Chapter 110
(Thank you to all the book friends who sent birthday wishes to Muzi, thank you.) )
When there were still three days left before the agreed half-moon period, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin and several others who had not appeared in Huaihuang City for a long time returned to the city. Ling Yun met with them alone on the White Tiger Platform and asked about the results.
"Have you found out the situation of the Bano Guren?" A few days ago, Ling Yun wanted to send someone out to find the traces of the people who reconnoitred Bayegu, and Dou Jiande took the initiative to ask Zhan to be willing to go to reconnoitre. Lingyun handed over this task to Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande chose Sun Anzu, Hao Xiaode, Liu Heimin, Zhang Jincheng, and Wang Fubao, who were also from Hebei, to accompany them, and Lingyun selected a few brothers from the old subordinates of Baimatang who were good at scouting scouts to guide them. As soon as Dou Jiande went out, it was seven or eight days, and he didn't come back until this time, and he once made Gao Bo Wei Zheng and them worry about whether they had an accident. However, Ling Yun believed in Dou Jiande and them, how could something happen to such a luxurious reconnaissance team.
Although Ling Yun had a secret team of men and horses in hand, he was still cautious in dealing with the Mobei nomadic cavalry that came and went without a trace and was the longest maneuver, after all, this was also his first battle. As soon as he came, he had to be cautious against the cavalry outside the Saiwai. Only by knowing the other can we survive a hundred points. To deal with these nomadic cavalry, you must first find out where they are now.
Dou Jiande said: "This group of Bayegu people was divided into several groups before, with hundreds of people as a group, and they were robbing the small tribes of the Xi people everywhere, burning, killing and looting, and they were extremely arrogant. We were delayed to find out where they were. ”
Liu Heimin added: "This group of people sometimes disperses, sometimes gathers. It really came and went like the wind, and many small tribes of the Xi people were caught off guard and were slaughtered by them. We've figured out a couple of their makeshift camps, though. Basically, every three to five days, after the successful raids, the Bayegu people would return to the camp to store their goods and replenish their rest. We've mapped these temporary camps, and we don't know if we've delayed the Alliance's arrangements. ”
Ling Yun smiled: "No, you did the right thing. Unexpectedly, these Bayegu people were already so arrogant, not only staring at Huaihuang City and refusing to withdraw. He still dared to ignore Huaihuang City so much, and scattered and looted the Xi people. It's very good that you guys have figured out their camp. With the map you provided. This time our odds have increased by a few points. ”
"It's good that nothing went wrong." Dou Jiande said, he had been out for so long this time, and he had only returned for a long time, and he was still worried that he had missed Ling Yun's arrangement. After all, it was he who took the initiative to ask Ying to go to reconnoitre. If something is wrong. Then he would have no face to face Ling Yun. He knew very well the importance of dealing with Bayegu people to Ling Yun this time.
Ling Yun smiled and looked around at these Hebei heroes, Dou Jiande needless to say, he was a very thoughtful person. And although Liu Heimin was a bit of a scoundrel at this time, the history books recorded that Liu Heimin's strongest thing was reconnaissance, and let him go on a reconnaissance mission, which was really a human being. But at this time, Liu Heimin. Facing Ling Yun's gaze, he was a little apprehensive. Squeezed out a somewhat stiff and awkward smile. He turned out to be just a country ranger scoundrel, and he followed Dou Jiande to follow Ling Yun, a famous white horse and silver spear in the north, and he was indeed in awe in his heart.
"This time, everyone is outstanding, and even exceeded my expectations, and it is quite beautiful to be able to accurately poke out the camp of the Bayegu people. Each of them will record their military merits once, and they will be rewarded together in the future. ”
Several of them laughed, especially Liu Heimin, Wang Fubao, and Zhang Jincheng, it is one thing how much they will be rewarded in the future, the key is to get the appreciation of Ling Yun, the newly rising hero alliance leader in the north.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard, that's all for today, let's go back and rest first." Lingyun Road. From their eyes, it was clear that they were still a little restrained with himself, and he knew in his heart that whether he was a brother or a friend, he was still the leader of the Tiger Alliance, and they were his staff.
After a few more words of praise for the group, Ling Yun also asked them to go back to rest first. However, when leaving, Ling Yun still gave each person a newly cast refined cavalry sword, and another ten taels of gold per person. Brothers and friends belong to brothers and friends, and meritorious service is still rewarded.
Sending Dou Jiande and others out, he rushed to the Dongcheng Armory Workshop, and when he arrived at the Armory Workshop, he saw that the carriage was constantly loading full boxes from the workshop, and the workshop was also chaotic, filled with the sound of charcoal, molten iron and sweat. The craftsman came to tell him that the thousand sabers were almost finished, and that all the thousand cavalry swords would be delivered by tomorrow. In addition, the iron rings and nails that Ling Yun asked for had also been laid, and there were no special requirements for these things, so although there were a lot of them, they were not troublesome. "Those hoops are supposed to protect the horses' hooves, right?" The craftsman head voiced his guess.
