Kan Yan's face was extremely ugly.

As a former bandit leader with extremely rich combat experience, he knew that he had encountered a tough guy this time. A carefully designed raid finally turned into such a bad look.

From the very beginning, he knew that there were some troubles. Even when the scouts were most relaxed, several people remained highly vigilant. There were always three people riding war horses in full armed manner, scattered around the surroundings. If the opponent could not be eliminated at once, it would be very easy for the opponent to run away.

If it weren't for the other party's leader, it was very likely that he had discovered him, and he would not have planned to launch this attack.

It's a pity that everything goes against one's wishes.

After a battle, although ten opponents were completely wiped out, the price he paid was a bit shocking. The hundreds of people who followed him here were the most capable soldiers under his command, but the five-to-one battle rate made him very shocked.

What made him even more annoyed was that the other party still released the signal. Although he couldn't understand what the bright red fireworks rising into the sky meant, it was undoubtedly much harder to walk the road ahead.

Canton is very annoyed.

He was originally very happy and happy in Yingzhou. He was the leader of the largest bandit in Yingzhou, and his men could gather together, as many as tens of thousands.

As a direct subordinate, there were two thousand people following him, and the rest were all the bandits who picked up a hoe and robbed him.

But the good days ended with Zhang Zhongwu's Lu Long's army entering Yingzhou in large numbers.

Zhang Zhongwu is extremely ruthless towards them. Zhang Zhongwu, who is notorious, has made them unable to resist. Zhang Zhongwu is famous for killing them all.

When Zhang Zhongwu gave him two ways to choose, he had to surrender, took his troops to give up the old nest in Yingzhou, and worked hard to reach the junction of Pingzhou and Mozhou to build a fortress and reclaim wasteland. Of course, when he had the chance, he rushed into the opposite Mozhou to grab a hand.

After more than half a year of such a life, he became addicted to robbing. It was because the Mozhou people opposite seemed to be getting better and better, and the benefits of succeeding in each robbery were getting more and more.

Until this time, he received an order from the governor of Pingzhou Deng Jingshan.

Li Rui, the general of the right guard of the Tang army stationed in Mozhou, led a Tang army of 5,000 people, to sweep the forts similar to Kanyan along the border line. Several small forts have been broken by Li Rui.

Now, Kanyan has about 5,000 people who can gather under his command. In order to resist the Tang army to the greatest extent, he called his friends and gathered his fellow players from several other forts on the border and prepared to fight the Tang army.

Deng Jingshan assured him that the Tang army would only have this army of 5,000 people, and that the other Tang army would restrain the other party. As long as this Tang army was eliminated, the right guard general of the Tang army would no longer be able to provoke them. In the future, they could do whatever they wanted on the border.

In order to encourage Kan Yan to have the courage to fight against the other side, Deng Jingshan even sent thousands of swords and guns and more than a thousand loads of food.

You should know that in the past, only Kanyan gave Deng Jingshan a tribute.

Kan Yan also wanted to use this battle to establish his prestige in Pingzhou and become the person who can talk to Deng Jingshan Pingzhong. Just like Liu Siyuan from Pingzhou.

Like Deng Jingshan, Liu Siyuan was originally from Mozhou, but now Liu Siyuan is the largest landlord in Pingzhou. He has tens of thousands of armed people, all of which are directly commanded by the Liu family. Their armed forces are not people like Kantong who cannot afford to be equipped with swords and guns. It is a real army.

Liu's fort is no different from a city. Kanyan, who has been there, drools in envy.

He has a strong foundation and is close friends with Deng Jingshan. He has no comparison now, but it does not mean that he has no comparison in the future.

This time, Kan Yan recruited nearly 20,000 bandits who were in similar situations as him, as well as slave army, savage leader, and the Zahu tribe.

I originally wanted to collect a wave of Tang army scouts and take them back to show off my power and show off my strength to other small leaders in order to consolidate my position in the coalition and also arouse everyone's fighting. However, the first time he fought with his opponent, such a result really made him not happy.

Deng Jingshan has offered a reward quota. The life of a Tang army soldier can be exchanged for a complete set of combat equipment or a load of food. This means that every time he kills a Tang army, he can get two sets of weapons and equipment. Such reward quota is tempting for those who are short of clothing and food.

Now, the bodies of ten Tang soldiers were in front of him. Some of his subordinates were peeling their armor. Although they were torn, they could not be wasted. They could still wear them when they washed the clothes. When they went back and melted, they would have to rebuild knives and make arrows.

