Zuo Shouyi slowly crawled forward on the ground, not daring to make too much movement, and he didn't even want to overwhelm a small grass. He was covered with a layer of cotton cloth made of stones and clods of earth glued with fish glue. This disguise allows him to look like a pile of rocks in a place where there is no grass, so that he is not too conspicuous.

Originally, the scouts of the East Palace Guard Battalion used a camouflage suit full of branches in the forest, but after leaving the mountains, it was obvious that they could no longer be used. If a hungry and thirsty homeless suddenly sees a lump of green, nine out of ten people will come up and pluck a handful to see if they can gnaw it into their stomachs.

After a long and cautious prostration, Zuo Shouyi took out a clairvoyant mirror from the belt on his waist and carefully placed it in front of his eyes, observing the Dongyu soldiers on the opposite side.

In the lens of the clairvoyant, the soldiers are all bald, and there is a small pigtail like a rat's tail on the back of their heads, which shakes from time to time.

- It's ugly.

Zuo Shouyi said secretly in his heart, slowly turned the camera, and quickly counted the number of Dongyu. There were six soldiers sitting and munching on meat. There were fifteen Dongyu soldiers who were responsible for barbecue, food delivery, and rest on the side. They are all wearing iron armor, but there is obviously a big difference in status.

Zuo Shouyi carefully looked at the difference between these two groups of Donglu armor soldiers, and finally let him find that those sitting Donglu soldiers had dirty yellow teeth and sharp-beaked monkey gills, and they looked like outsiders. Those armored soldiers who served as servants, although they also shaved their heads, were still Han in appearance, and they were ugly and ugly.

Zuo Shouyi found the banner of Manchurian Zhenyi, with white edges and red background, which was a flag inlaid with red flags. This red-flag-inlaid force is the Yechen Division, which is now the largest Manchurian Zhenyi army in Shanxi.

Those Han soldiers were flying a kind of green banner that had never been seen before.

Zuo Shouyi memorized the colors of the Eight Banners in his mind, making sure that there had never been a "green flag", and he was quite surprised in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but associate it with the "green turban" worn by the prostitute man, and secretly said: Maybe Donglu looks down on these Han people who surrendered. Humiliate them with a green flag over their heads.

After the observation was over, Zuo Shouyi once again followed the path he came from, and still did not make a sound.

The slanting sun in the sky disappeared into the clouds, burning the clouds as if they were on fire, and also covered Zuo Shouyi, so that the crawling marks on the ground would not be discovered by the Eastern Soldiers.

Zuo Shouyi retreated into a ditch at the back of the village. There were two young men in earthy brown shorts who were munching on bread. When the two saw Zuo Shouyi coming back, they hurriedly got up and greeted: "Brother Zuo!" Can you find out? ”

Zuo Shouyi put away the camouflage cloth, pounced on the dust on his face, stepped forward to take the water bag, raised his head and took a sip, and said, "Twenty-one tartars." Six of them are inlaid with red flags, and fifteen are Han soldiers, but they are green flags, and I am afraid they are new battalion heads. ”

The other two are over twenty years old. The other looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Zuo Shouyi took a breath, waiting for the cold water to fall into his abdomen, which was cold and refreshing. He added: "Look at that Jiashi, they don't plan to leave tonight, we have to go around secretly, if they find out, they will inevitably end up with those villagers." ”

"What's wrong with those villagers?" The young man's eyes widened: "All killed? ”

"There are a few women, I'm afraid they will stay overnight." Zuo Shouyi said in a tone that didn't concern him.

The old man couldn't help but clench his fists, and a wave of green tendons gradually appeared on his forehead. He said in a low voice, "We have to save them." ”

"Save them?" Zuo Shouyi disagreed: "Just the three of us, how can we save it?" ”

The young man shouted, "Brother Shi." We are scouting horses, and after investigating the military situation, we have to go back and report to the commander-in-chief, otherwise we will be beheaded! ”

The Tanma surnamed Shi glared at him and said, "When it gets dark, I'll go in and kill them one by one!" If you are afraid of death, go first. Kwon didn't touch me. ”

Tanma goes out to investigate, and depending on the environment, it will be formed into a group of one to three people. Shi Xinsheng was alone to investigate the enemy's situation, and on the way back, he met Zuo Shouyi and the recruit Li Ersan. Although the three decided to go together, it was originally two teams. Acting separately is also in accordance with the Code of Conduct.

