The Golmud River is the largest and longest freshwater river in the Qaidam Basin, which is formed by the melting water of ice and snow in the Kunlun Mountains, but it is not a smooth and orderly river, the whole river is composed of dozens of small rivers and lakes, and some forests and grasslands of different sizes are distributed between the rivers and lakes.

In the upper reaches of the Holan Qu, the meltwater of ice and snow melts into a low-lying land, forming a lake with a radius of three or four miles, south of the lake is a pasture of 1,000 acres, which can only be grazed by 2,000 sheep at most, and there is a lush forest growing on the lake side of the pasture, and there is a narrow entrance at the north and south ends, making this pasture very hidden. But the ranch had now been turned into a more crowded barracks, with hundreds of white tents, stables and warehouses for the 6,000 Tuoba Wei soldiers.

This place is very secluded, surrounded by forests, and cannot be seen from the outside, if you are not careful, even outside the lake, you would not have thought that there is a military camp with more than 6,000 people living here. Moreover, there are many hidden sentry posts at the north and south entrances of the barracks, and if you strayed into them, I am afraid that you will become a corpse within ten steps.

At noon that day, a piece of dead wood drifted from the northeast of the lake to the south shore, and when it reached the middle of the lake, the dead wood slowly stopped, and after a while, three human heads emerged from below.

These three people are the Shura Wei sent to spy on information, and they don't need to go ashore, they can see the military camp through the cracks in the woods in the lake.

Tuoba Wei's soldiers were eating, in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, very lively.

The armor of these soldiers was all before the Sui army, but most of these people's appearance and hairstyles have exotic appearances, including Qiang, Western Regions, Xianbei, Sogdians, and Han people.

The three Shura guards observed for about a moment, then dived into the water and pushed the dead wood to other places to watch, and so on for ten places before drifting to the northeast shore.

In a short time they came ashore on the shore of a leafy lake, went to the woods to change into clean clothes, and rode on their horses to the east.

。。。。。

In this operation of the Sui army, the main general was Niu Jinda, and Pei Xingyan became the deputy general instead. The two are the earliest generals to follow Yang Tong, Niu Jinda has been honed by so many years of war, and already has rich practical combat experience, but for various reasons, every war he participated in, the highest was only the status of deputy marshal, and it was the first time in his life to lead the army to fight alone.

This is also Yang Tong's habit of employing people, as long as Niu Jinda completes this task perfectly, he will shoulder the main general of the war zone in the future, and when the time is ripe, he will become the head of an army, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Su Dingfang, Wei Chigong, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Xie Yingdeng and others are all coming out step by step, this is also the Great Sui is not short of good generals, otherwise, how can there be time for them to grow steadily?

At this time, the 10,000 Xiaoguo army led by Niu Jinda hid in a dense forest, about ten miles away from the pasture where the Tuoba Wei military camp was located.

"General Niu, you can follow this forest all the way to the west bank of the lake, and then go five or six miles south, where there is a forest path, close to the entrance of the pasture." Jia Luohan, who served as a guide, was telling Niu Jinda about the surrounding terrain, he was very active in order to atone for his sins, buy back the lives of his family, and showed great enthusiasm, seeing that the map of the West Sea drawn by the Great Sui was relatively rough, especially the Qaidam Basin was almost blank, so he drew out the trade routes that had been opened up for decades, as well as the topography and landform of the Qaidam Basin in detail.

"How far are you talking about getting closer, be specific!" Niu Jinda said.

Jia Luohan thought seriously for a while, and said, "About, about three miles long, definitely less than four miles. ”

Niu Jinda quickly calculated in his heart: four miles is not far, and it can be killed in a moment, but the rumbling sound of horses' hooves will inevitably alarm the enemy army, if Tuoba Wei runs into the Kunlun Mountains in the south, then he will have no shame to face the saint, so this attack point is definitely not a priority attack point.

Thinking of this, Niu Jinda asked, "Where is the exit from the pasture?" ”

"Here it is!" Garohan pointed to the map he had drawn by hand: "Bypassing this great lake from the east, just south is the bed of the Holanqu River, which is the exit of the pasture. ”

Niu Jinda just wanted to speak, and a soldier in the distance reported: "General Niu, the scout is back." ”

The three Shura Guards walked quickly in front of Niu Jinda and saluted, "See the Great General!" ”

Niu Jinda hurriedly asked, "Have you found the enemy?" ”

One of the Shura guards replied: "General Huiyu, we have found the whereabouts of the enemy army, about 5,000 people, judging from the hairstyle, most of them are Qiang, Western Regions, Xianbei, Sogdian, and very few Han. ”

Niu Jinda glanced at Yin Mingyue and Yang Qinfang, who were fighting with the army, and said: "In order to make the army's whereabouts closer and later detected by the enemy, my idea is that the two generals set off at the ugly time and are responsible for cutting off the light and dark posts, and if they collect key information, report it in time." After completing the mission, Shurawei scattered the surrounding jungle to capture enemy deserters, especially those in the leader's outfit, and would rather catch the wrong ones than let them go. ”

"The last will obey." Yin Mingyue and Yang Qinfang are specially here to clear the light and dark whistles, and they have no different meanings for this task.

"Next, it's our mission." Niu Jinda said to Pei Xingyan: "There must be an army at the exit and entrance, I will lead 3,000 people to set up an ambush at the southern exit, General Pei, you will lead the main force to attack from the entrance in the northwest, and the attack time is set at Yinshi, what do you think?" ”

Pei Xingyan has been the coach for many years, and he is very good at making decisions on the spot, and Yang Tong asked him to serve as Niu Jinda's deputy general, but he was also worried that Niu Jinda was inexperienced and made mistakes. He saw that Niu Jinda was thoughtful, and he had nothing to add.

