Langshui, a tributary of the Yangtze River, that is, the Jialing River in later generations, Li Qing and his party of 300 people came to the ferry, but could not find a ferry.

"What's going on? Why is this ferry empty? ”

Li Qing looked at the ferry that had obviously been in use, and said puzzledly.

Qing was also very surprised, this ferry port is the only ferry port from Langzhong to Jiangzhou, and there should be no ferry.

Li Qing frowned, this was obviously not normal, at this moment, Fan Cheng found a tea farmer wearing cloth clothes not far away, and hurriedly called a few soldiers to bring the tea farmer to Li Qing.

When did the tea farmer ever see so many armor soldiers with weapons, after coming to Li Qing, his legs were weak, and he was about to kneel.

Li Qingke didn't have the preference to be bowed down by others, so he hurriedly helped the tea farmer up and asked, "This big brother, why is there no ferry boat at this ferry?" ”

The tea farmer was a little surprised to see Li Qing so kind, although this tea farmer had never seen the world, but because he often went to the city to sell tea, he also spoke a lame official language.

The tea farmer said: "General, there were originally a lot of boats here, but I don't know why, a group of people came yesterday and drove all the boats at the ferry to the other side." ”

"Yesterday, to the other side?"

When Li Qing and the others heard this, an ominous premonition welled up in their hearts, if there was no ship for a long time, then Li Qing could still understand it, but there was no ship recently, so it was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting him.

"My lord, the situation is not right, we might as well return to Langzhong City now in case of accidents."

Fan Cheng said a little nervously, as a soldier, Fan Cheng keenly smelled the smell of danger.

Li Qing looked at the sky, shook his head, and said, "It's too late, even if we rush to Langzhong now, we won't be able to return to Langzhong before dark." ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Fan Cheng looked around, the look on his face, more and more nervous, the ferry is a very empty place, on the left side of the ferry, there is a small forest, on the right, there is a hill, these places, are a good place for ambushes, and the only way to survive is a winding path, this trail, leading to Fuling Tong County.

Li Qing looked at Fan Cheng, who was slightly flustered, and said comfortingly: "Fan Cheng, now it's not you asking me, but I'm asking you what to do, you are a battlefield general, let me ask you, if you encounter this situation on the battlefield, what should you do?" ”

"Me?"

Looking at Li Qing's trusting eyes, Fan Cheng's restless heart calmed down, Fan Cheng is not a useless person, he who has followed Meng Tian to fight for half his life, although he is known for his bravery, but his perennial experience in the army has made Fan Cheng know how to avoid danger better than Li Qing.

Fan Cheng pointed to the woods on the left and said, "The woods here are dense, and thousands of elite soldiers can be hidden inside. ”

Fan Cheng pointed to the hill on the right and said, "This mountain on the right, although it is not big, can also bear thousands of soldiers. ”

Li Qing nodded, pointed to the mountain road and asked, "Then can we only take that road?" ”

Fan Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of brilliance at this time, and he said, "No, that way is the real dead end." ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Fan Cheng pointed to the winding mountain road and said: "The mountain road is winding, once you enter, the enemy only needs to block the intersection, and we will be completely blocked inside." ”

Li Qing followed Fan Cheng's eyes, and sure enough, the mountain road was rugged, if something happened in the mountain road, and there was a hundred and ten people holding bows and crossbows at the intersection, squatting to block the road, then his more than 300 soldiers would have to be completely explained here.

Li Qing felt a sense of admiration for this Fan Cheng in his heart, although this Fan Cheng was just a small partial military captain, but the prediction of the crisis was above himself.

Li Qing continued to ask: "Then in Captain Fan's opinion, what should we do?" ”

Fan Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of battle intent, and said: "One battle is enough, we are all the strongest warriors in Great Qin, equipped with the most sophisticated battle armor in Great Qin, I don't believe that some thieves can help us." ”

"Last to the odds?"

Li Qing was shocked in his heart, he was only more than 300 people, and the enemy, I don't know how many, where did this Fan Cheng get the confidence to be able to say such a thing in a battle.

Fan Cheng said with a smile: "My lord is the Great Qin Inspector Imperial History, in this land of Bashu, no one dares to openly attack the Lord, so the number of enemies will definitely not be too much, but they should all be dead soldiers, but for my Great Qin soldiers, the so-called dead soldiers are no different from dead corpses." ”

Speaking of the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, Fan Cheng seemed very confident, although the Qin soldiers suffered a lot of losses along the way, but they were all non-combat attrition, along the way, it was either a poisonous miasma or a cliff, which had already made the Qin soldiers hold their stomachs, and now some people came to provoke without knowing whether they were alive or dead, which could be used to vent.

Li Qing looked at Fan Cheng solemnly and asked, "Captain Fan, are you sure?" ”

Fan Cheng grinned and said: "As long as it is not Ziche Zhong'an, there are more than a thousand thieves, and I, Fan Cheng, can also protect the adults." ”

Speaking of this, Fan Cheng suddenly drew his sword in his hand and shouted, "Great Qin will win." ”

"Great Qin will win."

"Victory."

"Victory."

The soldiers of the Qin army all shouted loudly, and the sound resounded through the ferry, startling countless birds in the forest.

Since it has been decided to fight the unknown enemy head-on, how to fight has become a problem that Li Qing and others should think about.

Because of the march all the way, in addition to the necessary food and grass, Fan Cheng and the others did not bring too much equipment, especially bows and crossbows, and there was no one, but fortunately, the Qin soldiers each carried a shield, and there was no shortage of long and short weapons in their hands, although they did not have the ability to attack from a distance, but in close combat, there was no problem at all.

Although it is said to be a battle against the water, but it cannot be completely unprepared, Fan Cheng led people to the forest to cut down trees and make barriers, originally Li Qing was worried that the enemy would suddenly kill, but it turned out that the enemy was more timid than Li Qing imagined, or, as Fan Cheng said, the enemy only wanted to force Li Qing and others into the mountain road, and did not want to engage the Qin army head-on.

On the hill, a bald man touched his half-bald head, looked at the Qin army who was cutting down trees, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that these soldiers and barbarians can still build ships and cross the river?" ”

There was also a white-faced scholar next to the bald man, and this scholar was also puzzled at this time, in their expectations, the current Qin army should take advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark and quickly enter the mountain road.

"It's not good, the situation has changed, Aman, you hurry up and call someone to inform the fourth master, don't ambush, the Qin army and they have seen through our plan."

When the white-faced scholar saw that Qin Jun had actually started to make barricades, he didn't know Qin Jun's plans, and he immediately couldn't even call out.

The bald man Ah Man hadn't reacted yet, he was a little stunned for a while, and the white-faced scholar was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and urged repeatedly: "Ah Man, don't be stunned, when the Qin army has built a barrier, we will be able to destroy them again, but it will be difficult." ”
