At dawn, Yang Hao's team set up camp, and because there were women and children in Tuoba Yan's camp, their movements were slower, and the smoke in front of many camps had just been lit.

Yang Hao got on the horse, glanced at the Bai Ling clan's station, and instructed Mu Kui: "Go and inform me, let's go on the road first." "I was just entertained last night, and these courtesies are still due, Mu Kui agreed, and rushed to the Bai Ling clan's station.

When the sun rose a pole high, Bai Ling's team caught up from behind, and they were far away from Yang Hao's men and horses two arrows away. On the grassland, the weak caravan and other people's teams can prevent the horse thieves and some tribes from taking advantage of the profits, robbing and robbing, especially last night just with the people of the Meisi tribe, although those people were wiped out, but it is difficult to predict whether there are still people watching in the secret, and it is reasonable for Tuoba to be more careful.

After passing through the yellow earth, you will enter a grassland again. The autumn grassland has a kind of autumn beauty, the yellowed weeds are like a huge carpet, softly spread on the boundless earth, and the breeze passes, rippling layers of waves. The small flowers that cannot be named are dotted and still bloom tenaciously with their beauty.

Follow the Wuding River, far away, the river meanders from afar, like a jade belt swirling on the earth, with the terrain sometimes rising, sometimes low, the sky is blue and distant, the grassland seems to be stationary, but sometimes you will see some wild animals, to this quiet and grand natural picture rendering a little lively.

All the way, the Bailing tribe traveled with Yang Hao's men and horses, and after two days, they often gave each other some gifts, and they got along very harmoniously. In the evening of that day, Mu En looked at the weather and told Yang Hao that there might be heavy rain tonight or tomorrow, so it was best to camp on higher ground and make the bed higher.

As soon as Mu En finished speaking, Xiao Shi carried his small bow on his back and rode a tall jujube red horse and chased after him from behind: "Lord Yang, my father said that there may be heavy rain coming tonight or tomorrow, and he asked me to remind my lord that it is best to camp on higher ground." ”

This young man was originally very arrogant, that night's banquet, looking at Yang Hao and his entourage, he looked a little ignorant, he got along well in the past two days, probably his father also explained to him Yang Hao's status and influence on the Bailing clan, so when this child saw Yang Hao, he was a little respectful and less arrogant.

Yang Hao smiled: "I know, Xiao Shi, thank Lord Lingzun on my behalf." ”

Seeing what he said politely, Xiao Shi also grinned. Women hate men shouting and killing, but if this man shouts and kills for women, it will be different, Tang Yanyan likes the ruthlessness of this young man when he shoots the robber, so he jokes with a smile: "Xiaoshi, now that you have a bride and become an adult, you actually became a messenger." ”

Xiao Shi raised his head and said proudly: "I was originally an adult." ”

Mu Kui laughed and said, ", you're also an adult?" The hair hasn't grown, you have a woman, what do you want her to do? ”

Xiao Shi snorted with a snort: "Of course, it's to make a bed for me, fold the quilt, do laundry and cook." What else can a woman do? ”

The group of rugged men next to him immediately burst into laughter, and some people started joking, although Xiao Shi couldn't understand their meat words, but he also found that what he said didn't seem to be so right, his face was red, he couldn't hold back for a while, he threw off a pigtail, and fled as if he was flying away, and there was immediately a more energetic laughter behind him.

Luling Prefecture and Bai Ling's camp have chosen a high terrain, and the nail piles of the tent are also deeper than usual, to prevent the heavy rain at night from being washed away by the tent, the heavy rain on the grassland is very strong, especially in autumn, once the person is drenched, it can freeze the person to the bone, no less than wearing a single coat to walk on the street in the cold winter wax moon.

The wheels were also lifted up with stakes, and the goods were not unloaded, and the lighter goods on the camels were not moved, and the heavy ones were unloaded, and the lower ones were also padded, and the upper sides were tightly bandaged with tarpaulin, so as not to be caught in the rain.

The night was about to pass, but the expected heavy rain did not come, in the early morning, Yang Hao suddenly woke up, was awakened by a slight tremor of the earth, because he was afraid of rain, he was lying on the couch with his clothes, and then sat up in surprise, and felt that the wooden couch at the place of his hand trembled slightly.

"Earthquake? If there is an earthquake on this grassland, there is nothing to be afraid of, and even if this tent falls, it will not kill anyone. Something is wrong......"

