CHAPTER 163 ROBBERY BEHIND ENEMY LINES
Cao Cao's night attack was still unsuccessful, while Liu Bei still insisted on defending the danger, and the two sides entered a stalemate again. With the arrival of another cold wave www.biquge.info heavy snow fell in the mountains, and at this point, the two sides even sent each other generals to challenge each other.
The 1,000 men and horses led by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, after twenty days of difficult travel, it is estimated that in two more days, they will be able to reach Wudu County.
In the absence of food and medicine and the heavy snow covering the mountains, many of the 1,000 sergeants were already sick and unable to walk, and even dozens of them had fallen on the way.
"No, let's give up the idea of attacking the next one." Zhang Wei was even more sick, his legs trembled when he walked, and he needed someone to help him move forward, and it was really difficult to persevere in this mountainous terrain.
Wei Yan nagged dissatisfiedly: "Your body is not good, you will get sick at every turn, and you will have to swing when you freeze." ”
Zhang Wei gasped and said: "Even if he is not sick, this person has to eat enough, especially in this kind of snowy weather, if you don't starve to death, you have to freeze to death." Look at everyone, how many people still have the ability to attack the city? ”
Wei Yan looked back at the sergeants, everyone was supporting each other, their faces were tired, and they couldn't help frowning, yes, like this, where can they still fight a tough battle, but they were willing to give up, and came over to help Zhang Wei in person: "Hold on, hold on for two more days." ”
Zhang Wei shook his head and said: "Don't move forward easily, go forward again, encounter the enemy's army, such a team, except to be captured alive, there is no other choice." In my opinion, we still have to find a way to get food first, so that everyone can eat enough. ”
Wei Yan couldn't help but touch his pockets again, there were many pockets in this dress, and after rummaging through all the pockets, he had no choice but to spread his hands: "I have no money, I can't send someone to buy it in a nearby village anymore, unless it's a robbery." ”
Zhou Wei also went through all the pockets on his clothes: "It's really gone, and the money that the military advisor gave at the beginning has been spent." ”
Wei Yan blamed: "It's really stupid, you didn't know how to ask for it at the beginning?" ”
Thoughtful shouted: "With so much money on your back, you can't run." ”
Huang Zhong could only sigh: "It's too long, Wen Chang, it seems that I was really impulsive at the beginning." Alas, I don't know where Fazheng and them are now. ”
Zhang Wei said: "Hiding in this mountain every day, it is impossible to know the situation outside." General Huang, General Wei, I think, let's go over the mountain and go to the avenue to see if we can rob some grain? General Wei, just like the military division did at the beginning? ”
Wei Yan was unwilling: "At the beginning, the military division robbed the grain, mainly to mobilize the Yang Ang troops behind, but for the attack on Nanzheng, it was a surprise to the snake. ”
Zhang Wei said: "We are mainly forcing Cao Cao to withdraw his troops as soon as possible, so don't always think about attacking Xiafen, there must be Cao's army heavily defending." Since General Zhang and General Ma entered the Wudu from the Frustrated Dao at the beginning, of course Cao Cao will leave heavy troops to defend in this area. ”
Huang Zhong stood up and said: "Yes, what Boqi said makes sense, now there is no point in wanting to raid and distinguish, where can such dizzy sergeants take it, even if they take it down, they can't hold it for a few days." Let's go over the mountains and ambush on the main road, and see if we can meet the enemy's grain and grass team, or catch a few lone enemy soldiers, and ask about the situation outside. ”
The old general spoke, and Wei Yan no longer refuted, the reality is not as beautiful as he imagined.
Huang Zhong led the team up the mountain, camped behind the ridgeline and rested for the night, early the next morning, five hundred sergeants dressed in camouflage went down to the side of the road, and divided into three groups along the way to ambush it.
The grain transport team is not so easy to meet, after waiting for a long time, the patrol team of the Cao army has gone back and forth several batches, hating the soldiers of the Shu army one by one gritted their teeth, if it were not for the fear of startling the grass and snakes, they would kill them all, and search for food on their bodies.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Wei Yan listened carefully and told Huang Zhong: "It's about three horses." ”
Huang Zhong hurriedly picked up his strong bow and said to Li Si: "Later, I will be in charge of the first two horses, and you will be in charge of the last one." ”
As soon as they arrived at the ambush position of Huang Zhong and them, they only heard the sound of the bowstring, and the horses under them were shot into the horse's legs and fell to the ground.
Dozens of Shu soldiers quickly rushed out of the stealth, knocked out Cao Qi, who was too frightened to react, in three or two clicks, stuffed a cloth in his mouth, and quickly dragged him to the mountain.
Wei Yan stood in front of the three horses that had been shot down, hesitated for a moment, then raised his knife in his hand, cut off the horse's head, and ordered the sergeant: "Hurry! Fast! Drag all the horses to the mountains and dig up the road soaked in horse blood! ”
Captives and dead horses were quickly taken behind the mountain. Wei Yan and Huang Zhong hurriedly began to try the prisoners.
Although the captives had been knocked unconscious, they had been carried around the mountains and forests, and had already woken up, but they had already been bound hand and foot, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth, and they could not speak or move.
Wei Yan looked at the three of them, walked up to a tall Cao Jun, put the knife on his neck, and warned first: "Don't call, I'll ask you later, you be quiet, 1510 answer honestly." ”
The Cao Jun glared at him with hatred and nodded heavily.
Wei Yan pulled out the cloth stuffed in his mouth, and Cao Jun immediately shouted loudly: "You ......" As soon as he said two words, he couldn't catch his breath and couldn't speak, and his throat had been cut with a big mouth.
A cruel chuckle appeared at the corner of Wei Yan's mouth: "I knew you would have a hard mouth!" ”
"You two, who will speak first?" Wei stretched out his tongue, licked the remaining blood from the knife, and continued to ask the remaining two captives.
The two of them shook their heads in unison, and then nodded in unison.
Wei Yan nodded and warned again: "Speak quietly, don't talk about you, talk about us!" ”
The two captives nodded in unison, and then shook their heads in unison, indicating that they were at a loss.
Wei Yan frowned, thought about it, and said clearly: "What I said about you is us in your mouth, and you are you in our mouth!" What I say is you in your mouth, and we are us in our mouth! Do you understand? ”
The captives shook their heads in unison, and nodded in unison.
Wei Yan made it clearer: "Just talk about your Cao Jun, this is always clear, right?" He was really afraid that the other party didn't understand, and provoked him to kill them all at once.
This time it was really understood, and the two captives nodded desperately at the same time.
Huang Zhong interjected: "You guys be honest and make your words clear, we promise not to kill you, and we can let you go back!" (To be continued.) )
