According to Gao Shun's order, all the reconnaissance units of the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade were divided into pieces and searched for the enemy's hidden sentinels in a carpet search twenty miles in front of the army.

Niu Fei is a commander of the reconnaissance detachment of the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade, and he led his brothers quietly through the mountains and forests, eight pairs of vigilant eyes watching every big tree, every shrub, and every rock around him...... They had to be careful, today was only the second day of the expedition, but they had already encountered two enemy sentry sentries, because of carelessness, they lost two brothers, which made Niu Fei, who was the chief, very guilty, and at the same time made this person who had said goodbye to the battlefield for more than three years and almost forgotten how bloody and cruel the battlefield was once again realize the essence of war - killing! To kill or be killed, if you don't want to die, you must insist on staying vigilant for twelve hours a day and always be ready for battle. And when the two brothers who accompanied each other day and night died in battle, there was no need for Niu Fei to say anything, the remaining seven people consciously entered the state, Niu Fei was very happy, although the price was greater, but if it was not for the sacrifice of the two brothers, maybe they would have been moving forward ignorantly, stepping into the encirclement of the enemy army at a certain moment, and then being wiped out.

"What's the length, there's a situation!" One of the soldiers at the front suddenly bent down and whispered.

The people behind him immediately lowered their bodies in alert and hid behind trees and rocks. Niu Fei bent down and walked up slowly, "Erwa, what did you find?" ”

The one named Erwa pointed to a rock and said, "Shi Chang, look at ......."

Niu Fei looked at the situation, only to see a pile of excrement clearly visible under a convex rock, although it was three or four feet away, the tip of the nose could still smell the pungent smell.

Niu Fei immediately realized that there was a problem, the Qinling Mountains and rivers are steep, few people pass through, even if someone passes by, they will walk the plank road that is like a straight road compared to the primitive mountains and forests, and will not stupidly climb over the mountains with no roads at all, not to mention that the Qinling Mountains are now full of clouds in the north and south, who would dare to cross the Qinling Mountains at this time? As for the woodcutter, it is even more impossible, this place has been more than 40 miles deep into the Qinling Mountains, who would be stupid to come here to collect firewood? There is no firewood in Qinling?

Niu Fei looked at the surrounding terrain, this mountain beam is about thirty zhang high, it is not dangerous in terms of the topography of the Qinling Mountains, but under this mountain beam is the plank road, on the mountain beam can monitor every move on the plank road, if the army passes, it is absolutely impossible to escape the eyes of the enemy, the geographical location is very important, no wonder the enemy secret post will choose such a place. Niu Fei carefully checked the clues, searching for possible hiding places, although this mountain beam is not tall and majestic, but the vegetation is lush, throw in a few, dozens of people, just like a drop of water in the sea, if you don't find out the enemy's location, just rush into the search, even if the enemy is blind, ignore them, without ten days and half a month of effort, they can't search the entire mountain beam, obviously they don't have so much time to waste.

Soon, Niu Fei found something unusual, a shrub seemed to have broken traces, and the surrounding branches and leaves seemed to be wilting, Niu Fei pointed to a suspicious point, and said softly: "Everyone be careful, in a group of two, slowly lean up, remember, as long as you find the enemy, be sure to kill it, and never let the enemy escape!" ”

The brothers nodded, and in a moment they were divided into groups, eight people in four groups, and they fanned down and sneaked towards the bush.

Hearing only the sound of a clear green "horn", the eight Yizhou soldiers immediately stopped when they heard the sound, and fell to the ground, their eyes searching for the source of the sound.

"Fuck, what the hell is this place, mosquitoes are as big as moths, and the biting Lao Tzu is itching to death......"

"Okay, it's not the only one who bites you!"

"No, look at my face, my arm, is this a place for people? I don't know what to think above, so let's come to this ghost place where birds don't lay eggs and dogs don't poop. ”

"What's the complaint, I don't want you to talk to the above!"

"I don't have the guts...... Hey, it's itching me, Brother Li, help me scratch it......"

"Scratch your head, I can't stand the itch!"

