Chapter 130: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
――The first website is Happy Booker, if you want to continue watching, please move to Happy Booker――
On the road that was dimly illuminated by the setting sun, ten scouts of the Qin State were riding horses, marching down the road.
And the leader is an imperial Langzhong named Zhizhong - of course, this Langzhong is not a doctor in the later sense, but the title of Qin **guan.
Soon, Zhizhong, who was walking in the front, saw several large trees that had fallen down on the road.
These tall trees look like they have been cut straight from the side of the road and then fallen on the road, and their thick trunks and dense branches form a barrier that not only prevents people and horses from getting through, but also obscures Zhizhong's view.
"Stop!" Zhi Zhong ordered, and at the same time waved the reins, so that the front hooves of the horses under the crotch were raised high, and then they stepped heavily on the ground, and stopped, and behind him, the nine Qin army scouts did the same, stopping the pace of their mounts.
"Your Excellency...... This ...... "A Qin soldier rode his horse to a position a little behind Zhi Zhong's side.
"It seems that the commotion just now was caused by the falling of these trees." Zhizhong looked back and forth at the trees in the middle of the road, and speculated, Changge in his hand slightly pushed aside the branches in front of him, wanting to see the situation behind the trees, but he was still blocked by other branches behind him.
"My lord, shall we ......?" Qin Bing said, his eyes looking at the woods on both sides of the road.
Zhizhong understood what he meant—although the road was blocked by trees, the woods on either side could still allow the scouts to lead their horses and barely get through.
If you insist on moving forward, you can bypass these trees and take the road through the adjacent trees.
"Nope." Zhizhong shook his head and vetoed his subordinates' thoughts, "This road will be passed by by our people every day at noon, but they didn't find anything abnormal, which means that this was at least started in the afternoon, and if you can do this in the afternoon, the other party should at least have a considerable number of people." ”
If it's just the other party's tricks, it's fine, if someone on the other party is really hiding in the woods, then the ten of them are tantamount to sheep in the mouth of a tiger. Even if you move on, you have to set aside some people to go back and report the situation first.
"This ......" The Qin soldiers looked at each other, they really couldn't think of anyone in the empire who would do this.
Since the unification of the six countries by the Qin State and the establishment of Great Qin, there have only been some sporadic anti-Qin forces left in various places, and even the famous Mo family is also being surrounded and suppressed, who dares to provoke a city where the Qin ** team is stationed in such a head-on?
However, just as these people were still hesitating, behind the road that was heavily blocked by trees, there was a sudden burst of fire, and from a distance, it seemed to be a group of figures.
"Enemy attack!"
………………
And the heavy fires that these Qin soldiers saw were naturally not a group of enemies, but the bundles of lit dead wood that Yamamoto and Ah 13 had arranged on the road in advance.
It's just that because the sun is about to set, and the branches of the trees that block people's vision, and the bundles of dead trees are deliberately arranged neatly, there will be such a misunderstanding.
These dead woods not only contain trees that are generally used as firewood, but also contain some tree resin, which can make these dead wood burn for a longer time, and there are some woods in it that people usually don't use at all, because these special woods will produce a pungent smell and smoke when burned, whether it is for cooking or as a torch, it is not a good thing.
However, it is just right to put it here, when these things burn, they will not only produce fire, but also billowing smoke, which can be used as a means to disturb the judgment of those Qin soldiers.
Just when those Qin soldiers were anxious about these sudden movements, Yamamoto and Ah 13 had already driven their horses to a slightly higher place and looked at the Qin soldiers below condescendingly.
From the perspective of the two of them, it can be seen that although the sudden situation made the Qin soldiers a little panicked, but soon these Qin State scouts calmed down, and the ten scouts were divided into two teams, one team galloped in the direction of Pingxing City, it should be back to report the situation, and the other team stayed, it seemed that they still wanted to be the queen of the robe Ze Palace, and at the same time wanted to continue to reconnoiter the task ahead.
However, because the sky was gradually getting darker, it was not very real, and only the remaining Qin soldiers could be seen leading their horses into the woods, as if they were going to bypass the trees in the middle of the road.
Seeing this, even Ah Shisan, who had always hated the Qin State, had to admit that this group of Qin soldiers scouts was very high--in a sudden situation, he was able to make a correct judgment in a short period of time.
Of course, this so-called "correctness" is only according to the standards of these sergeants in the past, after all, the current situation is just some suspicious tactics deliberately made by two people, and these Qin soldiers have already been tricked.
However, it was obviously impossible to attract the Qin soldiers' brigade by relying on this, because as long as the Qin soldiers discovered the mystery behind the trees, they would understand the truth.
Therefore, if you want to completely turn the vicinity of Pingxing City upside down overnight, you need Yamamoto and Ah 13 to continue to use some means......
At this time, Yamamoto, who was riding on a horse, was dressed in a black robe, and the original white scarf on his face was replaced by a black cloth, and even Ah Thirteen was dressed in the same way, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, even if he knew someone well, Yamamoto and Ah Thirteen could not appear separately at this time.
Watching the Qin soldiers disappear into the woods, the two of them lit the torches in their hands at the same time, the orange fire was so eye-catching and dazzling in the dim night, it almost made the Qin soldiers who stayed behind suddenly notice the abnormality.
………………
"Look, my lord!" A Qin soldier shouted,
Zhizhong, who was leading the horse in the woods, raised his eyes and saw that on the hill in the distance, two figures holding torches appeared there, and under the light of the fire, these two figures could be seen in black robes, riding a horse respectively, but they couldn't really see it, and they couldn't tell who they were.
"Get on the horse, take a shortcut, and be sure to capture these two people alive!" Zhizhong ordered, saying that he should jump on the horse's back first, but what happened next made him involuntarily freeze on the spot.
Because, just behind these two figures, countless points of the same torch light suddenly appeared, densely packed, and it seemed that the entire hill was standing.
The enemy is prepared!
Zhizhong, whose scalp was numb, couldn't help but reach out and press it on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and from his experience, based on the number of torches, there were probably no less than hundred, or even thousands, of people on that hill.
These...... Who exactly is it?
………………
Of course, these dense fires could not be a team of 100 people, in fact, these were just illusions created by Yamamoto using his ability to manipulate the flames.
At this point, Yamamoto's plan was mostly completed - first using abnormal movements and anomalies to attract the Qin soldiers in the city to go out of the city to check, and then on the other side, creating the illusion of a large number of people, so as to attract the attention of the Qin soldiers and make the Qin soldiers feel that there is a "large-scale rebellion".
In this way, the Qin soldiers can relax the blockade of the Mo family's large army as if they were facing a great enemy.
