Lightning Ambush
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback.
The grain transport official of Jizhou?
It seems Heaven truly intends to destroy Ji Jizhou!
It really is true that whatever you wish for comes true.
Indeed, this did happen. In history, the one who originally came out to transport grain was none other than General Heng Zheng Jun.
Now that Zheng Lun has become a citizen of Chaoge, it's unknown who has taken over transporting the grain.
But he's probably just a good-for-nothing.
In the entire Jizhou, only General Heng Zheng Lun, the general in charge of the shogunate, was worthy of my attention; the others were nothing but bandits.
Thinking of this, a cold smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"This is truly a godsend! Once the soldiers have rested, we can head east to set up an ambush, intercept the grain transport official from Jizhou, and disguise ourselves as grain transport soldiers. In this way, we can sneak into Jizhou City without anyone noticing."
Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared in Huang Feihu's eyes.
This plan is indeed brilliant.
General Heng Zheng Lun, the general in charge of humming, chuckled.
"Your Majesty's plan is brilliant. Once the opportune moment arrives and you infiltrate Jizhou, you can open the city gates under the cover of night, allowing tens of thousands of cavalry to file in. Then you can split into two groups, one heading straight for Jizhou's grain supplies, and seize control of the supplies immediately."
"Another route can lead straight to Su Hu's residence, capture that rebel, and the crisis in Jizhou can be resolved!"
"As it happens, I am extremely familiar with Jizhou, so I will take care of this matter."
Hearing Zheng Lun's words, Ye Xuan nodded and then personally arranged some details.
General Heng led Zheng Lun with 10,000 troops to ambush them.
Ye Xuan, however, had already ridden Wushuang and disappeared into the air.
To date, he has yet to witness General Heng Zheng Lun's methods.
He wanted to see just how capable Zheng Lun really was in this battle.
As evening approached, a general was seen leading a troop transporting provisions slowly approaching.
There weren't many soldiers, only a few thousand, and most of them were old, weak, sick, or disabled.
After all, it was just a unit escorting supplies, so it obviously wouldn't be a very elite force.
However, there were over a thousand vehicles escorting the grain supplies.
It must be said that Jizhou was indeed extremely wealthy.
Zheng Lun chose to ambush them in an extremely narrow passage.
To the left is a high ground with steep cliffs, making it extremely difficult to climb.
To the right was a dense forest, where more than 10,000 soldiers, having abandoned their mounts, hid.
They waited for the troops escorting the supplies to pass by before launching a surprise attack.
The leader of the ambush army was none other than Zheng Lun.
Although Zheng Lun was somewhat ugly, he had unusual features and an extremely imposing physique.
Wearing a crown of nine-cloud blazing flames and clad in golden chainmail, he rode a terrifying Fiery-Eyed Golden-Gazed Beast and held an extremely frightening Demon-Subduing Vajra in his hand, truly a fierce and imposing general.
Seeing Zheng Lun's imposing presence from the air, Ye Xuan felt a sense of joy.
This guy is one of the infamous "Heng and Ha".
A powerful figure renowned on the Investiture of the Gods.
He once studied under the Kunlun True Person Du'e.
The Du'e Zhenren had nothing to teach him, so he passed on to him an extremely terrifying secret technique: the Two Qi in the Nostrils.
Once the spell was cast, he snorted heavily through his nose.
The sound rapidly amplified, like thunder, shaking the very core of one's being.
Furthermore, it can exhale two streams of white vapor from its nose; if you are hit by these two streams of white vapor, you are very likely to be blasted away and your soul will be scattered.
Actually, there was another extraordinary person whose skills were similar to Zheng Lun's.
That man's name was Chen Qi, also known as Heng and Ha and General Ha.
He had also received instruction from a mysterious person, and had cultivated a yellow true energy within his abdomen.
It opened its mouth wide and let out a sudden, thunderous roar that shook the very soul.
If one were to be struck by the yellow true energy emanating from his abdomen, it would also shake one's soul.
If we can find Chen Qi too, then we'll have the Heng and Ha.
Just as Ye Xuan, hidden in the air, was lost in thought...
In the distance, a force of several thousand men, escorting thousands of grain carts, finally approached slowly.
The leader was a handsome young man.
He was extremely handsome.
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback when he saw this person.
He had already recognized who this person was.
It was none other than his brother-in-law, Su Quanzhong.
The son of Su Hu of Jizhou, he was quick-tempered and highly skilled in martial arts, particularly adept at using an iron halberd. It was said that he was the bravest warrior in the entire army of Jizhou.
In history, after Su Hu rebelled, this guy relied on his bravery and strength to defeat Chong Houhu, who came to suppress him, many times, and even killed several of Chong Houhu's generals.
Finally, this guy was captured by Chong Heihu's Iron-Beaked Divine Eagle.
Later, after Su Hu of Jizhou revealed Su Daji, this guy was also released.
Later, Su Hu, who had betrayed his own people, surrendered directly to Xiqi, and this guy also surrendered to Xiqi along with his father.
He had seen this guy once before, back in Jizhou City.
However, this guy ran into Zheng Lun today, so he's probably going to be arrested and brought to justice.
At this moment, the guy also seemed a little drowsy, after all, he had been tense for a while and was quite tired.
As the team passed through the ambush area.
Zheng Lun gave the order.
Instantly, countless boulders rolled down from the high ground on the left, crashing directly onto the grain transport team.
These giant rocks, like death warrants, rolled over with a thunderous roar, instantly throwing the team into chaos.
The boulder was incredibly powerful and impossible to retaliate against; the group could only dodge left and right, avoiding its sharp edge.
Su Quanzhong, who had been feeling drowsy, finally woke up.
I never imagined that we'd be so close to Jizhou, only to be ambushed like this?
"Enemy attack! Everyone, engage the enemy immediately!"
"Keep hidden and protect the grain and fodder!"
Su Quanzhong was extremely anxious at this point; he never expected to be blocked on this route.
Intelligence indicated that Huang Feihu was still a long way off, but now he had been attacked by the enemy.
This means that Huang Feihu had almost complete knowledge of the intelligence regarding Jizhou.
This is clearly not a good sign for Jizhou.
Faced with this sudden attack, the soldiers transporting the grain were clearly routed.
Already elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, how could they possibly fight back against this sudden attack?
At this point, any war would be futile in the face of these megaliths.
After a long time, the number of boulders rolling down the mountain on the left gradually decreased.
The next moment, sounds of fighting erupted from the woods on the right.
Many burly and extremely strong soldiers charged forward.
These soldiers carried spears, had two-handed greatswords at their waists, and bows and arrows on their backs.
Each one Wushuang brave and extremely fierce.
Upon seeing the soldiers charging towards him, Su Quanzhong's face darkened.
His speed in transporting grain out of the city this time was already extremely fast, and he chose the East Gate, which was quite far from Huang Feihu, but unexpectedly, the other side still found out and laid an ambush in advance.
Although somewhat surprised, he was ultimately an extremely brave and valiant general.
They immediately led the charge.
He needed to fight his way through this place and then immediately escape back to Jizhou, otherwise he might very well perish here.
In the midst of his shock and anger, he suddenly spotted one of the enemy's fiercest generals.
Upon seeing this person, Su Quanzhong flew into a rage.
I never expected that the one leading the sneak attack would be that guy.
"Zheng Lun, you two-faced scoundrel, you actually sent troops to launch a sneak attack on me?"
"You scoundrel, you villain, you traitor!!!"
