Late at night in the steppe, with and without the moon, are two extremes altogether.

Just this night, on the moonless grassland, the cold wind is blowing, like a ghost crying wolf, reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, terrifying.

At this moment, a group of men in black were riding on horses, galloping westward, wearing black scarves on their heads, blending into the night, but they didn't cover their faces, like the ghosts of the grassland in the middle of the night.

They were about forty men, all of them carrying sharp swords, bulging around their waists, and a short blade, slightly longer than a dagger, and a triangular sharpness on the slings of their calves, which were swarthy and shining like hungry wolves.

The first woman, while riding a horse, opened her mouth and asked the person in front, "Brother Ajun, why don't we cover our faces?" ”

After hearing this, the leader did not look back, and continued to gallop on horseback, saying casually: "We are a night attack, not an assassination, there is no need for that." ”

Then he asked, "Thin Monkey, are the Bear's men ready?" ”

"Ready, I sent my brother to contact both sides at any time, I guess we get there, and his side is about the same."

The answer to him was a lean man who was also galloping on horseback and lagging behind, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, but his eyes were very smart.

This group of people is Zhao Jun, Thin Monkey and Wuxing, as well as the forty selected good players.

Since that day, after Zhao Jun and a few people discussed and decided, everyone began to prepare.

And Zhao Jun also did an urgent assault training for the selected forty people, aiming at Zhou Kuang Xiaocheng, although the ability could not be improved much, but at least it also made them understand what to do, and initially established a sense of tacit understanding.

Moreover, in the past few days, Big Bear and Thin Monkey have begun to gradually transfer the affairs of the horse gang to Zhao Jun.

The young and strong people who can fight now in the horse gang, not counting Zhao Jun, a total of 1,056 people, in addition, there are more than 260 horsemen who are full-time horse breeders.

In the end, there were 2,328 women, children, the disabled, and the elderly who could not go to the battlefield, including more than a dozen blacksmiths, and more than 100 others who knew various crafts.

Of course, most of the logistics materials of the horse gang were purchased from merchants from the Central Plains, and if you count on these craftsmen, they can only respond to emergencies, the number of people is too small, and there are no corresponding tool conditions.

As for the horses of the horse gang, there are now more than 3,000 horses in total, excluding the requisitioned, including foals, **, and wild horses caught in the steppe.

However, the current cavalry is not the mainstream of warfare, but only as a subordinate soldier, and the Qin State dominates the world, so the business of horse gang selling horses is not very good.

The main economic source that the caravan relied on was to take on the task of guarding the merchant travelers, or escort, and as a tour guide, take some princes and nobles to travel to the grassland, and finally use the terrain of Mobei to sell the materials of the grassland and the Xiongnu to earn intermediate profits.

However, then again, although the Wujia Horse Gang is one of the three largest forces in Mobei, it actually does not have much money, and the total public property is only less than 3,000 gold, and the most important reason for this is that Mobei is risky, casualties are heavy, and consumption is naturally large.

It's just that Zhao Jun doesn't have much concept of money, what he cares about is the combat effectiveness of the horse gang.

In the future, this team will be the first soldier and horse to stand in troubled times, and it must strengthen its combat effectiveness and firmly control it in its own hands.

As for how to expand his power, he already had a rough plan in his heart, but the time was not enough.

Along the way, Zhao Jun led his men and horses to gallop westward, and rushed for several days in a row, and finally arrived two miles outside the city of Zhou's family at noon one day.

At this point, they stopped, because as they walked forward, they were easy to be discovered by the people of the Zhou Family's Ma Gang.

Zhao Jun found a col on the back, and ordered everyone to dismount, and then without Zhao Jun's orders, they all lay on the grass and consciously rested and ate dry food.

The people in the caravan, in the vast prairie, can survive, each has practiced a survival skills, they know how to save physical strength, adjust the physical state to save life, the grassland survival ability is very strong.

