Chapter 16: The Water Dragon Exits
All the soldiers left in the stronghold had already gathered in front of the tent, and Gu Changsheng and his party were no exception, but they had no army and no nationality, so they could only be in the outermost periphery. Gu Changsheng and the others took a cursory look, and the Zhenbei Army left behind was only 2,000 people.
Liu Zhongxing squinted his eyes and looked over, although the heavy rain obscured his vision, he still recognized that the person in front of him was not His Highness. His Royal Highness is not in the barracks at the moment, and the person who is speaking in front now is probably His Highness's general, that is, the deputy general.
Half an hour passed, and the military orders were passed down layer by layer.
Roughly speaking, the general had an order to order all of them to give up their excess armaments, travel lightly, and sneak attack the Beiyan Horse Farm in the southwest mountain col, and take the horse farm while the rain is still clear to see the road ahead.
The soldiers were very fast, and there was nothing left in the barracks, so no one took five days of dry food and set off directly. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the road was getting harder and harder, but the Zhenbei Army was indeed walking faster and faster.
Skirting a hill, you can see a large grassland, and now the heavy rain has obscured the horse farm, and only a hazy outline can be seen. All the horses were gathered at the bottom of the barn, and they knew that there was no good fruit to eat when they walked around.
The front army stopped, and Gu Changsheng also stopped, although in his opinion, this horse farm didn't need to be deployed at all. So many people will be discovered no matter how they divide their troops, but this heavy rain happens to be their invisibility cloak, and even if they know about it, they will definitely be able to take it in one fell swoop if they are unprepared.
Even if you are prepared, you must take it.
The whole army was deployed for a while, the military flag was pointed, and the Zhenbei army rushed straight to the racecourse.
There is no suspense, there is no suspense in controlling the horse farm, Beiyan is worthy of being a country on horses, just such a small horse farm is enough for two thousand people to be equipped with three to four good horses each.
Gu Changsheng and the others were also assigned a large number of horses, although they were all chicks, and they could only control one horse if they died, but now they were one person and three horses. The only one among them who can do it is Jin Wuyi, who used to be a hunter, and everyone else can only control one horse.
Zhang Jun and the others looked at Jin Wuyi's equestrian skills, not to mention how envious they were, but Jin Wuyi said very stinkily: "Don't look at it, you can't learn it, I started riding horses at the age of ten, and I can only do it to such an extent now." ”
Liu Zhongxing echoed: "We should do what we can, don't delay the march because of the horse, it is a trivial matter to be punished, don't forget, we are still in the territory of Beiyan now!" ”
The excitement that everyone just got up was washed down, and there was no way, there was no horse farm in Dawei, and there were only meat horses that produced and transported goods, not war horses, if it wasn't for the military achievements or the cavalry of Dawei, few people in Dawei could ride such a good war horse.
As soon as the military flag changed, sure enough, the direction in which the group was moving was to go north!
Gu Changsheng looked in the direction of the north, an inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes, he knew that although it was the same as what he had guessed, no one knew what would happen in the end. If you lose, how do you survive, and if you win, where do you go? Do you want to stay in this army all the time?
Gu Changsheng, who was riding on horseback, was confused.
The army set out, the horses' hooves traddled on the mud, rushed through the rain, and embarked on a road of no return.
The heavy rain narrowed his vision, and since he had already grabbed the horse farm, he didn't need to be in a hurry, just need to meet with His Highness, and Wu Qi's task would be completed.
Wu Qi was originally the deputy general of the Zhenbei Army, and after His Royal Highness took over the position of the commander of the Zhenbei Army, his deputy general should have been replaced by the original commander-in-chief, but because he himself had more than enough to defend the city and not enough to attack, he was arranged in the rear.
Previously, His Royal Highness ordered him to go north directly after plundering the Beiyan Horse Farm. As for whether he can meet His Royal Highness, in fact, Wu Qi is not sure. It's just that His Royal Highness ordered that if he didn't run into that side and continue to go north, he would point to Bei*Yang, and if he could take it down, he would take it down, and if he couldn't take it, he would hide it near Pingyang for the time being.
