Outside the city of Zhucheng and Kong Youde's rebels were fighting fiercely, of course, it was not Cao Wenzhao's department, but the new Liao army led by Du Geng, He Zhendong, Bai Zhicheng and others. {〔〈 八((一(〔网 ?〉}.〉8?1]

It turned out that the attack was frustrated yesterday evening, and Mo Li saw that the New Liao Army was blocked by the rebels in this small Fallen Soul Valley, so he discussed countermeasures with Cao Bianjiao, Guan Feng, Ma Jinzhong and other generals.

He Zhendong stood up and said to Mo Li: "General, it's not a way to go on like this, the brothers are blocked here, and no matter how many people there are, there is no place for them, it is better to let the last general take a few thousand brothers around Gu'an Town and take him by surprise!" ”

Mo Li nodded and said, "No matter how many troops are left here, it will not be useful, it is better for you and Brother Du to lead the troops to detour to Gu'an, and let's divide the troops and attack together, and advance into the city!" ”

Cao Bianjiao wanted to personally lead his troops to make a detour, but was stopped by Mo Li: "Xiao Cao, you are now the commander of the army, and there are eunuchs in the army, so it is not appropriate to personally lead the troops to attack at night." ”

Cao Bianjiao thought of Lu Hanzhang and several other eunuchs, and immediately dispelled this idea.

So, Du Geng, He Zhendong, Bai Zhicheng, Jiang Dacheng and others led 15,000 troops, bypassed Taojiazhuang overnight, and went straight to Gu'an in the southwest.

As Chen sometimes led troops to reinforcements, the fighting between the two sides became more intense, with casualties on both sides.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Li decided to temporarily withdraw his troops, anyway, tomorrow Du Geng and He Zhendong led their troops to advance from Gu'an, and under the attack on both sides, they would definitely be able to defeat the rebels. Chen sometimes and Mu Xiaoshan were also happy to collect their troops and rest for one night.

At the moment, both sides withdrew their troops. Mo Li, Cao Bianjiao and others withdrew the forward troops and camped on a hillside ten miles away from the Valley of Falling Souls.

Since the strength of the New Liao Army was nearly 20,000 horses, Chen Shi and Mu Xiaoshan did not dare to attack the camp, their task was to hold the Valley of Fallen Souls and prevent the New Liao Army from entering Zhucheng.

Nothing happened overnight.

On the Zhucheng side, Kong Youde attacked for a day, but still did not take Zhucheng, but paid nearly 2,000 casualties, so he also died down.

Du Geng, He Zhendong and others led more than 10,000 soldiers to attack overnight, and when they arrived at Gu'an Town, it was almost dawn. The soldiers rested in the woods outside the town, let the horses feed the forage, recover their strength, and the people also replenished their food.

There are still fifteen or sixteen miles away from Zhucheng here, it is one of the three roads leading from Zhucheng to the outside world, and the other is the route of the rebels going south, the official road from Lingshanwei to Zhucheng, this road is the route of the rebels' march, and the officers and soldiers along the way either surrendered or fled, so don't worry about it anymore.

At the east end of Gu'an Town, less than ten miles away from Zhucheng, there was a hillside with complicated terrain, and Kong Youde also sent a rebel army of 3,000 people to garrison it here to prevent the official army from coming to help.

However, since it was close to dawn at this time, it was the weakest time of the day, and most of the rebels were asleep, and only a small number of sentries were also drowsy with swords and guns.

In charge of defense in Gu'an was the rebel general Hu Sanfu, a Xiangma Ling who had been active in the Qingzhou area, but because he was surrounded and suppressed by the official army, he had been hiding in Tibet and was in an embarrassing situation. After Kong Youde rebelled, Hu Sanfu led four or five hundred of his men to defect to Kong Youde, wanting to use Kong Youde's strength to fight against the official army.

Kong Youde was also generous, and at that time he was given a guerrilla official position, and later because of his relatively brave performance in the attack on Dengzhou, he was promoted to a general.

Although Hu Sanfu is brave in battle, but he is also greedy, especially the wine, since following Kong Youde's rebellion, along the way by Hu Sanfu was captured and plundered by the people's daughters who do not know how much, it is said that after a hundred, most of them are Hu Sanfu enjoyed, and then distributed to his subordinates to share, so that Hu Sanfu is famous for lewdness among the rebels.

After Kong Youde learned about it, he wanted to warn Hu Sanfu to be more restrained, but when he thought that Hu was also very brave in battle, he turned a blind eye later.

Since the rebels had only arrived in Zhucheng for two days, Hu Sanfu thought that it was unlikely that the official army would be able to send reinforcements to aid Zhucheng so quickly, especially since this Gu'an was mostly mountainous to the west, and the road was rugged, and the imperial court sent reinforcements, and it was estimated that there were not many people who took this road, so they didn't take the defense of Gu'an too much, and openly ate, drank and had fun in the barracks.

