Chapter 69: Going One
's Own Way "Am I the escort officer or are you the escort officer? You must listen to me along the way. If I say take a detour, then take a detour. If you are not convinced, just go back and report me to the general."
Qiao Chufeng looked like he would not listen to his subordinates' words, and he made the final decision.
Anyway, he had already made a plan.
When the barbarians came and robbed the food, these people naturally had no chance to go back alive.
Whatever the situation was at that time, it was up to him to say whatever he wanted.
Upon hearing this, the subordinates stopped talking immediately.
Qiao Chufeng was the highest officer among them, and whatever he said was what it was. This was the rule of the army.
Even if there was a mistake, they had to go back and report to the general.
For now, they had to take the road to the Cliff Valley.
The group turned the carriage around and headed for the Cliff Valley.
After walking for more than an hour, they were about to enter the valley. Qiao Chufeng suddenly walked from the front of the team to the back.
The soldiers looked confused.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Qiao Chufeng waved his hand: "Nothing, I just feel that the wind in the valley is strong and it makes my eyes uncomfortable. You walk in front and I'll cover the rear."
After hearing this, everyone continued to move forward.
Just when everyone was halfway there, there was a sudden noise from both sides. Everyone looked up and saw stones rolling down.
"Oh no, there is an ambush."
Everyone immediately drew out their swords and cut off the body of the horse, then jumped on the horse's back and beat the horse's belly desperately.
The horse seemed to be frightened and ran out directly.
As for those who did not enter the valley, they saw the noise and retreated directly to the back.
The people who cut the horse ropes also ran out in unison, and no one was injured.
Qiao Chufeng's face fell.
These barbarians were so useless. He had designed them so well to make it convenient for them to kill people, but what was the result!
No one was killed by the stones, not even the horses died. Instead, the food was crushed under the stones. It was really infuriating.
Qiao Chufeng was indeed very angry, but the most angry were those barbarians.
Those people sent soldiers to move the stones for most of the day, but what was the result!
No one was killed. It was really infuriating.
But now they couldn't care less, because the people below had already discovered them, and they didn't have to hide.
The barbarian general stood up, drew out his sword, and waved his hand.
"Brothers, follow me to rob food."
The barbarian soldiers immediately stood up and rushed towards the soldiers in the valley.
When Qiao Chuanbai saw those people rushing down, he waved his hand and a group of people immediately rushed up the cliff and occupied the place previously occupied by the barbarians.
They watched the barbarians rushing down, their faces full of excitement.
These people rushed to the front of the food first.
Qiao Chuanbai looked at the opponent's generals, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
It was Huo Yu who spoke first: "Cousin, that general seems to be General Hu."
This General Hu is the right-hand man of the barbarian commander, brave and invincible. My grandfather had a headache for a long time because of this man.
I didn't expect that this time he would personally lead people to rob food.
Qiao Chuanbai nodded: "It is indeed him."
General Hu is tall and strong, and has great strength. His weapon is a hammer. He did not kill the Great Xia Dynasty on the battlefield. When people see him, it is like seeing an enemy, and they want to cut him into pieces.
Huo Yu had fought with this General Hu before, and he was defeated. He had been holding a grudge in his heart for a long time. Now seeing this General Hu fall into the trap, he laughed immediately.
"This trip today is not in vain. Not only did I save my second uncle, but I was also able to return with a first-class merit. My luck is really good."
This is a solid military merit.
Qiao Chuanbai did not say a word, and his eyes were fixed on the people below.
General Hu brought a full 5,000 people this time. He asked 2,000 people to intercept and kill the fleeing soldiers, and the rest of the people moved stones and hurried to move all the food out.
Although Qiao Chuanbai did not bring 5,000 people this time, he also brought 2,000 people. These 2,000 people were all from the Huo family army, and they were transferred from his grandfather.
The Huo family army was elite, and they could fight ten to one. Although he had 2,000 people, they could be used as 20,000 people.
Qiao Chuanbai sent 500 people to rescue people, and the rest continued to ambush on the cliff with him.
Seeing that the barbarians had almost moved the stones, he spoke.
"All soldiers, listen to my order, prepare bows and arrows."
These barbarians actually prepared bows and arrows, but before they could use them, because of the commotion they made in advance, the people in the valley were alarmed, and those soldiers were too fast and ran away directly.
Now they were alone in the valley, focusing on food without any precautions, which made things convenient for Qiao Chuanbai.
He raised his hand, and everyone put arrows on their bows and pulled their bows. He
waved his hand again, and the arrows in his hand shot out.
The barbarian soldiers who were sorting food in the valley were all confused.
What happened?
Why are there still people up there?
The general reacted the fastest. He looked at his brothers who were shot and fell down, and his face sank.
At this moment, an arrow shot straight at his head. He couldn't dodge in time, and immediately pulled his men to block in front of him.
The arrow pierced straight into the chest of the men, and the men almost didn't react before they died.
Immediately afterwards, there was the general's reminder.
"Everyone be careful, there is an ambush above, everyone hide."
After hearing this, everyone immediately looked for a place to hide.
The valley was bare, with only the rocks that had just been moved to both sides and the carriage.
The soldiers had no choice but to hide behind the carriage or behind the rocks.
Huo Yu was up there, looking at the exposed buttocks and backs of these soldiers, speechless.
"That's it, is this considered hiding? Isn't this deceiving yourself?"
Just hiding the eyes and ears, with most of the body exposed, what's the point of hiding.
On the cliff, it's really hard to see clearly.
Especially the archery skills of the Huo family army are still very powerful, almost no arrows are missed, and in a short while, most of General Hu's men were killed.
General Hu was furious.
At this time, a soldier's bag of food in front of him was shot through, and sand leaked out.
The soldier couldn't help but cut a hole with his sword, and most of the sand "bang" ran out.
The barbarian soldier's face changed.
"General, this is bad. These bags don't contain food at all, but sand."
"What?"
General Hu's face changed. He didn't care about the danger in front of him. He walked forward directly, snatched the sword of the soldier beside him, and opened the food bags. It
was all sand. It was actually sand.
He was fooled.
The first person General Hu suspected was Qiao Chufeng.
Only the two of them knew about the plan this time. If Qiao Chufeng hadn't told others, how could others know about it.
So the sale of food and the transaction were all fake and deceptive.
Qiao Chufeng clearly used the transaction method to fool him deliberately, and then sent people to kill him?
General Hu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Qiao Chufeng not far away.
Qiao Chufeng felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by a demon.
