Chapter 1 Strict(1/2)

The sky became darker and the air became more and more stuffy.

At the foot of the mountain is a black camp, with military flags waving and fierce fighting. A faint sound of thunder came from the wind, and a wave of dullness came from the flags. The flags were flying, and the sound of infantry training was vaguely heard.

On the horizon in the distance, a speeding black dot appeared faintly, getting closer and closer, and the crisp sound of horse hooves came from the ground.

The black dots gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a fast horse racing. The horse knight kept waving his whip and urging the horse under his seat to run for a long time from the speed of the horse.

When he arrived more than fifty feet outside the camp gate, the police whistle at the door had already seen clearly that the person who came was wearing his dynasty clothes and was full of civil servants, but he did not look like an ordinary clerk. He also carried a bag wrapped in yellow silk on his back. The guard's intuition made him more vigilant and shouted loudly: "The person who came stopped!"

"A bastard, this messenger came with the imperial edict to meet your head, Li Yi, but why don't you open the camp gate quickly and kneel down to welcome the holy wishes." The knight immediately shouted loudly.

The guard was shocked and quickly called another guard and told him a few instructions. The guard quickly ran to report to the tent. The guard ran down the watchtower and commanded a few soldiers to open the camp gate.

The knight outside the door also stopped Mahjong and looked at the barracks.

In a moment, a group of generals and officials came out of the direction of the big tent. The leader was wearing general's uniform, which was Li Yi.

When Li Yi was shocked when he heard the imperial edict, he quickly led the left and right generals and walked out of the camp gate.

The left and right servants carried out an altar and lit the incense table. Everyone knelt on the ground with the general, ready to listen to the imperial edict.

The knight immediately dismounted and took out a roll of yellow silk from the package behind him, walked to the incense table, unfolded it, and read it loudly.

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered: Li Yi, the commander of the Third Battalion of the border, was not effective, and he was killed and sentenced to death, and I was awarded this!"

Li Yi was shocked and was about to tell the difference, but the messenger suddenly pulled out a dagger from the imperial edict, which was as fast as the wind, and stabbed Li Yi's chest that had just stood up. At the same time, he laughed loudly and hid away from a distance.

From Li Yi's rise to the messenger's escape, in an instant, the messenger's body and movements were not a civil servant. He was simply a martial arts master.

With the envoy's laughter, a thunderous sound of horse hooves came from afar, but it was a team of Khitan cavalry.

Li Yi covered the blood-spraying wound and pointed at the messenger and said, "You...you...you are fake!"

He couldn't turn up in one breath and died with hatred.

The soldiers around were stunned by the sudden change. By the time they realized that the Khitan's iron cavalry had reached less than a single arrow.

In a blink of an eye, the Khitan cavalry rushed into the camp gate. The soldiers behind were stepping on top of their heads by the cavalry without knowing what had happened.

A bloody battle began. However, the camp gate was broken, the general was dead, and the army was disintegrated. Moreover, the Khitans were well prepared and had no intention of making plans, the third battalion at the foot of the West Mountain was almost destroyed in the meal. The soldiers were killed and injured, and the corpses were everywhere.

Since the opening of the station with the Khitan, there has never been such a crushing defeat. A large camp with 10,000 people was destroyed. The entire army, including the generals and officials, had more than 11,000 people, and only a few hundred people escaped.

At the same time, on the distant hill, several riders were quietly observing the situation of the Xishan Camp.

A man dressed in a scribe drove forward and bowed to a man dressed in a Khitan general and said, "Master, it seems that the Wei minister's calculation has been half successful."

"Hahahaha, Shijie, your trick is indeed different. Even if this plan fails, we will make the Southern Barbarians lose a team of ten thousand people and a camp, which is enough." The Khitan general laughed.

"The Lord said this, will another team of troops fail? Could it be that the Lord doubts our ability?" asked the scholar who was called Shijie, and he disagreed.

The general looked at the somewhat unhappy strategist, sighed and said bitterly: "Shijie, it's not that I despise your wisdom. The complete victory just now has proved your ability."

