The next day, the sun hung high in the northeastern sky, the grasslands shone with golden light, the dew on the green grass shone brightly, and the rivers sparkled in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info along the river, a team of soldiers with bright armor, riding war horses, carrying bows and arrows. At the front of the team, big men held red flags and embroidered gold letters. There is the word Li, there is the word Wu, there is the word horse, the middle of the team is Zhang Jie's military flag, the flag is divided into two sides, one red flag is embroidered with gold Zhang, the other is a huge black flag, embroidered with a golden tiger, staring at the sergeants under its banner, the tiger is embroidered with three big characters "Flying Tiger Army".

The military flag of the Flying Tiger Army fluttered in the wind, and the rivers and generals under the banner drank and practiced one by one. After everyone finished drinking, they wiped their mouths, and Jiang Hexing waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

The black flag was raised upwards and shook forward, and the front of the army began to surge forward, and groups of men and horses moved forward. After waiting for a long time, the back of the line began to move forward.

Jiang Hexing saw the team go away, and he returned to the city. Craftsmen from all walks of life were gathered to gather the materials for the construction of the city and prepare to transport them to Xianbei. （1。 29 sent)

Besides, the army at first marched forward together, and then they dispersed, from the original squares, to the longer and flatter rectangles, and on the third day, they were a long strip advancing on the grassland.

Along the way, the weather was fine and the wind was strong, and although the sun was scorching, the carriages and horses were hardly affected. Now the speed of progress is not fast, and the journey in a day is not more than 100 miles. Rest at noon when it's the hottest, and take advantage of the long days in summer, which is slow and leisurely, and you can do a lot.

King Kong rode his jujube red horse, looking at the endless grassland, the low hills that appeared from time to time. There are no particularly high mountains here, and compared to last year's pursuit of Buyeo, such a march is simply enjoyable. Hares, foxes, etc., that flew by in the grass from time to time made the archers itch and couldn't help but try the power of the bow and arrow several times. King Kong lost his temper, we were fighting, not hunting, and the archers settled down.

It was almost noon, and when the sun was at its hottest, I felt the heat steaming around me, and a few miles ahead, I always felt that the shadows were shining very brightly, as if the grass was covered with water. When I looked closer, it was the same as before.

King Kong was wondering why this was happening, when a black horse galloped from the east. King Kong didn't have the heart to think too much, so he hurried up and ushered in the northeast.

Seeing that the two horses came together, both of them restrained the war horses, and the black horse jumped down a black-faced man, sweating profusely, holding a parchment in his hand and saying: "Master Jin, our regiment has discovered a tribe of the Xianbei people in front, there are more than a few thousand people, my regiment has gathered, before I come, I am ready to attack." It is estimated that the drive has been carried out now, and we have prepared a company of cloud and thunder soldiers, under the escort of two cavalry companies, to launch the first wave of intimidation attacks. ”

King Kong frowned and said, "I haven't heard anything so far, so there won't be any surprises." ”

The black-faced man smiled and said, "Master Jin, more than forty miles, how can you hear it, I estimate that this meeting should be over by now." ”

King Kong nodded and said, "You take a rest first, and then go back after eating something." I'll send two people with you, and I'll have them tell me the details of the battlefield. ”

"Thank you, Commander, I'm okay, can you give me a different horse, so that I can go back now."

King Kong did not force him to stay, but changed him for a horse at the request of the black-faced man, and sent two more of his own soldiers away. King Kong ordered to rest on the spot. King Kong thought about it for a while, and passed down an order, if you want to hunt, you can only do it within 5 miles, and the time must not exceed an hour, and the whole army immediately cheered.

Everyone ate dry food for several days in a row, whether it was fried noodles or beef, and they were a little scared when they saw it, and they all wanted to change their tastes. After King Kong ate the dry food, he sat on the grass and looked at the sun in the sky, although it was hot, but the wind on the grassland was strong, and it felt a little hot. He grabbed a handful of grass, pulled out one and bit it in his mouth, clasped his hands together, rested his head on his hands, and lay on the thick green grass, the deep grass that the wind blew caressed his face from time to time, he felt that the world was so beautiful, he really didn't want to get up.

King Kong's mind was only relaxed for a moment, and he heard the neighing of war horses in his ears, as if several war horses were fighting around something, considering that he was surrounded by veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he was not interested in thinking about what prey they were fighting. After a while, cheers rang out, and then the war horses came to this side, and the voices of the people and the noise became louder and closer.

