Chapter 664(1/2)
After waiting like this for three or four days, another boat approached!
Sun Ce had explored everything on the river, especially this area. He had watched it for several nights. Even though it was still a starless night, there was wind at night and waves on the river. However, the boat in the east of the river was as smooth as the ground. The boat finally landed on the waves.
On the ground.
Gao Erniang has been watching.
Neither side held up torches. They relied entirely on long-lasting battlefield experience. No matter how dark the night is, there will always be a little bit of starlight. It is not to say that there is no light in a starless night.
.Because there is no ultimate blackness!
People who have been on the battlefield for a long time have more or less night vision ability. It is not necessarily a superpower, but an instinct of animals, and humans are also one of the animals. Human beings have very strong adaptability. Once they adapt to the dark,
Human eyes are enough to roughly judge moving objects in the dark.
The stars and the moon were obscured by dark clouds, leaving little light, making this night very unusually tense.
It was an ordinary late night, but even the howls of animals seemed so violent. The faint echoes from far away in the mountain forest, the voices of nightingales, and the voices of owls, as well as the slightly messy sounds blown by the wind, were indistinguishable.
Qing's wolf howl.
An elite next to him whispered: "Little General Gao, listen carefully. There seems to be an owl's voice in this voice... and it also sounds like an eagle."
Gao Erniang shushed, signaling for them to be silent. They remained motionless and did not dare to make any more noise.
Pu Linleng......
There seemed to be something flapping its wings and swooping down. From far to near, the sound of flapping wings could not be ignored even if they wanted to. They did not dare to look up and even breathed calmly!
After a long time, the sound of flapping wings disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to make any big noise.
It must be Sun Ce who is here! Gao Erniang is very sure of this. There are very few people who can raise eagles as a help at the moment! From small town guards to county guards, they are busy with their daily affairs and may not have time to tame eagles themselves.
The eagle is a very wild and spiritual animal. Even if it has to endure, it will only obey the strong, and it must be the person who tames it personally.
It's hard for others to tell, but Sun Ce has always been interested in military service. He has time to tame falcons, especially after arriving in Jiangdong. He can definitely have time to tame a few more eagles.
Even Lu Bu did not have eagles before. Until Lu Xian began to order people to tame eagles, but most of them were only used to convey messages. Even so, the eagle only obeys the orders of the people who tamed it. Lu Xian has not tamed it personally, and the eagle does not.
Buy her account. And there are actually not many of them in Xuzhou! You can count them with one pair of hands!
Eagles are very rare, even rarer than a good horse. Except for the northwest, where there are natural ones, eagles are extremely rare in the Central Plains! Because eagles don't like plains, they prefer high mountains and peaks, and inaccessible places.
And on this dark night, such an indistinguishable flying object suddenly appeared in the sky. Except for eagles, Gao Erniang didn't think so. Except for eagles tamed by humans, few wild eagles would swoop down on their own initiative.
.Unless there is prey. Most eagles are active during the day.
Such an anomaly may only appear for the purpose of inspecting the military situation here!
Who is coming? Do you still have to think about it?!
Ninety percent of the time, it must be Sun Ce!
The eagle probably went somewhere else and made no sound again. After a long time, a few more hunting dogs were heard, mixed in with the howls of wolves. Although it was not loud, several people still heard it.
Specialized hunting dogs tame by humans rarely bark.
Just one or two of these sounds are enough to give Gao Erniang a headache. The task this time is not easy to handle.
There are both eagles and dogs... Sure enough, Sun Ce is still Sun Ce. Even if he is reckless sometimes, he is also careful in his behavior. He is not really here to hunt. He knows what he is here for, so he brings these.
A perfect plan.
It’s really a bit tricky now!
Gao Erniang didn't dare to speak anymore for fear of alarming the dog. I don't know how many of them she has brought with her yet!
She just shook her head slightly towards the others, signaling them not to act rashly.
Everyone slowed down their breathing and remained motionless.
The winter night was extremely cold, but they all held on and still stared at the movement on the river embankment.
What's even more troublesome is that two other small boats arrived, and a few people got off each. This means that Sun Ce did not come alone, but with about a dozen or twenty people, who must all be here.
The elites are wearing shorts, but they all carry bows and arrows.
The only thing missing was a horse. It was probably unreasonable to bring a horse across the shore, so I didn’t bring a horse with me.
Gao Erniang put her hands slightly on the ground, grasping the roots of the withered grass, and stared sharply at the movement over there.
This ferry used to be a place where the official road led directly to the pier. However, for defense, a trench was dug between the official road and the pier, which cut off the possibility of a flat river.
The only fastest way to get up from this ferry is to climb up this high slope.
Sun Ce must have made up his mind to come up, they have already started to take action, bringing hooks, ropes and other items.
After he comes up, he will definitely disperse here and search for information individually. He will definitely look for the horse everywhere. Once he gets the horse and runs away, it will be difficult to find Sun Ce himself.
And Gao Erniang now also faces a choice, either wait for them to come up and take action, or... they take action and she chooses to follow.
