Three months passed in a flash, and these seventeen recruits finally grew into seventeen qualified warriors of the horse exploration battalion under the training of Lao Han, and Captain Shen Beiwang organized them into the fourteenth horse exploration team, with Lao Han as the captain.

"Have you heard about it, brothers, and we're now on the list!" Liu Zhu sat on Zhou Ping's bed and shouted excitedly, "Captain Shen personally ordered that seventeen of us be organized into the fourteenth horse exploration team, led by Lao Han!"

"Really!" Zhang Xiaoyue bounced up from the bed excitedly, hugged Zhou Ping's shoulders and laughed, "We are also organized people now, and we are members of the Tanma Battalion." ”

Zhou Ping was also very happy with Mu Chada on the bed, took out the rattle that had been hidden in the package, and kept playing with it.

"Lao Mu, why do you look like a child when I see you playing with that rattle every day?"

Mu Chada scratched the back of his head honestly, and replied a little shyly, "This is called a peace drum, it was made for me by my sister, and the drum surface covered with sheepskin is sturdy!"

"What?" Liu Zhu stammered when he heard this, "You, you stupid big man and sister are rare?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter, and a recruit joked next to him, "Lao Mu, when will you introduce a girl to us, the brothers are all singles!"

"Go, go!" Muchada blushed and threw a shoe over.

"We prairie girls don't look down on you bean sprouts, it's rare for me to do this!"

As soon as he said this, the big guy laughed even harder.

Just as everyone was laughing, Lao Han walked in from outside the door and said something slowly.

"The fourteen teams of the Tanma Battalion will rotate the thirteen teams tomorrow to explore the movements of the army on the eastern border of Qi State. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but then a smile appeared on their faces. On the first day of the establishment of the 14th team, the task was assigned, which shows that our 14th team is valued!

"Everyone has sorted out the things in their camp, dry food and water bladders will be distributed uniformly when they leave tomorrow, and all messy things are not allowed to be brought, and those tattered critical moments will kill you!"

Hearing this, Muchada nodded, and carefully wrapped the peace drum and put it away. Zhou Ping also sorted out the letter, but when he saw the piece of messenger jade, he thought about it and put it into his arms.

The next day, the 14th Tanma Team set off for a month-long exploration mission to the border, which was a long way away, and Lao Han took the opportunity to explain the complicated situation at the border to these newcomers who were on the mission for the first time, and the main objects of their visit to explore and monitor.

The 14th team arrived at the White Tiger Battalion half a month later, and after replenishing supplies and resting, they secretly crossed the border and went to monitor the enemy troops facing the White Tiger Battalion.

"Let's advance another fifty miles, and it will be the camp of the Mo family's army. Lao Han pointed to a red sign on the map and explained, "Most of the armies of Qi are the private armies of tribal warlords, and all tribes are unified under the command of the emperor of Qi during the war. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but Zhou Ping frowned, pointed to another red mark, and asked, "What about this mark?

Old Han glanced at Zhou Ping deeply, nodded and said, "This is the second thing I want to tell you, a few days before we arrived at the White Tiger Camp, the thirteenth team stumbled upon this unit and fought an encounter with this team, causing the thirteenth team to suffer heavy losses. Judging from the report of the thirteenth team, this team is very likely to be a sub-battalion of the Qi royal family's troops. ”

"Royal troops?" Zhou Ping asked with a solemn expression, "Isn't that the strongest army under the command of the Emperor of Qi himself?"

"If you know everything, then what do you want our horse exploration team to do?" Old Han said with a smile, "So this time, our task is heavier, not only to grasp the movements of the Mo family's army, but also to find out the origin and purpose of this team. ”

"Let's split into two teams here, one of which I will lead to investigate the nameless unit. Lao Han paused here when he said this, and then set his eyes on Zhou Ping.

The other team was led by Tuesday and went to take over the task of supervising the Mo Jiajun from the 13th team. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Zhou Ping, although they were a little puzzled by Lao Han's order, but judging from Zhou Ping's usual outstanding performance, he was indeed the most suitable person for this position among the seventeen people.

This is a long way to go, I am afraid there are countless difficulties and obstacles, Lao Han gave Zhang Xiaoyue, Liu Zhu, Mu Chada and other top players in the team to Zhou Ping, which made Zhou Ping inevitably worry about Lao Han's safety, and after thinking for a long time, he made a decision.

On the eve of departure, Zhou Ping called Lao Han outside the house alone, hesitated, and still told him his thoughts.

"Tomorrow, you should continue the monitoring mission of the Mo Family's army, and leave the investigation of the nameless team to me!"

Lao Han put away the dagger he had just wiped, looked up at Zhou Ping, and grinned.

"You're still too young, and there are a lot of things that you can't solve by being strong enough on your own, so use your brain more and think more. ”

"Especially on the battlefield, you have to learn to think from the enemy's point of view. ”

After saying that, Lao Han patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave, leaving Zhou Ping alone in place to chew on the deep meaning of these words.

To Zhou Ping's surprise, Lao Han really changed his plan the next day, and according to Zhou Ping's idea, he asked Zhou Ping to go to the team to investigate and supervise the Mo family army himself.

On the occasion of parting, Lao Han carefully sorted out the outfits for the seventeen fledgling little guys, according to his words, when a horse is clean, clean is the most important, this clean refers not only to the body, but also to the heart.

Zhou Ping embarked on the journey with the most elite eight of the fourteen teams, and the eighty-mile march northwest of the White Tiger Battalion was the destination of their trip.

Liu Zhu was originally an immortal cultivator, and his physical fitness was far beyond ordinary people, so he consciously acted as a striker and observed the situation in front.

Everyone always remembers what Lao Han said, Tanma can only survive in the hinterland of the enemy army by hiding himself, this is not to say that Tanma is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the information they have is often more important than their own lives, so they are not afraid of death, but dare not die!

Out of the White Tiger Camp, Zhou Ping led the team to drive for half a day, and then more than 20 miles is the station of the army, seeing that this place is a forest, Zhou Ping ordered to rest in place, because after this period, everyone may not be able to sleep peacefully.

Everyone didn't dare to make a fire, so they could only gnaw on dry food with cold water, but at this moment, Liu Zhu, who had been walking in front of the team, ran back as fast as he could, and said to Zhou Ping, "There are people in the forest, it seems that it should be sent by that team, and the purpose is not clear." ”

When Zhou Ping heard this, he immediately stood up, frowned, and asked, "How many people are there, and where is the location?"

"To the northeast, two miles away, there are more than a dozen people. Liu Zhu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I think it's very likely that the enemy sent a horse to the White Tiger Camp." ”

Hearing this, everyone stood up, the two sides are both Tanma, and the number of people is about the same, and there are masters like Tuesday, Zhang San, Liu Zhu, and Mu Chada on their side, maybe they can eat the other party's Tanma team!

Everyone looked at Zhou Ping, waiting for him to give an order, Zhou Ping touched his chin and thought for a while.

"Hide first, if you do run into it, no one is allowed to act rashly without my orders!