"Well, what do you think above...... Sizzle...... There's not even a ghost here, what are you spying on? Birds? Alas, every day when you dry steamed buns, you will have cold water, and this day is almost life-threatening......"

……

Niu Fei smiled on his face, the first two times he was plotted by himself, this time he had to take revenge, listening to the voice, there were at least three people on the other side, and there were eight people on his side, so it would not be a problem to take it. After listening for a while and confirming that the other party was not aware of him, Niu Fei waved his hand lightly, and the eight figures slowly moved forward.

Soon, Niu Fei clearly saw a piece of felt on the grass next to a bush, on which lay four men in ordinary clothes, two of them scratched their chests and scratched their backs to relieve their itching, one looked at the avenue under the mountain beam, and the other held a steamed bun in one hand and swallowed the shriveled steamed bun with the water of the water bag, and there were weapons and leather armor scattered next to the four people.

Niu Fei was secretly happy, fortunately, the mosquitoes helped him a big favor, most of the other party's attention was taken up by moths, and the other half was also placed on the plank road, and he didn't think of looking back behind him, otherwise it would be a trivial matter to increase the casualties on his side again, if the other party got away with one and exposed the combat intent, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Niu Fei gently put the sword in his hand on the ground, silently took off the bow and arrow on his back, and the seven brothers did the same, and they all replaced the bow and arrow. Niu Fei pointed to the four enemy soldiers in turn, and then pointed to the four groups of people, including his own group. Everyone immediately understood what Niu Fei meant, and they raised their arrows to aim at their respective targets.

"Shoot the arrows!" Niu Fei broke off with a snort, and eight powerful arrows roared towards the four enemy soldiers who were unconscious.

"Ah......h

One group of men, perhaps because of nervousness, did not hit either arrow, and when the hot blood splashed on the face of an enemy soldier who was tickling, and the three brothers were killed and wounded, he was frightened and scattered, shouting: "Enemy army...... Some enemy soldiers ...... "didn't bother to check on his brother's situation, and he didn't have time to get the weapons and armor at his fingertips, so he got up in embarrassment and fled under the mountain beam."

"Kill him......" Niu Fei shouted, the eight bows were rounded again, only the sound of "whoosh, whoosh" breaking through the air could be heard, the enemy had just escaped less than ten steps, and was shot in the vest by the flying bow and arrow, he was hit by three arrows in a row and fell to the ground after screaming, and the corpse rolled down from the mountain beam, "poof", and fell on the plank road.

Everyone's eyes rolled down the plank road with the corpse, and after no more movement, they turned back and walked towards the enemy soldier who was still screaming with a wounded lung.

A soldier pointed his sword at the enemy and said, "What should I do with this man?" ”

"Kill ......" Niu Fei snorted coldly, his lungs were injured, and in terms of medical methods in this era, it was basically equivalent to being sentenced to death, not to mention that they were shouldering the heavy responsibility of opening the way for the whole brigade, and it was impossible to take a prisoner or an injured prisoner on the road.

"Don't ......" The enemy soldier heard Niu Fei's words and shouted: "Don't general...... I don't want to die...... Please let the general let me go, I surrender, I know a lot of circumstances, as long as the general spares my life, I will explain everything......"

Niu Fei turned his head and said, "Let's do it!" He didn't believe that a scout could know anything important, and that such a greedy person would say anything in order to survive, and if the other party misled him with panicked words, then precious time might be wasted......

The soldier who asked the question did not hesitate and stabbed the sword in the chest.

After a scream of "Ah......hhhh

"Let's rest for a while and see what useful things these people have left behind......"

A quarter of an hour later, the eight set out again.

……

Although Gao Shun's caution wasted some time, it was very necessary, and under the search of the reconnaissance unit of the independent 1st Brigade that was as sharp as an antimony knife, Dong Zhuojun's nearly 20 secret agents were all dug out, and none of them escaped the net. Dong Zhuojun, who lost his eyes and ears, was completely unaware of Liu Zhangjun's actions, and Gao Shun perfectly achieved the suddenness of the attack.
