Chapter 8: Meeting on a Narrow Road

(It's almost a week, so I'm looking forward to recommending it!) ~)

At the beginning of June in the first year of the Han Dynasty, the climate in the northern hemisphere gradually entered the heat, and in the afternoon, under the hot sun, the figures were densely lined up, but they were drilled into the dense forest coiled between the hillsides.

There are several taboos in the military camping and resting, the lowland terrain is not stubborn, and the hot weather is not in the forest, after all, fire attack and water attack have always been very respected, and in some classics, especially in the battle of winning more with less, think about breaking the embankment in the water source, it is easy to flood countless soldiers in the low ground; And a fire, in the summer heat, combined with the flammability of the woods themselves, can also cause a catastrophe for the forest people.

But knowing these is one thing, but there are not many people who can really grasp and flexibly use them, just like Lu Bu, who found traces of people who may be in the dense forest, he didn't think of these at this time, or so many days of monotonous and tired chasing, so his head couldn't stay awake at all times, so his first reaction was to follow in and search, and his subordinates naturally followed, following him closely, leaving only a few people outside to continue to inquire about the situation, which could be regarded as a backup hand just in case.

Lu Bu was followed by Ji Zhao, Lu Bu's goal was only ahead, but at the same time, he was watching and listening to all directions, for his current level, few people could succeed in sneak attacks; And Ji Zhao had to signal to the people behind him, and at the same time, he had to pay careful attention to the movements around him, after all, Lu Bu was also a person with limited energy, and some aspects still needed to be shared.

The scope of this dense forest does not seem to be large, but when I really go deep into it, I realize that it is definitely not small, there are no towering trees in it, but the interval between the trees is relatively small, and probably because it has not been pruned, the branches scattered everywhere in the process of growth make the entire dense forest almost covered by lush branches and leaves, and it is almost impossible to feel the sunlight outside.

The air inside seemed very primitive and fresh, but Lu Bu and the others' minds were all on the scenery along the way, they were like hunters in the dark, lurking and searching in the not bright and open environment.

Along the way, I also found a few traces that can be used as evidence of human infestation, so at this time, it has been determined that there are indeed people inside, but it is difficult to say whether it is Sun Ce and his party, if it is someone else, although Lu Bu is not afraid, he does not want to cause trouble and disturb others, which is also the reason why he is more cautious along the way.

As he went deeper and deeper, Lu Bu remained calm and silent, and a pair of eyes searched through the forest, the scattered light as sharp as a falcon eagle, and nothing seemed to escape under that gaze.

Finally, I don't know how long and how far I have been silently lurking, anyway, I have probably reached the deepest part of this dense forest, Lu Bu suddenly called to stop, and then called Ji Zhao softly, without Lu Bu's command, Ji Zhao knew what he meant, nodded and counted as a promise, and then Lu Bu and the others stopped, Ji Zhao carefully began to observe the surroundings, looked there from time to time and touched here, listened for a while, and finally returned to Lu Bu's side and nodded slightly.

Lu Bu's heart moved, pointing to the direction that Ji Zhao signaled, and the group continued to move forward for more than ten steps, and suddenly some faint and small sounds began to come from their ears, although they were very small and inconspicuous, but they were very real.

A few more steps can even be seen clearly on the opposite side of a branch of leaves, a few swaying shadows, which should belong to humans.

"Haha, finally caught up!" Finally, when he got closer, he could see the sparse figures in the forest more or less, and Lu Bu was overjoyed in his heart, but he still maintained the most basic vigilance. …,

Although the scene in front of him looks like the other party is tired and resting, if it is really Sun Ce, it is easy to explain, after all, according to such a short period of time, there is no room for them to calmly arrange and play any means, but everything is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, there is nothing wrong with being careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.

And Lu Bu's vigilance naturally made Ji Zhao and the others dare not be careless, they all squinted their eyes, clenched the weapons in their hands, and carefully paid attention to the abnormal situation around them.

At this time, everyone really suppressed the footsteps to the lowest, one small step at a time, almost cushioning the past, and finally approached, Lu Bu had already stretched out Fang Tian's painting halberd, and gently opened a jungle leaf hidden in front of him, finally revealing the scene inside.

That is, there are about ten steps away from them, Lu Bu's eyesight is very good, and it is clear at a glance, it is indeed Sun Ce and his party, and they are also resting at this time, such a hot weather in this shady woods is undoubtedly more cool, and probably because they have not been caught up for so long, they are somewhat lax and too relaxed, and several of them even took off their armor and were bare-chested.

Lu Bu sneered in his heart, but he was not overjoyed, he listened for a while, and found that the surroundings were really noisy, and all kinds of sounds filled his ears, especially the mountain wind gusting like the fierce roar of the mountain god, which had a huge impact on the sense of hearing, and in this environment, it was no wonder that even if they were separated from such a short distance, they did not find the footsteps of the others at all.

But this doesn't matter, it's better for Lu Bu, at that moment, Lu Bu gave a decisive order, and the group began to run wildly with all their might, as for the forest trees in front of them, they had already "made way" under Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd, and that was the big movement here, Sun Ce and the others over there finally noticed it, but when they discovered the source of the object they were vigilant about, Lu Bu's line had completely jumped into their sight with lightning speed.

They were only a few steps away!

This discovery undoubtedly shocked them, who had already greatly reduced their vigilance, if Sun Ce and the others could still react, those guards did not have such a quick reaction ability and speed at all, and when they reacted, Lu Bu and his party had already bullied them closely.

As soon as the word threat came to mind, several soldiers on the outermost edge were already wide-eyed and could only watch the enemy's weapons pierce into their bodies, and they didn't even have time to take a last look at their own blood, and their consciousness was already blurred, especially two of them were shirtless, without the cushion and protection of armor, and they were completely soaked in bloody wounds, drowning in a sea of blood.

And at this time, Sun Ce and the others didn't even think of running away at all, Sun Ce only snorted, as Huang Gai and the three of them responded in response, the others also reacted, and then they all stimulated the blood of the man in their bones at the first time, each grabbed their respective weapons, and rushed towards this side with a posture of not swearing and not giving up.

Lu Bu sneered, with the face and body that was splashed with blood just now, he felt that he was quite a bit of a demon king of the world, but I have to say that people are just living faces, if this scene happened to Dian Wei now, it would undoubtedly be the imagination space of a hell demon, but Lu Bu was even more majestic, like a living bloody god of war, not angry but self-assured.

However, the opponent is not easy to mess with, purely in terms of strength, of course, it is a world of difference, but many times on the battlefield is not based on strength to speak, otherwise Wang Yue can go sideways, but this is not the case, so Huang Gai and the others hardened, and they were able to fight with Lu Bu when they rushed up.
