The scout of the Qin army is called Zhang Mu, he is actually only twenty-three years old, and he has been in the Jiuyuan Army for five years!

Although the Xiongnu were defeated by Meng Tian in the autumn of the 32nd year of the First Emperor, Jiuyuan has not fought for nearly five years, and the Xiongnu have not gone south to attack Qin on a large scale again in these five years.

However, in the past five years, the small-scale scout spying of the Xiongnu cavalry has never stopped, or it can be said that although the Xiongnu have experienced great defeats, they have never given up their ambition to seize the Hetao grassland and Henan from Daqin.

In the past five years, in the vast grassland north of Jiuyuan and south of Yinshan, I don't know how many small-scale bloody battles have occurred. The protagonists of these battles are the scout cavalry of Daqin and the cavalry scout of the Xiongnu;

In five years, I don't know how many of Daqin's elite soldiers were buried in this boundless grassland;

In five years, I don't know how many elite cavalry of the Xiongnu fell under the arrows or swords of the Great Qin scouts, which became the military merit of the promotion of these warriors;

In five years, he went from a small scout soldier to a commander before him and fought bloody battles with the Hun scout cavalry again and again on this vast grassland;

In five years, he has changed dozens of former chiefs, and he has been seriously injured and dying several times, but he finally came back to life;

In five years, the once young soldier has now started a family, and he has also made great contributions in countless battles.

In the past five years, this was the first time he had confronted the Hun cavalry on this steppe since he led the team as a commander.

In five years, Zhang Mu has grown from a teenager who was kindly teased and ridiculed by veterans like Xiao Wu to a brave and cunning Great Qin elite soldier, and he also knows the ferocity of the Hun elite cavalry scouts better than anyone in this scout team.

Suppressing the boiling killing intent in his heart, Zhang Mu quietly lay on the ground and stared at the Hun cavalry drinking and eating meat, he was waiting for the best opportunity. The rest of the Qin scouts also quietly waited for his orders.

Zhang Mu's team of scouts had a total of ten people, nine of whom were veterans who had participated in at least three battles with the Hun cavalry scouts, and only Xiao Wu had encountered a real battle for the first time.

At this time, Xiao Wu's eyes were flustered, his face was pale, his breathing was short, and he held the bow and arrow in his hand tightly. The sturdy soldier lying next to him sensed his nervousness, gently patted Xiao Wu's shoulder with his hand, and handed him an encouraging smile.

Xiao Wu, who was originally startled by the sudden slap, nodded lightly when he saw the smiling face and encouraging look in his eyes, and the panic in his eyes suddenly disappeared a lot, gradually becoming firmer, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Zhang Mu, who was lying at the front, keenly felt the changes in Xiao Wu behind him, turned his head and saw that Xiao Wu's breathing gradually stabilized, and threw a look at the strong master soldier to protect Xiao Wu, and then stretched out his thumb and smiled gently at Xiao Wu.

The Hun cavalry's dinner was coming to an end at this time, and more than 40 Hun cavalrymen were ready to enter the camp tent to rest, and at this time they were arguing over arranging the vigil, obviously no one wanted to keep vigil at night.

It was not dark yet, and the reason why Zhang Mu agreed to get a vote before was not only for the sake of military merits, but more importantly, there were steep dirt slopes on both sides of this mountain col that were as high as his uncle, and the only flat road was just facing the Hun cavalry by the river.

The Hun cavalry was facing them, and they could not be seen at the moment, but it was impossible for them to leave with their horses without the Hun cavalry noticing at all. If these Hun cavalry are not solved, then their team can only come out after the Hun cavalry leaves tomorrow morning.

And now that the Hun cavalry scouts appear here, it means that the Hun army is camped somewhere not far from the north, and a night can change a lot of things, not to mention that now it seems that the Hun army is only 600 miles away from Jiuyuan at most. Therefore, Zhang Mucai decisively agreed to get a vote.

After a long time of arguing, the leader of the Hun scouts, dressed in rudimentary leather armor, finally selected the four cavalrymen for the night vigil, and then walked into a camp tent to rest. The four unlucky Hun cavalry leaders who were selected began to let out strange cheers after leaving.

