The next day, Han Guan stood on the newly built city wall of Shenglong City and watched Suo Jing lead his people away. This was a group of strange people, full of mystery and unknowns.
During the expedition to Annan, Han Guan once asked Tang Buping how strong the scouts were. Tang Buping only said at that time: "In a head-on fight, I win. Others, I die."
Han Guan is well aware of Tang Buping's abilities. Formidable players like Xue Lu, Ji Gang, and Yuan Yue have only come to compete with Tang Buping once, and no one will compete with him a second time.
But even such a character has a deep fear of scouts. However, there are only three hundred of them. Can they really go deep into the virgin forest and fight against the numerous bandits in Annan?
Han Guan was a little worried.
The scouts such as Suo Jing, Du Jian, and Fang Chong were not worried at all. Their eyes even showed excitement and desire. When they arrived near Jiaonu Pass in the Jiaozhi Mountains, Mengcha commanded the army to open the passage and let Suo Jing and others enter the mountain. .
The Jiaozhi Mountains stretch for more than two thousand miles, but there are not many mountain passes, especially in the north. There is only one mountain pass, Jiaonu Pass.
The rogue bandits initially wanted to control Jiaonu Pass, but Han Guan brought some magical cannons and sent them to the West. Since then, Jiaonu Pass has been firmly in the hands of the Ming army.
Although there are not many mountain passes in the Cochin Mountains, after all, the height of some mountains is not high and the slope is not steep enough. Although it is not possible to move a large army, it is still feasible to move dozens of people through ropes and vines. This also makes the Ming army difficult to defend. It is inevitable to lose sight of this.
Suo Jing stood at Jiaonu Pass, looking at the mountains on both sides, and said to Meng Cha: "Strengthen the defense on the outside and let the sergeants hold on for a while longer. The war will be over soon."
Meng Cha looked at Suo Jing, who was still a little careless, and said anxiously: "Don't underestimate them, there are many traps..."
Suo Jing waved his hand, interrupted Meng Cha, turned to look at the sergeant behind him, and ordered majestically: "Enter the mountain!"
"As you command!"
In unison, everyone took off all the supplies from their horses, carried their luggage, and after being prepared, they entered the Cochin Mountains under the leadership of ten guides.
Meng Cha had no choice but to order the sergeants to be vigilant and guard against death.
Not far into the mountain, Suo Jing made operational arrangements in a safe dense forest: "Three hundred people, divided into thirty groups, approached Lailing in a fan-shaped manner from different directions. According to the information given by the captain and the guide, , it will take at least five days to arrive at Lailing, I will give you fifteen days, you must remember, don’t be careless, don’t be careless, no one will kill you if you make a mistake during training, but here, whoever makes a mistake is us. The disgrace of the scouts is all a disgrace to the emperor!"
"The people in Cochindusi are watching us. The Emperor is waiting for our good news. This time when you enter the mountain, you must use all your skills to deal with the Annan bandits cleanly! Who else has any questions?"
"no problem!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Three hundred people were divided into thirty groups, with only ten people in each group. It seemed extremely thin, but the arrangement was not because of Suo Jingtuo's greatness, but because this was a dense forest and deep mountain, with many people and few people, which had little impact on the scouts. Large, and the distance between each group is not very large, only three to five miles. In case of emergency, you can move closer to both sides.
"Change your clothes!"
Suo Jing ordered.
All the scouts took down their bags and took out green camouflage uniforms. After changing their clothes, they took out some bottles and jars from their bags, poured out green, yellow and other paints, and then smeared them on their faces.
"Check and mount weapons!"
Suo Jing followed the training procedures step by step.
Each sergeant checked it from toe to head, and even took out the crossbow and pulled it. After confirming that there was no problem, everyone took out the last thing from the bag, a long iron lump as big as a fist, and carefully held it The ground is placed at the bottom of the quiver, and then the equipment, daggers, daggers, darts, ropes, hooks, axes, water bladders, crossbow arrows, etc. are hung...
The total weight of the equipment weighed more than 40 kilograms, but no one felt heavy, but felt very relaxed.
After Suo Jing, Du Jian, Fang Chong and others checked and confirmed that everything was correct, Suo Jing asked the guide to change his clothes. He looked embarrassed, then hid his empty luggage, assigned directions, and the three hundred people quietly disappeared. In the forest.
Suo Jing led ten scouts carefully, and under the guidance of the guide and compass (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 757: The Scout’s Blood Trial
, proceeding cautiously. In order to ensure the safety of the guide, Suo Jing placed him at the end of the team and left two people with him for protection.
Each scout holds a crossbow in his hand. The crossbow is drawn and the arrows are hung. Once the target is found, he can kill it instantly.
Zhao Falcon, who was exploring in front, suddenly raised his hand, and Suo Jing and others hid themselves instantly, either in the grass or behind the trees. They could not be found in the green forest without looking carefully.
Zhao Falcon squinted his eyes and carefully observed the movements around him. He looked around with sharp eyes like a vulture. When he saw nothing unusual, he made a safe gesture. Suo Jing led people forward. Zhao Falcon pointed in front and whispered: "There is a trap under the dead leaves in front."
