Cao Jun observed several grain convoys along the way.

Seeing that they often work in groups of four, they are assigned a wheelbarrow, with one person in front responsible for pulling, and one person in the back responsible for steering and stabilizing the body.

The next two are responsible for the rotation at any time.

The legendary wooden ox and flowing horse have not yet been revealed.

After crossing a steep path, they arrived at a ravine from the mountainside, and were about to rest for a while.

Da Da Da ......

There was the sound of horses' hooves.

The sentry who was riding a horse to explore the road in front suddenly turned around and shouted: "It's not good, there may be Wei troops ahead, please prepare early." ”

The chief then nervously stopped the sentry and asked carefully, "Have you seen the Wei army with your own eyes?" ”

"If I see Wei Jun, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, the sentry explained: "Less than five miles ahead, there is a grain transport team, the car has been overturned, the grain and grass have also been burned, only the corpses of our army are seen in the same place, but there is no corpse of the Wei army, it must have encountered the grain interception team of the Wei army." ”

"They can not only appear five miles away, but also kill us at any time, and ask the general to prepare early."

It is said that below the Ya goalkeeper, they are not qualified to be called generals.

The sentry called a mere chief a general, and was obviously suspected of currying favor with the sycophants.

But at this moment, Bochang's mind is all on the upcoming Wei army, how can anyone care about these details.

The chief and the chief of the army who were surrounding him suggested one after another, "General, since the Wei army has been seen in front, we must not move forward, we should find a place to hide, and when the grain transportation team in the rear is gathered and there are many people, we should move forward together." ”

The chief listened to the opinions of several people, but was silent.

From Hanzhong to Qishan Daying all the way for more than 300 miles, he received a grain delivery period of 15 days.

Now, it has been seven or eight days, and it is only a third of the way.

Although the rest of the road is mostly flat, and the journey can be faster, this place is close to the scope of the battle between the two sides, and the Wei army will be killed at any time, and the danger is even more dangerous than before.

If you find a place to hide, I am afraid that the deadline will be delayed.

By then, the head of his uncle would have been gone.

If you move forward, you may encounter the Wei army.

If you retreat, it is a mountain road of several hundred miles, and then you will encounter the grain team in the rear, and it will be difficult to find a spacious place to turn around on the mountainside at a height of several hundred meters.

In a short period of time, the chief has already made a decision in his heart.

"Is there a place ahead that is difficult to defend and difficult to attack?"

"General, there is a place two miles ahead, called Hulukou, which can accommodate just a few hundred people."

"Good!"

The chief clapped his hands, and got the information he wanted from the sentry's mouth.

At that moment, the herald said: "There may be a Wei army at any time in the front, the sergeants are in the front, and the laborers are in the back, all cheer up, and go to the front of the gourd mouth to form a formation on the spot, and wait for reinforcements." ”

"No"

The chief ordered a sentry to go backwards, and when he found the grain convoy in the rear, he beckoned them to form a formation together at the mouth of the gourd and cross the valley together.

Supposedly, the uncle's on-the-spot response is not bad, but there is a saying that 'the plan can't keep up with the change'.

After the grain convoy had gone on another mile, the small rocks and trees in the valley suddenly jumped, and the ground was faintly shaking.

Everyone has become frightened birds at the moment, and without waiting for the uncle's order, they have formed a formation with grain carts to protect themselves.

A moment later, a group of Wei cavalry appeared in front of the canyon.

The number of people is about one or two hundred.

After the two groups of people met each other, the Wei army suddenly became excited as if he had taken an aphrodisiac.

"Ah...... Kill......"

This time, without waiting for the orders of the leading Wei generals, they took out their longbows one after another, and several rounds of arrows rained over.

Although the bow and arrows were shot sparsely, this was a canyon, and the road was not wide, and everyone gathered together, and there were people on the left and right, and there was almost no tossing and turning.

The sergeant in front was fine, with a shield to block the arrows.

The labor in the rear can only be blocked by the body.

The two teams have not yet made contact, and dozens of people have been easily lost.

The chief had a splitting headache, and one less laborer would delay the delivery of grain for a moment.

If all the laborers are dead, I am afraid that these hundred or so sergeants will not be able to arrive at the former army camp as scheduled.

But at this time, the two sides are at war, and the other side is attacking and their own side is defending.

There is no other way but to hold the position.

He only hoped that the 100 sergeants in front of him could withstand the impact of the opponent's cavalry, and the opponent would choose to retreat if he could not attack for a long time.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of the Wei army had already collected their bows and arrows, and held long weapons in their hands, like stormy waves, to meet the Shu soldiers who were sticking to the place.

Before the opposing cavalry appeared, Cao Jun cleverly hid behind a rock on the side of the road diagonally behind, holding a shield in his hand to cover himself tightly.

Due to the slight height of the place, the battle ahead could barely be seen through the gaps between the rocks and shields.

I don't know who the leader of the Wei army is, holding a long axe, with the impact of the war horse, he overturned the row of sergeants in front of him.

The soldiers of the Shu army, who had high hopes for the uncle, did not resist for too long under the charge of the Wei cavalry, and after a few faces, they were broken through an entrance.

Seeing that the team in front was about to collapse, among the laborers transporting grain in the rear, they didn't know who it was, and shouted, "Run, if you don't run, you can only wait for death." ”

This shout became the only beacon in the grain transportation team at this time.

First, labor took the lead.

The second is that the soldiers of the Wei army have not yet encountered in the rear.

The entire grain transport team was in chaos all of a sudden.

Because Cao Jun was in the rear of the sergeant, he saw the situation more clearly than the others.

After the laborers and sergeants in the back fled, the only dozens of Shu soldiers left in front also gave up resistance and rushed towards the bushes on both sides of the bank like headless flies.

The Wei soldiers did not chase after them, they stayed in place and kept bending their bows and arrows, and continued to harvest the lives of the Shu soldiers.

The general trend has collapsed and is irreversible.

After Cao Jun looked at it again, he left his spear and armor in the crevice behind the rock, and carried a shield alone, and climbed into the bushes on both sides like other soldiers.

Seeing that the Wei army was all cavalry, the Shu soldiers did not catch up, and after running for a while, they stopped and watched through the high ground on both sides.

There was not a single one of the more than 100 laborers left.

As before, the Wei army overturned the grain cart and lit a few more fires, and after a while, fireworks broke out in the canyon.

There was also a Wei army laughing and looking for the Shu soldiers who were not yet dead to mend the knife, scrambling to cut off the head as their own meritorious service, and when the knife went down, it was a miserable scream.

The laughter, mixed with screams, came through the branches.

The soldiers of the Shu army, who hid in the bushes on the slopes on both sides and couldn't bear to leave, were distressed.

The Wei army destroyed their grain carts, cut off their future, and killed their robes.

Such is the brutality of the battlefield.

Cao Jun watched the whole process without saying a word, only to feel that the breathing in his chest was heavy, and the whole person became bad.

"It's over, it's all over, without the grain truck, we will become deserters, and if we are caught, we will inevitably die, woo woo......"

Beside Cao Jun, a young Shu soldier with a childish face was lying on the trunk of a tree and crying bitterly.

When the other soldiers heard this, they were also panicked in their hearts, like dogs that had lost their homes.

Cao Jun turned around and secretly counted the other soldiers around him, and there were still fifty or sixty people gathered at this time, all with painful expressions on their faces.

Cao Jun thought for a while, but from this piece of death, he got a glimpse of the breath of life.

The premise is to keep these soldiers in front of you.

"I don't think so, we still have a chance."

Cao Jun reminded loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone else.
