About a hundred miles north of Yuyang City, there is a large forest, and the trees in the forest are not too high, but they are very dense. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

An official road runs through this dense forest.

It was late autumn, and almost all the leaves on the trees had fallen to the ground, covering the official road.

When Zhao Ming and Dou Jingye arrived in front of this forest, it was already late at night. But in the faint moonlight, Zhao Ming couldn't help but laugh three times when he saw the scene of the official road in the forest.

Dou Jingye asked him suspiciously, Zhao Mingle pointed to the leaves on the path in the woods and said, "Big brother, these leaves can help us dig traps and hide our figures!" It can also be a weapon for us to kill the enemy! ”

Seeing Dou Jingye's face full of disbelief, Zhao Mingman didn't care, and patted Dou Jingye's shoulder with a smile and said: "Haha, big brother, just wait and see, when the Khitan people come, you will understand, I just hope you won't be too happy then!" ”

Dou Jingye squinted at Zhao Ming for two or three seconds when he heard this, then turned around and walked towards the soldiers and said, "Then I'll wait until the time comes, and now I'll arrange for the brothers to set up camp first." ”

"Big brother, don't let the brothers settle down, just let them find a place to sleep on their own, don't leak the flaws and be recognized by the Khitans." Zhao Ming shouted at Dou Jingye's departing back.

"Got it!" Dou Jingye didn't know how to do it, and waved his hand from afar.

Zhao Ming chuckled lightly and walked towards the forest alone.

Zhao Ming ran over in the forest, nodded twice towards this place, and then pointed over there, busy and happy.

Half an hour later, Zhao Ming finally came back and found a place where Dou Jingye was resting, Dou Jingye was lying on the ground, looking at the moon with his head in his hands.

Zhao Ming sat next to him, then lay down, followed Dou Jingye's example, put his hands under his head, and looked at the night sky: "Hey, hey, I'm tired!" ”

"What are you doing?" Dou Jingye turned his head to look at Zhao Ming and asked.

"I went back and forth to look at those places and saw that there were good Tibetans, we five hundred people, don't look for a place to hide, the Khitan is here, and it will definitely leak!" Zhao Ming gasped and said.

"Oops, why didn't I think of this stubble, haha, it's good to have you!" Dou Jingye laughed loudly when he heard this.

Zhao Ming lay on the ground and shrugged his shoulders and said: "I instigated you to bring these five hundred brothers out, naturally you have to try your best to ensure their safety, how can you not let these brothers die in vain, you say yes." ”

"Haha, that's a good thing to hear! When we return to Yuyang after victory, we will definitely have a drink with you, brother! ”

"Big brother, how can you count one cup? At least 10 cups! Ha ha! Zhao Ming said with a laugh.

"Haha, okay, then ten cups! By then, our brothers will have a good drink! ”

"And these five hundred brothers! Let's have a drink together! Zhao Ming said, laughing at Dou Jingye and said, "Big brother, you won't be able to stand it when the time comes." ”

"What are you kidding? You ask the brothers, my old Dou is known as a thousand cups! But you, a scholar, don't mind begging us for mercy when the time comes, just by what you just said, begging for mercy can't let you go! Ha ha! Dou Jingye said disdainfully.

The surrounding soldiers also laughed when they heard this.

"Then let's wait to go back to the celebration feast!"

"That's for sure!"

……

After a long day of travel, everyone was already tired, and after a short period of relaxation, two people were left to keep vigil, and the rest of the people fell asleep.

The next morning, everyone woke up early, and after eating the dry food they carried, Zhao Ming commanded everyone to start setting traps.

Time is of the essence, and complex traps cannot be arranged, but simple traps still have plenty of time to be arranged.

This time, the traps arranged by Zhao Ming were mainly tripping ropes, and on the forest path, a tripping rope was arranged every three meters, and a total of forty were arranged.

At the end of these ropes, a large pit was dug five meters long and three meters deep, the same width as the official road, and fifty spears were inserted in the pit, and branches were put on it, and leaves were sprinkled on it.

The traps were laid so much, and in half a day, they were finished.

After setting up the trap, Zhao Ming led everyone to dig out the location of the Tibetans found last night, and dug a total of about 200 large pits on both sides of the road, each with two people hidden in each pit.

Of course, these pits are different from those traps, which are dug straight down, while these pits are dug diagonally downwards.

