At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was about to set. In the afterglow, the farmers in the fields began to return home with their farming tools and oxen, and the people who left the city also returned to the city, and the roads became scarce. The streets are deserted, and shops are closing. Merchants at the horse market are also on their way home.

At the end of the day, Zhou Qingfeng led the guards out of the nest, and all the staff left Fushun on horseback or in a carriage. A lean procession of more than 200 people passed through the city gate and quickly disappeared. No one knows what they're going to do? No one knows where they're going?

A few veteran soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the smoke and dust raised by the team as they left, and at most envied the strong horses of the other party, but they didn't bother to ask what happened. When the team runs away, no one cares anymore. After all, during this time, Zhou Baihu often led the team out of the city for training, and even forced the guards to open the door and go out of the city to do some 'training' at night.

After leaving the city, the guards first crossed the Hun River in the south, passed through the Fushun Pass, and then headed east to Salhu. When night falls, the speed of the team slows down. A small number of soldiers lit torches to provide a faint illumination and keep the team from stray from the road.

Zhou Qingfeng rode the giant wolf in the middle of the team to ensure that his military array link covered as wide a range as possible. Li Shuwei followed behind in a carriage with the cooking and medical teams. Xu Bing took the black warrior in front anyway. The four wolf cubs and the Human-Faced Demon form a vanguard to ensure that no enemies are approaching around the team.

Due to the frequent passage of caravans, the road to Sarhu was fairly smooth. Nurhachi has not yet repaired the city in the Jiefan Mountain of Sarhu, and there is no warning on this way. The sound of horses' hooves and wheels travels far and wide at night, but they don't worry about being discovered.

When he was about to approach Salhu City, Zhou Qingfeng looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist, and the luminous surface pointed to half past eight in the evening. After a three-hour march of sixty miles on horseback, he was still very satisfied with this speed. The soldiers were still in good shape, but the horses were a little tired.

"Stop moving, dismount, extinguish your torches, and be quiet. Set up sentinels, count the number of people, feed the horses water and beans. All soldiers eat a pill of Bigu Dan to restore their strength. We rest for half an hour. Zhou Qingfeng gave the order in the military formation, and the team quickly stopped and rested on the side of the road. The officers began to count the number of people and report on their squads. Occasionally, soldiers spoke, and they were also reprimanded in a low voice by the squad leader and other key personnel, and all the staff hid in the dark.

There were only a few stars in the sky, and the dense wooded roads were pitch black. The soldiers carried with them bags of beans for the horses, and the pouches could be opened to feed the horses. Feed with water after feeding. All soldiers are trained to be grooms, and in the current war environment, horses still play a big role, and it is very important to maintain the physical strength of horses.

Because the light was too dim, the lighting could only pass through the fire fold in the hands of the squad leader and deputy squad leader. Zhou Qingfeng patrolled back and forth in the team to make sure everything was under control. He walked to the back team, smiled low to Li Shuwei and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Li Shuwei shrugged, "I'm still in good spirits, but I don't know what will happen?" If I can't get into battle today, I'll just do logistics in the future and don't cause you any trouble. ”

Zhou Qingfeng laughed twice, and then turned around and went to the front team. Xu Bing heard his footsteps, turned his head from the side of the road and asked, "I am also participating in the big war for the first time, what do you say will be waiting for us ahead?" ”

"I asked Guo Jiao to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance every day in the past few days, and I am basically sure that there is no special situation in Gule Mountain. There was probably a Niulu with a population of 300 stationed there, and two teams of soldiers with 100 people were specially transferred to guard it. There may be a few tricky characters out there, but I'm sure I'll be able to deal with them. ”

Without Guo Budo's spiritual support, Zhou Qingfeng would not be able to use 'Road Rage' for a long time. The number of his prayers recovered well, although the qi sea of the dantian could only meet the power supply for about ten seconds, but he was not without other supplements. "Guo Jiao gave me a few high-level talisman seals, and I can still fight them if necessary."

Xu Bing nodded and said no more. After a half-hour break, the team hit the road again. But at this moment, they have entered the enemy territory, and there may be Jurchen sentry posts in front, so the team no longer lights torches, but finds a few ropes to lead back and forth, and the marching speed decreases again.

This time, Zhou Qingfeng led the way in front, and the human-faced demon floated around in the dark environment, which could be called the best scout. The four wolf cubs no longer ran around, but quietly advanced in the woods a hundred meters in front of the team, sending back some messages from time to time.

In this world, the Dahuofang Reservoir in Fushun has not yet been established, and the Suzi River turns near Salhu City to join the Hunhe River. With its high mountains, narrow roads and extremely dense vegetation, it is the only way to get from Fushun to Hetuala. There were several crossings on the road, and the personnel on duty were easily taken down in the sneak attack. Sarhun is a nuisance.

It is said to be a city, but in fact it is just a small village. At present, there are no people stationed in the stockade, but it is a problem to take it down. Not to mention the time-consuming, there is no oil and water, and it affects the attack on Gule Mountain.

