Chapter 1141: 1061 Ambush Convoy

Xiang Ziyu led his troops along the highway towards Leping, and at the same time, the reinforcement troops of the Mirage Country were also advancing towards Leping and Dongshan.

After receiving the order, these Mirage Country troops immediately organized to reinforce the areas where the Tang Army might attack. They were moving fast, some even driving vehicles.

However, since the main attack direction of the Great Tang Empire’s landing troops had not been confirmed, the armored corps of the Mirage Country did not move out. They were still deployed in the rear areas, awaiting orders from Shengwu Zhong.

Walking along the highway under the moonlight, Xiang Ziyu was earnestly hurrying towards Leping, when he faintly heard the sound of vehicles approaching from behind.

The paratroopers did have vehicles – the first batch included about twenty vehicles that were airdropped along with the paratroopers. But the sound of vehicles coming from behind seemed to be much larger in number.

“Enemy presence!” Xiang Ziyu turned and whispered to his soldiers, “Spread out to both sides! Prepare for battle! Ambush! Ambush!”

Upon hearing the order, the paratroopers left the highway and hid on the sloped roadway, taking their weapons off their bodies.

Soon, under the moonlight, a vehicle with its lights on approached, wobbling down the road, followed by a second and then a third… These vehicles driven by the Mirage Country formed a line, slowly moving along the highway.

Clearly, these Mirage Country soldiers were heading to reinforce Leping. It seems that the enemy had guessed the attack direction of the Great Tang Empire paratroopers and adjusted their deployment accordingly.
