"Brother Qin is right! I agree! After hearing Qin Mo's proposal, Wang Ling immediately stood up and echoed, and then couldn't wait to clasp his fists at Ding Li and ask for his life: "Is it a mule or a horse, should it be pulled out for a walk!" The last general is willing to ask for troops to suppress bandits! Use this battle to raise the military might of our South China Navy! ”

Wang Ling is different from Qin Mo, although the latter surrendered from the rogue thief army, but at least he is a veteran who has seen blood on the battlefield, but Wang Ling is very different, he came to Guangzhou Port from Duanzhou to work as a coolie to make a living, he saw blood in his life, but he saw blood like Qin Mo, but what Wang Ling saw was the blood of his two brothers, and it was a pool of 'cold' blood.

Due to the rare opportunity to be appreciated by Ding Li and promoted to join the Southern Navy, Wang Ling worked hard for the hatred hidden in his heart, and what was in front of him was undoubtedly an opportunity for Wang Ling to prove his strength.

When he took a fancy to Wang Ling, Ding Li didn't want to let a person who had seen blood easily waste it in his own hands, and Ding Li had also talked with Wang Ling a few times, knowing that the other party was a person who hid hatred in his heart but was quite sensible. Before this, Wang Ling's actions did not disappoint Ding Li, and at this moment, Ding Li also realized that it was definitely the best time to exercise Wang Ling.

After thinking about it for a while, Ding Li raised his head and pressed his hand against Wang Ling to signal the other party to sit down, and then asked the other party in a deep voice: "For our Southern Navy, it is indeed necessary to suppress bandits, but do you have a certain understanding of the surrounding bandits?" ”

"I know this!" Xu Hongdeng, who was a little ashamed just now because of the mention of selling bed crossbows, raised his arm and rushed to speak, he naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to perform, not to mention, among the people present, Xu Hong was indeed the most vocal, and then Xu Hong stood up, swept over everyone in a blink of an eye, with a slight trace of pride in his eyes, and then proudly introduced to everyone: "In the area of Guangzhou Mansion, bandits are raging all year round, and there are nearly ten forces that occupy the rampant side of the mountain!" Among them, there are two mountains I have learned, one is Huojialing, and the other is Heifeng Cottage! And some of the remaining forces, compared to these two forces, are a little insignificant, if it weren't for their farther chassis and shorter tentacles, I'm afraid they would have been carved up and annexed by these two forces long ago! ”

Huojialing, according to the town of Sheephorn, is about 40 miles, and there are nearly 1,000 bandits in the cottage. Heifeng Cottage, according to the town of Giethoorn is about 60 miles, compared with Huojialing, there are only a lot more bandits gathered, and they are the two largest bandit forces in the area of Guangzhou Prefecture.

It's just that the two are different, the former is known as a hero in the green forest, while the latter is a demon and monster who has lost his conscience. The green forest heroes in Huojialing Village have a certain principle to loot, while the bandits of Heifeng Cottage do not care about the situation, as long as there are benefits in front of them, they will not hesitate to start looting, and more importantly, the killing of Heifeng Cottage is too heavy, resulting in passing by Heifeng Cottage and nearby roads, basically not many caravans dare to walk alone, after all, it is at the risk of the entire caravan being slaughtered.

After Xu Hong introduced these, there was no need to wait for Ding Li to make a decision, everyone's goal was completely the same, and the spearhead of the bandits was all pointed at the Black Wind Cottage, especially Wang Ling, who was going to make a military order to Ding Li in public, and led the army to level the Black Wind Ridge in one fell swoop, and completely wiped out the evil force of the Black Wind Cottage from the territory of Guangzhou Prefecture.

"Report! Checkmate! There was no detailed study of how to send troops and the specific matters before and after, Zhang Han, a personal soldier guarding outside the tent of the Chinese army, hurriedly broke in, and Zhang Han, who looked flustered, didn't even care about too much etiquette, and hurriedly surrendered his hand to Ding Li, and shouted loudly with an anxious face: "General, it's not good!" The wolf smoke of Giethoorn is lit! A few black puffs of wolf smoke rose! ”

Several beacon towers that lit wolf smoke were built by Ding Li at the order of Ding Li when he inspected Sheephorn Town, in order to avoid today's situation and not be able to get the news at the first time, and at the same time, Sheephorn Town also spontaneously organized militia to patrol around Sheephorn Town and be on duty in the area of Wolf Smoke Beacon Tower.

After listening to Zhang Han's report, it was obvious that it was not the wolf smoke that was accidentally ignited, but what kind of major event had happened in Giethoorn Town. The only reliable explanation for all the beacons that Zhang Han said was lit with wolf smoke was that there was a thief army near Giethoorn, and it seemed to be in a hurry.

"Xu Hong, stay and sit in the barracks! Responsible for pacifying the recruits of the new 1st and 2nd regiments! Ding Li immediately got up, strode around the table and walked out of the tent, and after giving instructions to Xu Hong, he continued to add without turning his head: "Qin Mo, take the old group of two hundred people out of the camp to inspect, and no unknown forces are allowed to approach the camp!" Wang Ling, order all the soldiers of the second regiment and go to Giethoorn Town with me! ”

When the words fell, Ding Liren had already left the Chinese military tent, and several people who had received the order stood up and clenched their fists, and responded loudly: "No! ”

As the captain of the guard, Heizi followed Ding Li's footsteps quickly, and pulled Zhang Han out with his hand, and the mount outside the tent had been led by Ding Li's personal soldiers, without any orders, as Ding Li turned over and got on the horse, more than a dozen pro-soldiers guarding near the Chinese military tent got on their horses one after another, and then followed Ding Li's movements, and urged the mounts to rush to the direction of the camp gate.