This is Niu Jinda's first time, he will not steal the limelight from his brother, and said with a smile: "It's better for you to come to the main attack, I'll go to the exit to lay the net, what do you think?" ”

"Then it's a word, let's go our separate ways immediately!" Niu Jinda understands Pei Xingyan's good intentions, but as a brother, friendship has always been hidden in his heart, and the word 'thanks' is not spoken.

。。。。。。。。。。

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the time gradually comes to the ugly time, which is also called the rooster crowing and the wild chicken, that is, 1-3 o'clock in the morning.

The lights of the ranch barracks were extinguished one after another, and it slowly fell into darkness, and most of the soldiers had fallen asleep, but the dozen or so soldiers deployed at the entrance of the pasture still patrolled back and forth talking and laughing, and looked vigilantly into the dark forest from time to time.

Since Yang Dong led the army into Heyuan, the county soldiers of Xihai County were also on strict guard, so that their lives were not as happy as before. Before Yang Tong's arrival, although the West Sea had been recovered by the Sui Dynasty, it did not have much impact on those of them who lived in darkness, and the common people who were oppressed by them were afraid of being retaliated against, and most of them dared not speak out in anger, and did not dare to declare their grievances. They didn't eat at that time, as long as they went out for a walk, they could eat and take at the same time, even if the land of the West Sea was plagued by the Xue brothers and Murong Fuyun over and over again, but as long as there were people, there was always oil and water to squeeze, and there were always girls to play.

But after Yang Tong, the emperor, came, everything became martial law, and the big boss could only take everyone to retreat here for refuge.

Think about the days when you used to eat and drink without worrying and having women to play, and then look at the nest in the saline-alkali land now, it is really a world of difference, and it is difficult to describe it.

Just when everyone was reminiscing about the past, insulting Yang Tong, and looking forward to the future, the cold killing machine was approaching with a faint fragrance, and a soldier who was not aware of it sniffed a few breaths into the air fiercely, with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Woo Woo ......"

More than a dozen poisonous arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness behind them, the dozen or so sentries were hit by arrows in their heads, and they waved weakly with their hands, and then fell to the ground, and the two slender black shadows immediately climbed up the sentry tower to control the alarm bell, and the other sentries sleeping in the sentry tower were all easily cut by the Shura Wei who rushed in, and in the stunned eyes of the two soldiers, the two Shura guards jumped down from above, and at the same time, the other dark sentry tower was also pulled out by Shura Wei in the same way

In the not bright night, dozens of slender figures like civet cats quietly sneaked into the interior of the ranch, and in groups of three, they touched the sentry towers on both sides of the forest path.

One by one, the girls wearing bronze masks quietly burrowed behind an enemy soldier, skillfully covering the right mouth and nose, and the dagger was gently pulled on the neck, and the blood gushed out so silently, and died in the darkness silently.

"Yo~"

"Yo~"

Just when the Shura guard, who had entered the ranch from the front, felt a light in his eyes, a rhythmic eagle cry sounded in the air, and everyone looked up, only to see the huge golden eagle flapping its wings in the air, gliding in a special trajectory.

"Princess, it is actually a holy condor." Zheng Liwan's subtle voice came from the darkness, and her words were full of incredulity.

"Hmm." Yang Qinfang on the side nodded.

Zheng Liwan asked again: "Why is it here?" ”

Yang Qinfang knew that Yang Dong was sent to protect himself and Yin Mingyue, and his heart was sweet, but the dead duck snorted coldly with a hard mouth and duplicity, "Supervise me." ”

At this moment, the woods trembled, and fifteen Shura guards moved between the jungles and quickly came to their side, each with a Shura mask on their faces, looking extremely hideous.

The man at the head was tall and long, holding a strange large sword, the body of the sword abruptly grew a 'branch', and after crossing the sword grid, the hilt of the sword was protected in a semicircle. The body of the sword near the hilt is very large, slowly retracting forward, and what is even more unusual is the front half of the sword, with a triangular hole hollowed out in the middle, which has the characteristics of a sword, a sword, and a spear. This is the Yin Ming Moon Heavenly Strange Sword given by Yang Tong, also known as the peerless good sword.

Yin Mingyue's vigorous posture is matched with a unique Shura mask and a unique Heavenly Sword, giving people a different kind of temptation, just like an ancient Shura. She asked softly, "Is the mission complete?" Have you come across valuable information? ”

The march only talks about the level of military rank, regardless of background and seniority, and Yang Qinfang's military rank is far less high than Yin Mingyue, and the Rakshasa battalion is also under the jurisdiction of the Shura Army, at this time, Yang Qinfang is only a general under Yin Mingyue.

She replied respectfully: "Back to Shura, we advanced in a cone formation, and we have cut off the light and dark posts in front of the enemy camp, and successfully completed the task assigned by General Niu. There are no deadly traps along the way. "Yang Qinfang

"I didn't encounter any traps, and it seems that the rebels thought they were secretive and didn't need to be fortified." Yin Mingyue also told her own experience, and said to Yang Qinfang: "Inform the two generals that you can act." Zheng Liwan took a fire Rakshasa guard to guide the soldiers and horses and lead the way for General Niu. Others, infiltrating various key places, stopped the rebels from absconding. ”

"Whoa."

Zheng Liwan quickly sank into the mountains and forests with ten people, and went to lead the way for Niu Jinda, while the others hid into the mountains and forests.

The earth began to calm again
