Chapter 82: Clearing the Riverbank

The team of more than 100 people slowly advanced towards the river, and in front of them were a few men who could see normally at night, and the group of men who could not see anything at night were implicated by the ropes and followed them by cats and slowly advanced.

Approaching the river, Liu Wei raised his hand to stop the advancing procession. The men who walked in front stopped, but the men who followed in a series couldn't see Liu Wei's gestures at all because their vision at night was equivalent to that of a blind person, and they bumped into each other one after another, and many of them tripped and fell to the ground.

Many men fell into the grass, making a soft "squirming" sound, mixed with a few muffled snorts that were painfully fallen.

The Yellow River roars and waves at night. The pitch-black waves, coated with a silver halo of moonlight, churned in mid-air and slammed into the riverbed with an earth-shattering roar.

The loud noise of the waves drowned out the sound of the men when they fell, and provided them with the best cover.

Glancing at the men who fell to the ground and were getting up one after another, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said to Dian Wei and Zhou Cang on the side: "The sentry set up by the thief army by the river must be able to see normally at night, and our actions must be light and fast, and must not be discovered by their main force." ”

After giving an order to the two of them, Liu Wei waved his hand to the men who were tied together by ropes, and took Zhou Cang and Dian Wei to touch the pile of rocks on the bank of the river under the cover of the heavy night.

The eight men with ropes tied to their bodies to guide the road untied the ropes tied around their waists after Liu Wei led Zhou Cang and Dian Wei away. Then they helped their companions untie the ropes, and the cats bent their waists and walked up and down through the grass, arranging places for everyone to sleep.

Leaving the field overgrown with weeds, Liu Wei, Zhou Cang, and Dian Wei quickly burrowed into the pile of rocks, hiding behind large enough stones to hide.

Under the cover of the stone, Liu Wei carefully observed the surrounding environment, and after a while, he pointed to the position where the silver shimmer was reflected not far away, and made a gesture to Zhou Cang and Dian Wei.

There were rocks everywhere, and the servants bowed down, and under the cover of the night, they quickly touched the pile of rubble, which reflected the silver shimmer.

The stones were sticking to the soles of their feet, and they were hard and a little painful, but this was not the place that caused the most trouble to Liu Wei and the others, what really caused them trouble was those scattered small stones.

Every step they take, Liu Wei and the others will be extremely careful, for fear that they will inadvertently kick out a stone and alarm the sentry of Dong Zhuojun, who is hidden in the rubble.

There are gravel under your feet, and if you lift your feet, you may rub out a few of them. Fortunately, not far from them was the Yellow River, and the surging Yellow River made a loud noise, covering the light noise they made when they walked.

Under the cover of the rocks, the servants finally touched the back of the big stone where Dong Zhuojun's sentry was hiding.

The rocks blocked the sentry's figure, and Liu Wei couldn't see how many of them there were. He made a set of gestures to Dian Wei and Zhou Cang, asking them to outflank them from the left and right directions, while he himself touched the big stone directly behind the sentry.

The surging waves covered the sound of Liu Wei and the others when they moved, and the five sentries of Dong Zhuojun sat with their backs against the big stone, most of them were asleep, and only one of them was still with his eyes open, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, listening to the surging sound of the waves of the Yellow River not far behind him.

The huge stone became a natural barrier to cover the five sentinels, but it also blocked the view of the sentinels who were not sleeping. Liu Wei, Dian Wei, and Zhou Cang had already touched their vicinity in three directions, and the awake sentries were still unaware.

Quietly climbing onto the big rock, Liu Wei leaned over and looked at the several Dong Zhuojun soldiers sitting with their backs against the big stone.

Three of the five sentries sat with their backs against the large rocks, all with their heads bowed, and two with their heads leaning back against the stone wall. One of the two people who looked up had his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open, showing that he had fallen asleep.

Of the five people, only one of them had round eyes, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sure that only one person was still awake, Liu Wei lay on his stomach on the big stone and gestured to Zhou Cang and Dian Wei, who had already touched both sides.

Zhou Cang and Dian Wei, who were lying on both sides of the big stone, nodded, and their eyes looked at Liu Wei, who was lying on the stone, quietly waiting for his next move.

The sentry looking at the bright moon may have tilted his head for a long time, he moved his butt twice, put his back closer to the big stone, lowered his head, raised a hand and gently kneaded the back of his neck.

Liu Wei held the sword in both hands, pointed the tip of the sword straight down, and with a fierce force, the long sword slashed through a silver light under the reflection of the moonlight, and pierced it towards the soldier who was rubbing the back of his neck with his head down.

