Chapter 353: Heading South (62)
At the time when the two armies of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion converged, held a banquet and gathered, boasted of their might, and the soldiers and horses were about to go north to make the final blow.
In the camp of the Deacon, there was still a gloomy fog.
It turned out that the military horses of several beacons were all transferred to the battle-capable soldiers and concentrated among the main forces of the Chinese army, which was already greatly injured, and it was barely recovered part of their strength. And Baal and Kornu are now leading the Chinese army and guards, and they are also trying their best to maintain order, and adhering to the order of Zhibihe, the daily grain and straw are doubled, so that these green wolves can ride in the ice and snow to eat a full belly.
After using such a method, the green wolf rider no longer showed signs of the previous riot and disobedience. But morale could not be boosted in any way. I don't know how many nobles who can speak in front of Zhibihe go to talk and let Zhibihe retire from the army as soon as possible. But Zhi Bihe just gritted his teeth and refused, saying that he was in a hurry and waved his hand and said nothing.
No one knows what he was going to do, and why he was still dying here after the fiasco. But after all, Zhibihe has been accumulating power for many years, so these dissatisfactions did not disobey orders in the end. How many green wolves ride are only here to survive for a day, and it will be consumed for a day.
The night was all around, and after a few days of sunny winds, the snow wind blew again on the ice sheet. Outside the camp, there is a vast white dust. Looking back at the camp, you can see the shining lights, illuminating the small patch around the camp. But it made the snowfield seem darker and darker.
The clouds are dense and the starry sky is gone, making this cold night look extraordinarily cold and solemn.
After a series of failures, although morale was low, the green wolf rider did not dare to slack off in the slightest in the vigilance patrol. It's hard to get them to move in the camp, but whoever goes out on patrol will immediately respond to the order of a team of 10 and 100 people, which is concerned about their own lives! Who knows if that black-armored iron rider will suddenly come out in the wind and snow at night, bringing them the greatest damage and fear!
The green wolf rode from top to bottom, at least on this winter day, and was already scared by the newborn tiger Xuanjia ride.
A team of ten, the farthest on the tour, had come to the top of a hill, and looked around at the darkness, and the camp had turned into a small bright spot. The ten-captain who led the team wrapped his head and face in leather, and his eyebrows were covered with hoarfrost.
His ten-man team has long been dissatisfied, only four or five horses are left, and everyone is shivering from the cold - it turns out that the green wolf rides in the snow, where is he afraid of this cold, and now he has suffered a few defeats, and as soon as his courage is lost, he can't hold on. Several subordinates were looking at the ten.
Originally, patrolling at night, try to be at a high place as much as possible, and by taking advantage of the weak reflection of the snowfield, you can slightly expand your field of vision and detect enemy movements early. But at this time, it was really unbearable to freeze in high places.
The ten-captain finally spoke: "Find a shelter from the wind, let's put a night sentry!" ”
His men waited for this, and with a low cheer, they turned to the shelter they had already sought from the wind.
The so-called night sentry is a nice thing to say. Cowering in shelter from the wind, the enemy cannot see them at night, and they cannot see the enemy, they are just lazy.
But the sentinel was so far away, it was clear that it was to see that their ten-man team was seriously attritional, even if they were the first to encounter the enemy, it would not be a pity to sacrifice. And their centurions have been killed in battle, and there is no nobleman to support them. Everyone has gone out on this winter expedition, and they have already fought a few battles, with heavy losses, and it is nothing to go out on patrol and alert, but let everyone die in vain, then there is only no way to wait, and we will talk about it perfunctory tonight!
Coming slowly, retreating to shelter from the wind, the horsemen ran as fast as they could, and at last they reached the land, a small col surrounded by low hills, and a hill stretched to the northwest, which somewhat blocked the cold wind that swept from the north. Several green wolves turned over and dismounted, and surrounded the war horses in a circle, and everyone gathered together to rub their hands and stomp their feet.
Someone took out the frozen dry food from his arms, and wanted to bite it twice, but his teeth were about to collapse, so he could only curse and throw it away.
The ten-captain looked left and right, and finally gritted his teeth, took out a small leather water bag from his arms, put it close to his body, and with a little body temperature, he scolded in a low voice: "I am also kind-hearted, you wolf cubs are lucky!" There's also a bit of mare's milk wine, everyone has a sip! ”
His subordinates were overjoyed, although the grain supply was now open and open, and it looked like the future was too late. But there is still a difference between relatives and aliens, their hundred-man team is not even a centurion, and after they go back, they may have to be scattered to other nobles, and how many good things can they expect to share? Wine, such a precious thing, has long been covered by other nobles' subordinates. I don't know what their captain is capable of, and he can actually get these drinks!
Everyone took it with a smile, and took a sip of it in a circle, the mare's milk wine was a little sour, but it was still strong enough, and after entering it, I felt that there was a line of fire straight into the abdomen, and the half-frozen green wolf rode up in an instant.
As soon as the wine was in the mouth, some people couldn't hold the door on their lips, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is the old Khan just refusing to withdraw, and everyone has to be wiped out here?" ”
Someone suddenly scoffed: "This withdrawal, everyone will definitely go back to their own pastures, and they will be called again in the future, and God knows if there are half of the nobles who can answer the order." Of course, the old Khan wanted to subdue these nobles before withdrawing! ”
Someone sighed: "The old Khan lost the wolf flag, and the young sweat was not successful." Ah Xianshe is now in the hands of the Han people, and the old Khan wants to subdue the nobles, but it is difficult. Everyone can only spend it here, but they don't know how much food and straw they still have to support! ”
Some people don't care: "Our nobles have all died in battle, leaving several sons young, and then the mother-in-law will definitely take her son to remarry." We, the green wolf riders, will also be assigned to other nobles, we can't protect ourselves, what are we worried about for Lao Khan? ”
The ten-captain finally took back the wine bag, weighed it, only had the last sip left, and simply didn't take it back, drank it dry in one gulp, wiped his beard drenched with wine, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is cautious now, if something happens, just hide away!" Whether it's the old Khan who finally cleans up the situation, or is there something else, don't get involved! ”
Several green wolf riders looked stunned, and leaned over to ask, "What else is going on?" ”
Before the ten-captain could speak, suddenly, a torch light lit up high above their heads!
These green wolf riders suddenly changed and suddenly exclaimed! They shrank behind their horses and reached for the bow pouches on the side of the saddle.
When the night dawned, the first thing was a rain of arrows. These green wolf riders are all old pawns, how do they not know the danger. I don't know when, the enemy suddenly touched!
But this round of arrow rain did not come. These green wolf riders have pulled out their bows, and they are about to wind up their arrows and prepare to fight back. At this time, I heard a voice with cold arrogance hidden in peace.
"A certain is Shi Yuan Junzhang, the governor of Heng'an Mansion, take a certain person to see your old Khan, can you understand?"
