Chapter 804: Breaking Seven Cities in a Row
After such a long period of training, Lin Jinxiu is now very proficient in horseback riding skills.
Sure enough, practice is the best teacher.
Riding horses and running around with the troops all day long, Lin Jinxiu is estimated to be a coach in the horse farm if he returns to modern times now.
Zhu Hongyu and they have been running behind Huai Yanqing since they changed their route on this day.
On the day they got the news that they were rerouted, Huai Yanqing led people to break through Dongyang City, and in the midst of the shouts of killing, Zhou Yi was once again taken away from the south gate of Dongyang City by the Sparrow Spirit, leaving the people in the city to hide at home and peek out.
Huai Yanqing still does the same thing, not to disturb the people.
But this time Huai Yanqing didn't catch anyone, everyone basically followed Zhou Yi from the south city gate, Huai Yanqing didn't care, and then settled the wounded, repaired for a day, left a few civilian personnel and a troop and wounded soldiers here to temporarily appease the people in the city, and he took the rest to continue to chase Zhou Yi who escaped.
Then Zhu Hongyu and the others will take a slow step every time, and when they receive the news and rush over, they will find that Huai Yanqing has already taken someone to the next city.
One after another, Huai Yanqing broke through seven cities in a row, and it was not until Chengyu Pass that he stopped the pace of pursuit.
Because Huai Yanqing and they will repair every time they break a city, they will repair for a day, so the distance between Zhu Hongyu and Huai Yanqing has been gradually shortening, and when Huai Yanqing stopped at Chengyu Pass, Zhu Hongyu and Lin Jinxiu have already led the troops to Huai Yanqing less than half a day's journey.
"Miss Lin, the front is Chengyu Pass, and entering from the pass is the mainland of the Zhou Kingdom, if the prince can break through here, then there will be no more effective resistance in the back." Zhu Hongyu knew that Lin Jinxiu didn't know much about Zhou Guo's side, so he explained to Lin Jinxiu during the break.
"We received news before, Yanqing is coming in this direction, since this pass is so important, Zhou Guo should have arranged heavy troops to guard it." Lin Jinxiu thought about the various legends about Yumen Pass that he had heard in modern times, and after trying to substitute it, he had a vague concept in his heart.
"Indeed, as the last gateway of the Zhou Kingdom, this place has always been guarded by the real military generals of the Zhou Kingdom." Obviously, Zhu Hongyu has learned about their news, and at this time he affirmed Lin Jinxiu's guess.
"Then let's hurry up, since the defense here is not comparable to other places, maybe we can catch up with Yanqing." After listening to Zhu Hongyu's analysis, Lin Jinxiu immediately reacted, and suggested to Zhu Hongyu as soon as his eyes lit up.
"That's exactly what I think, maybe Miss Lin insisted?"
Of course, Zhu Hongyu also thought of this, but they are all used to marching in a hurry, although Lin Jinxiu has a good physical fitness, but after all, he has not undergone professional training, and he has been running behind Huai Yanqing for more than ten days, Zhu Hongyu is a little worried about Lin Jinxiu's body.
"I don't have a problem, don't worry." After Lin Jinxiu heard Zhu Hongyu's words, her heart warmed, and she smiled to comfort Zhu Hongyu.
Although she does feel very bad now, but in fact, it is more psychological, her body has been transformed several times in space, and it has long been different from ordinary people, not to mention that it has been so many days, even if it is another ten days, it is impossible for her body to have problems.
Zhu Hongyu looked at Lin Jinxiu and found that although she had a tired look on her face, her whole complexion was okay, even better than some soldiers, and she thought for a while that instead of slowing down, it was better to continue to hurry now, and it was not too late to rest after meeting with the prince at the place, "Since this is the case, then let's continue to hurry." ”
"Good!" Lin Jinxiu cheered herself up in her heart, and she couldn't see the reluctance on her face at all, and after Zhu Hongyu gave the order, she got on the horse and waited first.
"Miss Lin is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, and she has persevered in the rapid march for so many days."
"Lin Jiaotou is worthy of being a person who can come up with those training methods, and he hasn't been tired until now, he is really different from ordinary women."
"Nonsense, our Lin Jiaotou is a strange woman, how can he be the same as those weak women who are raised in the boudoir."
The people of the special forces are used to calling Lin Jinxiu "Lin Jiaotou", and when they heard the discussion of those people in front of them, they couldn't help but speak.
After hearing Zhu Hongyu's order, everyone also began to take action, and when they saw that Lin Jinxiu's action was still so neat, they all admired it.
