Guo Yi returned home and led a horse, rode out of the west gate, and Xu An had already led the soldiers and horses to line up.

Although it was only given to Guo Yi's own soldiers, these five hundred good soldiers were all soldiers who were rotated from the front line, and even if they were placed in the entire Beiyan Province, they could be regarded as one of the best.

"My lord, except for those who guard the yamen, everyone who can come has arrived, a total of four hundred and thirty people." Xu An said, but saw Guo Yi hastily tied a bandage on his right wrist.

"Liu Pu borrowed soldiers and horses, and it will be there in a while."

"My lord, the wound on my hand ......" Xu An spoke, and he saw that the bandage on Guo Yi's wrist was already oozing some blood.

"Don't get in the way, come back and deal with it."

As the two spoke, they saw a line of smoke and dust rising in the direction of the camp in the west of the city, and when the smoke and dust were near, they found that it was a group of cavalry in black armor, the armor system was different from that of the Anxi army, but the color was similar.

"Black Wolf Army." Xu An said.

This black wolf army is the most elite army in Datong City, the soldiers in it are all experienced in a hundred battles, the leader of the black wolf army wears black armor, few people know his name, the entire Datong City, he recognizes Zhao Pu as his father-in-law, the entire Datong City, only Zhao Pu can order him, even Ma Dahai, and he can't give orders to him.

"Mr. Guo?" One person broke away from the team and rushed to Guo Yi, his face was covered with black armor, and the deep and shallow scars on the armor did not know how many, revealing a hideousness. Perhaps because of the armor, he spoke with an urn sound.

"Yes, but under the command of Mr. Liu, I dare to ask your name." Guo Yi clasped his fists on the horse and saluted.

After confirming Guo Yi's identity, the big man with black armor on his face no longer paid attention to Guo Yi's question, looked at the subordinates who were approaching behind him, and said, "General Guo, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he rode away, leading the army behind him past Guo Yi and the hundreds of sergeants of the Anxi Army. The Black Wolf Monarch soldiers who followed the leader and crossed the Anxi Army did not have a sideways look at the Anxi Army.

"This person is too blind to no one!" Xu An was upset for Guo Yi and said angrily.

"As long as you lend us troops, it's already a great help." Immediately, Guo Yi pulled the reins of the horse, rode a horse and led the soldiers of the Anxi Army to the west with the large army.

The cavalry ranks of several thousand men were immense, and the smoke and dust raised could be seen for several kilometers. But no one spoke, and in the dusk, it all looked like ghost soldiers who borrowed the way.

To the west of the city, several villages were clustered together, adding up to a few thousand border residents. The grain for the winter has just been harvested in the past few days, and the arrival of the Jin soldiers is not abrupt, such a thing, after all, happens every year.

Guo Yi has been the chief soldier of Datong for more than a month, and he has personally experienced the plundering of the Jin soldiers three times. Although the behavior of the Jin soldiers this year is a little strange, at this moment, Guo Yi, Liu Pu, and even the Yuhuzi who is sitting in the main city of Yan do not doubt the news that more than 1,000 Jin soldiers are moving on the border.

The village that had been targeted in the news was now comfortably sheltered in the slanting sun, and the thatched roof looked somewhat bleak in the cold wind. The village is quiet, except for the occasional wisp or two of cooking smoke. It looks peaceful.

However, in the mountain pass behind the village, scavenging birds rose and fell, and occasionally a crow flew by, and a crystal ball hung from its blood-colored beak, which brought it back to its nest and fed it to a few fledgling chicks, and when you looked closely, it turned out to be an eyeball! In that mountain pass, there were layers of naked corpses, and the blood that flowed stained the land.

The night was dark, and the team led by Guo Yi came to the periphery of those villages, which were only two or three miles away from the villages.

"My lord, something is wrong." Xu An felt creepy, why didn't there be any movement along the way.

"It stands to reason that the scouts of the Jin Kingdom will be ambushed more or less, and we are surprising that we have not encountered any of them." It was the big man in black armor who spoke.

Guo Yi stared at the village with firelight flashing in the distance and did not speak.

"Could it be that we arrived one step ahead of Jinguo?" Xu An asked.

The black-armored man snorted coldly, full of disdain and ridicule.

"Our army has confronted the Jin State for decades, and it was not the Jin State that took the lead." Guo Yi explained to Xu An. Xu An originally wanted to have a seizure, but after listening to Guo Yi's explanation, he quieted down.

