As night fell, five figures crept out of the camp, each carrying a bow and arrow.

"Bailijian, you can't even pull the bow, why are you still carrying a bow on your back?" Zhelun, who was walking in the middle of the line, couldn't help but ridicule Bai Lijian, who was walking in front of him.

Bai Lijian ignored Zhelun's sarcasm, he brought a bow and arrows purely on a temporary basis. There are five people in the group, except for Bailijian, the rest are good archers. Uncle Tumu is a famous archer in the tribe, and Zhelun, Karasuma Jin, and Qifu Gu are all students of Uncle Tumu.

Tonight's operation was proposed by Bai Lijian and led by Uncle Tumu, with the aim of laying traps along the route of the refugees until the enemy was discovered. The grass grows in autumn, and if a few people who are walking forward will not be found at all if they lie in the grass, so Uncle Zhuo Gang will agree to Bailijian's suggestion.

"Zhelun, silence, we're on a mission, not a joke!" Uncle Tumu turned around and criticized seriously.

Zhelun was scolded by Uncle Tumu, and was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head and covered his mouth, not daring to make any more noise.

After a day and a night of trekking, the group of five people had left the camp, and following the traces left by the refugees' flight, the group finally found the tribe destroyed by the horse bandits.

At this time, the tribe was very lively, dozens of strong men were sitting around a bonfire, on which was a golden roasted sheep, the overflowing aroma permeated the surroundings, Bai Lijian and a few other small ones couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Uncle Tu Mu's expression was cold at this time, his body was lying tightly in the grass, staring at the camp not far away, motionless. Bai Lijian and Zhelun were all experiencing such a thing for the first time, and they also didn't dare to come out, just like Uncle Tumu, their bodies were close to the ground and they didn't dare to move.

After observing for a while, Tu Mu turned around and said, "You guys are waiting here, I'll take a look around, remember, don't move!" ”

As soon as everyone heard that Tu Mu was going to separate from them, they all became nervous, and the previous excitement was long gone.

Tu Mu seemed to want to train them, directly ignoring the nervous looks on everyone's faces, standing up cautiously with a bow and arrow, and quickly burrowed into the grass next to him, and disappeared after a few starts.

"What do we do now?" After Tu Mu disappeared, Zhe Lun, who had always been the most courageous, began to feel a little apprehensive.

Karasuma Jin and Qifugu's brains have always been not very good, and when they encounter problems, they always look at Bailijian, and when they hear Zhelun's inquiry, they all set their eyes on Bailijian.

"We have to believe Uncle Tumu, and we will stay where we are until Uncle Tumu comes back." Bai Lijian said.

"Those horse bandits have sent sentry horses out to patrol, and if we stay here, we will be discovered sooner or later."

"It's okay, let's dig a few hiding holes behind us, and if a sentry comes near, we will immediately hide in it. Unless we're unlucky, they'll have a hard time spotting us. ”

This is a strategy that Bailijian had already thought of before he came out. In the vast grassland, find a random place to dig a pit, and then cover it with a layer of turf, even if you have good eyesight, you can't find it at all if you don't look closely. In fact, there is a simpler way, as long as you disguise yourself with a piece of grass clothing, with the intelligence of the grassland people, it is impossible to find out. Baili Jian is not a hot-brained person, he will definitely not come out to find death if he has nothing to do, there is nothing more important than his own life.

Bailijian is not good at physical work, so the work of digging the pit is naturally handed over to Zhelun, Karasuma Jin and Qifugu to complete, and Bailijian is responsible for guarding.

"Ah Jian, do you think we can win this time?" Karasuma asked in a whisper while digging in the dirt.

"What, scared?" Bai Lijian's eyes were fixed on the camp road opposite.

"I'm not afraid it's false, but I believe you. In the past, every time you went out hunting, you always hid in a safe place by yourself, and you would never come out until you were sure that there was no danger at all. So as long as I follow you every time, it must be safe. ”

"Are you praising me or scolding me?" Bai Lijian rolled his eyes and didn't have a good airway.

Karasuma smiled and continued to concentrate on digging.

Soon, the five-and-a-half-man-deep grass hole was dug, and Qifugu carefully transported the excavated soil to a distant place and threw it away, and then cleaned up the surrounding traces so that no one would find out.

Ready to hide, the four of them rested on the ground with peace of mind, while waiting for Uncle Tumu to come back.

As the sky gradually darkened, the noise in the camp also fell silent. The well-fed bandits all went into their tents to rest, and the sentry riders outside returned, leaving only a few bandits to patrol carelessly outside.

When the moonlight was in the sky, Uncle Tumu with a dewy body finally returned.

"Uncle Tumu, how is it, what have you found?" Zhelun asked hurriedly.

Uncle Tu Mu took a few breaths in a row, and then said: "Xiao Jian's guess is right, the number of these horse bandits is about seventy, and there are about thirty slaves among them, and the sheep and horses are guarded by more than a dozen slaves, and there are only forty horse bandits who can really fight." ”

"So what do we do next?" Zhelun turned his head to Bai Lijian and asked.

"Even if it's only forty people, it's not something we can match at the moment. It's been a long time since we've been out and it's time to go back. If we are found by the bandits, we will not be able to escape. "Uncle Tumu is alone with four small ones, and he feels a lot of pressure in himself, but now that he has figured out the strength of the enemy, he has achieved the expected goal.

"It's a shame to just leave, let's wait and see." Bailijian didn't want to go back like this, and passively waited for the enemy to come to the door.

"What do you want to do?" Uncle Tumu's face turned cold, and he asked in a low voice. Tu Mu has absolute authority in the face of the rest of the team, but he has nothing to do with Bai Lijian.

"Wait, when those people are asleep, I'll sneak over and add something to their food."

"Nonsense!" Tu Mu said angrily: "In case they find out, you won't even have a chance to resist!" ”

"But if we don't take advantage of the moment to reduce their combat effectiveness, it will be very difficult for us to resist at that time."

"Don't worry, I know that you kid has a smart brain, but you Uncle Tumu and I are not in vain." Uncle Tumu suddenly grinned and said, "I went there for so long just now, but not only did I find out the number of these horse bandits, but I also secretly added something to the water they fetched. ”

Bai Lijian's eyes lit up, but he quickly sensed that something was wrong, and wondered: "Really? When was it added? Why are they still fine? ”

"At first, I was afraid that they would find out, so I didn't do anything, and only after they had eaten and drunk enough did I add some water to their water, which should have gone into their water bladders."

"Good!"

Bai Lijian was the first to get excited. Tumujia's thing was configured by Bailijian himself, and it was an aconitum poison specially used to paralyze the nerves. This dose is not fatal, but it can incapacitate people. If these bandits had taken a drink before attacking and suddenly lost their ability to move during the attack, it would have been great news for the old and weak women and children of the tribe.

"Now I'm at ease!" Tu Mu angrily rushed to Baili Jiandao.

"Well, let's go back quickly, don't set traps on the way, now I hope they can get to our camp soon, haha!"
