"And what do you do now?" Zhao Hu asked again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If you are willing to accept me, my family and the cavalry of that brigade are yours, and I am willing to serve you." Peter said very seriously.

Zhao Hu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I accept you, but I don't need your family wealth." ”

"Yes, my subordinate Peter meets your lordship."

There was no joy on Peter's face, and he kept the serious expression just now and bowed to Zhao Hu. The two cavalry officers behind him hesitated for a moment and then bowed with the salute.

They have no choice, the cavalry that can be brought out by Peter are all people who have no concern, and there is nowhere to go, and a brigade of cavalry that is neither indifferent nor helpless has been thrown into Zhao Hu's command like this.

"Get up, I'll arrange your work when the situation stabilizes." Zhao Hu has not yet been arrogant to the point where the other party will be entrusted with a heavy task as soon as he takes refuge, after all, Zhao Hu does not know Peter's ability, although he used to be the provincial governor, but Zhao Hu just doesn't know what the provincial governor is capable of.

Peter has no opinion, he knows very well that if you want to settle down in a system, newcomers who have just arrived must not be too aggressive, so he agrees with Zhao Hu's statement.

After the next reunion, a simple welcome party was held, and after that, everyone rested.

That night, Zhao Hu, who was asleep, heard the sound of eager horses' hooves outside, and immediately grabbed his weapon and jumped up, but soon found that it was only the scouts who had returned.

Zhao Hu also knew that the third watch of the scout ran back in the middle of the night to report, and it must be very urgent information, so he immediately went to the hall to meet him.

In the bright hall, most of the main characters appeared in disheveled clothes, and it seems that everyone is a vigilant person, maybe someone can sleep with one eye open.

The guards in the hall with tired faces immediately saluted when they saw Zhao Hu and shouted eagerly: "My lord! According to the latest transmission report, a large number of troops with the flag of the Haiquan Division were found camped two hundred and fifty kilometers ahead! It is estimated that the number is more than a full division! And there is a brigade of cavalry!

"According to the speed of the march, the cavalry unit of this brigade will arrive in the city at noon the next day!"

The pupils of all immediately dilated several times, a brigade of cavalry! A cavalry force of more than 16,000 people! Although he knew that the division commander was not simple, he didn't expect that he would be able to form such a huge cavalry force!

Zhao Hu knew very well that there was no need for other troops to intervene, as long as the cavalry of this brigade had the average combat effectiveness of the imperial army, his own people would be easily crushed into powder.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu couldn't help but sigh: "Commander of the Kate Division, you really look up to me Zhao Hu, attacking a small major leader, and actually dispatching a reorganized division of more than 80,000 people!" One of the brigades is actually a cavalry brigade! What a big deal! ”

"My lord, my subordinates thought they could only return to Bright Moon City." Odie suggested loudly.

"Sun Jie, immediately order Mingyue City to mobilize all ships to come to the local pick-up and drop-off personnel! Odi immediately arranged for everyone to arrive at the dock, responsible for boarding the ship and marshalling, boarding the ship immediately after the marshalling, leaving immediately after filling the ship, Oaked was responsible for counting the territory materials, and the valuable and small things were immediately moved to the dock! Zhou Wen, gather all the young men with me! Zhao Hu immediately gave an order resolutely.

"My lord, even if Mingyue City receives the news and sends a ship, it will be a day later, and the ships on the dock can't carry tens of thousands of Dingkou at all!" Odie reminded anxiously.

When everyone heard this, their faces immediately changed, which meant that some people were going to be abandoned.

Zhao Hu didn't think about it and said: "Immediately dismantle the wooden walls of the city and the wooden planks of the buildings in the city, and send them to the dock to be bundled, this kind of wooden raft pulled by the sea ship can be held for a while." ”

"Yes!"

Ou Di and the others immediately agreed excitedly and loudly, knowing that they didn't have to abandon anyone, and their hearts were full of motivation.

At this moment, everyone knows that praying mantis blocking cars is an idiot's thing, and it is very difficult for two wings to fight against a regular brigade, let alone use two wings against a reinforced mixed division with a cavalry brigade. Even with the addition of 100,000 strong men, it would be a dish of food to face such a division, so no one had an opinion on Zhao Hu's retreat order.

Some people may say, isn't the terrain where the level is located good? You can stop the cavalry there.

It is possible to block the cavalry, but the other side is not a single cavalry dispatch, there are four infantry brigades behind, these brigades can climb over the hills on both sides of the checkpoint with their feet, and when the time comes, they will be attacked by four infantry brigades on both sides, and there is also a cavalry brigade charge in front, so you can think about the result.