Yang Hao woke up suddenly, rolled over and rolled to the ground, put his ear on the grass and listened to the movement quietly, the dull rumble sound was like countless war drums beating rhythmically in the distance, gathering together into a dense "boom" sound. Yang Hao suddenly woke up: "It's the sound of horses' hooves, it's the sound of horses' hooves of the brigade, it's closer, it's closer, it seems to be sounding overhead......"

He jerked his head up and saw Mu Kui standing in front of him, only to hear the sound of his footsteps ringing nearby.

"Young master, a large group of men and horses are galloping over, Mu En is calling the soldiers, please quickly hide your body and the merchants to prevent being injured by stray arrows."

Yang Hao jumped up, grabbed the saber at the head of the bed, rushed out without looking back, and threw down a sentence: "You go and call the merchants to hide, and I'll go and see the situation." ”

Yang Hao was stunned as soon as he came out of the tent, at this time the sky was already faint, and a thick fog was pulled between heaven and earth, the fog was confused, and it was difficult to see the figure of the person more than ten steps away. Thanks to the fact that when the camp was settled, the merchants were already in the inner circle, and all the soldiers participated in the placement of the camp, familiar with the arrangement of the four places, and the timely notification of the sentry, so at this moment, the soldiers on the periphery had already used the vehicle camel as a cover, and were ready for battle.

Yang Hao rushed to the front and followed Mu En's loud voice: "Mu En." ”

"My lord, why are you here, this fog is so thick, it will be difficult to guard against it if you shoot a few cold arrows, please retreat."

Yang Hao said: "I am the head of the three armies, now the enemy situation is unknown, and because of the fog it is difficult to identify among the soldiers, if I retreat, these soldiers with little experience in battle will definitely panic." ”

After that, he walked along the circle and shouted: "Bow down, prepare with arrows, now it is difficult to understand the enemy and me, if anyone approaches without authorization, let the arrows to block." Wherever the horse's hoofs sound, shoot it. The soldiers were a little flustered, but when they heard the commander's voice, they were much calmer.

Mu En stomped his feet, hurriedly chased after him, casually buckled his helmet to Yang Hao, and took a round shield and handed it to Yang Hao, Yang Hao held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and pacified the formation around the formation, and then when he arrived at the starting place, he saw Mu Kui standing there listening to the fog.

Yang Hao stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, has anyone ever been in contact with us?" ”

Mu Kui turned around and saw that it was him coming, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Not yet, listen to the voice, the people who came should be within two hundred horses, the number is not very many, listening to the sound of their shouting, like a horse thief on the grassland, and now he has done it with the Bai Ling clan." ”

"Oh?" Yang Hao took two steps forward, listened attentively for a while, there was a faint sound of fighting and weapon impact in the fog, but it was not dense, obviously this fog was not good for the defender, and it was also unfavorable for the attacker, the two sides could not understand each other's situation, and there was no major contact for the time being.

Yang Hao pondered for a moment and ordered: "Hold your troops and pay close attention to their movements." ”

He pondered in the bunker for a while, and said slowly: "The situation of the enemy is unknown, and I don't know if we know our strength, now that the fog is so heavy, it is not easy for us to support them, but fortunately, there are not many people, only two hundred horsemen, the White Spirit Department should be able to support the defensive position for a while, and when the fog dissipates, it will be easy to rescue them." ”

Mu En let out a "hmm" and said, "On the grassland, it is a common occurrence for one tribe to be suddenly attacked by another tribe. Normally, as long as the men can escape and bring their valuables with them, they will not leave anything for the other party. But now it's different, the Bai Ling clan went to the Yeli tribe to do business, and more than a dozen carts of property were at least half of their belongings in the village, and they were reluctant to throw it away, not to mention that this fog, once they escaped, they would inevitably collapse, and they could only be eaten up by the enemy one by one. ”

As soon as he said this, he heard a woman's voice say: "Yang Hao, Yang Hao, Yang Hao, Yang Hao, Yang Hao, Yang Hao, Yang ......"

"Don't call it a ghost, I'm here!" As soon as Yang Hao heard it, he knew that it was Tang Yanyan who had arrived, so he responded angrily.

