Chapter five hundred and eighty third ambush

On Yumeng Mountain behind Songjiawo Tower, a small path of sheep intestine appeared and appeared in the mountains and forests. Just an hour ago, this small path of sheep intestine witnessed a young general of the Ming army carrying a head of the Qianzong of the Qing army down the mountain with a long spear.

Liuzhou is like Wuzhou and Guilin, a major town in Guangxi. During the peaceful season, Songjiawolou, less than 20 miles from Liuzhou City, is undoubtedly a good place for the people to live and work in peace. This place is not far from Liuzhou City, and it is very convenient for villagers to go to the city to do small businesses. But in this chaotic era, the closer they are to the so-called important town, the more unlucky the people will be. Last year, when the Qing army slaughtered Liuzhou City, even the nearby villages were harmed, and Songjiawolou was no exception. Now there are no people in this village, but there are people living on Yumeng Mountain behind the village.

There are several families living on Yumeng Mountain, either hunting for a living or collecting herbs. Because they live on the mountain and there is no oil and water, the Qing army will naturally not work hard to go up the mountain to cause trouble for them. In the ordinary season, the poor and remote areas are despised by people, and they are very disgusted. No one wants to stay here for a moment. But in the troubled times, this poor and remote areas is a good place like a paradise, and many people want to come but cannot come.

An hour ago, the families living on Yumeng Mountain heard the sound of thunder as if it was a big day of fury from the mountain, and then they saw thick smoke coming from the direction of Songjiawolou at the foot of the mountain. After the sound at the foot of the mountain disappeared, a mountain man named Lei asked two companions to go down the mountain to pick up the mountain. The so-called picking up the land means to see if there are any valuable things left in the place where the battle just happened. Even if there is no valuable things, it would be fine if you can pick up one or two weapons. An old hunter on the mountain could make a blacksmith, and the knives, axes and other picks can be turned into iron and forged into tools that can be used on the mountain. If you are lucky, you might even be able to pick up some gold, silver and treasures thrown by the soldiers.

The mountain people surnamed Lei and two companions touched the path they had been walking for many years and saw more than a dozen corpses on the way, all of which were cut off their heads. The three mountain people surnamed Lei lived in the mountains all year round and hunted frequently, and were not too unfamiliar with blood and other things. So, although they suddenly saw the headless corpse of a man, they were a little scared, but they were not too frightened. They knew that this must have been the soldiers fighting at the foot of the mountain that asked the other party to cut off their heads. Living on the mountain does not mean that they were isolated from the world. At least, they knew that the army would cut off their heads to receive merit when fighting.

It is definitely not possible to place the corpses on the mountain like this. On the one hand, it is easy to rot and maggots, and on the other hand, it is a taboo if the wild beasts are asked to eat meat. In addition to the chickens raised at home, most of them rely on hunting for a living. If the wild beasts that have eaten human flesh are hunting, they will be disgusting. Moreover, if the wild beasts eat human flesh, they will become cruel and threaten the people on the mountain and become difficult to deal with. Therefore, these corpses must not be placed here. But because they are thinking about picking up the fall, the mountain man named Lei and his companions did not stop burying the corpses. They just touched randomly to confirm that there was nothing valuable on the corpse and rushed down the mountain. Compared to picking up the fall, burying the corpses is not urgent. Anyway, the head of the man is gone, so they are not afraid that these corpses will get up and run away.

This small path of slutty mountain people and their companions are really familiar with each other and they can't get along any longer. Even if they close their eyes, they can still feel their way up. So they went down the mountain very quickly, but when they were still about a little bit away from the foot of the mountain, the mountain people in Lei found that the nearby forest seemed to be a little wrong. What was wrong, and he couldn't remember it for a moment. The two companions also stopped, and people who lived in the mountain all year round were wary of danger.

Just when the mountain man surnamed Lei wanted to look around and see what was wrong, he suddenly felt something was pressed against his back, and then he saw someone appearing from all over the place.

"Who are you? The spy of the Qing army?"

The question was about a sentry commander of Brigade C. Brigade C was established completely according to the military system of the Qi family army, so the rank of the officers in the brigade was different from that of the Taiping Army. This sentry commander was equivalent to the commander of the Taiping Army.

Several soldiers of the Qi family who were holding muskets held the guns against the Shanmin of Lei and his two companions. These soldiers of the Qi family were covered with camouflage made of leaves and straw, and their hats were also wearing rings made of leaves and grass. They lay on the ground like this and did not get close to see them. It was difficult to find them.

The two companions of the mountain people surnamed Lei were frightened by the soldiers who suddenly appeared and could not say a word. The mountain people surnamed Lei were calmer and shook their heads in a hurry, saying that they were the herb collectors on the mountain and were definitely not a spy from the Qing army.

The commander of the Qi family army walked to the front of the mountain people surnamed Lei, looked at him carefully, took his hand and looked at him carefully, and then ordered his subordinates to take the three of them aside and take them away when the war ended.

The Ming army did not kill them, which was already a good deed by their ancestors. The mountain people surnamed Lei and their companions dared not resist. They honestly followed these Ming soldiers to the place where they were guarding them under a crooked tree.

As they came all the way, they finally knew why the forest was wrong, because what was hidden on the mountain was not the Ming army just now, but many people. Everyone was covered with camouflage objects woven by grass and leaves, and there were probably more than a thousand people. So many people were hiding in the forest and were covered with camouflage objects, so this forest was naturally different from before.

The disguised Ming soldiers were hiding in the mountains and forests, drinking water from their skins and gnawing on the dry food in their hands. The forests were very large, and there were many Ming soldiers, but they could not hear any noise, and there was not even a hiccup.

Jing, it was so quiet that the mountain people surnamed Lei were a little shocked.

Because the Ming army only took them under custody and had no intention of killing them, the soldiers who held them said that they would let them go back after the war was over and were not fierce to them, so the three of them quickly calmed down. After a while, a young mountaineer named Zhang couldn't help but ask the mountaineer surnamed Lei and said, "Lei Er, why are these Ming soldiers hiding here?"

Lei Er gave him a blank look and said, "You can't even see this? Of course, it was an ambush."

"Defend an ambush? Ambushes from the Qing army? Hey, we have a good show now. I have grown up so old that I have never seen a war."

The young mountain man surnamed Zhang was full of excitement, and he had no fear of fighting here soon. Instead, he was looking forward to it.
