On the banks of the Caohe River, amidst the mountains and plains are full of vegetation.
Huo Chang Yi Damao of the detective team squirmed his body, trying to get closer to the figure standing on the guard in the distance; it was like a bunch of grass and trees that had been languishing. He only heard an inaudible sudden sound, and the blow arrow dipped in the sap of arrow poison wood easily nailed it to the back of the other side's neck.
Then, he quickly supported him from behind with his eyesight and hands, and the opponent's body had become stiff; he slowly laid down on one side of the tree trunk, as if leaning against a nap, making people unable to see any clues for a while.
"Old turtle, what are you doing..."
However, as if God was about to confront him, a soft call and inquiry came from within the blind spot on the other side of the tree. Surprisingly, the opponent had arranged a light and dark whistle in this well-sighted and convenient place to hide, just in case.
Suddenly, the heart and eyes of Yi Damao had to mention the throat of Yi Damao, but he pinched his nose and shook the corpse pretending to be grunt twice. Then, behind the tree trunk, a face with a little sleepy eyes, muddy and messy hair appeared.
"You're talking so terribly..."
Then Yi Damao covered his head and pressed his head against the tree trunk, while the other hand copied a short dagger straight into his eye socket; the other party struggling to make a few "uh uh" before falling down. Pull out the arm of the half cross knife.
Yi Damao concocted in this way, and continued to push him back to his original position, wipe off the plasma and dirt on his face, and then spread the messy hair under his head to obliquely cover the hole on his face. At this time, the sound of Xixi Suosuo's walking was heard again not far away.
However, two more figures came in the grass growing wildly under the hillside, leaning on a spear and carrying a bow and arrow. However, this time there is no need for Yi Damao to worry and deal with it extra;
Amidst the screaming partridges, the archer who was one step behind in the conversation was instantly dragged to the ground by a lasso thrown out of the grass. The other with a spear just turned around, but was hit on the side by a stone bullet from the forest, and suddenly the room splattered red and white and fell sideways.
But it was Yi Damao's companions who were lying in ambush nearby, and they also took actions one after another according to local conditions; for example, the lasso-man named "Yi Yi Jin", the former Lingxi Mountain Man Yang Elephant, is good at using soft cords made of animal tendons to beg to kill prey;
The other stone bullet that knocked down the enemy came from Zhang Xuan, a hunter in Annan Fengzhou, who was nicknamed "Banzi Zhang." Slip through the net.
Therefore, after a wave of shaking in the grass, two figures resembling armor stood up again, but they were no longer the same.
Amidst the sound of wind blowing by the rustle from near and far, as well as the muffled grunts one after another, a bald-headed killing under the sun was also in progress. This kind of horrific killing under the calm and calm sea lasted for several moments before being broken by the first scream in front of the temporary cooking stove.
However, an enemy soldier fell into the stove and was screamed. But at this time, this temporary stronghold in the depression of the hill doubles as a police outpost camp. There were two teams of about sixty and seventy, but only scattered in the camp and awakened, and most of the more than a dozen disheveled fish slipped through the net.
Therefore, under a brief moment of strong attack and siege, this sheltered camp filled with blood was once again in peace. Following the follow-up rotation, Yi Damao also walked out of the outer guard position and joined the search of this camp.
When he arrived at the location with the most dead bodies in the camp, he heard that someone was facing the team's lieutenant Dong Zhou.
"It has been counted, everyone is here,"
"Because the brethren couldn't stop at once, so there are only six people who can still breathe..."
"Among them, there are only two who can speak at the moment... Brothers are hurrying to interrogate..."
"Lao Yi hurriedly come here... It just so happens that there are some things for you to distinguish... see if you can find some heels and clues..."
After seeing Yi Damao, Dong Zhou couldn't help but repeat his voice.
Afterwards, Yi Damao waited for a corpse that had been roughly sorted and sorted out, and a small pile of objects placed beside him, carefully inspected and searched through it.
Although flags, drums, horns, and other objects that can prove identity and belonging can be concealed in this camp, there are still faint traces of horses and horses in the things pulled from these corpses.
Soon after, Yi Damao's frowning eyebrows unfolded again, and said to Dong Zhou, who was inquiring about the school lieutenant:
"As I expected, according to the belongings and habits, most of these are people in the Xuanshe area; according to the traces on the hands and feet, I am afraid that many people have served as officers and soldiers..."
Hearing this judgment, Dong Zhou couldn't help but his eyes moved and he had several thoughts in his heart; as an old rebel who came out of Stormrage Camp, he was also responsible for assassinating the enemy and catching alive. He naturally knew more news than others. channel.
For example, in the news of the General's Mansion that is regularly released internally; he also vaguely knows that in Xuanzhou, where the General's Mansion is stationed for a short period of time, those who have the qualifications and opportunities to recruit and accept surrendered officers are the main guards of the General's Mansion. Power, the few men and horses under the command of Fei Chuangu, the army envoy.
However, at that time, Fei Chuangu had actually led a man and horse to fight in Jiangbei, so this range could be further reduced. At this time, someone came to report:
"The two captured have already spoken. They originally belonged to the local surrender group; they have only recently been assigned to a single crew; then they have been assigned to another unidentified rebel as a guide and lead..."
"Just now from the nearby Wenkou Village, I was temporarily dispatched to guard this place; by the way, it was on the same day that the contingent was attacked... As for the other more, I haven't been able to ask them yet... "
"Anyway, I finally have a clue...Send someone quickly to present it to Duwei Zhao...Let's continue to get on the horse and set off, and follow this line to pursue it..."
When Dong Zhou heard this, he made the decision immediately, but at this time there were new reports and discoveries.
"On the main road to the east, a team of people came here... they escorted a lot of things..."
And soon after, they got more discoveries and clues. Because, in this meandering transportation team, there are many seemingly heavy supplies carried and dragged. And some of the objects carried in these carts and horses seem to be quite familiar.
"It seems that it's basically not bad, but this is a clue that I sent to the door..."
Standing on a high place, Dong Zhou put away his clairvoyance and sighed.
"Brothers are all ready and have a good reception..."
After more than half an hour of intense and short evolution, the camp was once again flooded with all kinds of unkempt prisoners and corpses, as well as crooked wagons and horses.
Yi Damao, who had changed his blood-stained attire and re-mounted his horse and drove away, suddenly made a determination on the horse's back with the reins following the order.
You must show your mind when you go back this time, even if the other party is a widow with an oil bottle. Although the Taiping Army generally only has old soldiers to have the conditions and qualifications to marry and start a family; it does not prevent him from persuading the woman named Wang Yilin to live with him first.
In this way, although he spends most of his time in the barracks, as the basic welfare and guarantee under his own name, the house that can be rented at a low price of fifteen dollars a month can be wasted without being vacant.
This is also one of the most common methods and choices for many ordinary soldiers who can't handle the marriage temporarily; through the introduction of harmony, find a helpless woman and live together;
Taking care of the house and household items daily, and by doing some chores arranged in the women’s camp, can ensure a living and allow the soldiers to occasionally enjoy the taste of family life.
He was so imaginative, he heard the whistle slowing down in front of him; then, he heard the faintly visible fireworks and the intermittent fighting sounds in the distance; at that moment, they all felt the neighing sound of the battlefield, but It’s never been so beautiful.
"Immediately send out a ringing arrow and a flame letter... The hope of our trip is right in front of us..."
He couldn't help letting out a deep breath and shouting loudly (end of this chapter)
