Chapter 116: Capture the Horse

Lan Ziyi declared:

"Soldiers of the Jihu Battalion, follow me to the north to win horses!"

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion shouted and immediately relined their formations and prepared to march north.

Li Guangzhong, the general of the forbidden military camp, asked:

"Master Hou, I'll go with you with my forbidden army, no matter what, it's also our horse."

兰子义 says:

"Nearly 100,000 horses are being led and galloping, do you think you can catch up on two legs on foot?"

Wei Qionglou took the opportunity to say:

"If you hadn't been stupid enough to tie your horses to the wild and let people steal them, you would have been ambushed tonight?

You still want to grab a horse, do you really think you can run on four legs? “

Li Guangzhong was so angry with Wei Qionglou that his face turned red, and he raised his horsewhip and scolded:

"What did you say?"

Wei Qionglou snorted coldly:

"What do you say I say? Stupid still doesn't let people say? ”

Lan Ziyi knew that Wei Qionglou was taking the opportunity to report that he was squeezed by the generals of the forbidden army in the afternoon in the palace, and after tonight's battle, Li Guangzhong and the forbidden army under him were also half of their own people, and now was not the time to let the people on both sides of his men fight.

So Lan Ziyi hurriedly said:

"Don't say what happened, don't tell what happened, and don't blame the past. Now is not the time to discuss these haves and haves.

General Wei, hurry up and greet your people, there are so many horses in the dark light, be careful of problems.

General Li, the thieves have been defeated, there is no more fighting outside the city, what matters now is to clean up the remaining thieves in the city, and then extinguish the fire. “

Li Guangzhong and Wei Qionglou were arguing just now, and when Lan Ziyi said this, the two had no choice but to give up, glanced at each other angrily, and turned their heads and walked away.

Lan Ziyi was about to join the Jihu camp, when he suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Li Guangzhong, who was going to urge the horse into the city

"General Li, where are your harnesses?"

Li Guangzhong had already urged the horse to run away, and when he heard the question, he replied:

"The soldiers of the forbidden army carried the harness with them."

Wei Qionglou listened to Xiao Sheng muttering:

"How do you want to get on the horse when the saddle is under the buttocks and the horse is halfway up the mountain?"

Lan Ziyi said in a distant voice:

"It's okay, General Li, you can go back on behalf of others quickly."

After seeing Li Guangzhong leave quickly, Lan Ziyi said:

"God help me, the thieves don't have harness, and they don't have the ability to drive the horse back, even if they rush back, they can't ride it."

Peach Rabbit said on the side:

"Wei Hou, you can ride a horse without a saddle, my eldest brother and second brother and I often have nothing when we are young, and we ride bareback horses."

兰子义 says:

"The sky in the north is high and cool, and there are grasslands and Gobi everywhere, which is most suitable for horses to run, and the border people have a hobby of riding horses since childhood, of course,

But the thieves started from Lingling, all of them were peasants, and if you let them get on their horses without anything, they must not fall off their horses?

Although the forbidden army did something stupid, this time it was stupid.

Departure brethren, get the horses back and we will go back to the camp and sleep. “

When the soldiers heard this, they shouted and urged their horses to set off.

Tao Zhuhu, who was beside Lan Ziyi, followed the crowd and said:

"When I come back, there is still that fire in the city waiting to be extinguished, I don't think I can sleep tonight."

Wei Qionglou heard the words and said:

"Wei Hou glanced at Jiuding when he spoke, how could he break his promise?

You say yes, Weihou? “

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Lan Ziyi,

Lan Ziyi just smiled when he heard this, but did not answer.

Wei Qionglou sighed jokingly when he saw it:

"Alas, it seems that Wei Hou is going to be unreasonable today."

The surrounding soldiers laughed when they heard it, Lan Ziyi couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, and said:

"There is no joke in the army, I just said that it should have been done, but the situation is urgent, and everyone will probably not be able to rest when they come back.

In this way, I will give you what you lack tonight into silver and ask the court for a reward. “

A soldier replied:

"Wei Hou, where will the imperial court make up for our dreams, Wei Hou, you will make fun of us again."

Lan Ziyi replied:

"The court won't give it to me, count each of you for an hour and a tael of silver, and four hours a night."

When the army heard this, they shouted in unison, and their morale was even greater.

Wei Qionglou whispered to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, don't spoil your subordinates like this."

Lan Ziyi replied:

"A gentleman must believe in his words and do what he does, and I will naturally do what I say."

Wei Qionglou smiled after hearing this,

Then Wei Qionglou asked:

"Wei Hou, you haven't told us how the battle is going outside the north gate."

So Lan Ziyi marched with everyone and told the battle outside the north gate.

After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, the surrounding sergeants applauded in unison, and Tao Zhuhu first praised his little brother

"San Lang, your skills are not bad."

Peach Rabbit listened and scratched his neck embarrassedly,

Then Tao Zhuhu said:

"If Wei Hou had fought with the general earlier, he would have been a famous general of my Dazheng Pillar Country by now."

Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:

"I'm not here, studying for the imperial examination is the way I want to go, it's not easy to fight and kill, take people's lives, and ......"

The more Lan Ziyi spoke, the quieter his voice became, after experiencing the stimulation of the blade licking blood, he himself didn't dare to believe these ambitions of his own now, the power of blood was so great?

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves around them became louder and louder, almost covering up the sound of Lan Ziyi's own horses' hooves.

The sergeant in the first row shouted:

"Everybody, look ahead."

