In the dark night, more than thirty war horses, lighting their torches, dashed through the canyon with great force.
However, the more than 500 killers led by Zheng Guanzhe lay quietly in the grass, waiting, and did not pay attention to the more than 30 cavalrymen who rushed past.
Obviously, this is an outpost, trying to get information.
In the dense forest in the distance, there are also more than a hundred killers in black lying in ambush. They are riding on war horses and waiting quietly. In the nearby mountains, there are also people who are looking for news, running back and forth in the dense forest.
Zheng Guanzhe was wearing a raincoat and holding a knife in his hand. There was no expression on his face. He had been blinded by hatred and wanted to kill Li Ke to avenge his family's hatred.
This is the hatred of two generations. His sister Zheng Guanyin was imprisoned in the palace, and his brother-in-law Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin. Even his nephew was not spared. His father died of depression during the coup.
And Li Shimin's son, this little beast, was even more ruthless than his father. He wiped out the entire Zheng clan!
The only ones alive now are him and an elder who was imprisoned in Chang'an City.
The clan elder who followed him to escape died in Chunhua County. He was shot to death in order to cover his escape.
"Today, King Shu must die..."
"Young patriarch, are you just going to let these people pass? Is the King of Shu hiding among these people?" asked the middle-aged man next to him.
"No, King Shu is afraid of death. These people are just forwards, specializing in finding out the truth."
"The King of Shu is definitely hiding in the large army behind."
"Send the order and wait for a large army to arrive. Fire thousands of arrows at once. Use up all the arrows you bring, and then charge to kill. The people the King of Shu brings with him are all top masters. You must not take it lightly."
"yes……"
About two hills away from the valley, a middle-aged man wearing a ghost-head mask also got the news that the forward troops of the King of Shu had passed through the valley.
Zheng Guanzhe could let these people come over, but they didn't want to keep them. This time the master issued a death order.
The people brought by the king of Shu were not spared, and they were all killed.
The middle-aged man came out of the woods on horseback and shouted: "Surround on both sides, charge and capture the thirty cavalrymen."
In front of the woods is an open river valley, which is enough to rush over and kill the forward troops of the King of Shu.
The middle-aged man wearing a ghost mask rushed out first, followed by more than a hundred cavalry, and immediately rushed towards the more than 30 people led by Ashina.
The Ashina Association gritted its teeth and rushed through the valley, and finally came to the flat and open valley area. However, he grew up in the grassland and had always lived in war, so he immediately smelled the danger.
He had never thought before that someone would ambush and assassinate the King of Shu here.
This was the territory of the Tang Empire, and it was also controlled by the Longxi Li family. He didn't know about the conflict of interests between the Longxi Li family and the royal family.
"Warriors, rush forward, don't stop..."
The subordinates behind him heard Ashina's roar and also had a premonition that this place was very dangerous.
He immediately hit his horse and continued to charge forward. As long as he rushed out of this river valley, even if he ran away, he would have a place to escape.
In this place, if an archer is ambushed, there is only one way to die.
It was a pity that the deafening sound of horse hooves soon came from ahead.
Ashina's eyes widened, and he was extremely angry. He might have been plotted against by that bastard King of Shu, but this was not the time to be entangled. He roared: "Don't stop, kill over..."
When cavalry charges, the most taboo thing is to run away, which can only be taken advantage of. Moreover, it is a night battle, and it is impossible to tell who is who. You can only charge, so as to have a slim hope of survival.
At this moment, he hated Li Bingdao with all his heart. This sixth man deceived him that there were bandits here and asked him to go explore the road first. Moreover, the King of Shu made cakes for him along the way, which were delicious and delicious, and he also distributed golden beans. Who could he do? Mom thought that there was a cavalry ambush here.
He really thought they were bandits before, but now he heard the sound of horse hooves and realized that these were not bandits at all, but elite cavalry.
The two sides soon collided with each other, and immediately they were knocked upside down, followed by a fight.
Ashina was chopped off his horse with a knife. The man drew the knife so fast that he didn't even react.
As for Ashina's more than thirty cavalry, after a charge, only three or five were left, but they were still turned back, caught up and directly cut down the horses.
