Chapter 3: The Horror of the Village (Part I)

The army marched south, and thirteen,000 sons marched in an orderly manner.

A hundred cavalry looked around the generals who were moving forward, and from time to time scouts returned, reporting the position ahead, this was the largest force that the Xie family Bingzhuang could send, all of them were carefully selected loyal and brave men.

Xie Yu divided the 13,000 people into thirteen battalions and appointed thirteen captains, most of whom were familiar people selected from the Xie tribe, and Ma Wenbiao also became one of them.

Xie Ju was appointed deputy general and commanded the whole army on his behalf.

The calf was appointed chief of scouts.

Zhou Tao became a pro-soldier.

The shelf must be erected first, and there will be a complete system of army prototypes, and in combination with the experience of their own later generations, these soldiers will definitely be trained into tigers and wolves.

It was getting dark, and the army marched to a village and set up camp, the scouts had reconnoitred it half an hour ago, and the whole village was lifeless and empty, full of collapsed houses and messes, and occasionally a few wild dogs came out and barked at the crowd, Xie Ju glared angrily, and they were so frightened that they immediately fled with their tails between their legs.

Countless pots and stoves were filled with rising flames, Xie Yu dismounted and called the calf and said, "What did you do before?" ”

The calf straightened his helmet, licked his lower lip and smiled: "My subordinates used to sell salt~"

Oh~ Xie Yu smiled: "It's very clever to do this~ Why did I see you running over recklessly that day." ”

"Hey~ Follow Dadang, follow Pei Lingyun to do things, people have always been afraid of us, thinking that the general is a person from a big clan who transports food, rushes over to scare you, maybe you don't have to fight~"

Xie Yu smiled, this guy is not only clever, but also an opportunist, but this kind of person is easy to get hot-headed, but when the crisis comes, it is indeed the easiest for him to find, it seems that this scout has a good position, that is, with a little training, he can complete the task excellently.

"Calf~"

"Hey, General, you say~"

"Scouts are the most important part of the entire army, and if the news brought by the scouts is incorrect, or they are confused by the other party, then it will bring great losses to the army."

The calf thinks that this is the most serious words he has ever listened to in his life, every word, every sentence in his heart, when joining this army that seems to be a hundred times stronger than the leader's team, that you come to be the scout chief, just like the Buddha's Sanskrit sound makes people full of reverence, full of excitement, the general in front of him, but the famous young master of the Xie family, this is a family that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, must look up, if everyone can enter this family to do things, His own family would be the envy of all, even if you were just a man who swept the floor in the palace, so he had to rack his brains to stay and learn everything that would make the general praise him for his marching skills.

"As a scout, you have to be agile, know how to observe the enemy's every move, be careful and bold, can't let the other party find out, when you bring back the prepared battle report, protect your subordinates, protect yourself, if you are discovered and pursued by the enemy, when you can't run away, you must also let your companions bring news, this point, you must keep your subordinates in mind, understand?"

The calf nodded heavily and said: "Understand~ The general can rest assured, his subordinates will definitely bring good brothers and do a good job as this scout chief~"

"Hmm~" Xie Yu nodded, his eyes were full of trust, so that this man from the grass only felt warm in his heart, but he was really uneasy in his heart, motivating his subordinates, and making him understand that the war report was more important than his life, and it must be instilled, he didn't think about doing everything well from the beginning, and he had to step on his foundation step by step, which required a lot of patience to get it.

After dinner, everyone lay on the spot groggily, and the subordinates found a house in the village to clean it, and Xie Yu and Xie Ju rested here.

Several groups of soldiers patrolled back and forth closely, changing sentry posts every two hours, the moon slowly drew from east to west, the village was shining green, I don't know what kind of wild beast was wandering outside, the frightened horses were cramped and restless, and the soldiers in charge of caring for them hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them.

A pair of six-man patrolling soldiers walked cautiously outside the village with torches and observed.

"Suddenly~" A white shadow flashed in the forest in the distance, and the head of the Wu Chang waved his hand to stop the team and whispered: "What is ahead?" ”

The soldiers who followed quickly threw the torches with all their might, and a ball of fire flickered into the distance.

