Mei Ying's eyes dodged, unwilling to make eye contact with Coach Qiu.

The afternoon before, Takagaki came to her and asked her to prepare poison, and Mei Ying sank her face at that time.

To be able to poison dozens of people, it took a few hours after the poisoning to attack, the old man of herbs was a closed disciple who was on his lips, Mei Ying configured the poison very simply, and the raw materials needed were available in Caotan, but she was always reluctant to do it. As a samurai, honor should be valued above life, the despicable means of poisoning and assassinating will disgrace the imperial samurai, and the captive women of the bandit nest should not become innocent victims.

The stubborn Mei Ying was so angry that the coach turned blue but helpless, and Gao Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. The honor of the samurai, the victory of the battle, the glorious results are praised by everyone, there are a few people who care about the battle, and the person who pays attention to the details, which one is not an elite soldier who survived the ruthless killing. Coach Qiu was so angry that he turned around and left, using military orders to force Mei Ying to submit, and Gao Yuan's last thoughts turned into wishful thinking.

If you can't get an effective poison, it will be difficult to make laxatives against Gao Yuan, so I learned from the old man of herbs for three years. When the laxative is eaten, the medicinal properties are not immediate, and a few more herbs are intentionally added to reconcile, which barely meets the requirements of a few hours of seizures.

After dark, the three officers left the team with the three sentinels, and Mei Ying, who had been secretly paying attention, ran over to tell Gao Yuan to be careful, so that Coach Qiu could stop him from a distance, only his affectionate gaze accompanied the back and gradually moved away.

"Is the aristocrat's ridiculous pride?" Mei Ying disagreed, that nobleman didn't rise from the commoners, which commoner didn't want to become a nobleman, why can't I guide him to become a nobleman, a shining star in the upper echelons of the empire? A samurai who relies on military merit to be a marquis is just a commoner with a noble title, and it is more difficult to train a noble gentleman than to train a samurai who fights desperately.

Mei Ying groped forward with the cavalry on the grass beach, dreaming of her cultivating a noble new star, but the object of her cultivation was covered with mud and grass blades at the moment, half-squatting and half-lying in the grass behind the tree like a toad, how could there be a trace of aristocratic demeanor.

According to Gao Yuan's plan, it was dark last night, and two officers took him and Li Changgong to swim across the Qing River and swim upstream along the river flowing from Yukou. There are traps on the grass beach, the river is relatively safe, and the flowing water is ruthless, which will wash away man-made ambushes. Trekking knee-deep in the river, Rao is four people have been trained and endured for a long time, and they are tired and half dead after less than half the way, and an officer wants to try to go down the river beach, and almost dies after half a mile of travel, if it is not for the constant caution and the help of his companions throwing out ropes, the quagmire is enough to make him suffer a catastrophe.

The mouth of the valley is more than ten zhang wide, and the small river flows from the middle of the part, and there are several thatched huts scattered under the wall of the Hessian mountains on both sides, which looks not much different from the mountain dwellings. The bandits would never slack off their fortifications when they wanted to enter the mountain, and a few people did not dare to be careless, so they crawled motionless by the river, carefully observing while recovering their strength.

The night is late, the wind is getting stronger, the sky is colder, and the chirping autumn insects seem to know that winter is coming, and seize the time to play the elegy of life. Unable to find the hidden bandit sentry for a long time, Takagaki couldn't help but be anxious, and just wanted to take the risk of moving forward again, when the officer next to him pressed his shoulder with his big hand, waved his hand silently, and signaled to continue waiting. Still unable to hold his breath, Gao Yuan smiled astringently, and used long breaths to stabilize his impatient mood, compared with these veterans with rich combat experience, he still lacked the heat.

Waiting is undoubtedly tiring, lurking in danger is even more testing of people's will, not to mention that there are important tasks that need to be completed urgently. In the contest of patience, the officer was victorious, and the sentry in the shadows, unable to bear the loneliness of the night, came out of his hiding place and swam, stretched his numb legs and feet, and went to the hut to call his accomplices to change the sentry. At this moment, the officer moved, like a long snake wandering on the ground, and several people took the opportunity to slip into the valley, and the second post of the bandit gang was unaware.

