Chapter 100: Xiu Yiwei's right commander
On the road to Pyongyang, a group of more than 100 cavalry was driving through the snow with difficulty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although it didn't snow again, the snow on the ground was nearly two feet thick and the horses could not gallop across the country, so they could only move forward in a trotting pattern.
"Anton's snow is really heavy." The leading lady waved the whip in her hand in annoyance, if it weren't for her own mount, this whip would not have been whipped on the horse's buttocks.
"Sister Shiyan, Liaodong has been a cold place since ancient times, and there is a lot of snowfall in winter, and I heard my father say that there are places north of the Liaohe River where the snow can reach the root of an adult's thigh."
"You're not lying, are you? With such a heavy snowfall, it doesn't freeze people to death. ā
A few little ladies who followed Yang Shiyan chattered and discussed.
The more than 100 riders who dragged behind also broke the silence and talked to each other about what they had seen and heard along the way.
Hearing the voice, more than 100 riders were all little girls, and when they spoke, Yingying Yanyan was pleasant, which did not match their outfits at all.
Not to mention that each horse had a quiver with dozens of arrows, a bow and a crossbow, and a long knife in the saddle.
The image of the little ladies is not weak at all.
He was dressed in a men's tight-fitting tunic black robe, black leather boots, a mountain armor vest, and a scimitar on the left side of the belt. Wearing a black cloak, he wears a black cowhide hat made of hundreds of years later, and the hat at the top of the hat is made of nine brown horse tail feathers bundled together, and the silver-white tail feathers are black at the end with a metallic purple-blue luster. The Fan Yang hat also has a cotton neck guard that hangs down to cover the neck and only leaves the face.
In addition to the hats, the little ladies are dressed in black and heroic.
The leader is Yang Shiyan, the right commander of the Xiuyi Guard of Yanwangfu, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his figure is more than one meter and six, and he has a pair of long legs sandwiched between the horse's belly, and he is heroic.
The snow-white face is flushed, making the already pretty face even more attractive.
It's just that at this moment, the man's admiring face is full of tiredness, and his brows are locked, obviously not in a good mood.
"How many miles is there from Pyongyang?"
The little lady who also had a naturally beautiful face next to her immediately took out a paper roll from the small bag on the saddle and opened it to see an auspicious map of Anton.
Xiao Niang looked at the map and calculated the distance from Pyongyang in her heart and said, "Sister Shiyan, there are still ten miles from Pyongyang." ā
After Yang Shiyan heard this, a faint smile appeared on her frowns, and she finally arrived at her destination after more than ten days of trekking.
With a wave of the whip in his hand, he beckoned more than 100 little ladies to ride south again, but the speed was still not fast.
After driving for several miles, there was a dense rustling sound ahead, and the little ladies all looked forward, but they could not see what was behind them because the trees and the hillside obscured them.
"Sister Shiyan, could it be the remnants of Goguryeo?"
"This place is only a few miles from Pyongyang, how dare the remnants of Goguryeo appear here?"
"That's right." The inquiring lady said suddenly.
Yang Shiyan took out a telescope to look into the distance, and figures continued to appear on the snow-white slope that blocked the view, and they were rushing towards them across the small hill wearing armor and weapons.
"Look, there's a lot of people on the hillside."
The little ladies looked around, but the distance was a little far, and they could only see the figures clearly, but they couldn't see their clothes clearly, and they could tell whether they were friends or enemies.
As more and more people climbed the hillside and came straight to them, the little ladies instantly became nervous.
Without Yang Shiyan's order, he raised a crossbow and set up an arrow to aim.
"Put the crossbows down." Yang Shiyan put down the binoculars and looked back at his subordinates with a nervous look, holding a crossbow and preparing for a big battle, and ordered with a wry smile: "It's the soldiers and horses under His Highness, don't be nervous." ā
Only then did more than 100 little ladies put down the crossbow in their hands and calm down their nervous hearts. Suddenly encountering an army of unknown enemies in the wilderness, the little ladies who have not been on the battlefield are inevitably highly nervous.
When the army approached, Xiao Niang could see their clothes and armor clearly, and as Yang Shiyan said, it was the soldiers and horses under the command of their Royal Highness.
The iconic black clothes and black armor of the soldiers and horses of the Yanwang Mansion and the round iron helmet with a large black brim, the top of the helmet is three-inch three-edged arrows, and the bottom is decorated with a black helmet.
It's just that Yang Shiyan and other Xiuyi guards are puzzled that this army is not walking, but rowing in the snow.
Holding two sticks in both hands, poking and poking in the snow, two long planks tied to the soles of the feet were paddled all the way down the hill.
