Abatai thought about his thoughts, and passed through several tents, only to see dozens of blonde men in a circle around the fire, or holding arquebuses in their hands, or holding scimitars and axes in both hands, one of them sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a long-handled disc stringed instrument and playing, and two people in the circle were waving their knives to the sound of the song, the music was majestic and agitated, and the onlookers also high-fived and responded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Abatai couldn't understand their language, afraid of being interrogated and revealing flaws, secretly quickened his pace, they came out of the camp, only to find that there was another camp not far away, compared to the noisy and relaxed camp just now, this new camp seemed extraordinarily quiet and solemn, even if it was still hundreds of meters away, Abatai could feel the great power contained in it.

"Lord Belle, this should be that Liu Cheng's Chinese army camp, right?" Morgan asked.

"Well, even if it's not, it should be his headquarters, it's really extraordinary!" Abatai looked at the appearance of the camp, knew that it was difficult to get in, and was about to return, when he suddenly heard a sound of people not far away, and hurriedly beat his horse and flashed into the darkness on the side of the road, and after a while, he saw dozens of Mongolian cavalry escorting hundreds of young men to the river, and those young men should be captured left flanks. When the group had gone away, Abatai asked in a low voice, "It's getting dark, what do you think they're going to do at this time?" ”

"I think these captives are in the way, and they should be 'disposed of' according to the old rules, right?" Morgen made a downward gesture with his right hand, no wonder he thought so, since ancient times, the execution ground was usually set up by the river, otherwise it would be dark, why would he still take these Ding Zhuang out of the camp?

"Not really!" Abatai shook his head: "Looking at the appearance of these Ding Zhuang, it doesn't look like they have been hungry for a few days, the battle has been fought for a few days, and they would have been killed long ago, so why delay until now, waste food in vain." ”

"Why is that?"

"I don't know, let's take a look!" Abatai tied the horses to the side, and tiptoed up, the speed of the group was very slow, and they walked for about a meal before they came to the river, only to see that a pile of stones two or three feet high had been piled up on the hill by the river, and hundreds of Ding Zhuang were carrying stones to the top of the hill. Abatai couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw it: Then Liu Cheng spent a lot of effort to build such a stone pile for fun, but what is the use of this stone pile? If it is said to be a fort, there are too many places where the Laoha River can cross the river, and others can cross the river in another place when they see the fort; If it is a house, who in the grassland built the house on the top of the windiest hill?

Abatai was puzzled, when suddenly a shout came from the other side of the hill, which woke him up from his thoughts, and he hurriedly looked over there, only to see that the Ding Zhuang who were hurrying had stopped and knelt down one after another, and even the Mongol soldiers who were guarding around him jumped off their horses and bowed in salute.

"Could it be that some big man is here?" Abatai was secretly happy in his heart, he hurriedly concentrated his attention on the other side of the hill, and saw a group of figures walking up to the top of the hill, circling around the stupa, judging from the sound of scriptures brought by the cold wind, this group of people should be lamas.

"What the hell is this Liu Cheng doing? Getting a group of lamas to circle around the stone and chant the scriptures, isn't it going to do some kind of disgusting trick, who can't curse? Seeing the circle of black shadows on the top of the hill in the distance, Abatai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, didn't this Liu Chengmo know what kind of witchcraft to rise so fast? He also knew that there were some secret techniques among the lamas, and they could take the lives of their enemies without firing a single arrow. And Liu Cheng spent hundreds of lives on this secret technique, and the object of his curse is no longer known. Thinking of this, Rao is Abatai has experienced a hundred battles, and he can't help but shudder.

Abatai was thinking about whether he was going to rush over and destroy the secret art of this group of evil monks, when he suddenly heard the voice of a Mongolian soldier behind him: "Oh, look like this, I should build a floating temple here!" ”

"Futu? Are you sure? Abatai hurriedly turned around and grabbed the Mongolian soldier's arm and asked sharply.

