Chapter 787: Can't Fall for the Treacherous Scheme

Sure enough, the candles lit in the village were lit by fire under the hillside.

The light of the candle is not as bright as that of a bonfire, not only is it not completely unsheltered in the wilderness like a bonfire, but the flame is also very small, and from a distance, the light is very dim.

When the horse arrived at the entrance of the village, Liu Wei stopped the horse and glanced at the village.

As soon as he led Lu Bu and the others to the entrance of the village, Liu Wei heard a panicked shout from the village: "The Qin army is here!" ”

In the stillness of the night, the shouting is especially poignant.

When the shouts fell, the village immediately rioted, and many villagers ran out of their homes, some of them men even carrying farm tools, as if they wanted to rebel against the Qin army.

Standing at the entrance of the village, listening to the noisy noise in the village, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Lu Bu on the side: "The rumors of Yuan Shu are spreading quite hard, and the people around Shouchun are afraid that the tiger color has changed when it comes to our army!" ”

"The last general is the village to talk to them!" Lu Bu shook off the reins, said a word to Liu Wei, clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and was about to enter the village.

Before the war horse under his crotch had time to move forward, Liu Wei stopped him and said, "Feng Xian and slow down!" ”

Knowing that Liu Wei wanted to prevent him from entering the village, Lu Bule stopped his horse, turned his head to look at him and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness?" ”

"Let's go!" Looking at the chaotic village, Liu Wei turned his horse's head, only said one word to Lu Bu and the others, and rode his horse to a dark field.

Seeing Liu Wei leaving, although Lu Bu was unwilling in his heart, he was not inconvenient and did not obey the order, so he had to ride a horse and follow closely.

In the village, a group of villagers with farm tools had already set up a posture to fight with the Qin army, but they waited for a long time, but they did not see the Qin army enter the village.

"Qin Jun is gone!" Just when the men in the village were waiting nervously, a bolder villager ran to the entrance of the village, glanced out, did not see Liu Wei and the others, and quickly ran back to the village and shouted to the villagers.

Hearing that Qin Jun was gone, the villagers were all stunned.

The people under Yuan Shu's tent once came to the village and told them that all the villages that the Qin army passed, regardless of men, women, old and children, would be killed.

Moreover, Yuan Shu's people also said that the Qin army never knew what it meant to retreat, and once they arrived somewhere, they would definitely loot it there, and then Tu Village would leave.

The people who spread rumors to the villagers were talking about the sound and color, and the villagers who had never really seen Qin Jun naturally had preconceived beliefs.

When the Qin army arrived at the entrance of the village, many villagers were very nervous, thinking that many people would die tonight.

But what they didn't expect was that Qin Jun only stayed at the entrance of the village for a while, and then turned around and left, without the slightest sign of entering the village.

"Have you ever seen clearly that it was Qin Jun who came to the entrance of the village?" With doubts in his heart, an old man who stood with the young man with a hoe and planned to fight his old bones to protect his home asked the villager who had just run back from the entrance of the village.

"Although they can't see the color of their clothes and armor clearly, their war horses are very tall, which is different from the war horses of the Huainan Army." After a little hesitation, the man replied with certainty: "It must be that the Qin army is not bad!" ”

"That's weird!" frowned tightly, and the old man muttered: "Didn't you say that when the Qin army arrives somewhere, it must be robbed and killed before leaving?" ”

Liu Wei led the people away, making the villagers wonder, and even Lu Bu didn't understand why he did this.

Without entering the village, Liu Wei, Lu Bu and others could only sleep in the wilderness at night.

Lu Bu Wuyong is not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, but there are already many insects in the wild in spring, and staying in the grass is indeed not a good choice.

"Feng Xian is puzzled why this king left?" Although Lu Bu didn't ask, Liu Wei guessed what he was thinking, and turned his head to ask him.

"Exactly!" Riding a war horse and following Liu Bian's side, when Liu Bian asked him this, Lu Bu did not hide what he thought in his heart, and responded with a fist and said: "Your Highness led me to wait here, but I didn't enter the village, which really made the last general puzzled!" ”

"It's dark, and the villagers are hostile to us!" While riding forward, Liu Wei said to Lu Bu: "If I enter the village rashly, I am afraid that before I speak, the villagers will rush up!" ”

"A group of villagers, how dare they be?" Lu Bu still couldn't believe what Liu Wei said, he shook his head and said: "If the last general enters the village, they will definitely not dare to make a mistake!" ”

"Bongxian!" Listening to what Lu Bu said, Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and said: "With Feng Xian's temperament, if the villagers really make the first move, I am afraid that if they throw off the halberd, they will kill more than a dozen or hundreds on the spot!" ”

After being told through by Liu Wei's words, Lu Bu smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Highness is really discerning, and what the last general thinks in his heart is exactly like this." When you enter the village, whoever is not convinced, you will kill it! ”

"Wouldn't that be exactly what Yuan Shu was up to?" first turned his head to look at Lu Bu, and then Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed forward, and said to Lu Bu and the others: "There is an open space ahead, I will rest there tonight." ”

"Rest in the open space, if you meet the Huainan Army......" The open space has a wide field of vision, and it is easy to be found in the interval, when Liu Wei said that he rested in the open space at night, Lu Bu reminded him with some hesitation.

