But if there is an ambush, how can we get out safely?

"Do you think the enemy's ambush will be withdrawn?" Hu Yiqing said suddenly.

"It's hard to say. They don't have accurate information, so naturally they won't retreat easily." The leader's words are very reasonable.

If Zhou Jun had definite information about the day when Hu Yiqing and the others would cut off the food, they would naturally withdraw after the time passed. ; but if the ambush is waiting on the sidelines, then it will naturally be impossible to withdraw for a while.

"Send a few squads to investigate the surrounding area." Hu Yiqing didn't plan to withdraw like this.

"It will take at least half a day." The team leader reminded.

"What's the point, you won't be able to marry a housewife in half a day, why are you so anxious." Hu Yiqing scolded.

"Hey, the emperor said that now there are more women than men, and he encourages men to marry more..." the head of the group said with a lewd smile.

"Get lost! You have the money to marry your concubine if you have made great achievements. If you don't have credit, you marry a fart." Hu Yiqing kicked the head of the group.

Chapter 550: Hu Yiqing stabs the hornet's nest in a daze

After more than an hour, the exact news of the reconnaissance finally came back.

"You really think highly of my old Hu, there are thousands of people." Hu Yiqing scolded several times from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Jun was placed on the right wing of the valley exit, on the side of Hangu Road, which made it clear that he was going to block the rear of the grain.If the people intercepting the food were the Ming army, and they happened to be fleeing in the direction of Hangu Pass, they definitely had no choice but to flee.

"Choose two companies with good legs and feet, go around to their left flank and stab him." Hu Yiqing was going to startle the enemy, to see if the enemy could still hide.

His original intention was to use two companies to mobilize Zhou Jun's ambushes. As for the grain in the valley, Hu Yiqing still wanted to keep it for himself.This is a typical idea of ​​wanting to get money when he sees it, but Hu Yiqing has a thousand calculations, and he didn't count that Zhou Jun's reinforcements just passed by not far from here.

This is a valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain chosen for Zhou Jun's granary is also very good.It's just that a flaw in this valley is in the dense forest to the south, and this is the hiding place of the Ming army.

"Boom..." The two people in charge of beating the grass and scaring the snake started.

Hu Yiqing stared closely at the direction of the battle, and the feeling of tension immediately spread throughout his body.

"Master, Zhou Jun has caught up." Commander Zhao Liangcheng was full of joy.

"Did you tell your people to leave this side alone? The enemy won't catch up, right?" After thinking about it, Hu Yiqing couldn't figure out why he should be nervous. The only thing he was worried about was that the bait he set would be eaten by the enemy. Lost.

"Teacher, don't worry, those two company commanders are very good. They are both the legs of Wang Shan's running dead horse. I promise to get out of the way." Zhao Liangcheng promised.

"Wait for another stick of incense, and we will attack when the ambushes are far away." Hu Yiqing looked at the valley not far away, there were about a few hundred Zhou soldiers there, and they were obviously third-rate troops, and he might not be able to stand up to himself. A charge.

Time passed quickly, and after a stick of incense passed, a thousand Ming soldiers were divided into four teams and leaned up from three directions.The remaining Ming army remained for four weeks as a vigilante and reserve force.

"Whoosh..." The first round of firing was the steel crossbow of the Ming army. The sound was not loud, but the penetrating power was strong. It was stronger than the crossbow of the Zhou army, and the range was 30 meters farther.

The Zhou army guarding the warehouse is indeed a third-rate army. After being attacked, they didn't know how to sound the alarm. Instead, they looked for places to hide everywhere like headless chickens.

This is absolutely stupid behavior. If a team encounters a crisis and doesn't know how to report to the team, the rest will of course be wiped out one by one.

However, hiding hundreds of people also needed a place, and some people naturally gathered together.

"Crack..." Zhou Jun's gun rang, and no one knew who pulled the trigger in a panic. At this moment, Zhou Jun remembered that he was not holding a fire stick in his hand.

"Boom." A grenade exploded.

"You bastard, didn't you say you are not allowed to throw grenades?" Hu Yiqing was furious.Zhou Jun's main force didn't go far, and he didn't intend to make too much noise in this battle.

"It's not us, it's the enemy." One of his subordinates was aggrieved and argued.

"Why do they have grenades?" Hu Yiqing was taken aback, because he did see two big black guys thrown by Zhou Jun from a house while speaking.

The so-called big guy is bigger than the grenade used by the Ming army, and the tail is ignited with a matchlock.It is obviously an imitation Ming army grenade, but the technology is not so good, but the power is not less than the Ming army's own use.

"Master, we have been exposed, let's organize a strong attack!" Zhao Liangcheng shouted at Hu Yiqing at this time.

The sound of the explosion did expose the actions of the Ming army, but it didn't mean that they had no chance at all. As long as they could take this place quickly, they still had a chance to grab food.

The subsequent battle went smoothly. Now that it has been exposed, the Ming army naturally does not need to be cautious, but it has exposed its true combat power.

"Master, more than forty people were killed, and the remaining 400 were all captured." As soon as the battle was over, Zhao Liangcheng hurriedly counted the results.

"Each person took away three days' rations, and burned the rest." Hu Yiqing waved his hand. It was true that he cut off the rations, but the purpose was not for the food, so naturally he would not take the food away.

"No, sir, there's more than just food here." Zhao Liangcheng had a strange look on his face.

"What else?" Hu Yiqing was taken aback.

"A new type of gunpowder and a batch of crude grenades." Zhao Liangcheng leaned into Hu Yiqing's ear and said.

"Is it the one thrown by the enemy just now?" Hu Yiqing just finished asking, Zhao Liangcheng nodded to confirm.

"Boom..." Before Hu Yiqing could figure out how to deal with the aftermath, there was an explosion from Taniguchi to the official road.

"What's going on, is the enemy's pursuer back?" Hu Yiqing's heart skipped a beat, the worst thing he feared was coming.

Fortunately, the Ming army had left a reserve team on the periphery, otherwise the situation might have been even worse, and the enemy might have been surrounded by the enemy.

"Report: A large group of enemy troops is coming from the direction of Tongguan, and the number is very large." A messenger quickly ran over from Taniguchi to report.

"How much is very much?" Hu Yiqing was a little angry.

"It is estimated that there are more than five thousand."

"What?" Hu Yiqing's face turned pale with fright.

If it was just the ambush before, under the fatigue of their running back and forth, Hu Yiqing still had the means to get the troops around him out of the battlefield safely.

However, if the opponent is another enemy army with a larger number of people, it may be delusional to want to escape safely.There is only one way left: fighting.

"Quickly, let each battalion guard one direction and defend on the spot." Hu Yiqing didn't have time to make any battle plan.The Ming army could only rush into battle.

"What about the captives and food?" Zhao Liangcheng asked.

"The grain remains intact, and the prisoners are all tied up." Hu Yiqing went on to say, "Send all the grenades in the warehouse."

Hu Yiqing did not bring a cannon when he came out this time. It would be difficult to fight this battle with flintlock guns and bayonets alone.

"Full score? There are several warehouses." Zhao Liangcheng said.

"Several warehouses? Let's divide them into batches first." Hu Yiqing was taken aback for a moment. After hearing that there were several warehouses, he felt a little relieved.This is a typical example of having food in hand and not panicking.

Li Benshen was riding on the horse, and his heart was full of resentment.

Daming has been triumphant all the way, and the news of the recent recovery of the capital has already reached his ears, but he can't go back at all.

Li Benshen has met Zhu Youjian, and he knows how much Zhu Youjian hates traitors. If he falls into Zhu Youjian's hands, he will probably be cut to pieces.
