On the third day of Su Daosan's land attack, Liu Maosheng and arrived in the hinterland of Hedong, along the way, day and night, it was inevitable that the news was discovered by the surrounding counties.

But Liu Maosheng used a method of mixing fish eyes and beads, and directly played the banner.

"Henan Provincial Garrison Liu!"

No one recognized whose soldiers and horses they were, but seeing that there were only 2,000 people, and that they were under the banner of the imperial court, no one cared anymore. After all, more is better than less. And the night march also became a day march. No one dared to provoke this group of cavalrymen who were clearly dressed and armed to the teeth, and the commander of the militia group understood that he was on empty salary, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and he had to wait for a good life.

But on the fourth day, they were in crisis for the first time.

"You guys, report your name, which general is under your command. "There were about ten scouts in a group, and the leader of the squad was standing in the distance, shouting a lightly armed scout.

Liu Maosheng recognized the person at a glance, it must be a cavalry scout from Beiyuan, because he had nothing on him except a horsewhip, and he didn't even wear armor.

Shi Yan came forward and shouted: "We are the garrison of the Tianyan Station in Henan Province. ”

"Celestial Performance?" the scout asked, then took a closer look.

Shi Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, my general's came early, and we were delayed. ”

The scout nodded, "Oh, don't go north, go northwest, and you'll be able to reach the camp." ”

"Yes! Yes!"

After Shi Yan and the scout finished speaking, the two of them went back to their own formations, and the scout whispered something to the captain, and here, Shi Yan asked a little nervously

"General, did he find something?"

Liu Maosheng's eyes flashed, this sneak attack could not be defeated, he couldn't tolerate the slightest carelessness, he whispered to Shi Yan: "Invite them to go together." After speaking, he beckoned to a few people behind him: "If they don't agree, they will be killed immediately." ”

Shi Yan stepped forward again, this time, the scout captain was obviously more vigilant, because he subconsciously flicked the horse's head. Shi Yan's hand was pressed on his waist, intentionally or unintentionally, where the two-headed snake was placed, and he shouted to the scout captain, "Brother, why don't we go together! No need to go any further. ”

The scout captain's expression remained unchanged, but he made a small move to the people around him, which meant that he would directly disperse and withdraw, but he said, "Okay!"

As soon as Shi Yan saw the gesture, he understood what the other party was thinking, and immediately pulled out the two-headed snake on his waist and threw it directly at the scout captain's horse, and even shouted: "Kill!"

Originally, the demon dragoons, who had heard that the scout captain had agreed, didn't say a word, and accelerated forward to catch up.

Shi Yan's two-headed snake was almost a hundred shots at close range, and although the scout captain was the elite of Kitahara, he was directly tied to the horse's legs under this blow, and one was thrown out directly with an unstable body.

Shi Yan didn't shoot arrows directly with his bow, but continued to speed up, because he saw that a Northern Plains cavalryman actually turned his horse's head to save people.

"This is the moment!"

"Whoosh!" an arrow rushed straight at the scout who turned his horse's head to save the man. The scout couldn't dodge and was shot off his horse.

"Little monkey. The scout captain was flawed, but he could only watch as he fell to the ground to save others and breathed like a catfish on the shore, but he couldn't catch the last tail of his life.

The battlefield presented a one-sided situation, and the arrows of the Demon Dragoon were too accurate and too fast, until the end, only the scout captain was left.

Liu Maosheng hit his horse to the front, and the scout captain had already recognized the comer. He looked at Liu Maosheng blankly, in the past, the entire Northern Plains regarded these people as idols, but now, they are swords and soldiers, and the demon dragon riders also seem to be a little uneasy because of this battle, what we did, is it really right?

"Why?" The scout captain looked at Liu Maosheng, with tears in his eyes when his comrade-in-arms was killed, and his idol collapsed in front of his eyes, and his heart was like ashes.

Although Liu Maosheng was a talker, as he became the commander and the commander of the Demon Dragoon, his words were gradually controlled less, and in the face of his former comrades-in-arms, he opened his mouth and said nothing.

Shi Yan asked, "What should I do?"

"Kill me!" the scout captain shaved his hands behind his back, but he still struggled.

"Tie him up and take him on his way. Wei Lan ordered, and Liu Maosheng acquiesced.

The scouts' horses had been gathered, and the corpses had been gathered together by the Dragoons, but instead of being set on fire, they were piled up.

Liu Maosheng muttered to himself, as if to say to himself, and also to the scout captain: "In this battle, many people may die, maybe no one will bury them." If we win, you can come back and bury them. ”

"Humph!" the scout captain snorted coldly and stopped talking.

According to Zhan Qili's information, Liu Maosheng's men soon arrived at the outskirts of Shangyu County, the camp of Sanliang and Cao, Sudao. And, send scouts to the surroundings, led by Wei Lan. When the scouts were dispatched, it was already evening, and arson, naturally, was at night, and it was best when the defenders were slack, and Liu Maosheng was no exception.

Everything went according to plan, and Wei Lan's scouts found a large number of ruts and tender green seedlings sprinkling grain on the east and west sides of the county, which already said it all.

In the evening, back in the group, Wei Lan began to introduce all the information she had discovered

"Shangyu County is not allowed to enter or exit now, and it is impossible to enter without the pass issued by Su Daosan. When I came here just now, I saw a team of grain trucks, presumably with a pass, general, we might as well hijack the grain trucks now and blend in. ”

"Is the city high?"

"More than three meters. We can't get by. ”

Liu Maosheng touched his chin and frowned, if it was heavily defended, it would be too risky just to sneak in. In case there is another password or something, it may be a surprise.

