"Here and here, I don't know the situation, the only thing we can be sure of now is that we can't show up, people here have a unique way of identifying their own people, let's go in, don't talk about lurking, I'm afraid that as soon as we come into contact with people, we will be recognized."

"Can it be imitated?"

"No kidding, do you think everyone is like the idiot woman I met before, and they will be fooled in a few words?"

"Listen to what you say, that woman is an idiot."

"Don't, that woman is not stupid, she can fool the past, that's Mr. Wang's credit"

Xie Shence's seven people were on the Sandao Ridge, looking at the west wind from a distance, the white scarf scout was pointing on the map with many markings drawn with pencils, and Chai He and Meng Liang were idling around.

For people like Chai He and Meng Liang, death is not terrible, what is really terrible is survival without purpose, and life without passion. And after finding a goal that can be fought for, death and despair, such frightening things, cannot make them change color.

Just like at this time, when Xie Shence, Li Yan Wang and others were waiting for each other, they were able to say such things that made people want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

The defense of the Zephyr Collar is not as strict as most people think, on the contrary, it is very loose. It is not a very high wall, five or six gates, and the flow of people is actually very large every day.

Xie Shence made a preliminary estimate that the daily flow of people was about 2,000 people, decreasing from early morning to noon, and then increasing from noon to evening.

This is very large for a cottage with a population of only 4,000 people.

In the world of horse bandits, outside, is a relatively unfamiliar word, the average family of horse bandits, throughout their lives, may be in and out of the camp as many times as they flee, or die once or twice.

Nearly 30 percent of the people are coming in and out every day, which shows the tragedy of the war and how much support the front line needs every day.

However, even in this case, it is impossible to get in and out of the crowd to find out the news.

The scouts of the White Turbans were lucky enough to get close to the walled city, but they ran into horse bandits and executed spies at the gate of the city.

One or twenty government catchers and spies were found out and then beheaded

The scout could hear it clearly: everything that had come in had been cleared.

The fact that all those who came in had been cleared meant that almost all the traces of those who came in were in the hands of the bandits.

Strangers are transparent here, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at them, and each one of them may be a dark line for horse bandits. That's why there was that conversation.

They have a special way of identifying their own people, and they have surprisingly strong control over the families of ordinary horse bandits.

"I can't get in, it's a strong management model. It's about sitting together and rewarding people in action, much like the law of the people during the Great Qin Empire."

Xie Shence's fingers rubbed the head knife that he had retrieved, and said to Xiao Wang: "Sir, if you want to break through the barrier of this west wind collar, what is the best way to do it?" ”

Xiao Wang Mune's face moved slightly, and he said, "Only arrest people." ”

Xie Shence smiled and said, "Sir is the same as I thought. Just arresting people."

"It doesn't work again."

"Yes, it won't work."

Chai He asked: "Since arresting people is the best way, why can't you arrest people?" ”

"Those people have passwords to enter and exit, and there are guards who have specially checked and arrested a person, and if there is one person missing, they will all be aware of it. Once you notice it, the password is changed, even if you get the previous password, it is useless. What's more, those people are all traveling in groups, they are all acquaintances, catch one, and then mix in one, unless it is a top-level disguise technique, it is simply impossible"

"It's complicated."

Chai He spread his hands, saying that he didn't want to think about it.

"So," Xie said, "the key is actually there"

"On the guard."

Xiao Wang took over and said: "However, if the guards don't go out of the city, we can't get close to the gate of the walled city, so this one won't work again."

Neither path worked, and Chai He and Meng Liang were completely entangled.

The next moment, Xie Shence and Xiao Wang glanced at each other and suddenly smiled.

This smile made Chai He and Meng Liang even more puzzled.

"Why is Childe still laughing?"

"Is there a way? But what can be done? ”

King Li Yan smiled slightly.

"Qingshan is not me, I am Qingshan"

"Wait, I can't hold it over there," Xie Shence sighed and said.

Sure enough, in early March, the two ridges that seemed to be impregnable were finally broken by the government soldiers.

The previous attacks like a tide were not exactly the elite of the government soldiers. Ordinary officials and soldiers can also be competent, but since the elite soldiers are the main attacking troops, the number is not large, and it is impossible to be a candidate for the work of invading and surrounding the enemy.

