The next day, the morning sun first appeared, and the waves on the lakeside rose with the wind. Zheng Quchi, who had two dark circles under his eyes, reached out and patted the dust all over his body, yawned again, and went to feed her with a pot of red meat. My new favorite white wolf.
She stood on the edge with sleepy eyes, threw a few pieces of meat over casually, then held the basin, squatted beside it and stared blankly in a daze.
Ouch~
"Aren't you full yet?"
Zheng Quchi heard a wolf howl, yawned again, and threw a few pieces at him again, but this time they didn't eat them, but paced around restlessly, stretched out their fangs, and let out a sinister howl. .
Ouch~
Ouch~
"The barking is quite rhythmic. Aren't you not full? That means you are thirsty?"
Zheng Quchi rubbed her eyes, braced herself, turned her head, and looked at the two of them for a long time. Suddenly she felt that something was wrong. She found that they were not howling towards her at all, but behind her...
Her expression suddenly changed, and just as she was about to turn around, she saw thousands of magnificent rays of rising sun on the horizon that reflected the red surface of Egret Lake, passed through the rustling and mottled treetops, and shone in her pupils, also pouring down on the ground.
At the same time, a series of loud and long horn sounds, like a low-frequency deafening sound covered by paper, lingered above the golden heron hunting ground for a long time.
The sound of the trombone signaled the official start of the Six Nations Military Trials.
The soldiers standing on the guard tower were shocked. They stretched their necks, their eyes almost popped out, and shouted anxiously: "Quickly, defend quickly, there is an enemy attack, there is an enemy attack."
Next to the camp, seven sentry towers and seven sentry soldiers with loud voices were set up. They simultaneously detected the sound of a war trumpet and the roar of an enemy army coming from the redwood forest like a stormy wave crashing on the shore.
The eye-catching blue flag of the "turbulent wave" was like a force of steel, moving at an unstoppable speed to a few hundred meters away from the Yeguo camp.
"It's Hongshengguo——"
"Thousands of Hongshengguo soldiers are advancing towards our camp. Adjutant Zheng, give the order quickly."
During this series of frantic and anxious urging, Zheng Quchi turned around, and the red light shone on her face with hot power. She narrowed her eyes slightly and saw a long queue not far away facing the rising sun. , rushing towards him as if full of blood.
She paused for a moment, her expression seemed to be blurred by the morning light, making it difficult to see clearly.
Everyone only heard a bright and clear voice saying calmly: "All guards, all retreat into the camp!"
When an order is given, the sentries are the first to hear it. As the "mouthpiece" of the camp, their responsibility is to convey it to the surrounding units from a high place to ensure that everyone in the camp can hear it.
"All guards, all retreat into the camp!"
"All guards, all retreat into the camp!"
The seven people are responsible for conveying orders at their respective positions.
The soldiers who were originally stationed on the camp rampart immediately changed from holding weapons and preparing to attack and fight to holding their weapons and turning around, and they all ran into the ramparts.
Everyone in Hong Shengguo couldn't help but feel proud when they saw that Ye Guo didn't even dare to show his face and ran away like a coward.
Commander-in-Chief Shen Tang Zhongyao pointed at the figure of Zheng Quchi who turned around and ran away with two white wolves on his shoulders: "Hahahahaha, look at it, this country of Ye doesn't even have the courage to fight. Seeing us attacking, he is frightened by the news. The adjutant is just worried. , and asked us to send the vanguard troops over to find out, there is no need at all, just rush in with me!"
Shen Tangzhong dares to be so arrogant because he knows that Yuan Xingzhou led a team to leave the camp yesterday and has not returned yet. This is not a secret. Scouts sent by various countries will pay attention to such important news.
When Hong Shengguo saw that Yuan Xingzhou and the others were not near their territory, they blindly guessed that he must have gone elsewhere to ambush other enemy troops.
Now only Zheng Quchi, who knew nothing, was left guarding such an empty-nest camp. He just called them to come over and seize it in one fell swoop, directly burning their retreat.
Pride, excitement and bloodthirsty moods lingered in Shen Tang. He had promised at the banquet that day that he would "kill" Zheng Quchi. This time he would definitely keep his promise, wouldn't he?
"I heard that they dug trenches, so I had to watch my step in case there were traps!"
After all, Shen Tangzhong is a veteran. He is rough but subtle. He is not simply going to be overwhelmed by the upcoming victory and the scene of great manpower, and relax his due vigilance.
"yes!"
As they approached, they saw a long and slender trench, shallow and narrow, with two earthen ladders dug on both sides. The soldiers of Hongshengguo tried to take a step, and then fell silent.
If Ye Guo digs a few more inches, they may not be able to take this step.
"Bah, what the hell!"
"Pooh."
Everyone from Hong Shengguo cursed and crossed the "ditch", no, they should have crossed the dry ditch. At this time, Shen Tangzhong frowned and said: "Things are weird, don't fall into their tricks."
"No way."
