Soldiers come to the world

In the dark night, a team of more than 600 grain and grass vehicles drove along the official road to the northwest. A total of [-] Jingzhou soldiers guarded the grain and grass convoy.

Leading dozens of cavalry to clear the way, looking around vigilantly, spies gallop back on horseback from time to time, reporting the road conditions ahead.

Liu Jing was at the back of the team, riding his horse slowly. On a hay cart beside him, Wei Yan was lying on the haystack. He was so bloody and bloody that he couldn't walk, and he didn't want to stay in the barracks, so he could only lie on the grain cart.

"Bochang Wei, is your injury better?" Liu Jing asked with a smile, her tone full of concern.

"Reporting to the Marquis, it's just a flesh trauma, and you'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."

It has been nearly two hours since Wei Yan became the Boss. He has adapted to the current status, and he can finally calm down and think about some issues.

His interpersonal relationship in the army is not good, especially with his superiors. He is a well-known thorn in the army. The root cause is his arrogance. He looks down on these low-level officers and soldiers, and disdains to be with them.

Wei Yan is highly skilled in martial arts and full of strategies, but it's a pity that he didn't get the chance to stand out at the wrong time, just like a phoenix among the pheasants, with a dull coat and lost the aura of the king of birds.

But today he was rescued by Liu Jing by accident and became a boss under Liu Jing.

Although the official position was downgraded by one level, Wei Yan saw hope. The military marquis he followed was no longer a mediocre villain, but also Liu Biao's nephew.

Wei Yan has also heard about Liu Jing, and even his boss whom he hates so much, sometimes they would talk about it, and even they admit that Liu Jing is the smartest among Liu's cousins ​​and nephews.

Then he Wei Yan followed Liu Jing, will he change his fate from then on?The more he thought about it, the brighter Wei Yan's heart became, and he was full of expectations for the future.

'Liu Jingsheng's sons are all idiots, maybe Mr. Jing will replace them one day. 'Wei Yan was thinking secretly.

At this time, a cavalry rushed over, bowed his hands to Liu Jing and said, "Mr. Jun, General Deng has an invitation!"

Liu Jing nodded, and smiled at Wei Yan: "Recover your body as soon as possible, and don't miss the opportunity of this battle."

"Thank you, Marquis, for your concern."

Liu Jing clamped the horse between his legs and ran towards the front of the team. Wei Yan watched him walk away and sighed softly. He needed to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, and he didn't want to be a burden, but he couldn't be in a hurry.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Not long after, Liu Jing caught up with Deng Wu, the tooth general at the front of the team. Deng Wu was a young general, about 27 or [-] years old, and he came from the Deng family of Xinye. Shrewd and capable, Wenpin is a highly valued right-hand man.

"General Deng, do you have anything to do with me?" Liu Jing reined in his horse and asked.

Deng Wu pointed at the dark mountains in the distance with his horsewhip, and said with a smile: "We are about to enter the hilly area ahead, with dense forests on both sides, it is easy to be ambushed, so I remind you to be careful."

Liu Jing glanced at the mountains in the distance, and immediately turned around and ordered: "All vehicles are covered with tarpaulins."

The tarpaulin was used to prevent the enemy from attacking the grain carts with rockets, especially the ox carts full of hay. Soldiers got busy and covered the carts tightly with thick tarpaulins.

After being busy for a while, he calmed down again. Deng Wu smiled and pointed to the county seat in the southwest direction behind him: "That is Xinye County, and my home is in the county seat."

Xinye County is not far away, only about three or four miles apart. The long city wall can be seen clearly in the moonlight. Liu Jing stared at it for a moment and asked, "I heard that General Deng is from the Deng clan in Xinye?"

"It can't be called Xinye Deng."

Deng Wu smiled and said: "Our Deng family is very big, distributed all over Nanyang County, the ancestral hall is in Wancheng, Xinye Deng's is just one of them, there are about a dozen houses, but it is still a direct line, the head of the Wancheng Deng family , is my eldest grandfather, and Deng Yi, the governor of Jingzhou, is also a member of our clan."

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly thought of someone, and asked with a smile: "Is there a person named Deng Ai in the Deng family?"

Deng Wu was startled, and turned to look at Liu Jing in surprise, "Which Deng Ai is it?"

"It's just that he stutters a little, and his articulation is not clear. He should still be a child now."

Deng Wu chuckled, "How does Mr. Jing know Gouzi?"

Now Liu Jing was stunned, it turned out that Deng Wu was Deng Ai's father, unexpected!just this. ． ． ．Let yourself explain how he knew Deng Ai.

Liu Jing's thoughts turned very quickly, and he said with a smile: "I heard that when I was chatting with General Zilong, I heard that your son is talented and intelligent, and he has a good memory for reading, and he is known as a child prodigy in Xinye."

Anyone would be very happy to hear others praise their son. Deng Wu is indeed proud of his son. Although his son Deng Ai can't speak clearly, he is extremely intelligent and has a good memory for reading. He has been hailed as a child prodigy since he was three years old. He is already eight years old and has a great reputation in Xinye County. If Zhao Yun told Liu Jing, it would be reasonable.

"Mr. Jing is too much for the award. Gouzi is just a little smart. I hope he can be both civil and military when he grows up, and become a pillar of talent."