"Yang Hao, I can find you." Tang Yanyan jumped out of the mist like a female ghost, neatly dressed, still the Hanfu from last night, just a cloak, obviously in a hurry, he didn't care about straightening his hair: "Lord Yang, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Hao looked at the clouds of fog outside, and said with a solemn expression: "If nothing else, I guess we have an accident." ”

Tang Yanyan was stunned, revealing a look of crying and laughing, Yang Hao glanced back at her, and asked with a straight face: "All the businessmen have already hid in the inner circle, you should also hide in it now, who allowed you to come out." ”

Tang Yanyan's eyes widened: "Yeh? Isn't that the time to ask me for help? ”

Mu En and Mu Kui turned their heads with a smile, and suddenly, they heard a sharp sound of horses' hooves in the fog, and four or five healthy horses galloped towards their defensive ground, and at the same time several cold arrows shot at the same time, one of them hit the carriage as a cover with a thud, and Mu En and Mu Kui picked up a wooden shield and rushed up, shouting: "Shoot, shoot!" ”

Yang Hao didn't say a word, grabbed Tang Yanyan and pressed her under him, Tang Yanyan struggled and said, "Let go of me, let go of me." ”

Yang Hao's fingers flicked a few times, and he subconsciously wanted to pump her ass, this little girl who didn't know the severity really pissed him off, and he reprimanded him sharply: "What are you messing about, if you have three long and two short, how can I explain to the Tang family?" ”

Tang Yanyan shouted: "I'm standing on this side of the carport, will the arrow bend, you will kill me." ”

"Oh." Yang Hao came to his senses at this time, let go of her in a sneering manner, and instructed: "Just squat here and don't move, I'll go and see." With that, he also ran forward. Tang Yanyan rubbed his ribs that were hurt by the car, tilted his head to think about it, and suddenly smiled, and he didn't know what happy things he thought.

"How many people came?" Yang Hao ran to Mu En's side with his sword, and Mu En shook his head: "There are only a few people, they are just tentatively attacking, testing our strength." ”

As soon as the words fell, a few horses galloped forward, fast as the wind, and after shooting a few cold arrows, they roared back and forth, and under the cover of the fog, these scattered horses came and went like flies, like ghosts, making people unguardable, and always in tension.

Mu En smiled coldly and ordered: "If there is no large group of men and horses coming, don't shoot arrows again." Mu Kui, choose a marksman everywhere, with cold arrows against cold arrows, in the fog, fast horses come and go like the wind, it is not easy to shoot people, so he shoots horses. ”

Mu Kui agreed, galloped out, and after a while, the guards in all directions got the news, holding bows and arrows is just a guard, and no one will respond to the nuisance of the ranger again, as long as the shadow of the horse in the fog shows a little trace, or the sound of the horse's hooves can be heard clearly, and the person who is good at shooting the strings does not say a word, and the head is shot out of a cold arrow.

This time, those rangers were not smart, one hid behind the bunker, one rode a horse galloping, and also shot cold arrows at each other, naturally the enemy suffered a loss, only the sound of horses neighing and people were heard in the fog, and I didn't know how many people were injured, the disturbing rangers finally disappeared, and then the fighting sound in the direction of the Bai Ling clan's camp was louder, obviously this side could not take advantage, and launched an attack on Bai Lingzhai.

Mu Kui said: "There are only more than 200 people in the Bai Ling Clan, and there are old and weak women and children, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist when they attack with all their might." ”

Yang Hao crouched on the pile of goods, twisted his eyebrows and listened to the sound of fighting in the fog, his heart was like iron stone, and he said quietly: "The fog is all over the sky, the enemy situation is unknown, don't act rashly." As the commander of the First Army, if I can't even guarantee the safety of my headquarters, I will not take risks to help, otherwise once I fall into the enemy's tricks, I will lose everything, and there will be no room for maneuver. ”

"Yes!"

A head suddenly popped out next to him, and he asked with great interest: "Who is here, is it a horse thief or someone from the Meisi tribe who is holding grudges and revenge?" ”

Yang Hao was angry and anxious: "Why did you come up again?" ”

Tang Yanyan said disappreciatively: "Hmph, do you think I'm a mud man?" I may be slightly inferior to your swordsmanship, but these people under you, I am also the best in martial arts. ”

Yang Hao turned his face and ignored her, just focusing on the movement from the Bai Ling clan's camp, the sound of fighting from there became more and more intense, the sky gradually brightened, and the visibility was farther away, but the fog had not yet dissipated. Suddenly, Mu En's back straightened, and he pulled the bowstring with a "squeak", and pointed his sharp arrow at the grass in the mist ahead......