"Not bad!" The Mongolian soldier nodded: "I have a brother who was sent to the temple to be a lama since he was a child, and he once told me that if the temple wants to build a floating temple, the monks should recite scriptures to drive away evil spirits, and this is what it looks like." ”

"Is that so?" General Abatai nodded suspiciously, and looked back at the lamas on the hill, at this time the lamas had stopped circling, but stood in front of the stone pile and chanted loudly, and the young soldiers around them also chanted the Buddha horn, the sound shook the four fields, quite sad and solemn. After listening to it for a while, Abatai also felt that this was not like a secret art that cursed and took people's lives, after all, as far as he knew, such secret techniques not only required the sacrifice of living blood, but also were generally kept secret, so how could anyone practice such evil arts in front of everyone?

After a while, when the lamas had finished chanting and stepped aside, the young men began to carry the stones up to the top of the mound and began to pile them up. At this time, Abatai could also see the prototype of a floating slaughter, and knew that the Mongolian soldier was right, but a new question came to his mind: Why did Liu Cheng build a floating slaughter in this place where there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back? Abatai turned his head and asked the Mongol soldier, "Why do you Mongols usually build Futu?" ”

"It is usually used to house the relics and Buddhist treasure scrolls of the monks, for the monks and believers in the temple to worship!"

"Then aren't all these floating temples in the temple?"

"Yes!" The Mongolian soldier smiled: "But there are also outside the temple, usually in a place with convenient transportation and many people, for travelers to visit and ask for blessings before leaving!" It is also useful for suppressing evil spirits! ”

"Suppress the demons? Visiting for blessings? Abatai was stunned and confused, when he suddenly heard Morgen high-five: "Lord Belle, I understand!" ”

"What do you understand, tell me quickly!"

"Lord Belle!" Morgen smiled: "I guess this should be the battlefield where Liu Cheng defeated the left wing of the various departments, and many people must have died. ”

After listening to Morgen's analysis, Abatai nodded, this explanation made sense. As the saying goes, kill 3,000 enemies, lose 800 yourself, although Liu Chengjun broke the left wing of the divisions, but it is estimated that there are some casualties, and it is normal to build a floating slaughter here to sacrifice their own soldiers. Thinking of Fang Cai's own cranky thoughts, Abatai couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Lord Belle, now that we have figured it out, let's hurry up and cross the river before dawn to go back!" Morgan looked at no one on the left and right, and lowered his voice. Although he is not Abatai's biological brother, but Abatai grew up eating his mother's milk, the two are particularly close, known as the master servant, in fact brothers, he was opposed to Abatai's personal crossing of the river to investigate, seeing the passage of time, closer and closer to dawn, he couldn't help but become more and more anxious.

"No hurry!" Abatai sat down: "Liu Cheng is quite interesting, he also knows that our army is not far away, but he is still building a floating slaughter here unhurriedly, I want to see what this guy wants to do?" Speaking of this, he looked back at Morgen and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, do you remember the barracks we just entered?" The composition of the army under Liu Cheng's command is very mixed, and the language is different, and we are very safe here. ”

"Then Lord Belle, when are you going to wait?" Morgan couldn't help but be a little anxious and asked.

"Let's wait until dawn, some things can't be seen clearly at night!" Abatai looked at the hillock again and said with a smile: "I'll take a nap first, if there is nothing important, don't wake me up, and besides, you let the two Mongol soldiers lead the horses to the other side, so as not to leak the news!" So saying, he hid himself in a crack in the rock, wrapped himself in a cloak and lay down. Morgen glanced at Abatai helplessly, and after ordering the two Mongol soldiers, he held his saber and set up a sentry outside.

Morgen has been on the road for the past few days, and Rao is his iron man, and he is already very tired at this time. Fang had been nervous with Abatai, but it was okay to be nervous, and at this time, a person suddenly became sleepy, and he leaned against an old tree to take a nap. I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt a slight vibration from the old tree on his back, as if someone was shaking it vigorously, and he suddenly woke up. Morgen looked around, the sky was already light, but there was no one around, and then he realized that it was not someone shaking the old tree, but a slight vibration from the old tree and the ground, and the rumbling of horses' hooves in the distance, and he immediately realized that a large army was coming.

