readx;? Chapter 341
As a child of the Bai family in the capital, Bai Siling has been smart since she was a child, and she was born as a daughter, so she rarely has anything to worry about. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the westward journey this time, it was actually the contradiction between Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and Wang Chong, but Bai Siling had been able to sit on the wall and stay out of the matter.
But this time, for the first time, Bai Siling felt deep worry.
This trial mission was handed over by the training camp and the imperial court, and even if they knew that there was danger ahead, they would not be able to stop. And the iron-clad thief doesn't look simple, Bai Siling hasn't found any trace of their mission until now, but these have even figured out how many of them there are.
This made Bai Siling very uneasy, and it was also the reason why she called Wang Chong over.
"Siling, it's not a big deal that they know how many of us are. There is a practice of counting the heads of people in the army. Our group of eighty people are all regular Datang veterans, and cooking with stoves is also the one in the army, and the other party only needs to send someone to bypass us and count how many stoves there are, which is not a big deal. ”
Wang Chong said lightly, and soon knew how the other party did it.
"What's your name?"
Wang Chong turned his head and looked at the man on the ground.
"Li Cangqi!"
The man was stunned, but he still stood up and announced his name. Li Cangqi slowly felt it, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes in front of him, his face was like a jade, and it seemed that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy seemed to be the real leader of this trip.
And he had obviously told him how powerful the iron-clad thief was, but this young man was not panicked at all, and even pointed out that the iron-clad thief was using the method of counting people by counting the stove to find out their number, which gave Li Cangqi a very strange feeling.
This teenager doesn't seem to be the same as the average person.
"Li Cangqi!"
Wang Chong nodded and glanced at him:
"It seems that you know a lot about the bandits and horse bandits on the westbound road, let me ask you, if you are the gang of iron-clad thieves, with your understanding, when will they act?"
"Now!"
Li Cangqi is colorful.
Wang Chong and Bai Siling glanced at each other, and their faces changed.
"You are too close to the territory of the iron-clad horse thief, only a little more than a hundred miles. In the style of iron-clad horse thieves in the past, they will never wait for you to run to their land, but are more accustomed to running long distances and taking the initiative to attack, so that they can catch the officers and soldiers off guard. As far as I know, I advise you to retreat while your men are still here, and have not yet come into contact with the iron-clad thieves, and everything is still in time. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for you eighty people to be the opponent of the ironclad thief!"
Li Cangqi said solemnly. His original intention was to remind Wang Chong and the others to hurry up, but when he heard his words, Wang Chong's face changed sharply.
"It's not good, you have to inform Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu quickly!"
Wang Chong turned around abruptly, didn't say a word, and rushed out like lightning.
Li Cangqi thought that all of them were here, but Wang Chong knew that this was not the case at all. The other officers and soldiers may be one group of people who go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, and another group of people who wait at the foot of the mountain, but their group of officers and soldiers is not the same at all.
With his understanding of Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu, they were not at the foot of the mountain at this moment. I was afraid that as soon as the two of them set off, these two people rushed out with the army and rushed to another cottage thirty miles away.
- It's only seventy miles from the territory of the Iron Thief!
If the iron-clad horse thief likes to take the initiative, it means that Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu are in great danger of encountering them.
"All retreat, hurry up, hurry!"
Bai Siling also thought of something, his expression was shocked, and the whole person bounced up from the tiger skin chair like an electric shock, and without saying a word, he rushed out after Wang Chong.
"Xi Yuyu!-"
The war horses neighed, and the whole cottage was in chaos, and understanding the danger they were facing, the forty Datang iron horsemen almost rushed out from the top of the mountain, and they didn't even have time to clean up the loot.
Smoke and dust billowed on the official road, and a team of more than 40 people rushed towards a place thirty miles away like a big dragon.
Although there have been many conflicts with Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu, Wang Chong does not want them to be killed by bandits and horse bandits.
What's more, in addition to Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu, there were also forty loyal Tang Iron Horsemen.
The cavalry who dedicated themselves to the Tang Dynasty was killed by bandits and horse bandits, which is a shame and a dishonorable ending.
Wang Chong has been fighting horses all his life in his life, and he can best understand this kind of feeling, so he can't let this kind of thing happen more and more.
"Drive!"
The legs clamped the horse's belly, and the white hoof under the crotch also felt the master's intentions, and galloped forward with all his strength.
Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu set off very early, and with the time that everyone was delayed on the mountain, it would be at least a few hours before they arrived at the cottage thirty miles away.
For the first time, Wang Chong felt that the journey of thirty miles was so long.
"Hopefully it's still too late!"
Wang Chong secretly clenched his fists, now he can only hope that the iron-clad horse thief will not act so quickly, everything is just his own side thinking too much. Or Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and they haven't met yet.
