227 The sound of horses' hooves is like thunder
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south, which is such a night.
Jianwei led the army, surging in one direction like a tide in an unfamiliar area, although the moonlight was bright, and it was not dark underneath, but the people and horses were flooded like that, and it was also a cloud, and the faces were blurred a few steps away. After walking for half the night, Jianwei instinctively felt that something was wrong, he called the deputy general, and said in a consultative tone: "We were still cautious, and we were thinking about how to avoid the Dongxia army all the way, why didn't we meet them along the way?" If Yuyang is supplying upwards, he should encounter their army and Ding Zhuang somewhat. ”
The lieutenant is experienced, but he is inert.
He lowered his voice and said, "Major General." This is different from us in the Central Plains, surrounded by wilderness and hillsides, our march is not fast, once separated by two or three miles, sandwiched between a hillside, the two teams of people and horses are passing by, and it is difficult to find, who can know who? The route we made for the march was originally to avoid the main roads and places of residence in Eastern Xia, and it was normal that we didn't meet anyone, but isn't it just right that we didn't meet people? ”
Isn't it just right that you can't meet it?
Proven that the march is highly concealed?
For some reason, Jianwei was still suspicious in his heart, but he had no experience as an actual general, and he didn't have enough confidence in judgment...... The adjutant general assured him of his many years of military career, and he also felt that he was looking for trouble. But it really doesn't feel right, I remember my grandfather taught the art of war, don't be naïve enough to think that the real situation you encounter will be special, and whenever you want, you must prepare for the worst.
He ordered the scout to be released a little farther away to feel a little more at ease.
As a soldier, after fighting with the Eastern Xia army, he was able to get an impression of his military qualities, and his opponent was invincible and difficult to shake.
This trick and attack Yuyang is not a last resort.
It's like a card that you play and play, and when you know that you can't be sure of winning, you rush to take risks and change your way of playing, trying to reverse the unfavorable outcome with change. Once the current military operation of the sneak attack on Yuyang is successful, or the sneak attack on Yuyang is unsuccessful but disrupts the supply of Dongxia, it is a great merit, you must know that in the war with the world-famous Dongxia King Dia Bird, the decisive stroke has its own writing, what a glorious thing it should be, even the grandfather will follow the light, the first time from the king to the army, beheaded the enemy general, jumped to the cavalry general, and then reversed the war...... What does that mean? The door tiger is better than the blue.
But on the other hand, what if it fails?
This result also weighed heavily on Jianwei's chest like a burden, throwing away his armor and his grandfather's people, and burying tens of thousands of cavalry in the empire to the enemy.
Once the army is defeated, what face do you have to return to the court, what face does you have to return to the Central Plains, and what face does you have to see your grandfather who has been fighting all his life...... In particular, this proposition itself is proposed to build yì.
Half of his heart is good, half is bad, sometimes biased, sometimes intertwined and chaotic, Jianwei uses great perseverance to control his own reason, so that he will not think about good things, nor will he be self-destructive.
At night, the sound of marching and the movement of the distance from time to time are near.
The strange sound from high in the sky and from afar, he asked his grandfather when he was a child, and his grandfather said that it was the heart drum of a warrior, from the sky, and the will of a strong man.
This movement symbolizes the invincibility of heaven and earth.
It is precisely because of the majesty of heaven and earth that there is deterrence and fear.
But what is this in front of real men?
They can be alone in the wilderness at night, in the mountains and forests, in deep water...... The sound followed closely followed, but it showed that there was no abnormality, and the power of heaven and earth was not for one person.
What does this sound like?
Like a drum beating a pole drum but not a drum, unless it is the big drum of heaven and earth, like the sound of water churning but not the sound of water, unless it is the heavenly river on the clouds through the valley to the ...... Listen carefully, listen carefully. Suddenly, Jianwei grabbed the reins of the horse, and because of the quick reaction of the movement, the horse still rattled despite the halter.
He looked up at the sky, moving with the stars and the moon.
The guards beside him reacted quickly, surrounded him, and shouted, "General." How are you? Did you step on a hole in the ground? ”
He quickly waved his hand to stop the crowd, and there was horror in his eyes.
That's right, it's fear.
The sound of the sky was wrong, and my grandfather made himself familiar with the world, not just to coax a child to play, but to let him distinguish all kinds of natural sounds.
But now, he was sure, there was something mixed in the eastward direction of the sky.
He jumped off his horse and fell to the ground with swiftness, and in a moment he asked for a hollow leather cylinder, which he put on the ground and listened to.
Horseshoe.
It was faint, but it was certain that it was the sound of horses' hooves, and it was not a ride or two.
Is this Dongxia going to pass the army, or is he coming straight to himself?
He gasped and sat down on the floor, a hint of bitterness on his face. He told Sù: "Hurry up and find Adjutant General Chao and ask him to inform the whole army to be on guard." "Afraid of chaos in the night, Vice General Chao was not far from the coach, and he came quickly with people, and when he saw Jianwei's appearance, he quickly dismounted and fell to the ground, but he? But he quickly raised his head blankly and asked Jian Fu: "Can't you hear anything?" Is there an enemy cavalry? ”
Jianwei demanded: "Immediately send an order, so that the soldiers can hide their vigilance and be ready to fight at any time." ”
Vice Admiral Chao asked, "Is there really a voice?" ”
In Jianwei's anxiety, he tried to tell Sù: "Every now and then there will be a herd of wild animals on the grassland. ”
Jianwei roared, "What kind of group do I care?" Let you pass the order. Immediately. ”
After roaring, a sharp sound came out, and in the sky, I don't know whether it was a crow or an unknown bird, the black flower jumped over the ridge line of the soil slope, fluttered everywhere, and cried, and then, in a woodland not too far away, a large number of birds were also startled, and they danced wildly, and they were extremely terrifying.
Some of the soldiers exclaimed, and turned here and there to see the birds, and the horses were restless.
Maybe in their minds, it's asking, why are there so many birds?
Is it a ghost with great powers?
Or a large enemy legion? The guards beside Jianwei were stunned and said repeatedly: "How can there be so many birds." How can there be so many birds? ”
The direction in which the bird flies is the direction pointed by the enemy horseman.
There is no doubt that it is not passing by, but that it does not bend and rushes straight to it.
Jianwei was extremely worried about the chaos of the soldiers, so he pulled out his sharp blade and shouted loudly while walking around to appease: "Don't mess up." Be prepared. Lots of birds. There was a flock of migratory birds on the grassland, and they were blown up by the horses' hooves. The enemy's cavalry is coming towards us, and all men and horses are forming their formations and getting ready. ”
The sound of horses' hooves thundered.
Now Li Sihun, who is already a general of the military government, led the boundless, black cavalry, pressed into a swift riding line......
The autumn wind had not yet risen, but the smell of earth smoke had already spread for miles.
