crisis
The bright moon was no longer visible, and the night at this moment was the darkest and deepest time, and there was silence between the heavens and the earth, except for a few desolate wolf howls occasionally.
The lights in the cavalry camp were bright, and a team of tiger soldiers in front of the tent in excellent armor looked extremely vigilant, guarding the big tent in the cavalry camp in light and dark.
Azule's face was calm, and he carefully looked at the land and map of Hanzhou hanging on the wooden table, his slender fingers rubbing quietly on the sheepskin map, and his eyes slowly passed in contemplation.
"According to the plan, Adamu and they should be at the Tianque Grassland at this moment. I don't know what the situation of the war is like, whether this line is going well. ”
Chu Qiu'er stood in front of the lamp with his hands bowed, leaned forward, and replied respectfully.
"The prince of the world is relieved for the time being, presumably this trip is still smooth, there are Shuoyang's 10,000 iron floating slaughter, which miscellaneous fish in Helan can't afford to stir up any big wind and waves! At this moment, it must have been taken. The old slave sent out a whole crow fence to keep an eye on it, and if there was any trouble, it could be reported very quickly. ”
Hearing this, Azule nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more, just glanced at the sky outside the tent and sighed.
"At such a weak age, the prince has already led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, and it is rare to be able to march in an orderly manner, but the things on the battlefield are steep and changeable, and they are not manpower, so there is really no need to work so hard."
Chu Qiu'er glanced at Asule, who was slightly nervous, and a touch of pity appeared on his face, and he stepped forward to tighten the fox fur that Azule was wearing, and comforted him in a low voice.
Azule turned his head sideways and looked at the old slave beside him, his heart warmed, and his body gradually slowed down and leaned back on the chair, and said with a bitter smile.
"Having said that, but you also know how many pairs of eyes are staring at our master and servant outside, not to mention that the Shuofeng Department is also looking at the entire grassland, and if I take a wrong step, it will be a catastrophe, and when I think of this kind of important matter related to Guozuo is now in my hands, how can I put my mind down and not think so much."
Azule slowly spit out the worries that had accumulated in his heart, and after saying it, he also felt a little happy in his heart, and he could only say these words to this old slave who had been with him for many years.
"Presumably, the prince and the military lord all believe in the prince and make this decision, so why should the prince be arrogant. The old slave only knows that no matter what happens, even if he confesses the fat of the old slave, he will never let the son of the world hurt a single hair. ”
Chu Qiu'er looked at this child who had grown up with soft eyes, and said in a sonorous and firm tone.
Azule paced slowly in the tent, and when he heard this, he also smiled warmly, turned around and patted Chu Qiu'er on the shoulder, and said solemnly.
"You are not allowed to die!"
"In terms of time, the armies under the command of the prince are almost within the territory of the Helan Ministry, and this should be near the Yunmeng Plain under the jurisdiction of the Helan Ministry.
Ulo, Qiulin, I'm afraid they should have just arrived near Snow City, and it is estimated that it will take a while to cross the Snow Plains.
I don't know where He Shu and the two of the Six Khans have arrived, and it will take a few days to sweep the small grasslands in Helan Department.
We rested here until dawn, and then immediately set off for the frontal battlefield to join the army of the prince. Duda turned his head to discuss with the two, and his expression couldn't help but be a little worried.
"If this battle is successful, then my Shuofeng Department can really stand alone in Hanzhou. The rest of these forces are just a piece of cake, and we can destroy them with a flip.
Don't worry, this battle is absolutely secure, and the Helan Department can't afford to make much waves when our Shuofeng Department has all the means. Bayan's face was calm, his eyes showed strong confidence, and his words were mixed with domineering.
"Okay, let's rest the boys. After killing for one night, the sheep who killed for one night are tired, not to mention that they are also some lively people, and the bodies of the sons and daughters are almost unable to hold even if they are beaten with iron. Adam looked at the messy battlefield and said slowly.
"Tell the whole army to rest, and after dawn, rush to the frontal battlefield!"
"Yes, Dashuai!"
