"Driving~"

"Sigh Rule~"

Outside the gate of the Huaizi Battalion, Xie Ping'an, Zhuo Shaoyun and other twenty horsemen walked out of the camp majestically, and everyone had a strong enthusiasm on their faces.

Since there was equestrian training every afternoon in the battalion, horseback riding was no longer a problem for these Forces nouvelles soldiers for several months.

Walking ten miles outside the barracks, Xie Ping'an looked at the snowflakes falling in the air, and said to the people behind him: "Speed up your journey, strive to reach Python Mountain before dark, and annihilate all the thieves entrenched there, this opportunity is rare, whether we can get ahead depends on this time!" ”

"Good!"

The eighteen Xunshan soldiers who followed Xie Ping'an and Zhuo Shaoyun shouted in unison and galloped towards Python Mountain again.

After about half an hour, a group of twenty people finally arrived near Python Mountain, at this time the wind and snow had gradually become stronger, in order to prevent being discovered by the sentry of the thieves entrenched here, they all got off their horses and hid behind a huge rock to discuss the next plan.

"Shaoyun, don't panic, you will follow the eldest brother later, and the eldest brother will take you to make a big contribution!"

After all, the first time he received the task, he wanted to use his twenty horsemen to sweep away the more than sixty thieves of the Qiang clan who were entrenched here, and Xie Ping'an was afraid that Zhuo Shaoyun would retreat from the battle, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

However, Zhuo Shaoyun did not show any frightened looks, but was surprisingly calm, constantly deducing the scene of the outbreak of war and the fastest way to break the enemy in his mind, and the black lance in his hand was getting tighter and tighter.

"Although the number of Hu people is three times that of us, judging from the information on the letter, whether it is equipment or the level of exercise, it can never be compared with the regular army of our Huaizi Battalion!" Xie Ping'an and the surrounding dozen people analyzed the situation, "And the terrain here is not suitable for cavalry combat, Hu Nu is equivalent to losing a sharp weapon, and our Xunshan twenty people have each undergone strict drills, and the foot combat is definitely much stronger than them, so that the enemy's advantage is not at all, and the rest is to fight in formation, which is precisely the essence of our army......"

After Xie Ping'an's reasonable analysis, everyone felt that what he said was reasonable, and nodded yes again and again.

"Big brother......" Zhuo Shaoyun thought for a while and said, "I think this snow will get bigger and bigger, why don't we take advantage of the wind and snow to send someone to touch the nest of the thieves in Python Mountain, first, we can find out the enemy's situation, and second, we can find an opportunity to cut off the head of the thief, to chill the enemy's courage, and then release the letter cannon to kill the enemy camp in one fell swoop, what do you think?" ”

"Brilliant plan!" Xie Ping'an patted Zhuo Shaoyun's shoulder approvingly and said loudly, "Just do as you say, when the wind and snow are stronger, I will personally touch the thief camp......"

Zhuo Shaoyun said: "Big brother, let the little brother go, you stay here to preside over the overall situation." ”

"No way!" Xie Ping'an hurriedly refused, "Let the eldest brother go, you and Wang Wu and a few of them are here waiting for my news......

"Big brother!" Zhuo Shaoyun stretched out his hand to press Xie Ping'an's shoulder, and said to him, "Then let the little brother accompany you, don't forget that you said that you would take me to make meritorious service together!" ”

Xie Ping'an was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhuo Shaoyun's resolute and handsome face, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, you and my brother will go together, and then we will enter the lair and follow the eldest brother, and then kill the bandit leader and cast a signal, and then kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhuo Shaoyun responded, and then said to the other eighteen people behind him, "Brothers, outside of Python Mountain, please ask you to take a break for my two brothers, and wait for my brother's signal." ”

The eighteen Xunshan soldiers nodded, and then began to prepare for themselves.

After another hour or so, the sky completely darkened, and the wind and snow were indeed as Zhuo Shaoyun said.

Zhuo Shaoyun and Xie Ping'an each took a sip of the wine distributed by the military camp, and after swallowing the last bite of cake in their hands, after feeling a little warmer in their bodies, they touched into the python mountain under the cover of darkness and wind and snow.

……

At this moment, in the Python Mountain bandits' nest, the leader of the Qiang bandits entrenched here, Abule, was sitting in the cowhide tent, tearing off a freshly roasted leg of mutton, putting it to his mouth and gnawing it fiercely, chewing constantly. Dozens of people of the same clan below also drank wine and ate meat, and for a while, a bunch of nonsense was like a wild ** stream.

"Alas~" After a long time, Abul sighed after gnawing half of the leg of mutton, "I didn't expect that more than 30,000 people of my clan have become such a miserable situation now, those damn Zhou people, damn Jingwei camp, I vow to break their corpses into thousands of pieces to avenge my people." ”

When everyone in the tent heard this, they also stopped chewing and sighed together, recalling that in less than a year since Liu Ce won the title of southern Hebei, his own people lived a hellish life, and they survived under the butcher's knife of the Jizhou army every day.

After Liu Ce pacified southern Hebei, he implemented an iron-fisted policy against the Hu tribes entrenched here, which had no rhetoric, only two simple and crude but extremely bloody realities: obedience or extermination.

In less than a year, almost all the alien tribes that did not accept Liu Ce's rule were ravaged by the troops under Liu Ce's command, and more than 20 large and small alien tribes have been completely wiped out, and their own tribes are also on the verge of extinction.

Under the repeated blows of the Jizhou army, the scattered places were broken and exterminated one by one, and the captured men were all pulled to work as coolies, and the women were treated a little better, so they entered the sewing field to work, and now the large tribe of tens of thousands of people is only left in the situation of less than 100 people, and they have received due retribution for the crimes committed against the people of Jizhou in the past.

"What's going on this winter?" One of them, a hideous-looking man with yellow teeth, said in Hu in frustration, "There is not much food, there are not enough cotton clothes and quilts for the winter, and there are no women on whom the tribe depends, why are we in such a situation?" ”

"It's all to blame on the herdsmen and the Wu people who raised their cousins!" On the opposite side, a blind Hu man of the Qian tribe scolded viciously, "It's really despicable to defect to that group of Zhou people, if it weren't for them, would Liu Ce have forced us into such a situation?"

Look at the past year, the blood of the warriors of all tribes is about to run dry, but the Zhou people are getting stronger and stronger, even a small manor is guarded by nearly a hundred armored soldiers, and even looking for our traces everywhere, and the accomplices are the herdsmen and the Wu people......"

"Alright, let's talk less!" Abule waved his hand irritably, "Wait for a few days, the weather will improve, go down the mountain to see if there is a chance to loot some food, and grab some women to extinguish the fire, I haven't opened meat for two months, and it's really uncomfortable to hold back!" ”

When everyone heard Abul say that, the evil fire suddenly surged, and when they thought of the delicate faces and delicate skin of those Central Plains women, each crotch was uncomfortable, but now the women of Zhou Guo are not as easy to arrest as they were last year.

Not only the women of the Central Plains, even those women of different races are also difficult to capture, and the strict means of guarding against the enemy of the Security Department have never even given themselves a chance to get close.
