Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Xu Yu knew that everyone doubted the combat capabilities of the new army, and he wanted to prove it. However, now that the enemy and we are in a confrontation, and the commanders of both sides are cautious, it is unlikely that a big battle will break out in the short term.

He kept in mind the emperor's repeated instructions. Even if he wanted to prove the new army's combat capabilities, he could only suppress his inner impulse and wait patiently for the opportunity.

However, although the two armies were restrained and in a state of confrontation, the scouts from both sides needed to penetrate into the other side's territory to spy on the military situation. It was inevitable that they would encounter each other and then a small-scale battle would break out.

The scouts on both sides suffered casualties from each other, but the commanders of both sides didn't care much because no one regarded the scouts as an extremely important special unit, but as consumables like ordinary soldiers.

It wasn't until Sun Chuanting read the emperor's handwritten letter to him, repeatedly reminding him of the importance of scouts that they were a valuable special force in the army that special care was needed in terms of military pay and other welfare benefits, that Sun Chuanting began to pay attention.

Scouts are so important, so he naturally wants to find ways to kill the rebel scouts. In addition, there have been hundreds of scout encounters before, and his scouts have suffered a lot, so he also wants to take revenge to vent the bad anger in his heart.

Sun Chuanting assigned the task of attacking the rebel scouts, and Xu Yu also won the task for the snipers.

Of course, even if Sun Chuanting refused because he didn't want anything to happen to the emperor's precious little ones, he had no right to interfere with the sniper's actions.

However, having said that, the reason why Xu Yu asked Sun Chuanting for the mission was to give him face. At the same time, when performing a hunting mission, he also needed to report to Sun Chuanting to avoid being accidentally injured by friendly forces. If an accident occurs and he is surrounded, he can still Send out fireworks and other signals to call for help, waiting for Sun Chuanting to send troops to rescue.

Sun Chuanting was very satisfied with Xu Yu's attitude and did not refuse his request. However, considering that snipers were the emperor's treasure, he only allowed snipers to operate in the area under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Army, and reminded the commander-in-chief Gao Jie to be ready at any time. Preparation for reinforcements.

In Sun Chuanting's mind, General Soldier Zuo Liangyu of Huguang was the least reliable, General Soldier Hu Dawei of Baoding was reasonably responsible, but they were far away, and the most reliable one was General Soldier Gao Jie of Shaanxi.

In addition, the emperor's favor made Gao Jie grateful and loyal to the emperor. The sniper's activity area was restricted to Gao Jie's jurisdiction, which was at least safer.

When Gao Jie received the order, he couldn't help but let out a painful groan. These precious soldiers were just messing around, but under the double pressure of holy orders and military orders, he could only bite the bullet and accept it.

As the snipers performed their first mission, Xu Yu, as the commander, was naturally particularly concerned and personally led the guards to escort seven groups of snipers to Gao Jie's station.

Although he could not interfere with the snipers' actions, he still gave some advice. After all, it was the snipers' first hunting mission, so they were inevitably a little nervous. In order to avoid accidents, it was best for the seven groups to work together and not disperse. Too open, so that they can coordinate with each other and avoid being surrounded by rebels.

Gao Deng was also worried about the sniper's accident, and strongly requested that ten of his personal guards be sent to serve as guides and take on the responsibility of guarding.

The snipers readily agreed, but they also asked the ten master guards who served as guides not to follow too closely, so as not to alert the enemy and scare away the rebel scouts.

After the three parties reached an agreement, seven groups of snipers, led by ten master guards, set out with various equipment and went hunting in the woods more than 20 miles away from the Shaanxi Army camp.

Each of the seven groups of snipers dispersed with a personal guard master, and the remaining three personal guard masters stayed behind to be responsible for communication and cover.

"Uh, where are the people?"

Gao Jin is Gao Jie's cousin. He has strong martial arts skills. He is the deputy captain of Gao Jie's personal guard and the captain of this team. He watched with his own eyes the group of snipers he was responsible for in the woods not far ahead for a long time. It seemed like he was fussing with something, and then suddenly disappeared.

If it weren't for the repeated instructions from the snipers, he would have really wanted to run over and see what happened. In the end, he suppressed his worries and huddled in the grass about half his waist high, chewing on the military compressed biscuits given to him by the snipers.

Well, not to mention, it tastes really good, extremely delicious.
