Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

The wild duck in the reeds was frightened and sprang out, flapping its wings and flying farther away.

The faces of dozens of Houjin detectives were wantonly showing that kind of unstoppable smile.

Just an hour or half an hour ago, they found a few homes on the north side of the reeds. After the killing, the men and children of those families fell in pools of blood.

The only one who survived was the woman who was chained to the back of the horse.

These families in the reeds were originally also the people of Jincheng. Since the destruction of Jincheng, they have taken refuge in the reeds.

Originally, such a day was leisurely, and as long as they were careful, there would be no danger.

After all, after Jincheng was ruined, Houjin also lost interest in this place, so he wouldn't send someone here at all.

So, it's a good idea to hide in the reeds.

In recent years, the wildlife resources in the north are very rich, and the various wild animals in the reeds alone are enough to feed these families.

In addition, they can also secretly go to the territory of Goryeo, and exchange their prey for some daily necessities and salt with the Koreans, and they live a very leisurely life.

However, since Zhao Hongyu arrived in Jincheng and began to rebuild Jincheng, Jincheng has gradually become lively.

Therefore, this must also attract the attention of Houjin.

With the passage of time, as well as the feedback from the intelligence of the Houjin Scout, the high-level officials of the Houjin found that Jincheng had suddenly become a rich place.

Grandma's, since she is rich, then Lao Tzu robbed it.

The thinking of the post-Kim executives is simple.

However, there is still a lot of work to be done on the Houjin side before the military operation against Jincheng.

For example, to reconnoiter the military strength and deployment here in Jincheng. Master the military strength of Jincheng.

Therefore, a large number of Houjin scouts were sent to the vicinity of Jincheng, so that the Ming people who were originally hiding around Jincheng were unlucky.

They don't believe in the 'Daming' officials, and they are afraid of the barbarians of the Houjin, they just want to live such a life without fighting with the world.

However, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Moreover, these people scattered around Jincheng know that the current people here in Jincheng are not the imperial court at all.

But. Nor can these people be blamed for thinking like this.

After all, there are too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the Ming Dynasty, which is really unaffordable.

These people have been hiding for so many years, and it can be said that they have lived the most comfortable days.

There is no oppression by the landlords and officials, and there are not so many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

So, even if Jincheng starts to build. But these people are still reluctant to leave their places of residence.

In this regard, Zhao Hongyu understands very well. Didn't embarrass these people at all.

Just the consequences of doing so. It's scary.

After the Jin Detective rode to investigate Jincheng, the piggybackers would cause damage to these scattered people's homes.

Looting, killing, for these post-gold detectives, it is simply a commonplace.

After dozens of Houjin detectives rushed out of the reeds, they found a place where the reeds were not so dense, and then stiffened the war horses under their crotches.

A few guys who seemed to be small bosses surrounded a man who seemed to have some identity. The remaining dozens of people began to move things off their horses. And began to make a fire and bury the pot.

The unconscious woman was thrown aside, apparently not wanting to do anything to her now.

The expressions on the faces of these post-Jin detectives were very relaxed, and they kept talking and laughing at each other in the busyness. From time to time, unbridled laughter erupted, and birds flew out of the dense reeds in the distance.

Most of the people were busy, and the little leaders of the scouts were talking.

"Adalee, we've been out for a while. It seems that the Ming people here in Jincheng are not very tightly defended, should we continue to get closer? ”

A lean middle-aged man with a two-handful mustache said to a man with a burly and majestic face.

The man with the national character face is called Adali, and he is the little leader of this scout.

A person like him is not a person with a high status in Houjin at all.

It is precisely because of this that the middle-aged man with the beard will call him by his name.

Adali didn't care at all about this.

They are all banner people who belong to the Zhenglan Banner, and their families live very close to each other, so they are all neighbors.

They are all very familiar people, so they don't pay so much attention to it.

"What do you think of Darlan's proposal?"

Adali did not respond to Mustache's proposal, but threw out Mustache's proposal and left it to everyone to decide together.

There were five people gathered together, and they were the core of this scout team.

Basically, as long as the five of them unanimously make a decision, then they can decide the fate of this team.

The other scouts, who were not qualified to participate, were not interested in the things that the five of them were talking about, and they were still busy with their own business.

A proposed stove was set up with a large iron pot on it.

Someone had already started a fire, and puffs of black smoke began to spiral into the sky.

Some began to take a bag from their horses, from which they poured out some rice, while others came over with some dry food.

A few others took off their bows and arrows, and began to shoot fish at the water's edge.

I have to say that the northern land in this era has not been polluted and destroyed, and the ecological resources are really very rich.

The crucian carp the size of an adult's palm wandered in the reeds, so the scouts who caught the fish had a great harvest in a short time.

