Chapter 45: Radical General

Leading Zhou Cang and the two Yellow Turban soldiers to set up a trap, hearing the shouts from behind him, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were running towards him and asked, "Where are they at the moment?" ”

"According to the instructions of the gentleman, the brothers are taking the officers and soldiers around the forest! The villain followed the mark left by the gentleman and came to report the news first! The Yellow Turban soldier who reported the news clasped his fists with both hands, bowed slightly and replied.

"Good!" With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei gently patted the yellow turban soldier's shoulder twice and said, "It's hard work, you can rest." ”

The Yellow Turban soldier who reported the news was about twenty-two or three years old, and he looked much more mature than Liu Bian, who was only fifteen years old, and was gently patted on the shoulder by Liu Bian, he was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly, his lips trembled, and he said to Liu Bian: "Mr. is a man of God, every move of the official army is in the control of Mr., and the villain is not tired!" Sir, but there is an exorcism, even if the villain is so tired that his bones are broken, he is also willing! ”

"Hehe, then I'm not a cool official!" Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to the Yellow Turban soldier: "Walking through the forest, throwing off the officers and soldiers to come here, how can you not be tired?" Go and rest, and turn back to have something to tell you to do! ”

"No!" The Yellow Turban soldier responded, bowed slightly with his hands into fists, and took a few steps back before turning around and walking to a tree not far away and sitting against the trunk to rest.

Laying traps is actually not very complicated, some of the Yellow Turban soldiers did not understand at first, but after watching their companions do it twice, they also understood, and each carried the vines and divided into several more groups.

It was just a stick of incense, and more than a hundred vines were all arranged into tight rope traps by the Yellow Turban soldiers.

"Brothers with bows and arrows, you lie in ambush on either side." When the trap was arranged, Liu Wei pointed to the bushes on both sides and said to the more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers with bows and arrows with them: "Once the officers and soldiers step into the trap, you can immediately release arrows at them, and you don't need to wait for my orders." ”

More than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers with bows and arrows answered, divided into two groups, and hid in the bushes on either side.

"You wait, there are more important things for you to do." After assigning hiding places to the archers, Liu Wei nodded to the Yellow Turban soldiers who had returned to report earlier.

"No!" The Yellow Turban soldier hurriedly responded with his fists clenched and stood aside.

"Rest of the brothers, you wait and hide in the bushes five paces behind the archers." The Yellow Turbans armed with bows and arrows burrowed into the bushes on both sides, and Liu Wei then said to the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers: "No one is allowed to fight without my orders!" Until I open my mouth to shout kill, you wait until you rush out again, understand? ”

"No!" Nearly thirty Yellow Turban soldiers responded in unison, and quickly burrowed into the bushes, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Brother, come here!" Most of them were in hiding, and Liu Wei raised his hand and beckoned to the Yellow Turban soldiers who were left behind by him.

"Sir, please command." When he arrived in front of Liu Wei, the yellow turban soldier held his fists, maintained a bowed posture, and responded very respectfully.

"The brothers who haven't arrived yet don't know there's a trap." Liu Wei lowered his head and searched the ground, picked up a stone, walked to the place where the trap was laid, put the stone on the ground, looked back at the yellow turban soldier and said, "You wait here, wait for those brothers to come, and lead them from here to me and General Zhou." After they pass by, you have to kick this stone away without the officers and soldiers noticing your movements, can you do it? ”

"Yes!" This task is much more complicated than a simple hibernation, and the Yellow Turban Soldier couldn't help but feel a burst of joy when he got the task, and hurriedly responded.

Nodding to the Yellow Turban soldier, Liu Wei led Zhou Cang, walked through the place full of traps, and walked under a few big trees more than twenty steps away before stopping.

"Your Highness, will Yan Zheng really come?" There was no one nearby, so Zhou Cangcai lowered his voice and called Liu Wei "Your Highness", and asked him with a bit of expectation in his expression.

"Definitely!" With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang: "And as long as it is a little stimulating, he will also order the officers and soldiers to fire arrows first, trying to shoot us into hedgehogs." ”

"Then why don't you let the soldiers leave a few shields." Hearing that Yan Zhenghui ordered officers and soldiers to shoot arrows, Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out another question.

"With a shield, how can I lure him into a trap." Liu Wei patted Zhou Cang's broad back lightly and said to him: "Yuanfu, look, there are so many thick trees around here, and people are hiding behind them, but they are much better than shields. Although Yan Zheng is not shrewd, he will not be stupid enough to rashly attack a group of people who have been guarded with shields for a long time. If we hide in the tree, he will think that his brothers have fled, and his guard will be much looser. ”

Liu Wei's words stunned Zhou Cang, he didn't expect that there would be so many Taoists in a battle with only a few hundred people participating.

While the two were talking, there was a rustling of footsteps in the woods.

