the enlightener says

But since Tang Guo chose him to lead the army, it proved that this person must have his excellence.

Da Liu saw Huang Yao's thoughts, rubbed his palms together and said with a smile, "Or else, let's make a vote?"

The phrase "make a vote" is easily reminiscent of bandits robbing roads, but this is a common slang word in the army. The scouts are usually responsible for inquiring about news, and they are even more familiar with dressing up as bandits.

But when Huang Yao heard these three words, his whole body was shocked, and he began to hesitate: "A vote? But..."

Numerous dangers and terrible consequences were in his mind at this moment, but a rush of blood swept through his heart like a flood, quickly drowning those worries.

"Damn it!" After thinking intensely, Huang Yao spat viciously on the ground, then got on the horse, and clenched the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand.

There is a saying that heroes don't ask where they come from. This five-member Jingwu scouts started from the clan in this way, but they still have a heroic team.

Two nights later, they successfully found the beacon hidden in the col.

After hiding the horses, they each took off their weapons and sneaked into the col like wandering spirits.

Big Liuzi's memory is not wrong, this beacon is indeed hidden.

It is actually hidden in a mountain depression, which seems to be inconsistent with the towering beacon towers, but in fact, the mountains here are low in the middle and high on both sides, stretching towards both sides. As long as this beacon tower is lit, the two beacon towers in the east and west directions will also Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, the signals can be connected immediately.

When Huang Yao heard the slight coughing and talking from the beacon made of yellow mud, he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.

He covered his mouth vigorously, turning all those laughs into a slight cooing sound in his throat, then restrained his smile, and said in a low voice: "According to the old rules, I will be the first, and Big Liu will be the second." One, the fool is the third, Zhang Panzi and Lao Qi are in the back, and I will smash the door for a while."

The other four all nodded, and carefully began to draw out the knives in the scabbards. The crossbow machine was already wound up, and the clusters of arrows deliberately made into black reflected silvery and sharp light under the moonlight, reflecting in the changing on the fingers holding the numbers.

The three numbers are so short, as if it was just a breath, as Huang Yao kicked the door with a bang, the old wooden door that was concealed screamed in horror, and then slammed into the other side of the dirt wall, smashing It was a mess.

It's just that in such a short period of time, the crossbow arrows were fired almost indiscriminately, and when they swished out, they hit the chests of two scouts from the Tang Dynasty who were still in shock.

The sharp arrow clusters penetrated into the heart, bringing the coldness of the night, cooling the hot blood, Huang Yao roared, holding up the knife like a madman, and slashed at the person in front continuously, slashing at the person in front of him. Unable to fight back.

As he took a deep breath, he flipped his wrists and raised his backhand, which directly cut through the thick cowhide armor and continued upward.

The horrific wounds went all the way up to the top of the head, and the scouts of the Tang Dynasty in front of them immediately turned into a very terrifying and disgusting appearance, splashing blood and minced meat splashed on Huang Yao's shoulders, with a hot breath .

Big Liu Zi and the two so-called fools firmly protected Huang Yao's wings, and the experienced veteran Liu Zi even beheaded one person.

"Keep alive! Keep alive!" Huang Yao's blood subsided, and he began to realize that he was a little too fanatical, so he immediately shouted loudly, holding the fool's hand that was about to swing the simple knife with one hand, and gave him a hard blow pushed back.

The battle had just begun and it was over. Although there were only five scouts on Jing Wu's side, they took the lead and cut off four of the six scouts.

Among the remaining four people, two were "old soldiers" who could not stand a single battle. Their temples were white. When they saw the five murderous soldiers of Jing and Wu in front of them, they had long since lost their will to resist, and they simply stood up. Throw down the weapon.

7 Chapter Thirty

Huang Yao slowly turned his gaze from the old soldier to the Tang scout, who was still vigilantly holding the weapon and refused to let go. He suddenly laughed loudly: "What's the matter? Still want to do something? Your boss who has the realm of cultivation has been killed. I split into two pieces, you two rotten fish and rotten shrimps still want to turn the world upside down?"

