More than 20 horsemen rode through the boundless night, although it was night, but they still could not raise fire to expose their traces. Guo Rong took the lead, and her white eagle was like a white shadow in the dark night, leading the way. Each horse followed the White Eagle closely. Guo Rong almost became one with the white eagle, and when she looked from behind, she saw her tall and slender body lying together.
There is a strange beauty.
Xiao Yan tried his best to relax on the horse, holding the horse's belly tightly, and the ups and downs of the distance already made his butt hurt a little. People who are not skilled in equestrianism have insufficient crotch strength and cannot hold down the horse, so they can only let the butt constantly contact the crusty saddle. At this time, Xiao Yan could still think bitterly, and when he arrived in Xiongzhou, he estimated that his butt was bloody, as if he had come to his aunt.
Looking back, the Baigou River has been left far behind, and the torches on the two pontoon bridges are blazing, so that the bridge body across the river is like a fire dragon in the night, illuminating the sky behind it faintly red. Rockets are rising into the night sky one after another, and these are all shot out of two hard bows stacked together, crookedly rising high in the sky. The arrows were tied to the torches, and they sneered in the air and scattered fireworks. The flowers hang high in the sky like pear blossoms.
Xiao Yan didn't know that at this time, the Song and Liao armies were equipped with large-scale fire canisters for night communication, saltpeter and sulfur were mixed together, and the fire was ignited with soaphorns, which could spit out countless fires like fireworks in later generations, constituting a signal means for night communication. At the end of the Song and Jin Wars, the so-called Yang Miaozhen and Li Quanjun, who had been incomparable in Shandong for 20 years, hung this kind of fire barrel under the spear, and the rows of spearmen fought with the opponent with the spear that spewed smoke and fire.
He is very familiar with history, but he is not a technical stream, and he knows little about how to fight, and he knows even less about the specific details of marching and field battles at this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have caused such a big trouble on the little mute, and he gritted his teeth and scolded Guo Rong for being stupid!
At this time, he knew that not a single qiē was good, very bad. In order to avoid the sentinels from the distance, they chose to pass through the middle of the remaining battlefield. Now because of himself, he has alarmed the Liao army! All they have to do now is to quickly sneak into the mountains, use the complex terrain to hide their whereabouts, and reach Xiongzhou before!
The little mute and Yue Fei were much stronger than Xiao Yan, an equestrian half-ass, so they followed Xiao Yan closely. Yue Fei and the others all adjusted the long knife at their waists, the bow bag and the feather arrow scattering bag next to the saddle to the position that was most convenient for them to pull out. Just guarding Xiao Yan, Niu Gao had to pull the reins for Xiao Yan several times before Xiao Yan and control the horse, Xiao Yan could concentrate on riding steadily and not falling, but Xiao Yan resolutely refused.
I have to learn all the things of this era faster, and learn more than the people around me, so that I can survive! to go further! The mistake when crossing the river, although in Yue Fei's opinion, was normal. Xiao Yan's actions have far exceeded his little white-faced image. But Xiao Yan is unhappy, he has to work hard in this era, and he has to protect the little things that he has easily grasped, and the most reliable is himself! Otherwise, even if you want to protect the people around you, you will suffer the same consequences as today!
Human voices also began to sound faintly in the field, and more came from the direction of the pontoon bridge behind. Although there were many pontoon defenders, most of them were foot soldiers, and although they heard the sound of their horses' hooves in the distance, they only shouted behind them and kept signaling, but they did not have the courage to chase them.
The most worrying thing is the distant sentry scouts who wander on both sides of the Baigou River! The most elite part of these Liao cavalry has enough mobility and combat effectiveness, as long as they hear the signal and come, they will not have the benefit of their own team of men and horses!
