The more mountains there are, the more jungles are everywhere.

This time, the Qin army took the "big road" between Minyue and Dongou, and the road conditions were equally complicated and difficult, which made the speed of the army's advance very slow.

The forward troops went south from Dongou and walked for more than 30 miles in a row, but they did not encounter an attack by the Vietnamese on the road. The surrounding mountains and forests are full of birdsong and insect chirping, and there doesn't seem to be any danger.

Such a scene made the leading Qin general not only not feel at ease, but his nerves were tense all the time.

This is the cunning of the Yue people.

They were a group of seasoned hunters who would not attack the Qin army as soon as they entered the jungle.

The Yue people waited silently, waiting for the Qin people to enter the depths of the jungle, and when the Qin army relaxed their vigilance and was physically and mentally exhausted, the Yue people would launch a deadly attack.

The southward movement of the Qin army was stepping into the trap laid by the Yue people, and the further they went, the more dangerous it became.

And in addition to the Yue people, there are other dangerous things in the jungle.

For example, snakes.

Qin pawn Liu Bang waved the sickle in his hand and cut off a snake that was in the way, splitting it in half on the spot.

Looking at the body of the snake wriggling in pain on the ground, Liu Bang muttered: "This is really scary, there are still snakes crawling out in winter." In my hometown, these things would have been drilled into the hole. ”

"Snakes?"

A sallow Qin pawn walked over, saw the snake body on the ground, and said with a light in his eyes: "This thing is delicious." Liu Bang, pick up this snake, how about we stew it and eat it at night? ”

In an era of low productivity, anything that can be eaten is in the recipe of the person.

Liu Bang frowned and said, "Huang Mu, you see how mad this snake is, there is a protruding thing on both sides of the neck, and there are black spots on each side, like human eyes." I've never seen this snake before, maybe it's poisonous, so don't eat it. ”

Huang Mu does not have a surname.

The reason why he is called Huangmu is because when he was born, there were some yellow wood piled up in front of his house, so he was named Huangmu.

Born in poverty, he naturally won't let go of snakes, a delicious meat.

Huang Mu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my eldest father said that a poisonous snake's head is triangular, and a snake with a round head is definitely non-poisonous." Look at how round this snake's head is, and the strange things on both sides of his neck are also round, so they must not be poisonous. ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Liu Bang to answer, so he stepped forward and picked up the snake tail.

Turning his head, he saw that there was an old man behind the snake's head, and he felt that it was a pity to throw it away, so he reached out to grab the snake's head.

Unexpectedly, the snake that was cut in half from it was still alive, and the snake's head opened its mouth to bite the back of Huang Mu's hand.

Liu Bang's eyelids jumped and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Huang Mu grinned, "It's okay, this snake's head is round." It's not poisonous, my father said. ”

Liu Bang nodded suspiciously.

He didn't panic when he saw that Huang Mu was bitten, and said that this snake was not venomous, and it should be true.

"It's not long before the sun sets, and it looks like you'll be able to drink delicious snake soup in a while. There seem to be a lot of snakes in Minyue, and they will all have mouths in the future. ”

Liu Bang licked his lips.

At this time, the captain urged the two to follow the team.

Liu Bang didn't say anything more, Huang Mu packed the snake body, and waited until it was time to camp for a while.

At the same time, it was on a mountain ridge in front of the Qin army.

Mo Tazhu, the leader of the hornets of South Vietnam, stood on a stone with his hands in his hands.

He looked at the black army revealed in the mountains and forests in the distance, and sneered: "It's almost, when the sky gets dark, we will take down this Qin army that opened the way and give the Qin people a big surprise." ”

……

Near dusk, the Qin army, which had opened the way, found a relatively open flat land and prepared to camp.

Liu Bang's Shiwu was ordered to go to the nearby logging area.

"Yellow wood, your face is black. If you can't walk, just sit down and rest for a while. ”

Liu Bang looked at Huang Mu's face darkened, and his sluggish hands and feet were a little worried.

Several robes around him were frightened and dissuaded.

Huang Mu shook his black face and said, "It's okay, the round-headed snake is not poisonous, my eldest father said." ”

After saying that, he stubbornly wanted to go to the nearby forest to cut wood.

