Under the leadership of the girl surnamed Wei, Jiang Cai's department turned into the depths of the dense forest, and just when they were in doubt, they suddenly found that in the forest in front of them, a road more than one person wide appeared. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The traces on the road showed that the road was familiar, and they immediately got on their horses and galloped through the forest under the guidance of the girl, and the speed was immediately increased.

Followed by Shi Zhong, the rest of the people were left in the middle of the team, and were not sent to the rear army, so there was a bit of hostage flavor in it, of course, both sides will not doubt anything, in the war, it is not normal not to do this, trust needs to be tested, and whether it is a letter or experience, it is not enough to prove anything.

From Shi Zhong's point of view, it can be seen that her riding skills are very familiar, although she is not exquisite, but she already has some foundation. This road, hidden deep in the dense forest, was hidden by vegetation in many places, and it would have been almost impossible to find it if it had not been for such a guide, let alone walked up so hastily, and yet......

As he surveyed the woman's back, he was also counting the time, and every other moment he would raise his hand to look at the disc on his wrist, a precise timekeeping tool that had become a favorite of spies, no less useful than a claircase and a microphone. Watching the time pass by moment by moment, Shi Zhong's doubts became bigger and bigger, if there was no mistake in the map, and the direction of this road was not wrong, they should have crossed Guohua Prefecture!

Of course, he didn't ask directly, it was their goal to go around to the front of the Mongols, and only then could they be surprised, but how far to go around, not only did he not know, but Jiang Cai didn't say, the reason is very simple, this has to wait for the news of the spies to come, the latest news is that Ma Ji has met the enemy, and the two sides are tentative, and there are no major casualties.

Of course, a small team of 100 people will not be placed in Jiang Cai's eyes, that is, the team of 1,000 people behind him is only afraid to arouse his interest, the problem is that the number of Yuan people's scouts on this side may be as many as three thousand, how to divide them, and ensure that it is the reason why they work so hard to hide their traces.

Jiang Cai has not yet been arrogant enough to use his three thousand horsemen who are not very useful in training and skills, plus the five thousand foot soldiers of Ma Ji, he can gather and annihilate three thousand Mongolian cavalry in a strange environment, if the victory is so easy, how can the Great Song Dynasty fall to this point? What Jiang Cai and Ma Ji are pursuing is a result that can be boasted of, so that the morale of the new army can be further consolidated, and those soldiers know that the other party is not invincible, and that's it.

Walking through the dense forest, relying on the eyes of the spies, looking for a suitable opportunity, Jiang Cai's heart silently recited this sentence, and before he could come up with a clue, he saw Shi Zhong in front of him make a slow-down gesture, and he immediately gave the same order, slowing down the speed of the entire team.

"There is an exit ahead, and a certain person will go to explore the way, so you should be on guard."

Turned his head and said hello to Jiang Cai on the horse, Shi Zhong, who was dressed in a gentleman's attire, turned around with the girl, Jiang Cai nodded without saying a word, picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked forward, the dark mountain road stretched to the depths of the dense forest, it was obvious that it was not the end of the road, if no one led the way, I was afraid that I didn't know where to stop at all.

The sky outside had already darkened, and as soon as he walked out of the dense forest, Shi Zhong was taken aback, because he actually saw the light, and his body immediately subconsciously made a motion to roll off the horse, causing the girl next to him to laugh softly, his face was a little feverish, and he grabbed the clairvoyant mirror hanging on his chest and pasted it on his eyes.

They were standing on the side of a mountain, and the lights in the distance indicated that it should be the stockade of some of the people. Of course, Shi Zhong was surprised by this, he entered this area very early, and he could understand the customs of the local people, unless there was a special moment, at this hour, the village would not have such a dazzling fire, because fire oil is a very expensive thing, he habitually half-squatted down, carefully adjusted the claircopy in his hand, and slowly saw the situation of the village under the mountain.

The light of the fire wasn't exactly from the torches, it was some burning room!

"My surname is Wei, don't call that person, you can ......" The girl didn't know when she squatted next to him, and was about to say something, when suddenly Shi Zhong put down the clairfront mirror in her hand, and an elbow hit pressed her to the ground.

The posture of the two was a little strange, Shi Zhong rode on top of her, his elbow bent and pressed against her neck, and the other hand pulled out a sharp blade and aimed it at her face, the cold blade not only did not make her afraid, but "giggled" and laughed.

