Chapter 42 Ambush

With the enemy at hand, Sun Shangxiang agreed to stay, but she also asked Fang Lin's two companions to stay and break up the rear with her. This request is equally reasonable and is obviously her bottom line. Fang Lin still wanted to bargain, but Lao Hu and Miss Lin had already agreed. All three of them knew that once Adou was sent to Zhang Fei, Fang Lin would have a high chance of successfully changing his job. For Fang Lin whose weapon was destroyed, the successful transfer would be an extraordinary improvement to the entire team's combat effectiveness. huge!

Fang Lin held the hands of Lao Hu and Lin Yinxiu tightly, looked into their eyes and said solemnly:

"Don't fight forcefully, just fight and retreat. Don't trust Sun Shangxiang too much."

He spoke the word "Qie Zhan" lightly, but the word "Qie Tui" emphasized the pronunciation of the word "Qie Zhan". Of course, the two of them understood it. They all nodded.

Time was running out, Fang Lin took the lead and sprinted into the dense forest by the river, followed closely by Liu Adou and Wuxiao Fu, riding on the butcher's generous shoulders. Liu Adou was really very nervous. Under such circumstances, he was actually coaxed into laughing by the wretched man, which was deeply irritating.

Before Fang Lin left, he had arranged for half of the injured soldiers on the Mengchong ship to be left behind, while the remaining half, old, weak and injured, were to turn the bow of the ship and go down the river. Hoping to confuse and delay for a while, the people who stayed behind followed Sun Ji's instructions and began to lay some simple traps to inflict maximum damage to Le Jin's pursuers by surprise when they caught up.

Although it is winter at this time, due to the relatively high air humidity, the dense forests along the Yangtze River are still very lush, and the grass and trees on the ground are still very lush. The place Sun Shangxiang chose is a long and narrow winding valley, which is quite important. The pass is the only way to go, whether by land or water.

The sound of horse hooves sounded on the opposite road. Everyone's nerves were tense. The nerves of the ambush soldiers were already tense. They picked up the bows in their hands and aimed at the past.

The arrows gleamed coldly in the dense trees, and the trip ropes connected to both sides of the road could be tightened at any time!

Cao Jun was chasing after him by boat, and it was impossible to carry too many cavalry. Therefore, this battle may not be a one-sided defeat. The naval force that was previously unloaded from the Mengchong ship also consisted of more than fifty people, all of whom were well-trained soldiers, and guarded by the female general Sun Shangxiang. Also add Lao Hu and Miss Lin. According to Sun Shangxiang's meaning, it is not only slow, but also trying to give the enemy a severe blow!

The sound of hoofbeats became clearer and clearer, and they finally turned out of the mountain pass. The twenty archers of the Wu Army who were ambushing in the jungle began to slowly and silently draw their bow strings, and their sharp arrows were already aimed at them. However, they were stunned when they saw what came out. The four of them were as panicked as if they were bereaved dogs. Surprisingly, they were the elite armored soldiers of the Soochow Army!

These people were originally to protect Sun Shangxiang's safety personally. They were the most selected and specially trained troops in Soochow. Their original intention was to compete with Cao Jun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. But now, looking at their frightened movements and blue expressions on their horses, it looks like there are hundreds of evil spirits chasing them behind!

Sun Shangxiang's face was as dark as water and he did not give the order to take action. After the four elite armored soldiers rushed into the encirclement. Having seen Sun Shangxiang's pink armor, the leader's face was happy, but immediately turned anxious, and he opened his mouth and said loudly:

"Princess Princess...let's go..."

He wasn't done yet. An arrow came with a rustling sound from the opposite side of the mountain pass. This arrow was actually neither fast nor very tricky, but it gave people a peaceful and natural feeling, as if the arrow should have existed in the time and space when it was shot. The arrow was thrown diagonally in an arc, giving the impression that it was similar to the arrow in the opening sequence of "New Dragon Gate Inn", but more ruthless, accurate and tricky!

The elite armored soldier on the horse had his pupils constricted. He fell directly from the horse, rolled, and leaped three feet horizontally. Just as he took a breath, the arrow miraculously shot in front of him.

---------The arrow shot from the mouth of this elite armored soldier and passed through the back of his head. The iron deer-headed helmet on his head was penetrated directly, and its power remained intact. It shot silently into the big tree behind him. The white tail feathers have been dyed bright red, and they can't help but tremble. The eyes of this elite armored soldier turned in horror, and then gradually became listless and sluggish. The burly and lifeless body slowly fell to the ground, twitching slightly, and finally became motionless.

Before they arrive, the arrow has already taken the lead! Sun Shangxiang's expression changed drastically, knowing that the general who could fire this arrow was definitely not Le Jin! The general sent by Cao Cao to rob and kill someone else turned out to be someone else! Sun Shangxiang suddenly wanted to retreat, but Cao's army was already approaching him. If he fought now, he might still have a slight chance of winning, but if he took the lead in escaping, there would be no chance of survival at all!