All the useful ones were placed in front of him.

Ten crossbows, ten first aid kits, of course, half a bag of strong liquor found from the right time, horizontal swords, short swords, etc.

The equipment of each soldier in the Tang army was exchanged for money, and he could equip dozens of soldiers.

If Lu Long's army was rich and powerful in front of them, then Tang's army would be a rich man in front of them.

"Chief, these people can be exchanged for a lot of rewards when sent to the governor Deng!" said a small leader.

Kan Yan shook his head: "A drop in the bucket, stand these ten corpses with sticks, and the tree is on the snow, giving Tang Jun a warning. Let them know that if they want to mess with us, they have to pay a price."

"Is this necessary?" the little leader whispered. In his opinion, these ten corpses were all weapons and equipment, and all food. Standing on the snow was a waste of time.

Kan Yan glanced at him, the little leader shivered and quickly made a comeback. The person in front of him was the one who would kill someone if he had a disagreement.

Kanyan naturally has its own plan.

After seeing the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, he realized that head-on battles would definitely not be the opponent of the Tang army, even if he now has nearly 20,000 troops. But to put it bluntly, it is almost a mob. Hundreds of people can fight dozens of people, and even if there are hundreds of people, they can still defeat the few, but tens of thousands of people, but they may be able to fight thousands of people. With the equipment of the Tang army and the combat effectiveness shown by these ten guys, I am afraid that if I confront each other head-on, I will be defeated after a few encounters.

Bandits fighting and fighting the army are completely different concepts. He had already experienced this fact when he first confronted Zhang Zhongwu's subordinates.

What's more, the enemy he is facing now is the Tang army who beat Zhang Zhongwu away from Lu Long to a very embarrassing situation.

Only by angering the Tang people, making their opponents lose their scope and structure can they find opportunities to win and win in a chaos.

It is not uncommon to kill the master with random punches.

Ten naked Tang soldiers were tied to wooden stakes and stood in the snow. They were frozen in a moment. The whole body was covered with white ice ridges. Kan Yan took his subordinates and fled far away.

About an hour later, a cavalry team of hundreds of people swept from afar.

About thirty miles away from the place where these Tang soldiers died in battle, a Tang army with thousands of people was advancing forward.

This unit was the Tang army led by Li Rui to sweep these border docks.

The team of five thousand people was divided into three parts, with one thousand people each as two wings, about inside and outside the central army, and three forward teams advanced in unison.

Most of the central army had cavalry, carrying a large amount of food and supplies, while the two wings were all infantrymen.

Unlike ordinary infantrymen, these infantrymen are all on skis and holding snow poles in their hands. Every time they support the ground, they will slide for a long distance on the ground. Judging from their skillful posture, it seems that they have been practicing for a long time.

In the Central Army, it was not a carriage that transported food, grass and ordnance, but a whole group of horse-drawn sleds. Many infantrymen of the Central Army sat on the edges of these sled cars.

This is the first time Gu Han has truly seen the excellent equipment of the Tang army.

He was sent to Liu Chenglin as a judge, and in fact he was preparing for the next negotiation with Zhang Zhongwu. After arriving in Mozhou with Li De, he had not seen Liu Chenglin yet, and was ordered by Liu Chenglin to follow Li De to clear the border before talking about anything else.

Gu Han laughed at this.

He could understand Liu Chenglin's thoughts.

The General of the Right Guard has been preparing for war in the past two years. He has been thinking about how to meet Zhang Zhongwu and then beat the other party to the point of being disguised. Now he has to prepare for a peace talk with the other party, so that his preparations for several years have fallen into the empty space. How can he not annoy him?

He did not like himself as the initiator, and he was sure to do so. He probably wanted to make himself suffer, but such a military action was not a hard time for him. Compared to his travels before, he was really enjoying his life now.

For example, now he sat on a horse-drawn sled with Li Rui, talking leisurely.

In Mozhou, he had met Li Anmin, the governor of Mozhou. The two exchanged views in depth. Li Anmin also supported the current court's Northeast Discussion and Northwest Policy. When he arrived in Mozhou, the deeper he understood the Northeast, the more cautious Li Anmin became.

Gu Han was not worried that Liu Chenglin would become the ultimate obstacle. In fact, Liu Chenglin, as the general of the Right Guard, was Li Ze's brother-in-law. Even if he was unhappy in Li Ze's decision, he would not block Li Ze's decision.