I don't know if there is providence Gao Yuan, but I think that the luck of the night is really good, there is no danger to escape from the trap buried by the river, when entering the second post, the bandits change the sentry, and then the rest is to find which ravine is the bandit's nest of Heihar. Searching the ravine one by one, it was too dangerous to have too much time, and the stupid way was often the most effective way, and several people hid again outside the first ravine.

To achieve fame, good deeds, good people, and good luck are indispensable. Good things mean to have the right goal, good people are said to be prepared enough, and often those who can't achieve fame and fame are mostly lost in luck, and they can only do their best to obey the destiny of heaven, which is the creed instilled by Grandpa Gun since childhood.

Gao Yuan was lucky this time, the ambush at the mouth of the ditch was not big, and a few black shadows came from the direction of Yukou, complaining quietly while walking, but it was the bandits from Erdaogang who entered the bandits' lair to deliver fresh prey, so as not to miss the appetite of the bandit leader when it was dawn. It was really a sleepy place where someone sent pillows, and a few people tiptoed behind the bandits, turned around at the mouth of the fourth ditch, and finally found Heihar's lair.

It is not Gao Yuan and Li Longbow's turn to poison them, and the most critical link is that the officers are not at ease to let the students do it, the bandits' nest is too dangerous, and it is also protecting their safety in disguise. The task of the two is to climb over the mountain wall next to the bandit's nest, and set a trap at the edge of the dense forest behind to ambush, after the dawn starts to act, if the bandit's nest has a fish that escapes through the net, it is their combat exploits, as for the two officers, after being poisoned, they will go to the fourth ditch to ambush outside, in case someone escapes to the depths of the mountain, which is also Gao Yuan's tactical arrangement, not to let a bandit get out of the net. It was even more dangerous to set up an ambush in the mountains, and the two officers undoubtedly took on the heavy responsibility.

Li Longbow was not good at laying traps, looking for an ambush point at the edge of the forest that was convenient for sharp arrows, Gao Yuan used a short knife to cut out dozens of wooden sticks with two sharp ends, and inserted them into the grass outside the forest, only revealing the tip of an inch, without removing the blades of grass covered on it, it was difficult to find it when he approached. took out the rope from the military bag, pulled out a few tripwires in front of the Li Longbow ambush point, and prevented the fleeing bandit dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and suddenly approached the moment of life and death. The reason why he chose Li Longbow is because he is better at killing people with cold arrows than Zhuo Zhuo, and when he can use his bow and arrow to solve enemies from a distance, he will never run up and show the bravery of a samurai with his sword. Of course, if he came to Excellence, he would never listen to Gao Yuan's orders like Li Changgong, which is probably the first condition for selecting people.

The front and back of the Black Har bandits' nest are made of a fence with a bowl mouth thick and nearly a foot high log, the two ends are close to the steep mountain wall, only the front and back two doors enter and exit, next to the front door is a solid arrow tower, to storm it from the outside, relying on the poor strength of the cavalry team can undoubtedly not do it, even if there are enough troops to kill all the way in, the bandits may have disappeared in the dense forest long ago, no wonder the number of the Black Har bandits is small, but they can live in the grass beach and be extremely nourishing.

At the edge of the dense forest, about dozens of feet away from the bandits' nest, Gao Yuan crouched behind a big tree, looking at the gradually brightening sky, and his heart couldn't help but hang. Whether or not the bandits can be lured out of their lair and into the ambush circle of the cavalry in the dwarf forest is the final finale, and it is also the only measure of the success or failure of tactics.

When it was dawn, the bandit leader Hei Har stood up with a full hiccup, and the two young women who were waiting next to him were smiling and helping him dress up obediently. After a while, Hei Ha'er left the comfortable room with a lewd smile, last night was really comfortable, the second leader sent these two goods tasted really good, it was better than those big girls and little daughters-in-law who were taken from the village, and it was better to be an official than to be a bandit, it seems that you have to think carefully, whether you want to secretly take refuge in the person that the second leader said.

