Chapter 38: Trap

Seeing Yu Wenyuan so arrogant, Yang Yong's guards all looked angry, and Yang Shi stepped on Yu Wenyuan several times, pressing Yu Wenyuan's head tightly to the ground, making him unable to open his mouth.

Lu Mulin was secretly shocked when he heard it. The news that Yuwen Yuan accidentally revealed undoubtedly confirmed that the prefect of Hedong, Zhang Xu, and the Yuwen family were connected to the front line. Now the prince is very unsafe in Wanrong County. Although the identity of the prince has not been exposed, the magistrate of Wanrong County Yuwen Cheng knew that his son would definitely have the idea of ​​silence after his son failed to dispatch the army.

On the east side of the river is Shangdang County. Although the prefect of Shangdang County has had contact with Zhang Xu, Shangdang County is stationed in Yuwenxin's cavalry general's mansion, and on the south side is Puzhou. Liang Shiyan, the governor of Puzhou, is also unreliable. On the west side is the Yellow River. I don't know if I can find the tools to cross the river, but I can find it. This place is still dozens of miles away from the Yellow River. It is already at night when I reach the Yellow River and cannot drive the boat. Now it seems that I can only break through to the north.

Understanding this, Lu Mulin immediately suggested to Yang Yong: "Your Highness, this place is too dangerous, so it is better to go north immediately. As long as you pass the Fen River, your highness will be safe without worries."

Yang Yong asked back, "What should Wanrong do? Let him continue to be corrupt?"

Lu Mulin was anxious: "Your Highness, let alone Wanrong County, even if the entire Hedong County is in ruins, it is not as important as Your Highness's safety."

Yang Yong pondered silently. There was no doubt about the problem with Hedong County, but whether it was true as Yuwen Yuan said that there were problems in the whole county. It was easy to leave by himself. If it caused a chain reaction between Hedong County and other prefectures and counties, how could he feel at ease when the Yuchi Jiong rebellion occurred in the Sui Dynasty again?

"Your Highness, make a decision quickly. Everything is based on your safety."

"Hehe, you can't run away." Yuwen Yuan raised his head and spit out the grass mud stuffed in his mouth. He said without fear. Yang Yong told Yuwen Yuan his identity. He originally wanted Yuwen Yuan to reveal the truth, but he did not expect that Yuwen Yuan believed that he had no chance to survive. Not only did he refuse to confess, but he was like a piece of hob meat, seizing the opportunity from time to time to mock him.

"Shut up!" Yang Shi stepped on Yuwen Yuan again, making Yuwen Yuan's mouth unable to open.

Yang Yong waved to the two servants of Yuwen Yuan: "Come here, I have something to ask you."

The two of them kowtowed their heads and made a thud: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are lucky!"

These two men were beaten up by the guards just now and no longer had a temper. At this moment, they were even more frightened when they heard that the person in front of them turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although they had done a lot of bad things with Yuwen Yuan, they also knew that private recruitment of troops was equivalent to rebellion. However, the incident happened now, and they were extremely frightened when they remembered that it was a crime to kill the clan.

These two people kept begging for mercy, but Yang Yong was impatient. He didn't have time to delay at this moment: "Don't worry, as long as you explain what you know, I can naturally protect you from death. However, if you have a little panic, not only you, but also your family will be implicated."

"Really?" Hearing Yang Yong's promise, the two of them quickly raised their heads.

"I am the prince. If you want to kill you, it's like killing an ant. Why do you need to deceive you? I ask you how far is the military camp from here, how long have these people been trained, and what weapons do you have?"

The two of them dared not hide it, and they rushed to say everything they knew like pouring water from bamboo tubes. Yu Wen Yuan was almost angry and could not block the mouths of the two servants. However, he was stepped on by Yang Shi's big feet. Not to mention stopping him, he could not even curse him.

After listening to the two of them, Yang Yong looked around and said, "Everyone, there are only one hundred people lying in the front five miles ahead. Our army can eat these hundred people first. The army of Wanrong County is in the mountains dozens of miles south of the city. This is the west of the city, and there are dozens of miles away from Wanrong. As long as no one is missed, at least for a few days, there is no need to consider the army of Wanrong County. It will be not too late to advance or retreat at that time."

"After the order." Everyone understood Yang Yong's intention. If he fled Wanrong County now, those 100 soldiers who were preparing to ambush themselves would definitely look for him. When he found that Yuwen Yuan was missing, he would definitely pursue him immediately. If he annihilated these 100 people, even if Yuwen Cheng knew that these 100 people had not returned to the military camp, it would be a day later. In addition, it would take at least one day. With two days, even if he escaped, he could be much calmer. Maybe he could also mobilize troops to wipe out Yuwen Cheng in advance.

