These soldiers, whether they are the elders above or ordinary soldiers, every cultivation is above him, and all of them have reached the True Martial Realm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The twenty Tang veterans are all powerhouses of the True Martial Realm!

This is the difference between the regular army and ordinary people, those who can join the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, except for the troops who are being trained, are basically all in the real martial arts realm.

And these veterans can serve in the army for ten years, or even longer, and they are the elite of the elite, and they don't have to worry about their strength at all.

"What a mess!"

"Did he think he was fighting? Twenty people is not many, and they are so scattered!"

"It's up to him. This guy doesn't seem to know anything. He won't be able to complete this mission. We'll leave him in the rear for a while, and don't drag us back. ”

"Yes. Those twenty people followed him and it was the wrong person, what a waste!"

......

When Wang Chong was training, the three of them also completed the collection of their own troops, and at the same time paid attention to the situation on Wang Chong's side.

Separated by a small hill, all three could only see the troops above their shoulders. Wang Chong's four echelons were mixed together, and in the eyes of everyone, they were chaotic, and there were no rules at all, and they looked down on them more and more in their hearts.

In addition, Wang Chong was born in the Kunwu training camp where civilians were concentrated, and several people didn't want to deal with Wang Chong anymore.

"Prepare, we're going to leave in a moment. If he can't come back and play by himself, he won't have to wait for him. When the time comes, we'll just go on our own. ”

Xu Qian said as he quickly turned his horse's head and walked towards his cavalry unit. Although there were only twenty troops, the first time he led the troops to fight, Xu Qian was very eager to try, and he had the urge to try his skills.

On the other side, Wang Chong did not let Xu Qian "succeed".

After several drills in succession, and at the same time tried several offensive and encirclement formations, Wang Chong ended the drill, with an appearance that looked ordinary, but in fact it was already a reborn twenty cavalry, more and more small hills, with billowing sand and dust, towards the place where Xu Gan, Huang Yongtu and others were.

"Having fun?"

Huang Yongtu raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Chong, the corners of his mouth full of sarcasm.

"Hmm. ”

Wang Chong smiled magnanimously, and he didn't care about him, and with a wave of his right hand, the team of twenty people immediately lined up, but silently returned to the original queue and stood next to the other lines of cavalry.

"Humph!"

When the three of them saw this scene, they all snorted, and then turned their heads away.

Wang Chong smiled, didn't care, and stood at the front of the queue alone.

"Whoa!"

That is, about half a cup of tea, a common falcon in the army, with golden hooks and sharp claws, falling from the sky like sharp arrows.

Zhang Gong, that is, the captain of this operation, hurriedly rode forward, raised his hands, caught the huge eagle falcon, untied a bamboo tube from it with his hands and feet, and then opened it, took a look, and then quickly galloped over, walked in front of several people, and presented it with both hands:

"The order of the imperial court, let us set off immediately and start the mission. This is the map of the action, and there are requirements. ”

Each mission is random, divided into a ring, and each person is responsible for a different task. The officials of Honglu Temple were responsible for designating the action collection points from the hundreds of collection points, while low-level lieutenants like Zhang Gong were responsible for commanding and recruiting the troops from all parts of the army, and waiting for them here.

The details of the mission were issued by the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War did not know who was carrying out the mission.

Each person is responsible for their own part of the process, so that the maximum confidentiality is maintained. Everyone did their duty and kept their duty, and at the same time ensured the execution of the task and prevented fraud.

"The task of the first link is to clean up horse bandits and mountain bandits along the way. One can't be spared. The mission requires that once more than six subordinates die, immediately exit the mission, and the operation will be regarded as a failure!"

Xu Qian looked at the content of the "news", slowly frowned, and then passed the letter to Huang Yongtu next to him, Huang Yongtu passed it to Bai Siling, and finally fell into Wang Chong's hands.

The "Silk Road" was a very narrow and distant road, which took months to reach the Western Regions, and many places in the middle were deserts, mountains, or wastelands......

On such a long journey, it is so convenient to have all kinds of snooping, wanting to rob houses, cut off beards and so on.

On the contrary, the Hu people and Hu merchants who traveled to and from the Silk Road were all very rich, and the things they bought and sold were not ordinary, pearls, agate, precious stones, spices, gold, and even charming Persian dancers.

All of this is too attractive, and a casual robbery is unspeakably rich.

Therefore, the "Silk Road" in the westward has also bred a large number of horse bandits and thieves, although the official army has been cracking down, but it has been repeatedly banned.

Lifting their heads, stiffening their necks, knowing that the consequences are serious and dangerous, there are not a few who still stick to it.