The Shuofeng cavalry, which was originally holding its body, received the order for the whole army to rest, and then vomited the breath in his chest and sat down on the ground, and the logistics army hurriedly burned the fire and laid the stove, and opened the big tent to prepare for the cavalry to rest.
As soon as the sky in the distance was bright, a cavalry army had already arrived near the border of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Helan Ministry.
"Boss, we have rushed to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Helan Ministry, should we go forward to attack those small groups of Helan cavalry or wait for the army of the commander of the left commander behind." A crow fence, stepped forward and dismounted to report.
Wa Yan sniffed the fragrant air on the grassland in the early morning and was intoxicated, this air was sweet and sweet, and he felt that the fatigue of the whole body after driving all night was reduced by more than half.
Looking at the territory of the Helan Department in front of him, he waved his horsewhip and pointed forward, turned his head and shouted at the cavalry led behind him:
"Since we have already arrived here, how can we stop here, we will move forward, try the depth of these Helan cavalry, clear an unimpeded route for the Commander Zuo and the prince behind us, and let the prince see how powerful the trapping army under my command is!"
"Boss, but the order of the prince of the world is for us to establish a safe route after arriving at the territory under the jurisdiction of the Helan Ministry, wait for the arrival of the great commander of Zuo, and then join the prince." Mo Ze drove forward and approached Wayan, and said in a quickened tone.
"Mo Ze, we have all arrived here in Yunmeng Township, and further forward is the real Helan Tianyan Prairie, how can we cower and dare not move forward. Wouldn't this make the people of Helan look down on us?
If you think about it again, the other commanders have Helan barbarians to kill, are you and I willing to explore only one way for the prince, didn't the commander explain to us to pull out some of the subordinate small tribes of the Helan Department before leaving!.
If these people in Adamu knew that we came and no one was slaughtered, wouldn't they be laughed to death?
Lao Tzu didn't want to suffer from their wretchedness. You say yes or no. ”
Wa Yan seemed to think of Adam proudly showing how many Helan barbarians he had killed, and he couldn't help but feel angry for a while, and said in a low voice.
"However, it's hard to explain to the prince. Moreover, we only have 50,000 strength, and if we are detected by the large cavalry of the Helan Department and surround us, then we will be more than lucky. Su Mo looked hesitant and said for a long time.
"Ah, our luck won't be so bad, we don't go deep, we only sweep on this side of the border, you don't want your mother-in-law, that's it." Wa Yan waved his hand and said indifferently.
Seeing this, Mo Ze had no choice but to give up, and could only secretly pray not to encounter a large force of Helan cavalry.
Everyone set off in a mighty manner, rushing forward to sweep the Helan barbarians and those small grasslands on the border.
"This is the first cavalry of the small grassland of the Helan Department that we have cleared after bypassing Daze." He Qu pulled the horse rope, looked at the messy small pasture in front of him, squinted his eyes, and spoke.
"Report to the boss, this is the fifth small grassland of the Helan Department that we have exterminated after bypassing Daze Mountain, and this is already the periphery of the jurisdiction east of the Helan Department." When a crow heard the question, he leaned forward and replied.
He Qu raised his head and looked at the sky, the sun was already in the middle, and before he knew it, it was almost noon.
"After resting for a while, and having eaten dry food, we set out from here to the west, and swept all the way through to destroy the garrisons of the little pastures along the road. Press before dark and meet the six sweats. ”
"Yes, Boss."
The sun overhead is getting hotter and hotter, and these days are the last residual heat of summer in Hanzhou.
Azule looked at the vast and quiet grassland in front of him, stretched his waist comfortably, sighed, turned his head and said to the people behind him: "It is really a waste that such a fat Tianyan grassland has been controlled by the Helan Ministry for a long time, why do you say that the territory under the jurisdiction of our Shuofeng Department is so poor, it is really the heavens favor the Helan Department." ”
"Helan is located in the north of Hanzhou, the climate is warm and suitable, but we live in the bitterly cold west of Hanzhou, of course, there is no Helan Department such a unique geographical conditions.
However, they have such favorable conditions, but they still can't dominate Hanzhou, and they only shrink into a corner, which is indeed a waste. ”
Tie Fa behind him nodded approvingly, and agreed with a steady face.
