Two thousand sergeants, with three hundred cavalry, so many people were handed over to Ye Shikai and Shangguan Jian to command, which shows how relieved Han Hao is to them, although Shangguan Jian is still a hundred generals at this time, and Ye Shikai is still the commander of the tun, but with so many men and horses, they can be called "thousand commanders".

Compared to the original distance, although the trail has to be walked a little more, it is also relatively hidden, there are many small intersections here, which are only marked on the fine military map, so the wolf clan should not be aware of the existence of this route.

Early morning.

"Shangguan, let's take a break after a night's journey. Ye Shikai pointed to a village in front of him and said.

"It's okay, there is smoke in that village, there should be a lot of villagers, and after we go in, we can also replenish the water source. Shangguan Jian replied that compared with dry food, if they brought half a month's worth of water, it would be a great burden for the sergeants, so they only prepared three days' worth of water, and as for the subsequent water supply, they needed to take it from passing wells and rivers.

"The whole army marched forward and entered the village. Shangguan Jian said loudly.

"Wait a minute. Ye Shikai said suddenly, there seemed to be black smoke faintly in the sky above the village, if it was a normal cooking, the cooking smoke would be white, but why would there be black smoke.

"There is suddenly black smoke in front, why don't you wait here with a large army first, and I will take five hundred infantry to investigate the situation first. Ye Shikai suggested.

"Okay, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, then you hurry, we have to travel day and night, if there is no abnormality, the army will immediately enter the village to rest. ”

"Good. Ye Shikai nodded, asked Mancang to order five hundred sergeants, and slowly approached the village.

"Chief, this doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. When everyone entered the village, Mancang looked at the environment in the village, and the villagers were all working, and the women were weaving cloth at home and doing household chores.

"You can't take it lightly, since the wolf clan can send so many cavalry to infiltrate the Qin realm, it is necessary to obstruct the logistics support of the front line and the replenishment of soldiers at all costs, this village is very remote, it is difficult to ensure that there is anything abnormal. ”

"Don't worry, Tun Chief, I'll take someone to see it first. Man Cang stepped forward with a few brothers and shouted loudly, "Who is the third elder in the village, come out quickly." ”

The nearby villagers couldn't help but be startled when they heard Mancang's roar, but also, seeing Mancang's fierce look, they thought it was a killing god that came out of nowhere.

"This military master, I am the third elder in the village, what is the matter? At this time, an old man walked over quickly, followed by several young people from the village, with a frightened face.

"Alright, let me say it. Ye Shikai got off the horse, and the man with a long knife in his hand must not frighten the villagers.

"Third Elder, we are troops going to the front line to participate in the war, passing by your land, I don't know if you have seen any suspicious people, or the army of the wolf clan. ”

"This ...... There has been no contact with the outside world in the village, and I haven't seen any strangers in the village recently. The third elder replied in a panic.

"Well, may I ask if you have a water source in your land. Ye Shikai's face changed slightly, and he asked.

"There are 11 wells in the village, and the water quality is sweet and ......"

"That's great, I'm having a dry mouth, the third elder take us there. Mancang said impatiently, marching all night, the sergeant and the horses were hungry and thirsty.

"Okay, all military masters, please come with me. The three elders answered again and again, and several young people in the village took Ye Shikai and his party to a well in the north of the village.

"Third elder, there is a well at the entrance of this village, why do you want to go near and far and take us to the north of the village. Ye Shikai looked puzzled, along the way, the population in this village should not be much, but there are many houses, and the houses on both sides of the road seem to have been abandoned for a long time.

"This ...... The military master didn't know that the source of the well water in the village is not the same, the source of part of the well is the river outside the village, and the other part of the well water is the mountain spring. ”

"Give me a scoop of water. Mancang took a large ladle of water, scooped a scoop of water from the well water, and was about to put it in his mouth.

syllable

Suddenly, Ye Shikai stretched out his horsewhip and slammed the water scoop.

"Tun Chang, what are you ......" Man Cang looked at Ye Shikai puzzled.

"Third Elder, you drink first. Ye Shikai took the water scoop and handed it to the three elders.

"This ...... The villain is not thirsty. ”

"Not because you're not thirsty, but because ...... It's been poisoned. Ye Shikai slammed the water scoop to the ground.

"Okay, you old horseman, you dare to poison you. Mancang grabbed the collar of the third elder and lifted him into the air.

"The military master spares his life, spares his life. ”

Seeing this, several village youths immediately rushed over, but were stopped by several sergeants.

Ye Shikai glanced at it, there was no fear on the faces of these young people, even in the face of Qin Bing's spears and swords, they did not panic at all, this was not like an ordinary villager.

"Not good, be careful. Ye Shikai suddenly shouted, and as he spoke, the young men suddenly pulled out a sharp blade from their sleeves and stabbed it towards the unprepared Qin soldiers.

"Be careful, everyone, they're wolves. Ye Shikai pulled out his sword and reminded loudly, at the same time, many men with weapons and people's clothes rushed out of the nearby house, although they were not wearing the clothes of the wolf clan, but the weapons in their hands revealed their identities.

The long knives and daggers of the wolf clan, which are weapons that are impossible for the people of the Central Plains to get, and then look at the palms of these people, covered with calluses, these are the characteristics of holding knives for a long time, and the most important thing is that looking at the eyes of these people, they are all ruthless characters.

"Fight. ”

"Kill. ”

As soon as the fight was imminent, more than a dozen wolf clans suddenly jumped down from the roof, and they shot very quickly, obviously trained, and the knife was killed, and four or five Qin troops fell in an instant, here are all small alleys, and it is very inconvenient to wield the spear and copper ge, on the contrary, the daggers and sabers of the wolf clan are extremely sharp.

"Mancang, go out and call someone, I'll give you the queen of the palace. Ye Shikai took the bronze sword to kill the two wolf clan fine works, and took a few Qin soldiers to guard the alley, when they came, they didn't expect to encounter an ambush from the wolf clan, so they only brought more than 20 people.

"Yes, Tun Chief. Although Mancang is worried about Ye Shikai, the sooner he calls someone over at this time, the safer it will be, Mancang took two knives, slashed all the way, and killed towards the village.

"Everybody come with me. Ye Shikai took the rest of the Qin soldiers to fight and retreat, and many wolf clan works emerged from the roof, holding crossbows and firing arrows at the entrance of the alley.

"On top of the shield. Ye Shikai personally held a shield to block the arrows and cover the retreat of the sergeant behind him.
