Due north, a team of Warat cavalry, is driving cattle and sheep and men and women in the grazing point walking, the herd is very happy and strong, but the male and female herdsmen are not, everyone is injured, walk step by step and fall step by step, the Warat soldiers around them are impatient, is not a knife back smashed over, mouth in vague Chinese said, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

However, no matter how much they urged, the injured herdsmen could not go too fast and could not keep up with the speed of cattle and sheep.

The leading cavalry, after a look, simply separated the two sides, and one group with a large herd of cattle, sheep and horses went first, leaving two dozen people, with a few sheep and dry rations, to continue to drive these wounded herdsmen.

Walking and walking, it is already nighttime, the night of the grassland, the cool autumn dew, and the noon of the day, it is simply two seasons.

The herdsmen in these grazing spots really couldn't walk, and fell crookedly on the side of the road, and the Warat soldiers looked at it and knew that if they continued to walk, they were afraid that half of these herdsmen would not be able to reach the place, and they simply stopped camping when they looked at the gradually darkening sky.

Several people lined up these dozens of herdsmen in a circle, and then checked the ropes on their bodies one by one, and when they saw that there was nothing wrong, they went to their own positions, lit a fire, and began to barbecue and cook.

Ling Xingyue rode a horse, galloping on the endless grassland, the sun had already set in Leshan, and today it was a moon loss, except for the sound of insects and fireflies, there was no light on the grassland, but for Ling Xingyue, this was no different from the day.

The horse was already sweating, but the speed was still about the same as at the beginning of the afternoon, although in such darkness, the horse's eyesight was very poor, but the tacit understanding with the master made him fully believe in the man riding on his back. Even with its eyes closed, it did not hesitate to raise its speed to the highest speed, running in the dark like the wind.

Ling Xingyue looked at the road that had been trampled out by her side with her spare eyes, judging from the freshness of her footprints, how far away she was from those Warat people, and suddenly, on the distant horizon, she saw a small point of light.

Ling Xingyue slowly pulled the reins, let the horse slow down, and jogged towards the point of light, where there was still more than a mile away, Ling Xingyue turned over and dismounted, looked at the horses that were a little too strong, and patted the horse's neck:

"Thank you, old man!"

He loosened his belt, went to the saddle and the horse, gave the horse a bag of water, and when he saw that the horse was able to graze on his own, he drew his knife, crouched in the grass, and dived into the fire.

The Warat cavalry who came out to plunder this time was actually the cavalry directly under the prince's team, and the group had a title, although it was much better equipped than the cavalry in other teams, but it was also a little arrogant. Although the group did not remove their armor, they were eating and drinking by the fire, and they did not even have a sentry post, as if they had forgotten that this was still the boundary of the Ming Dynasty.

Ling Xingyue was careful, and slowly approached this camp in a circle, afraid of the light and dark sentry positions they sent, because with their night vision ability and super perception ability, they didn't find their sentry positions after a patrol, which made Ling Xingyue very uneasy in his heart, it seems that the other party has a master, either there are soldiers who are well versed in military affairs, or there are witchcraft that can cast spells, no matter what it is, it is very tricky, especially now, they still have dozens of herdsmen in their hands, once the fight starts, They will be the most meat shield of the herdsmen, they will be very troublesome, although they will not lose, but there will always be fish that slip through the net, this boundless grassland, a few people scattered, that is very troublesome.

Thinking of this, Ling Xingyue slowly circled again, tentatively peeking at this camp, sure enough, there was still no sentry post, for the sentry post arranged by this master, Ling Xingyue also nodded secretly, it is worthy of being a Warat cavalry who has been in the army for many years and is good at fighting guerrillas, in this empty place, he can actually discharge the sentry that he can't find, it seems that the strength of the army does not live up to its reputation.

After several inspections, Ling Xingyue quietly found a high position facing the wind, looked at the cavalry from a distance, endured his temperament, and waited until the second half of the night before getting up, using his treacherous posture, repeatedly circling the big circle, towards the injured herdsmen, and approached them.

When he was still more than ten zhang away from the herdsman, Ling Xingyue suddenly accelerated, went straight into the middle palace, and in a flash, he arrived beside the herdsman farmer's uncle, covered his mouth and nose with both hands, and said softly in his ear:

"Old farmer, it's me, Ling Xingyue, don't make a loud noise."

Uncle Nong had already known that this Ling Xingyue was that these days, and when he heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and when Ling Xingyue withdrew his hand and went back, he hurriedly said in a low voice:

"Lord Wang, why are you?"

"Just in time, listen to me, how many of them are there?"

"There were two hundred men who came, but the brigade drove the cattle first, and the rest were twenty-three men and thirty horses."

"What weapons are you carrying?"

"All of them were bows and sabers, and they were all covered in leather armor, and there were no shields, and there were no crossbows in sight."

"Is there any witchcraft or anything that comes with it?"

"No, it's all cavalry."

"You didn't count the number wrong, were there twenty-three from the beginning?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's absolutely right, old farmer, I paid attention to this from the beginning, the two teams scored one point, I watched, these twenty-three people have always followed us, and the rest are gone."

After asking after some words, Ling Xingyue was a little annoyed, because just now he looked at these cavalry from a distance, and he had already confirmed that it was twenty-three people, but he also added two invisible secret sentinels in his heart, but he didn't expect to know from the old farmer's mouth, in fact, these people were these people, and there was no sentry post at all.

These cavalrymen were not powerful officers, but they did not pay attention to the pursuers of the Ming Dynasty at all and did not set up sentry posts.

Thinking that he was secretly praising these Warat cavalry just now, Ling Xingyue vaguely felt annoyed that his IQ had been humiliated.

"What's wrong with you, lord?"

The old farmer looked at Ling Xingyue in the dark, and his eyes suddenly glowed faintly, which was quite different from ordinary people, but he didn't dare to ask, he just felt that he was not only a little scared in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

"It's okay, I'll untie the rope for you."
