In fact, there is another reason for judging that these five hundred soldiers did not come from Lingxia County.
The reason is that if they come from Lingxia County, Pang Juan and the others will not fail to encounter them. If they encounter them, they will definitely return to report.
Zhong Wuyan also agreed with Li Mu's analysis.
Since these soldiers came from Fufeng County, they had to figure out why Fufeng County sent troops to Wushan.
And it's very simple to find out the reason, just capture them.
Liu Shun thought that the mountain road would be difficult, but he did not expect that the mountain road in Wushan would be so rugged.
Not only is it rugged, it is also narrow, and not to mention narrow, it is steep.
There is only one mountain road leading to Wushanzhai on the bright side. It is not an exaggeration to describe this mountain road on the bright side as a bird path.
When they followed Zhong Wuyan to climb the mountain at night, Li Mu and others didn't feel much about this steep mountain road.
But when Suizhong Wuyan took a look at it in the daytime, this steep mountain road left a very deep impression on Li Mu and everyone.
This road has steep slopes and deep ridges, winding and twisting from top to bottom, like a coiled snake.
In addition, this road opens in the mountains, and there are dense trees on both sides of the mountain road.
Walking on this road feels like walking in a canyon.
Liu Shun, who was walking on the "Wangyang Road", didn't know that there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes looking at him in a mountain forest less than 300 meters away from him.
"Master, they are about to enter our "Cicada Hunting Forest"." Zhong Da, who was standing next to Zhong Wuyan, said excitedly to Liu Shun and his 500 Fufeng troops with his eyes fixed on her.
"I saw it. Once they enter the cicada forest, let Zhong Laoyi catch the cicadas."
"Okay!"
But following Zhong Wuyan's orders, Zhong Da suddenly started playing ventriloquism under Li Mu's surprise.
I saw his cheeks bulging and his mouth pouting.
A "cuckoo" bird call suddenly came out of his throat.
Following his cuckoo call, there was an immediate response from the mountain forest ahead.
"Is this using bird calls to convey orders?" Wang Jian also exclaimed when he heard cuckoos calling in the forest.
But after hearing Wang Jian's exclamation, Zhong Wuyan just turned his eyes and looked at him lightly.
The cuckoo cries suddenly sounded in the forest, Liu Shun Heard it too.
When he heard it, he thought it was a bird in the forest.
Due to the narrow mountain road, these five hundred Fufeng troops could only move forward in twos and threes.
Liu Shun, who was walking in the middle army, raised his eyes and glanced at the mountains of Wushan, which were eight feet away from him. He also complained to the adjutant beside him: "Damn it, why do you think it's inconvenient for them to live here?" What are you trying to do in the mountains? To make me suffer like this?"
But after listening to Liu Shun's complaint, the adjutant beside him could only comfort him and said: "General, hurry up, we have already climbed halfway up the mountain."
"Only halfway up the mountain? Huh! When I get to their village, let them prepare me a meal of wild game and beat my teeth as a sacrifice."
The trees on both sides are thicker than before, and the mountain road at the foot is much flatter than before.
Accompanied by the chirping of birds in the mountains and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Two figures slipped down from two big trees behind Liu Shun's army.
Sneak down, and then walk quickly behind the last two soldiers.
The moment the two soldiers who were lagging behind felt a strange sound behind them, their mouths and noses were suddenly covered by the two figures from behind, and they were forcibly dragged into the woods on both sides.
Liu Shun's army continued to advance, and the soldiers behind him also slipped down from the big trees, and they followed the same pattern and dragged the soldiers behind them into the woods one by one.
When Liu Shun's army walked out of this dense forest, the cuckooing of birds began to sound again in the woods.
Zhong Da, who was standing on a mountain col, was listening carefully with his ears raised. When the cuckooing stopped, Zhong Da also excitedly said to Zhong Wuyan beside him: "The village leader, Zhong Laoyi said.
They caught fifty cicadas in total."
Fifty cicadas were caught in total?
But after hearing what Zhong Da said, Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.
If he guessed correctly, the fifty cicadas arrested should refer to the number of people arrested.
Due to the lack of sight, Li Mu and others could no longer see any trace of Liu Shun's army.
So they didn't know how these fifty unlucky soldiers were kept unaware by Zhong Wuyan's "cicada catching team"
captured.
