The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow is golden.

On the grassy avenue between the mountains, more than a dozen fast horses galloped past, and then suddenly gained a foothold in front of a dead tree.

"You, to the west!"

"You, Northwest!"

"You, Southeast!"

“……”

The leader of the soldiers planted four flags diagonally on their backs, ordered to play, and threw one of the flags on the ground, "Fifty miles back, gather here in half an hour!" ”

Then, more than a dozen horsemen scattered and ran away.

This is a scout of the Southern Song Dynasty army.

The army marched forward, and the scouts went dozens of miles to investigate the situation, which was an indispensable part of fighting in ancient times.

Scouts like this often sent more than ten waves at the same time in the Southern Song army.

The army must be stationed, and must not be too far away from the enemy, otherwise there is a danger of being attacked by the camp.

Time passed slowly, and the half-human-tall black Lingqi stood on the grass, fluttering to himself.

Dozens of minutes later, soldiers returned at a gallop, each covered with dust.

But the scout captain did not return.

As the half-hour deadline drew closer, the scouts had a slight look of anxiety on their faces.

"Commander, will he meet the Yuan army?"

"It's not time yet, don't talk nonsense!"

"That is, the commander of the soldier is blessed with a great life, and he is an old pawn, how can something happen?"

However, as time passed, the anxiety and worry on the faces of the soldiers gradually became stronger.

"The hour has come!"

"Captain, why hasn't he come back yet!"

"What shall we do?"

"Do you want to wait?"

"No, the military order is like a mountain, I'll go back to the camp first!"

"Let's go!"

A group of soldiers looked in the direction where the ten-captain left, their eyes were full of expectation, but they were also helpless.

One of the soldiers took the lead in turning his horse and galloped towards the army behind.

Scouts are extremely dangerous, and he has been in the army for several years, and he has seen many brothers go away without returning.

When the rest of the soldiers saw him turn their horses, they also turned around and left.

Only one soldier remained where he was, still looking at the end of the avenue. The ten-captain was his own brother.

After a few more minutes, the end of the avenue remained empty. Tears flowed from his eyes, dripping down his cheeks, mixed with dust, and had become extremely cloudy before he could hit the ground.

Of the four brothers in his family, three joined the army, he was the third, the second died in the battle of Qiongzhou, and the fourth served his parents at home, and now, the eldest brother seems to be unable to come back.

He turned over and dismounted, slowly pulled up the black flag on the ground, gritted his teeth, and got on his horse again, ready to leave.

This is the sorrow of being born in troubled times, he has no choice, even if he wants to clean up the body of his eldest brother, it is impossible.

At this moment, there was suddenly yellow dust at the end of the avenue.

He watched intently as a fast horse galloped towards him.

"Big brother!"

He shouted excitedly.

However, at the end of the avenue, at this time, countless yellow dust were flying, and dozens of horses were whistling.

Looking at their banners, it is clear that they are the Yuan army.

The ten-captain rode ahead of the ground for dozens of meters and shouted at his younger brother: "Run!" ”

The soldier stood still.

The Captain of the Ten shouted again: "Run! Report to the general, there are ambushes thirty miles ahead! The number of people is unknown! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell off his horse.

On his back, there were two bright arrows, and the feathers of the arrows were still trembling.

"Big brother!"

The soldier shouted.

The Tenth Captain was not dead, he raised his head and waved his hand, "Hurry up and ...... away"

The Yuan army caught up, and several spears stabbed him through in an instant.

"Big brother!"

The soldier screamed again, quickly turned his horse, turned around and galloped.

The scenery in front of me seems to be a little blurry.

It was tears that wet my eyes.

The death of his brother in front of his eyes made him even more sad than if his brother did not come back. If his brother doesn't come back, at least he still has some hope in his heart.

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

The Yuan army behind was still galloping after him, unwilling to let him go.

The soldier felt as if the spears were on his back, and he kept whipping his horse and letting the tears flow.

If the eldest brother finds out about the enemy, he must go back and report it to the commander.

Two yellow dusts disappeared in an instant.

The sun sank lower and lower, as if hanging over the tip of the low mountain in the distance.

The soldier looked at it and suddenly remembered that the baked cakes made by his mother were also golden and delicious.

When he was young, his two elder brothers always robbed him, but now, no one in the family fights with his younger brother, right?

It wasn't until the sunset that there was only a glimmer of afterglow left, and an army of black pressure finally appeared in front of him. This army is like a dark cloud in the sky.

