[Chapter 162 Ambush]

“Are you sure Zhong Shidao is dead?”

Gao Fu, Gao Yuan stared into the eyes of the official in front of him with a stern tone.

“It must be dead. There are sixteen corpses in total, not a few.” The official bowed his head.

He went to the scene and saw with his own eyes the charred and inhuman corpses.

Gao Yuan nodded, “That’s good. As for the Zhong family in Shangyi County, it won’t be too late to destroy them after we kill King Yan.”

Then he said: “Call all the officials to the government office, and everything will go according to plan.”

The officials left in response.

An hour later.

Hundreds of wealthy officials appeared in the government office.

Meet Liu Fu.   Gao Yuan knelt down with a “plop” and burst into tears, ” Liu

Wangfu, I know I was wrong. I hope Mr. Wang Fu will leave a way for me to survive. I am willing to hand over all the land to His Royal Highness Yan Wang.”

sneer.

He pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly helped Gao Yuan up, “Why is Gao Junshou doing this? Your Highness has always been benevolent, how could he not give you a way to survive, but these officials are too much, I have to punish them for their crimes, otherwise how will I explain to the people ”

Yes, yes, what Lord Wang Fu said is very true, they should be punished, but please don’t misunderstand, my lord, we handed over the land voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with this matter. Since Shanggu County has belonged to His Highness, we will naturally give it up. Your Highness will follow suit.” Gao Yuan said almost obsequiously.

Liu Fu rolled his eyes, “This…Since this is the case, I will report this matter to His Highness and see what His Highness has to say.”

“Then please trouble Mr. Wang Fu.” Gao Yuan bowed again.

Send a group of people away.

Liu Fu asked people to fetch pen and paper, wrote down what Zhong Shidao said, and sent them to Yan County.

“Your Highness’s move is really high, this group of rich people finally couldn’t bear it anymore, heh heh, this time they will definitely disappear in smoke.” Liu Fu looked smug.

a day later.

Liu Fu’s letter arrived at the palace, and after Zhao Xu read the contents of the letter, he called Chang Wei and Mo Yu to the palace.

“Does Your Highness plan to go to Shanggu County, or do you plan to capture the assassin with your own hands before doing it?” Chang Wei licked his lips excitedly, and there was another battle.

Mo Yu said: “Ambush His Highness is a rebellion, His Highness has more reasons to kill them all, and since the assassin is a dead man, it is difficult to keep alive, even if they are captured alive, it is difficult to ask anything.”

Zhao Xu nodded , Mo Yu’s thoughts coincided with his.

“Just putting His Highness in a dangerous situation is a bit inappropriate.” Chang Wei was a little worried.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and no one can guarantee what will happen.

“Your Highness doesn’t need to go in person.” Mo Yu smiled slyly, “Just find someone who is about the same age and figure as His Highness to pretend to be. When marching, you only need to wear His Highness’s armor.”

Chang Wei suddenly realized when he heard this, Zhao Xu Nodding frequently.

With his helmet on, basically only a pair of eyes are exposed, and no one can tell them apart.

“Even so, this king will go there in person to destroy the noble clan of Shanggu, how can this king not come in person? But this king can just hide in the rear team.” Zhao Xu laughed.

Chang Wei and Mo Yu nodded at the same time, this is also feasible.

Since the Shanggu Hao family wanted to ambush King Yan.

Then they must be scheming.

In front, there will be a thousand people escorting the fake King Yan, and a few miles away, they will personally order the army to follow.

After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu wrote back a letter to Liu Fu, asking him to follow the plan.

Liu Fu received the letter and immediately found Gao Yuan.

“Governor Gao, His Highness is very happy to hear about this, and will set off for Shanggu County tomorrow, saying that he will reward Governor Gao greatly.” Liu Fu laughed.

Gao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, he said: “I will definitely not disappoint His Highness.”

After chatting for a while, Gao Yuan returned to the mansion.

That night, he secretly ordered the Shanggu nobles to pull out elite private soldiers, led by his eldest son Gao Man, to rush to both sides of the official road at the junction of Yan County and Shanggu County in the starry night.

After arriving at the ambush site, Gao Man immediately ordered the soldiers to dig a trench on the official road, cover it with thatch and floating soil, insert sharp bamboo pieces inside, and wait for the arrival of King Yan.

a day later.

Tan Ma reported that King Yan’s men and horses had entered Shanggu County from Yan County. Gao Man immediately ambush on both sides of the road, waiting for King Yan to enter the trap.

“Chen Hu, you are really lucky. Now you are wearing His Highness’s armor. You are envious of the generals in the army. I wish I could scrape off my body and shorten my legs to replace you.” The

autumn wind was warm , the sun is shining brightly.

On the wide official road, a group of people walked slowly.

In the middle of the team, Chen Hu was riding Zhao Xu’s horse, wearing Zhao Xu’s armor, with a straight chest, trying to imitate Yan Wang’s appearance as much as possible.

“Hey…” Chen Hu laughed foolishly. He felt very honored to be a substitute for His Royal Highness King Yan.

However, because he didn’t dare to move around, which damaged the image of King Yan, his neck hurt a little.

“Wow! Ah…” The

two were playing around, when suddenly there was a heavy object falling and the screams of soldiers in front of them.

Lu Chang looked forward and saw that the front line was in chaos.

He and Chen Hu looked at each other, and secretly thought it was coming.

“Whoosh!”

At this moment, the sound of piercing the sky suddenly sounded.

Arrows rained down on the marching team.

Chen Hu was treated seriously, and dozens of arrows came straight at him.

“Ding ding dong dong…” There was a sound of metal clashing, and the arrow left a shallow crater on the armor and fell to the ground.

“Enemy attack, enemy attack, form an formation, form an formation! Protect His Highness King Yan.” Lu Chang galloped through the ranks, probably screaming loudly.

Their task is to attract the enemy and hold them back.

Hearing his voice, the soldiers formed a circle and protected the fake King Yan played by Chen Hu in the middle.

The soldiers who fell into the pit also climbed out of it.

Under the protection of the armor, they were not pierced by the bamboo slices, but fell very painfully.

“Kill!”

After a shower of arrows.

There were shouts and killings on both sides of the road.

The dense private soldiers of the noble family rushed towards the soldiers of the royal family who had formed a circular formation.

“The crossbowmen are ready.” Lu Chang shouted, the group of wealthy private soldiers were really fooled.

But when he looked around, there were more than ten thousand enemy soldiers coming.

This gang of wealthy families in Shanggu County paid a lot of money.

But this scene didn’t frighten him, he was someone who had fought against Charha’s five thousand cavalry.

“Kill!” A hundred crossbowmen shouted, and they pointed their crossbows at the private soldiers of the powerful clan who rushed over.

“Let go!”

With an order, the crossbowman pulled the trigger, and a hundred powerful crossbow bolts were shot out immediately.

Some of the wealthy private soldiers who rushed over were shot and fell to the ground immediately.

“Second round.” Lu Chang shouted again.

The crossbowmen raised their arrows and fired again, followed by the third round, and hundreds of private soldiers of the rich family fell down again.

After three rounds, the wealthy private soldiers were only 30 meters away from the circular formation.

At this time, Lu Chang shouted: “Pikemen, stab! Prepare your sword and shield hands.”

The three hundred spearmen on the periphery immediately leveled their sharp spears, pointing their spear points at the private soldiers of the noble family who rushed over.
