In the night of Xuanchuan County, North Korea, the dark city was sleeping, and under the faint starlight, a groom walked through the street with a dim lantern and banging on a bangzi, and the place he walked was immediately covered in darkness again.

When the husband was gone, ten dark shadows flashed through the street in groups, entered a laneway one after another, and touched a large mansion, all of them dressed in short black clothes, carrying a backpack, holding weapons of different lengths in their hands, and cloth shoes with thick soft soles on their feet, and they did not make a sound at all.

The leader came to the courtyard wall, ten people squatted down at the same time, holding their breath as if it had become a part of the darkness, there was the sound of animals stepping on the plants in the courtyard wall, and the sound of whirring and sniffing, a black shadow gently felt a piece of jerky from the leg bag and threw it over the wall.

The dog inside whined, and did not bark, but approached the position where the jerky was thrown, and the sound of chewing meat came, and more than ten people outside waited for a while, and there was a soft sound of falling to the ground inside.

The leader greeted a strong man, stood on his shoulder, and showed his face from the wall, it was Li Tao, the horseman who helped catch Jiannu outside the city of Gu'an, because he was excellent at the beginning, he was favored by Pu Zhuang, and he went through severe training, and now he is a squad leader of the special service team.

At present, there are a total of four squads of the special service team, the first team was transferred to Fujian, they are the second team of the special service team, with a staff of 12 people, this time they followed the army to North Korea, directly under the command of the Central Military Department, and was ordered to infiltrate Xuanchuan to arrest the British Ordai, and by the way to inquire about the Houjin military situation, Chen Xin found the interpreter who was a Korean Han, but Chen Xin did not just let him be a translator. It's an informant. This person's family members were all on Phi Island, Zhang Dong deceived him to Yamato Island, and then forced him to be an informant for a while, and the second team lived in his relatives' house.

They went ashore from Xuanchuanpu the day before yesterday, and rushed to Xuanchuan yesterday in disguise as merchants because of the chaos on Phi Island. The Korean lords have also been very vigilant lately, but the corruption of the Korean army is even worse than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the second squad hides their weapons in a hired ox cart. It only cost a few taels of silver to enter the city easily.

Most of the people in Xuanchuan and Tieshan are Han Chinese, and the translator has been trading for a long time and is also familiar with this place. The location of Yingordai was quickly determined, which was a large mansion in the north of Xuanchuan City, which used to be the residence of Jin Shirang, the superintendent of Ping'an Province, and is now used as a stronghold by Yingordai.

Li Tao carefully looked at the scene in the courtyard, this is the residence of Ying Erdai in Xuanchuan, which is equivalent to Houjin's office here, the location of the outer wall where he is located is the west garden of the mansion, the courtyard is quiet, they measured the size with steps when they stepped on the point during the day, according to the layout of the residence they originally trained. It is estimated that it is sitting in the south and facing north with the east and west gardens, and the official hall and the main house where you live should be between the east and west gardens. There were two Korean soldiers standing guard at the gate here, and it was not far from a barracks, so they were cautious and chose to sneak in from the West Garden.

It was dark. Li Tao barely saw the situation in the courtyard clearly, dropped a rope, and slowly slid to the ground, and the others followed one by one. After leaving one person at the rope place, everyone groped their way to the gate of the West Garden. They did not dare to open the door, and the sound of the pages turning would be very noticeable at night.

The main courtyard is very quiet. Didn't hear a dog, a team member made some slight noise behind the door, and stuffed a few pieces of poisonous jerky from the crack in the door, there was still no movement after half a ring, Li Tao made sure that there was no dog, and led everyone to climb over the courtyard wall, there were two rows of side rooms, the south side is the official hall, the north side is the main house where they live, and there is a side room with lights on at this time.

Li Tao came to the two team members and said in a mosquito-like voice: "You are on guard at the gate of the West Garden, and in case of an accident, you will open the gate of the garden and be responsible for covering the retreat." ”

The two of them took out the strong crossbow, which was much smaller than the ordinary stretch crossbow, and had high accuracy and lethality within thirty steps, and they each chose a place and aimed the strong crossbow in the direction of the official hall.

Li Tao took the remaining six team members, half-squatting and quietly touching the side room to the main house, three of them took out strong crossbows and guarded the front with a cross position. Li Tao and the other four took out daggers and short knives, one stood guard in the room with the lights on, and the others touched the outside of the main house, they knew how to identify the room where the owner should live, and they squatted under the window and heard snoring inside. Li Tao nodded slightly, and a member of the team came to the door, poked in through the crack in the door with a dagger, and gently flicked the door latch inside, retracting the door latch a little bit.

