Chapter 234: Hurrying
When night fell, the camp was already built, and the neighing of horses and cows, accompanied by the laughter of the soldiers, was the joy of the day's work, and these joys, along with the smoke and fragrant vapour, made the whole camp more and more alive.
The soldiers showed a satisfied smile on their faces, Takato showed a satisfied smile on their faces, Naha and Yan Haibo showed a smug smile on their faces, everyone was laughing, but the meaning of the smile was different, even the cows and horses in the pen seemed to be laughing, the horses were finally full of beans instead of just hay, and the old cows who had been tired for a day could also sleep well, so that the tired hooves and sore necks could get a night's rest.
When Gao Yuan finished gnawing the mutton jerky in his hand and drank a bowl of soup in his hand, in the night, the sound of horses' hooves finally came, and under the reflection of the bonfire, the infantry rushed out of the night with a dozen of his cavalry, and ran straight to Gao Yuan's front, turned over and dismounted, turned around, and dragged a wild hunt from the horse, and threw it to the ground, "Roast it!" The infantry simply said to the guards at the edge of the fire.
The guards smiled happily and drew their swords, disemboweled, and got busy.
Looking at this skinny boar, after glancing at the empty-handed cavalrymen behind him, Gao Yuanka laughed: "Infantry, you went out to work for a long time, and you got this thing back?" It's not enough for everyone to stuff their teeth, right?"
The infantry sat beside Gao Yuan, "County Captain, it's not that we can't hit anything, but we found some strange things in the woods, and we rushed all the way over, so we delayed the time, this wild hunt is still not good, when we came back, it just appeared in front of us, and we got it back."
"What's the strange thing?" Gao Yuan's face froze.
"There were more than one of them in the woods who spied on us, and unfortunately, when we found them, they were already retreating, and it was dark, and we were unfamiliar with the road, so they threw us off. We couldn't catch them, and when we came back, we searched the place where they had been hiding for more than a day." The infantryman's expression was solemn.
If it is a passer-by or a hunter, then it is impossible to lurk here for many days, and there can be no large beasts at the edge of the forest, and if these people have been lurking here for a long time, then there is only one explanation, they are specially waiting for the wind soldiers to escort the grain and grass.
After listening to the infantry's report, Gao Yuan turned his head, looked at the blazing fire, was silent for a long time, and said faintly: "Is this coming?"
"County Lieutenant, what's coming?" The infantry said a little strangely: "According to my estimate, these people are only afraid of bandits in this mountain, and there is nothing to be afraid of, no matter how bold the bandits are, they will not dare to confront the regular army, and it is estimated that after these spies flee back, they will shrink their heads."
Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case, ordinary bandits will never fight the army head-on, but Gao Yuan knows in his heart that this time, I am afraid that it is not so simple.
"Call Yanzi and Naha." He looked up.
"County Lieutenant, what's the matter?" Yan Haibo's legs and feet were fast, and in a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Gao Yuan, and at a glance he saw the wild boar that was disemboweling, and couldn't help but smile, "Good thing, it's just a little thinner."
"You know how to eat!" The infantry choked on him.
"The people take food as the sky, and the food is good, the key is to be able to eat and be able to do it!" Naha's voice came from behind him.
"That's right." Yan Haibo smiled and sat cross-legged beside Gao Yuan, "County Captain, what's the matter?"
"Infantry, you tell Xiao Yanzi and Naha about the situation." Gao Yuan swings his head.
After briefly talking about what happened, Yan Haibo sneered: "A group of mountain bandits, they dare to come to fight our idea, they are really impatient, since this is the case, let's send them to reincarnate as soon as possible, and reincarnate as a good person in the next life."
"It's not that simple!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "Infantry, after eating, you take a few people out of Lu, find the surrounding people, and inquire about the situation on this Luliang Mountain. How many bandits are there?"
"Yes!"
"From today onwards, the soldiers will not take off their armor and horses, and we must guard against their sneak attacks."
"I'm afraid that if they don't come, if they dare to come, they will have no return!" Naha pulled out his knife and thrust it in.
"From today onwards, the barracks will be rearranged, especially the grain and grass, and they will be tightly guarded."
"County lieutenant, these bandits don't dare to really come, even if they really come, they can still break our guards, the grain and grass are in the camp, and if they can't break the camp, they can't take away the grain and grass." Naha said with a smile.
"What if they didn't intend to steal the grain and grass in the first place, but just wanted to destroy him?" Gao Yuan asked rhetorically. With the scale of our current camp, there is no need to break the camp, and the rocket with grease can solve the problem."
"Burned grain and grass?" Naha's eyes widened, "The idea that the mountain bandits want to fight us, isn't it just for this batch of grain and grass?" A fire burned out, such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself, that mountain bandit is willing to do it?"