"Lord Belle, wake up, wake up!" Morgan hurriedly burrowed into the crack in the stone and woke Abatai awake.

"What's the matter?" As soon as Abatai woke up, he subconsciously reached out and touched his waist knife: "Has anyone come?" ”

"No, Lord Belle, listen!" Morgan whispered.

"There is a large army coming, at least five thousand horsemen, no, it should be more than ten thousand horsemen!" With years of experience, Abatai immediately made an accurate judgment, and his face immediately became serious: "Liu Cheng is going to send troops?" ”

"I don't know!" Morgan said in a low voice: "Lord Belle, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

"It's too late!" Abatai looked at the sky outside: "It's dawning, go out just to hit it, so many cavalry, you will definitely not be able to escape!" Just wait for them to pass, and then find a chance to go back! ”

"That's all there is to it!" Morgen sighed: "I just hope those two Mongol soldiers don't catch them, otherwise if they tell you about your here, it will be troublesome." ”

"Hehe, don't think it's so useless!" Abatai smiled and patted Morgen's shoulder, poking his head out of the stone crack: "Just to look at Liu Cheng's army, it is not in vain to endure the hardships of this trip." ”

Abatai stretched and cautiously poked his head out, only to see the army marching along the riverbank in columns, stretching with no end in sight. The knight's horses were connected from end to end, and various flags fluttered in the wind, such a spectacular military appearance made Morgen feel frightened when he saw it, and Abatai's face gradually became gloomy when he saw it, and he muttered to himself: "Lakshen They said that Liu Cheng's troops are only more than 10,000 people, at most 16,700, but here alone there are almost 20,000 people, fortunately they didn't listen to them, otherwise they would have to be killed." ”

"Presumably, they deliberately said that Liu Cheng's troops were less, so as to lead us to fight Liu Cheng and recapture their subordinates!" Morgan replied.

"I think they think it's okay whoever wins, they just have to surrender the winner!" Abatai sneered.

As he spoke, an ornate canopy appeared on the shore, and next to it was a trident-shaped spear tip with a white horsehair. The knights who followed him were like clouds, innumerable, all dressed in iron armor, covered with various brocade robes, and all the mounts were majestic, and the harness and accessories were gorgeous. The rising sun from the horizon reflected the knights' armor, robes, and harnesses. Morgen stammered: "Tsk, there must be an extremely noble person under the cover, most likely that Liu Cheng is there!" ”

"Hmm!" Abatai nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that there are only two of you and me at this time, if I have five hundred elite horsemen in my hands, I will kill Nagai directly, cut off the head of Liu Cheng's house, the snake is headless, and this army will collapse without a fight!" ”

What Abatai and Morgan didn't know was that at this time, it was not Liu Ben himself, but the Great Khan Abnei. And Liu Cheng was wearing an ordinary armor according to his usual habits, and he was located twenty or thirty steps away from the back of the cover. In his opinion, wearing something too conspicuous on the battlefield, such as gold armor and a white horse, is no different from suicide. You must know that the Jurchens have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if any macho man cosplays Guan Erye, rushes over and cuts himself down, and loses his life, it will be just that, and it will be unacceptable to be ridiculed by future generations as an NPC like Yan Liangwen and ugly.

When Liu Cheng's army arrived near the battlefield, it was already early in the morning, and the sky was already cloudy and dark. The army marched slowly from northeast to southwest, slowly to the bank of the river, dense men and horses spread out to the two wings, there was no end in sight, the knights in the central part were like a wall, the spears in their hands were like a dense forest, black pressed to cover the bright colors of the sky behind them, across the hearts of Abatai and Morgen.

"Lord Belle, what is Liu Cheng doing here?" Morgan asked in a low voice.

"I'm not the roundworm in Liu Cheng's stomach, how do you know, just shut up and watch carefully!"

At this time, there were two trumpets in Liu Chengjun's array, and as soon as the trumpets fell, he saw the armies on both wings get out of the way, revealing several gaps, and groups of people poured in from the gaps. These latecomers remained silent under the threat of the soldiers, except for the occasional slight sobs, which were swallowed. (To be continued.) )
