Chapter 238: The Native Woman Being Cannon Fodder 19
After confirming the ambush plan, Gu Yeling immediately led his subordinates to meet up with the troops that arrived later, and rushed to the ambush site to set up a trap. Everything was ready, but after waiting patiently for a day, they still could not see the enemy.
"Didn't the sentry who was gathering information say that their destination was here? How come we haven't seen anyone after waiting for a whole day? There are too many bugs in this broken place!" Lieutenant General Pan said impatiently.
Deputy General Pan, who was about to continue complaining, immediately shut his mouth when he saw Gu Yeling looking at him, and swallowed the words he was about to complain.
Gu Yeling also frowned at this time. Logically speaking, there was only this one road in this section, and they had ambushed in advance, so there was no chance of exposing their vision.
Thinking of this, Gu Yeling stood up and prepared to go to the intersection ahead to check. Seeing General Gu getting up and leaving, Deputy General Pan, who was really a little impatient, also stood up and followed.
Gu Yeling glanced indifferently at Deputy General Pan who was following behind him.
"Hey! General Gu, I'm worried about you, right? So I'm here with you. If anything happens, I can help, right?" Looking at the look in Gu Yeling's eyes, Lieutenant General Pan scratched his head, with an expression that said, "I'm worried about you."
Ignoring the funny Deputy General Pan, Gu Yeling went straight to the intersection, looking ahead with a sharp gaze, as if thinking about something.
"Pass the order down, wait patiently, do not expose your vision, and be prepared to fight at any time." Gu Yeling called over a messenger soldier and signaled him to pass on his order.
"Could it be that they changed their route, or did they realize in advance that we had set an ambush?" Lieutenant General Pan began to mutter again.
After waiting for a while, there was finally some progress ahead. It seemed that a team was coming. However, the team moving forward did not look like an army, but rather like a group of businessmen doing business.
"General, is the news wrong? I don't see any Shu army, but there is a merchant caravan coming. Looking at the appearance of this caravan, it doesn't look like there is an army traveling behind them." After observing for a while, Lieutenant General Pan turned around and said to Gu Yeling beside him.
Ignoring Vice General Pan's words, Gu Yeling carefully looked at the merchant team, then hurried back to the rear and ordered: "All troops, listen to my orders, be on alert, be ready for battle, and be ready to attack at any time."
Deputy General Pan on the side looked confused at this time. Didn't he see the Shu army? Why did General Gu start to be on guard? However, he still obeyed the order and became alert. In the army, the general's orders were obeyed unconditionally.
Just when Lieutenant General Aipan was secretly wondering, the caravan suddenly stopped halfway through the journey, retreated to the side of the road and began to repair.
"Hey! Why are they stopping in the middle of the road to rest?" Even the usually calm Deputy General Pan started to doubt it. This was indeed a little unreasonable. Businessmen and travelers are always in a hurry to get on the road and will never rest in the middle of the journey, let alone when it is not safe. They usually choose post stations or inns in the county to rest, so as to ensure maximum safety.
"They are not a caravan. Look carefully at their boots, the way they keep probing, the way they walk, the way they line up, and the way they subconsciously put their hands on their waists. This is the defensive posture of soldiers who have undergone formal training. The arms on the waist are for easy access to the swords at the waist. So they are not a caravan, but a reliable scouting team of the Shu army. Give orders, everyone be careful and alert, the person we are waiting for is here, remember not to leave any alive, so as not to alert the enemy."
"Okay! They are finally here, don't worry, General. I will make sure they never come back, and no one will be left alive." After finally having a chance to have a big battle, Lieutenant General Pan, who had been suppressed for too long, finally perked up and was eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Shu army.
As expected, it was just as Gu Yeling expected. After resting for an hour, the fake merchant team below confirmed that there was no movement around, so a figure quickly walked back. Not long after, the Shu army team appeared in sight.
Just as the team below reached a corner of the valley, this was also the attack position determined by Gu Yeling. As long as they reached this position, they would start the attack.
Following Gu Yeling's order, the rumbling figures headed towards the team below. Gu Yeling had already prepared a trap, and had already arranged large rocks on the edge of the valley, which could serve as their cover and also as a weapon of great destructive power.
As the rocks rolled to the ground, most of the team below were killed or injured in an instant. The remaining survivors panicked and rode their horses to escape.
"Charge!!!" At this moment, Gu Yeling led his team to charge in, and killed several enemy soldiers as soon as they met. Unlike the locals who were eager to retreat, the team led by Gu Yeling became more and more courageous, and they were invincible.
"Retreat, retreat quickly." Seeing that the situation was not right, the enemy general quickly gave the order.
But just as he finished speaking, he found that the sentry on the side rushed over and reported: "General, there are a large number of troops waiting at the rear intersection. I think they are well prepared. We are in the center of the enemy's encirclement."
"What!!! Pass the order down, the remaining teams should prepare to break out."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Gu Yeling leading his troops to kill him. With his superb swordsmanship, his soldiers fell one by one wherever he passed, killing everyone in his way.
On the Shu Army side, after seeing Gu Yeling, who was like a demon descending, and more than half of their brothers were killed or injured, the remaining soldiers had already lost their will to fight. However, the soldiers led by Gu Yeling became more and more courageous, and it didn't take long before the Shu Army, which had lost its will to fight, was wiped out.
"Deputy General Pan, the King of Shu is still unsure of my exact location. You should just disguise yourself as the Shu army and go to the place they have decided. The King of Shu should have already entered the city. I am trying to find a way to sneak into the capital. When the time comes, you should cooperate with me to coordinate from inside and outside." After giving instructions to Deputy General Pan, Gu Yeling immediately stood up and left. Now time is urgent, and the emperor's condition is really not good. He really doesn't dare to be sure what Concubine Wu and the King of Shu will do.
When he arrived at the city gate, Gu Ye Ling realized that it was probably due to his previous actions that the city gate was heavily guarded. Gu Ye Ling tried several times but failed to find a chance to enter the city. Seeing that there was really no way to sneak in, Gu Ye Ling used a trick to cause some chaos at the city gate. When the defense was loose, he took the opportunity to sneak in and went straight to the Taifu Mansion.
