Chapter 374: Scout

The sea of fire became more and more intense, and it was difficult for the dogs who were blocked outside to move forward at all, and after listening to the lord's order to retreat, many of the dogs and barbarians turned around and retreated to their own camp.

They withdrew, and the canons under the city were burned to ashes, and those who had climbed the walls were immediately left alone. The situation on the battlefield is changing so quickly, these dogs who rushed to the front thought they were warriors who knocked on the door of victory, but now they have become dead soldiers who have entered the door of death.

Behind is the sea of fire, in front of the crowd of Daxia soldiers, it can be said that these thousands of dogs and barbarians are dead end, whether forward or backward, although they are still holding weapons in their hands, although the performance is still fierce, but the eyes have revealed despair, on the other hand, the Daxia soldiers, morale is high, the thousands of dogs and barbarians are divided into several sections, and they are surrounded.

The battle has come to this, Yue Hu on the city tower let out a long breath in his heart, don't look at his calm appearance, in fact, his heart has already been twisted into a ball, his nervousness is by no means inferior to anyone present, it is really dangerous to the extreme, if it is not for the soldiers under his command to kill the enemy desperately, it is impossible to say that at this moment the dog Rong barbarian cavalry has broken the Shuitian County City, fortunately he did not get dizzy, and the reserved fire oil also came in handy, so when the battle was so fierce, pour fire oil to isolate the dog Rong barbarian horse, killing and injuring the enemy soldiers and second, The main purpose is to burn as many ladders as possible, as long as the ladders are insufficient, it will be difficult for the dogs to play a role even if there are more manpower.

His plan can be regarded as a great success, this fire burned most of the ladders of the dog Rong Man's ride to ashes, and at the same time greatly killed the dog Rong Man's ride, severely frustrating the opponent's spirit. He turned his head sideways and called the herald again, and said: "Pass my order, not a single dog is trapped on the city wall, and those who resist will be killed!" ”

An order was given, as if to give countless warriors to the Great Xia soldiers, and the dog Rong barbarian who was trapped in the sea of fire could not enter, nor could he retreat, and the war horse under his crotch saw this thick sea of fire, and he was even more panicked, full of uneasy humming.

"Kill!"

The flag waved, the Great Xia soldiers once again greeted it, and the dog Rong who was riding in place was anxious and hateful, but he just couldn't take half a step, no matter how they waved the whip in their hands, the war horse under the crotch just refused to take a step, after all, these animals are naturally afraid of these things, and it is too late to stay away, so how to get closer.

And at this moment, the commander of the dog Rong who was watching the battle in the back also frowned tightly, he looked through the fire, from a distance, except for the fire in the sky, he could not see anything, but could hear the cry of grief and indignation in the fire.

"Humph!"

He shouted hatefully, at this time he also had no idea, in this northwest border, it is pitiful that there is little water, even if there is water, it can't be used to fight the fire, what can be done at this moment is to cover it with sand, but at this moment, it is not easy to shovel up sand, not to mention, there is also the rain of arrows in Daxia, which can't be stopped at all.

In this Northern Expedition, Shaowu Hengyong made up his mind, whether it was the supply of grain and grass, or the bow and arrow blades, the Northern Expeditionary Army was the most priority to enjoy, in fact, he also had great hopes for Yue Hu and Liu Lian, he just wanted these two people to play the integrity of Great Xia and the majesty of the Han family!

"Is there a war report from the north?"

In the imperial palace, a somewhat gloomy voice sounded, under the candlelight, Shaowu Hengyong's brows were furrowed very tightly, he held the war in the southwest, but asked about the movement in the north of the small yellow gate on the side.

"Your Majesty, so far, there is still none!"

Seeing that Shaowu Hengyong's face was not very good-looking, the little yellow door knelt down silently and replied worriedly.

What an eventful time!

"Stand down!"

Shaowu Hengyong sighed slightly in his heart, then waved his hand again, and didn't say anything more, the world is uncertain, his throne is unstable, he killed the king and seized the throne, this kind of thing can't be hidden from people with a heart, he has vaguely felt that the wind in the whole world is wrong, it seems, this winter is coming early?

"It's really a hearty autumn day!"

Some people are happy and some are worried, at this time in Pingnan, Liu Fa's heart has gradually relaxed, although he doesn't know where Mu En is now, but he no longer cares about it at this time, although the Mu family is strong, but it is already the past, now Ye Wei and Ye Luo are also doing their best to find Mu En's traces, as far as it seems now, there are far more people who beat the water dog than sympathetic people, in the past, Pingnan can only be regarded as a second-rate family, but it has given Liu Fa a lot of useful news, and some of the foundation of the Mu family in the secret has almost all been dealt with by Liu Fa, but still can't find Muen's figure......

"General, there is a large army in Sanchuan, and there are signs of cooking!"

Just when Liu Fa was puzzled about Mu En's whereabouts, an urgent letter was placed on Liu Fa's case, Liu Fa was stunned, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, Sanchuan is only a hundred miles away from Pingnan, if there is really a large army, it is very likely to be Dali's people, because now in the southwest, except for him Liu Fa, that is, Dali, in addition, there is no climate.

