In the afternoon, after waiting for relatives and followers to gather the manpower, Sun Wu, Lu Xun and others took the manpower to Qionglong Mountain.

Qionglong Mountain is located in the western suburbs of Wu County, adjacent to Zhenze.The mountains are lush with trees and the roads are rugged. Except for visiting Yu Ji on the top of the mountain, few people come and go.

Reaching the foot of the mountain, looking up from the woods, under the cover of branches and leaves, the forest is as dark as evening.There are only trails left by the predecessors on the mountain, and they are often covered by vegetation, and the direction can only be vaguely distinguished.

It has only been a few months since the Lu family recruited private soldiers. In addition to Lu Kang's old troops who came back from Lujiang, they can only gather 130 or four people in total.

A large-scale Shanyue group needs farming or looting to maintain.The traces of life have not been noticed for a long time. Sun Wu estimates that the enemy hidden in the mountains is not large, dozens of people at most.Their group of more than 100 people should have been enough, but the enemy is in the dark and has taken advantage of the ground, so this manpower is a bit stretched.

Sun Wu and Lu Xun combined, the terrain on the mountain was complicated, so as not to annihilate the entire army, they divided the 130 people into three, and each of them led a team up the mountain, while Gu Shao and Sun Shangxiang led a team to stand by at the foot of the mountain.

On weekdays, Sun Shangxiang often forgets her actual age in her 60s, bickers with Sun Wu shamelessly, but is very responsible when she is in danger.

Her face that hadn't fully grown was full of seriousness, and she said to Sun Wu solemnly: "Sister, I should have come to charge the battle, but I am trapped in this body... But don't worry, if you are in danger, blow the bell Bronze Horn, I will do my best to save you."

"No, just take care of yourself." Sun Wu didn't care, and wiped Chifeng by himself.

"You don't remember the past, you don't remember being kind to me, but I can't pretend that I don't know anything." Sun Shangxiang grabbed Sun Wu's hand, "Apart from avenging Wei Wei in my life, I also want to make you happy. You can There must be nothing wrong..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly interrupted by Lu Xun.Lu Xun looked at Sun Wu and said, "It's getting late."

"Let's go now." Hearing the urging, Sun Wu said no more, and led his men to the forest.

Lu Xun brushed past her, his solemn and alienated appearance was very different from the kindness and intimacy in his earlier memories, which made Sun Wu suddenly feel weird.

Sun Shangxiang's so-called "kindness to her" is mostly just a casual act of his own entertainment, but Sun Shangxiang always remembers it.It is really unfair that she has not been remembered for so many times of "very kindness" to Lu Xun.

However, this is just one of the various injustices in the past 2000 years. Sun Wu quickly put it behind him and plunged into the forest.

The mountains are full of rough and difficult paths. The further you go into the mountains, the more luxuriant the trees, the dimmer the light, and the louder and louder the sounds of snakes, insects and frogs, and the eerie roars of beasts coming from nowhere. .

Only the felled brambles and fallen weeds are reassuring - since there are indeed traces of mountain activities, they can at least be sure that they have not lost their way.

To prevent the enemy from laying a trap, Sun Wu walked ahead with a map, and pushed forward while beating the ground with weapons with the soldiers.Lu Xun led the large troops behind, carefully guarding against disturbances on both sides and behind him.

At first everyone was tense, but apart from being bitten by snakes and insects and scratched by thorns, there were no major casualties, and gradually everyone relaxed a little.

After walking like this for more than half an hour, suddenly an open space appeared in front of him.

The thorns and shrubs were all removed, and the trees were cut down. The afternoon sun shone directly from above the open space, and the cold wind in the forest finally brought warmth.Looking up from a distance, we can see that Zhenze meets the sky, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

This open space may be a viewing platform arranged by the predecessors.Thinking of this, Sun Wu didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and continued to hit the ground with the Chifeng scabbard.

With this knock, she found that the sound of the soil that was soft on the outside and solid on the inside had changed to a slightly dull "dong" sound, and the touch of the scabbard was also different from before.

"Stop!" She hurriedly called out to everyone.

However, most of the recruits Lu Xun recruited had no actual combat experience, and they couldn't completely obey orders.A few people reacted a little slower, stopped their feet, and stepped forward.

There was a thin wooden plank hidden under the soil, and when the weight of several people pressed it, the wooden plank immediately cracked. One of them grabbed his companion in a panic and escaped, while the other four fell into the pit together.

Three rows of sharpened wooden poles were inserted under the pit, and the wooden poles penetrated the bodies of the four people, accompanied by screams and wailing, and blood sprayed everywhere.

Sun Wu looked into the pit, and saw one person holding onto the edge of the pit, only piercing the sole of his foot; one person was kneeling on the ground, with deep bloodstains on his thigh; the other person had two wooden thorns pierced through his belly, and his chest heaved. But he didn't dare to move; another person happened to be pierced through the neck, and blood was gurgling from the wound.

Not only were the people below the pit howling, but the people above the pit were also terrified when they saw this scene.

"Don't move!" To avoid further panic, Sun Wu stopped everyone.

Seeing that they had calmed down, she glanced at the situation below the pit, and pointed out six people, "You rescue the few at the bottom of the pit and carry them down the mountain, and the rest will continue on our way with me."

