Chapter 82: Collusion

Latobe stood up, walked to the curtain of the big tent, and looked at the dozens of carriages parked in the open space in front of him, carrying what he needed. Turning around, looking at Huo Zhu, who was confident in savoring milk tea, he knew that he could not refuse.

Who was behind Huo Zhu? Latobe knew that it was the top figure in Da Yan. If such a person had to deal with a few people, how could he care about the lives and death of the people in a county above the border? He was just a little strange. With the energy of the man behind Huo Zhu, why did he work so hard? Maybe a letter could solve these people, but he couldn't do it. He wanted to borrow his own knife, which only means that there was a powerful force behind these people. Thinking of the situation in Liaoxi County, the answer was no longer clear.

"I want to know, after I do this, will Zhang Shou come to cause trouble for me on a date?" Latobe walked to Huo Zhu and asked with a leaning over.

"Class leader, if you successfully kill them all and destroy Fufeng City, then I dare to assure you that Zhang Shouyue will never cause trouble for you, but if you don't kill them and leave any troubles behind, Zhang Shouyue will really be in trouble for you!" Huo Zhu said with a smile.

Latobe was stunned, "What's the reason, I don't understand!"

Huo Zhu stood up and took a few steps in the tent. "It might as well give the patriarch a little bit of a clarity. These people are related to Zhang Shouyue's wealth. Because these people have great potential to cause trouble for our business with the Donghu King in the future, and no longer allow any inflow of materials. But if these people die, Zhang Shouyue will rely on us to share his pie to maintain his army. I say so, does the patriarch understand? So, even if the patriarch does not take action, I believe that the Donghu King will definitely take action."

Latobe is also a person who has experienced the vast oceans. He already knows what Huo Zhu said.

"Okay, I did this. Mr. Huo, I don't want any other rewards from you, but after taking Fufeng City, everything in the city belongs to me." Ratobe said.

Huo Zhu laughed, "The patriarch has a big appetite, okay, no problem, that's it. Fufeng is yours, I only have three heads." He stretched out his hand and held it heavily with Ratobe, "When will the patriarch take action?"

"Not now!" said Ratobe. "It's time to breed livestock. This is a major event that concerns our tribe's livelihood. It's absolutely impossible to ignore it."

Huo Zhu knew this, "When will the clan leader send troops?"

"We have to wait until mid-April at the earliest!" Latobe calculated the time in his mind, "This is the earliest time I can send troops. Mr. Huo, this is the small number of livestock in our tribe. If we change to a majority of Donghu, we will probably not be able to complete the journey until May."

"Very good. It's mid-April, and it's just that I've had something important to meet with the King of Donghu. It takes a month to go back. When I come back, it's just the time for you to start. The patriarch, without my help, you'll probably not be able to defeat Fufeng City." Huo Zhu said with a smile.

Compared with last year, Curie Pass is completely different. The newly renovated city wall was raised by one meter high. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the soil was soft during the snow, Gao Yuan ordered the soldiers to dig a large amount of soil and build a slope for the city wall. The project cost of this slope was not large, but it could cause huge trouble to the siegemen. The ladder could not be raised up, unless you first shovel the oblique foundation, and the digging of these soils formed a trenches of about five meters wide and two meters deep, forming a new barrier to the city wall. Although there is no water and cannot be called a moat, it is a natural obstacle for the enemy Donghu people outside Curie Pass.

Behind Curie Pass, a new camp has been built. The walls made of rammed earth are covered with thick thatch. Cutting down the dense forest in front of Curie Pass has made a large number of fences, connecting the entire camp with the city wall. Within the fence and before the camp, there is a spacious schoolyard. On the flat site, it is compacted and flattened with fine gravel, and is not afraid of rain and snow. It can be used.

At this moment, on the school ground, more than 300 soldiers except for the sentry guarding on the city wall, the rest gathered on the school ground and practiced their own.

In the middle, led by Gao Yuan, more than 200 people held the long swords specially made for them in both hands, and lined up in neat formations. Following Gao Yuan's movements, they stepped forward, and Mount Tai pressed the top and slashed down fiercely. Every time they slashed down, it was accompanied by a loud angrily shout.

Step up, kill, sideways, reverse, step up, slash down, lunge, stabbing. There were not many movements, and they were tossed and turned, all of them were these movements, but with the roars, the entire team's movements became faster and faster. Slowly, the center of the school field was full of rolling sword lights.

In a corner of the school ground, infantry held a bow in his left hand and tucked the strings in his right hand. The bow was like a full moon, and the sharp arrows shining with cold light were placed on the bow strings, attracting them without fifty archers behind him, standing in dislocation, maintaining the same movements as him, except that some of their arms were as stable as rocks, while others were trembling slightly, because on their left wrists, they were tied with a brick with a rope.

The infantry's faces were sweating like rain, but people were stuck on the ground like a nail. In front of them, human-shaped targets were nailed to the fence, and all the key points were painted black with black charcoal, which was obvious at a glance.

"Everyone has stabilized. Your body, left and right, are all your comrades-in-arms. If your hands are trembling and cannot hold the string, you may accidentally hurt your comrades-in-arms." The infantry shouted loudly. "Your feather arrows will be shot only when you really can't hold on, but remember that the top ten people who shoot arrows will be practiced for an additional hour. The top ten people who shoot arrows but don't hit the key points, practice for another hour!"

Accompanied by the shouts in the center of the venue, the sweat rain of fifty archers.

