golden scales

Zuo Shouyi slowly crawled forward on the ground, not daring to make too much movement, not even to overwhelm a blade of grass.He was covered with a layer of cotton cloth, and on the cloth were stones and clods glued on with fish glue.This camouflage can make him look like a pile of rocks in a barren place, so that he won't be too conspicuous.

Originally, the detectives of the Eastern Palace Guard Battalion used a kind of camouflage clothing covered with branches in the forest, but after leaving the mountainous area, they obviously could no longer use it.If hungry refugees suddenly saw a lump of green, nine out of ten would come up and pull it out to see if they could eat it.

After a long and cautious crawl, Zuo Shouyi took out a binoculars from the belt on his waist, carefully placed it in front of his eyes, and observed the Donglu soldiers on the opposite side.

In the lens of the binoculars, all the Donglu soldiers have shaved bald heads, and there is a small pigtail like a mouse's tail shaking from time to time.

- so ugly.

Zuo Shouyi thought to himself, slowly turned the camera, and quickly counted the number of Donglu.There were six Donglu soldiers sitting and gnawing meat.There are 15 Donglu soldiers who are responsible for barbecue, delivery of food, and rest.It can be seen that they are all wearing iron armor, but obviously there is a big difference in status.

Zuo Shouyi carefully looked at the difference between the two groups of Donglu armored soldiers, and finally he found that the sitting Donglu soldiers had dirty yellow teeth and sharp mouthed monkey cheeks. At first glance, they looked like barbarians.Those armored soldiers who served as servants also shaved their heads, but they were still Han Chinese in appearance, and they were ugly enough to be accepted.

Zuo Shouyi found the flag of Manchuria Zhenyi, with a white border and a red background, which was a flag inlaid with a red flag.This red flag-studded army is Ye Chen's tribe, the largest Manchurian Zhenyi army in Shanxi today.

Those Han troops fought a green flag that had never been seen before.

Zuo Shouyi recited the colors of the eight flags in his mind, and was sure that there had never been a green flag. He was quite surprised, and at the same time, he couldn't help linking it with the green turban worn by the prostitutes, and thought to himself: Maybe Donglu looked down on these surrendered people. Han people.Humiliate them with a green flag over their heads.

After the observation was over, Zuo Shouyi walked back the way he came, but still didn't make a sound.

The setting sun in the sky disappeared into the clouds, burning the clouds as if they were on fire, and it also provided cover for Zuo Shouyi, so that the crawling marks on the ground would not be discovered by the soldiers of the East.

Zuo Shouyi retreated into a ditch behind the village.There were two young and middle-aged men in earth-brown jackets eating cakes.Seeing Zuo Shouyi coming back, the two quickly got up and said, "Brother Zuo!"Can it be found out?

Zuo Shouyi put away the camouflage cloth, splashed the dust on his face, stepped forward to take the water bag, raised his head and took a sip, saying: 21 Tartars.Six of them are Zhenyi with a red flag, and fifteen are Han soldiers, but they are fighting with green flags, probably the new battalion leaders.

The other two are over twenty years old.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, feeling cool and refreshing.He said again: "Look at that posture, they don't plan to leave tonight, we have to go around secretly, if they find out, we will inevitably end up in the same fate as those villagers."

What happened to those villagers?The younger one's eyes widened: were they all killed?

There are also a few women, I am afraid they will stay overnight.Zuo Shouyi said in an irrelevant tone.

The older man couldn't help clenching his fists, and a vein gradually appeared on his forehead.He said in a low voice: We have to save them.

save them?Zuo Shouyi didn't think so: just the three of us, how can we save?

The young man called out: Brother Shi.We are scouts, and we have to go back and report to the chief officer after scouting the military situation, otherwise we will be beheaded!

The Tanma surnamed Shi glared at him, and said: "After dark, I will go in and kill them one by one!"If you are afraid of death, just leave first.Act as if you didn't touch me.

Tanma goes out to inquire, depending on the environment, will be organized into a group of one to three people.Shi Xinsheng was alone inquiring about the enemy's situation. On the way back, he met Zuo Shouyi and recruit Li Ersan.Although the three decided to go together, they were originally two teams.Separate operations also comply with the Code of Practice.

