The potter felt that he did not have the time to break the question of whether to castrate him or not with the county order, and his main task at the moment was to find a way to block the sneak attack of the Yizhou army.

He didn't have time to deal with idle things.

Of course, if Jin Qi County was really attacked by the Yizhou army in the end, then the potter felt that he would really castrate the whole family of the county commander.

According to the map given to him by the prefectural order, the potter began to study it carefully.

Judging from the location of the county seat, there are a total of five roads to meet the Yizhou army that have fallen down from the mountain!

For potters, this is a bit more difficult.

According to his original plan, he ambushed the soldiers and horses on the way down the mountain, and then launched an ambush war against the Yizhou army, which could be completed in one battle.

But now that the other party has more roads down the mountain, it means that they will not necessarily attack the county seat from that road.

On the mountain, these roads are relatively far from each other, and they cannot help each other, and if they divide their forces to defend, they may not have enough troops.

The potter frowned, and then asked the county order: "Do you understand the situation on the mountain in Jin Qi County?" ”

The county magistrate shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this, but in the county seat, there are many mountain people who often go up to the mountains to cut down or shoot hunting, so the prime minister should not ask them." ”

The potter looked at him with a smile: "Then hurry up and bring the people." ”

The county magistrate looked at the potter's smile, didn't know why, trembled, and hurriedly turned his head and ordered someone to do something.

After a short time, the workers of the county brought a few mountain people, and the potters sent someone to give them wine and food, and then asked them about the situation in the mountains.

Quite well, the potter got useful information from them.

Originally, there were only five roads into and out of the mountain, but there was only one water source on the mountain in the forest.

According to the distance, even if the Yizhou army has crossed the mountain, before going down the mountain, their carry-on supplies must be insufficient, especially water, so this water source will definitely be their primary goal before leaving the mountain.

When the potter heard this, he immediately asked the mountain people to lead his Danyang soldiers to the water source in the mountains.

The ambush is set in this place!

After repairing it, the potter immediately led the Danyang soldiers into the mountain in person.

……

In the early morning of the next day, under the leadership of Zhang Ren, Ling Bao, Deng Xian, and Zhuo Ying, the Yizhou army finally crossed the mountain range and came to the territory of Qianshan in Jin Qi County.

After several days of climbing mountains and mountains, the Yizhou army has long been embarrassed, although this road is not called a lot of hardships, but if it is said to be overcoming thorns, it is not an exaggeration.

In addition to the Yizhou soldiers, Chang Xuan, Wu Dun, Sun Li and other three Taishan thieves who took refuge in Cao Cao were ordered to be guides.

Chang Xuan's mouth is broken, but he is chattering all the way.

"Damn it, I'm dying of thirst! For a small Jin Qi County, but let Lao Tzu suffer such a big sin! With this suffering, the Son of Heaven did not entitle Lao Tzu as a marquis, and he was sorry for Lao Tzu's dedication to the Han court. ”

Zhang Ren has long been accustomed to Chang Feng's complaints along the way, he turned his head and glanced at Chang Xuan, and said: "General Chang rest assured, if we really seize Jin Qi County, it will be equivalent to cutting off the back road of the pottery merchants, not to mention the feudal marquis, even if you add four towns and four expeditions, but it is not an exaggeration." ”

When Chang Xuan heard this, his face suddenly showed joy: "What you say is true. ”

Zhang Ren nodded affirmatively: "Seriously." ”

Anyway, the person who asked Liu Qiong, the son of heaven, for his life was Liu Biao, not him Zhang Ren, and when he turned around, all these messes were piled up to Liu Biao, and he Zhang Ren didn't worry about it, and now he could brag to Chang Feng.

Wu Dun looked up at the sky and said, "According to the time, we should be almost there, right?" ”

Ling Bao said: "According to the time, it is indeed about the same, we need to be careful now, we will have to go down the mountain to attack the enemy army after a while." ”

Zhang Ren turned his head to Deng Xian and said, "Let the officers and soldiers of the three armies temporarily stay in place and rest for a while." ”

When Chang Feng saw that Zhang Ren was going to rest, he couldn't help but be angry, and hurriedly said: "We crossed the mountains and mountains, and finally came here, didn't we sneak attack him Jin Qi County?" Now that he is about to reach the goal, why not hurry up and send troops to attack the city? What are you delaying here? Hurry up and kill it! ”

Zhang Ren turned his head to look at Chang Xuan, and he was not angry, and said, "General Chang kept saying all the way, aren't you thirsty?" But it's not safe to attack the county seat with a dry throat. ”

"Huh?" Chang Xuan was stunned when he heard this.

But seriously, he's really thirsty.

Zhang Ren said lightly: "Even if General Chang is brave and brave, and the gods are not afraid of thirst, but the soldiers of Yizhou are all flesh and blood, and if they don't drink some water, I'm afraid they won't succeed." ”

"Well...... Chang Xuan's face turned red all of a sudden, he rubbed his palms helplessly, and said, "What General Zhang said, alas, it's over, it's over!" Isn't Lao Tzu just in a hurry? Actually, I'm really thirsty. ”

Zhang Ren turned his head and instructed Ling Bao: "The three armies are temporarily resting in place and waiting for orders, and send people to find a water source nearby." ”

When he was young, the soldiers of the state army came back with news that there was a mountain stream nearby.

Zhang Ren immediately ordered the three armies to set off, and all of them went to the place where the water source was.

When I was young, I came to the side of the mountain stream, but I saw that although the stream was not big, it was very clear, and the water was cold.

This is undoubtedly a nectar for the Yizhou army.

The soldiers of the Yizhou army ran to the edge of the stream, and many of them buried their heads directly in the stream, roaring loudly.

Even Zhang Ren, who has always been calm, felt very comfortable after drinking the stream water, and looked up and sighed with satisfaction.

But as soon as he raised his head, he vaguely saw that on the high slope of the mountain forest opposite, it seemed that someone's head was poking out from behind the tree, observing his own soldiers.

The man seemed to notice that Zhang Ren had seen him, but he quickly retracted his head.

Zhang Ren shuddered, and a bad premonition instantly surged into his heart.

"Someone!" Zhang Ren roared loudly.

But the creek is too noisy at the moment, and some Yizhou soldiers have even begun to splash water on each other, and there are really few people who can hear Zhang Ren's shouting......

But they will soon see what Zhang Ren sees.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow shot down from the mountain, hitting the back of a soldier's head, the Yizhou soldier was playing with his companions, and suddenly his expression froze, blood flowed down the back of his head, and his eyes were full of horror.

Immediately afterward, a large rain of arrows shot out from the mountain!

"There are enemies! There are enemies! ”

"Someone is in the mountains!"

"Run!"

Zhang Ren pulled out the saber he was carrying, fiddled with those arrows, and shouted as he stepped back: "Hidden, hidden!" are hidden. ”
