In the dense forest in the distance, a pillar of black smoke floated straight into the sky.

"Wolf smoke, that's wolf smoke! It shouldn't be this time!" the section chief's face changed suddenly.

It is not easy to use more than 3,000 officers and men to encircle and annihilate 2,000 bandits, even if the combat strength of officers and men is far superior to that of a rabble of bandits, one of the most crucial problems is how to coordinate the attack; if one of the officers and men encircled on all sides does not keep up in time, a large number of bandits may escape from the encirclement, and there are no instant communication tools such as radio and mobile phones in this world.

According to the instructions of the commander to the section chief and other 100 commanders, the teams first dispersed far around the battlefield, and as soon as the robbers defeated the Liu family's convoy, they launched a general siege with the wolf smoke as a signal.

And now, not only did the robbers not defeat the Liu family's convoy, but even the officers and soldiers did not rush to their respective established positions!

Taking the section chief's 100-man team as an example, their team was going to attack from the west of the battlefield as planned, and among the teams, they were not far away, but they had not yet reached the target location, and those who needed to go to a farther place could not go now? In other words, the current encirclement was only formed on three sides at most!

Something must have happened! Uncle Electrician also thought of it, but it was better to be the boss here, and no matter how difficult the situation was, he didn't have to think of a way by himself, just open his mouth: "Section chief, what should we do now?"

The section chief frowned, walked back and forth in the forest a few times, pulled out his waist knife, and said: "The military order is like a mountain, since it has long been decided to raise the smoke as the number, then no matter what, we have to go on anyway, anyway, how many can we kill, put the side tasks and try to pick a master to kill in the first place, as for whether we can encircle and annihilate, don't worry about our!"

······

"What's the matter with the wolf smoke!" the Commander's face contorted in extreme anger, and he shouted angrily at the soldiers who had returned from the investigation.

The soldier fell on his knees and reported to the Lord General that he had gone back to investigate.

“··· There should be bandits hiding in the forest, and after our army crossed, I killed the two brothers who were in charge of lighting the wolf smoke behind, and now the wolf smoke has been extinguished, but the bandits are still searching..."

"Waste, it's all waste!" the commander scolded again and again, he led thousands of soldiers from the main formation of the Chinese army, and he pushed through the forest in a straggler formation, and he could still leak the robbers without finding out, and what was even more outrageous was that two soldiers were killed in the back, and even the wolf smoke signal was lit!

The commander scolded and scolded, but he was also quickly thinking of a remedial plan in his heart, first of all, this skyrocketing wolf smoke burned for more than half an hour, and now even if it is extinguished, the robbers, officers and soldiers within a radius of 100 miles have also seen it, and it is absolutely impossible to follow the original plan, but the plan for now...

"Idiot, who told you to extinguish the wolf smoke, quickly send someone to light it again, and then the whole army will speed up and march quickly, and go straight to the battlefield!"

······

Zhao Li squatted down and wiped the blood in his palm on the black clothes of Zhang Guangyou, who fell to the ground motionless, and then stood up, as for the corpse of Elder Zhang Xiang, he lay a few steps behind him.

"If you want to say that this cracked mountain is not good, if you go down with one palm, the opponent will have your skin and flesh open, but you have also been splashed with blood, can't you change it to the effect of fighting cattle across the mountain?" Zhao Li said dissatisfiedly, and then smiled at Shi Yongnian, who was trembling with fear.

"Please understand, senior brother always has to pay the price for talking too much when others are fighting, and I also came out to mix, saying that if I want to kill him, then I must kill him. Zhao Li explained two more sentences to Shi Yongnian, and then looked behind Shi Yongnian very strangely: "What is that?"

When Shi Yongnian heard this, he suddenly felt a burst of warmth from his lower body, and he was scared to pee, he hadn't forgotten how Zhang Guangyou was played to death.

First of all, Elder Zhang Xiang didn't do what Zhang Guangyou thought, he couldn't hold on for a while after knowing the true realm of Zhao Li's True Qi in the Split Mountain, but he just exchanged a few palms with Zhao Li—never more than ten palms, and then shouted in his mouth, "You are not a gossip palm, what kind of palm is it!" and then he was slapped to death by Zhao Li.

Then Zhao Li walked up to Senior Brother Zhang Guangyou with a body of blood, and coldly ordered: "Kneel down and apologize, I can consider letting you go." ”

Shi Yongnian still remembered Zhang Guangyou's frightened eyes, and the latter knelt on the ground without hesitation and begged Zhao Li loudly for mercy. As a result, Zhao Li actually said: "It's so spineless, it's better to be killed." Then another slap slapped Zhang Guangyou to death.

"Brother Zhao, please let me go..." The title changed from Senior Brother Zhao to Brother Zhao, big tears rolled down Shi Yongnian's eyes, his neck seemed to be petrified, and he didn't dare to look behind at all, for fear of being slapped to death by Zhao Li.

"Tell me what's going on, or I'll shoot you right now. Zhao Li said again.

Shi Yongnian's heart was crossed, just that, it was better to be killed in front of him than to be killed in the back, so he turned his head and looked behind him, it was a pillar of black smoke that went straight to the sky.

"This, this..." With just one glance, Shi Yongnian's mouth opened wide, and even the fear brought by Zhao Li was diluted: "This, this is a wolf, wolf smoke!"

"Wolf smoke?"

"This is the wolf smoke of the government! There must be officers and soldiers from the imperial court who have come to encircle and suppress it!" Shi Yongnian exclaimed.

Wolf smoke is not really smoke burned with wolf dung as raw materials, although wolf dung can indeed be burned, but the smoke column is by no means so dark and straight.

This kind of black, straight pure wolf smoke, the materials are exquisite, the formula is only in the hands of the Daheng court, and it is necessary to use yellow wool, red willow, rhizome grass and many specially prepared fuels, so that the water can not be extinguished, the smoke does not disperse, this wolf smoke is also one of the symbols of officers and soldiers.

"Officers and soldiers?" Zhao Li's brows also began to wrinkle slowly, this is not a good situation, as long as he is dressed in black now, he must also be the target of encirclement and suppression.

"Officers and soldiers!"

"Officers and soldiers are coming!"

The group of thieves who were fighting fiercely with the Liujia Qianzhuang convoy at the forefront also found the sky-high smoke column, everyone was chased and beaten by the officials and soldiers all the year round, just by looking at the smoke column signal, you can know who is coming.

"Second son, there are officials and soldiers coming! Quickly order to withdraw!" Beside the second son of the Zhang family, an elder said anxiously, officers and soldiers will not deliberately light wolf smoke in order to remind the robbers, this wolf smoke rises, which means that there may be officers and soldiers pouring out from all directions at any time.

"Damn! It's been hard to fight until now, these dart masters are almost dead! I'm not reconciled!" Zhang Ergongzi's eyes were about to split, and at the same time, he once again knocked over a dart master.

"Stay in the green mountains again, don't be afraid of no firewood, second son, now the army's heart is scattered!" the elder stepped forward and grabbed the second son and persuaded him loudly.
