Feng Dian slept in the open for two days, and along the way Song Xin gradually learned how to ride a horse without stirrups. My thighs were sore the first day and felt nothing the next day. It's because after practicing, his body is much stronger than ordinary people.
In order to avoid Sun Liu's scouts, the three of them first headed south along the west bank of the Han River. After crossing the Han River, the scene was very different from that north of the Han River.
Abandoned ordnance, carriages and horses can be seen everywhere, and from time to time you can see dead bodies lying on the roadside, and there are also a few dead people hanging on the branches. From time to time, dusky crows peck at their corpses, and when they see someone approaching, they pounce on them. A large piece flew up. After a few people walked away, they flew back and continued to eat greedily at the dead bodies.
"Brothers, I have entered the war zone, be careful along the way."
"Well, how about we change out of the military robes and wear ordinary people's clothes?" Song Ya said.
"I think it's okay, but you have to wear soft armor inside so that you can protect yourself if you are attacked." Wei Tong said.
Several people dismounted and found some clothes. They didn't care about the dirty smell and just put them on. If they were close, their weapons and expressions would still reveal their identities. If they were seen from a distance, they would just be thought of as a few fleeing passers-by.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Follow me and rush to Jiangling City." Wei Tong said.
Song Ya and others nodded, clamped their feet on the horse's belly, and the three horses started running wildly again. In the evening, they could faintly see the long black city wall of Jiangling City, which looked lonely and solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun.
There are many places on the city wall with black smoke, rising straight into the sky, dyeing the setting sun a layer of gray.
Dozens of miles outside the city, there is a series of green camps, all connected by corridors, with carriages and horses passing through them from time to time, like blood flowing in the veins.
These camps and corridors formed a huge circular encirclement in the southeast of Jiangling, and enemy troops were also camped and garrisoned on the main roads in the northeast of Jiangling. The roads to the west and north, because Yiling was lost and the enemy's situation was unclear, they did not dare to go there hastily. Not to mention taking a detour, they might encounter enemy troops. If you want to enter the city, you must pass through the enemy's blockade. At this time, in these camps, the soldiers were burying pots to make rice, and smoke was rising from the furnaces.
The three of them rode horses and stopped in a forest. If they broke through like this, the three of them must have been shot into hedgehogs by the patrolling Wu Jun. We need to discuss countermeasures and how to enter the city.
"Brothers, there are enemy troops on the road leading to Jiangling. What can you do?" Song Ya and the others tied their horses, blindfolded their eyes and took off their bells. Make him kneel down and hide in the forest.
"If we can get a few sets of Wu Jun uniforms and the three of us put them on, we might be able to get through." Wei Tong said.
"Well, this is a good plan. Let's wait here until dark and see if we can sneak into the enemy camp to get some sets of clothes." Song Ya said.
"I'm small, so why don't you just let me in? I don't think they will find me that easily." Song Xin said.
"Don't be ridiculous. It's not that easy in this enemy camp. Just wait for the scouts who come out of the camp to intercept and kill them, and then you can get the clothes." Wei Tong said slyly.
Song Xin thought that sneaking in was easy. He could sneak in and knock out a few soldiers and get the clothes. Little did they know that the camp was heavily defended and there were numerous open and hidden sentries, so how could one capture someone so easily.
Wei Tong unknowingly taught him another lesson.
As a man who has experienced battles for a long time, Wei Tong knew the dangers involved. Moreover, this is Zhou Gongjin's camp. He is not an ordinary coach and will definitely arrange it more strictly.
"What the elder brother said is that the younger brother is reckless." Song Xin was a little embarrassed and thought in his heart:
"It seems that those games and TV series are all nonsense, and they are not the same as the real battlefield. It is not easy just to pass through the capillary-like tunnels between these camps."
"Well, it doesn't matter. Let's take a detour to the west side of the camp and ambush a few miles outside the gate. There will definitely be scouts and spies coming out." Wei Tong said.
After a short discussion, they rode around to the southeast side of Wu Jun's camp. This was a road commonly used by Wu Jun, and messengers and scouts often passed by.
They quietly lurked beside the avenue, waiting for nightfall. Wei Tong and Song Ya hid in the grass on both sides of the road and pulled out a rope. Song Xin immediately went up, carefully covered it with soil, and retreated into the grass.
"Cousin, just wait in the grass for a while. It's easy for the two of us to catch a few scouts." Song Ya warned. Song Xin nodded in agreement, but also put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"It would be easier if we had a hidden weapon or a crossbow at this time," Song Xin was thinking. Wei Tong suddenly reminded in a low voice, "Shut up, it's coming."
Song Xin and Song Ya followed the sound and looked in the direction of the camp. Sure enough, the camp door opened and three riders filed out. Under the light of the fire outside the camp, Song Xin saw that one of the three people had a feather on his back and a bundle tied around his waist. He was obviously a messenger.
"As soon as the stumbling rope is pulled up, we will quickly deal with them. It is dark here, and the other side of the camp will not see it, but if he runs back to report the news, we will definitely not be able to escape."
"Yeah" Song Xin agreed.
As the three horses got closer and closer, Song Xin's palms began to sweat and tremble due to nervousness. Although he had dealt with monsters before, this was the first time in his two lives that he had killed someone, which made him feel a little uneasy.
The main reason is that this person has no grievances against him, so he really can't do anything.
And this time was different from how to deal with Wei Qi. He couldn't use any spiritual power. If it caused thunder to fall, he would definitely be beaten to dust with his meager behavior.
