Chapter 43: The Rat Leads the Way

Looking at the towering mountains in front of him, Hua'an was a little confused, such a big Mao Mountain, where will the thief's lair be?

"Have any of you been here?" Hua An reined in his horse and turned around and asked.

The soldiers looked left and right and shook their heads.

There is actually no soldier here, a blind search can only be a needle in a haystack, if you use a carpet search, it is obviously far from enough to rely on the hundred people under your hands, after all, Maoshan is too big, Hua An can't help but feel a little anxious.

Wang San looked at the anxious Hua An, and urged him to step forward and said, "Brother Hua An, why don't we find the place where General Chen Xiong fought with the bandits along the main road first, there may be clues we need." ā€

Hua An looked at the hazy mountains in front of him, nodded and responded, "It seems that this is the only way." ā€

"Driving ......"

The group traveled along the main road for more than ten miles, and the terrain in front of them became dangerous, and Hua'an suddenly felt a cold murderous aura rushing towards him.

So Le Ma ordered: "The whole team immediately stops advancing. ā€

"What's the matter, team." The iron bull behind him asked suspiciously.

Hua An looked at the cliffs on both sides, sniffed, and said lightly: "It's so heavy murderous aura, everyone be careful, move forward slowly." ā€

Hua An looked around vigilantly, and slowly walked forward, the more he moved forward, the more murderous he became, and the smell of blood gradually filled the air.

Hua An suddenly realized that there must be a battlefield in front of him where General Chen Xiong and the bandits were fighting, and the cliffs on both sides of the road were the places where the bandits ambushed the archers and rolling logs and stones.

No wonder there is such a big murderous aura, it turns out that he has entered the ambush circle of robbing passers-by, fortunately the bandits should be sleeping in the lair at this time, otherwise they will lose a hundred or so people.

"The team is right, there seems to be someone in front." A sharp-eyed soldier shouted.

Hua An looked ahead, and saw a few adults in white standing scattered on the road ahead, especially eye-catching in the moonlight, and there seemed to be many people lying on the ground around them.

Although it was far away, Hua'an was almost certain from his intuition that the figures in front of him must be corpses left on the battlefield, and they were all Great Jin soldiers who had been stripped of their armor.

"Let's take a look."

Hua An rode his horse and took the lead forward.

There were nearly 300 corpses all over the ground, and the backs of the few corpses standing were deliberately inserted into the backs of two inferior spears, which were obviously done by the bandits in order to vent their anger.

The 100 soldiers behind Hua'an saw the scene in front of them, and they were all sad and angry, and their eyes were full of anger as if they were saying, "We must kill all these hateful bandits." ā€

"Brother Hua An, the battlefield has been cleaned, and only the corpses of our soldiers are left, and it seems that there are no valuable clues."

Hua An glanced at Wang San, pointed to the corpses of nearly three hundred soldiers on the ground, and said lightly: "They are all warriors of my Great Jin, we can't let their bodies lie here and let the beasts spoil them, let them be buried in the ground!" ā€

After Hua An finished speaking, he turned around and thought about what to do next, and Wang San beckoned the soldiers to bury the corpses of the Great Jin soldiers.

10,000 loads of military rations, thousands of grain trucks, there is not a single rut on the battlefield, this group of bandits is really leaky, and it is really not easy to think of removing the rut marks.

Hua An was secretly frightened in his heart, the thieves who could be so careful, the thieves' nest must also be located in an extremely hidden place, and it can even be imagined that there must be traps, secret whistles and other necessary precautions around the nest.

Thinking of this, Hua An couldn't help frowning, could it be that the first mission he entered the barracks would end in failure, which was too embarrassing.

Although Hua An was unwilling in his heart, the truth was that there was no clue to follow.

"Squeak Squeak ......"

"Hehe, let you run again, I'll catch you now!"

A younger soldier held a mouse in his hand and laughed to himself.

"What are you holding in your hands?" Hua An walked over and asked.

The young soldier immediately put the mouse behind him and said nervously, "Team up, it's nothing." ā€

Hua An was stunned and ordered, "Take it out." ā€

"Yes, team." Suddenly, a fleshy little mouse appeared in front of Hua An.

Hua An glanced at the soldier and said coldly: "Other soldiers are working, but you are here to catch mice and play, and when you go back, you will go and get the twenty boards yourself." ā€

Hua An turned around after speaking, and saw three or five little mice crawling past his feet, and when he looked closely, there were really many little mice running around.

Hua An was surprised in his heart, there are many corpses here, do rats also eat meat, he turned to look at the stunned little soldier, and asked casually: "Do rats eat meat?" ā€

The soldier who made the mistake was surprised: "The team is laughing, the rats only eat food and not meat." ā€

"Eat only grain, not meat." Hua An muttered silently in his mouth, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, by the way, there must be a lot of missing food in 10,000 tons of military rations, and this is the place where the two armies are fighting, and the military rations must have been sprinkled a lot after competition, so these rats were recruited.

