A group of men and horses galloped past, and there was already a sea of fire in front of them. After the raging fire, only ashes remained, and the black smoke obscured the afterglow of the setting sun, and at this moment the sky was getting darker, and finding a place to stay was now the top priority and priority.

Lin ordered a soldier behind him to survey the surrounding terrain.

And they rode a tall horse but could not relax at all, although their men and horses are not very many, but this trip did not have any cover-up, burning the dead branches and leaves in front of them exposed their goals, hoping that the enemy did not find out that the probability is slim, and finding their own way to survive is the only criterion for survival.

After a while, the surrounding terrain was already clear

This was originally a wasteland, but over the years, there have been beautiful crops growing here, dense woods, a scene full of life, and a magnificent scene, but, I don't know why, a large number of bandits and rogues suddenly appeared here, specializing in burning, killing and looting, and the court did not send troops to manage, and over time this place was barren. On the left is a small hill with three or two paths stretching along the mountainside, and the path stretches down to the bottom of the mountain, winding and winding for hundreds of miles. The mountains on the right are surrounded, and there are some small Donggou Ridge reputations, because of its mountains, towering, thrilling, mountains and mountains are connected, the veins are connected, the front and back echo, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, bandits are rampant, the army is difficult to manage, the peace is not peaceful, the people are miserable, and those who are a little younger and have a little strength either run away, or go up the mountain to serve the Kou, it can be said that the world is declining, and the people are not happy.

Lin Maolin took the march map and told the generals below that the map had not been drawn for a long time, but it was also clear, and the general direction and direction of the large and small ravines, mountains and forests could be drawn.

Lin Maolin said solemnly: "That's probably it here, the purpose of our trip is to rescue Sun Fanti and others, of course bandits are not our primary consideration, but if the bandits come to attack, we can't let them do whatever they want, so as not to lose the morale of our army." ”

Gong Yuqi looked at the map and lamented: "The people are suffering, I can't wait to lead the army to kill the bandit mountain now, if it weren't for the task now, I would like to try this heavy task of suppressing bandits." ”

Everyone in the audience was gloomy, their heads bowed, but their faces showed exhaustion and haggardness.

Leng Yue chased the wind on the side, nodded silently, and praised Gong Qidudu's concern for the people, but he also silently said nothing for the current situation.

When the army reached a hundred meters and came to a small mound, Lin Maolin ordered: "All brothers, set up camp. ”

Under the order, hundreds of soldiers were busy, a camp tent rose up, a distance of 100 meters, it is not to raise one or two guard towers, although it is a guard tower, but it is just some simple display, a temporary small shed that can observe the enemy's situation, the shed echoes before and after, as long as you pay a little attention to the situation of another shed, this is also in case of accidents, the march is outside, set up camp to do a good job of defense, ten steps a battalion, a hundred steps a sentry. It is a skill that must be mastered in order to march and fight.

Just when everything was ready, Leng Yue chased the wind to Lin Maolin's camp, took the marching map, and said: "General Lin, I have something important to report, we are on this trip, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck, this area has always been rampant with bandits, we only have a hundred soldiers, and there are more than a thousand bandits on the mountain, if we encounter them in the middle of the night, how can we deal with them." ”

Lin Maolin arched his hand and said: "General Leng, please sit down, the enemy is certainly not to be underestimated, but we also have a way of survival for small people, as long as they don't anger us, they will naturally be safe, and this is the best ending." But if the enemy deliberately comes to attack, of course we won't be captured, General Leng, if it really comes at that time, we still need you to show your fanghua. ”

Leng Yue Chasing the Wind just wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Lin Maolin. "Don't say, needless to say, go back to sleep, sleep is the only way to stay in shape."

Leng Yue Chasing Wind glanced at the marching map, and seemed to know a clue, but then withdrew his gaze, his eyes were cold and resolute, and his steps were heavy.

Soon, after the tents were set up and the food was simply eaten, everyone returned to their posts, sleeping when it was time to sleep, and being on duty when it was time to be on duty, taking turns to keep vigil until late at night

Waves.