Suspicious, the soldiers of Hongsheng Kingdom cautiously groped their way to the fortress wall. During this period, they did not find any vicious traps set by Ye Kingdom outside. The ground was flat and the road was smooth.
"Commander, yesterday they built walls, dug ditches, and built several sentry towers. I guess they didn't have time to do anything else. They probably thought that the others would make some plans before attacking. You didn't see that the commander-in-chief of Ye Kingdom didn't come back. , they didn’t know that we would wait for the horn to sound, and the soldiers would have arrived outside their camp so quickly.”
When Shen Tangzhong thought about it, he also felt that it made sense. They only had such a short day to choose a place to camp, but they had built so many fancy things that were useless and careless. How could they have time to decorate other things.
Besides, Ye Guo had a female adjutant, but she was still a layman who knew nothing about fighting. What could she know?
The more Shen Tangzhong analyzed it, the more he felt that the Ye State was really suicidal. Since Yu Wensheng's death, no one in the Ye State could hold on to the foundation of the Ye State's great power, but their behavior of breaking things and breaking things also made him able to He was naturally happy to benefit from it.
"These adobe walls are laid flat, just like bricks."
The walls of the fortress are still warm when touched, and the surface seems to be darkened by fire. These walls are not connected as one, but like a maze, with a person's shoulder left between the walls. The distance is wide enough for people to pass through.
I don’t know if these Ye people cut corners or have other motives for building the wall.
These soil-embedded walls not only have one layer on the outside, but when they drilled in, they found that there was another layer on the inside. The layers overlapped, forming a visual blockage and clear gaps, but they could not detect insights at a glance.
Quirky.
Shen Tangzhong felt that these walls made people's hearts tremble, so he immediately asked people to pass by and not stay. They walked all the way, but no one from the Ye Kingdom came to sneak attack or stop them. Even in the Ye Kingdom camp, there was no sound.
Shen Tangzhong waved his hand: "Wait a minute."
"Commander?"
"Send someone to investigate first."
"yes."
A leader fumbled in with a dozen soldiers, and ran out after a while: "Commander, it is indeed the Ye Kingdom camp inside, but I didn't see the Ye army. Judging from the distribution of the footprints, it was very messy and hurried. They should have all gone to Bailu. Went to the lakeside.”
When Shen Tangzhong heard this, he was worried that they would run away, so he waved his hand: "Let's go!"
They rushed into the Ye Kingdom camp in a hurry. On the flat grass in front, there were two long rows of tents set up. There were bonfires with lingering smoke around them. There was soup left over from last night in the earthen stove, and pots and pans were scattered all over the place... …
As soon as Hong Shengguo saw this situation, he knew that they had advanced into the "belly" of Ye Guo's camp. It was up to them to resist the advance of the platoon in the front. As a last resort, they would definitely escape to the Bailu Lake in the rear.
The plants on the waterside of Bailu Lake are so dense and abundant that if one were to hide among them, it would be difficult to identify the specific location.
Shen Tangzhong was already sure that they couldn't pull off any tricks, so he shouted loudly: "Zheng Quchi, stop pretending to be a ghost and come out quickly."
While shouting, he waved to the team to move forward: "If you don't want to die an ugly death, just come out and surrender yourself. Maybe I will take pity on you and spare your life."
At this time, the person hiding suddenly shouted back angrily: "It's not certain who will let whom go."
"It turned out to be hidden over there." Shen Tangzhong's eyes lit up.
"Commander, what should we do with them?"
Shen Tangzhong snorted coldly: "Except Zheng Quchi, kill everyone else!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of Hongsheng Kingdom were shocked: "But, this time the Six Nations test troops, it was stated in advance that the main purpose is to demonstrate the battle, and try not to harm lives..."
However, Shen Tangzhong looked down coldly: "Can't you hear what I'm saying?"
The soldiers were immediately shocked: "Yes!"
Shen Tangzhong said coldly, so what if he killed these people now? Even if he killed Yuan Xingzhou as well, he expected that the Ye Kingdom would not dare to do anything to him, not to mention that the Queen of Ye would only wish that Yuan Xingzhou would suffer in this Six Nations test field.
Shen Tangzhong asked the soldiers to surround him, and he continued to quote Zheng Quchi.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so pitiful. Yuan Xingzhou must have taken away the large army, leaving only a few hundred or thousands of people here. He doesn't care about your life at all."
Sure enough, the hidden Zheng Quchi was not provoked and jumped out angrily: "Fuck you! In Shen Hall, I thought Mu Jin would be the first one to come today, but I didn't expect that you would be the most anxious one."
"Hahaha, the early bird catches the worm, you don't understand this."
At this time, Zheng Quchi looked at Shen Tang who was laughing wildly, her angry expression slowly calmed down, and she said: "Of course I know, and I also know that the bug that gets up early will be eaten by the bird."
Shen Tangzhong saw her change from the angry expression to a calm and relaxed expression. She clearly saw a large number of Hong Sheng's troops outflanking her, but she didn't feel nervous or panic at all.
