Heibo Village is almost here, and I saw two black tapir statues as high as more than ten zhang in the distance, standing on both sides of the city gate of Heibo Village, which is the totem of the Heibo tribe.

"Dao Weishen, are you afraid?" asked Xiao Bushan.

This is the method that Jiang Ning came up with.

If you don't want to, it's not just that you covet those loot, but also Dao Hanqing, if you don't have a good way to forcibly attack Heibo Village, Dao Hanqing will probably not be able to come back.

This approach is a bit complicated.

When the deep winter came, the officers and soldiers of the battalions were stationed in various forts outside the city, and there was nothing. Of course, next year's summer harvest will be much better, at least there will be no need for food and grass supplies from the city. But not this year.

Let's start with the East Fourth Fort.

The forces in the city cannot be moved casually, otherwise it will arouse the vigilance of the Youxiong family. With the power of their family, if they want to investigate, most of them can find out. As long as the Heibo clan confirms that Licheng has attacked them, and has made preparations in advance, the chances of victory are almost minimal.

Now there are 37 battalions of officers and soldiers in Licheng, 18 battalions are stationed in various forts outside the city, and there are 19 battalions in the city.

First, the officers and soldiers of the 19th Battalion in the city were secretly screened, and the strongest 10th Battalion and the weakest 9th Battalion were singled out.

First, let the weakest officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion escort the supplies to Dongsi Fort, and then return to Licheng after sending them off. Anyway, they are idle, and it is impossible to use the people, this is a very normal transfer, and no one will doubt it.

After the officers and men of the 9th Battalion left, the 4th East Battalion immediately reorganized the troops of each battalion as quickly as possible, and scattered the officers and men of the 5 battalions, with the strongest being organized into two temporary teams and the weaker ones into three teams.

The three teams of soldiers and horses continued to stay in the East Fourth Battalion, although the snow was heavy, and there were some sporadic caravans and adventurers, passing by the various forts. Three squads of officers and men remained, at least it seemed, that their numbers had not decreased. Could it be that these caravans dared to enter the barracks in the fort and inquire about the number of people one by one? Not only that, but also the people of the Xiong family came, they did not have this right. On the surface, it looks like a lot, and you can hide it from the world.

The two strongest teams were secretly drawn, and even Jiang Ning thought that the soldiers were not expensive, but the most important was the fine, which was better.

A total of eight teams of officers and soldiers secretly infiltrated each fort before dawn, but instead of Hijri City, they inserted a small path into the southern four forts.

At the same time, Licheng sent the remaining ten battalions of officers and soldiers to escort supplies to Nansi Fort.

This is also normal.

It's cold, and it's very hard to escort and supply, so since everyone is idle together, let's take turns escorting.

The route of the march on both sides can be seen as an irregular triangle, one is to take both sides of the triangle, and the other is to take a straight line.

However, the officers and men of the Eighth Brigade who walked in a straight line were all small roads, and now the fields are full of ice and snow, so they cannot be called roads. Also far away from the various wastelands, this line will be very slow. There is another road, directly before the battle began, the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion followed the northeast direction and directly approached the Heibo Village, but they could not reach it at all in half the night, so they could only walk during the day, and there was a possibility of being discovered if they walked during the day. This area in the northeast has close contacts with the Heibo people, and as long as it is discovered and the Heibo people are alerted, the whole plan will fail.

It is also possible to find it in the southeast direction, but if it is discovered, no matter what the various wastelands in the southeast think, will they be alert, and they will not do anything to them anyway.

So it took a big turn.

Among all the soldiers and horses transferred, there is no doubt that these eight teams of officers and soldiers are the hardest.

Because of this situation, even if the officers and men of the 10th Battalion sent supplies to Nansi Fort, they did not arrive at Nansi Fort. When the officers and men of the 8th Brigade arrived at the second fort of the South Fourth Fort, the officers and men of the 9th Battalion, which were relatively weak in the city, were dispatched again to escort supplies to the West 5th Fort. On the other side, the officers and men of the South Fourth Fort did the same, and drew out the strongest officers and soldiers of the eight teams, and together with the eight teams of officers and soldiers of the East Fourth Fort, a total of 16 teams of officers and soldiers, set off for the West Fifth Fort.

