"Don't worry, two big brothers, listen to me first" Seeing the two eldest brothers looking at him puzzled, Qin Yu explained.

"Don't the two eldest brothers think it's strange? Our team of grain is not small, there are 2,000 people! But just when we were about to arrive in Lingwu County, we were suddenly attacked by thousands of Hu Qi! You must know that we are in Lingwu now, not a few days ago when we patrolled the border with the marshal. How did these Hu Qi get here through the border pass? Think about it, two big brothers! According to my little brother, since thousands of Hu cavalry can appear here with a swagger, they can even attack the grain team without any scruples! If you think about it, I am afraid that it will not be safe to come to this Lingwu County, and if you think about it badly, maybe this Lingwu has been broken by the Hu army! Again. Maybe there is no safe place in the entire Lingzhou territory now! But Dingyuan City is different, there are so many troops stationed, so we must go back to Dingyuan! ”

Qin Yu's words woke up the two, "If it is really according to what Xiaoji said, then we will really have to return to Dingyuan!" After all, this Dingyuan is a state city, Gaocheng Shenchi plus our border army also stationed a lot of soldiers and horses here, and most of the state guards in Lingzhou are also stationed near the state city! If Hu Bing really breaks through the border pass, then Dingyuan will be the safest place in Lingzhou! Brother Ding said in a deep voice.

The three of them summed up for a while, and Brother Ding came forward, gathered these defeated soldiers, left the official road, and traveled along the mountain and forest trails to Dingyuan. After two days of galloping, Qin Yu and his gang barely had a long rest on the way. At dawn on the third day, Qin Yu and his party arrived not far from Dingyuan! Fortunately, in the past two days, they have hurried through the mountain trails, but they have not encountered any Hu soldiers. I saw that I was not far away.

So after a little calculation with Brother Ding, Qin Yu and the others took a break in a dense wood. Two fire guards were arranged to rotate around as a guard, so that everyone could hurry up and look for food. Rest to replenish your strength.

Because of Qin Yu, when they broke and fled. The crowd didn't bring out any food at all, if it weren't for the fact that Brother Xu found a lot of wild things and wild fruits in the mountains. Everyone can't support it anymore for a long time. Moreover, the almost non-stop rush in the past two days made everyone even more tired, and many people fell asleep on the trees as soon as they heard that they could rest and did not care about looking for food.

After resting for more than an hour, everyone regrouped and prepared to march towards Dingyuan. Because the sky was already bright and the enemy could be encountered at any time, Brother Ding continued to lead everyone on the path between the mountains and forests.

I have to say that Qin Yu's two eldest brothers really played a huge role, and Brother Ding really knew the terrain of this Lingzhou. Not only did he take everyone to avoid the rangers of many Hu soldiers, but he even accurately found a clear spring in the mountains and forests and took everyone to replenish their drinking water. And although Brother Xu has a brute spirit. But the ability to find food in the mountains is not small. In addition, Qin Yu's words and encouragement were quite skillful, so their group of routs could rush at such a speed.

After walking in the mountains and forests for about half an hour, a village appeared next to the road under the mountains and forests in front of me. There seems to be smoke billowing out! Although everyone has been accustomed to seeing villages attacked by Hu Qi in the past two days! But there was a bad premonition in everyone's hearts. Brother Ding ordered to lurk and observe first.

The billowing smoke dissipated somewhat, but the skyrocketing flames rose. At the same time, five Hu cavalry rode war horses and rushed out of the village, all the way to Shanghai with a scimitar "whining", and there was a bloody human head hanging under the horse's neck!

"Sihu mongrel!" Almost at the same time, everyone's blood was flushing and their eyes were red! However, no one rushed out, and in the past few days they have been attacked in the village. They were all quietly detouring, because they were just a group of routs with more than 100 people. A rash attack will not only fail to save the village, but will also put all of your own side into it.

Qin Yu pressed down to the side, his teeth clenched, and his eyes seemed to be about to spew fire, like a beast about to come out of the cage, Brother Xu! Although Brother Ding was surprisingly calm, his cold eyes seemed to show no emotional fluctuations. But Qin Yu knew that Brother Ding was now like a volcano under an ice field. But Brother Ding's overall view is not weak. So he was able to control his anger!

Qin Yu admired him very much, such a person was indeed a qualified battlefield commander. In such a place where it is possible to encounter the Hu army everywhere, every judgment and order of the battlefield commander is related to victory or defeat, life and death. So he didn't talk much in the past two days, and when he encountered the enemy, he was mainly Brother Ding, and he was only responsible for pacifying the soldiers.

At this moment, Qin Yu and the others were still calmly observing. The five horsemen ran along the mountain road towards a hidden place far away from Qin Yu and the others. A human head hung under the horse's neck, spilling a trail of blood.

