Zuo Liangyu left the camp in a hurry, and when he left, he also set a fire in the camp. Burned all kinds of supplies. As soon as they walked on the front foot, the cavalry of the revolutionary army on the back foot chased after them. At this time, the camp had also become an empty camp - the auxiliaries and infantry in the battalion fled on their own immediately after Zuo Liangyu fled.

Huang Guo, who was carrying the light cavalry, looked at the flames in the camp and thought: "This fire has just burned, Zuo Liangyu and they shouldn't have gone far, but this fire has just burned, and there should be a lot of things that have not been burned." ”

Huang Guo's mission is to follow Zuo Liangyu and not lose his traces, but it does not include fighting Zuo Liangyu. Because the cavalry under Huang Guo, whether it is equipment or horse fighting skills, is not as good as those of Zuo Liangyu. And in Zuo Liangyu's barracks, there must be a lot of valuable things, if they are burned down like this, it will be a pity. So Huang Guo thought about it for a while, and ordered his cavalry to be divided into two, leaving half of it to be carried by his son Huang Laiheng to fight the fire and grab things, and the other half followed him to continue to track Zuo Liangyu.

In this way, Huang Guo chased after another section with five hundred cavalry, and saw smoke and dust rising from a distance, Huang Guo estimated that this must be the fleeing Zuo Liangyu's department, so he chased over there. After chasing for more than 30 miles, in the yellow dust in the sky, I vaguely saw the shadows of some cavalry. Huang Guo ordered to chase closer, but he didn't expect that as they chased closer and closer, the billowing smoke and dust suddenly faded.

Huang Guo shouted "not good" in his heart, and chased after him for a while, and sure enough, he saw some branches on the ground, which was obviously someone dragging these things with horses to run, so as to raise dust and pretend to be a large team of people. Huang Guo looked ahead and saw dozens of cavalry speeding away in the distance.

Knowing that he had been fooled, Huang Guo spat on the ground from his horse and said, "These dog things! Then he turned to the crowd and said, "Let's go back and look for it." ”

……

But it was said that Huang Laiheng dismounted with hundreds of cavalry to put out the fire. However, there is no water source in this temporary camp, and there is a river nearby, but this river is a little far away, and it takes a lot of time to run it. It's okay to carry water for cooking, but if you want to put out a fire, it's definitely too late. So Huang Laiheng didn't think about putting out the fire, he just grabbed something wholeheartedly. There are a lot of good things left in this barracks. For example, the soldiers who were originally left in the camp have fled, but they have left behind their armor and weapons. Although there are not many, there are also quite a few armors. In addition, there was food, as well as other weapons of various colors, rattan cards, and vehicles, which made Huang Laiheng so busy that he couldn't breathe. Seeing that the armor was snatched out, the knives and guns were snatched out, and the Ning-style bed of the talented lady was also ...... No, in the end, this is not the case. In short, Huang Laiheng was busy, and suddenly a strong wind blew. As the saying goes, the fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire. As soon as this gust of wind blew, the flames in the barracks suddenly rose a foot or two high. The sparks scattered everywhere, and the tents that had not been burned were also burned. Huang Laiheng looked around and found that there was smoke and fire on all sides, although the highest place of the flame was still a little far away, but the rolling heat wave had already made his face a little hot and painful.

Huang Laiheng knew that he couldn't grab things here anymore, and it wouldn't take a while for the barracks to burn on all sides, and if he didn't go out, he would be trapped in the fire.

"Go back, get out!" Huang Laiheng shouted.

It's just the whirring sound of the flames burning around it, and the crackling sound of all kinds of burning things exploding. Although Huang Laiheng has always had a loud voice, now his shouts can't suppress these voices at all. Fortunately, he still has a whistle around his neck. In the military, it is common to use a variety of sound-producing gadgets to convey military orders, such as drums, gongs, and horns. And in the revolutionary army, another common thing used to convey orders is the whistle. The whistle is clear and penetrating, making it easy to hear even in noisy noises. In addition, it is very easy to blow out various rhythm changes, making it easy to pass on commands.

Huang Laiheng hurriedly picked up the whistle, stuffed it into his mouth, and kept blowing two short and one long, while leading the horse and retreating. Or get up quickly, Huang Laiheng's hair is burned. When the exit came, he asked the others to report the numbers, and there was no one missing, but one horse was missing. When asked, it was the cavalry Zhang Bo's horse that was lost in the fire.

"Zhang Bo, you kid can do it! As a cavalryman, he lost his horse! Huang Laiheng squinted at Zhang Bo and sneered.

"Suddenly, a wooden platform fell down, and the horse was startled. I didn't hold on for a moment, so I ran. Zhang Bo replied aggrievedly.

