Seeing the letter written by King payasai in the messenger's hand, after only hesitating for a moment, Ratti decided to lead the troops home.

Although it is a great achievement to help Jiaozhi win the war, if the land of Lancang kingdom is seriously damaged, all his so-called contributions will become a stain. What's more, the old dragon clan who has been unwilling to be reconciled to others is afraid to take the opportunity to make trouble.

General Ratti, who didn't want to give people a tongue, quickly ordered the army to turn around and withdraw quickly. He didn't even notify Jiaozhi. It can be seen how anxious he was.

Compared with walking only 20 miles a day, the speed of the army is much faster in the process of catching up with yinglou city. After all, no one knows what changes will happen in Lancang King's country one day. Maybe now the mercenaries have fought with the domestic army.

When general Ratti led his troops back, there was a place called wuhelin on their way. At this time, mines were being watered by summer rain.

In the thick woods of wuhelin, what is hidden is the headquarters of Chen Bo, commander of the second battalion of the second regiment of Lengfeng.

He arrived here with more than 10000 soldiers three days ago. After this place was selected as an ambush site, intensive mine excavation began. At one time, countless deep holes were dug on both sides of the road to place a full 3000 mines.

In less than half a day, the mines were successfully placed. The next time was for everyone to return. Along the dense forest of the Wulin River, more than 10000 troops lurked on the spot and began a long wait.

He brought food rations for ten days, mainly instant noodles, ham sausage and all kinds of cans. Every soldier had to eat and sleep. It was a leisurely scene. It's just that as a commander, Chen Bo can't really sleep well. From time to time, he will look into the distance to see if the scout has any new information transmitted back.

"It's raining." in the dense forest, I don't know who whispered. Then Chen Bo looked up at the sky with his voice and saw the continuous drizzle falling from the sky.

"OK." looking at the drizzle falling on the tree first, and then a burst of flowing down on himself, Chen Bo couldn't help but clench his fist excitedly.

I was still worried about whether the buried mines would leave some traces and be found. But now there is rain falling from the sky, so everything is not a problem. This will be the best cover. In such weather, even the most powerful scouts can hardly find any problems.

Soon after the light rain fell, a human shadow in the distance was rapidly approaching the dense forest. It was the scouts who came. With his return, he also brought the latest news, that is, lati returned with 100000 troops.

"This damned weather." riding on the horse and looking up at the sky, ratty couldn't help scolding.

I don't blame ratty for being so angry, just look at the morale of the army. The nearly 100000 troops who were originally arrogant and wanted to show their grandeur were thinking of making achievements and suddenly ordered them to turn back. This was originally a frustrating thing. However, there was a light rain in the sky. Although it was not very big, it still soaked the soldiers' clothes for a long time. The sticky feeling made people very uncomfortable.

The road became muddy with the continuous light rain. Every step was a bit heavier than usual. This feeling made people feel uncomfortable all over the body. The soldiers of the whole army became much lower. From a distance, the army walking with its head down will sound curses from time to time, complaining about heaven and people one by one.

But when he saw that the morale of the army was low, general Ratti could do nothing. In such weather and under such orders, even if he is a powerful speaker, I'm afraid he can't raise the morale of the army at the moment.

I just hope I can hurry to yinglou City, enter the city, put on dry clothes, eat hot food and have a good sleep. Maybe it will be much better.

"The whole army speeds up and tries to rest in the city at night." thinking that it is less than 40 miles away from yinglou City, ratty was cruel and said to his entourage.

Soon the order was conveyed. Although they didn't have a good rest all the way since the army began to return, considering that they could have a good sleep after entering the city, the soldiers didn't complain much, but only accelerated their pace in silence.

At this moment, no one thought about whether there would be an ambush.

After all, I didn't see an enemy on the way. Now I'm going back to the city. It's only forty miles away from yinglou city. In addition, it's such bad weather and it's getting dark. Where will anyone attack them at this time?

Just as they are laborious when walking, don't they want to attack their enemies?

