On the vast grassland, a lone army of 3,000 people rode horses and galloped, the fall of Kaiping Mansion, and all kinds of bestiality made by the Tartars, completely ignited the fire in the hearts of the soldiers, with hatred and anger in their eyes, like a moth that has no hesitation to put out the fire, and did not hesitate to burn themselves, in exchange for the same death with the Tartars.

The morale of the soldiers had reached its peak, and the silent march was only heard by the whirring wind and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves.

Xiao Fan's body was half-knouched on the horse's back, the reins in his hand were loosened, and the horse was allowed to gallop on the vast grassland.

At this moment, his heart was very calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water that could not be rippled at all.

The soldiers need to be impulsive, they need blood, and they need morale, but as the commander of an army, he needs to be extremely sober and calm at this time, if he is also carried away by blood and anger like the soldiers, then he will personally send these 3,000 soldiers, including himself, into the ghost gate.

It's not far from the Tartars, what can I think of to lead the Tartar army to Shanhaiguan?

The fierce wind mixed with sand and dust, hitting his face painfully, Xiao Fan squinted his eyes, looking at the endless horizon in front of him, but his mind was running rapidly.

There must be a way! Lao Tzu has pit so many people from time travel to the present, how can he not think of a way to face the mortal enemy of our Han people? There must be a way!

The wind on the grassland was very cold, and Xiao Fan's face was distorted, but his forehead was slightly sweating, and the closer he got from Pingfu, the more anxious his eyes became.

Before he could figure out a solution, the scouts he had sent out to find out the way forward had returned.

More than fifty miles ahead, the scouts discovered the rangers on the periphery of the Tartar army from a distance, in other words, Xiao Fan and they finally found the 50,000 army of the Tartars after more than a dozen days of rapid marching!

Xiao Fan's face suddenly became solemn. He realized that the first battle of his life was about to begin.

Excitement, excitement, fear, uneasiness, all kinds of emotions came to his heart at once, and he had a moment of distraction.

"My lord, the Tartars are camped fifty miles ahead, how to decide, please show me." A thousand-household general stepped out of the crowd and hugged his fists heavily.

"My lord, my subordinates, please fight!" Not to be outdone, several other thousands of households gathered around Xiao Fan to ask for their lives.

Xiao Fan was stunned, but there was a blank look in his eyes, as if he was deaf to the high-pitched and passionate invitation of the generals, and a pair of godless eyes stared blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Xiao Fan's expression, Cao Yi naturally understood in his heart that he hadn't come up with a practical way until now, so Cao Yi glared at each other, and reprimanded the thousands of households around him who were asking for war: "What kind of war, please?" Bird War, Please! How are you going to fight? Did you lead your sons and daughters to rush and kill the 50,000 Tartar army? 3,000 against 50,000 people, before they get close to their camp, they will be killed by the Tartars, we have been walking for so many days, and we have come all the way here, just to commit suicide? It's just stupid! ”

Although Cao Yi's identity is also Jinyiwei's thousand households, his gold content of this thousand households is obviously much higher than that of other thousand households, and he is also the commander of Xiao Fan's eight friends, and now he is the second biggest man in Jinyiwei, second only to Xiao Fan in high power, and everyone will be reprimanded by him, and they all bow their heads and are silent.

Xiao Fan still looked distracted, staring blankly ahead.

Cao Yi and the generals knew that he was thinking of countermeasures, but they didn't dare to disturb him, the team of three thousand people was so quiet that they didn't hear a sound, only the cold wind was whistling around, and the atmosphere was extremely silent.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Fan sighed dejectedly, finally came back to his senses, waved his hand weakly at everyone, and said: "All dismount, rest and eat on the spot, this place is very close to the Tartar army, everyone will just take a moment, eat some dried meat casually, and it is strictly forbidden to light a fire, so as not to be discovered by the rangers on the periphery of the Tartars." ”

"Yes!" Everyone dismounted according to the words, sat cross-legged, took out the beef and mutton roasted after robbing the small tribes of the grassland these days, and ate it with the water in the skin bag.