"Ding Run, you just let this group of Xihu mongrels go?!" Brother Xu let out a low roar. even called Brother Ding's name

"If you quarrel with me again, I'll cut you!" Brother Ding picked up a lump of mud next to him with his backhand, and smashed it on Brother Xu's head. Brother Xu gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't make any more noise.

Qin Yu squatted down and walked to Brother Ding's side, and whispered, "Brother Ding, can we go around this village?" ”

"I'm afraid not, this village is less than thirty miles away from Dingyuan! But the location is special, and the mountains and forests on the left and right are cliffs further on! Brother Ding replied, but he roared. It's all for me! ”

Because there was a louder "woo" sound on the mountain road ahead. The five cavalry Xihu soldiers who had just gone and returned had returned. Mountains and forests are slightly shaken! Behind them, a large cavalry followed!

I saw that Brother Ding stretched out his finger and compared it in front of him, and quickly counted the number of this group of Xihu cavalry. "Fifty-nine!" Guo Sandao glanced back at Qin Yu and said lightly.

"Let's do it, there are a lot of us!" Brother Xu on the side plucked up his courage and muttered quietly.

Brother Ding grabbed a large piece of soil and threw it directly! , Brother Ding shrank in fright. Everyone lurked quietly and watched this group of Xihu cavalry run past and rush into the village.

"Come here." Brother Ding waved his hand, and except for the fire man who was under martial law on the side, everyone else gathered around him, fan-shaped.

Brother Ding said: "The establishment of the Xihu soldiers is similar to that of our Xia army, and this pair of Xihu soldiers should be half a team of people, plus the Hu cavalry who leads the team is about one hundred and ten or more." They were more than happy to go out with ten rangers to reconnoitre, and then call the brigade after making sure that there was no enemy. However, there is only half a team of people here, so where is the other half of the team, whether it is nearby, it is not clear, the villagers in the village should be more auspicious, and the living may be held hostage by their people. So we can't act rashly! ”

Brother Xu suddenly realized, "Ding Run, you can do it, it turns out that the five porridges just now went back to call the accomplices, and there must have been accomplices who had already stepped on the village to calm the villagers!" ”

Ding Run didn't pay attention to Xu Wei, but said to Qin Yu on the side: "This Xihu people are accustomed to every three people as a horn, five people as a battle circle, ten people dare to wander around and kill the enemy when they are fired, and if they gather a team of fifty people, they dare to raid the guards ten times their size!" Whenever Xihu attacked a place, he would inevitably send an outpost to pick his eyes, and if he could succeed, he would set fire to smoke and send scouts to carry his head in return, both of which were indispensable, otherwise the brigade would not advance to avoid falling into the trap. Since there is a group of Xihu soldiers in this village, it is very likely that there will be the main force of their brigade not far away, which is scattered everywhere to burn, kill and loot, and all of them will be evacuated together at the specified time! If you rush to attack, you will definitely startle the snake! Not only can't we save these villagers, but we're all going to die here! ”

At this time, Brother Xu was dumbfounded, "That's -----"

Brother Ding slapped Brother Xu directly on his helmet, "After so many years in the army, I have some understanding of the terrain and terroir of Lingzhou and the tactics and habits of the Xihu people. ”

Qin Yu listened quietly, these were all valuable knowledge that he had not mastered!

"Wasted some time talking nonsense!" Brother Ding glanced at Qin Yu silently, and said in a deep voice: "Since we can't go around, do we wait for the Xihu cavalry to retreat or fight directly, what do you think?" ”

"Hit it!" At this time, Qin Yu suddenly spoke. He knew that Brother Ding wanted to kill this group of Hu soldiers! He will naturally support this big brother who has already helped him a lot! The rest of the soldiers saw that the only two military attachés in the team had already spoken, and they had also accumulated a lot of anger in the past two days! No one said anything, just quietly waited for the order

"Okay, now listen to my orders, take one fire person as the scout, and trace up the mountain road from the Xihu people to see if there is the main force of the brigade behind it. Find out the enemy's situation and report it immediately!; Defend the outskirts of the village with two fire men to prevent those Hu people from escaping! For the rest of the people, I will lead a team, and Xu Wei will lead a team to outflank the village in the north and south directions, and carefully investigate the reality of the enemy army entering the village! Once we find out where the enemy is gathered, we will gather our troops in one place, flank them in front and back, and kill them all! ”

"Yes!" With an order, these 100 or so soldiers immediately took action!, preparing to lurk towards the village. Everyone's movements were very fast, and before leaving, Brother Ding stared at Qin Yu with a pair of eyes for a long time, and beckoned, "Xiaoji, come here." ”

Qin Yu came to his side. "Big brother, thank you, it's me who is acting rashly and dragging everyone down!" Brother Ding said. He is not a fool, there is no need to fight this battle, because the Xihu people will naturally retreat after a while, and after these Xihu people leave by themselves, they can pass through the village in front of them unharmed, but because of their own decisions, maybe they may all die in this small village,

And as another military attache in the team, he knew that if Qin Yu insisted on opposing it, he would have no choice at all! But Qin Yu unexpectedly supported him.