Ling Yun gave him a thumbs up, "That's right, this is the horseshoe." ”
Horseshoe, that's right, Lingyun asked the craftsmen to make the horseshoe. In fact, the horseshoe has long been invented in the West, but it has not spread in Middle-earth. However, although the horseshoe is simple, it can be very effective. Although the horseshoe has a cuticle layer, it is easy to wear. In particular, war horses, which have been riding gallops for a long time, are more strict about the wear and tear of the horse's hooves. Once worn out too much, the war horse is useless. After installing the horseshoe, even if it is worn, it can be replaced with a new one at any time. At the same time, the farrier can also strengthen the grip of the war horse, and even increase the power of the war horse, and the power is greatly increased when it is trampled and trampled. However, European horseshoes are lighter and convex. The horseshoes that Lingyun handed over to craftsmen to build were heavier, flatter, and more durable.
"How does this work? Do you want to take a nail and nail it in a horseshoe? Shan Xiongxin, who rushed over, asked puzzled with the newly cast horseshoe.
"Of course!"
"This!" Shan Xiongxin was a little incredulous, "That won't hurt the horseshoe?" ”
"Of course not, in fact, there is a carapace about an inch thick on the horseshoe, and our nails are all calculated, and the nails are locked on them, but they will not hurt the horseshoe. Put shoes on the horse in this way, and you will be able to move forward bravely in the future. Ling Yun said with a smile, and then directly led his horse, pulled out his short knife and began to put a horseshoe on the horse's hooves. It is not difficult to nail the horse's shoe, first tie the horse's legs to the stake, and then untie the nail palm one leg at a time. Take a sharp knife to first peel off a layer of cuticles from the slap and flatten it, and then nail the slap firmly with a nail.
A group of craftsmen watched in amazement as Ling Yun abused his horse, thinking that the BMW was bound to be scrapped. Who knows, in the whole process, the excellent war horse did not suffer pain and struggle, and the four horseshoes were all nailed in less than a quarter of an hour. After nailing it, untie the horse, Lingyun led the BMW to walk, the BMW with the shoes on was a little uncomfortable, the four feet kept falling upside down, and the brand-new horseshoe made a tinkling sound on the stone floor.
Shan Xiongxin was a little stunned, Ling Yun smiled and said to the craftsman on the side, throwing a few knives over.
The craftsman was puzzled, hesitated and threw a few broken horizontal knives, and the knives were already unsheathed, so they were thrown on the ground at will. Ling Yun led the horse and walked directly over there. The horse's hooves trampled over the broken knife, making a clanging sound, and one of the already broken knives was even broken by stepping on it. After walking over, Ling Yun lifted the horse's hooves one by one to watch, and there was nothing to do.
"It's amazing, I've only seen iron armor on horses before, and I've never heard of iron shoes on horses' hooves, cows." Shan Xiongxin praised again and again, "I'm going to put shoes on my BMW too!" After saying that, he couldn't wait to lead his beloved horse over and nail the horseshoe.
Gao Jia, who was following Ling Yun, also nodded again and again, his eyes full of brilliance. He has also been in the army for many years, and he has dealt with war horses for half his life, so he naturally knows very well the promotion of cavalry after this horse wears this iron shoe. Coupled with the new cavalry knife he had tried before, he couldn't help but sigh that Ling Yun, a young green forest hero, was even more proficient in cavalry than him, a middle-aged man who had been in the army for many years.
At this time, suddenly a person who looked like an apprentice approached Ling Yun, quietly stuffed him with a note, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"If you want to see Yuan Jiyao, come to Dexing Inn in West City."
Ling Yun looked at the man's disappearing back, frowning a little hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Gao Jia sensed that something was wrong with Ling Yun and asked.
"You go and get some brothers right away." Ling Yun said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Yun handed the note to Gao Jia, and Gao Jia immediately whispered after reading it, "This may be a trap." ”
"Maybe, but it's also possible that there is really news of Ji Yao here. I have to go, no matter how careless we are, you can send more brothers to surround the Dexing Inn, but don't reveal your identity. "Whether it's a trap or not, Ling Yun has to look at it before he can rest assured. No matter what, for Ji Yao, who he had never met, he had a lot of guilt in his heart.
Gao Jia quickly quietly transferred a guard in civilian clothes and quietly approached the Dexing Inn, holding the front and rear doors.
"It's all around." Gaojia Road.
Ling Yun glanced at the Dexing Inn that was normally in business, and nodded, You bring a few brothers to go in with me, and the others stay outside. Before I came out, not a single one of the people inside was allowed to leave. With that, he walked through the street and into the inn. As soon as he entered the inn, the man who looked like the innkeeper immediately stepped forward, "You are finally here, please come with me." ”
Ling Yun followed him, and the shopkeeper led him to the backyard of the inn, came to a well, took a pair of rope ladders and put him down. "Come down with me."
Going down to the well about two zhang deep, the shopkeeper pushed on the wall of the well, revealing a tunnel.
"Where does this lead?" Ling Yun looked at the appearance of this tunnel and seemed to be very profound, and asked vigilantly.
The shopkeeper smiled: "This is a secret road leading directly to the outside of the city, and when you go out from here, you can meet Miss Ji Yao." (To be continued......)
