Tianbao eight years, the early morning of the fifth day of June, the first moment of the year.
The crescent moon has disappeared, the stars are brilliant, and the scattered thin flowing clouds are moved by the wind, and they walk in groups in the sky. Starlight appears and disappears in the clouds, and the sky and the earth flicker and darken.
In the fields south of Talas, the breeze blows, and the wildflowers and grass sway.
Bai Xiaode, like nearly 100 Anxi light cavalry under his command, was wrapped in a big hat and a quiver, lying on the grass and sleeping soundly.
The snoring of the light cavalry came and went, either like thunder or bells, and they converged together, like opening a water and land dojo, and it was extremely noisy.
However, the hussars, who had been tired for several days, were too tired. They slept soundly, as if the sky was falling apart and they would not be awakened.
After leaving the city of Pioneer Branch, Bai Xiaode and his brothers have been serving as pathfinders, investigating more than ten miles in front of the army, non-stop and running.
Bai Xiaode's subordinates are all iron-beaten men, but after working hard for several days like this, it is inevitable that he will be a little tired. Whenever possible, they take every time to rest.
Of course, this place is only more than 100 miles away from Talas City, and it may encounter scouts from the Great Food Army at any time.
Although there were Qarluq troops in the north to cover the Anxi army, and there were several teams of Anxi scouts in front, because the grasslands south of Talas were too open, the food scouts could penetrate the defense line of the Qarluq army at any time, bypass the Anxi scouts, and approach the Anxi army camp.
Therefore, the Anxi light cavalry, who were tasked with patrolling and guarding the army, were highly vigilant and would never put their own safety and the safety of the battalion on others. Even if it was just a short camping break, Bai Xiaode still strictly formulated the rules of taking turns to rest and serving as a sentry guard at different times.
The ugly friendship is the darkest hour before the dawn, and it is also the time when people are most sleepy and the most lax.
And Wei Boyu, who is energetic and has outstanding swordsmanship, was specially arranged by Bai Xiaode to be on duty at this time.
If you are someone else, you will inevitably think a lot about whether the brigade commander has an opinion about himself and takes the opportunity to make things difficult for others.
But in Wei Boyu's eyes, Bai Lushuai handed over the most difficult task to himself, which is simply the most trusted and supreme glory!
When he accepted the task, Wei Boyu began to fantasize about whether he happened to encounter a sneak attack by the Great Food Scout when he was serving as a sentry? In that case, you can take the lead by firing your bow left and right, swinging your sword in unison, dividing five by two, and killing a few scouts.
If you're lucky, kill a centurion or something, and the credit will be even greater. After the war, if you talk about meritorious deeds, you can win a team leader, a brigade commander or something.
The more Wei Boyu thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, as if he had become a brigade commander or captain.
However, when he was woken up by the previous sentry and began to guard the robes in a daze, Wei Boyu looked around, and there was only the light sound of the wind blowing on the vast and lonely grassland, but there was no trace of the big cannibal at all.
After lurking motionless in the grass for half an hour, the reckless Wei Boyu was about to go crazy. But the military orders are like mountains and responsibilities are on his body, so he has to force down the urge to move his muscles and bones, and continue to grit his teeth and persevere.
At this time, Wei Boyu suddenly realized that the arrangement of brigade commander Bai Xiaode was very likely to have nothing to do with trust and glory, but just to polish his reckless temperament.
After figuring out this section, Wei Boyu couldn't cry or laugh. It seems that the accidental killing of Gelulu's war horse left too deep an impression on the White Brigade Marshal.
When he was bored, Wei Boyu suddenly thought of the silver nail leaf he picked up in the mountains and forests that day, so he reached out and touched it from his waist.
Under the starlight, the smooth carapace glows with a silvery glow.
"The texture is so exquisite!" Wei Boyu used the thumb of his right hand to bounce the nail leaf up, and then Hòu reached out to catch it. Repeatedly, the nails and leaves shine over the grass like silverfish leaping out of the lake.
"Alas, it's still boring!" After playing with the silver nail leaf for a long time, Wei Boyu began to feel listless again: "Damn big cannibal, why haven't you come yet?" I'm hungry for my sword! ”
While he was complaining, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly. Wei Boyu was excited, and he didn't care about taking the nail leaf back to his waist, holding the nail piece in his hand, hurriedly pulled out the grass, and looked north.
The earth trembled stronger and stronger, and the stars seemed to be shaken to the ground. In the light of the stars, Wei Boyu saw that on the northern horizon, thousands of cavalry were coming slowly but firmly like a tide.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Wei Boyu jumped up, ran to Paoze's side, and yelled.
The quiver magnified the shaking of the earth several times, and the sleeping Bai Xiaode jumped up and looked warily to the north. At this time, Wei Boyu and the other vigilant soldiers were struggling to wake up the other companions.
The tide of cavalry from the north was still slowly approaching, and Bai Xiaode jumped on his horse and tried his best to look into the distance by the starlight.
"Judging by the banners and armor, the first few rows of cavalry should be Qarluqs." After recognizing the identity of the other party, Bai Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief: "In the middle of the night, which one is the plot against the Black Mountain?" Yesterday, there were indeed tooth soldiers who went north to contact the Qarluq department, saying that the marshal wanted to plot Montenegro to go to the camp as soon as possible to report the military situation outside the city of Talas. But how did the Qarluq Department put on such a big formation? Could it be that the tide of the war has changed? ”
Although the pace of thousands of Qarluq cavalry was slow, the fierce momentum made the Anxi light cavalry a little nervous.
