Next to him, Ling Han quietly glanced at Liu Fan.

"That...... Mr. Li, if you go by horse-drawn carriage, how much time will it take? ”

"It may take at least four days to take the carriage, but although my father said that it is a bit urgent, I estimate that as long as I arrive two days in advance, then let Han'er go with the two of you."

Although Li Shouyi was still in a flat tone, Ling Han, who was sitting in the back with Li Min, had already lowered his head in shame.

This night, Liu Fan slept very unsteadily, all kinds of dreams came one after another, and it was a bloody battle for a while, and he, Dong Zi, and Uncle Su were covered with blood all over their faces; After a while, Ling Han was kidnapped by several masked men, and he wanted to catch up, but he couldn't move his hands and feet; The last time was when a bottomless black vortex appeared around him, the black made people breathless, the black made people desperate, and he was falling endlessly towards the center of this black vortex, his hands tried to desperately grasp something, but he couldn't do anything at all, he could only let out a helpless shout......

"Brother, what's wrong with you, you don't sleep but yell, and you wake me up."

Liu Fan ignored Dong Zi's question, sat up slowly, and saw from the gap in the military tent that the sky in the east had shone slightly, and it was estimated that the hour was already around the middle of the day, and he said after a while, "You bring a sentry with me today, and I'll go and tell the chief manager." ”

At two o'clock, Liu Fan, Li Min, Ling Han and Dong Zi left the brigade with more than 100 personal soldiers and a sentry cavalry team and set off in advance.

On this day, because they were all cavalry, although there was a carriage in the middle, it was still much faster than the previous ten days of walking, and when it was dark, it had gone out for nearly two hundred miles, and by noon on the second day, the mountains on both sides gradually eased down, and there were more large fields on both sides of the official road, because it was the middle of winter, it was difficult to see a trace of green in the fields, and the eyes were full of stubble left after the harvest of rice and corn, and villages covered by dense trees appeared from time to time in the large fields, but even so, It was also much more comfortable to walk in the barren mountains and valleys a few days ago. Liu Fan thought in his heart, "Maybe my party has already passed the Baoji of the later generations and entered the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan." ”

There are also obviously more pedestrians on the official road, there are old farmers who rush back to their hometowns, and hawkers who go to the countryside to visit households, but more are merchants who come from south to north, because the weather is clear, and they have entered the territory of Fengxiang Mansion at this time, the temperature is much warmer than that of Liangzhou, and even Li Min and Ling Han also rolled up the curtains, and enjoyed the scenery of the fields while walking.

It was not until about the beginning of the afternoon that the weather gradually became gloomy, and the large fields were replaced by the low mountains on both sides, and the wind from the mountains carried a cold and damp smell to the soldiers' armor, and walked through a ridge, at the foot of which was a small valley, the valley was lush with vegetation, and there were piles of firewood that had been cut on both sides of the official road, and there were two small peaks in front of the road less than three miles away, and the official road meandered upwards from the middle of the peaks, and the two peaks were just like gods guarding the official road.

At the current marching speed, it would only take at most half a column of incense to walk through these two peaks.

Liu Fan accompanied the carriage, and Li Min and Ling Han enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the valley, the scenery in the valley is beautiful, the mountains on both sides are covered with lush primeval forests, the south is parallel to the official road is a small stream, and finally you can't see where it flows, the valley is sparsely populated, as far as the eye can see, there are three or five families sparsely located under the slope of the mountain in the north, Liu Fan suddenly thought of the valley where Master Jin's Zhang Wuji practiced the Jiuyang True Scripture in the Kunlun Mountains, and the war with the Khitans was over, Living in seclusion with Ling Han in such a beautiful valley and living a life of husband and wife may be the greatest blessing in life.

