The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 154 Discovery
Time went back to when Changsun Ji ordered the soldiers to beat the drums, and the sound of the drums spread far and wide, not only on the riverbank of Changsun Ji, but also on the other side of the river, Li Chuang, the leader of the grain army, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Hearing the sound of the drums, he saw the soldiers of the Yan army on the opposite side lined up.Li Chuang frowned, and asked the middle-aged Confucian scholar, "Sir, what does Yan Jun mean?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a rain of arrows shooting from the opposite side.

Seeing the rain of arrows shot by Yan Jun, Li Chuang laughed instead: "What is Yan Jun doing? Does Yan Jun think that he can beat me back with his bow and arrow? How childish."

"Hey, general, the leader of the Yan army, that guy called Changsun Ji, is a kid with a lot of milk teeth. It's normal to do this. This may be his first time on the battlefield. She must be hiding in a certain Gala corner and shivering."

Hearing what Li Chuang said, a soldier dressed as a general beside him laughed and said.

After this person finished speaking, all the surrounding soldiers laughed, and while laughing, they also made echoes, and there were a few words to add.

However, the middle-aged Confucian scholar frowned slightly, and said with some puzzlement: "General, don't underestimate that grandson Ji, this person is not that simple, he should have some other purpose."

At this time, the sound of drums in the distance sounded again.The middle-aged Confucian scholar's speech was quite authoritative, and just after he finished speaking, the drum sounded again.

Everyone didn't dare to be careless, restrained their smiles, and looked to the other side.

"Look quickly, what is Yan Jun doing?" At this moment, a man pointed to the raft pushed by Yan Jun and said.

Because of the occlusion of the rain of arrows and the distance, everyone couldn't see clearly. It was more eye-catching when the fire ignited on the rafts.

As the fire was extinguished, the raft slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

This time, Yan Jun's operation made the group of grain troops feel a little bit like monks -- confused.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar frowned, then stretched it out, looked at the faces of everyone looking at each other and said, "If I'm not wrong, the Yan army should have thrown something into the river. The general can send someone to check it out." , should have results soon.”

Li Chuang nodded, and said to a guard behind him, "Send an order to ask the front troops to check and quickly find out what the Yan army put in the river."

"Yes, my lord." The guard took the order to deliver the message.

As the order was conveyed, the people on the shore soon saw that many boats began to separate from the lake to the place where the sunken rafts were sent into the river before the Yan army.

Although pushed by soldiers of the Yan Army, the raft did not go far from the shore, so the place where the raft sank was not too far from the shore.

A large part of the ships sent by the Liang Army were sunk by the Yan Army on the shore. Finally, a few ships rowed to the place where the raft sank. Before they understood what happened, their own ship sank again.

In this way, after a long time, soldiers came to report that what the Yan army had thrown into the river was barbed wire, and that the bottoms of several ships had been scratched and holes had been pierced.

Hearing this, everyone understood that the Yan army was planning to throw barbed caltrops into the river to stop their own army from advancing.They all yelled words like "Yan Jun is shameless".

After realizing that Yan Jun's purpose was this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar breathed a sigh of relief. Everything in this world is the most terrifying unknown. Now that he has figured out Yan Jun's purpose, there is no need to worry so much.

However, the brows that had been stretched just now were quickly frowned again, and he asked the soldier who reported the news: "You just said that the barbed wire has damaged several ships?"

Although the soldier was a little puzzled and didn't know why the middle-aged Confucian scholar asked such a question, he still replied: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong."

"How long is the terrier? It just rained the day before yesterday, and the water level of the river should have risen a lot. The terrier used in ordinary rivers should not cause harm to the moving wooden boat." The middle-aged Confucian scholar asked again, his face I already looked a little anxious, I don't know if it was because I thought of something or because I couldn't think of any reason.

"My lord doesn't know that the water level of the river has dropped a lot now. It has reached the normal water level. As the wind blows the waves, the tips of the barbed wire still pop out from time to time."

"What? The water level of the river has dropped? When did this happen? Why didn't anyone come to report it." Hearing the soldier, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's expression changed drastically and he scolded.

"This, this. The villain doesn't know. He was only focused on fighting just now and didn't pay attention to this. If the adult asked just now, the villain would not have thought of it at all." The middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly reprimanded the soldier, who was terrified and cupped his hands Apologize.

"Sir? What made you so angry?" Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, Li Chuang asked.

"General, I don't have time to talk to you in detail now, so hurry up and withdraw your troops, or it will be too late." The middle-aged Confucian scholar heard Li Chuang's question and did not answer directly, but persuaded him instead.

"Well, we are about to cross the river and occupy the other bank. Why do we have to retreat now?" Li Chuang was surprised. After spending so much effort and killing so many soldiers, he was about to cross the river. The middle-aged Confucian scholar persuaded him to withdraw his troops, which made him a little bit overwhelmed. If the eyes of the middle-aged Confucian scholar were not open, he would have thought that the middle-aged Confucian scholar had fallen asleep and was talking nonsense.

"General, now is not the time to go into details. The Yan army is going to release water. If it is later, our tens of thousands of soldiers will become water ghosts."

Hearing what the middle-aged Confucian scholar said, Li Chuang's face changed, and some officials around him also talked about it.

"Sir, are you serious? Can this be nonsense?"

"General, there is no joke in the army. Since I say it, I am sure. General, retreat quickly, or it will be too late."

Li Chuang's eyes flickered a little, he took a deep look at the middle-aged Confucian scholar, a ruthless look flashed across his face, and finally made up his mind to withdraw the troops.

Although it is a pity for him to withdraw troops now, so many soldiers have died in order to cross the shore, but he still chooses to believe in the middle-aged Confucian scholar, firstly because this person is really capable, and secondly, if the middle-aged Confucian scholar said once Come true, then his dead soldiers will be even more.

Now there are almost 5 generals and soldiers in the river. If they are all folded in it, although it won't kill him, it will also hurt him.

"Decree, Mingjin withdraws troops." Li Chuang gritted his teeth and said to the soldiers beside him.
