Chapter 530: Rush
According to Sheng Dan, our current position is about 70 miles away from Bayanhot, and it only takes an hour for fast horses to arrive. In the front, the Turkic Left King Badru and the national teacher Lu Dongzan are attacking the Helan Mountain Gorge with all their might, and have carried out the first round of onslaught on the gorge mouth yesterday. After a day of fierce fighting between the two sides, our army stubbornly resisted with natural dangers, and the Turks suffered heavy losses in the battle, so they were mobilizing and replenishing a large number of war horses, grain and grass, which were continuously transported to the front line through Bayanhot. ”
Hu Bugui's voice was excited with some excitement, indeed, this was the first time that their lone army had heard the news of the Helan Mountain Gorge after leaving the large army for nearly five days. It can be seen from the continuous mobilization of war horses and grain by the Turks that the war Hu people did not please them. Miss Xu is using practical actions to fulfill her promises.
"Good. Finally, there is news of Helan Mountain. Lin Wanrong sighed slightly: "Since the Hu people suffered a lot of losses, it means that our losses must be not small, and the pressure on Xu Junshi's side is not light." ”
Hu Bugui nodded approvingly: "That's true, fortunately, we have approached Bayanhot and can do it at any time." ”
Lin Wanrong hummed: "Brother Hu, has this Sheng Dan confessed, how many Hu people are stationed in Bayanhot at this time?" ”
"Of course I will confess this." Hu Bugui said: "In order to capture the Helan Mountain Gorge, the Turks gathered 300,000 elite cavalry, which can be described as a joyful dispatch, and the strong men of each tribe are empty. There were only more than 3,000 people stationed in Bayanhot, plus the small group of Hu people who transported war horses, grain and grass from all over the royal court to Bayanhot, the total number never exceeded 5,000. ”
On the steppe, with 8,000 soldiers against 5,000 Turkic wolf cavalry, although there was an advantage in numbers, the Hu people were strong, and this battle was by no means easy to fight. Fortunately, it was a surprise attack, and the initiative was in their own hands.
"Who is the leader of the Hu people stationed in Bayanhot?" Lin Wanrong asked.
"It's another Tiger General under Badru's account, named Labry. This person I met on the battlefield ten years ago, he is good at using a wolf's head and an iron rod, his appearance is fierce, his strength is endless, and his prestige among the Turkic cavalry is very high, and he once beheaded hundreds of soldiers in Dahua overnight, and was later awarded the title of centurion by the Khan of the Hu people! ”
Labry? Centurion? Lin Wanrong laughed twice: "Brother Hu, since it is your old friend, then I will hand him over to you." Remember my principles, don't talk to Hu people about fairness and life, that's not the best thing. The more despicable and ruthless your methods are, the more they will be afraid. It is recommended that you prepare more lime, ropes, hidden weapons, etc., and if you run into Labry, you will sprinkle lime into his eyes and shoot hidden weapons until he is crippled. ”
With General Lin as a soldier, no matter how upright a person is, he will be taken to the damage, his methods are insidious and vicious, thunderbolt ruthless, and Dahua's previous combat style is very different, but he specializes in fighting Hu people seven inches, and the Turks are only afraid that it will be difficult to accept this style change for a while.
Hu Bugui smiled and nodded: "The last general can save it." This time I called Lao Gao, no matter how powerful Nalabri is, it can't compare to Lao Gao's methods. ”
Lin Wanrong squinted and smiled, Chief Gao, with sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet, it was bad, with him joining, it was enough for this Labry to drink a pot.
"Then let it go," Lin Wanrong waved his hand: "If your means are bad, then even if you lose my face, I won't spare you." ”
"Order!" Hu Bugui rushed to respond, turned around and ran outside the tent, only to get to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said, "There is one more thing." General, this Sheng Dan's words have also been asked, what should I do with him? "Shengdan? Who is Sheng Dan?! I've never seen this man! General Lin spread out his hands, his face full of innocence.
"Yes, yes, we haven't met this person." Hu Bugui smiled: "The last general can save it, I'll do it." ”
"One more thing." Lin Wanrong pulled Lao Hu and whispered a few words in his ear, Hu Bugui looked happy, and gave a thumbs up again and again: "High, really high!" The general's wisdom and courage are really the optimus prime and the needle of our army. Being able to follow the general to fight is a great blessing for the last general! ”
This old Hu can't stand the test, what an upright person he used to be, how did he become this whisker and slap horse after following me?! It's all my fault! Lin Wanrong sighed, regretting that there was one less "upright person" in the world.
After a few days of rapid marching, I haven't slept well for a long time, this night by the lake, pillowed with the blood of the Turks, tens of thousands of soldiers slept very peacefully, and even Lin Wanrong had a long-lost spring dream.
On the vast and boundless prairie, the beauties smiled brightly, lightly untied their shirts, ** clotted fat, and their pink and white breasts were more dazzling than the moonlight, Qingxuan, Xian'er, Luo Ning, and Miss...... All of them are charming and moving, and their watery eyes seem to be drowning. When his heart was shaking, he was about to reach out and touch it a few times, but he heard a gust of wind blowing, and in the wind, sand and fire, a fierce lion sprang out of nowhere, opened his bloody mouth with a whin, and bit the beauties viciously, even Miss Xiao, who was strong in martial arts, couldn't dodge it, and saw that she was about to die under the lion's mouth......
