Chapter 1496 Conquering the Empire (42)

Zhou Xiang knocked Gouwa on the head angrily, and shouted in a low voice: "Idiot! They are rout soldiers! The rout soldiers who were frightened by our army and rushed home to hide under the bed! The more cowardly people, The more you choose the safest time to escape, the cold wind blows and you can't see your fingers in the middle of the night, it is the safest! Tell you, I... Shhh!"

Zhou Xiang suddenly pricked up his ears and listened carefully. The others knew something was going on, so they all held their breaths and waited.

In the silent late night, along with the wind, the voice could be heard far away. After everyone quieted down, the voice of talking could be faintly heard in the wind.Although he couldn't hear clearly, the shout of "Damn Zhao Hu!" was very obvious.

Hearing this, everyone like Zhou Xiang was overjoyed.

On the pitch-black mountain, it was impossible to tell which side the people belonged to. If they killed the scouts on their side, they would have to pay for their lives!Now this sentence of scolding shows the identity of the other party, it is really God helping me!
Zhou Xiang pulled a few corporal leaders to whisper, and then whispered a few words to Gou Wa. After waving their hands, dozens of people slowly touched it.

Not far above, there was a relatively large flat land. Zhou Xiang, who was hiding in the forest, saw that the other party was a dozen strong men with complete weapons and weapons through a little moonlight.Most of the strong men were silent, but there was also a couple who were whispering.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are resting, so it shouldn't be a trap...

When Zhou Xiang was about to issue a signal, one of the whispering pair suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the heart of the other, while the silent strong man beside him suddenly half of them rushed towards the other half, Because of being caught off guard, the other half was unprepared and immediately died tragically.

Zhou Xiang didn't understand what was going on, why did these defeated soldiers suddenly fight among themselves?Looking at the appearance just now, it seems that the relationship is very close. Could it be that the murderer is a spy of our army?Or, the one who was killed was our army's spy?

Zhou Xiang was distressed. If he chose the right one, he would be meritorious in killing the enemy, be promoted to a reward, and ascend to heaven;

While Zhou Xiang was thinking hard, the man who was stabbed by the dagger asked with difficulty: "Why..."

Listen to the voice, this is a person above middle age.

The murderer said in a very young voice: "Why did you betray you? Hey, although you have treated me very well, who told you that you have no righteousness? Besides, your generous treatment is not as good as that given to me by the Seventh Prince! "

"You! You actually..."

The middle-aged man with a dagger stuck in his chest was very angry, but judging by the way he was panting heavily, he probably wouldn't live long.

"If it's just for the sake of glory and wealth, I will never kill you with my own hands. After all, you have given me good treatment. At most, I will hand you over to the Seventh Prince. But, who told you to let me know that your existence will give the Seventh Prince a lot of money?" Stain? Since you can leak your mouth, someone will know about it, so it’s best to have no evidence.”

When the young murderer said this, his tone became very cold.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "So it's because of this? Hehe...I didn't expect you to be very loyal to the seventh prince."

The young man shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's no way, if the new master falls, then I'm out of luck."

The middle-aged man ignored the young man's words at all, and said to himself: "Things are not as dirty as you imagine... It's just a middle-aged man who is ashamed of himself, attracted by a kind and beautiful girl... Unexpectedly I actually died because of this... But, it's not bad..."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man finally died of anger.

The young man shrugged, shook his head at the corpse and said to himself: "I really don't understand, why are you so innocent? Just grab it if you like it, I really admire you."

Just when the young man turned around to talk to the murderers, dozens of figures rushed out from the forest.

Just like before, one side had planned it for a long time, but the other side didn't expect it at all, and there was a huge difference in the number of people. In a short time, several murderers were quickly beheaded by Zhou Xiang, a team that was extremely eager for merit.

After killing the enemy, Zhou Xiang and his group lit the torches. Everyone who was a little bit worried about killing the wrong person, looked at the corpse by the light of the fire, and their hearts were immediately relieved.

These dozens of people are all dressed in Kate's soldier costumes, plus their dialogue, it is absolutely true that they are defeated.

It's just that, staring at the middle-aged man's corpse, Zhou Xiang felt very strange.

How could the Kate army have such an old soldier?Thinking of the conscription habit of other warlords who enlisted at the age of 12 and could not return at the age of 80, they were relieved.

At this time, Gouwa ran over, hesitated for a while, and then said embarrassedly: "Sir, well, everyone asked me to ask you, do you want to give the heads of other Kite soldiers..."

