The Donggong guard battalion was still stationed in Hejin for a few days, and the crown prince said that he would go to Shanxi for the New Year, and Cai Maode did not dare to stay longer. In fact, in his heart, he really desperately hoped that the strong army of Donggong could stay in Hejin...... Although it is useless to stay, now everyone knows that Li Chuang's army is dispatched, and it is no longer possible for thousands of officers and soldiers to resist.

Zhu Cihong sent Min Zhanlian to check the training of the Jin army, if the morale was available, he could also help the drill, and many of the work of robbing houses and houses could be handed over to them to do. It is better for the real troops to stay away from those illegal activities, in case they become addicted. However, the news that Min Zhanlian brought back was: It is better to train the bandits. This can be regarded as completely dispelling Zhu Cihong's idea of arranging and training Jin soldiers.

Speaking of bandits, there are also mountains near Binh Duong, and the mountains are not high, but if there are thieves, they will be. When the Donggong guard battalion was stationed, a small force was dispatched to lay down several bandit cottages to earn some subsidies. However, this kind of small unit training has been done a few times, and the habitual bandits in the mountains know that it is powerful, and they avoid it from a distance. The silver grain in the cottage didn't know which hole they were hiding in, so it was naturally impossible to look for it all over the mountains.

The pastime of exterminating the bandits soon ceased.

Li Zicheng would not let the big fish of the crown prince slip away without a trace, and sent a small group of men and horses to follow the traces of the East Palace guard camp. Finally, a sentinel team learned the news that Zhu Cihong was temporarily stationed in Hejin, and the thieves gathered in one place, and there were as many as 500 people, most of whom were horsemen.

"Ha, these rabbit cubs even know that the Yu gate is a ghost gate, and it is not so easy to break through, and they also detour to Ganzepo! Circle! If you take a detour, you have to send it to your grandfather! "Xiao Donglou stood on the top of the hill hahadaxiao.

After Zhu Cihong incorporated the Qin soldiers, his reconnaissance ability rose by more than one notch. At the same time as the campers gathered, those experienced border towns also transmitted the news back to the Chinese army camp. Zhu Cihong was able to calmly arrange, and ordered Xiao Donglou to lead the troops into battle and rely on the favorable terrain to attack them.

Xiao Donglou had not fought Xiao Mo in the Hejin sniper mission before. Watching Xiao Mo take the right military headquarters to the Dragon Gate to garrison. Finally, there are still some characters among the Li thieves, who did not come from the dragon gate stupidly, detoured fifty miles, crossed the river on Ganzepo, and went straight to Hejin City by the north mountain road.

According to the original reconnaissance ability of the East Palace, these thieves definitely escaped from the guard circle of the East Palace. Whether it was slapping Xiao Mo's back or directly harassing Hejin. It is possible to take advantage of it. It's a pity that Yansui Town has been guarding against Mongolian cavalry all year round, and these people from Yulin can easily understand the movements of this wave of people and horses without collecting them at night.

As another unit of the Donggong Guard Battalion that had only recently appointed battalion officers, the Left Military Department had long wanted to fight a fierce battle and completely take off the hat of the logistics baggage battalion. Under the leadership of Xiao Donglou, this thousand headquarters took out a rapid marching posture, rested in Fanjia Village, and continued to go north and rushed into Luliang Mountain.

Luliang Mountain is a large mountain range in western Jinxi, stretching for 800 miles from north to south. Longmen (Yumenmen) is the southern end of Luliang Mountain. To the west of this mountain range is the Loess Plateau, which is now less eroded, and to the east is lush vegetation, with trees still growing on the peaks of more than a kilometer. At this time, although it was a cold winter and there was no green in the mountains, the uneven growth of pine, whitebark pine, and oak trees all over the mountain still provided natural cover for the left military headquarters.

"Our fat jacket is too conspicuous." Cao Ning stood beside Xiao Donglou, tapping a worn folding fan in his hand. frowned and said, "I have to think of a way to cover it up." ”

Heipi leaned over and said, "The ...... in charge" Xiao Donglou heard this. Raise the whip and make a gesture to strike. Heipi hurriedly changed his words: "Colonel! Lord Colonel! Xiao Donglou's hand stopped in mid-air, controlled the whip, and said, "Say!" If you don't say it well, you still have to fight! ”

Heipi was originally a captain of the Tianxiong Army, and he was also a big boss after falling into the grass with Xiao Donglou. This time, he had the merit of capturing Niu Jinxing, and after the assessment, he was awarded the rank of major. He was able to pass the assessment because he was smart. Even the harsh military judges were deceived by him. As soon as he arrived in the camp, he showed his gangsterism, which made the military judges with him a headache and helpless.

