Zuo Shouyi slowly crawled forward on the ground, not daring to make too much noise, and even a small grass was unwilling to overwhelm. He was covered with a layer of cotton cloth, with stones and soil sticking with fish glue. This disguise could make him look like a pile of rocks in a place where no grass grew, so that he would not be too conspicuous.

Originally, the horses from the Eastern Palace Guards camp used a disguised costume full of branches in the forest, but after leaving the mountainous area, they obviously could not be used anymore. If the hungry refugees suddenly saw a ball of green, nine out of ten people would come up to pull them up to see if they could chew into their stomachs.

After a long and cautious crawling, Zuo Shouyi took out a thousand-mile mirror from the belt on his waist, placed it carefully in front of him, and observed the Donglu soldiers on the opposite side.

In the Qianlijing lens, all the Donglu soldiers were shaved with bald heads, and there was a small braid on the back of their heads that looked like the tail of a rat, shaking from time to time.

——How ugly.

Zuo Shouyi thought to himself, slowly turning the camera, and soon counted out the number of Donglu soldiers. There were six Donglu soldiers sitting in big mouthfuls of chewing meat. There were fifteen Donglu soldiers responsible for barbecue, delivering vegetables, and resting. It seemed that they were all wearing iron armor, but there were obviously a big difference in status.

Zuo Shouyi looked carefully at the difference between the two groups of Donglu armored soldiers, and finally he found that the sitting Donglu soldiers were dirty and yellow in their teeth, with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, and they were obviously transformed into outfielders. Although the armored soldiers who acted as servants also had their heads shaved, their appearance was still Han people, and they were ugly enough to accept it.

Zuo Shouyi found the flag of the Manchurian Zhenyi, with a white edge and a red bottom, and a flag of the inlaid red flag. This man inlaid red flag was the Ye Chen army, and now the largest Manchurian Zhenyi army in Shanxi.

The Han army fought against an unprecedented green flag.

Zuo Shouyi carved the Eight Banners Flag in his mind, and was sure that there had never been a "green flag". He was quite surprised. At the same time, he could not help but associate it with the "green scarf" worn by a prostitute man, and thought to himself: Perhaps the Donglu looked down on these surrendered Han people and humiliated them with the green flag on his head.

After the observation, Zuo Shouyi retreated again following the way he came, but still did not make any sound.

The setting sun in the sky disappeared into the clouds, burning the clouds like fire, and also providing cover for Zuo Shouyi so that the crawling marks on the ground were not discovered by the Donglu soldiers.

Zuo Shouyi retreated to a ditch behind the village. There were two young and middle-aged men in short brown clothes gnawing cakes. When they saw Zuo Shouyi come back, they quickly stood up to greet him: "Brother Zuo! Has it been discovered?"

Zuo Shouyi put away the disguise cloth, slapped the dust on his face, stepped forward and took the water bag, raised his head and took a sip, and said, "Twenty-one Tartars. Six of them are inlaid red flags, and fifteen are Han soldiers, but they are fighting green flags, which are probably new camps."

The other two were over twenty years old, but the other looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Zuo Shouyi took a breath and waited for the cold water to fall into his stomach, and it was refreshing. He said again: "Looking at that situation, they don't plan to leave tonight. We have to sneak around. If they find out, they will inevitably end up with the villagers."

"What's wrong with those villagers?" The younger one widened his eyes: "All of them were killed?"

"There are still a few women, I'm afraid they'll keep them for overnight use." Zuo Shouyi said in a tone that was unrelated to him.

The old man couldn't help but clenched his fists, and a vein gradually emerged from his forehead. He said in a low voice: "We have to go and save them."

"Save them?" Zuo Shouyi disagreed: "There are only three of us, how can we save?"

The young man shouted: "Brother Shi. We are a horse-studying team. After inquiring about military information, we have to go back to report to the chief officer, otherwise we will be beheaded!"

The slinger, surnamed Shi, glared at him and said, "After it get dark, I will touch them and kill them one by one! If you are afraid of death, just leave first. Just pretend that you didn't meet me."

When they went out to inquire, they would form a group of one to three people according to the environment. Shi Xinsheng was alone inquiring about the enemy situation, and on the way back, he met Zuo Shouyi and the recruit Li Ersan. Although the three decided to go together, they were originally two teams. The separate actions also comply with the regulations of the Cao Dian.

