Chapter 26 An unexpected encounter

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

This is a square face that has been tanned due to long-term exposure to the sun.

"I hope we can catch up with the main force and hope the King of Wei doesn't know."

The skin, which had been exposed to wind and rain, looked very rough, and at this moment, a large amount of cold sweat was oozing out from the large pores.

This is a black soldier of the Wei State, and behind him, there are twenty black soldiers following closely. They are running quickly along this wide dirt road as if they are being whipped by an invisible whip.

"I regret that I shouldn't have coveted that jar of wine!"

As one of the captain-level soldiers in the Wei State's vanguard, he was well aware of the terrible consequences that soldiers who delayed military plans would face. Although he had been running non-stop for three hours, he still couldn't stop sweating whenever he thought of the tortures in the legion.

Why haven't you caught up with the main group yet?!

He was extremely anxious and annoyed. He knew he shouldn't have drunk too much. After the military meeting last night, an old comrade from the same period brought him a jar of wine. Although he knew he was going to go out in the morning, he couldn't resist the enthusiasm and selfishness of his old comrade and drank with him. It was not until he woke up after noon the next day that he was shocked to find that the main force had already set out.
He had already forgotten all about his achievements and fine wine. At this moment, he felt that his greatest wish in life was to see the backs of a large army on this seemingly endless dirt road.
"Captain! Let's take a break!" A breathless shout came from the back of the team.

Feeling uneasy in his heart, he turned around and roared angrily, "Rest for nothing! I tell you, if we can't catch up with the main force today, next year will be the death anniversary of our entire team! Run as hard as you can!"

The superiors usually don't reflect on themselves. At this time, he didn't think that it was actually because of his greed for alcohol that the team was seriously out of touch with the main force.
"Captain! At least let me pee, I can't hold it any longer!" The black soldier who was running last shouted with a red face.

"Damn it, lazy people are full of shit and piss!" He cursed fiercely, but still stopped: "Everyone take a five-minute break. If anyone dares to ask me to take a break again, I'll chop him to pieces!"

The exhausted black soldiers sat down on the dirty dirt road as if they had been granted amnesty, breathing in the air with big gulps, as if they had never felt the air was so fresh and sweet. The black soldier who shouted that he needed to "pee" hurriedly ran to the grass beside the dirt road.
He paced back and forth. Although he was very tired, he did not dare to sit down and rest like the other black soldiers. He just prayed in his heart: I must catch up with the main force!

Suddenly, there was a loud "rustling" sound coming from the side of the road, like the sound of a wild beast rushing out of the grass. He subconsciously looked back, only to see the black soldier who was "urinating" and fell backwards to the side of the dirt road, holding his neck with his hands amid splattering blood.

".?!" He was stunned, because he saw five soldiers in blue armor in the lush grass in front of his dead men.

The vanguard troops of Shu? !
The black soldiers who were originally sitting on the road to rest stared blankly at the five blue soldiers in the bushes, and they didn't seem to react.

"Run!" A blue soldier who looked no more than 20 years old suddenly shouted, and then five blue soldiers turned around and ran back into the bushes like mice that suddenly came out of a hole and saw humans.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Why are there Shu's vanguard troops in our rear area?!"

"Captain, what should we do?!"

Amid the chaos, the black soldiers finally reacted, and with clanging sounds, their sharp swords were unsheathed.

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha!" He couldn't stop laughing, laughing out loud.

Great! There is help! There is help!
He captured this group of Shu's vanguards and went back to report to the King of Wei. During the march, his team discovered traces of the enemy and it was during the pursuit that they separated from the main force!

"Magic soldier!" He felt relieved, and a cruel smile immediately appeared on his dark, square face.

"Send a signal and request the large force ahead to turn back for support."

With a sharp sound of "whoosh", a fireball leaped straight into the sky. The tail of the fireball was very long. From a distance, it looked like an orange-red stick slowly rising from the ground.

Time goes back half an hour ago.

In order to verify Wang Yao's speculation, everyone reached a consensus and began to move forward again. Of course, out of caution, everyone did not take the main road, but groped their way forward along the lush grass.

To everyone's surprise, just as Wang Yao predicted, there was no trace of the black soldiers along the way. The 400 black soldiers in front were actually just a cover for Wei's feint attack!

"You're awesome!" Maomao patted Wang Yao's shoulders excitedly, her dark eyes sparkling with admiration. Wang Yao rubbed his shoulders awkwardly, which were a little painful from Maomao's pats. This girl is really strong!
"In fact, as long as you pay more attention to the details, this trick is easy to see through." As he said this, Wang Yao looked at Shi Liang next to him.

