XXXVII ambush on

Sun Biao never imagined that he would meet his former fellow campers in this situation, and he didn't expect that this wolf-like army would be led by Liu Ce, who had often been bullied by himself before, and he was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Because he used to rely on Deng Jiao's support in the army to do misdeeds, his reputation was very bad, so several veterans were very unkind to him, and Feng Chou was even more eager to put him down with an axe.

Liu Ce was also a little surprised to see Sun Biao, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at him with a little meaning, shook his head, and divided him and the quarry craftsmen and people for Qin Mo to arrange......

"Alas......" Sun Biao followed behind the people carrying stones and couldn't help but hang his head and sigh, this is really a creation and trickery, Liu Ce has such a strong team in a few months, Sun Cheng Yang Fan and a few of them used to be the targets of random bullying, but now they can lead the troops to fight, and then look at their current embarrassment, Sun Biao thought about it and felt a trace of grievance, unwilling......

Just when Sun Biao was still thinking nonsense, there was a terrible cry and wail under the cliff, Sun Biao and some people looked down, only to see more than 200 thieves in the north with their hands tied or kneeling or standing, and more than 100 strong people behind them held spears and shouted, stabbing them to death.

This scene frightened the legs of the working crowd weak, and a thought flashed in their hearts: These fallen people will not even let go of the captives, and it will not be my turn next time......

The more these people thought about it, the more frightened they became, and some of them simply sat on the ground and cried, which caused the crowd to panic, and Sun Biao also did not roll up and down with his Adam's apple, a stone hanging in his heart, and a cold sweat behind his back.

"What are you doing here, this good man?" Sun Biao tried to calm down and asked a soldier who was guarding them.

"What's the matter with you? Hurry up and move the rocks up! "That soldier is a baggage soldier under Xu Hui, because of the Confession Year, I know a little bit about the bad deeds of this guy in front of me, and I don't have a good impression of Sun Biao.

Sun Biao saw that the soldier didn't have a good impression of him, and he was not annoyed, he still smiled and asked with a flattering face, and some people carrying stones and logs passed by and quietly stopped to listen, after all, these are related to their own fate.

The soldier saw that his progress had slowed down, so he had to tell them, "I said, what are you doing with your faces crying and mourning?" It's not just a few of you who are killed, you just need to finish carrying the stones and wood, and when you are done, you will find a place to rest, and you will have your own food. ”

Hearing that the soldier was not like a lie, the hearts of the people finally calmed down, and seeing that these soldiers were not like thieves, they whipped and beat him at every turn, and from time to time they would pull the craftsmen and people to help him carry stones, so he was completely relieved.

"My general said that the thieves plagued the people, and it is not a pity to die, and there is only one way to die in the hands of my Jingwei battalion!" The soldier held his chest open when he said this, although he was only an auxiliary, but after all, he was also a member of the Jingwei Battalion, and he might be able to join the soldiers one day if he made meritorious service!

When the surrounding laborers heard this, they were shocked, and then they thought of what the thieves had done in the city, and felt that it was a great pleasure to do so, and some people immediately shouted, "Good kill!" This bunch of dogs! In an instant, the enthusiasm for work increased a lot, and the progress of the work was accelerated, and the preparations were already completed at the time of Shen Shi, leaving some craftsmen such as Feng Ying and Gao Laohan to deal with the remaining technical links......

In the government of Meihe Town, the two thieves who were previously released by Liu Ce were kneeling in front of Jin Heng at the moment, crying to him with a handful of snot and tears.

Jin Heng squinted and paced back and forth, and Wang Xu on the side pressed the scabbard in his hand and sneered.

"Joke, 100,000 stones! So what kind of bullshit Jingwei camp is crazy? Dare to ask us for food! Wang Xu said disdainfully, "The general gave me a thousand men and horses, and I will go and kill the Jingwei battalion, and dare to show off my strength in front of my Jin family's army, I think I have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall!" ”

"You say they're for the quarry?" Jin Heng was not deceived by Wang Xu's words, although he was very belligerent, but he was not a fool, and his years of military career had developed his good habit of prudence.

