It was already evening, and the sun had begun to set obliquely to the top of the mountain, seeing that it would be dark in another hour, and the Liukou led by Tian Jianxiu was still more than twenty miles away from Ning Guofu.

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up for Lao Tzu, I didn't have lunch today, and I was grinding and grinding like I had lost my soul.

It's Jiangning Mansion in front, Liu Duwei Liu Ye took down Jiangning Mansion a few days ago, I heard that hundreds of carts were fished out of silver alone, let's hurry over and maybe we can drink some soup, otherwise let alone soup, you can't even eat hot! ”

On the official road leading to Ning Guofu, a long stream of people was pouring towards Ning Guofu along the official road, but no matter how you look at it, this team has no order, and it looks very chaotic.

In the team, many leaders such as the general sentry and the general department are constantly using words to cheer up the rogues.

Tian Jianxiu led a group of brown soldiers to stand on the side of the road, looking at the tired and panting Liukou eyebrows, there was a trace of worry, although it was getting closer and closer to Ning Guofu, but for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

He stretched out his hand and beckoned a confidant and instructed: "You go to the front and take a look, has the outpost we sent out come back?" If they come back, let them come to me at once. ”

"Understood!" The henchman agreed, and immediately rode his horse and galloped forward.

Although he had a bad feeling in his heart, Tian Jianxiu, who saw that the sky was about to get dark, did not dare to order the team to stop.

It is not easy to camp in the wilderness these days, and at night it is the home of poisonous snakes, poisonous insects and wild beasts, and it is not a good thing to be bitten by a poisonous snake or targeted by a wild wolf.

Some people don't understand why the ancient army could only march thirty or forty miles in the wilderness, because in addition to the heavy baggage, the army would only march in the morning, and in the afternoon it would stop and start camping.

Digging trenches, burying antlers, setting up tents, etc., in addition to guarding against the enemy, the most important thing is to guard against wild beasts, poisonous snakes and other things, which is the biggest trouble of marching in the field in ancient times.

Especially now that it's almost dark, if you can't get to Ning Guofu in time and have to camp in the wild, you won't even be able to eat dinner, which is why Tian Jian Hideaki has to move forward even if he is worried about the danger ahead.

"Bang ......"

In the distance, a faint sound of fire came to Tamihide's ears.

Although the voice was small, it fell on Tian Mixiu's ears as much as thunder in the clear sky.

"It's not good, there's an enemy ahead."

Almost as soon as he heard the gunshot, he immediately jumped on his horse and looked ahead with wide eyes, while beside him, those rogues failed to reflect for a while, and still moved forward in scolding, even those old bandits looked ahead in surprise at most.

It's not that they're not vigilant, it's that they're used to the sound of firecrackers or shouts of killing.

After a while, a bloodied sentry rode a horse and galloped towards him, the war horse stopped more than ten meters in front of him, the sentry panted and said: "Tian Ye, we met the Ming army in front of the night and did not collect, the villain took more than ten brothers to fight with them, the other party's fire gun was too sharp, and killed several of us at once, and the villain could only take people to withdraw first." ”

Tian Jianxiu frowned and said, "How many of them are there?" ”

The sentry said: "The villain has roughly calculated, that is, there are more than ten people, but they have a lot of war horses, and everyone is riding three horses." ”

"His grandmother, these dog officers and soldiers are really extravagant." Tian Jianxiu scolded in a low voice.

As a kind of military with the highest requirements for mobility, a double horse is only the standard, if you want to carry out a long-distance attack is a reconnaissance, one ride and three horses can meet the requirements, as for the rogues, because they are too poor, even the sentry can only implement one horse and one horse, which is the lowest version of the beggar, which is why Tian Jianxiu will scold after hearing that the Ming army's night is not collected by one horse and three horses.

Bowing his head and groaning for a while, Tian Jianxiu asked again: "Have you found the other party's team?" ”

"This villain doesn't know." The detective shook his head helplessly: "As soon as the villain and his party came out of the woods, they were attacked by the night, and they didn't have time to probe the movement ahead. ”

A sentry said viciously on the side: "Master Tian, why don't you let me bring some brothers to kill those dog officers and soldiers in front?" ”

A general manager also said with a fierce look: "Lao Wang, remember to leave a few alive, I will tie them to the back of the horse and drag them to death!" ”

"By the way, judging from me, those dog officers and soldiers in front are just bluffing, if there were too many people, they would have been killed a long time ago, how could there be only so many people to carry out a sneak attack!"

Seeing that Tian Jianxiu was still a little hesitant, a department general added a fire to the side, "Tian Ye, seeing that there are less than twenty miles ahead to Ningguofu, even if he encounters the Ming army, will Liu Ye in Ningguofu not be able to see it?" If there really is a Ming army, aren't they afraid of being attacked from both sides? ”

"That's right!"

When everyone heard this, they all chimed in.

"No matter how stupid the Ming army is, it will not be so unwise, knowing that it will fall into a two-sided attack and will come to provoke us, according to me, the front is definitely just a small unit of the Ming army, the purpose is to scare us, so that we dare not enter the city, so that their brigade will arrive."

After a few days of running, the rogues who were already too tired to do anything had long thought about entering the city to loot, and seeing that Ning Guofu was in front, how could they be willing to stay in this wilderness.

"Good!"

Tian Jianxiu finally nodded, and said to the first sentinel: "Lao Wang, you lead your headquarters to step forward immediately, if you encounter a small group of Ming troops, press over, if you encounter a large group of Ming troops, remember to retreat immediately, remember not to be reckless." ”

"Tian Ye rest assured, I know!"

The whistle surnamed Wang agreed, glanced at the thieves around him with a smug gaze and laughed loudly: "Brothers, I have taken the first step, and I will wait for you in the Ning Guo Mansion later." ”

With a burst of smug laughter, the sentry surnamed Wang hurried away with three hundred thieves.

Not long after, a sentinel came to report, "Tian Ye, Mr. Wang Sentinel, they encountered more than a dozen Ming soldiers who did not collect at night, and those dog officers and soldiers saw the arrival of our brigade, and immediately smeared oil on the soles of their feet and fled." ”

"His grandmother's, I just mean that the army is bluffing to scare us."

"I knew that I also followed Lao Wang."

"Right...... What are we waiting for here, hurry over! ”

Hearing this, Tian Jianxiu finally relieved his heart and ordered the whole army to advance quickly immediately, and he must rush to Ningguo Mansion before dark.

Half an hour later, all the rogue teams walked out of the woods, at this time, they were only less than ten miles away from Ning Guofu, and they were surprised to see the city wall in the distance, but at the same time they saw the city wall, they also saw a neatly arranged cavalry waiting for them less than a mile away from them.

"Oh no, fooled!"
