Chapter 865: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High Murderous Night
At the same time as the news spread north, the news about the Battle of Fanyang also spread to the south, especially the witnesses and defeated soldiers, which were collected by all parties, and the news began to spread in Jizhou, and in one day, it spread to all parties.
But what spreads faster than the news is the speed of the march!
In the day when the news fermented, Fanyang County, which had already experienced a big war, became more and more solemn.
On both sides of the Juma River, which runs through Fanyang County, there are more and more soldiers walking, and they are becoming more and more dense.
Yu County, located on the west bank of the Juma River, crosses the river and travels less than half a day to reach Youzhou City, which is the capital of Fanyang County.
At this time, the general Wang Jun and others were all in Youzhou City, so this county is actually a barrier in Youzhou, and there are many soldiers stationed in Youzhou.
It's just that these soldiers are not trained in the army, but the local garrison, which is quite loose in military discipline.
Especially on both sides of the river, although there are soldiers patrolling back and forth, but there is no order and no cooperation between each other, often by many omissions, and even a few places, because the soldiers have been patrolling for a day, they have long been tired and full of complaints, so they gather in one place, light a bonfire, start desertion, and then spit bitter water on each other.
"I've been really busy in the past two days, don't you know, those team leaders are really urging their lives, they are in the house to enjoy the shade, but they push us out, this one goes to check, it will be inspected for a day, who can stand it!"
"But isn't it, my mother-in-law complained to me, saying that she had been a widow for the past two days, and I wondered if I was looking for an opportunity to report a symptom or something, and go back to recuperate for two days."
"It's the same, I miss my son, I was called over a few days ago, and I thought that I would change the guard after a day or two of patrols, who would have thought, it was actually getting longer and longer day by day, and I was not allowed to return, you said that we are garrisons, and not the foreign army that went to fight, as for it!"
……
A few people complained in the night, originally dissatisfied in their hearts, but after saying a few words, they were also a lot more comfortable, and they were all a little satisfied, so they said some ordinary words.
However, as he spoke, one of them suddenly got up and walked to a more remote corner not far away, but he wanted to relieve himself, but this person may be tired from a day, coupled with the black light, he couldn't see the ground clearly, and one was careless, this foot was broken, and the whole person instantly lost his balance, and he fell to the grass next to him with an exclamation.
It happened that this was a slope, and when he fell, he immediately rolled down, and the sound was very noisy.
The other few people sitting next to the campfire, when they first heard the exclamation, their expressions immediately changed drastically, and when one or two people approached and figured out the situation, they said this, and the others burst into laughter, and the air was suddenly filled with joy.
But before a few people could laugh at it, a cry suddenly came from the bottom of the slope again, but this time it was much more poignant, a little more panicked and miserable, and now it finally made the others pay attention.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"What do you mean!?"
A few words of inquiry blurted out, and everyone got up one after another, moving closer to the place where the sound came from, but before a few people arrived at the place, in the dark night, several black shadows quickly approached, and with a few cold flashes, these soldiers covered their necks one by one, their faces were full of horror and disbelief, and then they fell to the ground, convulsions, and struggled a few times, and then they all fell silent.
The bodies of these people were then lifted up by several men in night clothes, and then they were still covered in the thick grass.
Then, the men ran over again, extinguished the bonfire, gathered together, and whispered to each other.
"Since they are exposed, these people will be removed, but they belong to different card points, and they all have patrol exchanges, and after a long time, they will inevitably be exposed."
"Yes, and even this place is not safe, when the patrol of the garrison comes, it is found that it is dark here, and there is no light, it must be suspicious, but the fire is left, and there is no one around the fire, which makes people even more suspicious."
"The inspection of the garrison is actually not a local garrison, but a soldier who has followed Wang Jun's soldiers and horses to attack Pingzhou, which cannot be underestimated, since it is now exposed, return to the captain as soon as possible and let him decide!"
After a few words, this group of people did not stop, quickly dealt with the traces around them, and then left quickly with swift steps, but even if they walked quickly, they could clearly see the rules inside, which were obviously battlefield scouts and spies who had been specially trained.
As soon as a few people went like this, the place was restored to peace, but it was pitch black, and there was a little more gloomy.
After about a cup of tea, the peace was broken, and with the sound of footsteps, a group of well-armored soldiers came over with torches, led by a man with a helmet and a cloak behind him, and at first glance he was not an ordinary soldier leader.
The man in the cloak walked here, looked at the darkness, and immediately frowned, and asked, "Have you ever sent someone to handle here?" Could it be that there are deserters again, I have gone all the way, either getting together to be lazy, or sparsely fleeing, but this piece has come to this point, and I haven't even seen a single figure, what the hell is going on? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several of his attendants went to investigate.
"Back to the team leader, someone has lit a fire here!" One of them found the extinguished fire, and although it had been done simply to cover up the traces, the time was pressing, and the night walkers could not do it all after all, leaving traces.
"Huh?" The man in the cloak realized that the situation was not quite right, "Search the surroundings for me, immediately!" ”
"No!"
The servants all agreed, and quickly dispersed, and soon someone exclaimed: "There is a corpse here!" ”
"Bring it here!" The face of the man in the cloak, under the light of the torch, looked cloudy, and when he saw the corpse that was carried over, he squatted down, and swept his gaze, this gloomy face seemed to be able to drip water, "It's all fatal with a knife!" It's definitely not an ordinary person, I'm afraid it takes someone who has been specially trained to do it! This must be an enemy attack! Take a corpse with you and report to me! ”
Without waiting for him, he trotted up as he took a step.
The others lifted a corpse and followed, and the small group of men and horses walked faster and faster, along the Juma River, passing through a dark place, and in the distance they saw the fire in the city ahead.
"Come on, cheer me up......" The man in the cloak was still about to speak, and suddenly!
Sou!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow pierced directly into his temple, splashing red and white things!
This man didn't even remember to scream, he just fell to the ground!
The soldiers behind were frightened, at a loss, and pulled out their swords one after another, but before they could stand firmly, figures pounced out from the grass next to them!
In an instant, the shouting of killing shook the sky!