Rushing in the night, the shouts behind him have become more and more ethereal. Everyone was sweating profusely, and under the faint light of the stars and moon, a swarthy patch rose in the distance, but it was a continuous hilly and mountainous area between Xiongzhou and Baigou River. After the defeat of the Song army at the Baigou River, they set up a village to resist along the terrain here, and Xin Shizong and Yang Keshi were the most resistant, which ensured that Tong Guan led the main force of the Western Army to retreat to Xiongzhou in one go. Although this hill is not high, but it is undulating, the terrain is complex, and there are only a few roads that can lead to the Guò army, as long as they can sneak in, avoid the main roads between the hills that are convenient for the movement of the Liao army, according to the flexibility of their small team, it can be said that they are safe before they reach Xiongzhou.
Xiao Yan lay on the horse's back, only to feel his buttocks tingle, and the warm foam of the horse hit his face. This rush, coupled with the fact that it was at night, was already very expensive. I can already feel the speed slowing down. Yue Fei next to him happily pointed ahead: "It's almost into the mountain!" My lord, it's safe to go in, but you can't stop now! ”
Niu Gao turned around, and shouted angrily: "The horse of the straight lady thief can't run!" Blades, dry food, and armor packs! With such a big lump, it took a lot of horsepower to cross the river, and now I can still run a fart! In my opinion, except for the blade, all the others threw a ball, anyway, it only took two days to go to Xiongzhou, and as soon as the belt of the trousers was strangled, it passed! ”
Xiao Yan then remembered that he still had an armor bag tied to the back of his saddle. He didn't know about others, but he was very kind to Xiao Yan Guo Pharmacist, and he gave him a pair of scale armor, and when he crossed the river, the horse's buttocks sank straight back, and he was almost dragged into the water. When he heard this, he straightened up on his horse, and tried to take off his armor. Niu Gao had a loud voice, and many knights of the Changsheng Army heard his words and wanted to throw away these cumbersome things.
Yue Fei whispered beside him: "My lord, I can't!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a white shadow flashing, Guo Rong had already turned his horse from the front, and his eyebrows were raised high and he ordered: "Lost the dry food!" You can't lose your armor! ”
Niu Gao replied: "Lord Xiao is here, I lost a pair of armor, and I am afraid that our Great Song Dynasty will not compensate you for ten pieces?" ”
Guo Rong just glanced at him coldly: "In case before Xiongzhou, we have to rush through the battle, no armor, you wait to become a hedgehog!" With that, he turned his horse's head around and rushed to the front of the group.
Xiao Yan froze there for a moment: "Do you want to rush into battle?" ”
Yue Fei's face was also not good-looking: "My lord, I don't know, it stands to reason that I have gone around the Liao army camp...... However, this Miss Guo family has more experience in leading troops to fight than us, and at this time, Yiqiqi can only listen to her arrangement............"
The little mute also urged the horse to follow, she was light and skillful. It's much better than Xiao Yan looking like she can't straighten her waist, maybe it's because she caused Xiao Yan to make such a big oolong, she has been timidly behind, but now she stepped forward and leaned over to help Xiao Yan untie the rope of the armor bag and put it on her horse. The two horses galloped side by side, her body half-hanging out, but she was steady and did nothing.
As soon as Xiao Yan turned around, he saw the little mute's actions, and immediately glared at her fiercely: "Sit back!" I haven't settled accounts with you yet, what kind of heroine is I going to play now? Equestrianism is great? It's a man's thing! You are optimistic about yourself! ”
Just now, Xiao Yan buried his head and hurried away, thinking about his own thoughts. The little mute thought that Xiao Yan was annoyed with her, but she didn't dare to step forward. Now when he heard Xiao Yan drink so loudly, he stuck out his tongue instead, and just rode his horse and followed Xiao Yan with a smile, not retreating backwards.
For the little mute, it seems that only Xiao Yan is the most important thing in this world, and this night is running wildly, the meteor signals rising one after another behind her, and the elite Liao people hiding in the shadows, are not things she cares about. She followed Xiao Yan, but she was smiling cutely.
