"Who are you?!"
Yang Guo held the gun and interrogated the six captured people!
The six people kneeling on the ground finally saw clearly the military uniforms and scale armor and horse gear worn by the cavalry. Although Da Gan's iron smelting skills were not bad, they definitely did not have such good-looking armor. At this glance, they knew that these people were Zhou Jun.
At this time, a group of Zhou Dynasty soldiers and horses sneaked here quietly. What did they want to do? ! You’re not here to travel, are you?
Just when the leader of the Condor Cavalry was thinking about the purpose of Yang Guo and others, Yang Guo spoke again!
"Say it or not?!"
Although Yang Guo was taught by Yang Qingyuan, his extreme nature was hard to change.
Moreover, before coming to the border, Yang Qingyuan once said to him, "Kindness does not control soldiers."
"Guo'er, after arriving at the border, you have to temporarily forget what I taught you. There are right and wrong in war, but there is no right or wrong on the battlefield, only life and death. Behind you are the people of Zhou Dynasty! When you arrive in the Tiance Army , learn more and watch more!”
During the more than half a year at the border, Yang Guo learned a lot from life and death battles.
The most important point is that there is only life and death on the battlefield. As long as the enemy can be killed, all methods are reasonable.
Seeing that the first Condor Rider was silent, Yang Guo didn't pay much attention to him. He sent the gallbladder in his hand and penetrated the man's throat.
"I'm a talker and don't like to repeat myself. That would make me feel very uncomfortable."
Yang Guo is extremely talented and has been able to communicate smoothly in Ganyu for more than half a year.
Seeing how ruthless Yang Guo was, the remaining five Condor Cavalry trembled inwardly.
"Tell me, whose subordinates are you?!"
Hao Gendan pointed at the throat of the second Condor Cavalry. Although he had just finished killing someone, there was no blood left on Hao Gendan. It was still sharp. The pointed Condor Cavalry could even feel the edge of the gun. The chill on.
The second eagle rider hesitated. Although they were the most ferocious falcons on the grassland, the man in front of them was too terrifying. He would kill people at the slightest disagreement. He was simply an evil ghost!
Just when he was considering whether to speak, his throat was penetrated by the dragon's gall again.
Time is running out now, and Yang Guo doesn't have time to torture him bit by bit using ordinary torture methods. It is easiest to break down a prisoner's psychological defense with this huge sense of oppression between life and death.
Now the pressure is on the third person, the leader of the six Condor Riders.
"You must be their leader! After asking for the third time, I am already very impatient! If we don't get the answer again, you guys will have no chance! Not only you, but also your subordinates will die!"
This sentence seemed like a threat, but it was actually giving the leader of the Condor Cavalry a reason to speak, a psychological hint.
Speaking for the sake of one's own life and death is greed for life and fear of death.
But to confess for the sake of the life and death of your subordinates is to sacrifice yourself for others, to trade your own reputation for the survival of your subordinates.
After all, he was a disciple of the former Dali Temple Minister, and he handled many cases with Song Huifu and Di Zhiyuan. Yang Guo learned a lot of interrogation techniques.
Everyone did not want to die. The leader of the Condor Cavalry glanced at the remaining brothers and said, "I say!"
After having a suitable reason, the leader of the Condor Cavalry spoke.
"We are the Eagle Shooting Cavalry of His Highness the Lost Liesmen. This time we came out just to shoot some cattle and sheep for a change."
The status of the eagle riders is extremely high in Daqian. They are all top-notch in archery and riding skills, and they will not be punished for shooting a few herdsmen's cattle and sheep.
"The Lost Lies Sect?!" Yang Guo was a little confused. He had never heard of this name. He turned to look at the captains around him, "Who is he?!"
A bunch of people looked at each other and shook their heads. They really didn't know.
Yang Guo turned around and continued to torture: "Who is the Lost Lie Sect?"
Afraid that Yang Guo would continue to attack, the leader of the Condor Cavalry immediately said, "The Lost Lie Sect is my master!"
"..."
Listening to your words is really like listening to your words!
You are subordinates of the Shulie Sect, and the Shulie Sect is your master. What you said is true, but... why do you want to kill people so much? !
Yang Guo suppressed his anger and wanted to shoot this guy to death. After all, he was the leader among the six, and he would definitely know more. It was not time to kill him yet.
"What is the position of the Lost Lies Sect in Daqian?"
"His Royal Highness Shiliemen is the sect king of my Daqian, and the legitimate son of my Wo Kuotai Khanate, Kuo Khan!"
After saying this, Yang Guo had an idea!
The Ogedai Khanate is one of the four great khanates of Daqian.
After the death of Taizu of Daqian, his disciples had a tendency to become self-reliant and established the four major khanates to remotely compete with the center of Daqian.
If it weren't for Taizu and Jinshang, they would dominate China and look outside the pass.