At this time, the three scouts who had disappeared into the reeds also returned with two wild ducks.

Looking at the abundant harvest, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.

Adali glanced at his busy companion in the distance, then withdrew his gaze.

"Ge Daming's team arrived at the city of Jincheng half a month ago, and made some very provocative actions to the Ming people of Jincheng, but the Ming people didn't have much reaction, and they were no different from the Ming people we met before. So I'm very much in favor of Darlan's proposal. We should get closer, I don't think it's dangerous. “

Soon, a relatively young-looking man spoke.

"I also agree, Akito are soft guys, so you don't have to worry too much about anything at all. There are sixty of us, even if we encounter hundreds of Ming troops, we don't have to be afraid, as long as one charge they will be scattered. “

Another guy agreed to Hu Dalan's proposal, and also mocked the Ming army with sarcasm.

However, you can't say that what he said is nonsense, basically the Ming army is like this when facing the Eight Banners many times.

Usually. You can see such scenes in various battlefields and battles of the Ming army and the Later Jin.

Three or four Eight Banner soldiers can chase the Ming army of two or three hundred everywhere...... This is definitely not a fabrication.

The soldiers of the Ming army were bullied in the army, and they were constantly oppressed by their superiors, and at the same time, they couldn't eat enough for a long time, and their body nutrition couldn't keep up. This is also the main reason.

In addition, the Eight Banners soldiers were wearing three pieces of cotton armor, and after rushing up, they were fierce and tight. Therefore, it is very normal for the Ming army to be defeated without fighting spirit.

The main thing is that everyone doesn't want to work hard.

But. There were many such situations, and the Eight Banners of Houjin gradually showed self-confidence and became more and more courageous.

On the other hand, the Ming army became weaker and weaker, and its combat effectiveness became lower and lower.

It's simply a disgusting cycle.

Even in the later period, several Eight Banner soldiers launched a charge against hundreds of Ming troops. The Ming army would turn around and flee at the same time as the enemy charged, and would not fight the other side at all.

It is precisely because of this that there will be the so-called saying that the Eight Banners are less than 10,000 and 10,000 are invincible.

In fact, anyone with a brain knows it. The problem here is very complicated, it's not that the Eight Banners are really so fierce, and their combat effectiveness breaks through the sky.

Everyone has one head and two arms, and there is no difference.

Seeing that everyone was in favor of Hu Dalan's proposal, Adali glanced at the big guy with a series of serious eyes.

At the end, he reminded everyone in a solemn tone: "Yes, the Ming army is indeed not terrible, and they are not even as good as lambs." At least the lamb knew that he would resist when he was going to be killed, but the Ming would only stretch his neck and wait for death. But ......"

Darlan and the others listened to Adali's words, and a smile gradually appeared on their faces.

However, before he could think about it, Adali said that there was a 'but' after the most deplorable.

But as any normal person knows, as long as there is a 'but' in any word, then there will be some unexpected changes.

So, Darlan's smile froze.

Unlike Adalee, Dalan and the others felt very envious when they heard half a month ago that the leader of another scout, Ge Damin, had actually arrived at the foot of Jincheng City with his people and had done something provocative to the Ming army.

Especially after Ge Da returned to Shengjing, he was rewarded heavily.

Therefore, they are called an envy and jealousy of hatred.

However, not everyone has the courage to do this.

Dozens of scout teams were very careful not to get close to Jincheng as much as possible.

The ghost knows if Ge Dachao has taken shit luck, and he is unscathed.

In any case, after the number of Ming troops in Jincheng was investigated, everyone knew that the number of Ming troops in Jincheng was about 30,000 or 40,000.

For example, these scouts and cavalry can deal with a small group of Ming troops, but once the Ming army dispatches most of the soldiers and horses, they can only escape.

Invincibility?

That's just bragging.13

Gordham was richly rewarded, and Darlan was quite envious.

Therefore, they also discussed in private, since Lao Ge can do it, why can't they do it.

So, there is today's proposal for Darlan.

But the problem is that if Adali, who is a little higher than the big guys, doesn't agree, the matter will become more troublesome.

Especially listening to the meaning of Adali's words, it seems that his thoughts are different from everyone else's.

"Adalee, what are you worried about?" , because he is usually very familiar with it, and he is a neighbor of the village, so Dalan does not pay too much attention to Adali's attitude.

Adali nodded, and continued.

"But please don't forget, our emperor three months ago suffered a crushing defeat under the Daming Jingshi City. And those who defeated him were very different from the Ming army in strange costumes and strange tactics......"

As soon as Adali said this, Darlan suddenly became thoughtful. (To be continued......)