Xiao Fan got off the horse, silently walked to a secluded hill and lay down, the afternoon sun was a little harsh and dazzling, Xiao Fan squinted, looked up at the blue sky, and tore off a grass stalk and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

Cao Yi also left the team, walked to Xiao Fan's side and sat down, looked at Xiao Fan's sad appearance, and said with relief: "Brother Xiao, don't worry about being like this, let's go to the grassland this time, it is a dead-end errand, no one of us has ever thought of going back alive, the only thing I want is to kill a few more Tartars before we die, and fulfill our loyalty to Daming, that is." ”

Xiao Fan sighed and said: "Brother Cao, I won't hide it from you, I am afraid of death, it is because I am afraid of death, so I don't want to die, not only do I not want to die myself, but I also don't want the three thousand brothers who came with me to die, if I really order the brothers to rush towards the Tartar army, then what am I worried about?" Everyone fought to the death, slashed and killed a few Tartars, and then wanted the dead birds to the sky, and those who could escape fled to Shanhaiguan to lead the Tartar army over, wouldn't our task be easily completed? ”

Cao Yi sighed: "There is really no way, and it can only be like this...... The soldiers are the ones who eat this bowl of severed rice, and they will inevitably die on the battlefield, and the brothers all understand this truth. ”

Xiao Fan said categorically: "No! This is not the result I wanted! ”

"And what do you want?"

"I brought out 3,000 people, and I will try to bring them back as completely as possible!"

Cao Yi was stunned: "This ...... How can it be? This is a war! How could there be no casualties? ”

"Then I will also minimize the casualties, so that the brothers will follow me in vain!"

Cao Yi smiled bitterly: "Three thousand against fifty thousand, you still want to minimize the casualties?" It's thankful that the army is not completely annihilated......"

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "So I have to think of a perfect way!" Do you see my face? It's full of tangles and egg pains......"

Cao Yi's face was also distorted, and he sighed: "Unless all our soldiers can be invisible, so that the Tartars can't see and kill ......"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "The technology you said, no one will be able to invent it in six hundred years......

Before the words fell, Xiao Fan suddenly felt a flash of spiritual light in his mind, and the whole person immediately froze, staring blankly and blankly ahead, as if he had been struck by lightning, and was speechless for a long time.

Cao Yi was frightened by his appearance, and said worriedly: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Fan was stunned for a long time and muttered, "Invisibility? …… Does disguise count as a form of stealth? ”

Inspiration is like a flood that has opened the floodgates, an unstoppable outpouring of water, and for a while, many thoughts and unique terms from previous lives have all come to mind.

A vague outline of action gradually took shape in his mind, and then became clear and detailed...... After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Fan suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay! That's it! ”

Cao Yi couldn't help but rejoice when he saw this: "Have you come up with an idea?" ”

Xiao Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Have you heard of special forces operations?" ”

Cao Yi was dumbfounded: "...... What does it mean? ”

Xiao Fan didn't care whether he understood it or not, he still said excitedly: "Special forces first originated in Germany before World War II, ......"

"Wait a minute! My brain is so messy! Cao Yi interrupted him, and said with a sad face in a very unconfident tone: "...... What kind of war was World War II? What kind of country is Germany? ”

Xiao Fan was suddenly shocked and sneered: "With your ability to understand, it is difficult for me to explain it to you, but it doesn't matter, do you know what the special forces do?" ”

Cao Yi shook his head quickly.

"Special forces refer to small units with capable personnel, fast mobility, and strong individual combat effectiveness, which are used to carry out special tasks such as raiding and sabotage, assassination and kidnapping, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, and stealing intelligence......"

Xiao Fan talked endlessly for a long time, but when he looked up, he saw Cao Yi looking demented, and immediately lowered his head in frustration, and briefly summarized his new ideas that transcended the times in one sentence.

“…… In short, the special forces are very good. ”

Cao Yi smiled with relief: "As soon as you say awesome, I know it, it must be very sharp......"

Xiao Fan: "............"

- I don't understand anything and laugh so easily, this kind of person is really enviable.............................. "What are the characteristics of the Mongols' warfare?" Xiao Fan asked very seriously.