How could it be possible that they didn't meet each other... Li Ersan muttered: After going back, which way did you go, and who did you meet, you have to report it, and a couple will match up.

Zuo Shouyi kicked Li Ersan, stood with his hips on his hips and said: "Tan Ma encounters the enemy Tan Ma outside, and it is also a life-and-death fight."Why were you Donggong Tanma beaten by the intruders in the first place?It is the way of fighting that no one is proficient in.Who do you think those trespassers are?Those are the elites who fought against the Mongols from Nine Sides at Night!Now that I have such an opportunity, let your kid start a mess, and even push back and forth.

Li Ersan was quite dissatisfied, but was speechless by Zuo Shouyi's words, so he could only mutter and criticize: What do you call your East Palace...it's us, our East Palace!

This gang of Tartars stayed here overnight, firstly they didn't send scout horses to spy around, secondly they didn't set up guard posts on the roof, and thirdly they didn't block the breach, obviously they were so lax that they were at grandma's house!I'm really sorry for not killing.Zuo Shouyi spat.

When the saliva fell to the ground, it was instantly covered in dust and turned into a mud ball.

Shi Xinsheng's eyes lit up, and he didn't say anything about going alone in the dark to kill people, but he said firmly: Brother Zuo, what do you think you will do?Brother listen to you!

Zuo Shouyi glanced at him and said, "The two of us are going to kill 21 people. That's a pair of ten."He paused, and then said: We both came out as scouts the day before, and we both know that there is no such kind of god-man in the world as the storyteller said.Brother has to ask: why do you want to kill them so much.Don't be overwhelmed, I've seen a lot of people who are heroic in advance, just want to see if you will get away.

Shi Xinsheng gritted his teeth, a fire of hatred shot out from his eyes, and said slowly: In the 13th year of Chongzhen, the soldiers from the East came to our village.There are more than 300 people in our village. Those who were killed were killed, and those who were taken into captivity. In the end, they even set a fire.When I go back, I won't even find my family's bones!When I joined the army, I made an oath that as long as I became an officer, I would go to Shanhaiguan to kill the Tartars!Now that they have come to your door, how can you let them go!

Zuo Shouyi pursed his lips and smiled, picked up a sharp stone, and drew a sketch on the ground two or three times.He said: "This is the dry ditch where we are hiding now. From here, there is a mountain beam about three feet high."Zuo Shouyi tried his best to trace the crescent-shaped mountain ridge: the village is just below the 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 members in one household, there are five NO.60 people.Li Ersan said: "Can't beat twenty?"

Zuo Shouyi ignored him, thinking to himself: I have no experience.I have also seen a dozen bandit soldiers running away with thousands of people!

Of course, Zuo Shouyi would never tell others. He was also one of the thousands of people at that time.And he was riding a horse and running at the forefront.

The village is backed by beams and faces the road.Zuo Shouyi said: "On the front there is only a half-person-high earthen wall, which can't be touched by anything. There are gaps in the top, and people can enter casually."

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

Zuo Shouyi pushed him away and said, "You idiot, get out of here."

Li Ersan suddenly had a sore nose, and almost burst into tears, protesting: I passed the new barracks, so I am not a softie!

Zuo Shouyi ignored him and continued: "Brother Shi, after dark, let's hang ourselves from the mountain ridge, and kill the night watchmen when they are ordered."Changed their armor, and...

set fire?Shi Xinsheng said excitedly.

——Set your grandma on fire!There is no sulfur and nitrate and no firewood, and there are all mud houses underneath, and there will be ghosts if they are burned!

Zuo Shouyi cursed secretly in his heart, but he was worried that he would go through fire and water with Shi Xinsheng later, so he would not be as rude as he was with Li Ersan.He said kindly: "Brother Shi, it's this, I'm afraid it won't be able to set off a big enough fire."We changed their armor, turned off the fire, and stole the horses.Hey, jerk, you wait outside the village and flee south with your horse!

Li Ersan was quite aggrieved, and hummed unwillingly.

Zuo Shouyi glanced at him, then turned his attention to the sketched diagram again. (to be continued..)
