Chapter 3 Zhao Zhuo remembers the old things, and Huhou Luan Ying knows the door

"Zhao Tou! Vice General Tan has an order, ordering our battalion and the city patrol battalion to escort grain and grass, and the other teams in our battalion have begun to assemble. At the door of the tent, the curtain was lifted, and Wang Dachun, who had a beard on his face, poked his head in a daze, and his voice shook Zhao Zhuo's ears.

Zhao Zhuo plucked out his ears, glared at Wang Dachun, hung up the waist knife beside him, and scolded: "How many times have I told you, Lao Tzu is not deaf! Gather the brothers immediately! Transporting grain and grass is a fat difference, and when you come back, Lao Tzu invites you to eat stew." After speaking, he walked out of the big tent, looked up at the gloomy sky, and instructed: "The sky is not very good, let the brothers bring rain gear!"

"Come on. Wang Dachun smiled, and then raised his loud voice again: "The brothers of the second team have gathered! Zhao Tou said, come back to eat meat after this trip!"

"Thank you Zhao Tou!" A loud voice sounded, and the 20 soldiers of Zhao Zhuo's team had already run out of their respective tents and began to line up.

Zhao Zhuo didn't talk nonsense, and when the people below finished lining up, he finished ordering, waved his hand, and led the team to run to the school field.

The Black Tiger Army has strict discipline and elite soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, nearly 1,000 people have been densely assembled on the school field.

Because it is a routine task, the grain and grass have to be transported every month, and the deputy general Tan who is in charge of this escort does not say much, and the teams have finished reading, and the battalion has handed over the grain and grass, and the Black Tiger Army will join the patrol battalion with a total of more than 2,000 people to carry up the grain and grass.

On the march, Che Linlin, Ma Xiaoxiao, all the way without words, and when the time was close to noon, the grain transport team had walked dozens of miles and arrived at the foot of Moyun Mountain.

Taking advantage of the stall of burying the pot to make rice, several leaders of the same battalion in the vicinity surrounded him.

The leader of the fourth team is called Yao Yuan, who is the same age as Zhao Zhuo, and he is the easiest to say, so he called first: "Zhao Tou, you see that this day is gloomy, it won't rain, right?"

"It's best not to go down, it's a beautiful trip, if it rains, the road will be troublesome, and this road is a lot more difficult. "Song Xianxian, the leader of the third team, is blind in one eye, he is a veteran, the oldest among the leaders of the same battalion, and everyone calls him Song Blind.

Several other team leaders also talked about it, and they were very troubled by the rain.

Zhao Zhuo smiled, leaned over the grain cart next to him, and said, "It's best not to go down, it's really the people of the "Qijun Battalion" who contribute a lot, what do you have to complain about?"

"Haha, no!" Yao Yuan patted his thigh and said with a smile, "Let these grandsons ride on horses all day long to show off their might, if it rains, they will definitely be pulled out of the horse first, let's just push and push in the back, don't work too hard when the time comes, exhaust these grandsons!"

"Haha. Several people laughed, got together and chatted for a while, and several team leaders returned to the team for dinner.

As soon as the leaders of the teams left, Wang Dachun had already run over with a rice bowl and said politely: "Zhao Tou, I will cook the rice for you, you eat first." ”

Zhao Zhuo was not polite to him, took two bites of the meal, raised his head and said, "Let the brothers hurry up and eat, prepare the rain gear after eating, maybe it will rain." ”

Wang Dachun nodded in response and turned around. After a while, I heard his thunderous voice, followed by a burst of scolding in the team.

Zhao Zhuo smiled, just ate two bites, there were a few thunders faintly in his ears, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, looked at the dark old forest in Moyun Mountain and said to himself: "Damn, it's thundering!

Because of the bad weather, Adjutant General Tan ordered the whole army to speed up the meal, and ordered people to cover the straw mats prepared in advance on the grain carts, and when everything was finished, they immediately marched to Moyun Mountain, striving to cross the Valley of Wind Chimes before it rained.

