Qin Shuhuai returned to his room, full of emotion in his heart.

Whether it's the Demon Sect or Chongzhen, in fact, no one is right or wrong, it's all for the sake of the words "peace in the world". Even Gao Yingxiang, judging from his current trajectory, it is difficult to say that he does not have the heart to serve the country and the people.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the real tumor should be a real thief like Zhang Xianzhong and the hypocrites of the Donglin Party.

But by mistake, the people who want to save the country and the people can't unite together, but instead give those clowns a stage to perform.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, the 20,000 troops of the South Road of the Demon Sect, under the personal leadership of Zhao Wuxian, arrived in Nan'angou.

Cao Huachun found the ambush site is very ingenious, it is located in the middle of the Nan'an ditch, the middle of the road is only about ten meters wide, on both sides of the road is up to eight or nine meters of vertical cliffs, obviously this road is made by manpower to dig the mountain, called "open mountain road". This kind of road is very common in hilly areas, but it is a forbidden road for soldiers.

Zhao Wuxian suffered the loss of the ambush last time, and naturally he didn't want to repeat the mistake this time. Therefore, when he knew that there was a mountain road ahead, he immediately sent more than 20 good men to investigate the mountains on both sides.

In the silent night, more than 20 or so good hands climbed the hills on the left and right sides of the road in waves, and investigated with torches.

They searched very carefully, and more than 10 people were pulled into a horizontal row of more than 10 meters, marching in unison, not letting go of a bush or a forest, and conducting a carpet search.

It is easy to hide one or two hundred people in the mountains at night, but it is tantamount to a fantasy to hide thirty thousand.

Soon, a demon cultist saw the reflection of armor coming from a bush of grass through the faint light of the fire. With just one glance, he could tell that there were a lot of people hidden inside.

He said to the others quietly, "Old brothers, there are many frogs on the mountain, go find some to eat." ”

The others immediately understood what he meant, and immediately responded, "Great, but it's good to beat the tooth sacrifice!"

After saying that, they immediately turned around and left.

At this moment, I heard a sharp crossbow sound from the grass, and it whistled away towards the firelight. These good men all turned their backs to the officers and soldiers in ambush, and they were caught off guard, and five or six fell down in an instant.

"Since there are so many frogs, what are you doing running back?"

Zhao Keli, the head of the East Factory, Li Daliang, the head of the big stall, and others quickly rushed out of the grass, raised their knives and went straight to the remaining six Demon Sect spies.

Dongchang is all old rivers and lakes, and the other party's little trick naturally can't hide it from them. Seeing that the ambush was discovered, of course they had to jump out first and do those people.

The six spies immediately split into two groups, two of them ran away, while the other four stayed behind to fend off the people of Dongchang.

However, more than 20 good players suddenly burst out from Dongchang, how could those four people be able to stop them? Zhao Keli and Li Daliang left the others to kill the four people, while the two of them chased and killed one by one.

Soon, all six people were killed, and they didn't even have time to release the signal fireworks.

After getting rid of the spies, Zhao Keli asked Li Daliang, "Lao Li, what should I do next?" These spies didn't go back, I think the Demon Sect would know that there was an ambush here sooner or later. ”

Li Daliang said, "So what, the Demon Sect is not afraid to go up the mountain to fight us." Rest easy, and wait for the Governor's orders. ”

Zhao Keli nodded and said, "That's right, but the brothers' defense line needs to be rearranged." Next, the Demon Sect could not be stronger than this, nor could it be directly killed from the bottom of the cliff, most of them had to be killed from the gentle slope in the south, or the back of the mountain in the north. ”

Li Daliang said, "You can arrange this matter, Lao Zhao, you are an expert." ”

In the words of the two, there is a feeling that Li Daliang is higher than Zhao Keli. This is exactly the case, although Zhao Keli is the one in charge of the East Factory and is only under the governor on the surface, but Li Daliang's status in the East Factory is still higher than him, if it weren't for Cao Huachun who sent him to form the Jianghe Gang, this Thousand Households must have been done by Li Daliang. Although he is back now, and he is only a big stall leader, no one in the East Factory really regards him as a big stall leader, and they all regard him as the second person after the Governor.

Opposite them, 15,000 led by Cao Huachun himself were also discovered by the Demon Sect spies. Likewise, none of these spies made it back alive.

On the side of the Demon Sect, the spies did not come back, and they quickly came to a conclusion: on the mountains on both sides of the mountain road, there was indeed an ambush.

Zhao Wuxian, Jin Gang, Zhao Ju, Yu Zhu, and several apostles discussed it and immediately made a contingency plan.

They were ready to concentrate their forces and attack the hills on the right side of the road. The whole army was divided into four parts, each with 5,000 men. Five thousand of them came up the gentle slope to the south, while the other 10,000 made a detour to the back of the mountain and then went up in two ways from the back. As for the remaining 5,000 people, they were ambushed on both sides of the gentle slope in the south, because once the Ming army on the left ridge went to the rescue, the closest way was to go up the gentle slope in the south, so 5,000 soldiers were arranged there, on the one hand, the reinforcements of the Ming army could be cut off, and on the other hand, an ambush battle could also be used to avenge the last Silinggou.

After the deliberations, the army immediately moved into action.

In order to ensure victory, this time, Zhao Wuxian, Zhao Ju, the Three Apostles, and the Five Apostles personally led an army of 10,000 to circle the back of the mountain ridge on the right. However, because the area was full of hills, there was no other road except in front of them, so they had to enter a valley and then climb over a hill before they could go around the back of the hill where the officers and troops were ambushed, which took a lot of time.

Jin Gang, Yu Zhu, the Six Apostles and others took another 10,000 people and quickly arrived on the gentle slope to the south of the hill. However, they were not in a hurry to attack, but had to wait for Zhao Wuxian to arrive at the intended location before going up.

Shortly after they arrived, the Six Apostles suddenly heard a slight noise in the grass not far away, and he immediately burst into the grass like an arrow off the string, and immediately a muffled sound was heard in the grass.

When the six apostles came out again, they were already carrying a person in their hands, and from the way they were dressed, they could tell at a glance that this was Dongchang Fanzi.

The six apostles threw the man to the ground, and then asked in a cold voice, "Do you want to live?"

Since he had caught a live one, he naturally wanted to ask something, such as how many Ming troops were in ambush and where their exact location was.

I saw the corners of the fanzi's mouth rise strangely, and then laughed, and suddenly slapped his head with his right hand, and died instantly.

The six apostles were slightly surprised, and snorted coldly, "It's a man!"

Zhao Keli arranged several spies on the gentle slope to the south, and this captured spy was a small stall leader in Dongchang, because he wanted to see how many people the Demon Sect had gathered on the gentle slope before leaving, and the other spies had already withdrawn as soon as they saw the Demon Sect coming.

These spies immediately reported to Zhao Keli that the Demon Sect army had arrived on the side of the gentle slope, and the number was unknown for the time being. But they stopped after the gentle slope, as if waiting for something.
