There is a mountain forest near this stone gate, although it is in Ulzhou, but because it is too far away from the state capital, Xiao Yi did not ask people to cut down trees, and the mountains and forests here are not used, but it will make it better for the night to collect better sentinel reconnaissance.

At this time, the mountain forest was quiet, if you don't look carefully, no one will notice, just around these big trees are quietly lying a few people, one of them is a strong man with a stubble on his face is looking around the plain outside.

They were dressed in ordinary coarse linen jackets, which were covered with mud and bulging inside, and their faces were covered with stains.

These people wear worn felt hats on their heads, this kind of felt hat is a commonly used warm type in the north of the Ming Dynasty, which makes people think that they are ordinary hunters in the mountains and forests at a glance, but the occasional flash of light in their eyes, as well as the faint light in their clothes, will make people feel that these people are not simple.

The strong man did not move, they crawled here quietly for a long time, and no one passed by, at this time the strong man slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the collar of his coat inadvertently turned outward, revealing the solid iron armor leaf inside.

He said, "It seems that those rogues haven't arrived here yet. ”

Another person beside him stretched his body a little and said, "I heard that not long ago, these rogues passed by the stone gate, and they coerced a lot of ordinary people. ”

Another frowned and said, "Are the people just following the rogue and making trouble?" ”

At first, the strong man whispered: "Then what can I do, these rogues call themselves righteous soldiers, but what they do is all done by bandits, they have taken away cattle and sheep, burned houses, lost land, and those who have no food and clothing are waiting to die, let you meet you and don't follow them?" ”

One of them nodded, "Yes." ”

He suddenly rejoiced again: "It's good that I followed the adult, otherwise I don't know what kind of life I want to live." ”

Several people nodded in agreement, and the strong man suddenly whispered, "Don't move!" ”

The four people behind them immediately lay motionless on the ground, and after a while, they heard a commotion outside, and a group of ragged people passed in front of them.

Many of the men carried a tattered banner on their shoulders, and they could not see what was painted on it, but they were all dressed in tatters, and only the man riding the horse in the front was better dressed.

He rode a fast horse, and his body was covered with leather armor, and he was covered with white clothes, and he held a machete in his hand, and he was pulling a woman behind the horse.

The woman's face was covered with wind and frost, her original pink and white beautiful clothes were already in tatters, and her face was completely numb and desperate.

Although she has been forced to this step, the woman still shows a completely different temperament from the rogue around her, and it should be where the ladies have been robbed out.

He proudly led the 'rebel army' of about 100 people on his horse, and rushed over from the front of five people, but no one noticed the few people who were close at hand, which showed that their vigilance had been reduced to the minimum.

After the gang passed by, the original strong man's eyes were full of anger, and he rubbed his hands and said, "I didn't want to meet a big fish when I came out." ”

The person behind him was also angry, and asked, "Lai Wuchang, what are we going to do?" ”

These five people are the top three sergeants of the Yong'an Army's night sentry team, and the one who is called Lai Wu Chang is Lai Damao, one of the two army commanders in this armor.

Speaking of this Lai Damao, he is Xiao Yi's second expansion of the old army, he has experienced the battles in Tujiagou, Xiaowutai Mountain, Qijiazhuang and other places, and the Taiyuan Mansion also went to the reinforcement, which can be regarded as a long-term battle.

Because of his bravery, he was also appreciated by Liu Sheng, the deputy commander of the team, but he lacked some opportunities, and he was always responsible for the supervision and training of recruits in the armor and daily sentinels.

Lai Damao's eyes flashed, his stubble kept shaking, and he said viciously: "It's hard to catch it once, but you can't just go back empty-handed, those people who passed just now should be the Liukou, and the person who started the first I heard Deputy Commander Liu say that it should be the old camp in the Liukou." ”

He whispered: "Let's follow quietly, and when they are resting, knock on it from behind, find a chance to catch the old battalion, if you can't win, listen to my old mao, cut off the head and run!" ”

After listening to Lai Damao's words, the four people behind him were all excited, but one of them hesitated: "Lai Wuchang, these people are estimated to be not a hundred or dozens, are they really up?" ”

Lai Damao looked at the recruit and said, "Why can't you get on, we have two horses alone, we can't win or run?" Take the head of the old battalion and run! ”

He gritted his teeth: "As for that woman, leave it to me!" ”

These four did not accept the order of the commander Wang Dayong to come out to sentry, at this time they had been wandering around outside for most of the day, and they did not see the shadow of the rogue, the recruits wanted to make meritorious service, Lai Damao wanted to make meritorious service, and after listening to Lai Damao's words, several people were bold.

"It's done!"

They slowly crawled back from outside the forest, turned back to find their respective horses, compared to the beginning, the Yong'an army in the night is already very well-equipped, originally one person and one horse, because the last time captured a lot of horses and mules, Xiao also selected a fast horse to charge into the night army, now one person and two horses.

However, there are many horses, but it is more troublesome to feed, Xiao also sent the horses to them, and they need to come by themselves to feed, and they need to come by themselves to feed them.

After feeding the horses, the five of them turned over and got on the horses, wrapped their hooves in thick cloth, and followed down the forest.

These rogues swaggered and did not hide their tracks, and even feared that no one would see them, and it was too easy to keep up with them.

Soon, everyone followed to the edge of the forest, and Lai Damao said softly: "Stop for a while, and wait until they cross the slope before chasing after it, so as not to startle the snake and make them run away." ”

A few people nodded, five people dealt with dozens of people, they didn't see their panic, but they were all excited, and the scimitars on their waists were mapped on everyone's faces, revealing a full murderous aura.

After waiting for a long time, these people went down the hillside in a hurry, and one of them said, "They went down." ”

Lai Damao drew his scimitar, snorted coldly, and said: "Very good, the next thing is their death, the downhill is in our favor, rush downhill with the fastest horsepower, brothers, kill the thief." ”

There were a few 'magnetic' sounds of the waist knife coming out of the sheath, and the four nights followed one after another, drawing their scimitars, whispering to kill the thief, and moving swiftly on the horse, and the horse rushed towards the hillside.

These rogues are noisily heading down the dirt slope, and among them are the coerced people, as well as the bandits and mountain bandits everywhere.

The old battalion soldier laughed, suddenly stopped his horse, pulled the thick rope a little tighter, and tried to pull the woman behind him, but the woman suddenly became frightened and tried her best to block it.

"You, you don't, don't!"

Blood spilled from her weak wrists, but she was still brought to the old battalion soldier by the rope.

The old battalion soldier touched the woman's face with his big hand, but the woman did not have the demeanor of a young lady at this time, and spit directly towards the old battalion.

The woman's behavior made the surrounding rogues laugh more than once, and naturally there were also people who ridiculed the old battalion, the old battalion soldiers have always been the center of the rogues, and the old camp felt that his face was damaged by a woman in front of everyone.

Enraged, he wiped the saliva from his face and lifted the machete.

Pointing at the woman, he scolded: "Stinky girl, do you think you are a lady?" ”

The woman was already desperate, but when she heard the words of the old camp, she was not afraid at all, she just sneered and looked at this rogue.

For such a beautiful woman, Lao Ying actually couldn't bear it, he thought that he would immediately beg for mercy when he lifted the machete, but at this time, it made it difficult for him to ride a tiger, and those homeless people still looked at it, if he forgot it like this, he would have no prestige.

Seeing that the machete of the old camp was about to fall, a loud shout suddenly came from the rear.

"Spit it out well, spit it out for me Lao Mao!" (To be continued.) )