Hearing the sound, Lan Ziyi stood up on the stirrup, squinting his eyes and looking forward,

I saw a herd of horses running on the plain in front of me, and many horses behind me who had not yet run down the eastern hillside.

You can see fires in front of the horses, on the left and right, and at the rear, and that the thieves are lighting torches on the horses.

魏qiong楼 says:

"The thieves are really stupid, they are obviously sneaking away, but they are lighting torches. Doesn't that make it clear where you are? “

兰子义 says:

"We are elite cavalry who practice every day, and of course we can run without lighting torches.

The thieves are not good at riding, so they can only run with torches. “

Next to the peach rabbit said:

"The thieves don't seem to have noticed us, but the horses are so loud that they drown out the sound of our horses' hooves."

桃扵鹿 says:

"Wei Hou, what do you command?"

Lan Ziyi frowned slightly, thought about it, and said:

"Now we are still some distance from the herd, and in the shadows, the advantage is on our side,

The only question is how to get rid of the thieves as quickly as possible. “

魏qiong楼 says:

"Listen to the orders of the Marquis."

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"Good!

General Wei, you have half of the men and horses to approach the back of the horses, and after engaging the thieves, you will send the ordinary people to the right side of the horses at full speed, and you must shoot the thieves farthest away from us as soon as possible.

Remember, don't leave the thieves alive, don't drive the horses, wait until we've got rid of them. “

Wei Qionglou asked:

"Why did Wei Hou arrange it like this?"

Lan Ziyi explained:

"The thieves on the left and behind the herd are the targets of our first round of impact, and it is not a big problem to clean them up, but the thieves in front of and on the right side of the herd will run away first, and it will not be fun if they disperse the herd.

As long as you move fast enough, you can engage the thieves on the right side of the herd at the same time as I engage the thieves in front of you, so that you can deal with the thieves at the same time, and try to avoid the thieves from scattering the horses. “

Wei Qionglou nodded when he heard it and replied:

"The last will obey."

Then Wei Qionglou shouted:

"I heard it all clearly, whispered, follow me!

Throw everything in the way. “

The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion did not speak again when they heard the order, silently threw the long weapon in their hands, and took out their bows and arrows.

Half of them followed Wei Qionglou and jerked the horse's buttocks, quickly approaching the back of the herd.

Lan Ziyi said to the Tao family brothers beside him:

"There are the most torches in front, I think the thief boss must be there, everyone work hard, kill that Lei Youde here today, and avenge Dangyang's arrow!"

The Tao brothers stopped making a sound when they heard this, but took out their bows and arrows and secretly accelerated.

Lan Ziyi also urged the horse to speed up with everyone,

As the horse gradually accelerated, Lan Ziyi also stepped on the stirrup and half-squatted up, his calves below the knees rose and fell violently with the horse, fluctuating with his thighs, and his upper body was tightly attached to the horse's back, remaining still.

The other riders of the Tiger Battalion were in the same position, except that they had spread their reins and were holding their bows and arrows.

The figure of the thief not far in front has appeared in the field of vision,

There are nearly 100 of these thieves, and unlike ordinary thieves, although the armor on their bodies is patchwork, they are all in armor, although they are speeding away but the whole person is sitting in the saddle, the horses are violently undulating not only to make themselves tired, but also to press the crotch of the horse pain.

Tao Zhulu whispered next to Lan Ziyi:

"It's the guard of the Celestial General we ran into last time in Dangyang."

桃追兔 says:

"I really don't know how to ride a horse."

Lan Ziyi arranged in a low voice:

"Don't shoot the arrows first, get closer, don't shoot the horses, just shoot the people.

The thieves are all in armor, and they must find an opportunity to kill them with one blow. “

The armies whispered orders to each other, and they all lowered their bodies and quickly approached the thieves from behind.

When he got close to being almost four feet away, one of the thieves might have heard the voice, or maybe he just didn't feel right, but he glanced back anyway.

As a result, when I saw that there were so many officers and soldiers behind my buttocks, I was stunned at the moment.

Tao Zhuhu didn't give him a chance to react, and immediately let go of the string, and the arrow flew out and pierced the thief's throat.

Before he could say a word, he rolled off his horse, making a muffled sound of a sack falling to the ground, and then it was muffled by the iron hooves behind him.

When the thieves heard the movement behind them, they all looked back, and they were greeted by the arrows of the forbidden army.

The soldiers of the forbidden army did not miss any arrows, and all those who turned back were hit in the cheek, but not all of them were sealed with a sword.

Many of the thieves cried out, shouting:

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

When the thieves in front heard this, they hurriedly urged the horses to run quickly, and those who dared to turn their heads to look were shot directly under the horses.

It's just too late, the forbidden army has already caught up with the thieves, the soldiers put away their bows and arrows, draw their sabers, and stab and slash according to the gaps in the thieves' armor.

Lan Ziyi also drew his sword and wanted to join the battle, but was protected by the Tao brothers.

The Tao brothers did not draw their swords, but continued to use bows and arrows to shoot the thieves in the face.

The thieves were panicked by the sudden attack, coupled with the disadvantage of numbers, and their riding skills were not exquisite, and they were all cut off their horses by the Jihu battalion in a short time.

After the last thief was killed, Peach Rabbit asked:

"Young Master, let's continue to chase after the thieves at the front like this."

Lan Ziyi frowned and thought about it, he always felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing.

Suddenly, Lan Ziyi figured it out and shouted:

"Not good!"