"Oh, that's it..." Fang Shijie hesitated and asked back.

The Khitan general looked at the bloody battlefield in the distance. The Khitan soldiers had already begun to clean up the battlefield. This time, the Khitans captured the village with a strange plan, seized countless food and supplies, and wiped out more than 10,000 people from the other side, but their own losses were less than 1,000. It is no wonder that the Khitan general said that this victory was a complete victory.

"Shijie, have you ever heard of an army of the Southern Barbarians when you were studying in the south, called the 'Wolf Army'?" The Khitan general turned to Fang Shijie and asked.

Fang Shijie looked at the general's solemn expression and replied in confusion: "No, isn't this army in another camp we are going to deal with?"

The Khitan General said: "That's right, you just arrived at the battlefield and arranged such a big victory for me in less than three days. I think you have a certain understanding of these Nan Generals, right?"

Fang Shijie said seriously: "The Lord of the Lord was very kind. He took him in since he was a child and sent Shijie to the Southern Dynasty to learn his culture and find out his secrets. Shijie did not dare to be slackened and worked diligently. In order to repay the Lord of the Lord, he had already explored the tempers and nature of these generals clearly before going to war."

Looking at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield in the distance, Fang Shijie said again: "Li Yi, like the ruler, all of them are in line with the rules and regulations. He is loyal to the Southern Dynasty, but his weakness is also here. The so-called general is outside, and the king is unacceptable. However, Li Yi opened the camp gate and went out to greet him in person because of a mere messenger. He also led the three armies of all sizes and kneeled down to greet him. How could this be allowed in the two armies?"

After a pause, he continued: "Yao Qun, the general of the Fourth Battalion, is simply a fool. If it weren't for the backstage in the court, he wouldn't even be able to make a sergeant. Moreover, most of the soldiers under him despise their character and cannot be called orders. Can such a person be able to see through my careful planning? Moreover, the fourth battalion stationed all prisoners, with only about 4,000 people, how could it be against our tens of thousands of cavalry?"

The Khitan General looked at Fang Shijie's face that was being distributed angrily, sighed, and said, "Shijie, you have just arrived in the army and are not familiar with the situation on the battlefield and have never been exposed to real fighting. In the Southern Dynasty, it was mainly due to the officials of the Southern Barbarian court to collect information, so it is normal not to understand the Wolf Army, but you must not underestimate the enemy!"

"Oh!" Fang Shijie was attracted by the words of the Khitan General and asked back: "Is this wolf army so powerful? Why didn't there be a single word mentioned in the information of the Southern Dynasties?"

The Khitan general turned his head and looked at Fang Shijie with a confused face, and shouted softly: "Sakhan!"

"Yes", a follower in the back row rode out and came to take action, and reported respectfully: "Returning to the Lord, the Wolf Army was a prisoner's army, so it was not mentioned in the meritorious service."

Fang Shijie was shocked: "Can this wolf army be this prisoner army?"

Sakan reported back: "That's right."

The Khitan general turned around and said, "Sakhan, you have faced the Wolf Army, tell Shijie about the situation of the Wolf Army."

"Yes." Sakan said, "The Wolf Army was originally an army composed of prisoners sent to the Southern Dynasty. It has always been a scattered discipline and lawless. Even the generals stationed in the border did not take them seriously. In the past, wars were mostly used as cannon fodder to die. However, in recent years, the Southern Dynasty has become more and more prisoners have gradually decreased. The prisoner army has no longer expanded and remained at about 20,000. After that, countless wars of all sizes and large numbers, and the prisoner army has gradually reached this scale, with only more than 4,000 people left."

Fang Shijie was very confused and asked, "Then why is the prisoner army called the wolf army?"

Sakan continued: "The Wolf Army is famous because of two points. One is that it does not obey the orders, and no general of the Wolf Army has been in the Wolf Army for more than three months; the other is that the Wolf Army is all tigers and wolfs. Five years ago, there were more than 20,000 prisoners, and it was reduced to 5,000 four years ago. But until now, the Wolf Army has participated in all major and large wars, and there are more than 4,000 people."

