Jin's Pi further to the north, the terrain becomes complicated, a broken valley on the edge of the plateau is obliquely horizontally from east to west, dense bamboo trees grow in the broken valley, in early summer, the forest is lush and green, there are often tigers, wild beasts such as the spree and so on haunt here, people and animals dare not approach.

On both sides of the broken valley, there are some villages or dock walls of different scales, and there are villagers who dig ditches indiscriminately to divert water from the white canal for irrigation and farming, because of the lack of planning, once the water potential in Guanzhong rises, the surrounding beaches are flooded, and it is not suitable for the march and pull of the brigade of men and horses.

Although there are also trails crisscrossing the area, only the villagers who were born in the village and often enter the area can discern the paths, and if outsiders enter rashly, they are very likely to get lost in them and will not be able to get out for a long time.

After the Hongwu army left the camp, it was divided into a small team of about ten people, and quickly went north against the edge of the plateau.

Zhai Hu was requisitioned by the Hongwu Army as a guide and followed the squad with another villager. Their group, which consisted of two guides, but only eleven, left the camp and rushed straight into the woods.

Originally, Zhai Hu was very conscious of being a guide, and he had been trying to identify some eye-catching markers on the way, but after traveling a distance, Zhai Hu found that these Hongwu soldiers were even more familiar with the surrounding environment than him, and they didn't need his guidance at all.

Even some unexpected culverts or beaches, even Zhai Hu didn't know, but they were cleverly avoided by the Hongwu soldiers. It can also be seen that although these Hongwu soldiers have not been in the country for a long time, they are already very familiar with the exploration and mastery of the environment and topography.

In order to reflect his sense of existence, sometimes he deliberately pointed to some traces in the forest and reminded: "There are tigers and wolves on the left, and you must ...... it."

"It's been hunted!"

The Hongwu sergeant on the side responded casually, and blocked Zhai Hu's reminder in his throat.

Young people always have a bit of competitiveness, Zhai Hu is also observing these Hongwu soldiers on the way, although the real fighting skills have not yet been reflected, but it can be seen that these soldiers have thick shoulders, long arms, agile movements, through the forest and ditch are all on the ground, even he and another guide, have to grit their teeth and run wildly to catch up.

In this way, they hurried for more than an hour, zigzags and turns, and Zhai Hu couldn't even tell how far they had advanced.

"Let's rest here for a quarter of an hour."

The chief of the team said in a low tone, and he felt very pleasant when he heard it in Zhai Hu's mouth.

Although he is the young master of the dock wall, but the turbulence of the countryside is rarely pampered, leading a team to hunt is commonplace, and his physique is by no means weak, but he has been on the road for more than an hour, and he is also tired and panting, his face is flushed, and his mouth is dry.

Therefore, as soon as he stopped, he sat on the grass and breathed for a while, but saw that the other Hongwu soldiers did not sit on the ground, some paced around the tree, and some climbed to the top of the tree at a very high place, and for a moment even gave him the illusion that all his companions around him had disappeared and he was the only one here.

Even if he still had any thoughts of winning or losing in his heart, Zhai Hu had to sigh at this time that these Hongwu soldiers were really perverts with sufficient physical strength, far beyond his reach.

When his breath calmed down, Zhai Hu turned over and got up, approached a watery pool to quench his thirst, but was suddenly stopped by drinking.

"Drink these."

A person next to him handed over a narrow water bladder, but Zhai Hu felt a little dazed, but he saw that the items carried by the Hongwu Army when they set off were minimal, especially the water bladder that they did not carry, where did this water bladder come from?

With this suspicion, he took the water bladder and took a sip but paused, the liquid in the water bladder was cool and slightly sweet, like water and slightly thicker than water. However, before he could ask, the water bladder had been taken over by others, and after a round of drinking, Zhai Hu saw a Hongwu soldier pick up the empty water bladder, lift a tree and stuff it into it.

When he looked closer, he saw that a small hole had been drilled near the root of the tree, and a bamboo pipe was inserted in it, and the other end of the bamboo pipe was poking into the water bladder, and transparent sap was rolling into the water bladder drop by drop.

The next thing is to divide the food, the small skin pouch is stuffed with the jerky that has been beaten very softly, and after a little chewing and swallowing, the small piece of jerky actually makes Zhai Hu, a strong man, feel slightly full.

There was a slight sound of wind in the forest, mixed with the chirping of insects and birds, and those Hongwu soldiers were leaning on or climbing on the trunks of the trees around them, and had begun to close their eyes and pretend to sleep, but Zhai Hu was full of questions and curiosity, and there was a trembling that could not explain the reason, and his mood was very uncalm.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to break the silence rashly, so his eyes fell on the Hongwu soldiers around him.

These Hongwu soldiers were all wearing thin shirts with tight ties, and each had a bulging cloth bag around his waist, and the cloth bag contained a disassembled rattan armor, which Zhai Hu knew. He was fortunate enough to receive a portion and put it on his body early, but he soon understood why these soldiers were not close to their armor, which was made of fine gel sol, and although it was light, it was soaked with sweat and then tightly bound to the body, making it difficult for people to breathe.

In addition to a man and a body of light armor, there is a sword, a bow, a staff, and two pots of arrows. The sword is three feet long and the staff is four feet long, and each other can be combined into a seven-foot chopping knife.

The bow is a stone fine bow, which also makes Zhai Hu greedy, his dock wall has accumulated for many years, and this kind of regulated fine bow can be worth more than 20 pairs, and it is even reluctant to use it frequently to avoid wear and tear, but it seems to be an ordinary standard in the Jin army.

