When Li Changqing, the head of the security army, learned that Guo Wei, the deputy head of the army, and the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security still survived, the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
Guo Wei and the others not only failed to annihilate the entire army, but also won a big victory, capturing the barbarian chief, the chief priest and others alive, which is unprecedented in the history of the Far East.
People in the Far East think that barbarians are barbarians, and the living conditions there are also extremely bad, so they have never paid much attention to them.
It is precisely because of not paying attention to the barbarians that no one was sent to investigate the situation in the barbarian areas in depth, and no one went to learn more about them.
During the previous dynasty, the barbarians repeatedly invaded the western border, so the Zhenxi Army was set up to guard the western border, which was only a passive defense.
? The Far Eastern Empire established its country by force, and almost all the armies of the Qinghe Army started their fortunes by fighting.
This time, the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security led by Guo Wei was adapted from Chen Ziang's pro-army and the Fifth Banner Regiment of the Guards.
Compared with the troops of the previous dynasty who only knew passive defense, they have more specific offensive and combat effectiveness.
This time Guo Wei led them to conquer the barbarian area, which can be said to have created a historical precedent and has great strategic significance.
In order to welcome Guo Wei and others to return to the western provinces of the empire in victory, Li Changqing, the head of the legion, ordered the Eighth Banner Regiment of Public Security to go to meet them.
Twenty thousand soldiers of the Public Security Eighth Banner Regiment set out from the western provinces with a large amount of cold-proof materials, medicines, food, etc., to meet Guo Wei's victorious army.
When the Public Security Eighth Banner Regiment set out to respond, Guo Wei led the Public Security Seventh Banner Regiment to detain the barbarian chief, and the high priest and others were also on their way back to the western provinces.
When they chased the barbarian chief, they went over mountains and mountains, and it can be said that they suffered a lot.
When they returned to the Far Eastern Empire this time, they chose a relatively flat valley area.
Compared with the barren areas of high mountains with strong winds and winds, the low-lying valley areas have sufficient water sources and the climate is not so cold.
Although it took some detours, it was much easier to walk. Guo Wei also intentionally sent people to draw a more detailed map along the way, recording all the mountains and rivers along the way.
Because they were detaining the barbarian chieftain and other captives this time, and the Seventh Banner Regiment of Security had many wounded and sick, so their marching speed was very slow.
However, what Guo Wei and the others never imagined was that because of a small mistake, they almost wiped out the entire army that had already won.
The barbarian chief and others showed extra obedience at the beginning, and they expressed their willingness to submit to the Far East Empire.
So along the way, regarding the inquiries of Guo Wei and others, the barbarian chief Tatar also showed that he knew everything, and his posture was particularly low.
Guo Wei felt that the barbarian chief Tatar was sincerely attached, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance.
However, as the king of the barbarians, Great Chief Tatar may seem rough, but in fact he is also a very delicate person.
He put on a low profile at the beginning, because he didn't know the strength of Guo Wei and others, and it was also to save his life.
However, through conversations and observations along the way, he learned that Guo Wei and the others were just a small army with only a thousand troops left, so he also made his own calculations.
As the great chief of the barbarians, he is naturally unwilling to be subordinated to others. Now that Guo Wei and others are not very strong, he decided to call the scattered tribes to rescue himself and others.
On a dark and stormy night, he sent one of his henchmen to escape from the camp, and took his token to gather the barbarian tribe.
Because Guo Wei and the others saw that the barbarian captives were extremely obedient along the way, their vigilance also dropped greatly.
After discovering that one barbarian captive was missing the next day, they also sent people to search the surrounding area.
Later, the barbarian chief said that it was possible that he was accidentally taken away by wild wolves at night. Guo Wei and the others had no choice but to give up after searching for nothing.
However, what Guo Wei and the others didn't know was that the missing barbarian was not taken away by wild wolves, but went to report to the scattered barbarian tribes.
The barbarian chieftain Tatar has a lofty status in the barbarian tribe, and can be said to be a god-like existence.
Some time ago, after learning that the great chief and others had been defeated and disappeared, the tribes of the barbarians also launched a large number of manpower to search for them.
Now it is learned that their respected chief was arrested by the Far Easterners.??, wanting to be detained in the Far East Empire immediately enraged the barbarians.
The barbarian tribes in the nearby area quickly assembled their fighters, and rushed towards Guo Wei and his group.
Barbarian tribes farther away were also gathering fighters to surround Guo Wei and his party from all directions.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, something seems to be wrong."
In the place half a month away from the western province of the Far Eastern Empire, Gu Xingteng, head of the Seventh Banner of Public Security, felt that the surrounding atmosphere was a bit strange.
"What's wrong?"
Guo Wei, the deputy head of the army, has completely relaxed his vigilance at this moment, because they are going home soon.
"The third scout team went out at noon yesterday and hasn't come back yet." Gu Xingteng said.
Guo Wei asked: "Have you sent someone to look for it?"
"I sent a few scout teams out to look for them in the morning, but there were no traces of them around."
"They shouldn't get lost, right?" Guo Wei guessed.
"Impossible. Now their inspection range is within ten miles, and they are all elite scouts. They will leave some marks along the way and will not make mistakes such as getting lost."
"Will you be attacked by a beast?"
"There are more than 20 of them, even if they encounter wolves, it is impossible to leave no traces."
After hearing the words of Gu Xingteng, the head of the Seventh Banner of Security, Guo Wei, the deputy head of the army, also became a little dignified.
"Master Deputy Chief, the brothers from the eighth team of scouts are back, and they have an important report!"
Just at this time, a personal guard strode over and reported to the deputy head of the army, Guo Weilang.
"Let them come over!"
Soon, the brothers of the eighth scout team who were in charge of going out to find the missing scout team came to Guo Wei.
"Have you found the missing third scout team?" Guo Wei asked.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, we did not find any traces of the third scout team, but we found a large number of campfires in a mountain in the northeast."
"There are more than a hundred of these bonfires. According to the traces around them, there are at least a thousand of them."
After hearing the words of the eighth captain of the scout, Guo Wei and Gu Xingteng, the deputy commanders of the army, also looked at each other, and their expressions sank.
Combined with the disappearance of their third team of scouts, they felt that this group of people was not friend or foe, and they probably came for them.
Now they are still half a month away from the western border of the empire. They are still in the barbarian area, and the people who come here are probably barbarians.
"Do you still remember the barbarian who disappeared among the captives a month ago?" Guo Wei asked Gu Xingteng.
"I remember." Gu Xingteng nodded.
Guo Wei judged: "I suspect that he was not taken away by wolves, but went to inform the barbarians. Now these barbarians are probably here to save their chief."
"We were deceived by that great chief!"
Guo Wei also reacted now that the barbarian chief Tatar showed extra obedience along the way, just to paralyze them.
If it weren't for their scout team to discover the surrounding situation, they probably didn't even know how they died in the end. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
