Chang'an, this is already the seventh raid, and the leader of the team is Qin Yan, when he just entered Chang'an, he was arranged to be demoted to the team leader in the new army formed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info For this, Qin Yan complained more than once, but in order not to leave people with the excuse of taking care of private people, Qin Jin took his previous credit as a write-off.

However, Qin Yan always held his breath, and during the two months that Chang'an was besieged, he led his team to repeatedly attack and harass the city, and the cumulative number of beheadings exceeded five hundred. This is not a small amount, and he was promoted to brigade rate as a result. At this moment, it was the first time that he was the leader of the whole team, and he went out of the city to harass.

"The traitor's reaction is getting slower and slower, and in a few days we will be in and out, I'm afraid it will be like passing through no man's land!"

Erlang Qin Ji was a little complacent, Qin Yan turned his head and scolded him:

"It's a big taboo to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and before you kill many thieves, your tail will rise to the sky?"

Qin Ji laughed, he was used to being scolded, this kind of painless reprimand was not lethal at all.

"This is arrogant, in the past, when we went out of the city, we would be targeted by traitor rangers, but now we are all five miles away from the city, and there is not even a ghost shadow!"

Hearing this, Qin Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and then patted the horse's neck again.

"Finally said a decent word, if the situation is true, I will go back and ask the doctor for credit to you!"

"Please?"

Qin Yan was inexplicable, he just said a few words in passing, why did he want to ask for credit? It must be Qin Yan entertaining him. However, looking at Qin Yan's expression again, it didn't look like a joke, and he didn't even look like a smile when he was serious.

A group of 500 cavalry broke through the encirclement without any hindrance, and at this time they spread their hooves and galloped all the way to the east.

Qin Yan would not be stupid enough to attack the military camp of the besieging army, he broke out of the siege with only one purpose, that is, to loot and kill the rebels who had looted back from the southeastern counties.

These rebels often carried a lot of food and supplies, and each time they concentrated their superior forces to defeat these small groups of rebels, and then burned the supplies they brought back. Qin Yan finally felt that Qin Jin's burning order was a bit too wasteful, but when the fire was raging, he actually felt an inexplicable excitement.

To the southeast over Changle Slope is Bashang, originally along the banks of the Bashui villages scattered next to each other, people are endless, now there is no ghost shadow that has long been dispersed, most of the houses have been burned, occasionally find some dead chickens and dead pig corpses, but also prove that there are still living creatures in these places not long ago.

After running out for more than thirty miles, he didn't find anything, and Qin Yan took a sip a little unwillingly.

"Damn it, it's weird today, I chose a direction where birds don't shit!"

Qin Ji held back all the way, and just took the opportunity to tease:

"I have long said that Weiqiao is going in the direction of Jincheng, there is a fertile and rich land, and you can catch some lone traitors casually!"

Syllable!

Caught off guard, Qin Yan threw a whip over, and the whip sounded less than three inches away from Qin Yan and then retracted it. This frightened him, his whole body was stiff and didn't dare to move, if Qin Yan's whip was deflected, his face would suddenly have a piece of flesh and skin.

I forgot that the Wu brothers went to the direction of Jincheng the day before yesterday and crashed into the pit dug by others, and how many people came back in the end?"

Of course, the rebels are not fools, on the way west of Weiqiao, they were hijacked by the ** hundred-man team, so they set a trap to lure the Tang army into the Yan, and in the past few days, more than one team of men and horses have been surrounded and killed tragically.

Qin Yan had thought about it before leaving the city, and this routine raid would go to the relatively barren southeast, where was the Shangluo Mountain, the terrain was rugged and dangerous, and it was not suitable for large-scale crop cultivation, so most of the people living nearby lived by fishing and hunting.

However, further south of Bashang is Lantian County, where good jade is produced, and the local wealthy families naturally have good property, and they will definitely become the target of the rebels, but I don't know if it has been robbed cleanly.

Entering a valley, he suddenly heard the neighing of war horses in the valley, and Qin Yan suddenly became nervous.

"There are cavalry, ready for battle!"

Before the words fell, a whistle sounded in the mountains and forests, and it was obvious that the secret whistle arranged at the mouth of the valley had discovered their traces. Immediately afterwards, the horse's hooves rattled, and then faded away.

"It's not good, the traitor wants to escape, chase!"

Qin Yan didn't hesitate any longer, his legs clamped the horse's belly, urged the horse to accelerate, chased out for about two or three miles, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen war horses galloping towards the southwest without his life.

"Chase, don't let one go!"

After coming out for more than half a day, it was not easy to catch the traces of the rebels, how could they easily let go? Even if there are only more than ten levels of decapitation, it is good, it is much better than returning empty-handed!

"Huh, they seem to be running in the direction of Duqu Xiangji Temple, but don't fall into the trap!"

Qin Yan reminded him, and at this time, Qin Yan was already chasing after him, and only shouted:

"If you're afraid, just wait here, until we've beheaded a dozen traitors and come back to you. ”

"Afraid, who is afraid of who is born by a concubine!"