Suo Jing glanced at it and had to say that this trap was not clever. There were so few leaves around it, but this one leaf had many, and they were piled together, as if they were deliberately telling others that there was a trap here.
"Be careful, there is more than one trap here."
Suo Jing patted Zhao Falcon on the shoulder and pointed to a tree not far away. Under the canopy of the tree, there were rows of bamboo rafts hanging. The sharpened bamboo tubes were very scary. Once they fell, they would be enough to knock someone through several times. A hole.
Of course Zhao Falcon also noticed this trap and whispered: "There is no one here."
Suo Jing looked at the forest in the distance and said with a smile: "Traps are for hunting. Hunters cannot be too far away. Be careful not to reveal your whereabouts."
Zhao Falcon understood and walked ahead carefully to clear the way.
Suddenly, Zhao Falcon heard a low coughing sound coming from a distance. The sound was not loud. Suo Jing pointed to the east. Zhao Falcon ran to the side of the tree. Suo Jing stepped forward and hid in a low place. Behind the short shrubs, I glanced around.
"Coo, coo, coo, coo, coo."
The crisp chirping of birds was a signal from Zhao Falcon. Suo Jing knew that it meant that there were many people, so be careful. Suo Jing looked at the scouts following him, pointed in different directions, and the six of them approached cautiously.
Suo Jing took out the telescope from his arms and carefully observed the forest in front of him. It was hard to determine how many people were behind the stone, but there were at least four people in front of the stone, and there were two more people outside. Oh, there was another one standing on the tree.
No wonder it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them. With this group of monkeys around, it would be difficult for the officers and soldiers to get so close and they would find out. If there were more officers and soldiers coming, they would easily escape. If there were fewer officers and soldiers coming, they would turn around and fight their way out.
Scout Wang Bang cautiously approached the rocks. After confirming the number of people, he slowly retreated and found Suo Jing: "Seven people in front of the mountain and twenty-three people behind the mountain."
Suo Jing nodded slightly. There were only thirty people. As long as there were no more than a hundred people, it would be easy to say: "Take two people to reconnoiter the rear. If there are reinforcements, stop them."
Wang Bang took two people with him and left as ordered.
"Gu, Gu Gu."
Suo Jing gave a signal and then approached Shanshi while hiding.
Thirty Chen family bandits were on guard here, and they were not careless. After all, once the officers and soldiers came, everyone would lose their lives. There were people patrolling from time to time.
A bandit walked to the edge of the grass and looked at the forest behind the grass. There was nothing unusual. Just as he was about to leave, the grass swayed and a big hand covered the other person's mouth. His strong arm suddenly exerted force, and the man's His neck was broken and he was dragged into the grass.
Another patrolling bandit seemed to have heard the noise, and turned around to look confused. Just as he was about to speak, an arm appeared from behind him, and before he could make a sound, his mouth and nose were covered.
Zhao Xun saw that the outer sentry had been dealt with. The most difficult thing was the sentry on the tree. Once this guy fell, it would definitely alarm others, but Suo Jing didn't care at all. He gestured to the people in the dark to signal first. Kill the four people in front of the stone.
Qianhu has orders, and Zhao Xuan and others will follow them. The four bandits are chatting, looking towards the forest from time to time to listen to the noise. Two of them stood up, looked into the distance with squinted eyes, and asked something, and the other two also stood up.
At this moment, four arrows were drilled from different directions. The arrows shot through the air and pierced the chests of the four people. The powerful force of the crossbows and the pure steel arrows directly drove the four bandits back and hit the rocks. , making a dull sound.
The sentry on the tree suddenly heard a movement and saw such a scene. Just as he opened his mouth to shout, his pupils suddenly condensed, and a cold light flew over. The crossbow arrow penetrated from the lower jaw, penetrated the back of the skull, and was nailed to the back of the back. On the tree trunk, a dead person stands!
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 757: The Scout’s Blood Trial
Zhao Falcon looked at this scene and admired Suo Jing even more.
Seven people were killed in a row. Although there was no big movement, the people behind the rock still smelled the smell of blood and felt something had happened. Suo Jing drew the crossbow again and stood aside like Zhao Xun and others, looking at the head exposed behind the rock. , pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the powerful arrow shot straight through the opponent's head at such a close distance.
The dead man finally alerted the bandits. Suo Jing and others threw the crossbows to the ground, put their hands on their waists, with two daggers flashing in their hands, and jumped behind the rocks. The four of them completely suppressed more than twenty people.
The moves of Suo Jing, Zhao Xun and others only have one characteristic, that is, they are deadly. The dagger is a close combat weapon, and the sword cannot be used at all! The dancing daggers were accompanied by blood lines, exuding a brutal beauty. Corpses fell to the ground one after another, leaving only the last twitch of life. They didn't know who the enemy was until they died.
The guide followed behind and saw this scene and couldn't help but tremble. Four people easily eliminated thirty people. Are these guys humans or demons? How could the Ming Dynasty have such tyrannical soldiers?
Facing Suo Jing's expressionless face, the guide lowered his head, not daring to look at him. After retrieving the crossbow arrows and taking care of the battlefield, Suo Jing ordered to continue moving forward without stopping.
The scouts stepped onto the stage of war through the test of blood.
