It was a hot day, and the sun shone through the leaves overhead, shining on the green painted iron vest, and soon, the iron vest was as hot as an iron pot.

Lu Dechuan lowered his head, bit a reed tube with his mouth, and sucked gently. A slightly sweet licorice mung bean soup slowly entered his mouth along the reed tube.

He felt that his strength had recovered somewhat, so he quickly spit out the reed pipe, groped with one hand, and fastened the cowhide water bag containing the mung bean soup tightly, and then pushed the water bag into the dirt pit beside him, trying not to take a second look.

There was not much licorice and mung bean soup left in the cowhide water bag, and he didn't know how long he would lie under this tree. Therefore, it is necessary to save a little drink, lest you die of heat stroke on the lurking hillside before the enemy arrives.

In the grass beside him, there was a sudden sound of rustling, not big, but enough to attract Lu Dechuan's attention. Twisting his head slightly, he saw a face stained with grass clippings and mud.

It was his brother Tang Gai, who looked more embarrassed than he was, and the sweat was rolling down the edge of the leather helmet, leaving clear marks on his face and neck, which had been specially painted with grass juice. And because of the heavy smell of the body, more than a dozen flies are reluctantly flying around this person's head, ready to fall down at any time and enjoy a good meal.

"Guy, guy, I want to pee!" Finding that Lu Dechuan was looking at himself, Tang Gai's mouth opened and closed slightly, and he prayed in a voice not much louder than the buzzing of a fly.

"Hold on!" Lu Dechuan's brows furrowed slightly, and his mouth gave a silent command.

"Hmm!" Tang Gai didn't dare to pray anymore, curled up in pain, and gently twisted his legs on the ground to resist the invasion of urine. Lu Dechuan frowned again, and finally made a faint sound from his mouth? "I just thought? After holding it for a while, the urine turned into sweat. Don't be ashamed? We're a teaching group. ”

"Hmm!" Dongay biting his lip? Nodding slightly, he was as aggrieved as a baby.

"Can't help it? Just pee in your pants. Lu Dechuan added in a voice lower than the buzzing of flies, turning his head? Don't look at Tang Gai anymore? Then try to set your eyes on the opposite hillside.

On the opposite hillside, there was also an ambush of a whole group of elite Tang troops. Not from the Teaching Corps, but from the Broken Leaf Battalion.

According to Zhang Si'an, the reason why the town guard envoy arranged it this way? Are you a brother who has the heart to teach the group? Learn a few more from the veterans of the Broken Leaf Battalion so that you can take the lead alone in the future. But Lu Dechuan vaguely felt that it was the veteran on the other side who really carried out the order on this mission. One brigade and one team of the teaching regiment? It's just a plus!

It made him feel humiliated, but? He didn't tell anyone how he felt. Because if he is replaced to transfer troops, he will not be a blow to the enemy? Give it to a group of recruits who have never been on the battlefield.

What does he want to do, and what he can do? Just hold your breath? With the brethren around you? behaved no worse than the veteran on the opposite side. In this way, it is difficult to say who is the head. Anyway, the brothers on both hillsides had the same task. There is no difference between the weapon in his hand and the armor on his body.

On the opposite hillside, there were suddenly a few partridge calls, familiar and cordial. Lu Dechuan's scalp tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly took out the fire pipe from his arms and held it tightly in his hand. Above his head, there was also a faint partridge call, echoing the opposite hillside. Immediately after, the voice of Zhang Si'an, the team, reached his ears close to the grassroots. "Here we are, it's a scout. All of them are lying down, even if they are stung by a wasp, they are not allowed to move! ”

"It's a scout!" Lu Dechuan clenched his teeth and repeated silently in his heart. The arms, thighs, and back all began to tremble uncontrollably.