After taking a total of five steps, the man fell straight down.

"Hiss......"

The robes were startled.

Liu Bang smacked his lips and muttered, "I'll just say it's poisonous, he doesn't ...... yet"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, because Liu Bang saw a pair of eyes staring at him in the opposite forest from the direction where Huang Mu fell.

"We haven't done it yet, why did the Qin people fall?"

The Yue people in ambush in the forest were taken aback.

They were going to kill these Qin soldiers who went into the forest to cut wood first, and then take advantage of the situation to surprise the Qin army not far away, but before they could attack, the other party fell first.

And immediately after, behind the fallen Qin people, a bearded Qin pawn reacted extremely quickly.

He turned around and ran, shouting, "Enemy attack!" The Yue barbarians are ambushing here! ”

Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, the leader of the Yue people no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Yue warriors, attack!" ”

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the sharp whistle, there were countless Yue people shouting and killing.

They jumped out of the forest and rushed towards the Qin people in front of them.

However, because of the scream of Qin soldier Liu Bang, the Qin army, who was already on guard, immediately activated the emergency plan.

The sound of the trumpet sounded in the forest.

The Qin soldiers of each hundred and tun were arranged according to the formation that had been practiced dozens of times before, and quickly found their positions and stood up.

Bows, swords and shields, short knives, halberds......

All branches of the armed forces stood in positions and formed small defensive formations to cooperate with each other.

The Yue people attacked very suddenly, except that Liu Bang's direction reacted because of his vigilance. The Qin pawns who went out to cut wood in several other directions did not have such good luck, and dozens of people were killed in the first wave of Yue raids.

The number of the Qin Guoxing army that fought on the front road was about 1,000 people, and there were still more than 900 people left when they formed a defensive state.

In addition to the 2,000 warriors of the South Vietnamese Hornet, there were more than 3,000 Minyue people, and the total number was five times that of Qin's Xing army.

In addition, the Qin army came from afar, and everyone was tired and weak. The Yue people are waiting for work with ease and high morale.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how good the equipment of the Qin army was, they would be defeated by the Yue people.

"Five against one, again in this dense forest, we have won."

Mo Tazhu, the leader of the Yue people, grinned.

This thousand-strong Qin army was only the vanguard responsible for opening the way in front, and behind them there were more Qin heel troops. However, it was difficult for the two armies to contact each other in the dense forest, and the forward was attacked, and the Qin army behind did not know at all, let alone rescue.

So he was able to eat this thousand-man Qin army very calmly.

"These weapons of the Qin army are very good, kill them all, their weapons will make the warriors of my hornet department even stronger."

The smile on Motazhu's face quickly froze.

Because he saw that there was a sharp voice in the Qin army array that was attacked by the Yue people.

Several flames of light rose into the sky and bloomed in the dim sky, forming a brilliant brilliance.

Motta was stunned.

"What is this?"

……

"Cloud Piercing Arrow!"

Shi Chang Zhang screamed, and Xiang Ji looked up into the distance, and really saw a flame of light blooming in the sky in the distance.

Cloud-piercing arrows.

It is said to be a herald item made by General Zhao Tuo based on the public loss fragment.

This thing has no power, but when it encounters flames, it can rise into the sky and bloom in the air, which is very eye-catching.

It may not be very clear during the day, but if it is at dusk or at night, it can be seen clearly even if it is more than ten miles away.

A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other.

These are the exact words of the general.

In order to enhance the communication of various departments during the expedition to Vietnam, to avoid being ambushed by the Vietnamese. Each Qin army unit was equipped with a different type of cloud-piercing arrow, so that it could summon friendly support in time when attacked by the Yue.

At the same time, in order to be able to see the call of the friendly army's cloud-piercing arrows, the camping offices of the Qin troops in each department will also try to choose an open area, and at the same time, there are special people responsible for paying attention to these signals at all times.

Now the appearance of the cloud-piercing arrow is a sign that the Xingjun army in front has encountered an attack by the Vietnamese.

"The more people do it!"

Xiang Ji was overjoyed.

He shouted, "Chief, report to the authorities." We're going to support the robes! ”

"Kill the Yue people and make military merits!"

"I, Liu Yu, want to be promoted!"
