Chapter 525: Two Thousand Dead Guards

A gust of wind blew on the flat ground, black clouds rolled across the sky, and the wind and dust began to blow on the ground.

This is a sign that heavy rain is coming, Mao Wenlong was riding a horse in the middle of the Chinese army, and a gust of wind and sand blew, which made people have to squint.

"Boom ......"

A thunderclap exploded on the ground, and the thunder was so loud that the war horses of the Dongjiang Army were in a commotion.

"Damn the weather, it doesn't rain early or late, but it's raining at this time." The horses of Chen Jisheng's cavalry battalion were all shocked by the thunder, and the entire army was suddenly in a hurry.

"Chief soldier, why don't we stop for the time being, prepare for the rain, and wait for this heavy rain to pass before we go on our way." Cheng Zuo spoke to Mao Wenlong.

"Give the order to go down and take shelter from the heavy rain for the time being." Mao Wenlong did not hesitate and immediately agreed to Chengzuo's proposal.

As soon as Mao Wenlong's order was given, Cheng Zuo didn't have time to give the order, but found that the huge raindrops actually fell down.

"Crackling ......"

The pouring rain fell unprepared, and it hurt slightly when it hit people's bodies.

Chengzuo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately conveyed Mao Wenlong's order, and the army began to stop, formed a formation on the spot, and then took out the tarpaulin to build the tent seams, and relied on the carriage to support the tents one by one to temporarily shelter from the rain on the side of the official road.

The speed of the guards was not unpleasant, but it was still a step slower than the sudden heavy rain, and by the time they had put up the tents to shelter from the rain. Mao Wenlong and the others were already drenched in the rain, and the rain flowed down the gaps in the armor into the underwear, and the slippery feeling made people feel uncomfortable for a while.

Mao Wenlong finally hid in the crack of the tent at the invitation of his personal guards, and helped Mao Wenlong take off his armor, which made Mao Wenlong, who was uncomfortable, slightly relieved.

Haoda handed Mao Wenlong a clean towel, wiped his face, and looked at the pouring rain outside, Mao Wenlong frowned.

"It looks like the rain won't stop for a while." After some observation, Mao Wenlong made a conclusion.

As soon as Mao Wenlong's voice fell, Cheng Zuo, who was also wet, didn't know what to drink in the distance at this time? It seems that something inappropriate happened to the former army?

Through the confused waterline, Mao Wenlong couldn't see it very clearly, so he immediately went to check what was happening ahead?

Haoda didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed out in the rain, and disappeared in the vast rain in an instant.

Soon after, Haoda returned again, and he still carried a thin man in his hand. The two of them were also drenched, as if they had just been fished out of the pond.

Haoda came into the tent, threw the man he was carrying directly in front of Mao Wenlong, and then raised his foot and stepped on it fiercely: "Chief soldier, when the front army was preparing to build a tent to shelter from the rain, it was suddenly robbed by more than a dozen people of unknown origin. This person is one of them, and a few others have fled when they see that the situation is not good, and General Chengzuo is leading his troops to pursue him at this moment. ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at the man on the ground carefully, and asked, "Who are you who dare to come and rob the army's bags." ”

The thin man on the ground still had a little temper, and he didn't respond to Mao Wenlong's question, tilting his head with an unconvinced look.

Haoda would not be polite to him, and the force on his feet suddenly increased, and the big foot put a heavy pressure on the man's chest, which suddenly made the man almost out of breath. The originally dark face will already be suffocated red.

"Boy, robbing the army's supplies, he should have been executed on the spot, but now when he asks you, he still dares to pretend to be backbone......" Haoda kept scolding while kneading the man.

Mao Wenlong waved his hand to stop Haoda from continuing, and then said again: "Say it, if you don't want to die unexplained." ”

The expression on the man's face began to become hesitant, his eyes widened, and he was about to start the torture again, the man was frightened, and suddenly spoke: "The little ones are the people who escaped from Liaodong, and we heard that there was about to be a war there, so they all escaped." Since we had already run out of food, we were so hungry that we saw that there was a large army marching here, so we thought of grabbing it. ”

Mao Wenlong obviously didn't believe what the man in front of him said, according to what he said just now, there were only a dozen of these fleeing people. With these dozen ordinary people rushing to rob the marching army of 100,000, how can there be such a stupid and stupid thief in the world?

And the man in front of him is a smart man at first glance, and everything shows that this man is lying. Mao Wenlong's face sank suddenly, he had already sensed that things didn't seem to be so simple.

Sure enough, when Mao Wenlong was still pondering here, there was chaos outside, and the Dongjiang Army seemed to have been attacked. There was constant shouting from outside, and it seemed that the commotion was not small.

Haoda didn't need Mao Wenlong's orders this time, he kicked the man directly in front of Haoxiao, and he controlled it. Then he turned and rushed out of the tent again, and ran towards the place where the commotion had taken place.

Mao Wenlong directly gave Hao Xiao a look, and asked him to take the man aside to torture him, and make sure he told the truth.

Hao Xiao was overjoyed, he liked torturing people the most, and quickly agreed, and after ordering someone to tie the man up strongly, he took the person directly out of the tent, and did not know where to interrogate.

Mao Wenlong didn't interfere with Haoxiao, and let him take people away.

Haoda didn't come back so soon this time, and the pouring rain still showed no signs of stopping, and the crackling rain drowned out a lot of the noise outside. It wasn't until Mao Wenlong could no longer hear the faint commotion outside that Haoda hurriedly came back.

"Commander-in-chief, suddenly a group of people attacked the army, killing dozens of people, and the rest have all fled. Do you want to send troops to pursue it now? Haoda explained the ins and outs of the matter to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Let the soldiers guard their posts, without my orders, no one is allowed to act privately, and those who dare to disobey will be killed!" ”

"Yes!" After responding loudly, he rushed out to convey Mao Wenlong's order.

Hao Xiao quickly turned back and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, after our interrogation, that person has already spit out the truth just now. ”

"Who the hell are they, and what are they here for?" Mao Wenlong asked two questions in a row.

"Qiyu General Soldier, these people are all in the same group, there are two thousand people, and they are indeed from Liaodong. However, it was not ordinary people, but generals under Wu Sangui. ”

"Wu Sangui's people?" Mao Wenlong was taken aback.

"Exactly, according to the man, they are in charge of the trip that came to harass our army, and did not let us reach Liaodong too smoothly." Haoxiao said truthfully.
