Wind Valley is only more than thirty miles away from the county seat. For such a distance, if you drive at full speed from Rouyuan County, you can reach Wind Valley in less than half a day.
Du Qi and his party deliberately slowed down their journey, and it took longer. But for Zhou Ziqing, who was ambushing in the Valley of the Wind, he had enough patience. No matter how fast Du Qi was, as long as Du Qi came in the direction of Wind Valley, there would be no problem.
Zhou Ziqing and his party of more than a thousand people have been waiting quietly on the mountains on both sides of Fenggu Valley.
On the hillside, the sun was shining.
Basking in the scorching sun is very uncomfortable. In such a scorching hot weather, it would be fine if it was under the shade of a tree, as it wouldn't feel so hot. But the terrain of Wind Valley is different, the rocks on both sides have been weathered, and there are no trees and jungles.
Therefore, it is very uncomfortable to be in the sun.
Even so, Zhou Ziqing and his party were still waiting.
At the position where Zhou Ziqing was waiting, the soldiers around him were already dripping with sweat. Beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead, and then slid down his face. Even layers of skin had fallen off the faces of many soldiers. Because lurking in the Wind Valley for the past few days, the environment is really harsh, so that it has become like this.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier ran quickly.
The soldiers came to Zhou Ziqing's side and reported: "General, there is the latest news. Du Qi and his party are less than ten miles away from Wind Valley. They are about to arrive at Wind Valley. The opportunity we have been waiting for a long time, come gone."
"Good, good, good!"
Zhou Ziqing's face was full of excitement.
If Du Qi can be killed, or captured alive, Zhou Ziqing will become famous all over the world. For Datang, he also made a great contribution, and such a contribution is enough for him to advance several levels in succession.
Zhou Ziqing ordered: "Pass down the order, and everyone is on guard. As soon as Du Qi's team arrives, they will attack directly. This time, we will take advantage of our superiority in strength and quickly take down Du Qi."
"yes!"
The orderly immediately arranged for it.
The rest of the soldiers who came with Zhou Ziqing also got excited. Among the thousand soldiers, most of them had experienced a battle with Du Qi. Many of them hated Du Qi even more after seeing how powerful Du Qi was. Now they have a chance for revenge, so many people look forward to it.
Time passed by little by little, but the sun gradually moved westward, because it was already past the afternoon time. Fortunately, the sun was so hot at this time that it was no longer shining on people at noon, and each of the soldiers of the Tang Army breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Zhou, someone is here."
Just as Zhou Ziqing was concentrating on waiting, suddenly, a soldier beside him reminded him in a low voice.
Zhou Ziqing said: "I see."
His gaze has already landed on the official road under Fenggu Valley. More than a hundred cavalry guards surrounded and protected a carriage that Du Qi was in, and the group moved forward slowly. However, there was another carriage behind Du Qi's carriage. Zhou Ziqing thought it was for Shangguanyi and the others, and felt that it was reasonable.
Wheels! Wheels!
The carriage continued to move forward, slowly.
When this team arrived at the foot of the mountain, less than 30 steps away from Zhou Ziqing's position, Zhou Ziqing suddenly stood up and shouted: "Bowman, release the arrow!"
As soon as he gave an order, crossbowmen immediately released arrows from the hillside. At the same time, two large stone balls rolled down, each with a diameter of more than ten feet. One left and one right rolled down the mountain, heading towards Du Qi's team.
The crossbow arrows hit first, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army under Du Qi's command were already prepared. They directly took out the shields from their horses and shielded them, only to hear the sound of ding ding, and the feathered arrows fell down. Even so, several soldiers were shot by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground, dying under the arrows on the spot.
Fortunately, the soldiers under Mordo's command are well-trained and have received orders a long time ago. Now when they are attacked, they rush forward quickly to get rid of the attacking crossbow. Immediately afterwards, a stone ball rolled down, but the opponent had already run away, so the stone ball fell with great momentum at best, but did not cause any casualties.
A group of people accelerated forward, and the horses also pulled the carriage forward, leaving the shooting distance of the crossbow in a short time. Although there were casualties in this process, at any rate they left the shooting range of the crossbow arrows. Even if there were still crossbow arrows, they were useless.
"kill!"
Seeing this, Zhou Ziqing immediately ordered an attack.
With an order, horns sounded on the mountain, and all the ambush soldiers on both sides rushed out. Zhou Ziqing brought people to ambush this time, a total of thousands of people, every day?They are all elites on the battlefield, and they are all extremely powerful. After all, Hou Junji also wanted to win the battle, so he sent the most powerful soldiers.
Soldiers one by one, dare to fight and kill.
Each soldier has strong combat effectiveness.
Everyone rushed out, intervened in the battlefield in a short period of time, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Forbidden Army under Du Qi's command. At this time, Morado ordered to stop the evacuation, because there were no crossbow arrows to shoot, so he was no longer afraid. Originally, Mo Ledo led more than a hundred guards from the imperial guards, but a wave of crossbow arrows fired earlier and damaged more than ten people, and now there are more than eighty people left.
Even so, the fighting power of a group of people is not weak.
The people under Mordo's command stopped the evacuation, and then formed an array to resist.
After this fight, Morado received the order to delay the time and wait for the arrival of the ambush. So all of them gathered around the carriage, pretending to be defensive.
After a while, Zhou Ziqing and his party were already dumbfounded.
One side attacks and the other side defends.
Zhou Ziqing's attack was extremely ferocious. But the defending side also defended impeccably, without losing the slightest bit of wind.
Time passed little by little, and when the estimated time came, Moredo no longer surrounded the carriage all the time, but tried his best to defend against delays to ensure that his soldiers could keep stock.
Time continued to flow, and gradually the carriage became vacant. This situation fell into the eyes of Zhou Ziqing, he immediately became excited, and shouted: "Come on, rush around the carriage for me, and take down Du Qi first."
The soldiers under his command quickly gathered in the past.
One by one, they rushed towards the carriage, but when the first person came to the carriage, slashed at the carriage and smashed the carriage, but found that the carriage was empty, he was stunned because there was no figure of Du Qi.
"There is no Du Qi!"
"Du Qi is not in the carriage, this is a cover. We have been tricked, we have been tricked."
The first person to rush to the carriage shouted.
The news spread quickly, and it reached Zhou Ziqing's ears immediately. Zhou Ziqing's heart skipped a beat. They acted extremely confidentially, and after entering Rouyuan County, they all dispersed, and finally chose Fenggu Valley to ambush.
No one has passed the news.
should not be discovered.
Right now they haven't met Du Qi, obviously Du Qi knew the news a long time ago, and Du Qi laid an ambush early, so that they are now being plotted against.
"Evacuate, we evacuate immediately!"
Zhou Ziqing was not an indecisive person, so he immediately gave the order to evacuate. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
