The hunter guide told me that there is indeed a rugged path here, which is used by people to collect medicine and hunt. The locals know it.

The mountain trail is relatively difficult to walk. It goes around the mountainside, with cliffs on both sides.

The ancient post road on the top of the mountain is a thoroughfare for carriages and horses.

"Well, let's go around this trail. However, since the locals know this trail, the enemy may also have an ambush here. With the military level of the Japanese, ambushes will be set up on the ancient roads and mountainside trails. Be careful.

After sailing the Wannian Ship, we will send out scouts first, focusing on reconnaissance on the side slopes of this winding trail."

Chen Tianhua's thinking was very clear, and everyone happily followed the instructions.

On the royal road in the mountains, the spring was bright, the sun was shining, and the scenery was very beautiful. The team started marching again and gradually entered the fork halfway up the mountain.

Continuing walking up, you will naturally enter the ancient valley road, turn down into the dense forest, and enter a mountain trail, which is the Yangchang Mountain Trail led by the guide.

Of course, the troops turned onto the rugged winding trail, and Chen Tianhua sent a baggage team to clear the way ahead.

Because the enemy's main target is himself, and the baggage train comes first, even if there is an enemy ambush on the trail, the enemy cannot be stupid enough to attack the baggage train, thus exposing his ambush point.

In addition, the baggage train is a non-combat order. Although each team member is also a soldier and is equipped with weapons, their combat effectiveness is weaker than that of the combat unit. Letting them go first will actually reduce the burden in the fierce battle later.

While sending out the baggage team, the scouts abandoned their horses and searched and reconnoitred on the dense hillside along the winding path.

Everyone thinks these measures are wonderful, and I am afraid only the Major General can think of them.

The mountain wind blew, and the grass and trees swayed gently, rolling into the path halfway up the mountain. The knights suddenly felt a chill on their necks.

This mountain road is of varying widths, with dense vegetation on the slopes and towering trees blocking people's sight. The team of more than a hundred people is still slow, sparse and long.

Chen Tianhua found that the path was winding and rugged, making it impossible for the war horses to run, so he ordered everyone to dismount and walk, with people on the outside relying on the horses' bodies as cover, which was a special means of crossing the border.

At this time, the team gradually entered the middle of the mountain road, and scouts came back one after another to report that several masked men in black clothes were spotted on the hillside 200 meters away.

It means that this is the enemy's ambush area.

Based on the dense mountainous terrain, Chen Tianhua believed that this place was not suitable for the deployment of large troops and heavy weapons. It should be a close-quarters assassin-style sneak attack. This possibility was relatively high.

Having basically figured out the enemy's ambush area, we can now be on target.

Chen Tianhua convened Fei Ge, Gu Zhunian and others to discuss, and decided to let Gu Zhunian lead more than 30 members of his Investigation Division action team, plus more than ten scouts, to crawl over on foot from the hillside and attack them from the enemy's side.

He, the Flying Pigeon Guards, and a combat platoon from the assault battalion led all the horses slowly on the mountain trails. If they were attacked by the enemy, they could use the horses and trees as cover to resist shooting.

Everyone thought this strategy was good, so they made arrangements separately.

There were no gunshots or shouts of death from the front, indicating that the baggage train had safely passed the ambush area. The post soldiers returned and reported that they were camping at the Yingpan Pass, preparing to meet the major general's large force.

"Okay! The first step of our strategy has been successful. The second part is the key. Pass the order. The team should keep a certain distance and walk without chaos. The bullets and bayonets are loaded and ready to fight at any time." Chen Tianhua began to get excited, and the adrenaline gradually

Accelerate secretion and put the body into a fighting state.

"clear."

Everyone looked grim, and the hands holding the gun handles were sweating.

When the team continued to move forward and had just traveled more than a hundred meters, suddenly, countless bullets were fired from the bushes on the cliff to the right of the team, with smoke coming out of the muzzle and a sharp sound piercing the air.

"Bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The dozens of war horses in front were unable to dodge and were immediately shot in the body. They wailed and vomited blood and fell to the ground twitching.

"Ouch..."

"Get down quickly and fight back!"

"..."

Horses neighed and people screamed, and the whole team in the mountain road suddenly broke out into some commotion.

"It's really here!"

Fei Ge's heart tightened, knowing that the general manager was really hinting at a dangerous situation, and he guessed it well. This inspection with his lord was really a dragon's den and a tiger's den.

"Everyone lie down and protect you!" He yelled and gave the order.

Everyone in this team, whether they were guards or ordinary soldiers, were well-trained. They made their horses lie down on the ground, and the men used the horses as a barrier and raised their guns to fight back.

"Bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

"..."

Suddenly gunfire erupted on the mountainside.

The brief panic on the mountain road disappeared, and the soldiers relied on their horses or trees to fight back with guns.

Gu Zhunian and the others, who had climbed up, launched an attack from the enemy's side.

The gun battle between the two sides lasted for more than twenty minutes. The enemy was attacked from both sides and gradually became unable to hold on. He left behind more than twenty corpses and fled forward.

The New Army troops took the opportunity to pursue and advance.

"Hey yeah!"

On a cliff in front, there were sudden bursts of strange screams, and then, many hooks and ropes were lowered.

A group of masked dead men in black clothes painted with ferocious ghost figures actually used ropes and sliding hooks to fly down from the cliff.

Like a group of vigorous monkeys chasing each other in the jungle, dense black shadows swooped down from the sky like ghosts.

They all held bright short Japanese swords in their hands, flying past the side of the trees, attacking Chen Tianhua's new army, and slashing with their swords.

The Japanese sword is a unique weapon of the Oriental people. It is made of cold iron and is extremely sharp.

"Porphyrin..."

This sudden attack made many New Army soldiers unprepared. Some soldiers were hit by Japanese swords, causing a cloud of blood and causing them to fall off their horses and turn them upside down.

Most of the new army soldiers behaved very bravely. They had been warned in advance, so they appeared unhurried. They held the spears with bayonets in their hands and thrust forward suddenly, stabbing the black-clad dead soldiers who rushed towards them in the air.

Pick and kill them.

"Bang..." The body fell to the ground and rolled down the cliff.

The scene at this time was just as Chen Tianhua expected. The two sides immediately exchanged hand-to-hand combat and started fighting fiercely.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

"Porchi..."

"Ah yo..."

"..."

There was a fight between gold and iron in the valley, shouts of killing, and screams one after another, shocking the heaven and the earth and weeping ghosts and gods.

When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, Fei Ge and his guards are both masters. They have strong martial arts skills and hold spears in their hands. Whenever a black-clothed killer passes in front of him, he will be stabbed to the ground by the spear before the Japanese sword can be struck.
