Chapter 222: Arriving at the Nine Plains
Yun Ting and the others and the large army of the Bingzhou cavalry army going north had been resting in this unknown place for thirty or forty minutes, and at this time, the infantry who were walking all the way were late, this speed was already good, but for the cavalry, this time was enough for them to go back and forth between the two places. So it's a drag, if it weren't for the fact that these people were soldiers brought by Yun Ting, and Gao Shun took good care of them, Lu Bu wouldn't have brought these soldiers with him when he set out at the beginning.
As soon as they arrived, some of the soldiers collapsed on the ground, but after a while, they quickly got up and began to adjust their breathing to recover their boiling and tired bodies. They didn't say a word, and there was no expression of joy on their faces, but they silently found a place and began to drink water and rest.
They must seize every time to rest, and the excess waste is a waste of life. This is Gao Shun's style, Gao Shun is silent and efficient, will not waste time, can be solved with one sentence, will only be solved with one sentence, never only with action.
That was Gao Shun, and similarly, under his subtle influence, many soldiers also developed such a style. It is the supremacy of military orders and an efficient way of action.
While he was resting, Lu Bu also led the army back, Yun Ting's eyes swept away, and sure enough, there was a battle. This can be clearly seen from the bloody armor of those cavalrymen, and Yun Ting can also see that this battle must have been chopping melons and vegetables. Because he couldn't see, only the blood on the faces of these cavalrymen, and if he looked closely, he could tell that the blood was someone else's, not the blood they flowed from, because there were no wounds on these cavalrymen.
I just don't know who is so unlucky. Yun Ting was a little gloating, no matter who it was, the consequences of meeting Lu Bu were tragic, as one of the top generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms, he could leave a nightmare memory for anyone.
"It's funny." Lu Bu glanced at the resting infantry and muttered to himself. Immediately, this curiosity disappeared without a trace, and he jumped off the horse, and said lightly as he walked: "We will set off after resting for half a pillar of incense." ”
"Yes." Some horsemen took out the remaining half of the pillar of incense, lit it with flint and steel, and planted it in the soil. Half a pillar of incense is also thirty minutes, which means that you can rest for thirty minutes.
This is the time that Lu Bu specially set aside for those infantry to rest, otherwise for the cavalry, only twenty minutes of rest is enough, after all, as long as their war horses still have physical strength, there is nothing to do with the cavalry. Now, with this half-hour break, it is already two or three times as much as the original rest time, and no matter what, it is enough. But really, this half an hour is not enough for humanity, and even if you rest properly, it will be more difficult to march again than at the beginning.
Lu Bu couldn't wait, he issued a new order, "Go, replace those soldiers stationed there, and send new scouts at the same time." ”
"Yes!" There were cavalry who were ordered to go.
Half an hour later, after a thorough rest, the cavalry rolled up a puff of smoke and dust, followed by the soldiers and galloped towards their destination. After leaving Jinyang City, the destination they wanted to arrive at was the important town of Bingzhou and the first city of the border pass, Jiuyuan.
It was Lü Bu's hometown, and it was also a city where countless soldiers had died generously for the land behind them, and there had been a wolf-like Xianbei cavalry that crossed and ravaged the land it guarded. One thing that has not changed from beginning to end is that after Emperor Guangwu restored the Han Dynasty, this city never fell!
Time just passed on the march, and in the blink of an eye, it was night. By night, the army had arrived at a county town where the garrison was scheduled to stop, and after a night's rest, it set out again.
Along the way, there were no more waves, and the 10,000-strong cavalry marched, and the horses' hooves trampled on the ground and raised enough dust for others to see from a great distance. With such a striking sign, no one will know that there are tigers in the mountain, and still walk towards the tiger mountain, just avoid it from a distance.
In the land of Bingzhou, the Bingzhou cavalry is the only master, and many people who once wanted to run rampant in this land have finally become the nourishment of the fertile land. Many mountain bandits and horse thieves who can survive in this land know and know how to avoid this risk, so they have never dared to make a big fuss, otherwise it will not only attract the clean-up of the county garrison, but will become crushed into slag by this behemoth.
Hurry up, and finally in the afternoon of the next day, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Lu Bu took Yun Ting and others and 10,000 cavalry to Jiuyuan City. Outside the city, looking up at the light of the setting sun, you can see the mottled city walls, which are dark and light in color, which are the scars left by the city in the course of previous battles. After the blood, the fresh blood, after coagulating, turned into a dull color, left on the bricks, and became an eternal memory.
Jiuyuan City has undergone many repairs and rectifications, and has also experienced countless wars, but this appearance has never changed. Lu Bu stood for a long time, and in his era, although Jiuyuan was still in this position to face the enemy, he never let his soldiers come to the city again. This is what he has always pursued, and it is also his persistence, this is his hometown, and he naturally has to protect it with blood and fire!
He hadn't seen it, but he knew that this Jiuyuan City was the most dilapidated and dangerous time. It persevered, so no matter what, Lu Bu would not let that moment appear again, he wanted to protect, not just protect, which is why over the years, he led his army to invade the grassland several times, and fought against those Xianbei people against Mai Mang.
It was he who won and made countless Xianbei nightmares at night. Standing outside Jiuyuan City for a moment, he suddenly smiled, this was the smile brought by the extremely difficult to see joy on Lu Bu's face, and he took the army and settled in the city.
They will make the final repairs in Jiuyuan City, and after leaving Jiuyuan City, not far from here, is the grassland. There, there are many Xianbei tribes, and there are many Xianbei people, waiting for him to conquer. As always, Lu Bu felt that what would not change was the blood he was going to bring under the conquest and the howls that belonged to the Xianbei people. Everything they had done to this land, Lu Bu had to make them regret it, and they had to get it back a thousand times over.