After the officers and men of the 9th Battalion returned, the officers and men of the 16th Brigade arrived at the 3rd Fort of the West 5th Fort. Continuing to concoct the same method, it has become 18 officers and soldiers at this time, although the sum is less than the strength of the 4th battalion, but it is the essence of the officers and soldiers of the 13th battalion.

Finally, the officers and soldiers of the 10th Battalion, who were relatively strong in the city, were escorted and supplied to the North Fifth Fort, and the normal escort ...... And even if they are taken together, they are only the officers and soldiers of the fifteenth battalion.

On the other hand, there are more than 4,000 households and more than 20,000 people.

Once the officers and soldiers come to attack the village, needless to say, they will all be desperate. With the ferocity of the desolate tribe, when the time comes, half-grown children, older people, and women will all participate in the battle, plus there are some desolate bandits in the village, and the master is unknown, but the total strength can be quickly assembled to nearly 20,000 people.

This is also the embarrassment of many border prefectures and counties, knowing that the various tribes outside the city are unruly, but most of them turn a blind eye, because the cost of conquering them is too great, as long as it is not excessive, they all acquiesce in their existence and the way of existence.

At this point, no one will doubt it.

In fact, the North Five Fort has gathered nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it is the strongest nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.

With nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, he did not have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, so he came up with a borrowed army, borrowing four or five thousand, five or six thousand "virtual soldiers" out of thin air to strengthen his momentum.

This is a troop move, and there are people all the way.

There are about more than 100,000 households outside Licheng County, and no one can figure out how many there are, and there are no more than 150,000 households. There are more than 40,000 households living around Licheng City, including more than 80 households in Daojiabao. The rest are scattered in remote places outside the city of Licheng County, and more than ninety out of five are barren people.

Not to mention the stolen goods of unknown origin, the trade of so many people, including the trade in the depths of the wasteland, is definitely not something that the bear family can eat. really ate this solitary food, no matter how powerful his family was, he had already been eradicated by the various families in Licheng.

Heibo Village is undoubtedly a big household, their production, their needs, not to mention stolen goods, is also a huge transaction number, in addition to the Xiong family, there should be other families to trade with them.

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, the elders of the Xiao Zhong family in the back also generously admitted that the two families would arrange people every year to bring the goods needed by the Heibo clan and other desolate clans in exchange for a large number of cattle, sheep and furs. Not only the Xiao Zhong family, but also many big families in the city have business dealings with various tribes.

Jiang Ning does not question whether it is right or wrong, and he has no right to ask questions, but his plan is based on this situation.

Can't be two, Xiao Zhong's two families come together, and it will make the Heibo clan suspicious.

In short, the Black Bo must not be allowed to have any suspicion before launching a formal attack.

The Xiao family discussed with several elders of the Zhong family for a while, and finally decided to let the Xiao family come forward.

When the weakest officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion escorted supplies to Dongsibao, the Xiao family released a rumor in the city, saying that there was a big merchant in Langzhou who ordered a large number of fur products from the Xiao family. Then he sent people to Heibo Village to have a grass conversation with the Heibo people.

It's a rough talk, and the approximate price is negotiated. The specific price can only be negotiated depending on the goods.

Generally speaking, the Desolate Race is rustic, and often the Terran merchants will suffer losses when they trade. However, the Heibo tribe secretly colluded with the Youxiong family and colluded with the bandits, they were not only fierce, but also gradually infected with the bad habits of many human profiteers.

If there is really this order, the Xiong family will also quickly notify the Heibo clan, and the Heibo clan is not easy to say that the price starts from the ground and asks for the sky, but the price will increase. It doesn't matter, no matter how much they go up...... And the price increase is just right, because the caravan that escorts the commercial goods to trade must find an excuse to stay in Heibo Village, and the price has risen, and the goods will bargain when they arrive in Heibo Village, and there will be an excuse.

The grass is negotiated, and it's time to trade. It is impossible for the Heibo tribe to send people to carry a large herd of cattle and sheep into the city to trade, and the Xiao family can only go to Heibo Village with commercial goods.

The number of transactions is huge, and the number of escorts will also be large.

