Chapter 312 Wuyan Mountain [Medium]

At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, but the weather had turned cold at the moment, and the scorching sun at the moment did not make people feel much warmth. The cold wind was howling on the ground, and many of Liao Chen's party were from Guangnan West Road, and they couldn't help but shrink in the cold wind and buried their necks in their collars to keep out the cold.

Ahead is a ravine, which has become very small due to the decrease in precipitation in winter, exposing a muddy riverbed. The banks and the river surface form a huge slope, and the slopes are overgrown with reeds.

"Let the horses rest and go!" Liao Chen looked at the terrain in front of him and reined in the reins of his horse. Pulled the collar to block the cold wind that was turning hard to the neckline, and said a little shivering and hoarse.

"Yes!" The five scouts responded to the promise, but did not rush down to the ditch, but separated two of them, and went to the vicinity to reconnoiter first, and then entered the ditch.

Carnivores prefer to lie in ambush near water sources, especially in winter, when precipitation decreases and many places where there were rivers will be cut off. Therefore, at this time, herbivores have fewer water sources to choose from, and the chances of success are greater.

This is true not only for carnivores, but also for humans! Therefore, the reconnaissance of the Song army's horse exploration was to prevent wolves, earth dogs and other carnivores from lurking, and it was even more afraid that there would be an iron harrier from the Western Xia army to explore the horse and ambush.

"Wen Erlang, you go cut some hay and come back!" Liao Chen said in a blunt official dialect.

Although he is already an officer, Liao Chen, who was born on Guangnan West Road, has a very average level of official dialect. Not just blunt, but only limited to ordinary communication, once the other party speaks too fast. Liao Chen didn't understand.

It's just that no one dares to laugh at him. Because the last ridiculer was broken by Liao Chen's bare hands in the martial arts arena. It took three months of sleep to barely recover.

Wen Erlang got the order, hurriedly agreed, and went to the reeds by the river to cut the grass. Just after autumn, the reeds are abundant, as winter has dried up, making it easy to gather hay. Bunjiro pulled out the short scythe hanging from his waist, quickly cut a large handful, and tied it up with a long reed branch.

Soon Bunjiro harvested two bales of hay, carrying one in each hand. Wen Erlang Shi Ran went to the place where Liao Chen camped.

In fact, it is said to be camping, but in fact it is not camping. Just built a fire pit, on which were set up with branches, each with more than a dozen ventilation holes, and then put a damp cloth on the branches. In this way, it can absorb some of the black smoke, and as long as the heat is controlled, it is difficult to detect the cooking smoke.

In this area of Zhenrong Army, the terrain is flat and wide, and small hills and hills are rare to see.

During the Sui Dynasty, the Zhenrong Army was an important military garrison in the northwest, and by the time of the Tang Dynasty. The household registration is more than 10,000 households. It can be seen that the land of the Zhenrong army is fertile and the population is prosperous. It's only now that the population has become scarce because of the repeated and four-time small-scale and large-scale invasions of Western Xia.

This made even more in the territory of the Zhenrong army. As soon as there is cooking smoke, it is easy to identify it as an army. Because now in addition to more than a dozen military villages with considerable defensive power. On the Hulu River Plain, there are no more villages left. The people in the village have long since left, and those who have not left are the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Seeing Liao Chen, Wen Erlang just wanted to say hello, but he didn't want Liao Chen to see Wen Erlang and immediately made a silent gesture with a serious face. Wen Erlang couldn't help but be stunned, and swallowed it back immediately when it reached his throat.

Liao Chen glanced at Wen Erlang with a solemn gaze, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of the slope. So saying, he climbed up the slope.

Wen Erlang was stunned and looked in the direction Liao Chen pointed. I saw two colleagues lying on the slope at the moment, and they kept gesturing below. Wen Erlang understood that this set of gestures was designed by the prince. It's complicated, but it's easy to remember as long as you get used to it.

What the above colleague said was that there was a team of iron harriers coming, and they were very vigilant, should they catch them?

Liao Chen didn't respond, probably because he wanted to go up and take a closer look.

Wen Erlang didn't care about feeding the horses, so he hurriedly put down the forage and quickly climbed to the slope. Although the movement was fast, Bunjiro did not make any sound. Liao Chen glanced at Wen Erlang, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he focused on climbing the slope.

Although the horses were hungry, they did not neigh. Instead, he stood in place, ignoring even the grass that was put down by Wen Erlang not far away. War horses are all human, and they know what they should do at this moment.

This is also the expensive part of war horses, a good war horse is not so easy to get. Zhao Yu was equipped with a war horse for the horse exploration team of the Beiwei Army, but it took a lot of money to get it.

Climbing to the top, Wen Erlang immediately saw the three Western Xia Iron Harriers advancing in a zigzag shape, their speed was not fast, but it was very rhythmic. Don't look unpleasant, but this can ensure the maximum efficiency of horsepower, and at first glance, these iron harriers are experienced equestrian masters.

"If only I could have three of these horses!" A colleague licked his somewhat dry lips from the side, and said in a low voice with bright eyes.

