Chapter 524: Intercepting the Road
On the night of the operation, the night fell like a huge piece of black silk, covering the earth.
The moonlight is like water, and the cold moonlight sprinkles on the mountain path, covering everything around with a layer of silver gauze.
Ge Pengfei led two thousand soldiers, like a ghost, and ambushed silently on the side of the road that the supply team had to pass.
He gripped the long knife tightly in his hand, and the blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight, like a dormant poisonous snake.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the distance, always paying attention to the movements around him, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Soon, the sound of horses and carriages could be heard in the distance, becoming clearer and clearer as they neared. Sima Yan's supply team slowly entered the ambush circle under the moonlight.
In the team, there were carriages loaded with food and military supplies. The escorting soldiers looked around vigilantly, but they could never have imagined that danger was quietly approaching.
Seeing that the time had come, Ge Pengfei gave an order: "Kill!" His voice was low but full of power, echoing in the valley like a huge bell.
The soldiers rushed towards the enemy with shouts like tigers descending from the mountains, and the shouts of killing instantly broke the tranquility of the night.
The escorting enemy troops were caught off guard by the sudden attack and were thrown into chaos for a moment.
But they were well-trained after all, and they reacted quickly and organized resistance quickly.
The two sides engaged in close combat, and for a moment, swords flashed and blood splattered. The sounds of shouting, screaming, and the clash of weapons intertwined, playing a cruel war melody.
In the fierce melee, Ge Pengfei led the charge, wielding the long sword in his hand with impenetrable force. With every flash of cold light, an enemy soldier fell down with a scream.
He was like a fearless lion, exuding a terrifying aura as he charged through the enemy camp. Wherever he went, the enemy troops retreated like a tide.
An enemy general saw this, his eyes widened with anger, his heart filled with nameless rage, and he shouted: "Where did these bandits come from? How dare you ruin my plan!"
After saying that, he clamped his legs against the horse's belly and rushed towards Ge Pengfei like a gust of wind. The spear in his hand pierced Ge Pengfei's throat like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
Ge Pengfei sneered, his eyes full of disdain and determination, and rushed towards the general.
The two men engaged in a fierce battle in an instant, with swords and guns flashing and crisscrossing, just like two entangled dragons, tumbling and moving in the night sky.
Every time the weapons collided, dazzling sparks flew out, accompanied by the harsh sound of metal clashing, which echoed in the valley for a long time.
Ge Pengfei was agile and nimble, dodging the opponent's sharp spear nimbly. At the same time, he spotted the flaw and swung the long sword in his hand fiercely, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, accurately cutting the enemy general's arm.
The general felt a sharp pain and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. His whole body swayed and he almost fell off his horse.
His face was pale, he covered his wound, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, he didn't dare to fight anymore, and quickly turned his horse and fled.
At this time, seeing Ge Pengfei so brave, the soldiers' morale was immediately boosted, as if they were injected with infinite power.
They shouted in unison, their shouts echoing throughout the valley, and their attack became more and more fierce.
Everyone was like a tiger descending from the mountain, fighting a desperate battle with the escorting enemy troops.
Their eyes burned with a fiery will to fight, and they were willing to pay any price to win.
However, the enemy troops escorting them were no ordinary people. Relying on their numerical advantage, they quickly stabilized their position and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
I saw a soldier waving a big knife in his hand, slashing left and right, and knocking down several enemy soldiers in succession.
But the enemy came like a tide and surrounded him.
He showed no fear and continued to fight with a roar, his sword flashing and blood splattering.
But in the end he was outnumbered, and an enemy soldier took advantage of his weakness and stabbed him in the back.
His body swayed, but he still turned around stubbornly, using his last bit of strength to swing his sword at the enemy, dying together with him.
On the other side, an enemy soldier was holding a spear and stabbing at one of our wounded soldiers.
At this critical moment, a soldier rushed over and blocked the fatal blow with his body.
He fell to the ground with blood gushing from his mouth, but his face showed a determined expression as he shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill!" This scene inspired his comrades around him to fight the enemy even more bravely.
Just as the battle was at a stalemate, Ge Pengfei was secretly anxious.
He knew very well that if the battle could not be ended quickly, they would be in an even more dangerous situation once the enemy reinforcements arrived.
So he quickly looked around, his sharp eyes as keen as an eagle, and soon discovered that the enemy's food and grass carts were concentrated in the center of the team and the defense was relatively weak.
A bold idea flashed through his mind.
Ge Pengfei took a deep breath, then shouted loudly with all his strength: "Brothers, concentrate your forces and attack the enemy's food and fodder wagons! As long as the food and fodder are burned, the enemy will be defeated!"
When the soldiers heard the order, it was like hearing a charge horn, and an even hotter flame instantly ignited in their eyes.
They charged towards the enemy line desperately, weapons raised high in their hands, and their shouts made the valley buzz.
Like an unstoppable torrent, it broke through the enemy's defenses and bravely advanced towards the food and fodder carts.
The escorting enemy troops noticed Ge Pengfei's intention and immediately realized that if the food and supplies were destroyed, they would be wiped out.
So they tried their best to strengthen the defense of the food and grass carts, and all their forces gathered around the food and grass carts.
For a moment, the two sides launched an even more brutal fight around the food and fodder carts.
Ge Pengfei brandished a long sword, led the troops, and rushed to the front like a sharp blade, engaging in close combat with the enemy.
His body was already splattered with the enemy's blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own, but he didn't care at all, and only had eyes for those carts of food.
Every time the long sword was swung, it brought about a bloody storm and cut down a large number of enemy troops.
However, the enemy continued to pour in, trying to prevent them from reaching the food wagons.
An enemy soldier took advantage of Ge Pengfei's unpreparedness, quietly approached from the side, raised the dagger in his hand, and stabbed Ge Pengfei's waist fiercely.
At this critical moment, one of Ge Pengfei's personal soldiers discovered the danger. He flew towards the enemy without hesitation and blocked the fatal blow with his body.
The personal guard fell to the ground, muttering, "General, hurry up..."
Ge Pengfei felt grief and anger in his heart. He roared, and the long sword in his hand danced faster, slashing at the enemy more frantically.
After a thrilling fight, Ge Pengfei's soldiers finally broke through the enemy's defenses and arrived at the food and grass carts.
"Ignite!" Ge Pengfei gave the order, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty.
The soldiers threw the torches they had prepared at the food and fodder. In an instant, flames leaped up, spreading rapidly, whistling in the night wind.
The raging fire was like a snarling fire dragon, engulfing the food and fodder carts.
The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire valley red and illuminating the soldiers' tired faces that were filled with joy of victory.
