Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 37 Harvesting Information, Fortress Beyond the Great Wall

In the first battle of the White Horse Battalion, they won a big victory.

Killed nine giant icefield wolves in total, the leader of which was taken down by the main general Zhao Que alone.

The remaining eight ice giant wolves.

Chun Yuxin led the second guard, beheading four of them.Chunyuxin alone shot and killed three of them on the spot.

On the battlefield, a sharp archer is the most threatening existence, especially in small-scale battles, a sharp archer is enough to win the game.

Yi Shi beheaded two, Si Shi and Shi Shi each captured one.

The remaining six ashes are all zeros.

In this battle, Chun Yuxin led the second army, and achieved the greatest results and exploits.

As a reward, Zhao Que invited Chun Yuxin to eat hot pot.

Zhang Qi used the last small bag of mushrooms and seasonings left to cook a pot of fragrant mushroom soup, and said to Zhao Que and Chun Yuxin who were waiting at the side: "The hot pot is ready, it's ready to boil."

"It's work."

Zhao Que nodded politely, and then said to Chunyu: "This hot pot is a rare delicacy in the world, you are lucky today."

After all, he skillfully picked up a piece of thin wolf meat roll with chopsticks, put it into the boiling soup and scalded it for about ten seconds, then took it out, it melted in the mouth, and the mouth was full of fragrance...

Zhao Que looked satisfied.

Eating hot pot in this world of ice and snow is simply a supreme enjoyment.

Chun Yuxin, who was sitting opposite Zhao Que, was a man in his thirties, with sallow skin, a paralyzed face, and a Qingzhou accent, obviously not a native of Yizhou.

"what……"

Following Zhao Que's example, he picked up a piece of wolf meat roll with his chopsticks and rinsed it. As soon as he took the mouth, a touch of emotion appeared on his paralyzed face.

Zhao Que asked: "How?"

Chunyu Xin couldn't help nodding his head and said, "It's extremely delicious."

After Zhao Que smiled in satisfaction, he turned his head to look at Zhang Qi, and said, "Zhang Sanlang, you invented this hot pot, which is considered a great achievement, and I will invite you to eat hot pot."

Zhang Qi hurriedly took out a pair of chopsticks: "You're welcome with a humble job."

Here.

The three were eating hot pot.

the other side.

The rest of the White Horse Camp surrounded the corpses of eight giant icefield wolves, drank their blood and ate their meat raw on the spot.

For warriors, the flesh and blood of the ice giant wolf is a great tonic.

And I heard that it also has the miraculous effect of strengthening yang...

After dinner.

Zhao Que called everyone together and announced: "In the future, whoever gets the first merit will be invited to eat hot pot."

Since then, the name of hot pot has spread throughout the army.

Treating the general to eat hot pot has become one of the highest honors of the White Horse Camp.

……

Another two days later.

Under Zhao Que's leadership, the White Horse Camp had penetrated more than [-] miles into the grassland, and the distance traveled was more than a thousand miles.

The corpses are exposed in the wild, and there are no people for thousands of miles.

This sentence could not be more appropriate to describe the current situation on the grassland.

The large and small dog-rong tribes living on the grassland seemed to have been wiped out of this land overnight, disappearing without a trace.

Zhao Que looked sad.

So many days have passed, and nothing has been achieved other than beheading some insignificant ice giant wolves.

Are you going to return in vain?

the next day.

Zhao Que led the White Horse Battalion and explored dozens of miles to the east. Finally, in a valley, they found a remnant tribe of Dog Rong people, who were being besieged by a small group of giant wolves of the ice field.

"kill!"

Zhao Que personally led the troops to charge and drove away the giant ice wolf.

Afterwards, he sent people to communicate with the surviving Dog Rong people in the valley. There were two soldiers in the White Horse Camp, but they were not Dog Rong people, but Li Rong people living in the territory of Da Zhou.

