Seeing the letter handwritten by the king of Payasai in the messenger's hand, Lati decided to return home with his troops after only hesitating for a moment.

Although it is said that it is a great achievement to help Jiaozhi win the war, if the Lancang Kingdom itself is seriously damaged, then his so-called credit will all become a stain, and what is even worse is that the old dragon clan, who has always been unwilling to be left behind, is afraid that he will take the opportunity to make trouble.

General Latti, who didn't want to give people a tongue, hurriedly ordered the army to turn around and retreat quickly, and he didn't even go to inform Jiaozhi of his behavior, which shows how anxious he was in his heart.

Compared with only traveling twenty miles a day when he came, in the process of rushing back to Yinglou City, the speed of the army is much faster, after all, no one knows what kind of changes will occur in the Lancang Kingdom in the last day, maybe now the mercenaries have already fought with the domestic army.

It was also when General Lati returned with his troops, on the way they came, in a place called Wuhe Forest, at this time the mines were being watered by the summer rain.

In the thick woods of Wuhe Forest, it was Chen Bo, the commander of the second battalion of the Second Regiment of Leng Feng, who was hidden.

He arrived here with more than 10,000 fighters three days earlier. After the ambush was chosen, the intensive mine-digging began, and for a time countless deep holes were dug on both sides of the road, and a full 3,000 mines were placed.

In less than half a day, the mines were successfully placed, and the next time was to return to everyone, and more than 10,000 troops lurked on the spot along the dense forest of the Ulin River, and began a long wait.

They brought a full 10 days' worth of rations, mainly instant noodles, ham sausages and all kinds of canned food, and every soldier slept in addition to eating, a scene that was not leisurely. It's just that Chen Bo, as the commander, is really difficult to really sleep, and from time to time he will look into the distance to see if the scouts have any new information transmitted back.

"It's raining." In the dense forest, I don't know who snorted softly, and then Chen Bo looked up at the sky with his voice, and saw the appearance of a drizzle falling from the sky.

"Okay." Seeing the drizzle first fall on the trees, and then drip onto himself under a burst of flow, Chen Bo couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly.

Before, I was worried about whether the mines planted would leave some traces and be discovered. But now that the rain is falling, then nothing is a problem, it will be the best cover-up, and in such weather, even the most powerful scouts will not be able to detect what is wrong.

Not long after the light rain fell, a figure in the distance was rapidly approaching the dense forest. It was the scouts who had been dispatched, and with his return there was also the latest news, that is, Lati had returned with an army of 100,000.

"It's damn weather." Riding on a horse and looking up at the sky, Lati couldn't help but scold.

It's no wonder that Latty is so angry, just look at the morale of the army. The nearly 100,000 troops who were originally arrogant and wanted to show their strength were thinking about making meritorious deeds, and suddenly ordered them to turn around and return, which was originally a discouraging thing. However, it also rained lightly in the sky, and although it was not very heavy, it still soaked through the soldiers' clothes for a long time, and the sticky feeling made people very uncomfortable.

The road also became muddy with the continuous light rain, and every step I took was a little heavier than usual.

This feeling is even more unpleasant. The soldiers of the entire army also became much more depressed as a result. From a distance, the army that was walking with its head bowed would be cursed from time to time, and they would complain about the sky.

It's just that he clearly saw that the morale of the army was low, but General Lati couldn't do anything. With such weather and such an order, even if he is a powerful orator, I am afraid that he will not be able to raise the morale of the army at this moment.

I just hope that I can get to Yinglou City sooner, enter the city to change into dry clothes, eat hot meals, and sleep well, maybe it will be much better.

"The whole army accelerates, striving to enter the city at night to rest." Thinking that it was only less than forty miles away from Yinglou City, Lati was ruthless, gritted his teeth and said to the entourage beside him.

Soon the order was conveyed. Although it was said that they did not have a good rest along the way from the beginning of the return of the army, considering that they could sleep well after entering the city, the soldiers did not complain too much, but only increased their pace in silence.

At this moment, no one thought about whether they would encounter an ambush.

After all, I didn't see a single enemy on the way here, and now I will return to the city immediately, and it is only forty miles away from Yinglou City, and it is such bad weather, and the sky is gradually getting dark, where will anyone attack them at this time?

