Chapter 62 Passing Down

The Xuanlong Army was originally lightly armed, and there were a thousand extra horses to carry the goods, but they didn't have to lose too many things, and it only took half a day to clean them up. The timber used to build the barracks was just enough to build rafts.

As soon as the next day dawned, the whole army began to rush to the river, and Yang Tian's personal soldiers and Li Chong led the more than 100 Li disciples to cross the river first, scattered for more than ten miles, to prevent the Turkic scouts from discovering the army crossing the river, although it was not expected that the Turks would not eventually discover the Xuanlong army crossing the river, but exposing the target too early was undoubtedly greatly disadvantageous to the Xuanlong army, and it was better to be discovered by the Turks later.

The Xuanlong Army had made hundreds of rafts yesterday, and a raft could only transport five people and five horses at a time, so it actually took six to carry it, and it took nearly an hour for the Xuanlong Army to cross the river, and after crossing the river, these rafts had to untie the ropes and let the water rush down.

If you are lucky, the Turks will not find these rafts, of course, if you are unlucky, maybe they will be discovered by the Turks immediately, but this possibility is extremely low, now it is just dawn, this is nearly thirty miles away from Pinggao County, unless the Turks are camped nearby, otherwise by the time the Turks reach the river, the timber has already drifted dozens of miles downstream.

The seven scouts who disappeared yesterday did not seem to have attracted the attention of the Turks, or they did, but the Turks had not yet reacted, in short, the crossing of the river by the Xuanlong Army was very smooth, and the whole army had crossed the river, and no Turks had broken into the trap jointly laid by Zheng Xiong and Li Chong.

After crossing the river, the chance of exposure is greater, because the sky is already bright, and here is a plain, which can be seen from a long distance, Yang Tian let his own soldiers and Li Chong's clan soldiers, a total of 200 people, scatter a distance of five or six miles together, and all those who encounter the Turks will be intercepted and killed, and 2,000 people will march, and one-tenth of them will be used as scouts, which is enough luxury.

After walking for about half an hour, the scouts had already heard the news of encountering the enemy, the footsteps of the team did not stop at all, the soldiers of the Li family were familiar with the terrain, Yang Tian's own personal soldiers were trained by their own hands, at this time only believed that they could handle it well, the whole army rode wildly, in the afternoon, the whole army had driven out of more than 50 miles, into the mountains.

As long as they entered the mountains, they did not have to fear the Turks chasing after them, and the whole army breathed a sigh of relief, and the scouts behind gradually caught up.

Seeing that Zheng Xiong and Li Chong were both covered with blood, Yang Tian hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Zheng Xiong replied: "General Yu, a total of forty-one Turks were found, and all of them were cleared. ”

"There are no casualties."

Zheng Xiong's heart was a little gloomy: "One of his own soldiers died, and three others were wounded by arrows, but their injuries were not serious, and one of General Li's subordinates also died. ”

Yang Tian's heart ached, he trained every pro-soldier as an officer, and in the future, he may become a general who leads hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, although he only loses one, it is difficult for him to bear: "What is the name of the dead pro-soldier?" ”

Zheng Xiong hesitated for a moment before saying, "General, it was Li Sicheng who died." "Although Zheng Xiong, who had fifty extra personal soldiers, didn't know where Yang Tian got them, he knew that Yang Tian was very precious to them, these people were capable of writing and martial arts, and although the Xuanlong Army was elite, there were no fifty literate people in the army before.

Yang Tian was even more sad, this young man was only sixteen years old, and yesterday he asked him to carry the corpse of the Turkic to exercise his courage, but he didn't expect that today he would also become a corpse.

Li Chong said beside him: "General, don't be sad, that personal soldier named Li Sicheng is good, he killed three Turks, a total of forty-one Turks, and the general's personal soldiers cleared thirty-four people, only seven of them were done by the general's subordinates." ”

Yang Tian instructed in a low voice: "Write down Li Sicheng's name, and after the Turks retreat, I will engrave a monument for him." Yang Tian's heart was gloomy, if he wanted to fight, if he wanted them to grow, he would inevitably sacrifice, and in this adventure, I don't know how many people will be lost among these fifty people.

"Yes." Li Gang hurriedly replied, he also had deep feelings for these students.

The army continued to advance, and after several miles into the mountains, the mountain roads began to become difficult to walk, and everyone led their horses forward, and in many places only one person could move forward, and the ranks became longer and longer, and the speed began to slow down.

More than 40 Turks died at once, and now the matter was very troublesome, although no one escaped, the Turks also quickly noticed it, and linked with the seven people lost yesterday, all the Turks no longer dared to be careless, and soon sent a large force to search.

Although Zheng Xiong and they have buried the Turks they killed, but after all, the time is tight, the burial is not deep, and there is a bloody smell remaining, and soon the corpses of the Turks were searched, they found a total of more than 20 corpses, looking at the deep wounds on the corpses, all the Turks seemed to have seen ghosts, which was obviously caused by the Zhou army, but there were tens of thousands of Turkic troops stationed in nearby Pinggao County, how dare the Zhou people pull their teeth in the tiger's mouth.

The Turks had to continue to search, and soon found the traces of the Xuanlong Army, and chased them to the mountains but had to stop, where the mountains are continuous, the Turks are not familiar with the terrain, and the Xuanlong Army left a rear team to camouflage after entering the mountains, and the Turks could not distinguish the direction, so they had to stop and continue to search.

Tutun, who led the team, didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly reported it to Qi Jin, and Qi Jin reported it to Qi Lifa, so that it was reported layer by layer, and when Sha Boluo received the news, it was already night.

"What, more than forty people were killed, who did it?" Sha Bowl almost didn't believe his ears.

The Tutun who reported to Sha Boluo said in fear: "Hui Xiao Khan, it's the Zhou army, we found a group of about 2,000 men and horses of the Zhou army's marching traces, and they finally disappeared into the mountains. ”

Tutun secretly cursed his boss in his heart, and the news of the victory of the 20,000 horses in Pinggao County and other places that attacked Pule County was like thunder, and no one dared to tell him the bad news, so he had to find the Tutun who started to report again as a substitute for the dead ghost.

"What a boldness, only 2,000 people dare to kill my subordinates, why don't you continue to chase it?"

"Back to ...... Little Khan, chasing ...... Chasing ...... "Seeing Sha Bo slightly angry, this Tutun began to stammer, he usually has no chance to see Sha Bo Luo, but this time he has the opportunity to meet, but it is not a good thing, how can he speak neatly.
