……

Just when Hu Qi fled and evacuated in the direction of Huijizhou, Liu Ce entered Wushan Town. Vertex Novel X 23 U OM Back in the Yan Valley, the 2,000 soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion who were sent out by Qin Mo, Sun Cheng, Guo Tao, and Yang Fan, as well as the 400 mountain bandits who were willing to fight in battle, had already been ambushed in the valley, and Zuo Shuo and Huang Hengyun, who were transferred from Yang Kaishan, were also among them......

Two days before the outbreak of the battle in Wushan Town, they had already made a detour to reach the Huiyan Valley, and after inspecting the terrain back and forth several times, they determined that there was indeed no one guarding the road for more than ten miles, and even the Jizhou border at the exit could not see half of the shadow of the Hu people, so they put their minds at ease and began to concentrate on building trap fortifications......

On the top of the valley peak on one side, Qin Mo held a speculum and looked down, and Huang Hengyun and Zuo Shuo stood on the side and watched down the mountain together, and couldn't help but feel palpitations for the "very spicy" of Mr. Qin in front of him......

Qin Mo looked at it for a while and said, "Everyone, how do you see Qin's fortifications?" ”

"Mr. Qin...... You ......" Huang Hengyun looked at the vertical and horizontal valley, one ring after another, and the trap fortifications that were irregular, and he couldn't say half a sentence for a long time.

Zuo Shuo's eyes on the other side were glowing with bloodthirsty light, and he said excitedly to Qin Mo: "Mr. Qin, even if all 20,000 people come here, you have to explain this kind of fortification, right?" ”

At this time, Qin Mo's face did not have the elegant and bold demeanor of the past, but a hideous demeanor on his face: "Hu Lu has been plagued in the Far East for many years, causing the people's families to be ruined and their wives to be separated. ”

When Zuo Shuo and Huang Hengyun heard this, they shuddered in their hearts, and they immediately looked at each other and were relieved, knowing that Qin Mo had an unforgettable hatred for the Hulan people......

After a long time, Qin Mo put down the speculum in front of him and said to the two behind him: "While Hu Nu has not arrived now, I will bother the two of you to go to the valley to inspect it well to see if there are any omissions, so as to make up for it quickly." ”

"Still patrolling?" Huang Hengyun suddenly looked embarrassed, "Mr. Qin, I have carefully checked it several times in the past two days......

Qin Mo said in a deep voice: "Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, if one more Hu slave dies, the people in the Far East will be more stable, if it weren't for the fact that the current strength of my Jingwei Battalion is not strong enough, Mo Zhen wants to drain all the blood of the 90,000 Hu cavalry who went south this time!" ”

Huang Hengyun's face was bitter after hearing this, not that he was lazy and didn't want to go on patrol again, but that there were now terrible life-killing traps everywhere in the Yan Valley that time. In case he accidentally catches the road and hangs up the color or even loses his life, it won't make people laugh off their big teeth, because some of these trap fortifications are supervised by themselves according to Qin Mo's instructions to supervise the cultivation of the group of mountain bandits and soldiers, if there is something like oolong, where to put it?

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Qin Mo thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll go down with you, and take a look at how Sun Cheng and them are preparing by the way......" After speaking, he took Zuo Shuo and Huang Hengyun down the valley peak and walked towards the fortifications in the valley......

In one place in the valley, Sun Cheng and Guo Tao were studying the battle matters after Hu Cai entered the valley, and dozens of mountain bandits on the side, under the guard of their soldiers, carefully repaired and improved the fortifications that were still missing.

Guo Tao said worriedly: "I don't know what the result of the general's battle with Hu Nu in Wushan Town was......"

Sun Cheng said: "Don't worry, I have a lot of confidence in the general, and when those defeated remnants of the cavalry arrive, they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!" ”

Guo Tao nodded, expressed his approval of what Sun Cheng said, and then asked: "But I don't know when Hu Lu will come, I'm a little annoyed to wait......"

Hearing this, Sun Cheng patted the iron helmet on his head and said with a smile: "What? Are you in such a hurry to come over? If you want to make military merits, wait, I think it will be another day or two at the earliest......"

"Alas~" Guo Tao sighed and said softly, "Sun Ying, you're joking, I'm not for military merit, I'm just a little bit missing my family, I can't wait to go back as soon as I kill Hu Nu......"

Sun Chengyi was amused: "I said Xiaotao, it's only been a few days since you left Hanling?" It hasn't been ten days since the start of the expedition, right? Is this homesick? ”

Guo Tao didn't care about Sun Cheng's banter, but said softly: "Ning'er's life is not good, now that I have married her, I should treat her well, before I set out on the expedition, I promised her that I would go back safely, by the way, Ning'er also gave me a peace bag made by himself, Sun Ying, you see ......" Guo Tao took out a blue sachet from his neck, embroidered with a big "An" word, Guo Tao looked at the peace bag, and his eyes were full of tenderness......

Seeing this, Sun Cheng also touched the scene, recalling the reluctant eyes of his own lady before he set out on the expedition, and couldn't help but say: "Who is not, since I became a family, I have a little more worry in my heart, and I have to think about my family all the time, it is different from before, one person just charges into battle, even if he dies, it will be a hundred, and now I really can't do it anymore......"