Just as they have a hard time walking, isn't that true of the enemy who wants to attack them?

It is precisely under such erroneous thinking that the nearly 100,000 troops not only do not have the slightest sense of prevention, but on the contrary, because of the rainy weather, the distance between the front army, the middle army, and the rear army is widening.

It was slowly getting darker, perhaps because of the rain, which made it much darker than usual, which made people feel irritated by it, but all this did not affect the mercenaries.

They were originally hiding in the rainforest, and the big trees above them kept them out a lot of wind and rain. In addition, we have been sleeping all day except eating, and everyone is in good spirits. At this moment, this elite army, which can be called an elite army, is staring at the Lancang army from far and near, and even their front army has passed in front of them, but none of the soldiers have the intention of rushing out to fight.

Even the 10,000 Jiaozhi mercenaries, under the strict orders of General Hong Jin at this moment, did not dare to make a single sound, as if they were afraid of causing some movement to provoke the anger of those mercenaries who killed people without blinking. Not to mention, before the war, Chen Bo, the battalion commander of the mercenary army, said that as long as everyone behaves in accordance with the rules, when this battle is over, all soldiers participating in the war, regardless of whether they have made meritorious contributions or not, can each get at least twenty taels of silver.

Twenty taels of silver is equivalent to the annual income of ordinary people in Jiaozhi. With such a reward in front of you, everyone will naturally be more obedient than they are.

Naturally, if it is a reward of 200,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that only the rich mercenaries can pay it at will without the slightest distress.

The darkness continued, and half of the advance army of the Lancang State had already passed through Wuhelin, including the 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 marksmen. This is also the main force and soul of this army of nearly 100,000 people.

"Everybody ready." Through the night vision binoculars in his hand, he saw the front army that walked over clearly, and he saw the head

The five thousand cavalry were about to enter the muddy-looking area, but there was actually a deep trench that was the best weapon against the cavalry. As the commander, Chen Bo raised his right hand high.

Even though it was a little dark, the raised right hand was still seen by many people, and their breathing became tense at this moment, and then they were engrossed, concentrating, waiting for the arm to fall, and then launch a swift attack.

According to the meaning of Battalion Commander Chen Bo, it is impossible to fight hard with the enemy in this battle, and only need a long-range shot not far away to cause chaos in the enemy's army, and then let them step on the mines on their own, so that the chaos can be greater. As long as their morale is completely suppressed, then is the time to come forward to clean up the mess.

General Lat, who was unaware of all this, was still on his horse and walked forward. As a general, he is still very proud to walk in the forefront, but he really doesn't know that his seemingly exemplary approach is actually a killer for the burial of nearly 100,000 troops. After all, if he, the main general, hadn't had an accident at the first time, it would have been impossible for the military spirit below to fall to the lowest point in such a short period of time. "Peng..."

A trench nearly six meters deep and eight meters wide was trampled down, and the cavalry walking in the first row fell into it one by one like dumplings before they could figure out what was happening. Then there was the second row, where General Lati was in the ranks, and he only felt that his eyes were suddenly empty, and the knights in front of him suddenly disappeared, and then the same body was crooked, and he fell into the ditch with a thud. And then there's the third row, the fourth row...

That is, the volume of the trench is limited, otherwise, at least hundreds of cavalry will jump into the ditch and lose their combat effectiveness. But even if it only fell into hundreds of people, the consequences were considerable. Because their commanding general and several captains around the general entered the ditch together, and at this moment they were still pressed by some cavalry and horses that fell behind, and it was not at all a ground that could struggle in a short time.

At the beginning of this chaos, a dazzling light suddenly rose into the sky, and a very shiny red flare streaked across the dark night sky, marking that the battle horn had begun to be blown at this moment.

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu..."

"Horn Horn..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The guns rang out in all directions, and the flames that erupted from the muzzles of the guns suddenly appeared in all directions, dealing a fatal blow to the soldiers of the Lancang Kingdom who were in a hurry to hurry.

No one could have imagined that there would be an enemy here.

No one could have imagined that here would be ambushed by the enemy.

No one could have imagined that the attack would come so suddenly and violently...

Originally, the Wuhe forests were on both sides of the road, and the straight-line distance was only about 500 meters. When all kinds of bullets came like flying, when the figures suddenly fell to the ground on this rainy night, the army was in chaos.
