readx; "Then how do you tell the number of enemy cavalry?" Li Dejian's contemptuous eyes changed, and he humbly asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The mustachioed hunter saluted Li Dejian and explained, "It can also be distinguished from the call of the falcon." When a falcon finds its prey, it barks to remind the hunter that there is something to hunt. But once the falcon finds that the prey is too powerful, or too numerous to hunt, the eagle will stop. ”

Hearing this, Li Dejian nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "Can you estimate the specific amount?" If we only know that the enemy army has a large number of cavalry, but we don't know the number, it is definitely a great threat to us! ”

The mustache hunter didn't speak, and Wei Hong smiled at the mustache hunter, waved his hand, and motioned for the mustache hunter to stand back. Then he stood up and explained to Li Dejian in person: "This requires a simple reasoning. All nine eagles were released, and it can be roughly inferred that the enemy's cavalry numbered more than 100 and gathered in the same place. If this is the case, it can be concluded that the enemy's cavalry is numerous, after all, if the 30,000 army, if it carries cavalry, it will definitely use cavalry as a sharp weapon, and will not only bring a few hundred cavalry, after all, hundreds of cavalry will not play the slightest role in the battlefield, but will also take special personnel to take care of these war horses. ”

After Wei Hong's explanation, Li Dejian's heart became clear and he stopped talking. Wei Zheng was very interested in Wei Hong's method of using falcon reconnaissance to reason about the enemy's cavalry, in the past, the Tang Dynasty used falcons to investigate, but it was only to detect the movement of the enemy, and it could not play such a big role. Now that this falcon is in Wei Hong's hands, it is like having two eyes in the air, staring at the enemy army all the time, I am afraid that Datang will also have this ability for Wei Hong.

The big war was imminent, and there was no time to delay, and under the instruction of Wei Zheng, Wei Hong immediately asked the hunter to release the falcon. Since the enemy's main force is more than 70 miles away from Liangzhou City, even if it is a falcon, it will take an hour to go back and forth. In addition, you have to follow the hunter below, always grasp the dynamics of the falcon, and determine whether the falcon cries, or keeps calling, or not calling. As a result, time is extended indefinitely. The people waited from morning to noon in the main hall, and after eating, they waited from noon to evening. Just when everyone was a little impatient, the long-awaited mustachioed hunter finally returned.

As soon as the mustachioed hunter entered the door, everyone, including Wei Zheng, was impatient to surround him and ask more questions. The mustache hunter was from the tribe and had little dealings with the powerful, and at this time he was surrounded by so many big people in the center, which flattered the mustachioed hunter and stammered when he spoke: "It's called, it's always called ......"

"Keep calling?" Although the people present were popularized by Wei Hong about the common sense of falconry, they were still a little unfamiliar with falcons, and after some recollections, they remembered the meaning of falcons that have always been called representatives. Wei Zheng was the first to figure it out, walked back to the top and sat down, put one hand on the navel, patted his belly, and laughed: "Okay!" Prepare the army immediately, and after two days, take the initiative to fight! ”

Cheng Chumo's mind was relatively slow, Wei Zheng had already ordered the battle, and he hadn't figured out what was going on. poked Wei Hong's ribs with his finger and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

At this time, Wei Hong had been promoted from the last seat by the door to the second seat by Wei Zheng, and seeing that Cheng Chu Mo didn't understand what was going on, Wei Hong took the trouble to explain: "The falcon only screams, indicating that the enemy army has cavalry, but there are too many of them to hunt." If it does not bark, it indicates that the enemy army has no cavalry. At the end, it keeps calling, which means that the enemy army has cavalry, but the number is so small that even hunters can hunt it. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo suddenly realized, patted his head, and said with annoyance: "Look at my head, Mr. has already said it once today, how can I forget it." ”

The decision to take the initiative to fight was thus decided, and Wei Zheng ordered that before the battle, no one should touch half a drop of wine, especially to remind Cheng Chumo by name of this wine barrel. The next day, everyone was busy preparing the army, and after a busy day, they were so tired that they couldn't breathe, and they fell asleep. As soon as they woke up, they put on their armor and weapons, and went to the front gate to meet. Wei Hong learned the lesson of dragging his feet last time, in order to avoid dragging the masses back again, this time he got up early in the morning, put on the armor prepared in advance, came east with a sword, and followed Wei Zheng to the front city gate.

On the way there, Wei Zheng sat on a tall horse, glanced at Jian Donglai a few times with great curiosity, and then said to Wei Hongyan with great confusion: "The Holy Lord asked you to bring the maid to Liangzhou to take care of you on the way, why did you bring it to the battlefield?" ”

Wei Hong had long known that Wei Zheng would be interested in Yijian Donglai, so he rode a horse and walked parallel to Wei Zheng, using his body to block between Wei Zheng and Yijian Donglai, so as to prevent Wei Zheng from putting his thoughts on Yijian Donglai all the time. Then he snorted and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't hide it from the elder pavilion, this woman is my personal bodyguard, with excellent martial arts, and she has saved me in danger several times." ”

"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, Wei Zheng was even more interested, after all, there were still very few female guards, and even there were only a few people around the saint. Wei Zheng wanted to take another look at Yijian Donglai, but Wei Hong stood in front of him, so he had to give up. But she didn't give up and asked: "Why does she cover her face with a light veil and not show her true face?" ”

Wei Zheng's question, Wei Hong had already been prepared, so as a difficulty, he stepped forward and whispered: "This woman looks extremely ugly, the old man has lived ten years less when he sees it, and the baby will cry in fright when he sees it." In order to avoid staining the eyes of the elder Ge, I ordered her to cover her face. ”

"I see, ......I see" Wei Zheng replied casually, not believing Wei Hong's nonsense, but he didn't doubt it, to put it bluntly, he didn't take Yijian Donglai to heart at all. Since Wei Hong is willing to take it, take it, who let the saint give permission. As long as you go to the battlefield, don't come up with any moths, otherwise it will be Wei Hong's personal maid, and the old man will definitely cut it off!

While talking, when he arrived at the front city gate, he went out to take a look, good guy, a pure cavalry army composed of 15,000 people, the momentum was monstrous, the ghosts and gods were not close, and even Wei Hong was seen for the first time. Wei Hong's jaw dropped in shock, Wei Zheng was no better, don't look at Wei Zheng's long-standing battlefield and often lead large armies, but he has never seen such a large cavalry. In these years, 30,000 or 50,000 infantry is already a large army, and if there are 7,000 or 8,000 cavalry, it is already a great army. Fifteen thousand cavalry? Whether it is a border town or a royal palace, there has never been a ............ (To be continued.) )
