Chapter 190 Recruits (addition for the lord "niema")
Panting heavily, Xu Kui climbed up another big rock.

He found that as he went to the top of the mountain, the road became easier to walk, and there were more and more traces of people's activities by the side of the mountain stream.

Looking back, he saw that Li Xia was still behind him, but his clothes had been torn several times.

Farther away, some river patrolmen have been distanced.

"Xu Kui, send a message to the front. We are almost at the top of the mountain. Find an open place to stop and wait for the people behind."

"Yes." Xu Kui agreed and passed on the words.

Everyone climbed up for a while, and when they were about to reach the top of the mountain, the place suddenly opened up.

A small stockade can be seen in front of it, and there are many people in it.

The thieves seemed unprepared to face the officers and soldiers climbing up, they seemed a little flustered, and there were howls from time to time.

The two sides prepared for battle separately, and after a while, all the river patrolmen had climbed to the top of the mountain.

Holding the knife, Xu Kui felt a little nervous, and his throat was so dry.

He suddenly remembered the sentence Li Xia asked last time.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

~~
Li Xia looked at the top of the mountain, thinking about how to break through the small cottage.

He was thinking about the way of business that Wu Tong said.

He felt that it was necessary to show Wu Tong his strength, or to show the merchants behind Wu Tong that he, Li Xia, could also guarantee the safety of this business road...

Of course, today is just a small test, and the more purpose is to let the soldiers under him see blood.

"Bao San, you are in command."

"Yes!" Bao San shouted: "Everyone listen, the county captain ordered me to command. Huhu, take 50 people around and be careful not to get too close..."

In fact, there is nothing to command when attacking a small village with only more than 20 people.

After the arrangements were made, the river patrolmen suppressed the bandits in the village with bows and arrows. Bao San gave an order, took the lead, and rushed forward with his sword raised.

~~
Xu Kui followed behind Jiang Fan, staring closely at Jiang Fan.

At this time, he forgot many things during the usual training, and all he felt was ferocity.

Both sides are vicious.

The thieves in the stockade yelled loudly, and the river patrolmen also drank a lot, especially the veterans and wounded soldiers like Bao San and Jiang Fan.

At the sight of blood, everyone became excited.

Xu Kui had never been in such a situation, and he was very flustered.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the gate of the village was finally knocked open.

Xu Kui rushed in following Jiang Fan, and a barbarian slashed down with his knife.

River patrolmen on both sides rushed forward.

Xu Kui was dazed, and then looked intently, and saw Jiang Fan holding a knife in his left hand to block, and the hook on the prosthetic arm in his right hand had been inserted into the barbarian's neck.

The blood splashed all over Jiang Fan and Xu Kui's face, it was fishy and hot.

"Ah! Ah!"

The screams were terrible.

At the same time, there were more screams from around, and the mixture seemed terrifying.

Jiang Fan stepped heavily on the fallen barbarian's hand, and was about to swing the knife with his left hand when he stopped suddenly.

He pulled Xu Kui behind him and shouted, "Come on, kill him!"

Xu Kui was still in a daze, but he was shocked again when he heard the words.

He looked down and saw the wounded on the ground writhing and screaming, their eyes full of pain and despair, and the blood spurting from their necks, the scene was horrifying.

"kill him!"

Xu Kui didn't move, he was completely stunned.

He couldn't understand what the other party was yelling, but he could feel the desire to survive.

He felt that everything around him was still cruel, as if he had returned to the time when Lizhou was captured by the Mongolian army...

"Don't look into his eyes! Kill him!" Jiang Fan yelled, "Didn't you want to avenge the dead brother?! Wasn't it you who shouted first?!"

Xu Kui's hands were shaking violently.

Suddenly, a recruit rushed up from behind and stabbed the injured man on the ground in the heart.

"it is good!"

Jiang Fan called out to the recruit, ignored Xu Kui, and led them forward.

Xu Kui felt that the blood on his face was sticky, and when he looked down, the man on the ground had already stopped moving.

He turned his head, and the fights around him passed by in his eyes. From a distance, he saw Li Xia standing there with his sword in his hands, calm and resolute.

Xu Kui felt a little guilty, but in the bottom of his heart, he realized that he was still unwilling to kill for this guilt.

He wiped the blood from his face, rushed up, and continued to protect Jiang Fan, not as flustered as before...

~~
Xiong Shan was standing beside Li Xia.

He was a guide and did not participate in the fight.

Such a mountain road is not difficult to climb for Xiongshan, and it is not uncommon in his eyes for officers and soldiers to destroy a small village of 30 people.

What Xiong Shan cared about was Li Xia.

He remembered that he saw Li Xia for the first time in Xuzhou on the day of the Double Ninth Festival on September [-]th. At that time, he thought he was a handsome yamen.