"Everyone's horses are not surprised, but yours is surprised?" Huang Laiheng actually knew that many of the horses that his cavalry sat on had just been captured, and the cavalry and horses were not very familiar with each other, let alone mutual trust or anything. But a lot of things that Huang Laiheng had just moved out were swept up by the fire again, (in order to grab as many things as possible, he didn't move too far, and as a result, Dafeng together, many of these things were involved again.) At this time, I saw that I had lost a horse, and I was inevitably in a bad mood, so I had this sentence.

"General, I'll go in and find it." Zhang Bo blushed and said.

"Gotta don't say anything stupid." Huang Laiheng said, "Look at the fire, can you still go in?" Now it's nothing more than you lose a horse, and if you run in stupidly, then it's not just that you have to lose a horse, it's Lao Tzu who is going to be embarrassed! Don't say such stupid things before it's too late. If you feel sorry for losing your horse, we will have to chase Zuo Liangyu in a while, and when we catch up, you kid has the ability to grab a horse back. ”

Seeing that the things couldn't be grabbed now, Huang Laiheng left a few people to look at the little things that were snatched out, let the others get on the horse, and followed him to the south to chase Zuo Liangyu.

Huang Laiheng chased all the way and chased for another hour, Huang Laiheng hurried to catch up, but he didn't catch up with his father-in-law. Now, it's getting darker. It is the last quarter moon. There was no moon in the first half of the night, and as soon as the sun went down, it was pitch black.

The revolutionary army had a lot of experience marching in such dark nights. Before the sun set, Huang Laiheng asked everyone to dismount, took out the rope, and asked everyone to pull the rope with their hands to avoid getting separated in the night.

The afterglow of the sun faded away, and the surroundings quickly became dark. Although countless stars lit up in the sky at once, this faint light was not enough to illuminate the surroundings, and the whole land was still dark and dreary, like a sleeping sea. However, with the stars, it was relatively easy to identify the direction, and everyone continued to the south with one foot higher and one foot lower together.

I walked like this for a while, rested for a while, rested for a while, and walked for more than an hour. And the moon began to rise. By the faint moonlight, Huang Laiheng looked in all directions, wanting to see if any of his subordinates were left behind. However, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his body.

The number of people around him has not decreased, but has increased a lot. In the darkness just now, he and his hundreds of cavalry inexplicably walked into another large group of cavalry!

Through the faint moonlight, Huang Laiheng carefully observed that although the clothes on those cavalry were similar to everyone else (whether it was the official army or the revolutionary army, the uniforms of their soldiers were actually not much different. This is because the uniforms of the soldiers of the revolutionary army are actually derived from the capture, but the color of the uniforms of the officers and soldiers is more consistent, and the revolutionary army is just a white cloth scarf around the neck for easy identification), but he still quickly recognized that these extra cavalry were the cavalry of the official army - but it turned out that after chasing him in the dark for a while, he somehow actually chased after the official army.

Now the moon has come out, and it is rising higher and brighter. At the moment, the officers and soldiers have not yet discovered that these people have been mixed in, but after a while, they will definitely be able to see it. These officers and soldiers are all Zuo Liangyu's family members, and when it is their turn to fight, they are far above their own people, and at that time, their own people will definitely be a dead end. Now that the moon is out, it must be too late to exit silently.

Huang Laiheng trembled, and in fear, he suddenly remembered the story of a famous general of the previous generation that Xuan Yi had told them, Su Lie and Su Dingfang. In that year, Su Lie accompanied the military god Li Jing of the same generation to attack the Turks at night and defeated the main Turkic force. In the subsequent pursuit, Su Lie led more than 200 cavalry, encountered the night fog, lost his way, and actually marched to the vicinity of the Turkic king's tent in a daze, the fog suddenly dissipated, Su Lie did not have time to retreat, so he took advantage of the fact that the Turks had not had time to react, and first started to kill people and set fire. The Turks were newly defeated, and it was the people's hearts that were panicked, and at this time, they were suddenly attacked again in the fog, and they suddenly became a mess. The Turkic Khan fled with a small number of guards, and then mounted the main force of the Tang army led by the general Zhang Baoxiang, who surrounded him from the other side, and was captured alive.

Thinking of this story, Huang Laiheng suppressed the fear in his heart, he slowly reached over with one hand, grasped the hilt of the knife, and quietly pulled the rope rhythmically a few times with the other hand, sending a warning signal to the other soldiers. Then he pulled out his knife sharply and stabbed it into the ribs of an officer next to him, while shouting, "Hugh is leaving, Zuo Liangyu!" ”