The beard that ran back from the dock sentry disturbed Heihar's good mood early in the morning. Those students in the standard camp came to take revenge, and there were less than 30 horsemen? Hei Har didn't believe it at first, but after waiting for a detailed report from his cronies on the south bank, he became a little puzzled, Lao Tzu has more than 50 people, and they want to be destroyed in one against two, this group of students is so bold that they are hiding some secret tricks.

Heihar hesitated and did not speak, but the five or six big and small leaders sitting in the hall shouted, one louder than the other, and they all wanted to take people out to compete with the students, so that they knew that the bandits were not much worse than the regular army after changing into sophisticated equipment. The second leader sitting on his right hand glanced at the shouting leaders with satisfaction, these days he has used money and beautiful women to win over, and at this time he finally saw the results, and he couldn't help Heihar to preserve his strength anymore.

"Big leader, what's the worry about the dozens of student soldiers, you can rest, I'll take people down the mountain to destroy them?" The second leader saw that the noisy fire was almost over, and stood up and seemed to ask for his life. Hei Ha'er thought about it for a while, and felt that he couldn't let the people sent by the future master look down on him, there were only dozens of people, and he couldn't run back if he couldn't beat Lao Tzu, and the deep mountains and old forests were the world of bandits. Heihar finally made a decision: "Go, all go down the mountain, and kill all these pups." When he walked to the door, he turned his head and greeted: "Second leader, it's inconvenient for you to show up, take a few brothers to guard the stockade." ”

Hei Har led people to leave the nest in a hurry, and the second leader raised his feet and stepped up the steps in front of him, sat down on Hei Har's tiger skin chair, and sneered at the three people below: "In the future, follow this son, promotion and fortune are just around the corner, and the big boss will be killed." Several people nodded their heads again and again, and the hall was full of ugliness for a while.

In the low woods, Heihar led people from Sanloan to the stable, and several sentries from Erdaogang led the way, and the whereabouts of the cavalry could not be concealed from the bandits who were familiar with the terrain.

The horse shed became a ruin, and the students of the standard camp did not even see a single figure, and the bandit detectives of Erdaogang hurriedly ran over, and Hei Har'er's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and he ran away? The vast grassy beach is full of cannibalistic quagmire, and the spies didn't see the cavalry crossing the river, so they must still be in this wood, as long as Lao Tzu finds it-

The sentry left outside by Heihar made people wipe their necks from behind in a joke, and Coach Qiu and another officer were more agile than the cheetah. In the distance, the figures of the cadets flashed out from behind the trees and among the grass, each holding a longbow and a fireworks, cannons and other ignition materials tied to the shafts of arrows.

Coach Qiu roared angrily and shot out a long arrow, and the sharp howl went straight to the bandit leader Hei Ha'er, who rolled out of the knife bush and raised the knife sideways, cutting the long arrow into two sections, his arm was numb and he almost couldn't hold the knife, so strong, looking at the rockets flying around, he knew that he was in an ambush, and scolded his subordinates to break through the way, relying on the large number of people and wearing light armor, the bandits in front howled and waved their knives to block the long arrows, and the people behind fought back with bows and arrows.

Coach Qiu waved his long knife into the air and gave an order, and rows of long arrows and torches were thrown in front of the bandits, and the fireworks and cannons that were blown up were pulled out by sticking to the ground, which instantly ignited the dry grass and dead leaves on the ground, spreading a wall of fire several feet wide, and the flames burning in the ruins of the horse shed echoed in front and back.

Behind the wall of fire, the students did not fight hard with the bandits, hiding behind the trees and secretly releasing cold arrows, the wind blew in the direction of the bandits, the smoke choked people's eyes difficult to open, and even more uncomfortable was the stomach aches, and it was difficult for people to maintain their usual speed during the fight, and the arrows rolled on the ground, and the comparison of the number of people in the dwarf woods was gradually leveled, and the lever of victory was tilted towards the cavalry team as more and more bandits were poisoned.