"The Huainan army has all entered Shouchun City, and it is rare to see it outside the city!" Walking towards the open field on horseback, Liu Wei said to Lu Bu: "I am here to let the villagers know that the Qin army will not harass them. Especially when the king came in person and stayed in this open space, it was even more clear to them that the rumors spread by Yuan Shu were rumors! ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, Lu Bu didn't say anything, and led dozens of soldiers with him towards the open space not far away.

When Liu Wei led Lu Bu and the others to inspect the villages around, on the slopes of Rushan, Deng Zhan also led the dragoon guards to rest on the spot.

The dragoon guard came to Rushan and did not carry much baggage.

When Deng Zhan ordered the camp on the spot, all the dragoons were dressed in armor and lying on the grass.

However, the dragoons lying on the hillside did not have a force of five hundred, and there were only four hundred and fifty or sixty people when they were full.

Sitting cross-legged on the hillside, looking at the deep ditch at the bottom of the slope that was already quite hazy in the night, Deng Zhan frowned slightly, as if waiting for something.

At the same time, at the edge of the deep ditch below the slope, dozens of black shadows were lurking in the grass at the edge of the ditch.

A pair of eyes stared at the bottom of the ditch without blinking, and all the black shadows were waiting quietly.

The one who led these black shadows was Huang Sheng.

Lying on the top of the ditch, Huang Sheng's eyes kept patrolling the bottom of the dark ditch.

Due to the night, the bottom of the ditch was pitch black, lying on the top of the ditch, Huang Sheng was quietly dormant.

He wasn't expecting anything unusual at the bottom of the ravine, he was just waiting for it to get darker.

Looking down from above, although the bottom of the deep ditch is no longer visible, Huang Sheng knows that once he goes down to the bottom of the ditch, he can still vaguely see the surrounding scenery.

If there is a Huainan army guarding the bottom of the ditch, under this kind of vision, as long as their group of people goes down, they may be immediately discovered by the guarding Huainan army.

Dragoons, who specialize in stealth combat, have long been accustomed to fighting in the dark, and the darker it gets, the more beneficial it is for them.

Time passed minute by minute, and Huang Sheng, who was lying on the top of the ditch, was still waiting.

The dragoons in front of him and behind him, as time passed, the hands holding the hilt of the sword became tighter and tighter.

Finally, Huang Sheng felt that the sky was dark enough, and raised his arm to his side.

Dozens of dragoon guards, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Huang Sheng beckoning, and crouched down one after another, followed him, and touched under the ravine.

There is a relatively flat road from the bottom of the ravine to the flat land.

Huang Sheng and others did not choose this path.

The Huainan army, which dug out this ravine, must be much more familiar with the terrain than them, and when guarding this place, they will definitely strengthen the monitoring of this gentle slope.

The reason why he didn't choose to go down the ditch during the day was because when they came here, the Huainan army below must have taken precautions, and if they went down rashly, even if the dragoon guards were brave and good at fighting, they would be caught off guard in the event of a surprise attack.

Entering the night to let people go down to the bottom of the ditch, Deng Zhan made full use of the special operations skills that the Dragoon Guards were good at.

Almost all armies launch night raids with stacks of torches.

But the soldiers of the Dragoon Guard, who have specialized in night raid training, do not need torches at all, and can feel the terrain clearly.

There was no fire to light up, and the Huainan army, which had only seen conventional battles, would never have imagined that just when they thought they could relax their vigilance and see if there was light nearby, they could see the enemy's movements, a team like sharp knives was quietly approaching their hearts.

Ropes with grappling hooks were thrown from the top of the ravine, and when the ropes fell to the bottom of the ravine, Huang Sheng waved to the dozens of dragoons present, pulled one of the ropes, and fell to the bottom of the ditch first.

Huang Sheng borrowed the rope and fell to the bottom of the ditch first, followed by dozens of dragon riders, who also grabbed the rope and fell to the bottom of the ditch.

Grabbing the rope with both hands, Huang Sheng and dozens of dragoon guards fell towards the bottom of the ditch as if they were swinging.

Sensing that he was close to the bottom of the ditch, Huang Sheng slowed down his descent and did not let go of the rope until his feet had touched the ground.

The dragoons who followed him to the bottom of the ditch also fell to the bottom one by one.

When the last dragoon guard went down to the bottom of the ditch, Huang Sheng beckoned and led dozens of people to touch the front lightly.

The bottom of the ditch was dark, and the team of dragoons led by Huang Sheng was light on their feet when they marched forward, but they were not affected by the complex terrain under their feet in the slightest.

After taking dozens of steps forward, Huang Sheng suddenly stopped, raised one arm, and squatted on the ground.