"Brave, fierce, and very powerful." Cao Yi, who had fought with the Tartars for many years, said without hesitation.

"What else?"

"Horses are the battle, as fast as the wind......"

"What else?"

"Long at charging on the plains, weak at siege battles."

Xiao Fan said: "Actually, you said so much, which means that they rely on a drum of strength to fight, and as soon as the war starts, they pay attention to the word 'fast', with enough courage and insufficient resourcefulness......"

Cao Yi thought for a while and said, "Not bad." ”

Xiao Fan said leisurely: "In other words, they don't have brains, or their brain capacity is relatively small......"

Cao Yi was speechless: "............"

Xiao Fan said solemnly: "We must strategically despise the enemy. ”

Cao Yi immediately nodded: "Yes, they really don't have brains." ”

"So, we might as well make an assumption, on the premise that we don't expose our traces, if you are the Tartar Lord General Ghost Lichi, would you have thought that a small group of Ming troops would unknowingly touch their camp at this time?"

Cao Yi was taken aback: "So you came up with this idea?" This...... How is it possible to touch it? ”

"You don't care about this for now, you tell me, if you were a ghost power, would you think of this?"

Cao Yi pondered: "The 50,000 Tartar army took Yumuchuan and Kaiping Mansion in a row, the battle went smoothly, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and now is the time when morale is high and there is nothing left to spare, and they also know that they have an advantage in the battle with the Ming army on the grassland, and they definitely do not expect that the Ming army will dare to sneak into their camp when they are victorious." ”

Xiao Fan smiled: "What they can't think of is the blind spot of thinking, so we will make full use of this blind spot." ”

Cao Yi was puzzled: "How are you going to get into their camp?" The Tartars are very particular about camping, the standing sentry outside the camp, that is, the Mongols say 'Aljin Chi', the front of the gate is arranged to explore the horse red, the left and right sides are arranged to fall off the red, that is, the patrol cavalry, and then there is the left wing, the right wing, the left army, the right army, the most central position is their handsome tent, such a strict camp, how can we get in? ”

Xiao Fan rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Since you have a clue, you will always come up with a way, Brother Cao, now you have to do one thing, pick out one or twenty brothers with the best skills and the most clever minds in our team of three thousand people, and it is best to understand a few words of Mongolian." ”

Cao Yi smiled lightly: "This is too easy, our three thousand people are your Qincha honor guard, all of them are carefully selected masters in the palace and our Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division, many of them were born in Ningxia, Yulin and other border places, and they have known some simple Mongolian language since childhood. ”

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, these twenty people are the key to our operation this time, and we must choose them well." ”

At that moment, Cao Yi turned around, gathered all the soldiers, and then recruited the highest skilled and proficient Mongolian speakers in every hundred households, and the time of the two pillars of incense passed, Cao Yi quickly selected twenty skilled and highly skilled sergeants, one by one, standing in front of Xiao Fan energetically, trying to raise his head and chest, his eyes were full of vigorous fighting spirit.

Xiao Fan couldn't help but nodded, looking at the refined colors of these people, he knew that their skills were very unusual, just like what was written in the martial arts book, they were handsome and restrained, but regrettably...... "Why aren't your temples bulging high?" Xiao Fan was puzzled.

Soldiers: "............"

Cao Yi tugged at his sleeve with black lines on his head: "...... Don't be ashamed, the temples are bulging high, it's a tumor! ”

Xiao Fan smiled awkwardly: "............"

All the soldiers clasped their fists together, and their fighting spirit was high: "Please give an order!" ”

Xiao Fan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" It's afternoon, and the first thing you have to do now is ......"

The crowd pricked up their ears.

“…… Go to bed! ”

An afternoon passed, and while the twenty soldiers were sleeping to replenish their spirits, the scouts in front kept coming with information.

After the Tartars set up camp, they sent sentry horses to patrol around, and the range of activities was within a radius of twenty miles around the camp, and the farthest sentry horse actually reached out for thirty miles, and what was even more hateful was that this sentry horse was thirty miles away and randomly fired arrows into the hills and dense grass, and a scout was unlucky, and was shot in the thigh by them while lying in the grass, and immediately bled nonstop, but fortunately, the injured scout understood that he was in danger, and he must not make a sound, otherwise he would have harmed three thousand brothers, so the scout gritted his teeth, and Leng did not make a sound, It wasn't until the Tartar Sentinel rode to the other side that he was rescued by the robes hidden elsewhere.

