Chapter 140: The Silver Car
Ma Xintian with more than 300 defeated soldiers, lost their armor, ran fast like rabbits, these soldiers are natives in the mountains, accustomed to running on mountain roads, climbing the hill as if playing, turning around along the rugged and winding loess mountain road, so that Tan Wen and others who were chasing after him on horseback gritted their teeth, and these people did not run along the road, often climbed a dirt slope on a super short road, and they would get rid of the pursuers, and Tan Wen's army chased the horse army fast, the horse could not climb the slope, so he had to follow the avenue to catch up, and he had to go around a big circle, so that Although Tan Wen drew the horse P shares to the ground, he did not shorten the distance from the defeated army of Shizhu much. γLatest chapter reading. γ
After chasing out ten miles, Tan Wen suddenly raised his hand, pulled the reins, and stopped, and Tan Hong and Tan Zhi, who were following him in front of him, also hurriedly stopped the horses, so that the whole army slowly stopped and stood in a row on the avenue.
"Big brother, why did you stop suddenly?" Tan Zhi was sweating profusely, and he was on the rise, when he was suddenly pulled back, and he turned to Tan Wen and asked.
Tan Wen squinted his eyes and put his hands on the pergola, looked around, frowned with a suspicious expression and said in a deep voice: "I always feel ...... Something is not quite right. β
Tan Zhi was in a hurry, seeing that the fleeing stone pillar soldiers were about to lose their sight, the boss was still suspicious here, and the fighter plane was fleeting, how could he hesitate? So he said loudly: "Big brother, without further ado, what's wrong?" I've cut off more than a dozen of his heads, and the stone pillar soldiers and horses have already broken their guts, and with just a little more force, they can smash Tusi City in one go! β
Tan Hong was also a little dissatisfied, but he was still quite calm, not like Tan Zhi's rushing roar, but said gently: "Big brother, the third brother is right, we have internal response in this battle, we have a strong army, the time and place are favorable, and we have two differences, why worry about the big thing?" I look at the stone pillar soldiers and horses not like the soldiers who lure the enemy, but like the panicked defeated army, at this time do not take advantage of the victory to catch up, I am afraid that the fighter will be delayed. β
The two sang and harmonized, as if they were undercover agents sent by Wang Huan to persuade Tan Wen vigorously, and they couldn't wait to tie Tan Wen up and kill the stone pillar on the horse.
The two of them are obsessed with money, and their minds have already been placed on the silver mine, and the legendary mountains of silver ingots are so close to him, he only needs to climb a few more mountains and cross a few ridges, he can take it for himself, and if he has money, he can be an uncle, the temptation of money, where can these two men who grew up in Fengjie County resist?
Tan Wen squinted his eyes and was silent, he had seen the world and read military books, the war was going too smoothly, which made him always feel unsteady, Yang Zhan's experience of the past is vivid, no matter what, it is a lesson, between the mountains, there are too many places to set up ambushes and ambushes, he doesn't want to be the second Niu Sicheng.
After thinking about it for a long time, Tan Wen still felt that he couldn't listen to his two younger brothers, these two people were the fate of the capital for the rest of their lives, only staring at the present and not thinking about the long-term, if it wasn't for themselves, the Tan family would have been swallowed by Zeng Ying a long time ago.
"Order, the former army ......" Tan Wen made up his mind, he couldn't chase after him in a swarm, he must follow the method of the military formation, step by step, and the three armies will distance themselves, even if there is an ambush, the whole army will not fall into battle, and they can be invincible.
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard an uproar in front of him, and the group of men who were chasing after him actually shouted, and urged their horses forward without hesitation.
Tan Wen was furious, which Qian general did such a disregard for military discipline? Lao Tzu split his head!
