Zheng Anping judged that the people on the opposite side must have been waiting for a long time and saw no one coming, so they were ready to withdraw their troops and go home. He looked at the sun and found that if it set further to the west, there would be no sunlight in the depths of the canyon.

You can rely on the cover of the mountain shadow and move forward boldly.

He expressed his thoughts, and the doctor expressed his willingness to go down and control the troops, leaving Zheng Anping and Chen Si to observe on the top of the mountain. The two parties agreed on the contact information and password, and the doctor went down the mountain. Soon, the doctor began to shake his halberd and grow

There was a war robe hanging on the halberd; Zheng Anping had also taken off his war robe and hung it on the halberd. Now he shook his halberd in response, and the communication code between the two parties was connected. Zheng Anping met at about the same time, opposite him

There was no one on the mountain anymore, so he stuck his halberd upright on the top of the mountain next to him. He shook the halberd at the bottom of the mountain and saw the halberd with the shirt on it moving forward. Although Zheng Anping was very close, if

Whether there was such a long halberd, he could not clearly see the movement of the soldiers below. This made Zheng Anping very satisfied. So Zheng Anping held on to the halberd, and Chen Si was mainly responsible for observing. The two of them also ran forward alternately along the hillside, moving

Arriving at the next observation point, Chen Si introduced the situation he observed to Zheng Anping, pointed out another observation point, and ran to that observation point. Zheng Anping still held the halberd

He stuck it beside him and looked forward carefully. The halberd below was also advancing rapidly. Chen Si observed for a while, then turned around and waved. Zheng Anping picked up the halberd and ran towards Chen Si's position.

Moving forward like this, about an hour later, they had advanced nearly ten miles. The canyon occupied by the crowd just now appeared in front of them.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Zheng Anping saw no one at the mouth of the canyon, and they had probably withdrawn. Chen Si also became cautious, bent over, lowered his body and ran forward. Suddenly, Chen Si lay down on the spot and turned around at the same time.

He made a gesture. Zheng Anping immediately put the halberd down, raised it again, shook it, and put it down again. The halberd at the foot of the mountain also shook it to express receipt. Zheng Anping made a gesture to Chen Si and asked if he could

Unable to go up, Chen Si responded with gestures, "Yes." Zheng Anping crouched, carefully used the hillside and rocks to cover himself, and ran to Chen Si's side.

Looking forward from here, there is a canyon on the left and right of the canyon four or five miles away. Although no one can be seen, one can clearly feel that there are people hiding in it. Especially when one walks through the uninhabited wilderness,

That feeling is especially clear.

Zheng Anping asked Chen Sidao quietly: "What do you see?"

Chen Si also replied quietly: "There is an ambush in the valley!"

Zheng Anping asked: "What do you think?"

Chen Si pointed to the horizon and said: "The dust is not clean."

Zheng Anping looked to the west and saw light and shadow fluctuations in the canyon. Zheng Anping could even pass through the area with fluctuations and estimated that the ambush was about one mile long and should number in the thousands.

Zheng Anping looked at the sky and saw that the sun had completely set. He was very curious as to how these people knew that they had entered the mountain. It was so late and they were still setting up an ambush in the valley. This was not at all like the consciousness that a group of farmers should have.

, the other party must have experienced commanders and a large group of grassroots officers who can control the civilian army.

Zheng Anping thought of the old man's behavior before leaving this morning. The old man should have known that someone with a halberd was stationed here, so he issued a warning. Ordinary farmers would not own such a complicated and expensive weapon as a halberd.

Yes, the one who owns the halberd must be a member of the army, and his level is not low!

Zheng Anping felt that he was riding a tiger and was trapped. If he continued to move forward, he would naturally fall into a trap; but if he quit, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and he would probably be discovered by the enemy and suffer losses. The best way is to waste time here and wait for the enemy to lose patience.

Zheng Anping raised his halberd, then tilted it back to signal the doctor to come up. Soon the doctor climbed up the hillside and whispered: "The ambush is complete, what's ahead?"

Zheng Anping pointed to the canyon in front and said: "There are ambushes hidden in the canyon on the left and right, it's suitable for me to see!"

The doctor was startled and looked into the canyon. It was quiet with no movement, so he asked: "It seems like there is nothing?"

Zheng Anping said: "Hidden very well, silent, and occasionally seen by us, it is a leak."

The doctor didn't expect him and asked, "What can I do?"

Zheng Anping said: "Just wait quietly!" The doctor understood and quietly went down the mountain.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that several figures appeared at the entrance of the valley. They looked here a few times. Due to the darkness in the valley and the cover of grass and rocks, no human traces could be seen. Then several more people came down from the mountain, probably sending out lookout posts. This is

Several people met together, exchanged a few words with each other, and a large group of people walked out from the valleys on both sides. Five miles away, not only Zheng Anping and others could see clearly, but also the Qin army hiding behind the mountains, rocks, and trees could be clearly seen.

Although the doctor had already conveyed some news to them before, when they suddenly saw so many people ambushing them, everyone broke into a cold sweat and couldn't help but crouch down.

