Chapter 133: History Is Wonderful
Fang Yingwu complained that the thief's injured war horse was ignorant, and at the same time he and everyone turned over and jumped out of the cart, squatting behind the car to guard against the thieves on the other side of the river.
Captain Niu knocked on the wheel with a steel knife in his hand, "This time we met on a narrow road, I hope I still have my life to receive merit!" ”
Fang Yingwu looked at the opposite side, and then caught a glimpse of Sun Xiaoniang having drawn her bow and arrow, so she moved over and asked, "How?" Can you shoot? ”
Sun Xiaoniang squinted her eyes and gestured a few times, shook her head and said, "The thief is too far away, and the strength of the arrow is not enough." ”
After she finished answering, she suddenly found that although the thief was far away, Fang Xiucai was too close to him and could even feel his breath clearly, and he could rub against each other with his gestures, and he seemed to be saying something in his ear.
Although Sun Xiaoniang has never been a beautiful lady who does not leave the door because of her livelihood, she has never been so close to a young man.
She jumped violently in her heart a few times, and involuntarily moved to the side, wanting to stay away from Fang Xiucai.
However, she found that Fang Xiucai inadvertently stepped on the corner of her skirt, which was hateful! Annoying!
Seeing that the little lady Sun kept writhing, Fang Yingwu was very worried, and quickly stretched her head over, and reminded her very concerned and considerate: "Sister Sun, hide your body and don't move, be careful to expose the flaws for the other side to see." ”
After reminding Sun Xiaoniang, Fang Yingwu turned his head to comfort the rest of the people and said, "The situation is not bad, we don't have to worry too much!" ”
Second Lieutenant Niu Ma stared expressionlessly, and he was not relieved by Fang Yingwu's words - today's lesson was profound enough.
Fang Yingwu secretly pointed to the other side, "The thieves were originally good at riding and shooting, but they refused to enter the range. What does this mean?
This shows that they are also jealous, and they think about it. Maybe it's because of the jealousy of the eldest sister of the Sun family, or maybe it's because of the loss of people. I don't want to hurt anymore. ”
Everyone thought about it, it was indeed the truth, if they didn't have a marksman like Sun Xiaoniang on their side, those thieves wouldn't have any scruples.
The thieves either outflanked and pounced, circling in a circle with arrows; Either they just ignored it and sped right in front of their eyes.
But now these thieves stopped their horses on the other side of the river, obviously afraid.
Fang Yingwu continued to analyze: "When it comes to long-range attacks, of course, the thieves are stronger. But the problem is that we are hiding in the back of the car. The defense is stronger, and the thieves are directly exposed to our eyes.
After seeing the archery skills of the eldest sister of the Sun family, the thieves will inevitably throw a mouse bogey. They also understood that if they really shot at each other, no matter what the result of Zuihou was, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
I guess that, in their opinion, it is normal to be fearless of death on the battlefield, but they are entangled with a few of us "people" in the Central Plains to the point of heavy casualties. It's not worth it, so I don't want to move forward. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Yingwu had calmly, sharply, detailedly, and thoroughly analyzed the enemy's situation, and then kept silent.
Second Lieutenant Niu Ma continued to stare wide-eyed. Just didn't speak, Sun Xiaoniang's beautiful eyes flashed with the light of worshipping readers, and she was embarrassed to speak.
Zuihou Sun Jingxian couldn't help but ask: "That's according to Fang Xiang's opinion." What should we do? ”
Fang Yingwu, who was no longer trusted, waited so hard for this sentence, and hurriedly threw out his idea: "Right now, these thieves are already alone. There were also casualties. What they want most is to cross the river and return to the Gaojiabao camp, and probably have no intention of continuing to fight with us.
And we're trying to cross the river. Continue to Yulin, since you don't want to fight for your life, then why bother to fight here?
In my opinion, we will not pass this bridge, but continue to swim along the river and cross the river from somewhere else.
And after we left, the thieves crossed the river and went back to Gaojiabao, there was no need to risk death and injury to fight us. ”
Sun Jing often travels in the mountains and Shaanxi, and is more familiar with the road, and wonders: "Not everywhere are roads and bridges, I think the road to the south is just such a road, and the bridge that even the passage road may be just such a one, and it may not be possible to cross the river if you go downstream." ”
Fang Yingwu admitted that what Sun Jing said was reasonable, the traffic was not as developed as in later generations in these years, and it was not uncommon for there to be only one bridge on the river for dozens of miles.
But he still confidently said, "Well, if we can't cross the river downstream, we'll turn back." By then, the thieves were already far away, and we could still cross the river here.
So in the final analysis, they are already alone, and it is impossible to continue to retreat, or we should take the initiative to retreat and let them go first. As the saying goes, the poor are not forced, be careful of the dog jumping off the wall. ”
Captain Niu suddenly slapped the edge of the car, "What Fang Xiucai said is reasonable, let's do it!" ”
But Captain Ma next to him smiled bitterly, "Today, Fang Xiucai is justified every time, but which time is right?" Don't you believe in evil and do it this time? ”
Fang Yingwu snorted lightly, "Then I still have an idea." The thieves were a little farther away, not close to the bridge, so we all gathered on one side, and crossed the bridge slowly under the cover of horses and vehicles.
After crossing the bridge, quickly walk downstream along the river, away from here. This is equivalent to betting that they also want to let us go, and they won't rush forward to fight? ”
The second lieutenant of Niu Ma was in a cold sweat, and let them cross the river in the face of the thieves, which was a test of character and courage.
