Chapter 76: Please go into the trap

On the official road from Sanjiang to Xiling.

More than 5,000 Mingyue Light Cavalry and more than 5,000 infantrymen were protecting nearly 1,000 large chariots and slowly advancing forward. Yao Mingyuan rode his horse to Yan Ting and said anxiously: "Sir Yan, Meng Hu had already left the city last night. It is said that he should have met with the barbarian cavalry in the north of the city, why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

"Don't be anxious." Yan Ting said calmly, "Keep calm, they will definitely come."

"Report..."

As Yan Ting finished speaking, a fast horse suddenly galloped from the front and said sternly, "Searching for the horse to return, I found a large group of barbarians twenty miles northwest!"

"Here you." Yao Mingyuan couldn't help but slamming, "This tiger is finally here!"

"Good guy, it turns out that he didn't seem to be expected by the Governor, and he secretly walked behind us. Otherwise, he might be caught off guard!" Yan Ting thought of this, and he turned around and said to Yao Mingyuan, "General Mingyuan, you can now speed up the marching and rush to the scheduled ambush and take him!"

"yes!"

Yao Mingyuan agreed and turned around and shouted to the guard captain behind him, "Tell me the order, the whole army will speed up and move quickly to the designated location!"

With a command, the grain transport team, which was originally as slow as a snail, immediately accelerated the march. The carriages and horses roared and rolled forward.

The leopard held a long bow in his hand, and calmly aimed at the bright moon roar ahead.

The bright moon roar also brought his bow and arrow, but the arrow aimed at the sky above his head.

Suddenly, the leopard's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and his right hand tightly opened suddenly. With a buzzing sound, the wolf-toothed arrow on the string had already left the string. A flash of cold light, the bright moon riding horse was riding wildly in front of him fell from the horse's back, and the ground rolled for a few times and remained silent.

However, before his death, the Mingyue Ranger shot the arrows on the string into the sky, and made a sharp roar, which was clearly heard several miles away. Soon, there were another scream in the wilderness in the distance. Obviously, the Mingyue Ranger was warning the brigade.

"Good guy."

Dunzi next to him praised enviously, "Leopard, your archery skills have improved again!"

Leopard scratched his head a little silly, looked back at Meng Hu, his eyes full of burning heat and admiration. The reason why his archery skills were able to make rapid progress was entirely because of Meng Hu's passionate teaching.

Meng Hu nodded slightly and said coldly: "The leopard still needs to practice more. If you can take action faster, you can shoot the opponent before warning the arrow before it can be shot."

The leopard blushed and said ashamed: "You must practice hard in humble duties and never embarrass the general."

Qi Diaozi stepped forward and said to Meng Hu: "General, the enemy's defense is very strict. It seems that it is impossible to lean on without knowing it."

"The two armies are only twenty or thirty miles apart now, so they can't escape, so there is no need to hide them anymore!" Meng Hu said with a grim voice, "The whole army speeds up and catch up with the enemy's food transport team in one go!"

With Meng Hu's order, more than a thousand light cavalry and nearly ten thousand barbarian cavalry of the Tiger Regiment accelerated, sweeping forward along the official road in a scattered formation. The iron hooves swelled and the horses were crowded. More than a thousand iron cavalry were like a huge wave of romance swept across the wilderness, instantly raising smoke and dust, covering half of the sky...

In less than half an hour, the Mingyue Imperial Army's grain transport team appeared in sight.

In the vast wilderness, more than ten thousand Mingyue cavalry infantry were rushing forward with a long team of grain trucks. Although they were still far away, Meng Hu could clearly feel the enemy's anxiety. Because they were too fast, several grain trucks had broken wheels and were forced to abandon them on the side of the road. Meng Hu rushed forward and picked out the straw mat covering the grain truck with his gun and saw that there were big bags of wheat and rice inside.

"Ha!" Dunzi urged the war horse hard, laughing with a ferocious look, "These bastards can't escape, hahaha..."

“Buzz buzz…”

The leopard held Kongxian excitedly, and the young handsome face was full of excitement. He could practice arrows with living people. There was nothing more exciting than this. Although this guy was only seventeen years old, he was a completely cold-blooded killer. There were at least a hundred soldiers from the Mingyue Empire who died under his arrow.

More than a thousand light cavalry of the Tiger Division followed, and they were like evil wolves smelling blood, revealing their cold fangs. As they were about to pounce on them and tear their prey apart, not far behind them, the nearly ten thousand barbarian cavalry also had a ferocious expression, and their eyes were filled with tyrannical murderous intent.

The iron hooves churn and the earth is trembling!

The carriages and horses roar, and the north wind is howling!

Suddenly, the two armies were less than three miles apart. They were about to catch up with the Mingyue Imperial Army's grain transport team, but Meng Hu suddenly smelled a faint smell of tinder oil in his nose. Meng Hu's pupils suddenly shrank, and the spear in his hand suddenly raised high, and at the same time he screamed: "Stop moving forward, stop moving forward!"

"Well!"

"Well!"

Dunzi and Leopard, who were closely behind Meng Hu, saw this and pulled the reins hard at the same time, and the two almost collided.

