These words attracted the attention of the soldiers, and the ten captains walked over with their guns with a restrained smile, and when they looked far away, they saw a little fire approaching, and there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, which was a cavalryman. If you like it, you can get it

The soldier, dressed in military uniforms and armor, drove his horse to the city gate, raised the torch lightly in his hand, and said breathlessly: "Open the city gate quickly, I have important military information to inform the county guard!" ”

When the ten chiefs heard this, they did not dare to slack off: "Open the city gate." "The messenger was welcomed into the city, and he did not ask what was happening, but sent a few soldiers to send the messenger to Zhao Yi's mansion.

Zhao Yi was woken up by his own soldiers in his sleep, frowning slightly: "What happened?" ”

"My lord, a soldier from Shanggu broke into the city late at night and said that he had important military information to inform your lordship." The soldiers told the truth about the situation.

Zhao Yi put on his boots and followed the soldiers into the hall. When the soldier saw Zhao Yi, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "My lord, the villain came to hand over this letter to my lord on the order of Captain Gaodu. As he spoke, he took out the cloth from his bosom.

Zhao Yi took the cloth and glanced at it, Gao Zhixin said that a team of elite horsemen under the Wuhuan Department was heading towards Zhuo County, so Zhao Yi should be careful. Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, burned the letter, and secretly said that the soldiers of Shanggu County all eat dry rice? found out that the Wuhuan cavalry was plotting wrong, why didn't he kill it, but let the Wuhuan soldiers come in.

"Since you Gao Zhidu Lieutenant knows the movements of Wu Huan's department, why don't you eliminate it, but let it drive straight in?" There was already a trace of anger in Zhao Yi's words. Gao Zhi wants to use a strategy to drive away tigers and devour wolves?

The soldier smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, recently, the Xianbei cavalry of the brigade has been in the realm, and seven or eight out of ten soldiers in the county have been transferred to the border by the county guard to resist the Xianbei cavalry. The remaining soldiers were scattered in various counties, unable to concentrate in a short period of time, so naturally there was no way to eliminate the flexible and mobile elite cavalry of the Wuhuan Division. ”

Zhao Yi's face softened slightly, Shanggu County was indeed weak. "The sergeant has worked hard, please go down and rest first." The soldiers were sent into the wing, and Zhao Yi quickly put on his armor and went to the barracks.

This Wuhuan spirit rider came for himself, perhaps to avenge the last time. If the cavalry attacks Zhuojun City, the soldiers in the city are well fed, and Zhao Yi is sure of victory. What I am afraid of is that the Wuhuan soldiers, like last time, will attack those villages that do not have strong fortifications. Zhao Yi didn't dare to slack off, and walked quickly to the barracks.

At this time, the sky was already white, and the patrol soldiers were still shuttling through the various camps in good spirits. The hurried sound of horses' hooves of Zhao Yi and a dozen guards broke the silence of the barracks.

"Drumming Gathering!"

The sound of "dong dong" drums sounded in the school field, and the quiet military camp suddenly heard the sound of dressing, and the well-trained elite soldiers continued to run out of the camp tent to form a phalanx, staring at Zhao Yi who was standing on the Dianjiang platform with burning eyes.

Zhao Yi glanced at the soldiers below, and said the general's feelings loudly, the expressions on the faces of the soldiers were different, the officers and soldiers looked indignant, and they shouted to make Wuhuan pay, especially the cavalry, after these days of training, they had long wanted to compete with the Wuhuan cavalry, as for the Wuhuan soldiers, they were silent, no matter how they said that they were also people of their own clan, and there were many people they were familiar with. Some time ago, I was drinking with them, but when I met the swords and soldiers today, they really couldn't do it.

Zhao Yi asked the cavalry to come out and give them a quarter of an hour to prepare. Unlike the officers and soldiers who quickly entered the barracks to get weapons, the Wuhuan soldiers gathered one or two hundred people to discuss this incident.

The big war is coming, these soldiers should hurry up, how can they delay time so much, Tai Shici scolded everyone: "Hurry back to the camp to prepare for war!" ”

These Wuhuan soldiers glanced at each other one after another, and a few people walked out, with a look of embarrassment on their faces, bowed to Zhao Yi, and asked Zhao Yi in a tentative tone: "My lord, can we not participate in this battle?" The Wuhuan of the upper valley is our foundation, and there will be acquaintances among them. I can't bear to see him. ”

"At this moment, you are already an official of the imperial court, how can you go from day to night." Tai Shi Ci frowned.

Zhao Yi understood what these Wuhuan soldiers were thinking, it had not been a month since these people surrendered to Zhao Yi, and they still had a sense of belonging to the Wuhuan tribe, and it was normal that they didn't want to fight. And Zhao Yi didn't want these Wuhuan soldiers to fight, although he cultivated some brotherly feelings with the officers and soldiers, but this brotherhood has not diluted the blood kinship in the hearts of the Wuhuan soldiers. If he suddenly defects on the battlefield, not only will his efforts for so many days be in vain, but he will also cause heavy damage to his cavalry. "Okay, they are all men with affection and righteousness, you don't need to participate in this battle."

The Wuhuan soldier seemed to have unloaded his heavy burden, with a relieved smile on his face, and bowed to Zhao Yi sincerely: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

The Wuhuan soldiers were left in the camp by Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi ordered the soldiers to carry four spears each, Zhao Yi's gun rain repeatedly made meritorious achievements, and the last time it was relying on the gun rain to defeat the five-ring iron cavalry.

In addition to the cavalry, Zhao Yi also brought Dian Wei and his 1,000 heavily armored soldiers, and 5,000 people rushed to the junction of Zhuo County and Shanggu County with the first ray of sunlight.