As for most of the government soldiers, they have been broken into pieces and infiltrated into the mountains and forests to carry out special operations.

Blow up.

The Jin Kingdom has gunpowder.

Strictly speaking, except for the batch of gunpowder that Xie Shence was researching, which had been used as a bargaining chip to dominate and balance all parties, the prescription had already been dedicated to Emperor Jin. It's just that the research progress of the Shenji Camp is too slow.

But it's better than nothing.

After all, the Shenji Battalion still groped for the part, and then carried out mass production - although there were more defective products than finished products, and the power was not as exaggerated as the legend, but in the eyes of Emperor Jin, this actually represented the level and meant change.

Since Xie Shence stepped down, Ti Cai returned to the hands of Emperor Jin, for this henchman, Emperor Jin gave as always the attention and favor, so some gunpowder, also through Ti Cai, part of the flow to Wei Liao's hands.

The reason why it was used in this battle against Overlord Flower was that Wei Liao was testing the fineness of gunpowder.

The result of the test was that although some of the gunpowder failed, it still worked when it should have worked. For example, a small canyon was analyzed by Tiqi with an exquisite structure, and it was blasted off and blown to the ground.

The gap was opened, and a few days later, the horse bandits, who were inferior in combat strength, were forced to retreat to Sandaoling.

Then, the opportunity to thank Shence came.

Between Sandaoling and Xifeng Village, it was the most dangerous area, and with the loss of the mountain range in front, the vigilance and defense were chaotic. The large number of wounded soldiers and the arrival of the army of horse bandits disrupted the established order, and panic, fear, and anxiety gave an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"In fact, as long as we wait a few more days, we won't be able to hold on"

Xie Shence, who can only rely on eating raw wild animals to maintain his energy in the past few days, has a sallow complexion, chapped lips, and bloodshot eyes at the corners of his mouth.

"Some people have already noticed our existence, but only a few days ago, a collar was broken, no one came, we are now no different from those horse bandits, you look at the clothes, you look at the face"

"It's good to get in. Sandaoling is not suitable for defense. The government soldiers vigorously pressed it, and it was only a few days if it was broken. In one go, it is the best time for the government soldiers, if you waste and think too much, the government soldiers are not so wasteful, and the cavalry will not allow such a thing to happen"

"After all, you brought it out single-handedly, and you still know them best."

"Master said with a smile, where did I bring it out single-handedly, but I said that I understand, there are a few of us, and it is indeed that I know best."

Xie Shence and Xiao Wang Li Yan were discussing, and Chai He next to him couldn't help but interject and asked, "How did Gongzi know at the beginning that Tiqi would definitely capture a collar in a short period of time?" I now know that those people have a thunderstorm, and the explosion was loud a few days ago, but、But Childe, how did you know before? Could it be that in the ride, there is still your eyeliner? ”

Xie Shence, who was already ready to stop and was ready to see the right time to blend in with the retreating crowd, pulled the package on his body, and said with a smile: "I don't have any eyeliner, I know because, I just know." ”

On the other side, Tian Zi, who was wearing soft armor and did not wear a helmet at the suggestion of the general, looked at the soldiers and rushed to the position of the Sandaoling horse bandits, and muttered: "Who knew that he actually had a thunder and thunder, a thunder!" ”

Tian Zi, who gritted his teeth, threw the helmet that symbolized his status and therefore was easy to become a target of decapitation on the ground, and a general behind him hurriedly picked it up, not daring to look at the gloomy face of the young master.

Tiqi has gunpowder but does not use it, which in Tian Zi's eyes is a breach of contract and a humiliation.

He wanted to defeat this group of horse bandits who had left him with no face, and his original intention was to rescue his pregnant wife as soon as possible. Now that it has been more than a month since his wife was robbed, he can only walk to the periphery of the horse bandit village, how can he not be anxious?

And Ti Qi obviously has a powerful and crucial weapon, but he delayed taking it out, repeatedly delaying, and did not use it until he urged him three times a day, which was to look down on him, to neglect, and to ignore what happened to his wife.

Tian Zi was urged, when he and his think tank were powerless, he really urged three times a day, and the general and the director of the cavalry who commanded this army were almost annoyed to death by him.

Tian Zi didn't feel annoyed, but that night, after being frightened from the bed to the ground by the earth-shattering thunderclap, he had a deep grudge against Tiqi and the government soldiers.

