Ye Fu didn't care about this, he only continued: "The enemy is strong and I am weak, in a short period of time, there is no benefit for us to fight hard." What we can use is a smart brain, relying on the art of war, the thirty-six strategies, various formations, and weapons passed down to us by our ancestors, to defeat the Tartar soldiers who far surpass us in terms of physical strength and cavalry archery. Therefore, how to hide ourselves, let ourselves win the maximum result with the least loss, this is what we must learn! Besides, the shortage of soldiers is also our hard wound! ”

Wang Zhi nodded at this time, agreeing with Ye Fu's opinion.

Ye Fu struck while the iron was hot, pushed the map under his hand and said to him: "Since there is no problem, let's hurry up and make it." Xiong Jing is looking for a city by side, and it will be here soon, and when the time comes, we will at least get a set for each of the students in the martial arts academy to wear first! ”

In the early spring of March, there was no sign of warming on the land of Liaodong. Frozen for thousands of miles, it is a real spring cold. The snow was blown by the cold wind, and from time to time it fell on passers-by.

At this time, on a narrow mountain road in eastern Liaodong near the Kuandian defensive line, a group of cavalry was marching rapidly.

"After a while, less than half an hour ago, it is the Sanyang Military Fort, which belongs to the Kuandian Defense Line and is under the jurisdiction of the Sanyang Garrison, which is a very large military fort. Once there, we can rest! ”

The people who are called Jinglu are dressed as military generals, dressed in light armor, and sit on horseback. Wen Yanle stopped his horse, reached out and wiped the ice crystals that had been blown on his face and covered his eyebrows and beard, and rubbed his hands. Looking around, there is no half of the crowd. He looked up at the sky and sighed, "I wish I could get there soon!" This weather, I can't stand it! I don't know, what happened to the soldiers of the Kuanju defensive line? I heard that they had a miserable life, and on a cold day, there was not a single cotton coat. It is really a dereliction of duty for us to make the soldiers suffer so much! ”

"How can an adult say such a thing?" The attendant smiled, "You love soldiers like children, this is a well-known thing." What's more, it's already spring, and the weather is about to warm up. Come to think of it, the hard days of the soldiers are coming. ”

Xiong Tingbi urged the horse forward, his brows furrowed tightly, he shook his head lightly and said: "You, in the end, you are still inexperienced, and you really don't see the battle situation thoroughly enough!" Do you think that when the weather gets warmer, the brothers will have a better time? It's whimsical! The weather is warmer, making it more suitable for Tartar raids. Kuandian is located at the junction with Houjin, and it is the first place to bear the brunt. It's really hard to live here! ”

Xiong Tingbi took the lead and walked in the forefront.

Behind him were the cavalry protecting him, just over twenty people.

Just chatting and walking, before he knew it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Before he could react to what was wrong, he only felt that his horse's head was suddenly crooked, and the whole horse quickly fell downward. In a hurry, he really didn't have time to react. Even with men and horses, a fierce man plunged into the snow.

When he finally got up from the snow pit, he found that the twenty or so cavalrymen who accompanied him had the same fate as him. I was a little lucky, but I didn't get hurt. If you are unlucky, you will inevitably sprain your foot and sit on the ground humming.

It happened so suddenly, Xiong Tingbi didn't expect it at all.

Holding down the waist knife and looking up vigilantly, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

The snow pit is not small, and the depth should be two people high.

More than 20 people, together with their war horses, fell inside, and they were able to occupy a small piece of space. It is enough to see that the width of its bottom should not be underestimated.

Above the snow pit, a team of white-clothed soldiers held crossbows with divine arms, and the arrows that flashed with cold light were like the scythes of death, nailing everyone below.

Tartar?

Xiong Tingbi was so shocked in his heart.

But then, my heart was a little relieved.

Although the attire of these people is slightly different from that of the Ming army, on the whole, it can be seen that they are their own people. If it weren't for deserters and rebels, it is estimated that the problem would not be too big.

