Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 227, the autistic Sima Xin

Seeing that no one appeared in front of him, Zhang Liang felt a little anxious, afraid that his plan would be discovered by others, and that suppressing the bandits was just a cover to trick them out of the mountains and attack Chengdu.

While Zhang Liang waited and waited, Sima Xin was sending people to search for an ambush in the nearby forest. While Sima Xin was waiting, soldiers covered in blood came back. Sima Xin's eyes flashed, and he I know there must be an ambush.

"General, we hunted down a black bear and a tiger." The soldier said excitedly.

Then several soldiers came back carrying a black bear and a tiger. Seeing that there were only tigers and black bears, the light in Sima Xin's eyes disappeared. Instead, there was a deep self-doubt, which he felt should not be.

Looking at the canyon in front of him, this is an excellent ambush location, so he asked people to stop, and sent the lieutenant and his elite to go up the mountain to check to see if there was an ambush. It turned out that there was no ambush on both sides of the canyon, but the spies said that there was no ambush ahead. But there are people ambushing in the col.

The deputy general proposed to let Sima Xin go up the mountain, but Sima Xin hesitated. Sima Xin thought it was a trap. Anyone who knows the art of war knows that the best place to ambush is to choose a high point, which can effectively prevent an ambush, but the opponent not only He gave up the valley and exposed his back, which made Sima Xin think that it was a trap, in order to let him lead people up the mountain, send people to surround the mountain, cut off his food and water, and send them away. Trapped to death on the mountain.

In order to prove his conjecture, Sima Xin sent people to check the surrounding forests. Originally, he thought he would find a large number of bandits in ambush, but the reality slapped him hard.

"General, let's go up the mountain. There must be no ambushes nearby. If there were, we would have been attacked long ago when we were stationed." The deputy general said.

"Take someone up the mountain again to see if there are any traps." Sima Xin said without doubt.

The lieutenant general looked at Sima Xin's appearance, and helplessly led the people up the mountain again, carefully inspecting every place, even under the rocks and ant nests, and found no traps. After hearing the report from the lieutenant general, Sima Xin completely shut himself up.

Looking at the valley, Sima Xin began to doubt the art of war he had learned. He felt that he had learned a fake art of war. The first large-scale actual combat made Sima Xin doubt himself. taught.

"I'll take half of the people up the mountain. You stay where you are. If someone is ambushing you, you can support them." Sima Xin said.

Looking at Sima Xin who was overly cautious, the lieutenant really wanted to say something, general, you are facing a group of low-level bandits. His orders are waiting at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Sima Xin was riding a horse on the top of the mountain, and the sun in the sky made his armor reflect a dazzling white light. The soldiers around him held bows and crossbows in their hands, and pointed their sharp arrows at the bandits below.

Sima Xin's eyes were full of puzzlement, he didn't understand why those below exposed the younger generation to him?Are you looking down on him?Sima Xin, who really couldn't figure it out, didn't think about it any more, this is a military merit bestowed by God, don't let it go in vain.

"The crossbowmen are at the front. After the three waves of arrow rain, the army presses up and whispers an order not to disturb the people below." Sima Xin whispered to the messengers beside him.

"No!" The orderly went down to convey the order.

Zhang Liang looked at the ring-shaped valley below, and then at the canyon in the distance. As the sun moved, the shadows under Zhang Liang's feet also moved.

Looking at the shadow under his feet, Zhang Liang's pupils constricted suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the high mountain behind him. They ambushed the Qin army here in the col, but they forgot one thing, that is, they were also in an ambush circle, and they were able to ambush them The place is the hillsides on both sides of the canyon.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang felt chills all over his body like falling into an ice cave, and shouted loudly

"retreat!"

Because of fear, Zhang Liang's voice was no longer as gentle as before, but very sharp.

The 2000 people in ambush looked at Zhang Liang with a sharp voice at the same time. They didn't understand why Zhang Liang ordered to retreat. Their order was to ambush the Qin army here.

"Did something happen to Mr. Zhang Liang?" the third elder's guard asked.

"Never mind the reason, get people to retreat quickly, otherwise we will all be buried here." Zhang Liang said excitedly.

Looking at Zhang Liang's appearance, the guards still hesitated. Now that the Third Elder is leading people to attack Chengdu, if they can't restrain the defenders from the city to suppress the bandits, then the Third Elder's people will not be able to fight against the [-] army at all.

While Zhang Liang and the guards were still struggling, the Qin army on the mountain was ready to fight.

"Twenty steps down, no one will be let go." Sima Xin said coldly.

Sima Xin's eyes were extremely indifferent. In his eyes, the bandits below were no different from dead people. He originally thought it would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect it to be a blessing from heaven. Such a condescending position, a wave of arrows rained Eighty percent of the people under the charge will die.

Looking at Zhang Liang, who couldn't give up orders, he anxiously pulled the guard's collar and pointed to the position of the mountain behind and said

"The location here is too dangerous, and we must evacuate immediately. If the Qin army occupies the mountain, we will only have a dead end."

