Fuping Mountain was located twenty-three miles south of the ferry port.
Fuping Mountain was not high and was only about two hundred feet above sea level. It was not steep and had a large slope. There were no towering trees on the mountain, only small bushes.
The road at the foot of Fuping Mountain led to the ferry port.
Beside the road was a river called Yujiang. The river water flowed rapidly and was about to merge into the sea. This river originated from the inland mountains. The water system was developed and there were many tributaries. Jade River was just one of the tributaries.
Fuping Mountain was located at a slightly higher location. After passing Fuping Mountain, there was a slope that led to a low-lying area.
Wang Tongtong and Su Wo Xia Yi were leading the army and rushing forward.
The army arrived at the foot of Fuping Mountain.
They rushed along the official road at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Tongtong urged his horse and said, "Su Wo Xia Yi, when we arrive at the ferry port, your thirty thousand elites will go straight to Xia Xia's camp and take the lead."
"Yes!"
Su Wo Xia Yi agreed.
He had no choice now.
He could only agree.
What's more, once Xia Xia destroyed Wo Xia, Su Wo's family would be completely defeated and Wo Xia would be gone. Therefore, even if he knew that Wang Tongtong wanted his soldiers to be cannon fodder, Su Wo Xia Yi agreed.
Wang Tongtong saw that Su Wo Xia Yi's attitude was good and nodded in satisfaction. He said, "Su Wo Xia Yi, have you never thought of becoming the Emperor after taking control of Wo Xia?"
"No!"
Su Wo Xia Yi shook his head.
Wang Tongtong asked, "Why?"
Su Wo Xia Yi said, "Your Highness Pingyuan King, once you become the Emperor, you will be restrained by all sides. Moreover, there are countless people in the country who support the Emperor. The people and nobles all support the Emperor. If I really usurp the throne, I will be attacked by all sides. This is extremely disadvantageous for me. "
"Maybe Su Wo Xia Yi will lose all power."
"So I can't usurp the throne."
"Su Wo Xia Yi is now the largest family and controls the government. Although I am not the Emperor, I am the actual Emperor. This is enough."
Su Wo Xia Yi said, "Your Highness Pingyuan King, this is my plan and the consensus of Su Wo Xia Yi."
"Hahaha …"
Wang Tongtong laughed loudly.
Su Wo Xia Yi asked, "What is Pingyuan King laughing about?"
Wang Qingtong said, "The reason why This King is laughing is because although Su Family is not bad, they lack a heroic spirit and even less courage. In the entire country, there is no one who dares to usurp the throne. They are too weak. "
Su Wo Xia Yi smiled and said, "Everyone handles things differently."
Wang Tongtong shook his head and stopped talking.
He looked down on Su Wushuang.
He obviously had the strength, but he was afraid of this and that. It was really disappointing.
Su Wo Xia Yi didn't say much.
Everyone had their own choices. He was very clear about his own choices and even more clear about what he was doing. Even though he had only taken control of the court, that was already enough.
The group continued on their way.
Meanwhile, on the slopes of Fuping Mountain, in the shrubbery.
One by one, the mortars were aimed at the foot of the mountain and the main road.
Liu Che happened to be in the crowd.
He was in charge of the artillery.
After Du Qi set up camp at the dock, he predicted that Su Wo Xia Yi and Wang Tongtong would send troops. The reason was very simple. The army's warships were at the dock. If Wang Tongtong ignored it, he would lose the warships that went out to sea and would not be able to cross back to Great Qin.
The warships also had Great Qin's weapons, which Wang Tongtong had to take back.
Therefore, Wang Tongtong had to come.
If Wang Tongtong came, Su Wo Xia Yi would follow.
In this way, the Japanese army would definitely set off from Tengyuan City and then head to the dock. As long as they came, they would have to pass through Fuping Mountain. Therefore, Du Qi had arranged for an ambush here.
It was to deal with the Japanese and catch Su Wo Xia Yi and Wang Tongtong off guard.
While Liu Che was waiting, a soldier suddenly came to his side and reported, "Lieutenant Liu, everything is ready. All the mortars have been aimed at the Nihon troops who are on their way. "
Liu Che was now a lieutenant in the army.
It was just a military officer in name.
Liu Che had not been involved in commanding an army yet. Most of the time, he followed Du Qi and listened to Du Qi's arrangements. At the same time, he conveyed Du Qi's orders.
Liu Che decisively ordered, "Fire!"
"Fire!"
The soldier immediately conveyed the order.
"Boom!"
The artillery that had been ready for a long time immediately loaded the shells. With a loud bang, the first shell flew out. Soon after, the sound of cannons rumbling could be heard. Cannonballs flew across the sky and quickly flew down the mountain.
The shells fell into the crowd of soldiers at the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion. Soil and bodies flew everywhere.
One by one, the soldiers were killed.
The Japanese soldiers were marching in formation, so they were very densely packed. As soon as the cannonballs landed in the crowd, they exploded and killed countless Japanese soldiers.
Even many of the Qin soldiers were killed by the explosion.
"Damn it!"
Wang Tongtong cursed and did not waste any more time. He immediately ordered the soldiers to spread out and quickly break through the encirclement. Wang Tongtong did not expect that he would be set up.
From the moment the ferry was attacked, the plan had already begun. Xia Xia's side had been waiting for him. As long as he headed in the direction of the ferry, Xia Xia would ambush him.
"Break through the encirclement, charge forward, charge!"
Wang Tongtong shouted.
The soldiers rushed forward one by one, not daring to waste any time.
Su Wo Yi was the same. He was completely stunned. He didn't expect that he would be suddenly bombed on the way. This kind of bombing was even like what Wang Tongtong had done to him.
But now, Wang Tongtong was also bombed, and his situation was quite miserable.
Su Wo Yi could only follow the order to charge forward and seize the time to rush over. Even in Su Wo Yi's heart, he was already very worried.
Xia Xia's side had already set up an ambush here.
It was obvious that they were already prepared.
If they went to the ferry now, they would be jumping into the other party's trap. Such a situation was definitely not good for the Japanese and Great Qin.
However, they had no other choice.
Su Wo Yi, Wang Tongtong, and the others were all rushing forward, not daring to delay at all. After all, the cannonballs were still falling. One cannonball after another landed accurately in the crowd, causing countless soldiers to be injured or killed.
The entire army was in a mess.
It was already a mess.
After sprinting for a long time, everyone escaped from the front line of Fuping Mountain and escaped the bombardment of the artillery. Only then did Su Wo Yi and Wang Tongtong breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they had escaped.
Wang Tongtong stroked his beard and said with a sneer, "The ability of this commander of the State of Great Xia is only so-so. He set up an ambush at Fuping Mountain and used the artillery to bombard us, catching us off guard. However, he did not make any follow-up arrangements. If we leave Fuping Mountain and come to this low-lying area in front of us and set up an ambush, we will definitely gain a lot. "
Su Wo Yi's heart trembled. He quickly looked around and did not see any enemies coming. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Pingyuan King is right. This is Xia Xia's oversight. It is precisely because of this that we have a chance to win. "
Wang Tongtong said, "That's right. Let's take a short rest and count our losses before continuing on our way."
Su Wo Yi immediately gave the order.
The army temporarily stopped advancing and counted the losses of this battle.
