Chapter 527: Into the Prairie
Everyone tensed their nerves and stared at the high chief's rapidly sliding body, the rope brushing sound. In a matter of moments, the High Chieftain had reached the other side. Jump up the cliff and wave excitedly to everyone.
Lin Wanrong waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hu." Pass the order down. Leave the war horses here. Everyone is light. Carry only rations and blades. Cross the canyon in no time. ”
The order was conveyed, and the soldiers were excited with a little sadness. Silently stroking the war horses that accompany each other day and night, the nostalgia is unobstructed.
Hu Bugui sighed, rubbed a few times on the mane of the war horse, suddenly gave up his heart, slapped the horse ** with a heavy palm, and the war horse raised its head and neighed. Hoofs hoofed and ran deep into the forest. Countless horses followed behind it, forming a black and white cloud, slowly disappearing into the primeval forest.
Lin Wanrong tied the rope and boiled it, and tried the reliability. Nodding slightly.
"Let's go!" Amidst angry shouts. He let go of his hands, and the rope rubbed into his ears, and Lin Wanrong took the lead, his body like a big bird with wings spread. Glide quickly towards the opposite shore. Clouds and mist tread under your feet. The sound of the whirring wind wafted past my ears. Lin Wanrong looked back. Under the dark canopy. In the distance, the green mountains and green waters of the Helan Mountains, the lofty cliffs and steep mountains gradually faded away, like an ethereal wind. No trace.
The glide is very fast. In the blink of an eye, I reached the opposite peak. The High Chief pulled him up. A thumbs up at him, the three ropes were tied tightly together, and the high chief whistled lightly. On the opposite side, three figures were brushed and brushed, as light as swallows in the night.
By the time all the brothers had passed, it was already dark, and the faint birdsong was coming to the eardrums. The gurgling dew hits people's cheeks, and it feels cold and cool.
"Broken rope!" Accompanied by Lin Wanrong, he drank softly. The three soldiers raised their swords and fell. The ropes used to cross the canyon were broken at the root, first slowing down and then hurting, falling straight down, submerging into the misty clouds, and the tragic feeling of blood boiling spread in everyone's heart in an instant.
Thirty or forty miles from this summit, the slope of the mountain in front of me became steep. It was as steep as a steel knife cut, and the spiraling sheep intestine path was full of rocks, only one foot wide and narrow, and behind it was an endless cliff, and eight were geckos climbing the walls. Grip the rock wall with both hands. Step by step. Sweat turned into raindrops and fell straight to the bottom of the cliff, looking at the foot of the mountain, in the boundless clouds and mist, they were like the quiet map on the petroglyphs of Helan Mountain. Worship people.
When coming down from a cliff. Everyone has a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe. The armor is all **, the numbness of the hands and feet seems to belong to them anymore, and thousands of people are lying on the cold canyon ground. Panting deeply. That scene. Even Hu Bugui, a good man who has been fighting with the Turks for more than 20 years, can't help but be amazed.
It's a short stretch of the road. From the hour to the twilight, according to statistics, hundreds of brothers were buried in the abyss, and their bones were gone. Before the battle of the surprise attack started, more than 200 people were damaged on the road alone, Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth tightly and did not say a word.
After climbing over two lofty mountains, the physical strength of all soldiers has reached the limit. Two days of sleepless marching. Even an iron man can't hold on. Look at the canyon in front of you, there is a faint sound of wind. Lin Wanrong finally waved her hand. The soldiers were ordered to camp and rest.
The formation has long been loose. They lay on the ground weakly and marched rapidly for four days. All the soldiers had stubble all over their faces, their armor was tattered, and their cheeks were completely thin. It's like a defeated soldier who has just been withdrawn from the front.
"See. I saw—" Just took a sip of water. I haven't caught my breath yet. The high chief ran over with a red face and a furious scream.
Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Brother Gao, didn't you go with Li Wuling to be a top soldier?" What, what do you see?"
Chief Gao took a deep breath. Try your best to calm yourself down: "Brother Lin." I saw it -- the front. Grassland! Endless savannah!"
Lin Wanrong stood up and grabbed Chief Gao's hand: "Brother Gao." What did you say?! Say it again!"
Tears appeared in Chief Gao's eyes, and he said, "Brother Lin, we have succeeded!" The steppe, overgrown with green grasslands, the steppes of the Turkic people. Right in front of us!"
Turkic steppe?! Right in front of us?! Lin Wanrong's throat was on fire. Want to talk. But his voice was hoarse. The High Chief grabbed him and hurried towards the opposite hillside.
The lead-filled legs were extremely heavy, and these few steps were like 10,000 meters away, and it was not easy to reach the top of the hillside. Just a glance. Lin Wanrong's eyes were moist in an instant.
