Chapter 57: The sound of horses' hooves reappears at dawn

The compound of the Zhenhu Dart Bureau near Yangguan

"Big brother, what should I do? These idle dignitaries and nobles are too much to deceive, and Lao Tzu wants to kill all these turtle grandsons! Ning Wenbo was very depressed, walking back and forth in the hall.

"Second brother, don't mess around anymore, it makes me dizzy!" Ning Wenyuan muttered angrily.

The two young people in their twenties in the hall were the eldest and second sons of Ning Zhenhu, who were very fond of martial arts.

Originally, Ning Zhenhu wanted his family to produce a few well-informed and glorious celebrities, so he named the two of them Wenyuan and Wenbo in turn, placing deep hopes on the two of them;

Who, as they get older, they shout headaches when they read poems, books and scriptures, but they are more interested in knives, guns and sticks.

This made Ning Zhenhu very disappointed, and the father and son were in a stalemate for a long time, and then Ning Zhenhu had to follow the wishes of the two brothers!

After seven or eight years, Ning Zhenhu had a third son, so he named him Ning Wu in the opposite direction, praying from time to time, hoping that he would not like martial arts but like scriptures, and grow up to be a famous man, and have the opportunity to serve the imperial court.

After a few years, Ning Zhenhu's wish was only half realized!

That period of time was Ning Zhenhu's most embarrassing moment, every acquaintance who met him couldn't help but tease him, so that he didn't dare to go out to meet guests at will.

It turned out that Ning Wu, this kid, didn't like martial arts things such as knives, guns and sticks, and he also didn't like ancient and difficult articles such as scriptures and poetry books.

At the age of seven, he went to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, and he still owed a butt of foreign accounts.

The little guy often spoke out to his playmates, saying: "I want to be the most carefree, handsome and awesome young master in the world, and let them die if they are martial artists and scholars!" ”

Slowly, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling these things, Ning Wu has quietly learned, and is realizing his bold words step by step.

For this reason, Ning Zhenhu did not teach him a heavy lesson.

In the past few days, all the local clans in Jiuquan County have been openly suppressing the Tiger Dart Bureau in all aspects, so that the Tiger Dart Bureau, which has always been smooth sailing, has suddenly shrunk more than ninety percent of its business, and it is almost impossible to move an inch.

The various relationships that Ning Zhenhu has been maintaining have also been dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to speak out for him at will.

The brothers went around asking for relationships and going through the back door, but to no avail;

This made the two young people who originally felt very good about themselves suffer, extremely depressed and helpless, and their tempers became more and more irritable day by day!

"Boss, how can I sit still in the current situation of our Zhenhu Dart Bureau?" Ning Wenbo responded loudly.

"What if you can't sit still? I wonder why these boring families do this? It seems that our Zhenhu Dart Bureau has not offended them, these big landlords with wine bags and rice bags? Ning Wenyuan wondered.

"I can't figure it out either, but it's a pity that my father isn't here!" Ning Wenbo sighed, his face was also full of sadness.

、、、、、、

The battlefield after the aftermath was a mess, adding a bit of gloom and slaughter to the already desolate land;

At this time, the ownerless horses in the wasteland were leisurely gnawing on the turf, as if they had forgotten the thrilling battle they had just experienced.

"You are not a fish, you are not a fish, you are not a horse, you are not a horse, you are not a horse

Gongzi Wei Xing saw this scene, and couldn't help but chant two lines of poetry to himself, and he was very envious of the simplicity and satisfaction of the horse; In their eyes, happiness is so simple, there is turf to chew, there is water to drink, is a happy life!

At this time, Wei Zhong rode over on horseback, jumped down cleanly, and reported succinctly and clearly: "Son, the young man died four hundred and twenty-three people in the battle, and now there are eight hundred and thirty-two people left, of which fifty-six are slightly injured; The young girls were lucky, and five hundred and forty-eight were unscathed. ”

"There were originally a total of 327 people in the Zhenhu Dart Bureau and the Ranger, of which 98 people have unfortunately died, and 36 people have been slightly injured!"

