Under the moonlight, a group of three hundred Yongguo soldiers dressed in black linen used the bamboo and rattan shields in their hands to quietly swim across the Han River.
Soon, they came to a small town.
"Kill" the leader said coldly.
The mediocre soldiers cheered in unison and roared into the city.
The militiamen on the watchtower were already beating their drums, but soon, a dozen mediocre archers approached the watchtower and fired arrows at the watchtower, knocking them to the ground.
The common people and civilians in the city all heard the warning drums and rushed out one after another, picking up bronze swords.
At dawn, this small town is already full of ruins and lingering smoke.
The broken corpses of men and the naked bodies of women could be seen everywhere.
Even the serfs living in the shacks were slaughtered.
"This is already the third small city to be massacred by Yongguo.
Yongguo forced some small countries to move their people into the mountains and submit them to Yongguo, otherwise they would massacre a city every week.
They didn't even want to capture slaves, they just took them all Kill them all."
At the entrance of the village in Xiaoyi, a Xie Guo official said to the frowning Xia Kuan.
A scout hurriedly ran towards him and reported: "Report to the commander, last night, an Elephant Fort post was attacked.
The soldiers resisted desperately and finally repelled the invading enemy.
However, three militiamen were killed.
Four elephants that were roaming outside the fort were also killed."
During this period of time, Yongguo began to harass Nanxiang continuously, which made Xia Kuan extremely annoyed.
Measures such as setting up ambushes, strengthening the security of cities and towns, and increasing sentries along the Han River were all used, but they basically had no effect.
The boundary between the Nanxiang plain and the mountainous area is not just along the Han River.
Yongzhu can even cross the Han River in the mountainous area and then emerge from the northern mountainous area.
The mediocre soldiers also have strong investigative abilities.
Xia Kuan ambushed many soldiers in several small towns and waited for the enemy.
Whether it was due to bad luck or being discovered by them, they never came to take the bait.
As for strengthening the vigilance, it has little effect.
The mediocre soldiers are extremely brave, and with the incentive of burning, killing and looting, the fighting is even more crazy.
The population of these small towns is only two to three hundred, and the population of these small towns is less than one thousand.
There is no way they can fight against a group of hundreds of mediocre soldiers.
The last resort was to build a city, but based on the existing productivity, it was impossible to build an outer city for every small town.
Just as Xia Kuan was considering whether to report the situation and difficulties to Hua, Hua had already come to Xie Yi in person.
The commander of the Southern Division camped in the original palace of Xie Guo.
Looking at Xia Kuan's moving lips, Hua smiled and said, "I already know what happened here.
It was expected, but it happened faster than I expected."
Xia Kuan raised his eyes and looked at Hua and said, "My lord, I already have some good ideas."
"There's no good strategy, just retaliate in kind."
Hua said calmly.
"But the Lord has said that our soldiers are not suitable for fighting in the mountains."
"That's a regular army.
I'll bring you a special army.
Although it can't destroy Yongguo, it can defeat him."
Hua said this confidently.
Hua paused and then said: "We can destroy the country now even if we want to, but in the future we still need it to control the barbarians for us.
In addition, if we really want to destroy this country, it will be the real destruction of the country and the destruction of the nation, not the destruction of the nation."
As we usually do in plain areas, when we occupy cities, we can make the tribes surrender under the influence of troops.
I don't want to use this method."

In the open space outside the palace, Xia Kuan saw the special military force mentioned by his superior.
A group of capable soldiers with black helmets and black armor.
Their armor's shoulder pads were even covered with black metal "scales".
In addition to a three-foot shield, each person also had a large sword made of black and shiny metal.
Xia Kuan had never seen such a material before.
What's even more peculiar is that these "shield guards" also carry a powerful crossbow.
Both shields, swords and crossbows can be carried on the back, and each person is also equipped with a leather backpack for loading dry food, arrows and other supplies.
These were two hundred warriors and warriors, in addition to twenty heroic hunters that Xia Kuan had already seen.
Of course Xia Kuan didn't know the truth.
He had always admired his master's ability to train troops, but he didn't know how his master trained these elite soldiers.
Before coming to Nanxiang, Hua produced 600 warriors, 70 heroic hunters, and 50 compound bow archers.
Among the two hundred warriors, Xia Kuan recognized a few of them, including the first ten bronze shield guards.
One of them is Yue, who now takes Guo as his surname, and Xia Yue is also the centurion of this army.
He was not controlled by Xia Kuan, but directly commanded Hua, but all logistical supplies were received directly from Xie Yi.
Xia Yue was ready to set off, bringing only a hundred soldiers and warriors and ten hero hunters.
The scale cannot be larger, otherwise it will easily expose the target, and it will also cause problems of inconvenient movement and difficulty in commanding.
The rest of the soldiers, warriors and hunters stayed in Xie Yi as a reserve team to supplement battle losses or handle emergency tasks in the future.
One-third of the skin bag is filled with dried beef and fried corn.
Despite its small size, it is enough to supply these warriors with energy for seven days.
Tear off a little bit and put it in the helmet, add water and boil it to make a big bowl of rice.
However, these supplies are only used as reserves and will only be consumed when food cannot be found.
Then there were twenty arrows inserted into the buckle next to the leather bag.
The buckle was loosened and you could pull it out by reaching behind your back.
The arrow clusters of these arrows are specially treated so that they are not easily broken after hitting the target, making them easy to reuse.
In the dark of night, the carriage dispatched by the Southern Division drove the 110 people to the Han River.
Then he took out a dozen objects from another baggage truck, carried them to the Han River and put them into the water.
They turned out to be rafts made of sheepskin.
They used this float to cross the Han River.
After landing, they hid these sheepskin rafts tightly.
At the same time, ten hunters conducted a survey of the surrounding area.
After making sure that there were no Yongfang sentries nearby, the group of people quickly disappeared into the vast mountains.
Fangcheng is a small town in the state of Yong.
Different from the people in the mountains, they call this kind of settlement a city rather than a town because almost every settlement has a wall to guard against wild animals, although most of these walls are just It is a wooden or stone wall two to three meters high.
Orion Rongtu has become prosperous in recent times, probably because his son Youxin was selected by the monarch Yongbo and joined the raiding team.
Every time he went out, he could plunder a lot of wealth in Nanxiang.
Today, his dog barked a few more times, and these few barks aroused Rongtu's alertness.
This is a hunter's unique talent.
Some large beast must have come near the walled city, and it happened to be hungry for meat.
Thinking of this, he called his two sons, two of them holding bows and one holding a spear, and went into the mountains and forests outside Fangcheng.
Soon, Rong Tu found a black shadow on the opposite side.
Just as he was about to bend his bow and set an arrow, an arrow came with a strong wind.
It hit Rong Tu's forehead with a "pop" sound.
The arrow pierced the skull and entered the brain seven points.
He died on the spot.
Rong Tu's eldest son reflexively shot an arrow at the source of the arrow, but there was no reaction.

A black shadow had already arrived in front of him.
Before he could see the other person's face clearly, his stomach felt cold, and a metal object pierced his abdominal cavity.
The youngest son looked at Rong Tu who had fallen down, and while he was frightened, a big sword beside him struck at his neck.
He subconsciously used his short spear to block it.
There was a clang, and the spear blade broke, followed by his neck.
The bodies of the father and son fell to the ground one after another, and a big hand pulled out the arrow from Rong Tu's forehead.
