Chapter 405: Scout Encounter



"Quack!"

There was a terrible sound in the woods in front of you.

The knights on their horses were taken aback and turned their heads to look over. The long fur on the dogskin and sheepskin hat fluttered in the wind, and looked unusually energetic under the moonlit night.

Tang Wenxing was also startled, twisted his neck on the horse's back, but saw that the grove in front of him on the left was very dense. It was winter, and the leaves of the trees were all gone, and the black branches stretched out into the sky like steel and iron bones

。 This reminded him of the corpses piled on the ground during the Chuzhou War, and those dead soldiers also stretched out their stiff arms at the same time, trying to grasp something with their fingers open?

In the woods, thousands of birds screamed and flew up, covering the sky in an instant. Even the bright moon seemed to be torn apart by the rag-like flat-haired beast.

On the ground, there are countless shadows moving rapidly, and the light and shadow are mottled.

"Damn, it turned out to be a crow!" One of the scout cavalry spat softly.

The army had set out from the old camp in Changping all night, and as the pioneer of this night attack, the Ningxiang army was at the forefront. And as the eyes and ears of the Ningxiang Army, the scout cavalry is at the forefront.

Sun Yuan also knew that he was not good at military strategy and planning, and the reason why he was able to gain a foothold in this Ming Dynasty time and space was only to rely on the knowledge that surpassed the ancients and the training methods he learned from the forum. In addition, whether it is personal bravery or improvisation on the battlefield, there is no difference between the same ordinary person, let alone compared with the famous generals of the same era.

Therefore, every time there was a big battle, Sun Yuan was extremely cautious, and the reconnaissance net of the scout cavalry was also spread very large, expanding to a range of twenty miles.

Crows are always regarded as hoodoos, and the scouts feel bad luck when they encounter such a large group of mourning stars on the way.

"Be careful" Suddenly, Tang Wenxing, who was walking in the front, let out a low shout, suddenly pulled out the riding bow, put it on the string, and pointed ahead.

Since Tang Wenxing lost weight and resigned from the military position in Beijing, Sun Yuan came here to be the captain of the cavalry, and everyone was not convinced. The scout cavalry of the Ningxiang Army was formed by the father and daughter of the Zhu family, Zhu Xuanshui did not say it, he was a deputy of the Thousand Households, and Zhu Ting was strong in martial arts, and he lived and died together on the battlefield with everyone. This surnamed Tang is going to be everyone's captain as soon as he comes, why?

Every unit has its own character, that is, what the character of the first commander of the army was when it was formed, the character of the unit is what it is, and it will be passed down from generation to generation.

Zhu Ting was originally a bold and reckless person, and the soldiers in the cavalry battalion were all so high-flying that they could not be beaten, how could they tolerate this newcomer in their eyes.

But Tang Wenxing is also a character, and after he came to the army, he fought a few times with the soldiers. In addition, whether he is a bow horse or a martial artist, he ranks first in the cavalry battalion

。 So, after more than a year of running-in, everyone finally recognized him as the new chief.

For Tang Wenxing's alertness, the soldiers still admired it very much.

At this moment, seeing him pull out his bow as if he was facing a great enemy, everyone's hearts were full of joy, there were so many crows in the woods on this big night, could it be that there was a large group of Jiannu in ambush. So, everyone also took off their bows and arrows, and secretly guarded.

The Ningxiang Army Scout Battalion has grown to about 130 people. In other words, in just over a year, only about 30 people have been added.

The scout cavalry battalion not only had the task of reconnaissance and vigilance, but also served as the arrowhead of the army to charge in front of the battle in wartime.

In this dispatch, a hundred cavalry remained in the main position of the Chinese army. The remaining 30 people were divided into six squads of five and sent out in three directions: east, northeast, and southeast.

At this time, there were suddenly three whistles in the woods, and the sound was the bone whistle used by the Ningxiang scouts to deliver the news.

"It's my own people." A scout beside Tang Wenxing looked relaxed, put away his riding bow, took out his whistle and blew a long, two, short and three sounds.

"Which team is it?" Hearing the signal of Tang Wenxing and the others, five cavalrymen came out of the woods and asked in a low voice.

"But Qu Laodun, General Tang is here." One of Tang Wenxing's guards returned to the university.

"It turned out to be General Tang, but I was looking for you. Something's wrong, there's an accident! The five scouts shouted in unison and rode over.

Hearing their heavy tone, Tang Wenxing's heart sank, and he hurriedly looked at it. But I saw that these five people were all covered in dust, and one of them still had a feather arrow hanging on his right chest, covering it with his hand, and his face was full of pain.

Tang asked, "What's wrong?" Then he took off the gourd from his waist and threw it over.

Qu Laodun was covered with sweat, and as soon as he reached out to take the gourd, he poured a few big mouthfuls of "Gu Dong Gu Dong", and his eyes lit up: "Good sorghum burning, this thing is worth old money." Come, brethren, taste also. Then pass it on to the man who was shot in the shoulder.

He took off his helmet again, and in the moonlight, layers of white water vapor rose from the head of Qu Laodun, the boss of the same border army: "General Tang, we met a group of Jiannu scouts on the way, the number of which was about ten, and they were all elite Baya soldiers. Fu Lao Er was unlucky and ate them with an arrow

。 I didn't dare to fight, so I ran back and reported. ”

Over there, Fu Lao Er was about to have a bad lung injury, and after taking a sip of strong wine, he began to cough violently.

The two horsemen beside him hurriedly removed the armor from his chest and stripped off his clothes, and by this time, blood was already gushing out like a spring. Fu Lao Er was also able to endure it, and he didn't snort from beginning to end. Only when others poured the liquor on the wound did he frown and scolded: "Damn, the best distilled liquor has been ruined by you like this, and Lao Tzu hasn't drunk enough!" ”

"A gourd of wine is a bird, and after this battle, if you don't die, Lao Tzu can't kill you if you buy two jars of wine! Now, you give me a good life. Tang Wenxing scolded, and then asked: "Lao Qu, there seems to be something wrong with this, this place is still thirty miles away from the old camp of the Tartars of Huangcun, why did you meet the Jiannu scouts?" ”

Generally speaking, the warning circle of the army in this era is only about twenty miles. No matter how far away it is, if something happens, the horsepower is not good, and it is too late to go back and report.

Qu Laodun: "General Tang, didn't we release the scouts for twenty miles this time, and I haven't fought with Jiannu seriously before, how did they fight, to be honest, I still have a black eye." Perhaps, Jiannu's scouting circle is scattered! ”

"Impossible." Tang Wenxing shook his head: "I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, Lao Qu, you go down with the wounded first, and report the situation here to General Sun, I will bring someone over, and I will always see the camp of the slaves with my own eyes." ”

Qu Laodun nodded: "General Tang be careful, I'll go back to General Sun and go!" ”

The five of them clamped the horse's belly and ran towards the Ningxiang army's main formation in the west.

Tang Wenxing subconsciously looked at the sky again, the crows in the sky were still croaking and chirping, but the bright light of the moon seemed to be much lighter.

And the dark blue night sky is also beginning to become light and transparent.

If you don't guess wrong, at most an hour, the sky will be completely bright.

Before you know it, the troops have been gone all night.

Looking at the big crows in the sky, another soldier spat out: "Bad luck!" ”

Hearing the curses of his subordinates, Tang Wenxing felt bad, very bad.