"How could it be that I didn't meet..." Li Ersan muttered: "When did you go back, you would report any way you saw, and you would come out with one pair."

Zuo Shouyi kicked Li Ersan and stood up with his hips and said, "If you encounter an enemy horse outside, you will also have to fight for life and death. Why are your East Palace horses being attacked by the thieves at the beginning? No one is proficient in fighting. Who do you think those thieves are? They are all the elites who fight with the Mongols! Now there is such a chance to make you go to the thieves and push them to the thieves."

Li Ersan was quite dissatisfied, but he spoke to Zuo Shouyi in a speechless manner, so he had to mutter and provoke, "What do you mean by your East Palace... It's us, our East Palace!"

"These Tartars spend the night here, either sending detectives around them, or setting up a sentry on the roof. or three failing to block the break. They obviously relaxed and thought they were at grandma's house! I'm sorry for God if they don't kill them." Zuo Shouyi spat.

The saliva fell to the ground, and was instantly covered by dust, turning into a mud ball.

Shi Xinsheng's eyes lit up, and he didn't say anything about going to the darkness alone, and he turned a decisive line: "Brother Zuo, what did you say? Brother, listen to you!"

Zuo Shouyi glanced at him and said, "We two go to kill twenty-one, this is one-on-ten." He paused and said, "We didn't come out as a horse explorer the day before. We all know that there is no god-like man in the world who strikes more with less. Brothers have to ask: Why do you want to kill them so much? Don't be too worried. I have seen many people with heroes holding swords and diarrhea before, just to see if you will leave."

Shi Xinsheng gritted his teeth, a fire of hatred ejaculated in his eyes, and slowly said, "In the 13th year of Chongzhen, the Donglu soldiers killed our village. There were more than 300 people in our village, and they were killed and captured. In the end, they set a fire. When I returned, I couldn't even find the bones of my family! I sweared that as long as I became an officer, I would go to Shanhaiguan to kill the Tartars! Now they came to their door by themselves, how could they let them go!"

Zuo Shouyi smiled, picked up a sharp stone, and drew a simple picture on the ground in a few seconds. He said, "This is the dry ditch we are hiding now. From here, there is a mountain ridge, about three meters high." Zuo Shouyi vigorously drew the crescent-shaped ridge: "The village is under this steep slope, with three big houses and fourteen small houses. There should be seventeen families in the village."

"Seventeen households...even if there are three households, there are still fifty or sixty people." Li Ersan said: "Can't even beat twenty?"

Zuo Shouyi ignored him and said in his heart: I don’t know. I have seen more than ten bandits driving thousands of people away!

Of course, Zuo Shouyi would never tell anyone that he was one of the thousands at that time. He also rode a horse and ran in the front.

"The village is backed by the beam and facing the road." Zuo Shouyi said: "There is only a half-person-high earth wall on the front, and nothing can be done. There is a break above, so you can enter as you like."

"Let's enter from the entrance of the village?" Li Ersan came over.

Zuo Shouyi pushed him away and said, "Get out of the way."

Li Ersan's nose suddenly felt sore, and almost burst into tears, protesting: "I'm not a soft guy after I've passed the recruits camp!"

Zuo Shouyi ignored him and continued, "Brother Shi, after it gets dark, we will hang ourselves from the mountain bridge, and kill them when the vigil is alone. Change their armor, and then..."

"Set a fire?" Shi Xinsheng said in agitation.

——Let your grandma’s fire! There is no sulfur, no sulphur, no firewood, and there are all earthen houses underneath. If you can burn it, there will be ghosts!

Zuo Shouyi cursed in his heart, but he was worried that he would go through fire and water with Shi Xinsheng and share life and death later, so he would not be as rude as he was to Li Ersan. He said kindly: "Brother Shi, this is it, I'm afraid I can't put up a big enough fire. Let's change their armor, put out the fire, and steal the horse. Hey, soft egg, you are waiting outside the village and take the horse to escape south!"

Li Ersan was quite aggrieved and nodded reluctantly.

Zuo Shouyi glanced at him and turned his eyes to the outlined picture again. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
