Chapter 90: The Journey
"Enemy attack!"
"Alert!"
"Protect Pingzhang!"
The originally quiet camp boiled almost instantly, and the sound of people shouting and neighing was incessant, and the sound came very suddenly, and it came from several directions at the same time, so neat that it was like a person calling in your ear, which made people tremble.
Ali Hague stood silently outside the tent, surrounded by his own guards, he was still calm in surprise, and quickly formed a countermeasure in his mind, no matter which direction the Song people would come from, the most important thing was that his camp could not be chaotic, otherwise it would be a collapse.
"The order went down, the outer cavalry immediately attacked and advanced, and the armies guarded the camp and did not fight without authorization, and asked Ashuhan to take people to inspect the battalions, and those who disturbed were all killed on the spot, and the torches were lit.
Repeating the order, Ali Hague had time to think about the content of those shouts, and he had the impression that there was no such person at all, let alone a grudge, whether he was doing this simply to disturb the morale of the army, or was there some other reason. Those sounds are so close that they seem to be in front of you, when did the Song people arrive? How many people are there? Where are they, Ali Hague suppressed the anger in his heart, and listened to the growing movement in the camp, and his heart had sunk to the bottom.
There was still chaos in the camp, and even a few fireheads were clearly visible, he didn't know whether it was the Song people who attacked in, or the panic caused by his own people, the only hope was that this chaos would not spread, but if the Song people's offensive direction could not be found, the final result might be another Jiankang City.
"Ten miles ahead of the left battalion, no trace of the enemy was found."
"Fifteen miles outside the right camp, I didn't meet the Song people."
"There is no sign of a flotilla coming from the river."
"There is no movement in the direction of Huangzhou."
However, what is puzzling is that those cavalry soldiers who are carrying torches and risking death to counterattack, and the attacks in the direction from which the sound came from, all failed, not only did they not find any Song people, but even those sounds suddenly disappeared, and the night was still terrifying, and Ali Hague felt fear for the first time.
He didn't believe that such a big battle was just to harass himself, how could those voices coming from all directions explain? This was even more difficult for him to accept than the Song people breaching the fortress, because fear stemmed from the unknown.
"Search again, don't let go of every corner, whether it's a person or a ghost, you have to find out." Ali Hague's tone was already a little abnormal, but not long after, the results of the inspection had not been reported, and Azihan rushed over first.
"How's the damage?" Seeing him, Ali Hague was slightly relieved, no matter what, as long as the camp did not collapse, everything was still saved.
"There were a few chaos, hundreds of people were killed according to your orders, a granary was set on fire, a few people ran away, the damage was not big, but the matter was too strange, there was no shadow of the Song people at all, how did they do it?"
Ali Hague was speechless, he also wanted to know what was going on, but he tossed until dawn, and the cavalry troops who were exploring outside the camp did not find any clues, and yesterday's voice seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air, which made people feel so discouraged.
Of course, this damage is far less than his bottom line, basically negligible, but if you don't figure out the reason, it means that every night will be unpeaceful, all of this is very similar to the process of the battle of Jiankang mentioned by Boyan, before the attack of the Song people began, there was a long period of non-stop harassment, which is especially clear to Ah Tinghan, who has experienced the war, the two glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's hearts.
"The cavalry's patrol can't be stopped at night, and the scope will be expanded, ten miles around the camp, if it still doesn't work, just enlarge it for another ten miles, the commander still doesn't believe it, they will fly away."
Ali Hague said fiercely, having said that, they still don't believe it in their hearts, if the Song people were really so capable, they wouldn't be in this situation. For his orders, Assassin rarely has no objections, hard work is nothing, how can it be better than inexplicably suffering defeat, but not knowing where the enemy came from.
The people on the other side of the river are also very sparse, as the saying goes, 'the soldiers are like bandits', which refers not only to the rout, after yesterday's toss, the attention of the Yuan people was naturally put on the Jiangbei area. Therefore, when Old Man Zheng came out of the river bank with them, he did not encounter any patrols at all.
"Female doll, hurry up and put it on, wait until you get to the town, and then change your body to do it." The cold air in the early morning was a bit biting, and when it soaked out of the river, everyone was holding their arms, and the old man took off his coarse cloth tie, wrung the water out with all his might, and wrapped the girl in his mouth without saying anything.