"They can't see me, they can't see me, the team has clairvoyance in their hands, they don't." A series of prayer-like voices rang in his heart. With round eyes, he continued to grit his teeth, and at the same time, he tried to adjust his breathing using the methods he had learned in the new training camp, and before he knew it, his nails pierced into his palms, piercing out wisps of blood.

More than a dozen Shiguo scouts rushed into the valley between the two hillsides with a shout. The valley is wide, and the slopes of the hills where the Don army is hidden on both sides are also gentle, which is not suitable as an ambush battlefield from any angle. Therefore, the scouts of the Stone Kingdom soon galloped across the valley, and the smoke and dust brought up by the horses' hooves were slowly blown westward by the smokey wind, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely dispersed.

Lu Dechuan's heart was relieved, and his eyes were black. There was a foul smell that came to his nostrils against the ground. Tang Gai was scared to pee, this guy who had no interest didn't hold it back! However, Lu Dechuan didn't have the time to scold him. On the opposite hillside, there was already another partridge sound, and then, overhead, there were also partridges in harmony, making people upset.

The second wave of stone country scouts roared to the sound of partridges. There were three times as many as the first wave, and they ran more than two feet away from each other, slowly running over the valley and the edges of the slopes on both sides. Each scout, while instigating his mount, kept glaring at the horse's back, and kept glancing around.

The nearest scout is less than ten zhang away from Lu Dechuan's hideout! He drew his bow and mounted his feathered arrows.

"Oops, found out!" Lu Dechuan's scalp was furious, his cold hair stood up, and his left hand instinctively grabbed the horizontal knife placed in the grass. However, the scout ran in front of him after drawing his bow and arrows, ignoring him in the grass.

Sweat fell like raindrops from the edge of Lu Dechuan's chin and fell on the blades of grass with a "huge" sound. The sound of breathing is also thick and deep, like a bellows. Tang Gai was trembling, his teeth were pounding, Lu Dechuan could hear it clearly, and he could hear his own heart beating like a drum. However, the scouts of Shiguo were all like deaf people, deaf to such a "huge" movement.

It's just a few breaths, but it's as long as hundreds of years. When the figure of the second wave of Shiguo scouts finally disappeared, Lu Dechuan was already paralyzed in the grass, up and down, and could no longer raise the slightest strength.

However, the ground under his body began to tremble slightly. Immediately after, the violent sound of horses' hooves came from not far away, loud as rolling thunder.

Gritting his teeth, squeezing the last of his strength, he looked up and looked at the source of the sound of the horse's hooves. I saw tens of thousands of war horses, rushing from afar like a tide. Yellow-green smoke obscures the sky.

The whole body was soft and fluttering, as if he had just drunk half a catty of old wine. Lu Dechuan struggled to support his body with his elbows, trembling, and poked a palm-sized copper mirror into the dirt in front of him. Immediately, at the same time, his gaze withdrew from a distance, and he quietly stared at a green rope head pressed under the stone in front of him, as if the rope head was made of pure gold and worth tens of millions.

The ground beneath him rose and fell more and more, like waves in a lake of broken leaves. Lu Dechuan had never taken a boat, but he believed that crossing the river by boat must feel exactly the same as he does now.

Forcibly suppressing the feeling of wanting to vomit, he looked away from the rope and turned to the valley between the hillsides again. Without blinking, the large group of Shiguo cavalry got closer and closer, closer and closer, like a swarm of migrating locusts, leaving a mess wherever they passed.

Because it was less than fifty miles away from Shattered Leaf City, an encounter could occur at any time. Therefore, the soldiers of the Shi Army did not dare to go too fast. And the habit of grabbing all the way also made Shi Jun's team large and bloated. A large number of horses had been stolen from the Turgish, and the warriors were tied to their spare mounts. On the back of each steed was a large bag and a small bag that had been snatched, even a young woman.