The sun shines through the clouds on the earth, and the dew on the grass and trees shines with a crystal clear light. A cavalry of about three thousand men walked in the wilderness.

Dozens of miles ahead were barren, thousands of acres of fertile land were unplanted, and they were full of knee-deep weeds.

The cavalry was dressed in strong clothes, with hair casually draped over their shoulders, a sharp saber straddling each of their waists, and their eyes were sharp and vigilant from time to time. The war horse under the crotch was strong, and he walked for hundreds of miles without the slightest fatigue.

"The people of the Central Plains are really wasteful, such a fertile land does not grow food, and it is left to be barren." The crisp voice came from the mouth of a woman with good looks and a well-built body. Carrying a carved bow, he walked heroically across a horse.

A man in his thirties who accompanied him, hearing the woman's words, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Although the last general has not set foot in the inland, he also has some understanding of the situation of the Han Dynasty at this time. After years of war, the people were displaced, and it was too late to flee for their lives, so how to farm with peace of mind. ”

"That's what we're using." The woman stared eagerly at the vast expanse of land in front of her.

"Miss Wen Qin, this place is already close to Zhuo County, we should be more careful," Some time ago, the three thousand elite cavalry under his command were completely annihilated by the officials and troops of Zhuo County, which shocked the Wuhuan cavalry.

"Zhuojun?" Wen Qinxiu's eyes narrowed slightly, "I thought I would meet this Zhao Yi and see what kind of ability he has to destroy my three thousand iron horses." Saying that, Wen Qin raised his slender jade hand, "Speed up!" ”

Behind them, these Wuhuan men obeyed their orders, no one dared to underestimate this pair of slender jade hands, this Wen Qin was not only the daughter of Nanlou, the leader of the Wuhuan tribe in Shanggu County, but also one of the best marksmen in the tribe, and he was also super capable in close combat.

Wen Qin was originally called Wen Qin, Nanlou hoped that her daughter would be as gentle as jade like Miss Han, but as her daughter grew up, under the influence of the surrounding environment, she did not become a talented woman who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but became a master of archery and horse archery, so that Nanlou only had a bitter smile in her heart, and the word Qin was changed by Wen Qin to Qin of the Qin Dynasty because it was too elegant.

Three years ago, because Wen Qin led his troops to defeat the Xianbei cavalry who plundered property, Nanlou made an exception to make Wen Qin the leader of the first army. Is it possible to occupy a territory in the interior and move the tribe inward.

But Wen Qin did not obey his father's instructions, and took the fine horse to the depth of Shanggu County.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he returned from his horse to the west, and reported: "Chief, there is a caravan fifteen miles to the west. ”

Wen Qin Lema stopped and looked at the west: "What to transport?" How are the guards? ”

"This caravan has more than 20 carriages, and there are 1,000 guards, and the defense is very tight." The probe will tell the situation.

"It's so well defended, it should be food or valuables." Wen Qin's eyes lit up, "It's just for me." Saying that, Wen Qin waved his hand and gave an order: "The army is marching west!" ”

As for the 1,000 people who guarded, Wen Qin didn't pay attention to it at all, under the impact of his iron cavalry, a thousand people would be killed in less than half an hour.

And the caravan in the west happened to be Zhou Ping's department escorted by Gao Shun. When leaving Zhuojun, Zhao Yi warned Gao Shun to be cautious.

At this time, although Gao Shun and the others were guarding Zhou Ping, they sent a number of scouts to pay close attention to the surrounding movements. Gao Shun looked at the wasteland and dilapidated villages that stretched for dozens of miles, and muttered, secretly saying that the world is too chaotic now.

Zhao Yi increased the manpower but did not increase the cost of guards, Zhou Ping was very pleased, and he naturally did not treat Gao Shun and these soldiers badly. He handed the wine bag to Gao Shun: "General, this place is less than eighty miles away from the county seat, and we may be able to reach it tonight." ”

Gao Shun nodded, but did not take the wine bag. This was Zhao Yi's military order, and no one was allowed to drink alcohol during the march. Even if Zhao Yi was not by his side at this time, these elite soldiers did not wear official armor, but the rules are the rules and cannot be broken. "Thank you, sir, for the wine, your lordship is strict in military discipline, and you can't drink alcohol during the march."

Zhou Ping secretly said that Zhao Yi acted cautiously, and he smiled and did not push back. Instead, he said two words of praise for Zhao Yi.

At this moment, the scout horse from the east came running with a panicked face and reported: "General, there is a large group of cavalry marching quickly towards us again!" ”

Gao Shun raised his eyebrows, his face did not change, and he asked the soldier calmly: "How far is this?" How many troops? ”

Gao Shun's composure gave the panicked Tanma some confidence: "According to this, there are still ten miles, and the number of troops is at least three thousand." ”

Zhou Ping's face turned pale when he heard this, how could a thousand infantry fight against three thousand cavalry! Hurriedly asked Gao Shun: "General, what should we do?" ”

"Sir, don't panic." Gao Shun's eyes turned and beckoned to a few cavalrymen: "A few of you will quickly report this news to the general!" Then he glanced around, pointed to the dilapidated village that was still a mile away from here, and waved his big hand: "The rest of the people quickly lead the carriage into the village, and we will defend it on the spot!" "The infantry on the plains was a living target for the cavalry, and they had to enter the villages, with the help of the village walls and narrow streets, to resist the onslaught of the cavalry.

When Gao Shun and the others arrived in the village, the cavalry led by Wen Qin was less than six miles away from them, and seeing Gao Shun and the others retreating into the village from a distance, Wen Qin waved his hand to let the soldiers accelerate the impact.
