The Beginning of Troubled Times Volume 16: Surprise Attack (1)
There was only a crescent moon left in the sky, and the faint light dragged the thin shadows of the trees long, long, and there was always a rustling sound from the low bushes, probably small things like rats and rabbits, and the occasional hoarse chirping of crows streaked over the air.
The soldiers on the night patrol were a little hairy in their hearts, and they didn't dare to go too far from the people in the same team, they were all five big and three rough men, and their courage was naturally greater than ordinary people, but when they saw the scene of the Shen Shan Yuan, they would inevitably be afraid, and no one could walk at night and suddenly tripped over a dead man's hand.
"How many corpses are there in this Shen Shan Yuan?" Someone suddenly asked.
"Who can tell, but the 100,000 coalition troops are all there, do you think it can be less?" Someone answered him.
"Anyway, it's 70,000 or 80,000, you've seen that scene, right? It's really a tragedy. ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, I'm scared when I think about it, it's been more than a month, and no one has come to collect their bodies." The person asking the question shrunk his neck and stopped talking.
"Hey, brother, what are you afraid of," the man behind him patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Can we old men still be afraid of a ghost?" ”
"Who can tell the hell?" The man turned his head and wanted to say something more, but he was frightened and screamed, sat on the ground with a butt, and screamed a few times, several sergeants in front turned around together, clenched the weapons in their hands, and saw the man walking at the end of the line with a grimace, and the corners of his mouth and eyes did not know what to use to smear red, and the man sitting on the ground covered his chest with one hand and said with a crying voice: "Brother, don't scare me, I am naturally timid." ”
The few people in front of them scolded and put away their weapons again, "Don't do this kind of child's trick!" Patrol well! ”
"Hahaha, look at you're scared." The man said as he reached out and wiped his face with his sleeve.
"Let's go," the man who asked the question stood up, took a few steps forward, looked back at the man behind him, saw that he didn't move, and scolded with a smile: "What? Are you still coming? ”
The man behind him slowly lowered his hand, blood kept coming out of his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot, his body twisted slightly, it seemed that he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak.
"Hey, it's pretty similar this time, don't play with it......" Before he finished speaking, a knife suddenly pierced his chest from behind, and the last thing that caught his eyes was the man's weakly collapsed body.
"Enemy ......!" The patrolling chief had his throat slit, and his torch fell to the ground, quickly extinguished. The destruction of this squad did not attract anyone's attention, and the men in black who had killed them changed into their clothes, re-lit their torches, waited in place for a while, and walked to the Qingzhou army camp as if nothing had happened. Not far away, the sentry's eyes widened, but they could no longer make a sound.
"Yo, the brothers are back?" The camp guard greeted warmly, "It's not cold in the woods, is it?" ”
"Well," the leading man replied lightly, and walked in quickly, leaving only the guard standing in place with a puzzled expression, "Didn't this guy brag to me just now, why has he become so cold now?" ”
They turned a corner and scattered in different directions, as if they were strangers they didn't know at all, and no one noticed the extra saber at their waists.
Su Jingchen passed by them, and was suddenly stunned, these people have an invisible coercion, which is something that only people who have been on the battlefield for a long time have, these people ...... And those just now don't seem to be a wave? But isn't there only one team of people who go on patrol every time?
He wanted to go up and confirm again, but was suddenly stopped by Nie Qing, "Brother Su, let's go." ”
"Oh." Su Jingchen turned around and caught up with the team.
"Is this Tuoba Yan really so godly?" As soon as he entered the forest, Zhang Xiao's words box opened, "Can you win 10,000 against 100,000?" ”
Nie Qing smiled bitterly, then turned his head and explained to him, "Tuoba Yan is certainly powerful, but it is still his military advisor, Gongsun Yuan, if it weren't for Gongsun Yuan, this Tuoba Yan would not have the courage to rebel." ”
"Who is this Gongsun Yuan?" Xie Chao also interjected, and he said jokingly, "God operator? ”
"Kebi Xi and the Emperor's Linghu Ke!"
"Then this makes ......"
"Okay, okay," Ryuji interrupted Zhang Xiao impatiently, "It's not that you don't know anything, you might as well concentrate on patrolling, and be careful not to let Tuoba Yan's soldiers quietly cut your throat!" As he spoke, he reached out and wiped it around his neck, rolling his eyes.
Su Jingchen couldn't help laughing because of his expression, but he was too embarrassed to laugh directly, so he had to turn his head, cover his mouth with one hand, and cough dryly. Nie Qing laughed generously, he held a torch, walked in the front, and said, "Okay, let's concentrate on patrolling, don't make any mistakes." ”
Deep in the woods, where even the moonlight could not reach, several pairs of eyes with heart-chilling eyes suddenly opened.
The Qingzhou military camp, the protection here is more strict than the outside, there are countless sentry posts, patrolling a team of five people, a stick of incense and a change, a full twenty teams of people in every corner of the camp are constantly patrolling, even the birds passing in the sky will also arouse their vigilance.
A man sneakily touched into the corner between several tents, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he was about to dig out the things hidden on his body, when a voice suddenly came from behind him, "What are you doing?!" ”
The man tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Isn't this an urgency to urinate, isn't it convenient to find a place where no one is?" ”
"Really?" The questioning man agreed, leaning over to him a little.
The man remained silent, but quietly held the dagger hidden on his body, and as long as the man made any suspicious movements, he would not hesitate to slit his throat. The man who asked the question walked up to him, like a friend who had known him for many years, and laughed and said, "I'm also here for convenience, and I'm worried that I can't find a place, so I saw you, you really found a treasure of feng shui." ”
"Really? Hahaha," the man retracted his hand and pretended to untie his trousers.
When the man who asked the question was finished, he didn't untie his trouser belt, "Brother, what's the matter with you?" Don't pee under the light for half a day? The man who asked smiled teasingly.
"Hey, I can't help it! I couldn't untie this trouser belt for a long time, and I was almost suffocating. ”
"I'll help you?"
"No, no, you go first, I'll untie it right away," the man smiled awkwardly, "Besides, I can't let you untie my trouser belt, and you're not one of those smart girls in the Qinglou." ”
"Okay, then you can solve it, I'll go." The interrogating man turned around, waved his hand vigorously, and left.
As soon as the questioning man left, he took his hand off the crotch of his trousers, then took out a small clay pot, sprinkled all the contents on the tent, threw the clay pot in his hand, and turned away.
As the night wore on, even the noisy crows chirped only occasionally, and all that was left to everyone's ears was the "crackling" of the wind and the burning of the fire. The soldiers gathered around the fire in twos and threes, and there was no longer the interest in talking about it before, but they were silently roasting the fire, and someone took out the wine they had secretly brought, took a few sips, and passed it to the people around them, and finally carefully put it into their arms. There were people snoring and snoring everywhere, and the guards on patrol were gradually getting drowsy, but they still tried to keep their eyes open. With the exception of Wang Cheng, he paced back and forth in the big tent, occasionally sighing softly, like an old father who had broken his heart for his children.
There was a sudden movement outside the tent, Wang Cheng frowned, pressed the sword at his waist, and slowly walked to the door of the big tent, "What's the matter?" He snapped.
Someone suddenly opened the curtain of the big tent and walked in, and there was blood dripping from his knife, and there were a few traces of blood on his face, like an evil ghost who had come from hell to ask for his life.
"On the orders of the King of Beiliang, I came to take the life of Lord Wang." Qi Tian raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, and said expressionlessly.