With a "bang" sound, the tripping rope suddenly jumped up and flew toward the messengers with dust. The first two horses were startled and threw them off their horses.
A cavalry guard behind him realized the danger, turned his horse's head and ran back.
How could Wei Tong let him get his wish? This man would definitely lead a large team of people to search for him when he returned. There was no way he could escape.
Song Ya and Wei Tong were not hesitant, and suddenly rushed out of the grass where they were hiding. Wei Tong threw his short spear and instantly pierced the neck of the man who wanted to go back to report the news. Immediately afterwards, Song Yashang also jumped forward, raised his sword and hacked to death another guarding cavalryman.
At this time, the messenger on the ground had stood up, but his eyes were blurred by the dust. Wei Tong had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he went up and killed him with a knife.
Song Xin originally rushed out to solve one, but hesitated at the critical moment.
Seeing the murder, he was still very shocked. Now his psychological quality is much worse than that of his two brothers. After all, killing is something that a modern person cannot accept morally for a while.
Song Xin could also see that Wei Tong held back his strength when practicing with him.
Wei Tong's strikes were as fast as lightning, and his landing position was also very accurate. After seeing his skills today, I knew that if I really fought with him, I would be dead and dismembered in the face of him. Even if he had spiritual power and divine consciousness, he might not even be able to cast a spell. The reputation of this Yingchuan swordsman is indeed well-deserved.
In order to prevent the messenger's horse from finding its way back to the camp, they killed the horse as well. The body was thrown into the grass and covered carefully, and a few broken arrows were inserted into it to disguise it as a dead horse.
He took off the clothes of several Wu soldiers and put them on himself. If you don't speak at this time, you will look like a soldier of the Wu army. As soon as he opens his mouth, his northern accent will reveal his identity again.
Wei Tong also found a letter on the dead body, but he put it in his arms without even reading it. To light a fire and read letters in this dark place is simply to seek death.
They sneaked back into the woods to discuss how to pass through the Wu army's camp.
"Brothers, it will be difficult for us to sneak out of the camp like this, but we can go in boldly." Wei Tong said.
"Oh, how about it?"
You see, although the enemy has set up camps on the road leading to Jiangling, I saw a military camp on the east side, and the banner on the tent said "Chariot and Cavalry General Zhang". Wei Tong said.
"This must be Zhang Yide's camp. Judging from his camp, it must have been set up today. The corridor does not connect with Zhou Yu's army, and there are still some unfinished sentries, so it is easier to pass through."
Wei Tong pointed to a half-cut forest land, apparently for the purpose of building a tunnel.
"Brother Wei tells us what to do, and we will follow." Song Ya said.
"Well, let's burn this forest first so that they have no use for wood. Then we rush into Zhang Fei's camp. Just shout, 'Cao's army has robbed the camp, and the governor ordered all the troops to be on guard.' We will shout all the way through, and we will naturally be safe." ." Wei Tong said the plan.
Then he added: "Zhang Fei's soldiers don't have many people in the south. In the chaos, our accent should be able to get through. If we are seen through, we will have no choice but to fight out."
"Well, I'll follow suit." They immediately started lighting the fire.
After a while, the forest was burning in bits and pieces, and after a while, a whole area was burned. Several people jumped on their horses and ran towards the entrance of Zhang Fei's camp.
When they arrived at the gate of the camp, the guard soldiers wanted to stop him, but saw Zhou Yujun dressed up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wei Tong shouted, "Tonight the enemy is robbing the camp. Governor Zhou has ordered me to send General Yide to be on guard and get out of the way of the antlers!" When the soldiers heard that it was Cao's army who was attacking at night, they immediately became nervous and immediately moved the antlers away to let them go. Go in. Wei Tong and others were also unambiguous. As soon as they entered the camp gate, they started shouting all the way.
"Wu's army robbed the camp, all troops are on alert!"
Suddenly, Zhang Fei's camp was in chaos. Countless soldiers ran out of the tents, their clothes and armor were disheveled, and their weapons were scattered. The four of them were secretly happy to see them, and they rushed towards Jiangling.
Zhang Yide drank some wine that night and was a little tipsy, lying on the bed to rest. Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside, and someone shouted that Cao Jun was robbing the camp. Immediately startled, he jumped up from the bed, picked up the long knife beside the bed, and walked out quickly.
Standing outside his tent, he felt something was wrong. He glanced at the camp and yelled like thunder, "Who is making noise in the camp!?"
The man holding the halberd ran over and said, "Just now, a few soldiers from the Wu camp came in and shouted that Cao's army was robbing the camp. The sergeants were getting up to prepare, so they were panicked."
Zhang Fei felt strange, how could Zhou Yu be so kind and tell him that Cao Jun was robbing the camp? Zhang Fei was a battle-hardened general with rich experience. He was suspicious, so he listened carefully. The voices of those people clearly had a northern accent, and he immediately understood.
He was so angry that he was so angry that he cursed: "You stupid pigs, these people are obviously from the north, how can they be from the southern army. They must be spies of Cao's army. Send the order, capture a few of them alive, and bring them to me."
After saying that, he returned to the camp angrily, feeling unwilling to give up. He stood up and said, "Follow me and chase after you!" The attendant did not dare to delay and immediately went to get the armor for Zhang Fei to wear. The soldiers also went down to deliver the order to capture Song Xin and others.
On Song Xin's side, he ran all the way to the north gate. When he was approaching the north gate, the camp gate had begun to slowly close. Zhang Fei had obviously discovered the clue, and he saw soldiers surrounding him, constantly surrounding them.
"Exposed, get out!"