"Yes, general, their leader said that there is no shortage of food, just to disgust us, now more than two hundred brothers are detained by him, and those stonemasons are all used by him as coolies, as if to build some kind of camp!" The thief told Jin Heng about Liu Ce's original words, and added fuel and vinegar by the way.

"Three hundred people, defeated by more than 100 people, or will they collapse at the touch of a button?" This is exactly what Jin Heng is worried about, a small quarry will be lost, it's not a big deal, the key is that the "Jin Family Army" can't hang up on face, before going on the expedition, you must understand whether the strength of the opposite side is worth fighting this battle, if the opponent is too strong, then it doesn't hurt that you would rather be a turtle at the moment.

Seeing that Jin Heng was worried, the thief hurriedly said: "General, they have more than 1,000 people, and the brothers are more than 300 enemies, and those 100 people are their elite according to my estimate." ”

Jin Heng nodded, that's right, more than a thousand people fight against three hundred, that's for sure, as for the more than 100 people, they should be the main force of the so-called Jingwei Battalion, more than 1,000 people have this strength, why have I never heard of it in this area?

"Wang Xu, order the men and horses, and recapture the quarry with me!" Having made up his mind, Jin Heng immediately ordered.

Wang Xu hugged his fists and said: "General, do you need a knife to kill chickens?" What's more, the city must be guarded without a general! Give me 2,000 men and horses, and I will level the Jingwei battalion, so that he can see the strength of my Jin family's army! ”

Jin Heng thought about it, and it made sense, so he held back his mood to go to war and agreed to Wang Xu's request.

"I'll give you another 2,000 men and horses, there are 700 military horses in the city, I want to send them to the Gaoyang headquarters in these two days, now I'll lend you 200 horses to the riders in the sharp formation, don't make any mistakes, and transfer another 200 archers to you, since the opposite formation is rigorous, then simply shoot their formation with arrows, I want to see if his Jingwei battalion can still maintain calm in the face of chaotic arrows!" Let's go! ”

Generally speaking, Jin Heng's strategy is very sophisticated, and from the words of the thief, he understands that the Jingwei battalion lacks long-range output capabilities, although his own archers are also half-knuckled, but the slow shooting action phalanx within twenty steps is absolutely enough, as for those horseback soldiers, they are all elites, ensuring that there should be no accidents on this trip.

"Yes! The last general will set off! Wang Xu excitedly took the wooden card in Jin Heng's hand and took the thief down to order the soldiers and horses.

...... in the quarry

"Yes, I'll go and make sure to complete the request!" Sun Cheng chewed the oil cake in his mouth and responded to Liu Ce's words vaguely, and then turned away, there was no chance to play in today's battle, and Yang Youhuai was in the limelight, and those soldiers under him already had a lot of complaints, how could they miss this opportunity now?

Watching Sun Chengbu leave the gorge, Liu Ce's eyes were firm, and he turned to look into the stone field, only to see more than 1,000 laborers in the middle of the stone yard forming a large circle, holding a bowl of white rice in their hands and devouring it......

"Damn, it's so comfortable! It's been a long time since I've eaten so full. After Sun Biao made three bowls of rice in a row, he threw away the chopsticks and picked between his teeth with a thinly sharpened wooden skewer, which was the fullest meal he had eaten in the past two months. He glanced at Xu Hui, who was busy with the auxiliary soldiers, and couldn't help but start to feel unbalanced. "I've only been a soldier for a few months, and I can bring hundreds of people, what can this little white face do in addition to being good-looking?" The more Sun Biao thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt, and then looked at those soldiers, although his martial arts were not at the same level as his own, but his years of experience in the army made him know that the hidden strength in the group of people in front of him was like a huge wave, which could swallow everything.

"How did Liu Ce's kid train his soldiers? It would be great if Lao Tzu could lead such a soldier to march and fight! Sun Biao had mixed feelings in his heart, and looked at Yang Kaishan not far away, and couldn't help but blush.

"When they're done eating, take them to a safe place, and I'm afraid they'll get in the way when we get in the way." Feng Chounian nibbled the last bite of the cake, threw a sentence to Xu Hui, and led the troops to the mountain......

"General, is there too much cooking this time?" Qin Mo couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the rice soup potatoes that kept tumbling in the cauldron, and there were also a lot of diced bacon.

