Volume 1 Wanfu Li Chapter 84 Vendetta
For a whole day and night, the team had almost reached the limit, Shen Leng ordered to stop and rest, at this time it was at least five hundred miles away from the Zhangkou County Guanbu Wharf, this kind of strength of the march is not only the limit test for people, but also for war horses.
Normally, a cavalry march of 100 miles a day is fast, after all, a large group of horses is not the same as a single light horse.
Daning north of the horse breeding, from the Hexi Road to the north of the Kuomeng Road has thousands of miles of grassland, the former dynasty of the Great Chu was conquered, the tribes returned to the imperial court, after the establishment of the country of Daning promulgated several preferential strategies for the grassland people to stabilize the people's hearts, these hundreds of years the grassland is the foundation of the Daning soldiers to provide war horses.
Therefore, northern Xinjiang has always been constantly fighting, and it is not a day or two that the black warriors covet the vast Mongolian grassland.
The grassland horses are also different, the war horses produced in the eastern part of the Kuomeng grassland are relatively short and have strong endurance, and they are the standard horses of the Daning soldiers and local van soldiers.
For long-distance marching, the Bowuma in eastern Kuomeng can walk about 100 miles in four hours, but walking for four hours in a row is the limit, and the horse will be abandoned if it does not rest.
But Bowu is not the best horse in the grassland, the best is produced in the snow plough area in the western part of the grassland, and the snow plow horse is generally only supplied to the iron horses of the northern frontier, especially the best breed of snow plow horses that must be used for the five thousand heavy horses.
The ordinary snow plough war horse can carry a cavalry of one hundred and thirty or forty catties in just three and a half hours, and it can travel one hundred and twenty miles, among which the high-quality war horse known as the jade snow plough can carry nearly two hundred catties of heavy armored cavalry, but the number is really limited.
This is the first time Shen Leng has come into contact with the snow plow horse, and he has to be impressed by Cen Zheng's ability.
Finding more than twenty snow plows for a dozen people may not be too difficult for a general, but according to the location marked on the map that Cen Zheng gave Shen Leng, a new batch of war horses will be prepared for them every eight hundred miles, so that they can reach the Fengyan platform as quickly as possible.
Counting it, Cen Zheng prepared hundreds of snow plows, which is unreasonable.
It is not so easy for even the soldiers of the various provinces and guards to get hundreds of snow plows and horses, after all, most of the snow plows have to be supplied to the northern frontier, and it is the most important thing there.
There is a Sak tribe in the Black Warriors, the Sak cavalry is the strongest team of the Black Warriors Border Army, coming and going like the wind, in order to deal with the Sak Cavalry, the Northern Frontier Army has created a more perverted and ferocious heavy cavalry, 5,000 heavy cavalry, 30,000 light cavalry, forming a Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry Army that makes the Black Warriors fearful.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Leng glanced at Chen Ran, who had an ugly face.
Chen Ran looked around, lowered his voice and said: "The butt may be worn out, damn it really hurts, I suspect that not only is the butt frayed, but somewhere it is like smearing a layer of chilli oil and a layer of chili oil, which irritates my egg head." ”
Shen Leng took out the medicine prepared by Mr. Shen and threw it to him: "Find a place where no one is there and apply the medicine." ”
Chen Ran looked at the medicine with an embarrassed face: "You say, will I abolish my baby, I still have the heavy responsibility of inheriting the lineage of my old Chen family." ”
Shen Leng sneered and laughed: "You cut the cowhide waist bag distributed by the sailor, and then put it in your pants." ”
The cowhide waist bag is one of the standard equipment of the soldiers, worn on the belt, and can put some wound medicine, knives, gauze and other things in it, it is extremely tough, and it is said that even if the soldiers retire and bring it home, it will not be broken for another 20 years.
Chen Ran was embarrassed: "Is this a new dress for my baby?" ”
"Leather armor."
