Chapter 143: Unknown Enemies

It was late at night, and the wild was full of insects' chirping, but Zhao Yu didn't know why, he just couldn't sleep. When I walked out of the bungalow, I immediately saw a large torch, the flame dancing in the night wind, and as if in the wind, dancing with the night breeze.

Walking near the torch, the "pop!" sound of dead wood burning "pop! Syllable! The popping bean-like sound masked most of the insect chirping, and the monotonous murmur exuded a quiet taste.

Seeing Zhao Yu come out, the two soldiers who were keeping vigil outside hurriedly beat their spirits and stood up. "The little one has seen the prince!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said casually: "No need to be polite, you are fortunate to be on the march, sit." You don't have to follow this king, this king will go upstairs and have a look! ”

The two soldiers looked at each other and wanted to agree, but they did not dare to agree.

Zhao Yu feigned anger and said, "Don't you even dare to disobey the words of this king?" ”

The two soldiers knew what was wrong, looked at each other, and saluted with fists. "Thank you for your compassion!"

Zhao Yu smiled with satisfaction: "That's right!" ”

The gatehouse was guarded by soldiers, not very many, only six, and lit a bonfire to avoid the cold. Although it is already summer, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, and if you don't pay attention, it is normal to get a cold. It is very troublesome to contract the wind cold in the army, treatment is on the one hand, on the other hand, the fear of infection, you have to leave the soldier nearby for treatment, and it is impossible to be just a soldier infected with the wind and cold, and you have to leave a person to take care of one or two.

When the soldiers on the gatehouse saw Zhao Yu, they immediately saluted. But they didn't say much, and the fatigue had made the soldiers even more forced to hold on to the vigil.

Looking at the wild, more than a dozen fireflies are flying in the grass, which is very beautiful.

Looking at such a beautiful scenery, Zhao Yu didn't know why, he always didn't have a trace of happiness, but a little irritable.

Zhao Yu shook his head, found a corner in the gatehouse and lay down, and immediately a soldier sent felt, Zhao Yu was not polite, rolled up the felt and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Slowly, a wave of sleepiness poured out, and Zhao Yu fell asleep unconsciously.

Suddenly, a commotion woke Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu stood up at an unprecedented speed, and the felt fell to the ground, crumpled. Zhao Yu squinted his eyes and asked in a loud voice, "What happened?" But there are thieves sneaking up? ”

"It's not! The prince is Mu Lingguan there! I don't know why there is a fire in Mulingguan! In the darkness, a soldier shouted in response.

Zhao Yu was taken aback, quickly rubbed his eyes, and looked up. Five miles is not far, but it is not close, at this distance, Zhao Yu actually saw a fire in Mulingguan, what a big flame?

Gone off?

This was Zhao Yu's first reaction, but vaguely Zhao Yu felt that something was wrong. Soon Zhao Yu found that something was wrong, although the sound of insects in the wild was very noisy, but he still faintly heard some good shouts and killings, very faintly, one moment he felt that it was a shouting and killing, and the next moment he felt that he should have heard it wrong.

According to Zhao Yu's thoughts, he immediately went with the iron armor. However, not to mention today's long-distance march, after arriving at Muling Pass, I had to change my route and come to this dilapidated camp to rest. Although many of the houses in the camp are relatively intact, cleaning is still necessary. At the end of the day, the soldiers who are all called ironclad don't know how tired they are.

"Li Lizhong! Zhao Yingwu! Call the two of them at once! Zhao Yu thought for a moment and shouted.

It didn't take long for "Wow! For! For! Hurried footsteps sounded, and Li Lizhong and Zhao Huanwu, who were wearing white tight pajamas, had already arrived. They apparently arrived as soon as they were given the order, so that they did not have time to change their clothes, and they were only wearing clogs on their feet.

"Lord ......"

The two of them just wanted to salute, but they were rudely interrupted by Zhao Yu. "It's all this time, what are you doing with so much red tape? Zhao Yingwu, you immediately let people make food, but you don't have to wake up the soldiers. Li Lizhong, you personally bring people to Mulingguan! Let's see what's going on at Mulingguan! ”

The two hurriedly agreed, and immediately said, "Oh! For! For! He walked down the gatehouse.

Zhao Yu looked at the firelight of Muling Pass in the distance, and muttered worriedly: "I hope it's just a fire!" ”

Time passed little by little, but the news has not returned. Zhao Yu became more and more anxious in his heart, looking at the thick night outside, Zhao Yu had an illusion, an invisible big hand, enveloping himself, so that he could not see, could not hear, could only suspect everything.

Damn it! Secretly cursed in his heart, Zhao Yu hated this feeling very much.

For intelligence, Zhao Yu has a deeper understanding. Zhao Yu swore that after this time, he would definitely recruit some shrewd and capable scouts, and spend a lot of money to buy some good horses at the border pass.

Just when Zhao Yu couldn't sit still and some of the resting iron armor woke up, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded in the field.

A white war horse, like the sun breaking through the darkness.

Zhao Yu's heart sank suddenly, and it was three scouts who were sent out, but now one of them is back! What does this mean?

Mulingguan is there......

Definitely not a simple fire! It's war! Where did the enemy come from?

Soon Zhao Yu had a suspicious target, the Mengshan thief! Mengshan is located in the west of Yizhou, and Mulingguan is located at the junction of the northern part of Yizhou and Qingzhou, about 200 miles away. Two hundred miles is a straight-line distance, and the actual distance is much farther than that.

First of all, the Mengshan area is mountainous, and it is even more necessary to climb the mountains and cross the mountains to reach Mulingguan in a straight line. If you take the traditional official road, although it is farther, the distance is closer. It's just that these official roads have to pass through Fei County and Yishui County, both of which are garrisoned with heavy troops to take precautions, how could the Mengshan thieves kill and get to Muling Pass?

If it's not the Mengshan bandits, then what about the thieves nearby?

Zhao Yu didn't care about waiting on the gatehouse, so he walked down the gatehouse quickly and waited at the gate. The gate had opened, revealing a position where only one horse could pass through.

Near the gate, the horse had slowed down, and for some reason, it suddenly flipped off the horse's back. Zhao Yu's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that there was not only one person on horseback, but also a person, who was it? Comrades? Or is it someone from Mulingguan?

It's just that Zhao Yu was not in a hurry, but ordered Zhao Yingwu, who had already changed into armor and came to his side: "Take two people up to take a look, be careful of the ambush!" ”
