Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 78 Gone Again (Second Update)

The role of the grimace mask is not only to prevent people from recognizing them, but also the most important point, to scare you before you start the fight, and then it will be easier to fight.

But now the people in black wearing grimace masks are the ones who are frightened. The news and tasks they received are not commensurate with what they saw. Unprepared, they will only be frightened and flee in a panic when they see them. Their plan is to kill all of them, and the ones behind will come and take away the carriage. Some of them are timing, and when the time is up, they will retreat immediately when the order sounds After getting a few cars, they must be withdrawn, and some people will drag them behind for cover.

They have to eat bit by bit, and there is still a long way to go.

The previous rain of arrows was to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and to reduce the number of guards beside the cart, but the soldiers guarding the cart did not move at all, and no one chased them down. The things in the car are important, and the guards dare not leave an inch.

Since it was expected, it's okay, as long as the guards don't expect them to attack so soon, they just want to be caught off guard.

But now they are the ones who are caught off guard, and they are also the ones who are in a dilemma. Seeing the team in front of them suddenly ignite the torches, they clearly see the soldiers holding shields and spears in front of them, moving in a very orderly manner. with.

Riding on his horse, Feng Wei watched the men in black with grimacing faces who were visibly sluggish and even stagnant, and finally understood what Wu Chen meant by telling them to deploy their defenses on the spot.

If they hadn't listened to Wu Chen's reminder, they should still be lazy and dragging their feet, because they didn't believe that someone would come to attack after the arrow rain just tried it out, and the news that the scouts sent back from the periphery has not yet been seen. Seeing the shadow of a person, how could they have thought that the intruder was hiding underground?
The three of them thought that there must be enemy scouts watching in the dark, so they played the show to the end, and waited until the opponent had gathered all their men, and then immediately re-armed.

The three of them didn't believe Wu Chen at first, because they put in this group of tempters on purpose, and they didn't come out of the ground suddenly. The scouts had already reported this point, and they calculated it based on the time, which was reasonable and well-founded. .

Looking at it now, Wu Chen may have misunderstood the word "understand" before.

In fact, what they understand now is not completely correct. Wu Chen thinks that these people in the Ghost Mandrill Gang are gophers and can dig holes in the ground, but they can't imagine that they can dig one out at any time. This tunnel has long existed!

The Ghost Mandrill Gang received the news of the team's departure, and began to arrange two groups of people on the ground to follow them. They counted the time and let the people on the ground feign an attack first. If it can attract soldiers to chase and kill, it is best to attract fewer guards beside the cart. The sudden arrival of people from the underground would definitely catch the team by surprise.

Their sureness of victory is the tunnel, who would have thought that there would be a tunnel in the wilderness outside Anping County?And the entrance of the cave is nearby, and everything is in the calculation of the Ghost Mandrill Gang.

That being the case, how could he not just go down the slope and wait here when he is ready? This was Wu Chen's original intention.

……

The grimacing man in black rushed halfway with a sharp sword in his hand, then stood motionless, as if he was waiting for an order, should he still attack?
The three generals stared at them with piercing eyes, as if looking at tempting prey.

It stands to reason that the archers who feinted before did not move, and they could see the changes of the team somewhat in ambush in the dense forest, but the cleverness of the three generals is that they use the torches that come and go, so that the people in the ambush can only see the general, but not Can't see the whole picture.

Wu Chen wobbled over with his hands behind his back. The distance wasn't too short. The more Wu Chen walked, the more confident he was. If he didn't make a move until now, he couldn't move anymore.

Wu Chen walked behind the three generals and said, "If they retreat in a while, don't chase them."

Cai Kang looked back and saw that it was Wu Chen, and blurted out: "Why didn't you chase after them? They are nothing more than this, and we have cavalry..."

"It's useless if you have a plane! As long as you leave this formation, whoever chases you will die. Why bother? When they go down to the cave, you can send someone to destroy the entrance of the cave. At least you can't let them use this again." Dongkou, our journey tomorrow will be easier."

After hearing this, Feng Wei got off his horse immediately, walked up to Wu Chen and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by the entrance of the cave...?"

But Wu Chen asked, "Don't you have archers? They're just standing there as targets for you, why don't you use them?"

Xu Liang groaned and said: "Who would have thought that they would not move!" Then he shouted: "The archers are ready!"

I don't know if the archer is ready, anyway, after a command, the grimacing man in black quickly turned around and hid in the darkness.

Wu Chen listened quietly.

Xu Liang and Cai Kang both got off their horses at this time, and they also walked up to Wu Chen. They asked several questions one by one. Wu Chen's face became more and more ugly. Feng Wei immediately stopped Cai Kang and Xu Liang, He said softly, "I'll ask later."

Cai Kang snorted: "Playing tricks!"

Wu Chen ignored him. He wanted to find out the approximate location, how many people went down, how many people stayed on top, whether they all left or stayed, and how many people were at the entrance of the cave...

After roughly understanding, Wu Chen turned to look at Cai Kang and asked, "What weapon is General Cai best at?"

Cai Kang raised the spear in his hand and said, "Gun!"

"How far can you throw?" Wu Chen asked.

Cai Kang proudly said: "I can throw as far as the enemy in front of me can run."

Wu Chen said, "Okay! Let's have a competition, and head in the direction where the man in black is leaving. You come first."

Wu Chen made a gesture of invitation.

Cai Kang laughed and said, "Isn't that bad? I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I was taught by a famous teacher. I have practiced three times in winter and three days in summer, and I have fought for many years. I don't know how many enemies' blood has been stained on my long spear! See, Mr. Wu It's a little thin, maybe he also came from martial arts?"

Wu Chen shook his head: "I haven't practiced before."

Cai Kang asked with a smile: "Then am I invincible?"

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know you will definitely win?" Wu Chen also asked with a smile.

"I'm also thinking about Mr. Wu's face..."

"No need! You still have to think about your own face, how can you bother others? Dare you dare to compare? Right here, in front of all the soldiers, throwing at the opposite mountain forest."

Feng Wei wanted to persuade, Wu Chen looked thin, how could he compare with Cai Kang in strength?But before he opened his mouth, Wu Chen raised his hand to stop him.

Xu Liang seemed to be looking for a step for Wu Chen, so he hurriedly said, "If Mr. Wu's business arises, we have to compete. Why don't we find a soldier who is good at long spears..."

"Why? Are you afraid that General Cai will lose face if he loses?" Wu Chen jokingly asked.

Cai Kang straightened his back and said, "Can I lose? What a big joke! But let's make it clear that it was Mr. Wu who insisted on the competition, and it was not what Cai wanted..."

"Don't worry, I won't trouble you afterwards! Whose spear can I borrow?"
