With a rustling sound, a large bush was cut down, and a figure with a knife walked out from behind the bush. Then, a small waisted and small headed hunting dog also came out and stood beside the knife holder. After a little glance at the terrain around, the knife holder continued to move forward, and the black hunting dog ran at the front, walked, sniffed, and turned around and shouted twice.

This is a special mountain force of the Tang army that is pursuing fleeing bandits. A group of fifty people is equipped with a hunting dog.

As a new type of military that the Tang army is now focusing on equipping, the equipment of the mountain special forces is very different from other Tang army units.

The heavy armor was abandoned. Instead, it was replaced by the latest combat clothing, which was said to have been designed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The colorful dyed cloth looked like the failed defective products in the dyed room, mainly grass green. Between the two thick layers of this cloth, there were pieces of steel sheets that protected the chest and abdomen and other key positions. It is said that this steel sheet is also the embodiment of the most advanced iron smelting and steelmaking technology in the Tang Dynasty today.

The steel sheet is very thin, but its toughness is excellent. Whether it is a gun stab or a knife, it can play an extremely good protective role. The only disadvantage is that when faced with heavy blunt force strikes, the protection performance is basically zero.

Bags of all sizes are designed everywhere on the clothing, each of which has its own different functions so that these soldiers can carry various supplies. Unlike the clothes in the past, this kind of clothing is a perfect match, with tripping buckles from top to bottom. It is much more troublesome when worn than in the past, but after wearing it, it is much more neat.

Compared with the clothes on the upper body, the pants on the lower body have changed even bigger. Without the thick trouser legs and too large gears, the overall look is extremely slim. With a belt tied with the latest combat boots, a wide armed belt tied with the waist knife, a armed belt tied with the buckles, and a crossbow bow, crossbow arrow, grenade, short dagger, etc., it is a heroic figure.

More importantly, convenience.

What makes the soldiers happiest is the latest change on the pants, which is opened in the middle door. Usually, there are two small copper buttons to buckle. When you want to make it convenient, you can unbutton the button and take it out and the guy can start to fuck it. It is more convenient than that.

The only thing that made the soldiers not very satisfied was that the helmets on their heads were actually grass-green.

This makes people feel a little embarrassed.

When they were in the camp, they always attracted some people to watch and laugh at each other when they walked outside in their clothes.

Of course, maybe there is still envy.

I heard that this outfit is quite expensive. Those who can wear this outfit are carefully selected from the entire army and need to train for more than half a year before they can be considered a qualified mountain soldier.

In addition to the changes in their clothing, their weapons have also changed a lot. There are few spears and spears. The soldiers mainly use horizontal swords and crossbows as their main combat weapons, and are equipped with some of the most advanced thermal weapons such as grenades.

The weight of each soldier's whole body is about forty kilograms. It is not much different from the weight of the past, but the difference is that most of the forty kilograms in the past are the weight of armor on their bodies, while the current forty kilograms are basically weapons used for combat.

This also greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of this army.

This is the mountain special combat force that Shi Zhuang has been preparing since last year. It is also the first special combat force of the entire Tang army. After Chen Changping took office as General of the Right Qianniu Guard, the same army in the direction of Eyue was also under training.

Ding's veteran Sun Debin was defeated by such an army.

He used 7,000 people to block reinforcements that Shi Zhuang might have arrived, but this freshly released force far exceeded his expectations. He felt that he had overestimated his opponent, but he never thought that his opponent's combat effectiveness was two stories higher than he expected.

He was quickly interspersed, divided and surrounded. While his seven thousand troops were still gathering, he was defeated one by one, and was attacked by his high expectations by his opponents. The information fed back on the battlefield made Sun Debin desperate.

This is the biggest consequence of losing territory.

Because he had no territory and sufficient supplies, he could not keep his troops in one place to support him. He had to distribute his subordinates in a wider area to feed each other, and then gather them together when they needed to fight.

However, all major traffic arteries and river ditches were controlled by the Tang army. He needed to spend more time bypassing these major traffic arteries and gathering troops through mountains and ridges. He originally thought it would only take longer, but the Tang army was unlikely to mobilize large troops into the mountains.

