Silent valleys, mountain streams tinkling and singing. Groups of monkeys scurried between the branches, and they looked terrified. Because in the middle of the valley there is a procession, and the big Chinese character flag with black characters on a red background is hanging on the flagpole. Even the walking soldiers didn't seem to have any energy.

The leading generals kept scolding the procrastinating soldiers, but it was still difficult to ensure a neat formation.

Wei Qing never thought that the late autumn in Jiangnan would be so wet and cold. There seemed to be water droplets in the air, and a trace of cold air kept drilling into the pores of the body.

The late autumn in the north is overbearing, and the late autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is lingering. No matter what you do, you can't seem to shake off the cold that goes deep into your bone marrow.

"General, rest and let the brethren build a fire. It was also too cold, and the brothers were tired. In this way, the team will not be able to lead well. The captain came to Wei Qingma with a sad face.

"No, there are two mountains and a ditch here. Rest here, if someone is ambushed, it will be a death. Out of this valley, let you rest. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up. I was sweating, but my body was warmer. Wei Qing resolutely disagreed with this stupid idea, and dared to rest in such a dead place. Unless the general leading the team is crazy, the general is an idiot.

"But General, this valley stretches for twenty miles. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out even if the sun sets! The lieutenant was shocked, and he asked the guide. The mountains are not high, but the woods are really dense. The stretching valley stretched for more than ten miles, and in the morning, at most a third of the way was walked. By sunset, you can't get out at all.

"Then you must not camp here, order to speed up and get out of the valley before camping." Wei Qing looked left and right, and the woods on this mountain were dense. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to cut a road. It is simply impossible to occupy the hill and camp.

The lieutenant was helpless. Just wait to drive away the weary soldiers as if they were animals.

High on the hill, Ou Zhenming lay in ambush in the grass to observe the marching team below.

He had been here for five or six days, and the soldiers did not dare to make a fire. endured the bone-chilling cold, just to eliminate this Han army here. Now the Han army has finally arrived, as long as they spend the night in the mountains. Then this valley will be their burial place.

Jiangnan not only has a water network, but also a mountain range like Taimu Mountain. Ou Zhenming was born and raised here. Know the terrain well. This valley is the only way to enter Donou, as long as you get stuck here. If you want to enter Dongou, you can only take a boat to detour the Yangtze River and land at Poyang Lake.

He had a great appetite, although he only had more than 10,000 soldiers under his command. However, his goal was to annihilate the 8,000 Han army, and the information knew in advance. The person who led the team was the brother-in-law of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, as long as he caught this person, he was not afraid that the emperor of the Han Dynasty would not bow his head. Annexing Minyue is as easy as probing for something.

"General, these Han troops are so tired. The general of the Han army urged the march again, and it seemed that he was going to rush out of the valley before sunset. Let's do it, or the boiled duck will fly away. ”

"Rest assured. They can't get out. These Han troops are so tired, it is only noon now. They hadn't even reached half the distance, and it was impossible for them to get out of the valley. Let the brethren rest assured, and wait a few days for these hours.

As soon as the sun sets, we will attack. Under the night, they don't know how many people and horses are in ambush, and there will definitely be chaos. When the time comes, let's take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and we are not afraid of not defeating the Han army. ”

Ou Zhenming made up his mind. Be sure to attack after falling behind. Wei Qing became more and more frightened as he walked, and the valley seemed to be getting narrower and narrower. It seemed that the mountains on both sides would come down at any moment and bury them. The captain said that he would never go out before sunset. If you are ambushed here, you will definitely attack at night.

"Stop moving." The ominous premonition made Wei Qing feel that he had to be cautious, although this battle was best defeated according to Yan Yansuke. But in Wei Qing's bones, he still hopes to win the battle.

"General, but let the brethren rest?" Hearing the news of the halt of the advance, the captain was overjoyed. The march began early in the morning. It has been more than two hours in a row. The team was already sleepy, and the annoying cold was like maggots on the tarsal bones. The sweat that had just come out soon turned into icy water. The clothes seemed to be perpetually wet, and even a bonfire could not be removed.

"Rest, you dare to rest in such a place. The back team becomes the front team. Let's go back. ”

Since he can't go out, Wei Qing plans not to take this road. Going back the way he came, he made up his mind. Although these soldiers are a bit of a bastard, they can't just let them die in vain. In Donghu, I am already sorry for those brothers, and I will never be able to kill so many people here. Otherwise, the condemnation of conscience alone will keep him awake at night.

"Go back, General, we've come so far. It's not for nothing to go back! The captain's eyes widened, not knowing what kind of trouble this emperor's brother-in-law and favorite minister was going to do.