The recruits of the new first and second regiments in the barracks didn't know what was going on, and they all turned their heads to look at the thick black wolf smoke rising into the sky with blank and curious expressions, and a small number of people with some common sense were still laughing and explaining to the robes around them that this was a wolf smoke warning signal that would only be issued when there was a certain military crisis, and there were even some people who thought they were well-informed and showed off to their companions that they had heard the story of the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera during the Zhou Dynasty, of course, These recruits hardly paid attention to the soldiers of the old 1st and 2nd regiments who rushed out of the camp one after another.

Since entering the South Korean Navy, the recruits have been surprised by the moths that their own army has been forming from time to time, and a few days ago, there was a sudden warning signal in the middle of the night that there was an enemy attack, and when everyone finally came out of the barracks and hostel with their weapons in a sleepy eye, they knew that this was also a daily raid training.

The current wolf smoke is naturally considered by these recruits to be another special military exercise, and there is no order to pass on to them, but they are also happy and idle, especially now that the veterans who control them have been transferred, they have to rest and do not need to continue training, and even some people have begun to sit in groups on the spacious school ground, pointing at the wolf smoke in the sky and laughing.

In less than half a pillar of incense, Wang Ling ordered the 200 people of the old second regiment to assemble in a complete formation about a mile outside the barracks, although it was only two months of training, but these South Navy, known as veterans, were already doing things with a clear eye, although it was only a team of 200 people, but it was an elite force with high spirits.

Under the illumination of the golden glow of the sunset, the military armor on everyone's body was shining and shining, the first three rows of soldiers held the cavalry spear in their hands, and then the two rows were cold horizontal knives in their hands, and the last three rows were pulling the reins with one hand, holding the riding bow with one hand, everyone's bodies leaned forward slightly, with Ding Li's nod, Wang Ling, the leader of the team, suddenly raised the horizontal knife in his hand and then waved it forward, and suddenly shouted: "Go!" ”

In the case that the occasional neighing of war horses can break the silence, this loud shout hit everyone's head like a stick, and more than two hundred war horses were more like being ordered by these two short words.

The town of Giethoorn was now in a mess, not because of the bandits that had broken into the town, but because of the news from the militia patrolling outside that it was hundreds of horse thieves, and the black pressure was shrouded in billowing smoke and dust carried by the horses' hooves.

Almost all the people of Giethoorn were busy, and the women and the old and weak were gathered one after another, and the open space in the center of the town seemed to be ready to flee for their lives at any time, and it was more like they were waiting for the sentence of the horse thieves who came to Giethoorn.

Naturally, there is no shortage of seven-foot men in the town, but except for the militia who have a low-quality horizontal knife that can be said to be in the past, the rest of the men can only find weapons from their respective homes that they think are powerful, and even shovels and hoes, and of course, there are also hammers and axes temporarily contributed by the blacksmith master in the town's blacksmith shop.

There are bold people who are naturally timid, even young men in their early twenties are no exception, and these people will also choose and arrange errands for themselves, that is, gather around several beacon towers, and seem to be extremely busy desperately adding firewood to the beacon tower, it seems that without their efforts, the beacon tower will not be able to play the current effect, and the wolf smoke in the sky will not be so dark and conspicuous, and the blackening of their faces and the beads of sweat baked by the scorching temperature seem to be showing others the results of their efforts.

The few local tyrants in the town who can be regarded as having a solid family background also gathered in the center of the town, and the elders of several families who can call the shots also gathered together, looking up at the wolf smoke in the sky from time to time, and then looking anxiously in the direction of the three Southern Navy barracks, and then muttering a few words in a slightly disappointed and hopeful voice.

Although the Southern Navy has been stationed in Giethoorn for several months, in addition to bringing economic wealth to Giethoorn, the most is just fame, and Giethoorn is threatened by bandits and robbers every year, and from the beginning to the end, the Southern Navy has not proven that it can help Giethoorn completely eliminate this potential threat.

The Southern Navy is good, whether it is Ding Li at the head or the ordinary soldiers below, or even the miscellaneous labor in the army is also approachable, but these do not mean that the Southern Navy will work hard for Giethoorn Town, let alone that this Southern Navy mixed with new recruits and veterans in just a few months can defeat those bandits and robbers who make a living by killing and looting all year round.

In the eyes of these people in Giethoorn, everything in front of them is still unknown, whether the Southern Navy will be able to resist the arrival of the robbers, and even whether the Southern Navy will send troops to support and rescue Giethoorn.

It's just that all this, under the sudden exclamation of a child in a town, all doubts are broken and crushed by the facts that happened in front of them.

"Look, look!" Among the old and weak people gathered in the center of the town, a child who was only six or seven years old suddenly broke free from his mother's grip, strode out of the crowd, looked up into the distance, and at the same time raised his arm to point to the sky, and shouted loudly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