Civil strife has already broken out in Dagan. It is precisely because of external pressure that Dagan has maintained this situation of being divided.
As soon as he mentioned the Ogedai Khanate, Yang Guo understood.
After being stuck in the north for so long, the four great khanates still know about it!
"Map! Compass!"
A team on the side immediately took down the map and compass from their horses!
After Yang Guo used the compass to determine the direction, he looked at the map.
"We walked all the way north from Dongping Gorge! It's about six to seven hundred miles away. How did we end up in the territory of the Ogedai Khanate?!"
The team leader looked at the compass and said, "Vice General Yang, could there be something wrong with the compass? There are few markers on the grassland, and the maps issued by the army are also very simple. Could it be that we have gone astray!? "
Yang Qingyuan shook his head. The straight-line distance between Dongping Gorge and the Wokuotai Khanate is also 800 miles. How can we still have such good luck? !
Yang Guo turned around and continued to ask the leader of the Condor Cavalry in Dagan language, "Is this the Ogedai Khanate?"
The leader of the Condor Cavalry hurriedly replied, "This is not a Khanate, we were dispatched here under orders."
Yang Guo thought for a moment, the Condor Cavalry was organized according to the system of Qie Xue's army, and usually appeared as a guard of the Mongolian king.
"The Fallen Gate is also nearby?!"
When it comes to his own master, the leader of the Condor Cavalry still hesitates!
"Um?!"
Yang Guo snorted coldly, and the leader of the Condor Cavalry shuddered. When he saw the two corpses next to him, he immediately remembered what kind of evil star he was looking at!
"Yes! Our master Shiliemen also led an army to this area!"
"oh?!"
Shiliemen is the king of the Ogedai Khanate, and he has a high status. He personally led his army here, so something big must have happened. Gu Yin
"How many people are there in the Lost Lies Sect?!"
The leader of the Condor Cavalry repeatedly grabbed the ground with his head, "I am just a small captain in the Guards of the Lost Lie Sect. I really don't know the number of the army! Please spare my life, sir!"
Looking at the little leader of the Condor Cavalry who was kowtowing repeatedly, Yang Guo knew that he was not lying.
The number of people in the army has always been a secret of the army.
Depending on the battlefield situation, overreporting or underreporting will be made. If you want to frighten the enemy, weaken their fighting spirit, or even surrender without a fight, you must report more people.
For example, at the end of the Later Han Dynasty, Cao Weiwu led his army south to Chibi, and the 250,000 soldiers were called one million. Liu Zhaolie's western expedition to Yiling only had 700,000 to 80,000 people, but he dared to call it 700,000 people.
If he wanted to attack secretly and take the enemy by surprise, he would deliberately make the enemy feel that his troops were weak. Wu Qingbo's trick of reducing the enemy's strength to show that the enemy was weak is still impressive to this day.
If an ordinary small leader of the Guards knew how many men there were in the army, Yang Guo would really suspect that this was a trap deliberately set by someone.
Yang Guo then asked for some specific details.
Finally, we found out that their camp was only thirty miles away from here, and soldiers and horses from all over the place were still gathering here in a steady stream!
Yang Guo looked at the map in his hand and frowned, wondering what on earth he wanted to do! ? Are we going to attack the Tiance Army from the flank? !
But this suspicion had been dispelled by Yang Guo before!
If the number of troops in this attack is small, it will be a tribute to Qin Yiyan, the deputy commander of the Tiance Army on the flank; if there are more troops, the Tiance Army will immediately shrink its defense. Even with the strength of Daqian, he wants to bite this A piece of bone can only break the front teeth.
"I want to move forward and see what the Yuanmeng people are doing!"
Yang Guo made up his mind!
But the team leader on the side persuaded, "Vice General Yang, we only have 300 men and horses. If we are discovered by the Yuanmeng people, we will suffer! They have good riding skills and are familiar with the terrain. We are likely to be robbed and killed by them on the grassland." Above!"
"Yes! The target of three hundred people is too big! I plan to dress up as a Yuanmeng man and go to the Ganjun camp to inquire!"
Team Zheng was stunned, did I mean this? ! Do you think three hundred people are too many? !
"Zhang Zheng, it's settled! I will take two brothers who are proficient in Yuanmeng language and continue to move forward. You and a large group of people will find a hiding place nearby and wait for my news!"
"Vice General Yang..."
Yang Guo raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Zheng, "You don't have to persuade me any more! The Yuanmeng people will never station troops here for no reason. There must be some conspiracy against the Tiance Army and the northern border. Since we are already here, why? Can you come back empty-handed!?”
"I took two brothers to put on Yuan Meng's leather clothes, mounted their horses and continued forward. If I haven't come back after two days, then you will be the temporary commander of this kind of cavalry, and immediately lead the brothers towards the south. Move away from Yunguan!"
