Ma Tiancheng and Zhuang Shun, with the cavalry and the carriage, went all the way to Hangzhou. But the carriage was not fast, and the road conditions were not familiar, so the overall action was not fast.

Ma Tiancheng secretly called it a fluke, but fortunately he made a quick decision and took the cavalry directly on the road instead, and ordered the forbidden army to close the road. Even if his team is not moving fast now, if the Nanchang pursuers want to chase, I am afraid that it will be too late.

Ma Tiancheng had already found out that the Nanchang Xiang Army and the militia had no horses, only the scouts of Jinyiwei had dozens of horses. But the Jinyi scouts are scattered all over the place, how can it be so easy to get together? Even if they caught up, Jinyiwei did not dare to fight with the forbidden army.

Ma Tiancheng finally calculated a breath of depression! In this operation, my Ma Tiancheng can be said to have a last resort! A group of Nanchang officials, two Qincha, were all tricked by me! Hum! For this reason, I am not afraid that you Jiangnan Shilin will attack it, and I will explain to the court and the emperor that this is your waiting, taking revenge for personal gain! Gang up and attack!

Ma Tiancheng made thousands of calculations, but missed a single thing. Why should the army be commanded by a professional general? Just because the army travels, it has its own rules, called, the art of war!

When the army travels, whether it is rushing or slow, there will be scouts in front and behind! The terrain, the flowing water, where to camp, where to ambush, etc., must be scouted in front of the scouts!

Ma Tiancheng didn't understand.

The forbidden army has not fought for many years, and Baihu Zhuang Shun is a junior military attaché, and he has never led troops to fight independently.

Plus Nanchang to Hangzhou, Dahua Jiangnan, there can be no foreign enemies. Brigand? Maybe there is, but because the forbidden army is well treated and equipped, even the imperial court and the forbidden army can't look down on it! And what about bandits? Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, which refers to the forbidden army and the like who came out of the capital!

Therefore, these two people took the cavalry, identified the direction, and went to Hangzhou in a swarm. As long as you rush to Hangzhou as soon as possible and get on the boat, you will have a complete merit.

As for the agreement with Qincha to get together for dozens of miles, wash and sleep. I've played you all together, I'm still waiting for you? Silly or not?

Zhuang Shun rode in front, raised his hand, and the team slowly slowed down. Ma Tiancheng rubbed his waist, clamped his calf on the horse's belly, and caught up with Zhuang Shun: "What's the matter?" ”

"The horses need to rest." Zhuang Shun pointed to the front: "We have been running for half a day, it should be safe, cross the hillside in front, and find a place with a water source to set up camp." ”

The group walked slowly, and with good luck, just after crossing the hillside, they saw a small stream. Ma Tiancheng said happily: "This time it is so smooth, it seems that God has eyes and has been taking care of me!" General Zhuang, please see, can you camp here? ”

"The terrain here is open, and it is upwind, and there is a water source, so it is really a good place to camp." The basic camping rules are still known to 100 households.

But he only knows the basic rules. Fifty cavalrymen and more than ten tents, like stars and moons, surrounded the tent of the main Qincha and the tent of the three maidens in the center. There were no trenches, no horses, no nails, no spikes, no barriers.

This is not to blame them, most of the forbidden army are the children of large families and meritorious families in the capital. It belongs to the rich soldiers. Usually arrogant, although the equipment is the best in the country, but it is rarely used.

And this time, he set off ahead of schedule with Master Qinchama, and he walked in a hurry, and he didn't bring tools, horses, nails, or thorns. But it doesn't matter, the night watch sergeant should be on alert.

As for this time, it is time to seize the time and be happy, Master Ma is not a general with troops, and the management is not strict. He sympathized with everyone's hard work, lit a bonfire, and invited the three girls to sing songs for everyone, but he couldn't brush off the kindness of the adults.

Laughter and laughter are mixed with all kinds of slang and foul language, and this team of people is as comfortable as the children of a rich family who come out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

These three girls were originally engaged in the leather and meat business, so they were naturally very generous. It was rare to encounter the stars holding the moon again, and even sang a few obscene poems, pushing the bonfire party to a climax again and again.

As the night wore on, the evening ended. The three girls did not live in separate tents, but with Lord Chinchama. This is a court squire, a member of the third grade, if you serve it well, you may be able to have some benefits in the future.

In the wilderness, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission has no chance to choose others, and having these three to serve together has already made others envious.

The two teams of sergeants on the night patrol were supposed to patrol the perimeter of the tent, but these two teams of men and horses had to walk around the tent from the middle of the tent every time, just to hear the soft voice inside.

Dahua tents are not soundproofed.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the moon is in the sky. The entire tent area was in a faint silver light.

The patrol sergeant was a little tired, and he was a little tired from the bonfire party just now, roaring and screaming. Later, I heard that the tent was sent by the Qin, but the adults were incompetent, so they only walked two laps and then died down. The feeling is over before it even begins.

