while, Cao Qing came over.

"Your Majesty, tell me to come here, what do you want?" Cao Qing drooped his head and dared not look at Zhang Yan.The two mothers in it both have vendettas against him, and they don't know what kind of wind this queen is having, so she went to the Longquan Temple so far away to pray for blessings.He still has to protect himself.The boss is unwilling to do such a thankless task, Cao Qing.

"How far is it from Longquan Temple? How long will it take to get there?" Zhang Yan asked.

"Haven't gone halfway yet. The road ahead will be a bit more difficult. If we go at this speed, it's not bad if we can arrive before dark." Cao Qing said.

"Are you complaining about the emperor asking you to guard me?" Zhang Yan asked.

"How dare I. The emperor's order, even if it is to go into the sea of ​​fire in the oil pan, I will not hesitate." Cao Qing said.

"Is it as dangerous to escort me to Longquan Temple as to step into a sea of ​​flames?" Zhang Yan immediately caught Cao Qing's speech impediment.

"No, no." Cao Qing panicked with sweat dripping from his forehead.None of the famous sissies in history are easy to deal with.Looking back, Cao Qing saw Zhu Huiti again, and added that women who were not famous in history may not be easy to deal with.

"It's fine if you don't. Eunuch Cao, if you are afraid that you won't be able to make it to Longquan Temple after dark, you should speed up your pace. Although we are women, we can still bear a little bit of hard work." Zhang Yan said.

"It's so good." Cao Qing quickly ordered to go down and speed up.

What Cao Qing didn't know was that there were already large groups of people lying in ambush on the mountains on both sides of the team's final place.

These people are led by Luo Qing, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.They gathered tens of thousands of horses and used the dense trees in the forest to hide.

"Dear relatives, if today's day is done, we can capture the former Empress of Ming Dynasty. This is a big shot. Once she is captured, we can use her to rescue all our Taoist relatives captured by Jin Yiwei. In the capital The Taoist relatives who inquired about the news have sent the news. They only have a guard team of 3000 people. When the battalion fights, it is absolutely certain to win. Therefore, once the war starts, you must not fear life and death. I will ask the longevity mother to protect you, and you will be invulnerable." Luo Qing said.

"Follow the teacher's law!" Everyone responded in unison.

This morale suddenly soared several feet high.It startled all the birds on the tall tree several feet high.

On the official road, there was a man from the rivers and lakes riding a horse. He saw a large group of birds flying out of the mountain from a distance, and heard a huge cry echoing in the valley ahead. He immediately turned his horse's head and ran back.

"Eunuch Cao, the brothers from the front are here to report. There are a large number of thieves in ambush five miles ahead. Right now, Yebushou is checking the number of soldiers and horses on the other side, and will report soon." Ye Hong ran over quickly.Ye Hong is a sharpshooter, and the sharpshooter flag temporarily serves as the night.

"Go and investigate carefully," Cao Qing said.

Ye Hong immediately took orders and ran forward.

"Stop advancing! Rest on the spot!" Cao Qing stopped the entire team.

Zhang Yan's sense is still quite sensitive, "Eunuch Cao, is there something going on in front?"

"No, no, it's very normal. After walking for more than two hours, it must be time for the empress and the princess to eat. It's just a short rest here. After eating, rest a little, and then continue on the road." Cao Qing He behaved very calmly, but his nervousness still couldn't escape Zhang Yan's eyes.But Zhang Yan didn't say anything.

"After traveling for so long, I am indeed a little hungry. Let's eat first." Zhang Yan said.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so hungry. When I came out in the morning, I couldn't eat anything, and now my stomach is already empty." Zhu Huiti naturally couldn't see the dignified atmosphere in the team.

Cao Qing left two thousand recruits to continue to guard the team.He ran forward with the thousand veterans.Cao Qing's guard battalion has invested a lot of money, everyone is equipped with horses, and it is the most mobile team in Ming Dynasty.

After running for not long, they saw Ye Hong and others.

"How is it? Have you found out the total number of troops on the other side?" Cao Qing asked.

"I have found out everything. On the opposite mountain, there are estimated to be about 9000 to [-] people. Among them are some old, weak, sick and disabled. Those who can really fight are no more than a few hundred people. Those hundreds of people are from the Jianghu. They are good fighters alone." These people in the rivers and lakes must be good in individual combat, but when it comes to legion battles, these people's role is extremely limited.So Cao Qing didn't take these people seriously.

"Take your sharp gun flag and Niu Dazhuang's flag and touch them behind them, and throw all the enemies on their heads. There is a chance to kill those leaders." Watson waved to Ye Hong and whispered to him Said.

