A thousand men and horses shouted and rushed in, and after Li Yan and others entered the village, they looked around and couldn't help but be stunned. [No pop-ups. 】

Seeing that the village was quiet, as if there was no one, a stone path went straight up, leading to a dozen large houses on the hill, and he ordered five hundred people to kill and take a look.

With the shield-bearers in front, the archers in the back, and the spearmen in the center, the men struck upwards in a standard covering formation, but, like Fang Cai, they met no resistance and fought their way into the houses.

After some searching, someone reported that there was nothing in the house, not to mention thieves, not even a dog.

The red lady smiled: "It must be this group of thieves, seeing that we are moving the crowd, and there are countless people and horses, I scared them away." ”

Li Yan shook his head lightly: "I don't think it is, if you flee in a hurry, the village will definitely be messy, but you see, there is no mess in the village, that is, they are evacuated in an orderly manner." The food and money in the stockade have been taken away. They didn't even leave us a single piece of cloth. ”

The red lady said: "Since they ran away, let's not chase after it, and burn this village to him." ”

Li Yan sighed: "It's just a few broken houses, what is there to burn, forget it, let's take a rest, and then go back to Meixian." ”

Everyone began to rest on the spot, a Qin army was thirsty, saw that there was a well in the village, so he went to the well to fetch water, he carried a rope, hung a small iron bucket, ready to throw down the well, but looked into the well, it was full of large stones, and the well had already been sealed.

This Qin Jun shouted: "These stinky thieves have done a great job and sealed all the wells." ”

When Li Yan heard it, he was shocked, and hurriedly came to the well to check, and then he stomped his feet and shouted: "It's not good, everyone quickly exit the village." ”

Everyone didn't know what was happening, and they didn't think about it, so they hurriedly retreated outside the gate.

But it was too late, only to hear a loud bang outside the walled gate, countless rolling wood and stones have smashed the walled gate, the walled gate collapsed, the messy stones piled up high, and the way out was completely blocked.

If you want to go down the mountain, there is only one road, that is, the one in front of the walled gate, and now the walled gate has collapsed, blocking the road, Li Yan stared at it, and there were a lot of big stones and broken wood on the road, and the mountain road became often difficult to walk.

At the same time, I only heard the sound of shouts in the wind, and in the surrounding forests, valleys, and hillsides, many people appeared, and they actually waved a large flag, and a red tiger was embroidered on the flag.

No need to ask, it's a sitting tiger.

The red lady snorted: "There aren't many of them, let's rush out." ”

Li Yan said: "Wait, the mountain road has been sealed, it is full of stones, and the brigade of people and horses cannot pass." The red lady said: "What are you afraid of, it's just some stones piled up on the road, you can go out." Let's just walk on the stones. Li Yan said: "Do you think that the Tiger will let us go out in peace and forth?" He must have laid down a strong bow and a crossbow, and as soon as we walked on the rock, he would fire his bow and arrows. ”

The red lady said: "They are a gang of bandits, how many arrows can they have?" If you're afraid, I'll open the way ahead. ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Li Yan agreed or not, he snatched the shield from a Qin army, pulled out the sword with one hand, and shouted: "Follow me." ”

More than 100 people followed the red lady, holding a shield and a single knife, and rushed to the gate of the village, Li Yan didn't stop him, so he had to shout: "Be careful......"

The red lady took the lead, came to the gate of the village, climbed the stone, rushed out, the outside was full of stones, the size was different, she had to jump forward.

At this moment, I saw the big flag in the distance shake three times, and immediately there was a sound of breaking the air in the wind, and more than a dozen feather arrows shot at the red lady.

The red lady used her shield to protect her body, and those arrows couldn't shoot her, so she rushed out more than twenty steps, and the people behind her also rushed over. The red lady sneered in her heart: These thieves, what is so terrible, when I take people to rush out, I can kill them immediately.

She was thinking about the place of triumph when she suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky, and when she looked up, a stone the size of a human head flew over her head and fell into the crowd behind her.

Screams erupted. A Qin soldier was stoned to the shield, and the huge force immediately smashed the wooden shield to pieces, along with the arm of the Qin army, which was also broken.

Immediately afterwards, stones of various sizes were thrown down one after another. Although most of these stones deviated from the target, many of them fell into the crowd, injuring more than a dozen people instantly.

And the Red Lady and the others only rushed out of more than 20 steps, and there is still a long way to go before they want to kill the enemy. The red lady shouted: "Get down and hide behind the stones." ”

The more than 100 people all bowed down, each looking for a large rock to shelter.

But this is not a way, because it is the Qin army who is in a hurry to rush out, and the thieves outside are not in a hurry, these people are hiding in the forest, and they can't shoot them with arrows, and the sitting tiger commands dozens of people, every group of three, and ties two leather ropes to the trunks of two trees to make a huge slingshot, as long as the Qin army dares to rush forward, it will shoot stones. More than a dozen large slingshots, the only way down the mountain, completely blocked.