Dozens of meters behind, the Yuan soldiers stopped one after another, only looked at them twice, and then hurriedly turned around and galloped away.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

The soldiers rushed straight into the middle of the army, holding black flags and shouting incessantly.

There were several marks on his face, as if an earthworm had crawled over them, and they were left behind by tears running down and wiping away the dust.

When he arrived at the forbidden army formation in front of the palace, the soldiers rushed to the centurion and rolled down from his horse, "Commander, there is an ambush of the Yuan army forty miles in the north, and the number is unknown. ”

The centurion saw that he was covered in dust and dragged him up from the ground, "What about your brother?" ”

The soldier gritted his teeth and said, "The eldest brother was killed by the Yuan army. ”

The centurion was stunned, "You brothers, have you been with me for more than three years......"

As he spoke, he patted the soldier on the shoulder, "You go and rest first, I will let the brothers kill a few more Yuan soldiers on the battlefield to avenge your brother." ”

The soldier nodded, leading the horse away.

Running back to the army from the wilderness forty miles away, his tears were dry.

"The old brother back then, now there are only you and I left......"

The centurion looked at his departing back, sighed in a voice that only he could hear, then turned on his horse and ran towards the front of the formation.

Until the front of Su Quandang, he dismounted and said: "General, there is an ambush of the Yuan army forty miles north, and the number is unknown. ”

"Hmm."

Su Quandang nodded lightly, gave a few words to the pro-soldiers next to him, and the pro-soldiers galloped towards the Chinese army to guard the pro-army formation.

In such a short period of time, several waves have run in front of Zhao Dongting's chariot.

They told the Wyvern soldiers outside the chariot about what they had discovered, and the Wyvern soldiers ran to the chariot to report inside.

As for the ten-captain who died in battle, his death could not even be heard in the ears of the thousand-commander. It would only be reported by the centurion to the soldier in charge of the roster, and the soldier would cross his name on it.

In the chariot, Zhao Dongting sat in the middle, Qin Han sat on the right side, and Le Wuyuan sat on the left side of Zhao Dongting with a sword, about two steps away.

Zhao Dongting heard the report outside, looked at Qin Han, and said, "There have been three waves of spies to detect that there are ambushes in the canyon ahead. ”

At this time, it was the tenth day of their departure from Haikang County.

Now the army has reached the territory of Tengzhou.

In Guangxi, the military horses of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan army are intricately intertwined, and it is difficult to know each other's movements.

Qin Han said: "The front is the only place to lead to Ruizhou, presumably Ali Hague has already learned the news that we are leading the army to come." ”

Zhao Dongting said: "Then camp here, tomorrow the army will be killed, and their ambush will be broken." ”

Now there are thirty-four grenadiers in the army, but Zhao Dongting is not afraid of ambushes, just use grenadiers or arrow arrays to open the way.

"Okay."

Qin Han nodded indifferently.

He was still wearing sackcloth, sitting in the chariot, and holding the military book in his hand at all times.

Zhao Dongting saw him nodding and shouted outward: "Order, the army will camp on the spot!" ”

An answer was heard outside.

Soon, the command flag waved on the tall women's chariot, and the flags of the commanders of the three armies also waved, and the army spread out in all directions.

The soldiers set up camp, and the cooks cooked, and got busy.

Zhao Dongting sat in the chariot, lowered his head, and continued to ponder the military book in his hand.

These days, following Qin Han and asking Qin Han about some things he doesn't understand, it really makes him grow a lot.

It turns out that marching and fighting is not just a simple battle between two armies.

Even, marching and fighting in ancient times was much more cumbersome than in modern times. Take this espionage intelligence as an example, I don't know how many times more troublesome it will be.

The aroma of rice gradually wafted in a radius of more than ten miles.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu brought the food into the chariot, but it was just simple white rice and green vegetables.

When Zhao Dongting set out, he told them that he would eat and live with the soldiers to set an example.

In fact, this kind of food in the Southern Song Dynasty army was already the top in this era, and even many families couldn't even eat enough.

White rice is green vegetables, which is already a rare food in troubled times, and it is even more luxurious in the army.

That is, Zhao Dongting invented the grain truck, and the grain and grass were sufficient, so he had the confidence to use such food, that is, the Yuan army, which occupied most of the Yanhuang land, had a lot of land and resources, and most of the army was just gruel and vegetables.

In ancient times, when marching and fighting, logistical supply was too difficult.

After a while, it suddenly got dark, and it was impossible to figure out when it was dark.

Bonfires were lit around the barracks.

On the hills and meadows in the distance, some soldiers lay quietly on their stomachs, only their heads exposed.