"Suddenly~" Everyone saw it clearly, as if a figure in white clothes flashed in the flickering light and shadow, and suddenly frightened a few timid people to sit on the ground and said in horror: "Ghost, ghost." ”

Wu has been killing for a long time, and there are not more than ten souls who have been overtaken under his hands, but there are dozens, and he kicked those soldiers up and said sharply: "Damn, are you full of murderous energy, afraid of a ghost?" The ghost is afraid of us, let's take a look in the past, in case the bandits pretend to be ghosts and let the officials know, wouldn't they look down on us, and they will still be in the army in the future~. ”

Someone took the head, everyone's minds stabilized, followed Wu Chang slowly walked towards the torch, came to the side, several people held torches high and shone around, the surrounding black pressure, except for unknown insects crawling around on the ground, nothing was found, Wu Chang spat and said: "Damn, what kind of feelings are wild dogs and wild cats"

Before the words were finished, everyone's mouths were wide open, and I saw a person in a white mourning dress standing ten steps away with his head hanging down, his head covered with long hair, and his feet fluttered, and some terrible "ah~ah" sound came out, and someone peed his pants when he landed.

Wu Chang was still bold, and he took out his waist knife and shouted: "Who pretends to be a ghost in broad daylight, be careful that grandpa cuts off the guy you eat." ”

The white shadow laughed "hey, hey, hey", and the person who heard the voice was chilled, goosebumps instantly rose all over the body, and the soldiers gathered together and shook the torches wildly.

The head with long hair wrapped in a low bow slowly lifted up, "Ah~" Wu Chang's hand waving the knife felt stiff, where is this person, it is clearly a ghost, I only see facial features, bah ~ mother, there are no facial features at all, four bottomless black holes are impressively on the skull face, and what is even more frightening is that a foot-long big centipede crawled out of the white-toothed Sensen's mouth, just like the tongue of this wild ghost, grinning there.

"Mom~" Several people immediately collapsed, and they ran towards the village, shouting as they ran: "Ghost, ghost~"

This shouting suddenly spread in the various battalions, and the commander of the army reported to the captain with a pale face only to know that not only one of them had seen it, but also the teams patrolling in all directions had seen it, and at this time people were convinced of this ghost and god, especially in this deserted village, for fear of disturbing the souls of the dead here, some people found something to burn and burned it, kowtowing to the west, and saying words begging for forgiveness.

Just when the lieutenants reprimanded their subordinates for spreading rumors, there was a sneer of "quack quack" in the four fields of black rumbling, the sound was flickering near and far, and countless people in mourning clothes floated in the air at the edge of the village, no one dared to believe it, and even some timid soldiers actually threw down their weapons and fled.

Xie Yu heard the commotion outside in the small house, and he was just about to practice when he was interrupted by Xie Ju who knocked on the door, hearing this, he picked up the fire dragon gun and walked out, came to the camp where he was stationed to take a look, drank ~ the burning things all over the ground, and the soldiers knelt down and worshipped, some of the captains, Qu Chang came forward, and said with a frightened expression: "General, this place is unknown, it must be the tragic death of the whole village in the war, these lonely souls and wild ghosts think that we are the ones who killed them, and they want to ask for their lives." ”

Xie Yu raised his eyes to see the person in white floating in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly, he really didn't believe that there was such a thing, someone must have set up a mechanism here to scare people in the past, after a long time, let the people around here know that this is a ghost village, no one dares to come, just like when the case was handled before, there was a guy in the village who pretended to be a ghost and stole things and was found and killed.

Seeing that so many people around him were convinced, he couldn't help but turn back to Xie Ju happily: "Are you afraid of ghosts?" ”

Xie Ju laughed and said, "Young Master, it's not bragging, there really isn't any ghost who dares to come to me." ”

Xie Yu picked up the red gun and said, "Go, follow me to catch ghosts." ”

Hearing that the general was going to catch ghosts, several subordinates came up and persuaded: "General, don't believe it, don't go." ”

"Hahahaha" Xie Yule's tears were about to come out, patted the other party's shoulder and said: "Look, General Ben will catch the ghost in a while, so that you can open your eyes." ”

After that, he walked towards the outside of the village, Xie Ju and Ma Wenbiao hurriedly followed, and several brave people followed behind, and went to catch ghosts.
