"Ah!" Quhou screamed, rolled to the ground and screamed while covering his wound.
Song Xin's sword startled both Zhang Hu and Zhou Zhong, and even made the soldiers behind Qu Hou scream in fright.
Zhang Hu quickly asked: "Master, why are you doing this?"
"This guy is trying to lie to me! Cut off one of his ears."
Zhang Hu and Zhou Zhong looked at each other, and Zhou Zhong asked, "Master, how do you know he is lying to us?"
Song Xin looked at Qu Hou rolling on the ground and snorted coldly, shook out a piece of deerskin, Zhou Zhong took it and saw that it was a map of the area, "This is what I got from Han Sima's desk, to go to Snake Crossing Gorge" The road from here is still more than ten miles away, not three miles away at all."
At this time, Qu Hou stopped screaming and looked at Song Xin in horror. He never expected that this seemingly kind-hearted young man could be so ruthless. And the other party was just testing him!
Song Xin continued: "There is indeed a branch road three miles away, but it does not lead to the Snake Chuan Gorge." He looked at the pale Qu Hou and smiled playfully, "Don't you think so?"
"You already know, why are you still asking me!?" Qu Hou found that his mind had been seen through, and simply said with a frown.
Zhou Zhong took the map and looked at it for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "This guy wants to lead us to a dead end."
Song Xin squatted in front of Quhou, "Tell me, what's on the road? If you don't lie, maybe I can spare your life."
Not to be outdone, Qu Hou sneered, "Can you tell if you go and see for yourself?"
Song Xin smiled and said, "That's fine, you wasted your last chance to survive. Let me tell you, you have set a trap. As long as we enter, someone will put down the giant stone trap and trap us inside."
"You! How did you know!?" Quhou was shocked. At this time, Song Yu came from behind, holding a human head in his hand and threw it in front of Qu Hou, "Do you know this team leader?"
Qu Hou was heartbroken to see this man. This man was from his hometown, and he was the one he sent to set up traps on that road and then lay in wait for the enemy.
Zhang Hu stepped forward and slapped Qu Hou on the face, "The prisoner below still wants to harm us!"
Song Xin stood up and said calmly: "Kill him."
"Don't kill, don't kill me, I can take you to Snake Chuan Gorge!" Quhou collapsed and begged loudly, lying on the ground.
"It's late. I know the way to Snake Chuan Gorge." Song Xin shook the roll of deerskin in his hand.
"There are still many traps on the road. Without me, you wouldn't be able to get there!" Quhou shouted.
But Song Xin chuckled and said to the people behind Qu Hou: "I need a guide. If any of you are willing, I can let him go home and pay you the travel expenses." Although Song Xin knew the way, he didn't know what would happen on the way. There will be no traps. These things were useless to him, but they were fatal to Zhang Hu and the others.
Immediately several prisoners stood up and said, "I do, I know the way!"
"I know it too!"
"I can also lead the way. There are pits I dug on the road! They don't even know where they are!"
Song Xin looked at Zhang Hu and Zhou Zhong and smiled, then randomly named a few people and asked them to lead the way. Zhang Hu did not hesitate, stepped forward and stabbed Qu Hou in the heart. He struggled for a few times and then died unwillingly. Then the body was thrown to the foot of the cliff.
The remnants of Quhou's soldiers were all trembling after looking at them, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
"Zhong Zhou, you tie them up and send a few brothers to take a look." Zhou Zhong was stunned, "Look? What if they escape?"
Song Xin smiled and said, "Isn't there a perfect place three miles ahead?"
Zhou Zhong patted his head and said, "That's right! Although it is a dead end prepared for us, it is also an absolutely safe place!"
Everyone set off immediately and followed the path to a fork three miles away. At this time, the ambush inside had already been cleared by Song Yu. Zhou Zhong found a few people to escort the prisoners in. And the road was closed so that the prisoners could not escape at all.
Fortunately, two prisoners led the way, and they bypassed countless traps along the way. When they arrived in the east, the sun was rising and the fog was disappearing.
When they left, they arrived at their destination unscathed. Song Xin climbed up a hill on the side of the road and looked over. Sure enough, he saw a winding road leading to the entrance of a canyon.
At this time, Zhang Hu and Zhou Zhong also climbed over and were surprised when they saw the enemy camp in the distance.
I saw a large tent erected by a stream not far from the mouth of the valley, hidden in the mountains and forests. According to this scale, there are probably thousands of people.
Zhang Hu wiped his sweat and said, "Why are there so many people here!?"
Song Xin smiled and said, "Guess what they are gathering here to do?"
Zhou Zhong pulled out a roll of deerskin from his waist, opened it, looked at it for a while and said, "This snake passing through the gorge can lead to the rear of our army."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hu's face suddenly turned pale, "It leads to the rear of our army. Are they planning a sneak attack?"
songs Where is the road to the rear of the army?"
Zhou Zhong nodded, "Yes, they gather here. First, they can prevent our army from using the canyon, and second, they can attack at any time to attack the supplies and food in the rear of our army."