"Boom!"
A few hours later, there are still more than ten miles away from the destination, far away, I saw a burst of rolling yellow sand rising into the sky, people in the yellow sand neighed on their horses, shouting bursts of bursts, for a time I don't know how many people gathered, the breath is extremely slaughtering.
"Not good!"
Seeing this rushing yellow sand, Wang Chong and Bai Siling's hearts were cold, and the blood on their faces suddenly faded clean.
"We're late!"
Bai Siling's lips trembled, and her face was extremely pale. No matter how slow she reacted, she knew that the two of them were still late. Looking at the rolling yellow sand and the momentum of the sky, there are more than hundreds of horse thieves gathered there, and so many bandits can be gathered, nine times out of ten it is the group of iron-clad horse thieves that Li Cangqi said.
Wang Chong's face at this time was not much better than her, shouting and killing in the distance, with that sky-high momentum, Li Cangqi's evaluation of the iron-clad horse thief was not wrong at all.
In the path of Longxi and Jingshi, the iron-clad horse thief is definitely the first.
"What do we do now?"
Bai Siling grabbed the rope, turned his head, and subconsciously looked at Wang Chong on the side, and the whole person looked like he had no master.
Although she has superb martial arts skills, she is a daughter of a family and has a lot of knowledge, and she is rare among women who are rich and assertive.
But in the final analysis, it is also a daughter's family after all, and she has never experienced this kind of confrontation between the two armies, a military-like battle.
And there are a large number of people on the other side, far away, noisy, separated by a distance of more than ten miles, not loud and close at hand, and even can't hear clearly.
With only more than 40 Datang iron horsemen around the two of them, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with these hundreds of bandits and horse bandits.
Enter, the two are definitely not opponents!
Retreat, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, they are definitely a dead end!
Faced with this difficult choice, Bai Siling fell into a dilemma for a while, and almost subconsciously looked at Wang Chong, hoping to rely on him.
Along the way, Wang Chong's decisiveness, courage and determination left a deep impression on her. At this time, Bai Siling almost instinctively chose to believe Wang Chong's judgment.
There were shouts of killing in the distance, Bai Siling, and more than forty Datang iron horsemen, everyone's eyes fell on him.
Everyone is waiting for their decision.
At this moment, Wang Chong's shoulders were heavy. A familiar feeling came to his heart, and in an instant, Wang Chong seemed to return to the time when he had shouldered countless expectations in his previous life.
At that time, the people looked at themselves in the same way.
Time seemed to stand still, and only the sound of a beating heart like a drum remained. It seemed that countless long centuries had passed, and it seemed that there was only a flick of his fingers, and Wang Chong quickly calmed down.
"Don't worry!"
Wang Zheng suddenly spoke, and his voice gave people a soothing power, which made people invisibly calm and calm:
"There were shouts of killing in the distance, which showed that the battle was not over. In other words, Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu still have hope, and there is still something to be done. Otherwise, we won't hear any shouting when we get here!"
The words made the people who were originally hesitant and restless in high spirits.
That's right! If the battle is over, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and they are dead, and everyone will not hear any shouts of killing. There is a shout of killing, which means that Xu Qian and they are not dead.
It's very simple.
But if it weren't for Wang Chong mentioning it, no one would have thought of this. At this moment, everyone looked at Wang Chong in front of them, and they were all in awe.
"This kid is really a natural leader!"
Bai Siling looked at Wang Chong in front of him, and his beautiful eyes were full of different colors. Wang Chong stabilized the morale of the army with a single sentence, and he was simply a natural leader.
This made Bai Siling secretly glad that his decision along the way was completely correct.
“...... The way of the art of war is to know oneself and one's opponent. Whether we fight or withdraw, we need to know what the strength of the other side is, what the combat effectiveness is, and then we can decide what to do. If we can, we will rescue Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu, and if not, we must evacuate in time to avoid further losses. In order to do this, you need to avoid being emotional. I want you to understand that. ”
"Also, no matter what you do for a while. I want everyone to do what I want, to obey my orders, and not to go against military orders, understand?"
In the last sentence, Wang Chong said very solemnly. There were only forty of them, and they were far more numerous than each other. If you can't order and prohibit it, unify the pace, and rush over it when the time comes, it's just killing yourself.
"Yes, sir!"
This time, without Bai Siling's order, all the Tang cavalry, whether under Wang Chong or Bai Siling, all responded to the order.
During this period of getting along, Wang Chong has used his actions to gain their respect and absolute trust.
As for the generals, although there are a lot of Tang cavalry here, only Wang Chong is the only one who really has command talent.
