The sound of hooves echoed on the quiet and wide road.
A hundred Qin soldiers were escorting a batch of rations to the front line. There was a lot of rations, distributed on hundreds of carts. However, the number of Qin soldiers escorting was very small.
Zhao Mu felt that there was something strange about the transport of rations this time. There was too much rations and too few Qin soldiers. It didn't make sense.
However, this was Wang He's order, and it was also an opportunity for Zhao Mu to make a contribution. He just kept the question in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
The team that was transporting the grain followed the Yellow River all the way to Gaodu of Wei.
Zhao Mu would occasionally size up the 100-man general at the front. This 100-man general was a famous person. He was the Great Qin's famous general, Meng Tian, from Zhao Mu's memories.
However, Meng Tian was still very young and her position was very low. She was only a hundred men general.
Zhao Mu and the others didn't move very fast. They staggered along the way. Joy, Sorrow, and the others didn't notice anything different, but the doubts in Zhao Mu's heart grew deeper and deeper.
He had a bad speculation.
Could they have become bait?
Qin and Wei were fighting, and the battlefield was burning.
Both sides were thinking of ways to break the current stalemate. It was too difficult for the Wei Kingdom to defeat the Qin army on the battlefield.
The only way was to cut off the Qin army's supply route.
Neither Meng Ao nor Wang He had thought of this.
These two people might have planned to beat him at his own game, which was why they were escorting the rations.
The more Zhao Mu thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was right.
He immediately became vigilant and called over Joy, Sorrow, and his subordinates. He said sternly,"All of you better be alert. This time, we might encounter an attack. If you don't be alert, don't blame me if you lose your lives!”
Zhao Mu's words were harsh. In addition, Zhao Mu's prestige was extremely high.
Joy, Sorrow, and the others were in awe of him. When they heard his words, the loose and loose appearance on their bodies immediately disappeared and they became vigilant.
This scene fell into Meng Tian's eyes, but she became very curious about Zhao Mu.
He had already heard of Zhao Mu's name during this recruit training. He was a recruit from Mount Shu. He was very brave and had excellent training. It was said that General Wang He planned to train him.
Therefore, Meng Tian was not surprised that Zhao Mu would appear on the list for this grain escort.
This was how General Wang He trained his subordinates. If they were thrown into the most dangerous place, they would be greatly improved if they could survive.
If you can't survive, it only proves that you're not worth nurturing.
Meng Tian looked at the change in Zhao Mu's group and immediately knew that Zhao Mu must have noticed their true goal.
Meng Tian's lips curled up into a smile under the mask. After this war, he would look for Zhao Mu to drink and make friends.
Under Zhao Mu's vigilance, his speculation was confirmed.
When they escorted the rations into a valley, countless boulders suddenly rolled down from the slopes on both sides of the valley.
The huge rock rumbled down with an astonishing momentum.
"Quickly hide behind the grain carts!" Zhao Mu shouted sternly.”
However, there were still people who were slow. Two of Zhao Mu's recruits were directly smashed to death by the huge rocks.
The rest of the soldiers also died.
The hundred men shouted at Meng Tian," Turn over the grain carts and push them outside. Use them as city walls!"”
The soldiers immediately took action and quickly surrounded the huge grain cart. Then, they obediently stayed in the grain cart and prepared to deal with the enemy.
Zhao Mu looked at Meng Tian, who did not panic at all, and confirmed that his speculation was correct. They were bait, and Wang He's army should be behind them.
However, the probability of this bait dying was too high!
After the huge rock, an overwhelming number of arrows came crashing down from both sides of the slope like dark clouds.
Zhao Mu hid behind the carriage and led his men to hide under the carriage, using the carriage to block the arrows that covered the sky.
However, new recruits were still new recruits after all. There were still quite a few casualties. In just two rounds of attacks, almost half of their team of 100 people had died.
Meng Tian frowned. The new recruits this time seemed to be a little weak.
Wang He's army was not close to them because they wanted to avoid being discovered by the enemy.
The fastest they could reach was the time for an incense stick to burn. However, according to Meng Tian's estimation, they would not be able to hold on for 30 breaths, much less the time for an incense stick to burn.
"Are we going to fail miserably this time?”
Meng Tian thought to herself.
Because they were all hiding under the grain carts, the arrows of the Wei army lying in ambush could no longer cause any damage. These Wei soldiers immediately rushed down from the two sides of the hill.
Zhao Mu quickly sized them up. There were at least 3,000 people on both sides!
Fifty people against three thousand people?
Zhao Mu felt that even if he had Invincible Blade, it would not be able to change the outcome of the battle.
"Centurion, when will the Great General's army arrive?”
"Time for an incense stick to burn!"
Meng Tian said in a low voice.
He had miscalculated. This time, he would probably have to take responsibility. He shouldn't have volunteered to lead a 100-man team.
After Zhao Mu finished asking, he stared coldly at the Wei soldiers charging at him and said to Joy, Sadness, and the others,""When the Wei army reaches us, I will go out and fight with them. You guys hide behind the grain carts and stab the Wei soldiers outside through the gaps in the grain carts! Cover my flanks!"
"Commander Shi, this is too dangerous!" Xi said anxiously.”
"I can't care so much. It's only the time for an incense stick to burn. General Wang, you must come quickly.”
Zhao Mu hated the person who came up with this idea to the core. He wasn't angry because of the bait, but if you were to be the bait, you had to last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. At the very least, you could bring more people with you.
A hundred people could last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It might seem like a short time, but if they really fought, it would definitely take a very long time.
The soldiers of the Wei army quickly arrived in front of the grain carts.
Zhao Mu leaped and jumped from the back of the grain cart to the front.
Meng Tian was shocked by this scene.
Wasn't this Zhao Mu very smart?
Why was he still a fool?
Was he courting death by rushing out?
Joy, Sorrow, and the others gripped their spears tightly and stuck out from the gap between the grain carts, preparing to protect Zhao Mu.