My mind was thinking wildly, and the voices of two young girls praising the valley kept coming to my ears. ”

Dong Zi's abrupt voice suddenly came from the side, "Brother, look ahead!" Liu Fan raised his head, and saw two fast-moving black dots appear on the official road between the two peaks in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, everyone could see that it was two passengers dressed as gentlemen riding to the front of the team, and Hai Xiancun, who was in charge of guarding in front, saw that it was two white-faced scholars, so he let down his vigilance and shouted to the back, "Let go, let these two sons go first." ”

said casually, "The two scholars rode quite fast, I don't know how to read?" ”

Seeing Liu Fan's majestic and neat team, the two seemed to be a little frightened, and slipped forward along the edge of the official road with a cower, while looking curiously at this group of more than 200 people.

Liu Fan stopped and observed the appearance of these two people, until the other party disappeared at a turn in the back of the team, and a flash of inspiration instantly surged into his heart.

"Not good, there is an ambush!" Liu Fan immediately shouted.

"Dong Zi, you lead the cavalry sentry in front, Ma Qiang leads the guards to break off, Xiaohai and I are in the middle, and immediately rush to !! for me"

Since these more than 200 people are all steel warriors who have been trained by the devil in the Liangzhou University Yard, although Liu Fan was a little ignorant when he issued the order, but more than two months of hard training have also cultivated the absolute obedience and seamless connection of these soldiers to carry out orders, and even regard orders as an indispensable part of life like eating and sleeping.

In just a moment after Liu Fan finished giving the order, the team of more than 200 people had already been organized, and under the leadership of Dong Zi, they began to charge forward rapidly.

Li Min and Ling Han saw Liu Fan's solemn face, and at the same time asked nervously, "Liu Fan (Brother Liu), what's wrong, are there still bandits here who want to rob us?" ”

"Maybe not bandits, but I hope I'm wrong, and then we'll think of it as a charge drill. Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, with these two hundred cavalry trained with iron and blood, as long as you rush through this mountain pass, you will be safe. ”

But Murphy's Law tells us that if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the probability is, it will happen, and luck is just a kind of psychological comfort for oneself, and it can't stop bad things from happening at all.

Seeing that the front team led by Dong Zi was less than 100 steps away from the mountain pass, a horn suddenly sounded at the rear of the team.

With the loud horn sounding, from the ridge behind the team and the two peaks in front of the dense rockets flew like meteors to the middle of the valley, the valley suddenly ignited a raging fire, fortunately Liu Fan reacted quickly, and issued an order in time to charge forward, most of the rockets shot from the rear fell in the middle of the valley, that is, many of the arrow rain in front also fell behind the team, and the team of more than 200 people was surrounded by arrow rain and fire in time.

Despite this, there were still sporadic rockets falling in the middle of the ranks, but all the soldiers were not moved at all, and the speed of the impact did not weaken, and it was only at this time that the situation of the world's strongest soldiers achieved in the war with the Khitans and two months of iron-blooded training really appeared.

In an instant, the front team led by Dong Zi had already slammed a heavy hammer into the dense unknown team of the mountain pass.

The original plan of this team to sneak attack was to be covered with arrows in the front and rear and surrounded by fire, and when the fire was almost burned, the cavalry would be dispatched from the front and rear directions to charge and flank the attack.

But the plan never changed quickly, and the designed archers were to shoot at least five rockets each, and then ordered the cavalry to charge according to the situation in the valley, but unexpectedly, after many people only fired two arrows, the enemy rushed up.

"Oh, how can you fight like this, my five arrows haven't been shot yet! Can you come up a little slower, can you keep the rules? Rushing into our cavalry at once, will these remaining three arrows shoot or not? ”

For the unknown team lurking on the two hills in front of the official road, the situation is so embarrassing, the cavalry rushing into the cavalry team ready to go, like a tiger entering the flock, the stationary side is basically at the disadvantage of being slaughtered, and these old soldiers from the capital encountered a hundred battles in the northwest camp of the Great Qi, and they could not stand shoulder to shoulder with the other party in terms of combat power.
