He was followed ashore by several men, dressed in the same clothes and with short knives pinned to their waists. After several people went ashore, they scattered in all directions, looking very vigilant.

"Bayin, what do you smell?"

A companion tiptoed up behind Bayin, who was sniffing the air, and asked softly.

Bayin didn't say anything, just kept sniffing with his nose.

The companion looked around and didn't find anything, so he couldn't help but laugh and curse Bayin in a low voice: "There is no female dog peeing here, you smell something." ”

Bayin is a Mongol, formerly a soldier with a red flag in Changdian Fort, and after being captured, he was assigned to the Phi Dao Special Detachment, and is now transferred to the Anti-Jin National Salvation Army with his brigade. Because Bayin was familiar with the terrain, he was sent out to reconnoiter the enemy this time.

"I'm not smelling urine, it's the Jurchen barbarians who have horses, and it has just rained during the day, if there are horses around, the smell of horse urine is very strong, and you can smell it from afar."

Bayin explained to his companion.

That companion was a North Korean named Kim Sam-soon, who was also a Jianju soldier with a red flag, but he belonged to Goryeo Niulu.

For example, soldiers such as Bayin and Jin Sanshun, who were born in the former Jianzhou soldiers in the Kuandian area, accounted for at least one-sixth of the anti-Jin National Salvation Army.

In the other two elite guards divisions of the imperial army and the Taiwan division, there are also a large number of Jianzhou surrendered troops, with about 1,000 people.

After a long period of ideological education, the soldiers surrendered in Jianzhou fully realized the harm brought by the reactionary separatist clique in Jianzhou to the motherland of Daming, and even more realized the oppression and oppression of these low-level soldiers and civilians by this reactionary clique.

"Really?"

Jin Sanshun had never ridden a horse or raised a horse when he was in Goryeo Niulu before, so he didn't know anything about what Bayin said, but he felt that it sounded very reasonable, so he also learned to smell the air like Bayin, but he couldn't smell anything.

The shadows of the trees and grass branches shook in all directions, and the river behind them swayed slightly, and it was quiet.

After a while, Jin Sanshun withdrew his nose a little frustratedly and said in a low voice: "My nose is not a dog nose, I really can't smell anything." ”

"You're a dog."

Bayin pinched Jin Sanshun angrily, Sanshun just wanted to make a painful appearance, but suddenly saw Bayin fall to the ground violently, and waved his hand back: "Don't make a sound, there is movement!" ”

Sanshun was startled, and immediately lay on the ground, not daring to move. The companions scattered in the rest of the place also became nervous, lying on the ground one by one and listening carefully, and there was a slight noise in front of them.

Sanshun poked Ba Yin lightly and asked him in a low voice, "What sound?" ”

"It's like the sound of a horse eating."

Far away, Bayin didn't know exactly what it was. But he was sure that there must be a horse ahead, because he smelled the smell of horse urine.

"Don't move here, I'll crawl over and take a look."

Bayin gestured and crawled towards the forest ahead. He didn't dare to run over directly, because if there was really someone in front of him, it would be easy for the other party to notice.

It had rained during the day, and the ground was a little rotten, and Bayin struggled to crawl forward, and his body was covered with mud and leaves. He crawled along the grass until he disappeared from sight, and no one could see where he had climbed.

Jin Sanshun and the rest of his companions were lying on the shore, their hearts were pounding, and the tension seemed to make their chests explode.

Zhou Xiaoqi, who led this reconnaissance team, was also a native of Kuandian, but he had never been a soldier before, and his family moved from Gaizhou in response to the call of the government in the eleventh year of Wanli, but he did not expect that in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, Ning Yuanbo and Li Chengliang would throw all of them to the Jianzhou Tartars.

Zhou Xiaoqi's family was unwilling to leave the land that had been cultivated for more than 20 years, so they had no choice but to become tenants for the Jianzhou people.

For the majority of the people of Kuandian, as long as they can have land to plant and eat, it is the same to recognize whoever is the master.

The people of Jianzhou are a little more cruel, but for the Han people under their name, they still cherish it and will not kill them easily.

Although the women are wronged, don't they be able to live?

The world is like this, what can the common people do?

All this changed until the emergence of a Ming army more than two years ago.

To tell the truth, in his heart, Zhou Xiaoqi did not agree with the imperial army's "burning, killing and looting" of Kuandian, and even less with the imperial army moving the people away, you must know that Kuandian is fertile land here!

However, what the above said is also true, these Han people live in Kuandian for one day, which is to provide food for the people of Jianzhou for one more day, so that more people of Jianzhou can take up arms to kill innocent compatriots and plunder more wealth.

Drifting with the tide, the Jianzhou Tartars couldn't defeat the imperial army, and Zhou Xiaoqi's family could only follow the neighbors on the road of migration.

After that, his family was settled in Phi Dao, because there was not much land to cultivate on Phi Dao, so the young men among the Kuandian people who were placed on Phi Island were either organized to go out to sea to fish, or joined the emperor's army, or obeyed the arrangements of the yamen.

In this context, Zhou Xiaoqi, who had never held a knife, became a member of the Phidao detachment of the Imperial Army, and then became a small flag officer in charge of a team.

