Chapter 1015: Chasing the Wind Returns
Yu Chao's face was hard to see.
He never imagined that two years later, when he returned to Kaiping County, he would receive such a gift.
"General, avenge your brothers!" Lei Wei, who was lying on the stretcher, was scarred, barely saving his life, and at this moment, when he saw Yu Chao and the thousands of cavalry chasing the wind behind him, he cried loudly. "All of them are dead, and they are all killed by the Qin army. Woo......"
"General Yu, Brother Huo has retired, he and dozens of other retired brothers are now the guards of a grain merchant, and there are a total of more than 100 people in the Qin Realm who entered three days ago." The anger in Huo Zheng's eyes couldn't be concealed. "However, they were attacked by bandits pretended to be by the Qin army, and Brother Lei Wei said, what about nearly two thousand cavalry! It was a great fortune that he could escape alive. ”
Yu Chao's gloomy eyes fell on a few captives who were pressed to the ground and kneeling, this is Su Zheng's capture, when they were chasing Lei Wei, they were bumped into by the patrolling Su Zheng, and immediately hit the horse and fled, but Su Zheng did not hesitate at all, and led his patrol team to cross the border in pursuit, killing several people and taking several prisoners alive.
"You are the garrison in Qingzhou?" Yu Chao asked coldly.
One of the prisoners kneeling on the far left raised his head, "General, we are not officers and soldiers in Qingzhou, we are just... Just bandits!"
Yu Chao smiled, "Bandits! ”
Everyone's eyes flickered, Yu Chao had already drawn his knife out of the sheath, the cold light was cold, and he slashed down, and a big head had fallen to the ground, kicked out, and kicked the headless corpse out.
The bloody steel knife was pointed in front of the face of the second captive, "Officers and soldiers or bandits?" ”
In front of the blood-dripping steel knife, the second captive's face showed hesitation, and after a little hesitation, Yu Chao's knife had already stabbed straight forward, and stabbed it to the ground with a single sword.
Drawing his sword, he moved, and walked in front of the third prisoner, but before the knife was raised, the third prisoner of war was already shouting: "Don't kill me, we are Qingzhou officers and soldiers, and we are the troops stationed in Daxin County under the command of General Lu Ding of Qingzhou." ”
Yu Chao carried the bloody knife, patted the face of the prisoner of war, and imprinted a few bloody marks on it: "Very good, count you as acquaintances." ”
Yu Chao turned around, hooked his fingers, and a soldier immediately led his war horse over and jumped on the horse.
"General Yu, where are you going?" Huo Zheng asked.
"That's a strange question!" Yu Chao tilted his head to look at him: "The Qin people killed my brother and took my money and food, of course I went to find trouble with them and went to Daxin." ”
Huo Zheng hesitated: "General Yu, don't you need to report to General Chen?" ”
Chen Zhihua is the number one person in the Kaiping War Zone, the general, and Yu Chao was transferred to Kaiping, which is his top boss.
"Of course, it must be reported, but the report should be reported, and what should be done cannot be delayed, otherwise after a long time, the opponent will hide the evidence of the crime cleanly, how can he catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, and take the traitor and the double? Isn't this still where you are? You, take these prisoners, go back to Kaiping, and report this matter to General Chen, and I, lead the wind chasing battalion to Daxin. Yu Chaodao.
Huo Zheng coughed dryly: "This, General Yu, I mean, you have been away from Kaiping for almost two years, and you are not very familiar with Qingzhou, so I am different, I walk on this border every day, and these places can be touched even with your eyes closed, aren't you a guide?" ”
Yu Chao looked at him for a while, and suddenly laughed: "It's really interesting, General Chen Zhihua's one-eyed character, there are subordinates like you who jump out, okay, yes, I do need a guide, but you have to arrange someone to send these things to Kaiping." ”
"Okay!" Huo Zheng was overjoyed, turned around and ran to his patrol, looked at the neatly standing row of people, and said loudly: "Now I need ten people to escort these captives to Kaiping, who are willing to go?" ”
In a row of people, the veterans suddenly took a step back in unison, exposing all the recruits in the team, and by the time these recruits found that there was no one around, it was too late.
"Okay, that's you." Huo Zheng didn't give them the slightest chance to regret it, "Along the way, take good care of these prisoners, don't beat them, don't starve them, and hand them over to the general intact." Here's the proof, get it? ”
"Got it!" The ten recruits were listless, listening to the irrepressible smug laughter of the veterans, they were really angry from their hearts, and evil was born to their guts. This is to follow the wind chasing battalion to fight, what a beautiful thing, just because he reacted a little slower, he became an escort prisoner.
"And Brother Huo, he is not lightly injured and can't be bumpy, and he must be careful to wait, and he will also be sent to the general."
"Yes!"
