The winter in the northwest is still so beautiful, the biting cold of minus 15 degrees Celsius is just a number, and with the sun shining, it is still so warm

There is a camp in a col, built against the cold wind.

"Captain, it's getting colder and colder, so there shouldn't be any caravans passing by."

"It's hard to say, ordinary caravans may not, but the family's may not be, we have to completely block this line."

The person who answered was Zhao Tiejun, the vice captain of the blade, although he was only the deputy captain, but his official rank was relatively high, equivalent to the commander of the guards.

This time, he led the team to carry out the task assigned by Li Shen, and it snowed not long after he arrived here.

With the wind here, they really suffered a lot.

"Captain, this cotton coat sent by the palace is really easy to use, not to mention the wind resistance, the focus is to keep warm, the brothers are not hot when they train."

An adjutant touched his clothes.

"Of course, when did the prince give us bad things, our guards used all military-grade, and those sold were civilian." Zhao Tiejun helped the big cotton hat on his head.

This cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton hats, cotton shoes, and cotton gloves wrap the whole body tightly. The most feared thing in winter combat is to hold a weapon in your hand, and this time you even have gloves.

And this body is made of leather, which can resist the cold wind very well, and the only fly in the ointment is that you can't wear armor.

"Report ~~~ Report to the captain, there is a large group of men and horses in the fifteenth mile in the north, and there are six or seven hundred carriages alone, which should come out of the pass." At this time, a member of the team with a sharp blade ran over.

This time the blade is mainly responsible for reconnaissance missions,

"North, it should be right, they came from the checkpoint, these people are really bold, and they dare to smuggle?"

Zhao Tiejun immediately knew that it was a smuggling caravan, and it should normally come from the east.

"How many guards do they have?" Zhao Tiejun asked again

"About a thousand."

"Summons, assemble at once, prepare to go, let's go to the front and intercept them."

After a noisy assembly, a thousand guards galloped away.

Fifteen miles away, the convoy was heading west against the strong winds.

"This ghost weather, why is it so windy." One of the guards complained that although they were wearing warm clothes, they could not withstand the biting cold wind. The hands and faces were red from the cold.

"If we all insist on it, we will be seventy miles away from the place where we are trading, and then we will be able to go back with the money.

This trip is two months' wages. It's normal to be a little bitter. "The commander of the guards cheered everyone on.

They don't know how many times they've walked this road. It's just that it is rarely walked in winter.

"Shopkeeper, you said there were no robberies here, right?" A guy asked.

"No, I've been on this road many times, and they know us very well. And this time, we went together just to take care of it, and the next few batches were the same as us. ”

This time they were the vanguard, and only 5,000 stone of grain were transported. It will be shipped out one after another. This time, the price is much higher than before.

"Captain, they're coming."

"Do you remember what I just said? Our horses are better than theirs, don't fight hard, take the light riding method, shoot them from a distance, and I don't want casualties this time.

This is a test for you. Looking at the scale of the caravan of the family, General Xue said, the prince is kind-hearted, we can help deal with this kind of thing, don't run away at all, understand? ”

"Got it."

"Okay, attack."

The ground began to shake, and the leader of the family was alert for the first time.

"There are large forces of cavalry, ready for battle."

Soon they saw a group of tightly packed cavalry rushing towards them. ，

It's just that the costumes don't look like Datang's costumes. Some are like Hufu.

The shopkeeper wanted to go forward to negotiate, but before he could speak, a wave of arrows came to his face.

"Poof" "Poof" "Poof"

"Ahh

As soon as it was dialed down, there were countless casualties.

Together, they numbered less than three thousand.

The royal guards began to shoot in circles around the convoy, and the people of the family began to use the carriage as cover. But because it happened suddenly, they didn't do a good job.

Seeing this, the guards of the family also organized cavalry to fight with them, but the guards of the palace turned around and ran, and the guards on both sides continued to shoot you.

In a few moments, there were only three or four hundred people left in the field.

This is the advantage of the equipment, the bow of the royal palace has a range of more than thirty steps longer than theirs. The horses are faster than them and have good stamina.

It's like the battlefield in Iraq, where a small U.S. squad can fight hundreds of people.

"Who the hell are you?" The head of the family's guards yelled angrily.

"There is no need for the dead to know." Zhao Tiejun shouted

The commander of the family's guards also made a decision on the spot,

"Scatter and run, if you can go out one by one, go back to report to the family."

"Scatter the pursuit, run to the head and see you." Zhao Tiejun also gave an order.

Groups of three or five began to pursue, but the family members were all in vain. How could their horses outrun the horses of the palace?

Li Shen's hundreds of thousands of yuan a year are not in vain, and all those who ran out were caught up and shot.

"The battlefield is cleaned, the horses are pulled back to eat, and the dead are buried in snow so that they are not discovered. The herald immediately notified the caravan at the pass to meet him at the camp. The blade continues its reconnaissance mission. ”

After the battle, Zhao Tiejun began to give orders to clean up the battlefield. When all the work was done, it was calm again.

Only the blood of the earth will remind others that there has been a terrible battle here, but soon the blood will be covered by the wind and snow.

Zhao Tiejun led the team to escort hundreds of truckloads of supplies back to the camp. Soon the royal caravan will send someone to pick up the supplies.

They are then transported back to the granaries of Yizhou, where they await their next owner.

Li Shen is very distressed now, since he came back from the palace, he always feels that these maidservants look at him like spider spirits look at Tang Seng.

Especially Wu Mei, who is already charming and charming. Coupled with the seductive eyes, Li Shen suddenly felt bad.

Should he find a few apprentices to protect him, he doesn't have Tang Seng's concentration.

He even wanted to go to Sun Simiao to ask for a prescription for self-cultivation. Otherwise, his cow might die of exhaustion.

Isn't it handed down to the Hereafter, that there are only tired oxen, and no land that is spoiled? The more the land is ploughed, the fatter it gets, and the thinner the cattle become.