But now it's only the sixteenth day of October, and Li Xia has brought people to the stockade beside Wuchi Road.

In just over a month, this young man is completely different.

Xiong Shan thought about Li Xia's remarks yesterday that he did not regard himself as a county captain but as Shu Shuai, and he suddenly felt that after returning home, he should let his father meet the new county captain of Qingfu County...

~~
On October [-]th, Ashu had marched to Lishangou.

Ashu was only 22 years old at the time, but he had already made a lot of military exploits.

He is the grandson of the famous Mongolian general Subutai and the son of Wuliang Hetai, and he joined the army with his father since he was a child.

In the battle of the Mongolian army destroying Dali, he led elite soldiers as waiting cavalry, served as a pioneer, and made outstanding achievements repeatedly.

This time when he attacked Shu, Ashu still used his best tactics to fight, "sneaking in the middle way and going around behind", intending to go out of the Shimen way, go straight to Syria, kill the Song army by surprise, and then join forces with Wuliang Join forces in Xuzhou.

After passing Shimen Pass, the mountain path is only five feet wide.

The mountain road is rugged and steep. Most people walking this kind of mountain road can only lead the horse and walk slowly, fearing that they will fall off the cliff, but Ashu still rode the horse.

Not only did he ride the horse, but he didn't need anyone to lead him.

I also don't see how he controls the horse, he steps down from the steed and walks obediently along the mountain path.

Not only him, most people in the Mongolian army can do it.

Ashu only said one thing about this.

"The road in Shu is difficult to walk? The road in Tubo has been traveled, this is a fart!"

……

After bypassing the Lishan Valley, there is a lot of openness ahead, and finally it is another road that can be rested.

Ashu frowned and recruited a centurion.

"I've already walked halfway, and I might meet the Song Army ahead. Duke, lead someone to explore the way first, and if you meet the Song Army, you can pull it out. If you encounter an ambush, come back and report at any time."

Although Ashu has a fiery temper, he is good at marching and fighting. Speaking of this, he also ordered: "On the way, if you encounter a high mountain where you can see the terrain, send someone to look up it. When I arrive, come and report me whether there is an ambush."

Du Ke agreed, led more than [-] people under his command, and brought more than [-] Dali soldiers, and rushed forward first.

They only carried food and grass for five days, which was much lighter and faster.

The five-foot road winds to the north, and occasionally encounters a small group of natives in the mountains and forests. The Mongolian army shoots arrows at them, scaring them away in panic.

Two days later, Du Ke went to Guanhe Canyon...

~~
Li Xia rested in the Yanfanggou stockade for two days to ensure that the wounded could go on their way, and was ready to return early this morning.

He is satisfied with the harvest of this trip, and thinks that the purpose of military training has been barely achieved.

I didn't find too many things in the stockade, but some thieves snatched objects like Buddha statues, I don't know if they are worth much.

"County Lieutenant, I saw clearly yesterday, go down the mountain from there, look..."

Luhu raised his hand and pointed, then suddenly stopped when he turned his head.

He turned around and squinted to look south.

"County lieutenant..."

Following his gaze, Li Xia saw a few black dots coming out from behind the distant mountain peaks, followed by one after another, there seemed to be more than a hundred people.

"That's... the Mongolian Army?"

"It's really a Mongolian army!"

"Mongol army? They came so fast." Bao San strode over.

"Can a beacon fire be lit in the village?"

"Here we go to pile up firewood."

Li Xia nodded, still looking at the black spot in the distance, his eyes pensive.

After a while, the firewood had been piled up.

Bao San took out the fire folder and moved neatly.

Li Xia suddenly turned her head and said, "Don't order first."

"County Lieutenant, what's wrong?"

Li Xia pondered: "There are only a hundred of them, and there is no wolf smoke nearby..."

"The county lieutenant said...they haven't found us yet?"

"More than a hundred people, with this terrain, can they eat them?"

Bao San looked into the distance again, and then turned back to glance at the river patrolmen, his one-eyed eyes flickered.

"If you are a veteran, you may be sure, but we are all new recruits."

Bao San said, and said: "The villain has fought against the Mongolian army before. They have rich experience in battle and are very sharp. I'm afraid they won't be able to ambush them."

~~
Duke suddenly reined in.

He looked around and could see many high mountains in front of him.

He recalled A Shu's order, recruited several soldiers, and ordered: "Climb up the mountain and watch, if you find someone lying in ambush, call the police at any time..."

~~
Li Xia narrowed his eyes and saw those black spots stop from a distance, but he couldn't see how they were being mobilized.

Bao San said again: "County lieutenant, the recruits are really not sure."

Li Xia thought about it for a long time.

After countless thoughts in his mind, in the end, he seemed to see the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"After fighting this first battle, you are not a recruit..."
