Chapter 253: Silent for a while

Shiyang Road Crossing, Luoying Mountain.

The forest is dense, and spring is already at the end of the mountain below, but there is still a bit of chill on the mountain.

But even so, it does not prevent all the things on this mountain from going out to forage and mate at this time.

Elk weave through the forest, munching on the grass leaves of the woodland with morning dew from time to time, feeling the smell of the sun.

A feathered arrow burst out of the leaves and shot at the elk, which was already running. With a thud, the elk ran a few steps before falling to the ground.

Several soldiers of the Shu army trotted over, but saw that there was only a pierced wound on the elk's body, bubbling with bright red blood. The feathered arrow, however, pierced through the elk and nailed to the trunk of the tree before the elk.

The soldiers carried the elk, and although they were able to eat more today, there was not much joy on their faces.

"Patriarch, did you say that the prime minister was scolding us? The entire Zhounan County is in a mess. Yang Ping's Changce army has already fought more than ten battles with the Liang army. Now that guy named Huan Jue is even more storming our army's camp. But the prime minister let us be here, is he sending us away? ”

The tall body of this Kua Father army carried the elk, and he didn't care about it bloodily. I only heard him complain, but he was slapped by Tong Drum sitting on the stone.

"With your brain, if the lord is really tricking you, can you see it? Don't complain, go and get the deerskin, the venison is divided, and you still have to eat at noon? ”

Of the 6,000 soldiers stationed in this Falling Eagle Mountain, there are almost more than 1,000 soldiers, all of whom are from the Kuafu clan and are also the elite among them.

Tong Gu is the patriarch of the Kuafu clan and has a high influence on the clansmen. Coupled with his age, it is definitely not too much to describe him as virtuous and respectful among the Kua Father clan.

Although his posture at the moment had nothing to do with his high morality, the soldiers of the Kua Father clan still began to deal with the elk honestly. There was not a trace of wind in the quiet forest, listening to the sound of peeling behind him, Tong Gu stepped on Erlang's legs, one foot on his mount pig, one foot on the stone, supporting his chin with his hand, and there was no luster in his eyes.

Without it, idle.

At the foot of the Falling Eagle Mountain, in the ravine.

Huan Youji took a hundred elites to lurk in it. He stood aside, waiting anxiously, but he didn't rush.

The soldier beside him slowly opened his eyes, and Huan Youji asked, "How is the situation on the mountain?" ”

"My subordinates have already reconnoitred, and there are indeed only a few thousand soldiers on the mountain. Their military discipline was sloppy, and most of them hunted in the woods at this time. And the large camp of the Shu army did store a large number of armaments and materials. However, this army was not very good, and there was no defensive pass at the main road, and everyone was in the camp on the top of the hill. ”

Attaching one's own Lingqi to animals and using their senses to detect the enemy's situation was a unique method of the steppe barbarians. However, with the defeat of the huge steppe empire, the barbarian shaman fell into the netherworld, and the secrets of witchcraft gradually spread to the hands of the Zhou army.

This kind of grassland secret technique was extremely widely applicable, and soon spread among the Zhou army. Over the past 600 years, it has developed into many genres.

The great reason why the army of Liang was able to crisscross the Central Plains was that it mastered the power of this kind of reconnaissance, so it formed a special branch of troops to visit the school. However, being able to master this power and using it perfectly are two different things.

The distance of the investigation, the complexity of the intelligence of the investigation, and the length of time are also determined by the cultivation of the monks of the first line in the army. And the school visit next to Huan Youji is one of the masters.

Although Huan Youji came through the Shiyang Trail, it seemed bold, but the real march was cautious.

"It seems that Yang Xian is really unprepared, and actually sent such a force to guard it? There are a lot of supplies on this mountain, and our army came lightly, and after capturing the mountain, it happened to replenish it. The order went down, and the whole army moved forward quickly, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Shu army, quickly passed through this ravine, and attacked the mountain. ”

On top of the burning bonfire, the venison with a little charred ash glows golden, and the aroma of meat fills the air.

On the top of the mountain, the camp gate of Dazhai was not closed at this time. He took a few soldiers with him and barbecued in the woodland in front of the barracks.

There could be no objects around the camp that blocked the view, so when the camp was set up on Luoying Mountain, the Shu army cut down all the nearby trees. But it was noon, and the sun was shining. Tong Gu took a few tribesmen to lunch in the woodland not far from the camp.

The eyes are full of green shade, and the breeze in the forest is refreshing, but it is unconsciously overflowing with a trace of murder.

Hundreds of vanguard troops were already approaching, and they were about to surround this woodland.

Huan Youji is a general of the first army, but now he is not charging forward. Because he has a more important task, control the troops of nearly 20,000 people, deploy them everywhere in the mountains, and encircle the Shu army camp.

Among these hundreds of vanguard troops, dozens have already entered the center of the woodland, less than thirty zhang away from Tonggu.

Although Liang Jun had never met Tong Gu, the general of the Shu army, he also knew that he was an old man. At this moment, in this mountain, all are young and strong, only the old man who is barbecuing in the forest not far ahead is so conspicuous.

Gently brushing away the leaves, the hands of the Liang soldiers were almost trembling. As long as this old man can be taken, then the Shu army will be disrupted. And this is also their first merit in Shu, a great merit.

This thought lasted in his mind for a short time, and the soldiers of the Liang army took a step forward under the push of the people behind them.

The sun was dappled, but I saw a black shadow coming, passing by, and the sound of the wind sounded in my ears. The soldiers of the Liang army had not yet seen clearly what this black shadow was, but there was a wail behind them.

The soldier who had rushed to the front turned and saw a feathered arrow stuck in the body of his wailing master.

An arrow pierces the heart, and there is no life.

"It's... How can it be? ”

The vanguard of the Liang army was no longer hidden, and more than a dozen Liang soldiers closest to the Tonggu barbecue stall swarmed up. And behind them, there were countless figures coming.

But the old man, the short general of the Shu army with a white beard, chewed the venison he had bitten and swallowed it. Instead of a trace of panic and fear, his face was full of joy.

When Huan Youji's vanguard troops were facing each other with swords, the general of the Shu army named Tong Gu held a longbow in his hand and said something that these Liang army sergeants could not forget.

"Finally there's something to do."

There was a gust of wind in the forest, and this group of soldiers of the Liang Army was speechless for a while.
