After receiving Han Zhan's order, Dian Wei ordered his subordinates to continue to march forward, while he turned his horse's head and stood on the side of the road waiting for Han Zhan's arrival.

Han Zhan was very surprised to see that the sword and shield soldiers in front of him did not speed up, while Dian Wei was standing on the side of the road on horseback. He hurriedly urged the horse over, and asked curiously: "Marquis Dianjun, why don't you continue to come and stand on the side of the road?" ”

"Replying to the envoy's words," Dian Wei arched his hand on his horse and said, "In the mountains, archers are indispensable, I wonder if the envoy can assign a few strong crossbowmen to his subordinates?" ”

Hearing Dian Wei say this, Han Zhan immediately realized that he was not thoughtful, and he hurriedly called the leader of a strong crossbowman and ordered him to lead his troops to follow Dian Wei to attack the cottage.

After Dian Wei left with two hundred sword and shield men and fifty strong crossbowmen, Guo Jia said with emotion: "Dian Wei seems to be rude, but he is also rough and fine, and he knows that archers are indispensable in fighting in the mountains and forests. ”

Dian Wei led his troops forward for almost an hour, and then under the leadership of Chen Cha, he left the mountain road and came to a dense forest. Dian Wei looked at the gloomy woods in front of him, called Chen Cha over and asked, "Chen Cha, if you want to go to the cottage, do you have to pass through this woods?" ”

"If you return to the military marquis," Chen Cha said honestly, "the dense forest here is the only way to pass, and after passing this forest, you can see the path leading to the cottage." ”

After Dian Wei waited for Chen Cha to finish speaking, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and ordered everyone to take their swords out of their sheaths and string their bows, and prepare for battle. Then he held the reins of his horse in one hand and the iron halberd in the other, followed behind Chen Cha, and took the lead into the dense forest, followed by two hundred and fifty sword and shield soldiers and strong crossbowmen.

Hundreds of people walked through the dense forest, all of them looking around vigilantly, and no one spoke, fearing that a bandit would emerge from somewhere. Fortunately, there was no danger, until he passed through the woods, he didn't encounter a single bandit, if it wasn't for Dian Wei seeing a mountain road in front of him, he would have thought that Chen Cha had deliberately brought himself to the fork in the road.

Dian Wei stood at the edge of the forest, looking at the mountain road in front of him with a mountain wall on one side and a bottomless cliff on the other, knowing that he was close to the hidden cottage in black. He restrained his subordinates, and then asked Chen Cha: "Is there a secret post of bandits on this road?" ”

"No, no." Chen Cha immediately shook his head like a rattle, "This place is too hidden, even the local mountain people don't know about it, so they don't arrange any secret posts at all." ”

Dian Wei then asked, "How far is it from the village?" ”

"When you cross this mountain road, you will see a walled gate, and there are usually two people guarding the wall." Chen Cha replied: "If it is detected, as long as they close the gate of the wall, no matter how many people there are, they will not be able to enter it." ”

Dian Wei looked at the mountain road that was no more than five feet wide, and felt that Chen Cha was not alarmist. He frowned and thought for a while, then called the two commanders and several team leaders in front of him, and said to them: "The terrain ahead is dangerous, if the bandits detect it, as long as they close the gate and defend it, we will not be able to attack even if there are many people." So I plan to go alone, follow Chen Cha over, and after I control the Zhaimen, you will bring people to kill him. ”

"Marquis, it's too dangerous for you to go alone." As soon as Dian Wei finished speaking, one of the tun chiefs continued: "Why don't I bring a few brothers with you?" ”

Dian Wei grinned, raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder heavily: "No need, if there are too many people, it may arouse the suspicion of the bandits." After I take control of the gate later, you and the brothers will run faster, I am worried that there are too many of them, and I can't carry them alone. His words immediately caused a burst of laughter from his subordinates.

Dian Wei took off the armor on his body, stuck his two large iron halberds on the ground, took off a few short halberds more than a foot long from the saddle, held them in his hands, and said to Chen Cha: "Let's go, take me to the cottage!" ”

Chen Cha saw that only Dian Wei went to the cottage with him, and his legs suddenly weakened with fright, and he said in a loud voice: "Master Jun, there are more than a dozen people in the cottage, all of them are powerful people, you may not be able to cope with it alone, so let's bring a few more people." ”

"Where did all that nonsense come from?" Dian Wei glared at him and urged, "Hurry up and lead the way in front!" ”

Chen Cha didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he could only take Dian Wei and walk towards the front along the narrow mountain road, trembling and praying in his heart, hoping to save his life.

When the two of them were about to reach the end of the mountain road, they suddenly heard someone in front of them shouting, "Hey, stop, who are you?" ”

Chen Cha was frightened, if it wasn't for Dian Wei to pull him in time, he would have fallen directly into the cliff next to him. Dian Wei looked in the direction where the voice came from, it turned out that at the end of the mountain road, a stone wall was built relying on the mountain, the wooden fence door embedded in the wall was closed, and two bandits in short clothes and weapons stood on the wall, looking at the two of them condescendingly.

Dian Wei glared at Chen Cha with his eyes, and ordered him in a low voice: "Tell them that we were sent by the black-clothed village master." ”

Chen Cha, whose hands and feet were weak, could only raise his head, and shouted at the two people standing on the wall in a voice that was a little out of tune because of nervousness: "Two brothers, I am Chen Cha, and I came here to find the second master of the village on the order of the owner of the village." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Chen Cha." The thieves standing on it obviously recognized Chen Cha, and one of them said loudly, "You wait, I'll go down and open the door for you." ”

After not doing much, the thief opened the gate of the village from the inside and said to Chen Cha: "Brother Chen Cha, the owner of the village has not been here for a month or two, and the second owner of the village said today that he is going to send someone to look for you to see if something has happened." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw that Dian Wei, who was standing side by side with Chen Cha, was a fresh face, and he couldn't help but ask vigilantly: "Who are you, why have I never seen you?" ”

Dian Wei sneered and said, "I'm the one who killed you. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a halberd flew towards the bandit. Before the bandit could come to his senses, the halberd had already pierced his chest, and he instinctively covered his wound, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and then fell straight down.

The bandit on the wall of the wall, hearing that something was wrong with the movement below, hurriedly looked down, just in time to see his companion halberd fall to the ground. Seeing this, he couldn't guess what was happening, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "The officers and soldiers are here!" ”

As soon as he shouted, another halberd in Dian Wei's hand flew towards him, piercing his forehead impartially. His voice stopped abruptly, and the inertia was so great that his head jerked backwards. When the inertia disappeared, his body fell limply forward, plunging headlong into the abyss that could not be seen at the end.
