Chapter 253: Tailgating

"All obey!!"

Li Xingzhou said loudly.

"Jump off the pond and wash away everything you used to have!"

"Yes!!"

A moment later, Li Xingzhou asked Wuyang and all the cavalrymen to hold their own red uniforms, unicorn robes, and mountain armor.

"Whether you are a slave pariah, or a dignitary, here, there are only iron-blooded and loyal soldiers!"

"The red uniform is the glory of the warrior, and the unicorn uniform is the symbol of the hero!"

……

"Always remember that the sky above your head is the sky of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The thick soil under your feet is the land of Datang! The people behind him are the people of the Tang Dynasty."

.....

Swear to defend it! ”

"Swear to Defend Yourself!!"

Li Xingzhou's side.

All the sergeants changed into ordinary khaki soldiers' uniforms.

Dressed in a red-like military uniform and mountain armor.

Tie a robe embroidered with a unicorn.

Put on a glittering golden scarf.

All of them are heroic and majestic.

"Brothers, soldiers, are born to kill the enemy and defend the country!"

Li Xingzhou said loudly.

"This mission is special, and I can't tell you out loud here. All I can say is ...... We're going to teach the Turks a lesson! ”

"It's a hard lesson!"

"Let them feel fear from the depths of their hearts, and wake them up from nightmares in their deep sleep!"

"Let them regret it from now on and make enemies of Datang!"

Sergeants, blood boiling!

Guo Yuanzhen, who was in the distance, couldn't help blurting out praise, one word.

"Strong!"

Li Xingzhou raised his fist and said loudly.

"Turks, with wolves as totems!"

"Now let's go and tell them what a wolf is!"

"What is the division of tigers and wolves!"

"What is a stoic, strong, brave, and invincible army of tigers and wolves!"

"From this moment on, we have to aspire to be ...... The totem of the Turks! ”

"Let them only dare to look up, awe and worship!"

"Brothers......"

Li Xingzhou's voice roared hoarsely, just like Wang's rare voice.

"Do you have faith?!"

"Yes!"

"We are totems!!"

.

When night fell, Li Xing rode a hundred horses every week, rushing out of the city pass of Shuozhou like a wind.

Everywhere you go, all the city passes are opened one after another.

Although there are only 100 horsemen, the majesty is like a surging torrent, such as thousands of troops and horses.

Guo Yuanzhen stood on the gate of the Great Wall.

Looking at the dark night, Li Xingzhou's team quickly disappeared into the vast night.

His face was tense, and his heart felt like a huge stone had been pressed against him.

Almost out of breath.

"General, why don't you stop him?"

Guo Yuanzhen's side, the deputy general who knew the inside story whispered.

"No one can stop it." Guo Yuanzhen said. ”

"My subordinates know."

The adjutant whispered.

"But now at this juncture, if he has any mistakes, the general's fate and future ......"

Guo Yuan raised his hand and motioned for him to swallow back the words that followed.

Of course, he knew what the adjutant general meant by this "critical eye".

Emperor Zetian suddenly threw an olive branch.

"Please" Guo Yuanzhen to help "take care" of Li Xingzhou.

The implication is quite obvious.

The first is to ensure that Li Xingzhou's life is safe.

The second is to make meritorious contributions and win honors and honors together.

At first, Guo Yuanzhen was very troubled and a little disdainful when he received such a "message".

In his opinion, how could a noble marquis like Li Xingzhou, who was born in a noble and pampered manner, understand military affairs.

It is nothing more than the Emperor Zetian sent to the army to monitor the black tooth Changzhi, and the white wolf with empty gloves mixed with some military exploits, and after returning to the dynasty, he was justifiably promoted.

The concubine of Princess Taiping, the beloved daughter of the Emperor of the Heavens, is naturally a little more beautiful.

It's better to be a popular "big hero".

When he met Li Xingzhou, Guo Yuanzhen realized that he was completely wrong.

This Li Xingzhou is even more meritorious than him Guo Yuanzhen.

Moreover, he is definitely not an embroidered pillow for "mixed military merit".

When fighting Tibet, the snow fell on Shanzhou on a snowy night.

Based on this alone, Li Xingzhou is definitely an extraordinary character!

"Ruthless character!"

Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but spit out these three words.

The adjutant whispered to the side.

"General, we have to plan ahead for now. If he succeeds, what will the general be? ”

"How can he fail or even die, and what should he do?"

"The worst-case scenario is nothing more than the way it is now."

Guo Yuanzhen frowned tightly and said.

"Maybe my old Guo deserves to feed the horses on the frontier all his life."

"I'm afraid it's going to be worse......"

The lieutenant general was worried.

"Although Li Xingzhou made a military order, saying that life and death are none of anyone's business."

"But the order returns the order, and the love returns to the love. Not to mention anything else, if Princess Taiping loses her Ailang, the consequences will ......"

