Yongdu is the old capital of Daqin, thanks to Daqin's unremitting road construction. The roads within a hundred miles around Yongdu are in very good condition, and the tamped land is completely suitable for horse-drawn carriages. However, this Qin army is not a Pingliang Qin army, and the four-wheeled carriage still belongs to the equipment of the baggage battalion for them. And in this expedition, the baggage battalion is not included in the establishment. Gong Qi didn't plan to fight a protracted war, he just planned to get a vote and leave.

Meng Yi and his generals and cavalry had already set off in the afternoon, with two human heads hanging in front of his horse. This is the harvest of the afternoon! The scouts of the Donghu people are not difficult to deal with, as long as they do not encounter those skilled condor archers. These days, you go back and forth around Yongdu, and there are several rounds of fighting. The Qin army also gradually figured out the reality of the Donghu people.

In fact, there are still some differences between the Donghu people and the Xiongnu, the difference is that the Xiongnu people almost completely live on the grassland and live as nomads. But the Donghu people are an ethnic alliance, and the so-called Donghu people are actually formed by the union of many clans. Some of them live in the grasslands and live nomadically, while others do live in the mountains and forests and live by fishing and hunting. There are even some because of the relative proximity to Yan Kingdom, which has begun semi-farming and half-fishing and hunting.

This caused a gap in the quality of the Donghu cavalry, and those nomadic tribes were of course more powerful in cavalry and archery. The guys in the mountains and forests who live by fishing and hunting are also okay, and the worst ones are the semi-agricultural clans. Cavalry was not much stronger than the Qin army, and they had already begun to shift to infantry.

The powerful Qin crossbow, as well as the humble Wangshan, provided a good convenience for the Qin army to shoot the Donghu scouts. Today, a total of more than 30 Donghu scouts were shot, all of whom were killed by crossbow arrows in the chase.

In order to doubt the Donghu people, the Duke sent a cavalry in each direction. Meng Yi, as the sharpest knife in the entire army, pierced the heart of the enemy. This is also the reward given to him by the Duke of Qi, as long as he persists in this battle. It is not difficult to rise to two levels with military merits, as the youngest son of Meng Fu. has fallen too far behind the two elder brothers in the title, and now he finally has a chance to catch up by a large margin.

The silver moon illuminates the earth, and the entire Guanzhong Plain seems to be in front of you. Meng Yi let out a breath of white air, presumably at this time, the army had already set off from Yongdu. He didn't have to rush too much, he just had to clear the scouts on the perimeter before the rear team arrived. It's too early, and it will startle the snake. Anyway, five miles ahead, it is the upper valley. For cavalry, the five-mile road is not a road at all.

"Go to the woods and rest and have something to eat. Tonight, however, there was a fierce battle. Meng Yi pointed to the forest on the side of the road with his horsewhip, and immediately galloped in. Five hundred cavalry rushed into the forest like a wind, and now it was freezing and snowy. In this forest, you can also avoid the limelight. It's a pity that you can't make a fire, otherwise you can still have some hot food by lighting a campfire.

Even though the moonlight is like water, it still can't penetrate the haze of the woods. In the woods, where the sun does not shine, there is still a lot of snow that has not melted. The war horse stepped on it and made a "creaking" and "creaking" sound.

The howling north wind blew the branches of the trees and "crackled" together, and the scene was a little weird. Even the warriors who have seen life and death feel a little palpitations.

Meng Yi thought this place was good, so he simply rested here. If you go too deep into the woods, it's also a problem when you come out for a while.

After arranging the sentry, he turned over and dismounted, and tied his horse to a tree. Meng Yi took out a handful of mushrooms from the pocket on the horse's butt and stuffed it into the horse's mouth. For cavalry, the horse is the closest companion. Sometimes, people have to give food to war horses when they don't eat. The beans are fried with salt, and the war horses love to eat them. A handful of beans were eaten in three or two bites. Seeing that there was no more food in the master's hands, the helpless war horse could only gnaw on the branches and grind his teeth.

Meng Yi saw that he had finished feeding the war horse, so he took out a bottle of canned food from the blanket, pried it open with a dagger, and ate it.

Canned beef produced in Pingliang has an inch of fat on it. If you put some radish in it after a while, it is simply delicious, but now it tastes cold and tastes much worse in the mouth and is smooth and astringent.

The soldiers also took out bread and canned meat and ate them, and in a moment they were about to sacrifice their lives to tear them apart. If you don't eat it now, you may never be able to eat it again in this life. Cool canned beef is not something that can be eaten casually. Many of these soldiers are eating beef for the first time in their lives.

"Old Uncle Liu, what kind of meat is this?" A new Ding ran to Captain Wu and asked curiously while chewing beef. It was the first time in his life that he had eaten meat with this taste.

"Silly boy, this is beef." While eating, Captain Wu glanced at this recruit who didn't understand anything.

"Beef? God! It is illegal to kill cattle, and you will be taken to the board by the official family, and you will go to jail. Xinding's eyes widened, and he looked at Wu Chang in horror, the delicious beef in his hand seemed to be a poisonous snake, and he wanted to throw it but was reluctant.

"Gua Wazi, do you think this is the middle class? It's all made by Pingliang, Pingliang is close to the grassland, and I heard that it is not illegal to kill cattle there. Some of them ate quickly, and they were all bought by the imperial court from Yunhou for a monetary fee. Ay...... Looks like there's going to be a bloody battle tonight! The old captain sighed as he chewed on the beef.

Shangguan took out such a precious thing as canned beef, and each person was given a bottle. This shows that today's task is extremely dangerous, and the things in the court are so delicious. After eating this mouthful, maybe you will have to pay for your life tonight. But that's fine, wealth and danger are sought. Dangerous characters, military merit is also high. If you encounter such a once in your life, as long as you are lucky enough to live. In the future, he will be a master, eating and drinking spicy, as long as the Great Qin Empire is still there. Even if you hold the wealth in your hands in this life!

Xinding heard that it was not illegal to eat beef, and his eyes were full of envy. Such a delicious thing, if you can eat it every day. Is that still the life of a human being? Pingliang is really good, I heard the old soldiers say that the Pingliang soldiers have military salaries. A month's salary can feed the family, and this life is good. Enjoy the blessings and enjoy all the evils, if you can also go to the Pingliang army, it would be good.

Eating beef in his mouth, thinking about the future. The young and simple soldier could not have imagined that a catastrophe was just around the corner. Many of them do not see the sun tomorrow.

Meng Yi finished eating the canned food and stuffed a few mouthfuls of snow into his mouth. To prolong the shelf life, the cans are made a little salty.

Suddenly, a soldier stumbled over and shouted in a low voice, "General, it's not good. ”

PS: I did drink too much last night, and the last chapter was coded out in a completely confused situation. Don't ask me what the last part was about, because the old dragon doesn't know. I read the comments this morning and found out something went wrong!

For yesterday's mistake, Lao Long apologized 120,000 points. Although he made such a low-level mistake, Lao Long felt that he still belonged to the kind of good comrades who could be reformed. I already have the cheekiness to ask for a monthly pass, and I'm saving up for a break in two days. (To be continued.) )
