"General! Come this way. (caihongwenxue.co_彩&虹&文&学)caihongwenxue"

Soon after crossing the Yellow River, a soldier discovered the situation (the latest chapter of Wu Dong Qiankun 81zw), Yang Wuqing urged the horse to step forward, and saw a dead horse corpse in the wild grass from a distance, full of seven or eight arrows, these arrows were rough workmanship, different lengths, with experience, Yang Wuqing recognized at a glance that this was the arrow of the Teller people, although the arrows of the Turkic people were not good, but they had begun to be made in batches in the past two years, at least the arrow feathers were neat.

Two feet away from the horse, a dead body was lying on the ground on its back, also hit by several arrows, his armor had been stripped off, he was wearing a thin undershirt, and the military boots on his feet showed that he was a Sui soldier.

A fire chief squatting beside him slowly lowered his head and said sadly: "His name is Guo Ying, he is our brother, and the lord ordered him to go to Yongfeng County to deliver a letter." ”

Yang Wuqing's heart sank, in this way, the defenders of Yongfeng County would not be able to come to meet him, and there were still more than three hundred miles.

"How long has he been dead?" Yang Wuqing asked again.

"Looks like it's more than an hour at most."

Yang Wuqing whipped his horse violently, and rushed towards a small hill not far away, standing on the hill he looked into the distance, the sunset was about to fall from the distant mountains, bursting out the last trace of blood-colored afterglow, dyeing the western sky, the surrounding wilderness was vast, and a layer of gray chill filled the entire land.

Suddenly, Yang Wuqing saw two small black dots a few miles away in the west, and he was also looking this way, Yang Wuqing turned around, there were hundreds of camels behind him, eye-catching in the wilderness, he looked to the west again, the two small black dots had disappeared, Yang Wuqing's eyes narrowed, he knew that they had been targeted by Xue Yantuo.

"I'm going to tell you something!"

Yang Wuqing's voice echoed in the cold wind, and dozens of people stood silently in the twilight, listening to Yang Wuqing tell them an unfortunate news.

"We've been targeted by a stream of steppe horse bandits, I don't know how many there will be, but it won't be less than a hundred, they're going to attack us tonight, we have to be prepared."

Kangbas's youngest daughter threw herself into her father's arms in fear, her mother lowered her head in horror and quietly wiped her tears, and the thirty camel drivers next to her were all earthy-faced, all of whom were Hu people from the Western Regions, who had traveled back and forth to the Silk Road for many years, and knew that it was difficult to encounter horse bandits.

Yang Wuqing couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in his heart when he saw their timid appearance, and he still counted on these thirty camel drivers to fight with him.

Niuniu is unusually calm, she has stood behind Wuqing, holding the hilt of the sword with her hand, biting her lip, she has only one belief in her heart, and Ailang will kill and release together, and go to life and death together.

Yang Wuqing quickly thought about countermeasures in his heart, he didn't care at all, the key was that he brought a large number of goods, and he had to ensure the safety of the goods.

In a blink of an eye, he had already thought of three strategies, to give up the goods and camels, and to take the people back to the fort, but he immediately rejected this idea, if he did so, his reputation would stink in the border plug, and escaping from the battle was the most despised.

The second was to take the people and camels back to the fort, but he still gave up this idea, and dozens of miles to the south were the Gobi Desert, which was more vulnerable to attacks and chalks, and the casualties were bound to be heavy.

Either continue to move forward and look for a favorable terrain, anyway, there will not be too many enemies, and in the end if you can't do it, you will break through.

"General Yang, I have a suggestion!" The soldier who followed Yang Wuqing raised his hand.

Huo Chang's name is Li Yungui, a native of Longyou, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who has been fighting the border for many years, not only has rich experience, but is also very familiar with the terrain here.

"You say!"

"General, ten miles further north is the Henghe Estuary Beacon, where the Yangma City is well built."

One sentence reminded Yang Wuqing that the Henghekou Beacon Crack was built on an abrupt cliff, and a strong sheep and horse city was built below, although it could not accommodate more than 600 camels, but it could place the goods, as long as the Xue Yantuo people could not get the goods, they would not leave, and they could place women and children in the Fengsui.