"Do you want my body, here?"

"Say, why did you bring us here?"

Although he hadn't been here, Shi Zhong could see at a glance that the village below was not Guohua Prefecture, but Wanfeng Prefecture, which was said to have been burned down by the Tartars!

"You asked me to take you to the Mongols, then here's what's the problem?"

"You ......"

Shi Zhong couldn't see what kind of expression that face was covered with oil paint, but there was a look of fear in his eyes, this woman was not afraid of death at all. Annoyed, his elbow couldn't help but use force, which made the girl gasp, and coughed a few times in a row, but there was not a word of begging for mercy in his mouth.

"What's wrong?"

Just when Shi Zhong didn't know what to do, Jiang Cai's voice sounded at the right time, and he realized that he had delayed for too long, and the current posture was too indecent, so people didn't know what to think when they saw it.

Brother Cai, of course Jiang Cai will not think crookedly, Shi Zhong must have his own reason for suddenly turning his face, this reason must be related to the lights under the mountain, he looked into the distance with a clairvoyant mirror, and his face slowly became solemn. Shi Zhong let go of the hand that was pressing the woman, stood up and dragged her up, then grabbed her head from behind and put the knife in his hand on her neck.

"You want us to avenge you?" Jiang Cai's voice made the girl stunned, she could laugh at Shi Zhong, but she couldn't face this tower-like black shadow, and her mediocre words actually made her feel extremely stressed.

"I don't know your plans, but the road is so fast that no one would have thought that you would be able to catch them off guard when you came out of here, isn't that what you want? Of course, I also want to take revenge myself, and if you can agree, you can do whatever you want me to do. The girl lowered her eyes, not daring to see his reaction.

"How many people are down there?" Not only her, but even Shi Zhong, who was holding her hostage, raised his head in surprise, the latter knew Jiang Cai very well, and knew that since he said so, he was moved, but ......

"The Tartars have burned our stockade, and there are not many people in it, and I have inquired with my clansmen before, and it will not exceed three hundred at most."

The girl was a little excited, of course she heard what the other party meant, otherwise just a few of them, let alone three hundred, even dozens of Mongolian cavalry could not be defeated, but the other party's face was gloomy and made her feel a little uneasy.

"Shi Biaozi, give you a quarter of an hour, go explore the way, and the news will come back immediately."

Jiang Cai obviously didn't fully believe her words, although Shi Zhong was unwilling, but since it was an order, he would obey it, and it was not easy to go down the mountain from here, but he was afraid that the time spent on the road would be close to a quarter of an hour, so how could he think about it. In the blink of an eye, the girl felt that her body was being let go, and when she looked back, the fierce man had disappeared into the woods.

"Down, have your relatives." Before the girl could react, Jiang Cai's words struck again, making her almost lose her footing.

"You...... How do you know? The girl's voice was already crying, which Shi Zhong couldn't do with a knife: "My mother is in their hands." ”

Jiang Cai closed his eyes in the night, how could he not know what the Mongols would do, they would kill all the men, including children, but women, especially women with a little beauty, would become trophies, this girl was so scheming, how could it be just to kill a few Mongols?

The suppressed cry of the girl was heard very well in the mountain wind, and the person also squatted on the ground with his knees in his hands, Jiang Cai had no intention of comforting her, if he didn't drive these Tartars out, whether it was the Shan people or the Song people, the end would be the same, of course he would not do this to avenge this woman, or to rescue a victim, the current battle is the first place.

When the news of Shi Zhong came back, he already had a rough plan in his mind, which was actually only conceived at this moment, and the next thing was the reaction of the Mongols that was the key to success or failure.

There was no time to pick, so Jiang Cai made a quick decision and directly pulled out three hundred people from the team in front, such an action did not require any assembly, and he could directly rush down from the mountains and forests. The girl on the side had already stopped standing up, watching them act with a blank eye, and the expression of wanting to stop talking fell on Jiang Cai's eyes, and her tone was still cold.

"You and your men go ahead and lead the way."

"Ah...... Be. ”

The girl took the bow and arrow that had been returned to them, and took the few people who were painted with oil paint, and went into the forest with a cat's waist, Jiang Cai shook his head, and followed behind with his people. It was evident that these people were more familiar with the environment, and walked much faster than Shi Zhong before, and it only took about half an hour for all the people to crunch around the village.