"Mom!" Lin Wanrong sat up and woke up from her sleep, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her whole body was cold. Looking at the night outside the tent like water, it was only three watches, he took a few breaths, wiped the sweat beads on his face, and was terrified.
This spring dream and nightmare scared him a lot, although he was not a superstitious person, he also felt that it was a great omen. Thinking about the situation in the dream, even a person as powerful as Xiao Qingxuan has to be folded under the lion's mouth, where did this fierce lion come from, so powerful?
When Lin Wanrong was in a trance and was in a daze, he suddenly heard the tent sound softly, the curtain was raised, and a fierce Turkic rushed in like the wind.
"The Hu people are coming?!" Frightened, he didn't think about it, he pulled out his war knife and slashed at the Turk.
The "Hu man" hurriedly stepped out of the way and said urgently: "Brother Lin, it's me, Lao Gao!" ”
Lin Wanrong was stunned, looked carefully, and saw that the Turkic man who rushed in had a high beard, a yellow face, and a fierce appearance, but the outline between the eyebrows and eyes was very familiar, could it be the high chief?
"Damn, Brother Gao, are you playing masquerade?" Putting the war knife back into the sheath, Lin Wanrong patted her chest eagerly, looking at Lao Gao's appearance, angry and funny.
Chief Gao grinned and said, "Didn't you ask Hu Bugui to choose people to pretend to be Hu people?" How about looking at my image? Is it qualified? ”
It's so qualified, it scares Lao Tzu's soul away. Lao Gao is tall and fat, wearing a felt hat, wearing a bearded coat, smearing some yellow powder on his face, and then dipping two moustaches, except for no blue eyes, the whole Turkic seed has not fully evolved.
Lin Wanrong looked him up and down a few times, nodded and said, "Brother Gao, with your body and your means, you are even more Hu than Hu Ren, I am optimistic about you." The position of the leader of this Hu people belongs to you. ”
"Thank you General for your grace!" Chief Gao clenched his fists and smiled.
Another "Hu man" outside the tent rushed in, but this time it was Hu who did not return. He was very strong, and when he wore a felt hat and robe, he was not far behind the high chief. At the same time, he has been at war with the Hu people for many years, and he knows their natural habits very well, so he is asked to pretend to be a Hu man, and he is a little more godlike than Lao Gao.
Hu Bugui handed a Huren robe in his hand to Lin Wanrong, and said with a smile: "The hour is not early, please put on makeup and set off." ”
Lin Wanrong put on the felt hat and put on the robe haphazardly, the beard stubble of the march in the past few days has already grown all over his face, and he looks like a bandit who robs his house from a distance.
"How? Am I like a Turk? Hanging the war knife on his waist, Lin Wanrong said twice, triumphant.
Chief Gao looked left and right, up and down, and said after a long time: "Overall, it looks relatively similar, but there is one biggest regret that cannot be made up." ”
"What regrets?" Lin Wanrong was puzzled.
Chief Gao said with a serious face: "The biggest regret is that Brother Lin, you are too handsome and handsome, and you can't produce such a good-looking character in the Hu people in ten lifetimes, you must know that in the crowd, the first thing they see is you, so the biggest flaw in our army is you, brother!" Alas, regret that regret! ”
"Brother Gao, don't always stare at my shortcomings! This flaw is innate, and I have wanted to correct it for many years. General Lin suffered a slap in the face, and his eyebrows bloomed with laughter.
When they left the camp, thousands of "Turks" were already waiting for them on tall Turkic horses. These are all sturdy sons and daughters selected by Hu Bugui overnight, in addition to the eyes, there are also seven or eight similar places in other places. Lin Wanrong nodded, and said twice: "Yes, yes, I've never seen such a handsome Hu guy." The two eldest brothers told everyone to walk slowly, tell the horses to eat more grass, and tell people to run slowly, and when the sun goes down, it will be almost enough to reach Bayanhot, so as not to wear gangs. ”
Hu Bugui and Chief Gao looked at each other, it was only sixty or seventy miles from this lake to Bayanhot, and it was not easy to go slowly! But since General Lin sent a word, the military order was like a mountain, and the two had to order the brothers to load and unload, unload and load, kill some time, and use it as physical training.
When it was nearly noon, the bellies of the war horses were bulging, and Lord Lin had already crossed the lake in a dashing circle, and these slow "Hu people" were ready to go, and thousands of cavalry drove the herd of war horses that could not be seen at a glance, and marched towards Bayanhot.
The first time I marched on the vast grassland, the sun was shining, there were no clouds, the green grass and the blue sky made people feel happy and refreshed, and I don't know how many times stronger than the wind and sand outside the plug.
