Whether they can break into Hangzhou City depends on how they get through this minefield. Gong Hao looked at the wilderness ahead with his telescope and saw uneven ground, which was obviously the mark of someone digging up the soil and laying mines.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. When Tang Shengzhi decided to attack Hangzhou, Gong Hao had investigated Yang Wei's deeds and knew that this man was accustomed to not following common sense and was ruthless in doing things, repeatedly putting people to death.

Hugh, such people may not be so kind as to give them hints about minefields.

Gong Hao hesitated for a long time, then waved to Zhao Hongjie and said, "Go and ask someone to prepare a carriage."

Zhao Hongjie looked at Gong Hao in confusion and said: "Chief of Staff, riding a carriage on this road is not as comfortable as riding a horse."

Gong Hao frowned, waved his hands helplessly and said, "Who said I was going to sit down? Just hurry up and get ready." Blood Tempering Mountains and Rivers 134

Zhao Hongjie didn't know what Gong Hao's plan was, but the officer's words were outrageous. Zhao Hongjie quickly sent someone to prepare, and soon a carriage came over.

The horse snorted, not knowing what was going to happen next. Gong Hao sighed, it was better to die for one horse than to die for a group of people. He gritted his teeth, aimed at the horse's butt and whipped it hard.

He immediately rushed forward like crazy. He had just run less than twenty meters when he heard a loud bang and the ground beneath his feet began to tremble.

The raised sand and gravel covered the sky. Several non-commissioned officers in the front row quickly covered their faces, but unfortunately they were still bruised and swollen. Gong Hao patted his chest. This was the first time that he felt the impact of a bomb at such a close distance.

It exploded in front of me, and I was shocked.

It seemed that Yang Wei was serious. Gong Hao gritted his teeth and cursed Tang Shengzhi secretly for his cunning, which almost cost him his life.

Since there was indeed a minefield in front of him, it would take a lot of effort to get past it. Gong Hao sent someone else to investigate the nearby terrain. He gritted his teeth and stared at the minefield in front of him. He didn't know the size of the minefield arranged by Yang Wei.

How big is it? If it's just a strip of defense minefield, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Gong Hao sent someone to bring another horse and let it out. Just like last time, it didn't run very far when it immediately hit the lightning again. Gong Hao frowned and called Zhao Hongjie: "Let out another horse!"

These horses were used by non-commissioned officers. They were used by Gong Hao to detect mines. Zhao Hongjie suddenly felt distressed and cried: "Chief of Staff, these horses cost a lot of money. Can't they be replaced with others?"

Gong Hao glared at Zhao Hongjie. If he could come up with some ideas, why would he use this method that he came up with out of desperation? Gong Hao said angrily to this idiot: "Then let him go and let your subordinates

The soldiers went out to detect mines!"

When Zhao Hongjie heard this, he shook his head and immediately sent someone to fetch the horse. But as soon as he walked out, Zhao Hongjie thought and ran back quickly: "Chief of Staff, do you think we can change the duck? The cost is low.

!”

Duck? Gong Hao followed Zhao Hongjie's gaze and saw several peasant women driving ducks past nearby. Gong Hao secretly cursed Zhao Hongjie for being stingy, waved his hand and said, "Okay."

Zhao Hongjie quickly ran to the peasant women and blocked the road. He pointed at the croaking duck and said, "Sister, sell your duck to me."

The farmer woman shook her head without thinking, "That's not possible. The whole family is pointing at a few ducks to lay eggs."

Zhao Hongjie groped for a long time in his arms, but in the end he only found a big ocean, and said sadly: "We are the Northern Expeditionary Army. We are going to fight in Hangzhou. I need this duck like you to be of urgent use."

What did the peasant women care about the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army? When they saw the pitiful big ocean in Zhao Hongjie's hand, they refused without thinking: "This is not possible. You have to send ducks into battle? We are here.

The duck was sent to Hangzhou Police Commander Yang."

In the city of Hangzhou, whenever Yang Wei's name is mentioned when encountering a bandit, the gangs within a hundred miles of Hangzhou will be frightened. However, what is standing in front of us at this time is not the rebel bandits, but the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The brigade commander, Zhao Hongjie was furious when he heard this.

When I came here, I thought that I was fighting bloody battles here, so many of my soldiers were blown into minced meat, and Yang Wei was still eating ducks in Hangzhou City. Zhao Hongjie, who was furious at the moment, sent someone to kill several peasants without saying a word.

The woman drove him away and snatched the duck over.

Zhao Hongjie was followed by a row of ducks, and he ran to Gong Hao to please him and said: "Chief of Staff, look, this duck is so big, economical and affordable."

Gong Hao snorted in his nostrils, and was about to send someone to let the ducks go, but the scouts arrived at this moment, saluted and reported: "Report to the commander, there is a flat land five miles to the east, and there is no

Mines.”

"Oh?" Gong Hao gave the duck to Zhao Hongjie, and excitedly took people to check. Sure enough, he saw a wilderness with flat ground and lush green grass growing on it. He looked around with a telescope, and sure enough he didn't see anything.

Traces left behind after laying landmines.

But after looking at it for a while, Gong Hao was ecstatic when he discovered that there was a sign in the grassland with the words "No Mine Zone" written in large characters. Blood Tempering Mountains and Rivers 134

Needless to say, this warning sign must have been made by Yang Wei like the other one. But after seeing this sign, Gong Hao was confused. What kind of trick was Yang Wei playing?

It would have been fine if he hadn't seen this sign, but now that he had seen it, Gong Hao couldn't easily believe that Yang Wei would never deliberately leave a mine-free zone for himself and let himself enter Hangzhou City without warning.

There is definitely something fishy.

Zhao Hongjie, who was standing next to Gong Hao, said with a confused face: "Chief of Staff, what do you mean by this bastard Yang Wei? The previous part was not just for fun."

Gong Hao frowned and thought for a long time, then said in a low voice calmly: "Soldiers are not afraid of deceit. Send someone to tie a few rocks to the duck to increase its weight and release it. Then it will be obvious whether this is a minefield or not."

Zhao Hongjie quickly obeyed Gong Hao's instructions and got busy. After all, this time he was herding ducks, not horses. Zhao Hongjie naturally didn't feel so distressed. After urging the soldiers to add weight to the duck, he put the duck into the grass.

The soldiers of a brigade stared at the ducks swaying left and right as they swayed into the lawn little by little. Thousands of eyes stared at a group of ducks until the ducks turned into a group of ducks in their sight.

After making small dots, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the ducks could walk over, there would be no problem for the people. Seeing that the sky had darkened, and the whole army rested on the spot and had dinner, Gong Hao immediately ordered to march overnight and start attacking Hangzhou before dawn.

However, Gong Hao has always had some doubts in his heart. He always felt that things were not that simple. Is Yang Wei really so kind to let them enter Hangzhou? This is simply handing over his life.

But since the ducks can pass, there is no reason why no one can. Thinking of this, Gong Hao felt relieved and waited for the night to deepen before he started to advance.

After completing the mine detection mission, Gong Hao happily chatted with Zhao Hongjie while marching. However, as they walked, everyone suddenly found that their feet felt a little strange, as if they were walking in a cotton field, and then the shouts of soldiers rang out.

, someone shouted "swamp", and the troops were instantly in chaos.

A brigade of soldiers retreated like crazy wild horses. I don't know who pushed Gong Hao. He threw himself unsteadily on Zhao Hongjie. The two fell to the ground together and reached out to touch him.