The sound of pursuing hooves was as dull as thunder. You can even feel the ground shaking, groaning and cracking under the iron hooves! Then came four tall and powerful black horses. They walked side by side even when galloping. Both the riders and the horses were wearing strong yet lightweight armor. They were elite tiger and leopard riders! What is even more worth mentioning is that the feet of these elite tiger and leopard riders have a fiery red halo, obviously blessed by the formation!

After turning around the mountain pass, a large flag of Cao's army flew in the air, with one word written on it:

open!

Zhang Liao! Surprisingly, it was Zhang Liao, the famous general who was supposed to delay Zhang Fei!

At this critical moment, Sun Shangxiang was thinking about how to escape unscathed, but Lao Hu and Lin Yinxiu thought of one thing at the same time:

"Zhang Liao, who was supposed to stop Zhang Fei, appears here, so who should be the one who can stop Zhang Fei? Where did Le Jin go?"

………………….

The situation faced by Fang Lin was also not easy.

After his Tevez gun was destroyed, the impact on him was considerable. To use a very simple analogy, Lu Bu and Dian Wei are both heroes, right? But without Fang Tian's painted halberd, Lu Bu died in Baimenlou, and without his double iron halberd, Dian Wei was shot directly into a hedgehog. A handy weapon has a huge impact on combat effectiveness!

Zhang Fei's troops were not even seven miles away from where they landed earlier.

Not long after Fang Lin ran out, he saw a large flag of Shu flying in the air, with the words "General of Chariots and Cavalry" written on it. The character "Zhang" is written on the side flag next to it. The two armies are fighting together, and below it seems to be a large millstone with a radius of five or six miles, which is frantically harvesting and devouring human lives.

In the center of the two formations, there was a big black man holding a snake spear eight feet long and riding a black horse, charging towards them. The beard on his face is like a steel needle, just looking at it. There was an overwhelming pressure. Opposite him was a tiger-shaped black man with a broad belly, holding a long knife in both hands, and carrying a meteor barbed hammer on his back, facing Zhang Feifang!

Although the Shu army had a large number of people, Cao's army actually confronted it head-on without showing signs of defeat. It was obvious that they were elite soldiers. Fang Lin saw at a glance that Cao Jun's flag read "Guan Nei Hou Xu". He understood immediately and said in a deep voice:

"It turns out to be him!"

There are only a handful of people in Cao's army who can compete with Zhang Fei, a powerful and famous general. Who else has the surname Xu Diyong except the tiger fool Xu Chu? And the Tiger Guards under his command are the personal troops defending Cao Cao! No wonder you have to be able to fight head-on against an enemy twice your size without falling behind!

Fang Lin thought about it at this time. Of course, he couldn't just rush into the battlefield stupidly. Just because he was wearing the clothes of the Wu army, the Shu army would definitely kill him as soon as he entered. Cao Jun would not let him go either, and Zhang Fei had never met him before. This black guy was as fierce as fire. There's no guarantee that Fang Lin would stab him with a spear before he could say anything, and he would definitely be killed instantly.

Therefore, the best way to win Zhang Fei's trust at present is to find a few certificates of submission. It is undoubtedly much more convenient to speak with facts. With this in mind, Fang Lin carefully observed the battlefield. He ordered the butcher to take good care of Liu Adou, called Bobby and moved towards the rear of Cao Jun's field.

The terrain here is hilly and not suitable for cavalry to charge. The Tiger Guards formed small circular formations at this time. He steadily withstood the Shu army's tidal offensive and put all the horses behind the formation.

After Fang Lin took Bobby with him, he went directly from the rear formation and took off a piece of Cao Jun's armor from the corpse next to him and put it on. Even if there were people left in the rear camp of Cao's army, there were not many of them, and most of them were injured. Although Fang Lin didn't have any weapons, he still had Ya Shen personally teaching him how to fight as a standard. If it was unrealistic to kill them all, it wouldn't matter if they were alone. What's more, there is Bobby's helper?

The master and his servant sneaked next to the horses in an extremely sneaky manner. Fang Lin winked at Bobby, and then used a powerful magic spell on Bobby, entering a state of madness. Bobby's body suddenly swelled up, showing the ferocious appearance of a two-headed Tyrannosaurus Rex looking up to the sky and roaring!

The group of war horses next to them were immediately frightened! Originally, these war horses had undergone special training, so that they would not be afraid even if they encountered the sound of thousands of soldiers fighting on the battlefield. However, war horses were also horses, and they were born with the instinct of herbivores. Bobby, the Tyrannosaurus rex, exuded an aura that was a hundred times more ferocious than the tiger. The war horses immediately ran away in fear, and under the driving force of Bobby, they ran from behind toward the center of the battle group!