"Do nothing. Let's wait until night, lock in with a hook, and open the gates. The garrison of Shangyu is now guarded by Su Daosan's cronies, and the relatives of the capital, you all know what it is. ”

Liu Maosheng's words determined the direction of the battle, and Wei Lan no longer objected.

The scout's eyes widened as he listened, "You want to burn grain and grass?"

Liu Maosheng squinted at the scout captain and asked, "What's your name?"

The scout captain turned his head and didn't speak, but Shi Yan quickly took out the black token in his arms: "Gao Xun!"

Liu Maosheng nodded, looked at the other party's age and asked, "Lao Ling named it for you?"

mentioned Lao Ling, it is the lingering memory of the veterans of Longquanguan now, an admirable logistics officer. From the period of King Qi, Chen Yuanhou has been the handsome.

The scout captain nodded, and Liu Maosheng said: "His name is Shi Yan, my name is Liu Maosheng, our names are all from Lao Ling, do you know why we came to Hexi?"

"You want to rebel. ”

Liu Maosheng smiled and said: "Yes! Who is the rebellion? I never thought that I could come this far." But along the way, did you see how the people of Hexi were doing?"

Gao Xun said coldly: "That's not what you did. ”

"We?" Wei Lan sneered: "Please use your brains, those people have yellow faces and thin muscles, can we be hungry in a few days?"

Gao Xun was a little uncomfortable: "But you shouldn't do this." You are the Dragoon, the symbol of glory. ”

Wei Lan said: "Yes, we are a symbol of glory and a magic dragon horseman, but we are not bargaining chips and watchdogs for the power of the officials and princes of the DPRK and China. What did they do? Have you taken a closer look? Those old mines in Xiaoqishan have more stones than ore, and they have made those people as mine slaves for some money, why did the Hexi army run with us, and why did the people want to follow us? Have you ever thought about it?"

"But General Huang. ”

"You mean the scalper? Hmph! The old scalper is a good man, so he was played by Guo Dayong and the third prince. If this is defeated, I will let you go, let you take the cavalry of the Northern Plains to the old mines of Xiaoqi Mountain, and then go to Star City to find Yan Fucheng, and ask the slaves who were released by us to transport timber and coal to the Northern Plains what they say. ”

That's it, no need to say more. Gao Xun stopped talking, and Liu Maosheng also patted Wei Lan's shoulder, and said that the position was enough.

That night, on the top of the moon, the cattle in the Chinese army camp had not yet rested, and the scouts who were released were responsible for ensuring the safety of the grain road. A group of scouts arrived, but Gao Xun's scout did not return to the camp at the scheduled time. It stands to reason that this is a violation of military regulations.

"Is there something going on?"

The scalper looked at the map and asked his subordinates the direction of Gao Xun's search, then put a sign on the map and frowned.

Liu Maosheng's department has disappeared for a few days, which is definitely not like others who are optimistic that Liu Maosheng has given up, or he can't find the point of attack, he has always thought that there is something missing.

"Where?"

The scalper is not Qi Lu, not a general who is good at military strategy like Li Bing and Li Hao, he is a brave general, since the king of Qi guarded Longquan Pass, he is the centurion of Longquan Pass, along the way, from the commander to the general, dozens of years have passed. Even if he is compared to a rising star, the old scalper does not feel embarrassed, but is happy to bring the younger generations.

But this time, different, he is now going to be on his own. The information was right in front of him, but he patted his head and looked at it for a long time and didn't come up with a problem.

"Is it really running away, or is there some kind of trouble?"

Although there are various reasons to explain it, the more I think about it, the more the scalper feels that something is wrong, not in thinking, but in feeling. After many years of galloping on the field, the scalper is very sure of his feelings.

"Take a hundred people, go and search in this direction to see if there are any clues, and remember, if the situation is not right, sound the horn immediately. ”

The scalper eventually gave the order to search, and even so, it didn't settle his mind.

The centurion led the team away, but it was only a few dozen miles, and in less than an hour on horseback, he could reach the place where Gao Xun was searching.

"Look around, is there anything unusual?" The centurion was very calm, he didn't think there would be any danger in this big rear, could it be that he had encountered a thief?

Just when the centurion was bored, one of his captains hurriedly returned: "There is a situation. ”

Sure enough, they were still found, and the bodies of the dozens of scouts were neatly placed on the grass, next to them, along with their weapons. The centurion recognized it at a glance, removed the arrow stuck in his body, and his pupils shrank

"No! it's a dragon rider. ”

"Dragoon?"

"Their arrows, only the arrows of the Demon Dragon Rider have such strength. Whistle quickly. ”

"Bang!"

There was a bang, and in the sky, bright fireworks suddenly appeared, and those who were not far away saw it, passed it in turn, all the way, the fireworks exploded, until the Chinese cavalry battalion of the cattle saw it.

Liu Maosheng was resting with the Demon Dragon Rider, however, after a while, he saw the whistle explode in the distance.

"It was discovered. Liu Maosheng looked at the direction in which the whistle exploded, and knew that it must be that the scout had not yet returned to the camp and was discovered, he just reported a fluke, and he still couldn't escape.

Wei Lan is also extremely nervous, at this moment, it is the most critical moment, as long as they wait until the night is a little deeper, and there are more people to sleep, they can raid Shangyu County and burn the grain and grass.

"Advance action?"

Liu Maosheng glanced at the people around him, gritted his teeth and said, "Act in advance." If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. ”
