Two tall and handsome horses galloped past the mountain road, their hooves flying up the muddy ice and snow, leaving deep pits.

The leading knight frowned and turned back, shouting: "I'll go see Shanyu first, and you go to the woods in front to find a place to bandage the wound."

The knight who followed him turned pale, and his bloodless lips trembled slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he fell off his horse.

The leading knight looked back when he heard the noise, but just frowned, and instead waved his whip a little faster.

"Can't look back, can't look back..." The knight's lips trembled and he whispered through gritted teeth.

Just then.

Boom!

"ah."

The knight fell off his horse with despair in his eyes. The severe pain in his shoulder made him wake up, and at the same time, a strong sense of fear also hit his heart.

"Drive, drive... chase, you're right in front, my shot must have hit you."

Several men from the secret guard rode horses to the entrance of the mountain road and looked around. One of the men pointed at the red-stained snow and said in a deep voice: "There are blood stains. My shot should have hit it, but

Not fatal."

When the others saw this, they all became vigilant. The middle-aged man who took the lead said in a deep voice: "Take it easy, don't be like Wang Dacheng, who was stabbed through the stomach by a Hu man who pretended to be dead."

"Captain, don't worry, brothers will pay attention."

"Well, search separately. We must find the person. We must not let them bring the news back."

"yes."

Not long after, a few people found a body in the bushes next to the mountain road. Following the horse's hoof prints, they also found a horse that used its nose to pull away the snow and greedily gnawed on grass stems.

"This man died not long ago. His body is still warm. There is only one bullet hole in his lower back. The porcupine just hit him probably in the upper part of his body. It's not this man. Hurry, another barbarian named Xizuo is nearby. Find him quickly."

"

Several people looked at each other, and all of them started to move. They set up the wind dragon musket with both hands and followed the other horse's hoof prints to find it.

Rest, rest, rest~

Just when a few people were about to approach the end of the mountain path, a dozen arrows suddenly flew from the forest.

"hidden."

The team leader reacted quickly, pulled the nearest team member, and rolled behind the big tree next to him.

"Report the number."

"Gray Snake is fine."

"Coyote is fine."

"Porcupine is okay."

"The chipmunk suffered a minor scratch on the outer side of his left thigh."

The squad leader breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small metal lens from his pocket, adjusted the refraction angle, and carefully observed the woods at the end of the mountain road.

"I saw figures flashing due to the north, and there were five people coming from the northeast Yinshi direction carrying knives and bags. I am not sure yet about the northwest direction."

Based on what he saw, the squad leader shared the intelligence with his teammates, and then said: "The chipmunk was injured and held down his gun to cover us. The gray snake retreated fifty steps to look for a sniper point. The coyote and the porcupine are with me, first

Kill the five people in the northeast and then talk."

"yes."

Several people moved in an orderly manner. The only chipmunk whose outer thigh was scratched by an arrow was lying behind a rotten log that had fallen to the ground. From time to time, he fired a shot into the woods opposite to attract fire.

The man named Gray Snake held a 98k wrapped in deerskin and quickly trotted back.

After searching for a while, I finally selected a large camphor tree. I climbed up in a few seconds and turned over the white cloak on my back, revealing the yellow, green and brown camouflage pattern inside. It wrapped around my whole body and covered my whole body.

Standing motionless against the tree trunk.

The team leader led the other two people around to the right, staring at the five barbarians coming from the northeast with sharp eagle eyes.

"I'm one or two from the left."

"I am in the third grade."

"Then I will be four or five on the right"

"Three two one!"

Bah bah bah, bah bah~

A series of gunshots rang out in the forest. The two people in front and behind couldn't breathe. There were already five more corpses in the bushes 70 meters away.

The squad leader neatly ejected the cartridge case, picked it up and put it in his arms as a souvenir. At the same time, he said to the coyote on the side: "Not bad, boy. He fired the second shot almost at the same time as me. Unfortunately, I should be faster."

The coyote twitched the corner of his mouth, turned over silently, crawled down to the higher point, then stood up and asked: "What's the next fight?"

"No rush." ​​The team leader covered the muzzle of the gun with a deerskin to prevent the snow from accidentally blocking it, with an indifferent smile on his face.

