At the end of October, the first wave of tests on the frontal battlefield appeared at the mountain pass of Huangming County on the eastern front. This day was October 25th.

As early as three days ago, in the rugged mountains extending from the Yuyu River confrontation line in the direction of Jiange in Huangming County, the extremely complex scout battle had begun to escalate.

******************

Throughout the ages, no matter which army they are in, those who can serve as scouts are the most trustworthy confidants and elites in the army.

In an era when the consciousness of the modern army has not yet awakened, this truth is extremely simple: people who work for pay are humble, lowly, and have no subjective initiative. Even if they want to drive soldiers forward on the battlefield, they have to use extremely strict military laws.

Constraint, if you want to release soldiers and complete the mission without restraint, such soldiers can only be the most elite group in the army.

Only those who are close personal guards of generals, servants of aristocratic families, or raised warriors, or at least those who can benefit from the development of the war situation, can have such an idea of ​​​​taking the initiative to fight.

Zou Hu, who is 32 years old this year, was one of the original scouts of the Wu Dynasty army. He led a nine-man scout squadron and served under the general Hou Ji of the Wu Dynasty. He once participated in the resistance of the Xiangfan defense line. Later, he

Hou Ji's army violated military law too many times, and he lost his temper in front of Yue Fei. He claimed that he was attacked from both sides and was under great pressure, so he finally surrendered to the Jurchens.

Zou Hu had no objection to this.

He was born as a hunter in the mountains and was poor when he was a child. However, under his father's careful guidance, he developed the ability to cross mountains and ridges. He joined the army when he was more than ten years old. He was in good health and had seen blood. He was regarded as a tiger warrior in the army.

Elite training.

Hou Ji is a general with a traditional temperament, and military training pays attention to a fierce temperament. He thinks that without the temperament of a tiger or a wolf, how can he go into battle to kill the enemy? In the past ten years, the resources of the Wu Dynasty began to be tilted towards the army, and leaders like Hou Ji also got

With the support of some officials, it is not uncommon for soldiers to be domineering and bully villagers under the command of Hou Ji. Zou Hu's temperament was quite simple at first. After more than ten years in such an environment, his temperament has already changed.

Got to be brutal.

A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. In this world, the weak and the strong prey on the weak, and those who cannot hold a knife should be bullied.

Those who are paid, risking their lives to fight at the front, while others hide behind and enjoy the blessings. Under such circumstances, if you can't get any benefits, it would be really unfair.

——The elite men under Hou Ji have always lived in the presence of such voices. When it comes to some friction and competition, his group of ferocious tigers and wolves can earn some face. This makes them intensify their efforts.

The belief was strengthened.

Later, when the army mobilized the Xiangfan defense line and Yue Fei tightened military discipline without acknowledging his relatives, Hou Ji became one of the targets. The battle between Xiangfan and Xiangfan was already fierce, and the pressure on the front line was not small. Zou Hu felt that he was sent out every time - although

There weren't many times - I just tied my head to my waistband to try to survive, and how could I endure being held back by someone behind me?

Later, when the war situation developed, all the camps around Xiangfan were pulled out, and Hou Ji surrendered at the front line. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Speaking of ordinary times, for the people like themselves who worked hard on the front line, the imperial court put Yue Fei and these young men with green mouth and white teeth in high priority.

The officials' random commanding behavior even added fuel to the fire, and even said that Yue Fei's son was probably having an affair with the lascivious eldest princess in the court, so he was promoted - or that he had an unclear relationship with that bullshit prince...

…

How can the imperial court not be destroyed if it is so ignorant?

After joining the Jurchen army, life became much easier. On the way from Xiangfan to Jiange, although the really wealthy big towns were all raided by the Jurchens, as an elite scout unit under Hou Ji, everyone could always

Some oil and water were obtained - and there were almost no enemies. Facing the advance of Jurchen marshal Wanyan Zonghan, after the Xiangfan defense line collapsed, what followed was a road of destruction. Even if there were occasionally those who dared to resist, in fact the resistance was extremely weak.

When a man is born into the world, fighting like this is a refreshing experience!

Everyone talked about it every day and said to each other that this was a good employer. Hou Ji didn't have much affection for the Wu Dynasty. He had been poor since he was a child and was always bullied by landlords in the mountains. After he became a soldier, he bullied others. He had already convinced himself

This is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth.

After several months of seeking refuge with the Jurchens, Hou Ji gradually became able to speak more "reasonable" words when talking to his brothers. For example, the decay and destruction of the Wu Dynasty was the destiny of heaven and earth, and the rise of the Jin Dynasty was in line with the destiny of the world.

, this time following Da Jin, future generations will also have two to three hundred years of blessings - you can understand it by comparing it with the Wu Dynasty. If you all choose sides in time and make achievements, you will have a place in this world in the future.