Take action now, if you can't get it, Sun Ce will be let go. This is right on the edge of the river embankment. Sun Ce can easily be picked up by the boat. It is very easy to retreat, and Gao Erniang doesn't have many people, so she may not have a big threat.
She is not afraid of life or death, but she is afraid of not being able to succeed. And the risk in the dark night is, who can know which person is Sun Ce?!
And if he follows, Sun Ce may not ask people to scatter, but he may also ask people to scatter. Then Sun Ce will be alone. At that time, the chance of success is higher, but if he brings the dog and the eagle, and she brings the people to follow
, the probability of being discovered is also very high.
And if Sun Ce catches the horse, he may really run away and never be able to succeed again.
And she must face a choice now.
Where to start?!
Gao Erniang weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and felt that it would be more secure to defeat them one by one, so she whispered: "Act according to the opportunity. If they are separated, one person will follow the other!"
The elites nodded, but...how could they know which one was Sun Ce?!
This thing depends on God's will, destiny, and luck.
And Sun Ce was indeed on the right track. He first released the three dogs in three directions, ran around, and sniffed. He didn't smell anything strange, so he didn't bark. The eagle had already flown far away, and there was no longer any sight in the sky.
Cry.
Sun Ce knew that this place was very hidden, and the night was extremely dark, so he ordered: "Hide the boat and leave two people here to take care of it. Others, come with me!"
Everyone obeyed.
However, Taishi Ci also came with him. He was determined to follow him, but he was afraid that Sun Ce would make a mistake and couldn't persuade him. Sun Ce didn't come, so Taishi Ci also got on the boat and followed him.
After hearing this, he advised: "Lord, we don't have horses, so we can't go deep! If anything goes wrong, you will be killed by others!"
Sun Ce said: "Now that we have come, how can we retreat easily? We cannot turn back without success! This time we must find out the true and false military situation here, and then go back to plan our attack and defense."
Taishi Ci tried hard to dissuade him, so he followed Sun Ce cautiously, showing no expression in the dark night.
When Sun Ce saw him like this, he said: "Ziyi's archery skills are excellent, what's the worry about Ce?! It doesn't matter, he will be fine..."
Taishi Ci said: "It's just a small Guangling. You really shouldn't be in such danger for your lord. Today is different from the past. My lord is the master of Jiangdong and has a lot of influence. If something goes wrong, what should we do?! There will be chaos in the army... Ci
Although he has excellent archery skills, Xuzhou has always been full of talented people, and Chen Deng is the most cunning. If he is ambushed, Ci is afraid that he will not be able to defeat him. Ci's death is not a problem, but I am afraid that my lord will be lost. How will Jiangdong's foundation be saved by then?!"
/p>
Sun Ce said: "Although Ce has a career, he dare not forget his roots. Ce's father Sun Jian's ambition and hatred are not forgotten day and night. How can he restrain himself with his current career?!"
Sun Ce looked at the dark northern soil and said: "Jiangbei, my father's ambition is also my ambition! How can I cherish my body but my foundation and dare not come here?!"
Sun Ce pointed to the land north of the Yangtze River and said: "If we can cross the river and enter the north, even if Ce dies, he will not hesitate to die. As a husband, I dare not forget my father's ambition!"
Taishi Ci looked at the determined light in his eyes, clasped his fists and said: "Since my lord is determined, Ci can only repay him with death to protect my lord!"
"Let's go!" Sun Ce pulled Taishi Ciyin down the slope. It was even steeper here. He blew a whistle and told everyone to disperse. They agreed on a time to reunite. All the elite scouts dispersed and disappeared one by one.
.You must climb up from various steep places, and then take on various tasks to spy on the military situation.
Being dispersed will prevent the entire army from being wiped out. This is also a way to try our best to preserve information.
Everyone is gone, only two people are left!
Gao Erniang could only see the silhouettes of people, but it was impossible to hear what they said. She raised her hand, indicating that the people should disperse and chase each other out, and then signaled them to be careful with her hands.
Everyone nodded and left the place one by one!
They are all masters. It is not difficult to follow people, and it is not difficult to kill them. The only difficulty may be how to avoid the nose of the dog and the sharp eyes of the eagle from high in the sky!
Gao Erniang lay quietly on the spot and did not move until she saw the two climbing up the slope and then heading east. She waited quietly for a while and then got up to follow them. She walked slowly and breathed very lightly.
Sun Ce and Taishi Ci didn't notice it, and they headed towards the city wall not far away.
We came here to spy on military intelligence, so we naturally focus on information.
"How many troops would Ziyi be guarding this Jindu?!" Sun Ce pointed at the city wall and said. All important areas have natural defenses and artificial city wall repairs.
The existence of soldiers and horses can be traced in itself. The two of them are experienced at this, and they are thinking about where to get two horses to move around. Otherwise, without horses, they will always be very limited.
Gao Erniang stood in the woods and glanced at the city wall not far away.
She thought for a moment and found out where Sun Ce's goal was probably.
She turned a corner and took the path, planning to wait and see on the road!