In the puzzled and strange eyes of the little ladies of the Xiuyi guard, the vanguard of this army marched in front of them. I saw them riding war horses and wearing armor, and they were also equipped with swords and bows, typical military dress. Their faces looked handsome, but they were dressed in such a way that the soldiers did not think of women.
Under the command of the brigade commander, the soldiers immediately stopped their feet, held the horizontal knives and crossbows at their waists, stared at them vigilantly, and if something was wrong, they immediately stepped forward to fight.
"Who are you waiting for?" With a scar on his face, the fierce brigade commander shouted.
Yang Shiyan pursed her lips impatiently, she hated this kind of old man with an ugly face and rough skin, and he didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. He casually took a waist tag from his waist and threw it at the head of the brigade commander, "Take it, if it breaks, be careful to go back and get a hundred military sticks." ā
The brigade commander frowned, this person didn't even put himself in his eyes, and behaved so contemptuously. Seeing this, the soldiers around him glared at Yang Shiyan angrily.
The little ladies of Xiuyi Wei beside Yang Shiyan rode on their horses and looked down proudly at the soldiers standing in the snow, dragging a pair of wooden planks.
They are all the leading soldiers under His Highness, how can they compare with the close Xiuyi guards around our Highness. Seeing this group of big-headed soldiers, the little ladies were arrogant. Seeing that the brigade commander was still unhappy, the little lady muttered in her heart: "It's good that the commander didn't whip you, and he dared to show his face." ā
The brigade commander raised his hand and caught the waist card thrown by Yang Shiyan, and glanced at the waist card with a stinky face, and was shocked when he saw it.
The waist card is a rectangular transparent mutton fat jade, the peony flowers are carved on both sides, the front is impressively engraved with Xiu Yiwei, the lower left corner of the three big characters is engraved with the Yanwang Mansion, and the lower right corner is engraved with the words of the right commander.
On the back is a flying red bird.
The right commander of the dignified Xiuyi Guard is much higher than his brigade commander, although the Xiuyi Guard is not established in the imperial court, but they are the personal guards of His Royal Highness King Yan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are inseparable from His Royal Highness King Yan.
King Yan recruited a group of beautiful ladies to form a left and right guard in Xiuyi, and the armies of King Yan's Mansion did not know, and the two commanders were even more intimate with King Yan, childhood sweethearts.
Thinking about it, he scolded Xiu Yiwei's right commander just now, and showed her a face. This brigade commander felt bitter in her heart, if she arrived in Pyongyang and blew the pillow wind beside King Yan, maybe she would turn the brigade commander she had finally earned on the battlefield into a small soldier.
The brigade commander's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed: "The commander of the Qinglongwei Brigade Yu Li visited the right commander of Xiuyi Guard, he was offended just now, and he asked the commander to forgive him." ā
The soldiers around Yu Li looked at the leader of more than 100 horsemen in front of him in surprise, the handsome man who rode a horse couldn't hide his slender figure, and it turned out to be the famous Xiuyi Wei right commander of the Yan Palace. No wonder she looks so handsome, it turned out to be a woman.
There is no need to guess these cavalrymen around her, they are all beautiful and lovely Xiuyi guards in their teens.
Just looking at their dress, Yu Li and the other Qinglongwei couldn't see the slightest bit of the little lady's weak and lovely appearance, attracting men's desire to protect, more like a dormant tigress.
"Excuse me, and you will also act according to the calendar." Yang Shiyan didn't care about the Tao.
Yang Shiyan dismounted, pointed to the two planks on his feet and asked curiously, "What are you doing with two planks on your feet?" Could it be that Yan Wang came up with a training method? ā
The little ladies were also curious, carefully looking at the two planks worn by the Qinglong Guards' feet, and listened with their ears firm.
Yu Li stood up with some joy and replied respectfully: "This is a sleigh invented by His Royal Highness King Yan, which can be worn in a place where the snow is thick, and the speed is much faster than walking in the snow, and it is faster than a horse when rowing down the slope." ā
"And that's just the sleds worn by people, but also horse-drawn and ox-drawn sleds......"
"It's not like you guys put sleds on the hooves of horses and cows, right?" Immediately, an extremely surprised voice asked.
"Poof!"
"Hahaha......"
Not only Yu Li, but all the Qinglongwei laughed.
The inquiring lady was knocked by her companion and scolded: "Stupid, how can you put a sled on the hooves of the horse and the cow?" ā
The little lady touched her head aggrievedly, a little unclear.
Yang Shiyan was a little embarrassed, there was a fool among his subordinates who provoked Qinglongwei to laugh, his face was a little unbearable, and he stared at the little lady who asked with reproachful eyes.
"Hahaha, Yan Niang, you are here, our Highness is always thinking about you!"
Yang Shiyan looked at the voice, and saw Li Yexu stepping on the sleigh and arrived in front of him in an instant.