The same is true of the damaged sacks that will spill a lot on the way to the bandits' dens, and although the bandits can use a broom to remove the rut marks, they can't remove the grains, which means that if you look along the mouse-ridden area, you will definitely find the bandits' lair.

Thinking of a way, Hua Anxin was overjoyed, pointed to the errant soldier, and said: "The 20th board is exempted, and after you go back, this team is asking for credit for you." ā€

"Ah......h

After Wang San buried the three hundred corpses, he gathered around Hua'an with all the soldiers to listen to instructions.

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at the hundred soldiers in front of him, and ordered: "Soldiers, you will scatter in groups of ten people to look for rats later, which direction there are more rats, we will look in whichever direction, as long as we look in the direction where there are many rats, we can easily find the bandits' lair, do you understand?" ā€

"Understood." The soldiers replied loudly with confused eyes.

"Act now."

Under the order of Hua'an, the soldiers searched and advanced around under the leadership of their respective chiefs, and it was indeed difficult to find a grain of grain in the moonlight, but it was much easier to find the rats that were jumping around.

After a while, Tie Niu's group found a large number of rats, and Hua An ordered all the soldiers to look carefully in the direction where Tie Niu was, and sure enough, groups of rats could be found along the way.

The further they went, the narrower and steeper the mountain road became, and after walking for about two miles, they found thousands of grain trucks in a depression in Hua'an, but the military rations inside were gone, and it was obvious that the grain was carried to the lair by the thieves on foot.

Hua An looked at the terrain in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head, not to mention the grain cart, even if it was a horse, it was very difficult to ride, and the speed of leading the horse was not as good as walking, so Hua An decided to leave twenty soldiers to take care of the horses, and the remaining eighty people continued to move forward.

Climbed over a mountain peak, standing on the top of the mountain, Hua'an can already see the sporadic firelight in the distance, and the firelight in front of him must be the bandit's lair, Hua'an was suddenly excited, the night's hard work was always in vain, and finally found the bandit's lair.

"Brother Hua, our mission is accomplished." The corners of Wang San's mouth were filled with a smile.

Hua An said lightly: "It can only be regarded as half done, we still don't know the enemy's troop allocation, this is more important than discovering the enemy's position, understand?" ā€

"Then we'll scout closer." Iron Bull built yƬ road.

Hua An looked at the direction of the thief's nest and nodded, and analyzed: "The thief's lair seems to be only three miles away, and there must be their secret sentry in the future, so many of us have too big a target, in order not to startle the snake, I decided to take only ten people to investigate as hunters, and the rest of the soldiers stayed here to respond." ā€

"Brother Hua An, I'll go with you."

"Okay, Wang San, let your subordinates take off all their armor, and each soldier is only allowed to carry bows and arrows." Hua An said and took off his armor, put on a big bow and sharp arrows on his back, hung a green sword at his waist, looked sideways at Tie Niu, and said: "Tie Niu, the seventy soldiers here will be handed over to you, and they will ambush me here at any time." ā€

Iron Bull nodded in response, "Well, the team is careful. ā€

"Soldiers, come with me," Hua An beckoned to Wang San and the others, who had already changed their clothes.

Ten soldiers followed Hua'an towards the bandits' lair, keeping their guard on the edge at all times.

Although the mountains and forests looked particularly hazy under the moonlight, Hua An and the others, who had their mission in mind, were not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of nature, and they had only one thought in their hearts at this time, that is, to complete the task of reconnoitring the enemy situation with quality and quantity.

"Brother Hua An, these bandits are really careless, they are almost to the thieves' nest, and they didn't see a single sentry, not even traps and barricades, it is estimated that they are asleep in the middle of the night." Wang San relaxed his vigilance as he spoke, he stood up straight and walked forward with a big grin.

Hua'an felt as if something was wrong, it was so close, there shouldn't be no bandits' sentry, and with the meticulous process of cleaning the battlefield with this gang of bandits, it would never be so careless.

A cool breeze blew across Hua An's cheeks, making him shiver.

Hua Anmeng's heart sank, and he said in his heart: "It's surprisingly quiet here, there is not even a sound, and there seems to be a trace of murderous aura hidden in the air, so it is not surrounded by enemies." ā€

"It's not good, the soldiers are lying down."

"Whoosh ......"

As soon as Hua An's words fell, a burst of hurried arrows shot at them, but fortunately, the ten soldiers around him were all elites from a hundred, and they were very agile to dodge the flying arrows.

"It's dangerous." Wang San, who had escaped the catastrophe, touched his head and sighed with palpitations.

Hua An glanced at Wang San, looked at the arrows that were shot, and ordered: "Don't panic, everyone, listen to the voice, the other party is about twenty people, you are in a group of three, relying on the terrain, and immediately return fire." ā€
