The Shatuo army is divided into three classes, the third class is called the White Tent Cavalry, wearing a white cloak, belonging to ordinary soldiers, the largest number in the Shatuo Army, the second class is called the Black Tent Archer Cavalry, their number is only one-tenth of the White Tent soldiers, they are good at riding and shooting, they belong to the elite army of Shatuo, generally serve as spies and other important positions, and are black cloaks.

There is also a kind of fire tent iron cavalry, they are the elite of the elite, only five hundred people, not only riding and archery is powerful, martial arts are also very strong, they are the Khan's guards, generally do not participate in the war, characterized by living in a red tent, wearing chain mail, wearing a fiery red cloak.

Guo Song met this black-clothed cavalry was one of the sentry teams sent by the Hexi Governor of the Shatuo Army, they belonged to the Shatuo Black Tent Archer Cavalry, and of course they were the elite of the Shatuo Army.

The leader's name was Brother Mo, a centurion, and he had a long scar on his forehead, which was a memento left by the fierce son three years ago.

The centurion took a sip of milk wine and muttered for a moment, "That eagle is a little weird! ”

"Chief, you're too sensitive to eagles! Now that it's freezing and the birds are extinct, and the goshawk has nowhere to feed, when it sees us, it must have wanted to find some scraps, and then it didn't fly away? ”

"That being said, we still have to be careful that everyone takes turns on duty at night and is not allowed to sleep all."

Everyone muttered a few complaints, and one of them asked, "Chief, how can the Governor be interested in the White Pavilion Guard?" A few hundred people at most, and it's not enough to fill in the gaps. ”

"You know a fart, it's not for a little person like you to ask, shut up!"

"I don't deserve to ask, but the road is about to be closed by heavy snow, and if we don't rush back, we'll be trapped here, and if we don't get a few sheepskins today, we'll have to freeze and get sick tonight."

The soldier's complaint resonated with everyone, and several people asked: "Chief, the sixth son has a point, the road is about to be closed by heavy snow, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable to send us out at this time." ”

Seeing that everyone was dissatisfied, the centurion had to sigh and say: "It is precisely because of the heavy snow that the road is closed, the Tang army did not expect that we would come, and the governor led the army to raid Baiting to defend and capture, and none of the Tang army could escape." ”

"Ahh Will the Governor come with his army? Everyone was taken aback and asked.

The centurion nodded, "The Governor has followed us out, and now it is not far from us." ”

Guo Song quietly put away his sword, he changed his mind, temporarily spared these turtle grandsons, he couldn't startle the snake, he had to go and inform Zhao Tengjiao immediately.

.........

Located on the south bank of the Baiting Sea, Baiting Shouju is a very small military city, Shouju is an important military institution in the Tang Dynasty to guard the frontier, its level is a little lower than the army, the garrison is less, ranging from 300 to 1,000 people.

The standard of the garrison captured by Baiting was 500 people, and it was only because of the arrival of the cold winter and the inconvenience of supplies that the garrison soldiers were reduced, and it was 200 in winter.

The circumference of the military city is only five miles at most, the city wall is one foot eight feet high, equivalent to two stories high, and it is quite strong, and there are military camps, warehouses, wards, and a pacification center in the city.

At the third watch of the night, Guo Song rushed to the city, and he shouted to the city: "Is there a night watchman?" ”

He shouted a few times, and a lazy voice came from above, "Who is down there, what are the ghosts shouting?" ”

"I'm Guo Song from the Black Mountain Department, and I want to see Zhao Shouchuang."

"Yo! It's Guo Xianchang, the villain is rude, wait a while, and the villain will immediately report it. ”

Guo Song's name is known to everyone in Baiting Shouyu City, and they all know that the Black Mountain tribe hides a master from outside the world.

The military city does not open the city gate at night, this is the rule, the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to open the door, and hurriedly ran to report to Zhao Tengjiao, and after a while, Zhao Tengjiao came out wearing a regular uniform.

"Brother, have you figured it out? I'm here to join my brother! ”

Guo Song said angrily: "If it weren't for the Shatuo army to attack you immediately, I would have made this trip?" ”

"Impossible, this season, unless they're crazy!"

"It's because you don't believe it that they come."

Zhao Tengjiao thought that this was indeed the truth, and he hurriedly said: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

The gate of the military city opened, and Guo Song urged the horse to rush in.

Not long after, the lights in the guard's room were turned on, and the deputy guard, Zhang Sen, was also woken up and hurried over.

Guo Song told him about the ransacking of his tent today, and he told him about the conversation of the Shatuo spy at night.

Zhao Tengjiao's face became very solemn, he held an oil lamp to check carefully on the map, and said for a while: "If it is really Zhu Xie Weiming who personally led the army over, then his target must still be Zhangye City." ”

Zhang Sen is also an experienced veteran grassroots general, he pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be a siege of the city to send reinforcements?" ”

Zhao Tengjiao slapped his thigh, "You're so right, I said that Zhu Xie Weiming couldn't fall in love with Bai Ting guarding this place where birds don't?" If he had only led a few hundred men to kill, Li Dudu would have led an army to surround him and capture him alive.