Qin Yu hurriedly shook his head, "Brother Ding, you're outside!" Isn't it right to be brothers and support each other! ”

"You kid------" Brother Ding stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Yu several times and said, "Big Brother knows, your fighting skills are not very good, and you will follow the two fire soldiers on the periphery later, and the periphery will be safer!" If Xu Wei and I can't get out, you can take the rest of the people and take the opportunity to cross the village and go away! ”

"Nope! I'm going to follow you into the village with you, big brother! Qin Yu shook his head and firmly refused, seeing Qin Yu's resolute attitude, Brother Ding didn't say anything, just pressed Qin Yu's shoulder twice, and didn't say more, "Be smart, go ahead!" When you return to Dingyuan, the eldest brother invites you to have a drink! ”

"Good!" Qin Yu knew in his heart that in the past, the two eldest brothers may have regarded him as brothers because of his life-saving grace, but now after this battle, the three of them can be regarded as true brothers.

Soon, Qin Yu followed a team of ten people, shuttled through the woods with his waist bent, and advanced towards the village. At this time, the scout team that went out to investigate, Qin Yu also took the initiative to ask to follow them, and soon under the leadership of the leader of the fire, they quietly entered the village.

Qin Yu had no experience in war at all in his previous life, and this time he really couldn't do it. But he knows that in this troubled world. He had to go through these things. Therefore, he did not show a panicked look, but silently followed the soldiers with the fire, and several veterans who walked with him were surprised, this military attache who suddenly joined in, and seemed to have a lot of civility, actually seemed much calmer than us, which is unreasonable!

On the periphery, Brother Ding also divided into three teams of more than 100 people and touched the vicinity of the village, all of them were like predatory lynxes lurking in the mountains and forests, silently moving lightly, fan-shaped and scattered to observe the situation in the village from different angles.

As the veteran crawled to the edge of the village, a private house in front of him was already close at hand. Behind the house, a tall and dense locust tree was the best cover, and it was able to occupy the highest point to observe almost the entire village.

The rest of the people also quietly approached the house, and the closer they got to the house, the more clearly Qin Yu could hear the woman's cry and the man's rude and shameless laughter coming from the room. This voice, anyone who has watched a little bit of island country love action movies can understand what those shameless Xihu people are doing to a woman.

The leading fire chief resisted the urge to kill in his heart, stopped everyone, and climbed to the height of the big locust tree in three or two, hiding in the thickest branches of the leaves, and observing condescendingly through the pores of the leaves.

The village is not large, with only about thirty or forty families in the whole village. The edge of the village is cut and reclaimed next to the forest, and houses are built next to the forest. These houses are in the shape of a ring, enclosing the village in a large circle, and in the middle is a large open space enclosed by the village, which is supposed to be a large flat that is usually used for sacrifices, gatherings, or drying grain. The road also went straight through the clearing.

At this time, a large amount of firewood and grass was piled up on the soil of this village and was smoking, which should be the "beacon fire" placed by the outpost of the Xihu people before. A large number of villagers gathered on the open earthen lawn, and a group of Xihu soldiers wearing gray linen robes and curled sheepskin hats stood around, holding bright scimitars in their hands, occasionally throwing out the horsewhips in their hands and whipping at the villagers who were huddled together.

Next to these shivering villagers. Seven or eight people had already fallen in pools of blood, and their heads had been cut off. The remaining villagers were so frightened that they were huddled together, and a few children were still crying.

The fire chief counted the heads, and there were forty-two Xihu soldiers and more than a hundred and ten people on the big earthen lawn. The remaining scattered Xihu soldiers should have grabbed the women of the village and went into the houses to wreak havoc, or to search for the scattered people and their property.

At this time, the screams of the women in the houses under the big locust tree suddenly stopped, and several Xihu men scolded in Xihu language.

Qin Yu's heart suddenly tightened, and his qi and blood surged...... That village woman must have been killed!

The Xihu man in the house kicked open the door, his ears were full of blood, and he swaggered out with a bloody human head, and walked towards the open space with the human head. When he walked to the clearing, he threw it into the crowd.

The villagers were so frightened that they screamed in panic, some of them cried loudly, and two children shouted "mother" and cried loudly.

"Brute !!" The fire chief gritted his teeth and whispered hate.

In the crowd of villagers, a white-haired old man in his sixties and seventies stood up, "I'll fight with you!" ”

But the whip of the Xihu soldier was drawn up, and the two Xihu soldiers stepped forward and dragged the old man out of the crowd, and stabbed him to the ground with a few swords, and then seven or eight people stepped forward and slashed the old man into a pile of meat puree.

