I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

A moment later, He Wu returned to the center of the army again. Xin Wu had already dismounted and was waiting.

"How's the situation ahead?"

He Wu waved his hand to dismiss the surrounding soldiers, then lowered his voice and said, "General, it's difficult to pass. The roadside has sunken for more than ten meters, and the exit is blocked by a five-meter-high boulder."

Upon hearing this, a look of sadness suddenly appeared on Xin Wu's face.

The condition of the road was not bad. We had tens of thousands of people on our side. To put it bluntly, if each person picked up a stone and threw it over, it would be enough to fill the sunken road surface.

But what really worried Xin Wu was that this was obviously done by Jiang Yuan and his gang. How could they just sit there and watch while they were repairing the road?

If we force our way through, we will probably lose two or three thousand people, and we probably won't be able to get out at all.

This is only secondary. The key point is that we have just withdrawn our troops from Taiping County. There are still seven or eight days of journey ahead. If he has to endure this every day, even with more than 10,000 people, he can't bear it!

Judging from Jiang Yuan's bastard personality, it is entirely possible that he would do such a thing.

"General, what should we do now?" He Wu asked again.

Xin Wu sighed helplessly, "If there were no problems with the food, we could just keep consuming it. But now we only have five days' worth of food. We can't afford to waste it. We have to get through this."

“Even if you know there’s a pit ahead, you still have to keep going.”

After saying this, Xin Wu's face turned grim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But this is also an opportunity. Jiang Yuan came here in a hurry, and he took a shortcut to overtake us, so he can't bring many people with him."

"As long as we can fight him head-on, even if we can't capture him alive, we can at least cripple his troops, which won't have much of an impact on us later."

He Wu's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "General, you are right. Jiang Yuan gave up the fortified city. Although he is now familiar with the terrain, compared to the ten-meter-high city wall, our current disadvantage is better than before. This is an opportunity for us."

"That's right, pass the order down, the rest of the people rest here, we will take three thousand men and go to repair the road, it depends on whether Jiang Yuan dares to show up!" As he spoke, Xin Wu's expression became more and more sinister.

A moment later, the large army that received the order began to rest on the spot. According to Xin Wu's arrangement, all the soldiers had to rest as close to the cliff as possible. The curved mountain above was enough to act as a protective umbrella to prevent sudden arrows from being shot from above.

Xin Wu and He Wu, with three thousand men and horses, quickly rushed forward.

At the same time, three miles ahead, Jiang Yuan and his group were quietly lying on top of the damaged road.

"Sir, it's been half a day, why is there still no movement? They won't not come, right?" Zhao Kai looked at Jiang Yuan with a squint.

"Bullshit! I've already seen this road clearly. There are only two ways: advance or retreat. As long as they don't want to die, they can't retreat." Jiang Yuan said angrily.

"Just wait, it won't be long before they come over."

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Li Hu's voice came over: "Sir, here I come, here I come!"

"Everyone be quiet! Remember, follow my previous arrangements!"

Jiang Yuan said something and quickly climbed onto Li Hu's back. According to the plan, the core figures of this operation were him and Li Hu.

Without Li Hu's speed, it would be difficult for Jiang Yuan to succeed alone.

"Follow the plan." Jiang Yuan patted Li Hu's shoulder.

"Don't worry, sir!" Li Hu kicked the road proudly: "All my skills are in my legs!"

"Don't bother talking to me about this!" Jiang Yuan's face darkened. Damn it! The last time he heard this was when he first came to Taiping County and went out to steal because he had no salt.

I originally thought this guy was quite capable, but he just ran away and almost got himself killed. How dare this idiot say that!

As the two were talking, He Wu, who was leading the way, had already reached the end of the sunken road.

He first found a stone the size of his head and kicked it into the pit.

boned...

After rolling in the pit for a while, the stone lay quietly in the pit without any abnormality.

He Wu couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw this. Fortunately, although Jiang Yuan was full of tricks, he didn't have time to set up the spikes and other traps due to limited time.

"You guys go down and take a look, be careful." He Wu casually pointed to several centurions around him.

Old Zhao, who had once entered Taiping County with He Wu, jumped down without saying a word, picked up the spear in his hand, and poked the ground a few times with the spear after taking two steps.

Soon, when they reached the exit at the other end, they looked at the several-meter-high boulder and turned to look at He Wu.

"My lord, there doesn't seem to be any danger."

He Wu narrowed his eyes, drew the long sword from his waist with his backhand, spread his legs and started to run. When he approached the five-meter-high boulder, Lao Zhao and another centurion bent down at the same time. He Wu stepped on the two of them and jumped up, his body flying into the air.

When He Wu landed steadily on the boulder, he had not yet checked the situation ahead.

Whoosh whoosh!

"Hmph! I knew you were up to no good!" He Wu sneered and waved the long sword in his hand to deflect a few feather arrows, but the next wave of feather arrows came like raindrops.

He Wu's expression changed and he jumped off the boulder quite decisively.

"Damn it! So insidious!" He Wu cursed and returned to Xin Wu with a few people.

"Sir, there is an ambush ahead and the number of people is unknown." He Wu reported.

Xin Wu opened his mouth and was about to speak when suddenly, a vague sound came from the surroundings.

"Xinwu! Our Taiping County is nestled among the mountains, and has always lived in peace. Yet, you led your army to invade, disrupting our peaceful lives and shattering the tranquility of the mountains. Today, the mountain god is enraged. Prepare to be buried here!"

Xin Wu was stunned at first, but then he reacted and sneered, "Jiang Yuan! It's you, right? Stop playing tricks on me!"

"You're still at peace with the world? If you hadn't been causing trouble in western Yunzhou, how could I have led my army here? Although I was defeated yesterday, you and I both know that the only losses were a few new recruits."

"If you want to eat all my elite soldiers, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. What mountain god? Stop talking nonsense to me!"

"If there really is a mountain god, please let him come out. I want to see what the legendary god looks like!"

While speaking, Xin Wu looked at He Wu. He Wu nodded slightly and listened attentively to the movements around him, hoping to find Jiang Yuan's whereabouts based on his next words.

"Xinwu, you are truly ignorant and fearless. Well, today I will let you see the might of the Mountain God!"

Jiang Yuan's erratic voice was heard again, but He Wu's face was full of disbelief.

Where the hell is this guy hiding?

The sound came from the front, then from the sides, and even from above from time to time.

It would be fine if Jiang Yuan was an unparalleled master, but according to the clues, this guy doesn't know martial arts. Even if he has embarked on the path of martial arts in recent years, his strength is at most at the first or second level. How could he possibly reach this level?

Even if we take a step back and assume that he really has such speed, how can his voice be so calm despite moving at such a high speed?

He Wu asked himself if he couldn't do it, let alone Jiang Yuan.

Just as He Wu was thinking about this, he suddenly heard the sound of falling stones above his head.

He Wu took a look and immediately relaxed his vigilance. They were all fist-sized stones, and there were not many of them, only about ten at most. Several people dodged sideways without making a sound.

Xin Wu casually punched a rock and sent it flying, sneering, "Jiang Yuan, is this the method of the so-called mountain god you mentioned?"

"How is this any different from children playing?"

Just as Xin Wu finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly came from the surroundings - boom!