At this time, Zhao Jun did not rest, and when he got off the horse, he asked the thin monkey: "Monkey, where are the men and horses of the big bear?" ”

After the thin monkey dismounted, he heard Zhao Jun's question, so he replied: "There are many of them, and the speed is slower, but an hour ago, the brother who contacted him came back and said that it was less than seventy miles away from the small town of the Zhou family, and with the speed of a big bear, he would definitely be able to arrive before dark." ”

"Well, that's good." Zhao Jun nodded and said: "After nightfall, we will act, you arrange to leave the three brothers, watch the horses, and answer the big bear, let the big bear attack when he sees the fire, if there is no signal, just wait for us to come back, and adapt to the situation." ”

"Yes." The thin monkey nodded immediately and went to make arrangements.

At this time, Zhao Jun walked to Wuxing and sat down, took out dry food and chewed it, and said to Wuxing: "Xiaoxing, when you act, you have to follow me closely, maybe I can't take care of you, but call me if there is danger." ”

"Well, I will." Wu Xing nodded seriously, and then silently ate the dry food, but secretly swore in his heart, Dad, you are watching from the sky, my daughter is here to avenge you, I will definitely become an eagle on the grassland, and be Brother Ajun's helper, not drag him down.

Soon, it was dark, and the sentry posts on the outskirts of the Zhou family's small town were also evacuated, and the Zhao army was ready to act.

At this time, the defense of the small city of the Zhou family was very lax, even more lax than before, because they all thought that the Wu family was now dead and punished, and the people must be panicked, and it was impossible for anyone to sneak attack them for no reason.

Zhao Jun obviously thought of this, so he only scheduled five days, just to hit him by surprise.

"Except for the three brothers who remained, the others will come with me."

Zhao Jun gave an order, and forty people, including himself, lined up in a long snake team and quickly approached the small city of the Zhou family.

It wasn't until ten zhang away from the city that Zhao Jun asked everyone to stop.

At this time, Zhao Jun took out the map drawn by the thin monkey, looked at the map of the Zhou family's small town, and after looking at it, the time for changing the guard and the division of troops described above pondered for a moment.

"Go, follow me."

According to observation and analysis, Zhao Jun led people to quickly go around to a defensive corner of the small city of the Zhou family, and then clinged to the city wall.

"Wait."

Zhao Jun motioned for everyone to be calm, and only after a team of patrols at the head of the city walked over, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"With the claws, be careful not to make a sound."

When everyone heard Zhao Jun's order at this time, they each untied a flying claw with a length of more than ten zhang from their waists, threw it on the city wall together, and grabbed the edge.

Because before, Zhao Jun wrapped a thick strip of cloth on the hook, so he didn't make much noise.

In the end, the crowd divided into two teams, one first and one on guard, climbed the wall and jumped from the other side.

After entering the city, Zhao Jun quickly ordered: "Monkey, you and I each take a team, you go to their horse grazing land, make a mess of the horse farm for me, and I will take people to kill Zhou Kuang, be fast." ”

"Okay." The thin monkey nodded, and with a wave of his hand, twenty people were divided and walked around the edge of the city from the left.

And Zhao Jun waved his hand and said, "Follow me." ”

Then he began to walk from the middle, in a remote place, and while avoiding the sentry posts in the city, he looked for Zhou Kuang's residence.

I have to say that the precautions in the city are even more lax than those outside the city, which makes Zhao Jun very happy, and he almost did not encounter any danger along the way.

Even if he encountered a few unlucky ghosts, he was quickly disposed of by Zhao Jun and his subordinates, without alarming anyone.

It's just that Zhou Kuang's residence has not been found, Zhao Jun is a little anxious in his heart, what he wants is to assassinate Zhou Kuang first, and then take advantage of the chaos in the horse farm, calmly retreat, and then coerce the Zhou family's small town, and without spending a single soldier, he can take the Zhou family's horse farm.

Unexpectedly, the distribution of Kuang's small city in Zhou Zhou was extremely chaotic, which brought great inconvenience to Zhao Jun's actions.

At this moment, suddenly there was chaos in the city.

"It's not good, the horses at the horse farm are frightened, everyone go and help."

Many people heard the news in their sleep, and they couldn't help but run out of the house in panic, and then rushed to the horse farm behind the city.

