Behind Chu Nan and the others, thousands of cavalry troops almost covered the entire grassland, and the green grassland turned into a black tide in an instant, and the huge Qinzi flag was erected and fluttered in the wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For these horse thieves in the northern grasslands of Yan Kingdom, when have they seen so many cavalry teams, if it weren't for the huge Qinzi banner, they would even think that Yan Kingdom had decided to completely clean up this grassland, and the appearance of these Qin troops in this place also shows one thing, that is, the Qin-Yan War that lasted for several months finally ended in the victory of Qin, for them, the destruction of Yan Kingdom is as normal as discussing what to eat for the next meal, what they care about is their survival, and interests.

In front of these cavalry is Wang Ben dressed in black armor, this is the first time he has led the army independently, and he is also the three generals of the empire, in the battle against the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, as a deputy general, he is far less glorious than Meng Tian, taking advantage of Meng Tian's handling of the affairs of Jidu, he finally obtained the command of the Golden Fire Cavalry, if Yan Wangxi and Yan Dan and others are captured this time, then this will undoubtedly add a strong stroke to his career.

A cavalry lieutenant came to his side.

"What's the matter?" Wang Ben asked in a deep voice.

The general saluted, "Half a moment ago, the scout came to report, and the front has already bitten Yan Wangxi's tail tightly!" ”

Wang Ben drew his sword out of its sheath, "Let's go!" ”

Gu Peng thought that he would die, but the truth was different, not only that, but he also got the cotton clothes given by these people, plus a horse under him, he had never seen such a fine horse, and each of these people was equipped with at least two horses.

In this way, Gu Peng became a prisoner of Chu Nan and the others, and they had been walking fast on this vast grassland for two days without rest, even if he was exhausted, but this team still showed no signs of stopping, and he could only endure to keep up.

Gu Peng had never seen such a disciplined team, and there was an inexplicable momentum in every line, and what puzzled him even more was that they did not have their own banner, like a ghost army.

Speaking of the shadow guards are the best at tracking, these days they have relied on clues, and gradually discovered the team of Yan Wangxi and Yan Dan who escaped from the capital of Ji, as the general expected, they did not go south to Qi but fled north to the deeper part of the grassland, for several days, they marched extremely fast, they were originally behind Yan Dan's three-day journey was finally shortened to two days, and in the last few days, they didn't even need them to carefully explore the traces of these people, because along the way they escaped, There were a lot of frozen horses and hastily buried corpses, and the further north they went, the more cold the weather became, they couldn't hold on, and the dead soldiers of the Yan Kingdom couldn't hold on.

Chu Nan only understood the benefits of leaving Gu Peng at this time, for this area, there is no one more familiar than Gu Peng, relying on his guidance, Chu Nan's team was easily able to find the water source, and also took them to avoid a few wet swamps, and never saw a horse thief like them again, and the speed was greatly accelerated.

Looking at the fog that was gradually rising in front of him, Chu Nan put down the hastily drawn map in his hand, and the uneasy premonition in his eyes became stronger and stronger, now the map was completely useless, he could only observe it with his own eyes.

Zhou Wu, who followed him, drove his horse to catch up, stood side by side with him, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Chu Nan asked.

"Isn't it too tiring for everyone to take a break, brothers?" Zhou Wu said in a low voice.

Chu Nan turned around and looked at the somewhat depressed team, even he was tired after a few days of hurrying, if it weren't for the Golden Fire Cavalry being the most elite cavalry in the empire, I'm afraid that the morale would have fallen to the bottom.

"Call Gu Peng over!"

"What about calling you over? Hurry up, you kid! Zhou Wu yelled loudly behind him.

Hearing this, where did Gu Peng dare to stop and drive his horse to catch up, looking at Chu Nan, his eyes were full of flattering smiles.

"Look around here."

Gu Peng dismounted, probed around, and walked over to say respectfully: "The boss seems to be the boundary of Half Moon Lake!" ”

Chu Nan frowned and pretended to be angry: "How many times have I told you, don't call me boss, do you look like a horse thief?" ”

"It's the boss!" Gu Peng said again, but he secretly muttered in his heart If you are not a horse thief, then who is the person who came to the grassland for sightseeing, how does he not look like it.

Chu Nan didn't bother to correct him anymore, he called him, saving so much trouble, and the horse thief also seemed to be a good identity.

"Tell everyone to speed up, let's rest at Half Moon Lake tonight." Chu Nan ordered to go down.

When it was approaching dusk, Chu Nan's cavalry team finally arrived at Half Moon Lake.

It is said that the lake is just a small lake that is relatively large, and with the melting snow and ice flowing into this low-lying area, it has formed a small lake over time.

There are many traces of human and animal activities around this lake, Chu Nan even found some simple stoves, and the bones of some unknown people, this is the law of survival on this grassland, and the weak will eventually be slaughtered by the powerful.

Some of the horseman's hands and feet were frozen, and they could also be washed with hot water.

"This is a gathering place for horse thieves!" Chu Nan looked at Gu Peng and asked.

"There is no water source in a hundred miles around here, and Half Moon Lake is the only place that can provide a large amount of water, so there will naturally be many people!"

Zhou Wu said suspiciously: "What's wrong! ”

"Nothing!" Chu Nan waved his hand, his brows furrowed deeply, "I'm afraid that I will meet many irrelevant people, and it will be even more troublesome!" ”

Chu Nan's worries were justified, in the first half of the night, there were many horse thieves riding horses and holding long knives one after another, these horse thieves often came in groups, among these people, Chu Nan even saw a large group of horse thieves of four or five hundred people.

However, these horse thieves are also safe, and even the chosen place is far away from the other horse thieves, and they are each on deep guard.

Occasionally, some horse thief leader would listen to the news.

Since both sides have maintained this situation, it is naturally better to be safe, Chu Nan also decided not to pay more attention to these people, but just sent a few people to take turns to be on guard, and now it is the most important thing for them to seize the time to rest.

"Did you hear that? The thistles have all been captured by the Qin army! A big man with a beard said to his companion next to him.

"When?"

"Ten days ago, we had brothers go to the city to procure."

Gu Peng went to the lake to fetch water just when he heard this conversation, he forced himself to calm down, but his eyes flashed with a strange light, and at the same time he took a deep look at the mysterious team behind him.
