The whole mountain was sweating profusely in the night. But even though his physique was relatively good among the soldiers, he felt that his legs were getting heavier and heavier.

There were torches dotted around the ranks, which were used to guide the soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers had all received the training of the Liang Haode Night March, and the Liang Haode food could ensure their physical strength, there would have been quite a few soldiers who had fallen behind. But even so, military attachés at all levels also ran in front of and behind the ranks to prevent any soldiers from falling behind.

It has been four days of night marching, and although the logistics are very good, the fatigue accumulated over a long period of time makes people more and more tired. And today is Zuihou's one-day night march, so all the soldiers have used their strength to get through this Zuihou level.

And this Zuihou had to walk more than forty miles in a day's night march, and He Fei divided this road into four sections. In the first three sections, the soldiers marched with their bare hands and trotted along with the carts. And after each stretch of the race, the soldiers could rest for a quarter of an hour. And now the whole mountain is running the third section.

At this time, the torches at the front were suddenly raised high and shook from side to side, and when they saw the torches at the front doing this, all the torches behind them also shook high. All the soldiers knew that the third section was finally finished. They all collapsed to the ground at once.

And at this time, outside the county where Li Lu's garrison yamen was located, in a Zhuangzi in Wanwendong, the two hundred-man teams of the second batch of cavalry also got up in the dark.

They were all preparing to go, feeding their horses a meal of concentrate. These two hundred-man caravans arrived in this village in Wanwendong in disguise. They will rush to Dahuai Village by another road, and are expected to arrive in an hour or two after Hefei's vanguard army arrives at Dahuai Village.

And when the cavalry was ready, under the orders of the two cavalry commanders who led the team, everyone also got on their horses, and followed the people sent by Wan Wendong to lead the way, and they also galloped away in the dark night.

Quan Dashan lay on the ground, feeling his throat hurt. At this time, the leader of the whole mountain ran to the middle of the lying soldiers, and dragged them all up from the ground with a burst of punches and kicks. While fighting, the squad leader scolded in a low voice: "Don't lie down, get on the cart quickly, wipe your body with a dry cloth, don't get sick." ”

All the mountains and they immediately got into the car, stripped off their upper bodies, took the haode dry cloth and clean underwear that had been prepared on the cart, wiped the sweat off their bodies, and put on clean underwear.

And the captains of each squad took this opportunity to ask the soldiers to take a roll call and report to He Fei layer by layer. After listening to all the reports, He Fei nodded with satisfaction. In this night march, except for one soldier who fell ill and two of whom lost his foot, none of the soldiers were left behind.

And this Zuihou march, He Fei decided to ignore the horsepower, let all the soldiers get on the cart to rest, and let the cart move forward at full speed. Because, after the end of the march, it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers have enough physical strength to fight in Dahuai Village.

And the soldiers of Quan Dashan also began to put on beggar armor, hang good weapons, and after being fully armed, they also leaned on the cart and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Seeing that all the carts were ready, He Fei and Shumo took the guards and cavalry and walked to the front of the train to march with the soldiers. Because it was dark, I was afraid that the vehicles would roll down the mountain road, so all the big cars lined up. Fortunately, the number of large cars is not particularly large, only a little over 100, so the length of the entire train is not too long.

After walking for a mile or so, faintly, He Fei heard the sound of a rooster crowing in front of him. It's almost dawn. Shumo smiled and said to He Fei: "The map says that we are going to pass through a small mountain village with forty or fifty families. This is the sound of a rooster crowing, which proves that we are not running the wrong way. This time, our operation seems to be going well! ”

He Fei also laughed when he heard Shumo's words. The relationship between He Fei and Shumo is very good, otherwise after He Fei was dismissed by Wu Shigong at that time, Shumo would not have come to Wu Shigong to intercede.

However, at this time, He Fei still said to Shumo: "I have always listened to what Mr. Jiaoshu said, what is ninety, one hundred, what he said is to do things well from beginning to end, and don't take it lightly in Zuihou." Let's do it harder! Hit the big Huai village in one go. ”

"You really don't know how to learn! What ninety, one hundred? That sentence is called half ninety for those who travel a hundred miles. ”

"That's right! That's it. I know that you are the bookkeeper next to the master, and you read a lot, but don't show off in front of Lao Tzu! ”

"It's not uncommon to talk about you!"