Zhang Mu heard it very clearly, the four cavalrymen were scolding the leader, and after the four of them scolded for a while, the four cavalrymen who were on vigil began to gather around the huge fire in the middle of the camp and drink goat's milk wine, talking loudly.

After a while, he talked about Qin Nu, and one of the cavalrymen shouted about a Qin Nu he had killed, talking about the tenderness of Qin Nu's skin and the softness of her body. The remaining three cavalrymen listened to it one by one, their eyes lit up, and they even said that they would also have a good taste of Qin Nu when they defeated Jiuyuan.

Hearing the silver words of these four people to Qin Nu, Zhang Mu tightly held the bow and crossbow in his hand, his eyes gradually blood-red, okay, let you live for a while, and when it gets dark, I will come to collect your lives!

It was getting dark, there was not a single star in the vast sky, the moon was impossible, and a heavy darkness shrouded the vast grassland.

Moonlight Murder Night! It's been a great day to kill! Zhang Mu looked at the sky and said darkly.

After a while, the four of them finally began to face the reality and began to discuss the matter of the vigil, knowing that there were many wolves in the prairie. In the end, the four decided to divide into two groups to take turns keeping vigil, and used a lot to decide which group would keep watch first.

The results of the draw came out, and the two Hun cavalrymen who had won the short draw stood up and staggered to the north and south of the camp respectively.

Now is the time!

Zhang Mu nodded at the sturdy soldier and another soldier behind him, and then pointed at the Hun cavalry in the north, and the two nodded, clinging to the ground, and slowly crawled out; Then Zhang Mu ordered two more soldiers to point to the guide, and the two soldiers also slowly climbed out.

After a while, there were two nightingale calls from the north and south, and Zhang Mu's heart was relieved. Now there were only two Hun cavalry left who were still by the fire.

After almost the time of tea, the two Hun cavalrymen who had been sitting by the fire and talking nonsense saw that the previous two cavalry had not returned, and one of the Hun cavalrymen said with a smile: "Moto and Thomr will not be hooked away by the ghost of the Qin girl, they haven't come back yet." Let's go and see! ”

I didn't know that these two people were not taken away by Qin Nu, but were taken away by Qin Bing.

Hearing that the two of them finally remembered that the two Hun soldiers were about to move before, Zhang Mu took a long breath. But after a while, Zhang Mu's face changed greatly, "Wait until you listen to my orders." Xiao Wu is responsible for taking care of the horses and not running around. After whispering, without waiting for Xiao Wu, who was left behind, to react, he secretly and quickly climbed out.

It turned out that I didn't know if the two Hun cavalrymen had drunk too much or what, but the two of them hooked their shoulders and went to the south of the camp tent at the same time. There are only two Qin soldiers in the south, and against the two tall Hun soldiers, they must not be able to solve it silently.

Once the sound of the battle woke up the rest of the Hun cavalry sleeping in the tent, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, after Zhang Mu finished instructing, he personally climbed out of the mountain col to support the two Qin soldiers in the south.

The two Huns walked out of the tent not far away, and saw the soldier named Tom who had come out before standing not far in front. The two of them suddenly settled down and stood in place.

"Hey, Thomm, what are you looking at? Is there a Qin girl dancing there? Ha ha! One of the two Hun cavalrymen teased. After a while, Tomr was still motionless, and the Hun cavalry stepped up to Tom's back, stretched out his hand and patted him, "Hey, Tomer?" ”

With his slap, Tom fell limply forward.

The Hun cavalry was suddenly shocked in his heart, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and he was about to shout when he opened his mouth.

"Boom", an eight-inch crossbow bolt flew out of the darkness and stuck right into his throat. The small bolt suddenly blocked his words in his chest.

"Ho-ho", he clutched the bolt deep into his neck with both hands, hissing in his throat and staring at him with wide terrified eyes trying to find the killer in the dark.

With his "ho-ho" light hiss, large streams of blood continued to gush out of his mouth and neck, and the scarlet blood gushed out seemed to take away all the life in his body while flowing out.

He finally collapsed with a dejected glare in his frightened eyes.
