Cai Guishan led people up the mountain and carefully climbed the rock.

When I climbed Ertai Ridge again, it was already a mess, and there were still some remnants of fire and smoke.

"Brother Guishan, something seems to be staring at us," a dead man whispered

Cai Guishan looked around, "Don't be suspicious, except for the dead, it's our group of dead soldiers, don't be afraid!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if something was panting around him, and he turned his head to see Cai Guishan frozen.

The dead soldiers around him were about to draw their knives, but Cai Guishan stopped them, made a silent gesture with his fingers, and then took out a small piece of jerky from his arms and threw it over.

A big black dog, which was panting after them at some point, walked towards the jerky, sniffed, but did not eat.

The big black dog wagged his tail and grinned back a few steps, and three more dogs came behind him.

Now it's troublesome, once the dogs bark, their position is exposed, and the surprise attack is not only meaningless, but if the Wei army counterattacks, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just as he was deciding whether to kill the dog, the four dogs suddenly obediently lay down and trembled. When everyone looked at it again, cold sweat came out.

Behind the dog, a few tigers actually appeared, no wonder the dogs were all too frightened to move.

The dogs don't bark anymore, but with a few more tigers, the trouble is even greater. Cai Guishan scolded lightly, "Bad luck, I met a few tigers at once, I really didn't look at the days when I went out today!" ”

The tiger on the opposite side actually stood up, and Cai Guishan and everyone hurriedly took a few steps back from the front of the sword.

The tiger stood up and beckoned to them, "Did you get dirty with the water here?" ”

Tiger Sperm? This thought flashed through Cai Guishan's mind, and then he realized that there was a person on the other side, "We are also here to find water, and the water under this mountain has been soiled by thieves, who are you?" ”

The five tigers took off their hoods, it turned out to be local hunters, and the water in the village was all stinky and dirty these days, so they went up the mountain overnight to see the water source.

The hunter at the head tied the four dogs to the tree with a rope, and then tore off a handful of tiger fur from the tiger skin and threw it on the ground, and the four dogs continued to lie motionless under the tree.

After the hunter approached, he continued to ask Cai Guishan, "You really didn't get dirty with this water?" I see that you are dressed in black and holding knives, you don't look like good people."

Cai Guishan wanted to stun them, but before he could move, the hunter who took the lead had already put his left hand around him and pinched his hand holding the knife with his right hand, "You better put the knife down and talk first, I'm afraid you will plot against us"

Cai Guishan tried to break away but found that he couldn't move, so he had to throw away the knife, "Brother, we are really not bad people, we are also uneven and draw knives to help, in order to drink clean water, go to them to seek justice!" ”

Only then did the leading hunter let go of Cai Guishan, "Then believe you, listen to the accent, you are not from us, what are you doing here so far away?"

"To tell you the truth, we went to Sanjiangkou, and when we passed through this place, we encountered the Wei army intercepting us, so we fought, but this water could not be taken over," Cai Guishan said truthfully

"It turns out that you are here to fight the official army, okay, we will help you, those people come to loot us every year with a large number of people, so that we farm every year and some people starve to death every year!"

"Then you are such a good martial artist, why don't you resist?" Cai Guishan thought to himself, just with your strength, the commander of my dead soldier battalion is not an opponent, and he is actually afraid of the officers and soldiers.

"Alas, the five of us brothers are not afraid, but we still have parents, wives and children, relatives and friends, aren't we? Once you rebel, you will be connected! ”

"Oh, I see, yes

, dare to ask how many heroes have a high surname? ”

"My name is Song Yihu, and the rest are my younger brothers, Song Erxiong, Song Sanwolf, Song Sibao, and Song Xiaozhu!" The hunter at the head is Song Yihu

Cai Guishan and his subordinates almost laughed out loud, this name is too casual.

"Brother Yihu, you have thought about it, follow us to attack the official army at night tonight, but there is no way out!"

"If you don't recapture the water source, all the seedlings will have to die, and the whole village will have to starve to death. Song Yihu said very simply

"By the way, you brought these four dogs?" Cai Guishan pointed to the four trembling dogs

"This is the dog of the officials and soldiers, our dog can't grow so fat, this dog wilts when it smells of the tiger, and it doesn't dare to bark. You have to meet us too, or the officers and soldiers will notice when these dogs bark! Song Yihu introduced them to them, and instructed his four younger brothers to pluck some tiger hair from the tiger skin and hand it over to everyone

"Bring the tiger fur on your body, and you'll be fine if you meet a dog again!"

Cai Guishan can be regarded as having gained knowledge, one is to use dogs to warn, and the other is to use the smell of tigers to shock evil dogs. "Okay, Brother Yihu. We'll follow you tonight! ”

Cai Guishan thought that following the five brothers would be able to touch the mountain and raid An Siqing's camp. As a result, I climbed the mountain for a few hours, but I went to the water source.

Cai Guishan was about to speak, but Song Yihu asked him to lie down, and everyone fell down one after another.

Sure enough, a team of Wei soldiers came to check, and the Wei soldiers turned around a few times and then left.

"Brother Yihu, aren't we going to raid the official army? How did you come here? ”

Song Yihu pointed to the water source, "Let's get the water thing first, your people and our whole village are waiting for this water!" ”

Cai Guishan had to take everyone to move the stones with them, and dug out the soil with his hands, leading the water from the source to the original ditch.

After finishing this thing, it was almost the fourth watch, and there was no chance to raid An Siqing's camp again, so Cai Guishan had to take them back to the camp together.