"Silk", Fang Shijie took a breath of air conditioning, "Can this wolf army be so brave?"

Sakan said: "There are now half of the infantry and cavalry in the Wolf Army. The Lord sent us to lead five thousand elite cavalry a year ago to restrain the Wolf Army. Who would have thought that as soon as we came into contact, the Wolf Army fought with us,"

Fang Shijie said: "Then are all fighting against the wolf army? It's not difficult to deal with."

Sakan said: "The five thousand elite cavalry we led are the most elite "Hu Ben Guards" in our army. They all take one to ten, and they are on the battlefield, and no one can defeat them."

Fang Shijie suddenly cut off Sakan's words and asked, "Wait, could it be that the Southern Dynasty victories a year ago, and the border guard Sun Xiao defeated our tribe's Hu Ben Guard and was promoted to the third level. He actually led the wolf army?"

Sakan said: "No. At that time, the commander of the Wolf Army was not Sun Xiao."

Fang Shi Jieqi said: "How about Sun Xiao, the good news of the Southern Dynasty court?"

"This is why you have never heard of the Wolf Army." The Khitan General took over the topic.

Fang Shijie was quick-witted and immediately reacted: "Can the Wolf Army not receive any reward for the merits made by this wolf army? Why did the Wolf Army still fight so hard?"

"Hehehehe, if you are sent to prisoners, you can leave the prisoner's identity and return to your hometown as long as you stay in the prisoner's camp for five years. However, in the killing formation, it would be easier to die in the past five years." The Khitan general sighed.

Fang Shijie had already felt something and asked carefully: "Master, since the wolf army is so powerful, why didn't the Lord remind me when I offered advice?"

The Khitan general smiled and said, "You are keen and have studied in the Southern Dynasties for many years, but you are arrogant and talk about war on paper. If you don't let you suffer a few setbacks, how can you become a great person?"

Fang Shijie was still dissatisfied, and suddenly heard an urgent report, "Report--", a provocate rushed over and got close to him, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down on one knee to report the report: "Report to the Lord, the Fourth Battalion was on high alert, and the 10,000 troops who attacked the Fourth Battalion were found ten miles away. General Hubi, who pretended to be an envoy, had no news. The army was attacked and harassed by two hundred scouts, and lost more than 600 people. The other party was not injured."

The Khitan general asked anxiously: "Why, there is no news yet?"

"Report to the Lord, General Hubi sent out a signal that failed to escape from the failure of his operation two minutes ago. He has not seen the general return until now." The detective answered respectfully.

"You go down!", the general waved his hand and leaned over and left.

He turned around and asked again: "Shijie, what do you think?"

Fang Shijie is more cautious now. After thinking about it, he said: "Master, the Wolf Army is so vigilant, it will never be the idiot Yao Qun's style. It can be concluded that there must be an extremely clever figure in the Wolf Army to plan."

The Khitan General looked at Fang Shijie and nodded, "Yes, there is indeed a wise figure in the Wolf Army, a very wise figure that is so terrifying that others are afraid of. The prisoner army was changed to the "Wolf Army" by the officers and soldiers who fought with us. Because of this person, I have suffered from the loss of my soldiers and generals. For five years, I have been unable to cross the line. Even if I have been meticulously trained for ten years, I have lost half of the "Tiger Guard" that is beyond the border. It has caused our entire army to be in a state of fear. Otherwise, how could a mere 200 scouts dare to attack and harass my 10,000 army, kill and hurt more than 600 people and escape unscathed."

Fang Shijie asked in surprise: "There is really such a person, who is this person?"

The Khitan general sighed and replied: "We have never taken the prisoner army into consideration. In the past, we were in vain to deal with the war. Both sides suffered casualties in every war. Until recent years, almost the Wolf Army had no major casualties, and our army suffered heavy casualties. Later, we had to send the most elite Tiger Guard to restrain the Wolf Army. Five thousand Erlang, but was completely wiped out by the Wolf Army in one battle. From then on, our army dared not provoke easily. We fought with long spears and shields, and defense was the priority and we would never take the initiative to attack. Such military power is really enviable!"