In this way, Xiong Tingbi stabilized his mind and shouted to it: "Who are you!" ”

"Who are we?" The leader did not take off the bow and crossbow on his back, but pressed the horizontal knife at his waist and stepped forward half a step. Glancing downward, he sneered, "I still want to know, who are you!" This is the wide defense line under the command of Lord Ye Fuye of the Yang garrison, and it is only half an hour's road away from the fort city. This ghost weather, there is no one in sight on weekdays, and your presence here is already suspicious enough! What's more, you're still riding horses and straddling knives. Honestly, where are the deserters? ”

"Bastard!" Before Xiong Tingbi could say anything, the entourage had already roared violently, jumped up, and scolded angrily: "Do you know what you have done? This is the right squire of the military department and the right servant of the imperial history, Liaodong Jingluo, Xiong Tingbi Xiong! You've got a big hit! You **, why don't you get off the horse and tie it up quickly, and apologize to Lord Xiong? Otherwise, you will be burdened by the guards of your house later, so that you will not be able to eat and walk around! ”

When Xiong Tingbi heard this, although he frowned slightly, he didn't say anything.

On the contrary, the leader above was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You are well-informed!" My family also said that Xiong Dashuai is coming to patrol the border recently. Let us strengthen our defenses, and there shall be no mistake. lest those undead Tartars or bandits disturb Xiong Dashuai's good mood. Unexpectedly, even you know about it? Dare to pretend? I think you've lived enough! I advise you, or do you explain it honestly early? Otherwise, when the time comes, I will send you to the Hades Palace, and you will not have this opportunity. ”

"You ......" The entourage wanted to say more, but was stopped by Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi raised his head and asked the leader: "Are you a subordinate of Ye Fu of the Yang garrison?" How do you dress like this? ”

When the leader heard this, he looked very proud, tilted his head, and boasted, "You don't know yet, do you?" We're very nice to everyone! Didn't you destroy a group of Tartar soldiers a while ago? also raided the mansion of the criminal general Xu Pingong. All the money we get is used to make winter clothes for us. The adults said that when you are full and warmly dressed, you will have the strength to fight! If you have the strength in your body, you will naturally have confidence in your heart! This winter coat is still made by adults themselves, saying that it is a white cloth that is cheap and can save some money. Second, this Liaodong is full of snow, and white is the easiest to hide! ”

Speaking of which, the leader was even more proud.

"How? Just now, the brothers were lying in ambush around you, so close to you, you couldn't see them, could you? It's called concealment! Hide it and win! Just like now! We're on top, what about you? Hmph, prisoner! The leader shook his head and said to them before he said to them: "Look at you like this, it seems that you are also our Ming soldiers, right?" Why can't you think about it so much, and want to be a bandit? Hungry and full. Why don't you vote for us! Adults are kind-hearted, as long as they are willing to kill Tartars together, they are their own people! In the future, if you have one of us, you will be indispensable! What do you think? Thinking about it? ”

Xiong Tingbi thought to himself, it was really rare to meet these people. Otherwise, there are some things that he still has to ponder carefully before he can figure it out. Where is it like now? He hadn't asked anything! People poured beans on the bamboo tube, and everything that should be said was said.

Sanyang Military Fort, Sanyang Garrison Yamen Backyard, in the study.

Knowing that Xu Gaozhuo, who was arranged by Ye Fu, was like a thunderbolt from the sky, he stood there stunned, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.

Ye Fu looked at him with a smile, "What?" The meaning of this emoji is ...... Marvel? I know, I'm not bad, but I don't have to be so amazed, right? ”

Xu Gaozhuo took a deep breath, and finally relieved himself. Facing Ye Fu, he shook his head for a while.

"Your Excellency!" Xu Gaozhuo almost cried out, "If I knew that you were so bold, it would be better to be slashed by you that day, and it would be more painful!" ”

"What's that called?" Ye Fu said with a smile, "A great future is just around the corner, but you want to die with me now, what kind of reason is this!" ”
