Chapter 215: The Raid of the Alliance (9)
The river valley under the night was full of coolness, and the wind was still a little cold on his body, Yang pre led his mount and walked on the hard gravel riverbed, the gurgling water muffled the footsteps, and the starry sky and moonlight could provide a little light, so that they didn't even have to hit the torches.
This area is a necessary place for him to go on patrol every day, where there is a small pit that may break his feet, all of them are remembered in his heart, familiar as his own hands, this is the most basic skill of every swimmer, because if you make a mistake, it is likely to be an end.
Death.
Of course he doesn't want to die, a great future is in front of him, countless exploits are waiting for him to stand, Gorou is alone and doesn't know where he has got, he is in this familiar land, what reason is there not to move forward?
What's more, there is a fire burning in Yang Yu's heart, and even the cold wind blowing in the Himalayas can't extinguish it.
More than forty miles of road, the first thirty miles galloped with all his might, and the remaining ten miles were like this, leading the horse all the way, the speed was naturally not fast, in order to achieve suddenness, this was a necessary measure, whether it was him or the nineteen You Yi behind him, they all had the same idea.
Ten miles only, there was nothing to go, and one by one, they followed closely with the brothers in front of them, until a clarion of orders came from ahead.
"Slow down." Everyone slowed down, turned their heads to pass the order down, and soon the squad stopped.
Yang Yu held the halter with one hand, and gently ** on the horseback with the other, and the mount with the chew suddenly quieted down, and stopped roaring and plowing the ground.
In many cases, animals are more alert than humans, let alone this kind of war horse, Yang premonition sensed its uneasiness, so he gave the order to stop moving forward, although he did not find anything.
The cold moonlight could only illuminate a small area, and it was still dark in front of them, and the mountain wind blew through the trees, making that whimper-like sound, and the sound of running water overshadowed everything, so that they could not distinguish any unusual movement.
Yang Yu could only rely on his own eyes, trying to find a clue from the darkness ahead, and finally, when a black shadow seemed to shake in front of his eyes, he immediately reached out and pressed it on the horse's back, where two quivers hung there.
He took out three feathered arrows from his quiver, bit the shaft in his mouth, lowered his body, crawled on the ground with both hands, and slowly touched forward, about ten steps forward, and finally could see a rough idea.
The feeling of the war horse is very accurate, a distance of about a hundred steps from them, there are a few black shadows that are constantly moving, judging from the height, it should be a cavalry, Yang Yu counted carefully, there are five before and after, and it happens to be a unit of the Tubo people.
Instead of acting rashly, he retreated back the way he came, gathered all the brothers around him, and told them what had happened to him.
"There is no light ahead, the camp of the Tubo people should still be far away, their patrol cavalry is released so far, they will definitely not be too guarded inside, we must leave all these people behind, we can't let one person escape back, and we can't let them release arrows."
"Listen to a certain order, a group of four, each group against one person, one person with a bow, three people approaching, it is best to take it by surprise, whether it is dead or alive, if all three of them lose their hands, the archer will make up for it, remember, shoot the horse first and then shoot the man."
Simply assigning the task, twenty men including him immediately left their mounts and their horses in place, and formed a team of four men to touch the front lightly.
Tashi Dema was the leader of this patrol, and all of them came from the defenders of the capital, and they had been stationed in Luoqi for many years, and even in this battle of Qinghai, the troops who had sent the country did not move.
The reason is very simple, they are not battle-hardened soldiers, most of them are from the relatives of various tribes, and he himself is from a powerful family, although it is impossible to become the head of the clan, but there is still hope for mixing some seniority in the army and becoming Zampu's close attendant in the future.
This expedition was originally just for peace talks, and they were a little unimpressed with the coach's caution, who would be impatient to travel a mile in the middle of the night? In this place where birds don't, let alone people, there is not even a ghost to be seen, only the sound of the wind in the ears from time to time, which makes people's hearts beat.
Seeing that the middle of the night was about to pass, sleepiness inevitably entered his mind, his body sitting on the saddle staggered, his eyelids were constantly fighting, and in his confusion, he seemed to see several shadows moving, he closed his eyes vigorously and opened them again, and sure enough, there was nothing.
"Hell." Tashi Dema shook his head hatefully, trying to sober himself up, when suddenly a flash in his eyes and a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his vision.
The instinctive reaction of a person when he was frightened was to scream, but before his voice could be heard, he was dragged off the horse, and the bright white knife light continued to penetrate his body until the pain slowly disappeared.
Yang Yu pulled out the horizontal knife and wiped it twice on the corpse, and a shout sounded around him, which sounded extremely harsh in the dark night, but fortunately there was still some distance from the enemy's camp, but it would not be heard.
Despite this, he did not dare to slack off, solved his goal, and hurried to help somewhere else, under their rapid raid, the five Tubo patrol riders were killed one by one before they could give a signal, and even the horses did not run away.
After such a delay, the infantry of the rear brigade had already caught up, and Zhang Wuyuan and the others naturally had no objections to his decisiveness, and the two armies were put together and resumed their previous marching state.
Rushed through this mile of road, and soon, a large piece of light appeared in front of him, and Yang Yu, who had already seen blood, immediately jumped on the horse and clamped a long lance on his arm.
In the dark, the arrows are not accurate, and it is better to use long soldiers.
"Pre-Langjun, there are many of them, take advantage of the chaos to stir up the formation, so that the Tubo people can't figure out the way to come, don't fight hard, it's not worth it." Xu Guangjing hurriedly stepped forward and reminded him.
Yang pre took Xu Guangjing's hand away, and said in a deep voice: "A certain family can save it." ”
He slowly turned his horse's head, his men already lined up behind him, his arms raised, pointing his lance straight to the sky, and he let out a low cry without looking back.
"Sons, go camp!"
The legs clamped the horse's belly hard, and the war horse raised its four hooves and rushed forward, leaving only a series of "kicking" sounds, and the rest of the wanderers also raised their long horse lances like him, and followed behind their own generals.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards the black-pressed Tibetan camp.
