The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

Although Zu Zhao didn't know anything about astronomy and astronomy, he still judged that there would be evening fog in this forest based on some ancient proverbs and some basic physics knowledge. The woodland is close to the heath, and the contrast between dryness and humidity is severe, coupled with the cold in early winter, which is most likely to cause fog barriers. At this time, the sky was becoming more and more gloomy, and he could already see that there were thick and faint traces in the depths of the forest, which was the precursor to the fog.

"There must be a lot of fog here tonight." He said firmly.

"By the noonday verse, the thieves were alarmed, and they were in a state of terror. Taking advantage of the fog, the light and shadow momentum created a blinding method, and the thieves could not distinguish between the virtual and the real, and they were like frightened birds in panic. If our prediction is good, the thieves will flee north, and we will be ready to fight the thieves head-on! Han Dang said in a positive voice.

Hearing this analysis, everyone added a little confidence. At the moment, there is a difference between the advantages and the disadvantages. Even though the number of thieves is not clear, and there are some more riders, they are a rabble after all. Compared with the ancestral family and the Zhang family, they are all well-armed and equipped, and they are many good at martial arts and good riding on weekdays.

Zu Fan's face was still suspicious, but he didn't say anything, he was not a person who didn't dare to take risks, and the reason why he was worried was nothing more than that he didn't want more casualties under the Zu family.

"So, that's it." Zu Zhao made a solemn decision, and immediately arranged for several disciples to rush to contact Zu Ke, Zu Li and Zu Ling respectively, and pass on the latest deployment.

The whole process of delivering the new deployment is not too complicated, after all, it is not much different from the previous plan, it is nothing more than a combination of three sides and changing the real army team in the south into a suspicious team. Although there are a few additional risks, such as the fact that there is no 100% certainty that the thieves will escape from the north, and there is even no certainty that the thieves will actually escape. But in any case, these risks are under control, and the worst plan is nothing more than to let many thieves take advantage of the opportunity to escape.

Zu Li and Zu Ke led people to the northern hills, and after meeting Zu Zhao and the others, their two uncles were very dissatisfied with Zu Zhao's insistence on refusing to evacuate, if it weren't for the safety of the eldest prince, the two would have turned their faces long ago.

After meeting Zu Zhao, Zu Ke, who had the most short temper, couldn't help but teach a lesson: "Eldest prince, since Ah Cheng and they risked their lives to report the situation of the thieves in the forest, we should retreat to the city first and make plans after contacting the local county government." It's almost dark now, how can you mess around?

Zu Zhao maintained the etiquette of the seniority, and said calmly: "Uncle Ke is a little restless. No matter how many thieves there are, they are just a rabble, not to mention that we are not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers when we are gathered together now. What a fear.

Zu Ke said loudly: "The sword has no eyes, how can it be as easy as playing on weekdays?" The eldest prince is simply too much to take for granted.

Zu Zhao's face gradually changed, and he said in a cold voice: "If Uncle Ke is afraid of such thieves, he might as well enter the city before it gets dark."

Zu Ke's eyes widened, his face was pale, and he was furious: "You, you..."

Zu Li sighed and said to Zu Fan: "Why don't you persuade the eldest prince?"

Zu Fan hesitated for a while, and said helplessly: "This matter may be promising."

Zu Li fell into deep thought, after all, Zu Fan is older than Zu Zhao, and he is in the middle of the county, since he thinks that this operation is "promising", it can add some confidence. He groaned for a while, and although his face was not good, he still said, "In this case, let's see how the thieves react before making plans."

Zu Zhao didn't say anything, turned around and asked everyone to get ready.

At this time, Zu Fan came to him, his face was very dark, as if he had something to say.

Zu Zhao glanced at Zu Fan and asked first, "Aren't you still worried about this?" The eldest husband should be decided, and there is not so much to worry about. When the brave meet on the narrow road, the brave wins, and on the brave, don't we have confidence?

Zu Fan raised his eyebrows and smiled with relief: "It's still the eldest prince who can see through." But I'm not alone. When Tian Gongcao came before, the eldest prince said that the thief exposed his whereabouts but did not escape, there must be something else hidden. I always feel that there are many intricacies from the beginning of the horse robbery case, and I have to worry about it.

Zu Zhao nodded slowly, he had the same doubts in his heart, at first he only thought it was Tianping Dao making trouble, but then he was interspersed with the figure of the black arrow thief, and then he suddenly heard that there was a group of riders among the thieves, and these doubts were combined, as if there was a big conspiracy hidden behind the scenes.

"What is behind this, we can only wait until after the thief is broken, and then we will verify it separately."