King Kong still squinted and listened as if he was dealing with the prey he had just hit, as if he was going to skin it or something. I fell asleep in the noise, and I don't know how long it took, and a pungent fragrance penetrated my heart. Immediately, there was a picture of barbecue bubbling with oil, and in the sizzling sound, others were feasting, but they could only be greedy.

King Kong opened his eyes, the sun was still so hot, he touched his clothes, he was a little hot, and sweat broke out on his forehead. Maybe it's because I've been worrying too much in the past two days, and I'm really a little tired, but I fell asleep all of a sudden, but I'm full of energy now. The scent came again, and he immediately stood up, and when he looked back, several warriors were gathered together, and the fire flickered in the middle. These boys are not afraid of the heat in the summer. Seeing that everyone was ready to eat, he came to the front, and when everyone saw the arrival of the division commander, they all got out of the way, gave him the best position, and put the meat cutting knife in his hand.

King Kong cut a piece with a knife, and he didn't care much, so he just held it with his hand and was about to put it in his mouth. A horse galloped to the northeast, and immediately one of them shouted: "Victory!" Victory! ”。

King Kong turned his head and saw that one of the soldiers sent in the morning had returned, riding back on a fast horse. King Kong put the meat in his hand into his mouth indiscriminately, chewed it casually, and swallowed it.

The soldier had already approached, turned over and dismounted, ran to King Kong and said, "Master Jin, our regiment in the east is the first to win, and we are now counting the prisoners and cattle and sheep. ”

"Oh, got it". King Kong put his mind at ease and let the pro-soldier rest for a while, eat something and report in detail.

King Kong saw that he was almost resting, and passed the order, leaving two people to wait for the other soldier again, and the rest of the soldiers continued to move forward, and drove forward again, and King Kong listened to what the soldier had learned about the battle while walking.

There was nothing peculiar about the battle, but the thunder soldiers were thrown over first, and the Xianbei people scattered in fright, with little resistance. The cattle and sheep are also messed up, and they are now being cleaned up. Commander Na Xu was preparing to escort the prisoners with a company of soldiers and drive the cattle and sheep back to Zhangwu City.

King Kong thought as he walked, Commander Xu handled it well, there should be someone to escort him, but if he had to escort him all the way, would there be fewer and fewer troops, or would there be a large number of men and horses on the road, but there would be a shortage of people when he needed to fight?

The team went until dark, and then walked forward for dozens of miles, and when the camp was set up, King Kong wrote a letter to Li Xiaoquan, suggesting that each division should draw a fixed number of people, such as a battalion to escort the prisoners, escort them to a fixed place, and the people of Zhangwu City would pick them up, so that it would not be too labor-intensive, and they could also come back quickly.

The letter arrived in Li Xiaoquan's hands the next day, and Li Xiaoquan saw that it made sense and sent the letter to Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie read the letter, pondered for a while, and made a decision to set up a prisoner collection point every 200 miles forward, and a regiment of troops was stationed at this point to guard it, and this regiment was drawn from the logistical forces. During the period of placement of prisoners, they should start working at the prisoner site, and later set up achievements at the prisoner site. The captives had to begin preparations for the construction of the city, and only when the people who received Zhangwu arrived, they could be released, and there was no need to send prisoners to Zhangwu City.

Zhang Jie informed the whole army of his decision, and also wrote to Jiang Hexing to inform him.

Ma Biao knew Zhang Jie's decision for the first time, while Wu Kui only found out the next day. Wu Kui had more prisoners here, and when he saw the notice Yile, he immediately dispatched a battalion of sergeants to escort the prisoners to Zhang Jie's first designated point.

Wu Kui continued to march with the army, along the way, as a few days ago, the Xianbei people almost did not resist, not because they didn't want to, but because the power of Yunlei was really beyond imagination.

Wu Kui calculated, it seemed that he had walked forward for more than 500 miles in Xianbei's territory, and there had been no major resistance, Wu Kui felt that something was abnormal.

The spies came to report that the attack of the previous few days had caused the Xianbei people to flee northward, and now they were all gathered about 200 miles ahead, around a huge lake.

Wu Kui was excited, it seemed that they were going to fight back. Wu Kui gave the order, and the whole army contracted, no longer pushing forward in a line, but forming three huge arrows to attack forward in divisions. The arrangement of troops was cavalry archers and mine-throwers in front, and pikemen and saber cavalry in the rear.