Seeing the little mute laughing like this, Xiao Yan and Yue Fei also calmed down unconsciously. If you rush into battle, rush into battle, I'm afraid of him! Lao Tzu is empty-handed, and it's not now!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The dark shadow of the mountain is already in front of you. The official road leading to the Baigou River winds through the hills, hidden out of sight. The shadows of the trees on the mountain are longing and dense. The Song and Liao confrontations for more than 100 years, on the Hebei front, except for a few roads, trees could not be cut down in other places, and the rivers were allowed to flood, just to prevent the Liao cavalry from galloping. As long as they hide in this rolling hills, a small team of twenty people will not be able to hide.
Guo Rong was in front, avoiding the mountain pass in front, finding a trail entrance, and stopping in front. At this time, the big guy was relieved. Guo Rong stopped the horse, and after finding a hill, he gathered the team, counted the number of people, tightened the loose belly belt, and sorted out the saddle. The victorious sergeants jumped off their horses one after another, busy with this qiē.
Xiao Yan was also helped down by Yue Fei, only to feel that his buttocks seemed to have become four petals, and the root of his thighs hurt his heart. I couldn't stand on the ground when I fell to the ground. The little mute also hurried over and helped Xiao Yan walk slowly on the ground, helping him soothe his muscles and bones.
Niu Gao landed heavily beside him, and said in a low voice: "Straight lady thief, running all the way, except for the back and the flame outlet, I haven't seen a ghost shadow either............ Even if there is a remote barrier, what will happen? More than 20 men, with knives and bows, just fight, and they have to run so much that their tongues have to hang on to their navel! ”
Wang Gui was behind Niu Gao and gave him a heavy blow. Niu Gao covered his head and was about to speak, Guo Rong had already come. In the team, she tidied up the harness the fastest, at this time she just led the white eagle around, let go of the sweat on the horse, the horse ran for a long time and had to wipe it.
Hearing Niu Gao speak, she smiled coldly: "Think killing a few Jurchen barbarians is a skill?" Bu Dou may be you Song people are not bad, but this horse fight, you are still far behind! The essence of Da Liao lies in the cavalry, and the cavalry elite is these far blockers! Now in the entire Great Liao, there are only a thousand elites left under the command of Yelu Dashi! ”
She looked at Xiao Yan's wolf look with a hint of mockery: "Count yourself lucky, the far block really avoided these battlefields, and the guy who licked the blood with the knife head is also taboo............ Seeing the signal, it may be too late to rush over, and I'll see how you succeed as a hero next time! ”
The little mute pulled his face down, no matter how Xiao Yan was, it was for her. Guo Rong can say whatever she wants, she can't say Xiao Yan like that! But she couldn't say anything, only lowered her head and kicked the pebbles on the road.
Xiao Yan patted the little mute's hand, and generously didn't care about Guo Rong, a tough girl. Anyway, Lao Tzu is your uncle............
Niu Gao muttered unconvinced, but Yue Fei stood aside with a long knife and listened carefully to Guo Rong's every word. This ten-year-old future celebrity is like a hungry and thirsty person who absorbs all the useful knowledge.
Guo Rong was still unforgiving, and sneered there: "Fortunately, this time the remote block reacted slowly, or it was too far away, your luck should be really ............"
She suddenly stopped the words in her mouth, and looked around at the terrain around her, where they had sheltered themselves from the wind, and the shadows of the trees on the slightly manicured knoll moved slowly, like a stream of water in the moonlight.
"Zhang Gong! Draw the knife! ”
Guo Rong suddenly ordered loudly, and with a flip of his hand, he had already taken the step bow of the bow bag in his hand. At this moment, four or five swarthy things suddenly fell from the top of the hill, still in mid-air, and they sneered at sparks. Xiao Yan turned his head to look at this qiē, but he didn't react yet.
This black thing snorted in mid-air, and there was a firelight, fireworks and flames, spitting out the old man, illuminating the figures of more than 20 people and horses at the bottom of the hill!
Torch! The torch used by the Liao people to send signals!
Several torches have fallen to the ground, the fireworks are still shooting indiscriminately, sparks are splashing everywhere, the war horses are alarmed, the neighing sound is one piece, everyone has drawn their blades, and above the hillock, the sound of breaking the air is chaotic, and seven or eight feather arrows have been shot with a strong wind!