Guo Yuanzhen smiled indifferently.

"So what? I had already thought of this layer at the pre-war meeting, so I tried desperately to shut his mouth and prevent him from getting into danger.

"But he said 'I insist' three times in a row.

"At that time, I knew that he definitely had an idea in his heart, and he definitely didn't come to the army to walk around and have fun."

"So I have the self-knowledge that I, Guo someone, can't and don't even dare to stop him."

"If I use strong tactics to stop him from sending troops once, it will ostensibly be for his own good and to avoid him from danger."

"But in fact, I directly wiped out his chances of coming out."

"Hehe, that result, I'm afraid it's not much better than Princess Taiping losing her love Lang." ”

"So...... I'd rather take a gamble! ”

The adjutant general suddenly realized and said busily

"So, is Li Xingzhou determined to do some miracles to go back?

……

But why? His identity is so noble, and he will become Princess Taiping's concubine, what is the use of military achievements? ”

"The hearts of the royal family and nobles, we rough people can't figure it out.

The subtlety above the court is not something we can understand.

I only know that Li Xingzhou is not a fool, he will not spend a good life drinking for no reason, but he has to run to the army to suffer, and now he is joking with his own life. ”

Guo Yuanzhen said.

"If he fails this mission or even dies in the desert, that's his fate. Guo can only follow the bad luck and has no choice.

If he really did a miracle ......"

"How?"

Guo Yuanzhen showed a bitter smile and shook his head gently,

"Perhaps, Guo's 30-year military career in the border is really coming to an end."

"The general is saying that if Li Xingzhou has made this miraculous feat, then the Emperor of Heaven will summon you back to the court?"

Guo Yuanzhen nodded and said.

"Li Xingzhou is the son-in-law and confidant of Emperor Zetian, and he is also an extremely intelligent person. According to the usual practice in the army, if Li Xingzhou's surprise attack can be successful,

That is the merit made under my 'command', and naturally I will have half of the credit for being the head of the Shuofang Dao march.

Even if Emperor Zetian intended to reuse and promote Li Xingzhou, how could he only reward his subordinates and not his officials against normal sense?

In this way, whether Guo is willing or not, he can only return to the court with Li Xingzhou to receive rewards and accept the favor of Emperor Zetian. ”

The adjutant general suddenly realized and said in surprise:

"In this way, the Emperor of Heaven intends to tie you and Li Xingzhou together?"

"You only knew?"

Guo Yuanzhen smiled bitterly,

"Brother Shanhou of the royal nobles is already difficult to serve. Unexpectedly, Li Xingzhou is still a ruthless character who dares to gamble with his life.

There is no way, Guo can only gamble with him! ”

"This is called, wealth and danger?"

"Ask for a fart, it's obviously to watch the sky and eat!"

Guo Yuanzhen scolded,

"I'd rather go to the Black Sand by myself, and at least the success or failure is in my own hands.

Now, my success or failure, life and death, and the rise and fall of the old Guo family, all depend on Li Xingzhou......

Destiny is in the hands of someone else.

It's a fucking bad feeling! ”

......

Li Xing walked out of the city pass on Monday, looking at the north and galloping.

It is a completely desolate Gobi, not to mention inhabited, and even there is little vegetation.

The Great Wall has stood for thousands of years, and the area around it has always been a "military exclusion zone", so it is impossible for anyone to graze the herds, and even some pastures have been artificially eliminated.

Every year, it is set on fire and burned, and after burning for thousands of years, it is naturally a barren.

The capital of the northern nomadic khanate was called the "Tooth Tent".

After proclaiming himself Khan, Ajana Funian set up his tent in the city of Black Sand, northeast of Shuozhou.

In order to avoid encountering the Turkic army that traveled back and forth between Heisha and Yunzhou.

Li Xingzhou could only lead the team in a roundabout way, crossing the vast Gobi for one or two hundred miles.

Then turn to Dodge and attack the Black Sands.

It is one thing to march in such an environment, with a lack of water and food, a huge temperature difference between day and night, and difficult conditions.

Everywhere in the desert looks the same.

It is especially easy to get disoriented, especially at night.

But Li Xingzhou has no other strengths, and his sense of direction is definitely "world-class".

A group of more than 100 people followed Li Xingzhou at a gallop forward at an extremely fast speed.

The leader is Yan Shun.

Da Xiong and Park Jingtai were not there, so Li Xingzhou naturally took Yan Shun with him.

Surprise attack, surprise attack.

Pay attention to a strange word.

And absolute combat power is naturally indispensable.

Behind Yan Shun was a ten-horse Khitan warrior led by the Khitan Abaoji.

On the grassland, the Han people are still very eye-catching.

There are these Khitans to cover.

Security is still strong.

The left wing is the king, and it is rare to bring more than 30 people.

On the right flank was Ma Sui, who also carried more than 30 people.

