After a while, the men and horses disappeared into the woods one after another.

All the soldiers on horseback also let go of their horses like Mu Weiyang.

When the soldiers were hiding in the woods one after another, Mu Weiyang had already observed the surrounding landforms, and said to the shopkeeper: "Let everyone disperse in groups of three to four, hide in the woods, pay attention to the green fruits under your feet, and use the green fruits to convey information." ”

Mu Weiyang said and handed the green unripe fruit that had just been picked from the tree in his hand to the shopkeeper, only to see that the green fruit was cut open by Mu Weiyang, just enough to be stuffed into a note, if you don't look carefully, it is indeed not easy to find in this wood.

This kind of green fruit is generally not ripe yet, and if someone doesn't pick it deliberately, it won't fall to the ground, so it has become Mu Weiyang's best communication tool at this moment. This is also thanks to the inspiration Mu Weiyang got when he left the Qiangzheng Royal City and looked for wild fruits on the official road to satisfy his hunger.

These green fruits only need to be cast to the desired position by the shopkeeper with internal force when needed, or directly command others to come to the fixed position and pick them up, so that the news and orders can be effectively disseminated.

After Mu Weiyang finished talking about the key points, the shopkeeper took the green fruit and the note that had been stuffed in the green fruit and explained it to the more than forty soldiers who came with him. After receiving the order, the soldiers of the government automatically dispersed into the woods.

"Qi Lie brought us one to break it into pieces, and we also returned one to them, and the tripping rope was ready, so we scrapped their horses first." After the shopkeeper returned to Mu Weiyang's side, Mu Weiyang ordered.

The shopkeeper nodded, and he had already explained the previous preparations.

"Little master, after they get off the horse, they will face a situation of hand-to-hand combat, what should they do then?"

"According to what I said, try to avoid head-to-head confrontation, in the woods, we are few people, and it is difficult to eliminate the scattered targets in one fell swoop, and when it is dusk, it is our chance." Mu Weiyang said, and climbed to a tree not far away with the shopkeeper, on that tree, they could not only see the appearance of the entrance of the woods, but also avoid the danger of being discovered in the first place.

As Qi Lie's encirclement and suppression army approached, Mu Weiyang raised his hand to prepare, and the shopkeeper also put the bamboo whistle in his arms into his mouth.

40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter......

"Ready, pull!"

Mu Weiyang gave an order, and the shopkeeper also sounded the bamboo whistle for the first time.

In an instant, the cavalry running at the forefront was tripped by the rope prepared by Mu Weiyang's soldiers.

With the sound of bones breaking, the cavalry behind the group of cavalry also crashed directly into it because of the lack of brakes, and the two teams fell into one piece at the entrance to the woods.

With a successful blow, Mu Weiyang and Dian Xiaoer quickly shifted their positions to the second ambush position, and the two teams of people who were at the entrance of the forest before also quickly left their positions after the successful blow and hid into the other side of the woods.

At the other end of the forest, the government soldiers had already followed Mu Weiyang's second order to collect snakes, insects, rats and ants around the area, and to find out if there were catkins, hairballs and other fruits and objects.

All the cloth bags the size of a human head, without tying any knots, only use a thin rope to gently tie the four corners of the cloth bag, hang it on the branches in the forest, and as long as a team passes by, the thin rope is directly torn off.

Although these things are not fatal, they are disgusting, especially falling into the collar and other places, which can affect the morale of the marching troops.

If it was before, Qi Lie would have chuckled when he saw Mu Weiyang using this method, shook his head and said, "Woman." ”

But at this moment, in the case of an absolutely weak number of people like Mu Weiyang, Mu Weiyang doesn't care whether the means are "big husbands" or not, as long as they are effective.

In this way, under Mu Weiyang's arrangement, the shopkeeper issued a number of instructions in succession, commanding the government soldiers hidden in the woods, and carried out small-scale raids and disturbances again and again, each time eating away at more than a dozen or twenty pursuers, not arrogant or impatient, step by step.

Since they only had one or two groups of men in each sortie, that is, the size of three to six people, the occasional few failures and ambushes did not have much effect.

Finally, at dusk, there were only thirty people left in Mu Weiyang's hands. At the same time, Qi Lie's pursuers were also highly nervous because they were guarding against Mu Weiyang's attacks all the time.

"Little Lord, it's dusk."

Mu Weiyang nodded, many people think that people's senses are duller at night than during the day, but in fact, the twilight time when day and night alternate is the dullest time for people's senses.

Prior to this, Mu Weiyang had very rhythmically reduced the frequency of the attack from three times a quarter to once every two quarters, and then to three times every three quarters, until now it was three times in half an hour.

"Except for the four people who attacked next time, the others retreated along the waterway, being careful not to leave traces on the way." Mu Weiyang ordered.

After Mu Weiyang gave the order, he personally explained how the four people left behind dealt with various emergencies, and then walked towards the stream with the shopkeeper.

When they came to the river, the remaining twenty-five people were standing by the river waiting for Mu Weiyang's arrival.

Mu Weiyang looked at them and didn't speak, she knew that if she didn't leave, the people here wouldn't leave.

So she stepped into the water and sat on the simple raft that the government soldiers had prepared, and then several government soldiers also stepped into the water, holding the only simple raft, and swimming down the waterway all the way.

About three minutes later, the team of government soldiers led by Mu Weiyang had already arrived at their destination, and soon after they went ashore, the government soldiers led by Dian Xiaoer also appeared in front of them.

After that, they all arrived one after another.

"Little master, let's go first, the brothers in the back will follow by themselves." The shopkeeper said, twisting the hem of his clothes with his hand.

"Wait." Mu Weiyang looked at the upstream of the river and said.

"Little master, let's go, we can't wait." Shopkeeper said.

Mu Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the expression of the shopkeeper with his head down, he seemed to understand something, and asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"Little Lord, I said, no matter what, I will send you across this plain safely, although the little Lord's way is feasible, but in order to buy us more time, we still need someone to stay there to cover." The shopkeeper said, raised his head, and added, "Those government soldiers are all willing to stay. ”

Mu Weiyang looked at the expression of the shopkeeper, looked at the remaining twenty or so soldiers standing behind the shopkeeper, smiled bitterly, and then turned his head.

"Forward." Mu Weiyang, who turned his back, finally said these two words.