These people ran to the racecourse, and they did not forget to shout and inform the others, and there was a lot of noise.

Wu Xing said in the back: "Is it that the monkey has succeeded?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Jun nodded and said in a low voice: "You must find Zhou Kuang quickly, let's go here." ”

Zhao Jun led people through a remote alley, and arrived in front of a relatively large mansion, and when he looked up, he saw that there was still Zhou Mansion written on it.

Zhao Jun was immediately overjoyed, it seemed that this was Zhou Kuang's residence, and he had finally found it.

It's just that before he could bring people in, suddenly, he saw the door of Zhou's mansion wide open, and more than a dozen people came out.

Wu Xing was even more exclaiming, and exclaimed in the back: "Brother Ajun, look, that's Zhou Kuang, he is there." ”

Needless to say, Zhao Jun also found out that at the gate of Zhou's mansion more than ten steps away, Zhou Kuangzheng walked out with an angry face, but Zhou Kuang was wearing fat at this time, and there were more than a dozen guards next to him, which should be a matter of the horse farm.

It's just that obviously, because of Wuxing's exclamation, Zhou Kuang also quickly discovered Zhao Jun and others, he didn't know Zhao Jun, but he knew Wuxing.

Suddenly, Zhou Kuang's face changed, and he shouted in surprise: "There are assassins, quickly catch them for me, I will be rewarded." ”

Subsequently, Zhou Kuang was a joy and caught Wuxing, why can't he take the Wujia Racecourse?

"Hmph, kill!"

Zhao Jun snorted coldly, and immediately rushed towards Zhou Kuang, who was proud, this old thing was still dreaming when things came to an end.

"Kill Zhou Kuang and avenge my father." Wu Xing suddenly shouted angrily, but he was not timid, and he drew his sword with the brothers behind him, and rushed forward.

"Avenge the leader and kill him!"

After Zhou Kuang heard this, his face suddenly changed, and then he realized that they were clearly prepared and not afraid of being discovered at all.

As soon as he panicked, seeing that he was not manpowered, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Someone, someone, quickly, there are assassins." ”

It's just that now because of the racecourse, the town is in chaos, and Zhou Kuang's call can't work at all for the time being.

And the Zhao army rushed in at this time, and Zhou Kuang guarded it, neither using a sword, nor being as good as a three-edged army.

With just a pair of meat fists, it was like a wolf entering the flock, destroying the ancient and decaying, and the screams came and went, and those guards were blown away by Zhao Jun's punch one after another.

Between the ups and downs, more than a dozen Zhou Kuang guards, without even touching the corners of Zhao Jun's clothes, were killed by him in front of Zhou Kuang.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Kuang was stunned by Zhao Jun's bravery for a while, his eyes were very frightened, when did such a fierce man come out of Wujia Racecourse?

Zhao Jun smiled coldly and said, "Go and reunite with your brother." ”

Then, with a wave of his hands, he hit Zhou Kuang's chest like a poisonous snake.

"Touch!"

A miserable scream sounded, and I saw Zhou Kuang being directly punched by Zhao Jun and flying more than a foot away, and finally fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

Zhou Kuang was unarmed, still wearing fat clothes, and in a panic, he was not Zhao Jun's opponent at all.

"Poof, you're Zhao Jun." Zhou Kuang covered the wound and spit out a mouthful of blood, only then did he realize that this was Zhao Jun of Zhou Xiong, the second brother, and his face couldn't help but be shocked.

Zhao Jun said coldly: "Yes, you didn't die when you picked me up, count you lucky, and suffer death." ”

At this time, Zhao Jun stepped forward and was about to make a move to Zhou Kuang.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wu Xing suddenly shouted in the back: "Brother Ajun, let me kill him personally to avenge my father." ”

"Okay." Zhao Jun nodded after hearing this, and handed Zhou Kuang to Wuxing.

At this time, Zhou Kuang was powerless to resist at all, and with a frightened face, he begged Wu Xing: "Don't kill me, your father was killed by Xu De, you can't blame me, please don't kill me." ”

"Ahh At this time, Wuxing couldn't listen to it at all, and screamed angrily, and the three-edged army stabbed forward fiercely.

