Chapter 278: Catch it yourself

Three hundred miles outside the city on the edge of the Jiangzhou Line in Western Xinjiang, a scout team of Wei was lying in ambush in the grass.

Half an hour ago, they found traces of the Chu army's scouts.

When the two armies clash, the first to face each other is often the scouts of both sides.

The confrontation between scouts and scouts is sometimes even more tragic than the scene of the two armies fighting on the battlefield!

Chen Laomao is the old backbone of the scouts, and he has been a scout for twenty years, and in another year or two, he should retire.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it anymore, but at his age, his physical strength and other physical qualities can no longer keep up with young people.

Although it was a little cruel, he was indeed eliminated

No one can escape the law of birth, old age, sickness and death.

"Old cat, look at this time, how many heads can we fish?" The newcomer Chen Gan and Chen Lao Mao are fellow villagers, but Chen Gan is a generation younger than Chen Lao Mao, so he should be called Uncle Chen Laomao.

But in this scout team, everyone is used to calling Chen Lao Mao Lao Mao, in Chen Lao Mao's words, this seems kind!

And Chen Lao Mao has always assumed the role of the big brother and takes care of these "younger brothers".

"It's good that you don't want to be fished out!" said Chen Laomao with a smile.

When the other scouts heard this, they burst into laughter.

Chen Gan is the youngest of them, and he has just passed nineteen after the New Year this year.

Chen Gan enlisted in the army at the age of fifteen, trained in Jiangzhou for a year, and then transferred to scouting, where he trained for more than three years before becoming an official scout.

This is the first serious mission he has carried out.

"Phew, you're all old, you can't do it, you must be inferior to me! Let's see how I win you in a while!" Chen Gan scolded.

The crowd burst into laughter again.

"Shhhh

Everyone immediately regained their composure, knowing that there was a situation.

Chen Laomao made another gesture, and the scout team had a total of ten people, divided into two groups of people, and went to the left and right sides.

Chen Lao Mao gestured to the five people opposite, and the five people suddenly stopped, and the cat squatted in the grass.

Chen Laomao led the four people behind him and pounced forward.

"Woohoo!

"His grandmother's bear, a wild boar!" said Old Cat Chen, picking up a small boar the size of a tanuki.

"Hahaha! I've found dinner tonight!" someone laughed.

"It's so small, it's not enough for me to stuff my teeth alone!" Chen Lao Mao shook his head and threw the little wild boar out casually, and after the little wild boar fell to the ground, he ran away with a smoke.

"The roast suckling pig is delicious, why did you put it away!" Chen Gan said.

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, when it grows up, maybe we can still meet it?" Chen Lao Mao said seriously.

"Phew!" Chen Gan snorted.

"Hahaha! You kid, you love to eat roast suckling pig when you are young, how many baby pigs in the village have been sucked up by you?" Chen Lao Mao laughed.

Chen Gan was about to reply to Old Cat Chen, when he was suddenly shocked, only to see a black shadow flying from behind Old Cat Chen!

"Old cat, be careful!" Chen Gan shouted, and the others also reminded Chen Lao Cat one after another.

After all, Chen Lao Mao has a wealth of experience, and when Chen Gan's expression changed, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

At the moment when Chen Gan and the others finished reminding him, Chen Lao Mao had already bent down.

Shout!

A feathered arrow shot past Old Cat Chen's back, passed through the scout crowd, and stuck it in a towering tree.

This dense forest is the junction of Chu and Wei, and it is also the place where the scouts of the two countries are most likely to clash.

Nature also seems to be conscious, on the border between countries, either set up a dense forest barrier, or place a prairie, or a snow-capped glacier.

Of course, it is also possible that countries have drawn national borders because of these geographical circumstances.

So, it may be that nature has made the choice for the country, or it may be that nature has made arrangements according to the location of the country.

"Prepare for war!" After Chen Laomao got up, he immediately gave an order, and at the same time [ www.boquge.xyz] looked for cover.

In less than three blinks of an eye, everyone on Old Cat Chen's side found a cover point and prepared the bow and crossbow at the same time.

"Do you see how many people there are on the other side?" shouted Chen Laomao.

"Before I could see it, I saw an arrow flying!"

"Special mother, dare to carry out a sneak attack!Chen Gan, go around and see the situation!" Chen Lao Mao shouted at Chen Gan.

"Shall I go?" Chen Gan was stunned for a moment.

"Aren't you kid always clamoring to get people's heads?"

"Will I coax?" Chen Gan snorted, and the cat slowly touched the front.

"Ah Tang, follow along. Old Cat Chen said to one of the scouts.

Ah Tang is also an "old man", extremely experienced, with him following Chen Gan, I don't think there will be any big problems.

Although Chen Gan was walking forward, he was also panicked in his heart, this was the first time that he could fight with the scout on the other side with real swords! How could he not be nervous?

But although the drum beat in his heart, Chen Gan still mustered up his courage and did not look back.