As the two talked, the convoy slowly drove into the valley. There were low hills on both sides. The hills were no more than a dozen feet high. The mountains were round and gentle, and densely covered with forests.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The soldiers of the Jingzhou Army raised their vigilance one after another, holding shields in their hands, watching both sides of the mountain road. Liu Jing's [-] troops were in charge of the rear section, stretching for about a mile, and guarding [-] grain carts.

Inside the cart, Wei Yan frowned. He had a lot of experience and felt that the terrain was unfavorable. This kind of terrain was too easy to be ambushed.

"General Liu!"

He called out to Liu Hu in a low voice. Liu Hu is the head of the village and his immediate superior. At this time, Liu Hu no longer rode a horse and followed the team on foot. Looking at the woods on the mountain, he didn't hear Wei Yan calling him.

"General Liu!"

Wei Yan yelled again, Liu Hu heard it, and turned to stare at Wei Yan, "You called me?"

He has a prejudice against Wei Yan and always thinks he is a thorn, but Liu Jing forbids him to treat Wei Yan badly, Liu Hu can only express his dislike for Wei Yan in his own way, that is, forbid him to call himself a tiger.

Young soldiers in the army call him Brother Hu, while older soldiers call him Tiger. He likes it very much, but generally hates being called Chief Liu or General Liu. Only people he doesn't like call him that.

"What's the matter?" Liu Hu asked loudly again.

"General Liu, I suggest that the soldiers should stand on both sides of the livestock. Covering the cart with tarpaulin is not afraid of rockets, but the livestock has no protection, and it will be bad if they are shot with cold arrows."

Liu Hu thought for a while, and this is true. If the livestock were shot to death, the grain truck would be unable to move. This is a good suggestion. His impression of Wei Yan immediately improved, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "You Great suggestion!"

He immediately ordered the soldiers around him to "follow the livestock and block them with shields."

The good plan spread quickly, and not long after, almost all the village chiefs ordered soldiers to protect the livestock. There were more than [-] ox carts and [-] soldiers. Although the livestock could not be completely covered, there were soldiers following the livestock. Besides, the protection of livestock has been strengthened a lot.

"Old Wei!"

Once Liu Hu changed his image of people, he would become very affectionate. Even though before having a cup of tea, he still muttered in his heart how this thorny Wei followed him, but at this moment, he forgot to treat Wei Yan. and affectionately called him Old Wei.

"You said that if there is an ambush by Cao Jun, will it be cavalry?"

Wei Yan smiled slightly: "If it's cavalry, don't worry, because there will never be more than 200."

"Why?" Liu Hu asked puzzled.

"Because cavalry are not suitable for fighting in forest roads, they are more suitable for assaulting in the wilderness. If there are more than [-] cavalry, they will definitely attack us in the wilderness. Only small-scale sentry cavalry will lie in ambush in the woods due to the small number of troops, so , if there is an ambush, it can only be infantry, and at most a small amount of cavalry."

Liu Hu suddenly realized that he had never understood these actual combat experiences, and now Wei Yan taught him, and he sincerely praised, "Old Wei, you really have it."

Wei Yan also laughed. He found that this immediate boss was very simple and honest, and he had no city power, but Liu Jing made him feel a little scared. It was a pleasure to hang out with this tiger, and he began to like this Liu Hu a little bit. up.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The forest road in this valley is about ten miles long, and the trees along the way are densely shaded, covering the road. A dangerous atmosphere enveloped the forest road. Although the spies did not find that Cao Jun was in ambush, all the soldiers felt a little uneasy. Cheng became a little irritable.

At this time, a cavalry shouted in front: "General, the road ahead is blocked by a big tree."

Deng Wu and Liu Jing looked at each other and shouted at the same time, "No!"

There is a big tree blocking the way ahead, where did the spy go?

Liu Jing said anxiously: "I will go to the rear!"

Without waiting for Deng Wu's consent, he turned his horse's head and ran to the rear of the team, shouting: "The whole army stops, there is an ambush, be alert!"

The team suddenly became extremely tense, and all the soldiers stared at both sides. At this moment, a coachman screamed, was shot in the neck, and fell from the bullock cart, followed by screams, One after another, they were all the coachmen driving the carriages. After a round of cold arrows, more than [-] coachmen were hit by arrows.

At the same moment when the cold arrow was fired, a long stretch of hundreds of rockets shot out from the woods, like dense sparks blooming in the night sky, across the night sky, and shot straight at the bullock cart.

But the bullock cart was covered with a thick tarpaulin, which was specially treated to make it thick and tight, waterproof and fireproof. When the rocket hit the bullock cart, it could not ignite the grain and grass, and the soldiers immediately put it out with a bamboo broom.

But in the rear, an ox cart loaded with fodder was still set on fire, and soon the flames shot up into the sky. A frightened ox broke the shaft of the cart and ran wildly, causing the team to become a little confused.

At this moment, Liu Jing galloped up on his horse and stabbed with his spear. The impact of the horse made the spear extremely powerful. The sharp point of the spear pierced the bull's head. The bull fell to the ground and died. Liu Jing drew his gun and shouted: " Everyone is not allowed to be confused, gather around me!"

The chaotic soldiers calmed down a bit. A dozen people overturned the burning cart and separated the hay that had not been ignited. The soldiers approached Liu Jing one after another. The arrows suddenly stopped and became extremely quiet, like a rainstorm The moment before the coming.

Suddenly, shouts of killing erupted in the woods on both sides, and more than a thousand Cao Jun soldiers hidden in the woods swarmed out to kill the grain convoy in the middle section of the Jingzhou Army.
