Chapter 82 Ambush (1)

In the evening, Ye Mingsheng was lying on a straw mat in the tent with his eyes closed, thinking about what to do next when entering the Huishan Mountain area. Suddenly, he heard that the originally quiet military camp had become a little noisy, which disturbed him from thinking about things. Feeling dissatisfied, he stood up and walked out of the tent to see what was happening outside.

As soon as Ye Mingsheng came out and had not walked far, he saw twenty or thirty farmers from Gongdu dressed in rags silently walking in from the gate of the military camp, carrying bags of food and walking towards the baggage camp where Kong Ruian was in charge without saying a word.

"Master, this is the military rations sent to us by the people of Luwang Town! The people of Gongdu in Luwang Town are quite sensible. They have already sent the things to our door before Lord Chen has urged them!"

Ye Kui, who was guarding outside the camp, saw Ye Mingsheng looking at these common people, and immediately stepped forward to introduce them:
After hearing Ye Kui's introduction, a hint of doubt flashed across Ye Mingsheng's eyes. Looking at the farmers who were carrying grain silently in front of him, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong...
After observing this group of people for a while, Ye Mingsheng still couldn't figure out "what was wrong". He just thought that he was being suspicious and laughed at himself, then turned around and returned to the tent.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

However, just as he turned around and had not taken two steps, two loud noises, like gunpowder explosions, suddenly came from the distance.

Just as Ye Mingsheng was a little confused and hadn't reacted to what was happening, a guard who followed Chen Yannian suddenly ran in from outside the camp gate, his face flushed red, and he shouted at the top of his voice:

"Lord Chen reports to the Commander that a large number of bandits are attacking from the west. Lord Chen has gone to resist them. Please send troops to help as soon as possible!"

Ye Mingsheng's expression suddenly became serious when he heard the news. Knowing the importance of the matter, he trusted Chen Yannian and did not think too much. He just shouted loudly:

"Where are the messengers? Assemble!"

"Ohh Ohh ohh···"

"Ohh Ohh ohh···"

As Ye Mingsheng's order was issued, the messenger in the barracks immediately blew the bugle in his hand.

Although the soldiers in the barracks were resting at this time, some were resting, some were eating, and some were doing other things...

However, their good military discipline made them put down what they were doing immediately after hearing the bugle call. They put on their armor and quickly gathered in front of Ye Mingsheng on the open space of the military camp.

Seeing that Wang Xian's 200 soldiers had assembled first on the open ground, and Wang Xian himself was anxious because he was worried about Chen Yannian's safety, Ye Mingsheng decisively ordered: "Wang Xian, you lead the troops and go ahead. I will follow with the main force!"

"Yes!" With Ye Mingsheng's order, Wang Xian did not hesitate and immediately led his men and horses to the west of Luwang Town.

About two minutes after Wang Xian left, the remaining 500 soldiers in the barracks also gathered. Just as Ye Mingsheng was about to lead the main force to provide support, he heard Pei Zhixiu's anxious voice.

"General! No!"

"What do you want?" Ye Mingsheng, who was about to mount his horse, was startled when he heard the words. He looked at Pei Zhixiu, who came out of the tent with a worried look on his face, and trotted over.
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Pei Zhixiu, who was out of breath, bit her cherry lips lightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in her bright eyes. It seemed that she wanted to say something, but was a little hesitant.

Seeing Pei Zhixiu like this, Ye Mingsheng frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Miss Pei, if you have something to say, we can talk about it when you come back. I have urgent military information to deal with now..."

As Ye Mingsheng spoke, he ignored Pei Zhixiu and was about to mount his horse and lead his troops out of the camp to rescue Chen Yannian.

"The people who entered the military camp to deliver food are Japanese!" Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was really leaving, Pei Zhixiu, who was worried about Ye Mingsheng's comfort, didn't care about anything else. She grabbed the reins with her delicate hands and whispered to Ye Mingsheng:
When she said this, Ye Mingsheng was stunned, and then he suddenly realized. Pei Zhixiu's words reminded him. No wonder he always felt that there was something wrong with that group of people. Twenty or thirty rural farmers gathered together, how could they not whisper to each other? How could it be so quiet without any sound of conversation?
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Ye Mingsheng immediately looked back and around, trying to find the "farmers" who delivered the food. But to his surprise, the farmers who were just here had completely disappeared. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng was undoubtedly more certain of Pei Zhixiu's statement.

Although he didn't know what these Japanese wanted to do by sneaking into his military camp, Ye Mingsheng thought about it quickly and gave a decisive order:
"Lin Huaiwu, take your troops to help Chen Yannian! Everyone else stay here and find those bugs!"

"As ordered!"

Lin Huaiwu, who received the order, did not hesitate at all. Under Ye Mingsheng's order, he led his two hundred men and hurried towards the West City.

As for the remaining 200-odd soldiers, under the leadership of Ye Tie, they formed a battle formation and began to search this temporary military camp that had just been stationed there.

The military camp of 700 people was not big, so the imperial guards soon discovered the Japanese disguised as farmers hiding beside the grain carts in the baggage camp behind the camp.

At this time, this group of Japanese had already pulled out sharp Japanese swords from the grain bags they had sent in, and were plotting something. Unfortunately, before they could take any action, they were surrounded by more than 200 imperial guards.

Surrounded by many soldiers, Ye Mingsheng looked at the fierce Japanese in front of him with Japanese swords. Ye Mingsheng was indeed somewhat fortunate. If Pei Zhixiu had not reminded him, he would have led the main force to rescue Chen Yannian. Then, there would only be this group of Japanese pirates in the military camp, and the consequences would be really unimaginable...
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but look at Pei Zhixiu beside him with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and whispered, "Miss Pei, thank you very much!"

Pei Zhixiu seemed a little absent-minded in response to Ye Mingsheng's thanks. She just said "hmm" softly. For some reason, when she looked at the ferocious Japanese pirates in front of her, a hint of pity was revealed in her beautiful eyes.