He is a Wei person, he is still a soldier of the Wei State, and he is even more of a scout!

These three identities are superimposed together, and he is not allowed to retreat half a step!

Ah Tang quietly followed behind Chen Gan, looking at Chen Gan's skillful latent movements, and nodded slightly.

Woohoo!

At this moment, two sounds of breaking the air sounded one after another, and you didn't have to think much to know that your position must have been exposed!

Chen Gan immediately rolled in the grass and changed his position, leaving two arrows in place.

Chen Gan hid behind a big tree, his breathing slightly short.

At this moment, Chen Gan felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and Chen Gan immediately pulled out the knife on his waist and stabbed it in the back.

"It's me!" Tang hurriedly shouted.

Chen Gan immediately retracted his strength and put the knife away.

"Why are you here?" asked Chen Gan.

"The old cat doesn't worry about you alone, let me come and have a look. Tang said.

Chen Gan pouted slightly, did Old Cat Chen really treat himself as a child?

However, while Chen Gan was unhappy in his heart, he was still slightly moved.

"Did you find the other party?" Tang asked with a smile.

"Not yet. Chen Gan shook his head.

"The other party has shot at you, and you can't spot them yet?Do you remember which direction the arrow came from?" Tang asked.

"Over there. Chen Gan pointed to the north.

"What about height and angle?" Tang continued.

"There. Chen Gan pointed again, and then saw that there seemed to be a vague shadow in the bushes opposite.

"I saw it!" Chen Gan was a little pleased.

"Observe more. Ah Tang nodded with satisfaction, this on-site teaching has achieved quite good results.

"But he's in such a good position that we can't cut it. Chen Gan said.

"If you can't get past it, you'll lure him out. Ah Tang said with a smile, and then ran out directly under Chen Gan's stunned expression.

"Little bunnies, you Grandpa Tang, I'm here!Catch me!Shoot me!" Tang waved vigorously over there.

In response to Ah Tang, there were more than a dozen feather arrows, and they were round after round.

"I can't hit it, I can't hit it! Hey, I just can't hit you Grandpa Tang and me!" Tang dodged left and right, avoiding all the feather arrows.

At this moment, the grass in the distance moved, and the three scouts of the Chu army came out, holding their standard war knives in their hands, which were going to move the knives face to face!

"Boy, there are two of me, one of you, keep an eye out for the person who puts the dark arrow behind!" Ah Tang said, and before Chen Gan, who was hiding behind the bushes, could react, he had already rushed forward.

Chen Gan was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly followed up and entangled the other party.

The sound of weapons clashing in the woods was accompanied by the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air.

After a stick of incense, the three scouts on the opposite side were ambushed, and Ah Tang was also hit by an arrow in his right shoulder, and Chen Gan was hit in the right forearm by the other party, but fortunately, the wound was not deep.

The feather arrows released from the back became more and more dense, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and there were hundreds of people when they stopped.

"Boy, retreat, I've met the big one!" Ah Tang immediately pulled Chen Gan back.

The number of scouts of the other party's size must be performing some special mission.

The two retreated to the side of the group, and someone immediately stepped forward to bandage their wounds.

"How's it going?" Old Cat Chen looked at Tang.

"The other party is afraid that there are hundreds of people, and they should be performing some special tasks. Tang said.

The number of a typical scout team will not exceed twenty people, and those assembled on a large scale like this must be shouldering some special task.

"Then we'll have to find a way to grab a few and ask. Old Cat Chen squinted.

"We're just a little bit of people, not the opponent of the other party, why don't you go back and pull people?" Tang asked.

"You go back with Chen Gan, and after calling someone, you will rest in the camp, and you won't need to use it. Chen Laomao said.

"Done!" Tang nodded, but he would definitely return.

"If you dare to come back, you will be deducted three months' salary!" As if he had seen through Ah Tang's thoughts, Chen Lao Mao "threatened".

Ah Tang suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face.

Subsequently, Ah Tang and Chen Gan returned to the barracks and told Liu Chu and Yan Zhenyue about the situation here.

"Go down and rest, and heal your wounds before you go up. Liu Chu said to the two.

Ah Tang and Chen Gan suddenly smiled bitterly, even if they risked being deducted from their salaries, they still had to go back.

But now that the general has given the order, they can only obediently obey.

"What do you think?" After Ah Tang and Chen Gan retreated, Liu Chu looked at Yan Zhenyue.

"So that thing is true, the state of Chu has infiltrated our imperial court?" Yan Zhenyue said.

Three days ago, news also came from Chang'an, saying that someone in the imperial court had been bribed by the Chu State, and the person who had been bribed planned to send some defense information to the Chu State to the Wei State.

For this reason, the state of Chu will definitely send people to meet that minister.

Therefore, Liu Chu speculated that these Chu army scouts who came in large numbers were to meet the minister.

"I'll take the pro-barracks and go and arrest it myself. Liu Chu thought for a while and said.

"It's fine. Yan Zhenyue nodded and did not object.
