Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Time of Crisis

Although Gu Peng is just a blacksmith in the countryside, this does not mean that he doesn't understand anything, of course he knows that most of the seven heroes of the Warring States who were powerful in the past have now been wiped out by the Qin State, and now even the Yan State cannot escape the fate of the final destruction, and all the previous doubts have been answered at this time, it turns out that these people are not the so-called grassland horse thieves but the Qin people, and these people are the cavalry troops of the Qin State. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, Chu Nan didn't understand Gu Peng's thoughts, even if he knew the identities of himself and the others, there was no problem, and when the cavalry behind him arrived, they wouldn't have to hide like now.

In the middle of the night, Chu Nan and the others were woken up by the sound of a group of horses' hooves, and along the ramp of Half Moon Lake, countless teams with torches came to the lake, not only many of their horse thieves were also awakened by this noisy sound, so this Half Moon Lake became noisy again.

This group of about 300 cavalry went straight to Half Moon Lake, fetched water and set up a stove, and with their strong strength, they drove away a group of smaller horse thieves who were close to them.

Chu Nan took advantage of the remnants of the fire, and carefully looked at these people, these people were wearing animal skins, and they were equipped with a one-meter-long scimitar around their waists, he naturally recognized these sharp sabers, which were the best weapons to cut off the enemy's heads, not only that there were countless slender arrows on the backs of these people's horses, and each horse was equipped with bows and crossbows, and their clothes and hair accessories were not like any of the seven countries.

"Who are these things?"

As if sensing Chu Nan's doubts, Gu Peng said softly: "It seems that it should be Rong Di from the north!" ”

Rong Di! Chu Nan's pupils shrank.

"Yes." Gu Peng said respectfully.

Rong Di is located in the north of the Yan country of the nomadic people, in the weak period of the Yan country, Rong Di wisps raided the border of the Yan country, the most dangerous time even threatened the survival of the Yan country, and so on to the Yan Zhao King period, the hard work finally made the Yan country strong and became a veritable Warring States Seven Heroes, the Yan army drove Rong Di to the bitter cold land in the north, but Rong Di's harassment of the Yan country has never stopped, and occasionally these northern Rong Di people will also trade war horses and silk cloth with the Yan country.

"It's just that this place is far away from Rong Di's tribe, how can they come back here, and now it's cold and freezing and it's long past the season of trading!"

Although Chu Nan was vigilant in his heart, but in line with the principle that the enemy does not offend me, I will not offend the enemy, they did not pay much attention to it, they are only tracking Yan Dan and others now, if there is an additional Rong Di, even they will not be able to bear it, and they are only a team of 100 people, although they are not afraid of these Rong Di, but they will also cause a lot of trouble.

In the depths of this steppe.

Numerous horse-drawn carriages joined each other to form a makeshift camp.

Occasionally, the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom on horseback was sent out to guard the surroundings, and the further they went, the colder the weather became, and the fewer cavalry they were sent out could come back.

The soldiers standing guard in front of the camp, holding the halberd in their hands, swayed because of the cold and because of hunger.

"No, you can't!" A somewhat thin soldier of the Yan Kingdom, holding the horse in his hand, looked at his former colleagues who were gradually approaching him, and his mouth revealed a pleading color.

"We also understand this truth, but the brothers are so hungry, and besides, the life of this animal is not as good as the life of the brothers!" One of them said.

He didn't understand why his former colleagues were now hungry devils, and the skinny horse behind him didn't seem to realize his situation, just whispering behind him, licking his cheeks affectionately.

The young soldier made up his mind, took out the dagger in his hand and plunged it into the back of his horse's hip.

The horse neighed in pain and ran off into the distance.

"Stop it, don't let him run!" Someone shouted.

"Run, run, and never come back!" The young soldier screamed, grabbed a colleague from his side, and fell to the ground with him.

Buzz!

Several arrows flew in the direction of the horse, piercing its body, and the lean horse fell to the ground with a wail.

Countless Yan soldiers screamed frantically and headed towards the horse, snatching the horse's meat.

No one cared about the creep with tears in his eyes.

"What are you doing?" A mid-air roar came from afar, and it was none other than a tall sledgehammer.

The group of soldiers scattered with a thud.

It's just that the place where the skinny horse fell has turned into a pile of white bones, and the ground is still steaming with blood.

Looking at everything in front of him, where did the sledgehammer not understand what was going on? But he has no choice, the shortage of food in the army has reached an extremely serious point, and everyone knows that the slaughter of war horses is a violation of military law, but now who can manage this, except for the war horses of the Praetorian Guard, the rest of the battalions will basically kill those old horses who are sick or can't travel more, and they officers have to turn a blind eye.

Sledgehammer reluctantly walked over to the young soldier and patted him on the back.

The young soldier looked up at him and said seriously, "Iron Commander, do you think we can still win?" ”

"Yes! Absolutely! "The sledgehammer is heavy.

He opened Yan Dan's tent with anger, accompanied by the wind and snow, rushed in, knelt on one knee with a big hammer, and said loudly: "Your Highness, let me take my brothers to fight to the death with those Qin soldiers!" ”

Yan Dan looked at the sledgehammer and shook his head slowly, "The time has not yet come!" ”

"The time has not come, when will it come, if we continue like this, we will not be killed by the Qin soldiers but starve to death on this grassland!" Sledgehammer complained rarely.

Outside the tent suddenly came the shouts of soldiers and the dull sound of horses and chariots falling to the ground.

Yan Dan and the sledgehammer rushed out of the camp and looked at the fire outside.

The sledgehammer grabbed a soldier next to him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment and saw clearly that it was a sledgehammer before he spoke: "The iron leader is not good, Dai Wangjia led his troops across the camp and left!" ”

When the big hammer heard this, he was immediately anxious, and he was about to lead the army out of the camp with the Thor Hammer in his hand, but was stopped by Yan Dan with one hand.

"Forget it!"

"But!"

Yan Dan looked at the firelight in the distance and said lightly: "Everyone is no longer in the same heart, since he escaped by himself, he has one less opponent to deal with, otherwise we will have to guard against the people behind us!" ”

What the!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to deal with Dai Wang Jia, and the sledgehammer thinks it's incredible, aren't they the same anti-Qin team?

He looked up at the prince, only to find that he had returned to the tent.