"Big ...... Captain! Heipi said: "Let's put the fat jacket back and wear it, maybe it's better." ”

Cao Ning stepped forward and tore off the fat jacket with black skin, and saw that the inside was a natural cotton cloth. It's still a bit out of place in the environment, but it's much better than the big red outside.

Heipi covered his chest with both hands, pulled it back hard, and said aggrieved like an angry daughter-in-law: "Military advisor, if it's torn, there is no mother-in-law to sew it for me!" ”

Xiao Donglou finally got his wish and whipped it down.

"Am I wrong? Lieutenant Colonel Cao! Staff Officer Cao! Blackskin covered his head and jumped up.

"It's something you can remember!" Xiao Donglou raised his face and said, "Don't think about women all day long!" If you are beheaded for adultery, I will not feel any distress at all! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Hei Pi shouted while jumping, only ran away from the range of Xiao Donglou's horsewhip, and then dragged up the square step, and walked towards his defensive section infinitely.

"This black monkey, if you don't fight, you can't do it!" Xiao Donglou spat at the back of the black skin, and said, "I think this method is okay." We are on the mountain, and even if the thieves look up, they may not be able to look so closely, not to mention that there are so many trees. ”

Cao Ning nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, tell the brothers, you have to shout 'tiger' when you rush to kill." Whoever dares to shout black words again, don't blame me for fucking his mother! ”

Cao Ning was the operational staff officer of the Left Military Department, and later a notice came from the Military Command Department, asking him to temporarily act as the instructor of the Thousand Headquarters. This is also a way for Donggong to show trust, but the various work indicators will not lower the requirements. Because the soldiers shouted black words when they were charging into battle, like bandits, Cao Ning had already been sued by the military judge several times, and if he committed it again, he would definitely be punished.

This made Cao Ning very helpless, and greeted the brothers several times, but every time he fought, there were still people who made mistakes. If you practice military law for the sake of this matter, you can't think about it, but if you can't correct it, it's because the instructor is not doing his job well!

"What's the use of you telling me about me." Xiao Donglou pouted and said, "The top will punish you, won't you just punish the bottom?" ”

"Those eunuchs? If you look at it, you will do iniquity, and you will be counted. Cao Ning said.

In the beginning, it was a chore for a lieutenant to serve as a trainer, and no one was afraid of falling on himself. But with the promotion of the military rank system, lieutenant officers can also be awarded military ranks and enjoy the treatment of guard battalions, which has become a beautiful difference. Different from the punishment principle of ordinary officers, once a lieutenant officer is demerited, he must be sent back to the palace to serve as a miscellaneous servant. After being an officer, who wants to go back and empty the phlegm bucket urinal? Therefore, the lieutenant officials are more stubborn.

"You also give me a ...... of the Shanxi accent," Xiao Donglou said speechlessly.

"Do as the locals do!" Cao Ning's eyes suddenly narrowed, pointed to a ridge in the distance, and said, "Look if that's someone!" ”

Xiao Donglou took out a clairvoyant mirror from his clothes like a baby, looked at it in front of him, and said, "There are still a lot of people!" Get the brethren ready to him! ”

The left army headquarters turned over the fat jackets up and down, and crouched on the high ground on both sides of the mountain road, and some even deliberately cut down small trees and inserted them in front of them as cover. The perennial bandit experience is perfectly combined with the strict discipline of the East Palace, and there is no human voice on the entire mountain road.

Li Zicheng's chasing army was originally a battalion, and in order to expand the pursuit area, they dispersed their actions, and now they are still gathered together after getting the news. The leading general is also a Guoyi general, and his status is not low. He was bent on drinking the first soup, and deliberately waited half a day late to get the news out, and by that time he was already ten or twenty miles ahead.

"General," Tanma returned to the ranks, "there is no brigade of officers and soldiers ahead, and there are no birds in any place where they pass. ”

General Guo Yi thought for a moment and said, "Do you see a bird flying?" ”

"Not really." Tanma was a little puzzled.

No one expected Xiao Donglou to move too fast, and hurried to the ambush point, and those birds were frightened away long before they broke into the camp and came to explore the way.

"I'm afraid it's a disaster here, and the birds have all been killed." This General Guo Yi is a native of Henan. In Henan, don't talk about birds, even the feathers of the birds have been eaten. When he saw that the trees on this mountain were still growing bark, he already sighed that Shanxi was a good place.

Tanma is a little unbelieving, and birds are not cats and dogs, how can they be so easy to light?

"There are trees on the mountains on both sides, and there are no stones hanging high, so I am not afraid that he will have ambushes." General Guo Yi glanced at it from afar, and said, "Everyone be careful for me!" It's too fast! Go into the city and eat the prince's! ”

The soldiers below were jubilant, and after resting, the breaking army marched south along the mountain road again. (To be continued......)