"There are less than three hundred people on it, and it is estimated that there are about a hundred." Shi Zhong lowered his voice: "I have observed it all around, there is no warning in the Tartars, all the people are in the stockade, and there are no patrols around, if we start quickly, we can solve it in two quarters of an hour." ”

There was an irrepressible anger in Shi Zhong's tone, Jiang Cai certainly understood what he was for, the place where they were lying was under the stockade, and there was a faint sound from above, in addition to the laughter and noise of the Tartars, and the screams and cries of the women that accompanied them.

This can be regarded as the rear, it is expected that the Tartars are not guarded, if there is no one to guide the way, no one would have thought that there will be such a road in the depths of the dense forest, with their combat strength, even if thousands of people come, they are afraid that they are not in the eyes of the Tartars, so they will be so unscrupulous, when Jiang Cai's eyes turned to the girl on the side, the latter's body trembled slightly, and his lips were bitten together, trying his best to control the emotions that were about to explode.

"What you want is to be taken by surprise and annihilated in one fell swoop, you are familiar with this place, tell me how to do it." Hearing his question, the girl's expression eased slightly.

"The stockade has two doors, the front and the back, and most of the houses inside have been burned, and the people ...... It should be in the council hall in the village, that place is made of stone, and there are a few other places, and they are not very ......."

"In this way, leave a hundred people outside to monitor, Shi Biaozi, you and a certain team each take a team, and rush forward and backward." Jiang Cai interrupted her words and began to assign tasks: "Your people are responsible for leading the way, and you have to go through any possible hiding place, and finally meet in that big room, kill them together, and don't let anyone be caught." ”

This village is located at the foot of the mountain, not far from the right river, in the Hengshan village and Guohua Prefecture, the geographical location is very good, it may be for this reason, it will be paid special attention to the Tartars, the village itself is not big, because most of the houses are still burning, the "crackling" sound just covers their footsteps when they enter, and the igniting fire illuminates the surrounding situation, which greatly facilitates their actions.

The girl was in Shi Zhong's team, and the woman with the bow and arrow ran almost all the way in, and Shi Zhong had no choice but to pull his heels. Fortunately, after entering the inside, she also knew the severity, and took them to sneak quietly under a room, and heard the sound of snoring like thunder inside, Shi Zhong gently picked it with a short knife, and the door was opened with a "squeak", he glanced at the girl on the other end, and the two started almost at the same time, Shi Zhong rolled into the house on the spot, and the girl dodged up and pulled the wooden bow inside.

"Ahh

As for the tartar on the bed, Shi Zhong pressed his head and dragged it his neck, directly cut off the whole head, and tied his hair braid in a knot on his belt, so he tied it up, and the blood fell dripping down, and even the girl was shocked by that look.

The two women apparently knew each other, and the girl asked her a few words in the local dialect, as if to comfort and inquire about the news, and when the weeping woman was quiet, she made a gesture to her, and then was sent out of the village by the sergeant behind her, and temporarily placed in the group of people on the perimeter guard.

"She said that most of the Tartars and women were in the council chamber, and that this man was a small leader who was in charge of more than a dozen people." After speaking, the girl turned her head and wiped it on her face: "My mother is also there." ”

There are few such houses, and those who can live in them are naturally the leaders, and after solving a few places in the same way, Shi Zhong's waist has been tied to several bloody heads, and as the voices of people get louder and louder, they gradually approach the most conspicuous stone hall, and at the same time see the figure of the shadow on the opposite side, which is another team led by Jiang Cai, who came in from the back door of the stockade.

When the two teams converged, they found a problem, this hall did not have any windows except for the middle door, and there were nearly a hundred Tartars and a large number of women inside, it was not impossible to attack, so casualties would be inevitable.

"What should I do?"

Jiang Cai and Shi Zhong looked at each other, and immediately knew each other's intentions, no other way was feasible, because they didn't have time, once they let the Tartars inside get the weapons, they would form a stalemate with them, which was absolutely unacceptable. Apparently thinking of this, the girl glanced at the open door and nodded with red eyes.

"After a round of crossbows, everyone rushes inside, and whoever stands in front of them is the enemy." Jiang Cai turned his gaze to the girl: "You come and shoot the first arrow." ”

After a brief preparation, the two teams of people and horses crouched on both sides of the gate, Shi Zhong and the others who were standing at the head quietly glanced inside, and then quickly retracted their heads, and wrote down the location of the tartar in their hearts.