Yang Wuqing's martial arts are extremely high, even if he comes to three or five hundred people, he can kill them all alone, the key is that he has to settle the women and children well, so that he has no worries, he doesn't care about the sheep and horse city, he thinks of the Henghe Estuary, which is built on the cliff, just to place the women and children.

Time was pressing, and Yang Wuqing immediately ordered: "Let's go!" ”

The camel team set off again, this time speeding up and heading northward, Du Ruhui immediately stepped forward and asked Yang Wuqing in a low voice, "General Yang, have there always been horse bandits in Fengzhou?" ”

Yang Wuqing shook his head, "It's not a horse bandit, it's Xue Yantuo?" ”

Du Ruhui was taken aback, "Isn't Xue Yantuo in the Jinshan area?" Why did you come to Toyosu? ”

"I heard that they were hit by a snow disaster, Xue Yantuo has hundreds of tribes, it is estimated that many tribes moved south to escape the cold, just when the Yellow River is frozen, some tribes will organize small groups of cavalry into Fengzhou to loot, they come and go like the wind, and it is difficult for the Sui army to guard against."

Du Ruhui was silent for a moment, and then said, "General, give me a knife to read the pavilion!" I also practiced martial arts in Guozijian, and I don't want to be a drag. ”

Yang Wuqing smiled, took out a horizontal knife from the horse bag and handed it to him, and patted him on the shoulder again, "Wait a while, the grassland cavalry is not as easy to deal with as you think, they are very fierce and powerful, I don't want you to be killed halfway." ”

Du Ruhui slowly pulled out the knife and swung it twice in the air, the cold light flashed, but he was immediately deflated, the knife was too heavy, more than a dozen catties, he waved it more than a dozen times, his arm was a little sore, he sighed in his heart, he was really useless.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Xue Yantuo! ”

Immediately, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and as soon as Yang Wuqing turned around, he saw more than 30 Xue Yantuo cavalrymen rushing out of the woods two hundred steps away, brandishing swords and rope nooses in the dark night, and swooping towards this side. It was a forward sentinel, and hundreds of camels laden with goods burned their heads, and greed made them lose their minds, and they rushed out desperately to plunder the goods.

Yang Wuqing sneered, and immediately shouted: "Zhao Yungui introduced officials, women and children into the camels, and the other soldiers lined up in an arrow formation!" ”

The soldiers were all well-trained, and the fire commander Zhao Yungui brought several officials and Kangbas's wife and daughter into the camel herd, and the remaining twelve soldiers lined up in a line, with arrows and arrows, ready for battle.

Yang Wei and Niu Niu held weapons in their hands, each standing on one side of the soldier, Yang Wei did not ride a horse, standing on the ground with a sledgehammer in his hand, his face was full of excitement, he had never fought a battle, he could fight a bloody battle with the enemy, this was a feat that would only happen in his dreams, it was in front of him at this time, and his eyes were red with excitement.

Niuniu was a little nervous, she learned a small martial art, and she was not afraid of one-on-one fighting, but the impact momentum formed by dozens of Hu cavalry side by side was something she had never felt, and it was completely different from what she imagined.

She stole a glance at Yang Wuqing, who was only a foot away from her, his steady and solemn Taishan made her heart calm a little, she drew her long sword, bit her lip, and waited for the impending assassination.

Yang Wuqing drew out a double arrow and tied it up, this wind and thunder guide he had practiced no less than 100 times, but today was the first time it was used in actual combat.

When the enemy group rushed into one hundred and fifty paces, he sharply drew his bow and shot two arrows, which were like thunderbolts, and the two arrows were as fast as lightning, piercing the chests of the two people in front of him, and the two Xue Yantuo cavalrymen screamed and fell off their horses.

One hundred and fifty paces of accurate and powerful shooting made the other Xue Yantuo cavalry imposing, but the morale of the dozen or so soldiers under Yang Wuqing was greatly boosted, and they had heard that General Yang's magic arrows were unparalleled for a long time, and today they finally witnessed it with their own eyes.