"Anyone who lives in such warm conditions for a long time will be slack, but the wild wolves on the grassland will slowly be fed into domestic animals for a long time.
A wild wolf, who has worn away his arrogant temperament and smoothed out his sharp claws, is the difference between it and the rabbit on the grassland.
We, Helian Ministry, want to be wolves, and would rather die than be domestic animals, otherwise sooner or later we will become similar to Helan Ministry.
and then slowly become like those weak Donglu people.
We have to cross the boundless sea to regain the glory we once lost in Middle-earth, how can we wear off our sharpness and fall here. ”
Azule said lightly as he drove his horse, but his tone was slightly heavier when he talked about Donglu, with a hint of strong longing.
"Obey the teachings of the Son, and the end will never forget." Everyone behind him bowed down in unison.
"Hahaha, it's far away, we still slaughtered the already old lion of Helan first, and we are qualified to do those things that we have always wanted to do but have not done, the road has to be taken step by step, and the meal still has to be eaten one bite at a time, and we can't rush it.
Hahaha, but I'm afraid that the Tianque Grassland is already ours, and the Helan thief is already furious when he knows the news.
The whole army hastened to the road, and before sunset, I will see the territory of the Helan tribe. The corners of Azul's mouth turned upwards and he laughed wildly.
Helan Department, Wang Qi Big Tent.
"What, what do you say, the Tianque Grassland is lost. At night, they were raided, and tens of thousands of Helan cavalry were raided and killed, and Kemo died.
And Mu Ye, who rushed to support, led tens of thousands of Helan cavalry troops by Tiefu Tu, and Mu Ye died unknown?
Wine bag rice bag! Are they all a bunch of waste, in just one night, they buried my nearly 100,000 Helan iron horses in the purple jade grassland. You don't have to think about it to know where Kino also lost his life.
The two cavalry commanders were both dead, dead or dead, two wine bags and rice bags, all the fucking 100,000 cavalry should be buried, and I also told these fools in advance to let them pay attention to the surprise attack of the Shuofeng Division.
I said, did they feed the dogs the news I passed down? None of the damn shit listened. What a damn thing! My Helan Iron Rider! ”
The prince of Helan listened to the report of the spy who fled back, pinched the spies' neck angrily, his expression was grim, the corners of his eyebrows were beating, and he gritted his teeth and said viciously word by word.
A pair of eyes were full of cold killing intent, and he had no doubt that if these two people were in front of him, he would directly let people drag them out and dismantle them to vent the monstrous anger in his heart.
Reaching out and throwing away the spies whose eyes were white and out of breath, he turned back to the throne.
"Order, let all the troops stationed outside withdraw, guard against the enemy's surprise attack, and scatter all the spies out to me. Pay close attention to the movements of the cavalry of the Shuofeng Division, and report it as soon as there is news.
I'm stuck to their range.
The whole clan has entered the highest state of war alert, and all the ministries should be mobilized by me, this time the Shuofeng Department has a lot of appetite this time, and Lao Tzu will let them know that if they bite the wrong thing, they will break their teeth. ”
The Grand Monarch of Helan Department, rubbing his brows, his face gloomy, opened his mouth.
"Yes, Maharaja" one of them hurriedly turned around and went out to convey the Maharaja's order.
The whining sound of the war horn hovered high in the sky of the Helan tribe, making the unsuspecting clansmen of the Helan tribe panic for a while, not knowing what was happening.
By night, it was getting dark. A large group of horsemen were eating dry food around the campfire, and after feeding the horses, they sat down on the ground to rest, relieving their tired bodies from a day's riding.
"Mo Ze, we have already swept four grasslands this afternoon, and the results are very rich, hahaha, the next time I see Adam, I will definitely taunt him, maybe he is not as good as us."
You say no, Moze. Wa Yan smiled all over his face, turned his head triumphantly and said to Mo Ze, who was sitting on the ground next to him.
Mo Ze had no choice but to smile bitterly and say yes, coping with the boss's boasting, there was an unconcealable worry on his face, where is this the border under the jurisdiction of the Helan Ministry, this is clearly far away from the border.
