Chapter 63 Ambush

People occasionally encounter this situation, and there is a risk of failure when doing it; there is a risk of sitting and waiting to die if they don’t do it.

It can be said that it is a dilemma.

However, when he and the grandson of the old Xu and his grandson stepped onto the avenue to the boundary of Yizhen County, they could no longer retreat when they walked out. Perhaps they had decided to do so earlier.

Since the official spies have mastered Peng Tianheng's information, they have lost their meaning to weigh the advance and retreat.

Perhaps there is a rule between him and Peng Tianheng.

When approaching the goal is Zhang Ning's opportunity, he will have room for performance only at this time; while Peng Tianheng's activities should be away from contact, and his opponents cannot reach him, so they have more room for activities.

Now Zhang Ning has reached Peng Tianheng and mastered his movements. Seizing the opportunity to give full play is the right decision, right?

After they left the city, they made some preparations, bought some dry food, and also had a cow to pretend when they needed it, and then rushed to the near the booked farm overnight.

Zhang Ning observed the terrain and took his two subordinates to climb a bushy hill with weeds on the top of the hill, but some small pieces of land were reclaimed on the hillside, planting drought-tolerant crops.

Lao Xu and Wenjun didn't say anything. Following Zhang Ning's arrangement, the three of them climbed up the hill silently.

In Yangzhou City, which was leaving at night, the sky is now completely dim, with only the quiet moonlight.

There may be some thorny plants or grass leaves in the weeds, and even Zhang Ning was wearing a long dress and had itchy and painful on the back of his hand, and he was scratched and injured.

There is a farm in the north that is quite far away. Now I can’t see clearly, so I just pass along the road.The thief may come out of the farm or go to the farm from outside, but he must pass one of the two days' roads, because there are only these two roads to leave the farm, and it is unlikely that the target will walk into the wilderness without any precautions.

Zhang Ning scratched the back of his hand and said, "The preparation for the ambush is divided into three steps. The first step is to go to the near the farm to see if the person is inside..."

As soon as he finished climbing the mountain, Zhang Ning was not very physically strong, so he took a breath and paused. Wen Jun quickly asked: How can I know?

Zhang Ning looked left and right and found a stone to sit down. Someone of us made a secret code inside. There was a window upstairs to the west. If the window was half-closed and there was a red woman's clothes hanging inside, it would be no one; if it was closed or nothing was hanging, the person would be inside.It's very easy to see it by getting closer.

He said it very easily, but Wen Jun was still confused. He might think that Zhang Ning was ready for everything, and even his people were undercover inside others, but why did he find the two of them who had made friends with him for a short time to do their business?

Wenjun and Lao Xu had more than one doubt about this matter, but Lao Xu didn't ask, and she was sensible and didn't ask randomly.

I'll go.Old Xu said, maybe he felt it was a bit dangerous to get close to the farm alone.

At this time, Zhang Ning said: OK, Old Xu will do this.But Wenjun also has another errand, which is the second step of preparation, going down the mountain to see the route and the suitable location for us to hide and ambush.Because I am not sure which road the person is taking, the mountain has a wide view. Only when I see the people can I go down the mountain and arrive at the predetermined location temporarily... I have to choose two locations, and I will decide which direction to choose when Lao Xu comes back.

He paused and said, "There are two requirements for choosing a route: first, you can reach the predetermined ambush in time, and second, you can try to avoid the sight on the main road as secretly as possible when taking action.Both of you understand?

Wen Jun blurted out: Then what are you doing?She might have a little prejudice against Zhang Ning, but she was not interested in understanding it. Anyway, she was provoking her authority.

I'll do nothing, command you both.Zhang Ning said without any pressure.

Lao Xu said: The boss has a clear arrangement of operations, which is the primary priority for our success.

Zhang Ning nodded: You have richer experience in surveying routes and the like, and it is my trust in you to Wenjun.Let's go, get back to rest after finishing things.

Old Xu went down the mountain first, probably not coming back in the middle of the night.

I found the window, but it was too late that I didn’t have the lights. I ran to the wall before I confirmed that the window was closed. Is it wrong to have the window closed in the middle of the night?

There will be no such mistake. The thief is in the farm and probably won't be there for several days in a row. We wait for the rabbit to come out.Zhang Ning said calmly on the surface, as if he was confident.

Zhang Ning remembered the situation when he was attacked at his home in Nanjing. The village was the other party's home court. The thief was not only familiar with the place, but also had subordinates to help. It was too difficult for us to go in and do things, so we would set up ambush along the way according to the original plan.Wenjun went down the mountain to survey the route and location, so that your grandfather could take a break.

Xu Wenjun took the order and left. When he came back, he described the route of investigation and the ambush plan. Zhang Ning sounded quite reliable, so he turned to look at Lao Xu, and Lao Xu nodded.

Zhang Ning said: The final preparation is to identify people... He recalled the description of the secret spy's report. The thief was tall and strong, over forty years old, with a wide face and a dense beard on his face. There were few people with so many beards on his face in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it was easy to identify.This person probably goes out by horses because the road in the countryside is not easy to drive and walking is too inconvenient.

