All the way was a rapid march.
Wednesday was so tired that he was out of breath, and looked back at Hei Xiaobai, who had been silent behind him, and saw that he was thinner than himself, but he was carrying a medicine box and was hurrying away, no matter how hard and tired he was, he didn't complain.
He stretched out his hand to push a wooden box behind the black and white, "You, others are rushing to pick up the knives, swords, and guns in their hands, one is light, and the other is good to kill the enemy and protect oneself, you are good, just choose a broken wooden box to carry, this guy is not only heavy but dead, I really can't think of any other benefits!"
Hei Xiaobai turned around and smiled at Wednesday, but did not explain.
He was in a hurry, as long as he was resting on the way to pick herbs on the roadside, as long as it was the herbs he met on the road, he picked them down and carried them in his bag, since they followed Bai Feng and the old general Bai from the southwest camp of Dongliang Country overnight to leave, most of the time on the way was walking in the mountains of Dajie Mountain, so Hei Xiaobai was hanging on his back, in addition to the wooden box, there were many large and small bags containing herbs, making a smell of herbs.
On this day, he entered the Jieshan River Valley, temporarily stationed at the mouth of the river, and at night, a group of people surrounded Bai Feng to check the camp in turn, and every time he went to a place, Bai Feng had to stop and say something for a while.
Soon it will be Wednesday to their barracks.
Wednesday was so excited that he was already waiting with his neck drawn.
But the black and white still sat firmly, facing his wooden box, the medicine bottles and pots in the tinkering box, and some long and short knives, coarse cloth, and cotton.
"Bai Shuai is here, aren't you excited?" reminded him on Wednesday.
The black little white head did not raise his head, and slowly grinded the herb, "Come on, come here." I'm a nobody, no matter how excited I am, people may not notice me. ”
Ignoring him on Wednesday, he ran out of the tent with everyone and went to see Bai Shuai.
Bai Feng's voice came from outside the tent: "Tonight we have begun to enter the Jieshan River Valley, this Jieshan River Valley, the terrain is undulating, river valleys, ditches, dark pits, ramps, etc., complex and changeable, intersecting and horizontal. We have to be very careful. From tonight onwards, we must enter a state of imminent war, sit back and be ready to fight the Moro thieves at all times. ”
Hei Xiaobai stopped what he was doing and listened quietly.
Listening to the voice, the old man's body is still the same, he is still so tough, and his tone is clear and powerful.
"According to the spies who have just arrived, to the northwest, which is less than a hundred miles away from us, an outpost of Moro was stationed yesterday. That's 50,000 people. Of these, the light cavalry accounted for 10,000. It can be said that Moro Xiaoer has allocated a quarter of the family business here. So, we have to be careful. First sneak through the Jieshan River Valley for a while, and wait to go around to the back of the Moro army, which is the weaker defense of the Moro army, and we have limited manpower and can't fight hard, so we can only take a roundabout technique and skillful battles to hope to fight every battle. ”
Hei Xiaobai raised his head and muttered, "How could he tell all the battle plans in advance? This is an operational secret, isn't he afraid of leaking it?"
After thinking about it, he smiled, "He is an old handsome man who has been through a hundred battles, and I need to worry about this - since I can say it everywhere, he is either confident in the fact that he has arranged his troops, or he is a Ecstasy Formation that has deliberately walked out." ”
Outside the door, Bai Feng and the soldiers spoke very harmoniously, laughing from time to time.
Hei Xiaobai stood up and couldn't help but want to go out and have a look, but when he got to the door, he held back again.
At this time, the laughter was gone, and Bai Shuai went to the next barracks.
Wednesday happily ran in, "Hei Xiaobai, you weird person don't go out, do you know how good the opportunity you missed, Bai Shuai said a lot of things to us, hey, he really makes people admire from the bottom of my heart, he is naturally handsome!"
Hei Xiaobai mixed the ground medicine powder in the same way, and then sealed it into a small porcelain jar and stored it.
Wednesday picked up a jar and said, "What is this, what's the use?"
Hei Xiaobai smiled and didn't explain.
Wednesday couldn't help the stuffy jar, and smiled bitterly: "You, when Ming'er goes to the battlefield, you have to follow me, I have to protect you, you look stupid, I'm really worried that I will meet the Moro soldiers, and I will be killed before I fight." ”
Hei Xiaobai picked up a porcelain vase, "You have it, maybe you can use it one day." ”
Wednesday smiled, "Just your porcelain bottle, can you help me?" wanted to throw it, but when he saw that Hei Xiaobai had a serious face, not like a trickster, he really stuffed it into his pocket and put it on.
On Wednesday, he had already gone to bed, but Hei Xiaobai did not sleep, and continued to dispense medicine by a lamp.
The valley was low, and it was a cold season, and although there was a fire in the camp, it was cold at all, and he was so cold and tired that he got up and paced, ready to sleep.
At this time, the sound of a military horn was heard.
This is the ancient military trumpet, these days follow the team, occasionally hear the soldiers practice blowing, blowing whimpering.
But it never sounded so terrifying in the middle of the night.
It seems that the enemy army is attacking, and it is really going to fight the Moro soldiers face to face.
He quickly closed the box, and the trumpets sounded more intensely and rapidly, while war drums and shouts sounded.
"The Moro army is coming—get up, the Moro army is coming—"
"The Moro Army is coming, why don't you leave quickly?" Wednesday woke up from his dream, jumped up, pushed a handful of black and white, and hurried out the door with everyone.
Hei Xiaobai went out and stood in the open field, carrying his wooden box behind him.
Bai Feng really has a good way to govern the army, this team of people has only been out for a few days, and they are rushing day and night, but they also take time to carry out preparation and training, and when they just passed the Dajie Mountain, there is a group of people and horses who converge in, and they are also people who are in the army, and at the same time bring in a lot of weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc.
Hei Xiaobai looked at it, there was a large area of black pressure in the night, the formation was neat, the weapons were bright, the atmosphere was solemn, and the atmosphere was solemn. He couldn't help but applaud in his heart, sure enough, Bai Shuai was amazing, look at this situation, with him coming forward, this Dongliang Kingdom was saved, but just doing this, how much help would it be to the Bai family? Will the imperial court give the Bai family a fair explanation in the end?
He felt confused, seeing a tall figure in the crowd commanding everyone to line up to meet him from afar, knowing that he was Bai Feng, he wanted to go to him and talk to him for a while, but the scene in front of him did not allow it, so he could only endure it secretly. I said in my heart that after tonight's danger, I will find another opportunity.
The situation was urgent, and the two sides faced each other, the war drums rumbled, and the men and horses moved quickly in the darkness wrapped in the wind.
The thin figure of black and white was quickly overwhelmed by everyone.
Wednesday ran with the big team, and turned back to greet Hei Xiaobai, "You follow me, you must follow closely, if you can kill the enemy, you will kill, if you don't have the courage to kill, you follow me, I will protect you." ”
Hei Xiaobai didn't answer, just pushed him.
The thick pine oil torches were burning brightly in the windy field, and the army soon stood still on a flat ground in the river valley, and saw the torches on the opposite side, and the Moro cavalry riding high on horses was head-on, and behind were the infantry, and the cavalry infantry had all kinds of weapons in their hands, and a solemn aura was coming.