"How could you not have met ......" Li Ersan muttered: "After going back, when you take any road, you have to report who you meet, and you will come out as a pair." ”

Zuo Shouyi kicked Li Ersan, stood with his waist crossed and said: "Tanma encounters enemy Tanma outside, and it is the same to fight to the death." Why did you Donggong Tanma press and beat the thieves at the beginning? It's the way of fighting, no one is proficient. Who do you think those thieves are? That's the elite of the Nine Sides who don't collect the night and kill with the Mongols! Now there is such an opportunity for your kid to open the meat, and he will push back and forth. ”

Li Ersan was quite unconvinced, but he was speechless to Zuo Shouyi, so he had to mumble and provoke: "What do you call your East Palace...... It's us, our East Palace! ”

"These Tartars spend the night here, and they don't send detectives around, they don't set up sentry posts on the roof, and they don't plug the hole, so they are obviously lax and deserve to be at their grandmother's house! I'm sorry God if I don't kill. Zuo Shouyi took a sip.

The saliva fell to the ground, and in an instant it was enveloped in dust and turned into a ball of mud.

Shi Xinsheng's eyes lit up, and he didn't say anything about going alone to kill people in the dark, and said categorically: "Brother Zuo, what do you say?" Brother, listen to you! ”

Zuo Shouyi glanced at him and said, "Let's go and kill twenty-one, this is one against ten." He paused, and then said, "We didn't come out to be scouts the first day, and we all know that there is no god in the world who hits more with less, as Mr. Storyteller said. My brother had to ask: why do you want to kill them so much? Don't worry too much, I've seen a lot of heroes who carry knives beforehand, and I just want to see if you will slip away. ”

Shi Xinsheng gritted his teeth, a fire of hatred erupted in his eyes, and he said slowly: "In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Dongyu soldiers killed our village. There were more than 300 people in our village, and the killed were killed, and the captives were taken captive, and they even set a fire. When I get back, I won't even be able to find the bones of my family! I swore as early as when I joined the army that as long as I became an officer, I would go to Shanhaiguan to kill the Tartars! Now that they have sent themselves to the door, how can they be spared! ”

Zuo Shouyi pursed his lips and smiled, picked up a sharp stone casually, and drew a simple diagram on the ground in three or two. He said: "This is the dry ditch where we are hiding now, and from here there used to be a mountain beam, about three zhang high. Zuo Shouyi vigorously traced the crescent-shaped mountain beam: "The village is under this steep slope, there are three big houses and fourteen huts, and there should be seventeen families in the village." ”

"Seventeen households...... Even if there are three people in a household, there are fifty or sixty people. Li Ersan said: "Can't beat twenty?" ”

Zuo Shouyi ignored him, and secretly said in his heart: I don't know. I've seen more than a dozen thieves running away with thousands of people!

Of course, Zuo Shouyi would never tell others, and he was also one of the thousands of people at that time. And he also rode a horse and ran in front.

"The village has its back to the beam, facing the road." Zuo Shouyi said: "There is only a half-human-high earthen wall in the front, nothing can be reached, and there is a breach on the top, so you can enter casually." ”

"Shall we enter from the entrance of the village?" Li Ersan leaned over.

Zuo Shouyi pushed him away and said, "Soft eggs, get out of the way." ”

Li Ersan's nose suddenly became sore, and tears almost fell, protesting: "I'm not a soft egg after I passed the new barracks!" ”

Zuo Shouyi ignored him and continued: "Brother Shi, when it gets dark, let's hang ourselves from the mountain beam, and kill the one who waits for the vigil." Changed their armor and ......"

"Set fire?" Shi Xinsheng said excitedly.

- Set your grandmother's fire! There is no sulfur and no firewood, and there are all mud houses underneath, and there will be ghosts when they burn up!

Zuo Shouyi scolded secretly in his heart, but he was afraid that he would have to go to the soup with Shi Xinsheng and share life and death, so naturally he would not be as rude as he was to Li Ersan. He said in a good voice: "Brother Shi, this is it, I'm afraid I can't afford to put a big enough fire." We changed their armor, put out the fire, and stole the horses. Hey, softie, you wait outside the village and flee south with your horses! ”

Li Ersan was quite aggrieved, and hummed reluctantly.

Zuo Shouyi glanced at him, and once again cast his gaze on the sketched diagram. (To be continued......)