The force of a sword stabbed out on a large stone was very difficult to grasp, and with the stone blocking, the two arms could not be extended.

Even so, the sword that Liu Wei stabbed out was still fierce and fast! One of the soldier's hands was still kneading his neck, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced his palm with a "poof", piercing the back of his neck.

As soon as Liu Wei made a move, Zhou Cang and Dian Wei, who were lying dormant on both sides of the stone, strode towards the other four sleeping sentinels, but the poor four sentinels were still immersed in sleep, so they turned their heads and became headless ghosts.

After touching out six or seven secret posts arranged by Dong Zhuojun on the river beach in a row, Liu Wei hid behind a big rock, and his eyes kept looking around.

As far as the eye could see, the silver moonlight was shining on the river beach, and there was no sign of human breath in the dark rocks.

At first, the sound of the waves helped Liu Wei and the others hide their tracks, but at this time, Liu Wei hoped that the big waves could temporarily stop, so that he could listen carefully to whether there was any abnormal sound nearby.

The surging Yellow River can never stop flowing because of people's thoughts, it is still rushing as before, setting off huge waves. The huge wave crashed against the riverbed with an earth-shattering roar.

Waved his hand twice at Dian Wei and Zhou Cang behind him, asking them to wait in the rubble and not move, Liu Wei bent his waist and touched another piece of rubble not far ahead.

Dian Wei and Zhou Cang, who were hiding behind the big stones, stretched out their heads to look at Liu Wei's gradually hazy back in the night, and glanced at each other, and they both saw a little worry on each other's faces.

The cat jumped forward for some distance, and Liu Wei lay dormant behind a large rock again.

He poked his head out to look at the black rocks in front of him. A small shadow that didn't look much different from the rocks caught his eye.

The rocks on the river beach are very sharp and angular, and some of the stones have sharp thorns. The small shadow was in the midst of a mess of rocks, but the outline was very smooth, and at first glance, it seemed almost one with the rocks, but when you looked closely, you could see that it did not naturally belong to this craggy rock.

Stretching out his thumb and forefinger to roughly gauge the distance of the small shadow, Liu Wei turned his head to look around, selected the nearest large stone, and jumped towards it.

After several successive moves, Liu Wei finally came to the back of a large rock that was only three or four steps away from the shadow.

At such a close distance, even at night, Liu Wei could clearly see that the shadow was actually the back of a person wearing leather armor.

The few sentry posts that were solved with Dian Wei and Zhou Cang were all exposed by the moonlight reflected by the blades, and the back in front of Liu Wei was only a hazy shadow from a distance, and there was no sign of the blades reflecting the moonlight.

Squatting behind the big stone and quietly looking at the back of the soldier three or four steps away, Liu Wei grabbed the long sword in his hand, left the big stone lightly, and touched the soldier's back.

Hiding behind the stone where the soldier's back was leaning, Liu Wei did not immediately move at him, but stretched out his head to look in front of the soldier who was facing away from him.

In the dark and swarthy rocks, dozens of Dong Zhuojun soldiers who were sleeping against the stones appeared in Liu Wei's sight.

The soldiers all carried their spears horizontally at their feet, the tips of which were covered by inverted shields, and it was no wonder that the moonlight shone on the rocks and did not reflect the silver sheen.

According to a rough estimate, there were fifty or sixty Dong Zhuojun soldiers lying in this mess of rocks, and if they were not discovered, if they were led to force a breakthrough at dawn, they would inevitably be intercepted by them, and the casualties would not be too small.

The banks of the river are full of stones, and the army will not choose to camp here. Two days ago, Liu Wei saw an army of more than 1,000 people here, and it would have been impossible for such a large number to take root in the rocks on the side of the river.

There were so many soldiers in this group that there must have been some of them who had normal vision at night. In the absence of determining the location of the sentry, Liu Wei would never do it lightly.

Squatting behind the stone, his vision was greatly hindered, Liu Wei looked up at the top of the stone, and then reached out to touch the surface of the boulder.

It is on the edge of the wet river beach all year round, and a large patch of moss grows on the surface of the stone, and it is slippery to the touch.

This stone is still a little different from the previous ones that Liu Wei climbed up, the previous stones are relatively small in size, although the surface is also very slippery, but it is not very difficult to climb up.

The stone in front of me was much larger than the previous ones, nearly two people tall. If you want to climb such a high and slippery rock, Mo said that Liu Wei has no climbing tools at the moment, even if he is given a complete set of climbing tools, it is impossible to climb up without making a sound.

Unable to climb the big rock, Liu Wei looked at the edge of the stone and found that only four or five steps away from the stone was a slightly smaller stone.

He slowly rubbed his way towards the smaller stone.