Several of Huang Yao's subordinates laughed sarcastically, while Da Liuzi squinted his eyes, exhaling some murderous aura from the gaps in his eyes. As he took a big step under his feet, the shadow in the fire seemed to change Several times larger, it turned into darkness covering the two of them.

Big Liu Zi's thick voice exploded in the beacon: "Put down the knife, or I will kill you two now."

Tang Guo's scouts looked at each other, and found that each other's eyes were full of helplessness and despair, so they didn't insist anymore, and slowly lowered their weapons.

After the clanging sound, two long knives made in the Tang Dynasty fell to the ground. Huang Yao smiled at Big Liu and said, "Look, Big Liu, it seems that this proud Tang dog will also be afraid."

Liu Zi, an old soldier who had just released a terrifying murderous aura, smiled, and suddenly returned to his usual simple and honest look, saying: "The Tang people are no different from us. Back then, I killed eleven people in one go before the battle. It's like killing a pig, and one of them even pissed his pants on the spot."

This was probably the indifference shown by an old soldier after getting used to things, but Huang Yao and the others were still quite excited.

In terms of seniority alone, except for Huang Yao and Da Liuzi, the other three were recruited last year to join the army. Although they had many conflicts with Tang people, they never won a head.

Today was the first time, and almost everything was perfect like in a rehearsal.

And Huang Yao's excitement was because he could finally get a living. From these people's mouths, he could naturally pry out the information he wanted.

After laughing, Huang Yao stepped forward, raised his foot neatly and knocked down a person, and patted the young Tang scout on the cheek with a scabbard in one hand, saying, "Tell me, where is your army located?" Where? And your General Liu Pei Liu, where is his camp located?"

The scout from the Tang Dynasty obviously didn't cooperate very much, but Huang Yao didn't say much to him. He just raised his hand and slapped him with such force that his cheeks were swollen up high.

The Tang scout who was insulted in this way was naturally very angry, his eyes were full of fierce stares at Huang Yao, but unfortunately the latter was not very scared, but said in a gentle tone as if he was going to see a girl in a brothel: "Don't make me wait too long For a long time, you know, we won't have too much time to waste, so I may directly use the most painful punishment on you, and in less than half an hour, you will regret that your parents gave birth to you to suffer in this world. "

After a pause, he glanced back at the deep night and said, "The wild wolf must be very hungry in such a night, right? How happy it is to have such a good meal?"

"You want to kill the prisoners?" Tang Guo's scouts stared, also showing a bit of fierce expression: "I don't know what you asked, where is General Liu's camp, how can we people know?"

"Don't lie to me, I know you are not ordinary scouts, and you should be the most elite group in the Tang army, otherwise, my arm wouldn't be so painful. Damn it, it really hurts."

Huang Yao rubbed his sore shoulders. According to his estimation, the Tang scout who confronted him just now had at least the second level of energy and blood. It was just because he was unable to react in time when he was attacked by surprise, and he was suppressed by continuous slashing. Otherwise, it will become a big trouble.

He liked martial arts since he was a child, but unfortunately, his talent in Qi and blood cultivation was mediocre, and he was still unable to compare with those heaven's favored ones.

It was also when he was most depressed that his grandfather arranged for him to join the army, so that he could find a meaning of existence in this army, and he has been studying the art of war hard, hoping that one day, he can prove it to his grandfather. He himself is by no means useless.

Today is a great opportunity.

Huang Yao stood up straight, looked down at the scouts of the Tang Dynasty indifferently, snorted, and then winked at his subordinates. Immediately, someone went out to watch the wind, and then there was a painful howl in the beacon, as if in this wilderness The evil spirits are screaming.

But the real evil spirit was not the howling scout of Tang Dynasty, but Huang Yao who had just tortured Tang Bing. He touched the sweat on his forehead, then nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Would you say so?"

