Chapter 461 Encounter

"Chen Xiaolai,." After Liu Yong earnestly instructed a sergeant dressed in the uniform of the guard camp, he ran leisurely to drink tea and read a book. This is also one of the advantages of taking an airship to and fro, when in the air, basically these guards who are usually tense at any time can sleep well, for the time being, there is nothing that can threaten them. In the process of smooth and quiet flight, Ye Tao is relatively busy, and he always has something to do. When the work of bringing the airship is done, he should put his mind to planning for the future. In the two days that he was on the airship, Ye Tao needed orderlies, not guards. And this time, this soldier named Chen Xiaolai took on this mission with honor.

Chen Xiaolai didn't know that being an orderly for Ye Tao was the most boring job in the guard battalion, and he was usually only assigned to a newcomer like him to do it, because he was able to serve Ye Tao all the way, and his face flushed with excitement. Chen Xiaolai originally joined the Invalids Battalion at the Fifth Invalids Farm, and the Invalids Battalion was not yet the main battle battalion sequence, and the last time he sent soldiers to the various departments, he was favored by the archery battalion of Jingyun Cavalry because of his excellent archery skills and riding and archery skills, and became one of the only two percent of the Han soldiers in that battalion. Subsequently, he was selected by the Guards Cavalry Battalion because of his excellent training performance and good physical appearance, and after a few months, because Ye Tao's guard team was officially upgraded to the guard battalion, he was selected again in the process of expansion. This step by step is like a dream. And the friends who joined the Invalids Camp at the same time as him, not to mention how much they envy him now. Being able to enter the guard camp means that whether it is appearance, figure, physical fitness, combat skills, queue drills, and most importantly, Yunzhou's loyalty to Ye Tao can withstand the test. Not to mention that the soldiers of the guard battalion are well paid every month, and it is easier for the family to tell them about their daughter-in-law than the soldiers of other units. But for these young people who were born in Yunzhou and have enjoyed the peaceful and prosperous days of Yunzhou for many years, the most important thing is that they finally have the opportunity to serve Ye Tao.

In Chen Xiaolai's arms, he always carried the manual that was handed out to every soldier when he just entered the Invalides Camp. The full name of the manual is "The Sergeant Points Manual of the Headquarters of the Northern Xinjiang Economic and Strategic Mansion", according to the instructions of the commanders, this is used to record the contribution of each soldier to Yunzhou, what they have done, how well they have done, there will be an evaluation, and if they have comments and suggestions on the Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy and any subordinate institutions, they can put forward. In addition to the page numbers used to record scores, the main content of the manual is to introduce the concept of Yunzhou governance and the requirements for the soldiers. And the most demagogic thing about Chen Xiaolai is that the title page of each book is printed, and the book in the hands of both soldiers and officials is exactly the same words: "We advocate a career of focusing on a lifetime, and we admire the free-spirited soul." This sentence has inspired many people, and now, it is encouraging Chen Xiaolai.

Chen Xiaolai was not particularly keen on places like the guard battalion, he preferred to serve in those main battle battalions, and having had the experience of the Jingyun Cavalry Cavalry Battalion, the more he longed for the battlefield. And he knew very well that the guard battalion was just a transition in his army. When Chen Xiaolai entered the guard camp, he was told that he would stay in the guard camp for a year and a half at most, and then he would return to those units in several states under the Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy as a low-level officer as a grassroots non-commissioned officer. This is also just one aspect of northern Xinjiang's preparations for war. The guard battalion is a force that is difficult for anyone else to peep into, except for the sergeants who take turns guarding Ye Tao and his family, the rest of the guard battalion is training in Yejiabao, and Yejiabao is in place from the inside, and there is no unreliable person. Even the miscellaneous servants in the mansion, many of them are people from the original inner government, the Dai family in Yunzhou, recommended by the old man Qi, and introduced by Liu Yong. In the past, the spies of Xiling and Northern Liao had thought about infiltrating it, but they all gave up after a while. When the old man in his sixties who looked sick in the porter was a quasi-first-class master, and the young man in the branch office of the Messenger Bureau was able to fight left and right and receive two telegrams at the same time, this kind of local commission was really not a target to try.

"Someone is coming, ......" Ye Tao's call made Chen Xiaolai come back to his senses from his reverie. He hurriedly pushed open the door to the cabin. "My lord, what do you command?"

"Go to the next stop and send these emails. And here are a couple of telegrams. "On the airship, the lighting is absolutely sufficient, and there is bright sunlight outside, but Ye Tao's cabin is full of all kinds of documents and files, which makes the atmosphere a little depressing. Chen Xiaolai took the stack of documents and said seriously, "Yes, my lord." I will definitely do it for you. ”

"Thank you," Ye Tao nodded. Suddenly, the airship shook violently, and the things that Chen Xiaolai had just taken in his hand were scattered on the ground. And the next moment, Liu Yong had already rushed out of the cabin and came to Ye Tao's side.