From a distance, I could see the crowd lining up, someone lecturing them, and then turning back and driving out of the valley. When Chen Si saw them leaving, he ducked out and rushed to another observation point quickly; Shao Qing, without waiting for Zheng Anping to follow,

He rushed to the next observation point. Zheng Anping didn't wait for Chen Si's gesture, and didn't dare to move rashly. He just waited on the spot. He watched Chen Si jump up and down, and quickly disappeared. After a while, smoke from the stove appeared in the distance.

Xiao Niao, each family started to light up the fire to cook.

Chen Si quickly ran back and told Zheng Anping that he had seen the situation at the mouth of the valley. Now all the people had withdrawn from the valley and returned home. There was a larger city outside the valley, bigger than the city in Jidi.

It is bigger and stronger. The people in the city are very relaxed now. If they rush in unexpectedly, it is possible to capture the city. But there are too few people now. After the backup can catch up, they can rush in.

During the discussion, the doctor climbed up the mountain again and told the two of them that a male doctor had led 2,000 people into the valley and camped in the small settlement where they lived before. The roads and commanding heights on all sides had been completely blocked, and a team of soldiers had been sent out.

Famous officials found this place.

Zheng Anping and Chen Si went down the mountain to see the officials. As the sky was getting dark, they could no longer observe anything so far up the mountain.

This official was the magistrate of Qianxian County. When he was providing logistics for Bao Xiedao, he had an encounter with Zheng Anping. They met at this time and admired each other. Zheng Anping reported what he heard and saw today and proposed that he could

The person who mobilized thousands of people to set up an ambush was probably Yan Yu; there was a large city outside the valley entrance, which was defended by experienced generals.

Chen Si reported what he saw. The big city was indeed tall and strong, but if it were not prepared for a sudden attack, it might be captured in one fell swoop. But now, every family in the city was tired from having to stay in the wilderness all day.

Defenses may be lax.

After hearing the report, the official officials asked Zheng Anping and Chen Si to lead them to check it out in person. This shocked the two of them, and they repeatedly said, "It's dangerous! It's dangerous!" The official officials said: "Although I am a county magistrate, I am out of my mind.

When I was in the army, I knew the battle formations well, and I couldn't prove it without personal experience. Although I am getting older, I am willing to compete with my brothers."

Seeing what the official doctor said, Zheng Anping, Chen Si and the doctor followed the official doctor to explore the valley entrance with all their hairpins and hairpins. Others went out to the crisscrossed valley to lift the alert.

, rest by the river, no fire is allowed, you can only eat millet soaked in water and stir-fried.

A group of more than ten officials and officials moved forward alternately with covert movements, until they arrived at the mountain in front of the valley entrance. As expected, every family's stove fire was flourishing, and people were eating in the courtyard. At the mountain crossings on both sides, no sentry posts were found.

In the city, there were daily night watchmen walking back and forth, banging wooden sticks in their hands.

The city is only five miles away from the valley entrance. In the dark night, you can see that the city gate has been closed and there are people patrolling the city wall. Obviously, that is the focus of defense.

The official observed for about half an hour before signaling for everyone to retreat. He retreated to the intersection of the valley and sent out sentries in all directions. The official called these ten people together and said: "I will go back and ask the official to lead the troops."

Come, about two thousand people. Go to the mouth of the valley and set fire to drive the people. You and others should mingle among them. If you see someone attacking on the city, you may open the door to welcome the people to help the city defender. You and others will follow the crowd in and wait for the opportunity to open the city.

Open the gate to welcome the Duke and the officials into the city. If this plan is successful, the city will be destroyed. Or if it does not accept the crowd, then there will be few defenders. We will take advantage of the situation outside the city. When the army comes to attack, the city will be conquered."

The dozen or so people heard this plan and had no other objections. So the official led a dozen or so people back to the camp, and the remaining people stayed in place to provide backup for Zheng Anping. If the sneak attack failed and he was discovered and killed,

These people are responsible for response and protection.

At midnight, when everything was quiet, the Duke personally arrived with 1,500 people, and the remaining 500 people stayed in place as backup. Zheng Anping and other 100 people had already taken off their military uniforms, wearing only short brown clothes and holding spears upside down.

The shadow entered the valley entrance. The official gave an order, and all the troops lit torches and rushed towards the valley entrance. At the same time, they set fire to all the weeds on the mountains on both sides and shouted loudly. The people who were immersed in sleep panicked, and most of them were at a loss.

Torches were also lit on the city. So the people who were still awake immediately ran towards the city and asked to enter the city. Zheng Anping and others followed behind this group of people, hiding in the shadows.

At this time, a neatly finished officer appeared on the city. He looked down the city and suddenly said something loudly. The people below the city turned back after hearing the sound, holding wooden sticks, and rushed towards Zheng Anping and his party. Zheng Anping

Someone discovered an obvious flaw in Qingzhi. Although he didn't know what it was, he had to shout loudly: "Array!" He turned the halberd he was holding upside down, raised the halberd with his hand, knocked over a few people, and retreated while fighting.
Chapter completed!