At this moment, Shi Liang's face was extremely ugly. He glanced at Maomao and saw that Maomao was also looking at him. Then he said reluctantly, "I lost. I will give you one gold coin when I return to Jingzhou."

"Fortunately, I didn't join the gamble." Xiao Ye patted his heart with an expression as if he had survived a disaster. One gold coin was almost two months' salary for these soldiers!
Erda didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Wang Yao clearly showed a hint of shock and admiration.

In fact, as a temporary captain, Erda should not have taken his teammates to take such risks, but he was really curious. Although Wang Yao's speculation was very convincing, he couldn't help but question it, because he actually thought that his speculation was more accurate. So when Wang Yao made a bet with Shi Liang, he did not stop it because Erda really wanted to see who was right and who was wrong between him and Wang Yao.

Of course, after confirmation, it was found that he was indeed wrong, and extremely wrong. Wang Yao's speculation was correct, which undoubtedly convinced Erda.

Although Erda is a senior soldier with an arrogant personality, he is able to take on the position of temporary captain at the critical moment because he understands the principle of "choose the good and follow it, and change the bad." In this regard, Shi Liang is not as studious and open-minded as Erda.

"Okay, now that we have verified that Wang Yao's speculation is correct, let's go back!" As if sensing the subtle awkwardness in the atmosphere, Maomao quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over. The group then walked back in the direction they came from, urged by Maomao.

No one spoke on the road, and Shi Liang didn't seem to be in a good mood either. He walked alone at the front, chopping the grass with the sharp knife in his hand, like a sulky child taking out his anger on a toy.

Looking at Shi Liang's depressed back, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel a little regretful. In fact, he made this bet just because he was angry for a while, but there was nothing he could do. Who told Shi Liang to always look down on him? This was Wang Yao's biggest weakness after traveling through time. Didn't he see that the last person who looked down on him had gone to see God?
His arm seemed to be hit by something. Wang Yao turned his head and saw Maomao pouting towards Shi Liang's back, then staring at him without saying a word. The meaning was very clear - you made him angry, so you'll have to deal with it yourself!
All right--

Wang Yao sighed, not wanting to cause any trouble, so he quickened his pace and caught up with Shi Liang. What happened next happened in just a moment.

Wang Yao walked up to Shi Liang's back with a smile, and when he was about to pat him on the shoulder, Shi Liang chopped the grass in front of him with the sharp knife in his hand. The two-meter-high grass was neatly broken in the middle. Just like that - a black shadow appeared in front of Shi Liang without any warning as the grass fell.

He was a soldier wearing black armor. He was unbuttoning the armor around his crotch. When he saw Shi Liang suddenly appear in the bushes, he was stunned.

Shi Liang was also stunned.

But Wang Yao was not stunned.

Black soldier?!
The moment the thought flashed through his mind, Wang Yao suddenly pushed his feet hard, and with the help of his speed boots, he bypassed Shi Liang and rushed in front of the black soldier like a flash, and at the same time swung the black sword in his right hand backhand -

A beautiful black arc passed through the black soldier's neck. With a "Puff!" sound, scarlet blood gushed out, splattering all over Wang Yao and Shi Liang. The black soldier then widened his eyes, covered his bloody neck, and fell backwards to the ground.

Maomao and Erda Xiaoye at the back did not see the black soldiers because of the bushes, but they saw Wang Yao and Shi Liang who were covered in blood.

"What happened?!"

Three men ran over with knives, but the scene before them made them gasp.

Black armored army!
There are many black-armored soldiers of Wei State on the dirt road outside the grass!

Both sides stared at each other with strange expressions. No one had expected that the enemy would appear in front of them in this way! !

“Run!” Wang Yao suddenly yelled, waking up the four people who were still standing there in a daze.

escape!
Without hesitation or communication, the five people who reacted turned around and ran into the bushes behind them without saying a word.

The strong wind was whistling in their ears, and the saw blades of the grass kept hitting their faces, causing a burning pain. But at this moment, no one was in the mood to care about these things, because the huge commotion behind them indicated that a large number of black soldiers were swarming in and were planning to tear them to pieces!

Why are there still black soldiers? !
Everyone was thinking in panic.

Suddenly, a sharp sound came from behind. Wang Yao turned his head subconsciously and saw a fiery red light flying vertically into the sky behind him! From a distance, it looked like an orange-red stick slowly rising from the ground.

"Damn it! Our whereabouts have been exposed, and the black soldiers are calling for reinforcements!!"