Zhao Zhuosan finished eating the leftovers in the bowl in two bites, threw the bowl into the empty pot, and his own firehead army cleaned up, got up and urged his soldiers to speed up the meal. Looking at the direction of Moyun Mountain, Zhao Zhuo felt a trace of irritability inexplicably in his heart. He took a deep breath to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and once again loudly urged his soldiers.

After all, the elite is the elite, just a cup of tea, more than 2,000 people in the whole army have been regrouped, because the road into the mountain is much narrower than the previous official road, the army was redistributed, Zhao Zhuo's whole team was arranged in the second half of the team, looking at the dense mountains and forests on both sides of the road, Zhao Zhuo's heart was pressed down and irritable couldn't help but come to his heart again. The crowd of black crushed people in front of them walked on the road into the valley, as if a long dragon was being swallowed into a large black mouth little by little.

Wind Chime Valley, located in the central position of Moyun Mountain, surrounded by several peaks of Moyun Mountain, because the surrounding old forest is dense, the middle hall has the wind to pass through all the year round, the entrance and exit are narrow, the valley is wide, the wind blows the valley mouth, the throat is like a bell, so it is called the Wind Chime Valley. This position is located on the best way to the border defense area in the southwestern province, and has always been a transit zone for army transfers and grain and grass transfers, and ordinary people and caravans are forbidden to enter and exit. Since the Black Tiger Army had already walked on this road many times, as soon as the army entered the valley, it immediately changed its formation according to the previous queue, and the cavalry of the "Qijun Battalion" as the vanguard scattered in all directions, and the infantry surrounded the grain cart, and the originally narrow marching procession immediately became round. This is also a common method of battle formation in open areas, shortening the beginning and tail, so that the front and rear of the military formation can echo in front and back, and prevent the troops from being unable to exert themselves under the enemy's surprise attack.

Zhao Zhuo was originally located at the back of the military formation, but after this change, he was in the center of the battle formation, close to the grain truck. He was followed by 20 of his brothers. Further to the left is Song Xianxian's team, and behind is Yao Yuan's four teams.

The Black Tiger Army ordered the ban, and in addition to the neighing of horses and carts, there was only the light sound of weapons and armor rubbing between the comrades beside them.

At this moment, the weather is gloomy, the wind is like a ghostly bell, the voice is whimpering, between the mountains and old forests, although it is just afternoon, the sky is as dark as the evening, looking at the scenery in the wind chime valley, it is obviously the road that is used to walking, Zhao Zhuo, who has already experienced the tempering of the war, has a trace of fear, and there is a trace of coolness around him. He subconsciously looked at the soldiers around him, and he didn't know if it was his illusion, it seemed that everyone's face was shrouded in a layer of black mist.

Zhao Zhuo subconsciously clenched the handle of the waist knife.

Suddenly, a sharp sound of night owls suddenly sounded in the jungle on the right side of the valley, Zhao Zhuo was startled, and following the sound, a group of chirping forest birds rushed to the sky, and flew in a panic.

Zhao Zhuo's heart trembled inexplicably, the forest bird flew in shock, there must be a thief! He was just about to make a reminder, when there was an explosion in the forest, several black lights suddenly appeared, spun and rushed into the air, and then fell sharply, and the wind swept up thousands of leaves, accompanied by a burst of ghost crying and attacked the military formation of the grain transport team.

The strange side in front of him is far beyond the acceptance of people, and the Black Tiger soldiers who bear the brunt of it are also shocked, but the combat experience that has already been deep in the blood and bones makes the Black Tiger Army who was suddenly attacked react immediately, accompanied by the shouts of the outpost cavalry "enemy attack", the more than 2,000 people in the whole army calmly and quickly formed a formation. In the middle of the Chinese army, the herald ordered the flag to be unfurled, and the whole army marched according to the order, the swords and guns were unsheathed, and the arrows were wound. With a shout, the forward sentinels and the soldiers in the front line had already launched a charge.

In the military formation, Zhao Zhuo reacted suddenly, took a step forward, drew his sword, looked back and shouted: "Protect the grain truck!"

"Nuo" Wang Dachun and others rushed to both sides of the grain cart, unsheathed their sharp blades, and waited for the battle.