At one o'clock in the morning, a group of people sneaked in in the dark night, they were wearing black clothes and black pants, and the weapons in their hands were waved like a dream, like a jaguar in the dark night, and the movements were so fast that if it were not for the generals with their profound skills, it would be difficult to detect their figures for a while.

Three or two figures, in a flash, the sentries and the camp tent fell one by one, and in less than a quarter of an hour, looking at the entire barracks, the several sentry stations arranged on the hill had all become the base in the hands of the enemy.

"It seems that there is a big fish to eat tonight, the war is good, I have never been so happy, brothers, from now on, we will always be the king of this mountain, there is food and drink, at ease, isn't it happy"

A leading bandit leader came to the top of this hill, looked down, as if looking at a flock of lambs, at any time they could have a full meal, as long as they wanted, rushed down and it was over, the color of pride in the eyes of this group of soldiers, unconsciously revealed, like a beast that has obtained its prey, saliva murmuring, full of the majesty of the king, the makeup of the victor.

At this time, the tent of Lin Maolin and others was closed, quiet, without a trace of movement, the cold wind at night knocked on the window, and the eyes of mice and night birds emitted a faint light, the busiest time of the day.

A starlit night sky, white and bright, revealing the remoteness and ghosts of the distant mountains and forests at night.

"Brothers, the tasks arranged above are so simple, maybe we overestimate them. Hahaha"

The bandits who took down several sentry base stations in a row were overjoyed, as if they had forgotten that this was a battlefield, just like individuals wandering around, transmitting information and emotions to each other, flashing figures, presented on the screen in the form of dance, and the fun of plundering was permeated.

"You see, the enemy's base camp is ahead, and it really doesn't take much effort to get there, up."

All the bandits flocked to Lin Maolin's camp, they really came prepared, the purpose was very clear, and they went straight to Lin Maolin's camp, it seems that this group of bandits is not simple.

A bandit had already come to the tent, and the dagger in his right hand had cut through the curtain of the tent, and the "hiss" sound was so clear and audible in this quiet night.

Through the crack in the curtain, the black knife in the black shadow's hand was bright and shiny, without the slightest hesitation, three or two steps came to Lin Maolin's bedside, the black light war knife was raised, and it was chopped down, although there were only two movements, but it was very coherent, so that in the air, there was only the sound of the raised inhalation and the whistling sound of the homeopathic split, the two sounds, the sound was connected, and it was short enough to complete this continuous crown action in the blink of an eye.

"Xiang"

The soldier was stunned, put away the knife, pulled the quilt apart, and when he looked at it, he didn't see any figure except the bed, and his heart was flustered, and his instinctive intuition told him that it was a conspiracy. But it was too late, and an arrow flew through the tent, and before the man in black could react, a bloody light splashed on the tent, staining the entire tent red.

However, at this moment, a figure stood outside the tent, his eyes were like those of an eagle falcon, and he could feel it even more through the moonlight.

The young man held a bow and arrow in his hand, this may be the first time he stood like this with a bow and arrow, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he was forced by the war, he was not cruel and didn't even have the right to live, the form is like this, this is the law of this world, the people because they have no weapons, no combat effectiveness, they have become the bandits' violence, the object of violence, if they don't have any strength, and they don't leave a back hand, they may fall now It is estimated that they are themselves, not only themselves, but even all the soldiers here, They all have to pay with their lives because of their bad decisions. It's frightening every step

A wail began with one of Lin Maolin's bows and arrows.

"There was an ambush among us"

The shouts, struggles and resistance of the enemy filled the entire military camp, and suddenly, the situation turned against the sky, and things went back to the first half of the night, Leng Yue chased the wind with the map, hurriedly pushed the door in, and the two were talking.

Leng Yue Chasing Wind said suspiciously

Said: "General Lin, why do you want to set up camp here and walk a hundred miles, is it because of this dirt hill?"