Tang Guo's scout could only pant heavily on the ground, his eyes were bloodshot, and blood oozes from the corner of his mouth.

"It's too late for you to know." Tang Guo scouts sneered instead, "Even if you know now, what can you stop?"

Huang Yao frowned, feeling an unusual aura, and immediately asked: "What do you want to say? Say it, and I will spare you."

At this time, Lao Qi who was watching the wind outside the door suddenly ran in and said nervously: "Boss, there seems to be the sound of horseshoes, and there are more than one, at least twenty."

Everyone was shocked, and then they all looked at Huang Yao, ready to listen to his orders.

Huang Yao didn't care about that at all, he just pinched the scout of the Tang Dynasty blindly by the neck, but still couldn't get the news he wanted, so he couldn't help but cursed loudly: "Tell me, how did the Tang Dynasty arrange it!"

"General, it's too late." Da Liuzi knew that Huang Yao was out of control at the moment, patted him on the shoulder to dissuade him, "Saving our lives is the most important thing, we haven't rested these two days, we are not their opponents in a fight."

Huang Yao's eyes were wide open, and he had pinched the scout of the Tang Dynasty until his eyes turned white. At the same time, he was still shouting loudly: "Say! Damn, tell me!"

"General!" Big Liuzi violently pulled Huang Yao away, and the Tang scout was relieved, coughing and panting immediately.

Huang Yao gritted his teeth, knowing that he had no time, and with some reluctance, he chopped off the head of the scout from the Tang Dynasty with one knife, and then his subordinates also quickly killed the remaining three and cut off the head. head.

The merit of scouts killing enemy scouts is greater than that of killing enemies in front of the formation. One head can count as ten enemy soldiers, so they are naturally unwilling to give up.

Huang Yao looked at the headless corpse, explained to several people, and then immediately began to retreat, trotting along the original path towards the horses.

However, the sound of those horseshoes became more and more urgent, and it was almost possible to see that the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom in fiery red armor were getting closer, and even... had spotted them.

The arrow seemed to be completely hidden in the darkness, and only a sharp sound could be heard, followed by a splash of mud with a spicy and grassy aroma. part.

"They...they found us!" Several subordinates who hadn't been polished in the battle were obviously panicked, and their steps became a little messy.

However, Huang Yao's expression sank. Looking at Liu Zi who was walking steadily and even using both hands and feet, he jumped up the slope. He shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Get on the horse first!"

"It's too late." Big Liuzi slowed down and said side by side with Huang Yao, "Someone needs to stay behind."

Huang Yao heard what Da Liuzi meant, his back shook, and he said sharply: "You are not allowed to go, I am the general, I will come."

However, Da Liuzi smiled and said calmly: "General, you know this is the best choice. I am old, but you are still young, General. In the future, you will protect those little bastards for me and lead thousands of The army and horses will kill more Tang people for me."

He turned his head and fired his crossbow, only to hear a puff, and it seemed that some of the Tang cavalry fell off their horses, and the remaining Tang cavalry shouted loudly and cursed.

"What's more, I don't have any skills. I can only kill people. I can't make a living for my mother-in-law and girls. If you are alive, General, you can help me."

The sound of hoofs was getting closer.

Huang Yao and the others also rushed into the woods and saw the war horses gnawing at the roots of the trees.

Huang Yao stood beside the war horse, glanced at Big Liu, didn't say anything more, but said forcefully: "Your girl, when she turns eighteen in two years, I will personally propose marriage to her, and whoever dares to bully her in the future will be I am Huang Yao's enemy."

Da Liuzi nodded with a smile, took the good bow that Huang Yao often used, and disappeared into the woods amidst the shouts of three young scouts.

Things happened too fast on the battlefield, and Huang Yao didn't have time to be sad, so he just gritted his teeth and kicked Lao Qi at the same time, yelling at everyone: "Be sober, Lao Tzu! Don't disappoint Daddy!" Liu Zi, whoever dares to turn his head back is not worthy of being Big Liu Zi's brother!"