Zhao Zhuo looked around, he could only see the bustling head, thought about it and simply jumped on the grain cart beside him, and then sank behind him, and when he looked sideways, Yao Yuan also came up. Nodding at him, Zhao Zhuo looked forward, his eyes couldn't help but stare at him, the black light in the forest took the lead to meet the cavalry who served as the vanguard, a terrible scream sounded, and the first batch of 5 knights who rushed forward suddenly stood still, and after an instant, even the people and horses fell to the ground with a thud. Before the knights could react, the black light suddenly exploded, accompanied by a burst of piercing laughter, divided into six and rushed into the crowd, and then the shouting of killing sounded, only to see the head of the crowd, it seemed that there were several figures in the formation of flashing and moving, and the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army who were close fell in pieces.

Zhao Zhuo and Yao Yuan glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the horror in each other's eyes. There are generally two ways for the Black Tiger Army to select soldiers, one is to be promoted from the border army, this kind of people have been in the war for a long time, bloody and brave, after being selected, the army will teach the exercises, and then after layers of selection, to meet the audit requirements before they can finally stay, because after the training of the exercises, many of the people left behind are cultivated, although the cultivation of these cultivated soldiers is very low, the vast majority of soldiers are only in the early Qing realm, and many soldiers can only stay in the lower Qing realm throughout their lives, but after all, they are much stronger than ordinary people; , find out the innocence of the background, you can stay in the Black Tiger Army to serve. Therefore, about one-third of the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army have cultivation, although most of them are only new to the cultivation threshold, even so, this is very rare in the world, in addition to the royal guards guarding the capital "Shenjun Battalion" and "Huang Tingwei", there is no army that can ensure that the whole army is cultivated, but this does not include private armies such as Flying Tiger Guard, private armies are owned by the family, and the number is strictly limited, not in the imperial court establishment. Of course, the requirements of the "Shenjun Battalion" and the "Huang Tingwei" are very high, the "Shen Jun Battalion" requires that they must reach the upper grade of the early Qing Realm before they can enlist in the army, and the "Huang Tingwei" requires that they must reach the lower grade of the Qing Realm, but the lower one, the "Shen Jun Battalion" has only 20,000 people, and the "Huang Tingwei" is even less, only 5,000 people. The Black Tiger Army has 30,000 horses, one-third of which is nearly 10,000, which shows its strength. However, at this moment, the soldiers on the battlefield were killed one after another, and there was no one to join the enemy, and the strength of the enemy was far beyond the scope of people.

Zhao Zhuo clenched his waist knife and stood on the grain cart, only to feel a chill all over his body. Yao Yuan was behind him, the bone joint of his right hand was protruding, the sharp waist knife was obliquely blocked in front of him, and his eyes were staring at the military flag erected high by the Chinese army, as if he was stupid.

"Zhao Tou, what is that?" Yao Yuan's voice trembled slightly, even if he held a knife in his hand, he couldn't hide his fear: "Could it be... Ghosts?"

Zhao Zhuo's body was shocked, and then he glanced at him fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Old Yao, be cautious!"

Yao Yuanleng for a moment, and then his face turned white, the Black Tiger Army is strict in governing the army, and his words just now are suspected of disturbing the morale of the army, if someone reports it, it is possible to kill the head. However, fortunately, there was only Zhao Zhuo by his side, so he naturally would not betray himself.

Yao Yuan didn't know that Zhao Zhuo's heart was also churning at this moment, what he saw today, he hadn't heard of it in this life, this was not the weather in the world at all. In the past, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but the scene in front of him, coupled with Yao Yuan's words still in his ears, and a terrible cry came from afar, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but break out in his heart.

Zhao Zhuo and Yao Yuan didn't know that at this moment, in the military formation, Vice General Tan also fell into deep fear. No more than Zhao Zhuo and Yao Yuan, Vice General Tan was closer to the fight, and the scene in front of him made it difficult for him to believe his eyes. Six humanoid ghostly mist swayed and flickered like flames in the array, and the nearby soldiers barely had any power to parry, and they fell to death one after another, and the piercing cries were like the screams of wild ghosts, shocking their hearts. The Black Tiger Army in the battle formation could barely hold on, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion lined up on both flanks began to riot in a small area. Vice General Tan forced himself to calm down, strictly ordered the whole army, and those who retreated were beheaded. Intimidated by military law, the patrol camp barely stabilized.