Another 260 guards are still in the south of the county town. It is not realistic to transfer them immediately. To wipe out these 100 people, the forty guards around Yang Yong can only rely on the forty guards around him. It is very simple to defeat these 100 people, but to wipe out all without missing one person, the difficulties will undoubtedly increase greatly.

The five-mile journey is not far. It only takes a few cups of tea to ride a horse. The other party may not be able to wait or send someone to check it out at any time. The ambush place they chose is very good. Just after leaving the woods, there is only one block between the two mountains not far away, Yang Yong and his party would not want to escape. Although the other party is exposed, Yang Yong cannot go around and ambush the other party. All they can do is set up a trap here and take the initiative to walk into the trap when the other party is impatient. What is beneficial to Yang Yong is that the other party always thinks that he has only more than ten people.

The trap in the middle of the road was quickly dug, and time passed by minute by minute, and the other party was gone. Fortunately, there were few people walking on this road, so Yang Yong didn't have to worry about the trap being exposed.

The hottest time at noon has passed, and the sun began to set, and the sound of horse hooves finally sounded in the woods in front of them. Two men riding horses looked out and revealed. Seeing a carriage parked in the middle of the road, they were slightly stunned. They ran straight towards the carriage without hesitation, lifted the carriage, and saw that it was just an empty car. One person shouted: "It must be that the other party noticed it. Go back and report to the adults."

One man heard this, turned his head and rushed back, while the other man simply dismounted and checked the hoof prints on the ground, then got up to push the carriage away, but as soon as his hand got on the carriage, a sharp arrow shot out of the woods with a "swoosh". The man opened his mouth slightly, making a hoarse sound, and fell to the ground with a thumping black arrow on his neck.

Three figures quickly walked out of the woods. The two carried the body into the woods. The other stepped on the ground a few times, covered the blood, and hid it quickly, as if nothing had happened just now, only a bass sounded from the woods: "There are ninety-nine people."

In less than a moment, a rumbling sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and a group of knights rushed over in a formation of five people side by side. The people all looked anxious. Originally, Yuwen Yuan just said that he would ask them to deal with a rich young man with more than ten guards and attack him with ten times the force of his troops. He would not be able to capture it. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to notice it. If the other party slipped away and Yuwen Yuan fell into the other party's hands, they would not have to go back, otherwise Yuwen Cheng would be unable to kill people.

"Ye." Seeing the carriage stopping in the middle to block the road, the knight who was galloping quickly lifted the reins and stopped the horse. The knight behind him also followed suit. After counting breaths, the horse team that was racing completely stopped, which seemed very training and description.

A leader in the middle shouted, "Push the carriage aside."

Several people jumped off the horse and pushed the carriage hard as they spoke. However, the carriage was obviously empty, but it seemed very heavy. Several people used all their strength to push it. As soon as the carriage moved, there was a loud bang, and then a loud noise came over. A big hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the road just now. Dozens of people were caught off guard and fell into the hole with their horses. Suddenly, smoke and dust rose, and a scream of people and horses came from the hole.

The knights who were lucky enough to fall into the hole behind were staring blankly at the big hole that suddenly came out in front of them. The horse that leader was stepping into the hole with his feet. He heard the horse's yelling several times, but he still struggled out of the edge of the big hole.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy..." The leader escaped from danger and immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Before the leader could finish shouting, countless arrows had shot out of the woods. The leader shouted louder, and several arrows rushed straight to him.

The man reacted quickly, and he hid down the horse and had already rolled to the ground, but his horse was not so lucky. The sound of a few sounds entering the flesh, and the good horse that had just escaped the pit had already fallen to the ground with a few screams of pain.

"Swish, swish!" Countless sharp arrows were still flying in the air. The soldiers who did not fall into the pit screamed and fell off their horses from time to time, but could only look around in a daze. The enemy seemed to be in all directions, but there was no trace of the enemy at all.

"Drop off, dismount, hurry up, hide in the forest."

After losing nearly half of the people, some officers finally reacted and abandoned their horses and wanted to hide in the forest. However, the good position in the forest had already been occupied by Yang Yong's guards. How could they give them a chance? They wanted to enter the forest, but they died faster.

This war was a one-sided massacre. The other party was like a target in the middle of the road. After several rounds of arrows, there was no one standing in the middle of the road. Corpse was everywhere and blood flowed everywhere.
