Chapter 12: Ambushing the Transport Team

Chu Feng pointed toward the boundless grassland behind them.

"We can only head in the direction of the grassland; only by heading toward the grassland will the enemy not be able to find us in a short time. Otherwise, the enemy's cavalry will soon be able to find and surround us!"

"But... but the grassland is so vast, it will be difficult for us to obtain supplies. Once we run out of supplies, we will be in a desperate situation."

"If there are no supplies, then go rob them. Are they the only ones allowed to rob us, and we aren't allowed to rob them?"

Once these words were spoken.

Everyone instantly became interested.

Usually, it was this bunch of Xiongnu who came south to plunder their supplies and grain.

Now that they had entered the heartland of the Xiongnu, it would be truly unreasonable not to rob them once.

For a moment.

Everyone was full of enthusiasm, rubbing their hands and preparing for a big fight.

"Is there anyone who is familiar with the grassland? Lead us to find a Xiongnu tribe to replenish our supplies first!"

"Centurion, I know where there is a Xiongnu tribe nearby!"

A young-looking, sharp-featured soldier stood out, "I once did business with the Xiongnu with my father, so I have a certain understanding of their living situation."

"Good, you lead the way!"

Chu Feng turned his head and ordered, "Liu Peng, you take a few brothers to gather the Xiongnu's horses and supplies; we are leaving immediately."

"Yes!"

Then Chu Feng looked at Zhang He: "Zhang, what are your plans?"

"What plans could I have? You have the highest rank here, we all listen to you!"

"That's right, we all listen to Centurion Chu!"

The group of soldiers brought by Zhang He all expressed without exception that they would follow Chu Feng's arrangements.

After incorporating these thirty-some people, the number of people in Chu Feng's team reached eighty.

On the other side.

Liu Peng had also finished collecting the Xiongnu cavalry's supplies and warhorses.

Except for the ones that ran away, they had rounded up a total of twenty-five warhorses.

As well as the dry rations, arrows, weapons, and other items they were carrying.

After a simple rest, the group immediately set off and left this place.

As for the few cavalrymen who fled back to the Xiongnu base camp.

They reported the situation they had encountered.

They said that behind them was a group of about a hundred Wei soldiers.

Upon learning of the situation, the Xiongnu general immediately dispatched a cavalry unit, demanding that they must deal with this group of Wei soldiers who had infiltrated Xiongnu territory.

The cavalry unit that received the mission immediately rushed toward the scene of the incident.

As a result, when they arrived, all they saw were dozens of their compatriots' corpses exposed in the wilderness.

As for their warhorses and supplies, they had all been looted clean.

"Damn Wei people!"

The leader commanding this cavalry unit was named Wulipu.

He was a powerhouse whose strength had reached the Martial Master realm.

"All of you, pursue them! I want to make this bunch of damn Wei people pay a bloody price!"

Wulipu swung his horse whip violently and took the lead in chasing toward the location where Chu Feng and the others had left.

The rest of the unit also followed closely behind Wulipu.

They swore to catch up with Chu Feng and the others.

Looking at Chu Feng's team.

They naturally knew that the Xiongnu would definitely not let them go.

Therefore, their marching speed was also very rapid.

It was just a pity that they did not have many horses, and most of the horses were carrying supplies or the wounded.

Therefore, their speed of travel was not as swift as the Xiongnu cavalry.

In order to find a Xiongnu tribe to replenish supplies as soon as possible, Chu Feng sent out two scouts to investigate the situation.

Before long.

The two scouts returned.

"How is it? Did you find a Xiongnu tribe?"

"Centurion, we did not find a Xiongnu tribe, but we discovered a Xiongnu transport team!"

"Oh? A transport team!"

Chu Feng's eyes instantly became heated.

Not finding a Xiongnu tribe, but finding their transport team was also quite good.

After all, the things the transport team was carrying were exactly the supplies they needed most at the moment.

"How many people are in this transport team?"

"Reporting to the Centurion, this transport team has a total of five hundred people!"

"Five hundred people!"

Before Chu Feng could speak, the soldiers behind him became somewhat hesitant.

"The enemy has five hundred people, and we only have eighty, this..."

Chu Feng turned around and looked at everyone: "What, are you afraid?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhang He stood up at this moment: "Brother, the enemy has too many people; if we fight them head-on, I'm afraid we won't have the advantage,"

"And according to what I know, the leader of a five-hundred-man transport team is definitely a Martial Artist Peak expert. In my opinion, it would be better for us to avoid their sharp edge for now!"

Facing Zhang He's dissuasion, Chu Feng did not think so, and he said with a smile.

"Hehe, how could there be any reason to let go of meat that has already reached our mouths!"

"That... that is..."

"Are you afraid?"

Being asked this by Chu Feng, Zhang He instantly flared up: "Afraid of what! I'm just worried that our chances of winning aren't high, it's not that I don't dare!"

"What about you all?" Chu Feng looked at the other soldiers again.

"Screw their mothers, I've long been sick of these Xiongnu bastards!"

"That's right, killing one is breaking even, killing two is a profit!"

"Centurion, give the order!"

At this moment, everyone had already forgotten their fear.

They couldn't wait to take up their blades and risk their lives with these Xiongnu people right now.

"Good, since that's the case, let's plan it out!"

Chu Feng immediately gathered everyone together, "First, this transport team hasn't discovered us; we can completely catch them off guard!"

"Zhang, gather the brothers in the team who can ride horses; they will serve as the surprise attack force."

"Liu Peng, Zhang Tan, you two set up an ambush at the sand dunes opposite; just wait for the cavalry to strike and then charge over."

"Archers, come with me to the front to dig pits and set an ambush; just wait for my command and then fire all the arrows in your hands!"

"Zhang, as soon as we finish firing, you launch the surprise attack immediately!"

"Do you all understand?"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Good, start preparing!"

Everyone immediately set to work to carry out the ambush.

Zhang He immediately selected the soldiers who could ride horses to serve as the assault force.

Liu Peng and Zhang Tan also immediately led their respective teams to hide at the sand dunes opposite.

The archers also immediately dug pits on the path the transport team had to take to conceal and camouflage themselves.

They were just waiting for this transport team to come.

It was just that what made Chu Feng feel a bit annoyed was that the marching speed of this Xiongnu transport team seemed a little too slow.

The scene shifted.

"Lord Wuligu, the main camp is in urgent need of supplies. Is our marching speed a bit too slow?"

"What's the rush!"

Wuligu lay on a carriage loaded with supplies and said leisurely, "It's not like the main camp has run out; why should we deliver them so fast?"

"This..."

This Centurion didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he had no choice but to continue the journey.

When they marched to the sand dunes ahead, he asked again: "Lord, there are sand dunes ahead, it is very likely that an ambush has been set. Do you think we should scout it out?"

"Are you stupid?"

Wulipu sat up abruptly, "Use that thick-headed pig brain of yours to think carefully, whose territory is this? Could it be that those Wei soldiers can fly here just to ambush us?"

"This..."

The Centurion had wanted to act cautiously, but he didn't expect to be scolded bloody by Wuligu.

There was no help for it; who told the other person to have a higher status than him!

Since the other person had already said so, he would just follow orders.

The team continued to march.

They slowly entered the ambush circle set by Chu Feng.

"Hehe, finally waited for you!"

Chu Feng revealed a hunter's smile.

He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the marching Xiongnu soldiers.

He released the bowstring, and the arrow sped away like a shooting star.