Shen Leng was serious: "Guo Danpi." ”
Chen Ran snorted: "Disgusting...... In the future, when you see the fruit dan peel, you will lose your appetite. ”
He took the wound medicine and went to the roadside forest, and from time to time there were bursts of oops, and he thought that the wound medicine was not pleasant to apply to the broken skin, especially in the critical position.
Chen Ran may be ...... at this time Egghead wrinkled, and found that things were not simple.
Shen Leng squatted on the ground and unfolded the map, Yang Qibao arranged his guard and walked towards him, looking at his walking posture, he knew that he was not much stronger than Chen Ran.
Yang Qibao glanced at Shen Leng: "Captain, why are you okay?" ”
Shen Leng raised his head and said solemnly, "I'm the captain." ”
Yang Qibao: "So what? ”
"I can bear it."
Yang Qibao almost laughed, and when he squatted down, he grinned a little: "I used to hear that people who ride horses all year round are lapped legs, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it...... Hahaha. ”
He suddenly laughed inexplicably, and Shen Leng couldn't help but wonder when he looked at him laughing like that: "What do you think." ”
Yang Qibao grinned in pain, but he still smiled and leaned back: "I can't help but think of the tens of thousands of perennial horseback riders in the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, who must be mighty and domineering when they ride a tall horse in formation, but when a group of people step forward after getting off the horse, will it be as if everyone has a big egg between their legs." ”
A picture appeared in Shen Leng's mind, the team formed a phalanx neatly, and when they walked forward, there was a circle between everyone's two legs, would it look like a tunnel from the opposite side?
"Ahem......"
Shen Leng didn't dare to think about it, for fear of dying of laughter.
"Let's camp here tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning, and then we'll go around the woods over there to see if we can catch a few game to make up for the brothers, and after tomorrow we set off and run to the place where we change horses, and then we'll ...... here."
Shen Leng pointed to a location on the map: "Fengcheng Ancient Village will rest for one night." ”
"Fengcheng Ancient Village."
Yang Qibao's face changed: "It is rumored that the place is not quiet, and it is said that it will be haunted at night." ”
Shen Leng: "Ghosts have to be afraid of us." ”
Fengcheng ancient village is a very important battlefield when Daning destroyed Chu, once Chu 8,000 elites defended Fengcheng ancient village, Ning army stormed for a full ten days to take down this ancient village, 8,000 Chu army did not capture a single prisoner, none of them lived, all died in battle.
Later, it was rumored that every night in the ancient village, you could hear crying, and there were bursts of Chu Ge.
Shen Leng didn't believe this, it was because no one would go to that place that they were going, the first thing to ensure in this operation was top secret, and they had to try to avoid appearing in prosperous places.
Shen Leng inexplicably thought of the warehouse at the dock of Chang'an City, and the warehouse behind Boss Meng's house in Fish Scale Town, but wherever it is said that ghosts infested will harm people's lives, most of the hidden things are not ghosts, but things that are more terrifying than evil ghosts...... Villain.
In the ancient village of Fengcheng, 11,000 of the 8,000 Ning soldiers of the Chu army died there, and the blood can dye all the slopes of the fierce battle red, take a step back and say, if the soul of the 8,000 Chu army is not dispersed, there are also the souls of the 11,000 Ning army soldiers who are pressed there, singing Chu songs? Don't even think about it.
Now that this is a peaceful place, how can you hear the sound of Chu?
"Let's go."
Shen Leng put away the map and pulled Yang Qibao along: "Let's go hunt for game." ”
Yang Qibao followed Shen Leng with his legs crossed, and after squirming for a while, he said embarrassedly: "There is something I have already mentioned to the general, and the general said let me ask you......"
