"Captain, a hundred zhang or so further is the boundary of Zhangchuan County." A scout hurried over.

"Let's go, let's see." Lieutenant Colonel Liao Wan urged his horse to rush down the hillside first, while a dozen cavalrymen who followed him quickly followed.

Although it is already spring back to the earth, you can still feel the coldness of the howling wind on the edge of the water. Liao Bang is a lieutenant under Pei Zilie, and there are more than 1,000 brothers under his command, but there are few war horses in the army, so the cavalry is actually only in front of him.

With the arrival of spring, it is clear to everyone that a big war is getting closer, so it has become important to get the enemy's intelligence first. While Xiangyang continued to strengthen the testing of Zhangshan County and Wuning County, the garrisons of Longzhong and Fangling, which were in the rear of the flank, also began to send scouts to test the area around Zhangchuan County.

Especially this mission, the main purpose is to find out the main route of the march in Zhangchuan County, which is of great significance, and it is also a cross-border reconnaissance, so Liao Wan did not dare to take it lightly, and simply led the team in person.

After all, many of the hairy boys under him have never experienced actual combat, and it will not end well if there is really any accident at that time.

"Captain, look." The general who led the team stretched out his hand and pointed to a small stream not far away, "After crossing this river, the opposite side is the territory of Zhangchuan County, according to our last exploration, there should be a camp behind the mountain over there." ”

Liao Wan frowned, looking at it, that hill was not inconspicuous, after all, this is also the foothills of Jing Mountain, there are many undulating hills, if it weren't for the last time they happened to see a group of returning enemy scouts, I'm afraid they would never have thought that the enemy would have a camp over there.

"Not only is this not eye-catching, but it is indeed a dangerous place to kill the river from the mountain col, it is indeed a dangerous place," Liao Wan said in a deep voice, he is also an old man who followed Pei Zilie into Shu, and he can see the mystery at a glance, "Ren Zhong, the guard general of Zhangchuan County, is a veteran in the end, and he has some ability." ”

"We didn't reveal their whereabouts last time, otherwise their scouts wouldn't have been spotted by us and still swaggering back," the general said in a deep voice, "so there shouldn't be many enemies stationed here, and they're not elite." ”

"Whether it's elite or not, let's go over and see." Liao Wan smiled and said, "Let's go!" ”

And when more than a dozen cavalry swept across the creek quickly, Liao Wan decisively ordered to get off the horse and go uphill, leaving two or three people to watch the horses, and the rest of the people rushed up the hill with Liao Wan. They are all hot-blooded young men in their early twenties, and they follow the captain into enemy territory to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, which is nothing more exciting for them.

Liao Wan has not rushed up the hillside, he bowed his figure into the wild grass, and the soldiers behind him also did the same, when Liao Wan stretched out his hand to pull away the wild grass in front of him, a scale is not large, but the absolutely well-designed military camp appeared in front of him, and more importantly, wisps of cooking smoke rose in the barracks, indicating that the barracks are not only burying pots and cooking, but also should have a lot of manpower.

"There must be four or five hundred of them." Liao Wan roughly calculated the number of military stoves, and Chen Shen said, "There are still forty or fifty war horses, which should be the camp of the enemy's scouts." ”

Coming to this conclusion, Liao Wan didn't dare to take it lightly, he was born in the Nanchen army, of course he knew that there were many scout veterans in the army with strong personal ability, if he rashly provoked, with his current more than ten people, I am afraid it would be difficult to retreat. Not to mention that this is Ren Zhong's army in front of him, this team is also quite powerful in the Southern Chen army, and most of the soldiers in the army have participated in the battles with the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou.

And the camp arrangement in front of him at least shows that Ren Zhong is ready to stop the Shu Han army as soon as the war breaks out, these four or five hundred people don't seem to be much, but they are enough to play an early warning role, and Nan Chen's scouts can also spy on Shu Han's military operations at the first time.

"Let's go, go around this camp." Liao Wan gritted his teeth and said. Ren Zhong had already pushed the army to this place, and you must know that from here it would be Longzhong for more than ten miles to the north, so Liao Wan had to know how many such camps and defense lines there were in the depth.

The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurried down the mountain.

At this time, a team of cavalry suddenly appeared on the west side, Liao Wan's pupils contracted suddenly, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and quickly got on his horse.

This team was obviously the Nanchen scout team that had returned to the camp, and they were originally surprised which team had to stop and rest at the gate of the camp, but they quickly reacted that it must be their own enemy in front of them.

This team of Nanchen scouts was only six or seven people, in line with the basic configuration of the scout team, and seeing that the number of the other party was at least two or three times their own, they did not rush forward, but left five people to monitor the place, and the rest of the people returned directly to the camp to inform.

"Let's go." Liao Wan did not hesitate to order, dealing with five people is naturally hand-to-hand, but he can't be caught up by the enemy's brigade if he says anything.

Seeing the retreat of the Shu Han cavalry, those Nanchen scouts hurriedly followed, while Liao Bang rushed across the stream and jumped up the hillside, and more than a dozen soldiers surrounded him tightly, all very excited.

When the Nanchen scouts arrived at the stream, they were obviously hesitant, not knowing whether they should continue to move forward, but soon forty or fifty cavalrymen rushed out of the mountain col, and quickly rushed over to this side in two ways, on the left and right, obviously wanting to drive out these Shu Han cavalry who had discovered their situation.

"Captain?" The general was suddenly a little worried.

And Liao Wan took a deep breath, and a bold decision appeared in his heart: "Draw out the two equestrian good, you take them back to report now, don't go to Longzhong, go directly to Xiangyang, transfer the cavalry over, and so-and-so is going around here, maybe we can seize the opportunity to eat these damn scouts at once!" ”

"But ······"

Liao Wan glared at the general, and the general could only give up: "No!" ”

Watching the three people leave, Liao Wan pulled out his saber: "Sons, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Crossbow!" Liao Wan said coldly.

After the battle of Xiangyang, the short crossbow equipped by the cavalry has received more and more attention, mainly because although Shu Han occupies the northwest horse farm, but the training of the cavalry is definitely not a day or two of effort, so the real use is actually the original cavalry, so how to improve the individual combat power of the cavalry has also been put on the agenda, and the short crossbow is a very important part of it.

As the latest product of the Hanzhong Workshop, this short crossbow with reference to the Zhuge Repeater pays attention to the rate of fire and the convenience of reloading, aiming to allow the cavalry to cast as many crossbow arrows as possible in the process of charging, especially against the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which is also the only way to shorten the difference in strength between the two sides as soon as possible.
