For the Han army, the daily camp was a big deal. Not to mention how many doorways there are in the camp selection, after the military horses settle down, they must first dig a trench, and then set up the outer wall of the camp and the guard tower, supplemented by heavy vehicles as the camp; Finally, the camp tent was set up, and various matters such as manpower for night patrols were arranged, and if the expedition was out, it was necessary to be busy for an hour every day.

The army of the Hu people is very casual in this regard, just as their ancestors lived on the grassland in pursuit of water and grass, and where the water and grass are abundant, they can settle down. As long as the general who leads the troops gives an order, even if it is a canopy. The horn sounded by the Hu people was exactly the meaning of ordering the whole army to stop advancing and move closer to the position where the horn was located before camping.

At this moment, in order to find out the enemy's situation, Lu Yao and the others were already extremely close to the location of the enemy's Chinese army. When thousands of Hu people came around, these people immediately had nothing to hide. At that moment, everyone did not delay any longer, and galloped wildly.

The front team of the Hu people really began to turn around one after another. Along the way, the crowd crossed the hill several times with the Hu people's army, and once bypassed the same cliff with the Hu people. If the Hu people were suspicious of the sound of horses' hooves close at hand, they only needed to pay a little attention to spot these Jin scouts.

It was all thanks to the blessing of the gods that he finally got out safely. When they finally returned to the woods where the rest of the centaurs were hiding, everyone felt nervous and on the verge of collapse.

The woods are already quite a bit of a way from the official road, and they are between two hills. The exit on the east side, sheltered by lush shrubs, leads to a gentle slope through which a small stream flows into Zhaoyuqi; The exit on the west side is winding, and after going out, it is connected to the path to Zhongdu. It's a great place to hide.

Several horses and fish penetrated into the forest, and the soldiers who received them in the forest had already prepared, and quickly moved the messy plants to cover the path that extended into the forest.

The nervous running just now also consumed Lu Yao's spirit, he was sweating profusely, and the hand holding the reins trembled slightly. But he did not dismount to rest, but pressed the bridle and said to the soldiers: "The situation of the enemy army is clear, we can not delay any longer, we must rush back to report to the lord immediately!" ”

The soldiers agreed in unison, and they waited in the forest for more than an hour, and both men and horses were full of strength.

With Lu Yao's order, all the cavalry mounted their horses together and headed for the west exit away from the official road.

Not long after leaving the woods, suddenly someone in the team shouted: "General, you can't go!" ”

Lu Yao frowned and looked back.

The one who shouted was a young officer with a burnt yellow face, named Zhu Sheng. Zhu Sheng was a prisoner who was recruited into the army after the Battle of Banqiao; Lu Yao once saved his life on the way to raid Guojiawu Fort. Before this person worked for the Xiongnu, he was originally a horse thief who was wandering around and committing crimes in the two states of Youji, so his bow and horse martial arts were quite level. What's even more rare is that he also read and was supported by everyone for his fairness, so he was selected into the pro-soldier team and was recently promoted to chief.

I only heard Zhu Sheng call repeatedly: "General, you can't go!" You listen! Listen! ”

Lu Yao raised his hand to signal, and the team that was a little commotion immediately quieted down. Lu Yao listened attentively, and in the silent forest, there was only the sound of the hunting evening wind blowing the treetops.

Wrong. Lu Yao inhaled deeply and exhaled deeply.

Something was still coming in the wind.

What was that?

"Your grandma's!" Shen Jin suddenly scolded angrily, and his face changed.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yao said sharply: "Everyone dismount!" Silence! Go back now! Fast! Fast! Fast! Fast! ”

Many soldiers still don't know why, but they still do it.

Soon after the scout cavalry was back hid in the dark woods, the sound of iron hooves shutting the ground in the distant night was like thunder. Although he couldn't see anything, every soldier clearly knew that it was the sound of hundreds of cavalry coming from all sides!