Zhou Xiang looked at the six or seven corpses that died due to internal strife, and then looked at the fiery and hesitant eyes of his subordinates. Of course he knew what they were thinking, so he couldn't help but immediately said: "Picking up this cheap is not taking credit... You're welcome, Cut off their heads, that's seven points of merit, add it up, we'll get fourteen points of merit this time alone!"

"The captain is wise!"

The slave soldier immediately cut off the head of the corpse quickly.

In this way, after Zhou Xiang went back, he reported the head he had captured this time, but when it came time to confirm the meritorious service, the meritorious service that was originally only 400 points unexpectedly changed by more than [-] points inexplicably, which was completely higher than what he declared. It has doubled a hundred times!
Zhou Xiang, who had become a strong warrior of the upper rank, didn't dare to accept orders at all, and hurriedly asked the reason. He knew very well that the greater the advantage, the greater the trouble.

After seeing the reply, Zhou Xiang was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to pick up a dead chicken, but actually picked up a king chicken!
After this incident got out, Zhou Xiang has become synonymous with "shit luck"...

Zhao Hu, who received the battle report from the Governor's Mansion, was not surprised by the result.

He has planned Kate for a long time. It can be said that even if Kate does not invade, Zhao Hu is ready to make trouble for him.

This time he ran into it by himself, especially with the cavalry division.After some planning, Zhao Hu and his subordinates decided on the strategy of beating the dogs behind closed doors and stewing the dog meat by the way.

Sending slaves to dig trenches, sending slaves to take the risk of being floated, these are all calculated, and there are secret guards monitoring the whole process, so there will be no major mistakes at all. I know Zhao Hu's attitude towards this battle.

Therefore, when Zhao Hu learned the news of Kate's disappearance, he didn't pay attention to it at all. Anyway, it was useless for him to escape back to Haiquan Province.

"My lord, we have had a great harvest in this battle. Not to mention the weapons, armor and food, just getting nearly [-] war horses and more than [-] pack horses, donkeys, and mules is enough to make us a fortune!

I dare not say it elsewhere, but in these southeastern provinces, the number of troops and horses in our army is definitely the first! "

Peter's face was flushed, he was in a great mood now, and it was exciting that Kate's ungrateful guy was beaten so badly.

The officers who participated in the meeting whispered excitedly below, almost holding a feast to carve up the horses: "Hey, we can form a cavalry team again! Let me tell you first, our brigade must have a cavalry regiment! "

Zhou Wen, who was also in a good mood, turned his brain very quickly, and immediately put forward his own opinion: "Select [-] of the best war horses from these war horses as horse breeds, and we should also have our own military horse ranch."

"We are all mountainous, and there is no suitable pasture at all." A civil official came out and said.

"Not necessarily. Although there are no large pastures, there are still dozens of prairie areas in Haibin and Haiquan provinces with a decent size. It is still possible to raise thousands of war horses in each place." Peter said with a smile, he wanted to say For the understanding of the coastal provinces, no one present could match him.

Zhao Hu casually said, and decided the time for the next battle to break out: "The current task is to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack when the outside world has not yet obtained detailed information, so that the entire First Division can ride on horses and quickly arrive at Haiquan Province to launch an offensive .”

Peter hurriedly suggested: "My lord, when sending the First Division to attack Haiquan Province, we should also use the ships of the Third Fleet to deliver supplies to ensure the attack speed of the First Division. At the same time, we need to drive The captive [-] slaves began to build a straight road connecting the two coastal provinces of Haiquan, which will be of great use to us in controlling Haiquan province."

"Very well, let's execute it like this." Zhao Hu nodded in agreement, and the order was conveyed immediately.

The First Division, which had almost wiped out the rout, began to repair the camp at the mouth of the valley. Before they entered the camp, they brought the mountain spring in the valley to the camp, eliminating the trouble of transporting water every day, and at the same time making the grassland With the foundation of the ranch.

When the Second Division, which was still in training, began to receive garrison tasks, the First Division immediately rushed to Haiquan Province.

With the return of the defeated soldiers who had escaped a catastrophe, everyone in Haiquan Province already knew that Kate's first division was wiped out when they attacked the Zhao Hu warlord, and even Kate, the commander-in-chief, has never been heard from.

The seventh prince immediately expressed his indignation against Zhao Hu's warlord, and then took control of the provincial capital with the support of the army.

At this time, the world was immediately taken aback by the Seventh Prince.

This was originally just a puppet, how did it get the support of the garrison in the provincial capital?
Just when the Seventh Prince, as the master of Haiquan Province, issued an order to summon the garrisons in various places, a thunderbolt from the blue sky stunned the Seventh Prince.