In short, after fighting this battle, you will enjoy happiness!

In August and September, large armies arrived at Jiange one after another, and all the Han troops were naturally afraid. Jiange's majestic pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the battle started, most of the Han troops who had surrendered would be regarded as the first to enter the battle. However,

Not long after, Jiange actually opened the door and surrendered. Doesn't this further prove that our Kingdom of Jin has its destiny?

Without the Jiange, the battle in the southwest would be half successful.

In October, the army gradually passed the border. The main force under Hou Ji was arranged to hold the battle behind the Jiange to transport food. Zou Hu and other elite scouts were sent in first. On October 12th, the military civilian officials registered and reviewed everyone's roster and information.

, Zou Hu understood that this was a preparation to prevent them from defecting or surrendering to the enemy before the battle. Then, scouts from each army were gathered.

Tens of thousands of elite scouts were mobilized, and the number of elite veterans among the Jurchens exceeded 2,000. The person responsible for leading the scout troops was Yu Yu, a veteran of the Jin Kingdom.

"...There are more than 10,000 scouts alone...the war to destroy the country is set up..."

When talking to the brothers around him, Zou Hu imitated the tone he usually heard when reading poems and watching plays. His words were quite frivolous, but he could not help but feel shocked and proud in his heart.

"...The black flag ahead is not something to be trifled with."

When someone in the team said this, Zou Hu also nodded and took out his mantra: "A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. Don't you all see enough of the truth in this world? The commander has raised us for so many years.

You keep everything secret, why? If you are fierce enough, you will have something to eat... The Wu Dynasty has been out of business for a long time. The man named Ning is indeed fierce. He killed the emperor. We couldn't stand those guys and so we rebelled. You guys

You are surrounded by the most ferocious people in the world... In the future, whether you will eat meat or eat shit, no one will be able to gossip after fighting in the Southwest."

"...Why are we the ones who come in, while the others are arranged to transport food outside the Jiange? Because...this is where only the most vicious people can come in!"

Zou Hu cheered up his soldiers like this, feeling both fear and excitement in his heart. After joining the Jurchens, he was quite concerned about the reputation of being a traitor. He was not a traitor, nor a coward. He was a close friend of the Jurchens.

Generally, ferocious warriors and the court's stupidity forced their own gang to rebel! Just like the inner demon Ning Yi!

Now everyone is gathered in the southwest. This is the battlefield for the most powerful people in the world. After fighting this battle and earning great fame, people in the world will naturally look at you with admiration. Of course, by that time, you don’t have to explain yourself.

What, the world is full of money, and there will naturally be wealth waiting in front of you.

The scout troops assembled and the Jurchen general Yu Yu inspected the high platform, Zou Hu confirmed this. On the campus where he was inspected, there were elite tiger warriors everywhere. They belonged to the Jurchen scout team.

At first glance, he is the toughest veteran who has ever walked through the sea of ​​blood and corpses - this is one of the troops that Wanyan Zonghandu relies on the most.

In addition, the teams of Bohai people, Liao people, and Liaodong Han people are also the most elite scout members in the world at this time. Even if they are selected from the various surrendered armies, who among them does not have countless hands on their hands?

The elite among the elite who donate blood - the slightly worse ones are only qualified to plunder and keep food from the rear. They can't even enter the sword pavilion because it's too damn crowded here.

If such a lineup kills you, how can your side lose?

The Jurchens announced to the scouts the details of how to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, and the scout troops were soon sent out in batches. Near the mountain road that was dozens of miles long, the first thing the surrounding scouts had to build was a hundred-foot-long defense line.

——This is to prevent the black flag scout troops from sneak attacks on Jurchen generals and damage to the roads, and the most elite group of people were released into the rugged mountains to find passable paths.

The mountains near Jiange are surrounded by mountains, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to move. However, after passing the most rugged Xiaojian Mountain pass of Dajian Mountain, although there are cliffs, it does not mean that it is completely impossible to walk. The Jurchen army has enough manpower. If they can find a way

Coming through a narrow road and then letting the insignificant Han army pass - no matter whether the damage is huge or not - will completely defeat the undermanned Black Flag Army's blocking plan.

Because his own strength was not yet trusted, Zou Hu and the people around him were initially placed on fixed posts relatively far back. They squatted on the commanding heights among the rugged mountains, and there were still enough manpower to respond. Such an arrangement was not dangerous.

Not much, as the friction ahead continued to intensify, some in the team were happy, and some were restless - they were all elites in the army, and most of them had the unique skills of walking in the mountains to survive, and many of them were eager to show it off and do something.

Remarkable results.

