Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 742 Sergeant
The dawn illuminated the earth, the sun penetrated the hazy mist and shone on the roof of the wooden house, the green smoke curled up, and the quiet village gradually became noisy.

Early residents by the meandering river are filling wooden barrels with clear river water and preparing to pick them up for home cooking.

Although the Hanhai Army has occupied the Far East, this village located in the southwest of the Red Iron Fort is too remote to be affected. The residents here still work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a peaceful and peaceful life. Life.

The man carrying clear water was walking briskly towards the dozens of wooden houses standing on the hillside, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, he stopped and looked up at the rolling hills in the distance.

He saw the hilly pass leading from the small village to the outside world, where several cavalrymen wearing black cloaks appeared and were looking towards the village. The men carrying water caught a glimpse of the long knives on their waists.

Bang Dang——The wooden bucket full of clear water slipped from the shoulder of the water bearer, making a dull sound, the wooden bucket fell, and the clear and cold river water spilled all over the ground.

"Soldiers are coming! Run!" The shrill roar broke the tranquility of the morning, and the man who carried the water stumbled towards the village, his face full of panic.

The so-called soldiers are like bandits. In troubled times, all the residents are living in fear, not only to avoid those bandits and bandits, but also to avoid those troops under various banners, because they are equally fierce, ranging from Looting finances, and at worst, slaughtering villages and cities.

Most of the time, these armies make the people even more afraid, because most of them will kill people to destroy evidence after looting.

Although the location of this village is remote, there are many rumors about the massacre of neighboring towns. Whenever soldiers are found, it means disaster. The man who carried the water threw down the bucket without hesitation and rushed back to the memory to report the news.

The quiet and peaceful village became even more noisy. The news of the military overthrow spread like a plague. The residents in the village panicked.

Several Far East scout soldiers standing on the high hills also saw the man running towards the village, heard his shout, and frowned immediately.

The penetrating copper whistle sounded, and hundreds of Far Eastern scout soldiers wearing cavalry cloaks and black armor appeared on the hill, shouted, and swooped down towards the village.

More than 300 panicked residents were surrounded by these cruel cavalrymen. Their faces were full of horror and their hearts were uneasy. The men protected the women, and the children in the women's arms cried loudly.

"Tie them all up—" the scout sergeant who gave the order spoke coldly and without the slightest emotion.

The black-armored scout soldiers got off their horses and walked towards the terrified residents. Facing the cavalrymen with sharp knives on their waists, the residents trembled in fear and wanted to struggle to escape.

"Keep making noise—Kill without pardon!" The scout sergeant who had been sitting upright on his horse spoke again, and the crying and struggling residents fell silent. They were afraid of death, and they were afraid of such a cavalry officer who exuded a cold aura all over his body.

More than 300 residents, old and young, were all gathered together with their hands tied behind their backs. They were not killed, and these black-clothed cavalrymen they had never seen before did not plunder their property, but just pulled out those hiding residents one by one.

The residents were guarded by more than a dozen black cavalrymen. They had regained some composure from the initial panic. They did not encounter the legendary massacre. Some elders stood up tremblingly, wanting to help the residents They seek a way out.

"Master Jun, please let us go, we can give you money, and give you everything we have..."

The black-clothed sergeant remained silent, as cold as ten thousand years of ice, and a guarded black-clothed cavalry pushed the old man into the crowd again.

Faced with such a group of black-clothed cavalry who neither killed nor asked for money, the residents were uneasy, not knowing what their purpose was, and prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that these strange cavalry would be kind and spare them. life.

Amidst the panic of the residents, a large black flag appeared at the end of the path covered with weeds. The flag was getting higher and higher, and densely packed black armored soldiers followed the black flag in an orderly queue. The village advances.

This is a large army with a strong military appearance. They are wearing excellent black armor and equipped with excellent weapons. Every soldier is sturdy and strong, exuding a powerful aura.

Group after group of black armored soldiers crossed the village with the sound of orderly and powerful steps, and then disappeared into the mist in the distance.

Many residents of the small village opened their eyes wide. All of them had never seen so many people in their life, and they were speechless in surprise.

These black armored soldiers moved forward silently. At the end of the line, there were many civilians with messy clothes. They followed behind the army exhaustedly, surrounded by those cold black cavalry guards.

"Stand up and go." The residents of the small village were also driven into the group of people, and followed the team to the unknown distance, leaving the empty village in dead silence.

The soldiers of the Far Eastern Legion led by Yang Jindou followed the order of Mu Xue, the head of the Far Eastern Army, to surprise the Red Iron Fort two hundred miles behind Minks City, but after they drilled out of the forest, there were hilly plains, and it was difficult to hide their tracks to achieve the effect of the surprise attack.

Yang Jindou's original order to the Battalion Commander of the Scout Banner was that no living person should appear within a radius of [-] miles above the advancing path of the army, so as to prevent the news of their surprise attack from leaking out, so that the Han Navy of the Red Iron Fort was prepared.

But there are too many towns in this hilly plain area, even if they take the most remote route, they still can't escape those villages. Although the killing is simple, it violates the purpose of the Far Eastern Army to fight for the people.

The Battalion Commander of the Scout Banner was transferred from the Explosive Bear Corps to the Far East Corps, so he asked Commander Yang Jindou for orders, hoping to reduce the killings, marching with all the living people he met along the way, and releasing them after the Red Iron Fort was conquered. them.

Yang Jindou approved the request of the Battalion Commander of the Scout Banner at that time, so they walked along the way, and all the living people they encountered were arrested by them, and they were going to release them after the raid mission was over.

The Far Eastern soldiers of the five banner regiments led by Yang Jindou hurried all the way in the plain area, heading straight for the Red Iron Fort, a hundred miles away. At nightfall, they were less than twenty miles away from the Red Iron Fort.

The soldiers in the Far East were exhausted from the rush day and night. They stopped by a small river to rest, and the scouts spread far and wide.

Their scouts are the elite among the elite, each with powerful combat power, so there are scout fighters guarding the surrounding areas, and they don't have to worry about being discovered by the enemy, and they can rest assured.

Sergeant Zhou Rui and his ten-man team were sitting on the ground to rest like all his comrades, drinking water and eating dry food, looking at the densely packed soldiers around, Zhou Rui didn't have much worry about this raid mission.

Now their Far East Legion is no longer the same. When they were still an insurgent army, because the soldiers were good and bad, coupled with lax military discipline and various weapons, they were a bunch of mobs at that time.

But at this moment, Zhou Rui felt unprecedentedly proud. After two months of training, all the old, weak, sick and disabled were dismissed, leaving only the bravest and strongest fighters. They have carried out two months of devil training. He still had a fresh memory of that cold one-armed instructor, he was really a devil.

However, the effect is remarkable. The Far Eastern Legion has been reborn. They are now the most powerful fighters equipped with the most sophisticated weapons. Although they have not yet fought, Zhou Rui has no doubt that they will win.

"Your Excellency Sergeant, the commander ordered you to bring two of the strongest fighters to gather under the battle flag on the hillside over there." An orderly rushed to Zhou Rui, saluted him and then spoke.

Zhou Rui hurriedly stuffed the remaining field rations into his mouth, and returned a military salute to the messenger: "Obey!"

The messenger nodded and ran to the next ten-man team. Although Zhou Rui didn't know what to do, after greeting the ten-man leader, he took two stronger fighters and went straight to the battle flag on the hillside in the distance. .

Sergeant Zhou Rui also met friends from the neighboring Centuries on the road. After inquiring, he didn't get any useful information. They were all recruited temporarily.