This was probably the biggest threat to these military personnel, so they could only wipe away their tears fiercely, and got on their horses under the gaze of Huang Yao's red eyes, and soon the three of them also fled from the woods to the other side.

Big Liuzi looked at the backs of those people, not very sad in his heart, but he was a little relieved that these little bastards survived, and he touched the bowstring, and was very satisfied that this bow, which he had been coveting for a long time, finally became his property .

In fact, if you think about it carefully, is he just looking forward to such a day?

Only he still remembers what happened on the battlefield that year.

More than 300 brothers in his battalion stayed at the pass for ten days, and finally all died, leaving him alone.

It wasn't that he was lucky enough, but because he was crushed in the pile of corpses and survived with a bit of luck like shit.

But these years, he has always felt that his life is not stable, and he always feels that he owes someone something. Only when he kills people with a knife on the battlefield can he truly find that feeling of peace of mind.

"You're all watching from the sky." Da Liuzi murmured, "I'm here today to protect those little brats for me."

There was a violent sound of horseshoes outside the woods, big Liuzi's eyes widened suddenly, and the arrow was strung in one go, almost at the same time as the bowstring cracked, one person fell off the horse on the spot, and within a breath, there was another arrow, just in time Shot one man in the thigh.

"One..." Da Liuzi counted in a low voice, while running wildly in the woods...

Chapter 731 General?Betrayed?

Five days later, when Huang Yao saw the city wall made of stones and mud again, the scout team he led had become very dilapidated.

The journey was not without embarrassment. Even though Liuzi bought a lot of time for them with his own life, those scouts from the Tang Dynasty still caught up. During the short contact between the two sides, two more people were shot by arrows. Fortunately None of them are considered vital parts, so they won't fall off the horse and die on the spot.

But many days of rain and physical fatigue broke the fool and Lao Qi. The two were pale and vain. They were holding the reins entirely by willpower, and they looked like they might fall down at any time.

The wound temporarily wrapped by the cloth strips has already started to emit a rotten smell. This kind of injury is very troublesome. If there is no medical officer to treat it properly, it will only be a matter of time before death.

However, what Huang Yao was thinking about at the moment was still Liu Zi's generous back. Thinking of him going to the final battlefield, but being as calm and resolute as if he had returned to a warm home, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his stomach, and the endless sadness seemed like a burst of embankment. The flood surged and covered his chest.

He could only squeeze the reins vigorously, as the gate slammed open, he saw the street, saw countless sergeants carrying armaments, and the Yanquguan general Peng Yong with a joyful face, let out a long breath , When I got off the horse, I found that my legs could not stand upright.

"It's good to be back." Peng Yong didn't notice the figure of Liu Zi, so he naturally knew what happened. It's like this on the battlefield. Too many old people have passed away, and young people will replace them in such a bloodbath.

Huang Yao gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "General, I got some news that Tang Jun seems to be plotting something, and judging from their rhetoric, they are already taking action."

Peng Yong nodded slightly, he didn't seem very surprised, he just ordered the medical officer to carry those people in, and then supported Huang Yao and said: "There is no need to talk about these things, you should hurry up and prepare, we will withdraw later Rock canal."

"Withdraw... the rock canal?" Huang Yao stared, and finally understood why the barracks looked very busy today, but what he didn't understand was that the position of the Yan Canal on the border was very important, even if the Tang army was powerful, But there is no need to be afraid to such an extent, right?

Peng Yong, a seasoned veteran of many battles, naturally knew that this studious young man was puzzled, so he explained as he walked: "Something happened in the middle school, and the general and Sun Tong rebelled together. Now the whole west is in a mess, and the court is worried about Yanqu. Once the back road is cut off, it is no different from an isolated city, so it is better to withdraw directly, which can not only preserve strength, but also prevent the army from being used by the Tang army."