He was about to have a seizure, but he saw a horse in the middle of the team and galloped quickly, Tan Zhi didn't wait for Tan Wen's orders, jumped forward, and yelled: "What's the matter? What is the chaos, are you not afraid of military law? β
But when he saw the cavalry running over, his face was ecstatic, and he rolled off his horse in front of him as if he was running for his life, and shouted in a trembling voice: "General, general! On the fork in the road ahead, a team of stone pillar silver carts were found, which seemed to escort silver from the earthen fort to the stone pillar, which was blocked by our army, and the soldiers were scattered and fled, and the cart was full of silver, about 10,000 taels! β
This shout is like the bell of the boy who scatters money, and it suddenly arouses everyone's heart, tens of thousands of taels! Fengjie's talent tax for a year is not so much, and the Tan brothers' eyes are straight.
Tan Zhi and Tan Hong's eyes were red, and they looked at Tan Wen at the same time like a cannibal, and shouted in unison: "Big brother! β
Tan Wen didn't speak, his face was uncertain, but he hit his horse and walked away, rushing forward.
Less than a mile ahead, it was indeed a fork in the road, and there were several horse-drawn carts and ox carts abandoned on the side of the road, all of which were wooden boxes, and several wooden boxes were cut by Tan Wen's soldiers with weapons, revealing a silver ingot with white flowers.
A rough look showed that each box was filled with silver, the wooden box was heavy, and one box contained no less than a thousand taels, and a dozen soldiers guarding the side of the car were frantically stuffing the silver into their pockets.
Tan Wen stepped forward, brandished a horsewhip and quickly pulled these soldiers away, and then asked Mr. Qian, who led the troops: "What about the people in Shizhu?" β
There was only a silver cart on the ground, and there was no corpse, so Tan Wen asked.
That Qian Zong was so happy that his face twitched, and he grinned and pointed to the official road in the direction of the stone pillar and said: "They all ran, there are more than a dozen carriages in total, and there are few people in the end, so they only have time to stop these cars, and the others run fast and run in the direction of the stone pillar!" β
Like the last straw that crushed the camel, Tan Wen didn't think about anything in his mind, what possible ambushes, what poor Kou Mo chased the art of war, all thrown to the country of Java, the silver of the white flowers appeared in his mind very vividly, he bit his lip and spit out a word: "Chase!" β
He left behind more than two hundred men, guarding the silver cart that was crooked to the ground, and the rest of the army, led by his three brothers, pursued in a whirlwind.
Not far after chasing out, Tan Wen saw that on the official road in front of him, a team of carriages was running on the official road desperately, and some foot soldiers were running with the car.
Tan Wen's heart is more down-to-earth, he has seen those who lure the enemy, but he has never heard of this kind of luring the enemy with tens of thousands of taels of silver, it seems that Ma Chongming's grain merchant is indeed not wrong, the stone pillar is really weak, don't worry about attacking boldly!
The stone pillar convoy in front also seemed to see the pursuers behind, and there was another S chaos, and a general-like person on a horse shouted: "Protect the silver car, protect the silver car!" Let the silver car go first! He drove some of the soldiers to stay behind like a flock, as if they were going to stop them.
Tan Wen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, even if his subordinates were defeated, they would dare to fight again? Let's cut down this group of barbarians who don't know whether they are alive or dead.
He is the main general, this kind of charging work is not up to him, Tan Wen's eyelids rolled, and Tan Zhi, who was impatient beside him, led a large group of people and horses, and rushed away like a tsunami.
"Grab the silver! Kill the barbarians! Tan Zhi shouted, his eyes lit up, he raised the big axe in his hand above his head, and galloped at the front, and the officer on the opposite side who had just been defeated by his two axes was obviously upside down on the horse, obviously recognizing himself.
The officer simply hung the hook and sickle in his hand on his horse and pulled out a crossbow arrow from behind him.
The group of stone pillar soldiers who cowered beside the officer also dropped their weapons one after another, took out a crossbow from their waists, put it on the handle, and aimed it at themselves.
Tan Zhi's eyes are straight, damn, what's going on?