The night is low, and the crescent moon rises in the east. The weather is getting colder and colder, and in order to hide their whereabouts, this side of the hill does not dare to easily light a fire to keep warm.

Fortunately, most of the people in the group are young and prime, and they have been in the north for a long time, and they can withstand this cold night.

Zu Zhao crouched on the hill, and when he looked up, a layer of mist appeared in the forest in the distance. A white mist lingers around the branches, looming, in the clouds, quite a bit of treacherous. When the other people saw this scene, they all secretly praised the eldest prince's clever calculations in their hearts, and even the elders such as Zu Li and Zu Ke couldn't help but sigh, when did the eldest prince have such a skill in astronomy? This kind of miracle is absolutely impossible for an ordinary man to do!

It was completely night, and before it was long, there was a movement in the south.

Even here on the hill, you can see the fire from the depths of the forest, accompanied by the sound of boiling people.

Zu Ling took his team and began to build momentum in the periphery of Lincong, fifty or sixty people were divided into three teams, crisscrossing and galloping back and forth, each holding a torch, shaking and shouting loudly during the exchange. Not only that, the ancestral tomb also prepared a number of bonfires in advance, and only waited for the appointed time to light these bonfires one after another. The whole southern part of the forest suddenly became very lively.

The firelight and figures behind the fog, combined with the intense atmosphere, are enough to present the illusion of a big battle.

In less than a moment after the movement started in the south, the disciple in charge of monitoring in the east immediately called: "There is movement."

Zu Zhao squinted his eyes and looked east, the fog not only provided convenience, but also caused an obstruction in his vision, and he looked for a while before he saw many dark shadows shaking behind the trees. After a while, I could faintly hear the sound of people and horses, shouting and crying.

"It seems that the thief was really scared."

"Tell the brothers to be ready. Launched. The

order quickly spread from the hill to the rear, and the children, who had been resting together in twos and threes, immediately cheered up and grabbed their weapons and got ready. They helped each other check that their armor was fastened, and the archers hurriedly removed their bows and quivers from their horses, and the horses recovered from their silence as if a rain was about to come.

Zu Zhao also followed down the hill, came to his own mount, adjusted the saddle, and said to the left and right: "Wait until the thief appears, listen to my orders before attacking, and do not act without permission." Do you understand? Left

and right whispered yes one after another, and then split up to get on the horse.

Zu Zhao jumped on the horse's back, took the halberd from one of his disciples, kicked the horse in the belly, and rode the horse to the side of the hill.

Han Dang, Zhang Yuan, Gongsun Long, Zu Ke, Zu Li and others had already rushed to Zu Zhao's side to stand still. They were all good at handling horses, and they knew that they had to take advantage of the condescending terrain to make an impact, and the hill in front of them was clearly in its place to play.

The movement in the forest to the east was getting louder and louder, and the figures of the swaying figures behind the thick fog were becoming clearer and clearer.

Soon, several riders broke through the fog, followed by more riders. Their horses were not very fast, and it was evident that they had to take care of their horseless companions in the rear, but the whole formation was very chaotic, mixed with shouting one after another, and the formation became more and more chaotic.

Zu Zhao squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but saw that there were about forty riders, half of them were majestic and sturdy horses, and half were emaciated ponies. Most of the thieves on horses wore thick long coats and strangely shaped felt hats, which were clearly not Han dresses, and most of them were long weapons in their hands, and all kinds of them were not uniform; And those who ride dwarf horses are also dressed as Hu people, but more of them are Han Chinese, who obviously lack horse skills, and they are crooked and twisted on horseback, and they will fall down at any time.

"It seems that there are Hu people?"

"What's going on? Is there a thief who is of a foreign race?

"Don't gossip, don't let anyone go, no matter who he is." The big guys are cheering up. The

children of the ancestral family and the brothers of the Zhang family straightened their backs one by one, and invariably erected the long weapons in their hands on horseback, putting on a posture of being ready to charge at any time.

"Bow up, shoot them first." At this time, Zu Zhao commanded in a commanding tone.

The children slowly climbed the hill, lined up, and then directly inserted the long weapon in their hands into the ground, and took out their bows and arrows from behind their backs.

Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan, Han Dang and the others on the left and right had already taken their bows and arrows, and they stared at the east of the forest, calmly waiting for those thieves to continue to flee north for a while and enter the best range.

After the riders appeared, as expected, a group of thieves on foot followed behind. These thieves, who did not have horses, were all in ragged clothes, and the blades in their hands were all hoes, sickles, mallets and other farm tools, and it was obvious at a glance that they were poor peasants who were desperate. Roughly speaking, there were about forty or fifty of these farmers.
