They are confident in the concealment of each village, and the Pingnan Army has just been formed, so they should not know the specific location of these villages, why can they destroy so many villages so easily, and the only reason they can think of is that the traitor is the only reason they can think of. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As long as there are traitors to lead the way, the Pingnan army can easily avoid the sentinels of the cottage, and go straight to the depths of the cottage, launching a surprise attack with superior forces, thus achieving a huge victory.

"Mole, it seems that there is a mole within us."

The invincible eyes looked at everyone fiercely, as if he wanted to see through their hearts, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads.

"Big ghost master, even if there are moles in the cottage, you can't have moles in the six villages! The Pingnan Army has just been formed, how can there be so many traitors to take refuge? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Why did so many moles suddenly appear, this is unreasonable! How much benefit did the Pingnan army give them. ”

"Great ghost master, brother of our village, I recently heard a rumor that a large gold mine has been discovered in Hulu Valley, and hundreds of miners have mined it day and night, and the output is very considerable."

"This is not a rumor, but it is true, the brothers in our village inquired about it a few days ago."

"Big ghost master, we have a saying in Datang that money can make ghosts grind, Hulu Valley is the station of the Pingnan Army, and gold mines have been discovered, so it is not surprising that some people secretly take refuge."

Fu Wushu was furious and scolded: "Bastard, since you already know that there is a gold mine in Hulu Valley, why don't you tell me, do you want to swallow it alone?" ”

"The Great Ghost Lord is angry, we thought you already knew."

Jian Wushu stood up, paced back and forth in the Juyi Hall, paused, and said: "The Pingnan Army has three or five thousand men and horses, and gold mines have been found in the Hulu Valley stationed in the station, if you don't get rid of them as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles in the future!" ”

"Big ghost master, the Pingnan army is strong, and all of us have gathered these horses, and we may not be able to beat them, so it's better to ask for reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?"

"The big ghost master, our people are lurking in Luzhou City, and they have figured out the purpose of the formation of the Pingnan Army, not against us, but to quell the rebellion of the two families, once the Pingnan Army is strong, the people of the two families are only afraid of it, and the big ghost lord is familiar with the people of the two families, if you ask them to help, they will definitely give you face."

"Yes! Big ghost master, the Pingnan army is really terrible, it wiped out six villages in a row, and the brothers in our village are terrified, so let's ask for reinforcements from the two wars! Defeat the Pingnan army with superior soldiers and horses and get rid of this scourge. ”

He waved his hand and said angrily: "The Pingnan Army just won a few sneak attacks, and it scared you like this, we don't have a face-to-face fight with the Pingnan Army now, do we still have to be afraid of these farmers who have just been formed?" You asked me to ask for reinforcements, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? ”

Obviously, no matter what, he didn't believe that the Pingnan Army, which had just been formed for less than a month, could be an elite division with extremely strong combat power, and he planned to have a face-to-face battle to find out what the combat strength of the Pingnan Army was.

"Everyone go back and gather their troops and horses and prepare to march into the Gourd Valley."

Invincible gave orders to everyone.

"Big Ghost Lord, when will you go?"

"Before dawn tomorrow, you must assemble at my place, and you must move quickly."

"Yes, Great Ghost Master."

The two leaders of the bandits received the order, left the Juyi Hall, and returned separately.

"Ghost master, the Pingnan Army is in the limelight now, and there are a lot of troops, if we rashly gather troops and horses, can we really win?"

The invincible cheeks twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth sneered: "It doesn't matter whether I can win or not, I did this to try to see how the combat power of the Pingnan Army is, whether it is as powerful as rumored, and whether it is as good as the rumors." ”

"Ghost master, let the brothers take their lives to try, this is not appropriate!"

"Don't worry, I won't let the brothers in the stockade die in vain, I will let the rabble test them."

"The ghost lord is high, they are all attached to the ghost master, and they dare not disobey."

"Hahaha!"

"General, you're looking for me."

Li Quan strode into the big tent and looked at Li An.

"Li Quan, what help can the ten captives you left behind yesterday bring to Ben General?"