"Get down!" In a high-pitched voice, she shouted the local dialect as she shot the feather arrow in her hand, sending a Mongol with a cup to the ground on her back, and the hall suddenly fell silent, except for her screams echoing in the air, and for a moment everyone stayed there.

When Shi Zhong and Jiang Cai rushed in with the Song army wearing red jackets on their heads, everyone came back to their senses, and the woman who reacted faster immediately fell to the ground, and the slow one was unfortunately shot by the flying arrows, and those Mongols suddenly found that they could still stand in the hall, except for them, they were enemies, and began to panic to find their weapons, but it was too late.

Shi Zhonghu, who threw down the crossbow, roared and pounced, the sharp blade in his hand nailed the tartar under him to the ground, pulled it out, licked his tongue on the knife, and stared at the next target viciously with his hideous eyes, the bloodthirsty expression and the human head on his waist made people shudder.

Jiang Cai's long knife flew in the unarmed crowd of Tartars, and the screams rang out again and again, and a Tartar actually dragged the woman under him to try to block it, and he stabbed the two of them through without hesitation, and a few Tartars who reacted quickly found their weapons, but they were soon overwhelmed by the Song army that was flooding in, and when he pulled out his saber, he found that he had attacked the other side of the hall, and the situation was roughly controlled by his own people.

The reason why I want to say roughly is because in the corner of the wall not far from him, a Tartar is holding a woman hostage, although the woman is not clothed, there is not the slightest fear in her eyes, but with deep relief, even if she has a scimitar around her neck, at that moment Jiang thought that her eyes were spent.

On the other end, the girl who was fighting with him was trembling all over, and the hand holding the bow kept trembling, it seemed that she was trying to find out the flaws of the other party, but the Tartar was very cunning, most of her body was hiding behind the woman, only the small half of her head was exposed, and she looked at the situation in the hall with her eyes, and in that eye, Jiang saw the dying struggle and despair, and madness.

The woman who was held hostage by him suddenly laughed, and said something to the girl in the local dialect, but the girl shook her head helplessly, and seemed to refuse to agree. At this moment, the woman screamed, lowered her head and slammed into the blade, the Tartar behind her obviously did not expect it, and was stunned to reveal most of her head, the girl let go of her hand, and the feather arrow flew out, grazing the top of the Tartar's head and nailing it to the wall, before the Tartar came to his senses, a white light flashed, and the sharp short blade was inserted into his eyebrows, until there was no handle.

With a "bang", the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground along with the woman in front of him, but he leaned in the corner behind him, not understanding how all this happened until he died.

"Mother!" The girl threw down the bow and arrow in her hand, cried and pounced, Jiang Cai shook his head, he saw it very clearly, the woman's neck had been cut, and most of the time she couldn't live.

Shi Zhong walked past them, pulled out his short blade, cut off the head of the tartar with a knife, glanced at his outfit, and walked to Jiang Cai's side with his head.

"It's a hundred households, our casualties are not big, a few of them are hung up, they don't matter, more than 30 women in this house died, and more than 70 survived." He looked back at the weeping girl: "All the tartars didn't run, except for the dead ones, and a few were caught alive." ”

"Oh, take so-and-so to see."

Jiang Cai followed him to a corner surrounded by his own men, where three Mongols with drooping heads sat there, occasionally sneaking a glance at them, looking at the angry eyes around them, and then lowering their heads.

"Who can speak Chinese?" Jiang Cai's words stunned them.

"Won't you? Then you're of little use. ”

Jiang Cai made a look, several sergeants drew their swords, and flashed on their faces, two of them didn't know why, showing puzzled eyes, and the other was busy shouting.

"I ...... I will, don't kill me. ”

"Why do you only have a hundred-man team here, where have the rest of the people gone?" Jiang Cai stared at him and asked.

"I said." This Tartar is not very fluent in Chinese, and he sweats in a hurry: "Originally, we had 500 people here, but today an order suddenly came and most of the people were transferred to the front, and there were only so many people." ”

"Who gave the order, and where did it go?" Jiang Cai became interested when he heard it.

"Yes...... It is Wulan Hudu Wanhu, saying that it was discovered before...... You Song people, you have to transfer people to fight. The Tartar gestured again and again, lest the other party hear clearly.

"What kind of Ulan is that, how many people can he muster?"

"Three...... Three thousand. ”