Cao Qing said that the enemy of ten thousand is not the enemy of ten thousand before the Ming Dynasty.In order to increase the power of Da Ming's Enemy of Ten Thousand Enemies, the Enemy of Ten Thousand Enemy was made very large.Although the power is very large, but the weight is also very scary.Only suitable for defending the city.The batch of enemies made by Cao Qing are actually hand grenades for later generations.With great power and light weight, a person like Niu Dazhuang who is born with strong arms can throw sixty or seventy steps, and Niu Dazhuang can even throw more than a hundred steps.However, when throwing a grenade in the mountains, the most important thing is not the distance, but the accuracy.Otherwise, if it hits a tree and bounces back, it will be fatal.

"What's going on? It seems that the queen's team has stopped." Luo Qing frowned.

Hao Baozi, an old official beside Luo Qing, asked anxiously, "Master, have we been discovered?"

"What are you panicking about? We are ambushing here, but they have never come over. How could they have found us?" Luo Qing said.

Hao Baozi said with a bitter face, "My right eye twitched a lot today. Something is wrong, I'd better be careful."

"Well, Hao Baozi, you have even started to question the words of the leader. Are you the elder or the leader? The leader is not as good at war as you?" said Li Chengzhang, another bishop.

This Mingjiao people seem to have a common belief, but in fact there are internal contradictions and factions.

Hao Baozi became a little angry: "When did I say such a thing? I just asked the leader to be careful."

"Forget it, stop arguing. Send someone to investigate. See what the officials and soldiers are really like." Luo Qing said.

Li Chengzhang was a little embarrassed: "Master, all of our Yebushou have been sent out, and none of them have come back so far. They must have been discovered."

"Li Chengzhang, your people are too useless. None of the people you sent out at night can't come back. If you don't accept you this night, you will be taken in by ghosts." Hao Baozi will not let go of beating Li Chengzhang Chance.

"Hey, there seems to be smoke over there. I know, it should be eating. Unfortunately, we have been waiting here for a long time, but we couldn't wait for them. Now they eat big fish and meat, but we are starving here It's really unreasonable." Li Chengzhang said.

"It's okay, let's eat dry food to satisfy our hunger first. When we defeat the officers and soldiers and capture the queen, we can eat heavy rain and meat. Wait for us to exchange the saintess and other Taoist relatives. All Taoist relatives are meritorious ministers. Received the grace of Wusheng old mother." Luo Qing said.

Luo Qing is indeed a very powerful character, and even a few words can slowly revive the somewhat low morale.

Luo Qing was also very anxious.The longer this time is, the worse it will be for the White Lotus Sect.The officers and soldiers over there are well fed, and here I can only eat some cold dry food to satisfy my hunger.There are also many people who did not bring much dry food with them.It's just a little bit full.

The two groups of soldiers circled around in a big circle before arriving at the foot of the mountain behind them.

"There isn't even a sentry post, what a mob." Ye Hong said disdainfully.

"If Master Cao didn't teach you, would you still be the same?" Niu Dazhuang laughed.

"You're not much worse. You'll be more accurate in your shots later, and throw them around those bosses. Don't throw them on a tree and bounce back. At that time, the brothers will be killed by you." Ye Hong said.

"When you shoot later, be sure to hit the right spot. Don't hit me in the ass, or I will never end with you." Niu Dazhuang said.

The people from the two banners sneaked up to the mountain, and on the mountain, they could clearly see all the people of the White Lotus Sect lying in disorder in the forest.They have been lying in ambush here for most of the day, and they are really tired.Plus they have no discipline at all.As long as you are fighting, just rush forward.The main combat power still depends on the group of green forest heroes around the leader.

At this time, people from Ye Hong and Niu Dazhuang's two banners stopped talking and communicated with each other entirely through gestures.

Since those people were all lying on the ground, if they threw tens of thousands of enemies down, I'm afraid not even a single grenade would blow up a few.So Ye Hong signaled for him to make the first move.

After searching for a long time among the group of people below, I didn't see a person who looked like a leader.I can only find an unlucky ghost at random.

"Crack!" "Crack!"...

A series of gunshots rang out.

Immediately there were bursts of miserable cries from the crowd of the White Lotus Sect.Several were directly beaten to death.The screams are not enough, but the effect is better.Thousands of followers of the White Lotus Sect suddenly became chaotic.

"Enemy attack!"

"Ready to fight back!"

Luo Qing should be thankful that he was not targeted by Ye Hong just now, otherwise he would be the one whose head blossomed just now.

Luo Qing knew that there must be no chaos at this time, once there was a chaos, it would be a complete failure.He is still very clear about the abilities of the group of people under him.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! Pick up your weapons and prepare to fight!"

But where is the enemy?

"They're behind us!" someone suddenly shouted.They apparently discovered the whereabouts of Ye Hong and others.
