Those Mongolian tribes, large and small, are not fools.

Of course, if you are a fool, you will not be able to survive in this fertile Liaohetao area.

In the past few months, the Houjin has suffered a series of tragic defeats, which have already been introduced to the northern steppes of the Ming Empire.

Those Mongolian tribes, after getting this good or bad news, were mixed with joy.

They were happy that the strength of this rapidly rising Houjin State was so powerful that it overwhelmed all the Mongolian tribes.

Now that this tiger has been hit all over by the hunter of the Ming Empire, it has invisibly eliminated the huge threat of the Houjin Kingdom to its own tribe.

That's certainly a good thing.

What worries them is that the Ming Empire has risen again strongly, and the speed of its rise is faster and more fierce than the original Houjin!

And every time the Han empire rises strongly, it is the time when the various tribes of the northern steppes are suffering.

Because most of them were not engaged in production, the grain, salt and iron materials of the previous dynasties were basically traded or plundered from the Han Empire in the south.

The Han Empire is strong, and it is already good if you don't come to fight yourself, where do you dare to go south to rob these scattered tribes?

In that case, the hard times will naturally come, not only will the number of people not go up, but even the life of the nobles will not be easy.

Most of the areas in this Liaohetao are flat, with sufficient water sources and abundant vegetation, which is a rare and huge treasure land.

It can be said that if the people of the Ming Empire are allowed to come here to engage in planting and breeding production, the harvest of agriculture and breeding will not be worse than that of the general Jiangnan region, and the breeding industry will even exceed the vast majority of the Jiangnan region.

It's just that since ancient times, most of the time here, it has been occupied by various nomads, wasting a huge treasure land.

Otherwise, this place would not have been named Liaohetao.

However, any place named by the Han people as a Hetao, a delta, or something like that, is an excellent place for human beings to survive and reproduce.

Now Li Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guard, has just begun to lead the Seven Killing Legion and the Greedy Wolf Legion to clean up and control the vast western region of Shanxi, which is the Hetao region.

The Xihetao region is not worse than this Liaohetao, if Li Dingguo expels and defeats the various nomadic tribes entrenched there not long after, he will get that huge territory.

Just in the Hetao area, the two basic national policies of the Ming Empire have been promoted, and the harvest of various crops obtained by vigorously planting and breeding in the future will be enough to feed the entire northwest region.

This is not a joke, it is easy to intensively build thousands of 100,000 acres of super ecological farms on that huge territory.

The flat, open, and endless terrain of the Hetao is the best place to build a super-large new ecological farm of 100,000 acres.

Moreover, if the Hetao area were to overhaul the canals and divert the water from the various rivers, the waterway network would be greatly expanded to the northwest.

As countless vast areas that are about to be desertified, or have become desertified, have been turned into oases again, the prospects and potential for their development are almost limitless.

Because it is possible to dig countless canals on the one hand, guide the river to flow westward, and connect all the large and small rivers along the way with the Grand Canal.

If we vigorously promote afforestation and the deepening of the two basic national policies, it is easy to turn it into a huge and boundless Jiangnan, and even extend all the way to Europe!

As long as there is a dense network of water, and there is no doubt about the fact that the desert can easily become an oasis.

……

Nowadays, this primitive area, which has not been developed for thousands of years, is full of dense forests and continuous roads, which are quite unsmooth.

Even if there are constantly dense teams coming and going, the terrain is very open, but it is only a small path on the ground.

There are dense forests on both sides of the road in front of you, and the large army can't use it at all, so it's a natural position to ambush.

It's late spring, and the trees and flowers are all lush and lush, and it's best to lurk.

Even if 100,000 people are hidden in it, they can't be seen from the outside.

Therefore, this area has become the place where Cao Bianjiao's Xuanwu Legion is about to set up an ambush.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!" ……

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of crossbow bolts being fired, followed by the sound of corpses falling to the ground with a "poof" from the woods.

Apparently, this is the scout brigade, using a repeater to kill the enemy.

This piece of territory within a radius of dozens of miles has been completely controlled by the ten-person squads of the Scout Brigade.

But all the Tartar scouts who were not in a hurry and came out of the Great Wall in the Guannai, all of them, were wiped out.