But he encountered such a unit.

So everything became a bubble.

Running faster than others, weapons are not as good as others, and health is not as strong as others, so there is no need to mention morale.

Failure is a matter of course.

Shortly after the fight, Sun Debin made a quick decision to give up the idea of ​​having a fight with Shi Zhuang this time. This was the first time that Ding mobilized troops and horses after entering the western Hunan region to show his presence, but the result was very sad.

If you are not an opponent, you are not an opponent.

Military orders were issued to allow all units to retreat.

The only thing that is beneficial to them is that they are more familiar with the mountains and ridges.

The remaining thousands of troops were divided into small troops and fled in the mountains, trying to escape back to their hometown.

In the past wars, as long as this move was used, the Tang army basically stopped. As long as it did not threaten those towns, the embankment and river channels, the Tang army would not bother to pay attention to them anymore.

But this time it's different.

These thousands of Tang soldiers were resolutely refusing to pieces and chased into the mountains without hesitation.

Tracking battles one after another, ambush battles began cruelly in the mountains.

Chasing and being chased, ambush and counter-ambush are staged in the seemingly peaceful dense forest. The bodies of countless people are silently lying in the forest, and when it is late at night, they become the food on the plate for the beasts.

But in the daytime, these beasts can run as far as they are. Even if they are the king of the forest, they will still be dead when they meet these people.

The thunder rumbling, and the dark clouds seemed to have pressed on the top of the treetops. Ding Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around, looked at his subordinates behind him, and said, "It's going to rain heavily, find a place to shelter from the rain and camp. The terrain should be higher. If it rains heavily, be careful of the mountain torrents."

Half an hour later, a group of people finally found a place to settle down, in a broad-leaved forest above a highland.

This time, after the war, I chased and killed the disabled enemies all the way, but I didn't bring any tents, and I didn't even have a single tent. I pulled the upper half of some not-thick broad-leaved forests together and tied them up, and then I turned them into a small natural tent. Then I folded some leaves to cover them, picked the vines and tied them to the left and right, and even if the task was done. As long as there was no strong wind, there was absolutely no problem. As for the tents built like this, there was some leakage, but no one cared about it.

With a sound of bang, the big bean raindrops fell down, and then, it seemed like a basin of water was poured down from the sky. In an instant, there was no other thing except the dense raindrops.

"Captain, are you still sending a guard post?" a voice shouted in the sound of rain.

"No need, can those bandits still touch it with such heavy rain?" Ding Ke touched the head of the military dog ​​beside him, took out a piece of jerky meat from his pocket, and threw it up.

The military dog ​​shook his head, opened his mouth wide, accurately caught the jerky. Then he lay down again and chewed hard.

Pulling open the two branches blocking the triangle door, Ding Ke looked out and said it was too heavy, and seeing this, it might not be able to stop for a while.

Such heavy rain is very dangerous in the mountains.

I still remember when I was training in the camp, the hunter once said that sometimes there was no warning about the flash floods, and when you found him, it was too late.

Even if you are a bandit in such heavy rain, you may find a place to shelter from the rain first? Besides, those bandits have been chased like rabbits, and they are too late to escape, so they still have the courage to come and cause trouble for themselves?

Put some dead branches I picked up before together and ignite them on fire. The shed became much warmer. Although the temperature was quite high during the day, the temperature dropped at night or when it rained. It would immediately make you feel the feeling of going from summer to winter.

I took out an iron box from one of my pockets of clothes, reached out to the outside, took half of the box of rainwater, covered it tightly, and went straight to the fire. After waiting for a while, I heard the box ringing, so I took out a dagger, pulled the box to the edge of the fire, inserted the tip of the dagger into a ring on the edge of the iron box, pulled it away, and opened the box. I took out a paper bag from my body, tore it apart, shook the seasoning inside, and watched the boiling water start to change color, then I took out a small bag, poured some fried noodles out, and took out a few pieces of jerky and threw it in.