As soon as everyone got off Ertailing, they met Deng Liang and brought someone to respond.

"You've been tossing and turning for most of the night, are you getting lost in the mountains? Why is there no shouting at all? Deng Liang was a little curious

"We went to find a water source, not to attack the enemy camp at night, didn't Master Li let me go to the raid" Cai Guishan knew that this was a good opportunity for his own defense, so he said that he was going to find a water source.

Deng Liang didn't ask much, but went to Li Xiaofei's camp with them to resume his life.

Li Xiaofei was originally worried about the safety of the Dead Soldier Camp, but as a result, not only did the Dead Soldier Camp not die in the middle of the night, but also brought back five, which made Li Xiaofei breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Xiaofei looked at the five hunters, and sure enough, they were all strong and powerful people, "Five brothers, if you don't dislike it, come to my account to be a personal soldier!" ”

"Do you pay for food?" Song Yihu asked

"If you are full, you will be paid a monthly salary, and the five of you will be cashed out to you now!" After that, he asked his subordinates to fetch money and cloth and send them to them.

Song Yihu and the others were not polite, and they were going home after taking these money-making cloths.

Cai Guishan couldn't help it, "Brother Yihu, didn't we say that we would join the army under our account of Master Li, why do we have to leave?" ”

"We still have wives and children at home, we have to send things back first, rest assured, in three days, the five of us brothers will definitely come to the camp to follow Master Li!"

Li Xiaofei waved his hand, "Go, I believe you, by the way, give the money cloth to your family."

In the future, you have to be more careful. The officers and soldiers on the mountain are not good at stubble! ”

"Farewell, we have our own measure, and please see it in three days!" After speaking, the five brothers of the Song family left Li Xiaofei's tent.

Outside the camp tent, Yuan Xin was sobbing, and the cry also alarmed Li Xiaofei, Li Xiaofei came out to pull Yuan Xin into the camp tent, but Yuan Xin refused to get up.

"So many people, they were fine in the morning, and they all died after a trip! This! ”

"Cry, cry, just sleep, this is the battlefield, people will die, if you feel that you can't hold on, we won't force you to stay, and the salary can be settled for you at any time!"

Yuan Xin looked up at Li Xiaofei, "I'm not leaving, I have to avenge these colleagues!" They were doctors, but they were also mercilessly shot by the officers and soldiers! ”

"Good boy, have ambition, okay, then you stay, by the way, I still have a few pieces of jerky in my account, if you cry and are hungry, go and get them to eat!" Li Xiaofei patted Yuan Xin's shoulder, and then pointed to his tent

Yuan Xin nodded and continued to sit on the ground, Li Xiaofei turned around and went to inspect the battalions again.

It was another sleepless night, and Li Xiaofei felt a huge sense of responsibility and pressure for leading the new army this time.

It's strange to say that when I was in Liyang, I brought thousands of people, and I didn't worry about everything like today, let alone think that the death of hundreds of people would have any impact.

I think it should be that Li Xiaofei used himself and others as cannon fodder at that time. And now that the new army brought out from the South China Sea, Li Xiaofei always feels that no one is missing, and all of them are treasures.

"My lord, it's not early, it's dawn soon, if you don't take advantage of this time to sleep, I'm afraid there will be no chance during the day!" Hua Xiaoan persuaded Li Xiaofei to hurry up and go to sleep.

"In case the enemy army comes, what in case?" Li Xiaofei still refused to go to sleep

"If you're not there, the generals won't know how to deal with it? Adults must bow down, these novice generals will never be able to grow, and this combat power will not be able to improve."

"During the day, I was negligent, and I lost hundreds of people, and I also got eleven doctors, I really didn't dare to be careless. You've been with me all night, you can sleep first" Li Xiaofei said as he went back to the camp, and Hua Xiaoan had to wrap a blanket in the tent and lie down.

Li Xiaofei suddenly remembered the matter of the water source and was about to go to the four commanders to discuss the matter of water storage. As soon as they came out of the camp, Deng Liang and Lin Changsheng came.

"Lord Li, our two battalion brothers dug ditches and pits overnight to store water, and now we have eighteen pools of clear water, which is enough for us to eat for half a month!" Deng Liang said

"Yes, thanks to you and Cai Guishan, otherwise we would have had to withdraw our troops!" Li Xiaofei praised them, and at the same time began to recall Hua Xiaoan's words.

"Slow, this eighteen-foot pool of clear water, it still needs to be filtered, in case the Wei army is poisoned, the consequences will be unimaginable" Lan Datou spoke in the back

Li Xiaofei looked at Lan Datou, "Sir, is there a good way to filter water?" ”

"Collect some local plantain leaves, sand, stones, grass and wood ashes, let the flowing water pass through, and set up four filters to retain water and be non-toxic"

After Lan Datou finished speaking, Deng Liang and Lin Changsheng went to take someone to make a filter again, and after a while, they made four filters.

An Siqing sent people to Ertailing and halfway up the mountain to investigate during the day, but he didn't see the Southern Navy, thinking that the Southern Navy had withdrawn due to lack of water.

In the afternoon, An Siqing saw the smoke of the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain, and was busy thinking of the water source on the top of the mountain, so he personally led people to investigate.

After this investigation, I found that the water source had been touched. Ouyang Ning was shocked, "This, this, the enemy has touched here, but only moved the water source, and has not sneak attacked, it is really fortunate"
