The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Chapter 14: Ambush Discovered

"I didn't hear clearly. I was stopped half a mile from the carriage!"

The heavy guard knelt on one knee with his hands on the hilt of the sword, looking like he was accepting punishment.

"A strong general has no weak soldiers. They are indeed trained by Hua Pengkun. No wonder my father insisted that I marry Hua Ye as the Crown Princess!"

Li Li muttered in a voice that he could hear.

"I am incompetent and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

The heavy guard looked at the prince's gloomy back and trembled slightly.

"Heavy guards, please step back!"

Li Li said this with a stern face and sat in the imperial carriage...

"Major General Zuo, keep up! We should at least stay 10 miles away from the main force!"

The cavalrymen were well-trained and dressed in plain clothes, riding high-quality brown horses.

She followed behind the unique rider Chen Huaye and chased him hard, otherwise even the Ferghana horse Zuo Nian would not be able to catch up with her.

Hua Ye rode all the way to the fork in the road, then stopped by pulling the reins.

"The map is on Zuo Nian!"

She jumped off the horse, led the horse to a cool place, took out the water bag on her waist and drank several big gulps of water.

Wearing the hat that Jianwu had prepared in advance to block the sun, she looked around and saw dense trees on both sides of the road.

The leaves in the bamboo forest rustled in the wind, and the breeze was hot and steamy.

"Why haven't you come yet? It's so hot that people are melting!"

Zuo Nian rode towards us on his shiny black horse, kicking up a cloud of dust...

"Cough cough..."

Hua Ye coughed as the dust inhaled into his nose, and only when Zuo Nian galloped past did he pull the reins and look back.

"Hua Ye, get on the horse!"

Hua Ye coughed several times in disgust before slowly getting on the horse.

"Give me the map!"

"Just follow me. It's safest for me to hold the map!"

Zuo Nian looked at her funny appearance and smiled secretly with the corners of his mouth pressed down.

"Okay, take it. I think we should hide during the day and move out at night. We should set traps and ambushes at night!" Hua Ye leaned to Zuo Nian's side and whispered.

"Then where do you think is a good place for an ambush?"

"It should be in the canyon area, where the terrain is like a pot and bottle mouth, which is difficult to defend but easy to attack!"

"To get to Sucheng, you have to pass through Huping Mountain. There's no other way. It'll take an extra day to go around!"

"But the terrain is easy to attack. My father can't have failed to take precautions in advance, so it's not the first choice. It must be in an unexpected place!"

"Where should that be?"

Zuo Nian looked at Hua Ye, who was only 17 years old, with a slightly approving look, and was inevitably shocked!

<The general is a good teacher indeed!>

"I think the dense forests on both sides of the road make it an easy escape! We need to search more closely this time!"

There was a hint of worry in Zuo Nian's thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he couldn't help but frown.

"I've heard that the Tibetans are good at fighting, and their surprise attacks are always unexpected and hard to defend against! I'm afraid this time it's going to be disastrous."

"Don't worry! My father has fought for most of his life, and he will definitely return victorious!"

"In the previous life, there were 5 soldiers in the army, but when they returned to the capital, only a handful of less than soldiers remained."

"In this life, I remember every detail of every battle clearly, and I will definitely be able to save most people's lives!"

Hua Ye's crystal-clear eyes showed determination and courage, and she didn't look straight ahead.

"When the enemy comes, we will fight with our troops; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. We must not give up an inch of our territory!"

Zuo Nian pretended to be relaxed and indifferent and smiled, but every word he said was filled with the power of a desperate move.

"If I don't say something encouraging every day, will I feel miserable?"

Hua Ye slowly gave his horse a push, muttering to himself as he rushed out...

When they were starving, they only ate a few bites of bread and drank a few sips of water, and rode at full speed to within 50 kilometers of the main force.

It was late at night and even the bonfire had not been lit. The horses were hidden in the bushes, and Jingwei looked for a suitable place to hide.

Hua Ye chose a towering tree, climbed up to the branch in no time, and looked around at the light in the darkness.

Zuo Nian also jumped onto the branch and stuck close behind her...

There were little lights on a cliff in the south, and figures were moving back and forth on the official road at the edge of the cliff below the cliff.

Several horse ropes were buried in the soil and hung on the cliff along the growth of weeds. They would fall down as soon as someone pulled them.

Gunpowder was buried on the cliff, and any point would cause it to collapse, and falling rocks would injure many people.

"Let's go, weapons ready, and go quietly in the dark!"

Hua Ye jumped down from the branch, and as he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

As soon as Zuo Nian blew the whistle, a group of people in black emerged from the ground, trees and holes.

I saw them lowering their bodies and moving quickly, tiptoeing to find cover and climbing up the cliff.