No wonder Hu Ren is all excellent equestrian, such a good prairie, you told him not to ride a horse, to try a bicycle? Exhausted! Lin Wanrong snorted indignantly, and was very indifferent to the riding skills that the Turks were forced out. Chang, Gao Chieftain and Hu Bugui were the two who looked most like the Turks, and naturally played the role of leaders. In Lin Wanrong's words, both of you can speak Turkic, who will take the lead if you don't take the lead? Along the way, Chief Gao only practiced the Turkic scolding, which can be described as perfect, complacent, wearing a hat of "I understand Turkic language", taking the lead and leading the way.
They drove the war horses forward, and adhered to General Lin's teachings, to be slow, and the speed of travel was not a little stronger than that of a snail.
All the way to Bayanhot, gradually, there were more Hu people on the road, all of them were galloping on horseback, coming and going in a hurry, it seems that the war on the side of Helan Mountain is indeed tense.
In order to prevent goofs, Hu Bugui strictly followed Lord Lin's teachings - "I am a Turk, and I am so horizontal." He stretched the formation of tens of thousands of war horses out of the way, and walked sideways on the road, his figure sprinkled all over the grassland. All the Turks who dared to look at them more loudly reprimanded them from a distance, and the high chief raised his saber beside him and roared angrily, and the two of them were frightened like evil wolves. No matter how bold the Hu people are, who would dare to plunder their tiger whiskers?
In the distance, the red sun finally sank in the west, and a few wisps of crimson sunset reflected on the faces of the soldiers. The previous ease gradually faded away, and the tension spread in everyone's hearts.
"After three hours of rapid marching, we are finally about to reach Bayanhot, and now, we are only twenty miles away from our final goal." Lin Wanrong waved her hand heroically, and a murderous aura loomed on her face.
Traveling fifty miles in three hours, such a "rapid march" is really earth-shattering, Chief Gao couldn't help but laugh and nodded heavily.
General Lin was not ashamed at all, and said solemnly: "Brother Hu, have all the scouts in front returned?" ”
"The front has arrived in Bayanhot, so as not to be recognized by the Hu people, all the scouts have been recalled." Hu Bugui hummed and continued: "According to the scout's report, the situation in Bayanhot is normal, and there is no change in the Hu people. ”
Lin Wanrong breathed a long sigh of relief, seeing that the sunset in the distance had sunset into the depths of the earth, and the twilight shrouded the grassland, he nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Order the brothers to abandon all inconsequential baggage, and only bring dry food and blades." From now on, the whole army will be in a state of combat readiness and will be moving at full speed and at full speed. ”
When the order was delivered, the soldiers' mood was suddenly excited and nervous, and the hardships of several days would soon bear fruit. This will be the first major battle in which Dahua officers and soldiers will go deep into the grassland in 100 years, and its effect will be earth-shattering and will be a great shock to both the enemy and us.
Tick tick, heavy horses' hooves trampled through the silence of the grassland, and tens of thousands of galloping horses were driven by the soldiers and rushed straight to the north. At the beginning of the night, no longer worried that he would be recognized by the Hu people, Lin Wanrong galloped wildly and traveled ten miles in one breath.
"General, look!" Hu Bugui's shout woke up Lin Wanrong who was running. Looking up, in the distance, a few miles away, there was a green city. The city seems to be a raised column on the grassland, and the walls are two people high, crawling with grass and green barriers. Hu Bugui has long said that the castles on the grassland are all built by digging soil on the spot, although the city wall is not high, but it is unique because it is covered with green grass.
In the castle, hundreds of wolf flags fluttered in the wind, and countless tents were scattered like small white flowers in full bloom. The mountains of grain and grass are towering and connected, like the endless Helan Mountain. From time to time, the neighing of the Turkic horse shook people's eardrums like thunder.
Looking at the boiling grassland city in front of him, Lin Wanrong clenched his palms and spit out a name viciously: "Bayanhot!! ”
Hu Bugui nodded solemnly, and the expression on his face gradually became grim.
The most difficult moment is coming, and the speed of the soldiers' march has quietly slowed down, their heartbeats have accelerated countless times, and their blades are tightly clenched. Lin Wanrong nodded and glanced at Hu Bugui.
"Driving-" Lao Hu flicked the whip in his hand, and hit the horse ** of the horse in front of him, and tens of thousands of Turkic horses rushed forward in unison, and the sound of hooves roared to the sky, rushing towards the city wall. Hu Bugui and Gao Chieftain rode like the wind, leading thousands of soldiers and firmly following behind the horses.
Four, three, two...... In the dust, the city is getting closer and closer, and the claws of the fluttering wolf flag are clearly visible. Every sound of a horse's hooves sounded like a hammer hitting people's hearts.
"Iriga (stop)!" There was still a mile away from the city wall, and a loud shout suddenly sounded in the opposite city, thick and heavy, and it actually overwhelmed the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
The bearded man had dense hair, his arms thicker than a baby's head, his face like a knife, his eyes were deep-set, his eyes were blue and clear, and he carried a huge wolf-headed iron rod in his hand.
"It's Labry!" Hu Bugui was taken aback.
Labry, the leader of the Hu people in Bayanhot? The shock in Lin Wanrong's heart was no less than that of Hu Bugui. The green city wall was close in front of him, and looking at the huge gate that was tightly closed, his heart couldn't help but twitch.
