My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 157 Ambush?
After the tall and thin spy left, Lu Yi took Gao Shun to review tomorrow's battle in detail, and then he went to bed with peace of mind.

The next morning, Lu Yi got up early to load the truck.

Zhang Shiping, who had been holding back for a whole night, got the news that Lu Yi was finally preparing to return to Jiuyuan, and immediately left the city excitedly in advance to prepare to ambush Lu Yi.

However, Lu Yi had already kept a close eye on Zhang Shiping's every move through a tall and thin spy.

The two sides exchanged tactics openly and covertly, and Zhang Shiping became Lu Yi's prey impatiently.

Towards morning, Lu Yi's caravan finally completed its disguise.

Lu Yi personally led dozens of baggage carts to Jiuyuan and then embarked on the journey back to Jiuyuan along the official road.

"Chief Zhang, Lu Yi has finally come out. Should we send someone to kill him immediately?"

After Zhang Shiping's subordinates received the exact news, they came to report to Zhang Shiping immediately.

"No hurry, there are too many people around now, so we should avoid any accidents. There are few people at the border between Wuyuan County and Jiuyuan County, so it won't be too late to take action there!"

Zhang Shiping thought he had a sure win and did not seem so eager to kill Lu Yi immediately.

"Kill you with one knife?"

"That's too easy for you. Let me torture you to death!"

"This is the only way to dispel the hatred in my heart!"

On the other side, Lu Yi was also fully prepared.

Gao Shun, with more than a hundred men disguised as coachmen and attendants, carefully hurried on the road while preparing to deal with Zhang Shiping's attack.

Song Xian and Wei Xu followed the rest of the men on horseback, following the caravan from a distance.

After completing this mission, Zhang Shiping planned to flee to the border and join the Xianbei people.

Therefore, he withdrew the spies in Wuyuan County with great confidence.

This gave Lu Yi an opportunity to take advantage of, as he could safely arrange for his backup to follow behind him and join the battle at any time.

"Brother, there are several sparsely populated areas on the road from Wuyuan County to Jiuyuan County that are suitable for ambushes. I just don't know where Zhang Shiping is going to launch the attack?"

Gao Shun followed Lu Yi on horseback and asked carefully.

"It doesn't matter!"

Lu Yi is not a god, so it is impossible for him to know all of Zhang Shiping's tricks.

Even if there are spies, they cannot report information at any time.

However, Lu Yi was not panicked at all.

On the contrary, I feel very relaxed about it.

"We already had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Zhongshan caravan when we killed Wang Fu last time."

"It's impossible for these businessmen to spend as much effort on training and cultivating their employees as we do."

"The only use of their armed forces is to defend against bandits and their peers, so their fighting power is average. On average, one of our guys can fight against two or three of them at the same time."

"Zhang Shiping only has 500 men now, which is equal to ours. We just need to be careful of his first wave of arrows. Once we form a battle array with them, we don't have to worry."

"Brother, what you said is very true." Gao Shun felt relieved when he heard Lu Yi's words, and he concentrated on leading the way.

The morning and noon passed by in a hurry.

Several possible attack locations were not attacked by Zhang Shiping.

This allowed Lu Yi to greatly reduce Zhang Shiping's hiding place.

"Gao Shun!"

After Lu Yi shouted, Gao Shun came forward immediately to receive the order.

"Brother, what are your orders?"

Lu Yi immediately gave him the order.

"The front is the border between Wuyuan County and Jiuyuan County. It seems that Zhang Shiping is likely to set up an ambush in the front."

"You should immediately arrange for the team to slow down and let the guys recover their strength."

"And send someone to the rear to inform Song Xian and Wei Xu to prepare to launch an attack at any time."

"Yes!" Gao Shun immediately took the order and left.

Soon, the entire team slowed down. "Arrange ten more scouts to clear the way!"

Lu Yi ordered again.

"But brother, if we send out scouts to clear the way, aren't we giving Zhang Shiping an early warning of our location?"

Gao Shun was puzzled.

"Isn't that good?"

However, Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"The contact was mutual. When Zhang Shiping discovered us, their position would also be exposed!"

"My subordinates know!"

Gao Shun immediately took the order and made arrangements.

The scouts were two miles apart from the convoy.

These scouts are the best among the guys.

After more than half a year of training by Lu Yi, he has already grasped the essence of scout cavalry.

It's not just a casual walk.

Instead, when they encounter possible ambush points, they will send people to investigate.

Never miss a possible ambush site.

Sure enough, it was just as Lu Yi expected.

These ten scouts actually forced out Zhang Shiping's ambush troops at the junction of Wuyuan County and Jiuyuan County ahead.

"This Lu Yi actually sent out scouts to clear the way. His caravan must be ahead."

Zhang Shiping was so excited that he showed up on his own initiative, not caring about whether there was an ambush or not.

Conscious that he had an absolute numerical advantage, he was afraid that Lu Yi would escape.

Ready to take a little risk.

"Reporting, Chief Manager, our cavalry troop encountered Zhang Shiping's ambush ahead. One of our brothers was shot off his horse because he was a little slow to react. We don't know if he is alive or dead. The other nine have successfully returned."

The scout's cook immediately returned to report to Lu Yi.

"I understand. Go to the rear and order Song Xian and Wei Xu to lead their troops here immediately!"

Lu Yi nodded and immediately issued the combat order.

"The rest of you should immediately form a formation on the spot and prepare to defend against Zhang Shiping's attack!"

Two miles is not far, especially for Zhang Shiping who owns a lot of horses, he can almost appear in front of the caravan right after the scouts.

However, even such a short time was enough for Lu Yi to order more than a hundred soldiers under his command to arrange the baggage carts into a simple small formation.

These carts were specially designed by Lu Yi, and special shields were installed on both sides of the vehicles to protect them from bows, arrows, and rockets.

Therefore, Zhang Shiping couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw the turtle formation formed by Lu Yi.

"Shoot!" Zhang Shiping cautiously ordered his men to surround the convoy tightly and fired several waves of arrows in succession.

However, it only left a dense circle of arrows on the shield of the formation, and did not cause any particular damage to the guys defending it.

Only a few people lost their combat effectiveness because they were hit by arrows in the gaps.

Just as Zhang Shiping was about to try the rocket, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out on the official road in the direction of Wuyuan County.

It was obvious that there were at least several hundred of them.

When this voice was heard, the faces of both the attacker and the defender changed.

"There's an ambush!"

However, the difference is that Zhang Shiping and others, who were on the attacking side, were all shocked.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

However, Lu Yi and others who were on the defensive side all looked delighted.

The battle started immediately.