In the pit, Zhao Ming asked them to stuff the leaves that came from the distance, of course, the leaves were very dazzling, and it did not affect the two of them to enter.

After all this was done, another day passed.

In the night, Zhao Ming asked the soldiers to take out the small bag given to them before leaving, and said: "Brothers, this bag of things, called gunpowder, is our secret weapon to destroy the Khitans!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd, and then continued: "You use a rope to tie this bag of gunpowder to the arrow, and when the Khitan army enters our ambush circle in the future, and the leader falls into the chaotic spear pit at the end, you can shoot this arrow!" ”

"This thing is so powerful? Just out? Dou Jingye asked suspiciously.

Zhao Ming explained: "As the name suggests, this thing is called gunpowder, and it is naturally inseparable from fire, so when the Khitan army falls into the chaotic spear pit, some of us still need to shoot rockets at it!" Everyone knows about rockets. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers said loudly.

"Well, this gunpowder will explode when it encounters fire, and I also asked them to put small pebbles in this gunpowder, and when the Khitan army enters the ambush, it will definitely be extremely sour! You'll know the exact effect then. I won't let you down! Zhao Ming said with a smile.

As he spoke, Zhao Ming's face became serious: "The most important thing!" All of you must remember that the order at that time was the screams of the Khitan army falling into the pit of chaotic spears, and when the screams started, the tripping ropes were to get up, and the arrow team was to shoot arrows, and after the arrows were fired, we charged with the whole army! Brother Dou, when the time comes, as soon as the arrow in your hand is finished, you will give the order and lead your brothers to charge and fight a bloody battle with the enemy, which is good! ”

"No problem, I'm going to kill myself when the time comes!" Dou Jingye said solemnly.

"Yes. That's it! Zhao Ming nodded and said, took out the needle and thread that he asked people to find before leaving, and handed it to the person next to him: "You go and send these needles and threads to the brothers, and let them put this thread on the leaves and take the lead in a circle as a cover." ”

The man took the order, took the needle and thread, and left.

Zhao Ming said again: "Okay, let's all disperse." ”

After everyone dispersed, Dou Jingye patted Zhao Ming next to him, gave a thumbs up and said, "You kid is very thoughtful!" ”

Zhao Ming sneered: "Haha, for the safety of the soldiers, for us to be successful, we have to think more!" ”

"Hahaha, my old Dou has never fought an ambush, hey, I wonder, I don't know much about these things, why are you just the Tao?" Dou Jingye said, asking with some doubts.

"This ......" Zhao Ming was stunned when he heard this, then rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you know why I want to join the army?" ”

"Don't you think that scholars have no chance to serve the country before joining the army? That's what you told me. Dou Jingye said.

Zhao Ming waved his hand and said: "This set of rhetoric is used to deceive the teacher and them, but it is actually ......"

Zhao Ming glanced around, then put his mouth into Dou Jingye's ear and whispered: "Actually, I was bedridden for two years, and when I was about to die, I saw the Jade Emperor in a dream, and he told me, you should be from Rong, and you will be the Son of Heaven in the future!" Extend your life today, I hope you don't let me down! Then the Jade Emperor and his old man disappeared, and then I miraculously recovered. After that, I thought, this is the will of God to let me join the army, I can't go against the will of God, so I want to join the army, but I don't dare to tell the truth to the teacher, so I ......"

Zhao Ming said, glancing at Dou Jingye with a look that you know.

Dou Jingye is a rough man, but he also believes in heaven, when he heard Zhao Ming say that it was providence for him to join the army, he immediately believed it, and then remembered what Zhao Ming said just now, the Jade Emperor said that if Zhao Ming is from Rong, he will be the son of heaven in the future, and he panicked in his heart, and he wanted to kneel.

Zhao Ming didn't expect Dou Jingye to react so violently, so he quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother Dou, don't kneel, don't kneel!" At this time, I only said that I listened to you, and you must not listen to others anymore! Also, in the future, big brother, you will treat me as usual, do you know? ”

When Dou Jingye heard this, he said again and again: "I know, I know!" ”

"Yes." Zhao Ming nodded and said, "Let's go, big brother, it's time for us to rest." ”

"Okay, okay!" Dou Jingye answered and hurriedly ran away.

Zhao Ming didn't expect Dou Jingye to believe this set of rhetoric so much, shook his head, and walked towards the resting place.
