Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 257 Death Mission
"what?"

"The Xiliang army is attacking?" Mu Zhiqi rolled his eyes.

"Why is the Xiliang army attacking at this time?" Xiao Yi also frowned.

In winter, when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, neither Xiliang nor Daliang will send troops foolishly. Of course, although it is already spring now, the snow has only stopped for a few days, and the snow in the mountains is still very thick.

There are many dwarf trees growing on the side of some cliffs. The dwarf trees are covered with a thick layer of snow, and they are connected with the mountain road on the side.

If someone passes by, it is easy to step on the air and fall off the cliff.

If thousands of troops pass through... It is not impossible to walk down the mountain road and lose half of the people.

"At this time, the attacker must have received news. I know that our Xishan army is short of food and clothing, and the people of Xiliang braved the severe cold to attack. It can be seen that the plan is very big. Your Highness, I will not leave you here." Xiao Yi was still in a daze, Mu Zhiqi opened his mouth and gave the order to evict the guest.

The matter is urgent and related to the military, even if Xiao Yi is the prince, he should avoid suspicion at this time.

However, Xiao Yi took out an imperial decree. The content of the imperial decree was very clear. Xiao Yi was ordered to investigate the affairs of Wuzhou Mansion in Xishan, regardless of the military or government.

Mu Zhiqi had no choice but to take Xiao Yi to the battle hall.

A map was engraved on the huge wooden table in the center of the battle hall. After Mu Zhiqi and Xiao Yi arrived, some important generals also showed up one after another.

Mu Zhiqi introduced Xiao Yi to everyone, and everyone saluted him.

Then, Mu Zhiqi summoned messenger soldiers to explain the battle at Yingzuikou in detail.

Mu Zhiqi pointed at the mouth of Yingzui and gave an order: "Pass down the commander's order to order the soldiers using Yingzuikou to retreat across the board. Remember to retreat while fighting, and lead the enemy into Huangshanpo..."

Xiao Yi watched Mu Zhiqi give orders from the side, and he felt a little admiration in his heart, saying that this Mu Zhiqi is indeed a veteran, his arrangement is to lure the enemy into deep, and then surround and annihilate them.

But, can the Xiliang army fail to see such an obvious intention?
As a prince, he has an imperial decree that allows him to act cheaply, but he also knows that he is not qualified to dictate the formation of Mu Zhiqi's troops.

Xiao Yi went back to rest in the yard that Mu Zhiqi had arranged for him with full of doubts. He wanted to send shadow guards to watch over Mu Zhiqi, but after thinking about it, he still held back his eagerness to move.

No way, be careful, even if you can't win over a border guard like Mu Zhiqi, you can't offend him either.

He always felt that Mu Zhiqi had someone behind him, otherwise, with his rank, wouldn't he really not know that this arrangement is too superficial?

Mu Zhiqi did have a backhand.

After returning to the house, he ordered the ghost camp to come out in full force and wander around the Xiliang army, looking for opportunities to bite.

Naturally, Mu Zhiqi would not hope that the people in the ghost camp would end the battle directly, but just used the ghost camp, a group of dead soldiers, to disturb the morale of the Xiliang army and arouse the enthusiasm of the commander of the Xiliang army. He was eager to win, and he became eager, eager to end this war, and want to win the battle quickly!

In this way, even if the Xiliang army realizes that there may be a trap ahead, they can't help but think of a way to break through the storm.

ghost camp.

After Qianhu Wenlie received the order, he immediately summoned ten hundred households. Now the number of ghost camp personnel has been reduced a bit, and the people who were sent out to carry out the task of finding food at the beginning, Shen Xiao and others, all returned.

Wen Lie pointed to the map and gave orders to ten hundred households.

The task assigned by Shen Xiao was the most dangerous, and the other nine hundred households looked at him gloatingly.

His mission was to assassinate the officers of the Xiliang Army. No matter how many low-level officers he killed, at least five officers above the middle rank had to be killed.

Others mainly focus on guerrilla harassment, fighting like a pack of wolves, going up to take a bite from time to time. As for whether they can bite off a piece of meat, it doesn't really matter.

Moreover, another advantage of guerrilla harassment is that it is easy to retreat when something goes wrong, after all, they don't have to go deep into the enemy's army.

But the task of Shen Xiao's team must go deep into the enemy's army and kill five mid-level officers... Hehe, it is impossible for their team to complete the task if they die.

The other hundred households are not optimistic about Shen Xiao, they themselves are hostile to Shen Xiao, if it weren't for this person, how could they have lost all their underwear.

In addition, before he ran into a dead mouse and got the food back to steal the limelight, hmph, let's just watch how he dies this time.

Shen Xiao returned to the school grounds, walked up to his group and looked at them.

These people didn't accept him at first, but Shen Xiao didn't have the time to argue with them, so he directly defeated them.

If you are not convinced, you will be beaten.

Not much to say.

The ghost camp is a place where the weak eat the strong.

"The Xiliang army is here to invade. We have received the mission to assassinate the officers of the Xiliang army..." Shen Xiao said slowly, staring at the crowd sharply to observe their reactions.

"I, Shen Xiao, have no weak soldiers in my hands. If anyone is afraid, if they don't dare to go up, they can stand up and stay in the ghost camp and don't follow, but those who follow, don't be coaxed by me!
Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, our mission is the most dangerous, but it is also the easiest to make military exploits..."

"My lord, I'm not afraid!" Nie Guang was the first to stand up and show his loyalty.

"This subordinate swears to follow your lord!" Qiu Dashan followed suit.

Next came the bandits that Shen Xiao had inserted in at the beginning. Since they chose to follow Shen Xiao at the beginning, they now had no way out.

Someone took the lead, and soon half of the people expressed their loyalty to Shen Xiao.

But there were still people who showed hesitation and reluctance, and some people complained about Shen Xiao, and they all felt that it was because of him that Master Qianhu didn't want to see him, so he entrusted him with the task of sending him to death.

Shen Xiao dragged them to their deaths!

Shen Xiao could see the reactions of these people one by one, but there was no expression on his face, and he didn't yell at them.

He just said: "Is there no one to stand up? I will count by dozens, and if no one stands up after the count, I will go to the battlefield with me to earn military merits!"

No one dares to stand up. They know that the result after standing up will not be better than going to the battlefield. The ghost camp does not want cowards, and only hell will accept those who are eliminated by the ghost camp!
These people hated Shen Xiao to death in their hearts, so they had no choice but to express their opinion after he finished counting ten.

Shen Xiao gave them time to pack up their marching supplies, and assembled in a quarter of an hour to set off.

"Lord Qianhu, don't you appreciate this Shen Xiao, why did you send him such a dangerous mission." You must know that the marshal meant that the ghost camp harassed the enemy, and did not ask the ghost camp to assassinate the enemy's officers.

No matter how you look at this task, it seems like you are putting on shoes for Shen Xiao.

Wen Lie smiled lightly and said nothing, he actually wanted to see where Shen Xiao's potential lies this time, if Shen Xiao is capable, he has made a lot of contributions, how should he be rewarded at that time?
And he did a lot of credit for making this arrangement, so how should he be rewarded?
To be honest, he is also tired of staying in the ghost camp. If there is hope, it is possible... Who wouldn't want to live in the sun?

If Shen Xiao is incompetent, he will die if he dies, it's not good for him.

Jian Wenlie didn't speak, and his cronies didn't dare to ask.