"Check carefully, block the surroundings of Pingnan, Hanju, you personally bring people over, be careful!"

Liu Fa had to pay attention, because now he has not found Mu En, to be honest, if Mu En really stabs him in the back, the situation in the entire southwest will change greatly, thinking of this, he glanced at Han Ju, in terms of tracking this matter, Han Ju can be regarded as a familiar road, and Han Ju is also extremely calm, let him do it, Liu Fa is also relieved.

"General......

What else does Han Ju have to say, Liu Fa has already waved his hand, he knows what Han Ju is going to say, after all, Han Ju is his personal guard, and protecting his own safety is the most important thing, but at this moment, he is already a little angry, besides, if he really has something, Han Ju may not be able to keep it, if it is Liu Fa's tricky opponent, Han Ju is bound to have no way.

"You have done this well, not only to protect me, but also to protect the tens of thousands of brothers under my command!"

Liu Fa patted Han Ju's shoulder, looked at Han Ju, his eyes were indescribably serious, seeing Liu Fa like this, Han Ju was helpless, nodded solemnly, and then strode out.

"Stealing half a day of leisure, this seems to be really idle......"

Watching Han Ju slowly leave, Liu Fa had a wry smile on his face, brushed his beard, and unknowingly, it had been a few days of work in Pingnan, and the continuous autumn rain was about to mold people.

"Father-in-law?"

Just when Liu Fa was a little worried, a somewhat immature but very calm voice sounded, the young man stood behind Liu Fa, followed Liu Fa's eyes, and looked at the back of Han Ju, who had slowly faded.

Liu Fa turned his head, and when he heard this voice, a hint of softness flashed in his eyes: "Ao'er, why are you here?" ”

It is Liu Ao, now he is not much lower than Liu Fan, but he is just a head shorter, if it weren't for Liu Ao's empty right arm, he definitely looks like an extremely handsome young man, Rao is so, Liu Ao looks very energetic.

Liu Fa unconsciously looked at Liu Ao's right arm again, unconsciously sighed in his heart, slightly guilty, every time he thought of his son because he lost an arm, he was extremely heartbroken, remembering that when he fought fiercely with Yansai's fourteenth cavalry, Liu Ao's thin figure, trying to pick up the severed arm, he had an indescribable discomfort.

"Father-in-law, can I go with Uncle Hanju, I'm not a child anymore!"

Liu Ao obviously didn't see the guilt in Liu Fa's eyes, perhaps, he had already gotten used to it, he looked at Liu Fa with a look of hope, how much he hoped that he could do something that Liu Fa could approve.

"Well, this, Ao'er...... What Han Ju is doing is very dangerous, this Pingnan has not been very peaceful recently, you are not bad in the army, there is no need to go with Han Ju, so let's go to Qingyunfei's account, how about it? ”

Liu Fa was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Liu Ao to have such an idea, he just pondered for a moment, and immediately decided, although Liu Ao said that he was no longer a child, but he really didn't dare to give such a task to Liu Ao, you know, to be a scout, you have to accept the reality of death, and Liu Ao is really young now, he also lost an arm, Liu Fa doesn't want to just throw his righteous son on that dangerous battlefield, not to mention, if you let Han Ju take Liu Ao, maybe it will cause trouble to Han Ju, So he categorically rejected Liu Ao's request.

Hearing Liu Fa's words, Liu Ao immediately became anxious, he grabbed Liu Fa, and then knelt on the ground: "Father-in-law, let me try, I will definitely not drag Uncle Hanju back!" ”

"This ......"

Liu Fa was helpless, looking at Liu Ao's shining eyes, the father's love once again came to his heart, you know, Ye Ruoxin gave birth to a son not long ago, and the feeling of being a father for the first time was really emotional, seeing Liu Ao like this, Liu Fa also hesitated again, and it was a little difficult to make up his mind.

"Let him go, Liu Ao won't let you down!"

Just when Liu Fa was embarrassed, two people slowly walked in through the gate, the first person was dressed in chain mail, full of majesty, and the second person was naked, and the tattoos on his body were a little dull in this late autumn.

"Master!"

Seeing the appearance of these two people, Liu Ao immediately loosened Liu Fan's clothes, and then made a big salute respectfully, the two people who came were none other than Weng Tianhu and Nangong to control anger.

Nangong was in good spirits, but Weng Tianhu looked drowsy, obviously a little tired.

"See the general!"

The two of them bowed to Liu Fa, and then nodded to Liu Ao, with a slight smile on their faces, these days, their spirits are not very good, the tragedy under Zhang Ye City, everything is vivid, and they have no way to get out of these shadows.

Everything is as if it happened yesterday, Qin Wen, Qin Tianzhao and that poor mother, Xuanyuan Wu, this place that used to be surnamed Qin, changed the dynasty at that moment, and it was designed by them, such a big kindness really made Liu Fan difficult to accept, even Nangong was angry It was also difficult to imagine, so he and Weng Tianhu also had a stalk in their hearts.