Liu Wei smiled at Zhou Cang and said to him, "It's here." ”

Zhou Cang turned to face in the direction where the footsteps came, pressed the hilt of the long sword at his waist with one hand, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes stared ahead without blinking.

Liu Wei, who was standing beside him, felt that his body was trembling slightly. It is rare for Zhou Cang to have difficulty restraining his physical reactions, and the reason why he is trembling must be because he is about to be able to control the strict government, and he feels excited and excited.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, four men with yellow scarves appeared in Liu Wei and Zhou Cang's field of vision. These men were the same people who were sent by Liu Wei to chase Yan Zheng and lead the officers and soldiers to run around in the forest.

"Brothers, here!" Seeing the four men running over, the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been waiting outside the trap hurriedly waved at them and shouted.

Several men in yellow turbans who were running heard his shout and sped up and rushed towards him.

"From here, go to Mr. and General Zhou!" The Yellow Turban soldiers, who had been waiting on the periphery, pointed to the vacuum area of the trap where the stones were placed, and shouted to a few men who ran over.

The four of them did not answer, and quickly ran towards Liu Wei and Zhou Cang along the road he pointed out, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who were waiting there kicked the stones on the ground out of the way after they ran past, and then jumped towards Liu Wei and Zhou Cang.

Including the guiding Yellow Turban soldiers, the cooperation of the five people can be said to be seamless, and Liu Wei, who was standing not far away and watching, also nodded with satisfaction.

As soon as the five of them ran behind Liu Wei and Zhou Cang, a group of officers and soldiers wearing heavy armor appeared in the forest.

It may be that Liu Wei and Zhou Cang have already been discovered, and the speed of the officers and soldiers is not very fast. The officers and men at the front, armed with large shields and short spears, advanced to a halt five or six paces in front of the trap.

"Hide behind a tree." Looking at the officers and soldiers who appeared in front of him, Liu Wei whispered an order to the five people behind him.

The five of them answered, and quickly dodged and hid behind a large enough tree nearby.

The officers and men who had chased into the woods stopped and formed a formation in the woods, but their formations were crooked and irregular because of the trees in the way.

Yan Zheng walked out from behind these officers and soldiers, looked at Liu Wei and Zhou Cang not far away, his brows were tightly locked, and the scars on his cheeks were twitching rapidly.

"You taught those thieves to scold General Ben?" Staring at Liu Wei, Yan Zheng's eyes widened, and he asked coldly.

"It's taught by a certain person, what can you do?" Liu Wei was not frightened by Yan Zheng's fierce appearance, he just pursed his lips slightly, and said loudly in an extremely disdainful tone: "Being scolded for a few words, regardless of the life or death of the soldiers, rashly led them into the jungle with completely unfamiliar terrain, can a person like you be worthy of being called a general?" ”

was robbed by Liu Wei, the scar on Yan Zheng's face twitched more and more violently, his cheeks were red, he waved at the officers and soldiers behind him, and roared angrily: "Release the arrow, shoot them!" ”

More than 100 officers and soldiers with bows and arrows immediately took off the short bows on their backs, put the arrows on the bowstrings, and aimed at Liu Wei and Zhou Cang, who were more than 20 paces away.

Liu Wei and Zhou Cang glanced at each other, and when they looked at Liu Wei, Zhou Cang's eyes flashed with admiration.

"Let's go!" With Liu Wei's interruption, the two of them jumped towards the nearest tree on the left and right, and in the blink of an eye, they hid behind the tree with their backs against the trunk.

As soon as they hid, Yan Zheng's voice full of anger and anxiety reached their ears: "Release the arrow!" ”

More than 100 arrows flew towards Liu Wei and the others, most of the arrows flew through the gaps between the trees with the sound of the wind, and pierced into the trunks of the trees blocking the way in front of them, and a small number of arrows nailed to the big trees where Liu Wei and the others were hiding after making a "tuk tuk" sound.

During the battle in the canyon, Liu Wei was stabbed in the shoulder blade with a short spear. The wound is not big, but it is deep. Before entering the forest, he had torn strips of cloth from his clothes and bandaged them simply.

The drastic movement of the trap tore through his wounds, but fortunately there was a thick layer of linen wrapped tightly around him, and the blood did not gush out.

With his back on the trunk of the tree, listening to the sound of the arrow piercing the trunk, Liu Wei endured the sharp pain from his shoulder blade, laughed a few times, and shouted to Yan Zheng who was standing next to the array of officers and soldiers: "Yan Zheng, you have this ability?" Your bow and arrows won't work, unless you set fire to the mountain to hurt us. But you're in the mountains right now, and if you dare to do that, I'm sure you'll be burned to charcoal!" ”

"Kill, just die, don't live!" Stimulated by Liu Wei's words, Yan Zheng finally became furious, he drew his long sword, pointed at the place where Liu Wei and the others were hiding, roared angrily, and rushed forward first.

More than 400 officers and soldiers shouted, followed closely behind Yan Zheng, and rushed towards the place where Liu Wei and the others were hiding.