Fang Yingwu said with a smile: "Either go downstream along the river here, or cross the river." There are two ways to do it. Choose one of the two, I don't call the shots, you choose one! ”
Captain Ma and Captain Niu glanced at each other, and said helplessly: "It's better to go from this side." ”
Having made up their minds, the gang took the chariot and horse as a cover, bent down and led the horse slowly. While being vigilant against thieves on the other side, he traveled in the direction of Xiangxia.
This time, Fang Yingwu's speculation did not fall short, and those thieves were really only circling around on the other side of the river, and had no intention of chasing and killing.
It wasn't until they couldn't see the figure of the thief that everyone let out a long breath. The one who drives the horse, the one who gets on the car, and continues to swim at full speed.
This time I was lucky, and after walking more than ten miles, I found a wooden bridge. Fang Yingwu and the others crossed the river from here.
It's just that in this way, it is farther away from Yulin and the side wall. It's like going around in a bigger circle. But compared with life safety, it is an extra detour of one or two hundred miles. It's really nothing.
The northwest was much less populated than the mainland, and neither Fang Yingwu nor Sun Jing dared to spend the night outside the castle. So they didn't sleep in the wild that night, and both cars traveled overnight, occasionally resting and napping.
On the way, Fang Yingwu talked to Sun Xiaoniang again, and kept praising Sun Xiaoniang as a rare pink hero in the world.
Sun Xiaoniang couldn't stand being praised by Fang Yingwu, and said helplessly: "It's not rare at all, didn't you see a woman riding a horse and shooting an arrow just now?" ”
Fang Yingwu was very strange, "When did you see it?" ”
"A few thieves. The one who was shot by the slave family on the horse under the crotch was actually a woman. Her helmet is off, haven't you noticed? ”
Fang Yingwu was surprised: "Is that really the case? I really hadn't noticed. ”
"Don't lie to you, I can see it clearly, it must be a woman."
Fang Yingwu thought about it, and at that time, he was shocked by Sun Xiaoniang's magic kung fu, and he only cared about looking at Sun Xiaoniang;
Second, those thieves are all covered in leather armor, and the exposed facial skin is relatively rough, which can be seen from a distance. If it weren't for careful discernment and good eyes, who could tell a man and a woman?
This female thief is certainly not an ordinary person, no wonder after her horse was injured and went crazy, several other thieves chased after her. Ignore another down-motor thief.
But her behavior is really strange enough, what kind of detective should a woman be a detective, and now the North is not short of men to such a point
Fang Yingwu suddenly flashed a thought. According to his historical knowledge, there are several Beiyu tribes currently entrenched near the Hetao. One was the titular Mongol Great Khan Mandulu.
The thief who came to Gaojiabao this time may be the Great Khan of Mandulu. Mandulu is not a well-known person in history. But one of his wives is very famous, and it is called Mandu Sea in the history books.
This Manduhai lady can fight well, ride and shoot, and often come to the battle in person. The most interesting thing is that a year later, Mandulu died, but she married her nephew, could it be that she just met?
Fang Yingwu regretted it a little, if this was the case, he should have found a way to fight just now, whether it was to kill her or capture her, it would be a great credit!
But now that I think about this, it's useless, history is wonderful, and I missed the opportunity to change history.
After traveling nearly two hundred miles in one go, in the evening of the next day, Fang Yingwu saw that the front was densely populated and there was a fortress along the road, and he looked at the map again, and he was overjoyed: "I have entered Mizhi County, and I can sleep peacefully tonight!" ”
Sun Jing went to the roadside pedestrians to inquire a few words, and came back and said: "The front is Yinchuan Station in Mizhi County, presumably there are many shops nearby, so I went to stay." ”
Captain Niu said very angrily: "There is no need to find another store, we are guilty of Qin, and we will go to the post zhanzhu." If you just want to eat haode, you need to pay your own money. ”
Living in the post station, of course, is higher than the safety factor of the house, Sun Jing arched his hand, "The small one will be wiped out with the two military masters." ”
The errand of escorting Fang Yingwu with oxen and horses cannot enjoy the passing of the galloping post, nor can you enjoy the worship of the post station.
But at best, it was the Son of Heaven who personally issued an edict to distribute the figures, and it was no problem to arrange one or two rooms to stay at the post station along the road, and manage two meals of porridge.
didn't mention it, but said that after entering the post station, he showed his voucher, and an old post man walked to the inner courtyard with Fang Yingwu and his party.
Sun Jing is very old and has a family relationship with the post man, "The old man's original surname is Li, I don't know which one"
Fang Yingwu felt that the Yinchuan Station in Mizhi County was very familiar from just now, and at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and asked the post guard in a loud voice: "The old man is from the Li family station in this county?" ”
The old postman turned his head and stared wide, unable to believe it: "That's true, can the little gentleman pinch it?" ”
The second lieutenant of Niu Ma looked sideways, has Fang Xiucai been addicted to it in the past two days? This time, he began to count other people's origins again, and it seems that he really made him count
Fang Yingwu was in an extremely peculiar mood if history continued to develop normally one hundred and fifty years later, a young man Li Hongji or Li Zicheng in Yinchuan Station in Mizhi County was laid off and laid off
Li Zicheng's ancestral hometown is Lijia Station in Mizhi County, this old post man surnamed Li is also a native of Li Family Station, could it be Li Zicheng's ancestor?
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "History is really wonderful."
It's a pity that others can't understand Fang Xiucai's prophetic state of mind, and can only see Fang Xiucai staring at the old post guard for a long time, and it seems that his eyes are still fierce (to be continued. )