The poisoned bandits lost most of their combat power, and after losing the numerical advantage, the ambush in the dwarf forest turned into a one-sided massacre, and Coach Qiu and another officer took the lead in attacking, and the bandits became dead souls under the knife, and the students were also aroused to kill the desire hidden in their bodies.

"Kill back!" Hei Har brandished his long knife and roared at the dozen or so bandits around him, and his cronies smiled and charged, but when he used the bandits' figure to cover the sight of the apprentices, he bent down into the bushes behind him and fled to the river.

At the end of the battle, the cavalry team won completely, but the faces of Coach Qiu and the officers were not very good-looking. If he didn't find Hei Har Er in the pile of corpses, could he have taken advantage of the chaos to slip out of the encirclement! If he can't kill the bandit leader, this battle can only be regarded as half the success, and there are many people and bandits on the grass beach, so if Hei Har Er relaxes his breath, he will pull up a group of bandits.

"Hei Ha'er is dead!" Mei Ying's cry made the gloomy mist dissipate in an instant, Coach Qiu saw her running from afar, pulling a long rope in her hand, and tying a round object to the other end, and only when she got close did she find that it was a human head, she hurriedly rushed over to grab it and inspect it, it was the head of the bandit leader Hei Ha'er, and he cut the rope with a knife with a knife. The head of the bandit leader is going to be dragged out and difficult to identify, and the battle achievements will be greatly reduced.

Before the war, the female outpost arranged an ambush on the other side of the creek and took care of the war horses by the way. Mei Ying crawled in the grass, looking at the smoke of the rising fire, and when her stomach was in nowhere, she saw someone rushing out of the woods, covering her stomach with one hand and wading into the water. Hei Har, everyone has seen the avatar of the bandit leader, Mei Ying knew that she had hit the big luck at a glance, and the long arrow was slightly aimed and shot out with a heartbeat. It is said that Hei Har has the strength to dodge or block, but the panic caused by the helpless failure and the sluggishness of the body's poisonous hair have made his movements sluggish, and there are several long arrows flying in, and the girl in the female whistle is good-looking, but she is only a little slower than Mei Ying when she starts. The long arrow was shot into the chest, Hei Har fell unwillingly to the river, a vicious curse before dying angered Mei Ying, it was completely a trained instinct, and he felt a little disgusting when he waved his knife and cut off his head, and he didn't have the courage to carry a person's head as a hero, so there was the previous scene.

The dwarf forest killed fifty-three bandits in a battle, and none of the students survived, not because they were ruthless, but because they didn't know how the bandits could completely lose their ability to resist, they couldn't help but have to cut a few more knives. There were not a few people left in the bandits' nest, and Coach Qiu left two sentinels to cut off people's heads, and the officer took the rest of the people to kill Yukou.

There was no one along the way, and the sentry at the mouth of the ravine shouted after discovering it, so he let the two officers in ambush shoot them with sharp arrows, drew out their knives and led everyone to the bandits' nest to kill, and rushed into the gate unscathed.

The officer secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly led people to rush out of the back door, and saw seven or eight corpses lying on the ground at the edge of the forest dozens of feet away.

"These men ran out and stepped on the trap and killed the two of them. I don't know what is real in the stockade, we didn't dare to go in, and we have been ambushing here. ”

The two rushed to report the battle situation, it seemed that they were fighting for merit, the cadets smiled and did not speak, and the three officers looked at the two of them playfully, and then ordered a thorough search of the bandits' lair, and after taking away Heihar's savings for many years, they set fire to the lair.

Several arrows in the cavalry team were slightly injured, and none of them died in the first battle, such a result made the officers also happy to crook their mouths, not a loss is a new patrol, the standard battalion students have not fought such a beautiful battle for many years, and everyone's exploits will never be small after going back.