The crowd retreated into the forest in a panic, quite embarrassed.

These more than 100 soldiers are all strong men who have rolled in the sea of corpses and blood, and they have long put life and death aside; However, the current situation is, after all, surrounded by thousands of enemy troops, and this situation makes everyone nervous. Even officers such as the captain and the chief were in a state of confusion for a while.

Lu Yao was the last to lead the horse back into the forest. Shen Jin glared at Lu Yao and said excitedly, "Why are we coming back?" Waiting to die? It's better to rush out and kill quickly! ”

"What's the panic, we haven't shown any signs yet." Lu Yao didn't even glance at Shen Jin. He looked at his subordinates and said calmly, "The Hu people are not coming at us. ”

He took Shen Jin's shoulders and walked towards the edge of the woods: "Go and look carefully yourself, do they look like they are going to fight?" ”

The group cautiously touched the edge of the woods and was surprised to find that the Hu people were not here to fight. Judging by their appearance, it is clear that they are going to camp here.

Perhaps because of the good terrain nearby, the Huns gathered their whole army and went straight here. And the state of the mountains and rivers, thousands of mountains and ravines, especially in the south of Taiyuan country, both mountains and lakes and rivers, the terrain is extremely complex and changeable, suitable for camping places are not a hundred, there are eighty, but the Huns just found the same area with them to settle down!

The soldiers looked at each other, and they all scolded in their hearts for their bad luck.

Shen Jin hid behind a big tree and looked at the enemy camp, grinding his teeth uneasily. He felt as if the small army he was leading was a small animal hidden in the grass beside the bloodthirsty beast. As soon as the giant beast turned over, the little animal had to worry about whether it would become a ghost under its claws.

"Let the brethren be careful, and do not alarm the enemy." Lu Yao gave an order in a deep voice, and then concentrated on watching the enemy's camp from the gaps in the branches and leaves, and did not speak again.

Some Hu people searched the edge of the woodland and cut down some trees and dragged them away. At this time, the soldiers lay on their stomachs, not even daring to pant loudly.

Hu Ren moves very fast. They cut down trees and cut off their twigs to make long poles of a certain length. Take out felt, leather rope and other things from the bag you carry, support them with long rods, and splice and bundle them with each other; In just half an hour's work, hundreds of felt tents were erected, and several camps began to take shape. These camps occupy a vast territory, as if forming a huge fan that stretches out for three or four miles, encompassing a few nearby hills and woodlands.

Looking out from the woods, the tents of all colors stretched out as far as the eye could see, and the banners of the hunting and waving banners covered the sky.

The shouts of soldiers, the sound of trumpets, and the neighing of horses mingled into a noisy wave of sound. There were even the screams and scolding of women, which undoubtedly came from Han women who had been captured by the Huns along the way to be used as prostitutes. At the moment, there are only a few soldiers who are teasing them, and their tragic fate will not begin until night.

A look of compassion flashed on Lu Yao's face, and he continued to check the movements of the Hu people, and soon noticed that on the west side of the woods, on the gentle slope that was no more than a mile away from Lu Yao, there was a regular camp.

Usually the camp of the Hu people is simple and loose, but this camp is quite different. There are several layers of antlers inside and outside the camp, and there are several entrances and exits, and the scale can be about 1,000 people. In the middle of the camp, the banner of "Champion General" fluttered high, indicating that this was where Qiao Xi's team was. On the other side of the camp was a meandering stream, flanked by thousands of horses, and it seemed that his own army was all cavalry.

After a while, a group of knights who looked like Hu generals arrived, and everywhere they passed, the soldiers all bowed and saluted. At the core of this group of people is the bearded giant Qiao Xi.

Lu Yao watched intently, until Qiao Xi waved his hand to let the generals disperse, and he strode into the big tent of the Chinese army, then he waved his hand to signal the soldiers who followed to retreat into the forest, and he himself fell to the end according to the custom.