There was no element to stimulate the sergeant's sobriety, and everyone became more and more tired, barely cheered up, and walked around the tent in a circle. Number One

At the end of the ugly time, it is the time when the human spirit is the most tired and weak. On the hillside, countless black shadows appeared, slowly squirming on the ground, crawling towards the tent.

With the help of the grass, the dark shadow will speed up when the night patrol team turns their backs to them.

The two teams of sergeants who patrolled the night finally stayed up to the shift. The new night patrol sergeant, after all, had slept for a while, and his eyes were much better than the team just now. A sergeant suddenly felt that a few shadows not far ahead were a little strange, the tree was not like a tree, and the grass was not like grass. It seems, it's still moving. The forbidden army is well-fed, and his eyes are generally passable. The sergeant pulled at his companion and pointed at the shadow. In the moonlight, this finger movement is exceptionally clear! Several black shadows suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the night patrol sergeant!

The sergeant was startled and was about to ask, when a large black shadow stood up in front of him, and the forbidden army also reacted quickly, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "Bandits, thieves!" ”

"Raid the camp! Raid the camp! ”

The voice of the Praetorian sergeant rang out in vain in the night sky. The tent suddenly boiled like boiling water, shouting everywhere, and some sergeants in protective robes rushed out to check it.

I saw that in all directions, countless black shadows rushed forward, and shouted together: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! “

The forbidden army was suddenly in chaos, only the night patrol sergeant was fully armed, and as soon as he came into contact with the black shadow, a large group of black shadows pounced, and in the firelight, the sword flashed brightly. In the midst of a few shouts, both teams of night patrol sergeants fell in pools of blood.

The other sergeants of the forbidden army were still wearing clothes and armor looking for weapons, and the black shadows rushed to the camp tent!

Immediately, some people screamed, some people shouted for help, some people cried and begged for mercy, blood was spraying everywhere, shouting killing on all sides, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger in the air, and tents began to whirring and burning.

If the cavalry of the forbidden army is fully armed, it will fight the thieves in a dignified manner. These fifty cavalrymen can charge and kill a few back and forth even in the face of hundreds of bandits! But at this time, his clothes and pants are not neatly dressed, how can he fight with the bandits?

A moment ago, they were the majestic cavalry of the forbidden army, but now they are naked lambs to be slaughtered.

......

The next day, the two messengers, Zhao Fengshan, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, and Li Jin, the inner servant, moved from Nanchang to the forbidden army garrison outside the city, where they had a farewell ceremony with the Nanchang officials.

But because of Ma Tiancheng's incident, everyone seems to be worried. The ceremony was hurried. The two Qincha said goodbye to the Nanchang officials hastily, and then embarked on the road back to Beijing and rushed to the dozens of miles ahead of the appointment with Ma Tiancheng.

Although Zhao Fengshan guessed that Ma Tiancheng would not keep the appointment and wait, he did not see Ma Tiancheng at the agreed place, and he was still a little anxious.

Zhao Fengshan could only order Qianhu Jiang Fang to advance as soon as possible on the premise of ensuring a safe march. Hope to catch up with Ma Tiancheng in front.

The deputy envoy left the team without authorization, and there was nothing to be done.

Ma Tiancheng did leave the team without authorization, and the forbidden army found Ma Tiancheng a hundred miles away from Nanchang! He lay naked on the ground, his eyes wide open and his face full of fear.

Around him, on a large slope, there were corpses of forbidden soldiers. All of them were covered in scars, bloodstained, and stripped naked. More than a dozen tents had burned to ashes, and the smell of blood was in the air.

Some of the Praetorian Sergeants couldn't help but start vomiting on the spot.

Zhao Fengshan looked at the tragic situation in front of him, his lips trembled, and his eyes were red. The waiter Li Jin, his face was pale, and he thought that the three of them came together, but when he went back, he was two people and one corpse, and he sighed in his heart.

Jiang Fang instructed his subordinates to inspect the wounds, register them one by one, and collect the corpses for cremation and bring the ashes back. Today, he must not be able to move forward, so he commanded people to find a place to camp at the uphill outlet.

There are many rules for the command of thousands of households to set up camp, trenches, rejection of horses, iron nails, iron thorns, dark ditches, and wooden tips under the dark ditch. Safe passage for horse charges, scouts, patrols, sentry. Everything but the kitchen sink.

Jiang Fang ordered the whole army, rest tonight, the soldiers will not disarm, and the horses will not unsaddle! If you want to take a break, you should also make sure that you are safe, and it is a big deal to travel less every day.

At night, the forbidden army erected piles of wooden shelves, and corpses were placed on them. Nearly 1,000 soldiers gathered around, bowing their heads to mourn their siblings and see off their robes.

In the darkness, a fire rose into the air. The soul is divided, and the rest of the people are sad.

Right and wrong grievances go with the wind, and the world is insignificant. Ladies and gentlemen, you have a good journey......