As long as Li Dudu's retreat is cut off, the Tang army can only retreat to Liangzhou, and Zhangye City will surrender without a fight. ”

Guo Song secretly admired these low-level Tang generals, who had rich combat experience and were not incompetent, and they immediately guessed the strategy of the main general of the Shatuo army.

"Brother Zhao, who is this Zhu Xie Weiming, and it will be so important?"

"Huh! This Zhu Xie Weiming is the half-brother of Shatuo Khan Zhu Xie Jinding, the official worship of the governor of Hexi, four years ago he led the army to defeat the Tugu Hun army in the Great Dou Tu Valley, it is said that he will succeed to the Shatuo Khan in the future, do you say he is important? ”

"So he used himself as a huge decoy."

"Yes! If he can be caught, he will be promoted to at least three levels and rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and few people can resist this temptation. ”

Zhao Tengjiao immediately said to Zhang Sen: "Send someone to inform Li Dudu immediately, this is a trap, don't step in!" ”

"What are we going to do without reinforcements?" Zhang Sen asked worriedly.

Zhao Tengjiao lowered his head and thought for a while, "If the opponent's army does not exceed 1,000 people, we will carry it, if it is more than 1,000 people, then we will immediately retreat to Liangzhou, and I will bear all the consequences." ”

Guo Song stood silently and watched them send troops to get busy, and after they were done, Zhao Tengjiao suddenly remembered Guo Song next to him, and he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry!" I'm sorry! When you get busy, you forget about my brother, thank you for sending the letter, I will give you a big reward. ”

He hurriedly asked for fifty taels of silver, Guo Song accepted it unceremoniously, he lived in Yinggu's house for three years, and ate half of their sheep, and this silver was just enough to compensate them.

"Brother Zhao, I still want to ask, is that Shatuo spy still useful?"

Zhao Tengjiao was stunned, "What do you want to do?" ”

Guo Song said coldly: "I have a vendetta with them, and I want to settle an account with them." ”

"I advise you not to be impulsive, there are more than a dozen of them, and you are only one, and you will suffer a big loss."

"Big brother, just tell me, are they still useful?"

Zhao Tengjiao thought for a while and said, "If you really want to do what they said, Zhu Xie Weiming will arrive soon, then it doesn't hurt for them to be exposed." ”

Guo Song nodded, turned around and walked away quickly, Zhao Tengjiao wanted to persuade him again, but Guo Song left without looking back.

Zhao Tengjiao looked at his back and walked away, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this kid is not used for himself, it's a pity!

.........

When Guo Song rushed back to his tent, it was not yet dawn, and there was no trace of the other party's coming, he heard it very clearly, the other party was going to kill him, so he didn't know how many people would come?

He hid his horses under a large willow tree, where there were several large rocks to keep the horses in check.

Guo Song himself sat cross-legged on the big willow tree, the thick snow on the tree obscured him, he carried the quiver on his back, held the bow in his hand, and waited patiently for the arrival of the other party.

The big willow tree was about thirty steps away from the big tent, monitoring the surrounding situation.

The sky was dark, and the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and I saw four small black dots rushing towards this side, and it was the group of black-clothed Shatuo people last night, and the person who was the leader was the one who ran away with his bare buttocks at the beginning, Guo Song recorded his face last night.

The four of them had quite a lot of combat experience, and immediately surrounded the big tent from all sides, Guo Song sneered, pulled out an arrow from his back, stood on the big tree, drew his bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow.

The arrow was like lightning, and one man had his back to him, and the arrow passed from the back of the neck of the man in black. The arrow shot in, and the tip of the arrow came out of the throat in front of him, and the man in black choked his throat at once, but he couldn't cry out, and fell to the ground, convulsing all over.

The other three didn't notice it, they shouted, swung their knives to split the big tent, and killed them together.

"How could there be no one?"

One of them shouted and rushed out from the front, and before he could react, a wolf-tooth arrow shot into his forehead, the tip of the arrow peeked through the back of his head, and the man in black screamed, killing him instantly.

"Third child, there is an ambush!"

The other two realized that something was wrong, and fled together in a panic and ran to the war horse in the distance.

Two arrows came one after the other, one of them was shot in the neck, and he fell to the ground, struggling in pain, but the last man was shot in the thigh, and the powerful arrow actually pierced the thigh bone, and he fell to the ground at once, holding his thigh and screaming.

Guo Song's heart was as hard as iron, one sword at a time, and he killed the two Shatuo people who were struggling and had not yet died, and finally walked in front of the Shatuo people who shot him in the thigh, he squatted down and sneered: "Do you still know me?" ”

"You are.... You are ......"

The Shatuo soldier suddenly recognized the Taoist priest in front of him in horror, and the scene three years ago appeared in front of his eyes again.

"Spare your life!"

Guo Song waved his hand, the cold light of the dagger flashed, blood burst out from his neck, and the Shatuo soldier lay heavily on the ground, staring at the sky like the eyes of a dead fish, turning into a corpse.

Guo Song sank the four corpses into the lake, and hid the four war horses, he whistled, and the fierce son circled in front to lead the way, and Guo Song galloped towards Montenegro.
