Chapter 974: Extra Arrangement Leaves No Trace (Fourth Update)

After Zhang Xiaosong led the team to deal with it, he made a few bitter grasses that looked like they were naturally piled up by the wind.

He departed again with the men, and joined the army.

The team moved in a southeasterly direction, forty miles from where he had just gone, in a straight line from east to west, and set up camp.

There is also grass here, and the horses graze on their own.

The soldiers took out the flour made from fried beans from the bags on their horses, put them in the palms of their hands, and spread them out to feed the horses.

At critical moments, raw beans cannot be used to feed horses, and horses eat grass, and eating raw beans is easy to have diarrhea.

The hot air balloon rose and looked into the distance, and someone next to it began to build a shelf, to build a ten-zhang high wooden shelf and mortise and tenon structure.

When it gets dark, the lookout stands on the shelf and watches, and the hot air balloon cannot be raised, and the hot air balloon at night is like a big lantern.

Zhang Xiaosong didn't set up camp and rested directly, he was not ready to rely on the camp to defend.

He is a pure cavalry, and cavalry needs stockades?

When it gets dark, the horses are fed, the hot air balloon comes down, and the torches are not lit.

Everyone put the horses down in military coats and slept against them.

Horses can also sleep on their side and sometimes feel comfortable.

The stars in the sky blink and blink, and the moon ...... It's already falling, and it's the beginning of the month, the first quarter of the month.

Rise early, set early.

Zhang Xiaosong had an extra blanket, he didn't cover it, but rolled it up, used it as a pillow, and called the young generals to squeeze and sleep together.

The shasy hat that can be put down is tied on the chin, and the body is curled up, and the army coat keeps warm.

They had leather clothes inside, all of which were sent from Chang'an.

Even so, the tip of the nose will be frozen red, and it will be really cold at night.

The soldiers were content, and they did not have military coats and thick hats.

What did the army eat on the march, and now they still bring canned bamboo tubes, compared to the beginning, the difference between heaven and earth.

Sentinels standing on several lookouts looking through binoculars, chewing on meat floss.

Meat floss is pork floss, and now there are teachings in the Tang Dynasty, but there are few who believe in it.

Otherwise, Li Yi would have worked hard to prepare food, and he had to consider other people's beliefs.

Now the soldiers don't believe it, so they eat pork floss, which is very delicious.

There will be no letter in the future, and Li Yi will never allow *** to come in again.

Time passed, and it was almost midnight when a lookout first saw the march with torches at night.

It is said that it is seen, but in fact, there are many small points of light there.

The distance is too far, and the enemy scouts will run twenty or thirty miles if they are close, otherwise how can the team rest forty miles away from that position?

The role of the telescope was manifested at this moment, and the herald slid down the rope on the slightly shaking lookout.

Find Zhang Xiaosong: "Patrol, patrol, here, the big cannibal is here, there are torches, small dots." ”

As soon as the man finished speaking, another soldier ran over: "Patrol, they have arrived." ”

Zhang Xiaosong was agitated and sat up: "Tell me to go down and prepare, sure enough, it is a night march, if you don't rush again, the horse will have nothing to eat." ”

Zhang Xiaosong took out the water bladder and poured a little water to wash his face to sober himself up, as for whether his face will be cold at night, that is not in the scope of consideration.

The others were woken up one after another, and they also washed their faces and were about to fight.

Don't shout at the horses, some of them are standing, and many of them are huddled together to keep warm.

There is no need for Zhang Xiaosong to give any more orders, the soldiers know what to do.

There was a big patch of grass in that place, and the big cannibals came over, and the horses couldn't stand it, so they would graze there.

The big cannibals would also rest there, cook some food, and wait for dawn.

If the Great Cannibals set up camp somewhere else tonight, then ...... That's impossible, there is no water.

Unless the distance is very long, but they are fighting together, and they can't arrive together, the friendly forces are finished.

The team set off, the lookout was gone, and everyone rode slowly on horseback, forty miles away.

Without torches, the horse is very cautious when it lands its hooves, for fear of stepping into the pit.

On the other hand, it is said that there are 20,000 people, but in fact, only more than 16,000 people are indeed resting.

Zhang Xiaosong is too familiar with the living habits of the enemy in the Western Regions, and there are many white-clothed horses and horses, more than people, which are used to load weapons and supplies.

The horses were grazing, and the people were eating, eating jerky, the jerky of cattle and mutton, and drawing water from the streams.

They were tired on the way, and the scouts were released so that they could eat in peace.

Zhang Xiaosong's team gradually recovered during the march, no longer so sleepy, and the cold wind blew and sobered up.

It's the same with horses, which are gradually adjusted after movement.

"Scouts go out and shoot enemy scouts." Half an hour passed, and seeing that he was about to encounter the enemy's scouts who had gone twenty miles forward, Zhang Xiaosong ordered.

In fact, the generals saw it with binoculars, and the scouts in white were illuminated by torches, and under the telescopes, the torches were too obvious.

The scouts dismounted and ran quickly forward with their crossbows.

After a quarter of an hour after they left, Zhang Xiaosong gave another order: "Speed up, keep up, prepare for battle, rocket." ”

The people in the team exchanged arrows, wrapped in incendiary objects in front of the arrows, fired them with crossbows, and shot them when they lit them with lighters.

It is mainly used to light and ignite the fuse over there, a large-scale war, and there is no hurry.

The scouts running with crossbows gradually approached the enemy scouts, and the scouts in white were relatively lax, not thinking that they would encounter the Tang army here.

In their minds, the Tang army should have just reacted.

But I didn't know that people had long said that Sulu was getting stronger, and he should lead troops to attack him.

None of the generals guarding the border in the Tang Dynasty were given for nothing, including Wang Zhonghei in history.

He said that An Lushan wanted to rebel, but unfortunately Li Longji thought it was impossible, and the result was ......

The generals from the Kaiyuan to the Tianbao period were more sensitive than the other, and each had a better grasp of the situation than the other.

A good hand was broken by Li Longji.

The current portrait of the Tang Dynasty generals......

Like Li Yi at that time, when he had just finished destroying the Wa Kingdom, each of them could sit on one side.

Even if the national army is fought again, and then the country is built, the stars will shine, and it will still be so strong.

And then by that who, that who, didn't play a glass of wine to release the military power, but directly cleaned up.

The Datang scout approached, and the horse was the first to react, but unfortunately, the people on the horse didn't feel the danger and walked slowly there.

'Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Whoosh 'A piece of crossbow arrows passed, shooting people and horses.

A dozen white-clad scouts shouted before their voices stopped, and none of them ran away.

Zhang Xiaosong led people to see the situation and urged the horses, and the sound of horses' hooves became louder.

Once there, the scout got on his horse and followed along.

The big food scouts who were far away next to them didn't care, they didn't have time to react.

Twenty miles, the speed of the horses increased, and when the distance of ten miles was changed, the speed increased again.

When there were still five miles left, the sound of horses' hooves had already reached Dashi's side, and when I heard it, I knew that it was ten thousand horses galloping.

"Ready, the enemy is coming, the Tang cavalry is coming, get on the horse." The white-clothed Dashi understands here, such a loud voice must be the Tang Dynasty cavalry.

In the panic, they got up one after another, looking for their horses, the horses were still eating grass, and the horses were not people, so they sucked a bowl of noodles and went in.

If you eat cold noodles, a bowl of cold noodles can be filled into your stomach in ten seconds, and you don't chew at all.

Horses can't do it, they eat grass, and when they are eating comfortably, they are going to fight.