"No...not...not? Damn...who...who betrayed?" Huang Yao's heart shuddered, and he began to speak awkwardly.

Peng Yong could understand Huang Yao's mood. When he received the news, he was not much better than him, so he just sighed and said, "General."

Hearing such news, Huang Yao only thought he was dreaming, but after asking several times, he got the same answer, so he stared at Peng Yong in shock, and his voice became weird: "Isn't the general To suppress the rebellion? How could he rebel? Why did he rebel? Who said he was going to rebel? "

A series of questions spit out from his mouth, obviously he is still doubting the authenticity of this matter, after all, the political enemies of the court have slandered the good generals in the army for rebellion since ancient times, those aristocratic families are fighting for power and profit, what dirty things can't be done?

Peng Yong was not in a hurry to let him accept it, but just shook his head: "The withdrawal is an order from the prime minister. We just need to follow the order. As for what happened to the general, it is not our concern."

That being said, there was still worry in his eyes.

Perhaps it is impossible for the entire army of Jingwu to accept Gao Changgong's rebellion.

In the minds of the soldiers in the army, Gao Changgong is by no means an ordinary superior.

When Jing Wu first stood up, he turned the tide and led eight thousand cavalry to force back hundreds of thousands of Tang troops, earning the title of Jing Wu God of War, and later winning thousands of miles, bringing Jing Wu one victory after another. Great General Da Sima.

These major events one after another have been continuously accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers, and they have already become a towering monument.

And the relationship between him and the prime minister is like brotherhood, how could such a person rebel?

Thinking of this, Peng Yong also took a deep breath, and made a decision: "Take care of your injury, I want to tell you something."

Huang Yao didn't speak, but just waited quietly for Peng Yong.

"You are the grandnephew of General Huang, and it is easier to inquire about news than anyone else. I want you to rush back to Jianye as soon as possible to see what happened."

A dark cloud is constantly condensing, and it looks like a heavy rain is about to fall. Peng Yong looked at the cloud, wondering if it was because he felt the coming wind and rain, his voice became much lower: "The morale of the army is not stable now, If the matter in the middle school cannot be resolved, I am afraid that Jingwu will have a catastrophe."

The morale of the frontier army was shaken, and Jianye City would not be much better. When Gao Changgong played the banner of "accepting the edict of King Wu's clothing, and raised troops on the side of the Qing Dynasty" and publicized it with great fanfare, Jianye City was also full of turmoil.

King Wu?Over the years, the common people have long been accustomed to the sky above their heads as the prime minister, and they really have no idea about the lord who is only a child.

After all, the entire world of Jingwu flourished under the governance of Prime Minister Zhuge, and things flourished and the people prospered. As a result, there is now a clothing edict, which turns the two pillars of Jingwu, Prime Minister Zhuge and the general, into Enemy, who can take it?

In contrast, the imperial court seemed much calmer. It just caught some good people who spread rumors and made troubles, and then posted a notice to define Gao Changgong's behavior as "bewitched by villains", which can be regarded as giving the people a feeling that they can accept it in their hearts. s answer.

But there will be a war in the future. Jing Wu's army will fight against its own people. Who knows what Jing Wu will become?

Since the establishment of Jing Wu, it has been difficult to have a stable life for seven years, and no one would want to return to the chaotic days of the separatist struggle of the aristocratic families.

"The old general has already pulled out his camp and left the city." The army was very busy. Abu and Qin Ke were walking on the road, and when they met passing soldiers from time to time, most of them would salute them.

The war was about to start, and when it was time to employ people, the higher-ups naturally became more generous in promoting officers. Many people were promoted because of this, and Abu's name happened to be among them.

The current Abu is already the Dianjun Zhonglang who temporarily acts as the Jianye City Guard Army, his rank has jumped to the fourth rank, and he has an elite battalion under his command, so he can be regarded as a newcomer of the younger generation.