Finally, a roar sounded, and an arrow came out of the string. With a snatch, it hit the forehead of the target on the fifty-step fence. In the queue, a young soldier had weak legs, knelt on one knee, and kept gasping for breath. Looking at the feather arrow that shot the vital points, his face was both ashamed and glad. It was a blessing in disgrace to practice for only one more hour.

With the first one, the sound of arrows kept ringing, and one feather arrow after another flew out of the soldiers. Some hit the key points of the target, and some shot in other parts, and a few arrows broke out from the target.

Until all the feather arrows in the hands of the soldiers had been shot out, the feather arrows in the hands of the infantry flew out with a scream, and it hit the throat with a snatch. He turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him with a look of admiration on his face, "Yes, I persisted for half an hour today to meet the required rest, but not the required one. After half an hour, practice more!"

When they heard the words of the infantry, a group of people smiled happily, carried the longbow, walked to the side, and carefully removed the bowstring. For them, the bowstring is an extremely precious thing and is extremely difficult to replenish. If they are not kept well, the arrow will lose its strength if it becomes soft.

The others were resting, but the infantry did not go with them, but erected another turntable on the edge of the fence. The paddles like windmills were plucked by a soldier, and Hulala turned.

The infantry opened his bow and stringed his breath, stared at the rotating blades of various colors, and suddenly shouted softly. The feather arrow turned into a lightning bolt, and shot out with a whoosh, and a snatched the turntable, and the paddle was turned back by the arrow. Everyone could see clearly that the arrow shot red blades.

"Okay!" The soldiers watching all applauded vigorously and cheered.

"Come again!" The infantry also smiled and shouted loudly.

The turntable turned again, and the infantry began his second round of shooting with all concentration. This was the task assigned by Gao Yuan. Now, among his ten arrows, seven or eight arrows could accurately hit the target. In this way, the accurate head was not difficult, and the difficulty lies in advance prediction and calculation. Just as Gao Yuan told him, in the chaos, if he misjudged the slightest mistake, he would accidentally hurt his comrades. Gao Yuan was actually quite satisfied with the achievements in front of him. Gao Yuan believed that even among the Xiongnu and Donghu people who were famous for their cavalry and shooting, there were only a handful of archers as high as the infantry. But the infantry was not satisfied. He could only hit seven or eight arrows in the ten arrows. The two or three arrows that failed were injured by his comrades. He wanted to be perfect.

In the middle of the school grounds, Gao Yuan's clothes were already wet, but he was still practicing these extremely simple movements meticulously. Only by being simple can one be fast, and only by being fast can one more effectively kill the opponent.

Gao Yuan knew his weaknesses well. Close combat was his strength, but in the era of cold weapons, fighting with long spears and halberds was the most common. His military spears and short swords could only be effective during close combat. He was unable to achieve long-distance fighting. He wanted to make himself a general without weaknesses. This knife holding in both hands, which was nearly two meters long, was his new weapon.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Amid the shouts of killing, Cao Tiancheng appeared at the barracks with a smile, "Kaifanluo, brothers, Kaifanluo!"

"Should!" Gao Yuan slashed violently, put the knife away and stood up. Behind him, more than 200 soldiers' movements were neat and tidy, putting the knife away together.

"Take a bath and eat!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, and the soldiers turned around, walked to the wall in a row, put the long swords into the sheath, and then placed the long swords neatly beside the wall, and then dispersed the formation. In the schoolyard, there was finally a sound of laughter and fighting.

Gao Yuan walked to the wall with a smile, lifted the scabbard, closed it inward, and with a bang, the long knife was put into the bamboo scabbard. Gao Yuan designed this long knife that was too long and could not be pulled out from the sheath hole. This bamboo sheath opened on one side, and the long knife was pulled in from the side. When it needed to be taken out, the knife grabbed it slightly downward, touching a small mechanism at the sheath hole, and the entire long knife was deshewn out, making it extremely convenient to draw the knife.

In Gao Yuan's room, there was a plate of pickles, a plate of mutton, and a plate of fried wild vegetables on the small square table. Compared with the soldiers, there were only more wild vegetables. Sun Xiao, Cao Tiancheng, Yan Haibo, the infantry and Gao Yuan sat around the square table, gnawing on the steamed buns in big mouthfuls and drinking porridge.

"Today I'm going to go back to Fufeng City!" Gao Yuan tore off the mutton and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it all over the mouth and said to the four people vaguely: "There have been news from Helanxiong these two days. The Hutu tribe has had abnormal movements. It seems that they are going to take action. I have to go back to Fufeng to report to the Wu County Magistrate and the County Captain to prepare for this battle. I am not afraid that they will come to fight Curie Pass, but I am afraid that they will bypass Curie Pass and then go to Fufeng County to rob. The county must make all preparations."

"Don't worry, we are here!" Sun Xiao nodded vigorously, "I really hope to get started early. I can't help but chop off their heads to avenge Lao Cao."

"Brother Sun!" Yan Haibo cut off Sun Xiao while looking at Cao Tiancheng with some concern.

Cao Tiancheng's face twitched slightly, but immediately became nothing.

"I set off after dinner and could rush back to Fufeng City at night. When I was away, Sun Xiao was responsible for all the affairs of Curie. Sun Xiao, remember, the whistle cavalry can be farther away. In addition, I must strengthen the contact with the Helan tribe. I will rush back tomorrow night at the latest." Gao Yuan said.