In order not to cause trouble, Zhou Qingfeng released multiple silencers in succession, temporarily erasing the noise caused by the team's march. In addition, he did not carry torches, and no one knew that such a small procession passed in front of the stockade in the dark night.

After Salhu, the first fifteen miles ahead is Gule Mountain. Zhou Qingfeng looked at the time, he should be able to arrive on time at eleven o'clock in the night, so he was more careful about this. Because the silencer could not be used for a long time, he could only be a 'human title, a horse cage', allowing the wheels to roll forward, and at the same time open the eyes of the sky to maintain a high degree of vigilance, discerning the dangers that may arise in the mountains at night.

As the team came along the road along the banks of the Suzi River to an open river beach, the target to be attacked tonight was revealed under the front of the guards. Zhou Qingfeng rode a giant wolf up a low slope by the river, torches were lit in the stockade hundreds of meters away, and rafts floating down from the upstream were carrying grain one after another—the war preparations of the Dajin Kingdom were also in full swing.

The camp on the banks of the river was on the banks of the river, and hundreds of slaves toiled all night under the whip on the rudimentary docks. Zhou Qingfeng picked up the bronze telescope, and after a while, his heartbeat couldn't stop accelerating-the entire village opened wide in order to receive grain and grass, except for a few overseers, there were not a few enemy soldiers on the wall. The enemy is not on guard in the slightest, and is absolutely careless.

God help me!

"All dismounted, the soldiers lined up, and the auxiliaries put armor on the soldiers." Zhou Qingfeng turned around and gave an order in the military array link. The 200 or so people behind the low slope immediately went into action. The reason why he brought auxiliary soldiers such as cooking classes was not to cook, but to do auxiliary work for the soldiers.

The carriage was opened, and a set of syruped armor was brought out. These armors are not lightweight, and they are too physically demanding to wear all the time, and they will only be worn before the battle. By the light of a dozen fire folds, three platoons of soldiers began to line up, and every two auxiliaries carried armor for one soldier to wear, and all of them moved quickly and quickly.

Zhou Qingfeng pinched the time, the moment before the outbreak of the war was the most difficult, and every minute and second was anxious. This kind of sneak attack operation is too much of a test of the commander's patience and insight in capturing fighters, all of which is also a practical experience that Zhou Qingfeng cannot get from books.

In a few minutes, Zhou Qingfeng looked at the watch no less than ten times. He kept observing the battlefield, and even called the three platoon commanders to make a final environmental confirmation and combat instructions. And just as the battle preparations were about to be completed, the human-faced demon wandering around the perimeter suddenly issued a warning that an enemy patrol was approaching.

"Patrols? It seems that the Jurchen commanders stationed here are not too stupid. Zhou Qingfeng did not order the team to dodge, because after the team was deployed, it would not be possible to dodge at all. He only ordered the four wolf cubs to confirm the number and location of the enemy patrol, and he called Xu Bing and the black warrior up, ready to kill them together. The battle is about to start, and there is no longer a need for strict secrecy.

The Jurchen patrol consisted of only five people and walked along the riverbank with torches. Zhou Qingfeng recruited several female soldiers who were good at bows and arrows, and pointed at the enemy who was slowly approaching. The female soldiers immediately bent their bows and arrows, and the bowstrings were pulled apart with the clanging of clanging sounds.

When the enemy came within twenty meters, it seemed that the sound of strings was heard in the wind. The leader stopped and raised his torch to look out in the darkness, making him an obvious target.

"Shoot him." Zhou Qingfeng shouted.

Several arrows whizzed out of the string, and the distance of twenty meters was instantaneous. The leader of the torch was pierced by a heavy arrow and fell to the ground on the spot, and two of the first four people were also shot.

But the Jurchen patrol who was hit by the arrow screamed, and the black warrior who was lying in ambush threw himself out with a big sword, and with a wave of the blade, he cut off the head of one person. The other person was constantly hit by Xu Bing's arm crossbow, and he shot through the chest with a puff, and he couldn't make a sound when his breath was released.

In the end, the two saw the opportunity quickly, and turned around and ran away when they saw that something was wrong. But the four wolf cubs ran faster, pounced on them and bit them by the throat, and they fell to the ground and convulsed after three or two bites.

The fallen torch was still burning, and Zhou Qingfeng rode the giant wolf without grabbing the opportunity to mend the knife, so he could only kick the torch into the Suzihe River on the side. But just as the banks of the river fell into darkness and silence again, a cacophony of human voices sounded on the hillside in the distance. It didn't take long for a cannon to be heard.

The rumbling sound was like a thunderous .......

Li Shuwei was shocked when he heard the sound of artillery behind him, and hurriedly came up and asked what was going on?

Zhou Qingfeng, who came back from riding a wolf, only replied coldly: "It's nothing, it was discovered by the enemy's secret sentinel." You take your auxiliaries and press the line, ready for a second wave of attacks, or to take us in the retreat. ”

"Trumpeter, blow the trumpet." Zhou Qingfeng shouted to the personnel who had already completed their combat preparations: "All the combatants obey the order, follow me to the assault, and take the stockade in front." Annihilate any enemies who dare to resist and wash your boots with their blood. ”