Liu Ce smiled and said: "Soldier, treacherous, do you remember the medicine that Mr. Ye used a few days ago because of the bloating of mules and horses in the village?" ”

Qin Mo said: "Yellow bile grass, Brother Ye Xian still has a lot of research on various medical techniques and pharmacology...... Speaking of this, his eyes immediately widened, "You mean ......"

"Yellow gall grass is just a laxative treatment for flatulence, but once I accidentally found that if it is mixed in boiling water, it will become a laxative, a few days ago, a mule and horse I personally poured medicine, within an hour to pull blood alive and die, mules and horses are still like this, this person ......" Liu Ce smiled fiercely, and Qin Mo's scalp was numb with a straight smile.

"It's horrible!" This is the truest thought in Qin Mo's heart, and the young man in front of him is completely out of common sense.

Seeing Qin Mo's expression, Liu Ce straightened his thoughts and said, "Sir, don't be surprised, as long as you can win and let the soldiers suffer fewer casualties, I, Liu Ce, don't mind being a villain!" ”

"In this way, one ring after another, this victory rate is basically a foregone conclusion, just wait for the golden balance to come!" Qin Mo felt that it was basically foolproof now, not to mention the thieves in Liu Ce's arrangements, even the officials and soldiers would be able to do it nine times out of ten.

"Scatter the thief's weapons all over the ground, and throw some spears and shields to make as much of a mess as possible!" Liu Ce instructed again, since it was a play, he had to do enough, try not to let people see the flaws, and then kicked over a boiling cauldron, and the rice soup splashed all over the ground......

Seeing that everything was arranged, Liu Ce climbed up the ambush point on the cliff with everyone and waited for the thieves to kill......

A few miles away, more than 4,000 horses were hurrying towards the quarry, and at the forefront of the horses was Wang Xu, who was dressed in chain mail, and on a black horse sat a fierce-looking thief, named Gao Fang, also wearing chain mail. If Han Feng was here, he would definitely recognize this person as the murderer of Wang Tong......

The quarry's gorge gradually appeared in the eyes of the thieves, Wang Xu raised his eyes to look at the sky, it was already a little dark, about unitary time, at most half an hour the sky will be completely dark......

"Gao Fang, you first take a few horses into the gorge crossing to find out what is going on, and go back quickly." Wang Xu came to the mouth of the gorge dozens of steps away and commanded the black horse thief called Gaofang.

The high boat answered and led five or six riders into the gorge, with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes......

When Gao Fang returned, his face was extremely ugly, and several riders around him looked frightened, and their bodies trembled slightly.

"Boss, go and see for yourself......" Seeing that Wang Xu was about to ask, Gao Fang answered his question first.

"What the hell is going on?" Wang Xu couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the expressions of several people were wrong.

"You'd better go and see......" Gao Fang was reluctant to say any more nonsense, his eyes full of anger and a hint of imperceptible fear.

"Archers come with me! Lead the way in front of Gorfang! With doubts and uneasiness on his face, Wang Xu ordered more than 100 cavalry and 200 archers to slowly move towards the gorge.

When Wang Xu came to the middle of the gorge, the sight of him couldn't help but make him gasp. I saw a two-person high wall in front of me, and the key was that it was a human wall, all of which were stripped of naked corpses.

"Boss, it's too evil, let's withdraw......" A crow flew through the sky, and there was a terrible cry, and Gao Fang couldn't help but shudder.

Wang Xuqiang calmed down, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, Lao Tzu killed I don't know how many people, will he be frightened by the vision? It's just that I didn't expect this Jingwei camp to be so ruthless, and more than 300 people didn't leave a single mouth, so they took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic, let people move the corpses away!" ”

Hundreds of thieves came in one after another outside the gorge, enduring nausea and fear, they moved away the corpses of their companions in front of them one by one and threw them aside, and the archers and Wang Xu behind nervously observed the movement behind the corpse wall to prevent accidents.

Finally, after the corpse wall collapsed, Wang Xu looked at the gorge behind him, and there was no one quietly, so he put his mind at ease and let the team slowly move through the gorge.