Along the way, the boss beside him killed and killed, but he didn't care about his position at all, in order to exterminate the Helan cavalry who were fleeing in all directions, he didn't know how many miles he was led forward.
I'm afraid that this neighborhood is almost close to the outer territories of the Helan Ministry, and now I can only pray that the spies from the big tent of the Helan Ministry have not detected the movements nearby, otherwise there may be branches, and I and the others will be surrounded by Helan cavalry on a large scale.
Mo Ze sat aside and thought secretly. Looking at the bonfire in front of me, I fell into deep thought.
"How many miles are there in front of you from that surging Shuofeng cavalry?"
"Report to your lord, it's not five miles away, we have spies over there who are watching them, and they will definitely not let them go, this time they can't fly."
"This Shuofeng cavalry really ate the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and ran to the hinterland of my Helan Department to clear the grassland of my Helan Department, and after winning it, they didn't even run away, and they dared to swagger around the hinterland of my Helan Department to rest.
I really didn't take my Helan cavalry in my eyes, this time I just took revenge on the Tianque grassland, and it was really timely, but it was really happy! ”
A large group of Helan cavalry rushed on the way to the resting station of Wayan and others, nearly 100,000 of them, and the one at the head had a cold expression, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly.
"Our spies spotted them this afternoon, and we have been following them secretly since they raided our small pasture.
But it was not too close, in case they found out, and at the first time, I asked people to quickly report the news to the adults, waiting for the adults to lead the army to strangle them. ”
The spy followed, and said eagerly, that the monstrous merit was at hand, and that it was within reach.
The people who were resting in the Shuofeng Department were unaware of the danger that was coming.
Mo Ze, who was full of worries, could not sleep, walked out of the tent, looked at the dark night, and felt faintly uneasy, this location was too dangerous.
I can't take such a big risk by myself and others, but I can't persuade that self-righteous tile rock, which makes people in a dilemma.
"Someone," Mo Ze shouted, turning his head.
"Yes, sir." A guard stepped forward and replied.
"Send our spies out and let them go to a place a mile outside the station to reconnoitre, every three hours, and patrol all night long, and they must not slack off."
"Yes, sir." Although the guard was confused, he leaned over and turned to go down to make arrangements.
Mo Ze turned around and thought to himself, he just wanted to spend tonight safely, and urged Buze to leave here early tomorrow morning, just hoping that nothing big would happen this night.
The sky outside the tent is full of stars, and the moonlight is faint, making it a good weather in late summer.
The air could still smell the aftertaste of the campfire from hours earlier, and Mo Ze had just paced back into his tent, slowly sitting on a chair in the big tent, his body stiff.
His eyes stared directly at the flag that was slowly blown by the wind, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. With one hand on his face, his heart became more and more unwavering, without the slightest ripple.
Years of conquest have cultivated him this kind of mind, as long as he feels that there is something undecided in his heart, his mind becomes more and more calm, like a deep pool, and the bottom is gone.
Mo Ze looked up at the big tent of Wayan who was resting on the side, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head and muttered, "My heart is really big." ”
The two of them didn't know that less than a dozen miles away from them, there were nearly 100,000 Helan cavalry troops rushing towards this small group of Shuofeng cavalry that was deep in the starry night.
The venomous snake lurking in the shadows has spat out a blood-red snake core, revealing its sharp fangs, ready to strike a fatal blow to the sleeping people.
The sky in the distance just released a glimmer of light, which was undoubtedly a bright dawn for Mo Ze, who had been sitting in the tent all night, looking at a glimmer of light in the sky.
Mo Ze hurriedly got up, ignoring his sore body, which had not moved for a long time, slowly got up and walked out of the tent, secretly thinking that he could finally leave here as a whole army.
At this moment, I saw a cavalry soldier coming from outside the camp in a panic, the armor on his body was also messy, and the war horse under him was also injured a lot, and it was a fluke to be able to insist on returning to the camp.
Mo Ze's brows suddenly jumped, and his entire heart also contracted violently, the blood in his whole body seemed to be stagnant, and the air became thin and suffocating.
"My lord! My lord! Enemy attack! There are enemy troops! ”
The scout rolled off his horse and lay on the ground yelling, hoarse.