In the haze and twilight, the prairie in front of me appears incomparably open and broad, with green grass. Blue sky. Even the air smelled faintly grassy. At the foot of the mountain is a pool of turquoise water, clear and quiet, sparkling in the sunset, shining with golden brilliance, and countless cattle and sheep strolling leisurely on the meadows by the lake. The sound of thunderous drums could be heard in the distance. The earthquake shook the mountain. Ten thousand Turkic horses flew like clouds. Run to your heart's content. Looking up to the sky and roaring, the black ground and white mane fluttered and rose in the setting sun. It seems to be the catkins flying in the south of the Yangtze River in March. Distant lakeside. More than 20 white tents are like small white flowers blooming on the green grassland. Bright and dazzling.
Grassland! The steppes of the Turks! We're really here! Lin Wanrong clenched her fists. I can't wait to look up to the sky and howl, and express the depression that has been accumulated in my heart for a long time, this feeling is like eating ice cream in June, which is extremely refreshing.
Don't know when. Countless brothers have gathered around him. Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths widened, and they looked at the endless grassland in front of them, looking stupid and dumbfounded.
Hundreds of years. The iron cavalry of the Turks trampled on the border cities of Dahua countless times. On our fertile land, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, countless brothers and sisters were ravaged by them and died tragically under their iron horse butcher's knife, and the blood and bones covered the desert desert wind and sand, creating a century of shame and shame in Dahua.
Countless soldiers. In my dreams, I want to carry the reins of a horse, step straight on the Turkic steppe, and use blood and fire to make a war knife to wash away the humiliation and suffering suffered by Aung Ang Dahua for hundreds of years.
Dreamed for hundreds of years, until today. It was realized by a group of remnants of soldiers who fell from the sky, their faces were thin and their clothes were tattered. The military appearance has long been miserable, but at this moment. They had swords in their hands. What is represented is the Chinese people! What an exciting time it was?!
Yellow tears fell on the rough faces of the soldiers, which had been devastated by the wind and sand, and countless people wept silently. The sad and proud voice is like a sobbing silkworm in a spring night. The faint sound sounded in the middle of the night in the prairie.
"General, just let me die here." Hu Bugui was excited and full of tears. With a thud, he pulled out his long knife and swung it violently towards the sky. The swift light of snow pierced the grassland. Straight to the sky.
Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and smiled silently. His gaze swept over the countless haggard and excited cheeks in front of him.
Countless expectant, excited eyes looked at him. Love, reverence, and life. There is too much meaning in it, Lin Wanrong choked slightly, waved his hand suddenly, and Cheng Wu's voice pierced through the gold and gravel, straight into the sky: "Warriors, the history of Dahuadi." Rewrite it right now!! You, my dearest brother, will be the first to break through the Turkic steppes!! Your figure is destined to become a monument that will always be remembered by my Dahua for thousands of years -- where is the sword?!"
"Roar", the snowy swords came out of their sheaths together, reflecting countless excited reddened cheeks, and the ten thousand snow lights were cold to the bone, as if they had cut off the grassland,......
The four-day journey of life and death, and the lives of more than 200 soldiers, were finally not wasted in vain. The moment they saw the grassland, everyone understood. The reckless Helan Mountain has been left behind by them, and a more cruel journey is coming.
"Brother Hu, look at the camp on the other side of the lake, who could it be?!" Lie down on the hillside. Leisurely chewing on a small grass, Lin Wanrong casually pointed to the tent in the distance. Asked comfortably and relaxedly.
After days of running, today I saw the prairie again. The soldiers were tired and excited. has already camped and rested for a long time, and Lin Wanrong and Hu Bugui discussed the current situation.
If Hu does not return to the estimation of unmistakable. The location they are in now is only seventy or eighty miles away from Bayanhot, that is to say. From now on. The Turks may appear in front of them at any time. Judging from the danger encountered across Helan Mountain. The Turks set up a grain and grass supply station in Bayanhot. There is a reason for this, and the sudden appearance of Lin Wanrong and these 8,000 soldiers will be even more mysterious, and it will bring unparalleled psychological impact and shock to the Turks.
With one foot stepping into the grassland, Lin Wanrong returned to the old tune of the past, and laughed a little more in his speech. It's incredibly easy.
"It's impossible to judge at this time." Hu Bugui shook his head. Glued to the dozen or so tents in the distance. Faintly *** peeked out of the tent, dotted with stars. It was like a lonely star on the prairie: "But it's a little certain." There should not be a lot of them, just a few hundred. No more than a thousand. ”
This is still up to you to judge, I can also see it, Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, and then said: "Is this a herdsman?"
"Definitely not a herder." Hu Bugui replied with great certainty.
Lin Wanrong glanced at him puzzled. Hu Bugui explained with a smile: "Although the Turks are nomadic herders, they will not send hundreds of people to graze the land at a time, and the number of people on the opposite side is a little more. ”
That's just as well. The Turks are stupid even if they have money. I wouldn't have sent such a big battle out to herd sheep at one time. Lin Wanrong nodded.
"Second, it can be seen from the fact that they set up tents. These are by no means herdsmen, general, please see—" Hu Bugui explained, pointing to the yurt in the distance, "their tent is very regular. It is in the shape of a large circle, and the outer tent is the densest. The further you go, the fewer tents there are, the more you are in the stars, and the more you beware, the more noble your status is. And if it is an ordinary grazing land Turkic. The whole family went out, and the tribe went its own way. The tent is much looser, never so compact and regular. ”
It seems that it is really right to bring Hu Bugui. Based on his experience of fighting the Hu people for many years. It was of great benefit to this raid. Lin Wanrong hummed and said, "Since you are not a shepherd. That's the Turkic cavalry!"