The moment he set foot on his homeland again, Zhou Xiaoqi's eyes were ruddy, how he hoped that the family could return to live in his homeland again, but he knew that if he couldn't drive away the Jianzhou Tartars, this dream would never come true.

This time, he was ordered to explore the main force of the Jianzhou Tartars, although he didn't know why he had to march and camp slowly every day like a turtle, but after more than two years of military career, he told Zhou Xiaoqi that there would definitely be big moves on it!

What a big move, Zhou Xiaoqi doesn't know, and he doesn't need to know, he just needs to do his own thing.

Seeing that Bayin hadn't come back for a long time, Zhou Xiaoqi's brows furrowed tightly, and he muttered in his heart, could there really be an army of Jiannu in this area of Sanlipu?

Previously, the reconnaissance work had been organized by the cavalry, but recently the cavalry sentinels were frantically blocked by the Jianzhou Tartars, and the upper part had to adjust and use the dense river channels in the Kuandian area to conduct lurk reconnaissance.

I don't know how long it took, the grass in front of me suddenly moved, and just when everyone's hearts were about to jump out of their throats, Bayin's head emerged from the grass, and then quickly crawled over and lowered his voice and said to Zhou Xiaoqi: "Captain, there is a road about a mile ahead, and there are a few horses tied to the side of the road. ”

Hearing this, Jin Sanshun hurriedly whispered: "Captain, since we have found the Jianzhou barbarians, let's go back and report it." ”

Zhou Xiaoqi shook his head and said: "No, our task is to find out the specific location of the Tartar white flag, and now we only find a few probe horses, and we don't know if it is a white flag or a white flag, how can we report it when we go back like this?" ”

A soldier thought for a moment and said, "Captain, if it's just these few Jiannu, why don't we touch it and ask for it?" ”

This proposal made everyone enthusiastic when they heard it, and of course Zhou Xiaoqi had no opinion, he also wanted to make a contribution to the promotion of the general flag. At that moment, he led them to crawl to the place where Bayin had gone before, ready to do it when the time came.

As soon as a few people climbed to the place, before they could touch the side of the road, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Zhou Xiaoqi's face changed, and he waved his hand to let everyone move. Everyone didn't think of this change, and they all clung to the ground and didn't dare to gasp.

In the night, the golden soldiers who were tethered to the horses and fed on the side of the road in front of them had already turned over on their horses, and not far to the north of them, hundreds of horsemen were rushing over. And farther behind, it was clear that a large group of men and horses were moving in this direction.

In the grass, everyone did not dare to come out, only a pair of eyes stared nervously at everything in front of them.

Everyone cast their eyes on Zhou Xiaoqi and silently asked what to do.

"Let's go, go back right away!"

Zhou Xiaoqi gave a decisive order, but Bayin suddenly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Captain, you take people back to report, I will continue to keep an eye on them here to see which way they are going." ”

Zhou Xiaoqi was shocked: "Bayin, this is too dangerous!" “

Bayin smiled: "I'm alone, the barbarians can't find me." ”

Zhou Xiaoqi hesitated, agreed to Bayin's request, and told him to be careful, and take the others to touch back quickly.

After Zhou Xiaoqi and the others left, Bayin continued to lie in the grass by taking advantage of the night, with a pair of eyes staring at the front.

...........

Late at night, the minister-in-law Wei Dagong was not sleepy at all, so he simply put on his clothes and patrolled the camp.

Deep trenches, sharp fences, and firearms firing points at various locations have turned the vast barracks into hedgehogs armed to the teeth.

In the face of this kind of "bunker", in addition to opening the door inside, Gonggong Wei really couldn't think of why the Eight Banners soldiers came in.

This military camp is one hundred and forty miles away from Yiju, and the camping place is set up on the side of the Rang River, and if there is a water camp, you can directly touch the rear of the two white flags along this Raksu River.

It's a pity that Gonggong Wei doesn't have a water camp at hand.

The stars in the sky are just like the scene of my father-in-law's previous life.

Everything was silent, and the distant view was blurred in the night.

The father-in-law didn't ask the guards to follow, only the eldest nephew Wei Xuewen and Kumamoto Oki followed behind him, keeping a distance of ten steps.

The patrol team walked by the riverside from time to time, and behind the reverent gaze, Grandpa Wei caught a hint of nervousness and fear.

As the army moved north, and with the frequent contact with the Eight Banners, even the most dull soldiers knew that a big battle was about to take place.

Father-in-law, also nervous.

Although it has a certain upper hand, the opponent is a strong enemy with tens of thousands of cavalry after all!

After decades of development, Jianzhou has long evolved from a simple mountain infantry to a powerful combat group integrating infantry and cavalry - the Manchurian people, which was called a fishing and hunting nation by historians in the previous life, has already approached the nomadic people, and in a few years, they will become the most powerful armed group in East Asia.

How to get rid of Nurhachi's wool has become a top priority for his father-in-law.

Father-in-law Wei came to the river, squatted down, held a handful of river water in his hand, and watched in amazement as the river water flowed from between his fingers.

Zhenying, our good student, can you ask the teacher to pluck out a few hairs?