In order to rush at night, the team behind Guo Yi lit torches early, although this undoubtedly exposed themselves to Jin Guo's field of vision, but if the intelligence was correct, Guo Yi believed that Jin Guo would not take the initiative to attack.

"Everyone, put out the torches." Guo Yi passed the order behind him, but only the torches in the small group of the Anxi Army were extinguished.

Seeing this, Guo Yi spoke to the black-armored man again: "General, please let them extinguish their torches." ”

The black-armored man listened to Guo Yi's words, raised his hand, and waved. The once bright wilderness suddenly went dark.

Guo Yi continued to observe in the dark, and there seemed to be no problem with the peaceful village, and he could even see that several families had turned off their lights, and the farmhouses had sunrise and sunset, presumably resting with the lights out.

"What do you say, Mr. Guo?" The black-armored man asked.

"What does the general think?" Guo Yi didn't know the name of this black-armored man, so he could only call him a general.

The black-armored man said in a low voice: "I'm afraid this village is a trap, and those thatched huts are probably full of heavily armed Jin troops." He looked at Guo Yi's eyes, and from Guo Yi's bland eyes after listening to the words, he understood that Guo Yi coincided with his conjecture.

"I don't know why we're in the shadows, but we're probably surrounded by now." Guo Yi smiled, finally no longer a little calm. Although his voice was low, Xu An heard it.

"We had to rush through the village, all the way west, back from Yinzhou. The way to come must have been cut off. "Yinzhou is the nearest pass to the west of Datong, because of its remote location and lack of resources, even the people of Jinguo don't have the idea of fighting Yinzhou City.

"What if there are still people in the village?"

"They must all be dead, maybe the corpses are being stuffed under the bed by the Jin people at this moment." The black-armored man's voice was steady, not in the slightest bit unscathed by this terrible conjecture.

Guo Yi thought for a moment and said, "I still want to confirm, it may be that we are just smart." ”

"General Guo," the black-armored man's voice actually brought a hint of a smile, "Although you are a fierce general, you don't know the people of the Jin Kingdom. The black-armored man was amused by Guo Yi, a general who easily judged that this was a trap, and still believed that there were living border people in the village.

"The general understands?"

"Of course I know, my name is Shuhumu, and I am from the Jin Kingdom." The black-armored big man, or Shuhu Mu, paused, and said: "Mr. Guo made plans quickly, and when it gets dark, we have to decide quickly whether to fight or run." Shuhumu felt that Guo Yi was smart and stronger than Ma Dahai, so he told Guo Yi his name without any care, and he was not afraid that Guo Yi would know that he was from the Jin Kingdom.

"I'm still going to go into the village and have a look." Guo Yi looked at the glowing eyes under the black armor of Shuhu Mu and said, "If things are really like that, I will send a signal as soon as possible, hoping that General Shuhu will lead the soldiers to break through from the west." ”

"Can you get out of it?" Shuhumu looked at Guo Yi.

"It's hard to say." In the face of an ambushed army, no matter how strong the individual force is, it is like a grasshopper shaking a tree.

"Let's go together, there is more or less a response, I don't want a smart person like you to die here early." Shuhumu looked at the quiet army behind him, his shining eyes were particularly eye-catching in the moonlight, he blew a whistle, like some kind of wild fowl flying in the mountains, and pointed at Xu An, who was stunned.

Although the quiet army did not make a sound, the will condensed in the air made Guo Yi believe that even at this moment, Xu An turned his horse's head and led them to charge towards the unknown number of Jin army ambushed in the shadows, and they would also be fearless to death.

"Is General Shuhu at ease?" Guo Yi asked about handing over the command of the army to Xu An.

"General Guo's generals will never be weak."

Guo Yi dismounted when he heard this, patted Xu An, who was still in a trance because of various stimuli, and said: "After a while, depending on my situation, if I and General Shuhu are attacked in the village, you will rush into the village with a large army, understand?" ”

Xu An nodded.

Shuhumu also dismounted, threw the armor on his body to the ground, and stuck the long knife diagonally into his belt, thinking that his body was strong and he could hide the shape of the knife. He took off his mask, and exposed to the moonlight was a somewhat handsome cheek, which was diametrically opposed to his mask and style.

Guo Yi didn't have the habit of wearing armor, and in order to hide his identity, he even left the long sword on his horse, and only pinned a dagger behind his waist.

In this way, the two of them walked down the trail to the village, walking deep and shallow in the mud after the first snow melted.
