The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

At the same time, an army suddenly arrived from Chaoge County, which immediately attracted the attention of Chu Yan in the Taihang Mountains.

When the decent people planned to investigate further, the army suddenly left and disappeared.

"Boss, the army you asked me to investigate has left." The spy returned to the camp and reported to Chu Yan.

"Leaving?" Chu Yan was a little strange, so she asked, "Do you know where you are going?"

"According to the local villagers, it seems that they have returned to the north." The spies replied.

In fact, it was ten miles north, and after a big bend, it returned to the surrounding areas of Chaoge County and settled down at a place about five miles away from the official road.

That is to say, in this era, the transmission of information is backward, and the mobility of the villagers is not high, so they cleverly concealed the past.

"It's not quite right. You also reported that this army came in two parts one after another. Now that you've come here, why are you leaving?" Chu Yan felt something was wrong.

He can understand if it is said to be directly southwest and join the grain transportation team.But it is not realistic to turn back directly.

"I also found out about this." The spy said, "The villagers have heard them complain, saying that there is no suspicious person here at all, and they made their trip for nothing..."

"Oh..." Then Chu Yan seemed to understand.

Apparently, the grain transportation team passed by here a few days ago and met the spies he sent, so they reported to the higher authorities just to be on the safe side.The higher-ups received the news, so they sent people over to investigate, but they didn't find it, so they simply left.

If you think about it that way, it seems a lot more reasonable.In the past two years, he has somewhat understood the situation of the officers and soldiers.Maybe they chose to leave when the investigation was fruitless.

"By the way, when will the food transport team come over?" Chu Yan asked immediately.

"Back to the leader, at most one day, you can reach Chaoge's side." Another spy replied.

"We can't wait for them to arrive at Chaoge and do it halfway!" Chu Yan felt that it would be safer to do it earlier.After all, the sudden appearance of officers and soldiers made him very alert.

In addition, the supplies on their side began to gradually become scarce, which made him urgently need to act as soon as possible.

He stood up suddenly, and formally issued an order: "Notify the whole army, follow me, now!"

If you want to ambush tomorrow, then you must go to the scheduled location today and prepare for the ambush.Otherwise, if we pass by tomorrow, it will be too late and we can only fight encounters.

"Yes!" Several cronies around went down one after another, and not long after, the robbers gathered together.

Following Chu Yan's order, thousands of people quickly advanced in the forest, not too far away, less than twenty miles away.Since it is not counted as luggage, it has arrived in two or three hours.

"This woodland is not bad. Make an ambush here. Let's make do tonight and put the medicine down. We can't make a fire tonight!" Chu Yan came to the scheduled ambush site, observed the environment here, and ordered.

In the mountains and forests, the most feared is not wild animals, but mosquitoes.Not to mention torturing people without lighting a fire, if a bonfire is lit at night, countless mosquitoes can gather, and it is even worse!

In the early years, Chu Yan obtained a formula in the hands of a ranger, using wormwood and other things to make insect repellent potions, and applying it on the skin can keep mosquitoes from approaching.Spraying some potions around the camp can also keep some beasts away.

The disadvantage is that the taste is very strong, but if you live in the mountains, you have to make a choice.

In the evening of the same day, around five or six in the afternoon, as the cooldown ended, Liu Tao turned on "Wind Dragon's Insight" again, but this time he did not focus on the Chu Yan camp, but near here.

After arriving here yesterday, he sent someone to carefully observe the surroundings, and found that the area near here, north of the road, was more suitable for ambush.On the one hand there are mountains and forests, on the other hand it is close to the mountains.After the looting was over, it was not so easy for the pursuers to find them when they headed into the forest.

So put the "wind dragon's insight" here, after all, according to the calculation results, the grain transportation team will definitely pass here tomorrow.

"It seems that Chu Yan and I have the same thoughts..." As the image of this area emerged in his mind, Liu Tao had just glanced at it casually, and then noticed something. After a closer look, he immediately laughed.

"Brother, could it be that Chu Yan has also come here?" Zhang Fei stepped forward to ask after hearing the words.

"In the forest not far from us, there is no fire yet, which is cruel enough." When Liu Tao said these words, he really admired the other party.

