It wasn't until the next day that Liu Tao made a decision. Subsequently...... The army actually drove directly, leaving the county town of Chaoge for ten miles, and secretly camped near the official road to Chaoge.

At the same time, originally from the side of Chaoge County, an army suddenly came, which immediately attracted the attention of Chu Yan in Taihang Mountain.

When the decent people were about to investigate further, the force suddenly left and disappeared.

"Chief, the unit you asked me to investigate has left." The spies returned to the camp and reported to Chu Yan.

"Left?" Chu Yan was a little strange, so she asked, "Do you know where to go?" ”

"According to the local villagers, it seems to have returned to the north." The spy replied.

In fact, after first going ten miles to the north, and then sparing a big bend, he returned to the vicinity of Chaoge County and stationed himself at a distance of five miles from the official road.

That is, the backward transmission of information in this era, coupled with the low mobility of the villagers, cleverly concealed the past.

"It's not quite right, you also reported it before, saying that this army is coming over in two parts. Why leave when you're already here? Chu Yan felt that something was wrong.

If it is said that it is a direct southwest direction, converging with the grain transport team, he can understand. But it is not very realistic to turn back directly.

"I've got this too." Spies, "The villagers heard them complain that there were no suspicious people here, and they had to run for nothing......"

"Oh......" Chu Yan seemed to understand.

Obviously, the grain convoy passed by here a few days ago and met the spies he had sent, so they reported to the higher authorities for the sake of safety. The above received the news, so they sent someone to investigate, but they didn't find it, so they simply left.

If you think about it, it seems a lot more reasonable. In the past two years, he has also somewhat understood the situation of the officers and men. Maybe if the investigation is fruitless, it may be possible to choose to leave.

"By the way, when will the grain delivery team come?" Chu Yan then asked.

"Looking back, in one day at most, you can reach Chaoge's side." Another spy replied.

"You can't wait for them to get to Chaoge, and they will do it halfway!" Chu Yan felt that it was safer to start early. After all, the officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared made him very vigilant.

In addition, the supplies on their side began to run low, making it urgent for him to act as soon as possible.

He abruptly stood up and gave the official order: "Inform the whole army, go with me, now!" ”

If you want to be ambushed tomorrow, then you must go to the predetermined place today to prepare for the ambush. Otherwise, if it passes again tomorrow, it will be too late, and only an encounter will be fought.

"Yes!" A few of the surrounding cronies went down one after another, and soon the robbers gathered.

With Chu Yan's order, thousands of people quickly advanced in the mountains and forests, not too far, less than twenty miles. Since it is not a baggage, it has arrived in two or three hours.

"This woodland is good, do a good ambush here, let's make do tonight, put the medicine down, we can't make a fire tonight!" Chu Yan came to the predetermined ambush site, observed the environment here, and ordered.

In the mountains and forests, the most feared thing is not wild beasts, but mosquitoes. Not to mention that there is no fire and it is torturous, if you light a bonfire at night, it can gather countless mosquitoes, even worse!

In her early years, Chu Yan was in the hands of a certain ranger, and got a recipe to make an insect repellent potion with wormwood and other things, and applied it to the skin, so that mosquitoes would not dare to approach. Spraying some potions around the camp can also keep some beasts from approaching.

The disadvantage is that the taste is very strong, but living in the mountains and forests, there is always a trade-off.

In the evening of the same day, around five or six o'clock in the afternoon, as the cooling ended, Liu Tao turned on the 'Insight of the Wind Dragon' again, but this time he did not put his perspective on the side of Chu Yan's camp, but near this side.

After coming here yesterday, he sent people to carefully observe the surroundings, and found that the place near here, north of the road, was more suitable for ambush. On the one hand, there are mountain forests, and on the other hand, there are mountains close to them. After the raid, they drilled into the mountains and forests, and it was not so easy for the pursuers to find them.

So put the 'Wind Dragon's Insight' here, after all, according to the calculation results, the grain convoy will definitely pass through here tomorrow.

"It seems that I have similar thoughts to Chu Yan......" As the image of this area appeared in his mind, Liu Tao just glanced at it casually, then noticed something, and after taking a closer look, he immediately smiled.

"Brother, could it be that Chu Yan has also come to this neighborhood?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he stepped forward to ask.

"In the mountains and forests not far from us, there is no fire yet, but it is ruthless enough." When Liu Tao said this, he really admired the other party.

Let's just say that on his side, if he hadn't smoked some wormwood and ghost needle grass, he was afraid that those mosquitoes or something would annoy him to death. It's like this here, and it's still in the mountains and forests, so aren't there more mosquitoes?

"I can't see anything when I say anything......" Zhang Fei originally listened to Liu Tao's words, and looked at the mountains and forests in the distance for the first time, but he didn't see the fire, and was about to say strange, only to know that the other party didn't make a fire.

"Then again, so close...... If you don't attack at night, you feel sorry for yourself. Liu Tao sighed, after all, the two sides are less than ten miles apart. And the other party marched here today, and he couldn't make a fire, so he must be very tired when he thinks about it.

"It's just that the other party is in the forest, and my cavalry can't use it......" Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed.

"Easy!" Liu Tao took a closer look at the situation in the thief camp, "Isn't it okay to drive them out of the mountains and forests?" ”

"The problem is, brother, after deducting the cavalry this time, there are only five hundred crossbowmen......" Zhang Fei still felt that it was inappropriate. He is nothing, but Liu Tao's safety must always be taken care of.

"There is no need to worry about this, when the time comes, the light will be blind, and the other party will not be able to see the road, we can see it. They catch up, we just turn around and run, luring them out of the mountains and forests, isn't this just the right time for you to come forward to clean up the mess? Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Can this really be done?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he was a little moved.

"I also cherish my life, right?" Liu Tao pointed at himself, "The key is that I can let them mess up first." ”

If you really want to count it, it doesn't seem to have rained in the last few days. It's not air-drying, but it's good for arson. I just learned 'Fire Arrow' before, and I've been planning to try it out!

"Well, as long as my brother can guarantee this, then I have no opinion." Zhang Fei thought about it and finally agreed.

"There's no need to be too nervous, our enemies haven't realized that they've been discovered by us." Liu Tao said as he kept an eye on that side, although Chu Yan had sent people to guard the surroundings, he obviously didn't notice them.

It would be a shame to let go of such a good opportunity for a night attack......
