Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 702 Ten times the strength

Shi Huanchuan and Huang Dingshan are among the secret spies who are very good at lightness, and their martial arts are obviously not bad either.

"Your Majesty, we are back!"

Shi Huanchuan shouted loudly.

"Why did you come back?"

Prince Zheng walked out of the woods.

"Prince Qi, the Chinese Empire's mission is so cunning. They actually set off in the afternoon and traveled all night. If we hadn't kept a close eye on them, they would have run away."

Shi Huanchuan said in a deep voice.

"Traveling all night? Do you mean they are already on their way here?"

Prince Zheng grasped the key instantly.

"Yes, now they have passed Longxugou, and it is estimated that they will reach the black pine forest in half an hour."

Shi Huanchuan nodded in response.

"Cunning guy, if I hadn't gotten the news and rushed here immediately, I'm afraid they would have really escaped."

Prince Zheng grinned.

"My lord, they will be arriving soon. Should we set up a trap right away?"

Huang Dingshan asked.

"Set a trap? Is it so necessary?"

Prince Zheng frowned.

This time, he came with 2000 troops and deployed a thousand troops on each of the north and south routes. No matter which route the Chinese Empire's mission chose, they would be blocked.

Now there are thousands of troops in King Yupo. To deal with more than 200 envoys, ten times the strength, do they still need to set up traps?

"Your Majesty, you don't know. The Chinese Empire's envoys are all cavalry, and there are twenty or thirty carriages. If we charge all the way, it will be difficult for us to annihilate them all. Wouldn't it be refreshing if we escape with a few caught fish? ?”

Huang Dingshan quickly added.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Once the cavalry rushes out, it is indeed not easy to catch up."

Prince Zheng nodded slightly and shouted loudly: "Come here, quickly set up a trap."

The whole Yuwangpo suddenly became lively. Many people began to set up ropes to trip the horses, some dug pits to set up ambushes, and some were moving rocks.

Yuwang Slope has a slope of [-] to [-] degrees, and in some places it reaches [-] degrees. Once the stone rolls down, it will completely block the carriage's route, which is a good way to block the enemy.

Of course, the best thing is the bow and arrow. This time Prince Zheng brought five hundred archers. Once the arrows are fired from the hillside, a death purgatory will be created.

Zhou Lifeng was chasing closely behind, and there was an ambush from Prince Zheng in front. The Chinese Empire's mission was faced with attacks from both front and rear.

Suddenly, Lu Hao's voice sounded in Master Deng's mind.

"Master Deng, order the convoy to stop."

"Hide the convoy in the pine forest on the left, wrap the horses' mouths and iron hooves with cloth to prevent them from making noise, and clean up the traces on the ground."

Lu Hao issued the order.

Master Deng carried out his orders correctly and quickly hid the carriage in the pine forest.

The dense black pine forest is so dark that it is impossible for anyone to hide even 200 people, not to mention more than 2000 people.

After a moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind.

It was obvious that Prince Zhou Lifeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty was catching up.

Maybe it was a rush to send troops, maybe it was a hasty pursuit, maybe it was a lack of careful consideration, Zhou Lifeng's army didn't have many torches, and they were scattered among them.

Fortunately, the night is dark like water tonight. Although there are no stars, you can still see the road.

The cavalry was very fast and crossed the pine forest in a blink of an eye, heading towards King Yu Slope.

"Give the order, stay hidden, and once they enter the ambush circle, cut off their retreat. Don't let any enemy escape!"

Prince Zheng issued the order.

"Your Majesty, let us lead a group of people to cut off the enemy's retreat, shall we?"

Shi Huanchuan took the initiative to ask for a fight. "Okay, you two will take three hundred archers, wait until they enter King Yu Slope, cut off their retreat, and catch turtles in a jar for them!"

Prince Zheng agreed instantly.

Shi Huanchuan and Huang Dingshan quickly led their men to the entrance of Yuwangpo and ambush on the hillside. Once the enemy entered, their archers could cut off the enemy's retreat from above.

Of course, the two people with combat experience also prepared some rocks that could be pushed down from the hillside to block the carriage's retreat.

well deserved...

The sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the valley. Although not many people could be seen, the shining sparks showed that the Chinese Empire's mission was about to arrive.

The Yuwang Slope was winding and had many corners. Zhou Lifeng relied on his large number of people and his galloping horses to pursue him at full speed.

Shi Huanchuan and Huang Dingshan watched the torches below entering Yuwang Slope, feeling overjoyed and secretly glad that they were going to make a great contribution this time.

Zhou Lifeng and General Li took the lead and came galloping on their horses. Suddenly, the horses fell to the ground and let out panicked cries.

Zhou Lifeng and General Li were highly skilled in martial arts. Seeing the horse fall down, they rolled to the ground and bounced back up.

"Be careful! There is an ambush!"

General Lee reminded loudly.

Unfortunately, the war horse chasing after the two men also fell under the tripping rope.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Bows and arrows came overwhelmingly.

"Watch out for the archers!"

General Li reminded again.

It's a pity that there are basically no bunkers under Yuwangpo, and these cavalrymen didn't carry shields at all, and dozens of soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.

The worst thing is that the dozen or so torches that were there suddenly fell to the ground and went out almost instantly.

The entire valley suddenly fell into darkness, and only the hazy shadows on the hillside could be seen through the night.

"Archers strike back!"

General Lee shouted an order.

He was seen standing in front of Zhou Lifeng, with the sword in his hand blocking the densely packed bows and arrows.

Whoosh...

The elite divisions of the Zhou Dynasty immediately launched a counterattack, and the archers fired the first wave of arrows halfway up the hillside.

"Be careful with bows and arrows! Take cover!"

Prince Zheng reminded loudly.

beep...

An overwhelming barrage of arrows fell on the slope, and many people were nailed to the ground alive.

Screams and roars echoed throughout the valley.

Shi Huanchuan and Huang Dingshan, who were ambushing at the entrance of Yuwangpo, heard the shouts of killing in front of them and looked at the horses passing below, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"What's going on? Isn't there only more than 200 people in this Chinese Empire's mission? Why do I feel so much better?"

Shi Huanchuan said doubtfully.

"The Central Plains people are cunning. I guess this is an ambush they have hidden on the road. They can just wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Huang Dingshan is an idiot, he actually found an excuse at random.

"Well, what you said makes sense, so should we cut off their escape route immediately?"

Shi Huanchuan actually agreed with him.

"Didn't you hear the prince's order? We can't let anyone slip through the net. Don't worry, we'll cut off their escape route after they all get in!"

Huang Dingshan looked like he was sure of victory.