Shen Jin walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around again, but saw Lu Yao squinting his eyes and looking at the Hu people's tent again, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"TD!" Shen Jin sighed, and called Lu Yao in a low voice: "It's not a way for us to spend it here!" It's hidden, but the forest is too small to hide people. Even if it is not discovered at night, there will be only one dead end tomorrow morning after the sky is bright. ”

Lu Yao nodded slightly: "I know." ”

"We must break through at night!" Shen Jin waved his fist, gritted his teeth and said: "The Hu people camp loosely, and the night patrol is not in place, this little battle may not be able to trap us." Let's set off in the middle of the night, sneaking down the path to the east, and if we're lucky, we'll probably get out of the way...... Maybe it's two percent...... Even if you are discovered, it doesn't matter, fight your way out to break through! The brothers are all good men who are not afraid of death, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable! ”

"Uh-huh!" Lu Yao was still looking out of the woods, and promised in his mouth.

He said a lot, but Lu Yao didn't react, Shen Jin couldn't help but get anxious, and shouted in a low voice: "Daoming! You ......" Before the words fell, Lu Yao grabbed his arm and pulled him over. The power in Lu Yao's hand was so great that even Shen Jin's arm was as strong as iron felt a burst of pain.

I only heard Lu Yao shake his head and say, "Break through? Not to mention how many chances there are to stand out, even if the enemy camp is highlighted, how many are sure of escaping under the pursuit of the Hu cavalry? Without waiting for Shen Jin to answer, Lu Yao said word by word: "In this situation, if you take a step back, you will be reduced to a lost dog, and you will only be hunted down and killed." If it goes further, it can build extraordinary achievements! ”

Shen Jin's heart jumped violently, and he hesitated: "What do you mean by ......?" ”

Lu Yao turned his head sharply, and in the vast twilight, his eyes were almost shining, as if with a touching power. He pointed to the enemy's main camp outside Xu Kai there, and Ling Ran said: "In my opinion, only tonight's third watch, we will take the enemy's general's base camp first and kill the enemy general Qiao Xi!" The Lord will die, and the Hu people will be in chaos, and we will kill them with pride, and see who dares to stop them! ”

Lu Yao actually planned to attack the enemy army with a mere one hundred and fifty cavalry at night, and take the head of the general from among the crowd! Such a bold idea contained irresistible magic, which made Shen Jin's blood boil all over his body, making him almost dizzy.

He pondered violently in his heart, and said unconsciously: "But ......"

"Since I joined the command of Yue Shi Gong, I have deeply felt that the Lord is generous and heroic, and his bearing is extraordinary. However, its old troops were proud of their good fighting and often underestimated the rest of our state army. There are many helplessnesses, you must also have a deep understanding. ”

Lu Yao looked at Shen Jin and said slowly: "Now that we are in the enemy camp, it is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity given by God, and it is the time for the eldest husband to make contributions. As long as this battle is successful, how can we just raise our eyebrows? I'm afraid that 10,000 people will recite it, and from now on, who dares to underestimate it! I know very well that my brother has a reputation for daring to fight in the Bingzhou army, but I don't know if he has the courage to help me make meritorious service this time? ”

Shen Jin is a powerful opponent of hundreds of people, and he is a talent who is proficient in cavalry tactics, so he can be called Lu Yao's right-hand man. It's just that this gentleman is not as good as a friend of life and death like Xue Tong and an old department like Guo Huan for many years, and he is a little more unruly in the depths of his temperament, and the non-radical general method is not enough to move this person.

Shen Jin heard Lu Yao's words, and waved his fist angrily: "I am willing to fight with the general!" ”

"Good!" Lu Yao strode back to the forest and ordered: "All the soldiers gather!" ”

I was shocked to hear the news of the earthquake in Ya'an, Sichuan, and sincerely prayed for the safety of our compatriots in the earthquake area.