Hearing Meng Hu's long howl, more than a thousand light cavalry of the Tiger Division also stopped. Many soldiers could not hold back their power and hit others. The entire cavalry formation suddenly became chaotic. The nearly ten thousand barbarian cavalry following the fierce riding skills suddenly split into two, cutting through the chaotic cavalry of the Tiger Division's chaotic cavalry formation, rushed forward for a few miles before barely stopping.

The north wind blows, the sky is silent.

The squadron of cavalry rushing forward had completely stopped. Whether it was the soldiers of the Tiger Division or the barbarians, they all looked at Meng Hu with confusion. No one knew what Meng Hu had discovered, and no one knew why Meng Hu suddenly ordered the chasing to stop.

Meng Hu looked solemn and was sniffing the air around him hard. The smell of tincture oil he just smelled seemed to have disappeared again.

The Tiger Division and the Barbarian Cavalry suddenly stopped chasing, and the distance between the two armies suddenly widened again.

Yao Mingyuan quickly rode his horse to Yan Ting and asked nervously: "Chief of the staff, it's so strange, why did Meng Hu's barbarian cavalry stop?"

Yan Ting is also solemn. Have you discovered any flaws?

Looking at the surrounding wilderness with some concern, Yan Ting immediately denied his inference. Everything around the wilderness was as old as before, and there was no flaw at all. Even if Meng Hu was powerful, he would never see anything unusual in the rapid march, but the enemy did stop. What was wrong?

Yao Mingyuan said anxiously: "Chief of the staff, why don't you launch an attack? Anyway, most of the barbarian cavalry have entered the ambush circle!"

"No, wait a little longer, almost half of the barbarian cavalry did not enter the ambush circle!" Yan Ting shook his head coldly, "I ordered the entire army to continue moving forward, and no flaws can be revealed at this time!"

Qi Diaozi rode his horse to Meng Hu and asked in a narrow voice: "General, have you found any problem?"

Meng Hu sucked two more mouthfuls of cold air, but the dust that was sucked into his nose was not the same as dust, and he didn't smell any scent of tinder oil. He shook his head in confusion. Meng Hu's brows frowned and said in a voice: "I seemed to smell a tinder oil just now, and things were a bit abnormal."

"Tube oil smell?"

Qi Diaozi's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He also sucked a few breaths of air hard, but he only smelled the smell of dust.

Dunzi came forward and asked in a buzzing voice: "General, the Mingyue bandits have gone far away, are we still chasing them?"

"No hurry." Meng Hu raised his hand suddenly and said coldly, "There are endless plains here, and they can't escape!"

The two armies were getting farther and farther apart, and they had already been several miles apart. Meng Hu's more than 10,000 cavalry still didn't catch up. Yan Ting's heart couldn't help but hang up. Did the enemy really find any flaws? Otherwise, how could they let their grain transport team go?

Yao Mingyuan rode his horse again to Yan Ting and said anxiously: "Chief of the staff, the situation is not good. It seems that the enemy must have discovered some flaws. Taking advantage of the fire attack now, at least most of the barbarian cavalry can trap at least. If you really have to wait for the enemy to react and escape from the ambush circle, then you will regret it."

Yan Ting's forehead had beads of sweat the size of beans.

What to do? Wait or launch an attack immediately?

Waiting for a little more, there are only two consequences. One is that all the barbarians enter the predetermined ambush circle, and the other is that the enemy suddenly retreats when they find a flaw. If an attack is launched immediately, the barbarians who have entered the ambush circle are certainly doomed, but what should they do if the barbarians who have not entered the ambush circle? They cannot leave any troubles behind!

"Chief of the Staff!" Yao Mingyuan, who was on the side, said anxiously, "Give orders quickly, it will be too late!"

Yan Ting gritted his teeth suddenly and shouted in a deep voice: "Send the order, launch an attack immediately!"

"General." Qi Diaozi asked in surprise, "I didn't smell any tincture oil."

Meng Hu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It should be no mistake. I did smell a smell of oil just now."

Meng Hu had absolute confidence in his sense of smell. After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, and searched carefully. When he approached the ground, Meng Hu immediately discovered something suspicious. The artemisia here seemed particularly dense, and did not look like it grew naturally, but like it was artificially transplanted...

Artificial transplant!?

Meng Hu's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly reached out and grabbed the cluster of wormwood in front of him and pulled it gently. In an instant, the dry firewood that was covered with neatly placed under the wormwood was exposed. There were faint black oil marks on the dry firewood. Meng Hu bent down and smelled it, and he really smelled a faint smell of tinder oil!

"not good!"

Meng Hu was shocked and turned his back onto the horse.

"call out!"

"Swish swish swish swish swish..."

As Meng Hu finished speaking, a continuous scream suddenly sounded in the surrounding wilderness.

Everyone looked around quickly and saw a large area of ​​smoke and dust suddenly rising from the wilderness on both sides. In the rolling smoke and dust, a large group of bright moon archers had already emerged from the ground like ghosts!

Mingyue archers pulled their bows and arrows and aimed at the void. Meng Hu's pupils suddenly shrank because he saw a burning rocket! Of course, these hundreds of rockets would not pose too much threat to nearly ten thousand man cavalry, but the problem is that there are large areas of yellow artemisia under the feet of nearly ten thousand man cavalry. What's more, there may even be a lot of dry firewood soaked in tinea oil under the dense artemisia, which is the most deadly thing!

Being trapped, fuck it!