The two of them just laughed and laughed, and the guards around them laughed as they listened.

The village in the distance where the roosters were crowing began to show a little light, and the villagers began to get up after hearing the rooster crow, so He Fei and the others didn't care. According to Jihua, if there is no resistance, Hefei's vanguard army will rush through the village, ignoring the villagers, and go straight to Dahuai Village.

But gradually, the situation was a little wrong, there were more and more bright lights, no less than sixty or seventy, He Fei glanced at Shumo with a gloomy face. There are only forty or fifty households, where are the sixty or seventy bright spots? Could it be that his own vanguard army has been discovered?

He Fei immediately ordered the ten cavalrymen beside him: "You guys go to the front and investigate, it's best to catch someone and tell us what happened." ”

The ten horsemen immediately let go of their horse's hooves and galloped towards the village. And after receiving the news, the soldiers on the cart were also ready for battle. The marching speed of the cart was also set to the maximum.

After a while, the cavalry captured two men. When the two men saw so many officers and soldiers suddenly appear in front of them, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling and unable to speak.

He Fei asked sharply, "Tell Grandpa honestly!" Who the hell are you? How many people are there in this village weishenme? ”

A person kneeling on the ground trembled and said, "Official." The villain is a merchant who runs the mountain goods! I slept in this village last night. Today is the day of the market, and the villain wants to sell some goods and earn some money to support his family. The villain really didn't collude with these bandits. The official will spare the villain this time. After saying that, the two men fell on the ground and kowtowed.

"Rushing to the market?" He Fei ignored the two people's begging for mercy, and then asked, "What kind of gathering?" You name it! ”

"Official, the rules here, every fifth day of every month, people from ten towns and eight miles in the vicinity will rush to Dahuai Village to catch the market, and the villain also goes there. Today is September 25th. ”

"!" He Fei immediately burst into foul language, "Are there many people rushing to the market?" He Fei then asked.

"Official. That's a lot, of course. There are thousands of them. It's those mountain lords, no! The bandits would rush to the bazaar and collect some silver from their stalls. ”

The more He Fei and Shumo listened, the more serious the situation became. Not only did the rebellious miners gather for the market, but the horse bandits were also at the market. This raid of his own was as if he had been sent into the mouth of a tiger. He Fei couldn't help but scolded: "I don't know which dog got this information, and I haven't even figured out the matter of rushing to the market." ”

He Fei was a little wrong to blame Xue Zhinong's Mountains and Rivers Division, after all, the Mountains and Rivers Division was only a new establishment, and the branches did not reach Nanyang Mansion at all. And this time I hurriedly reconnoitred the situation, and it was very good to be able to get a simple map of this area.

At this time, a guard next to him asked: "Then why didn't we meet people who went to the market when we were on our way?" ”

"Idiot!" Shumo also scolded angrily on the side, "They are all on the road during the day, and we are marching at night." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, no one hurried in the wilderness at night, otherwise they would not even be able to stand the encounter with wild beasts. However, the vanguard army was indeed fortunate that it did not encounter anyone rushing to the market during the night march.

He Fei raised his head and asked the cavalry who had captured the two men, "When you captured them, did you alarm the people in the village?" ”

"My lord, we caught them at the edge of the village. However, while they were being captured, we heard movement in the village. ”

He Fei shook his head and thought, "It's really not going well! It seems that the people in the village have discovered the movement, and someone may have gone to Dahuai Village to report the news. ”

So He Fei immediately ordered: "Advance towards Dahuai Village at full speed, don't care if anyone will find us." Let all the brothers be ready, when we enter Dahuai Village, we may have to storm it. And on the way over, whoever stood in front of them pushed them to both sides of the mountain road. If there is resistance, they will be killed. ”

"Yes!" The order was quickly conveyed.

At this time, a guard asked He Fei: "Master Zong, what should you do with these two people?" ”

He Fei glanced at the two of them, and saw that the two of them were looking at him with pitiful eyes, so he hesitated for a moment and ordered, "Just leave them here." Their two legs can't outrun the four legs of our cart. ”
