At night, the sky is filled with fine flakes of snow, and the bitter north wind whistles, sometimes rolling up humble stumps and leaves.

Forty miles northeast of Zhanhua City, at the foot of Magu Mountain, a few black shadows stuck to a small frozen river ditch, cautiously moving forward in a withered poplar forest.

"his uncle, it's all out of sixty-nine, why is it still so cold this day, this is a cold spring? Captain A, we're almost fifty miles away from Haicheng, there shouldn't be any Tartars here, right? In my opinion, it's better to try your luck in the south, and if you're lucky, let's do a good job! ”

It was a small and thin man who spoke, although he was thin, he had a lot of equipment on his body, a waist knife hanging from his waist, a shovel, and several hidden weapons that ordinary people could not name at all, and a bag on his back, as well as several axes and ropes.

What's even more shocking is that he also has a satchel at the back of his waist, which clearly contains a large plate of well-made fuses.

Jia Chang is a man in his early thirties, not tall, but extremely strong, and is holding a wooden stick to explore the way ahead.

Hearing the little man's words, he frowned slightly: "Sixth son, our main task now is reconnaissance, how can you do it if you want?" Cheer up Lao Tzu! If we can detect the big cat of the dog Tartar, our merit will definitely be no less than killing the Tartar, and the uncle can still treat you badly? ”

The sixth son didn't dare to resist the majesty of the first chief, so he hurriedly smiled and nodded, but muttered in a low voice: "How can the reconnaissance kill the Tartars." ”

He had a small hair called Da Qiang, enlisted in the army with him, and joined the model army, but Da Qiang successfully entered the pikeman sequence, but he was almost eliminated because of his poor physical condition, if he wasn't very familiar with gunpowder since he was a child, and he had a strong talent for making fuses, maybe he wouldn't even be able to do the auxiliaries.

Fortunately, this is also a blessing in disguise.

It is precisely because of his skill that he has now become a member of the model army's night non-harvest sequence, although he is a small soldier, he enjoys the treatment of a captain.

This has always been very useful to the six sons.

However, just a few days ago, in the battle to defend the city, Da Qiang, that fool, actually killed two Tartars one after another, and I heard that the first chief was already a certainty.

This made Liuzi feel a little uncomfortable......

Da Qiang's stupid brain, he thought that he would never be able to catch up with himself, but unexpectedly, he was one step to the sky.

"Captain A, there is a situation!"

At this time, the man in front of him, nicknamed 'Eagle Eye' and with excellent eyesight, suddenly let out a low voice and gestured to everyone.

Several people hurriedly swarmed towards Hawkeye.

Soon, I saw that on a small dirt slope not far away, there were three bright fires, and there were three large tents and two small tents around, and there were more than 20 war horses, all of which were tied to trees, and a temporary broken shed was built around them to help the war horses block the wind and snow.

This is no small stronghold for your average Tartar Ranger!

Liuzi immediately became excited, and said in a low voice: "Chief A, do we want to do a vote?" It's not too much, two flowering bullets, and I will keep them in the west of the sky! ”

Captain A ignored the six sons, but made a gesture for a few people to probe around.

Although the sixth son was unhappy, he didn't dare to disobey the order of the first chief, so he hurriedly went to the other side to check.

But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, the soul of the six sons will be scared away all of a sudden.

I saw that in the wilderness not far away, there were sparks, and there were at least four or five, or even five or six Tartar strongholds!

And looking further to the side of Magu Mountain, it is obvious that there is a faint fire flickering around.

Liuzi's heart suddenly beat violently like a drum.

As a model army, he had come to Magushan several times to train here, and he was very familiar with the terrain here, so he understood something at once.

The Magu Mountains are all small hills, but there are several very wide valleys in the middle, and there are several small villages in the valleys.

The sixth son hurriedly went back to inform the chief that several other people had also discovered the Tartar stronghold, and the originally calm atmosphere suddenly tensed!

"Captain A, we may have run into a Tartar nest! What to do? Do you want to do it? If we can figure it out, I'm afraid our brothers will be promoted! ”

Liuzi said excitedly.

He was indeed a little frightened at the first sight of so many Tartars, but this fear was left behind in a moment.

If the Tartars are not awesome, how can they highlight these awesome people who don't harvest at night?

Only by lying down these awesome Tartars can they show their elite!

Although the risk is extremely high, once it is successful, you can know the beauty of thinking about the six sons with your ass.

Da Qiang's foolish goods, what is the chief of the general flag? Lao Tzu wants to do 100 households!

This is also a concept that Xu Changqing has always admired in the army, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you can, you have to exchange merit!

In fact, people have bad roots, and everyone wants to trample others under their feet and highlight their own excellence.

Several others were also excited to mend the knife.

Since you don't accept this line of work at night, then there is no one who is afraid of death, and you can't do this job if you are afraid of death!

The first chief is also extremely excited.

However, he was a veteran oilman, and he was not in a hurry to make a decision, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Do it, you must do it!" But we can't do it! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone: "Eagle Eye, Liuzi, Sunflower, Lao Zhang, the four of you come with me, we have to go up the mountain to investigate carefully!" ”

"Captain A, then, what about me?"

The rest is a young man who looks like a white scholar, his body is very well-proportioned, just a little mother, although he also carries a lot of equipment, but he is mostly assisted.