Similarly, in the dark night, the other party did not get any benefits. They also suffered heavy casualties, one hundred and thirty people, and only more than eighty people were left intact.
For the middle-aged man wearing a mask, the losses caused by such a charge are a bit stupid, but he must do it. The people of Shu King Li Ke cannot leave a single person alive. This is the order issued by the master.
Facing the cavalry, you can only charge and fight. Once you escape, you can't catch up.
The master said that everyone present must die, including those of the Zheng family.
Only in this way can the master protect himself and pass all the responsibilities to Zheng Zheng Guanzhe.
At the entrance of the valley, Li Bingdao saw Ashina rushing through the valley, but there was no movement. According to the intelligence, the remnants of the Zheng family were hiding in front, and there were people from the Longxi Li family behind.
Li Bingdao had a smile on his face. It seemed that the other party had been fooled.
For Li Bingdao, he didn't care much whether Ashina died or not. Those whom His Highness cared about would be tricked to death sooner or later.
What he cared about was that letting Ashina pass in front of the ambush showed that he had learned that there was an ambush and wanted to retreat. This was enough.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and going to the tiger mountains is not the way of the prince, so the prince will definitely run away.
Even if he waits until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...even if he takes a detour, he will never go through here.
Li Bingdao's purpose was to lure these people out to chase him, and then send them a gift package for a one-day trip to the Western Paradise.
Yin Hu has led the shadow members, as well as a thousand Buddhist monks and more than 2,000 Taoists, to form a semi-encirclement around a hundred miles around.
What they are waiting for is nothing more than an arrow piercing the clouds and thousands of troops coming to meet them.
"Everyone dismount and bury all the gunpowder bags and thunderbolts you brought with me nearby." Li Bingdao pondered for a moment and then gave the order.
Everyone on the war horse immediately dismounted, carefully took out the thunderbolts or gunpowder packets wrapped in cowhide, and began to dig holes and fill them at the mouth of the valley, and then connected them with wires.
After doing all this, Li Bingdao got on his horse and shouted: "Leave three people to light the fire, and the rest got on their horses and retreated. They retreated one mile and spread out in a charging posture, preparing to hunt down the remnants who escaped and ascended to heaven."
The three people who stayed behind quickly dug a bunker, climbed in, and then waited.
In the valley.
"Young Master, Young Master, it's not good, the large troops behind did not catch up, they are preparing to retreat..." The person who inquired about the information reported back to Zheng Guanzhe.
Zheng Guanzhe's expression changed instantly. Damn King Shu, he actually wanted to run away?
Today is the best opportunity. If you miss today, you may not have the chance to assassinate the King of Shu.
It would be nice not to be chased by that living King of Hell in the future.
"Send the order, everyone mounts their horses, chase and kill..."
At this time, the man wearing the ghost mask came to Zheng Guanzhe and said coldly: "Why let them go? We agreed not to leave any one behind."
Zheng Guanzhe said angrily: "If you don't let them pass, how can you lure the King of Shu in?"
"It's all your fault. I finally let them pass, but you killed all their pathfinders. It's fine now. That little beast King of Shu is going to run away."
The ghost-faced middle-aged man was also shocked. Is the King of Shu trying to escape?
But when he killed, he was two miles away from here. How did the King of Shu know?
Ghost Face was extremely confused, but thinking of his master's order, he still said: "Young Master Zheng, don't you dare to pursue me. If the King of Shu doesn't die this time, there will be endless troubles..."
"Not only will you all die, but you will also implicate my master. The sky in Longxi will completely change."
Zheng Guanzhe gritted his teeth and said: "Most of my people don't have horses. Now this is the only way. You take my cavalry and your cavalry to pursue them, and I will come right away with my men."
The ghost-faced man in black hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about what his master said, he nodded.
Ghost Face led the cavalry out of the valley entrance quickly and chased Li Bingdao. Zheng Guanzhe also led the remaining killers and ran outside on foot.
"Rumble..."
The deafening sound of horse hooves came from the valley, and the three people hiding in the bunker immediately became alert.
With the faint moonlight, they stared at the mouth of the valley with their eyes. Once the horse showed up, they would light it, otherwise they would not have time to explode.