The Han army may be far inferior to the Jurchens on the battlefield. They are just a bunch of soldiers who can't hold up the wall. But when it comes to individual soldier skills, after all, there are a lot of high-spirited characters among the scouts. Some of them are

Running in the mountains for a day is not tiring, some are walking across the mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, some are good at hiding, some are so murderous that ferocious beasts tremble at the sight of them, some traps are so well laid that it is difficult for ordinary people to avoid them, they have also received attention in the past

, now that we have surrendered, we naturally want to show off our skills to scare those Jurchens who have their eyes high above their heads.

Starting from Jiange to Huangming County, after walking ten miles, there is a relatively open settlement called Shiliji, which has been expanded into a military camp. The place guarded by Zou Hu's team is in the nearby mountains.

The densely packed soldiers were cutting down the trees, changing their appearance every day, as if they had the power to move mountains and reclaim seas.

He rested in the military camp near Shiliji every night. Not far away was another camp where elites gathered: it was a gathering place for Jianghu people who had attached themselves to the Jurchens. There were about 800 people.

Among the green forest masters who joined Zong Han one after another in the year, some of them had a grudge against Black Flag, and some even participated in the Xiaocang River War that year. The leading group among them all made great achievements in the war that year.

.

Most of these Green Foresters are Han Chinese, and people from both sides occasionally interact with each other. Many of the Green Foresters have unique martial arts skills. Originally, their eyes were higher than the top. Zou Hu and other elite scouts also had special skills. After showing each other, they all saved a point.

Respect. Opposite one of the leaders, a green forest tycoon named Ren Hengchong, nicknamed "Blood Covering Divine Fist", met Zou Hu and hit it off. When chatting, he talked about the Chinese army in front and said: "Ning Ning

Yi is nothing special. He was forced to be like Sun Tzu in Bianliang. Even in Xiaocanghe, I killed many of his subordinates."

Only then did Zou Hu know that the other party had known Ning Yi in Bianliang and had achieved success in the battle of Xiaocanghe. He immediately asked for advice. Ren Hengchong then talked about the battle with the Chinese army at Xiaocanghe, and also talked about his past.

He fell in love with Ning Yi in the capital, and later vowed to kill Ning Yi.

——Before this, many green forest people fell into the hands of Ning Yi because of this incident. Ren Hengchong learned his lesson and did not face Ning Yi recklessly. During the battle of Xiaocang River, he led a group of disciples and disciples into the mountains.

, his subordinates killed many members of the Chinese Army. His original nickname was "Red Fist", but later it became "Blood Covering Divine Fist" to show his domineering power.

After the Battle of Xiaocanghe, Ren Hengchong was appreciated by the Jurchens and secretly funded him, specializing in studying against the Chinese army. After the Chinese army moved to the southwest, Ren Hengchong came several times to do sabotage, but was not caught.

Last year, the Chinese army issued an order to eliminate traitors and compiled a list. Ren Hengchong was placed on the list, and his worth soared. This time, he was brought over as an elite during the Southern Expedition.

Ren Hengchong was a man of great ambition. He was successful in martial arts and was proud of himself for half his life. At that time, the situation in Bianliang was changing rapidly, and the leader of the Great Guangming Sect mobilized all the powerful men from all over the world to come to Beijing. Ren Hengchong came to Beijing as the leader of Huainan Green Forest.

At that time, he had been famous for more than ten years and was known as a famous figure in the green forest. In fact, he was only in his early thirties. He was really high-spirited and had a bright future. Some of the people who came to Beijing at that time were old. Even if they were more powerful in martial arts, he did not care about them.

In eyes.

At that time, Ren Hengchong believed that he would become a great martial arts master like Zhou Tong, Fang La, and Lin Zongwu in the future. At that time, the powerful Qin Siyuan stepped down, and the Jurchens were pushed back.

The land is vast, just waiting for him to perform on stage. Unexpectedly, a group of people later hunted Qin Siyuan, and everything was ruined in that massacre.

That day in the field outside Bianliang City, Ren Hengchong and others saw the inner demon Ning Yi standing on the slope in the distance, looking at them with a pale face and resentment. Lin Zongwu and others walked up and laughed at him.

Hengchong thought about challenging the big devil who was rumored to have the status of "grandmaster". All he thought about was making a big splash, but the next moment countless cavalry jumped out from behind.

Even Lin Zongwu, the best in the world, turned around and ran away at that time. Ren Hengchong was nicknamed "Red Fist", but in the face of the collision of the cavalry, his boxing skills were useless. He was collided by the horse and fell to the ground and was broken to pieces.

A tooth, his mouth full of blood, and then he was dragged and rubbed on the ground, his pants were worn off, and he was covered in wounds. A group of green forest people were chased by the cavalry until night, and he pretended to be dead among the corpses with his bare buttocks and buttocks
