In the deep mountains and old forests in the dead of night, there is a breathtaking miasma everywhere, in addition, there are often mosquitoes, snakes and ants infested, so that Gan Ning and others can not rest normally.

At this moment, it was already the third watch, and since Gan Ning and the others left the barracks, in order to avoid being caught up by Zhang Liao, they took the army into the mountains and forests, all the way over the mountains and mountains, and went deep into the mountains and forests.

However, Gan Ning and others have not stopped since they stopped here, because it is located in the south and the climate is relatively warm, the north at this time has already been snowy, but here, it is warm as spring and the climate is pleasant.

The smell of rotting corpses of birds and beasts was everywhere in the mountains and forests, and all kinds of poisonous insects roamed at will, and in the quiet night, one or two screams would always be heard from time to time, which made the whole army panic.

Because it was a secret infiltration and a lone army, Gan Ning strictly ordered the army to prohibit fire, so as not to attract the attention of the enemy and lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

However, what Gan Ning never expected was that the environment here was so bad, the miasma was pervasive, and poisonous insects were infested everywhere, so that the army's morale was no longer very stable, and they didn't dare to sleep, and they were overworked, which was really a dilemma.

"Ahh

Another terrible cry suddenly sounded, causing a commotion in the crowd.

"Snakes! There are big snakes! ”

《≌

When Gan Ning heard these cries, he was about to take a look, but he heard a rustling sound in his ears, and the grass was constantly wriggling, reflecting the cold moonlight, which he could see clearly. The grass moved in all directions. And the rustle is getting closer.

"Didi......"

Suddenly. I don't know where there was a crisp sound of grass flute, the rhythm was fast and urgent, and in the blink of an eye, a long snake sprang out of the grass, opened its bloody mouth, spit out a crimson letter, and pounced towards Gan Ning.

"Huh!"

Gan Ning pulled out the steel knife tied to his waist and slashed at the long snake with a single sword. The long snake just hit Gan Ning's blade, and the sharp blade quickly slashed through the long snake's body, instantly splitting the long snake in half.

At this moment, countless snakes of all sizes in the grass rose into the air, all opened their bloody mouths, spit out letters, and pounced on Gan Ning and the others.

Gan Ning suddenly felt a tingling on his scalp, and as far as he could see, there were dense long snakes. Only then did he realize that he had entered a very dangerous place. The snakes will not attack people for no reason, and when the grass flute sounds, the snakes suddenly start attacking, which means that someone is manipulating these snakes in a vain attempt to attack the Han army.

Without thinking about it, Gan Ning waved the steel knife in his hand and slashed indiscriminately, and in front of him was the corpse of the snake that he had cut off, and at the same time, he shouted at the entire army: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

However, as soon as Gan Ning's voice fell, it was like a grain of sand sinking into the sea, and he couldn't even hear a little echo, and the screams one after another overshadowed the waves, converging together under this cold moonlit night, resounding throughout the mountains and forests.

For a time, countless snakes kept attacking the Han army, and the Han army hurriedly met the battle, but with little success, because the snake's body was small, it disappeared after running into the grass, and it was impossible to understand his trajectory at all. And a snake has just attacked, and a snake has pounced on it, which makes people unguardable, once it is entangled in the snake, then wait to be bitten by the snake.

As far as the eye can see, there are snakes everywhere, not to mention thousands, densely shuttling in the middle of the ranks of the Han army, and in just a moment's effort, the Han army was defeated, like a plate of scattered sand.

Fortunately, these snakes are not all poisonous snakes, otherwise, even if they are not bitten to death by snakes, they will be poisoned by snakes.

Gan Ning and the others fought hard, but there were more and more snakes, and in the huge mountain forest, there were screams everywhere, and they were endless......

An hour later, in the rebel camp in Ailao Mountain, Meng Huo was discussing with his subordinates how to deal with the Han army, suddenly, a person walked in from outside, came directly to Meng Shu's side, whispered a few words in Meng Shu's ear, Meng Huo's face suddenly bloomed with a smile, and then happily said to the people around him: "The good news just came, Gan Ning's department has been defeated by the snake formation, and all the Han army, including Gan Ning, has been wiped out!" ”

"Long live the King! Long live the King! ”

Almost everyone shouted out in unison to celebrate the exciting news.

But there was only one person who was not very happy, this person was King Mulu, he saw Meng Huo's happy face, his heart was not very comfortable, and he drank sullen wine by himself.

Meng Shu glanced at King Mulu, but didn't pay much attention to him, raised his wine glass, and shouted at everyone: "Come, let's celebrate this victory, except for one Gan Ning, then we should deal with Zhang Liao seriously in the next step." As long as I follow my plan, I will ensure that I can completely defeat the Han army and regain the lost territory in Nanzhong. ”

"Long live the King!" Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the festive good news.

……

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled the light on the earth, and in the camp of the Han army, after a series of events last night, the seemingly calm camp of the Han army was filled with the smell of gunpowder everywhere.

First of all, Zhang Liao sent someone to secretly send Ma Chao on the sickbed to Dianchi, and Pang De stayed behind to replace Ma Chao to continue to command the Liangzhou soldiers.

Then, Wen Ping was transferred from the Chinese army by Zhang Liao and switched positions with Wei Yan, who was in charge of the rear army, and Wei Yan became the general in charge of the Chinese army instead.

As for why Wen Ping was suddenly transferred out of the Chinese army, although outsiders secretly speculated in their hearts, Zhang Liao did not reveal the slightest news.

I'm afraid that only the parties concerned will understand the reason.

At the same time, outside the Han army camp, a team of 5,000 people was assembled, all of them traveled lightly, each with three days' rations, and waited there quietly, waiting for Xu Huang's review.

These 5,000 people are Liangzhou soldiers borrowed by Xu Huang from Ma Chao, all of them are strong and strong, they can fight habitually, and they are the elite of Ma Chao's army, but now they are temporarily under Xu Huang's command.

Xu Huang wore an iron helmet and iron armor, riding on a tall horse, and under the iron helmet was a pair of bright eyes, like an eagle falcon, his sharp eyes swept over the five thousand borrowed Liangzhou soldiers, but he secretly thought in his heart: "I don't know if these five thousand Liangzhou soldiers will play a role in my hands......"