Chief A smiled, looked at the white man and said, "Xiucai, although your equestrian skills are not good, your physical strength is the best among our masters!" The code words taught by Wu Ye before, have you learned them all? ”

Xiucai had read for a few days, and his brain was still very good, and he quickly came back to his senses: "Captain A, you mean ......"

"Hmm!"

Captain A smiled and nodded: "There are too many Tartars around, this time it's not safe, we have to prepare with both hands!" Xiucai, you can find a place to cat yourself around here, don't be discovered by the Tartars! Remember, keep warm, don't freeze yourself to death! Wait for our signal! Rest assured, once it is done, the merit belongs to all of us! ”

Xiucai originally wanted to say something, but Captain A directly blocked him back, and he could only nod heavily: "Captain A, brothers, don't worry, I promise to stay stable here!" ”

Several people finished the division of labor and quickly launched their actions.

The small river ditch flows out of the mountain, but this dry forest is gone before it reaches the foot of the mountain, and although there are many pines and cypresses on the nearest mountain, they still have to take a great risk if they want to go there and not be discovered by the Tartars.

But at this time, these men were all eager to make meritorious contributions, and they were not afraid at all, and quickly followed the footsteps of the first chief, and soon came to the end of the woods.

Here, the view is even wider.

They were almost half a mile away from the nearest hillside at this time, and in this space, there were only two Tartar strongholds.

These two Tartar strongholds, one high and one low, were firmly stuck in this area from two directions.

Fortunately, there has been snow in the past few days, and there are still a lot of residues on the ground, which is very white.

The first chief and the six sons glanced at each other, and soon made a decision, they all took out the white linen clothes like filial piety clothes, and quickly put them on their bodies.

A long voice said in a low voice: "Prostrate forward, don't make a sound, keep up!" There is a hunting dog Hawkeye to find a way! ”

Several people nodded, and quickly followed Captain Jia, lying on their stomachs in the cold snow.

They have been eating and living together for more than half a year, although there will be some small contradictions on weekdays, but they have already run in a very tacit understanding!

"Huh~~Huh~~"

Under the howling cold wind, they were like five white reptiles, struggling to move forward.

Creeping forward is quite torturous, it is the kind of nutritional conditions in later generations, and ordinary people will be tired and paralyzed even if they do more than 100 meters, not to mention that the six sons have walked fifty or sixty miles before, and they are still in this cold world.

Several people were silent, like robots, moving forward slowly but in an orderly manner.

After more than half an hour, they climbed to the foot of the mountain and quickly hid in the pine forest.

But at this time, each of them had no human color on their faces, and they were all about to become popsicles.

Captain A was also tired and uncomfortable at this time, but this was by no means a place to rest, he looked at the night, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, I'm afraid this is already too late, let's move quickly, otherwise, we won't be able to get down!" ”

How many people could not understand the meaning of the first chief? They all nodded heavily.

After a brief rest, several people quickly began to climb the mountain.

In the old woods in winter, it will kill people.

I don't know the depth of the fallen leaf layer is already terrible, not to mention covering it with a layer of snow, this state can only be a gamble of luck.

After a short period of effort, several people fell and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.

Fortunately, the first captain is very experienced, and he uses ropes to connect them around everyone's waists, so that even if something really happens, there is some room for maneuver.

More than an hour later, when they climbed over two hills in succession, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they could see the situation in the valley on the side of the mountain, they were all a little stunned!

I saw that in the snowflakes flying in the sky, at least hundreds of huge grain and grass stacks were piled up in the middle of the valley, surrounded by a snow wall, and divided into several pieces.

Outside the safe zone on the outskirts of the grain and grass are a continuous stream of tents, surrounded by bright bonfires, and sometimes the men's sneers and the helpless cries of the women.

"Fuck me, these dogs are crumbs!"

Hawkeye couldn't help but spit hard, he was a veteran of Liaodong, how could he not know what this place was for.

The faces of the first chief and the sixth son were not good-looking, and the sixth son said in a low voice: "The first chief, otherwise, let's just give the dog the day to set a big fire and burn it all down!" ”

Chief A shook his head: "It can't be burned, they do a good job of fire prevention, we don't have a chance." Let's go over there and have a look, maybe there's something else to discover! ”

Everyone was a little uncontrollable and scolding, but they soon followed in the footsteps of the first chief.

In this kind of environment, the power of one person is too humble, and if you want to get things done, you must rely on the collective!

Soon, they climbed over a small hill and found a large number of Han Chinese women.

The terrible thing is that many women have no tents, but can only curl up in their huts by the fire like dogs, and spend the night in the wind and snow.

There were even many ragged corpses of women who were hung on wooden shelves for public display!

"Brute!"

"What a bunch of brutes!"

The roots of the six sons' teeth were to be crushed, and they scolded in a low voice.

Even the first captain was a little uncontrollable, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

The Tartar does not die, it is really intolerable!

"That's not right!"

"Over there, what's over there?"

At this moment, Hawkeye suddenly had a clever idea and pointed to another camp next to the women's camp.

A Chang, Liuzi and others hurriedly looked over, and they were soon dumbfounded.

I saw that as the oilcloth covered under several sheds was blown up by the wind, a few swarthy cannon chambers were actually exposed!

Moreover, there was a faint red cloth blown up by the wind.

"This, this is a red-coated cannon! I'm really a dog and a Tartar ancestor of the eighteenth generation! They, they actually got the red-coated cannon! ”

The six sons were really scared away, and they screamed.

The first chief couldn't help but squeeze his thighs hard: "Go, come back quickly!" Hurry back and report to your uncle! ”