Saving people is out of humanitarian spirit, and it is considered lucky to be able to save half of the four people.Originally, there were only a hundred people who went up the mountain, plus those who stayed to save others, and lost ten at once, Sun Wu was very distressed.

Hearing the heart-piercing screams in the pit, she said sharply to the rest of the people: "I told you about the military regulations earlier, but I just ignored them. This time, I read it for the first time. If you don’t obey orders like this, prepare to fend for yourself!”

After finishing speaking, Sun Wu led the others to continue to investigate the trap in front of him.In a small open space, there are two ground thorns in the front and back, and two deep pits with flaps.

During this delay, the main force led by Lu Xun followed up.

Looking at the terrifying trap and bloodstains in front of him, he stood on the spot without reacting for a while.

Sun Wu looked back to check the rescue situation.I saw that the two who had injured their legs and feet had already been rescued, their necks were pierced and they died, and blood flowed all over the bottom of the pit.

There was another one whose belly was pierced, who was still sane, looked at his companion with tears in his eyes, and murmured as if begging: "Help, save me..."

"Send these two down the mountain first, and don't worry about the ones below." Looking back from the bottom of the pit, Sun Wutong said to the rescue soldiers.

The soldiers at the bottom of the pit were still whimpering, looking very miserable. Lu Xun hadn't experienced many wars in this life, so he couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

Sun Wu saw through his thoughts at a glance, "Don't touch him, the hole in his stomach can't be blocked, once pulled out, the blood and intestines will flow all over the place, and he will die immediately. It's not that you haven't experienced war, you don't know how cruel it is ?"

Lu Xun knew she was right, but although he was shocked by her sophistication along the way, he was also dissatisfied with her overbearing tone, "They are members of the Lu family, so I should be the one to decide. Let's not talk about the women in the court. You can't be an official, and you don't have an official position, so you don't have to always talk to me in the tone of a superior."

"You just need to understand what I mean." Sun Wu didn't continue to argue with him, remembering that they were indeed no longer comrades in arms who talked about everything.

Just as he was about to turn around and lead the soldiers to continue walking, Sun Wu turned back and said: "If you want to accompany him, it is not impossible to give him some hospice care. I will take people ahead and walk slowly. You can rest here for a while ..."

Before she could finish her sentence, suddenly several arrows shot towards them in the dark of the forest, the sound of the arrows startled the birds in the forest, and the soldiers in the back row fell down immediately before they had time to resist.

"There's still an ambush!" Sun Wu pulled out the Chi Feng while commanding his own soldiers to evade.

An arrow pierced her face, and Sun Wu swung his sword to block it. With a sound of "ding", the arrow bounced off, but her hand was numb from the shock.

Ordinary bows and arrows don't have such strength, she looked at Lu Xun, "It's another six-stone crossbow."

Lu Xun glanced around, frowning involuntarily.

The crossbow machine of the six-stone crossbow is exquisite, and it is difficult to mass-produce it. Even Wu Jun does not have a few in stock, and the surrounding crossbows do not know where they come from.

In the confusion, he picked up the crossbow in his hand, but he couldn't aim at the thief hidden in the dark.

"Back to the forest!" Realizing that his side was in the clear and they were all living targets, Lu Xun quickly ordered the soldiers to hide in the forest.

The soldiers obeyed and hid in the forest. When Lu Xun looked at Sun Wu again, she was moving through the forest deftly and quickly, and she went straight to where the arrow came from!

Are you dying?

"Sun Wu!" Lu Xun wanted to stop her, but the noise of the soldiers retreating and the wails of the arrows drowned out his voice, and Sun Wu still rushed into the enemy's position without looking back.

The arrows in the forest continued to shoot at them, but there was no light and there were trees to cover them, so the soldiers gradually calmed down.

In order not to expose their whereabouts, they consciously held their breath.The target could not be found for a while, and the sound of arrows gradually faded away.

The forest suddenly became quiet, and the birds flew back one after another.

Lu Xun hid behind the tree looking for Sun Wu's trace, but the mottled tree shadow hid her figure, and Lu Xun didn't know whether she was dead or alive for a while.

Suddenly, there were several shouts and the sound of the thief falling to the ground not far away.

The brief calm was suddenly broken, and the sound of crossbows was sharp and rapid one after another.

You can no longer sit still.Lu Xun speculated about the enemy's general position, picked up his crossbow, and changed positions to prepare for a counterattack.

However, at this moment, a clear female voice sounded, "If you dare to shoot an arrow again, I will kill your leader!"

At this time, Lu Xun was changing to another big tree. He looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a beam of light shining from the gaps in the leaves in front of him, and it happened to fall on Sun Wu.

She was pressing a red sword against the neck of a thief, with a graceful and vigorous figure, and a frivolous and proud expression.

"Don't put down the crossbow yet!" Sun Wu said again.

"Second, Second Master..."

Shanyue Duo was originally a good citizen who was very knowledgeable about current affairs. Sun Wu's sharp sword approached an inch, but the second leader finally ordered everyone with a look of displeasure, "Hurry up and put down the crossbow!"

There was a rustling sound, and more than a dozen people hiding in the forest put down their crossbows and walked to the light.

It is difficult to be an enemy of nearly a hundred soldiers, and these people have all become prisoners.