Although she shivered with cold, the pheasant's heart was beating hard, and she still couldn't believe that the voice she heard yesterday could be real. Because of the meaning of that sentence, others may not be able to understand it, but she knows that in fact, it is the elder brother who is telling herself that the last enemy is his, and the sister can't rob him, and what makes her excited is that the person who made this voice turned out to be Brother Yu, who she thought would not be able to come back.
So, there was no need to carry out any action, taking advantage of the chaos in the camp, no one would take care of their group of people, so a group of people set fire to the granary, and then escaped by surprise, because the Yuan people's patrols were all on land, and they could only swim across the river, but fortunately, the luck was not bad, and no one was lost on the way.
Not far from the riverbank is a desolate town,
Since you want to coax the child to sleep, there is about half of it to be uploaded a little later, and the following ones are all full, so you don't have to care
Zheng Deyan didn't introduce her to the people who came with her, but just told a man that there would naturally be no lights near the granary, and the man looked at this Han sergeant who was not tall, and he didn't recognize it at all in the dark.
"You hurried to Dadu that day, and the old man and the girl had been waiting for you since they finished the matter, but then I got the news that the messengers of the Song people were all killed by the Tartars, and only one person escaped. As soon as he heard their descriptions, the old man knew that it was you, so he had the idea of going on a trip. ”
In the enemy camp, the old man did not have the slightest politeness, and told the ins and outs of the matter, it turned out that this trip, they mainly escorted Yue'e back, and it happened that the Yuan people were sent in the Yidu area, so they took advantage of the relationship to send a village, in the name of sending military food to the front line, swaggered here, of course, the time was a little slower, and it was precisely because of this that they happened to catch up with this scene.
The pheasant slave wanted to cry without tears, she didn't know whether to thank the other party for appearing in time to save her, or to blame the old man for meddling and ruining her plan.
"Girl, I don't know what you lost in that city, but I think it should be a man, I don't know why you risked your life to assassinate that Tartar, I don't know what kind of blood feud you have, the old man doesn't have the time to persuade you anything." The old man shook his head.
"Do you think this is good, that enemy of yours, the old man will help you kill it, you take the people here, how many can escape. The road over there in Yidu has almost been cleared, if there is anything, Xiaolinzi can help you, the people here, and the people in the valley over there, whether you take them to rebel or live in seclusion, I will hand it over to you in the future. ”
The "master" pheasant slave looked up in amazement, and saw a pair of calm eyes that had been through vicissitudes of life.
"Listen to your master, the old man can be blinded when he dies." Zheng Deyan pressed her shoulder with his hand, "Girl, you are still young, it is not worth dying like this, no matter what kind of hurdles you encounter, you can get through it and it will pass." The old man has already lived enough, he didn't follow the four ladies at the beginning, he just couldn't let go of these poor people, and now that they can follow you, then there is nothing to think about. ”
"I can't, I can't let people die because of me." The pheasant slave shook her head helplessly, if she wanted to find someone, why did she throw the microphone.
"We're all voluntary, you can ask the people out there, would they be willing?" Zheng Deyan looked at her without letting go at all, "There must always be a reason for people to die, not for you, but for others, at least the old man looks at you pleasing to the eye, and you are a person who values affection, as long as you agree, this is not a vain death, it is a good deal." ”
"Okay, don't go out and meet them, and when you see movement there, you can light this place with a fire breaker, and then run to the river while there is chaos, and don't look back no matter what happens, swim across the river to a town on the other side, where your brothers will pick up, and you should know the kind of things they carry."
The pheasant slave listened to the old man in a daze, and arranged everything in order, but why did it sound so unpleasant. Until she was pulled out by the old man, she didn't know how things became like this, and the chauffeur man standing outside watched the sergeant being taken out, all of which were unknown, until the old man introduced them in a low voice, and the pheasant slave untied his helmet in a daze, and these people suddenly let out a soft cry.
"Uncle Zheng, let me go." When he listened to the old man's plan, the man he called Lin Ge'er jumped out first.
"Let's go." Immediately afterwards, one man after another took the initiative to ask.
"Don't talk nonsense, do you know who you're going to kill?" The old man waved to stop their actions, and everyone quieted down when they heard this, "Protect her, rush out, and burn incense on the grave in the coming year, which is to fulfill my filial piety." ”