Wei Zhong did not mention the information of the seriously injured in his words, and Gongzi Wei Xing naturally knew what this meant, so he didn't ask more, and his mood was a little lower.

The medical technology and conditions of the Wei and Jin dynasties were quite backward, and it was difficult to protect the seriously wounded from the battlefield.

After a while, Gongzi Wei Xing asked again in a low voice, "What about our cavalry?" ”

"Three brothers were killed in the battle, all of whom accidentally fell off their horses during the charge." Wei Zhong lowered his head and replied uncomfortably.

"The hound will eventually die on the mountain, and the general will inevitably die in battle! Don't be sad, where they died, they were all tough men! ”

Gongzi Wei Xing's words were comforting his left arm and right arm Wei Zhong, and he also seemed to be comforting his guilty and restless soul.

He clearly knew that this kind of uncomfortable thing would continue to occur in the future, unless he left this world before the others.

He kept telling himself in his heart that he had to be strong, that he had to adapt to this iron-blooded and cold era as soon as possible, with less sad feelings and more faith in living.

Immediately shook his head vigorously, Gongzi Wei Xing regained his cool head and said, "We all add up to almost two thousand people, and the food must not be enough; Now it was the season of the trough cakes, and it was difficult to collect food along the way, so everyone had to divide up all the horses that died in the battle and store them as much as possible. ”

Wei Zhong frowned, and replied in embarrassment: "But, Childe, Uncle Xiahou let us start marching immediately after lunch, we don't have so much time to deal with these horses killed in battle!" ”

glared at him fiercely, and Gongzi Wei Xing coldly reprimanded: "Stupid, after following me for so many years, I still can't tell the priority of things!" ”

"Time is very short, but the belly problem is as big as the sky!"

He was full of cold aura, which made Wei Zhong subconsciously shiver.

"Childe, my subordinates are wrong! Let's discuss it with Uncle Xiahou! ”

After Wei Zhong pleaded guilty, he immediately fled with great interest, like a frightened rabbit, not wanting to become a punching bag for Gongzi Wei Xing to vent his negative emotions.

After looking at himself up and down, left and right, Gongzi Wei Xing muttered inexplicably: "Cut!" Am I so scary? Isn't it the Great Demon King who escaped from hell? ”

After some negotiations, everyone finally decided to leave the camp at dawn tomorrow, and not let anything delay the trip.

At night of minus 20 or 30 degrees, everyone is not worried about the night attack of the Hu people, and night blindness is a very common symptom at this time.

Normally, under the advice of Gongzi Wei Xing, most of the cavalry in Phoenix Fort consciously ate more vegetables and fruits, and the situation of night blindness was alleviated.

However, in order to be cautious, Gongzi Wei Xing still insisted on sending some night sentinels.

What is a miracle, a miracle is a small probability event that everyone subconsciously thinks is impossible to happen, but it happened in reality!

What is not afraid of 10,000, just in case!

Gongzi Wei Xing doesn't want to gamble on those very unlikely things, he just wants to let himself develop a cautious habit, and he doesn't want to have any luck in his psychological vice.

In the cold weather, the bored people who had eaten horse meat and drank horse broth went to bed early!

Gongzi Wei Xing and Ning Zhenhu did not rest for the time being, gathered around the hot bonfire, and discussed the route map of the march, hoping to save some time and try to take as little unjust road as possible.

、、、、、、

At dawn the next day, as at that point yesterday, the sound of horses' hooves resounded over the land, as if another bloody storm was about to be staged.

A few miles away from the Zhenhu Dart Bureau, a cavalry team of up to two or three thousand people was constantly pumping their horsewhips to speed up, wanting to repeat the miracle of yesterday's dawn and kill this group of tricky Central Plains people!