Zhang Liang looked at the top of the mountain, and a dazzling white light shone on the top of the mountain. Before the guards on the side could react, he shouted
"There is an ambush!"

Although it was reminded by Zhang Liang, it was too late, Sima Xin on the top of the mountain shouted

"Shoot arrows!!"

Following Sima Xin's order, the rain of arrows shot towards the col below. There were no trees or shelters on the top of the col. Facing the rain of arrows, they were like targets, without any chance of escape. Looking at the sharp arrows As the arrows fell, the bandits below were already in a mess. With the rain of arrows falling, less than 2000 of the 500 people remained on the spot.

But before they had time to catch their breath, the second round of arrow rain had arrived. Zhang Liang watched as the sky rained arrows continuously waving the sharp sword in his hand, and all the arrows aimed at him were cut off. Not long after practicing martial arts, he couldn't shoot down all the arrows, a silver light flashed, and a long arrow pierced Zhang Liang's shoulder.

Zhang Liang groaned in pain as the waving long sword stopped, and countless feathered arrows shot towards him. When Zhang Liang was about to face his own death, he followed Zhang Liang's disciples from the Zhang family and swooped all the way. Press Zhang Liang under him.

More than a dozen arrows pierced his back, and the disciple spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Patriarch, don't get up, Qin Jun. Yes. Three." The disciple died before finishing his sentence.

After the rain of arrows stopped, the third wave of arrow rain arrived as expected. Sima Xin on the top of the mountain waved his hand while looking at the mountain covered with arrows and corpses.

The crossbowmen retreated, and the infantry behind the crossbowmen were already hungry and thirsty. These were all heads and military exploits. When the crossbowmen were shooting arrows, what the infantry had always hoped for was the poor accuracy of these people. One point, leave more people for them, wolves have more meat and less meat, so they can be divided one by one.

Under Sima Xin's order, the soldiers immediately ran down the mountain desperately like wolves possessed, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would lose their heads. The bandits below were shot to death by three waves of arrow rain. How many people left were stunned when they saw the wolf-like Qin army in the dark, but the soldiers of the Qin army would not give the opponent a chance to react just because the opponent was stunned.

The Qin army who rushed to the forefront brandished a long dagger and stabbed it into the chest of a bandit. Blood spurted out and sprinkled on the soldier's face. Followed the bandits who were going to rush out.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the bandits at the bottom of the mountain had been dealt with, and Sima Xin went down the mountain leisurely. Looking at the corpses, the confusion in his eyes did not dissipate, but now is not the time for him to look for answers, because he needs help It's Chengdu.

After cleaning the battlefield, Sima Xin continued to lead people to follow the map provided by Ziyou to go to Shushan to encircle and suppress the city, while the deputy general led people to support Chengdu. Zhang Liang, who was hiding in the mountain, heard that the Qin army had all left. After that, climbed up the hill again.

Taking advantage of the beginning of the third rain of arrows, Zhang Liang turned over and came to the circular mountain depression, hiding in a sunken cave the size of a person.

Looking at the two disciples of the Zhang family who had their ears cut off, tears of regret appeared in Zhang Liang's eyes. If it weren't for his scheme, perhaps these people would not have died, but Zhang Liang has no time to regret at this moment, he needs to inform the three Elder, he cut off a corner of their robes, and left here with their accessories and jade pendants.

At this time, in the dense forest outside Chengdu, the Third Elder led three thousand mountain bandits and stared at Chengdu City with all kinds of weapons in their hands.

"Brothers, good wine and good meat are waiting for us in the city of Chengdu. As long as Chengdu is conquered, the good wine, good food and beauties will be yours! Come with me!" The third elder drew out the long sword at his waist and shouted.

With the sound of horns in the dense forest, 3000 people rushed out of the dense forest and headed towards Chengdu City. Qu Yi on the city wall looked at the menacing bandits below, and without the slightest hesitation, asked the soldiers around him to hold their bows and arrows. Laman, although there are only 3000 guards on the city wall, 3000 of the 2000 are crossbowmen.

Seeing that the bandits below were within range of the crossbow, Qu Yi ordered to shoot arrows.

At this time, the people in the city were frightened by the sound of the guard bell and hid at home, but Chen Shu looked at the guards in the courtyard, drew out the sharp sword in his hand and said
"Get into trouble!"

But after Chen Shu led the people out of the Chen residence, countless sharp arrows and Chang Ge aimed at them, Ziyou sat among the soldiers, looked at Chen Shu with a smile
"Where is Patriarch Chen going?"

"It turned out to be Master Wang. I heard that bandits were attacking the city, so I specially led the guards and servants to help the county guard to guard the city." Chen Shu followed Ziyou with a smile and said, looking at the posture outside, he knew that he was captured I found out, but fortunately, I didn't really take action against the defenders, so it wasn't considered treason.

"Really? I think Patriarch Chen is harboring evil intentions, right? Someone reported that the Chen family has hidden armor, what do you say?" Ziyou said with a smile.
