There is no doubt that He Batian chose to follow Li Shishi's order and led a detachment of more than 1,000 people to take the path and kill from the rear.

It's just that what surprised He Batian was that Li Shishi directly handed over the right to lead the troops to him.

You must know that before this, he was just a general, and the most commanders were only a few dozen people. It's really uncomfortable to let him lead so many people at once.

He Batian is very smart, and of course he knows what it means.

Obviously, General Li was optimistic about him and wanted to take this opportunity to inspect and train him.

If He Batian can seize the opportunity, he is likely to soar to the sky.

But if he can't take the opportunity, there is no way.

What soldier in this world doesn't want to be a general?

A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

He Batian is naturally no exception.

He has waited so long and finally waited for this opportunity, so naturally he will not miss it.

In terms of numbers, a thousand people is not a lot, and they will have to win by surprise if they want to play their due role.

It's just that it is still very difficult for a thousand people to walk the mountain road that He Batian explored.

This mountain trail is used by woodcutters and hunters to walk during the day, and at its narrowest point it is almost a man wide.

This meant that the Ming army had to line up in a long snake formation, passing one by one.

There's no way around it. A thousand people is already the minimum requirement. If only a few hundred people were sent, even if they could suddenly kill behind the Qing army and catch them off guard, they would probably be defeated because of the disadvantage of their troops.

A thousand people are in a delicate balance, neither too little nor too much.

"Everyone keep up, don't fall behind."

Now he has not come to the vicinity of the Qing army camp, so he can still speak.

When you get close to the camp, you really have to be silent.

"Mr. He, there seems to be movement ahead!"

One of the scouts reacted immediately.

The most important thing to be a scout is the ability to react.

Watching and listening is not for fun.

"Huh?"

He Batian also seemed to hear some movement, he listened carefully, and it seemed to be a human voice.

How could there be a voice suddenly in this deep mountain?

Could it be a woodcutter chopping wood or a hunter hunting?

"Everyone should be vigilant and act when the opportunity comes."

He Batian made a gesture, motioning for everyone to move closer to the location where the movement occurred.

As soon as they came up, they discovered the situation, only to see a few Qing soldiers with money rat tails cursing something around a woodcutter.

scolded and scolded those Qing soldiers and pulled out their knives directly.

"Dog thing, lie to Lao Tzu and say no money? Are you really stupid to think of our brothers? Let's run so hard, we can't let us run in vain, right? ”

"A few military masters, you have also seen that the villain is a family with four walls. There really isn't any silver in the villain's house. ”

The woodcutter fell to his knees and kowtowed desperately, and soon his head broke.

"Hmph, don't pretend to be pitiful here, you are delusional if you want to coax Lao Tzu. The silver must have been hidden by you somewhere. I advise you to hand over the silver obediently, otherwise you will blame Lao Tzu's knife for not being merciful! ”

"Master Jun, why don't you believe it, I really don't have any money. Do you look like I'm dressed like a rich man? ”

The woodcutter wanted to weep without tears. These Qing soldiers don't know whether they are really blind or falsely blind, if he is a hunter, he may still rely on the animal skins he brought to exchange for some silver, but the woodcutter is really a poor jingle ring, how can he have extra money.

"You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!"

One of the soldiers snorted coldly and slashed at the woodcutter's neck.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and He Batian shot an arrow with a whizz.

The arrow broke through the air and shot straight into the neck of the Qing soldier, and the powerful force made the arrow directly penetrate out!

"Shhh

The other Qing soldiers all gasped and subconsciously fell down.

They are all veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and they know how to save their lives to the greatest extent.

Lying on the ground when you don't know where the enemy is lying in ambush is a good solution.

Otherwise, random arrows can easily shoot people into hedgehogs.

But it also gave the Ming army a chance.

They took advantage of the fear of the Qing soldiers and rushed forward.

The distance between the two sides is only a few dozen steps, and the rapid sprint is also within reach.

He Batian rushed forward first, and soon came to the front of those Qing soldiers.

Without hesitation, he snapped a clear soldier's nose with a left hook, followed by a right whip leg that swept him to the ground.

"You sneak attack, you don't talk about martial arts!"

Qing Bing clutched the bridge of his broken nose, blood pouring from his fingers. He cursed as he screamed.

"Martial arts are a fart, you also deserve to talk about martial arts? Why don't you talk about martial virtues when you kill the people? ”

At the same time, He Batian's subordinates had already subdued the rest of the Qing soldiers, and the sound of broken bones for a while made people's hearts palpitate.

In order to prevent the Qing soldiers from resisting or committing suicide, they immediately removed the arms of the Qing soldiers!

"Aren't you different, just 50 steps and 100 steps."

The Qing soldier was still stiff-mouthed, and He Batian sneered and said, "I really played the piano to the cow." ”

With that, he drew a dagger and put it against the soldier's neck.

"You bullies like you who are afraid of the hard have to use this thing to teach you a lesson."

"Ahh If you have something to say, you have something to say. ”

The Qing soldier was stunned for a while, and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Hmph, what a dog."

"Say, what's the situation with you now?"

Since he bumped into these Qing soldiers, He Batian naturally wanted to listen to some useful information from their mouths.

"If the villain said it, maybe he spared me?"

"Less nonsense, you don't have the right to bargain with Lao Tzu now."

He Batian pressed the dagger down again, and then asked: "I ask a question, you say a word, don't talk nonsense." ”

Qing Bing nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." ”

"How many troops do you have?"

"10,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliaries."

"The auxiliaries are all coolies captured from the local area."

"Yes..."

He Batian secretly said in his heart that it was not as he expected, it seemed that he had made the right bet.

The combat effectiveness of 10,000 soldiers is quite limited, let alone a surprise attack, even if you attack them from the front, your 1,000 elite soldiers may not have no chance.

"Let me ask you, how much grain and grass did you bring with you?"

"This... The villain really doesn't know. Ahhh Don't push yourself anymore. I said, I said... There must be food for half a month. ”

He Batian was taken aback.

So much grain? It seems that the Qing army is ready for a protracted war this time, so that even if the Ming army does not kill them for a while and a half, they can afford to wait.

"How many troops do you have in charge of guarding the food?"

"A few hundred, not too many."

He Batian sneered and said, "Then you can die." ”