The fire chief turned his head, his knuckles grasping the hilt of the horizontal knife, and his bones sounded, "Who dares to resist, take this as an example!" "This voice Qin Yu can also be heard by them

The Xihu soldier, who had just come out with the woman's head, raised the scimitar in his hand and roared loudly. The villagers looked at the pile of headless corpses, the woman's head, and the pile of meat on the large earthen lawn, and they didn't dare to squeak and resist. A group of unarmed villagers, facing a group of demons who have lost their humanity with swords in their hands, are powerless to resist.

"Listen!" The leader of the Hu soldiers said loudly, "From now on, all the men among you are my slaves!" The women among you are my slaves! You belong to me like cattle and horses, and you are not allowed to resist or run away! Otherwise, chop into mashed meat! ”

At this time, the remaining dozen or so Xihu soldiers, either carrying piles of belongings or leading cattle and sheep, or a few villagers who had escaped, gathered over. Seeing this, the leader of the Hu soldiers laughed, raised his scimitar and said a string of Xihu words, and these Xihu soldiers raised their knives and guns and let out a burst of "woo" cheers.

At this time, the Turkic leader walked up to the crowd of villagers and grabbed a village woman from the middle. The villagers were terrified, the village women struggled desperately and begged for mercy, and the leader laughed. A young man jumped up to resist, but was immediately stabbed to the ground by the Hu soldiers on the side, dragged to the side, cut off the head, hung on the horse's neck, and his body was chopped into flesh.

The leader of the Hu soldiers let the two Xihu soldiers take the woman and walked back to the house, but in a different room. The fire chief and the old soldier who had been lurking in the trees almost couldn't help jumping off, so they rushed into the house and chopped up the beast!

There was a soft knock from under the tree, it was a code, and the fire chief and the old soldier slipped down the tree.

The fire chief gestured to the crowd against the courtyard wall. He came to Qin Yu's ear and said his observation and speculation, it was Hu Bing in this private house, I am afraid that he is the leader of Hu Bing, by the way, please ask for instructions, do you want to do it! Capture the thief directly and capture the king first!!

Qin Yu pondered for a while, but the anger in his chest also made him angry for a while, so he nodded and ordered one person to go back to report the news. As the fire chief took the others to his waist, he walked along the courtyard wall towards the back door of the courtyard

The veteran still climbed the tree and stared at the village. Used as a warning and to observe the movements of the Hu soldiers, after a few moments, the Turks drove several villagers into the houses, and then the smoke of the cooking rose. Firewood also rose on the large earthen lawn, and they slaughtered a few sheep with their hands.

It seems that Xihu Bing is not in a hurry to leave, and still wants to cook a meal here.

"Eat! I've eaten my fill, and I've finished this severed meal! Grandpa, I'll send you to Hades! The old soldier's teeth rattled. Turning around and signaling to Qin Yu and them, the enemy did not move to make a move, Qin Yu and they immediately moved and touched the door of the backyard.

And outside the village. The soldiers who were in charge of investigating the enemy in the distance had also returned after going out to investigate, saying that the enemy situation had made it clear that there was no Turkic majority nearby, and the soldiers sent back by Qin Yu also explained that the Hu soldiers were now gathered in the open space in the center of the village and a few nearby houses, Ding Run had immediately ordered that except for the soldiers on guard on the periphery, the rest of the people immediately gathered in the center of the village to prepare to hunt down this group of Xihu soldiers------ and at the same time ordered all the fire soldiers to act quickly so as not to accidentally injure the people, and eliminate the evil, and no one was allowed to escape!

And in this private house of Qinyu. "The Hu soldier in this private house, hand it over to me!" Qin Yu suddenly said to the fire chief.

"Team D is probably already arranged, just waiting for the brothers outside to make a move, success or failure is crucial. As soon as there is an attack, those Xihu people will definitely gather here, and it must be here! The fire chief hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "This Hu soldier is not weak----- are you sure, my lord?" Don't be fooled! ”

"I can do it!" Qin Yu's words were categorical.

"Okay, the brothers will solve these Xihu crumbs outside for the adults, and after the adults enter the house and get their hands on it, they will withdraw immediately!" The fire chief patted Qin Yu on the shoulder, and then took the other brothers to hold the knife and cat on the waist, and quietly opened the backyard door. Sneaked in

Although he felt that Qin Yu was unreliable, the fire chief still gave Qin Yu full trust. Qin Yu suppressed the blood that was about to boil, and followed quietly into the house.

Holding it tightly in his hand, Qin Yu felt a burst of indignation in his heart! All of these brutes must die!! Let's start with this Hu soldier leader!
