Li Kou shuttled quickly through the mountains and forests.

He didn't have much of a field tracking skill.

But he's been learning a bit lately.

There were scouts in the ancient army, and he thought that these were just for information.

During this time in Weizhou, he did not ask for advice from those generals.

At this time, he learned that the scout not only has the function of reconnaissance and detection post, but also has the ability to track in the field.

The distant barricade of the Liao State is actually the prototype of the scouts of later generations.

The Western Xia also learned this set, and the world only regarded the famous capturing army as a prisoner who only captured the people of the Song Dynasty to supplement the national strength of the Western Xia.

In fact, the Capture Army also has the functions of spying on intelligence, tracking in the field, and concentrating superior forces to eliminate important targets found.

There are even more such elite small units in the Western Army.

There are two spy teams under Zhi Keshi, both internal and external.

Internally, the spies represented by Wu Da went to the people to find out the small information of the people.

Externally, Zhi Keshi can not only order the assassination of the generals of the Western Xia Khitan at the right time, but can even infiltrate the palace of the Western Xia to assassinate the Western Xia emperor.

This is not a small army that will only assassinate, they can distract the attention of the Tanguts with a small force according to a precise plan, the elite small force quickly approaches the target, after a single hit, or after the assassination fails, this force will follow the mountains and forests that the capture army cannot pass, quickly rush back to the large army, along the way, the small force attack, destroy, and even gather the living force to knock out the more valuable targets for the comrades to fight for a chance to escape, this team is the most elite soldier of the folded family.

Li Kou failed to learn from these troops.

But he found a lot of information in the village committee warehouse.

Among them, two currently available can be called divine books.

One is the "World Scout Documentary" that I don't know who bought in the village, and there are training methods for scouts.

There is also an even more remarkable book, which is the "Encyclopedia of Practical Soil Law Construction and Industrialization" compiled by the state in the mid-20th century, which is an old book that has been thrown away in the warehouse for many years, and the publisher is actually the revolutionary group at that time.

It was with these two books that Li Kou had great confidence in developing the Beiyuan Military Village into a base for preliminary or even rudimentary industrialization, which was the capital for him to settle down and do great things.

The latter is not fully usable for the time being, but "World Scout Documentary" can give him a wealth of combat skills.

What's more, the "Practical Encyclopedia" also includes the training methods of the militia, the training of the greatest army, and the guidance for strengthening ideological construction.

Li Kou is now practicing the tracking technique taught in "Scout Documentary".

To put it bluntly, it's not mystical knowledge.

First, we must be careful, and second, we must have bright eyes.

Li Kou does not lack these two basic skills.

He connected with the ancient tracing technique he had learned from the generals, but what was lacking today was practice.

Li Kou is moving fast in the mountains and forests, and where he can advance and retreat quickly is the focus of his greatest attention.

Footprints, dung, and traces left by the methods used to fetch water in this era, as well as ruins left by fires in the mountains and forests.

These are the basis for him to quickly track down the enemy.

There are footprints ahead.

Li Kou was on guard to go over, and when he saw it, he immediately retreated.

The footprints are fresh.

Whoosh –

Cold arrows burst out.

Organ.

The scouts of antiquity were by no means short of personal combat skills.

They can quickly set traps and craft hidden weapons from materials they can find anywhere.

This is the basic skill, but it is also the gap in strength.

The scouts of the Silent Thieves obviously don't have the ability to scout the elite troops.

Fresh footprints deliberately left behind, connected with a crossbow that stepped on.

The strength is too bad.

So they exposed their whereabouts.

Li Kou bypassed the footprints and rushed down the valley to the bottom of the mountain.

There is a river under the mountain, and if the enemy wants to put it in order, he must follow the valley.

Unable to pounce on thirty or fifty feet, some people in the mountains and forests exclaimed.

Li Kou ignored it, the big gun in his hand moved forward a little, picked up a person in the grass, smashed it on the tree, and another person fell, and the two Jingsai thief scouts lost their combat strength.

Li Kou ignored it again and chased further.