Shen sneered: "What's the matter, Brother Yang just have to say it." ”
Yang Qibao hurriedly said: "Don't worry if I'm called Brother Yang, you are already a captain, and the rules in the army can't be messed up...... I was thinking of coming over to you, the Overseer is good, you can help the Admiral do a lot of things, and the Discipline of the Governor is legal, but I am unwilling...... When a man joins the army, he still has to make contributions on the battlefield. ”
Shen Leng nodded: "If the general agrees, you can come over at any time, and temporarily make a group leader with me, and I have wronged you." ”
Yang Qibao paused for a moment: "No, no, if you come, you will be a group leader, the brothers below are not convinced, I still start as a soldier." ”
"Then what's the matter, it's decided, if you don't do it, I won't let you come."
Yang Qibao's nose was sour: "Okay!" ”
Once he was in the standard battalion under Mu Xiaofeng, he fought bravely, and his martial arts were extremely strong, in fact, Yang Qibao's strength and Shen Leng may be on par, but he was seven or eight years older than Shen Leng, which was the strongest period, and Shen Leng was only seventeen years old.
In the past, he encountered all kinds of injustices in the army, but now he can do things under Shen Leng, and he directly does the group rate, this kind of emotion Yang Qibao can't express.
At the same time, when the sailor escorted the Jiangnan Weaving Mansion cargo ship to continue forward, Mu Liuer, who was carrying a large number of Guantangkou masters, also got the news from the Zhangkou County Guanbu Wharf.
"Shen Leng may not be in the fleet?"
Mu Liu'er frowned slightly: "Where can he go?" ”
"Someone saw a ten-person team quietly leave the fleet, although they didn't see Shen Leng exactly, but after the ten-person team left, Shen Leng's personal soldiers said to the outside world that Shen Leng was sick and couldn't see the wind, and he had been in the cabin and didn't come out, although he would occasionally stand at the window, but no one could be sure whether it was Shen Leng or not."
"Map!"
Mu Liu'er beckoned, and his subordinates hurriedly unfolded the map.
Mu Liu'er's fingers traced along the road on the map, and his eyes explored from the Zhangkou County Official Supplement Wharf to the surroundings, and finally stopped on an official road: "He wants to enter Chang'an City in advance?" ”
"If he leaves the team and takes the land route, there is only one road in Zhangkou County."
"There's a problem."
Mu Liu'er stood up and paced back and forth, and turned back sharply and ordered: "Pass the book to the flying pigeon in Chang'an City, let the second master Li Huaiping choose a good hand to check carefully in Chang'an City, in addition, there are many forks in this road in Zhangkou County, but the road to the east of Chang'an will be connected to another official road that goes straight to the north, and more people will be sent to watch at that intersection." ”
"Yes!"
His subordinates hurriedly went to make arrangements, and Mu Liu'er's brows became tighter and tighter.
"This is the best chance to kill Shen Leng......"
Thinking of Mu Xiaofeng, Mu Liu'er's heart hurt, when will the young master change his opinion about himself? If he can't kill Shen Leng this time, the young master may be even more disgusted with himself, no, he must not miss.
She suddenly turned around and ordered: "Zhao Feng, you take half of the people and continue to chase along the official road now, and the horses will be given to you, even if there is no Shen Leng in that ten-person team, you must find out what they are going to do for me." ”
"Yes!"
Mu Liu'er's most trusted and powerful subordinate Zhao Feng nodded, he is a man who looks about thirty years old, a native of Kansai, he was a lone thief, and then he never left Guantangkou after seeing Mu Liu'er, in his eyes, Mu Liu'er is the most beautiful woman in the world, and he can do everything for Mu Liu'er.
"For the sake of the young master?"
He asked.
"You're not qualified to talk too much."
Mu Liu'er looked at Zhao Feng: "Do what you have to do." ”
Zhao Feng sighed, walked out a few steps and turned back: "Why do you have to make yourself so hard?" ”
Mu Liu'er looked at him, her eyes were cold: "Use you to care?" Get lost! ”
Zhao Feng sighed and turned his head to beckon his subordinates to leave.
