There will be two scouts leading the way in the front of the team. They are also the first to discover the bandits and then quickly come back to report.
After receiving the news, Zhou Jinyan did not order an attack, but ordered the carriage and luggage to be hidden, and everyone went halfway up the mountain.
The location here allows you to see the road down the mountain very well, and it is hidden and will not be discovered.
Jian Yu thought that these thousand soldiers were randomly transferred from the military camp by Zhou Jinyan, but when she found out that all the soldiers were very cooperative with Zhou Jinyan!
Just say that now, after Prince Jing gave the order to hide, everyone is hiding in an orderly manner!
From her position, she couldn't even see them, let alone the people down the mountain.
With such good training and tacit cooperation, Prince Jing's thousands of soldiers are definitely not so easy to select!
Squatting next to Zhou Jinyan, Jian Yu was still far away from the bottom of the mountain, but she didn't dare to breathe, for fear that she would inadvertently expose everyone.
"sit."
Zhou Jinyan took the cloak from Wei Bai and threw it in front of Jian Yu.
Jian Yu was stunned and looked at Zhou Jinyan, who was looking at the bottom of the mountain after saying this. She pursed her lips and sat up. Her legs were really sore from squatting.
Wei Bai on the side couldn't help but twitched his mouth. Just now, his master ordered him to bring a cloak. He thought it was for some purpose. In the past, on the battlefield, the small items that his master casually ordered to carry could very well be the key to winning the whole situation. .
When he took the cloak, it was quite reverent! I was still thinking about how my master would use his cloak to deal with bandits, and I was excited to see my master's new tricks.
As a result...it was for the princess to sit on?
It wasn't that Wei Bai didn't think it should be done, but he just felt a little uncomfortable.
Master, he has changed!
There is a sense of absurdity in a general wielding a sword and a stick and suddenly picking up an embroidery needle. When has the prince ever been so careful? When they marched and fought, they always sat on the ground.
After sitting down, Jian Yu could completely hide behind Zhou Jinyan. She felt relieved that even if she was discovered, she would see Prince Jing first.
She turned slightly sideways and looked through the gap in the grass to see what the bandits were doing below.
No wonder she was so surprised at first sight, because the bandits were carrying geared iron ropes! They laid the iron rope on the ground, spread the soil to hide it, and pulled up the horse rope not far away, then dug a hole and placed sharpened bamboo shoots in it.
This is to ambush passers-by!
The mountain they were on was not high, and the distance between the mountainside and the road was not far or close. Listening carefully to the wind could bring out a few words.
Not to mention Zhou Jinyan, a martial arts practitioner with smart eyes and ears, even Jian Yu heard that this group of people mentioned Prince Jing!
"Are we the ones they want to ambush?" Jian Yu whispered into Zhou Jinyan's ear.
Zhou Jinyan turned around and saw Jian Yu's careful and serious look on her face. She pinched the grass stalk and rubbed it twice, and said secretly: "Yes."
After saying this, he raised his hand and pressed Jian Yu's forehead, too close.
Jian Yu was pushed away and didn't take it to heart. She focused on the bandits below. After getting the affirmative answer, she thought that not all people in Shengjing were stupid.
Someone must have detected Prince Jing’s movements. Although he didn’t know where Prince Jing’s destination was, he could tell the general direction, so the other party contacted the bandits to intercept him halfway!
Judging from the distance, someone should have sent a message as soon as they left Shengjing City, and the gangsters who set off from Lieri Peak could meet them here.
These dozen or so bandits were here to lay a trap, and there must be others elsewhere. Officials did not know how many bandits there were in Lieri Peak, but it was conservatively estimated to be in the thousands.
These ten or so people chose to set up traps here, and the others should be a little way behind, because soldiers and horses injured after experiencing traps are easier to deal with.
"Through the mountain."
Zhou Jinyan ordered, Wei Bai accepted the order, and then conveyed it down. After a while, the soldiers all started to move.
Jian Yu was a little at a loss, what kind of mountain to cross? What's going through the mountain?
"Come up."
Um? Jian Yu was even more confused when she looked at Zhou Jinyan squatting in front of her.
Seeing that Jian Yu didn't respond, Zhou Jinyan turned around, grabbed her hand, and carried it directly on his body. As he walked, he said: "Go around from the mountain to the back of the bandits, kill their main force, and then deal with the few soldiers and generals in front of them."
Wei Bai looked back and saw that the master would actually explain his tactics to others! And he also joked about the word shrimp, soldier and crab general!
I have been on a mission these days. Has it changed so much since I came back? Obviously when he was in the mansion before, the master's attitude was not proactive!
"I-I can walk by myself."
Even if they can't walk, they still have Hongmei, so they can support each other instead of him carrying them.
After saying this, Jian Yu struggled to get down. Zhou Jinyan bumped a little, making the person more stable on him, and then said: "Like the last time when you measured the sky with a ruler?"
Jian Yu was silent. She was also carried down the mountain that time.
Yes, this is not the first time that I have been carried on my back, there is nothing to be pretentious about! Jian Yu silently "spit" herself in her heart, and then found a comfortable position to lie down.
Just carry it! What is she afraid of?
Zhou Jinyan clearly felt the change of the person on his back from supporting his waist to lying down. The corners of his mouth curled up. The little fox sometimes listens to advice.
In this way, Jian Yu climbed over a mountain on Zhou Jinyan's back.
When Jian Yu got off the other person's back, she saw that this person was not blushing or out of breath. She was envious in her heart. He was in such good physical condition! Envy, want to have...
"What do you want to have?"
Suddenly, the person in front of him suddenly turned around and asked with a hint of ridicule in his eyebrows.
The corners of Jian Yu's mouth twitched, and she spoke out what was in her heart...
Just let Zhou Jinyan hear it, and the other person's expression looked like she wanted to have him. What was this misunderstanding about?
What she wants to have is a healthy body! Jian Yu explained this.
Jian Yu looked at the other person and said "Oh", then turned around and looked obviously unconvinced. Jian Yu clenched her fists, feeling like she wanted to be beaten!
"Master, we found the bandits."
The detective came over to report that he had explored the road and confirmed that there were no other ambushes. The bandits were having lunch and listening to their conversation, which meant that Prince Jing's carriage and horses would not arrive until the evening, so it was better to have a full meal now to fight. Spirit.
At this point, it was even more certain that someone had leaked Prince Jing's whereabouts, and the bandits were coming for Prince Jing.
"Get ready to take action."
After Zhou Jinyan looked at the terrain, he ordered the soldiers to form their own formations and start the attack. He did not need to go forward personally and tell the soldiers to act.
Seeing the soldiers rushing down the mountain, their knife edges stained with blood, Zhou Jinyan looked lazily and sternly, as if the fight at the foot of the mountain was just a game of house.
Until he saw the death of the first bandit, he seemed to have thought of something and his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Jian Yu beside him: "Close your eyes if you are afraid."
It was the first time she saw this kind of large-scale fighting. Jian Yu's face turned pale. The people below did not make any beautiful moves to kill them, but they had a series of killing moves. They were so brutal that their arms would be cut off with a single counterattack, and their limbs flew into the air, and their blood flowed into the air. Flowing all over the ground.
This was a bloody occasion that Jian Yu had never seen with her own eyes.
It turns out that reality is more cruel and shocking than she imagined.