"Only fifty so few? Did Zhong Laoyi and the others not have enough to eat in the morning?"
After expressing his dissatisfaction to Zhong Da first, Zhong Wuyan continued: "Let Zhong Er and Zhong San continue on. No matter how much territory they have left after passing through their two brothers' territory, let Zhong Zhong cast the net directly."
"Okay!"
With a shout, Zhong Da began to show off his astonishing ventriloquism again in front of everyone in Li Mu.
This time, Zhongda no longer learned the cuckoo bird calls, but learned three bird calls in succession.
When the three kinds of birds called together, the forest immediately responded with the calls of similar birds.
And this magical scene fell in the eyes of everyone in Li Mu, and they were filled with admiration. .??.??
It seems that they have no way to intervene in this battle.
The five hundred soldiers brought by Liu Shun were disappearing in the same way as before.
The moment these soldiers were dragged into the woods, three mountain people came to greet them.
One was responsible for stuffing strips of cloth into their mouths, one was responsible for removing their armor and weapons, and the third was responsible for tying them up.
After tying them up, they quickly climbed up the tree again.
Liu Shun's army was visibly decreasing. What was tragic was that neither he nor his soldiers even looked back.
Two kinds of birds chirped competingly in the forest.
If it falls into Liu Shun's ears, it is an ordinary bird call, and if it falls into Zhong Da's ears, it represents the number of people captured.
When the calls of the two birds gradually disappeared, Zhong Dayi hurriedly expressed his excitement to Zhong Wuyan: "Zhai leader, the two brothers Zhong Er have caught a total of two hundred cicadas."
"Two hundred?" But hearing this number, everyone in Li Mu was also shocked.
Five hundred soldiers lost half their strength in less than a cup of tea. Did the leading general really not notice it at all?
Liu Shun really didn't notice it. If his adjutant hadn't glanced back out of boredom, Liu Shun would probably have walked forward.
The army did not move forward. At this moment, the two hundred and fifty soldiers, including Liu Shun, had expressions as if they had seen a ghost in the daytime.
"Where are the soldiers? Where are my soldiers?" Liu Shunzai roared loudly and grabbed the adjutant's collar while roaring.
r>
It was also when he was venting his anger and fear on this adjutant that a vine as thick as an arm suddenly lifted out from under his feet.
The cane was raised so suddenly that Liu Shun had no time to react before he was lifted up by the cane holding his crotch.
"General!" Although the accompanying adjutant wanted to save Liu Shun, he suffered a secret loss from the cane and was tripped to the ground.
In an instant, all two hundred and fifty soldiers suffered a hidden loss from this cane.
At this point, they finally realized that they had fallen into a trap set by these mountain people on the mountain road.
The soldiers were tied up in the forest, and the people were sneaking up the trees.
When these frightened soldiers saw the mountain people slipping down from the trees behind them, their expressions were more mournful than crying.
It's still too early to say goodbye, because there is still the hard food of big net.
While some of the soldiers, some of whom were tripped by the canes and some whose crotches were pulled down by the canes, were about to cry without tears, large nets suddenly rose up from under their feet.
It’s over! It’s really over!
These elite soldiers and generals who have been training day and night will be caught as game by these mountain people.
When Zhong Wuyan led Li Mu and the others to this mountain road, Li Mu and the others were completely shocked and speechless by the scene they saw in front of them.
Two hundred and fifty soldiers, including Liu Shun and his adjutants, were all captured alive, and the method of capture was actually a net.
At this moment, the two hundred and fifty soldiers were caught in a big net and hung high.
After Zhong Wuyan arrived, the youngest Zhong also ordered the mountain people to lower the dozen or so large nets.
The position of this descent is very elegant, it is exactly the same as Zhong Wuyan's height.
"Master!" Walking to Zhong Wuyan, youngest Zhong didn't even look at Liu Shun and his soldiers. He raised his voice and shouted to Zhong Wuyan: "I ordered it, plus the two hundred and five people in the forest.
Compared with the two hundred and five here, it is exactly five hundred."
"Two two hundred and fifty? How much can we sell this time?" But after hearing what Zhong Lao Yao said, Zhong Wuyan also asked him deliberately.
"Let me do the math! If you chop up two two hundred and fifty this time, cook them, and sell them as game meat in the city, you can get thousands of baht!"