Suddenly, a series of gunfire and the neighing of horses suddenly sounded, which seemed particularly clear in this empty mountain forest.

The direction of the gunfire was clearly from a commanding height fifty steps behind, while the neighing of the horses came from the woods more than a hundred steps away to the north.

The team leader raised his lips and looked behind him. Not long after, a man named Gray Snake trotted over.

"There were a total of six people and eleven horses. They were all taken care of, and four of the horses ran away." Gray Snake Hui reported.

The squad leader nodded with satisfaction, looked at the new team members aside, and said, "Well, this is how the secret guards fight. When you can accurately detect the enemy from 300 steps away, you can apply to be an undercover agent in the enemy country.

Already."

The coyote glanced at the calm gray snake and nodded thoughtfully.

···

In the afternoon, dark clouds gathered and light snow began to fall in the sky.

It's almost the end of the New Year, but the eight hundred soldiers brought out by Zhang Liao are still out on missions.

Fortunately, not only did everyone not have any complaints, they were all gearing up and talking about completing the task before the end of the year and going home to celebrate the New Year.

Zhang Liao was sitting in the tent, holding a map of the counties in Liangzhou in his hand.

"Report, Commander Zhang, the secret guard just sent a secret report, saying that while chasing Xi Zuo, they encountered a Hu team coming to meet them near Xianyin Mountain. It cannot be ruled out that the Hu people have the intention to invade Luoyang."

"oh?"

Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows, put down the map of Kanyu in his hand, and told the visitor: "Go and tell these young gentlemen about this matter."

The person who came was Zhang Liao's most capable lieutenant. Seeing that Zhang Liao cared so much about those little brats, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother, there's no need. What do these little boys know?"

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes, picked up a military book and opened it, frowning and saying: "Go as soon as you are asked to go. Don't delay the business. If you are unhappy with anything, go back and complete the task. Let's talk about it again. It's not too late."

It’s a rule.”

"A Liang, A Liang?"

Lu Su opened the door curtain and walked into the tent, raised his eyes to search, and frowned: "That's strange, where have everyone gone?"

The guard passing by the door clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhuge Xiao and others have just received the summons from General Zhang and have gone to the central tent to discuss matters."

Lu Su was overjoyed when he heard this, "Are we finally going to send troops?"

The guard shook his head slightly, expressing his ignorance.

Lu Su bowed his hands and hurriedly rode towards the middle tent.

Before we even arrived, we heard bursts of hearty laughter coming from the tent, and there were also a few nicknames like ‘Brother Xiaoliang’.

Lu Su's expression changed, and listening to his voice, Zhuge Liang seemed to have received recognition and support from many people.

This was a happy event, but at the same time, he felt a little bit snacky in his heart.

"Zijing!"

Lu Su turned over and dismounted. Before he could enter the middle tent, he heard someone calling him. He quickly looked back and was startled. He bowed his hands respectfully: "Lu Su has seen Mr. Xun."

Two people got off the carriage. Xun was wearing a Confucian scholar's gown and a mink fur coat. He had his hands in his sleeves and was smiling.

The person behind him was only twenty-eight years old and extremely tall. Who else could it be if it wasn't Hao Zhao.

Wei Cheng also worked hard to train his brother-in-law.

First, he was thrown into the city guard army and trained with Hua Cuan for several months. Later, he was sent to the Longshan Army and became the first batch of veterans of the Longshan Army. Until Dian Wei and Xu Chu were injured, he kept Hao Zhao with him as a guard.

.

Now that Dian Wei and Xu Chu had returned to their positions, Wei Chong simply handed them over to Xun You and asked him to learn the coordination skills from Xun You.

Xun You walked up to Lu Su and asked with a smile: "I saw you were in a hurry just now, but there are changes on the front line?"

Lu Su cupped his hands and responded: "The students have just returned from the front line. It seems that the Hu army has not taken any action yet. The reason why we came here in a hurry is because we received a summons from General Zhang."

Xun You smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It just so happens that Xun is here to hear how you decide your plan."

The three of them walked into the central tent one after another. When they saw Xun Yu, they naturally bowed and saluted again.