It is under such wrong thinking that nearly 100000 troops not only do not have a little sense of prevention, but on the contrary, due to rainy days, the distance between the former army, the middle army and the rear army is widening.

It was slowly getting dark. Perhaps it was because of the rain. It was much darker than usual, which also made people feel annoyed, but all this had no impact on mercenaries.

Originally hiding in the rain forest, the big tree on their head protected them from a lot of wind and rain. In addition to sleeping all day except eating, everyone is in good spirits. At this moment, they are staring at the Lancang army from far to near. Even their former army has passed by, but no soldier wants to rush out and fight.

Even ten thousand cross toed mercenaries, under the strict order of General Hong Jin, dare not make a sound. It seems that they are afraid to lead to something and provoke the anger of those mercenaries who kill without blinking an eye. Not to mention, before the war, Chen Bo, the battalion commander of the mercenary, said that as long as everyone obeys the rules, when the war is over, all soldiers participating in the war, whether meritorious or not, can get at least 20 liang of silver reward.

Twenty Liang silver is equivalent to a year's income of ordinary people in Jiaozhi. With such a reward in front of us, we naturally have to be more obedient.

Naturally, it's like a reward of 200000 liang of silver. I'm afraid only rich mercenaries can pay at will without a little pain.

The darkness continues. Half of the former troops of the Lancang army have passed through wuhelin, including the five thousand cavalry and five thousand marksmen. This is also the main force and soul of this army of nearly 100000 people.

"Everyone ready." through the night vision telescope in his hand, he saw clearly that the front army was going to enter the seemingly muddy land immediately. In fact, there was a deep trench, which was the best weapon to deal with the cavalry. As a commander, Chen Bo raised his right hand high.

Although it was a little dark, this raised right hand was still seen by many people, and their breathing became tense at this moment. Then they were absorbed and focused, waiting for the arm to fall, and then they would launch a rapid attack.

The so-called attack is just leaving the gun from a long distance. According to battalion commander Chen Bo, it is impossible to fight with the enemy in this battle. It only needs a short-range shot to cause chaos in the enemy army, and then let them step on the mine independently and make the chaos worse. As long as their morale is completely suppressed, it is time to clean up the mess.

Unaware of all this, general Ratti still rode on his horse and walked forward. As a general, he is still very proud to walk in the forefront, but he really doesn't know that his seemingly personal practice is actually a life-saving agent for the death of nearly 100000 troops. After all, if he didn't have an accident at the first time, the morale of the troops below could not have fallen to the lowest point in such a short time. "Peng..."

Nearly six meters deep and eight meters wide trenches were trampled down. Before the cavalry in the first row knew what had happened, they fell one by one like dumplings. Then came the second row. General Ratti was in this column. He just felt that his eyes were suddenly empty, and the knights in front suddenly disappeared. Then he also tilted his body and fell into the ditch with a plop. Then the third row, the fourth row

That is, the volume of the trench is limited. Otherwise, at least hundreds of cavalry will jump into the trench and lose their combat effectiveness. But even if it just fell into hundreds of people, the consequences are considerable. Because their commanding general and several ten thousand captains around the general entered the ditch together. At the moment, they were still pressed by some cavalry and horses that fell later. They could not struggle in a short time.

At the beginning of this chaos, a brilliant light suddenly rose into the sky, and a very shiny red flare crossed the dark night sky, marking that the horn of battle had begun to sound at this moment.

"Tu Tu..."

"BAM BAM..."

"Bang Bang..."

The gunfire started in disorder, and the fire from the muzzle suddenly appeared in all directions, giving a fatal blow to the soldiers of Lancang Kingdom who were eager to hurry.

No one could have imagined that there would be enemies here.

No one can think of being ambushed by the enemy here.

No one could have imagined that the attack came so suddenly and violently

Originally, the wuhelins were on both sides of the road, and the straight-line distance was only about 500 meters. When all kinds of bullets came like flying, when people suddenly fell to the ground on this rainy night, the army was in chaos.
