lying down

Xu Shiji's brows that had just opened were furrowed again, and he patted his forehead with a palm.

He thought about what the emperor ordered all night, but completely forgot what Ouyang and himself said.

The soldier froze for a moment, then turned around and ran out of the tent.The habitual obedience in his bones prevented him from asking a second time.

Xu Shiji had some expectation in his heart. Could this kid disappear from under his nose with this group of veterans who have been rebellious for many years?If so, what kind of tactics will they use to hide the truth?

Difficult, too difficult!Although there are a lot of people in my big camp, sometimes we are slightly negligent.However, there are sentry towers all around the camp, and there are constant patrols, and there are soldiers patrolling the camp day and night.It is simply impossible for them to escape under the eyes of thousands of people!

He simply took off the armor he was wearing half of his body and put it aside, and sat cross-legged in front of the short table around the screen.From the short table, he picked up Shangwen's teapot and brewed a cup of coarse tea, and gently shook it between his nostrils to let the slightly strong tea smell waft in.

His mind gradually calmed down, and he laughed at himself: When did he care about every step of this boy Ouyang?Although the bet with that kid last night was a bit abrupt, I also felt a kind of ease that I haven't had in many years.

"Hehe—" He grinned and drank the tea in one gulp, a warm current pierced through his heart.

Xu Shiji seemed to feel that the stimulation of the low-quality tea was not enough, and was about to drink again.But he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the tent.The curtain was lifted, and four figures walked in wrapped in the cold wind and snowflakes.

"Captain, the camp of the special independent brigade is empty!" the guard sent hurriedly stepped forward to report, with doubts and surprises in his eyes. "I rushed to their camp just now and checked it out after finding no one there. The tent was messy, as if they were walking in a hurry, which was very different from usual. Then I asked the nearby camps, but no one knew about them. No one has seen their whereabouts! When I came back, I stopped by and invited the generals in charge of the camp defense and night patrol, and you will see the commander..."

Xu Shiji's hand stopped in the air moved again. He continued to pour tea into the cup and asked aloud: "You are in charge of patrolling the camp, have you found anything unusual? Have you ever seen a special brigade?"

Those three people looked at each other, recalled a bit, and said in unison: "Captain, not at all!"

Hearing this, Xu Shiji put down the teapot, but instead of picking up the teacup, he looked up to the sky and stroked his beard, narrowing his eyes gradually, thinking carefully.At this time, there were already great waves in his heart, and there were a total of 60 people!Not three or five people, nor a dozen people!Where can it be so easy to just leave without being discovered?As the saying goes, there is a car in the front, and there is a rut in the back, unless the 60 people have grown wings and flew out of the camp overnight, or all of them have mastered light skills and jumped out of the camp, but that is impossible at all!

He slowly got up and paced in the empty tent, thinking about other possibilities.Although the four people standing below were wondering how the special brigade disappeared, they didn't know why the governor was so unpredictable and troubled.

The four of them were thinking about it when they suddenly heard Xu Shiji asking urgently: "Have you ever visited the ground of the camp? Is there a tunnel leading to the outside of the camp?"

The personal guard shook his head and said: "Captain, I have already checked, and there are less than 60 of them in one brigade, the camp is very small, there is no tunnel at all!"

"This is strange! How could there be such a strange thing! Uh... Isn't their camp next to the wooden wall for outer defense? Have you ever found traces of climbing on it?" Xu Shiji didn't give up. Judging from his many years of experience in the army, this is like a dream.

The guard was ashamed and said: "Commander, I checked this too! I have been with you for many years, so naturally I will not let go of every possibility, and there is no trace of the wall within ten feet of the two nearby sentry towers!"

"It's amazing! It's amazing! This kid really wants to win the bet, wait for your order!" Xu Shiji was shocked by Ouyang's method, but he didn't want to admit defeat.

The faces of the four of them tightened, and they all clasped their fists and bowed, listening quietly.

Xu Shiji paused for a moment, then said solemnly: "Send out all the scouts in our army, and let me investigate within fifty miles, no! If the situation is within a hundred miles, the target is the special brigade! If you find them, you only need to contact their brigade. Shuai Ouyang said: 'The governor is waiting for you to drink tea in the camp', and you must not confront each other! By the way, if you are short of manpower, choose the best supplement from the vanguard, and report every half an hour! Hurry up!"

"Obey!" The four took the order and rushed out quickly...

The sun was cloudy, the wind was violent and the snow was fierce.

The entire Bingzhou camp was covered in white snow that had fallen for nearly two hours. The soldiers in the camp were eating, but suddenly they heard the sound of galloping horses in the camp, and the sound of hooves was as urgent as raindrops.After that, the soldiers of the vanguard battalion who were eating were transferred away by the whole team.The big camp suddenly became noisy, everyone was talking about what happened.

"Hey! Don't eat, don't eat, have you ever heard of it?"

"What did you hear? Talk halfway, who knows what you want to say!"

