Chapter 182: Ambush

Sha Luozan and Ji Mafu clasped their fists together and said in unison: "This subordinate follows orders."

Only then did Qi Baijun look at Gui Hanying and Ju Shenhuan, and said, "Let’s set off before Ren Fanyan passes through the narrow valley."

The two clasped their fists and said, "This subordinate follows orders."

After the emergency meeting ended, Qi Baijun led an army of ten thousand soldiers and left Lin Zi City at a fast speed. Standing on the city wall, Chen Yiwei was lost in thought as he looked at the leaving army.

Thirty minutes after the emergency meeting in Lin Zi City ended, Ren Fanyan finally saw the entrance of the narrow valley. He didn’t stop, and shouted: "Be careful of the enemy’s ambush."

As soon as his words fell, the army rode into the narrow valley entrance. Before leaving the barracks, he had already told the team captains that no matter what happened, they must break through this narrow valley as soon as possible. Only when the road is successfully cleared can the main force pass through the narrow valley.

The soldiers shouldered heavy responsibilities and rode into the narrow valley on horseback. Five minutes passed without any movement. Not long after, five thousand soldiers had all entered the narrow valley.

Ren Fanyan kept scanning the two high cliffs on both sides, while looking at the silent environment around. After another minute, his eyes flickered as he suddenly shouted: "Move faster!"

The soldiers increased their movement speed when they heard his shout. Hiding on top of the cliff, Gui Hanying raised his hand and said, "Do it now!"

The soldiers in charge of relaying messages quickly issued his order with flags code. As soon as the soldiers received the order, they set the oil-splashed stones on fire and pushed them off the cliff.

The rumbling sound instantly alarmed Ren Fanyan and others. Looking up, he saw countless boulders shrouded in flames, falling from the cliff at fast speed.

His eyes sank, as he said, "An ambush! Move faster!"

Seeing that Ren Fanyan and his soldiers were getting faster and faster, Gui Hanying gave another order.

"Archers get ready!" He said while keeping his eyes on Ren Fanyan.

The soldiers changed positions and the archers loaded their arrows and aimed down. He raised his hand and said, "Fire!"

As soon as his words fell, countless arrows rained down on Ren Fanyan and his soldiers. After the first team of archers has finished releasing their arrows, they switch places with the second team. Four teams of archers shot at them without stopping, and the stone boulders falling from the cliff made Ren Fanyan fall into a passive position.

Using his sword to parry the arrows, Ren Fanyan shouted: "Turtle formation!"

After receiving his order, the flustered soldiers quickly calmed down. They took off the shields tied on their back, held them high above their heads, and quickly gathered together as they moved to form a barrier.

Gui Hanying saw that there was not much left of the boulder, and said, "Stop attacking."

After he finished speaking, all the soldiers stopped attacking and retreated to the cliff. Seeing that Ren Fanyan and others had left the narrow valley, Gu Hanying took out a bamboo tube from the cloth bag tied around his waist. Then he aimed the bamboo tube at the sky, and pulled the rope at the bottom of the bamboo tube.

Psiu~ Bang!

After leaving the narrow valley, Ren Fanyan had a bad feeling when he saw the signal released by Gu Hanying.

He looked at the lieutenant general riding beside him, and said, "Zuanhu, lead five hundred soldiers and circle around the narrow valley. Find General Yao and General Du as soon as possible, and prevent them from passing through the narrow valley. I’m afraid there is still an ambush there."

Xiong Zuanhu nodded, and said, "Yes, General. You should be careful too."

Seeing that Ren Fanyan nodded in agreement, he raised his hand to give out a command. Followed by five hundred soldiers, he went in the other direction. After Xiong Zuanhu left with five hundred soldiers, Ren Fanyan took the rest of the soldiers and headed towards Lin Zi City at a fast speed.

Two minutes ago, when Ju Shenhuan saw the signal from Gui Hanying, he was ready to ambush Ren Fanyan. Hiding not far from the exit of the narrow valley, he saw Ren Fanyan galloping out with the rest of his troops.

Seeing his target approaching, he drew his sword out of its sheath, raised it high and shouted, "Charge!"

Dung~! Dung~! Dung~!

Following the sound of war drums, the three thousand soldiers of Black Qilin Army immediately shouted and rushed towards Ren Fanyan and the others. Hearing the mighty cheers and the sound of war drums, the soldiers of the Shang Empire couldn’t help but feel fear swallowing them.

Sensing the dropping morale of his troops, Ren Fanyan gripped his sword tightly and shouted: "Kill the enemy!"

He rushed towards Ju Shenhuan and picked up the longbow tied to the side of his war horse. Immediately, he drew an arrow from the quiver and aimed it at Ju Shenhuan. Squinting his eyes, Ren Fanyan concentrated for a second, and released the arrow.

The arrow broke away from the bowstring, sped through the wind, and pierced towards its target like lightning. Seeing the arrows approaching, Ju Shenhuan, who was riding on his horse, lowered his figure, and barely dodged Ren Fanyan’s arrow. The arrow streaked across his left cheek, drawing a line of blood.

Ren Fanyan saw that his arrow missed to hit Ju Shenhuan’s heart, so he pulled out three more arrows from the quiver and aimed at him. Three arrows left the bowstring at the same time, and flew towards Ju Shenhuan.

Seeing the incoming arrows, Ju Shenhuan jumped off his horse, flipped twice in the air, and then landed lightly on the ground. After missing another attack, Ren Fanyan calmly hung the bow back to the horse’s side and drew his sword out from the scabbard.