Xiao Fan admired it when he heard it, this is simply the ancient version of Qiu Shaoyun.

It was now evening, the prairie was pitch black, the wind was blowing more violently, there was a faint thunder roaring in the sky, and a storm was coming.

After instructing the scout to heal his wounds, Xiao Fan called the twenty soldiers who were sleeping soundly, and then led them to ride their horses to a distance of thirty miles from the Tartar camp, found a raised grassy hill, and sat down with their backs in the direction of the Tartar camp.

"You have a mission ...... now"

"Please command, sir!" The soldiers who had slept well became more and more energetic.

"The Tartar sentry is about a team of five people, patrolling around the camp, your first task is to capture a team of sentry horsemen alive for me, not allowed to startle the snakes, it should be a warm-up before sneaking into the Tartar camp, remember, it is best to have three or four people in a group, two people in each group are responsible for killing the enemy, the other two are responsible for guarding, each group covers each other, alternately attacking......"

Everyone is a master who has been strictly trained in the palace, and they know the art of combined attack in the army, Xiao Fan explained a little about some of the operational characteristics of the special forces, and they immediately understood it.

Cao Yi asked, "What about after capturing the Tartar Sentinel alive?" What's next? ”

Xiao Fan pondered: "The next step is to sneak into the Tartar camp in disguise, the Mongols resumed their grazing life after retreating to the grasslands, they are for the people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime, but there is no unified uniform in the army, which provides us with great convenience, and it is relatively easy for you to blend in......"

"How do you get in?"

Xiao Fan smiled: "Didn't we steal a batch of Mongolian clothes a few days ago? Caused 3,000 of us to be chased for 50 miles by hundreds of shameless naked men......"

Everyone was cold: "............"

Xiao Fan was about to give instructions on the plan of action after sneaking into the camp, when he suddenly noticed the sound of a rope in the high hills behind him.

Before he could react, he felt a sudden rain fall on his head, and soon his hair was wet.

Xiao Fan shook his head and subconsciously touched his head: "It's raining?" Is this rain or hot? ”

Stunned, he turned his head to look up, and in the dark night, a scene that made his eyes tremble appeared in front of him.

I saw a middle-aged man in a Mongolian robe standing on the top of the hill, his pants under the robe had collapsed to his heels, and he was urinating on the top of Xiao Fan's head, who was sitting under the hill. Xu didn't expect that there were dozens of people sitting under the hills, and this Tartar was spreading happily with his eyes closed, and a soak of hot and scratchy urine was impartially poured on Xiao Fan's head.

Xiao Fan was suddenly shocked and angry, quickly stood up, pointed at the tartar and shouted, "! There is annihilation! ”

Before he could give the order, the masters who had come to their senses had already jumped up, and without saying a word, they jumped to the side of the tartar, grabbed him by the collar, and then raised their fists and struck him at the temple.

As soon as the tartar soaked in urine was sprinkled comfortably, he was grabbed by the collar and suddenly startled, and at night he saw that the person who grabbed him was dressed in a short Han dress, and immediately muttered something, and before the words fell, he was punched in the temple and fainted.

The rest of the soldiers also quickly swept to the other side of the hill, and saw that there were four Tartars on horses, talking and laughing leisurely, the soldiers no longer hesitated, flew up, with a kind of lion fighting rabbit momentum, three or four people packed one, and put down the four Tartars in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Fan was frightened, his face was still extremely pale, and when he saw that the Tartars were all put down, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in shock: "There are five of these people, most of them are peripheral sentinels who are patrolling here......"

After a pause, as if thinking of something, Xiao Fan asked, "What did the guy who peed at me just now say before he fainted?" ”

Cao Yi had a straight face, but a smile flashed in his eyes, and said, "He said: '! There is annihilation! ’”

"Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing......"