Wen Erlang didn't need to look sideways to know that it was Chen Laosan's voice, this guy was born as a criminal, and it is said that in order to avenge his parents who were oppressed to death by a big family, he killed a big family with a knife. The local magistrate remembered his loyalty and filial piety, but in the end he was a big family, so he naturally couldn't forgive, so he compromised and exiled Chen Laosan to Guangnan West Road as a soldier. Because of his bravery in battle, he was appreciated by Zhao Yingwu, so he joined the Beiwei Army.

Although he joined the Beiwei Army, this guy was obviously contaminated with a lot of hooliganism in the process of exile, and when he saw something good, he couldn't help but be greedy.

"Shut up!" Liao Chen lowered his voice and shouted in a stiff official voice.

Chen Laosan closed his mouth very knowingly.

Wen Erlang actually wanted to get those Western Xia Iron Harriers' war horses, and he also wanted to get that armor. The Western Xia Iron Harrier is very elite, although it is only a team of three, but its equipment is much stronger than the horse exploration team of the Beiwei Army formed by Zhao Yu at a great cost.

The three Western Xia Iron Harriers combed a handful of party hair ornaments, shaved in the middle, and had some oily braids on both sides of their heads. There is a large brass ring hanging from the left and right ears, and some even have several pierced ears. Also wear a small brass ring. He was wearing delicate and hard cold-wrought iron leaf fish scale armor. Liao Chen and his entourage, who had learned about the situation of the Western Xia Army, still knew. There must have been a piece of leather armor behind this sturdy cold-wrought iron-leaf fish scale armor, or even chain mail plus leather armor.

There are three war horses under the crotch, each of which is a first-class war horse in the Great Song Dynasty, and even the commander of the forbidden army may not be able to ride one. All of them are expensive Hexi horses, also known as Hequ horses. At the time of Song Zhenzong, there were still a small number of people who entered the Great Song Dynasty, and when Li Yuanhao was in power, there were no new horses in Hexi except for previous years.

However, the horses cultivated by the Northern Song Dynasty themselves could not be used at all. The war horses purchased from the Liao State were all dwarf Mongolian horses. Moreover, the Liao people are not stupid, and the ones who traded to the Song Dynasty were not only inferior horses, but many of them were castrated. The war horse Guangnan horse purchased from Guangnan West Road is good, but it is a long journey, and the bureaucratic system is second, so that the war horse is not fully cared for along the way, and there is a chance that seven or eight out of ten will die on the road.

That is, Zhao Yu specially found a veterinarian and took good care of him, so that Guangnan Ma could still exert his combat effectiveness when he arrived in Shaanxi.

"him!" Chen Laosan looked at the three Xixia Iron Harriers with burning eyes, and his face couldn't hide his salivation.

"!" Liao Chen only hesitated slightly. and made a firm voice.

Chen Laosan, Wen Erlang and the others couldn't hide their excitement and salivation, the soldier who didn't want to blow his hair and break his hair, the indestructible armor, and the horse that traveled thousands of miles a day.

Of course. Naturally, these could not be obtained by the big-headed soldiers, but to put it simply, the soldiers wanted sharp weapons, strong armor, and high-quality horses. And isn't there a sturdy armor and a fine steed in front of you?

Not to mention the armor, these nine Hexi horses are placed in the back of the army, and they can also be ranked in the top fifty! Individual three heads can also get the top 20 positions!

"But we have to negotiate a solution! You can't do it brutely! Liao Chen shrank his body into the slope, although he couldn't see the Xixia Iron Harrier, but in this way, it was absolutely impossible for the Xixia Iron Harrier to see Liao Chen.

Wen Erlang, Chen Laosan and the others all nodded in agreement. Don't look at the Xixia Iron Harrier, there are only three people, but there are six people on Liao Chen's side. Although he didn't want to admit it, Liao Chen also had to admit that these Western Xia Iron Harriers were going to be strong by them when they were fighting alone.

This strength is not only in terms of equipment, but also in the environment. No matter how powerful the Beiwei army is, it is still a newly formed army. And Li Yuanhao has been fighting with the Song Dynasty for two years from the time he was proclaimed emperor to the present, and he has not counted several battles with Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Xizhou Uighurs before he became emperor, so he stabilized the rear and flanks, so that when he turned his face with the Song Dynasty, he would not be attacked from all sides.

Therefore, although these Western Xia Iron Harriers are enemies, Liao Chen and the others know that each of these Iron Harriers has at least five lives in their hands, and they are very good at riding battles. He really fought face-to-face with the Xixia Iron Harrier, and it was difficult to say who would win or lose. And you have to catch them all, otherwise your whereabouts will be exposed.

After all, no matter what Zhao Yu said, there are only four hundred and fifty cavalry, and if they are well concealed, they can be ten with one. exposed his whereabouts, and said that if Zhao Yu walked slower, he would be dumpled by the cavalry of the Western Xia Army.

"Get them into the river!" Chen Laosan said proudly. "Looking at the way they looked, they had walked a long way, and they definitely had to replenish the water supply. Even if people don't drink it, horses have to drink it. Going down the river, there are slopes on both sides. As long as we stop the upper and lower reaches of the river valley, none of these iron harriers will be able to go! (To be continued......)