Li An asked politely.

"General, these ten people are all forced to go up the mountain, they are not heinous, and they have also been persuaded by me to be willing to serve the general."

"Very well, what do they all know, do they know the location of the other bandits' lair?"

That's what Ang Lee cares about the most.

Li Quan was overjoyed and said: "General Hui, there are a few people who do know the nearby cottage and can lead the way for the army." ”

"Okay, it's really good, if we continue like this, every time we leave a few alive mouths from the captives, we can always find the bandits' lair below smoothly and exterminate all the bandits in Luzhou, which is just around the corner."

Ang Lee, of course, was even more pleased.

"General, will we start the operation tonight? I am willing to participate in the action. ”

Li Quan actively asked for help.

Li An patted Li Quan's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Li Quan, you are now a talent of the medical team, how can Ben let you go on an adventure ahead?" Stay here and boil some more herbs. ”

"General, there are only a few injured in the battle of the Pingnan Army, and the medicinal materials that have been boiled out now are enough for hundreds of years, where do you need to continue to boil."

Li Quan didn't regard himself as an outsider, and directly raised his mouth.

Li An glared at Li Quan and said, "You are also a scholar, do you know what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace?" There are only a few wounded in a few battles of the Pingnan army, and it is true that there is no need to consume too many medicinal materials, but the enemies that our Pingnan army will encounter in the future are not only these rabble hiding in the mountains, we will also encounter more powerful enemies, and the powerful enemy may cause us great losses, the number of wounded soldiers will increase greatly, and the medicinal materials will not be enough at that time, understand? ”

"Yes, General, the villain understands."

"Alright, go and call Nan Jiyun."

Li An waved his hand and asked Li Quan to leave.

"General, is there another mission, leave it to our first reconnaissance team!"

Soon, the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade of the Special Regiment of the Pingnan Army rushed into the big tent quickly.

Li An smiled: "That's right, the ten captives left yesterday knew the location of the nearby cottage, and they would have been responsible for guiding the way, and you led the soldiers under your command to go to investigate in three ways to find out the situation of the three villages." ”

"It's only three villages, this is too enjoyable, what about five villages last time?"

"Nan Jiyun, if you think it's too little, I'll let the second team investigate."

Li An's face was slightly pale, ready to change generals.

"Don't don't, general, I'll just go, and I'll complete the task."

"Alright, let's go!"

Watching Nan Jiyun trotting away, Li An sighed, got up and walked in the direction of Donggu's baggage group.

He wanted to see how the brand-new armor made by the craftsman according to his request was done.

"General, according to your requirements, the armor has been ready, you see."

The blacksmith rushed over.

Li An was overjoyed and praised: "It's done so quickly, it's too surprising to Benjiang, okay, let Benjiang take a good look and see how you are doing." ”

An airtight all-metal armor was displayed in front of Ang Lee, this kind of protective equipment made in the shape of European armor in later generations, it seemed that there were no defensive flaws, and all parts could be fully protected.

Li An picked up the fully enclosed helmet from the wooden frame and put it on gently, it didn't feel very heavy, and the small hole left in front of him could completely see all the situation outside, and the arrows shot from the outside obviously could not penetrate these small holes, so as to protect the wearer's head from injury.

The cuirass was also relatively strong, much heavier than the helmet, the arms and legs were all made of iron, and the shoes and fingers were also delicately made, and did not affect the movement of the fingers and feet.

Wearing all the armor on his body, Li An felt quite comfortable, and he didn't feel too uncomfortable, and this armor used the style of the West in later generations, but the material was the material of Datang standard armor, the quality was good, and it was very powerful to wear on the body.

Ang Lee walked back and forth in the courtyard, constantly moving his fingers, feeling the flexibility of the armor, and even took a crossbow and fired arrows at a distant target to verify that the design of the finger part would not affect the dexterity of the fingers.

Holding a spear, wielding it is not very difficult, and finger shields and long knives can also be very active.

However, this armor is still too tight after all, the defensive power is leveraged, and the flexibility is still far inferior to the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Come, help Ben unload."