With a 'thud', the military thorn was plunged straight into Zhou Kuang's chest, and the blood was all over the black star, and Zhou Kuang died directly with a roll of his eyes.

Wu Xing was unaware of the blood on his face at this time, and tears suddenly flowed down.

"Dad, did you see it, my daughter is avenging!"

When Zhao Jun saw Wuxing's demeanor, his heart was very uncomfortable, and the liveliness and cheerfulness on Wuxing's body gradually disappeared.

However, at this time, Zhao Jun didn't have time to care so much, he felt that there were many people coming here nearby, and it should be someone from Zhoujia Racecourse who found out.

Therefore, he turned around and hurriedly said to the person behind him: "Huzi, immediately take people to the city to set fire, and then we will gather at the gate of the city and cooperate with the big bear to break through Zhou City." ”

Now, it is impossible to calmly retreat, only to attack and take Zhou Cheng directly.

"Yes." Zhonghu nodded and led the people away.

This time he strongly asked to come with him, Zhao Jun saw that his martial arts were not bad, and he had helped himself before, and Zhong Yu did not object, so he let him follow.

After Zhao Jun saw Huzi take a few people away, he stepped forward and cut off Zhou Kuang's head, and finally pulled up the black star, and said to the people left behind: "Brothers, go, go to the gate of the city, pick up our men and horses to attack and take Zhou City." ”

"Yes, pull down Zhou Chengla, haha!"

The people in the back, seeing that Zhou Kuang had been killed, were all overjoyed, and when they heard that Zhao Jun was going to take the Zhou family horse farm directly, they suddenly became excited, this time the matter is over, they have become heroes.

At this time, outside the city, Da Xiong was anxiously waiting with a thousand horse gang brothers, and suddenly saw a fire rising into the sky inside the city.

Seeing this, Da Xiong immediately turned over and got on his horse, and shouted excitedly to the thousand brothers behind him: "Brothers, the Zhou family horse gang is about to end, follow me in!" ”

"Yes, kill!"

"Kill, avenge the Great Chief!"

There were more than a thousand people in the back, with a roar, the momentum soared to the sky, everyone looked excited, drew their swords and rushed in!

Immediately afterwards, in the battle behind, there was almost no suspense, and the Zhou family racecourse was in chaos, so their people were already in chaos first.

Later, Zhao Jun carried Zhou Kuang's head and rushed to the gate of the city, which made them lose their fighting spirit in an instant, and the battle ended in just one hour.

The entire Zhou family horse farm has become Zhao Jun's bag.

It's just that in the end, suddenly Da Xiong came and said that he had captured a Qin army scout, as if he was spying on the Zhou family's horse gang, and he inadvertently bumped into him.

Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this, he was still thinking about how to negotiate with Qin Jun, not only to join the Qin army, but also to ensure his absolute right to control the horse gang.

Unexpectedly, someone took the initiative to send it to the door.

"Brother Jun, I saw this in the Zhou Mansion, take a look." And Zhonghu handed Zhao Jun a white silk.

Zhao Jun took it strangely, and suddenly his heart was shocked, and he vomited retrograde?!

"Hehe, I can't understand this, thinking that you must be able to use it, I'm leaving." After Zhonghu finished speaking, he ran away.

Zhao Jun smiled inwardly, Zhonghu, this kid, can be cultivated.

ps: It's a little late today, I'm sorry, but this chapter is 4500 words, which is enjoyable for everyone. And today, some people say that I make up the number of words, I cut a district, and now the books are not on the shelves, there is no money to take, I make up the number of words, isn't it purely self-inflicted, how can it be?

In addition, the protagonist is about to enter the Qin army, and the plot that everyone said is slow, and there are few historical celebrities, and I know it in my heart, and this problem will disappear soon.

Moreover, the previous characters and plots were all useful later, by no means, as some brothers were worried about, there was no outline, or I scribbled and deliberately dragged the plot, so please rest assured.