Vice General Tan is a veteran on the battlefield, and he has been iron-blooded all his life, although he was shocked by the inhuman scene in front of him, he still calmed down in the fastest time. He concluded that the unknown enemy in front of him should be an unknown master who practiced special exercises in the rivers and lakes, and immediately ordered the whole army to press forward, surround the enemy, and launch a charge. This is the usual method used by the army to encircle and suppress the masters of the rivers and lakes, to consume the enemy's internal strength with uninterrupted charges, and when the opponent's strength is not enough, they can be surrounded and killed.

The flag is unfurled, the military order is like a mountain, and the formation of the whole army changes immediately.

When Zhao Zhuo Yao Yuan saw the flag order, he immediately jumped out of the car, and Wang Dachun and the others followed closely behind, and the front brother team began to press forward. Looking at the black crowd in front of them, everyone's hearts were solemn, they could only move slowly with the flow of people, and what awaited them was an unknown fate.

As we got closer and closer to the battlefield, the sound of fighting ahead was clearly audible. There were bursts of miserable cries from the black mist, which actually made the internal force in Zhao Zhuo's body chaotic, and his mind was also terrified.

"Everyone, beware, this cry is strange. Without waiting for Zhao Zhuo to remind, Yao Yuan beside him had already spoken, and Song Xianfeng also called on the other side, "Hold your mind and keep the formation!"

The whole team rushed forward about 300 meters, and the formation was abrupt.

"Brothers, charge!" At this time, there was a shout from the front, and Zhao Zhuo and the others only felt that their eyes lit up, and the Black Tiger Army in front had already rushed out with the patrol battalions on both wings. The battlefield not far away has finally been revealed to everyone until now.

Corpses, what catches the eye are patches of corpses, the Black Tiger Army and the Patrol Battalion are there, and those few clouds of black mist are still swallowing in the crowd, and the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army and the Patrol Battalion who are close to them have fallen on the way to the charge, and they didn't even have time to scream. Zhao Zhuo only felt a hot current surging up his chest, the hilt of the knife in his hand was clutched, the soldiers behind him were panting like oxen, and the sound of the blades clashing against the bowstring trembling clearly came into his ears, but he felt that his brain was blank.

"What's that?!" Zhao Zhuo asked silently in his heart, but no one could give him an answer.

"It's our turn!"

Wang Dachun's whisper came from his ears, and Zhao Zhuo suddenly came to his senses. Subconsciously looked around, two hundred people, and the two hundred people who charged in the previous wave only lasted less than a cup of tea.

A deep fear struck me, but then it was covered with anger and blood.

Men should act sideways, and the blade in their hands is light on life and death.

The Black Tiger Army, knowing that it will die, is fearless even though it dies!

Zhao Zhuo looked around at the robe, his eyes filled with blood, and roared, "Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

200 people, like a torrent of waves, indomitable!

Closer, closer, those flickering black mist, bursts of piercing cries, just fluttering in a pool of corpses and blood. Zhao Zhuo gathered the internal force of his whole body, jumped high, and the knife in his hand swung down suddenly, this blow, with all his strength!

A cry pierced into his cochlea, Zhao Zhuo's chest ached, and the strength of his whole body disappeared as if the tide was receding......

"This is the last memory of the humiliation, when I woke up again, I was already in the military tent. ”

Luan Ying was completely immersed in Zhao Zhuo's memories until she found that the big tent had been completely silent for a while before coming back to her senses. Raising his head, Zhao Zhuo's face still had a frightened look, his lips were pale without a trace of blood, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

"The world is vast and strange, but I never believe in ghosts and gods. Feng Yang's eyes were like deep water, and he seemed to be talking to Luan Ying on the side, and seemed to be talking to himself: "I have always had doubts about what this secret book remembers, thinking that it is just a rumor of the mountains and fields or the legend of the masters of the rivers and lakes, but today, my Black Tiger Army has 800 elites, more than 1,000 soldiers in the patrol camp, blood-stained mountains and forests, and corpses all over the field.
