Chapter 188 The grassland changes, and the barbarians' intentions appear
After everyone was quiet for a while, but after two days of searching, they couldn't find anything, and everyone's patience was slowly exhausted, if it weren't for Zhang Kaifeng and Wang Jing's strong pacification. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The night was deep, Zhang Kaifeng was not sleepy at all, but sat alone on a mountain bag, his brows were not raised, he had been looking for many days, but there were no clues, if it continued like this, it would inevitably make Han Zhan and others unbearable.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds in the sky fused, and the majestic heavy rain suddenly fell, Zhang Kaifeng did not dodge, let the heavy rain come to him, and washed away the sludge on his body. In the distance, a thunderbolt suddenly appeared in Zhang Kaifeng's eyes, and his eyes bloomed brightly in the darkness. The road slowly emerged. He rushed out, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and he opened the roots of the grass with his hands, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he was surprised.
Under the grass, he soon found a messy horse's hoof print, very clear, the grass around him was trampled by the horse's hooves, obviously this is a place where barbarian spies often haunt. It turned out that it was raining in the grassland, and after the afternoon on the grassland, the grass grew quickly, and the horseshoe prints were covered before they arrived, and the barbarian spies did not appear again for some reason, so that the original marks disappeared without a trace, so that they could not find them.
But when Zhang Kaifeng measured the seal with his hand, the soil led by the horseshoe was very hard, and it seemed that the spies of the barbarians had not appeared for a day or two, why was this. It is indeed incomprehensible that he had made a lot of movements, but now he suddenly disappeared, and pursued along the horse's hoof prints until he stopped when it was slightly dark. Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhang Kaifeng did not act recklessly. Zhang Kaifeng quickly returned to the station, but when he returned, he saw Wang Jing and the others looking anxious, and he was relieved to see him come back.
"Brother Zhang, where have you been, why do you look like this. Han Zhan asked.
"I found those horseshoe prints. Zhang Kaifeng said.
"Really?" Wang Jing and the others were shocked, and the haze of many days was swept away: "Where is it?"
"Do you remember what happened when you left?" Zhang Kaifeng didn't answer immediately, but asked first.
"What happened?" Han Zhan and the others were inexplicable, not knowing what Zhang Kaifeng meant, but they still said honestly: "Of course we are being hunted down." ”
"Is that all?" Zhang Kaifeng asked again.
"It's rain. Wang Jing's face changed suddenly, and he said, "When we left here with the general that day, it rained a lot. ”
"Yes, the barbarians wanted to kill us that day, but the rain was so great that it took their sight, so we got rid of them. Zheng Ming said with some luck.
"Also, that is the most sloppy time in Lao Tzu's life. Han Zhan said hatefully.
"It seems that Brother Wang already knows why the horseshoe prints of the barbarian spies disappeared. Zhang Kaifeng looked at the few people who answered differently, and continued: "As you all know, the grassland has a special climate, and it is often windy and rainy, which creates fertile grass. And as you were leaving, the rain caused the grass hidden in the soil to break through the soil and cover the original hoof prints, which is why we can't find it. ”
"Moreover, after we left, the barbarian spies did not appear again, and the grass completely covered their tracks, and even if we came again, we could not find any clues, and there was no trace at all. Wang Jing said with a gloomy expression.
"Such cunning barbarian spies, they want to take advantage of our thought that they are just roaming here, and have no other ideas, so that we can relax and attack again, and then we will be unprepared, and we will definitely let them succeed. Xiao Lin said with a pale face.
Hearing this, several people shuddered inexplicably, such a vicious plan together made them succeed, and the consequences were unimaginable, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it was naturally that the entire village would become purgatory.
"Yes, I guess that's one of their purposes. Zhang Kaifeng continued.
"So what to do, they must be well prepared to do so. Feng Xiang was a little uneasy, and as soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Zhang Kaifeng again.
Zhang Kaifeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't panic, their preparations must not be perfect yet." ”
"What does Brother Zhang mean by this, why are you so sure that the barbarians are not ready. Wang Jing and the others were surprised.
"You Brother Zhang, don't sell it, go on, big brother is trying to tickle our hearts." Zheng Ming said anxiously.
Zhang Kaifeng also stopped selling Guanzi, and said: "Think about it, when it rains on the grassland, the road will inevitably be muddy, and if the barbarians want to transport grain and grass, they must be transported by carriage and horses." And once it rains heavily on the grassland, the road is not easy to walk, their journey slows down, and the preparation cannot be completed in an instant, the heavy rain allows them to hide their tracks, but it is also their fatal flaw. I dug up the dirt, and it was still wet, and it was clear that the rain must have stopped the day before our departure, and even if we had delayed for a few days, they would not have been able to attack them immediately, and we still had a chance. ”
When Wang Jing and the others heard this, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and then they were excited. I originally thought that when I reached the edge, I couldn't think of another village, as Zhang Kaifeng said, heavy rain is a double-edged sword, there are both advantages and disadvantages, this is where the barbarian people miscalculated.
Wang Jing immediately ignored the meaning of each and immediately issued an order: "Set off immediately, and take home the pictures you see along the way, and do not venture in." ”
"We know. Several people in the Korean War spoke in unison.
"As for Brother Zhang, you have worked hard all night, so stay here to rest. Wang Jing said.
"Yes, Brother Zhang, you're tired all night, just leave the rest to us. Xiao Lin said excitedly.
"Brother Zhang, you go to rest and wait for us to come back. Zheng Ming also said.
"Okay, be careful on your way. Zhang Kaifeng was really tired and didn't insist.
It wasn't until the night got dark that Wang Jing and the others returned, and Zhang Kaifeng, who was in the camp, had already prepared cooked food and water and handed them to them.
"How is the situation. Zhang Kaifeng asked.
"It's not good, the marks of the horse's hooves are very messy, and it seems that the spies of the barbarians have been moving very frequently in the past few days. Wang Jing's face was gloomy.
Han Zhan also said: "The situation on my side is not very good, I found the mark on the axle, it seems that they want to attack the fortress." ”
"I have a lot less horseshoe prints. Zheng Ming said strangely.
"In other places there are very few horseshoe prints. Kobayashi said.
"With such a large-scale action, how could it not be revealed, but it did not attract people from other barbarian tribes, and it seems that they have already been completely prepared for this preparation. Zhang Kaifeng looked at the number of points on the map, frowned, and said: "The route that Zheng Ming explored, combined with the intelligence of Brother Wang and Han Zhan, it seems that the actions of the barbarian spies have been frequent in the past few days, and I want to know what it is." ”
"Brother Zhang, please speak. Han Zhan and the others looked shocked.
"The reason why they are moving frequently these days must be to calculate the distance between the three offensive routes and the fortress. Then, again, choose the one with the shortest offensive route. Zhang Kaifeng pondered for a while and said, "Judging from your intelligence, Brother Wang, they won't appear now, after all, they have been broken by you a few times, and they are also worried that you will report to the top and send troops here." But their camp is definitely not far from the fortress, and we must seize the time, find out, and then crush them. ”
"What Brother Zhang said is reasonable. Zheng Ming said with a happy face.
"Then follow Brother Zhang's train of thought to find it. Wang Jing also felt that this inference was feasible, and said without hesitation: "Remember, we just need to find the target, and we don't need to alarm them." ”
After a short rest, the five set out again and began to search for the location of the barbarian camp.