"Hey, have you ever heard about the independent brigade? Just now, the scouts have gone out, and half of the forward battalion has been sent to search around our camp for people from the special brigade! I heard that after waking up , their entire NO.60 people have disappeared!"

"Special brigade? Another special brigade? They are so popular, you can hear about them every day."

"What? No. 60 people are gone? Did no one find out!?"

......

Ouyang has been lying six feet below the ground for more than two hours, the soil on his eyelids is getting heavier and heavier, and his eyes hurt from the pressure.The most uncomfortable thing was the nostrils. He had blocked the nostrils with rags in advance. After lying on the ground for such a long time, his nose would occasionally inhale dirt and gravel during breathing, almost suffocating.He tried his best to keep his breathing steady, not to put more pressure on his lungs.He even tried his best to recall the scene of the underwater training in the special camp in his previous life, so as to recall the memory of certain cells in his body.

But all this was useless, he felt his own insignificance, just buried in the ground for more than two hours, he already felt that he was about to die.Everything was silent, not a single sound came into his ears, he seemed to be isolated from the world, and every part of his body was out of the way it should be.His hands and feet were already sore and numb due to the long-term immobility, and he could feel the feeling of the heart pumping blood out and rushing into the blood vessels to flow through the hands and feet every time the aorta beat.

At least I am still alive, living in the "grave" I designed.

Thinking of this, he wanted to grin to laugh at himself.But the mud covered his entire face made him give up this idea: as soon as he opened his mouth, countless mud would pour into his mouth to suffocate him to death, or he would try his best to escape from the six-foot thick layer of your soil, Later, he was discovered by Zepao in the camp of Bingzhou.

"Persevere, maybe it won't be long!" He encouraged himself in his heart, let the three words "special forces" keep stimulating his nerves, and kept himself more awake.

He wasn't worried about his own situation in his heart, what troubled him the most was that he didn't know what happened to the soldiers who were lying six feet underground like him within a radius of ten feet! "Can they hold on?" He wasn't sure, maybe his eight brothers could do it, maybe his two teams could do it, maybe the fire chief he had told him could do it, but could those ordinary soldiers do it? ?

The air became colder and colder, and some water droplets even flowed into the mouth along the shrub "air duct" in the mouth, moistening the dry mouth and irritated throat, and then disappeared into the lungs.

cold!It's like swallowing an ice cube in one gulp, from the inside to the outside, from the bottom to the top, there is no place where there is no air.

"Boom-"

"Boom boom-"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom —"

A rhythmic muffled sound came from the ground!

Ouyang wrinkled his head fiercely, opened his ears to listen and judge.

"Dong dong dong dong—" more muffled sounds sounded, as if the big drum was covered with thick steps before hitting it.

"It's only now? It's too late!" Ouyang felt a hint of joy in his heart. He already knew what the long-awaited rhythmic voice was, and the joy gradually spread throughout his body, until his hands and feet became sore and numb.A more violent stimulation came back from his hands and feet, making him happy in this pain.

He took a long breath through the bush tube, and then spit out the large amount of exhaust gas that his lungs had rapidly eliminated due to excitement and excitement, through the bush tube, slowly and steadily.He could imagine that as long as he breathed too hard, a line of mist would definitely be emitted from the mouth of the bushes on the ground, which would be fatal!

The muffled sound lasted for nearly thirty breaths, but in Ouyang's mind it seemed to last for a century.As the muffled sound faded away, Ouyang was relieved that his group of people had not been discovered!

It wasn't long after he was rejoicing, another muffled noise came from the ground.The sound is lighter, but it sounds like more volume!

"It's broken!" Ouyang was worried for a while.He didn't expect Xu Shiji to send many infantry to search. Although he and his brothers were hiding six feet underground, after all, the vein door - "shrub breathing tube" was exposed among the camouflaged weeds and bushes. However, as long as one soldier pays careful attention, his trick of deceiving the world will come to naught, and the first special career of himself and a group of soldiers will be cast a shadow!This will be extremely detrimental to this group of soldiers. After all, the special brigade has only been established for a few days, and the foundation of confidence is not solid at all!

The sound of footsteps on the ground approached, and it was already above his head.The iron heart honed by Ouyang II actually became tense. He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists in the soil, his cheeks kept agitating, and he hoped in his heart: "Go quickly! Go quickly!"

"Pfft!" He felt the soil in his lower abdomen press down suddenly, and his lower abdomen tightened suddenly.The muffled "pop" sound was like a sharp object piercing the soil.

He guessed right, at this moment on the ground where he was lying, there was a soldier stabbing a spear into the deep snow, leaning on the spear in one hand, sweeping the snow with the other hand, half kneeling on the ground to search for any suspicious footprints.

Ouyang's heart was about to jump into his throat, even if his airway was blocked, he wouldn't be so suffocated!

When he was nervous, he suddenly felt the bush breathing tube being moved twice, pinched and released, loosened and pinched again.He quickly closed his breath, waiting for the next moment to come!

"Boom—boom, boom, boom!" The sound of footsteps that were originally slow and scattered suddenly gathered together, spreading towards a certain direction!
