Shi Kuan solemnly gave a standard military salute, "Yes, Your Highness."

After receiving the order, Shi Kuan immediately left the ship Li Yan was riding on and picked up a bamboo whistle hanging on his chest.

‘Drip~Drip~Drip~Drip~

The sound of the bamboo whistle is an order.

This method of message transmission is unique to Xichuan, or in other words, it is a set of methods that are exclusively delivered by Li Yan and Liu Tianming and others to the internal orders of the various troops in Xichuan.

After Shi Kuan blew the bamboo whistle.

In a moment, three battalion commanders, nine company commanders, and twenty-eight platoon leaders of the Tiger Army's first regiment who were reorganizing the army immediately rushed over after hearing the whistle.

"Shi Guard." As soon as everyone arrived, they saluted Shi Kuan.

Shi Kuan looked at the forty people, replied with a military salute and said, "Your Highness shall order you to bring supplies to the Jiangdi in Nanzhao State for five days in the unit of platoon. Your Highness and we will provide you with supplies. Remember, as long as you find the troops of Nanzhao State, you will only kill them and not stay. Such people will be tied up and thrown into the jungle."

"Yes." When everyone heard that Li Yan finally gave the order, they were immediately excited.

In order to wait for this day, they were already a little impatient.

With the order delivered.

More than two thousand soldiers began to scatter and penetrated within fifty miles of the river.

Fifty miles are not far.

But if it is placed on both sides of the river, it is a bit far away.

What's more, it's in the middle section of Lushui.

This place can be said to be full of mountains and forests, and it is difficult to walk, not to mention that it has to go deeper into the Nanzhao Kingdom within fifty miles. This has to be said to be a very painful thing.

but.

This is what Li Yan's orders are. No matter how the people in the Tiger Army's first regiment are, they have to obey the command.

After the order was issued, Li Yan's ship began to move slowly upstream.

When you go up against the current, the speed can be said to be slower than walking.

The reconnaissance platoon of the Tiger Army's first regiment was lightly installed at this time. After receiving the order, he set out as soon as possible.

The platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon was Wang Er, who had been personally awarded the title by Li Yan, who was the Ermazi who was often spoken by his brothers in the army.

At this moment, Wang Er was holding a long knife in his hand, a crossbow on his back, an arm crossbow on his arm, and ten grenades on his waist. He led all the brothers of the reconnaissance platoon to run towards Nanzhao at a very fast speed.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Wang Er suddenly squatted, clenched his fist with his left hand, and the brothers behind him stopped and immediately squatted down.

Everyone knows what Wang Er’s gesture represents.

There is a situation ahead.

This is what squats when clenching your left hand.

The squad leader looked around nervously, but found nothing. He stepped lightly to Wang Er, "Platform Leader, have you discovered something?"

"Your Highness once gave me a map. There is a fortress a mile away in front. According to investigation, although there are not many people in that fortress, there are more than one hundred people. Later, you will take a squad to touch and pull out the hundred people. Remember, you must not let them make any noise, otherwise, I will ask you." Wang Er pointed to the front and said.

At this time, Wang Er had long lost his previous sloppy appearance. At this moment, he looked more like a very qualified reconnaissance veteran.

During the training period, Wang Er and the others did these things.

Apart from training, it is reconnaissance training.

The number of people in the reconnaissance platoon was higher than that of the other platoons, with a total of 508 people, divided into five squads.

Wang Er was appointed as the reconnaissance platoon leader of the Tiger Army First Regiment, and added two deputy platoon leaders.

The two deputy platoon leaders have different functions. The left deputy platoon leader is responsible for supervision and intelligence transmission, and the right deputy platoon leader is responsible for logistics.

Such a reconnaissance platoon is more than twice the number of people than the platoons in the Tiger Army, and their training is much heavier than the training of brothers in the army.

There is a saying.

War is information warfare.

Taoist Principal Ning Yu and his team are responsible for the general situation, and the two reconnaissance platoons in the Tiger Army are fighting war information.

The reconnaissance platoon led by Wang Er is even stronger than the reconnaissance platoon of the Second Regiment. After all, the training time will take more than a month, so Wang Er is so capable.

The captain of the squad opened his eyes and looked forward, "Planer Commander, don't worry, our squad is not a vegetarian, just wait for my good news."

A squad leader led a squad to his waist and walked forward at the extreme speed.

Less than two quarters of an hour later, a soldier trotted back.

"Report to the platoon leader, the fortress has been removed, but some accidents have occurred. Please come and take a look." The soldier came to Wang Er and said in a low voice.

When Wang Eryi heard that he was surprised, he got up and ran to the fort a mile ahead.

