Three Kingdoms

Retreating does not mean turning around and running away, but retreating slowly and in batches in an orderly manner. Random and disorderly retreat will often cause riots in the troops. Only retreating in an orderly manner can ensure the safety of the ranks.

First, the carriages carrying goods slowly turned around, and then the Cui family's guards retreated with the carriages, and then Fei Qian, Huang Cheng and other soldiers retreated behind the carriages and horses.

After retreating for a while, the road became more open.

Fei Qian looked at the sky. Although it was a little early, he still ordered to set up camp.

The situation ahead is unclear, we cannot move forward, and it is unrealistic to retreat. We might as well stay here temporarily and make a decision after the situation becomes clear.

Bandits?

Baibo thief?

This is the junction of Henan Yin and Hongnong counties. Whether you go back or go forward, you are still some distance away from the next village. If you encounter an ambush in this place, it will be too late to move reinforcements.

But how could there be thieves in a place like this?

Besides, those who dare to attack the Han Dynasty’s officers and soldiers are really very courageous...

This time, Huang Cheng and others wore Han family military robes in addition to their original armors.

If you want to get some armor, it may be a little difficult. After all, a set of armor is very valuable, and Fei Qian has no military mission, so it is quite troublesome to get the armor.

However, Huang Cheng and others benefited from the foundation of the Huang family and wore armor when they came out of Jingxiang. Fei Qian just went to the arsenal to get some cheap ordinary Han family uniforms, and Fei Qian himself did have some He is an official, so it doesn't matter.

Therefore, this time when transporting Cai Yong's books, Huang Cheng and others wore military robes of the Han family, but the guards of the Cui family still did not wear military uniforms. At first glance, it looked like officers and soldiers with some auxiliary soldiers transporting items. Similar.

The problem may lie in this place...

Hongnong territory!

Fei Qian cursed in his heart and couldn't help but feel a little angry. These people really dare to do anything!

After Huang Cheng retreated, he saw that there was no movement on the road. He felt a little uncertain in his heart, so he went to Fei Qian and said, "Fei Langjun, do you want to send a few people to check the road ahead?"

Fei Qian thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, let the Cui family send two or three guards back. Just say that if you encounter the remnants of the Yellow Turban bandits, please call for reinforcements."

"Yellow Turban remnants?" Huang Cheng was a little confused.

Fei Qian nodded, motioned to Huang Cheng to stand closer, and whispered a few words.

Huang Cheng took a breath and looked at Fei Qian in disbelief.

"After all, there's nothing wrong with being careful. Let's do it like this first. It's getting late and we still need to make some arrangements."

"These guys have retreated! Commander, what should we do now?"

The man who was called the Military Marquis turned around and slapped the person who was speaking, staggering, and shouted in a low voice: "Damn it! Call me Commander! If you call me wrong again, I will beat the shit out of your head!"

"Yes! Army... Commander!" The beaten man almost called the wrong one again, but luckily he changed his tune quickly and said with a smile, "Commander, this, if they don't come, won't all our preparations be in vain?"

The military commander who claimed to be the commander also frowned and looked at the hay balls, rolling logs and stones prepared on the mountain ridge. He clicked his tongue and cursed: "My mother's feet! You are very clever!"

The group of soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain were obviously not planning to move forward today and were already setting up camp. If we wait here until tomorrow, one is that we are not sure when this group of troops will be dispatched, and the other is that if there is another group from Luoyang...

I have no advantage at all here!

Are you just going to leave empty-handed?

It’s true that I feel unwilling to do so, and besides, it’s hard to explain if I just go back empty-handed!

The military marquis spat angrily and said, "Go and call Ergouzi, Heizi, and Dachazi to come over, and ask the brothers to find a place to take turns to rest first, and wait for the night... to fuck!"

Night fell quickly.

There was silence all around. Apart from the chirping of some insects, the only sound that could be heard was the rushing sound of the Yellow River water.

Fei Qian's camp was chosen under a large protruding rock by the river. Due to the lack of manpower, there was no way to build a camp with wooden walls like a regular march. He could only use carts to lean against the rocks to form a wall. Let the horse lie down in the middle.

The bonfire in the car wall has been extinguished, and some sparks are still flickering.

It seemed that everyone was resting, even the soldiers standing sentry on the roof of the car were swaying...

Some figures quietly came up in the darkness. One of them took out an arrow, put on his bow, and pointed it at the sentry on the roof of the car. Only a soft bang of the bowstring was heard, and the sentry on the roof of the car. Before he even had time to say a word, he fell off the cart with a thud!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of black figures stood up from the ground, half-bent, holding sharp blades with flashing cold light, and moved around to touch the car wall...

Suddenly, several "click" sounds were heard. At some point, a layer of finely chopped dry firewood was spread on the ground. The sound of stepping on it was particularly obvious in the quiet night.

These few sounds were like commands. More than twenty rockets were suddenly shot out from the top of the big rock, and they hit the ground. I don't know what ignited them, but they quickly ignited the dry firewood on the ground, and a few firewood found in the darkness were fired. Ten people can be photographed clearly! Several attackers hurriedly tried to stamp them out, but Que couldn't be stamped out no matter what. His clothes were burned by the flames, and he screamed and hid aside to beat them. The scene suddenly became chaotic...

For a moment, the form was reversed, light and dark exchanged!

The attackers standing in the fire couldn't see where the bows and arrows were coming from, and they couldn't tell how to prepare themselves. In the blink of an eye, they heard several screams, and several people were already shot down by the bows and arrows in the darkness. .

The attacker shouted, and the people who were caught by the fire rushed forward in a swarm, hoping to take advantage of the large number of people to get into the car formation and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

But I didn't expect that just after rushing forward for a dozen steps, someone fell to the ground inexplicably and howled miserably...

"Be careful of caltrops!" someone shouted. The attackers quickly slowed down their pace and used swords, spears and other weapons to quickly move left and right on the ground, hoping to use this to push away the thorns on the ground.

But even so, there are still some people who stepped on something again and hugged their legs and screamed in pain...

And in this way, the speed of the entire forward assault will be reduced.

"Fire arrows! Fire arrows! Shoot rockets!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the attackers quickly asked the archers behind to attack with rockets, in an attempt to suppress the people in the car formation and on the rocks.

But before the archers in the rear row of the attackers could fire two or three rounds, more than twenty soldiers in armor quietly appeared from behind them. They had already touched the archers' backs and shouted. , rushed into the team of archers in the blink of an eye, and was caught off guard, causing the archers to cry and run away...

The leader of the attackers was shocked and angry. He called out, led a dozen people, and rushed towards the soldiers who were killing his archers with their swords in hand.

The commander took a few steps and rushed to the leading soldier's side. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he held the knife in both hands and slashed his neck from top to bottom...

Her eyes suddenly glowed, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, looking contented.

Seeing her expression, Dong Zhuo thought: "To see her so happy, no matter how great the hardships are, it is worth enduring for her."

Suddenly, Diao Chan began to sing softly.

Dong Zhuo's chest felt like a heavy blow. What he heard her singing was the Jiuyuan pastoral song. He heard the tune "Sisters, go up to the mountains to herd the sheep" coming out of her mouth. It was the Bingzhou pastoral song that Lu Bu taught her...