"Just like that, it's worthy of being called an army?" The vision cultivated in the new training camp allowed Lu Dechuan to quickly find countless flaws in Shi Jun, and at the same time, it also greatly increased his confidence. Suddenly, his body gained some strength, and he steadily moved the torch close to the end of the rope buried in the dirt. At the same time, his eyes widened and he continued to look at the mirror hidden in front of him.

The vanguard of the enemy army had already passed in front of him. Followed by the relatively neat Chinese army. The sound of horses' hooves in front was like muffled thunder, and the bronze mirror close at hand did not react.

Suddenly, my heart was beating like a drum again, and my breathing was almost stagnant. Gritting his teeth, he continued to wait. Time suddenly became incredibly long, and every flick of a finger seemed to become an hour. I don't know how many "hours" have passed, and at the moment when he was almost suffocating himself to death, a dazzling reflection suddenly appeared on the bronze mirror in front of him.

Quickly looking away, Lu Dechuan twisted the fire pipe with both hands. A burning stench of burning sulfur quickly penetrated his nostrils, and the flames jumped three inches high. Without hesitation, he threw the flame towards the green rope in the dirt, and his eyes narrowed to make sure that the rope was ignited, and a little red star scurried inside the rope head. His whole body suddenly relaxed, and in an instant, he sweated like pulp.

"Who's there!"

"Be careful, there's an ambush!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack—"

………………

Among the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom marching on the valley, some were alarmed by the fire and smoke, and shouted to warn the surroundings. The speed of the procession came to a halt abruptly, and countless people leaned in panic towards the wool in the center. Use your body to form a human wall and provide protection for its manager.

On the periphery of the team, hundreds of scouts quickly picked up their horned bows and turned their heads on horseback to search around. In the panic, there was no figure in sight.

"A bunch of rookies!" On the hillside, Lu Dechuan scolded in a low voice, and a contemptuous smile quickly flooded his face. Immediately, he grabbed the horizontal knife, squatted down, and staggered back.

"Over there, over there!" Finally, someone pointed the way to the stone army scouts. The latter swooped down on the slopes on either side of the valley. Tang Gai, who was following Lu Dechuan's side, did not hesitate to hold his crossbow and pull the trigger towards one of his nearest scouts. In the next moment, the target fell in response, and more scouts roared and rode their horses towards them, like a pack of wild wolves seeing sheep.

"Whoosh ......" A row of crossbow arrows flew out from behind Lu Dechuan, shooting the fastest Shiguo scouts under the horse one by one. Lu Guangsha and another brother rushed forward with a shield and shielded Lu Dechuan and Tang Gai with their shields. The four of them walked backwards together, and a second row of crossbow arrows flew out from their side, bringing down the other seven or eight Shiguo scouts at the same time.

The scouts were stunned, slowed down, and shot on the spot. Dozens of feathered arrows flew towards Lu Dechuan, most of them off target, and a few of them were on target, and they were blocked by the shield. Tang Gai retreated, and while quickly shaking his crossbow, he fired at the scouts of the Stone Kingdom. A little farther away, more Shi Guo soldiers were enraged and pounced in groups.

"Take them down, and don't let any of them go!" Under the wool Daxuan, Yihu Special Service also saw the scale of the Tang Army clearly, and with a blue face, he commanded sharply.

"Yes!" Countless people responded with a bang, randomly, laughing wildly and turning their mounts.

The officers and men of the Shi Army saw very clearly that on the slopes on the left and right sides, there were only a few dozen Tang troops. Obviously aimed at harassment, it is not much of a threat to them. However, in front of their own special services, they could not allow Tang Jun to be so arrogant. They wanted to wipe out these two Tang armies as quickly as possible and at any cost. They will bear witness to their bravery with each other's blood.

They think perfectly, but the reality is extremely cold.

Before their horses could increase their speed, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the soil under the horses' hooves: "Boom! ”

Immediately after, smoke rolled, the earth rose and fell like the sea, flames rose into the air, smoke rolled, and the broken limbs of men and horses flew in all directions!