In the middle of the night, the crowd of people who were still marching on war horses or with weapons were either bandits or spies of the nomads, and they would never kill ordinary people by mistake.

What's more, those ordinary people will not travel in the middle of the night, unless they don't die.

In this Liaohetao area, there are not too many horse bandits, and even the warriors of various Mongolian tribes are robbing and killing each other, which is very chaotic.

Fight in the mountains and dense forests, and all the hunters of these parties must be cleared. Courier

It was a very special battle, completely different from the battle on the plains not far away.

"Mo Xiaoyong, go and ask my brother how they are ready."

Wang Fujun said a little uneasy.

"Understood!"

A tall, young and thin officer beside him hurriedly agreed to leave quickly.

"Whoosh!" ……

Mo Xiaoyong hadn't gone far before the sound of a repeating crossbow shot came.

Faintly, it seems that the sound of something falling can be heard.

If I'm not mistaken, it's the sound of someone being hit by a repeater, falling from a tree, and rolling on the ground.

The result of such speculation made everyone present more and more vigilant.

Needless to say, those who were killed by the repeater crossbow must have been bandits and hunters from various parts of the grassland.

"Nima's!"

Wang Fujun cursed in a low voice.

He didn't want his scouts to run into unidentified enemies.

It's not fun.

The scout squad he sent out were all very elite soldiers, and if they lost one, they would lose one, and Wang Fujun could not afford too many casualties.

Actually, this is nonsense.

He commanded the most elite 3,000 scout soldiers of the entire Xuanwu Legion.

Can someone who can be selected into the Scout Brigade not have a little ability?

It's a pity that one of these elite soldiers dies one less.

A hunter of this level cannot be replenished in a short period of time, and it will definitely not be cultivated without great effort and without the talent of a scout.

Especially in the current situation, when a big war with the enemy is about to begin, this kind of elite veteran is very precious.

They lurked around the battlefield and could kill a lot of elite enemies, and Wang Fujun didn't want them to fall under the swords and arrows of those bandit spies.

The officers and men of these scout brigades are specially trained and are very familiar with dense forests and night operations.

They work in groups of three, armed with short guns, repeaters, and other sharp weapons, and each squad is equipped with a new telescope that allows them to observe the enemy from a great distance.

In the early days of the establishment of various scout brigades, Zhu Youxiao had already ordered the formation of special sniper detachments to work hard to train snipers.

"These little cubs are getting better and better."

After nearly a night of fighting, it was almost dawn, and Wang Fujun had not yet received any news of casualties from the various scout squads.

That's pretty impressive.

Because this time the battle was completely at night, and most of the fighting took place between the mountains, which was extremely dangerous.

Since the great changes in the Ming Empire, more than half a year has passed, and in terms of training snipers, each scout brigade has a mature set of experience, and the level of technical combat is also quite high.

The combination of systematic theoretical knowledge and practice is the reason why the snipers of the Ming New Army are strong.

They are the most lethal of the Scout combat sequences.

If it weren't for the white smoke that would have been exposed after firing the Short Bolt, it would have to be reloaded, and the repeater would have to be fired at night.

Otherwise, a sniper can take out a group of enemy spies without having to move his nest.

Because everyone is fighting in the dense forest, the speed of such a clearing is often very slow.

In order to avoid excessive casualties, Wang Fujun led his scout brigade, and he had to be careful.

Because, the enemy's traps, traps, and the like are still relatively powerful.

If you are impatient, you will easily fall into the trap of the enemy.

But it doesn't matter, it's going to be bright now.

According to the news from the previous squads, the huge team of the Tartars has been out of the customs not long ago, and it is not far from here.

And just now, Mo Xiaoyong reported that his brother Wang Fuqiang and the army led by him had already taken place, waiting for the arrival of the Tartars.

Then, as planned, their front and middle armies were spared, and the Xuanwu Legion immediately launched a surprise attack, leaving all the Tartar soldiers and civilians in the rear army.

As long as this battle is fought well, Huang Taiji will inevitably be greatly injured, not to mention, he will become a frightened bird, and he will definitely lead his clan to run as far as he can.
