After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system
Chapter 293: All the way forward
Everyone walked along the track for several miles, turned around a small slope, and suddenly saw neat farmhouses on the side of the road.
"Colonel, there is a field here!" the soldier who first discovered the field said happily.
The neat and flat fields stretch for miles, and there are still ears of grass left from harvesting in the fields.
"There is actually a granary here!"
"It seems that I am going to make great achievements this time!"
Everyone on the horse was thinking about the military achievements and was very happy, and they galloped forward.
The horse trotted for half a quarter of an hour. It was very quiet all the way, and not a single soul was seen. Some people couldn't help but worry and said, "Captain, there are no farmers along the way. Is there a scam?"
"This place is remote and desolate, with no human habitation for hundreds of miles, but there are so many fertile fields hidden behind the mountains. What's the trick? Could it be that they are busy drying grain!" someone said.
The group of them got a tip and came to look for the enemy's granary!
Their spies were hiding in the enemy's military camp, and the news came back that the enemy would transport millions of kilograms of new grain every year.
A million pounds of new grain is nothing. What is important is that one batch of new grain is very different. Compared with other grains, it tastes much better and is larger in size.
Food and grass are essential items for marching and fighting. This food does not sound unusual.
But this grain is of extremely high quality, very similar to the good grain cultivated by the Duan family in the rumors. You must know that many high-ranking households have improved seeds cultivated by Huitian Nujun, but the yield per acre is not the same as that cultivated by Nujun.
The difference is huge.
The queen has been missing for many years, and the Duan family members have also disappeared, so some counselors suspect that the Duan family members have defected to the enemy to farm the land.
The spies hiding in the military camp stole some of the dry food and gave it to the spies outside to take back and plant. The harvest was much better, and the idea in their hearts became more convinced.
So he arranged for a group of them to go out to find out the news. If they found the missing Duan family members, they would bring them back and hold them in their hands.
If there were no Duan family members, the granary would either be robbed or burned down.
Before everyone came, they thought it was a granary built in the wild.
After all, the weather has failed, and Beijing's harvest has been poor for many years. During the worst period in the past two years, many people starved to death, and there were not many people to work on the land.
Unexpectedly, there are miles of fertile farmland here.
Such a large-scale land must have farmers cultivating it.
So what if there are too many people?
"Just common people, stupid as pigs. You and I are elites who have been fighting on the battlefield for several years. How can we be afraid of those people?" One person said in an arrogant tone.
The common people didn't even have any handy weapons. Not only did they have weapons, they also wore invulnerable iron armor. Even on the battlefield, seven or eight soldiers couldn't get close, let alone the common people.
The leading man held the reins and meditated for a moment on the horse, "Be careful with the Wannian ship. You few will go out and go back to report the news of this place to the general. The rest of you, follow me in and have a look!"
"Yes, Sir Captain!"
Six people got out of the queue and rode back, while the rest continued to move forward.
This farmland is extremely flat. Just walk forward and you will be able to find the road. People on horseback will not notice that they are speeding up.
The two groups of people walked very fast in two directions, and no one noticed the figures hidden in the dead trees next to them.
"Follow them." The man in the forest whispered.
"yes!"
Then four tall and strong figures emerged from the pile of dead grass nearby and flew towards the direction of the six people.
The guards He Lanfeng selected for Qiao Lan were all the best among the best. Shan Tao did not dare to be greedy, so he picked all the best to deliver food, and the ones who stayed behind were the best.
Although there are only about ten people left, it is not difficult for them to defeat them one by one.
The remaining forty or so people rode forward and walked for three or four miles when they suddenly saw white smoke rising from the road ahead.
"Look! There's smoke, there's someone in front!"
"Quick! Get there quickly!"
The crowd waved their riding whips and continued to move forward, quickly running towards the direction of the rising white smoke.
At the intersection of field ridges, there are occasionally a dozen large trees planted together, close together, and it is very crowded.
The few people who were running at the front on horseback just rounded the big trees and were about to continue forward, when they suddenly felt weightless and fell, and they and their horses fell into the deep pit together.
This happened so suddenly that the horse following behind didn't even react and fell straight into the pit.
Accompanied by the neighing of horses and the roar of men, the sharp bamboo poles were stained with traces of bright red blood.
The people behind quickly reined in the horse and stopped it on the spot.
"Captain, this... look..."
The incident happened so suddenly, the remaining dozens of people had different expressions, and they were not as happy as they were just now.
The man in soldier armor dismounted and stood at the edge of the pit to inspect the situation of the pit in front of him.
This pit was dug in the middle of the road, it was very deep, and there was such a sharp bamboo inserted under the pit. It was not a deep pit used to catch wild animals.
"Lord Captain, these brothers..."
The man who was called the captain calmly withdrew his gaze and said, "It's hopeless! This bamboo blade has penetrated his body. There is nothing that Hua Tuo can do while he is alive."
"Give them a good time!"
After several whimpers and struggles, the soil at the bottom of the pit became slightly moist.
"Be careful when walking along field ridges. If something goes wrong, turn back immediately."
"It's the captain!"
After what happened just now, the remaining group of people started walking along the field ridge, walking on the harvested wheat stalks, taking every step very carefully.
If someone deliberately set up an ambush to deal with them, it would not be very effective.
After all, this trap is very common, and many farmers will dig a few in the mountains to catch ferocious beasts in the wild.
But they were unlucky and fell into it.
They went out to march and fight. They had never seen any storms along the way, so how could they be afraid of this little trap?
Now that something has happened to someone, it can be considered as a warning. If you don't go inside and take a look, you might miss something.
The group of people continued walking forward until they reached the entrance of Zhuangzi. They saw a two-story wooden building standing in front of them. The door was closed. Behind the door, there was white smoke getting higher and higher. Everything was quiet. Look.
Not a single person was seen.
I was confused for a moment. Why was there no one here all the way?
Everyone stood there in confusion!
Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from inside the village, as well as the shouts of men.
"Lord Captain, is it possible that people here are celebrating the autumn harvest?"
If there is no one at the door because it is celebrating the autumn harvest, it seems perfectly reasonable.
"Kick this door open."
After a while, a group of people broke in violently.
I don't know if the door was broken or something was kicked down, but a lot of sewage flowed from the wooden building on the second floor. The water was not dirty, but it smelled a bit bad.
Despite this, everyone still entered the village despite the stench.