"Pilot, what's going on?" Ye Tao asked at the brass of the sound transmission.

"My lord, the snow owl airship that came out of front found that there was a battle ahead, and notified us to take emergency avoidance." A muffled voice came from the microphone.

"Go over and see, don't turn, get ready for battle." Ye Tao commanded steadily.

It's true that protecting Ye Tao is the first priority in this line, but there is really nothing that can threaten Ye Tao's air ship, and now they are flying at a very low altitude, which is indeed within the range of some archers, but these airships are not balloons that can burst in one shot. The pilots and signalmen carried out the order, and the entire formation adjusted back to its original course and slowly rose a little.

Seeing that Chen Xiaolai had already cleaned up all the documents in one place and put them in class, Liu Yong sighed and asked, "Chen Xiaolai, these documents can't be mistaken, it's a big trouble to be wrong." ”

Chen Xiaolai said calmly: "That's right, that piece of paper fell out of that clip, and you can see it clearly." If Chen Xiaolai knew that Ye Tao and Liu Yong were using their brains at this moment, whether they wanted to get him to work in the clerical field, he would definitely regret showing himself so confidently. But the next moment, he received Liu Yong's order: "Pack up the documents and prepare for battle." It's time to play something mysterious. ”

Chen Xiaolai suppressed his excitement and responded, "Yes." ”

Ye Tao and Liu Yong walked into the cabin in front of them, wanting to see through the treetops to see the situation below. Not far ahead, there was indeed a skirmish. Both sides were dressed in civilian clothes, and they were the kind of merchants who transported important goods, with merchants, small officials, and bodyguards. But this small battle is fierce and dangerous.

"One side should be from the Western Route Army. Look at how they use their knives...... Hehe, why is the Western Route Army so bold and dares to run our territory? My lord, next time you have to knock on that kid from Gao Senqi. Liu Yong said very easily.

"Uncle Liu, help me put on my armor." Ye Tao looked at the situation below, there were almost five hundred people on both sides combined, which was very spectacular, and his heart was a little budding.

"Okay." Liu Yong shrugged his shoulders, now the airship vertical projection of troops is already a very mature technology, it was originally demonstrated by Ye Tao to the airship team, and Ye Tao's temperament is not the kind of casual adventure with a hot brain, plus the guards of these big masters, if they want to activate their muscles, there is no problem.

When the airship team accelerated directly from the rear of the Western Route Army with rocket propulsion, the officers and men of the Western Route Army began to be a little confused. Originally, they had an absolute advantage, but the loss position was a little unbearable, and the risk of going deep into Dongping and Yunzhou had already made them a little nervous. And now, the opponent is coming, and it is directly the Snow Owl airship that has only seen sketches in intelligence.

The airship dived, slowed down, and then the ropes hung down, and the guards, as well as Liu Yong and Ye Tao, slid down the ropes. Immediately, an assault was launched from the flank and rear of the Western Route Army. Although the one who went deep into Yunzhou was undoubtedly the best in the Western Route Army, he was equally vulnerable in front of Liu Yong and the other guards. Chen Xiaolai carried two bags of arrows on his back, wore archer armor, and had a light arc blade inserted in his waist, he actually fought at the forefront, his rate of fire was very fast, and the point of archery was also very ruthless, and most of the soldiers of the Western Route Army were knocked down before they rushed in front of him. A soldier of the Western Route Army pounced on Chen Xiaolai, a killing machine, from the top of the tree, but was blown away by Liu Yong, who caught up from the side. When he saw Liu Yong, a burly middle-aged man shouted, "Quick, retreat north...... This is Ye Tao's guard! ”

The name of the guards further and more shocked the soldiers of the Western Route Army, and under the impact of the guards, their retreat also seemed a little chaotic. Ye Tao is like a fish in water in this kind of chaotic drama, the armor he wears is meticulous in protection, and when the enemy is in a hurry, he is even more powerless to cut on his body, which soon makes Ye Tao experience the pleasure of "movement". However, after all, these airborne troops did not have horses, and some soldiers of the Western Route Army scattered and fled.

"Snow owl airships, one archer per ship, search and kill separately. Yunzhou No. 1, go to the nearest mooring station, notify all places, and conduct a search. Fast! Ye Tao shouted at Yunzhou No. 1, which had landed on the ground.

"Yunzhou No. 1?" The group that looked like the caravan that had been rescued had collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, but when they heard the name of Yunzhou No. 1, a bearded old man, despite the knife wound on his arm, almost rolled in front of them. "Lord Ye is here? Where is Lord Ye? ”