Lao Xu reminded: Standing on this mountain, you may not be able to see your face clearly if you look a little far away.

The key is that there is not enough manpower... Zhang Ning said, I can only do this. It looks a bit like this, so we rushed to the ambush and waited immediately.If it is indeed a thief who is caught, then take action, otherwise it will be hidden.

Of course, there are loopholes in this arrangement. If they leave the village in two batches in a short period of time and each walks one way, Peng Tianheng will go behind; then Zhang Ning and others may be lost.

The way to make up for it is to re-invest and take action when Peng Tianheng comes back...

What can I do if I don’t have enough people?

The three of them took turns to rest, one was awake to observe the situation, and the other two were sleeping on the tree to rest.

Zhang Ning basically didn't fall asleep all night. The back of his hands was itchy and the little bug seemed to have crawled into his neck and bitten a few bumps. Anyway, he was very unhappy and he was still worried and couldn't sleep.

Sure enough, sleeping in the open is a hard task. It is not without reason that Lao Xu and the others are willing to settle down. Any wandering around the world is nonsense; settlement itself is the basis for improving human living conditions.

It was not until the morning that I was sleepy that I was unable to sleep for a while, but I was woken up as soon as I got confused.

Lao Xu pointed to the opposite direction of the south: A cavalry came from outside to the Zhuangzi side.There are few pedestrians in this countryside, and only one riding horses can see this one.

Zhang Ning rubbed his eyes, looked south for a while, and said: The thief is in the village and will not come from outside, so don’t worry about him.

Then eat something and gain energy.

Lao Xu said as he took out dry food and water bags from the package.

Zhang Ning took a ball of things and opened the big leaves wrapped in snacks. He saw that there was a ball of glutinous rice inside. He took a bite and had no taste. He had a bad appetite and had to drink water through the water bag while observing the person riding a horse in the village.

The road was far away and near, as if wearing a moon-white robe.

After passing these two roads, you can only go to the farm. Most of the people riding horses on the road have something to do with Peng Tianheng, but it shouldn't be him.

Unexpectedly, the man did not continue to move forward, but dismounted and walked along the field path into a dilapidated thatched hut.

The thatched hut should be a simple hut built by farmers when the crops are ripe when they are squatting to avoid being stolen, or a temporary shack built by resting in it at noon.

It is indeed a bit strange for people riding horses to enter the shack, especially in the south where can ordinary farmers ride horses?

Even Zhang Ningsheng didn't know how to ride a horse before he was a wealthy family.

There were too many strange people, and Zhang Ning didn't care what they were doing. He had only one purpose: to catch Peng Tianheng!

After a long time, the farm came over. Now Zhang Ning and the other three were more vigilant and looked around carefully. Old Xu said: Boss...

Don't be anxious first, that person walks slowly, wait a little closer.Zhang Ning was nervous, but a voice said that the more critical the time, the more anxious it was.

After waiting for a while, Wenjun couldn't help but say: Isn't it the person you mentioned?My face was dark and bearded, and I could see it from a distance, and I was tall and big.

Um.

Zhang Ning nodded, but I didn't seem to be going far away, walking slowly, and often looking around, facing the shack three times, maybe I was going to meet someone who had just passed by.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man jumping off the horse's back and leading the horse to the path.Lao Xu turned around and said: The boss is really a clever plan.

As long as you keep calm and don’t panic, it is something that everyone can see, and it is really not very clever.

Zhang Ning pondered for a moment and said: That man is the person we want to capture!Change the original plan and go directly to the straw hut to catch people.

This is simpler.Lao Xu said that the straw hut was surrounded by paddy fields. If you escape on a horse, it would be difficult to walk like a small trail. Once the horse's hooves sink into the paddy fields, it would be slower than hiking.

Zhang Ning thought about it and said: "The horse is going down from behind the mountain to avoid being discovered in advance."After going down the mountain, he tied the horse down... Old Xu led the cow as a farmer and walked around, going around to the opposite side of the straw shed.Wenjun and I walked over the front trail, attacking him from front and back to prevent him from being alert in advance and wanting to escape.Lao Xu should be the best skill. His weakness lies in our side. Can Wenjun entangle two people waiting for Lao Xu to join us?

It should be possible!

Xu Wenjun said seriously, but if I were someone blocked in the straw hut, I would definitely go to my grandfather's side.Maybe Grandpa is really a farmer?Even if you suspect that an old man is easier to deal with than two young men, who knows that you can’t fight?

If you make sense, just do it.Zhang Ning said decisively, set off!This matter relies entirely on the power of two people, and success or failure is here.

The three of them went down the mountain silently from the back mountain. Old Xu suddenly said: If I have any mistakes, Wenjun...

Zhang Ning said: Although Lao Xu is safe, no matter what happens, I will find a good family for Wenjun.

Lao Xu said: It’s okay for the boss to accept her as a concubine.

Grandpa... Wenjun's face suddenly turned red. Nothing will happen. Grandpa is more than enough to deal with two people!