As for his side, if he hadn't smoked some wormwood and ghost needle grass, those mosquitoes would probably annoy him to death.This is the case here, but there are still in the mountains and forests, so there are more mosquitoes?

"I can't see anything from what I say..." Zhang Fei originally listened to Liu Tao's words, and looked towards the distant mountains and forests for the first time, but he didn't see the fire. He was about to say it was strange when he realized that the other party didn't light a fire.

"Speaking of which, it's so close... If you don't attack at night, I feel sorry for myself." Liu Tao sighed, after all, the two sides are less than ten miles apart.Moreover, the other party marched here today and couldn't make a fire, so he must be very tired after thinking about it.

"It's just that the opponent is in the forest, and my cavalry can't use it well..." Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed.

"Easy!" Liu Tao took a closer look at the situation of the bandits' camp, "Drive them out of the forest, isn't that all right?"

"The problem is, brother, there are only [-] crossbowmen after deducting the cavalry this time..." Zhang Fei still felt that something was wrong.He is fine, but Liu Tao's safety must always be taken care of.

"You don't need to worry about this. When the time comes, the other party will see the road, but we will be able to see it. When they catch up, we turn around and run away, luring them out of the forest. Isn't this just a good time for you to come forward and clean up the mess?" Liu Tao laughed. road.

"Is it really possible to do this?" Zhang Fei was a little moved when he heard the words.

"I also cherish my own life, okay?" Liu Tao pointed to himself, "The key is I can make them mess up first."

If you really want to count, it seems that it hasn't rained in the past few days.Not exactly air-dried, but good for a fire.I just learned 'Fire Arrow' just before, and I have been planning to try its power!

"Well, as long as my brother can guarantee this, then I have no objection." Zhang Fei thought for a while, and finally agreed.

"There's no need to be too nervous. Our enemies haven't realized that we have already discovered us." Liu Tao said while paying attention to the other side. Although Chu Yan sent people to guard around, she obviously didn't notice their situation. side.

It would be a pity to miss such a good night attack opportunity...

Chapter 132 The Burning Forest

As night fell, I didn't know if it was going to rain. There were many clouds in the sky, which even blocked the moonlight.

"I can't see my fingers..." Liu Tao complained a little, if it wasn't for the night vision ability of 'Wind Dragon's Insight', he might have trouble walking now.This situation lasted for 5 minutes before the eyes gradually adapted to the darkness and could barely move forward.

"Yang She, can you see the road?" Can't help looking at Yang She beside him, and asked curiously.From the beginning of the march, he didn't deliberately adapt to the night, and he didn't seem to be uncomfortable in his actions.

"It's strange to say that the subordinates have been able to clearly see the surrounding things at night since before." Yang She heard the words and replied,

"That's a pretty good talent." Liu Tao sighed a little, he was born with night vision effect, this talent is amazing.The key point is that Yang She's arrow skills are not bad, so it shouldn't be a big problem to just sneak around the enemy's camp at night and kill the general with one arrow.

This guy is well trained, maybe he can be used as an excellent assassin... Liu Tao couldn't help thinking.

"Maybe...before joining the army, this talent didn't bring much change to me." Yang She replied.

In general, what is the use of the ability to see at night?I am so tired from working during the day, and I want to sleep when I get home, why do I still have the idea of ​​late night activities?Unless he is a thief, but Yang She would rather be a ranger than a thief, this talent is half useless.

"After listening to my order, shoot at where the thief is. Also, how are the fire seeds and torches prepared?" Liu Tao looked behind him.

"The fire can be lit at any time!" A soldier around him soon came to report.

In this year, there is no such kind of fire book that can keep the fire for several hours.However, the thing that can preserve the fire seed is not necessarily the only fire book.For example, dry cattails, such as some fungi that can smolder.

For this night attack, I brought some kindling like this, together with some tinder and kindling, and it took a little time to ignite the fire.The torch is ready, and the fire can be spread immediately when the fire is lit.

"Do you remember the "Han Law" prohibiting arson?" Liu Tao tilted his head and recalled, "It seems that there is no such thing as deforestation..."

Besides, there were fewer fires during the Three Kingdoms period?Burn Changshe, Luoyang, Wancheng, Wuchao, Bowangpo, Xinye, Chibi, Lianying...

Then look at it, it's really nothing to light your own fire!
