In the evening of the next day, the march, which had been marching for more than 130 miles, finally stopped. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Mongols dismounted and climbed up the mountain to shoot hunting, while the people of Heyusheng used simple fishing nets to catch fish...... Don't worry about not being able to catch it, although there are fishing fish skin tartars along the rivers, but there are too few human beings living in this land, the land is sparsely populated is not enough to describe, often walk a day and fifty miles without seeing a single figure, only one or two small tribes of hundreds of people within a hundred miles is a very normal situation, in the Tang Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, there was a complete county of bondage, but it was only limited to bondage, the Central Plains Dynasty did not really master this land, and the northern regime established by ethnic minorities only nominally had the right to rule, Only in the core area, such as Zhaozhou, where post stations and state towns were once built, they belonged to the Liaojin period, but now they are also ruined. The cavalrymen took off their armor and military robes, wore liners and went down to the river to throw their nets, or simply took off their fine lights, and went down to the river to catch them by hand, and in a matter of moments, the fat white fish were thrown ashore.

Although the Mongols did not want to go into the water, they were good at roasting fish by roasting sheep, and the smell wafted around the camp.

Ma Wu and Fried Flower and the others sat cross-legged on the grass on the edge of the river beach, looking at the beautiful scenery when the sun set, Ma Wu said to Fried Flower: "Taiji, the figure on the mountain just now, I don't know if you saw it?" ”

"I've seen it." Fried flowers said: "I think it's because of my identity that they bite it." ”

"Not necessarily." Ma Wu snorted and said, "We beat them badly, and Jian Yu has a grudge, so he bites us tightly." ”

"It's also possible." Fried Hua frowned and said: "My subordinates have already scattered more than 20 people under such a forced march, and if they continue to walk, I am afraid that they will still be scattered a lot." ”

Ma Wu lowered his head, raised his head and looked at the fried flowers and said: "Taiji, with all due respect, if you can't even catch up with the subordinates who can't march and can't follow, it doesn't matter." ”

Fried flowers were speechless, which sounded very impolite and not very good, but he had to admit that what Ma Wu said was very reasonable.

If you can't even catch up with the rapid march, what's the use of slowing down?

The cavalry in front of him is obviously different from Yusheng's, and its spiritual outlook is far superior to that of those weak Mongols, although the other party is a nation on horseback.

In this morning, the cavalry held a simple funeral under the leadership of the officers, yesterday's battle, the cavalry also suffered heavy losses, 31 people were killed on the spot, and seven more were seriously wounded on the way to the rapid march, but fortunately in the evening, although a few people were still feverish, but they did not die under the bumps and hardships of the rapid march, and it is estimated that they will not die in the future.

Nearly forty robes died, it was impossible to take the corpses with them, and the others watched Ma Wu take off the nameplate around the neck of the dead soldier, with the name and the number of the unit on it, and the back was a simple description of the body and the record of the place of origin, plus a more detailed badge, with which the identity of the war dead could be determined.

As for the bereavement of the deceased, Ma Wu also explained to the fried flowers. When he heard that the war dead had such a generous pension, even the fried flowers were amazed, and he could only sigh that Zhang Han was so rich, no wonder he had created such a strong army in a short period of time.

Under the morning sun, a raging fire burned in the valley, and the soldiers replaced the robes of the brothers who had died in the battle with clean liners, placed the bodies on them, and finally burned them to ashes, and collected the bones and put them in jars.

Ma Wu said at the time, and Yusheng's rules are like this, no matter what, to bring back the bones of the dead robe, and finally buried in the military cemetery, four o'clock to worship, incense endlessly, only in this way, with the pension system, can the soldiers on the battlefield to the greatest extent to remove distractions, the courage to fight for the interests of Yusheng.

If you do something wrong in these things, human life is the most precious thing after all, if there are selfish thoughts, and the soldiers are still worried about their families or what happens behind them when they fight, who will really fight to the end?

When the fried flowers heard the words, they were silent for a long time.

Now it seems that the morale of He Yusheng is still high, and he has not become depressed or anxious because of the fatigue of the rapid march and the situation of being hunted and killed, and the complete opposite is that the morale of the Mongols is very low, and it is easy to slack off after getting rid of the pursuit and killing.

A day and a night of galloping, the war horse can be transferred or rested, people have to lead the horse to walk when the horse rests, this burden is indeed not easy to bear, at this time, the Mongols have fallen behind a lot, some are really physical strength can not keep up, and some are afraid that they can't stand up mentally......

In such a high place, you can walk for several months without worrying about hunting, and you can survive as long as you take a detour back to the place where the herders gather before the snow falls in winter......

