Chapter 0022, Bright Sword [Repair]
When he was a child, Fan Jinyan often saw the wonderful scenes of fighting day and night in ancient times on TV, and many times he watched him enthusiastic, and often imagined that he was also in it.
But now, he only snores about it.
In ancient times, because of the lack of vitamins, most people had night blindness, and as long as it was dark, their eyesight was obviously inferior to that of later generations. Not to mention marching and fighting, it is difficult to even walk, let alone fight on horseback. No matter how good the eyesight of the war horse is, the teammates on its back are not strong, which is nonsense.
When Fan Jinyan was in high school, he saw an article that fully explained that ancient people were not suitable for night fighting. As mentioned above, many armies march at night, and by the next day they always find that many of them have deserted, some even more than half. How could it be so coincidental? In ancient times, it was mainly relied on conscription, and it was normal for there to be deserters, but many of them lost their way at night because they couldn't see the road clearly.
After taking the brothers to the pond, Fan Jinyan arranged for everyone to rest first, and then set out at dawn tomorrow.
"Husband." Liang Xiangru suddenly came to Fan Jinyan's side and wiped the sweat on his forehead for him, "Why didn't you see Jiu'er?" Did you tell him to explore the way? Why don't we leave now. ”
Fan Jinyan let Xiangru's intimate actions, sighed, and told Jiu'er's true identity.
"Huh?" Liang Xiangru's mouth was so open that she could stuff an egg, and she also stopped the movement in her hand, and suddenly became worried, "Then, will she go to report to Jia Wenhe?" Let's go! ”
Fan Jinyan held the small hand that was still on his forehead, smiled, and gave Liang Xiangru a reassuring look, "Don't worry!" Isn't there still me? You can't see at night, it's not safe to hurry, so we'll leave tomorrow before dawn. ”
"Ahem......"
At this time, there was a fake cough next to him, and Fan Jinyan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he looked at the person. This father-in-law is too old and disrespectful! Don't you see our little couple in Qingqing, me and me?
I was not happy, but I still asked very politely: "Father-in-law hasn't rested yet!" I don't know what to discuss with my son-in-law? ”
Boss Liang also felt that it was not the right time, and his old face couldn't help but turn red, and he pretended to cough twice before expressing the doubts in his heart.
The emotional old father-in-law is asking about the future! Fan Jinyan smiled indifferently and pointed to the south, "Let's cross the river and go to Jiangnan." ”
"Gangnam? The territory of the Ming Dynasty. Boss Liang frowned, and answered without thinking, "Didn't the dog leftover say that the fake show brought the official army of the Ming Dynasty?" Let's go to Jiangnan again, aren't we going to die ourselves? ”
Fan Jinyan shook his head, and sighed in his heart, his father-in-law is really not the material to be a leading figure, "Jia Wenhe's father-in-law must know what he is capable of, even if he defects to the Ming army, he can only take refuge in a certain general in Yangzhou City, and at most he can be a staff member." This time, he led his troops to attack, and eighty percent of them were lured by the war horses on the mountain. Therefore, this has nothing to do with our going down to the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, Jiangnan is not only mountainous, but also very rich, and if we go, it will definitely be more leisurely than now. ”
After Boss Liang savored it, he nodded yes, and the stone blocked in his heart fell to the ground completely, and after patting Fan Jinyan's shoulder, he put his hands behind his back and went back to sleep with peace of mind.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At dawn the next day, the sky had just revealed its white belly, and a group of twenty-six people were undoubtedly not dressed in cowhide and black armor, wearing a standard wide knife at their waists, one person and two horses, galloping in the depths of the dense forest.
The dense forest is located in the north of Tongshan, and if they want to cross the Yangtze River, they must go to Yizhen County, but there is Jia Wenhe guarding in the south, and if they want to bypass the military camp to Yizhen unconsciously, they can only go west to Liuhe County.
To the west of Tongshan is Yingtianfu, that is, the south of the Ming Dynasty, but the six-in-one belt of Jiangbei has long been the world of Dashun, and it was under the jurisdiction of Yangfu as early as three years ago.
Liuhe is just a small county town near the river, because of the loss of Yangzhou City, not only the city gate is closed, the soldiers of Dashun in the city see the group of people galloping on the field, they can't help but feel nervous as if they are facing the enemy, and the nervous mood is beyond words.
"Appeal ......"
More than three hundred meters from the city wall, the group of knights finally stopped their horses.
Among them, the leading knight was Fan Jinyan, who was wearing a black leather armor, and I saw him look at the small county town in front of him, and turned back to Boss Liang and asked, "Father-in-law, are we crossing the river in Liuhe, or are we going to the east, according to the original plan?" ”
Boss Liang looked at the calm river and shook his head, "No, crossing the river here is Nanjing, and there must be a sailor there to lock the river, and we are easily mistaken for Li Zicheng's people." It's better to go to the ceremony! It's safer somewhere. ”
Fan Jinyan nodded slightly, agreed with the old man's opinion, "Turn the horse's head and go straight to Yizhen." ”
After speaking, he led everyone down the city wall in a big arc, along the river, and went straight to the west.
It wasn't until they disappeared that the Dashun defenders on the city tower breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that the army that Li Zicheng can fight is either in Shanhaiguan and Tatar, or in Anqing Mansion to guard against the Ming Dynasty. In a small county like Liuhe, the defenders of the city are only one hundred or ten recruits who have not been on the battlefield, and it is okay for them to bully the common people, but they are asked to fight hard, and it is estimated that the enemy army has not yet attacked the city, and they will take the initiative to surrender!
As the saying goes, when people are unlucky, their hands will be stuffed between their teeth, and it is Fan Jinyan's gang of thieves who are talking about.
In the afternoon, seeing that Yizhen County was close at hand, he actually met with Jia Wenhe's group of officers and soldiers on the way back to the city, and there were more than 100 people riding war horses pulled down from the mountain.
Fan Jinyan was furious, and scolded from the dog's leftovers: "Didn't Lao Tzu tell you to kill all the horses? ”
The dog leftover didn't dare to fight back, and looked at Boss Liang who was already flushed in embarrassment.
Fan Jinyan doesn't need to ask anymore to understand, this old man is reluctant!
"Haha." Because he didn't catch Fan Jinyan, Jia Wenhe was sullen all the way, and he would never have thought that there was still a way down the mountain. But God seems to be on their side, not to mention how beautiful his mood is now, "Fan Jinyan, I really didn't expect that you ran around and still couldn't escape from my Five Finger Mountain." Today next year will be your day of sacrifice. ”
The other party rode five times as many horses as his side, and although there were two horses for one person on his side, it was almost impossible to escape the siege and interception of more than a hundred knights who were waiting for work for a day.
Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan didn't speak, just silently pulled out the saber hanging from his waist, turned his head, looked at his newlywed wife Liang Xiangru, who was also in the dust, and smiled, "Xiangru, if there is a next life, we will be husband and wife again." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Liang Xiangru to speak, he shouted, "Drive." ”
Straight to Javinhe.
The bandits in the back saw that if the two masters were brave, they also drew their swords and chased after them.
