Chapter 243: Ghost Horse Road (I)

Ghost Horse Road, both sides are all undulating hills, this winding road is opened up in the mountains, it is said that there is a group of wild horses living here, all of them are extremely powerful, many wranglers want to capture this group of wild horses, but this group of horses is elusive, no one can catch it at all, and even many people who want to fight their ideas die in the mountains, so many people call that group of wild horses ghost horses, and the ghost horse road is also named after it.

Hu Yan Shouxin took a piece of lard and carefully wiped his musket, as a general, he generally only needs to command, and does not have to shoot with a musket himself, but in order to show the identity of the general, each general still issued a musket, but their musket is a special short gun, which can usually be placed in a holster and tied around the waist, which is much more refined than the long musket used by ordinary soldiers, of course, because the barrel is short, the power has also decreased a lot.

After carefully maintaining the musket, Huyan Shouxin immediately cleaned up his things, and then put his cold hands into thick leather gloves to warm up, although it is spring now, but because of the cold of spring, the night is also very cold, and now it is early morning, it is the coldest time of the day, and wiping the gun for a while makes him feel that his hands are frozen and unbearable.

"It's so cold this day, let's eat something!" At this moment, Cao Yu next to him also handed over a piece of dry food, their musketeer army is treated higher than the average army, such as dry food, other armies may only have dry cakes to eat, but they can have an extra piece of salted meat.

Hu Yan Shouxin took the cake, and then took a bite of the salted meat, the cake had no taste, but the salted meat was really salty, even if there was a cake, he still couldn't stand it, he opened the kettle and poured a mouthful of cold water, and then swallowed it.

"It's so unpalatable, the cooks who make these things should have their heads cut off and kicked!" Hu Yan Shouxin couldn't help but complain after eating a few bites, although the food in the military camp was usually unpalatable, but he could still eat it while it was hot, but this dry food was simply too unpalatable, although it was not the first time to eat it, but every time he felt difficult to swallow.

"Be content, we can at least have a piece of salted meat, when the general army goes out, they can only eat cakes, and they can't even see a little oil." Hearing this, Groove Mata couldn't help but laugh and said, Huyan Shouxin has been staying in the forbidden army, even the musket battalion is separated from the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is the best-treated army in the Great Song Dynasty, in comparison, the conditions of their border army are much worse, and he has suffered a lot when he was sent to the bottom of the army before.

Hu Yan Shouxin also knew that the treatment of the musketeer army was already good, so he didn't speak at the moment and gnawed on dry food, and then looked in the southeast direction and said, "Brother Cao, do you think this night attack can be successful?" ”

"There shouldn't be a problem, I know my dad too well, if he is not more than fifty percent sure, he generally won't take risks." Cao Ma was also gnawing on dry food at this time, and the certainty of fifty percent did not seem to be high, but there were too many variables in the war, so it was worth fighting to have fifty percent certainty.

"This is also true, the pacification envoy is known as the first general of our Great Song Dynasty, my father and his brothers are not convinced, but they will obey your father, and even they often say that if we have a few more Cao Wei in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that we will no longer be afraid of Northern Liao!" When Hu Yan Shouxin said to the end, he also said with an expression of admiration on his face, Cao Wei has almost reached the limit of the disciple of Jiangmen, which is also the goal he has pursued all his life.

"My father's health has not been very good in recent years, and when he was demoted by Ding Wei before, he even fell ill, and now I am worried that he can last a few years, but I believe that I will definitely not be worse than my father in the future!" Cao Yu first sighed a few words, and then patted his chest confidently.

"Good ambition, but I also believe that I will not be worse than anyone else in the future, and the appointment of the imperial court to me has also come down, let me go to Hebei to retrain a musketeer army, and I will lead it, then let's see who can do a better job of the musketeer?" Hu Yan Shouxin heard Cao Mata's words, and he was also ambitious at the moment.

Just after defeating Li Deming for the first time, the imperial court's edicts to Li Zhang and Huyan Shouxin all came down, Li Zhang needless to say, Liu E urged him to return to the capital quickly, and Huyan Shouxin was transferred to Baozhou, Hebei, that is, the border of the Liao State to train a musket army, mainly for the purpose of guarding against the Liao army.

"Okay, then let's compare, see if your Hebei musket army is powerful, or our northwest musket army is powerful!" Cao Yu immediately agreed when he heard Huyan Shouxin's words, he was two years older than Huyan Shouxin, but he was also a peer, and after this period of getting along, he also found that Huyan Shouxin's talent was not below him, which made the two of them compare, of course, this did not affect their friendship.

"Report~, five miles southeast of the discovery that there is a defeated army retreating to this side!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a spy rushing over to report to Cao Yu, which made both of them feel shocked, it seems that Cao Wei's sneak attack really achieved its goal, otherwise there would be no party defeat to retreat here.

"The whole army is ready, listen to my orders before acting!" Cao Mata immediately gave another order, and then the heralds spread his order to the whole army, and all his three thousand musketeers were ambushed on the east side of the road, because the west side was a cliff, and it was impossible to stand on it, and the west side of the mountain was not high, but it was steep, and it took them a lot of effort to go around to the other side to climb the mountain, and then ambush behind the hillside.

With Cao Mata's order, the musketeers were also immediately prepared, and the gloves they were wearing were also removed, because the musketeers had high requirements for the flexibility of their opponents, so when the weather was cold, gloves were almost the standard for the whole army, otherwise their hands would be frozen, which would greatly affect the speed at which they could fill their ammunition.

Just when the musket army was ready to shoot at any time, I saw that some party cavalry finally appeared on the road in the southeast direction, but compared to the time when they first arrived in Tuoyuan Village, they were all embarrassed now, most of them were wounded, and some of them were not even equipped with armor and weapons, obviously suffering a big defeat.

However, although the party members were embarrassed, they were still quite vigilant, and the first few horsemen rushed over, mainly to check whether there was an ambush, and behind them was the main force of the party people, but when this main force appeared, they were even more miserable, and even many party members did not even have horses, so they could only follow the cavalry with a long leg.

Looking at more and more party members, Cao Ma and Hu Yan were very calm and calm, and their four eyes kept patrolling among the party members, thinking of finding the real core team of the party members, which was actually Li Deming's personal guard, and at the same time they were secretly praying, hoping that Li Deming would not die in the previous sneak attack, so that they would have a chance to win the first prize.
