Jianning County, also known as Yizhou County a few years ago, with the development of Nanzhong, Liu Wei changed Yizhou County to Jianning County, the county governed Dianchi, of which Guchang County was the provincial capital of Yunnan Province in later generations, Kunming.

At this time, Dianchi Lake was obviously much more prosperous than Guchang County, but the two places were originally very close to each other, so according to intelligence, Liu Wei seemed to intend to merge Guchang County and Dianchi County as the main economic, cultural and administrative center of the south.

In addition, it is adjacent to Xinggu County and belongs to the border area, so the 30,000 barbarians under the command of the vulture bone are distributed in this area for guard, of which the vulture bone is led by 5,000 barbarians and is stationed in Dianchi County.

"General, according to reliable intelligence, the First Group Army (Li Wenbu) and the Third Group Army (Chen Taobu) of the Huaxia Republic have begun to assemble in Xinggu County, and they may be directly towards Jianning County in a short period of time, please be prepared!" The messenger came to the military camp in Dianchi and told the vulture bones who were making arrangements for the whole training at this moment.

"There are enough people on the border side to patrol, not to mention those treasures, it is impossible for the other party to come over silently. But you just go back and tell Fu Ming, and say that I will guard Dianchi for the empire! The vulture was not in a hurry, and replied slowly.

"Please be cautious, the enemy's firearms and body refining ability are not bad!" Seeing this, the messenger couldn't help but remind.

"Hahaha, now that the rainy season is about to begin, the south is hot and humid not conducive to the play of firearms, not to mention, the jungle is also covering the sky, the other party has just arrived here, and is not familiar with this area, and the initiative is still in our hands!" The vulture waved his hand, indicating that he knew what was going on.

When the messenger heard this, he naturally couldn't continue to say anything, so he could only hurriedly take his leave and go back to resume his life.

Speaking of two ends, Li Wenbu started from Xinggu County, and the troops were divided into four routes, and each army had 5,000 troops, which was about equal to a brigade in later generations, and then the troops were divided into three routes, equivalent to the strength of three regiments, and went directly to Shengxiu County.

Xiniu County of Xinggu County is only 70 miles away from Shengxiu County, but because there are no roads built in the two places, you have to climb over the dense jungle area if you want to get there.

The troops going north this way are under the command of Gao Lan, who is also an old man under Li Yu, who was originally one of the four court pillars of Hebei in history, slightly inferior in martial arts, but also very good in terms of command and strategy.

For the Republic of China, jungle warfare is the most familiar mode of combat, after all, the Republic of China is located in the south, where there are many mountains and forests, and Li Yu was initially ready to be oppressed to fight guerrilla warfare in the south, so the investment in this area is also very large, and in the end, all troops, even generals, have the ability of mountain warfare and guerrilla warfare.

"The jungle ahead is too quiet, be careful, the archers are ready to shoot!" Gao Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered.

The soldiers quickly dispersed, guarding everything around them. Generally speaking, when a large army advances, it will alarm a large number of snakes, insects, rats and ants. This effect will even spread, which is an inevitable result, after all, who made this place so wild.

There was no movement at all not far ahead, which meant that there were no large animals or even birds in the area ahead, which was very abnormal. Generally speaking, either there is a death swamp ahead, where basically all the animals are dead, or it means that there is a force lurking in front of you!

The dense vegetation almost obscures the field of vision, and at this time, it is necessary to listen and activate the senses, and it has become impractical to rely purely on the eyes.

"Shoot!" Suddenly, one of the gang commanders quickly gave an order, and more than a dozen arrows shot out in a certain direction almost immediately, and in a short time a barbarian with arrows all over his body fell.

"Shoot!" More calls came, and the two sides officially began to fight, in the first round of shooting, the enemy had a condescending advantage, but the Gao Lan Department also had the advantage of being outnumbered, fighting each other, and the other party did not have an advantage at all.

In a short time, at least more than 300 barbarians were shot directly, but the others fled in confusion, limited by the terrain of the jungle, so Gao Lanbu could not pursue.

"General, are these local barbarians?" The adjutant general stepped forward and asked, if it was a regular army, there should be a refining body, and the hunting bow would not shoot into the eyes and other vital points, and it would be almost impossible to shoot the opponent in a short distance.

Don't look at the fact that all the soldiers have hunting bows, in fact, this hunting bow is used to shoot wild beasts, and it is also used as a means to contain the opponent. In the end, you have to rely on close combat to kill the other party.

To deal with the enemy in the middle stage of refining, the ordinary hunting bow has no way to cause damage, but if it is replaced with a strong bow of more than three stones, not to mention that it takes a lot of strength to pull it apart, often the bowstring is opened, and the enemy does not know where to escape, and the archers cannot maintain the posture of bending the bow consistently, and the practicality is much worse than that of the hunting bow.

From the inside, it is really not suitable to use bows and arrows or crossbows to fight, but if you ambush and then directly put cold guns or cold arrows, then the effect is outstanding, but they are on the offensive side, and it is not their turn to ambush.

