Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

20 miles outside Taoshan County,

The convoy carrying the weapons was moving forward slowly.

It was early spring in the northwest, the weather was still cold, the snow was melting, and the dilapidated official road was bumpy and muddy, making it extremely difficult to travel.

They set out from Yanguan and travelled a maximum of 20 miles a day, and today was no exception.

"Everyone set up camp, build a fire and cook!"

The captain in charge of escorting them discovered a ruined temple and ordered them to set up camp. The general believed that the terrain of the ruined temple was not suitable for camping and that there was a serious bandit problem in the northwest, so he suggested walking a little further.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The captain's face turned ugly, and the general clasped his fists:

"My subordinates dare not."

The composition of the team is too complicated. The general flag is from the Yanmen Pass organization, and the people brought are all confidants. The centurions are affiliated with the Imperial Guards, which are the royal guards.

The military also has a food chain.

The Imperial Guards looked down on the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards looked down on the Border Guards. The General could only remind his confidants to be careful at night.

The convoy stopped to set up camp. Not long after they finished eating, snoring sounds were heard from the dilapidated temple. The high-intensity travel every day would make one tired even if they were in good physical condition.

I don’t know how long it took, but a gust of wind blew by, and the campfire made a crackling sound, covering up the subtle movement.

On the hillside a hundred meters away from the ruined temple, Li Si led his men and quietly moved towards the ruined temple.

They were wearing black night clothes, blending into the darkness. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to see them at all. Moreover, most of them were fast asleep.

We were still three blocks away from the ruined temple, and we could already see the faces of the soldiers under the bonfire.

Whoosh whoosh!

suddenly,

The sound of breaking air exploded in my ears.

Puff puff puff!

Li Si opened his eyes wide and felt cold all over. He wanted to shout, but a hand reached out from the darkness and covered his mouth.

Pfft!

The black dagger flashed with a cold light and cut his throat as fast as lightning. His body temperature was dissipating, Li Si's eyes widened, and he fell limply to the ground.

He never understood what was going on until his death. Wasn't it agreed that they would work together inside and outside the country and achieve great things?

The team led by Li Si didn't even have a chance to struggle and completely lost their chance of survival. The sneak attack failed and they were killed in return. This is probably the funniest sneak attack, right?

on the hill,

The large group of people could vaguely see the movement below,

"Already exposed, force the attack!"

His voice was so cold that it had no warmth at all. Dense black shadows crawled up from the ground and rushed towards the ruined temple at an extremely fast speed, with no intention of hiding their bodies.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that a close combat was about to take place. Torches were lit in the dilapidated temple, illuminating rows of neat figures.

If the bandits fail in their surprise attack, they will never confront the professional soldiers head-on. They will temporarily avoid the sharp edge, follow secretly, and wait for the opportunity.

The men in black are different from the bandits. The moment the torches are lit,

"Disperse!"

Quickly divide the troops, make a detour to the left and right, and attack the center.

The general flag looked frosty:

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Arrows rained down, dense arrows shot at the man in black,

Puff puff!

The men in black who were not hit by arrows rushed even more frantically, as if death was not a terrible thing.

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Another rain of arrows.

Puff puff!

Arrows pierced the flesh, blood splattered.

Those who were shot in the vitals were killed on the spot, and those who were not shot in the vitals got up and continued to charge.

It's a assassin!

Even for the most fearless warriors, facing fully armed, well-trained and calculating soldiers, it would only add a beautiful resume to them.

After several rounds of arrow rain, no man in black could stand up, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Cleaning War..."

Pfft!

The general opened his eyes wide, lowered his head, and a knife pierced his left chest from behind.

He turned his head with difficulty, his eyes red and full of resentment:

"Why!"

The centurion sneered:

"Because you're in the way!"

puff.

The knife was pulled out, and the blood in the chest gushed out, splashing on the face. The general slowly fell down.

He was careless!

When he came out, the commander-in-chief specifically reminded him that he must be extremely careful and vigilant during this transportation and not trust anyone, but he did not hear the implicit meaning.

So unwilling!

The captain wiped the blood off his face, and behind him were corpses all over the ground.

We wiped out a general's troops without any casualties, and no one escaped. We have to thank the dead men in black for this.

Without them, the general flag will not gather his own men. If he does not gather his men, there will definitely be casualties if they take action, and the news may leak out.

The battle was over, and the centurion blew the bamboo whistle.

A group of people appeared in the darkness.

They carried the goods, replaced the cargo on the wagon, and then left without any communication, disappearing into the darkness.

"Clean the battlefield!"

The captain then ordered to clean up the traces and pile the dead bodies together. At daybreak, they burned the bodies and then pressed the goods to set off again.

The world returns to peace, and flames illuminate the dawn.

Woo hoo,

The cold wind howled, as if weeping for the dead soldiers.

The convoy completely disappeared from the sight of the ruined temple, and a bloody corpse crawled out of the burning fire.

Beisheng Pass,

Murong Hai just got up when he received two pieces of military intelligence.

The convoy carrying weapons and armor was attacked by bandits, resulting in heavy casualties. Fortunately, the goods were safe.

The weapons and equipment were for the four guards at Beisheng Pass. If something went wrong, and the northern barbarians invaded, the soldiers would have to fight in furs.

What worried him was the second piece of military intelligence, or more precisely, the intelligence: there were northern barbarians in Wild Boar Ridge.

Wild Boar Ridge is on the edge of Qishan Mountain and in the hinterland of the northwest. He doesn't believe that there are a large army of Northern Barbarians, let alone dozens of Northern Barbarian cavalry.

The message was signed by Xiao Yunxi, so he had to believe it.

Call the pillar to come over,

"Immediately take people to Tangjia Village. Don't send too many people. Pretend you're transporting jade. Then find out how many Northern Barbarians there are in Wild Boar Ridge."

Murong Hai had to be cautious.

The number of Northern Barbarians is unknown. If we send troops in such a big way and they are noticed, Luochuan County will suffer, and so will the surrounding counties.

By then, smoke of war will be everywhere. When he sends troops to put out the fires everywhere, the northern barbarian army will approach the border, which will really be a bloody loss.

The northern barbarians hid in Wild Boar Ridge and did not launch an attack. It was probably because the time had not come yet. They wanted to find out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses before making any plans.

Simultaneously,

He sent spies to the grassland to gather information.

Even if there is a large army of Northern Barbarians in Wild Boar Ridge, the number of people will definitely not exceed 10,000. These people should serve as surprise troops.

For example, when a large army was approaching to attack a city, they would attack from behind.

In this case, there will definitely be large-scale mobilization on the grassland. As long as we grasp the movement of the army, we can take precautions in advance.

however

The spies found no signs of large-scale movements on the grassland, and the tribes were very quiet.

Murong Hai was a little confused.

Could it be that the northern barbarians from Wild Boar Ridge really got lost and broke in? Perhaps they themselves didn't even know they had arrived in the heart of the northwest?

It seems that this is the only explanation that makes sense.
