Early the next morning, Chai Man'er took a string of eldest sons to the market to buy bedding, although it was almost summer, but the night in the northwest was still cold.

Chai Tiannuo, accompanied by the old chief, went to meet the soldiers of his own army.

"The head of the camp said, although you are the commander of the army, you enjoy the treatment of President Qian, and you can directly obey him, and you can just find him if you have something."

After saying that Lao Shi Chang left, Chai Tiannuo looked at the four people standing in front of him, and was still a little excited in his heart, and said seriously, this is the first time he has led the team, and he feels good in his heart.

The four pawns on the opposite side were also secretly looking at their new captain.

Early in the morning, I heard rumors that the new Wu Chang was Wu Xiucai from the capital, and he was definitely a big man in the remote realm of Tumubao.

Just listened to the words of the old chief, which made them even more frightened, and the chief Wu, who enjoyed the treatment of the thousand generals, had really never heard of it.

"Give me your name, tell me about yourself, and I can get to know you."

Wu Chang had a life, and several people hurriedly introduced their identities.

The eldest was in his forties, had been in the army for twenty-five years, and his name was Old Immortal.

"I want to know your real name, not a nickname."

Chai Tiannuo frowned, and the old immortal grinned:

"Wu Chang, I am an orphan, I was called a dog when I was young, I was called an animal when I was young, and I was called an old immortal when I was old, this is my name, and left and right are just a title."

Patting the old immortal on the shoulder, Chai Tiannuo nodded lightly, he has been in a difficult life, and being able to see it is actually a blessing.

The sturdy body, about twenty years old, is a pair of twin brothers, born in Guannai Tartar, but their parents have long settled in Tumubao, and they speak Dahua very smoothly.

Their family has changed their surnames to Hua, surnamed Luo, and people who know each other call them Da Luo and Xiao Luo.

The last thin man was called Wang Dashan, who was born in a border army and took over his father's class, and the people in the third battalion called him a little jacket.

After a brief introduction, the five of them got on their horses and went out of the city, stepping on the desolate land all the way forward.

"Captain Wu, on weekdays, we patrol the border along the river in front of us, go to the left to the mountain, and stop at the alkali pond on the right, going back and forth for about sixty miles."

The old immortal has been patrolling the border for many years, and he is very familiar with this territory, and the five war horses are running with small steps, so that Chai Tiannuo has a little feeling of traveling.

"Let's patrol the border, is it to beware of the grassland royal court?"

"Not really."

Old Immortal shook his head, and then explained with a smile:

"The royal court cavalry rarely appears in this realm, if they really come, those bridge forts that come out of the front can be found at the first time, and the wolf smoke is together, and it can be seen clearly dozens of miles away."

"Let's patrol the border, we are guarding against those ordinary steppe tartars, they have few people and small targets, even if the bridge fort finds out, they will ignore it, but these guys are very wild, and three or two people dare to cross the line to kill guns."

"For the people of the Northwest, these wandering guys are far more dangerous than the royal court cavalry who talk about the rules."

I see, Chai Tiannuo nodded lightly and asked curiously:

"Since the beginning of this year, have there been steppe tartars who have crossed the border?"

“...... Yes, quite a few times. ”

Da Luo and Xiao Luo were silent, and the old immortal said with a wry smile:

"We met half a month ago, after a fight, Wu Changhe and Daring died, that scene was too miserable."

"However, we are still okay, some of the Wushi patrolling the border were directly wiped out."

"There's no way, the steppe tartars are bad for the white plague, and if they want to live, they can only come over to fight the grass valley."

"When they suffered a disaster, they came to Dahua to find a subsidy, how can this be true!"

Chai Tiannuo snorted coldly, in his opinion, the steppe tartars and the bitter bandits are both virtuous, and they are all bastards!

"Actually, what I'm most afraid of encountering are those elites of the royal court disguised as ordinary grassland tartars."

Da Luo interjected, sighing as he spoke:

"The last time we encountered it, it should be that the kung fu porcelain in the hands of those guys is terrible, if it weren't for Wu Changhe and the bold break, our brothers and the old immortal would have to be left there,"

"When the reinforcements were called, those bastards never left, twelve or thirteen people, and they dared to fight with fifty of us!"

"If it weren't for the three people who were shot by the Divine Arm Crossbow, they wouldn't have spared it."

Chai Tiannuo frowned, more than ten people can compete with four times the border army, the elite of this grassland royal court, the combat power is really not to be underestimated.

"Old immortal, this small river is full of moisture, why don't you see anyone cultivating it?"

Walking along the river bank for a long time without seeing a figure, Chai Tiannuo asked curiously, in the northwest boundary, the water source is a sign of abundance.

"Originally, there were many people, but before the grassland royal court entered the customs, there were crops everywhere on both sides of the Liangjie River, and the settlements were also dense."

"Now almost no one dares to plant, and those steppe tartars who appear every now and then are ruthless, and they find that it is not only a matter of food being robbed, but even people may become slaves."

"Yes, my family originally opened a piece of land on the shore and planted some sweet melons, thinking that they could sell it for some money when they grew up, but they were found by those bastards and directly trampled on them!"

"My dad was also hit by an arrow in the leg, and if he hadn't run fast, he wouldn't have been able to save his life."

Xiao Luo interjected, with a hateful expression on his face.

The more Chai Tiannuo listened, the more uncomfortable he became, the land of Dahua became a barbarian galloping land, and the people of Dahua let them bully, which was the biggest shame for the soldiers!

"Captain Wu, look in the distance!"

The little jacket who had never intervened suddenly shouted, Chai Tiannuo raised his eyes, and found that there were twenty or thirty people crowded together on the shore in the distance, some on horseback, and some on foot, and something was wrong at first glance!

"Let's take a look!"

Chai Tiannuo was about to rush forward, but was grabbed by the old immortal.

"Wu Chang, I can't go, then it looks like the steppe Tartars are kidnapping, their number is more than double ours, and they are dead in the past!"

The old immortal hurriedly dissuaded, and Chai Tiannuo's face suddenly turned cold:

"And watch them take captives?"

"Let's hurry back and call people, those arrested people can only walk, as long as the speed is fast enough, they can't run far!"

"The method is good, but as a soldier, you have to watch the enemy capture my people, you can't do it, drive!"

Throwing off the old immortal arm, Chai Tiannuo clamped the horse's belly, and the rouge rabbit rushed out with a swish, the speed was amazing, like a sharp arrow!

"Too impulsive, too impulsive!"

The old immortal beat his hand hard, what he was most afraid of was that the new Wu Chang was young and anxious, and he was really afraid of something.

"Commander Wu is right, if you can't protect the people, you still deserve to be called a soldier?"

After speaking, Da Luo also rode his horse and rushed out, followed by Xiao Luo and Xiao Jacket.

The old immortal was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly, took the spear from the victory hook, and rushed out with a clamp on the horse's belly.

"That's it, more than forty people, dead and dead!"

The distance between the two sides approached rapidly, and the scene ahead was clearly visible, thirteen horsemen and nearly twenty women and children were tied with ropes, and they were preparing to cross the river.
