It was almost noon, and it wasn't cold, even in the wilderness.

Dong Ce casually pointed to a family member: "Go and give an order to Shi Jin, all the infantry troops, rest in place in the open space by the river, bury the pot to cook, and gather after an hour." ”

"Yes!"

The family Ding took the order and left, and Dong Ce arrived again: "Dong Yongzhen, you take two people to find out if there is an ambush in the village." ”

"Yes!"

Dong Yongzhen took three people to beat horses and went to the village.

From the morning to the present almost twelve o'clock at noon, the time to walk is not short, and the distance is quite long, but when they were in the rock fort, the daily fish and meat are big, and the training is extremely hard, this foundation is really good. It's not that tired and dying at this time, but I need to take a break anyway.

After receiving the order, everyone was happy, and according to their respective killer teams, each killer team naturally gathered into a pile and found a place to sit down.

The First Killer team found a good place, right by the river, three or two steps away, and there was a small dirt bag next to it, which was not high, that is, three or four feet high, but it was enough to block the wind blowing from the north, so it would be much easier to start a fire.

Jiang Laosan and Yang Er were already as pale as the earth, and when they arrived at the ground, they saw that no one else was looking this way, so the two of them hurriedly supported themselves and slowly lay on the ground. After a while, Fang Cai's face looked a little better, not as earthy as he had just been.

The two of them didn't make anything special at all, but they had followed for such a long distance, and the wound had already cracked open again, and the white cloth that wrapped the wound had turned red, almost soaked with blood.

There were bursts of sharp pain from the wounds on their bodies, which made them miserable, and there was an unknown amount of blood on their bodies, sticky and whirring, and they were uncomfortable to death.

But after all, both of them are people who have endured hardships, and those who are more bitter than this have also experienced it, and when they were homeless people, they had more difficult days than this, didn't they endure it?

But the discomfort was inevitable, and because of the blood loss, both of them became quite weak and out of breath, and now they were lying on the ground, only to feel that their eyes were black, and they couldn't sleep immediately.

Wang Tugen sat down and took a breath, then took the pot to the river to scoop water, and Zheng Fakui beckoned someone to dig a pit and prepare for cooking.

After a while, a burst of aroma wafted over the makeshift camp.

The broth was cooked, the aroma was overflowing, and everyone was holding the bowl and eating it one by one. The long march was very physically demanding, and they were all hungry.

Jiang Laosan and Yang Er smelled the smell of meat, and they were also a little deeper, struggling to get up to eat, and as soon as they moved, a tearing pain came, and they grinned in pain. In fact, if they continued to march, they would be able to walk a long way if they gritted their teeth, but now that they are lying down, they feel that it is difficult to stand up as soon as they take such a break.

The killer teams were all sitting in a circle and eating happily, but Dong Ce rode his horse to the foot of Hutou Mountain and looked up.

The location of the Hutou Mountain platform is about 300 meters higher than the ground in the valley, and the section of Hutou Mountain below the platform is very gentle, Dong Ce observed it, and it is about a 30-degree angle. Therefore, from the foot of this mountain, the straight-line distance from the platform is inevitably longer, about two miles more.

From this distance, you can already clearly see everything on the platform.

Dong Ce could see that an invisible circular defense line had been built at the edge of the platform, not so much a stone wall as a stone pile. However, due to the relatively high platform and the obstruction of the stone piles in that circle, Dong Ce couldn't see what was going on inside. Only occasionally can I see someone emerging from the pile of rocks, as if to look down, and then the head quickly retracts.

The last time he came, there was no such pile of stones, and I think it was piled up later, so I can't say that it was because of the arrival of the official army today.

Dong Ce's gaze moved downward, and he walked carefully on the hillside, and after a while, he knew it in his heart.

There are a lot of forests growing on the hillside, most of the forests are not big, some are just a few trees, and the big ones are only a dozen zhang square, and the distance between these forests is long and short, but for the attacking side, it is obviously advantageous. The forests are too small to hide ambushes, and the forests themselves are just hiding places, and there is no defense, and the most important point is that these forests are a little far away from the platform, and the horse thieves on the platform can neither shoot arrows from a distance to cover, nor form an effective echo. Therefore, if an ambush is put in the forest, it is really lonely and killed, and the attacker only needs to concentrate superior forces to encircle and suppress, and he can easily bulldoze and kill them one by one.

I don't know if Bai Mazi thought of this or if he didn't have the idea of arranging an ambush in his mind at all, Dong Ce felt that the latter was the majority. Even if Bai Mazi is not proficient in tactical tactics, even if he only has some military level, he will definitely not waste those many opportunities. For example, in the river valley, it is completely possible to send people to constantly harass it, for example, at the mouth of the valley, if Bai Mazi really has a heart, he should not put a soldier there, as long as he puts it, it will cause a lot of trouble to Dong Ce.

But he didn't take any measures at all, just hid on it and stuck to it, so that Dong Ce easily went deep into his heart.

Military defense, whether it is a city or a cottage, should be an overall defense system, and it is only right to deploy layers of defense. Sometimes, these defenses don't need to cause much damage. For example, if Bai Mazi sent someone to successfully attack and harass the Rock Fort Army, although it was impossible to cause many casualties to the Rock Fort Army, it could slow down the advance of the Rock Fort Army to a considerable extent, and make the soldiers impetuous, which would have a great impact on morale.

Of course, there may be another reason why Dong Ce led the troops too quickly, but it can roughly be seen from this that the level of Bai Mazi can be seen.

Under such terrain, the army advanced forward, and there was no need to worry about the large section in front, and it could directly advance to a distance of about fifty or sixty paces in front of the platform.

But further on, it was a death zone, for it was within range of the horse thieves' riding bows. And Bai Mazi will definitely place a large number of people shooting arrows on the edge of the platform.

If you want to move forward, it will be difficult.

The thought of facing such a dense rain of arrows, Dong Ce also felt a tingling of his scalp, and learned from the captured horse thief that there were at least a hundred or dozens of people in this cottage, and if everyone had a bow, the arrow rain should not be underestimated.

He thought about it for a long time before he had some ideas, his brows furrowed, and he nodded slightly.

The sound of horses' hooves came, and Bai Zhongqi's voice sounded from behind him: "Master, it's not too early, but do you want to eat?" ”

Dong Ce nodded and turned to leave.

The stationing of the Jiading team was under the forest at the foot of the mountain, and everyone was also cooking in a pot, and when Dong Ce went back, the rice was already cooked.

After just two bites, Dong Yongzhen and the others came back, and Dong Ce asked, "Is the investigation finished?" ”

"Back to the master's words," Dong Yongzhen said: "It's all been explored, it's been abandoned for a long time, and there are no horse thieves hiding inside." Lin Zi's subordinates on the mountain also led people around, but they didn't find the ambush. ”

Dong Ce glanced at him approvingly and said with a smile: "You are awake." It's also hard work, come, sit down and eat first. ”

Dong Yongzhen was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to the adult, your subordinates don't dare to say that you are hard." What Dong Ce said was the truth. When Dong Yongzhen first came, he was quite inconspicuous, and everyone didn't know where he came from, but later he showed his very strong martial arts, which impressed him. It is precisely because of his strong martial arts that Dong Ce kept him as a personal guard, but at the beginning, Dong Yongzhen was also silent and ineffective, and Dong Ce was still a little dissatisfied. But now, he can draw inferences from one another, and every time he arranges him to do something, just thinking that he can do eight points well, he can often do twelve points good for you. In the end, he is constantly growing.