The Red Lady and the others were suppressed on the road, unable to move, the Red Lady did not expect that the other party would use stones against them, this thing is much more powerful than crossbow arrows.

When the sitting tiger saw that Qin Jun didn't dare to raise his head, he sat on the hillside and laughed, so angry that the red lady's eyes were on fire.

Li Yan gave the order behind him and told them to come back. The red lady had to take people back to the village, and when they walked back, the sitting tiger did not launch stones, but made people laugh in the distance and play Qin Jun.

The red lady was full of shame, and when she saw Li Yan, she blushed: "I should have listened to your orders, and I was in a hurry to kill them, and I hurt a lot of people." Li Yan comforted her: "It's okay, fortunately, there are no dead people, let's not worry about it first, find another way." ”

So the Qin army rested in the wall, and the sitting tigers outside did not attack, but only blocked the way down the mountain and did not let them go out, apparently trying to trap the Qin army in the wall.

When the Qin army sat from morning to dusk in the afternoon, everyone was very thirsty because there was no water to drink, Li Yan kept smiling and comforting the soldiers, telling them not to worry, as long as it was dark, they could rush out.

Everyone thinks about it, after dark, the road is dark, and the stones of the thieves are useless, and even if they are smashed indiscriminately, they will not hurt many people.

So they waited for it to get dark.

The red lady sat next to Li Yan, looked at the sunset in the sky in the west, and then looked at the thieves in the distance, and said hatefully: "This guy is a bit of a thief." Li Yan said: "Yes, otherwise they would never have the courage to dare to argue with the Qin army." The red lady said: "When we kill them, we must destroy them." I will use the sword you gave me to cut off the head of the sitting tiger. ”

Li Yan smiled: "I can't see it." ”

The red lady was stunned: "Why?" ”

Li Yan said: "When we are employing people right now, the Sitting Tiger will fight, so it is better to put it under the account, and it can be regarded as a general." The red lady sighed: "But I don't know what this guy's humanity is!" If it's a robber who burns and kills and plunders, then it might as well be beheaded. ”

Li Yan nodded: "Yes, the military discipline of our Qin army can't tolerate such a person." ”

As he spoke, it became dark.

Li Yan instructed: "Everyone eat some dry food and prepare to break through." Since there was no water to drink, everyone straightened their necks, swallowed the dry food in their stomachs, and rolled their eyes in choking, Li Yan was also a little funny when he looked at it.

After dark, the thieves in the distance on the opposite side lit a lot of torches, but they couldn't shine on the road, and the road was still dark.

Li Yan saw that it was not too early, and quietly ordered, and the Qin army quietly drove towards the road with two hundred shield soldiers, followed by a large group of men. Li Yan instructed everyone to pull out the line, not to gather together, and to try to divide as much as possible, so as not to fly over the stones and cause many casualties.

Two hundred shield-bearers were in front of them, and they crawled through a stretch of road, and although they tried not to make a sound, there were too many stones on the road, and many people still stepped on the stones and made a sound.

After every sound, these Qin soldiers would bend down and hide behind the stones, waiting for the stones on the opposite side to fly, but unexpectedly, no matter how loud the sound was, there was no movement on the other side.

The Qin army became more courageous, and they didn't care about making a sound, and the two hundred people sped up, and finally crossed this stone road and came to a relatively flat mountain road.

Li Yan and the Red Lady led the army to follow, and after a while, they also crossed the stone road, and when they came to the mountain road, everyone walked to the torch to take a look, and couldn't help laughing and scolding for a while.

It turned out that there were no human figures there, just torches stuck in the trees. The sitting tiger has already led the people and fled without knowing where to go.

Everyone laughed and said: "These thieves are just silver-like wax spear heads, which are useless, and they don't dare to fight in front of them, so they smear the soles of their feet with oil." ”

Li Yan said: "No matter what you say, people retreated, but we injured more than ten brothers, this battle is a loss, the reason is me." Everyone said: "Li Gongzi don't blame himself, this time he was just careless......"

A thousand Qin troops lit torches and, under the leadership of Li Yanhong's lady, walked out of the mountain.

Li Yan frowned as he walked, and the red lady saw it on the side and asked, "What's wrong?" This time it's just a small setback, so there's no need to be in a daze. Li Yan shook his head lightly: "I feel that the situation is a little wrong." ”

The red lady said: "What do you mean?" ”

Li Yan said: "This gang of thieves took great pains to fill in the well and set up a stone machine, why did they withdraw without saying a word as soon as it got dark?" ”

The red lady said: "Isn't this easy to guess?" It was dark, the stone machine lost its head, and it couldn't stop us, and the sitting tiger also knew this, and he didn't dare to fight with us head-on, so he withdrew his troops. ”

Li Yan said: "It seems like this, but in my heart, I am always unsteady." ”

A thousand Qin troops walked on the mountain road, and the torches formed a long dragon, which was very spectacular. As they walked on, they came into a valley, which they walked about five miles long, and the mountains on either side were not high, and the slopes were not steep, and they were not dangerous. Therefore, after the thousand Qin troops entered the valley, they didn't care.
