Ma Ji dared to be so bold, naturally he was a little afraid, and he didn't even send out ordinary scouts, the reason is of course very simple, in the seemingly calm mountains and forests around here, there are already dense spies of their own families. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Where is the info hidden, even he doesn't know how to get the news, but he knows a little bit, that is, the kind of small box that Jiang Cai held in his hand that he saw at the beginning, and now he has it in his team, but it is just for special use.

At present, what Shi Zhong did was the kind of work that Li Shiyi did in the north, but it was simpler in nature, just for military purposes, and there were a group of people under him, most of whom lived very close to the Song people, and had nothing to do with the villages in this area, plus the language was the same, and the loyalty was reliable, so he became his recruitment target, of course, because the time was too tight, the number of people was only a little, and the average was divided into one in each group, and there was a person to deal with at a critical time, and that's it.

Of course, this is not without flaws, but fortunately, the people of the Yuan people did not completely lean towards the side of the Yuan people, and they only turned a blind eye to their behavior in the mountains and forests when they occasionally encountered them, but they were more interested in the strange things they held.

At this moment, Shi Zhong himself is not on the front line, he is a little further back from the nearest Guide to Dezhou, because at this time, behind him, there are countless sergeants leading horses, such a large team through the mountains and forests, it is not possible without him, a guide who has walked through again, and the most important thing is that the general who leads this walking cavalry army is Jiang Cai, who is currently the commander of the left army.

“...... There are about 1,000 cavalry troops in that place, and there are on the other side and elsewhere, the total number is not easy to say, but it will not exceed 5,000, and the leader of the army is what kind of bird and ten thousand households, and they are stationed in Guohua Prefecture, these are still from the people in the state, speaking of those Mongols, they all gritted their teeth, most of them were also plagued to the point that they could not do it, and I heard that a village at the forefront was almost killed cleanly, and even the children were not spared. ”

Shi Zhong led his horse, walked with Jiang Cai, and when he reached a narrow place, he would go forward, walking in the forest was so wide, not to mention parallel, sometimes he had to turn sideways to barely pass, not to mention that he had to lead a horse in his hand, and now they realized the benefits of the wide horse, the small size will be much more flexible, and the endurance and weight bearing are not inferior at all, which is a good livestock used in the mountains and forests.

Hearing his words, Jiang Cai silently calculated in his heart that this area was divided into two pieces by a right river, and if the Yuan people wanted to cover the left near, they had to divide the troops on both sides. In this way, the cavalry army on this side will not exceed 3,000 people, plus the scattered everywhere, the news of about 1,000 garrisons in Guohua Prefecture in front should be credible, and Jiang Cai's mood is also relaxed, after all, he came out to win the battle, and in an unfamiliar environment, no matter how careful he was, it was just like when he first arrived in Qiongzhou.

No matter what the Yuan people have planned, they basically can't hide the eyes of the spies, since this is the case, of course he doesn't need too many scruples, he is sorry for himself if he doesn't take advantage of such a good condition, so he can use the horse and the department to attract the enemy's attention in front, he can lead the cavalry to move forward unexpectedly, as for what the goal is, it is still unknown, but in doing so, it is difficult for the Yuan people to detect.

Judging from the situation of the battlefield, the entire Youjiang River is a river valley plain, and there are high mountains and dense forests not far away, such a terrain, if you want to play an ideal result, you need to lead the enemy to a special area, and you have to create opportunities if you don't have a chance, this is the truth that Liu Yu often instills in them, Jiang Cai is very knowledgeable about this, because the terrain here is very similar to the surrounding area of Qiongzhou, you must know that the cliff thieves in the mountains are much more difficult to find.

Half of this is a last resort, who knew that Ma Ji was so shameless, and directly robbed the work that should have been cavalry, not only that, there were more than 10,000 people in the front army, and he himself ran in front with 5,000 old troops desperately, and the speed was comparable to that of the cavalry. Helpless, in order not to let him go too deep alone, Jiang Cai could only leave behind his foot soldiers and follow the cavalry along a different road, compared with the two, he was still a lot behind.

This road seems to be close, but it is actually much more difficult to walk, if it weren't for Shi Zhong personally coming back to lead the way, he would not have chosen it this way, now that there are spies in front, the danger of being ambushed by the Yuan people can basically be ruled out, he has such a bold idea, to do it by surprise, you have to take risks, the mountains and forests give them the best cover, and the rest depends on the will of heaven.