Hu Bugui shouted: "The last general thinks the same." If it weren't for the Turkic cavalry, what would they do with all those horses?"
Speaking of war horses. Lin Wanrong suddenly came to his senses, and all of their war horses stayed on the opposite side when they crossed the peak. And on the raging prairie, losing a war horse is tantamount to cutting off your legs. His desire for horses was stronger than ever.
Opposite the shore of the lake. Thousands of war horses rested quietly, looking from afar, like a dense dark cloud, tickling Lin Wanrong's heart.
"Ouch." Lin Wanrong clapped his hands violently: "I understand, these Turks are sending war horses to Bayanhot." Because it's getting late. It is not conducive to a large number of war horse movements. That's why they're stationed here, and they're going to leave for Bayanhot early tomorrow morning. ”
Combined with Bayanhot's special strategic position, Lin Wanrong's speculation is really reasonable. Hu Bugui nodded approvingly.
In other words, Bayanhot is really right in front of you! Lin Wanrong's heart jumped a few times. Secretly swallowed his saliva. Snorted: "Brother Hu, do you say that these war horses and Turks have been tamed?" Can we ride?"
Last time in Gohara. Five thousand Turkic horses were difficult to tame in a short time. He also cut off the horse's head. That's why there is this question.
Hu Bugui understood what he meant, nodded and said, "These are the horses just sent from the Hu Racecourse." Now he will not recognize the master, and only by sending it to the Turkic cavalry for training can he become one with others. Last time I slaughtered the ground in Gohara. It's the well-trained Turkic horses. ”
"You mean to say. At this stage, in the eyes of these Turkic Malaysians. Are we the same as the Turks? Whoever rides these horses is the same?" Lin Wanrong's eyes sparkled.
Hu Bugui nodded: "Yes, that's it, now this stage." The Turkic horse is a land that does not distinguish between Hu and Chinese. If we are well tuned. It is not known that these Turkic war horses are loyal to my Dahua. ”
Chief Gao listened to the two of them talking. Hearing this, he laughed: "Grandma." These Turkic horses are so miraculous, I thought they wouldn't betray their homeland, and I made trouble for a long time. These Turkic horses are also the same as our Great Huatian horses! What a traitor!"
A few people laughed. Sweep away the haze of the previous days. Lin Wanrong stared at the lake opposite. Pondering for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "Brother Hu, judging from your experience, how long will it take to solve those Hu people on the other side?" I want a place that doesn't slip!"
Hu Bugui smiled confidently: "Turkic people, it's scary to be in groups, there are only a few hundred people here." It's also a drop-off. Just let them cower in the camp. If you don't ask them to run on horseback, it will be easy to deal with, and it is estimated that it will not take more than half an hour. ”
Chief Gao followed Lin Wanrong's side. As time passed, I learned more and more about his habits. Immediately rejoiced: "Brother Lin, are you going to slaughter those rabbit cubs on the other side?" Engage in Turkic women, grab Turkic war horses, the day I am looking forward to has finally come, to be a beard in the Hu people's nest, grandma. No one believes it when you say it, haha-"
This old highland paranoia is really not light. Lin Wanrong laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Gao, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time." Not only do I not grab a war horse, quite the opposite. I'm going to send a war horse!"
Send a war horse? Chief Gao was stunned. I didn't figure out what Brother Lin meant.
Hu Bugui is so experienced that he figured out the key after a moment's stunned. Immediately rejoiced: "Send a war horse?!" Good. All right! This kind of custody is beyond the imagination of Hu Ren. ”
Seeing that the high chief was still stunned. Hu Bugui smiled and whispered in his ear for a few decades. Lao Gao suddenly realized after a few times, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Lin, you are really clever and use soldiers like a god, this time it is enough for the Turks to drink several pots." ”
Lin Wanrong smiled. Didn't speak. But Hu Bugui remembered something. frowned and said, "General Lin's plan is not lacking in a plan for the superiors. It's just that we have to deal with these Turks on the other side first, and we can't let go of one of them, which will take some thought. ”
This is what Lin Wanrong is worried about. He nodded and sighed: "Brother Hu is right, if one of these Hu people runs out, it will be in vain." How to annihilate them in the shortest possible time is the biggest problem. ”
The two of them frowned and pondered, and Chief Gao looked at the tent on the other side of the lake, and suddenly asked, "Old Hu, can these Turks have water?"
It's a question that doesn't end in itself. Hu Bugui was stunned. He replied with a smile: "Hu people don't take a bath all year round, what they are most afraid of is water, Brother Gao, what tricks do you have?"
"Tricks. Not really. "High Chief he. I pulled out a large paper bag from my bosom. I couldn't help but rub it flatly, and my face was full of **: "--I just remembered the methods used by Brother Lin before, which really made people and gods resonate and be infinitely subtle." ”