Under the command of Xue and Liu, the Anxi light cavalry also mounted their horses, with their horses facing south, ready to retreat at any time.
Bai Xiaode thought about it for a while, and felt that he should still find out the meaning of the Qarlu Department. So, he pondered and ordered: "Xue Teamzheng, you bring a few brothers to meet you, and ask who is the leader of the Qarlu tribe?" Why so many men? Is there anything unusual about the Great Food Rebels? ”
The Xue team ordered five light cavalry according to the order, like a flat boat going upstream. And the endless Qarluq cavalry continued to leap out from behind the horizon. In order to conserve horsepower, the Qarluq cavalry was not very fast. But under the trampling of thousands of horses' hooves, the whole grassland is trembling, which is chilling.
Staring at the Qarluq cavalry, whose silhouette was getting clearer and clearer, Bai Xiaode's expression became extremely cautious. Looking back in the direction of the location of the camp to the south, he felt a little steady.
The Qarluq cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the advance was only a few thousand paces away from the Anxi light cavalry. Wei Boyu suddenly felt a huge coercion, forced from all directions.
Subconsciously, Wei Boyu's hands touched his waist and pulled out the sword. Only with the sword in hand would he feel at ease.
Bai Xiaode heard the sound of the sword coming out of the sheath, and immediately understood that the young and reckless Wei Boyu couldn't hold his breath.
"Daredevil......" When Bai Xiaode turned his head to reprimand Wei Boyu, he saw a line of silver light flashing from Wei Boyu's side.
"What is this?" Bai Xiaode leaned over and stretched out his arms and grabbed the silver shining nail leaf in his hand.
"Chief, it's just a nail leaf, I found it in the mountains and forests two days ago. Well, that was the day I met the Qarlu Centurion. Wei Boyu explained casually. In the past few days, he has become very familiar with Bai Xiaode, and his title has changed from a well-behaved "brigade commander" to a "leader".
Bai Xiaode rubbed the delicate and smooth nail leaves, staring at the lines of the upper miàn, his eyes were fascinated.
"Chief, I found it under a pine tree full of arrow holes. You also said at the time that it was a place where the Qarluqs hunted clouded leopards. Wei Boyu found that Bai Xiaode's expression was extremely solemn, and hurriedly laid out all the details one by one.
"Not good!" Bai Xiaode suddenly roared. He looked up and found that Team Xue was about to make contact with the cavalry of the Qarluq Division, and his expression was even more panicked.
"Quick! Everyone shouted in unison: 'Team Xue, come back quickly!' Bai Xiaode looked around and found that there was no better way to inform Xue Teamzheng, so he had to let the Anxi light cavalry shout in unison.
Although the Anxi light cavalry didn't understand what Bai Xiaode meant, they still obeyed the military order, let go of their voices and shouted: "Team Xue, come back quickly!" ”
After the Anxi light cavalry shouted several times, Xue Team Zheng and the others seemed to hear the call of the robes, reined in the reins of their horses, and looked back suspiciously.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Seeing the Anxi light cavalry reining in their horses and stopping, dozens of feathered arrows flew up from the array of the Qarluq cavalry, roaring towards the Xue team and the others.
As soon as the Xue team picked up their mounted shields to block the two feathered arrows, two Anxi light cavalry were shot in the face and fell off their horses.
Arrows rained down, and Team Xue was leading the remaining three light cavalry to turn around and run. Many feather arrows hit the rear heart armor of the Mingguang armor, and they were immediately bounced away.
Team Xue was rejoicing when he suddenly heard a loud sound of spears breaking through the air behind him. He didn't have time to think about how the Qarluq cavalry could throw short spears, so he hurriedly slammed the horse's belly and dodged several short spears.
But the enemy's short spear was thrown quickly and densely, and the Xue team was dodging left and right, but it was still pierced through the breastplate by the second round of short spears that followed......
Seeing that Team Xue and the others were all shot and killed by the Qarluq people in an instant, Bai Xiaode was furious and wanted to split. Wei Boyu suspected for a moment that Bai Xiaode might clutch two short spears at any time and rush into the Qarlu array to let go of the fight.
"Withdraw! Hurry back to the camp, the Qarluqs have rebelled! Bai Xiaode, who was extremely angry, did not lose his rationality: "Gao Jieshuai and the feudal judge should not have thought that the Qarlu army would surrender to the enemy, we must rush back to the camp as soon as possible and warn the army in time!" ”
When the Anxi light cavalry retreated, Wei Boyu couldn't help but ask, "Chief, how did you know that the Qarluqs had a problem before they started?" ”
Bai Xiaode whipped and roared: "The silver armor leaf fell from Ma Shisanlang!" That set of silver armor is his family heirloom armor, and the pattern of the armor leaf is very unique, and it is unique in the entire moraine. The Qarluqs deceived us that day, they weren't hunting clouded leopards at all, they were chasing and killing Thirteen Lang! ”
"Ahh Wei Boyu was shocked, he slapped himself hard: "Boss, I should have told you earlier!" ”
