Chapter 217 Doubts
Ji Xin is the best scout in Xiang Yu's army, and his accumulated achievements can be proven. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so it's not surprising that they were the first scouts to find a large number of people coming and going.
"Looks like there's a lot of people." The little scout pointed to the footprints on the ground that had been soaked by the rain, "But...... Don't you think that's weird, boss? ”
"Well, looking at the traces, it doesn't look like an army." It was not Ji Xin who answered, but Gao Zhuang Scout, who was looking at the half of the leaf that had been scraped off the tree on the side.
As far as the eye can see, it is not uncommon for such residual leaves to be taken away, and there are sparse footprints of people, horses, and ox carts, but the east and west are not neat. The army marches have their own formations and arrays, in addition to the consideration of the speed of the march, more important is the performance of discipline and vigilance, the more outstanding the army in the march, the more strict the chances of marching, with such a big name of the ghost army, it is impossible to get out of this savage formation.
"Yes, look here, and mules." It was a lean man who spoke, but he didn't know where it was in a dialect, so it was really difficult to understand.
"Let's get to work! Is it possible to achieve our army, and still want to fight the ghost army barracks? But could it be that they are really ghosts? Don't have Lao Tzu Niang Niang Niang Babies? Ji Xin scolded with a smile.
"Boss, are we going to raid their hometown?" The little man was a little hesitant.
In fact, this kind of thing was not uncommon in this era, arson of bandits, scourge one party, unscrupulous means, and even use the enemy's family to disturb the morale of the army. It's just that their Xiang family army is already invincible on the frontal battlefield, and they don't need these obscene tricks, and Xiang Yu was brainwashed by Ziyan and decided to take the civilian route, so naturally he would not take the initiative to do this kind of thing, and even took the initiative to restrain his subordinates in order to have a good reputation. Therefore, under the influence of this kind of thinking, the ideological and moral level of these people is amazingly high, and all of them are real men, and they disdain this kind of petty means.
"You ask me, I ask who to go!" Ji Xin rolled his eyes, but still said softly, "It shouldn't be, you see that we are Master Ji, and there are only more than 2,000 people!" There are tens of thousands of ghost troops, and the young general won't do such a stupid thing, right? ”
"Whew, that's good." Since there is no need to worry about food and clothing, it is not a matter of life and death, everyone still has a conscience, except for perverts and neuropaths, no one will stab others twice. However, although the tall and strong man is a pure man, he also has a gossip heart: "Boss, then you say, since it is not to copy other people's hometowns, then why did you send us out?" ”
"We're not going to raid their hometowns, but you said that there are troops rushing to your hometown, aren't you worried? Won't go back and have a look? The Ghost Army is known for being elusive, so you can find them? Ji Xin glanced at him, with the expression of an idiot.
But the little scout said "hehe" twice: "These days, the rabbit cubs of other armies see that our Wu Xinjun is gone, and they are all jumping to find trouble with our army, we are all like this, can they still be better, young general?" At this time, the major general came out to fight the ghost army, do you think, this is really normal? ”
"! you, don't know how to pretend to understand, don't have two rolls of bamboo slips in your stomach to pretend to be a fairy? The tall man gave him a blank look, "Our young general is young, but you don't know the ability yet?" Didn't other officials just bully our young generals? We are soldiers, what can better explain our ability than real military achievements? If even the famous ghost army is taken down by us, look at that group of officials and masters who dare to look down on our young generals? ”
Ji Xin has been letting them argue softly, if he didn't know the real purpose, he actually felt that what the tall man said was quite reasonable, no wonder the young general asked them to pass on the word like this, right?
Saying that, they did not delay their movements along the road along the trails left behind, and seeing that they were about to converge on a large road with more traces, he softly scolded: "Silence! ”
has arrived at the main road, which means that the destination is not far away, this world, let alone the place where the families of the army are, even ordinary villages should have patrolling militia.
The tall scout and the little man are both old scouts, and they naturally understand the rules if they want to die, and they were noisy just now, but now they are quiet all of a sudden.
However, it was useless to be quiet, and a pair of bright red eyes were the first to spot them.
The red vertical pupils, if the Japanese comic fans see it, they have to shout excitedly, "Is this the legendary writing wheel eye", but it is obvious that these eyes do not belong to humans. Seeing the military uniforms on their bodies, there was a trace of surprise in their red eyes. After a slight pause, he quietly disappeared from the grass.
The more they walked, the more Ji Xin and his party felt that something was wrong, here, there were already many traces of human activities, and they were 100% sure that there was definitely a large human village in the vicinity. No, it's not a village, looking at the scale, it definitely exceeds the scale of 10,000 people, it can be called a city! Mountain roads, farmland, traps, they even found sentry towers in the mountains, but all this was silent, not lifeless, but the place full of human traces was empty.
This is not a long-abandoned ruin, the seedlings are neat and verdant, the guard tower is completely equipped and novel, and the stove fire at the edge of the field has not been extinguished, but there is no one in this ordinary farmhouse scenery.
All kinds of strange scenes made the bold Ji Xin and his party furious, and the tall scout lowered his voice and came over, muttering in a low voice: "Boss, I don't look at something wrong here!" They all say that they are a ghost army, so they can't really be human, right? ”
Ji Xin's heart is also hairy, but he is the commander of the army, he knows that he can't be messy, panic is contagious, and the other brothers will definitely not be able to calm down when he messes up, such a weird environment, if they are not careful, I am afraid that they will all have to explain here! It was only at this time that he knew why Xiang Yu wanted to make such a big deal about catching a woman, that woman was probably not just beautiful, she was definitely not simple!
So although there was something wrong in my heart, I still reprimanded: "What nonsense!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced back at the boy in the middle of the line, who had never spoken, and the boy shook his head at him, pointed to his nose, and nodded at him.
This boy was assigned by the Xiang family, it's not that he doesn't want to speak, but he is simply a mute, but his nose is very sensitive, just now that is their code, the boy told him that everything is normal.
Ji Xin let go of his heart slightly, looking at the col in front of him, they couldn't see what was behind the col at all, but the scene in front of them couldn't allow them to hesitate, so they could only move forward.
Gesturing to each other, they understood what they meant, took up their defenses, and walked slowly behind the col.
They were mentally prepared for any scene behind the col, even if it was a rain of arrows in the sky as soon as they appeared, they would not be surprised, but when they saw the scenery behind the col, they were still stunned for a moment.