Most of those Hu merchants who eat a lot of food and stick are actually either rich or expensive, and they have invited a lot of good hands around them, and it is not a simple matter to eat them.

But even so, it can't stop the "enthusiasm" of those robbers. These horse bandits and bandits are really like leeks, cut one wave and another wave every year, and grow again after a while.

If only that's it.

The situation on the Silk Road is very complicated, at first it was only some Han people who were horse bandits and thieves in these places, but then it gradually became wrong, and some Hu people, big cannibals, and Tiaozhi people with good martial arts also found the huge profits in it, and after being robbed, they also fell into the grass.

And many times, the Hu people, the big cannibals and the Han people are also mixed together, and in the cottage, the fish and dragons are mixed.

The Hu people and the big cannibals provided information, and the Han people and the Hu people acted together, raiding homes and houses, the team grew bigger and bigger, and the goals of the robbery were constantly changing.

At the beginning, the robbers on the Silk Road also robbed Hu merchants, Hu people, and big cannibals, but later, it didn't matter who it was, as long as it passed through its own territory, there was oil and water to fish, and the Hu people and Han people robbed together.

And later, when it was the most excessive, I didn't know which mountain bandit or horse thief actually plundered the official and military units of the imperial court.

Because of that incident, the imperial court was furious, so it began to pay attention to this matter and began to sweep and clean up regularly......

The matter here is very complicated, Wang Chong had heard some of them back then, met some merchants who had been robbed, and they were all complaining about those horse bandits and bandits, so he was very clear.

It seems that his operation this time is to join a regular sweep of the imperial court.

"No wonder they sent people from Honglu Temple, and they sent eighty veterans of the regular army to us. ”

Wang Chong thought of the officials of Honglu Temple in the northwest corner of the capital, and thought in his heart.

In Wang Chong's memory, the "Silk Road" was related to the passage of Hu merchants and belonged to the management of Honglu Temple.

The regular clean-up activities of the horse bandits and bandits on the Silk Road have always been in charge of Honglu Temple.

It's not too difficult to clean up horse bandits and cottages. No matter how strong the horse bandits and bandits are, they cannot be stronger than the regular army, and they are seventy or eighty veterans who have experienced a hundred battles.

However, it is mentioned in the requirements that there can be no fish that slip through the net during the operation, and in the course of the mission, no more than six people can be killed under each command, which is the trouble.

Most of the people who can coil around the Silk Road are not ordinary people, most of them have dealt with the official army all over the world, and have their own philosophy of survival and mastery.

Some of the bandits were even armed with military crossbows, and some of them numbered in the hundreds, or even nearly a thousand.

In this kind of encirclement, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no damage.

The two conditions before and after mean that this operation is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Captain Zhang, it's understandable that the imperial court doesn't want to act, and there are too many dead and wounded. But it would be a little more difficult to run away from a single bandit or horse bandit, right? The mountains are so deep and the scope is so large, it is normal to run away from one or two. That's a bit too high. ”

Xu Qian's face was a little ugly.

"Hehe, my lord, this matter is actually very understandable. ”

Zhang Gong explained with a smile:

"These horse bandits and bandits are like weeds, if the evil is not exhausted, as long as one or two run away, once the limelight passes in the future, these people can pull up a mountain and build a cottage. On the way west, many horse bandits and bandits came in this way. ”

"If you want to deter these horse bandits and bandits, you must eliminate all the evil, and you must not leave a living mouth, so as to play a deterrent role and make the latecomers have a sense of awe. Otherwise, there is no point in such actions. It will only make those horse bandits and thieves more and more. ”

Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, Bai Siling and others looked at each other, and the complexity of the "Silk Road" obviously exceeded their expectations.

Only Wang Chong had expected this, so he was not too surprised.

"However, a few adults can rest assured, on the way of this trip, most of the horse thieves and mountain bandits are stragglers, and their strength is also insignificant, and they are not vulnerable in front of the official army, and they will not pose a threat to us. So the adults don't need to worry too much, just find a way to find them and prevent them from escaping. ”

Zhang Gong added with a smile.

"Phew!"

Hearing this explanation, Xu Qian and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Surprise me! I see, it's easy, just wait until late at night, and then we can act. Although the horse bandits and bandits are scattered around during the day, they will definitely return to their lair at night, and in the middle of the night, it is when people are sleepy and tired, and when they go out, they will definitely be caught off guard. Moreover, it can also prevent them from escaping. ”

Although he had not carried out a similar task before, Xu Gan's vision and insight were there, and he quickly made suggestions.