On the day when Wu Qizhen's Northern Army went out, General Nangong specifically looked for them, and all kinds of pros and cons had been fully informed, to be honest, their first reaction when they heard His Highness's plan at first was: Shocked! I can't help but pay tribute to His Royal Highness in my heart, but this time I have died nine times, but which of the soldiers does not want to be shrouded in horse leather and fight on the battlefield.
Although I have already prepared in my heart, if this battle is successful, I will ensure the peace of the Great Wei for five years, and the peace of the northern border for five years! It's just that now that he is getting farther and farther away from Great Wei and closer and closer to the hinterland of Beiyan, Wu Qi's heart is somewhat full of strange emotions.
He suddenly missed his wife and children at home, and the rabbit cub at home didn't like to practice martial arts, but liked to read, saying that he would enter the cabinet in the future to seek the well-being of the people of Dawei. Thinking of this, Wu Qi couldn't help but smile, and after coming back to his senses, he tightened the reins in his hand.
The earth is the mother of all living beings on the road, and what it does portend can be felt by spiritual beings. Because the foals that Gu Changsheng and his party sat on were a little irritable, even Jin Wuyi accidentally let go of one horse, and could only appease two.
"Something big is happening!" Jin Wuyi shouted at everyone. The two thousand Zhenbei Army, which was originally in order, became a little chaotic because of the uneasiness of the war horses. Wu Qi calmed the horse that sat down, and stopped to observe the surroundings carefully.
Under the cover of heavy rain, he could not see the enemy, and in turn, the enemy could not see himself. What can be seen ahead is also normal, nothing is the same.
Wu Qi turned over and dismounted, and he didn't feel it on horseback, but when he got off the horse, Wu Qi's complexion immediately changed greatly!
This horse farm is built on the river, and this river... Wild goose tail stream! His Highness opened the floodgates and released the water dragon!
The earth was shaking, Wu Qi turned over his horse, and ordered the herald to inform the whole army, and they were speeding at full speed, and everyone followed.
"The whole army is marching quickly, and no one will be left behind!"
"The whole army is marching quickly, and no one will be left behind!"
"The whole army is marching quickly, and no one will be left behind!"
The military order spread throughout the army, and the pseudo-horsemen with a long snake began to run.
The tremor is getting bigger and bigger, and it can be felt on the running war horse, Gu Changsheng's complexion changed greatly, and there was a faint mist and cold air behind him, which made people tremble, although they didn't hear any movement, but everyone felt that the death water dragon was approaching, and they could vaguely hear it roaring, it was crazy!
"Quick! Come on! "Someone in the three teams has fallen behind, he just controls a horse, but he is not talented enough, and he has nothing to do on weekdays, and as soon as the horse under this crotch is disobedient, he begins to panic.
One, two, more and more people are left behind, and the Zhenbei army in front of them cannot be avoided, one person and three horses slowly become one person and two horses, and then each person can only take care of the horses under them, and the other superfluous war horses have been given up and let them run.
"Captain, don't leave me! Save me! ”
Jin Wuyi recognized him, his name was Wang Liu, he was a restrained and reserved boy, he was only seventeen this year, he was originally the only son of a small family in the border city, he was buying wine for his uncle in the backyard of the restaurant when he was arrested, and he was arrested into the barracks as soon as he went out and turned his head, because of his introverted temperament, he didn't dare to say that he would not join the army at first. After a month, Jin Wuyi looked at him a little unbearable.
Zhang Jun had also seen this scene, and couldn't help but remind loudly: "You are too busy to take care of yourself!" If you care, you will suffer his life with him! ”
Jin Wuyi glanced back, and then chased after the team ruthlessly. Wang Liu's desperate eyes, Jin Wuyi felt that he would never forget it in his life.