We can't help it, you work hard, I am grateful to you, you are my brother, you are my benefactor. Whatever you want from now on, I can take it.

You have a way, when I need it urgently, when I beg you lowly, you hide it, that's my wife! She's been kidnapped by bandits! She's pregnant!

You dogs, mothers, raisers!

It's not your wife who is being kidnapped!

Tian Zi looked at the government soldiers and the crazy grass and mud horses in his heart, but when he faced Zhang Bi, the general of the government soldiers, he was full of smiles.

"General Zhang won the overlord flower this time, a great achievement, don't forget the little brother in the future, the little brother will be in Shandong Road in the future, and he will still count on Brother Zhang's support"

"Hahahaha, Brother Tian is serious, he's serious! If the elder brother can haha again, what is the problem of supporting, no longer a problem! It's just that it's convenient to move at that time, and I want you, Brother Tian, to help."

Zhang Bi said this in a daze, but he said haha, but his words revealed great confidence and conceit, how could Tian Zi not understand? Zhang Bi believes that this promotion is inevitable, as long as the Tian family puts the icing on the cake at this time, the two families will have a relationship of "mutual communication" in the future, just like a family.

At that moment, Zhang Bi patted Tian Zi on the shoulder, just like his superiors often do, expressed his appreciation for Tian Zi, and secretly carried him, knocking and beating by the way, so that Tian Zi would honestly follow him.

"Chasing the wind and catching the moon is not merciful, Brother Tian, as long as the horse bandits are exterminated, on the battlefield in the north in the future, the old brother is not an old bone, or some catties and two old brothers said here today, in the future, we ah, brother, you understand, let's win the battle first, ah? Besides. ”

Tian Zi smiled and flattered, and then sent Zhang Bi away.

After Zhang Bi left, Tian Zi watched the battle in the distance for a while, and when he, who didn't know the soldiers, saw that the situation was actually one-sided, he felt bored, so he went back to the tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, the smile on Tian Zi's face was full of joy, and it all turned gloomy in an instant.

This is completely disrespectful to me, I have played tricks, and I want to spend money and contribute when you are promoted.

Thinking like this, Tian Zi took the pen and paper and began to write a letter to his home, so that his father could prepare early.

However, when Tian Zi considered the words and sentences to revise the third finalized draft, the staff ran over, looking panicked, as if they had been stepped on by the tail.

"Defeated, defeated, Zhang Bi was defeated, more than a dozen people rushed over after the overlord flower was killed, and three hundred people couldn't stop Zhang Bi from running when he was shot with an arrow, I, we were defeated"

Tian Zi listened to the report of the staff that was not clear and complete, and the letter that had just been written and the ink had not completely dried was tightly held in his hand.

Sure enough, Made! This bunch of garbage

The thing that added another layer of anger to Tian Zi's anger was like this:

After the government soldiers pressed on it, they were located on a relatively open battlefield in Sandaoling, and a frontal battle broke out with the horse bandits. After a hard battle, the soldiers with the cooperation of the Ti cavalry gradually gained the advantage. With the expansion of the advantage, Zhang Bi issued the order for a general offensive -- there was no problem with this, and taking the opportunity to expand the results of the battle and take an important pass in Sandaoling in one fell swoop was an important part of the strategy, and it can be said that Zhang Bi's decision was completely in line with the ability of the government soldiers and also in line with the situation when the government soldiers completely had the upper hand at that time.

However, the horse bandit they faced was the subordinate of the West Wind Leader Overlord Flower.

When the horse bandit brothers couldn't stand it, naturally the horse bandit boss came forward to solve it.

So when the horse bandits were about to be defeated on all fronts, the overlord flower was killed.

The eighteen horsemen were like battle axes, and the hula chiseled through the thick formation of the government soldiers, and the horse bandits were full of momentum, faintly showing signs of counterattack.

Seeing this, Zhang Bi immediately commanded his 300 men to go to the rescue, and then the scene seen by the Tian family's staff happened.

The eighteen horsemen, who had been unscathed in a round of charge, charged again, and the three hundred men held out only for a moment before they were defeated.

Zhang Bi was shot in the back by an arrow from Ren Zhongxing when he was holding his head, and he fled on his horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