When Wang Eryi arrived, he saw that there were still living people in the fortress and was suddenly angry, "Squad Leader, what are you doing? Your Highness's order is not to leave any living mouths. What's going on with these people?"

"Platform leader, they are border residents and were captured by the soldiers of the Nanzhao Kingdom in this fort." A squad leader pointed to the twenty men squatting by the corner of the wall and replied.

Wang Er glanced at him and recruited several squad leader, "Squad Leader 2, you go deeper forward.Squad Leader 3, you lurk on the bank of the river.Squad Leader 4, you take people deeper to the south.Remember any abnormal movements and retreat immediately.Squad Leader 5, you take people forward on the verge. According to information, there is a camp twenty miles ahead of the left, with a number of about 500 people. Touch and see the situation and remember to keep in touch at any time. If you find an invincible situation, you can flare up the signal flares."

The four squad leaders got the order and took the people away directly.

As for the twenty border residents in this camp, this gave Wang Er a headache.

Killing is definitely absolutely impossible.

The border residents were not from Nanzhao, but from Tang.

The border people are not Han people, but they are from Xichuan. Strictly speaking, they belong to ethnic minorities.

In addition to Han people, Xichuan also has border people.

Although there are not many border residents, they are from Xichuan and even from Tang.

When Nanzhao attacked Tang last year, there were thousands of border residents among the tens of thousands of people captured.

One of the excuses for Li Yan's tacit war against Nanzhao was to make the tens of thousands of people captured by Nanzhao, including these border citizens.

Wang Er squatted down and looked at the twenty men, "We are the Xichuan Tiger Army. This time we entered the Nanzhao Kingdom for the tens of thousands of people who were captured by Nanzhao Kingdom last year. He was ordered by His Highness Ying to take you back to Xichuan. Can you speak Chinese? If you know, you can tell me the situation here."

Wang Er deserves to be the leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the Tiger Army First Regiment. When dealing with matters, he never forgets to inquire about information.

but.

Wang Er's question seemed a little wasteful.

The twenty or so border residents in front of him were already scared by the methods of the squad leader and others just now. You can see how scared they were in this horrifying look.

"Platform leader, I checked it just now, and their tongues were cut off." The squad leader saw Wang Er ask, and quickly interrupted.

Wang Er's eyes raised, and the anger on his face suddenly crawled up, "The right deputy platoon leader, arrange for someone to send them to the riverside and hand them over to Your Highness, and your Highness will deal with it."

Wang Er was furious.

The tongue was cut, which shows that they probably suffered enough.

Not to mention that these twenty people's clothes are not covered, even the food is filled with rotten water.

The unkempt and dirty faces are not sure how long these people have been captured here, whether they have been a year or a few years.

The right deputy platoon leader took the order and sent a few soldiers to take the twenty or so people away.

However, before taking it away, the twenty or so people were frightened and waved their hands repeatedly, as if they were expressing to Wang Er and the others that they would not escape.

After finally, after the right deputy platoon leader and his team arranged for him to leave, Wang Er and his team started again.

When Li Yan saw the twenty border residents, his anger rushed directly into the sky, "Damn it! This Nanzhao Kingdom is really hateful!"

"Your Highness, my subordinates think that the entire Nanzhao country is a soldier. According to your previous strategy, I think it is difficult to achieve good results. Your Highness, you have also seen that after our Xichuan border residents were captured in Nanzhao, they will be remnant even if they are not dead. Your Highness, my subordinates think that even if we have fought undeclaredly, we must beat the Nanzhao country to let them know that not everyone can bully me in Xichuan." Shi Kuan was angry when he saw Li Yan's anger.

Li Yan looked at the twenty border residents in front of him, and felt ruthless. "I ordered that all Nanzhao soldiers be killed without leaving any survivors. If there are any people in Nanzhao who have picked up weapons, they will also kill them. I will use the heads of these people to build Jingguan so that they can see that we are not the people in Xichuan who can bully them at will."

Li Yan's order was quickly passed down.

Following Li Yan's former strategy.

The soldiers and horses of Nanzhao Kingdom destroyed them, but the people tied them up and threw them into the jungle, which was a punishment.

But when Li Yan saw these twenty border residents, he listened to Shi Kuan's advice and immediately changed his original strategy.

Speaking of which.

Li Yan only killed officials and soldiers, but not the people, because he wanted to gather the Nanzhao Kingdom into his own hands.

But unexpectedly, at the beginning, he saw the border resident who was abused to such an extent. How could Li Yan not change his original strategy?

That day.

With the news about the reconnaissance battalion ahead, there was also constant.

After the Tiger Army's first regiment went deep into fifty miles, more and more camps and forts were pulled out.

From the first battalion to the dark, there were already five or six battalions being pulled out.

Although the number of people is not very large, the total number is only one thousand.