Lin Maolin nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Yes, but it's all right, although the earth hill has his geographical advantages, but the shortcomings are also very clear, that is, flat on all sides, if we meet the enemy at night, we may not be able to succeed even if we go all out, the terrain of the hill is the highest here, if it is captured by the enemy, then the camp will be isolated, everyone here will become a turtle in the urn in the eyes of the enemy, there is no life at all, and the camp is the place where the enemy must capture, we can also take advantage of this psychology, Of course, the camp tent is an ordinary camp tent, but it can not live in people, all the soldiers and generals, all live under the bushes paved with makeshift hair, but this is a great test of the soldiers' perseverance, at night, the poisonous snakes and beasts are most active at night, only the mighty people who exceed the perseverance of ordinary people can take on this heavy responsibility, which is also the most effective way to test an army. ”

In Leng Yue's admiring gaze, the corners of his mouth revealed a respectful tone, and said: "General Lin is really wise and powerful, and it is really my luck to be under the command of General Lin." ”

Lin Maolin stared at his eyes, not daring to relax for a moment, only he knew that the pressure in this was not something that ordinary people could bear, and a slight move of his own might put himself and the army in a situation of no return, countless variables filled the battlefield, and any mistake could lead to a 180-degree reversal of the battle situation.

Lin Maolin said modestly: "I am humble, and the success of the plan depends on you." ”

And this is, in addition to Leng Yue chasing the wind, Gong Yuqi, Xiao Qi and Xiao San are also on the side, they all bow their hands to Lin Maolin, and say in unison: "Please General Lin command." ”

Lin Maolin stuck his spear on the ground, took a bow and arrow, raised his backhand above his head, and said: "Tonight will be a massacre, the arrows will sweep, and the night of blood will be light." The cold moon chases the wind, you hold the hill, and you must not let the enemy occupy the mountain. Xiao Qi, Xiao San, you lie in ambush on the first guard tower two hundred meters away, let the enemy in, and do not expose the target. Gong Yuqi, you lead fifty soldiers with me to wait for the rabbit by this tent. ”

The sound of killing was everywhere, and the moonlight was soaring into the sky.

A bandit leader in the distance shouted, exclaiming: "It's not good, the enemy is afraid that there has been an ambush for a long time, and the rest of the people will follow me into it, capture Lin Maolin alive, and avenge the brothers." ”

Just inside the battlefield, the unilateral cover-up ended this small wave of war, but it angered the main force of the bandits.

Xiao Qi and Xiao San, slaughtered the remnants of the fleeing soldiers, and the enemy's large army had come to them, a charging horn sounded, the enemy rode fast horses, brandished swords to kill, and soon came to their side, three or two soldiers fell down, their faces overflowed with blood, and the weapons in their hands were not exhausted.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi shouted loudly: "It's not good, a large number of bandits are coming, third brother, you take people to leave first, and I will catch up with you later." ”

Looking at Xiao Qi holding a knife to kill the general, Xiao San and the others I killed the last enemy, looking at the black press, full of enemy figures, the soldiers behind them made the final preparations for a fight to the death, the weapons in their hands were very tight, this dark night passed quickly, from midnight to early morning, Xiao San came to Gong Yuqi's body with the support of two brothers, his eyes were solemn and ruddy, his body was scarred, and he knelt on the ground and couldn't cry anymore, "Big brother, Xiao Qi is dead." ”

This news is like five thunderbolts, touching every nerve of Gong Yuzaki, slightly trembling hands, even the bow and arrow are powerless to pick up, this is out of the power of feelings, although it is invisible, but it affects a person all the time, this is, the collapse of emotion, the slipping bow and arrow, the arrow feather fell, and rolled down into the ditch on the side, and Gong Yuqi knelt on the ground, crying heartbreakingly.

Of the more than ten people who followed him to move the rescue soldiers, there were only two or three people beside him. They looked at each other, a quarter of an hour of silence, and the grief was long before it passed.

Looking at the corpses of the enemy all over the ground, Lin Maolin was not happy at all, there were hundreds of bandits charging in the distance, sad people, optimistic and cheerful people, people with ambitions, they were all silent, the cruelty of war is engraved on the wall of everyone's hearts.