There is a huge difference in strength, there is no need to fight at all, just flee, only in this way is the best way to reduce losses, so this is why Zhao Hu gave the order to retreat without thinking about it after knowing the number and establishment of the enemy.

Thinking of this, everyone could not help but rejoice that the scouts had been placed out of the day's journey because of Peter's arrival, otherwise it would have been a great disaster for the enemy to find out when they had entered the range of fifty kilometers of regular patrols, because there was no time for retreat at that time, and there must have been very few people who could get on the ship and escape.

In that chaotic moment, no one dared to guarantee that they were one of the very few.

But now it is much better to have a day of warning time, although many supplies cannot be taken away, but the personnel can be completely loaded and left.

Sun Jie patted his chest on this and assured him, because he also had a communication system that was very quickly connected to Bright Moon City, so he would definitely be able to meet the sea ships of Bright Moon City halfway by then.

Originally, the new people in the territory were told to get on the boat and leave, but they were all reluctant, they worked hard to build a home, and their lives were very leisurely, and they actually let themselves go to the vast sea? Idiots will be willing!

But seeing all the strong men, including the army, begin to desperately dismantle the wooden walls and building planks, and frantically carry supplies to the docks, even idiots know that something is wrong.

No one is stupid, so he immediately took his belongings and pulled his family, and ran to the dock to wait for the group according to the order.

No one dared to make trouble, let alone scramble, and now those soldiers who maintained order became fierce and vicious, and if they disobeyed, they raised their whips stained with seawater and whipped them violently, and if they were disobedient, they would directly cut off their heads.

These soldiers are all militiamen, that is, they were originally from local divisions, and they know best that it is impossible for them to restore their status as imperial soldiers in these years, and they are about to face the army of division commanders, and it is normal for them to be in a hot mood, and it is good that they have not collapsed.

These horrific and bloody acts made Ding Kou understand again that he was just meat on other people's chopping boards, and he could cut it as he wanted, so it was better to be well-behaved and sensible.

The people obeyed the order, and the boarding work was much faster, and soon the fleet was in full swing.

I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, or some other strange reason, when the last ship full of Dingkou left the dock, the sound of dense horses' hooves rumbled from far and near.

When the vanguard cavalry broke through the dock and was half-submerged in the water to shoot rockets at the sea boats, the wooden rafts towed by the sea ships were just out of the range of the rockets.

Dingkou, who jumped into the sea because of the dense rockets rushing head-on, soon found that the rocket lost power and fell into the sea in front of him, and immediately climbed on the wooden raft with great courage, and then laughed at the opponent's inferior archery skills on it.

But the laughter soon ceased, and everyone's breath became heavy, and anyone who saw the cavalry that filled the beach so densely with no gaps in sight would have such a heavy heart. But everyone soon cheered, because they had escaped, and there was no better way to express it except to desperately look up to the sky and let out their excitement.

Standing at the stern of the last sea ship, staring at Zhao Hu, who had burned the empty lord's mansion into flames because of the ignition device, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The southeast peninsula, the boundary of the Qin family.

At noon, when the sun is at its most powerful, the scorching sun is as hot as ever, making people sweat and dizzy.

At the moment, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and most of the merchants who went out gathered in the shade of the trees on both sides of the road to temporarily escape the obscenity of the sun.

On the edge of a fork in the road, there is a clearing with two large trees with lush foliage, where the clever villagers have long set up an open-air teahouse.

This teahouse is just four bamboos supporting a rag to cover it, there is not even a table and stool in it, and there are only rice balls and boiled water for food, but due to the geographical advantage, business is still very prosperous.

No, at this moment, dozens of carriages were already parked on the side, and nearly 100 people were stopping here. In addition to the passers-by in groups of threes and twos, there are also seven or eight groups of people who look like vendors.

Although, because the weather was very hot, everyone was not in the mood to make a loud noise, but they were all chatting in twos and threes.

There was a rumbling sound, and everyone looked up, and not far away, more than a dozen carriages were rumbling towards this place with a cloud of dust.

Seeing that the dust was getting scarcer and thinner, the teahouse owner immediately understood that the other party was ready to come here to rest, and scolded the guy with a smile on his face to get ready, and his mind had already begun to calculate how much money he could make from this group of merchants.

Just as the teahouse owner had predicted, the dozen or so horse-drawn carriages drove off the road and into the recreation area.

The teahouse owner was about to get close, but was startled by the sight in front of him. When the coachman of the first carriage was dressed more beautifully than his boss, the coachman threw dozens of copper coins with his nostrils facing the sky and proudly said, "Thirty buckets of water to feed the horses!" ”

The owner of the teahouse was taken aback, and actually took money to buy water for the horse, too rich, right?
