Chapter Ninety-Seven: Robbing the "Rich" and Helping the "Poor"
Wei Ziyang stabbed at this time, of course, he didn't know Mei Jingting's thoughts.
He took the two hundred or so good men and horses, and after he crossed the black water mountain, the sky was already dark.
This is after a day of fatigue and nervous marching, the body is already unable to hold on, just off the cliff, that is, some soldiers can not support it, to faint.
When Wei Ziyang saw this appearance, he felt helpless, so he had to let the soldiers rest in place. Of course, he knew that the night was a good time to march, especially for a squad of only 200 people like them, and under the cover of the night, the 200 or so people were like 200 ghosts, able to sneak into the pass without noticing. But at this moment, he knew better that after nine deaths, the soldiers were already in an extremely tired stage, both mentally and physically, and if they insisted on moving forward without letting them rest at this time, they would undoubtedly die in vain.
Marching under such conditions, don't say it's stealth, even if it's a normal walk, it's difficult to walk, let alone wield a knife to kill the enemy, if it's really unlucky, if you meet that Qin soldier, I'm afraid that in a moment, your hundreds of people will have to lose their lives here.
Looking up and looking at the Heishui Mountain that had just been turned over, I could only see that the peakless mountain range was straight into the sky, and the cliffs were full of strange rocks, steep and abnormal, and I was in this canyon, and I only felt that the sky on the mountain range was so narrow, so narrow that I could block the entire line of sight with one finger.
It seems that Mei Jingting really didn't lie to himself, after he crossed this Heishui Mountain, he had already reached this line of Heavenly Canyon, that is to say, he had bypassed Natong Pass and went deep into Qindi.
Wei Ziyang frowned, and looked at the soldiers lying on the ground again, and he was also a little worried in his heart.
Now that he has undoubtedly embarked on a dead end, all the dry food has been taken to exchange for this felt skin, and now there is only a little water left in the whole army, and even the armor has been left in the Heishui Mountain, everyone is wearing light robes, the canyon is the wind outlet, and when the winter wind passes, I only feel extremely cold, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, it hasn't snowed yet, and if it snows, it will really kill me Wei Ziyang and others.
After thinking for a while, Wei Ziyang did not hesitate, but beckoned a few of his trusted soldiers to come to his side, formed a circle, and sat down. When everyone sat down, they took out a roll of cloth from their robes, put it on the ground, and spread it out.
When everyone looked at it, they were surprised to find that it was actually a map of Qin Chuan.
"General, this is ......," Li Dali wondered.
"This is the topographic map of Qindi, it is very detailed, it was given to me by Commander Mei before I left, saying that if I can really climb this Black Water Mountain, this map will definitely come in handy." That Wei Ziyang smiled slightly, and said softly.
As he spoke, he pointed and drew on the map with his finger.
"Yes, you see, this mountain range on the map is Blackwater Mountain, and the canyon next to it must be the first line of heaven where we are now; From the first line of heaven to the south, will pass through an official road of the Qin State, the name is Tongguan Road, along the Tongguan Road to go no less than ten miles, there will be two roads, one is Hangu, go this can lead to that Hangu Pass, the other way is to go straight to this Tongguan. Wei Ziyang was not in a hurry or slow, and explained the map in detail to everyone.
Li Dali was silent for a while, and then whispered to this Wei Ziyang: "General, if you follow this route, I'm afraid I will have to wait for a day or two, but we have no food on us, only a little water, this is ....... Even if you can reach Natong Pass, I'm afraid everyone will be exhausted. ”
This concern is not only Li Dali's worry, but also a concern shared by everyone else. Li Dali was right, the whole army had neither food, nor horses, nor even armor, and even if it could successfully arrive, it would be a tired army.
How can such a tired army compete with the elite of the Qin army in that pass? The gap in the number of people is obvious enough, if this is not enough to add spirit, then going to Tongguan will definitely be a dead end.
"And general, if you are unlucky enough to bump into the defenders of the Qin State on the road, what should you do?" Li Dali fully confided the worries in his heart.
When Wei Ziyang heard this, his face sank, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he was silent for a long time.
Then he said lightly: "Since we have already gone deep into this Qin land, it is impossible to retreat, and there is only one plan for today, which is to go to Tongguan as soon as possible." ”
"But the general ......" Li Dali was still worried about what to say, but Wei Ziyang waved his hand to stop his words.
Wei Ziyang stood up, looked at the line of sky, and said lightly: "Don't be afraid, the book says that people will be cornered, but the book also says that there is no way to go through the sky." ”
When Li Dali and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Wei Ziyang didn't hesitate, and said softly again: "Moreover, you just said something wrong. ”
"Which one?" Li Dali subconsciously blurted out.
