Chapter 200: Celebration Banquet
Chapter 200: Celebration Banquet
In the valley of Mount Alai, on the path leading to Yellowstone, a hundred mighty knights ride their horses in the wind. One of the leading knights was unusually strange, at first glance it seemed to be two people riding together, but on closer inspection, it was a hound leaning on the knight's arms.
As he ran, the hound suddenly tensed up in alarm and barked wildly in front of him. In the sky ahead, a flock of vultures was circling.
The leading knight raised his right hand to slow down his horse, and the whole cavalry team slowed down, and the guard was dispersed in good training.
The hound jumped from the lead horseman's steed and ran forward, seemingly spotting his target. The two knights were ordered to speed up and follow behind the hounds to investigate.
They saw a flock of black dots on the ground in front of them, like a flock of vultures.
The hound ran up to the black spot and startled the blackbird on the ground, revealing a crouched human body, seemingly dead. The hound sniffed at the corpse lying on the ground, barking at the corpse from time to time.
"General Hundred Cavalry, it's a corpse. It looks like a slave killed by the Tibetans. The two knights who came out of the house probed and reported the situation to the crow.
The crow is very sensitive to the word slave, and very sympathetic to them, because he has empathized with them, so no one knows better than him the miserable plight of the slave's pig and dog.
"Bury it." The crow couldn't help but feel a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox. "Damn the Tibetans!"
Riding on horseback with his hands tied behind his back, he noticed a hateful gaze staring at his face, and the leading escort knight seemed to have an inexplicable anger towards him. As for it? Isn't it just the death of a slave, why are you so fierce? Mo Lobsang thought boredly.
The hundred horsemen all stopped, vigilantly searching their surroundings. The two knights jumped off their horses, found a piece of soft ground on the river beach, and began digging a hole with the only two shovels they had in the group. Scouts have a variety of weapons, among which the shovel is an essential tool for digging holes in the field.
Soon, a well-sized pit with stagnant water was ready. Two other knights brought the corpse over, one grabbed the arm and the other grabbed the little 'leg', shook it and threw it into the pit, and a stream of muddy water suddenly scattered and splashed in all directions.
"'Mix', can't you be careful?" The two knights who were digging the pit wiped the dirty water from their clothes, their faces full of resentment.
"Wow, ahem......" No one noticed that the faint movement was coming from the dirt pit.
"Did you apologize like that?" The two knights who were digging the pit became more and more dissatisfied, and looked up at the two robes who threw the corpses.
"Ahh Another bang. This time, the four knights who looked at each other clearly heard the sound coming from the pit, and the four of them suddenly looked into the pit in shock.
"Save, save,"
The "corpse" in the pit moved slightly, as if it was the legendary "corpse".
"Still alive, quick, save people!" A soldier who reacted exclaimed, calling the other three robes to go down to the pit to save people, and if they didn't pull him up, he was afraid that he would choke to death by the water.
"What's going on?" The raven saw the movement on the river beach and rode over.
"General of the Hundred Cavalry, this person is not dead, there is still a breath." A knight reports to the raven.
Tu Buyeo struggled to open his heavy eyelids, several vague figures twitching in his eyes, he heard their voices, but he couldn't understand what they were saying.
"Help, help, me." Tu Buyeo used all his strength, squeezed out three words from his mouth with difficulty, and fainted to death after speaking.
The crow understood, the dead and resurrected slave in front of him was talking about Tang Yan, if there was no miscalculation, this person should be from the Tang Dynasty, just like the group of Tang slaves who were rescued before.
"It's getting late, so let's rest for the night. The four of you will heal him, and tomorrow you will send him back to the General for instructions. "The person in front of him was scarred all over his body, and it was a miracle in itself to be alive, perhaps out of sympathy, perhaps moved by the tenacious vitality of this person. Risking a possible violation of military orders, the crow made a decision to save the man.
In Ningyuan City, jubilant emotions contaminated every corner. The bright cavalry army that returned after a great victory brought back a large amount of supplies, and the general let go, slaughtering sheep and killing cattle, and everyone had a share of the delicious beef and sheep 'meat'. And tonight is a celebration feast, and the reward will not be overnight. According to the general's promise and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, not only are meritorious soldiers rewarded, but even the Ministry of Civil Affairs can also get a piece of the pie. Again, as the general said, without the support and dedication of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the price paid by the army for victory would have increased several times. On this point, those knights with obvious knife marks on cotton armor have a deep understanding, if it weren't for these practical equipment, I'm afraid that there would be more than 100 knights killed and wounded in this battle, and there are those medical workers led by Shi Yiwang, they are closely related to the lives of the soldiers, especially when the soldiers send the wounded robes to Shi Yiwang's medical hall, they can all feel that no one wants to be treated and cared for after they are injured.
That night, outside Ningyuan City, bonfires were lit and people were boiling.
On the edge of a bonfire, more than a dozen people sat together, roasting the 'fat' sheep on the tip of the flame, while chatting about the fruitful results.
"Xiao Lang, why didn't you make meritorious service this time? Is it a slippery trick? "A 'woman' in the Ministry of Civil Affairs is full of complaints, counting her husband. The soldier she called Xiao Lang was a member of the martial cavalry, and he was responsible for blocking the path of the Tubo knights with Wei Anguo, and at the same time defending Ningyuan City from being disturbed by the rout.
"Hey, I said don't make a mess for me, lady. Hold your breath when you talk about it. It's not that I don't want to, it's really no chance, you don't see, those wolf cubs of the cavalry have all robbed us of all the good 'meat' that was sent to our mouths. ”
Xiao Lang's face was full of stupidity. Although the general also gave credit to the martial cavalry, and there was no shortage of corresponding rewards, in the thoughts of these armed cavalry, the Silver Star warrior qualification obtained by exchanging the first rank was even more 'tempting' and 'confusing'. If you don't kill the enemy, you'll never have a chance to be the enviable Silver Star Warrior.
"Then you are stupid, I said, why didn't you fight for the opportunity to enter the cavalry in the first place? Cavalry has a future, riding on tall war horses, how mighty! Xiao Lang's wife was even more dissatisfied, she had instigated her husband to join the cavalry, but Xiao Lang said that it was the same in the martial cavalry, and he also used his general Wei Anguo to talk about things, and General Wei's merits in the cavalry were not inferior to the cavalry.
"That's it, that's it." In the crowd, the families of the soldiers echoed the coaxing. There is no way, seeing is believing, the families of the cavalry are all angry, and the tip of their noses is almost reaching the clouds in the sky.
Although the cavalry don't want to admit it, the situation is stronger than people. I heard that even that newcomer beard has gained two heads and has become one of the more than a dozen newly baked Silver Star Warriors. In this battle, only two of the fifteen Silver Star warriors were from the Armed Cavalry, and they were lucky enough to receive the 'fat' difference, and lay in ambush on the cliff at the exit of the mountain, waiting for the rabbit to sit back and enjoy the success.
The cavalry secretly made their own little calculations. In this battle, more than 2,000 horses were harvested, and the cavalry was no longer short of horses, they had already ridden one person and two horses, and after the battle, the cavalry was damaged and the personnel were not in order. It seems that the general will definitely expand the light cavalry, well, there is at least a shortage of more than a thousand, no matter what, this golden opportunity can no longer be missed. The warrior cavalry with the same mind tested each other's eyes, and suddenly found that there were many competitors!