The mountains and forests are very narrow, and the Jingsai thief scouts can only go all the way.

Or, they will hide in the cliffs on either side.

Li Koliu's two people are not without intentions.

Chasing to the river, Li Kou turned around and drilled into the mountains and forests.

The two scouts were gone, but they left their mark.

Traces of being dragged by someone.

Li Kou was unexpected, so he only followed the drag marks all the way to the cliff.

He didn't expect the thief's viciousness.

Two thief scouts with their backs to the trees, their throats wiped, were still bleeding.

"Good." Li Kou picked at the two men and searched under their clothes.

Salt, was taken away.

A little bit of yellow rice was also taken away.

All that left of the two were the knife at their waist and the work on their backs.

This shows that the thief is extremely stingy with resources.

They didn't carry much baggage.

Li Kou leaned against a big tree and took out the fire sickle after thinking about it for a while.

How?

"I don't believe you can live forever in the fire." Li Kou said.

As soon as the fire started, someone whistled overhead.

The Jingsai thieves are fierce, and Li Kou is even more ruthless than them.

He actually set fire to the mountain, which exceeded the psychological expectation of the thief scout.

Three or five figures ran quickly down the mountain along the ropes on the cliff.

Li Kou stayed behind them unhurriedly until a few of them ran to the river.

On the third day, there was a slight panic in the military village.

Zhu Wen has been organized into three groups, each group has 30 to 50 people for the native soldiers, these native soldiers are also in production, but Zhu Wen according to Li Kou's instructions to integrate the three groups, collectively deal with a wasteland, as long as the thirty or fifty people are taken care of nearby, it is the Jingsai thieves rushing into the stockade, they can also quickly form a combat force to block it.

In just a moment, Zhu Wen selected one hundred and twenty people to form a sturdy archer who did not produce anything but patrolled, and he could kill them.

They did not have bows and crossbows, which were absolutely forbidden by the imperial court.

But they were armed with shields, long knives, and also had hook knives and spears in their hands.

This is a force that three or five thieves dare not fight.

But Li Kou has been in the mountains and forests for three days.

"You have to go into the mountains and search." Zhu Wen immediately prepared to take half of the team into the mountains and forests.

Ruda helped with the training in the mountains, especially the use of hook knives and guns.

He has fought fiercely with Western Xia for many years, and he is naturally very experienced in dealing with the captive army dozens of times.

It's just that Luda doesn't think that Li Kou is out of luck.

"The skill of your village master, even if he is a strong soldier to fight against him, I am afraid that he is not his opponent." Luda said, "Don't bother him, if you go into the mountains and forests, you will still worry him." ”

Yao Pingkang also sent people to appease, and he had sent people to search along the mountains and forests.

There were many traces of the fighting, and the bodies of two thieves were also found.

This is the reason for Yao Pingkang to be reassured.

Zhu Wen was not at ease, he just wanted to search the mountain.

The cottage is not at ease, and the elders have sent out all the strong laborers in the family.

Li Dalang is here, and the military village is stable.

If he is assassinated by thieves, the military village is afraid that it will become a meal for others.

As soon as it was dark, Zhu Wen ordered people to light torches and was about to enter the mountain.

"Li Da is back." Yao Pingkang also made a report.

Before the people on the mountain rejoiced, they saw a fiery dragon winding down from the bottom of the mountain.

"It's okay, I caught seven or eight thieves." Li Kou greeted the crowd and ordered, "I'll rest for a few days, you take these thieves to the mountain, and immediately behead them, and hang their heads high at the gate of the village, so you don't need to discuss it anymore." ”

For three days, he did not suffer any loss in the mountains and forests.

It's just that......

He hesitated to make a tacit agreement with the Silent Thief first.

But he eventually abandoned the idea.

There is no second way to deal with thieves.

Only by being more ruthless than them can we make them more restrained.

It's just that the thieves will definitely anger the Jingsai thief army, and they are afraid that they will do both.

Who?

One is a sneak attack, and the other is to find the government.