"Since you said you couldn't get out, then simply go back. It's better than annihilating the whole army here, and telling everyone to be on guard. If anyone is ambushed here and ready to attack us, we will be exposed if we go back. ”

Wei Qing remembered what Yun Xiao had said, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Today is to do the opposite, with the team temporarily retreated. In any case, it is possible to get out of the valley before dark. Back to yesterday's campsite, and in the valley waiting for the guy who attacked him. In order to avoid being discovered, he can only eat cold food and dare not make a fire. On this cold day, see how many days they can last.

As long as he observed outside the valley for two days, Wei Qing didn't believe that these guys didn't show their feet.

"No!" The lieutenant replied weakly, following such a capricious young general. He can toss as much as he likes, anyway, the world belongs to the emperor. And the emperor is his brother-in-law, and it is all his family's business.

The long line suddenly changed from the back team to the front team, which surprised Ou Zhenming.

"General, how are they going back. What kind of ambush is not to ......"

"Shut up, General Ben is not blind yet." Ou Zhenming viciously reprimanded the captain, this Han army general is not simple. He knew his hard work in the mountains, and estimated that this retreat would be permanent at Taniguchi.

The mountains are cold and cold, and they dare not make a fire to eat hot food. His own team certainly won't last long, and his team is the opposite. Staying in a tent where you can have a fire and eat hot food. What should I do if I wait for a change? Should we abandon the trap we have set up now, or should we abandon the favorable terrain and choose another ambush position? Ou Zhenming was in a dilemma for a while.

Wei Qing took off the bow and arrow from his horse, and stared nervously at the mountain tops on both sides. His actions must have been unexpected, and the people who were in ambush in front wanted to attack him. There will inevitably be action, and the monkeys in the mountains are still frolicking. There are still birds and finches flying in the sky, and it seems that everything is so harmonious and natural. A qiē seems to show that their worries are unnecessary!

I hope it's redundant, Wei Qing thought.

Suddenly, the monkeys in the mountains and forests scurried as if they had blown up the camp. The birds that had landed rose into the sky, chirping as if they had seen a ghost.

"Formation!" Wei Qing, whose nerves were already tense to the extreme, immediately roared, and the whole team paused. The first to react were the captains of the Feather Forest, who scolded and lashed. His soldiers raised their shields and unsheathed their bows and swords ready for a possible attack.

The ranks on the road were chaotic for a while, and the whole team completed the transition from marching to preparing for battle. The air above the team seemed to be condensed, and everyone looked at the dark green forest in horror. As long as anything breaks out, it will be shot mercilessly into a hedgehog.

Wei Qing completely inherited Yun Xiao's tactics, and the proportion of bows and crossbows in his team was quite amazing. Even those halberd soldiers were issued with a three-stone hunting bow. Most of the Jiangnan soldiers are bamboo armor, and even the three-stone bow can exert great power.

Wait a long time, don't talk about people. Not even a rat came out of the woods, facing an army armed to the teeth. Not to mention tigers and other fierce beasts, even ghosts don't want to come here to die.

The soldiers began to complain, first forcing the march to hurry. Later, he said that he had returned the same way and now created a tense atmosphere. As if there were really people hiding in ambush in the mountains, this was the Han army. Whose bandits ate the courage of the ambitious leopard and dared to rob the army.

"General, what do you see?" The lieutenant couldn't help but ask suspiciously. I was in a hot sweat just now, and now I stopped and suddenly shivered with cold. Even if you kill him now, you won't say anything about taking a break. Resting in such weather is completely uncomfortable for yourself.

"You don't see the monkeys frightened, and the birds fly and don't dare to fall. There will be ambushes in the mountains on both sides, tell the soldiers. Return the way you came, bow and knife unsheathed ready to fight. ”

Wei Qing was sure that there was definitely an ambush on the mountain. And to do it to yourself, that intense uneasiness became more and more frightening. Wei Qing would rather believe in his feelings than gamble with 8,000 lives.

Ou Zhenming stood on the mountain, gritting his teeth with hatred but there was nothing he could do. Just now, he really wanted to kill the Han army in front of him, but as soon as his team moved, a large flock of birds flew away. Even the monkeys in the trees scattered and fled.

Those Han troops were even transformed into battle formations, if they forcibly attacked. The surprise attack becomes a positional war, and the opponent concentrates itself and disperses, which is more disadvantageous to his own side.

The helpless Ou Zhenming gave the order to stop the attack, and it seemed that his opponent was really not simple. It seems that if you want to win, you have to work hard.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the weary soldiers, and they returned to the camp where they had set out early in the morning. Almost every soldier looked at Wei Qing with a bad look, and they didn't trust this young general who relied on his sister to take the throne at first. Now there is even more distrust, and a climate of discontent is quietly spreading in the camp. (To be continued......)