Wu Kui sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Jie to report the situation, and his side kept rushing forward day and night, and the spies came to report, and they would arrive at the lake in another 20 miles, and the cavalry of the Xianbei people appeared in front.

Wu Kui ordered to stop advancing, and the road by the water in front of him was unfamiliar, so he rested here and waited for the Xianbei people to attack.

Wu Kui looked at the terrain, there was still an endless green grassland, and it was obvious that the grass here seemed to grow more fat, perhaps with more water. The scent of grass emanated from the earth, and the western sun stretched the shadows so long that they turned almost everyone into giants.

The heat in the air has dissipated, and dusk has fallen. It seems that the Xianbei people want to sneak attack, Wu Kui ordered the whole army to dismount and rest, people eat dry food, and horses feed essence.

The men and horses didn't let them eat too much, everyone felt that the land in the northwest was trembling, Wu Kui gave an order, and the archers in front of them packed up and lined up in three columns, forming an arc, just enough to surround the enemy's arrow-like attack.

At this moment, a cloud of dust rose from the northwest direction, and under the dust, thousands of war horses galloped in this direction. The warrior's ears could hear the loud shouts in the distance, as if shouting a trumpet, some people shouted, some people responded, one after another. The war horse kept snorting and stepping on the grass, although it couldn't move, but it also wanted to run back and forth.

There was still one last trace of sunset, and the shadows of the warriors and horses were stretched longer. At this moment, the group of Xianbei people had already seen it, one by one, the upper body, the lower body was wearing short skirt-like clothes, there was no hair in the middle of the head, and there was a circle of hair, but it was not very long.

Wu Kui almost laughed when he saw their **** upper body. He also has to be fully armored and meticulous when marching in the summer, don't the Xianbei people really know that we have bows and arrows?

Wu Kui didn't speak, watching the Xianbei man get closer and closer, quietly watching how the soldiers in front of him commanded. The two sides were only about 200 paces, and the Xianbei people rode fast horses, and the bows and arrows began to shoot into the sky, and some bows and arrows could actually fall on the body of the Pingzhou sergeant. However, they were fully armoured, and it had little effect, except that a few horses were injured.

The distance was already 150 steps, and each of the Pingzhou army raised their bows and arrows, and under the order of their respective commanders, the bows and arrows shot straight at the Xianbei people in front. The Pingzhou bow and arrow were heavy and steady, flying forward with a dull sound, and the bow and arrow of the Xianbei people in the sky kept falling.

At a distance of 100 steps, the Xianbei people kept falling off their horses, with long arrows in their chests, and blood flowed.

The bows and arrows of the Pingzhou army shot more violently, and the soldiers did not aim, but drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the arrows in front. The Xianbei people continued to fall off their horses, and there were also a few wounded in the Pingzhou army, some of whom just shot into the eyes, covering their eyes and grieving.

The horses of the Xianbei people could no longer run, and two groups of mine-throwers of the Pingzhou army had quietly circled to their left and right. The Xianbei people had already found that someone was approaching, and the bow and arrows rained down, and the thunder thrower just bowed his head to urge the horse, and several horses had already tied the bow and arrow, and the blood flowed all the way, and the thunder thrower urged the horse to rush to the Xianbei people as soon as possible. A few horses screamed and fell on the way to the charge, and the thunderslingers slammed into the flames, picked up the explosive bags, and rushed towards the Xianbei people.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Xianbei people, several mine-throwers threw forward with the help of their horses, and then all the mine-throwers took off the explosives bags in their hands, and some were at least 20 steps away from the Xianbei people.

The mine-throwers dodged one after another, some turned their horses and ran back, and some ran towards the Pingzhou brigade in quick steps.

Soon after they ran away, a loud bang began to sound behind them. The Pingzhou military horses were not used to seeing each other, and the sabre team and the spear team had been transferred behind the archers, and the archers dodged one by one, and the explosion sounded one after another. The saber team here has already killed the Xianbei people with their sabers in hand, and the spear team over there has also fought with the Xianbei people.

It wasn't dark yet, and Wu Kui saw that there were already a few stars in the sky. I thought that it seemed that I was going to fight at night, so I ordered my men to prepare torches, and this time it was going to be enjoyable.