Fried Flower muttered: "Actually, it's no wonder that they are still too hard to march like this." ”

"Since my generation is a soldier," Ma Wu Zhengse said: "Eating military salaries and enjoying the hard work and sweat of the people, isn't it necessary to work hard at such a time?" What's more, it's just a little harder now. ”

Fried Flower was quite speechless, but just saw a faintly visible figure from the top of the valley in the distance, thanks to the telescope in the hands of Ma Wu and others, Fried Flower also took one, this thing can put the line of sight very far, the Jurchen spy may think that he can't see it here, so he didn't take too much care when hiding his figure, so he exposed the traces.

If the spies had already followed all the way, presumably the main pursuers would be behind him, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, rest for an hour, and continue to move forward with torches." ”

"Hmm." Ma Wu nodded and said: "If you don't rest for an hour and a half, we will cross the river first, and then cross the mountain in front of us, it is difficult for the cavalry here, after going over the mountain, it is to go north along the river, and the Jianyu will not catch up again, we will stay here for a month or two, make a living by fishing and hunting, and wait for the wind to pass, and then follow the road back to the grassland." ”

"Good, so be it." The fried flowers closed his eyes slightly, and he was also very tired.

……

On the night of the third day, after crossing two small rivers and climbing dozens of low valleys, everyone found that there were still a few spies who had been following for more than ten miles.

Xu Zhen planned to take some people back to ambush and kill the spies, but was stopped by Ma Wu.

The spies are very alert, approaching and laborious, coming and going for dozens of miles, it is difficult to catch up with the brigade again, and they may not necessarily kill everything, and it may be in vain.

Ma Wudao: "The mountain in front of us is difficult and dangerous, if we turn over, even if Jianyu knows that we have gone over the mountain, he will not chase after him again." ”

The mountains and rivers are open all the way here, the lush scenery of grass and trees when walking along the river and valley no longer exists, as far as the eye can see, the bare rocks of the mountains and rocks are stacked on top of each other and are exposed on the surface, people lead the horses forward, and feel that it is more and more difficult to walk, the horse's hooves have been wrapped in cowhide, even so, occasionally there are horses who are pricked in the legs, and can no longer walk, so they can only endure the pain and kill, and then push the horse corpse down the valley, and the horse's corpse and the gravel roll down together.

The more up, the more rugged and steep the terrain, here is one of the famous mountain ranges in the Chifeng area in later generations, the terrain is very steep, when climbing up to the highest peak, people and horses are connected into a straight line, horses and horses are connected by ropes, in the middle of the night, the weather becomes very cold, people put their robes on the horses, they are shivering from the cold, to the last moment, when Lin Nanxing looks up, he feels that the starry sky is above his head, one by one the stars are incomparably bright, the moonlight is also extremely bright, and there is no need for torches, One could see the rugged mountain road and the series of men and horses behind it, and on this rugged mountain road, the army of several hundred people felt like nothing more than a long wriggling earthworm.

On the way down, the soldiers were stopped at a steep cliff.

Fried flowers thought of a way, people unsaddled a pony, carefully bandaged the horse's legs with a cow horse, and then let the horse down the mountain, and then watched the blue horse, which was less than two years old, stepping on the gravel from the top of the cliff, and walked down cautiously.

When the people and horses went down together, Lin Nanxing said: I am willing to fight at the risk of arrows and stones, and my life is not in my eyes, so why am I afraid to go down the mountain.

The way down the mountain is extremely difficult, people ride on horses, bow down, with every jump of the horse's hooves, as if they will fall on the cliff at any time, fall down the boundless abyss, broken bones, when carefully down, the bottom of the valley seems to be far away in the sky, and it is dizzy to see a few more glances. As they descended, the gravel kept falling, rolling down the mountain, making a loud noise, reminiscent of what happens if a person falls, more than ninety of the Mongols refused to follow the descendant, they watched the cavalry slowly descend from the valley, their hearts were full of awe, and after the wriggling long snake-like procession slowly descended the mountain, the Mongols on the top of the mountain still did not muster up the courage, they watched these fearless knights and a small number of Mongols gather around the fried flower Taiji, slowly out of the valley, and then gallop towards the north.

……

At dusk, Zhang Han rode a horse and looked at the magnificent scenery in front of him.

The grassland is green, this time is the best time on the grassland, the weather is not very hot during the day, people also need to wear robes to block the wind, but the wind is not cold, blowing on the body makes people feel very comfortable, there is some cold at night, as long as a little blanket is on the line.

After a while, the day will be a little hot, the key is that the sun is too poisonous, there are not a few trees in the grassland, of course, there is no place to shade the sun, there are still few residential buildings, riding horses on the grassland, a few hours of exposure to the sun, after a long time, people's skin color is turned black and red, it is difficult to reverse.