"Not really, look at the weapons in their hands, this is clearly beyond the barbarians' technology! They should be barbarians who have just been naturalized in the Han Empire for a long time, and the sinicization must not have been completed, so naturally there is no extra time for refining.

They are not the main force of the other party, they can only be regarded as sentry posts, but in this way, the other party should also know the news of our arrival, and we must be careful in the next advance! Gao Ran thought about it and replied.

"Whoa!" The officers who gathered around responded one after another.

"Boom!" A roar suddenly came from a short distance away, and at this time, the soldiers who heard this sound naturally did not think that it was the sound of heavenly thunder, especially the accompanying gunsmoke, which was the sound of an explosion at a glance.

"General, there are mines on the ground ahead, and the whole forest is not safe!" In a short time, scouts from the front of the reconnaissance hurriedly returned.

"What's going on over there, are there any casualties?" Gao Ran asked with concern.

"When I was just scouting, a comrade stepped on a mine, but fortunately, our army has anti-mine technology, so there were no casualties, but one of them was scratched by shrapnel from the splash." The scout replied.

"If there are no casualties, mine clearance immediately, even if it is slow, to ensure safety!" Gao Ran nodded and ordered.

"Whoa!" The surrounding soldiers immediately took orders and switched to demining mode.

The mines set up by the Han Empire were not the kind of existence that were buried in the ground, or they were not pure ones. There are some buried in the ground, or there are those that rely on tiny tripwires to trigger explosions, and there are even some that hang directly on trees, and fall directly from trees when they step on the mechanism, exploding in mid-air, and causing damage through fragments.

In this way, the calculation is a thousand precautions, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties among the soldiers, but fortunately, everyone is very dispersed, so there are no too serious casualties, and more than 30 people are killed or injured as a result, and generally speaking, they are still within the acceptable range.

In addition, there are many traditional traps, such as those with a large number of sharp bamboo guns at the bottom of the pit; For example, the trap that falls from the sky with a lot of spikes, or the trap that triggers a trap and suddenly bounces off the ground to assassinate the target.

These still don't have any technical content, and there are a lot of gadgets set up in the trunk like a box, and if you accidentally press or pull the silk thread mechanism next to it, then a large number of poisonous needles will be shot. These poisonous needles were obviously quenched by the sap of the blood-sealed throat tree, and as long as the skin was cut, they would be directly poisoned and killed in a very short time.

The distribution of the organs is very strange, and the distribution range is also very wide. With such a distribution, even Gao Ran couldn't help but wonder, could the other party remember where these traps were? In the end, the corpses of several barbarians were found not far ahead, and they actually triggered the mechanism to die.

At this time, Gao Ran understood that the earliest more than 300 barbarians turned out to be bait from the beginning, luring them into the trap range. Ironically, they followed the enemy after them, and ended up in the trap area.

Fortunately, their own army was experienced, and after sacrificing more than 50 soldiers, they finally opened a road, and at the same time, in the rear, the troops no longer found any traces of traps, in other words, they should have walked out of that dangerous area.

Supposedly, the casualties were not large, only about fifty people died, but the psychological impact on the soldiers there was undoubted. Not to mention that they were still in the jungle now, so even if they knew that there was no trap in front of them, the soldiers couldn't help but be nervous, and carefully guarded their surroundings, for fear that they would accidentally touch the trap.

Gao Ran didn't dare to say whether there were any traps ahead, and it was difficult to say anything, so he could only tell everyone to be careful, and then slow down the speed of advancement. Originally, according to the previous exercises, they were able to advance at least 10 kilometers in the jungle every day, but now it seems that they can advance 5 kilometers, and I am afraid that they will be thankful.

The sound of "boom" came again, but this time it was not a mine, but a shell falling from the sky, and the sound should have been fired by a light mortar, or some kind of mortar.

Not just one shot, the first was just a test, the second was definitely a salvo of several, if not dozens, guns.

"Spread out! Advance! Gao Ran immediately gave the order.

The soldiers rushed forward for the first time, and mines appeared again along the way, but the soldiers still rushed forward without hesitation, and after an hour, they barely reached a plain area.

On the hillside in the distance, a brute soldier asked his comrades next to him, "Are these Han people stupid?" We're a mortar, and they're scared like this! ”

"Let you study hard!" The comrade next to him patted him on the head, "The general said that if the enemy comes out of the minefield, they will become suspicious, and if they are given a shot at this time, they will naturally think that they are in the shelling area, and even think that the beginning of entering the safety zone is within the scope of the shelling, so they have no way to retreat, they can only keep rushing forward." ”

"What do you mean, I don't quite understand!" The brute asked, confused.

"I don't know, that's what the general said!" The comrade next to him replied confidently, and pointed to the front after speaking, "Those Han people are going to be unlucky, we are just scaring them here, but they are desperate to rush forward, and they should be exhausted at this moment." But they didn't know that the flat land was the shelling area we had prepared for them, and they were going to be unlucky! ”

"Haha, they're going to be out of luck!" The barbarian laughed.

"Don't laugh, signal the friendly forces over there immediately!" His comrade patted him on the head and shouted. (To be continued.) )