Qin Ji was afraid that others would say that he was timid, so he followed the horse and chased after him regardless of his excitement.

After chasing out for about ten miles, Qin Yan grabbed the horse and stopped the pursuit. Qin Ji felt that he had another opportunity to tease him, so he smiled and said:

"Why, say I'm cowardly, and I don't dare to chase anymore now? or you go after it, we're waiting for you here......"

This time, Qin Yan surprisingly did not quarrel with him, but tilted his head vigilantly, and after a while, he hurriedly whispered:

"Quick, retreat, there is a large group of thieves ahead!"

Suddenly, Qin Ji was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that they almost plunged into the pit dug by the rebels, and the five hundred cavalry no longer dared to hesitate, and ran back to the valley when their horsepower was exhausted, so they had to stop and rest.

At the time of retreat, a tanma fell far behind, and after waiting for about a stick of incense, the tanma also followed.

"The rebels chased less than five miles before they returned......"

At this point, Qin Ji let out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally, there is no danger, I must not burn incense for the land lord when I go out of the city today, so I touched the moldy head......"

But Qin Yan smelled something unusual from it.

"No, it stands to reason that we are strong, if we are caught by traitors, we will have to chase after us for no life, why do we go back after chasing less than five miles now?"

There was a strong wind in the valley, the tree trunks were blown and swayed from side to side, the snow on the branches fell in a flutter, and the smile on Qin Ji's face also froze.

"You, don't you want to go back again, right?"

Although he doesn't like to be called timid, after all, there are some things that can't be done casually, such as this reckless return, didn't he just get out of the big net and go back again?

Sure enough, Qin Yan's hunch was right, he guessed Qin Yan's thoughts.

I saw Qin Yan wave his hand, summon a few of the palace's rangers to the front, and after asking in detail for a while, he immediately made a decision.

"A few of you, go back with me again to find out what ghosts are in front of you, you can't just be frightened and go back in embarrassment, right?"

"Da Lang think twice, when he came out, the lord specially explained to me, I must look at you, I know that you will take risks......"

Qin Yan was a little impatient by his counting, so he said:

"Go secretly, go back secretly, what danger can there be? You and your brothers went out of the valley and waited for us three miles outside the valley!"

The determination had been made, no one could change Qin Yan's mind, and a few rangers were even more daring, following him and heading west.

This time, they were cautious and did not take the main road, but only led their horses into the woods, although the walk was difficult and slow, but greatly reduced the chance of being discovered by the rebel outpost. Qin Yan suddenly felt that the reins in his hand were suddenly tightened, and the body of the war horse actually fell down obliquely, followed by a miserable neigh.

This neighing frightened Qin Yan, and he subconsciously pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist and slashed it down the horse's neck with one sword. Suddenly, the horse's neighing came to an abrupt halt, and the horse's head fell to the snow, and the blood with temperature in his neck sprayed all over his face.

The whole person was lying in the snow in the forest, and several horse scouting soldiers were also startled by his actions, and when they got closer, they found that the hooves of the war horses were broken by the beasts, no wonder they suddenly fell and neighed.

"Don't make a sound, don't make a sound!"

Qin Yan whispered a warning to them not to make a sound, and at the same time tilted his head to listen for any unusual movement outside the woods. After staying so quietly for half an hour, he finally didn't see any movement, and then he got up, but the half-sitting and half-lying posture lasted too long, half of his body was stiff, and the whole person fell on the snow again.

"It's dangerous!"

At this time, the Tanma who walked in the front did not see Qin Yan and the others for a long time, so they returned to look for them, and when they saw that they were all hiding in the woods, they put their minds at ease, and when they got closer, they suddenly saw Qin Yan covered with blood on his face, and jumped again, thinking that something had happened.

Qin Yan said:

"It's okay, the war horse is shocked, it's a pity that the good horse!"

Looking at the corpse of the war horse that was already cold, he felt a little regretful.

"I found it in front of me, it should be the rebel barracks, but it was very quiet, and I didn't find how many people and horses there were. ”

Qin Yan suddenly came to his senses and asked:

"Specifically, how many tents are there in the barracks and how big are they?"

The tanma sighed and shook his head again.

"I'm afraid that there is an ambush near the barracks, so I don't dare to get too close, and I looked at it in the forest for a while, there shouldn't be many tents, it seems to be stacked supplies!"

Another Tanmachi said:

"How could the rebels hoard supplies in this forest?"

Qin Yan pondered for a while and said:

"What kind of mountains and forests are this, just now we chased from east to west, and we have entered the territory of Chang'an Wannian County. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the north, and then to the guide.

"We are not more than twenty miles to the north is Chang'an City, and no more than thirty miles to the south is Xiangji Temple. ”

The map near Chang'an, he was already familiar with Qin Jin's side, but he was much more familiar with this terrain than ordinary people.