After a pause, he said: "But I said Xiao Tao, since you want to go back in such a hurry, why don't you apply to the general to stay in Hanling?" It doesn't have to be so risky. ”

Guo Tao replied: "To be honest, Sun Ying, I haven't thought about it, it's just that the general is right, only by resisting the enemy and outside the borders can the lives under his rule be saved from the flames of war, I, Guo Tao, as one of the commanders of the Jingwei Battalion, can I ignore the overall situation for the sake of my children's personal feelings?" What's more, even Wu Zhenying and Chu Zijun took the initiative to ask for war regardless of everything, how can I wait for these robes who were in the same regiment as the general in the past to be willing to be the queen? Fighting here is tantamount to protecting Ning'er and the people of Hanling from rebellion! I, Guo Tao, are naturally duty-bound! ”

"That's a good point!" Sun Cheng admired Guo Tao's courage very much, "My Jingwei battalion has always been a defense against the enemy for thousands of miles, and will never bring the flames of war to the innocent people under his rule!" ”

Then he changed his words again, and smiled at Guo Tao: "Xiao Tao, how offended you were in Wanjiazhuang...... Hey hey ......"

When Guo Tao heard this, he immediately recalled the scene of being provoked and beaten by Sun Cheng that night, and his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, so he said to Sun Cheng unhappily: "If you don't say this, I forgot about it, and when I go back after this battle, I want to have a good discussion with Sun Ying......

"Hahaha......" Sun Chengle said, "Xiao Tao, it's not me talking about you, we may still be half a catty or two taels when it comes to marching and arranging, but when it comes to personal martial arts, among the camp envoys, except for generals and madmen, I really don't want to coax anyone......"

Guo Tao squinted his eyes and said: "Sun Ying, this time is different from the past, I have worked hard for more than a year, and I must get back the field I lost back then......

"Okay, whatever you want, I'll be waiting for you when I get back." Sun Chengman smiled nonchalantly.

"What are you two talking about? So happy? Let me hear it too. At this moment, Yang Fan led several soldiers with dusty faces along the mountain walls on both sides.

When Sun Cheng saw that it was Yang Fan, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Yo, Yang Ying? Come on, come on, sit down. ”

Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't sit down, I still have to supervise the progress of those fortifications." ”

Guo Taoqi said: "What? Isn't it done yet? I remember you finished it yesterday. ”

Yang Fan said: "Don't mention it, I have inspected it again before, and there are still many omissions in many places, so we must hurry up and make up for it before Hu Nu arrives, and strive to make these Hu Nu fold in this ten-mile canyon." ”

Hearing this, Sun Cheng and Guo Tao glanced at each other, and immediately said loudly to the mountain bandits who were repairing the fortifications below: "Hurry up, hurry up, the sun is about to set!" Don't think about eating until you finish before dark! ”

When those mountain bandit laborers heard Sun Cheng shouting, they immediately echoed: "Got it, military master!" Don't worry, we'll do a good job. ”

Among these mountain bandits who work, Luo San is also among them, he is the hardest-working, he just wants to get rid of the identity of this coolie as soon as possible and recover his free body, of course, the most important point, then this Jingwei battalion of the Han Tomb actually dared to take the initiative to go out to fight with Hu Nu, which surprised him.

"This group of military masters really dare to fight against Hu Lu, so good! When I regain my freedom, I will also join this army, and then I will have the opportunity to save Xiuniang......" Luo San secretly swore in his heart, he had also learned from the place where he guarded his soldiers these days as a coolie in Hanling, and the commanders of the Shanzi Battalion and the Huaizi Battalion were also thieves and bandits before, and now they can sit in the position of the head of the first battalion, and they have no chance.

Moreover, this Jingwei battalion clearly stipulates that as long as they are willing to go to war with the army, they will be relieved of their coolie status after returning to stay at their own convenience, and those who are willing to continue to stay and work will be treated as ordinary workers, and those who have a skill will be paid higher, which makes those mountain bandits with less sins can't help but yearn for it. Therefore, many mountain bandits knew that there was a great risk, but they still did not hesitate to sign up for the expedition with the army, not to mention that the food treatment of their expedition this time was far more generous than when they were working as coolies before, at least they could eat enough for a meal, and naturally they had no complaints......

At this time, Qin Mo took Zuo Shuo and Huang Hengyun to inspect the place where Sun Cheng Guo Tao was, and when he saw that the three battalion envoys were there, he immediately stepped forward to greet him: "The three battalion envoys are here?" ”

"I've seen Mr. Qin." As soon as the three of them saw Qin Mo coming, they immediately got up and clasped their fists and saluted. Although he is now higher than Qin Mo in terms of identity and status, in their minds, Qin Mo's status is second only to Liu Ce. In addition, Qin Mo is very kind and bold on weekdays, and he gets along with the various flag camps quite harmoniously, so everyone naturally respects him very much.

"You don't have to be formal." Qin Mo smiled and hugged his fists in return, "Mo Bucai, the general has entrusted him with the important task of setting up an ambush in this valley to give Hu Nu a head-on attack, and the marching array is far inferior to the battalion envoys, and I hope that the generals will help Qin Mou." ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly said: "What Mr. Qin said, we will follow the instructions of the general, and we will carefully obey Mr. and help Mr. Jingwei Battalion win this battle!" ”

"Then Qin Mou has thanked a few generals here for their help first!" Qin Mo bowed deeply to them, and the three of them hurriedly returned the salute, and then began to study the fortifications in front of them.

Yang Fan said: "After repeated inspections in the past few days, traps have been set up at various key points in the valley, and due to the urgency of time, it can only be done at present. ”

Qin Mo nodded: "Mo Gang has made an inspection, these fortifications are enough to make these Hu slaves suffer, now what we should do is to try to improve those traps, try to make up for all the omissions, and try to cause them the most damage." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately said that since they came, they must dye their blades red with enemy blood, which is the only iron law for the Jingwei Battalion to go on the expedition.
