The soldiers of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army were all marching on horseback, so naturally it was impossible to take the mountain path, and they needed to take the main road in the valley from Qinglan River to Hecha Mountain. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info and from Qinglanchuan here to the vicinity of Hecha Mountain is about 100 miles, so this morning Zhong Hao asked the soldiers of the middle camp to bury the pot early to cook, and hurry up after eating, only in this way can they reach the vicinity of Hecha Mountain before dark.

On the way from Qinglan River to Hecha Mountain, the soldiers of the middle camp were quite excited and relaxed.

This time to exterminate the stone monkey village, the middle camp did not encounter much resistance, so it did not take much effort to exterminate the stone monkey village, and the harvest was quite rich, the soldiers of the middle camp naturally had a high fighting spirit. In their eyes, it is estimated that it will not take much effort to exterminate the Black Wind Village in Hecha Mountain, they are all strong bandits who have not gone through the battle formation, and now the soldiers of the middle battalion really don't pay attention to it, and their self-confidence is very high now.

No matter how I say it, I have also fought with the party members, and I also brought a lot of explosives bags and earth-shaking thunder, so I really don't think it's a big deal to exterminate everyone in Black Wind Village.

However, Zhong Hao and Cui Feng did not dare to be careless.

The Heifeng Village on Hecha Mountain is a bandit village in the green forest of the entire Hedong region. Although Zhong Hao and the others unanimously took Black Wind Village as the next target, it was not too easy to exterminate Black Wind Village, and it was still necessary to sum it up. Therefore, along the way, Zhong Hao, Cui Feng, Yang Huaiyu and others were discussing strategies.

The soldiers of Zhongying rode all the way to the valley between the peaks in the Luliang Mountains. There are not many people living in the mountains of Luliang, and Zhongying only encounters a few small mountain villages along the way. At noon, the soldiers of the middle camp rested and rested near a small mountain temple called Yangshan Temple.

The soldiers marched all the way, and finally before the sun set, they reached a valley not far from Hecha Mountain, and prepared to set up camp.

The camp of the middle camp is set up here, and if you want to enter the Black Wind Village, you need to march on foot for the rest of the distance. Because Hop Cha Mountain is not a single mountain, but is surrounded by mountains, Hop Cha Mountain is just the highest mountain among them. If you want to reach the foot of Hecha Mountain, everyone will need to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads tomorrow to arrive.

Like the camp in Qinglanchuan, this time the war horse was placed in the camp here, and it was left for use in the next transfer.

It is still very important for this camp to be used to protect the war horses. Moreover, this place is not far from Hecha Mountain, and it is necessary to guard against the robbers of Heifeng Village who secretly attack after learning the news. After all, the Zhongying exterminated the Stone Monkey Village first, and the Stone Monkey Village is not far from here, maybe there will be bandits who escaped from the Stone Monkey Village to report to the Black Wind Village. Although those bandits who escaped may not know that the next target of the middle camp is Heifeng Village, but after they report the news, the bandits of Heifeng Village will definitely strengthen their precautions, and maybe there will be spies from Heifeng Village nearby.

Moreover, the small mountain villages encountered by the Zhongying on the march along the way may also have the eyes of the bandits. These small mountain villages are so close to Heifeng Village, if you want to live in peace, you must deal with bandits. When the soldiers of the middle battalion marched through these mountain villages, it was difficult to hide their tracks, and they would inevitably be discovered by the people in the villages. If there is really an eyeliner in these mountain villages, I am afraid that the bandits of Heifeng Village will already know about the arrival of Zhongying by now. Therefore, it is still very important whether the camp is built well or not.

The soldiers did not care about the fatigue of riding all day, and hurried to build the camp before dark. Fortunately, there are mountains all around here, and the trees on the mountains are dense, and they are all ready-made timber used to build a fence, but it saves a lot of effort.

