Chapter 363: Heading South (72)

On the ice field, a team of township soldiers surrounded several Heng'an armored horsemen and came back.

After a hard night of patrolling, the group relaxed, just talking and laughing.

After charging out in the snow all night, these people all had white eyebrows, blue faces, and trembled unconsciously on horseback. But morale was still high, and the sound of speech, echoing above the snowfield, could be heard far away.

This small team of people is mainly composed of township soldiers, mixed with a few Hengan armor cavalry as the backbone. Most of the current patrolling troops are configured like this. As the news of several great victories spread, more military horses gathered from the border military villages, and everyone wanted to quickly defeat the Turks and drive the Zhibi back to the grassland, and then everyone could have a peaceful year.

Moreover, in the winter, the food in the border military village is also in short supply. I used to tighten my belly and just get through it. But at this moment, since Liu Wuzhou led the army up, there must be baggage to follow up in the follow-up, and everyone has come to contribute, shouldn't they go back with a little profit? If we had won two battles and had gained a little capture, this winter would have been much better.

As for the coming year, born in this life, and in the borderland, thinking so far, thinking so much and doing so much?

The group talked and laughed before heading back to the valley camp. Before the valley, two military fortresses were re-established and stuck at the mouth of the valley. There are men and horses on duty at all times, and the deer are densely packed, just so as not to repeat the mistake of insisting on thinking.

On the wall, the general who led the team pressed his saber, and his face was also blue, watching them return, and greeted with a smile: "The mother came back so early, and I don't know which sheltered place to hide from the wind at night!" ”

The returning people led the team was a ten-year-old general, who was already very old, and he still talked and laughed at the generals. Hand cage in the sleeve looked up and smiled: "You go out and try it?" It's the mountain pass, and the wind blows you cold! Guarding in the stockade all day long, it is already considered to be cheap, and he also says cool words, which makes us anxious, but no matter what goes up and down, I have to fight with you! ”

The general looked left and right with his saber, leaned over and asked, "Where is this going?" ”

The ten generals said angrily: "After patrolling all night, don't you go back to get hot soup?" And then fall asleep to his mother, is it here to accompany you to idle your teeth? ”

The general was silent, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to open the gate of the village and go out, and moved the deer barricade, but recruited the ten generals to lead the team in.

The ten suspicious and confused led the team to stop at the entrance of the military village, and finally rode in. The general had already gotten off the wall, beckoned the ten generals to dismount, and dragged him to the depths of the wall.

The outer ring of this military village is a tent with more sheds, which is used to station troops and reserve war equipment, which can directly support the garrison of the wall. The inner circle is the horse shed and open space, which is convenient for personnel to come and go.

Now a shed has been built in the inner circle, several stoves have been erected, large pots have been erected, the firewood is burning vigorously, the hot soup is boiling, in addition to dried vegetables and corn, you can see a few pieces of meat and bones floating in the soup, and the aroma comes out in bursts.

The defenders in the village were already waiting in front of the soup pot, and everyone was swallowing saliva. Seeing the generals coming over with people, someone suddenly smiled bitterly: "General, you are generous, take food from the mouths of the brothers!" ”

The general snorted: "One less bite can starve you to death?" Didn't you ask for these horse meats cheekily? ”

Then the general said to the ten generals: "You go back to the camp, that is, dried vegetable soup, and one person will only take a mouthful." Now the food has not been delivered, and everyone is pulling their belts. We followed the general and fought side by side with the Xuanjia Cavalry. Xuanjia rode there and some horse meat, a certain old man begged for some, no matter how much, it was a pot, everyone who saw it had a share, and they were all hot. ”

At the sight of the hot broth, the ten generals were already dazzled, beckoned the brethren to take out the wooden bowls from the saddle bags, and when they had settled their horses, they crowded into the procession, noisily waiting for the firefighters to give them a large ladle of broth.

In the past few days, Liu Wuzhou has been sending troops out to patrol, keeping the cavalry on guard, and keeping in touch with the Turkic Zhibi army camped on the snowfield. Make a final sortie preparation. The last thing to limit is the supply of grain, how can people and horses fight if they are not full? People can still boil it, horses don't need concentrate, they can only serve as usual, and they can't exert their strength in battle.

Yuan Junzhang led the men and horses to come first, and the baggage was behind. Everyone is waiting for the arrival of the baggage, and the good life will be repaired and supplemented, and then make the final blow, completely drive the Deacon Department out of the land in the clouds, and then turn south, thinking of defeating Wang Rengong and fighting a way out for Hengan Yingyang Mansion!

When the baggage arrives, everyone will naturally tighten their belts. Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang's department is the dry food and horse material that the sergeant carries with him, how long can he stand up to eating? In the past few days, all the supplies have been halved, and everyone is so hungry that their eyes are blue. And because the Xuanjia Cavalry has defeated the stubborn force, there are quite a lot of seizures, and it stands to reason that it can be taken out to share the profits. However, Liu Wuzhou issued a strict order again, and Heng'an Jiaqi was never allowed to use the belongings of Xuanjia Qi.

This military order, which seemed to be extremely generous to the Xuanjia cavalry, made the Xuanjia cavalry quite embarrassed. And Liu Wuzhou ordered that all patrol tasks should be undertaken by the Heng'an Jiaqi, and the Xuanjia Caiqi should only recuperate peacefully. made Xuanjia ride up and down, but he didn't know what to do in the past few days, so he could only sleep with his head covered in the camp.

Two days ago, the big guys were still obeying military orders, but they were really hungry and a little panicked in the past two days. They all found their own way to find the Xuanjia rider to beg for food. And the Xuanjia Cavalry is embarrassed by this military order, as long as someone comes to ask for it, he will give it without hesitation. The generals above also turned a blind eye, so there was a steaming broth in this military village.

Ten generals made a bowl of broth, and one bite was half a bowl of belly, and then he felt that the whole person was warm. Approaching the general, he sat down, took a small sip of cherished drink, and asked, "How long are we going to delay here?" How can this baggage not be transported? ”

The generals looked left and right, came to the side of the ten generals, and whispered: "Now there is a rumor coming out, saying that in the city in the clouds, I am afraid that there is no food............

The ten generals were shocked, and they looked at the general, unable to say a word. The general also knew that he had lost his mouth, so he didn't say anything, just looked down at his soup bowl and said no more.

The ten generals also looked at their soup bowls, but they lost any appetite, and after a while, they muttered: "There is always a way for eagle strikes!" ”

The general lowered his head and sighed: "That is, there will always be a way for eagle strikes!" ”

Just as the two of them were cheering themselves up, all of a sudden, the sound of a horn sounded from the south, informing the whole army that men and horses were coming from the south.

The general threw away the soup bowl in his hand and bounced: "The baggage is up!" It's time for the last battle with the Turkic dogs! ”