Song Xin nodded, "What Zhou Zhong said is right. They must have arranged an ambush on the canyon. Even if our scouts discover the canyon, they may never come back."
Zhang Hu asked: "Then what should we do? Fight in again?"
Song Xin shook his head, "I won't do this kind of loss-making business." Then he looked at Song Yu aside, "Song Yu, go find out the location of the enemy's ambush in the canyon."
"Zhang Hu, you and Zhou Zhong take everyone, put on the enemy's clothes and armor, and follow Song Yu to get rid of the ambush. I think they should have prepared rolling wood and rocks for us. When the time comes, you will follow my orders and go to Just say hello."
Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, "What about you?"
Song Xin smiled slyly, "For such a big camp, the leader must be a general, right?"
Zhou Zhong didn't know what he meant, but he still nodded, "There are at least a thousand people here, and at least he is a school captain."
"Song Yu, go ahead. Be clean and don't make any noise so that people in the camp can notice."
Song Yu chuckled, "Young Master, just don't worry."
Although Zhang Hu and Zhou Zhong didn't know what Song Xin was planning, seeing that he looked confident, they didn't say anything more, left their horses and went into the forest with Song Yu.
After they left, Song Xin put away the horses, called the two prisoners to his side, and threw each of them a bag of copper coins. "As agreed, you can leave. But I advise you not to report the news, because our army is about to If we encircle this place, then the whole place will be devastated, and you won’t be able to survive either.”
The two enemy prisoners were shocked. They didn't expect Song Xin to let them go. What shocked them even more was that the imperial army was about to surround them. One prisoner asked worriedly: "Are you really letting us go?"
Song Xin smiled warmly and said, "Yeah, really. If you don't leave now, if I change my mind later..."
The two prisoners immediately said: "Thank you, thank you! Let's leave now!" They saw Song Xin's ruthlessness when he killed Qu Hou, and they wanted to leave quickly. They bowed, turned and fled.
Song Xin shouted from behind: "Hey, don't go to the front to report the news! Otherwise, you will be unjust!"
The prisoner couldn't care less about this and ran away, disappearing into the dense forest after a while.
Song Xin looked at their embarrassment, laughed meaningfully, turned around and fled into the forest.
After a while, in the enemy camp, a general squinted his eyes and stared at the two kneeling prisoners in front of him. As Song Xin expected, the two prisoners who were let go ran to report the news. "You said enemy troops attacked your camp? How many people are there?"
"There is only one team, more than five...fifty people."
General Pi suddenly slammed the table, making the two prisoners tremble in fright, "Fart! Fifty people? How did hundreds of you get killed by fifty people! Are they all a bunch of pigs?!"
The prisoner said with a mournful face: "General, calm down, they are taking advantage of the situation at night.
We set fire to the heavy fog. We did not argue between ourselves and the enemy, but killed each other to let them succeed. "The two people talked about what happened last night in detail, and General Pi frowned tightly.
"Is he really that powerful? Where is Han Sima? How can he be easily fooled by his long experience in battle?" He still didn't believe it.
"Han Sima was captured by the enemy leader and his whereabouts are unknown. By the way, general, the enemy leader also said that the imperial army is about to surround this place."
The other prisoner nodded quickly, "Yes, that's what he said! He also said that we should run away quickly and stop being unjust victims."
General Pi was shocked, but before he could ask more questions, a scout hurried in from outside the camp, shouting loudly as he ran: "Report! Our army's military camp ten miles away was attacked. More than 400 people were killed, and the rest did not know. whereabouts!"
General Pi raised his eyebrows and was about to ask more questions when another scout rushed in and shouted: "General, one of our troops was attacked by the enemy on the road and the entire army was wiped out!"
General Pi looked more solemn this time and stood up, "Have you found any traces of other enemy troops?"
"Not discovered yet!"
The two prisoners quickly said: "Those who attacked our camp have abandoned their horses and gone into the mountains."
General Pi nodded and ordered all ministries to be on guard. He felt that there was no way the enemy had only one team of men, there must be a large force hidden in the mountains and forests. Otherwise, with Han Sima's ability, how could he be defeated by more than fifty people.
While he was anxiously waiting for news, a soldier ran in from outside the camp and said, "General, there is a challenge outside the door!"
General Pi raised his eyebrows and said, "Challenge?" As he said this, he strode out of the camp and saw from a distance outside the camp gate, a young man standing with his sword drawn and looking at him with bright eyes.
"Why is there only one person?"
He was right, Song Xin was the only one at the gate of the camp. General Pi watched for a long time, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. The other party was obviously ambushing. Looking at the mountain forest behind Song Xin, there seemed to be countless enemy troops hidden among the trees swaying in the wind.
General Pi got on his horse and walked to the gate of the camp. He saw the other party's calm look, which further confirmed his guess. The other party was definitely here to lure him into battle. The other party must have hidden his troops!
Seeing the suspicious look on General Pi's face, Song Xin knew that his goal had been achieved, and laughed and said: "What, are you scared? Come on, come on, do you dare to fight me?"