In the rear is Xing Junya with more than 20 people, the son of the leader of the horse gang, and he is also a figure who is good at cavalry in Zuo Yiwei.

The ten people of the Chinese army were naturally carried by Wuyang.

They all chose good horses, and each of them rode one and led another.

Keep changing horses in the middle of the process to maintain the horse's physical strength.

The previous equestrian was really not practiced in vain, and everyone didn't have to stop changing horses halfway.

Directly turned over and jumped and changed, like an ape jumping and flying among the trees.

Li Xingzhou took the lead, and Xing Junya's horse was the fastest, so he padded at the end or cruising on the left and right sides to prevent anyone from falling behind, falling off the horse or other emergencies.

After running for about thirty miles, Xing Junya suddenly caught up with Li Xingzhou.

"Hou Shan, there is a tail in the back!"

Li Xingzhou frowned.

"We just left Shuozhou, and this is still the Tang Army's sphere of influence, how can there be a tail to keep up with us? …… How many people? ”

"It's like just one!"

Li Xingzhou was stunned at first, and then suddenly stunned in his heart.

"Herald, stop!"

Li Xingzhou reined in the horse and began to run in an arc, and Xing Junya lowered his horse speed and began to signal the horse team to stop from behind.

The cavalry had to stop like this.

Otherwise, the front and rear collided with each other, killing and wounding, and the army could not be defeated.

"Crossbow! .....

Listen to my orders, don't shoot arrows casually! ”

"No!"

Even if there is only one "tail".

Everything was cautious outside the march, and Li Xingzhou ordered all the staff to be on guard.

More than 100 riding cloths have become a large fan.

If it was really an enemy scout who was chasing from the rear, it would fall into everyone's range.

A horse came galloping, and the visibility was very poor in the night.

The rider was in a hurry, and did not seem to notice the horse team in front of him, and suddenly stopped.

It is also strange that Li Xingzhou and the others acted too quickly, and in an instant, they changed from a galloping state to a silent and hidden state.

Posed in a fan-shaped ambush state.

The rider came galloping, unsuspecting, and very eager.

It even seems a little presumptuous.

Li Xingzhou shook his head.

"Not an enemy scout. Lao Xing, you want to live! ”

Xing Junya thrust the spear into the ground, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly.

Even the man and the horse popped out like a compressed spring.

Leap three feet away and shoot away at that horse!

Like a cannonball!

The sergeants opened their eyes again.

When facing the enemy, Xing Junya finally showed real kung fu.

This hand-riding skill alone can be called shocking.

It's like people and horses are in one heart!

The two riders looked like they were about to collide with each other.

Xing Junya got the strength and speed just right.

The speed of the two horses rushing against each other was extremely fast, and the other party couldn't react at all.

Xing Junya only needs to reach out, and the knight on the horse will inevitably be captured.

Immediately capturing the enemy general alive is just a "basic skill" for a "man on horseback" like him.

Just when Xing Junya stretched out his arm and was about to catch the knight on the horse.

The other party was not the slightest bit surprised.

The whip that reacted unusually quickly was whipped at Xing Junya's face.

Xing Jun's teeth sank, and he changed his move in an instant, and quickly grabbed the tail of the whip with one hand and pulled it hard.

Follow the horse's momentum to pull the opponent off the horse.

He's quite confident in his powers!

As a result, Xing Junya did it.

The other party was indeed lifted out of the saddle, but did not fall directly to the ground.

Instead, it rises into the air with the force of this pull.

His feet stepped on the saddle, and the whole person floated like a kite.

"Drink" with an angry reprimand.

The knight actually volleyed a leg.

kicked at Xing Junya's head.

Xing Junya shrank his head to avoid a slight surprise in his heart, good kung fu!

The knight threw his whip and fell to the ground.

After a few rolls in a row, he unloaded his force and flicked up, and the long sword was unsheathed with a "bang"!

Hearing the knight's shout, Li Xingzhou's heart was already half cold!

"Bastard, don't stop yet!!"

......

Li Xingzhou shouted loudly, and everyone was taken aback.

More precisely, it should be "scolding".

And the tone was strange, not like the way he usually scolded the soldiers.

When the knight heard this, he immediately relented.

He put his sword in its sheath, and stood a little farther away, neither running away nor coming.

Xing Junya rode slowly past "him" on a horse, stunned.

"Woman?!"

A woman has such a strong skill!

All the sergeants were also taken aback, and Wuyang hurriedly slapped his horse and came forward.

"Shanhou, what's the situation?"

"I'm still stunned there, don't come here soon!"

Li Xingzhou shouted angrily, obviously really angry.

The knight walked slowly.

Dressed in cavalry mountain armor, wearing a green dragon cloak.

Guo Yuanzhen's guards dressed up.

Everyone didn't have torches, and only Li Xingzhou, Yan Shun, and Wuyang, who were close to her, saw her face clearly.

Li Baishi!