They can take the opportunity to install many officers and soldiers in the country, and these officers and men must have two prerequisites: they must be bold enough and smart. The cultivation can't be bad, it can't be too high, it's too high, and the people of the Heibo tribe will doubt it.

Because the price of the Heibo clan will inevitably rise, the people sent by the Xiao family will also return to Licheng from time to time to ask the family for instructions, and they can get in and out, and they can communicate with each other.

When the forces were basically mobilized, the operation began.

The Heibo people produce countless horses, cattle and sheep a year, and these livestock cannot be killed in autumn, and they themselves eat mainly meat, although in the depths of winter, there will be many livestock in the Heibo village.

If there are many livestock, a lot of forage will be prepared.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to trade, bargain and stay in Heibo Village, send people to make some secret observations, and then make an appointment with the assembled army. It was freezing cold, and at night, the wilderness was silent, and not even a ghost could be found.

When the appointed date arrived, the army could sneak into Heibo Village for twenty miles and ten miles without realizing it, waiting for news from the village.

The Xiao family took these people out in the middle of the night and divided them into two, one went to the Heibozhai forage field to set fire, and the other went to the livestock shed to set fire to cut off the horse's reins.

At this time, these two groups of people will be dangerous. However, as long as the fire is lit, and the frightened livestock are running wildly in the village, the Heibo tribe will inevitably divide the hands to extinguish the fire and collect the frightened livestock, so these two groups of people will be in danger, but they will not be wiped out, and whether they can be dragged until the arrival of the army depends on the luck and cleverness of each person.

There will also be chaos in the village, and the army will be killed...... will inevitably take Heibo Village, and the price will not be too high.

However, Jiang Ning only told the elders of the two families Lu Weijiang and Xiao Zhong his plan, and before saying it, he asked them to make repeated assurances that they could not announce it to the public, which was the idea he came up with.

The situation is obvious, Licheng will inevitably attack the Heibo tribe, but it will not attack all the wastelands, let alone the Youxiong family.

The Xiao family is not afraid of the Xiong family, the Zhong family is not afraid of the Xiong family, and Lu Weijiang is even more afraid of the Xiong family, is he afraid?

Several people agreed, and General Lu Wei said again: "A plan is a plan, there will be changes, you are smart, sneak into Heibo Village with the Xiao family, and command the council." ”

Jiang Ning was confused, going around and around, how did he get around?

Right now, in addition to him, there are more than 300 carefully selected officers and soldiers, disguised as the Xiao family's subordinates, or invited helpers, Jiang Ning is slightly different, disguised as a small servant, is the identity of a small servant, and can stay by the side of several elders of the Xiao family.

Jiang Ning didn't answer, and his expression was not very happy.

This is deep into the tiger's den, who is not afraid.

It's already here, what should I do?

He was afraid, not nervous. Not only are others afraid, but many are a little nervous...... This is the biggest horse's foot, but until now, Jiang Ning and several elders of the Xiao family have not noticed it. Jiang Ning's displeasure was not because he was afraid, but because of another thing.

He had also dealt with the people of the Xiao family before, because many people in the Xiao family served as officials of various government departments in Licheng, and there were also generals of the Xiao family in Lichengwei, and their attitude towards him was a little arrogant, this is normal, these people are far higher in cultivation than him, and they are the family of Liupin, and they still want to be kind to him, how many people can be Xia Youliang?

This time, there were many people from the Xiao family, and in turn, there were many people whose cultivation was far inferior to him. The Xiao family's direct lineage and even the descendants of the concubine are just that, and there are many descendants of the Xiao family, and their tone of voice to him is also very arrogant.

"Looking at the leopard in the tube, I can see it a little, it seems that the people of the Xiao family are not good comrades, let alone good partners for cooperation. ”

The gates of the city of Heibo Village opened.

The Heibo tribe is an orthodox barren tribe, in addition to the protruding big mouth, full of thick hair, there is also a significant feature, they do not plow or weave, but they ride on various war horses all the year round, and the horses and sheep are encircled, so the limbs are short and strong.

The leader of the big man is the most typical desolate people, although the arms are short, but very strong, the muscles are almost twisted into pimples, although the weather is cold, he only wears a short vest, far away, it makes people feel a wild and fierce atmosphere.

Xiao Bushan whispered: "He is the Heibo patriarch Heibo Bapu. ”