Fang Shijie smiled and said, "The Lord has not yet stated clearly, who is this person? Why did he stay in the prison camp?"

Sakan took over the topic: "It's not because the Lord concealed it, but I don't even know who this person is at the moment?"

Fang Shijie was silent for a moment, got up and got off the horse, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Master, Shijie was not well calculated and misunderstood General Hubi's life. Please punish him!"

The Khitan general looked down at Fang Shijie who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You have just arrived and have offered suggestions for our army to seize the third battalion of the Southern Dynasties, destroy ten thousand enemies, and boost the morale of the army. How can you punish such a merit?" After a pause, he said, "Besides, I originally wanted you to be frustrated by the Wolf Army and learn some lessons. I hope you can remember this lesson."

Fang Shijie kowtowed and said, "Shijie received teaching."

The Khitan general said again: "Don't underestimate yourself either. Although the Wolf Army is powerful, the Southern Barbarians' court does not know that by next month, this group of people should leave their military status and return home. You don't have to worry too much. Get up!"

Fang Shijie stood up and replied, "Yes." But he kept muttering in his heart, who is so powerful that the Khitan king actually admires him very much but has no trace of it.

The group rode their horses back to the Khitan camp.

In the fourth camp, a contest was underway.

Du Kai was still angry. The impersonator was actually a master. He surrounded him and killed fourteen brothers. Seeing his brother bleeding, Du Kai's eyes turned red. He took action himself and fought with the other party for a long time before he took a chance and used the sword technique of the boss to cut open the belly of the tough opponent.

Seeing the two hundred-man scouts returning swaggeringly, Du Kai became even more upset. It was so troublesome. If the boss knew, he wouldn't peel it. Thinking of the boss's usual methods against the enemy, and looking at the corpse of the enemy he killed, he was still uneasy. Why was the boss's tricks so bloody, even it was so difficult for someone to keep a whole body.

I was feeling uneasy in my heart, but I looked up and saw a face that nodded with a smile. A smile of habit, a calm expression. Du Kai was really shocked when he saw this face that was at least ten years younger than him.

"Boss, I..." Du Kai shouted anxiously.

The young man waved his hand to stop what he wanted to say, "I saw it all." Du Kai was shocked again, wouldn't he see his brother being killed?

The young man shook his head and said, "This is a master, at least at the level of a general. Judging from his tricks, it may be Hubi, the commander of the Huben Guard who was called the "Smiling Tiger" by the Khitans."

Du Kai was shocked after hearing this. What happened today? He was so shocked.

But this time I was really shocked. I actually killed Hubi, and Du Kai couldn't believe me anymore.

Although he is a disciple of Shaolin layman, he practices both inside and outside, and has martial arts skills. When he came to the prison camp, he became a centurion with extraordinary martial arts. However, Du Kai never dared to hope to fight for the "Smiling Tiger" known as one of the "Three Tigers outside the Frontier" by his own strength.

"Why, don't you believe he is Hubi?" the young man asked with a smile.

Du Kai shook his head vigorously, but still felt a little unbelievable. "Boss, is that really Huodu? Did I kill it alone?"

‘Hahahaha, with your ‘blood hand’ Du Kai, you are not so cowardly. You were also a character who broke into the enemy’s formation back then. What’s so great about killing someone? Why can’t you be so arrogant?’ The young man made fun of him.

‘Not the boss, it’s really this Hubi is not an ordinary person. That’s a ‘smiling tiger’! That year, the three tigers outside the frontier joined the Central Plains and made the whole martial arts world uneasy. Later, my master and seventeen masters and uncles used the Eighteen Arhat Formation to injure them and escape from the Frontier. Hubi was so powerful that it was obvious. Such a person was actually dealt with by me alone. It was really too... too... too incredible. ‘Du Kai stuttered a little later.