Li Tao closed his eyes and listened to the movement inside, the breathing sound was very even, the sleeping person was not awakened, he was a little nervous in his heart, although most of these team members have been on the battlefield, or they are very good at martial arts, and being able to pass the guò selection also shows that their psychological quality is very strong, but after all, it is the first official mission, which is related to the evaluation of the special service team by the generals of the Wendeng battalion, the special service team is treated more than ordinary soldiers, and many officers think that the special service team has no effect, and they often speak coldly, which also makes them hold their breath.

The player cautiously continued to move, he moved very lightly, each time he could only let the latch back a little bit, about a quarter of an hour later, he nodded to Li Tao, Li Tao closed his eyes and begged the Heavenly Buddha, and gently pushed the door.

The door page creaked, it was very harsh at night, Li Tao lifted the door page slightly, the sound became softer, he continued to push, to the width of a person, dodged and drilled in, and the two team members also followed, and they touched the side of the bed.

There are two people on the bed, one person outside has the smell of fat powder, it should be a woman, and the man is inside, Li Tao whispered to a team member, gently went up to the bed, twisted the person's right hand suddenly, pressed him face down on the bed, covered the person's mouth with one hand, and the other team member directly twisted the neck of the woman outside.

The man on the bed woke up, and was suddenly pressed in the middle of the night, he was naturally frightened, and kept writhing, but there was no effect under Li Tao's iron pincer-like two-handed control, and the team member next to him reached out and touched it, and said in a low voice: "It's a tartar." ”

Li Tao felt that this person's strength was not strong, and knew that this person should not be a soldier, so he whispered to him: "If you want to live, don't call it, uncle only needs silver, and he doesn't want to kill." ”

The man nodded busily, no longer struggling. Seeing this, Li Tao knew that this person could speak Chinese, and he listened to the courtyard again, but there was still no movement, so he continued to ask him: "Where is your silver?" As he spoke, he slightly let go of the hand covering his mouth.

"Well, good man, the minions' money is in the box under the bed." The words are correct and round, but the whole body is shaking with fright.

Li Tao looked at him like this. doesn't look like a person in charge, hehe smiled: "Your little silver is not enough to call Huazi, uncle wants your master's silver." ”

The man trembled and said, "Good man." The master didn't have any silver here, and his silver was sent back to Shenyang every few days. ”

"If you want to deceive the uncle, which room is your master in? If you don't say anything, I'll cut off your hands. See what you rely on to follow the master in the future. ”

"The master has gone to Yiju, a good man, it's true."

Li Tao covered his mouth again, and with a sharp twist of his right hand, he broke the man's arm, and the man's whole body shook like chaff, and cold sweat was gurgling down his face.

"Now I ask you, which room is your master in?"

"Hero, uncle." The man cried and begged for mercy intermittently, "The master really went to Yiju." The slave only has a few lives and dares to lie to the uncle. ”

Li Tao secretly called unlucky, it was easy to sneak in, the main owner was not there, and he no longer pretended to be a thief at the moment, and asked directly: "What is your name." What errand do you do in which flag? What is the name of the master? ”

The man died in pain, and before he could think about it, he replied: "The slave is a wooden color, and the master of the slave is Lord Yingordai, and the slave can't use a bow and arrow, but can speak Chinese and Korean." I followed my master to North Korea. ”

Li Tao was proud in his heart, and the tartars were not all wild boar skins, so he was still so afraid of death, and asked with a sneer: "What is he doing in Yizhou?" ”

That Da Mu Se finally felt that something was wrong, hesitated for a moment and didn't speak, Li Tao pinched his broken bones, Da Mu Se snorted again, and when he calmed down a little, Li Tao let go of his mouth again.

"Say it quickly, if the uncle believes it, he will spare you from death, otherwise your other hand will be gone."

Da Mu Se replied weakly: "Uncle spare his life, and the master will go to pick up Lord Leng Erli." ”

"Greeting?" Li Tao recalled that they had been remembering the name of the Houjin general on the ship, and this flute salute was a first-class general officer belonging to a certain banner on the right wing.

"What are you doing?"

"They're here to hit Phi Island."