When fighting against the enemy, the camp is well repaired, and it is also an important military skill, so at least the field battle cannot be defeated, and it can be defended according to the fence, which can be regarded as a way out. Therefore, Cui Feng and Yang Huaiyu asked Zhongying to be meticulous in the construction of the camp, and from now on, they must start practicing how to build the camp quickly and well, and when they fight against the Western Xia or Khitan in the future, they will use its benefits sooner or later.

After the camp was set up, the soldiers seized the time to bury the pot and cook, rest early after eating, and march to Heifeng Village early tomorrow morning.

Of course, tonight, in order to guard against a sneak attack by bandits, the sentry posts must still be strengthened, and more must be dispatched.

…………

The night passed quite peacefully, and there were no bandits from Heifeng Village to disturb them. It seems that the bandits of Heifeng Village may not know that the middle camp has arrived nearby.

However, the middle camp could not be careless, Cui Feng sent scouts early to spy in front. The brigade of the middle battalion seized the time to eat, then packed up their equipment and prepared for the march.

It is still the same as the last time to attack the stone monkey village, this time it is still the thirty soldiers who are left in the capital to guard the camp and war horses. This place is not as stable as the Qinglanchuan side, Zhong Hao originally wanted to leave some more soldiers, but considering that the Black Wind Village is not easier to fight than the Stone Monkey Village, he finally decided to leave only thirty soldiers to guard it like last time.

Not only is the number of bandits in Heifeng Village more than that of Stone Monkey Village, but they are all bandits who have accumulated for years, and there are not many soldiers in the middle camp. Although only 30 soldiers remained, the camp was built quite solidly and easily defended, as long as the large group of men and horses left, the gate of the village was closed, and it was easy to have it. Besides, there are all war horses here, and if there is really a dangerous situation, these thirty soldiers will step on the war horses and flee with the horse team. The bandits who occupy the mountains as kings must not have many horses, and they will definitely not be able to catch up.

From the camp to Hecha Mountain, most of them are mountain roads, and the soldiers of the middle battalion are all fully armed, wearing leather armor, carrying guns in their hands, carrying knives at their waists, and carrying riding bows.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the middle battalion used to train in Jingqiang Village when they often practiced, and although the mountain road of more than ten miles was difficult, it was not too much of a problem. However, some warriors with iron armor did not wear armor, dozens of pounds of iron armor were worn on their bodies, and they were too cumbersome when walking, so they used armor bags to load their armor on their backs, and put them on when they met the enemy.

The mountain road leading to Hecha Mountain is difficult to travel, the surrounding mountains and forests are dense, and scouts are widely scattered on the road of the Zhongying march, and many scouts are sent to sentinels on all sides to prevent being ambushed by bandits. Fortunately, it is winter, and the trees in the mountains and forests have all lost their leaves, and the vision is relatively good, and it is not easy for the bandits to ambush the camp.

However, just in case, on the march, Wang San persuaded Zhong Hao to also wear leather armor and a horse chopping knife. Although Zhong Hao didn't want to wear bulky armor, he knew that Wang San was also for his own safety, so it was difficult to refuse, so he had to put it on. Luckily, it's winter, and wearing leather armor is bulky but keeps you warm, which is an added bonus.

The soldiers of the middle camp zigzagged along the mountain road at the foot of several mountains, and walked for seven or eight miles in a row, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and it turned out that there was a valley surrounded by several mountain peaks.

Cui Feng observed the surroundings of the valley, saw that the surrounding woods were not dense, and saw that there was no suspicious situation around, so he ordered everyone to rest in the valley in front of him.

When all the soldiers in the middle camp heard that they could rest for a while, they all cheered up and hurried to the valley in front. Walking on a mountain road with a heavily armed load is completely different from walking on a flat road with an empty body, and although the distance of seven or eight miles is not much difficult for the soldiers of the middle battalion, everyone is eager to stop and take a breath at this time.

When they came to this open valley, all the soldiers sat down according to the formation and rested for a while, drinking water to those who should drink water, and eating to eat something.

Everyone rested for a while, and just after taking a breath, Cui Feng was getting up and wanted to order the soldiers to start the whole team, when he suddenly heard a loud whistle from the mountain next to him. (To be continued.) )