Yang Wuqing no longer shot the second arrow, waited for the enemy to approach, entered sixty steps, and then moved forward ten steps, and then entered the range of Xue Yantuo's cavalry, Yang Wuqing gave an order, "Shoot!" ”

More than a dozen were shot out at the same time, five or six enemy cavalry fell from their horses, and Yang Wuqing was even more like arrows, shooting four rounds and eight arrows in an instant, and eight Xue Yantuo cavalrymen screamed and fell off their horses. Before they could rush fifty paces, more than 30 Xue Yantuo cavalry were killed or wounded, and they were frightened, so they turned their horses and fled.

"Catch up and kill them all!"

Yang Wuqing shouted, led more than a dozen soldiers to chase after him, the soldiers chased and released arrows, the enemy was constantly shot and fell off the horse, chasing more than 400 steps, seeing that Xue Yantuo's cavalry had gradually fled away, and the Sui army no longer pursued.

Yang Wuqing turned over and dismounted, came to an injured Xue Yantuo, and asked him in a low voice in Turkic.

Yang Wei's movements were a little slow, and when he ran up, the battle was over, and he hated him so much that he smashed it to the ground with a hammer, scolding: "I missed the opportunity again!" ”

"Ahh With a scream, Yang Wuqing killed the injured Xue Yantuo with a knife, stood up and said coldly: "You still have a chance!" ”

The Henghe estuary is about ten miles away from the Yellow River, a river flows under the beacon, there are hundreds of large and small rivers on the Hetao Plain, most of the rivers are flowing in the north-south direction, but this river is flowing in the east-west direction, so it is called the Henghe.

There are several low stone mountains near the beacon crack at the mouth of the Henghe River, tens of thousands of years of wind and sand erosion, make these stone mountains become strange shapes, some are like a pillar of optimus, some are like lying horses in the wild, the beacon is built on a stone pillar mountain that is more than 20 zhang high, surrounded by cliffs, can only be climbed by soft ladders.

Generally, they will choose to build in places that are difficult for the enemy to destroy, or cliffs or high mountains, and at the same time, they will build a sheep and horse city to house livestock and horses under the suspicion of beacons, so as to avoid predators and wolves.

Yang Wuqing stared at the beacon crack at the mouth of the river all the way, and seeing that it had never been lit, his heart was also slightly lowered, indicating that Xue Yantuo was far away and did not come so quickly.

The sheep and horse city of Fengxuan at the mouth of the Henghe River covers an area of one and a half acres, about two zhang high, local materials, made of stones, very strong and sturdy, in addition to the horses and livestock of the Fengsui soldiers, but also for the merchants to avoid the wolves, the building is quite spacious.

As soon as everyone arrived in Yangma City, they immediately got busy, and everyone unloaded the goods together and stacked the tea into Yangma City.

Camels can only enter dozens of sheep and horse cities, most of them can't be put down, Yang Wuqing saw that more than 100 steps away, there is a dense forest, he immediately ordered the camel driver to tie the camels into the dense forest.

Yang Wei scratched his head and asked strangely, "Wuqing, what should I do if the camel is tied to the dense forest and taken away by them?" ”

Yang Wuqing laughed, "Think about it, take the camels, what will they take to transport the goods?" They're not stupid. ”

Yang Wei slapped his head, "I'm really stupid!" ”

He suddenly changed his mind and asked, "But what if they only want camels and no goods?" ”

Yang Wuqing shook his head, "Both the Turks and the Tiele people believe in steppe wolves, and steppe wolves will never kill only half of their prey, and they will never give up until they get the goods!" ”

At this time, the five beacon soldiers also climbed down from the cliff and stepped forward to see Yang Wuqing, Yang Wuqing asked, "How many extra weapons are there in the beacon?" ”

One of the leaders stepped forward and reported: "General Hui, in addition to our own personal weapons, there are five leads, five knives, and thirty pots of arrows. ”

The standard configuration of the Sui army is a spear, a knife, a lead, a pot of arrows and a round shield, Yang Wuqing quickly estimated, so that he has eighteen soldiers under his command, plus him and Yang Wei a total of twenty people, each can be equipped with two pots of arrows, if the enemy is more than 100 cavalry, it can be easily killed.

At this time, a cavalryman who went to patrol the post came from a distance and shouted: "General, an enemy group has been found five miles away, and there are more than 400 people. ”
