Chapter two hundred and thirty seventh ambush
During the past two days, although Yan Liqiang and other guards have been staying in Huijiaji, Liang Yijie's attention to the Black Wind Thieves has not relaxed.
After the Black Wind Thieves retreated that night, although Liang Yijie had no way to track the Black Wind Thieves to determine the specific location and location of the Black Wind Thieves, he sent guards to watch the roads that could be passed around the Huijiaji every day, paying attention to whether the Black Wind Thieves would cunningly circumnavigate on the road ahead of them, setting up an ambush and caught them off guard.
In fact, after the Black Wind Thieves retreated that night, there was no sign of bypassing the Hui Family Ji and running to them on the road ahead to continue setting up an ambush.
The priest from the Shatu Alliance Fire God Sect was dead, and Ali Gujin was also dead. The Black Wind Thieves suffered consecutive setbacks in two actions, causing losses to the generals. In this case, the Black Wind Thieves, who had no leader, naturally suffered greatly from their ability to act. Perhaps the internal chaos had already been in chaos and there were a lot of disputes.
Therefore, when Yan Liqiang and his friends left the Hui Family, although the Black Wind Thieves did not appear, one thing is certain that the Black Wind Thieves' team must be behind Sun Bingchen and their team.
Leaving Huijiaji, Yan Liqiang and his next target is Fengming City in Lanzhou.
Fengming City is only more than 400 miles away from Huijiaji. Although this distance seems not far from Map Mountain, in fact, because the road outside the wild is difficult, you need to cross mountains and ridges. Even if you ride a rhino dragon horse, you will need to walk in the wild for three days to reach Fengming City.
This section of the road is the most difficult part of Yan Liqiang and his team's itinerary. This road is vast and sparsely populated, and there are wilderness everywhere. At the same time, this road is also a territory that Black Wind Thieves can rage over the years. Once Yan Liqiang and his team pass Fengming City, the more people go east, the more prosperous the place is. One after another, the Han Empire's garrisons are everywhere. In those places, Black Wind Thieves will never dare to go in. Therefore, if Black Wind Thieves are unwilling to continue to seek Yan Liqiang and the others, they can only catch up with Yan Liqiang and the others on the road from Hui family to Fengming City.
Since we know this, the place where Yan Liqiang and his friends set up the traps is naturally on this road.
Such a place was soon found. On the evening of the day when Yan Liqiang and his friends left Huijiaji, a canyon appeared in front of Yan Liqiang and his friends. When passing through the canyon, Yan Liqiang kept looking up at the mountains on both sides of the canyon.
This canyon is not as dangerous as Wolf Tooth Valley, but it is also a key pass on this road. The valley bottom of the entire canyon is less than a hundred meters wide and only twenty or thirty meters narrower. The valley is rugged and weeds are overgrown. On both sides of the canyon are a ridge of uneven heights. Those ridges are bare and have nothing except stones. The lowest point is fifty or sixty meters, and the highest one is almost one hundred meters. It is absolutely impossible to rush up from the canyon on a rhino dragon horse. In many places, even ordinary people are difficult to climb up with bare hands.
Walking in the valley on the rhino dragon horse, Yan Liqiang looked around for a while, and with his legs clamped the rhino dragon horse, he rushed to the middle of the team, walked side by side with Liang Yijie, and the two people riding on the horse exchanged their eyes. Both of them had already seen what the other party was thinking.
"Brother Liang, let's just go here. Let's choose a place here. If the Black Wind Thieves dare to chase them, we will teach them a hard lesson here!" Yan Liqiang said to Liang Yijie.
Liang Yi nodded, "Let's go and ask what the adults mean!"
"good!"
The two of them rode the Rhino Dragon Horse to Sun Bingchen.
Sun Bingchen was also looking at the terrain and mountainous landscape here. Seeing Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie riding over together, they already knew what the two of them wanted to ask, so there was no need for the two of them to speak. Sun Bingchen nodded, "If you set up an ambush here, you can indeed gain the advantage of the geographical advantage. If you want to do it, just do it. We will find a place outside the valley tonight, and you are ready!"
Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie both nodded.
Perhaps even Yan Liqiang himself did not notice it. Unconsciously, Sun Bingchen's reliance on him gradually compared him with Liang Yijie.
Since we decided to fight an ambush here, the rest is simple, there is only one thing, that is, to find a place suitable for ambush in this valley, and the criteria for selecting ambush locations are also very simple. One is to give full play to the advantage of the geographical advantage, but there are condescending Black Wind Thieves who are chasing Black Wind Thieves to the greatest extent. The second is that if the momentum is wrong, it will be convenient for everyone to retreat immediately and will not let the Black Wind Thieves catch up immediately.
Under the requirements of these two standards, Yan Liqiang and others did not spend much time finding a place suitable for ambush in this canyon.
The height of that place is more than 80 meters from the ground of the canyon, and the mountain walls on both sides are steep. Not to mention riding a horse, even if a person wants to climb up, it is basically impossible for him to climb up, not to mention being a master. From Yan Liqiang's own perspective, if he does not use the tools, it will be difficult for him to climb up.
The roads in the canyon became winding and narrow there, and were winding for four or five miles long. Eight horses were a little crowded when walking together. If you wanted to climb to the ridges on both sides, you could only climb up from the back of the ridge by bypassing the winding canyon.
Yan Liqiang and his friends set up the camp where they stayed overnight on a hillside outside the canyon. After setting up a tent for the night, they left more than ten guards and more than ten wounded soldiers to do it in the camp where they stayed overnight. They cooked and lit smoke. Then less than seventy people were left, including Sun Bingchen and Ye Tiancheng, rode their horses back and walked around a long circle, and left the horses in a ravine outside the valley, leaving several guards to take care of them. The group of people all climbed onto the ridge with their things, ready to ambush, and waited for the arrival of the Black Wind Thieves.
Originally, Liang Yijie meant that he would keep Sun Bingchen in the camping place without having to take risks here, but Sun Bingchen rejected it, and Sun Bingchen said that he would come and see it in person.
When Sun Bingchen was coming, Ye Tiancheng was naturally not at ease to stay in the camp. He was afraid of making any mistakes, so he brought Ye Tiancheng over here just now, which was so convenient for the supervision.
After everything was arranged, the group of people found a place to rest on the ridge, covered their heads and whispered dry food, did not ignite the fire, and made no noise, and followed the command of all actions. Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the Black Wind to come to the door.
The sky slowly became dark, and the Black Wind Thieves were still missing. Yan Liqiang just sat behind a stone, took out the horned python bow, and took care of the bowstring.
The bow string of the horn python bow is made of the tendons of the horn python, so maintenance is very simple. You only need to use the fat on the horn python and gently wipe the bow string. After absorbing the fat on the horn python, the bow string of the horn python bow can remain tight and energetic, and not afraid of water vapor corrosion.
"Yan Guard, do you think... will those black wind thieves come?" At some point, a young guard quietly touched Yan Liqiang's side, sat down with the stone beside Yan Liqiang, and asked Yan Liqiang a question in a voice with an unconcealed deep hatred.
Yan Liqiang raised his gaze from the bowstring of the horn python bow, and glanced at the guard who came up to him to ask questions. The guard was Hu Haihe.