In order to show that he had made up his mind, Yang Guo also added, "This is a military order! It cannot be violated!"
Zhang Zheng knew in his heart that he could not persuade Yang Guo, so he could only give a military salute and then said, "I accept my order in this humble position!"
"Vice General Yang! What should we do with these vulture cavalrymen?!"
"Compassion does not command troops!" Yang Guo muttered to himself, as if to convince himself.
Since ancient times, killing is unlucky!
But it also depends on the situation!
For example, Lord Wu'an killed and surrendered in order to eliminate the enemy's vital forces! Zhao and Qin are mortal enemies. Eliminating Zhao's vitality will make it easier for Qin to fight in the future.
For example, King Xiang surrendered because of food and grass problems. The 200,000 surrendered soldiers were all Lishan prisoners, but the coalition forces could not support so many prisoners. Faced with the chess game, Xiang Bawang used the simplest and most brutal method to break the game, trapping and killing them all. Kill everyone who eats food and grass, and there will be no food and grass problem!
But now Yang Guo's situation is different. He went deep into the enemy's rear with a small team of men, bearing the lives of three hundred brothers. If he was not careful, his entire army would be wiped out.
The remaining four Condor Riders were destined to die from the moment they were captured!
"kill!"
There was a sound of swords piercing flesh, and the remaining four Eagle Riders all fell into a pool of blood.
"Vice General Yang, will the disappearance of these six people in the Daqian Army alert the Daqian Army?!"
Zhang Zheng asked worriedly.
Yang Guo shook his head and said, "Probably not!"
He had already thought about this before killing him! Daqian's military discipline was extremely lax, and its military system was different from that of Dazhou. In addition to professional soldiers, many herdsmen who were in their prime and were proficient in riding and archery were also recruited into the army.
It is for this reason that desertions from Daqian occur from time to time, not just temporarily recruited herdsmen, but even professional soldiers.
Therefore, only six Condor Cavalry were missing, which would not alert the Daqian military camp.
Then Yang Guo selected two brave and careful brothers from the army who could speak Yuan Mongolian. The three of them mounted the Condor Cavalry's horses and marched towards the place where the Lost Liemen was stationed!
In the Daqian camp.
A father and son were talking, just in time for Shi Liemen and his father Kuo to sweat!
Kuo Chu is the younger brother of Yougui Great Khan and Prince Kuo Duan. He is respectfully called Kuo Chu Khan and is the current leader of the Ogedai Khanate.
The Ogedai Khanate was the one with the worst relationship with the Daqian court among the four major khanates.
Wokuotai is the eldest son of Taizu of Daqian. The original throne of Daqian was passed down through the Wokuotai line. King Mengzong of the Yuan Dynasty once swore an oath that anyone who came from the descendants of Wokuotai Hehan would , even if it is a piece of smelly meat, we still have to accept him as sweat.
But later, Tuo Lei, the youngest son of Taizu, seized the throne of Khan, laying the foundation for the division of Daqian!
Until now, the Ogedei family still believes that it is illegal for Tuolei's descendants to occupy the position of Great Khan, so Kuochu and his son had the idea of splitting and becoming independent very early.
"Father Khan! Now the army has been assembled. There are a total of 200,000 people in command! We are just waiting for your order to set off!"
Kuo Chu shook his head, "Shiliemen, you are too impatient! We are not going south this time for plunder, and we cannot move lightly as usual. We must prepare enough food!"
In the past, Yuan and Mongolian cavalry went south to plunder, and they were always lightly armed and simple.
One of the advantages of nomadic cavalry compared to agricultural armies is rations.
When the Yuanmeng cavalry advanced rapidly, they carried almost no baggage. In addition to the necessary equipment, they only used beef jerky as military rations.
Two hundred kilograms of beef is dried into twenty kilograms of jerky, but its nutritional value is preserved.
The Yuanmeng cavalry would use cow bladders to preserve dried meat and carry it with them during rapid advances. Only an appropriate amount of water and half a kilogram of dried meat were needed to solve the extremely troublesome military ration problem of Dazhou and ensure sufficient physical strength for a long time.
The rapidly advancing cavalry will not have to worry about food for a month.
Therefore, by saying this, it means that the strategic purpose of this trip is by no means a quick assault and looting.
This is because I want to play it steady and plan to make waves with Da Zhou!
"Father Khan! Do you think this is Emperor Qian's conspiracy? He wants to use the Cangyun Pass of the Zhou people to consume our vitality!"
The Lost Lie Sect has seen the power of Cangyun Pass.
The terrain is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The urn city is divided into four layers, each layer interlocking. There are hundreds of heavenly machine crossbows on the city wall, and there are countless divine machine crossbows and mysterious crossbows distributed in the army.
It is almost impossible to fill Cangyun Pass with human lives!