No, this will be Hu Sanfu sleeping with two rich women who had just been captured from the surrounding towns of Zhucheng yesterday. Hu Sanfu, who was half-drunk last night, was so happy that he didn't feel tired at the time when he was one against two, but after he was done, he collapsed on the bed like a dead pig and fell asleep.

In fact, this Hu Sanfu is really a careless person, if those two women have some guts, under the humiliation, it is too easy to kill Hu Sanfu to take revenge at this time.

But maybe they were too timid and stupid, and they didn't even kill chickens, let alone people, or they were afraid of the wolf-like rebel soldiers outside, knowing that they couldn't escape if they killed Hu Sanfu, so they didn't dare to do it when they had a good time.

On the periphery of the barracks, six people, including Xiao Liuzi and Siwa, were in charge of sentry, and at this time, a fire was being lit under a sheltered dirt slope to roast around the fire to keep warm. The weather was so cold that it was so cold in the tent, let alone being blown and frozen by the wind and snow under this icy and snowy land.

"Damn, what the hell is this weather, it's so cold! Lao Tzu's toes are numb from the cold! ! Little Liuzi was the head of these six people, and kept pacing his feet while roasting the fire, and moved closer to the fire.

"Six, let alone the toes, I think even that thing is about to freeze!" Siwa patted the snowflakes falling on her head, and quickly rubbed her hands and said.

Xiao Liuzi punched him and said with a smile: "You kid is frozen, I think you clearly saw those two little girls looking tender!" Hahaha......"

"Hahaha...... It's like, those little arms are thin, it's really white......"

"That's right! The general is cool! On this cold day, hugging such a tender little girl to warm the quilt, even if you don't change it for the gods......" Several other people also laughed while wiping their saliva.

"Don't drool here, as long as you fight hard enough, you will have those days in the future!" Xiao Liuzi said.

"Six-headed, I, I haven't touched a woman yet......" Siwa's face was a little red.

Xiao Liuzi looked at him in surprise and asked, "How old are you?" ”

"Sixteen."

"Well, it's time for you to try the meat. In this way, if General Ming'er Hu gives a reward to the brothers, if I have a share, I will call you at that time! How about haha......" Xiao Liuzi laughed.

"Thank you Six! Thank you Six! Thank you, thank you......" The four babies were busy thanking each other, and they were so excited that they were incoherent, as if they had hugged the white and tender little woman.

"Hahaha, this is called blessing and hardship......"

When a few people were talking lively, a cold low voice came from the cold: "That's right! Indeed, you will have to share the difficulties! ”

Xiao Liuzi and the others were taken aback, and before they could react, suddenly a burst of arrows came from the ground, and the two rebel soldiers next to them were instantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly shouted: "There is a situation! Everyone, ...... quickly" Before he could say the word, a sharp arrow shot and hit him in the heart, Xiao Liuzi only felt a sharp pain, and then lost consciousness.

At this time, I saw that on the edge of the woods in front of me, dozens of black shadows were holding bows and arrows, and they were constantly opening their bows and arrows, shooting towards this outpost of the rebels.

After learning that there were 3,000 rebels stationed on this hillside, Du Geng and He Zhendong decided to send this special scout squad to sneak over to solve the rebels' sentry posts first, and then the army suddenly attacked, the rebels would not notice, so that they could kill the rebels by surprise.

The Special Scout Brigade was formed only after Mo Li defeated the Jiannu Tartars in Dalinghe City. On that day, Liang Peijun was held hostage by Wu Xiang, and once forced Mo Li to be very passive. Afterwards, Mo Li thought about imitating the ** teams in later generations to create a special force to carry out some difficult and arduous tasks.

For example, executing operations, stealing enemy intelligence secrets, rescuing hostages, dealing with emergencies, etc., all require a special force with strong adaptability to complete.

For this reason, after the Jin soldiers retreated, Mo Li immediately began to set up a special reconnaissance brigade, and named it the "Snow Eagle" brigade, which was initially customized to 80 people, temporarily organized into two squads, and selected some flexible and agile elite soldiers from each battalion.

When it comes to special forces training, Mo Li is no stranger, in later generations, many more conventional and common training methods are not a secret, Mo Li, as a military enthusiast, naturally also knows a lot of ways, so many items of special forces training are taught by Mo Li himself.

But not long after, there was a rebellion by Kong Youde in Wuqiao, and Mo Li was also ordered to go south to quell the rebellion, and the training of special forces was handed over to He Zhendong to continue to be responsible.

This time, Cao Bianjiao went south to Shandong, and the Snow Eagle Special Scout Brigade also followed He Zhendong on the expedition. When the troops were divided yesterday, He Zhendong also left half of the scouts to Mo Li in case of emergency.

It was Fang Jingbo, the deputy captain of the Snow Eagle Brigade and the leader of the first team, who led this team to solve the rebel sentry, a young man in his twenties from Hebei. This is the battle of the Snow Eagle, and we must play the prestige of a special scout, otherwise how can we be worthy of the general's earnest teachings.