Seeing Huo Zheng arrange everything and ride a war horse to him, Yu Chao said: "Go, while walking, tell me the specific situation of this Daxin, damn it, I have eaten the heart of a bear and dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, this time Lao Tzu will not beat his shit out, and he will never give up." ”
Following Yu Chao's side, watching the endless streams of iron passing by him, Huo Zheng's face was full of excitement, this is the cavalry. It is said that there are tens of thousands of cavalry, boundless, but there are only 5,000 people in the wind-chasing battalion, but it is also boundless, because the wind-chasing battalion has one person and two horses.
Staring at the horse lance in their hands, the light crossbow hanging on their legs, and the ring-headed knife next to the saddle, Huo Zheng's face was full of stars. Compared with the Wind Chasing Battalion, he led dozens of soldiers to patrol the border every day to find out information, but he really died of no interest.
In his mind, he imagined the sight of five thousand cavalry charging together, what a rage and devastating momentum it must be! You know, the Wind Chasing Battalion was able to destroy the cavalry under Deng Su's command head-on at that time.
The Qin State Iron Cavalry, among the four countries, is famous, but it is still not the opponent of the Wind Chasing Battalion. This time, I followed General Yu out to fight, first I got a familiar face, and if I seized the opportunity in the future and begged General Yu to transfer me to the Wind Chasing Camp, it would be awesome.
"General Yu, Daxin is a county in Qingzhou, about a hundred miles away from us, and about one hundred and fifty miles away from the county seat of Qingzhou, which is more avoidable."
"Well, in this way, it's not Lu Certain's descendants!" Yu Chaodao.
General Yu is right. Lu must have stationed his descendants inside and outside Qingzhou County, and these scattered stationed in various counties were the stragglers or bandits he later collected, which were reorganized and incorporated into his command. Compared with Lu's descendants, these people's combat effectiveness is much worse, and their military discipline is also much worse. What's more, now Qingzhou has 100,000 troops, but relying on Qingzhou, of course, it can't support these soldiers and horses, in addition to supporting their own descendants, other armies can only get a small amount of supplies, which forces these troops to go out to loot, but few directly attack the Ming caravan. They still went to the neighboring Qin State to rob it. This time they dared to attack our caravan, and the last general thought that they would not be able to live their lives anymore. Huo Zheng said: "Actually, if it weren't for Brother Huo escaping back, we caught a few more prisoners, it's really hard to say." They killed and robbed everything, and then wiped their mouths and refused to admit it, we have no evidence, and it is really difficult to do it. ”
"Since they dare to do it, this time let them learn my domineering spirit again." Yu Chao smiled cruelly: "Daxin Qin Jun, don't even think about living." Do you know how many Qin troops were stationed in Daxin? ”
"About 5,000 people. Half of them are cavalry, and the robbery is probably their cavalry, Brother Lei said that there are more than 2,000 cavalry, and the new cavalry is afraid that it will come out of the nest, and the fight is the idea of killing people, and I don't want the Lei brothers to be experienced, so they escaped. General Yu, I think it's time for us to speed up. Those people have robbed thousands of loads of food, but I am afraid that they will not be able to run fast, if we can block them outside the big city to gather and annihilate, it is the best, if they are allowed to escape into the city, our cavalry will attack the city, but it will not be very good. Huo Zheng came up with an idea.
"That's a good point." Yu Chao nodded and smiled: "First destroy this bastard who broke ground on Tai Sui's head, and then surround the big new city and force them to hand over the main envoy." ”
"What the general said is very true."
Yu Chao laughed: "Your name is Huo Zheng, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Well, you can try your best to keep up later, but you really can't keep up, and it doesn't matter if you fall behind." Yu Chao glanced at him and said.
"General, I won't be left behind." Huo Zheng was very dissatisfied, this was a blatant contempt for him.
"We'll see!" Yu Chao was noncommittal, raised his horsewhip high, and shouted: "The whole army is accelerating, and the goal is new." ”
As soon as Yu Chao's words fell, the sound of a loud military horn sounded in the queue, and then a military horn began to respond from all directions, and the wind chasing battalion at the forefront suddenly accelerated, one team after another, like the waves of the sea.
"Let's go too!" Yu Chao laughed and spurred his horse and rushed forward. Huo Zheng beside him hurriedly hit his horse to keep up, he was despised before, but at this time he was holding his breath, how could he earn this breath back in front of the general.
Their cavalry were all scouts in the Jumu camp, and their riding skills were quite good, and they followed Yu Chao closely, but they did not fall behind at all, and they still maintained a tight formation in the run.
Yu Chao, who saw this scene, was a little surprised: "It's really good cavalry material." ”
The Wind Chasing Battalion has one person and two horses, and they don't care about horsepower at all, they usually ride war horses with long endurance, and when they are about to fight, they will change to war horses with stronger sprinting power. In fact, Huo Zheng also understood that if he ran like this, even if he could keep up with the team and really caught up with the Qin army, he would only have to watch from the side, and at that time, his war horse would not have the strength to fight again.
