Chapter 6: Sneak Attack

It has been the fifth day since the last time the official army entered the valley to deliver grain, calculate the time, if nothing else, the Jin army should come to the valley, Duan Chen looked at the rocks around the valley, and exhaled deeply, his heart said This time, he must hit with one blow in order to escape, otherwise, there will be no place to die.

Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers, why haven't you come yet?

Duan Chen had already stood on the boulder on that slope for the sixth time and looked into the distance, but there was no trace of anyone, and his heart was hanging all the time, in case the Jin people didn't come today, wouldn't he have done useless work with this group of people?

"Brother Duan, I just went down and walked around, the brothers are in good spirits, and they are all looking forward to the official army coming, so that they can kill them and turn their horses on their backs!"

When Duan Chen was worried, Zhao Wu carefully climbed up from the other side of the boulder, and Duan Chen stepped forward and pulled him: "Okay, as long as the brothers dare to muster up courage, we can't lose!" After glancing at the dozens of subordinates who were hiding according to his disguise requirements not far away, he asked with some concern: "How are those old and weak people in the valley?"

"Them?"

Zhao Wu pouted nonchalantly: "It's all honest, there's nothing abnormal, just like our people, we're all waiting for the officials and soldiers to come and send food." ”

Duan Chen told Zhao Wu with some unease: "You must look at these people well, although we have taken out some food to appease them these days, it doesn't mean that they have no intention of resisting at all, this time we have to do it, we must not let them know, if the incident is blown up, the momentum of thousands of people is not trivial, and the officers and soldiers stationed outside the valley can easily rush in when they hear the shouts, then our hard work in the past few days will be all wasted, and we will not be killed by them." ”

Zhao Wuyi clenched his fists, and a murderous flash flashed in his eyes: "Brother Duan, don't worry, if any rabbit cub dares to harm our good deeds, I will chop him into pulp!"

Having said that, but there is no better way, Duan Chen can only hide these old and weak as much as possible, and then his eyes lit up, and he explained to Zhao Wu that he could let the old and weak go to the big open space in the back mountain to bask in the sun, so that they could hide some more, and after saying some precautions, he saw that a broken sleeve suddenly appeared in the small bush in front of him, and he flicked it one by one, according to Duan Chen's regulations, only the sleeve was thrown out, which means that there are officers and soldiers in front.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

The news of the arrival of the officers and soldiers was passed down one by one by Zhao Wu in a low voice, and some branches suddenly shook in the hillsides on both sides, and Duan Chen was also uncontrollable excited, picking up the weeds in front of him and looking into the distance, but he took a breath of cold air at a glance: What's the matter, isn't there only ten officers and soldiers and twenty people? Why did more than a dozen officers and soldiers come? And three or four on horseback!

Zhao Wu also saw this situation, and said in a lost voice: "Brother Duan, no, in the past six months or so, there have always been only ten officers and soldiers, and sometimes only seven or eight officers and soldiers have entered the valley, how can there be more than a dozen officers and soldiers today?" And a few horseback riders? Where did it come from?!"

Duan Chen's face was cloudy, staring at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer in the distance, and he didn't reply: "I don't know, maybe it's the newly transferred officers and soldiers, in short, we are in big trouble." ”

"What then?"

Zhao Wu looked back at the men who were in ambush on the hillside with a solemn face, and said very worriedly: "There are more than 20 officers and soldiers in this wave, more than 20 people, and the number of us is about the same, we don't have any advantage at all, what are you doing?" Brother Duan, this is a hard bone, one is not good, the brothers will all be lost here! Why don't we forget it today, recharge our energy first, and wait for the next opportunity?"

At this time, Yin Ran climbed up from behind, and just when he heard Zhao Wu's words, he said, "Hard bones?"

Yin Ran turned his head to look at Duan Chen, and said in a deep voice: "Hard bones have to be gnawed, teeth have to be gnawed, and if you can't gnaw, you have to gnaw, the arrow has to be sent, if we withdraw now, the officers and soldiers will definitely find us, and then the officers and soldiers can take the opportunity to cover up and kill us, even if we run back to the valley, these fifty or sixty people, the movement is too big, they will definitely be discovered, and when the time comes, the officers and soldiers will enter the valley and screen, the group of old and weak will definitely confess to us, and we will definitely die!" What a next chance!"

This ghost weather, it was so cold yesterday, Lord Geng is really, aren't they just some infected pariahs, as for asking us to send food? Wouldn't it be nice to fend for yourself in the valley?"

Walking in the front of the valley is the Jin soldiers, because of the cold weather, a large soldier in the middle of the army rubbed his hands with the corner of his clothes while walking, and complained to his companions before he was finished. When his companions heard his complaints, they laughed and said nothing, and they hurried forward, but they didn't say anything to him, but the veteran, who looked to be fifty years old, glared at the big man:

"Da Hei, you don't say a few words, let Lord Geng hear it, be careful of being whipped."

The big man who was called Da Hei listened to the old soldier's words, and smiled: "Brother Song, don't worry, Lord Geng is not a clairvoyant, how can you hear me say anything." Besides, his old man is now closing his eyes and recuperating, how can he take care of our little ones. With that, he pointed to a man on a horse not far ahead.

Old Song Tou glanced at the big black gesture, and saw that Master Geng was sitting leisurely on the horse, his body swaying from side to side with the bumps on the horse's back, but his head kept pointing down, and he was in a daze. I couldn't help but sigh, and said in my heart, Lord Geng, what should I do if something happens? .

The old Song Tou is a veteran, Cao Wei was conscripted into the army, destroyed Shu and Wu, talked about military merits and beheading, he could have been promoted to the post of chief, and it is not impossible to lead a team alone, but it is a pity that he is a Huns, not a son of a gate lord, nor a Han. According to the military system of the Great Jin Dynasty, all the Huns who were drawn into the army were not allowed to be promoted to officers by virtue of their military merits, and could only be converted into gold, silver and grain rewards, or rewarded with slaves. Therefore, Lao Song Tou couldn't be promoted no matter how much he had military merits, and he stayed in the army for more than 30 years, and he was just an ordinary soldier, and he was responsible for helping Lord Du Lieutenant train other recruits on weekdays. In two years, he will be able to go home to retire.

Out of an old soldier's intuition in the face of danger, as soon as Lao Song Tou entered the valley, he felt the bursts of killing intent emanating from the slopes on both sides, and with his more than 30 years of experience as a soldier, Lao Song Tou dared to conclude that someone was lying in ambush on both sides to watch them. But the order to enter the grain and deliver grain was given by Lord Geng, the commander of the county, and Lord Geng was the younger brother of the county guard of the upper valley, how could he change it as an ordinary pawn, let alone say anything to Lord Commander. Therefore, I can only secretly remind myself to be careful, not to capsize in the gutter, and I have been a soldier for more than 30 years, but I have sent my life in this unknown valley. If things don't go well, he will have to use his magic weapon to save his life - play dead, and run back when the ambush is gone.

This magic weapon he has used since the reign of Cao Wei and Cao Chaojing to the present, and has tried and tested it repeatedly, occasionally encountering three enemy mending knives, but because he had taken precautions in advance, he was buried under the corpses of others and escaped.

A gust of wind blew, and Lao Song tightened his collar and shrunk his neck......