"Liu Ao is not too small, when I was as old as him, I would have followed it a long time ago...... The people of the tribe have gone out to war! ”

Weng Tianhu rarely wanted to speak, he just wanted to talk about Qin Wen, but he paused again, and then laughed a little unnaturally, his expression was quite strange, Liu Fa was silent, looking at Liu Ao's eyes full of hope, and finally nodded: "Go, be careful, see if you can catch up with the cold move!" ”

"Yes!"

Hearing Liu Fa's words, Liu Ao was overjoyed, hugged his fists, solemnly made a gesture to receive the order, and then strode out, Liu Fa smiled slightly, then shook his head, seemed to think of something, looked at Nangong and the two of them, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Come in and sit!" ”

The two nodded, and at this moment, they realized that they had been standing outside this hall for a long time, and they had not yet noticed.

"I haven't found Mu En yet, and Sanchuan seems to have something wrong again, so I asked Hanju to go out to investigate!"

After Liu Fa sat down, he saw that Nangong Zhinu and Weng Tianhu were still standing a little restrained, so he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and motioned for the two to sit down, and then began to discuss seriously with them.

And at this moment, Liu Ao has caught up with Han Ju, Han Ju has already left Pingnan with a scout team, and they are going to investigate the situation outside!

The first time Liu Ao marched with these scouts, he had only stayed in the garrison for half a day before, and he hadn't had time to observe this army carefully, but at this moment, looking at the scout light cavalry around him, he couldn't help but compare these people with the warriors he had seen around Liu Fan.

Although these scouts were only light scouts, each of them showed extremely good equestrian skills - if he had not controlled the march and ran with all his might, then in less than a few moments, Liu Ao would have to eat ashes in the back. At the same time, each of these guys showed an indescribable toughness and vigilance...... It's like...... Wolf!

Yes, these guys are like a pack of wolves, silent, fierce, and have a gritty smell in their eyes. Although he is very kind to Liu Ao, Liu Ao obviously feels that these people do not accept him, and that kind is only a superficial distance. Although he is Liu Fa's righteous son, Liu Ao strictly followed the orders of the captain of this scout team, that is, Han Ju, along the way, and did not have any special treatment because of Liu Fa's identity as a righteous son.

The group went north, rode through the small county towns and mountains around Pingnan, and penetrated a distance of about a hundred miles, and during this time, they carried out a back and forth search of the serpentine route, which took about two days, and they walked very cautiously and carefully for this distance of a hundred miles, because they were not sure whether there was really a large army.

Liu Ao became familiar with these people little by little, and as time went by, Liu Ao showed rich survival experience in the wild, in the past, he also followed Liu Fa for a long time, and Liu Fa used to be half of the Orion background, when Liu Ao followed Liu Fa all the way south, he also learned a lot, at this moment, he slowly showed the excellent quality of a soldier, especially when looking for all clues, he can also provide ideas according to some traces, and gradually everyone's eyes softened a lot.

In fact, almost all of them have a kind of hostility towards Liu Ao, they don't understand why such a half-old child, and a person with a broken arm, the enemy will not care if you are male or female, strong and weak, there are only two kinds of people in their eyes, the living and the dead. Or rather, their own people and their enemies.

But now, these scouts' impression of Liu Ao has slowly changed a lot, because Liu Ao is smaller than them, and he doesn't have an arm, even so, Liu Ao has not complained, and he hasn't even dragged himself back, which can't help but make everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

During the break, Liu Ao and the scouts sat together to nibble on dry and cold cakes and drink cold water. After two days of searching, the area they searched reached a depth of 100 miles, and they carried out a fan-shaped search to the north based on the military camp, although the scouts were a little tired, but the fortitude on their faces did not diminish at all, and everyone's eyes were bright and full of sharpness.

And Liu Ao's excellent physique and physical strength also made these scouts begin to have a real affection for him. Liu Ao has never had the experience of surviving in such a group, but his easy-going and enthusiastic personality on the surface is the same as the appetite of these scouts, and Liu Ao never thinks it is a shame to ask people for advice, he is very humble to want to scout for advice on riding, because of his excellent physique......

Basically, it was to use brute force to force the horse to give in - and after two days, his riding skills had improved. The only thing that was a little helpless was Han Ju, he saw that Liu Ao was torturing the horses with brute force to suppress the horses with strength to succumb, watching his horse being made depressed by this kid, Han Ju could only sigh, to be honest, he didn't expect that Liu Ao's strength in one hand was not small, and it could even be regarded as divine power, because, after all, Liu Ao was only in his early tens, and a horse had to weigh four or five hundred pounds, just such a horse, which could make Liu Ao subdue with his bare hands, which can be seen.

On the third day, they came to a jungle, which was not too big, and the scouts ran around the jungle without any suspicious signs, so they decided to rest here for a while, and then set off for the rest and returned.

When the scouts were resting, on the three big trees with the best perspective around them, there were already three scouts who had been selected to be vigilant, and a young scout on the far right was wearing this thin layer of armor, although it was late autumn, but it was still thin, but the material of this leather armor was really not good, and the person who cut it was very uncomfortable, so that the scout squatted on the branch in a very ridiculous posture, and he was on the tree, like a falcon, looking at the surrounding situation, after all, this place has been out of Pingnan.
