In the dark night, a few lights appeared in the north, and as the north wind blew, the sound of horses' hooves was gradually heard.

The north wind howled, muffling the sound of horses' hooves, and in the haze several knights were trotting through the reeds on horseback.

"Boss, it's scary to walk in this place!" A knight couldn't help but say, He looked left and right, and saw that all around him was pitch black, and the wind blew the reeds with a strange sound, like a ghost descending.

The chief in front scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, this is a piece of reeds, I'll hurry to the end to check, if there is no abnormality, send someone back to report General Xiahou!" ”

The knight who had just spoken had no choice but to shut up, and the crowd rode their horses and trotted to observe the situation in the reeds on the left and right, except for the whistling sound of the reeds blowing from the north wind, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

The more than ten miles long road that shuttled through the reeds, the knights quickened their speed and finally walked out of the reeds.

Seeing that there was nothing in front of him, Shi Chang immediately turned back to one of the knights and said, "You quickly return to report to General Xiahou, you are invincible!" ”

"No!" The knight agreed, and immediately turned around and galloped away in the direction in which he had come.

The leader waved to the remaining knights: "Spread out and investigate, and meet here after a cup of tea!" ”

"No!" The knights agreed, and each rode apart.

He stayed where he was, waited, took out a bag of dry food and began to eat.

After a while, there seemed to be a scream in the distance, and Shi Chang was taken aback, and immediately shouted, "Who? The third, the third, isn't it you? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot out of the reeds.

He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and was extremely sensitive to danger, so he turned over and dodged, and the sharp arrow grazed his arm, and if he did not dodge, he would have been pierced by the sharp arrow.

"Driving-" Shi Chang reacted, and quickly whipped the war horse with a horsewhip, the war horse neighed, and ran away, he controlled the war horse to turn around and run back, and he had to rush back to report that there was an ambush here, otherwise the army would be in danger!

"Whoosh!" Three more sharp arrows were fired in a row, and Shi Chang turned over again to dodge, the first two sharp arrows were dodged, but the third arrow did not shoot people, but horses.

The horse neighed, but continued to gallop, ran for some distance, and fell headlong.

Shi Chang's heart was cold, knowing that his limit had come, but the ants were still stealing their lives, let alone people? He quickly rolled on the ground to unload the impact force, jumped to his feet, drew his sword and walked out of the defensive alert.

At this time, more than a dozen sergeants came out of the reeds one after another, and these people did not say a word.

The leader pointed at Shi Chang with his weapon: "Surrender or die?" ”

Shi Chang broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and back, he also wanted to be a loyal person, but in the face of life and death, he couldn't do it, he hesitated for a moment and then let go of his hand, the weapon fell to the ground with a clang, and he slowly knelt down.

The leading sergeant waved his hand, and several soldiers stepped forward to tie up the chief.

Qin Feng was picking his teeth with a small branch, and a captain came over with a few people to report: "General, there is a group of enemy scouts who came to explore the way, and six people were shot and killed by our army, one was captured, and one ran back to report the news!" ”

Qin Feng shouted, "What? Let one go? So does our ambush still make sense? ”

"It's not to let go, the subordinates are waiting for them to finish the survey and send someone back to report the news, and the people who run back to report the news don't know that the people left behind have been solved by us!" The lieutenant hurriedly explained.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "This is about the same, your progress is not small, and you also know that let them send someone back to report the news before starting, not bad, promising!" ”

The captain was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "It's all cultivated by the general!" ”

Qin Feng asked, "Do you know what to do next?" ”

"If you know, the general will look at it!" The lieutenant hurriedly said, and immediately took his subordinates to escort the surrendered chief down.

Soon a number of sergeants came out of the reeds, all of whom had bitten a stick with their mouths so that they could not speak and make a sound, and each of them threw a bundle of dry reeds on the road.

In a few moments, more than two miles at the end of the road through the reeds were covered with dry reeds, one after the other, more than a man high.

At the northern entrance of the reeds, Xiahou Yuan had just arrived with the soldiers and horses, he was bold and careful, did not make any stops, and led the troops directly into the reeds.

The adjutant general caught up and asked, "General, why don't you wait for the sentry to come back and report before setting off?" Don't be in a hurry to get on the road for a while! ”

Xiahou Yuan said with a smile: "In such a cold weather, the soldiers of our army are complaining one by one, do you think that the bandits and soldiers that Liu Bei casually gathered can stand this kind of ghost weather, and they came all the way from Xuchang City to ambush our army?" ”

When the deputy general saw Xiahou Yuan say this, he had no choice but to stop being an actor.

Xiahou Yuan said it easily, but in fact, he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, this place was too dangerous for the march, and the reeds within a radius of dozens of miles could hide a million troops, if there was really an ambush, I was afraid that it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find out.

After a third of the army had entered the reeds, the faint and rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and it was the sentinel who had returned to report the news.

Xiahou Yuan stopped his horse: "Law-"

The army behind him also slowly stopped advancing, and the sentry cavalry rushed to the front to report: "General Qiyu, after investigation, there is no enemy in front!" ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, his heart relaxed, waved his hand, beat his horse and continued to move forward.

Although the temperature was very low, the soldiers walked briskly and hurried up, and many of them were sweating all the time, but it was not cold.

Walking in this pitch-black environment, it is like a huge beast in front of it opening its big mouth of a black hole, as if it wants to swallow half of a person, and people in such an environment can't help but feel a sense of fear psychologically.

After walking halfway, Xiahou Yuan felt that something was wrong, it seemed that there were some reeds on the ground, but this was not a big deal, maybe a farmer had cut down reeds here during the day, which was left on the road.

But as I walked, there were more and more reeds on the ground, and it seemed that a layer was deliberately laid.

"What's going on? How are there so many reeds on the ground? ”

The doubts in Xiahou Yuan's heart became heavier and heavier, and he became more and more worried.

At this time, there was a commotion in the rear of the group, and a large number of exclamations were heard.

"What happened?" Xiahou Yuan shouted.

When he looked back, the expression on his face froze on the spot, and he saw that the sky behind him was a fiery red, and a large amount of smoke and dust came from the air, and a heat wave hit.