"Or maybe they don't want food and grass, but my lofty head!" There was a hint of hideousness in Gao Yuan's tone, "You can't kill me Gao Yuan, and it's also a good idea to burn the grain and grass I escorted, if that's the case, what should I do?" Back to Liaoxi? Then go back to square one, go to the camp assembly area, and wait to be beheaded on charges of delaying military aircraft?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and everyone only remembered at this time the entanglement between Gao Yuan and some big people.
"These shameless things are really going to do everything." Yan Haibo scolded.
"The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, I'm afraid of a fart!" Naha hummed, "Now that we know each other's plans, can we still make them happy?"
Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "I originally thought that there would be trouble after arriving at the assembly point, but I didn't expect these big people to really look up to me, so I started to arrange it so early, and it was okay, since it started, many of the previous uneasiness and apprehension were also put down, Naha said it well, the soldiers will block, the water will flood, so don't compete with it. Come, let's roast wild boar and make a tooth sacrifice."
Everyone was shocked, this little episode, no one took it to heart, come on, come here, come at ease, if there has been no movement, then it is worrying!
After eating the roasted wild boar, the infantry took people out to inquire about the news, but this night, the camp was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and more than 1,000 people were divided into several shifts, taking turns to rest and be on duty.
There was nothing to say all night, and when the camp was pulled out on the second day, the infantry appeared in front of Gao Yuan with two black circles under his eyes, "County lieutenant, I have investigated, there is a bandit on this Luliang Mountain, the leader of the bandits is called Feng Fayong, and there are thousands of bandits who kill people without blinking, and their strength is not weak.
"The bandits of more than 1,000 people are not weak, no wonder they have the courage to touch us!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook the reins, "Let's go, the left and right will be between two or three days, and if we don't come in two or three days, we will walk out of the Luliang Mountain Realm."
More than 1,000 Fufeng soldiers unfolded the battle formation and began to move forward, the cavalry released the sentry sentry farther away than before, all the soldiers knew that there would be a group of mountain bandits to fight their own ideas in the past two days, laughing and scolding, but also raised a little vigilance, this army is mostly veterans, and the mentality is relaxed, which does not mean that they ignore the opponent, because they were always the object of neglect before, but now, the people who despise them have gone to the king of Yama to drink tea and chat.
That is, from this day on, the road suddenly became bumpy, either some big pits were inexplicably dug on the avenue, or there were big tree molds on the road, and the progress of the whole team was slowed down all of a sudden.
"It seems that the opponent is mobilizing troops." Gao Yuanda laughed and said, "In order to slow down our speed, these moves have been used, is this to openly argue with me?"
"That's a good dare, but let's see, which of these mountain bandits is stronger and weaker than the Donghu cavalry?" The infantry laughed very happily, and a group of mountain bandits openly called out a unit crawling out of the sea of blood and corpses on the battlefield, which was no longer stupid, but nerve.
"I really don't know whether to praise this bandit leader for his courage, or to scold him for being stupid, sneak attack or a little bit of certainty, hard work, we can eat them alive!" Naha rode on his horse, took out a knife and began to shave his beard, the beard was so messy that it covered most of his face, so that when he fought against the enemy, the other party would inevitably not see his true face, it would not be beautiful, and he must trim his beard neatly and cleanly.
What Gao Yuan didn't know was that when they were laughing happily, on Luliang Mountain, Feng Fayong was scolding himself, scolding Jiang Xinliang and Jiang Jiaquan to the point that they were not as good as bullshit scum, of course, these two people were not in front of them, they were still soaking in the hot springs in the mountains.
The bastard sewing boy wanted to hit other people's ideas, and he couldn't even figure out the speed of the other party's march, and the estimate was inaccurate, and he told himself that the other party would take ten days to work hard, and in less than five days, the other party would arrive at the foot of Luliang Mountain, and he would be in a hurry, and he had to send someone to make trouble, delaying the opponent's forward speed, plus the sentinel was also found by the opponent two days ago, and now his own actions are tantamount to robbing with open fire, so he just rushed to the other party, shouting that this mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, and I want to hit the mountain before crossing. Leave to buy road money!
"Big boss, or forget it!" Lu Liangshan's second leader came to Feng Fayong, "I've seen their military appearance, I'm afraid it's really hard to deal with!"
Feng Fayong turned the iron ball in his hand on the spot, pinched the tooth flower for a long time, and still gritted his teeth and said: "Do it, you must do it, for the sake of Zhao Guo, brother. In this battle, even if Lu Liangshan suffered heavy casualties, he had to burn this batch of grain, Xiao Ke, gather our core brothers, and after the fight, we sneaked in from the other direction and burned their grain and grass."
