The next morning, Ashina still had a headache after a hangover.
But in order to make a contribution, Ashina endured the headache and set out early.
Some time after Ashina and his team set out, Yun Zheng and his team also set out.
Yun Zheng still let the Eighteen Ghost Riders explore the way, and they just had to follow Ashina and the others.
In this way, even if the enemy has an ambush ahead, they will look for Ashina and his men first.
In the afternoon, You Wu from the front hurried back to report.
"Your Highness, there is an ambush ahead!"
You Wu looked at Yun Zheng with admiration.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zheng guessed it right.
The enemy had indeed set an ambush.
...
...
"oh?"
Yun Zheng's eyes lit up and he immediately asked for details.
Youwu reported everything in detail.
Several of them had been quietly following Ashina and his group.
Ashina and his men were surrounded by enemy troops hiding in the dark when they were still more than ten miles away from Tianqiong Pass.
Looking through the telescope, it can be confirmed that those people are soldiers from Qiuchi.
They also didn't know what the enemy talked about with Ashina and his group. Anyway, the ambushing enemy did not make things too difficult for Ashina and his group. They just sent a few people to lead Ashina and his group to Tianqiong Pass, and the rest continued to lie in ambush.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Yun Zheng was secretly happy and immediately asked You Wu to lead the way.
After quietly moving forward for seven or eight miles, Yun Zheng pointed to the higher ground ahead and asked, "Is the enemy setting an ambush there?"
"right!"
Youwu nodded.
Qin Qihu was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Brother, how did you know they were setting an ambush there?"
Miaoyin was equally curious.
You Wu only led them this way, but did not tell them that the enemy's ambush was hiding over there.
How did Yun Zheng know?
"Isn't this simple?"
Yun Zheng pointed to the distance and said, "Look around here, the terrain over there is the highest! If anyone wants to explore the terrain around Tianqiong Pass, the best place is there! Standing there, you can have a panoramic view of the terrain around Tianqiong Pass."
If he were guarding Tianqiong Pass, he would also send people to ambush there.
In this way, if the enemy's spies want to explore the terrain around Tianqiong Pass, they can just sit back and wait.
"So that's how it is! I thought you were good at fortune-telling!"
Qin Qihu smiled as if he suddenly understood something, and then asked, "According to what you said, Tiexiong guessed that we were planning to attack Tianqiong Pass, so he sent people to hide here and set an ambush?"
“No need to guess.”
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled. "Who wouldn't want to take advantage of such an important pass? As long as the generals guarding the pass are a little more cautious, they will set up secret sentries or send people to ambush here..."
There's really nothing to guess about this.
Not to mention the general leading the army, anyone who is not stupid knows the importance of Tianqiong Pass.
Taking precautions is just basic practice.
Of course, this also shows that Tie Xiong, who guards Tianqiong Pass, is a qualified city defense general.
It was still early now, so Yun Zheng ordered his men to hide and rest on the spot.
When it got dark, all eighteen ghost riders went out, using the starry sky as a base to quietly move over there to find out how many ambushes were there.
In the middle of the night, You Liu returned.
They have already investigated clearly and found that there should be only about two hundred ambushes there.
The purpose of those people hiding there should be the same as Yun Zheng thought, which was to ambush the scouts who came to explore the terrain.
At present, the rest of the Ghost Eighteen Riders are lurking, planning to wait until those people fall asleep and then quietly kill them all.
"Leave a few alive! After completing the mission, come back and report immediately!"
Yun Zheng ordered in a deep voice.
"yes!"
You Liu took the order and immediately turned back quietly.
"Should we go help?"
Qin Qihu asked in a low voice.
"Need not."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "What they are good at is ambushing and killing. If we send others to help, it will be easier to make a noise and alert the enemy."
Yun Zheng is still very confident in the Eighteen Ghost Riders.
Even though the enemy's number is many times theirs.
Even in a head-on fight, those few enemy troops are no match for the Eighteen Ghost Riders.
What's more, the Eighteen Ghost Riders still have to take advantage of the enemy's deep sleep to launch a sneak attack.
There is no need for them to help with this small number of enemy troops.
"All right!"
Since Yun Zheng said so, Qin Qihu didn't say anything more.
After arranging a small number of people to keep watch, everyone fell asleep.
When it was dawn, You Liu returned again and brought back the news that Yun Zheng wanted.
All the enemy's ambushes hidden there have been eliminated by them.
They also followed Yun Zheng's orders and left a few people alive.
"Did you suffer any casualties?"
Yun Zheng asked.
"No."
You Liu: "The enemy didn't even have time to react before we eliminated them all!"
Although You Liu was wearing a mask on his face, one could guess that at this moment his face under the mask was definitely full of pride and confidence.
"That's good!"
Yun Zheng felt relieved and ordered everyone to move closer.
Soon, they came to the place where the enemy's ambush troops were hiding.
The place where these people hid was in a small valley on the mountainside. Although there were no tall trees to block the view, there were still quite a few bushes.
Hiding here, it is difficult to be discovered, and you can also monitor the surrounding situation.
As soon as they arrived, Youyi came to report.
The Eighteen Ghost Riders killed a total of 183 enemies and captured eight.
They had already learned from the captives that there were a total of 201 people here.
Ten more people were sent to lead Ashina and his entourage.
"good!"
Yun Zheng looked at You Yi with satisfaction and ordered, "You go down and rest first, and leave the rest to us."
You Yi took the order and handed over the eight prisoners to Yun Zheng and his men, then immediately took his brothers to rest.
Although they are powerful, they are not robots and still need rest and food.
Yun Zheng ordered his men to collect all the armor and weapons of the dead enemies, and asked his personal guards to interrogate the eight people separately. He then took a few people to the top of the mountain, took out his clairvoyance, and carefully checked the surrounding terrain.
Standing at this position, you can already see Tianqiong Pass in the distance.
But only a vague outline can be seen.
Tianqiong Pass looks like the shape of the Chinese character “八”.
Tianqiong Pass is at the narrow end of the "eight" shape.
There are rolling mountains on both sides, forming a natural barrier.
If the large army wants to enter Qiuchi from here, they must capture Tianqiong Pass.
Yun Zheng looked at it for a while, then handed the Clairvoyance to Qin Qihu.
Qin Qihu was looking around with his clairvoyance. The longer he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
Thanks to the effect of clairvoyance, they can clearly observe the surrounding terrain.
Such terrain is definitely not good news for them as the attacking party.
"Brother, this is not easy to fight!"
Qin Qihu put down his clairvoyance and looked at Yun Zheng with a frown.
“It’s really hard to fight.”
Yun Zheng nodded gently. "With this kind of terrain, it is basically impossible to send troops to attack Tianqiong Pass! If we want to seize Tianqiong Pass, I'm afraid we have to start with their own people!"