Shen Tangzhong immediately looked around, but didn't see anything suspicious. He squinted his eyes and said, "Zheng Quchi, you don't have to be quick to talk. Do you think that there is a verbal agreement between the six countries, not to kill surrendered generals and defeated soldiers? For the purpose of exercise? I tell you, this is a hunting ground, and that is for the purpose of hunting. I am the hunter and you are the prey. Don’t expect me to be merciful."
"You don't intend to abide by the agreement of the Six Nations to test the troops and not kill the defeated generals and defeated troops, right?"
"Rules are made for the weak. Why should I abide by such a boring treaty?"
Zheng Quchi said: "Very good. Since you broke your promise and broke your promise, I don't have to be merciful."
When Shen Tangzhong heard her say such words, he felt an uncontrollable ridiculous smile rush down from his chest. Just when he was grinning and preparing to laugh, he suddenly felt something strange under his feet.
He was startled, but he didn't notice anything. However, there was a wave of exclamations in front of him, dust was flying, and under the chaos and noise, the ground suddenly collapsed, drowning Hong Sheng's army like a sloping flood.
"What's this?!"
Shen Tangzhong and the troops behind him hurriedly ran over and saw that a pit several feet deep and over a hundred meters wide had been dug in the camp. Most of the team that had just gone to ambush now collectively fell into the pit. Already? !
Every one of them fell so hard that they fell on their backs, wailing in pain. There were sharp rocks underneath, which were hard and sharp. Many people lost their arms and legs when they fell.
What's more, some even broke their heads. In addition to the secondary injuries caused by people bumping into people and people hitting people, hundreds or even thousands of Hongsheng's troops suffered a catastrophic disaster at the same time.
Shen Tangzhong was shocked.
He never dreamed that she, Zheng Quchi, would dig such a big hole in the camp to lure you into a trap, nor did he expect that they would accomplish so many tricks in just one day.
It would be difficult for hundreds of people to complete such a big pit in a day. What puzzled him even more was how was this deep pit and trap made?
Different from ordinary trap killings, how is such a large area of floating cover camouflage achieved?
Shen Tang was shocked, angry and full of doubts.
Naturally, Zheng Quchi would not tell him that anything in the hands of a skilled craftsman could be used. For example, rattan nets and flexible water plants could be used. For example, the soft mud near the lake was far easier to use than the hard, dry sand and gravel. Digging holes to bury people.
She asked: "Shen Tangzhong, do you want to dance by yourself, or should I help you dance?"
Shen Tangzhong immediately raised his head, and his dark face was extremely exciting at this moment, as if it had been splashed with colored ink, the black was tinged with purple and indigo: "Do you think I will be fooled by your sneaky tricks?"
"You only have less than a thousand troops left now. Do you think you can escape unscathed?" Zheng Quchi asked funnyly.
Shen Tangzhong said confidently: "Why not?"
"It seems... you are not going to listen to my good advice." Zheng Quchi shook his head with a sigh.
"Kill me!"
Just as they were charging to kill, they saw figures jumping out one after another from behind Zheng Quchi and to the left and right. After all these people stood up, they could almost completely occupy the area where water bamboo grows in Bailu Lake.
As far as the eye can see, there are all figures of Ye Jun. There must be four thousand or not three thousand people here.
The expressions of everyone waiting in the Shen Hall were completely frozen. Of course, the murderous forward movement just now was now stuck there in embarrassment, in a dilemma.
Is there something wrong with him, Yuan Xingzhou? He went out to lead his troops to fight, and only led a few thousand or two thousand people, but left a large army behind for a lieutenant Wang to dig holes and frame him? !
"Commander, we have fallen into this thief's trick, it is best to retreat first."
Seeing that something was wrong in Shen Tang, he wanted to keep the green hills there so that he would not be afraid of running out of firewood.
Just as he turned around, he saw hundreds of people pouring out from behind the barrier at the rear. Each of them had a slender spear. At Zheng Quchi's "shoot" order, the spear flew straight towards them.
In the Shen Hall, they struggled to block it. However, the design of this spear was very tricky. It was longer than an arrow and had a sharp hook. The force of a thrown spear should not be underestimated. If it was blocked, it would only deviate from the channel and accidentally injure others in minutes.
In the end... Shen Tangzhong jumped into the pit out of frustration.
Can it be done without jumping?
If you jump down, you will at most lose your arms and legs, and get injured all over your body. But if you don't jump, you will have to be stabbed to death by Zheng Quchi's weird slender spears.
——
At noon, Zheng Quchi dragged his steps slowly and brought another pot of fresh meat to feed the white wolf. Not far away, another enemy army was watching eagerly, ready to attack at any time.
She pretended not to notice, but sighed leisurely: "It seems that the hole dug after a busy night without sleep is still too small. I don't know if it can fit so many people in the end. I still have to find time to widen it a little more." That’s all.” (End of chapter)
