The soldiers of the Heavenly Army have been eating dry food at noon since they left the customs. In this cold weather, it is indeed very sinful to gnaw on hard food.
Not only is there a big win right now, but everyone is really happy to stop for a lunch with meat. The entire convoy was as joyful as the New Year.
Hu Kuan didn't chase far, and turned back in less than half an hour, just when he ran into Kai Dinner. A group of leaders, drinking hot horse broth, eating buns, and from time to time sandwiching a piece of horse meat, discussed things at the same time.
Hu Kuan's pursuit killed nearly 100 people and obtained more than 150 intact war horses. The reason why there are more people than horses is because Bu Shitu's people scattered and fled in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the convoy, and there were not many people in a single direction. In addition, their Mongolian horsemanship was practiced from childhood riding to adulthood, and they were desperately trying to escape, so they escaped a little.
And on the way back to Hu Kuan, they picked up some ownerless war horses, and they became more people than horses.
At this time of dinner, Hu Guang told him about his plan to forcibly march and got the approval of the leader of the seat. Among them, Tana also volunteered to suggest that if she went directly to the eagle's beak ditch, according to the previous marching speed, it would be almost possible to reach it in more than four days. Otherwise, I'll hurry back to the eagle's beak ditch, and I should be able to make up more than 200 horses to ride over to pick it up, what do you think? ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Hu Guang, who was snorting and drinking soup, waiting for his opinion.
It would be great if there were more soldiers, even if it was just a hundred or so. But Hu Guang was still a little worried and said: "Bu Shitu's men and horses scattered and fled, if you go back with fewer people, if you encounter them, it will be dangerous, I don't think it's very appropriate." ”
He paused, and then continued: "And in the army, you also need people who are familiar with the grassland to stay, otherwise you will encounter people again." It's also troublesome to not know the details of the other party. ”
Hu Guang's worry is not unreasonable, Tana heard it, raised her eyebrows, thought about it for a while, and then had another idea: "It's okay, I'll go back with Xianghan." One man with two horses. It's familiar here, and it's going to be fine. Uncle Mo stays here, he is there, and there is no problem in leading the way and recognizing people. ”
Hu Guang was still a little hesitant when he heard this, and said worriedly: "You two little girls are really not at ease when you go on the road." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and said to Liu Daneng, who was sitting on the side: "Da Neng, you send a platoon of cavalry out and escort Tana back!" ”
Liu Daneng didn't answer yet. Tana had already flatly refused: "No, there are not many soldiers in the Heavenly Army, and we can't disperse our forces anymore." When this girl is galloping across this grassland, you are still ...... There is no rebellion in Fugu! ”
She originally wanted to say that you are still breastfeeding, but fortunately she stopped immediately and changed her words, otherwise it would be difficult to step down in front of so many leaders.
Xianghan had been standing behind Tana. Seeing that the atmosphere was still harmonious, he had the audacity to interject: "Uncle, don't worry." My lady's riding skills are good! ”
Tana blushed slightly when she heard her uncle in person, and before she could react, she heard Xianghan praise her good riding skills in public, and she was very useful.
But at this moment, I heard Xiang Han still saying over there: "In the future, the Tianjun will be the home of the young lady." Before entering the door, you have to behave well, let my uncle see my young lady..."
"You damn girl, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" When Tana heard this, she was ashamed and annoyed, threw the bowl and stood up to chase after Xianghan, who fled quickly.
Listen to the laughter and shouts of silver bells. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. To tell the truth, the leaders present are somewhat repulsed, or do not have that sense of closeness, to Tana, who appeared halfway and did not do anything. At this time, when I saw that I could take the initiative to consider calling the heavenly army and take the risk to bring reinforcements over, this favorability skyrocketed.
Especially Hu Hansan, Tana can do some "bad things" behind their backs with them, which has shortened the distance between each other.
Hu Kuan smiled and looked at the younger siblings who were "annoyed and angry", turned back to Hu Guang and said: "Second brother, since she wants to do something to call the heavenly army, let her go, the girl on the grassland, not so weak, and besides, this place is not very far from the eagle's beak ditch." ”
Uncle Mo had already come over when he heard the sound, and after figuring out what was going on, he also said, "It's okay, my young lady's riding skills are amazing, and she will be fine." ”
At this point, Hu Guang finally nodded and agreed, and then discussed the itinerary with them.
Before saying goodbye, the others deliberately avoided it, Hu Guang didn't care, took out his binoculars and handed it to Tana and said, "Be careful yourself, I'm still waiting for you to marry me willingly!" ”
Tana was not prepared for this, and immediately flushed all over her delicate face when she heard it. Her beautiful eyes stared at Hu Guang for a while, and then suddenly said: "Be careful yourself, you haven't proved your achievements to me yet!" There are also activities of the Chahar tribe in this area, so keep an eye out for them. ”
When Hu Guang heard this, he laughed silently. Although Tana didn't admit it, he could conclude that he should have captured her heart!
Tana saw Hu Guang's weird smile for no reason, and for some reason she was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't say goodbye to Hu Guang, so she turned around and turned over on the horse, and drove away. Xiang Han on the side saw it, and he also hurriedly followed.
Hu Guangmu sent the two of them away, and he didn't stay any longer, and ordered to pull out.
Either there had just been a war, and the whole army of the heavenly army was deeply aware of the insecurity on the grassland, or there were many more horses, increased animal power, or maybe there was a group of free porters, so that the speed of the heavenly army was even faster than any previous day.
They started camping very late, and the cavalry posts were placed far away. Not only Tana reminded him, but Uncle Mo also said that there are still people who need to guard against Lin Dan Khan in this area.
Fortunately, there was nothing to do all night, and it was not until almost noon the next day that the people who found Bu Shitu at the back of the team followed again.
Hu Guang found through the telescope that there were probably not even a thousand people in that group. They didn't dare to approach the heavenly army, but they were reluctant to leave, and they kept hanging their tails far away.
At this moment, Hu Guang's brows furrowed, what he was most afraid of was those Mongolian cavalry harassing the march. If the number of cavalry in his hands is larger, with the morale and courage of the heavenly army, he will definitely be able to defeat those Mongolian cavalry. But now ......
Hu Kuan naturally understood this, and he immediately said to Hu Guang: "Second brother, you lead the team to march as soon as possible, and I will take the cavalry battalion to guard outside the car." These defeated armies alone are nothing, I am afraid that they will hook more troops, and then there will be big trouble. ”
Yes, at that time, the other party will know most of the details on his side, and he will not be so easily fooled, and the measures taken will inevitably be targeted.
Hu Guang thought about it, and his brows furrowed even tighter. If such a situation really occurs, I am afraid that the Heavenly Army will have to pay a big price! (To be continued......)
