Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 817
Hutule Banner is located in the north of Haidong City.

Going out from the north gate of Haidong City is a small city called Yeyuan County, and after Yeyuan County is the Bohai River.

On the north side of the Bohai River is the Hutule Banner.

Although in the impression of many people, the total number of Jurchen tribes is only 40 people, and Beihai province alone has a population of more than 80. It is ridiculous that Jurchen tribes dare to call themselves a country.

But in fact, the territory owned by the Jurchen tribe is not much smaller than that of Heilong Province, Beihai Province, and Shandong Province combined.

The only difference from the people in the Central Plains is that grassland people need a lot of land for grazing, and the growth rate of pasture is definitely not as fast as being eaten by livestock. When the pasture in one place is almost eaten, the herdsmen will migrate to other places. place, wait for the pasture in the original place to grow again, and then come back again.

In this way, the number of people who can live in the same area of ​​land in the Central Plains and the grasslands is naturally different.

In addition, there are still large areas of Gobi on this land, and there are even fewer places where people can live.

As a result, the population here is naturally incomparable with that of the Central Plains.

Because there are mostly endless grasslands here, even people who have lived on this land since childhood can easily lose their way.

In order to identify the direction, herdsmen will build some markers on the grassland.

But there are not even a few big trees on the grassland, let alone stones that can be used for building.

So the grassland people thought about it, and finally came up with a way to fix it together with various woods and bones, and then use animal skins to make flags with symbols carved on them to represent different places.

This is called a flag.

Originally, this was just a way to use it as a landmark, but as this habit continued to be passed down, the grassland people simply used the flag as the most basic administrative unit, which is equivalent to a province in the Central Plains.

So in the eyes of the outside world, although this is a wild land, but in the eyes of the Jurchen tribe, this is their Jurchen country.

Hutule Banner, as the southernmost banner of the Jurchen Kingdom, borders the Bohai River, but as long as it passes through the Bohai River, it can enter the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, the army gathered by the Jurchens to attack Zhou State this time was not in the Hutule Banner, but in the adjacent Chaergai Banner.

The reason for this choice is that on the other side of the river in Hutul Banner, there is a hilly area. Even if they cross the river, it is not suitable for cavalry to show their strengths.

On the contrary, the opposite side of Chaergai Banner is a county town with flat terrain. As long as you cross the river and capture the city, you can go all the way unimpeded.

However, although Hutul Banner is not a place where the army is stationed, it does not mean that the defense here is lax.

In order to prevent people from crossing the Bohai River from the North Sea and entering Hutul Banner, many barracks were stationed along the Bohai River in Hutul Banner along the way.

Ke Muda is the commander of an army here. According to the name of the Central Plains, his rank is equivalent to a hundred households.

Although Wan Yanhao was very careful about the situation in Hutul Banner, but this trip to the south was a very important matter for Wan Yanhao.

So Wan Yanhao mobilized almost all the available troops in his hands, and the number of people who stayed in Hutul Banner was only 3000 in total.

However, these 3000 people belonged to the same army, and there were 300 people under Komuda's men.

In the belief of the Jurchen tribe, three is the most perfect number in the world, so the tribe's organizational system is advanced by three, and it will naturally be invincible.

The night was getting darker, but Ke Muda didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

He rode a horse, holding a torch in his hand, and walked all the way along the Bohai River. While walking, he did not forget to tell the soldiers along the way to keep a close watch, and never allow anyone to sneak over from the other side of the river.

Otherwise, once the southern army is allowed to infiltrate and figure out their internal situation, it may destroy their plan to go south.

Snowflakes fell from the sky and sprinkled on the ground, dyeing the ground pure white, with traces of horseshoes dotted here and there.

Several horses were tied to a big tree, snorted, and steam came out.

The horse looked towards the river, looking a little restless.

Those who can live here are all grassland peoples, so for the people here, it is very common for each person to have a horse.

The owners of these horses had already fallen asleep at this time. Although they had to strictly guard the area along the river, they could not stop day and night. In order to ensure the health of the soldiers, they were divided into two groups and took turns on duty day and night.

Now is the time for the owners of these horses to rest.

It seems that a few figures can be seen on the ice, but tonight's moonlight is not too bright, making it hard to see clearly.

One of the horses looked at the ice surface suspiciously, and when it saw a stranger coming, it became a little short of breath.

It's just that in this empty night, it doesn't seem so noticeable.

The figure in the darkness gradually approached.

"It's finally passed."

Qin Feng looked around and heaved a sigh of relief.

He started all the way from Haidong City, and after crossing the Bohai River, he finally came to this Hutul Banner. This journey was safe and sound, and he was not discovered by anyone.

It's not that Ye Xian is afraid of the soldiers of the Jurchen tribe, but if the Jurchen tribe discovers his whereabouts, they will definitely become vigilant.

Qin Feng stood on the shore and looked around. Behind him, there was still a group of people following him.

"Yes, this is our destination, next, get ready to do it."

Qin Feng whispered to the people around him, and as his voice fell, the people behind him also dispersed at this moment.

In fact, Qin Feng already knew that there was an army stationed here before crossing the river, but his goal was to sneak into the place where these troops were stationed.

The killing was going on silently in the darkness.

Many Jurchen soldiers had their necks cut off while they were asleep, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

As time passed, the Heavenly Dragon Armor on Qin Feng's body quietly turned black in order to match the current environment, but in the darkness, there was an indescribably strange dark red, as if blood had dried up and coagulated. after the color.

Look carefully, as if to drag people into the abyss.

After Komuda surveyed the distance, he walked back again.

He has always been in charge of a 300-strong army. Although the soldiers under his command can be divided into two groups and alternate day and night, he is the only commander, so a good night's sleep is often a luxury for him.

He was already extremely sleepy, and after sending his horse into the stable and tying the rope, he felt a little weird, and immediately frowned, looking around.