As for the bow weapon that the chief is equipped with, it is even more exaggerated, the bow body is thick and close to the arm, Zhai Hu estimates that it is probably a strong bow of more than two stones at least, he has never even touched such a strong bow when he has grown so big, and it is even more difficult to imagine what kind of amazing lethality he can exert on the battlefield.

A quarter of an hour passed in a flash, although it also allowed Zhai Hu to recover some strength, but he felt even more sour. However, the Hongwu soldiers who were traveling with them all recovered their spirits and continued to start on the road. Seeing this, Zhai Hu and the other guide could only grit their teeth and keep up.

"This, this captain, we sneaked here, what exactly do we want to ......?"

After walking some distance, Zhai Hu was really tired and unbearable, the clothes and armor buttons on his body were untied and hung loosely on his body, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Silence!"

Before Zhai Hu finished speaking, he had been interrupted by a low reprimand, if he had a young and vigorous temper before, he would definitely stare and reprimand, but now he subconsciously shut up, and his wheezing voice was restricted.

"Go in that direction!"

Nash paused for a moment, listened attentively for a moment, and when he pointed in one direction and galloped away, the rest of the people all stepped forward to follow, and in the process of running, they had already begun to untie their cloth bags and drape their armor on their bodies.

"W-This is going to be a battle?"

Seeing this scene, Zhai Hu muttered to himself in his heart, and his heartstrings were tensed because of it, although he was full of doubts, it was obvious that no one gave him an answer at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and follow again. But because of the nervousness, the muscles of the limbs were stirred, the palms were sweaty, and even the blades were faintly slippery and could not be held.

As he ran, there was a shrill whistling sound faintly in front of him, and I don't know what it came from. The Hongwu soldiers in front of them were getting faster and faster, and Zhai Hu and the others were gradually thrown away, and they could only follow the traces to chase after them.

"Ah, Ah Lang, these soldiers are still not human......"

As he ran, the other guide was out of breath and said intermittently, this man was also a strong pawn in the dock wall, but by this moment he was exhausted by the rush alone, and his steps had become staggering.

Zhai Hu just snorted coldly when he heard this, and his mood became even worse, originally he was proud of his own strength, and there were few peers in the countryside who were close to him, but now it seems that this so-called elite of the king master, even an ordinary pawn can sneak to death without suspense!

He didn't even dare to imagine how such elite soldiers could meet the enemy if they were really gathered into a huge military formation?

Running a hundred feet or so further, the forest gradually thinned, the field was vaguely in sight, and the roars of various people and horses were also conclusively heard, and the scene of the battle also appeared in front of Zhai Hu.

In the field, more than a dozen horsemen were beating horses and galloping, but arrows kept flying out of the surrounding grass that was as high as people's chests, and people kept falling off their horses. Originally, the countryside was supposed to be a hunting ground for these knights, but because of the constant enemies flying out of the surroundings, these knights became the target of hunting!

At this time, Zhai Hu also understood where the screaming sound he vaguely heard just now came from, it was from those arrows. This kind of arrow, he also heard the elders mention, called Mingdi, which is the arrow of the suburbs and the battle array. At present, the Hongwu soldiers killed the enemy with this, and the sound fluttered far away, and the soldiers who were originally scattered all gathered here when they heard the sound and participated in the battle from different directions.

When he got closer, Zhai Hu recognized that the knights who were fleeing in a hurry were from You's dock, and they had been fighting with each other for many years, he was too familiar with You's, and he recognized at a glance that the second person in front of him was dragging the knife and running away, and even shouted and identified: "Don't get away from the second in the front row, he is Youguang, the third son of Youzhi......"

As soon as Zhai Hu's words fell, a sharp sound suddenly sounded in the grass in front of him, and a black light turned into a flowing rainbow and hit the swimming light that had already run dozens of feet away, and his body shook, and then he fell off the horse.

Then, Zhai Hu saw a person standing in the grass, who was the head of his previous companion. Such a strong bow and an arrow hit is probably a big burden for them, and at this time, they have changed their small bows and continue to shoot with strings.

By the time Zhai Hu really reached the edge of the battlefield, the battle was over, and nearly twenty knights rushed to the northwest field, which was the Hongwu Army knights who were responsible for luring the enemy and attracting enemy scouts to gather, although they did not directly participate in the battle, but wandered outside the battle circle, gathered back some of the war horses that were frightened away without owners, and more than 70 war horses were led here!

Seeing this scene, Zhai Hu felt even more chills in his heart, after leaving the camp, he spent most of his time in the forest running tiredly, but he didn't expect that the Hongwu Army had unknowingly completed such an amazing victory!

Zhai Hu is limited in his field of vision, and he can't get a glimpse of the whole picture. It's a pity that Youguang is dead, otherwise there should be more surprise to express, they scattered after leaving the dock wall as scouts, galloping in the suburbs to investigate the traces of the Hongwu army, and for some reason were gradually gathered, after noticing that something was wrong, they retreated, and after escaping for several miles, they were shot and killed by the Hongwu army that frequently emerged, and finally no life was survived!

Not to mention how these Guanzhong natives were surprised, this can only be regarded as a small scene for the soldiers of the Hongwu Army. Earlier, they had gone deep into the heart of the country, and through ambushes, lures and many other means, there was even no lack of merit in hunting the real big people of the country.

The battlefield was quickly cleared, and more than 200 Hongwu soldiers gathered here, and then divided into two parts, one part continued to walk north, and the other part rode on captured war horses and headed straight for Youshiwu. Although Zhai Hu still had the heart to follow all the way to the north, he had no choice but to have no physical strength, so he could only ride a war horse and return to Jin's Pi.