"It's so fragrant......" As soon as he entered the quarry, the thieves smelled a smell of rice and meat, only to see a large cauldron on many wooden shelves, still steaming, the firewood below was almost burned out, only a slight fire was weak and moving, the whole quarry was empty, there were scattered weapons everywhere, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.

"Cut, so it's mysterious!" Only then did everyone put their minds at ease, and Gao Fang sneered even more disdainfully, as if to cover up his previous uneasy mood, and then said to Wang Xu: "It must be that the Jingwei battalion heard that my thousands of troops were coming, and they ran away without eating." ”

Saying that, Gao Fang remembered the corpse wall before, and added: "I don't forget to play this kind of little trick before leaving, I really think that my Jin family army will be afraid?" ”

Wang Xu nodded, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground: "Send someone to probe around, be careful to plot ......"

With that, he sent a dozen thieves and began to walk up the hillside......

"Oops!" Liu Ce, who was hiding on the hillside, suddenly tensed his nerves, never expected that the thieves would be so cautious that they would send spies to investigate the surrounding situation, if they were discovered, then the previous plan would be all in vain.

The dozen thieves were in groups of three or four, casually walking towards the stone slope, and a group of people was about to walk towards Liu Ce's location, when suddenly a black shadow flashed past them, which frightened them and immediately screamed, and the rest of the group of people pulled out their swords and ran towards the group of people when they heard this.

"What's going on?" A rogue asked aloud.

"Over there......" The screaming thief pointed his finger at Liu Ce's direction, and everyone slowly walked in the direction he pointed.

"Ga ......" Just as Liu Ce and the others were clenching their blades and about to make a move, a crow flew out from behind a stone, flapping its wings and screaming.

"Damn, what are you kid yelling for! When did you get so small? Seeing that it was a crow, everyone immediately relieved themselves, laughed and cursed at the screaming thief, and then dispersed.

"Damn it, phew! Okay, there's no situation here, let's go back! The thief spat out the gray stone in his mouth, turned around and walked downhill, not wanting to stay longer for a moment, so frightened that Liu Ce and their palms not far away were sweating.

I have to say that a thief can only be a thief at any time, so he ran a small half of the stone slope and ended up hastily going back, without careful investigation at all, Wang Xu saw that the surrounding area of the hillside was safe and sound, and he was even more relieved.

"Boss, the brothers haven't had dinner yet, don't you think?" A sharp soldier beside him looked at the steaming rice meat in the pot and swallowed.

Wang Xu walked to a rice pot, saw that the white rice in the pot was cooked, called a thief to let him eat, the thief heard the words and immediately ate a few bites, and picked up a piece of meat to eat with a mouth full of oil......

"They're all hungry reincarnated!" Seeing that the thousands of people in front of him were in a mess and constantly grabbing food, Wang Xu couldn't help shaking his head, sneered, and then kicked away the thief who tried the meal before, and didn't care about grabbing a piece of boiled bacon and gnawing it......

"Hmph, I don't even know it's dying." On the other side of the stone slope, Qin Mo couldn't help sneering when he saw the quarry below in a mess, "Tell Yang Kaishan to seal the sorrowful year, get ready, the show is about to start!" ”

"Oops...... I'll go and make it easier......" A thief was eating, and suddenly there was a burning churn in his belly, and after saying hello, he threw away his rice bowl and ran to the dark, causing a burst of laughter from the thieves around him, saying that he had too little oil and water to run away.

"I'm also going to a thatched house," dozens ......of people got up one after another and ran to the dark, and gradually more and more people got up, and later some sharp soldiers present, including Wang Xu, Gao Fang, etc., also held their stomachs and began to look around for land to solve.

"Damn, hell, is there too little oil and water on weekdays?" Wang Xu squatted behind a boulder, and there was a majestic sound under him, exuding a foul smell, and thousands of people in the whole venue kept running back and forth, some of them didn't come back and sat down and ran out, and some of the thieves were weak and dehydrated......

"Action!" Liu Ce roared when he saw that the strategy was successful, and the side of the stone slope immediately shouted neatly, and hundreds of soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion with the "Liu" character banner in their hands attacked the quarry with spears......