Whether it is the Quan Rong people or the Li Rong people, the ancestors are all Rong people, and they all speak the Rong language.

Communication with each other is naturally not a problem.

"Let's go, turn around..."

After some exchanges, Zhao Que finally got some information.

It turned out that this was a small dog-rong tribe named Huiyan. Half a month ago, the current leader, Akanda, led more than [-] members of the tribe to hide in this hidden valley, hoping to escape.

A few days later, he was chased by a group of giant icefield wolves following their scent.

Fortunately, the terrain of this valley is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Huiyan tribe was able to hold on for so long, but it still suffered heavy losses. More than half of the more than 300 tribesmen died, leaving less than 100 people.

Besides.

Zhao Que also obtained a crucial piece of information.

The leader of the Gray Rock Tribe, Akanda, was once recruited by the Black Stone Tribe, one of the three tribes of the Dog Rong, to participate in the Battle of Yanbei Mountain that changed the situation of the entire grassland.

The three divisions of the Dog Rong, the Qingquan Division, the Black Stone Division, and the Moon Worship Division, jointly dispatched troops to meet the enemy at Yanbei Mountain.

As a result, [-] of the most elite dog cavalry were destroyed in World War I.

Few survived in the end, and this Akanda was one of the very few survivors. After he fled all the way back to his tribe, he immediately led his tribe to hide in this valley...

According to Akanda's description.

In that desperate war, apart from the endless giant wolves of the ice field, there were also some Cyclops who were several feet tall.

These Cyclops, roaring like thunder from the sky, can frighten horses to death. Their bodies are invulnerable to swords and guns. ice sculpture...

Facing such a terrifying monster, the [-] dog cavalry could not resist at all, and the entire army was wiped out in less than half a day.

It was pure luck that Akanda escaped from birth.

Zhao Que took out the map and found the location of the valley.

From the valley where I was, I looked in all directions.

Five hundred miles to the north is Yanbei Mountain, where there are endless giant wolves of the ice field, and those mysterious Cyclops may also be hiding there.

Six hundred miles to the south is the Great Wall on the border.

Two hundred miles to the east is Beimang Mountain, which can be used as a retreat.

To the west is the vast grassland, there is no danger to defend.

"This small valley is not only dangerous in terrain, but also located in the north-south hub. If we build a stronghold here, we can not only monitor the movements on the grassland at all times, but also become a surprise army..."

Zhao Que made up his mind immediately.

He found the leader of the Huiyan tribe, Akanda, and said that his troops would stay in this valley for a while, and asked the leader of Akanda if he would mind.

Akanda is a smart dog Rong, and expressed his welcome and cooperation on the spot.

Zhao Que personally led people to survey the terrain.

This valley is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one entrance and exit. One man guards the gate, and no one can open it. It is no wonder that the Huiyan tribe can hold on for so long.

However, this is far from enough.

Following Zhao Que's order, the soldiers of the White Horse Camp began to get busy.

Some people dug stones all over the mountains and fields, and built a thick stone wall in the external passage, some people went out to collect grass and food, and some people set up sentries on the surrounding mountains...

a few days later.

The valley has taken on a new look and has been built into an impregnable fortress beyond the Great Wall.

The White Horse Camp also ushered in the enemy again.

Thousands of giant ice wolves roared from the north, encircling this small valley.

It must be the reinforcements invited by the group of giant ice wolves.

Zhao Que climbed the mountain and looked out.

Although the group of giant ice wolves surrounding the valley were numerous, they were nothing to worry about.

Although the mountains around the valley were not high, they were extremely steep, and these ice giant wolves couldn't climb them at all.

And the only passage that can enter the valley is very narrow, and a wall has been built. If the giant ice wolf dares to rush in, these beasts will never come back...

Zhao Que nodded secretly.

My arrangements these days have not been in vain.

After some inspection.

When he was about to go down the mountain and return to the valley, he seemed to have noticed something, turned around suddenly, and looked towards the north.

"That is……"