Fortunately, this area did not go deep into the mountains, and after the activities of the people, there was no sign of the activity of fierce beasts, even if they stayed in the forest at night, the problem would not be too big. Rao is so, Jiang Cai still chose to be cautious, and did not blindly pursue speed because of backwardness, this situation waited until it returned to Texas, it was even more obvious, not only the speed was much slower, but even the approach was different, once he met an unknown person on the way, he would order him to detain it, of course, the person would not be killed, but handed over to the foot guards behind, even if the other party had any complaints, at this time I couldn't take care of it, because no one knew whether they would turn their heads and tell the Yuan people.

"Slow." At this time, Shi Zhong's true colors as a spy were undoubtedly revealed, in an environment like mountains and forests, the use of the clairvoyant mirror was not as good as his nose and senses, and the sense of smell on the battlefield that he had cultivated over the years rarely made him seldom disappointed. So when he made a gesture to stop advancing, Jiang gave the order without hesitation.

This is almost a one-line team, which drags on for a long time, and the tail is not visible at a glance, but as a veteran brought out by him, each of them can do it like a finger, which Liu Yu also understands very well, so he will not be stupid enough to break them up.

Shi Zhong let go of the reins in his hand, untied a crossbow from the horse, half-squatted while winding while vigilantly observing the front, from Jiang Cai's clairvoyant mirror behind him, there was nothing unusual at all, except for the occasional bird call in the forest, there was only the light sound of the leaves being blown by the wind, but he knew very well that his old brother would never be untargeted.

Holding the winding crossbow, Shi Zhong cats rushed forward, flexible like a wild cat, Jiang Cai followed his figure quietly, but he slowly squatted down, his movements became a demonstration, and the cavalry behind did it one by one, and many people secretly took out their weapons and held them in their hands, just waiting for the moment when the enemy appeared.

Nothing, Shi Zhong walked back with a puzzled face, and before he could explain anything to Jiang, suddenly a strange omen suddenly appeared, he turned around suddenly, flattened the crossbow in his hand, and turned to the direction he had just come. At this moment, a very slight bowstring sounded, and Jiang Cai's face changed suddenly, because he had already heard that the arrow was heading towards Shi Zhong.

"Poof", Jiang Cai's heart suddenly rose to his throat, all this happened too fast, he didn't even have time to rush up and push down Shi Zhong, the hand holding the handle of the knife was sweating, and the surprise in his heart came again, the familiar figure in front of him did not fall, and he didn't even make any movements, just stood there stunned.

Because he turned his back to his own person, no one saw it, Shi Zhong from his forehead to his face, it was full of sweat particles the size of beans, and the sweat that gathered into water flowed down his cheeks, this was not a hot day, but he was scared out, a beautiful carved feather arrow was stuck on the trunk of the tree with his head, and he only needed to move a fraction to nail him to the tree, this is no coincidence, Shi Zhong has such an intuition.

"Which way friends, can you show up to speak?" Shi Zhong let go of the crossbow in his hand and fell to the ground, spread his hands flatly, squeezed out a smile on his face, and made a gesture of peace talks, but his body did not move at all.

After shouting three times in a row, there was no movement in the forest, as if the feather arrow was shot out of the air, until he thought that the other party might not understand the Chinese language, and wanted to call Ah Xi, who had been following him, to come forward, there was a sound in the bushes in front of him, and several black shadows appeared from the mist in the forest, each in the posture of a bow and arrow, slowly forming a semi-circular encirclement according to him, until it was two or three steps away from him before stopping.

Immediately afterward, several more people came out of the woods, watching him and the group behind him warily, the other party obviously did not expect so many people to follow. The one at the head was not the tallest, dressed in ordinary garments, holding a wooden bow in his hand, and carrying a quiver on his back, the feathered arrows in it were the kind nailed to the tree, and his face was painted in the same color as the others, and it was impossible to see the original appearance, I don't know if it was for disguise or custom. He glanced at Jiang Cai's subordinates behind him, then at Shi Zhong, who was motionless, walked straight over, pulled out the feather arrow, and his body was very close to Shi Zhong, who suddenly smelled a strange smell, which made his face embarrassed all of a sudden.

There are not many people on the other side, there are only more than ten people before and after, Shi Zhong didn't dare to guarantee that there were still anyone hiding nearby, because his mind was a little confused at this time. The man at the head didn't notice his expression, but looked at Jiang Cai behind him, from his armor to his helmet, the red bundle on the top of the helmet attracted his eyes, stared for a while, and then bit his lip and opened his mouth.

"You are...... Song people? Jiang Cai was stunned for a moment, the other party spoke not only Chinese, but also how could this voice seem to be made by a woman.