Ang Lee asked his entourage to help him remove the armor and hang it on the scarecrow next to him.

"Let Ben see what the armor's defense capabilities are."

Li An grinned, took a strong crossbow beside his entourage, and aimed at the newly made armor.

"Whoosh...... Bell ......"

The crossbow bolt shot at the armor at great speed, but instead of penetrating, it was blocked by the heavy armor.

"Again, you guys shoot together."

"Whoosh...... Bell Bell Bell ......"

A large number of crossbow arrows shot at this armor, but all of them were blocked, and Li An's several consecutive crossbow arrows shot at the small hole in the head, but all of them were also blocked.

"Yes, very good, this kind of defense is really powerful."

This defense power made Li Ang very satisfied, of course, this ancient European plate armor, that is, the defense power is second to none, and what Li Ang values is this super defense power.

That is to say, the reason why Li An wanted to create this weapon was entirely to pursue the goal of zero casualties, and this kind of bulky armor was useless in the field, but if it was a battle with an absolute superiority in troops, a large number of soldiers carried ladders to the opponent's city wall, this kind of impermeable armor had its advantages, super defensive strength, it could resist the dense rain of arrows shot at the city, and it was not easy for the sword to hurt the ironclad warriors, so that this kind of soldiers wearing heavy armor could attack the fortifications in front, The casualties will definitely be reduced a lot, and besides, the requirements for mobility are not high, and it is understandable that they are a little heavier.

Of course, this kind of heavy armor can be used when attacking, and it can also be used when defending, as long as the besieging side does not have a trebuchet that can throw giant stones, soldiers wearing this armor are immune to almost all damage.

Such a heavy armor can only play an important role when attacking and defending, and its cost is quite expensive, for this reason, it is natural not to make too much, and a certain amount is enough.

"Yes, the armor is well done, it fully meets the requirements of this general, how much time does it take to make sixty sets of such armor?"

"General, this kind of armor is quite time-consuming, and the consumption of materials is also very large, many of us are in a hurry to make such a set, sixty sets will take at least more than a month!"

Li An waved his hand: "No, it's too slow, I will give you at most half a month and a day, and sixty sets of armor must be completed." ”

"General, it takes a lot of time and physical strength to build this armor, we don't have enough manpower, if we can send us some more manpower, we may be able to complete this task in half a month."

The craftsman makes a request.

Li An nodded and said, "Okay, I will increase the number of people for you, but you must complete the task within half a month, understand?" ”

"Rest assured, General, we will do our best."

Ang Lee nodded and turned to leave.

At this moment, Li Ang has already calculated, as long as these plate armor are manufactured, there is no need to worry about attacking the fortification, in order to further improve the defensive ability, Li An decided to equip the forward warriors wearing this armor with shields and long knives, so that they can become ironclad warriors who make the enemy fearful.

In the evening, Nan Jiyun led the soldiers of the first reconnaissance team under his command, and under the leadership of a number of bandit prisoners, the soldiers rushed to the three bandit dens in three ways.

Having already flown two missions, the soldiers have become more proficient, more familiar with the terrain of the surrounding mountains, and much more swift in their movements.

"Team Zheng, there seems to be no one in this cottage!"

A reconnaissance soldier in a camouflage suit ran over cautiously and reported the situation to Nan Jiyun.

"No one, how can there be no one?"

Nan Jiyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at the bandit captives beside him: "How many people are there in the bandits' lair here?" ”

"There are more than a hundred people."

"Then why does it look empty, like no one?"

"I really don't know, maybe I'm scared away!"

"General, what now? How do you report it when you go back? ”

Nan Jiyun pondered for a moment: "A few of you stay here to be on guard, and a few of you go in with me to have a look." ”

"Team Zheng, there may be an ambush inside, so don't go!"

Nan Jiyun said angrily: "Since they are all here, how can they go back empty-handed, if there is really no one, tomorrow's army will kill, won't they be in the air." ”

With five or six subordinates, Nan Jiyun quietly infiltrated the bandits' lair, and without encountering any resistance, he smoothly entered the core area of the bandits' lair. (To be continued.) )