"You said that we were unlucky, and if we met that Qin soldier, we would die without a place to be buried, but we didn't know that meeting that Qin soldier was also an opportunity for us." Wei Ziyang said lightly.
Li Dali suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but shout, and said, "Could it be that the general wants to rob them of their armor and food?" ”
Wei Ziyang turned around, staring at Li Dali lightly with a pair of cold eyes, staring at Li Dali until his hair straightened, and only after half a sound did he say: "In my hometown, there is a rule, people like to rob the rich of their money to help those poor. ”
Li Dali listened to Wei Ziyang's words, and he couldn't guess his thoughts for a while.
Wei Ziyang didn't care whether Li Dali could figure it out or not, and continued: "People call this method robbery of the rich and helping the poor. ”
"Coincidentally, what I like the most is to rob the rich and give to the poor." A faint smile, but it makes people chill.
----------------
At a sentry post next to Tongguan Road, several military tents are stationed here, and there are large wooden blocks in the middle, and there are groups of more than 20 sentries standing listlessly here, rubbing their eyes with their hands from time to time, or yawning loudly.
At this time, the twilight has deepened, to the third or fourth watch, now it is a war, the rule in the army is to change a group of people to stand guard every half an hour after nightfall, this regulation is of course easy to use on the front line, but in this big rear, it is ignored by the soldiers of the Qin army, jokes, this Tongguan is like an iron wall, then the Wei people are absolutely impossible to attack in a short period of time, and the Wei people can't enter, so what's the use of them cheering up and being vigilant?
There were less than a hundred soldiers in this pass, all of them were idle, except for the twenty or so who stood guard outside, and the rest of the people were sleeping in this military tent.
The winter wind was blowing, so that the sentry standing guard couldn't help but shiver.
"What the hell is the weather, why is the wind so strong?" One of the sentries rubbed his hands together and said with a sigh of relief.
"You're glad it didn't snow, but if it did, we would have to bear it." The other sentry replied listlessly.
"No, I've got to go to sleep." The sentry yawned as he walked slowly into the tent.
At this moment, a feathered arrow slashed like lightning, and only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and the sentry who had just turned back and was about to go back to sleep was shot through the throat in an instant, and his body immediately fell forward, only twitching a few times on the ground, and then stopped moving.
The arrow frightened the other sentry, and he stood there as if he couldn't believe what was happening.
How could a person who was so good just now say that he was gone?
Suddenly, he immediately looked up, and saw dozens of figures shaking on the official road in the distance, and after a while, the clear moonlight sprinkled on the body of this group, and the sentry finally saw the appearance of this group of people clearly.
The men were dressed in cloth robes, and their steps were fast, side by side, like rows of black waves, rushing straight towards them.
was shocked at the moment, and he was about to hurry up to speak, but he heard a "whoosh" again, and several feather arrows were shooting straight at him.
An arrow through the heart, an arrow through the throat.
The sentry wanted to say something, but found that he could no longer make a sound, and his eyes widened to look at the black shadow man in the distance again, and finally fell to the ground with unwillingness.
Before the sentinels could react, two people had died in the blink of an eye, and just as they were feeling uneasy, they heard the approaching black shadow shouting, "Kill! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that there were hundreds of sharp swords in the middle of this group of black shadows, and the dense arrows like locusts covered the entire heaven and earth in a blink of an eye, the wind was tight, the arrows were like lightning, and the feathered arrows were like the sickles of death, and they would harvest the lives of the sentries in an instant.
With the terrible shouts of the sentries before they died, they finally woke up the generals in the big tent, and they didn't care about putting on their clothes, so they hurried out of the tent to see what was happening, and as soon as they ran out, they saw that the ground was full of the corpses of their brothers.
He couldn't help but panic, and before he could shout, he only heard a few more "whoosh" sounds, and when he looked up, the arrows from the sky filled his entire eyes.
This was the last scene they ever saw.
When they were pierced by sharp arrows through their throats and fell to the ground, they couldn't understand how a group of enemies could suddenly appear in this Tongguan? Where did these enemies come from?
Unfortunately, they will never know the answer.
"Draw the sword, leave no one!" That Wei Ziyang said coldly to his soldiers.
Not long after, the 200 Wei troops rushed into the camp of this outpost like 200 tigers, and ruthlessly slashed the Qin soldiers who were still in the tent and didn't know what was happening.
Inside and outside the big tent, there were blood stains all over the place, and corpses were everywhere.
In a few moments, Wei Ziyang and the others completely annihilated this group of sentinels, but they did not suffer any casualties at all.
Wei Ziyang walked out of the camp tent, looked at the outline of Tongguan faintly visible in the distance, and said coldly to the generals next to him: "Let the brothers change into their armor, take their dry food, and continue to march towards Tongguan." ”