Li Tao smiled slightly in the dark, he finally got something valuable, and he didn't have to run in vain, "How many soldiers did he bring?" Will North Korea send troops? ”

Damuse didn't care who the other party was now, "Uncle, this slave really doesn't know, it was Lord Mandarhan who sent someone to inform the master to go to Yizhou, and the slave only listened to the master's words, as if he wanted North Korea to send a troop ship." ”

Li Tao asked a few more words, and the wood-colored bamboo tube poured beans, and explained everything he knew, he kept humming in pain, and wanted to live, and begged Li Tao for mercy: "Uncle, the villain knows everything, the silver is under the bed, the key is under the pillow, beg the uncle...... Woo"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the compound, and after two footsteps, it was quiet again.

Li Tao didn't delay any longer, suddenly crushed Da Mu Se's Adam's apple, twisted his neck, dragged out the box from under the bed, and when he opened it, he saw that there were hundreds of taels of silver inside, so he asked the two team members to take out a black bag in the backpack and put it in, he needed to fake a stealing appearance, so as not to know that the news was leaked.

After a qiē was over, Li Tao and the others returned to the courtyard, and saw that the door of the house with lights was open, and there were some blood stains on the ground......

Two days later, on a wooded hill in the south of Yizhou, Li Tao used a telescope to observe the Houjin procession on the official road, surrounded by five other team members, lying in the dense grass and trees, covered with a green camouflage cloth, and some branches and leaves of trees stuck in their hats.

"There are 1,500 cavalry, including 15 to 200 white armor, 500 foot armor soldiers, 4,000 clothing auxiliaries, and a total strength of about 6,000 troops, all of which are full of eight banners, and there are no Mongolian left and right flanks, and there are no Korean soldiers in the queue."

Li Tao said on the side, a team member with charcoal pen in a booklet kept remembering, they are all using symbols, drawing a similar shape, is also special for the special team, their team has six people returned to Yamato Island, brought back the information obtained in Xuanchuan, Li Tao led people to sneak to Yizhou, to find out the Houjin troops, they took the official road during the day, and took the road at night, only slept for four hours in two days, and finally saw the Houjin army in Yizhou, proving that what Damuse said that day was the truth, Houjin really couldn't help it, It is necessary to take advantage of the civil strife on Phi Island to pull out this henchman.

On the official road, Houjin's cavalry marched rumblingly, the queue was tight, no one was talking and laughing, with the arrogance of a division of a hundred battles. Li Tao snorted on the ground, he had participated in the battle of Luanzhou, and knew what kind of wolf the Jiannu who were under siege were.

A yellow-faced and bucktoothed team member next to him grinned and said: "Team leader, when we were in Shanxi Town, I heard that a Tartar could fight five Han soldiers, and I always thought about finding one to try, or let's catch one back." ”

Li Tao said disdainfully: "You believe those words, Lao Tzu has also heard of a Tartar beating a hundred Han soldiers." Mother, these Jiannu marching troops neither sent scouts nor left guards, and they didn't take Dongjiang Town and the Korean soldiers in their eyes at all, I am afraid that they will also regard themselves as divine soldiers, and one day they will have to suffer. ”

Bucktooth turned out to be a night guard in Shanxi Town, who had been out of the Sentinel many times, with a fierce and tenacious temperament, and was originally qualified to be the captain of the special service team training, but because of a private fight with another teammate in the same team, he was transferred to Li Tao's team as a captain.

Bucktooth touched the two handcuffs on his waist, pulled out the sharp dagger again, licked it repeatedly with his tongue, looking like his hands were itchy, he licked his lips and said unwillingly: "Team leader, we can receive the highest salary in the whole army, if we don't cut off a few heads to go back, we may not be ridiculed by others, even if no one laughs, we are ashamed of ourselves, Lao Tzu used to be unable to eat enough in Shanxi Town, and he had to go out of the stuff once or twice a year, cut off some Western captives' heads and came back, now he has everything, but he has not cut off a single head, how can he be worthy of Lord Chen." ”

Li Tao hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to send the Jiannu troops back to Lord Chen, we have to rely on the soldiers to fight, let's not alarm them." ”

Several members of the team around showed disappointed looks, they were different from ordinary soldiers, most of them had fierce temperaments, and the harsh and inhuman training had long worn out their original morality and personality, and the internal competition and confrontation were far from enough to fully vent, and now they all wanted to do it when they had the opportunity.

Li Tao looked at them for a while, and finally said: "Let's stay until dark, see if there is a rear team, and then send two people back to deliver the letter, and the others will follow behind Jiannu, but you have to listen to Lao Tzu's orders, if someone dares to do it without permission, Lao Tzu gelding him." ”