When they came out this time, they brought half of the soldiers of the special forces, and left half for Qin Shuyao, so that they could protect Qin Shuyao and prevent people from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and the rest of the people were all here, all gathered together at this time, and when the troops took action, they would disperse and guard the surroundings.
Lin Jinxiu didn't know what everyone thought of her, and after everyone packed up their things, Zhu Hongyu rode her baby horse over.
"Let's go!"
Under the order, everyone set off towards Chengyu Pass with a clear goal, Lin Jinxiu looked at the front with firm eyes, patted the horse's back, and rushed out with Zhu Hongyu.
Huai Yanqing didn't know that Lin Jinxiu was coming to find him at this time, he was looking at the Xiongguan in front of him, asking everyone to set up camp, and he called a few generals to start discussing countermeasures.
When camping, the handsome tent was the first to be packed, Huai Yanqing asked people to arrange for others to patrol, rest, and draw a general topographic map of Chengyu Pass on the ground, call up the information collected before in his mind, and begin to analyze it slowly.
When there was a sound outside, Huai Yanqing came back to his senses, because the tent was simple and there was no sand table, so they could only deduce things on the ground.
"Click!"
After a few crunching sounds, Huai Yanqing felt a little better, but as soon as he stood up, he didn't dare to move.
Several generals also had the same expressions, everyone stared at each other, and no one moved.
Zhu Hongyu didn't know that when she and Lin Jinxiu were in a hurry, Huai Yanqing and they made themselves so miserable, and everyone didn't dare to move their legs together, which was also a big anecdote, and they didn't know that there were bigger surprises waiting for them in Chengyuguan.
When Lin Jinxiu and Zhu Hongyu rushed to Chengyu Pass together, it was already nightfall.
In the darkness of the night, you can see a place with torches in the distance.
"Hongyu, are we here, do you want to send someone over to take a look?"
"The scouts are over, let's step back a little and wait."
Along the way, Zhu Hongyu and they have always sent people to explore the way, although they can already see the light of the torches at this time, but in fact, there is still a distance to go.
In order not to cause misunderstanding, and for the sake of prudence, Zhu Hongyu stopped the team.
Although there was speculation that it was Huai Yanqing's team stationed here, the scout team still approached here cautiously, and after seeing the flag and sign from a distance, they glanced at each other, and they all had a flash of excitement.
After following for so long, it can be regarded as catching up.
"Go back and report to the general, go!"
As the words fell, several figures flashed quickly, blending into the darkness as if they had never appeared.
"What are we going to do?"
"Two people came out to follow, one went back to report to the prince, and the others and I continued to guard the camp."
"Yes."
A few more slight movements flashed, three figures flickered through the darkness, two followed the scouts in front, careful not to show their tracks, and one of them ran towards Huai Yanqing's temporary camp after leaving there.
Although they were fast, their movements were light, and they did not cause any movement, but in a few breaths, the human figure was completely invisible.
It turned out that when the scout was acting, although he had tried to minimize his movements, he was still seen by the people arranged by Huai Yanqing in the dark, but because they recognized the identity of the scout, they did not stop it, but despite this, they still sent someone back to report to Huai Yanqing.
The scouts didn't know that they had been exposed, and at this time they were standing in front of Zhu Hongyu, trying their best to control their breathing, and calmly told them what they had observed, "General, there is the banner of the prince at the torch in front, and the size is indeed where our team is stationed." ”
"Hongyu, we finally caught up." Lin Jinxiu was also listening to the reports of the scouts on the side, and said a word to Zhu Hongyu with a smile at this time, with a hint of laughter in his eyes. ”
"Let's go now." Zhu Hongyu's eyes also had the joy of talking, and after glancing at Lin Jinxiu, he called the herald to give orders to the team behind.
"Let's go!"
As the orders were passed on, the whole team slowly moved again, and Lin Jinxiu and Zhu Hongyu did not delay any longer, and immediately took the lead.
Zhu Hongyu and they didn't start to rest, they didn't need to pack their luggage at this time, the speed of the team was still very fast, but after a while, the team that formed a long dragon began to move forward.
The two people who were sent out by the leader to follow the scouts over, after seeing Zhu Hongyu's iconic war horse in the distance, the two glanced at each other, the vigilance in their eyes disappeared a little, and they didn't go out after that, when Zhu Hongyu and their team began to move, they had already run back for some distance.
Lin Jinxiu and Zhu Hongyu walked in the front this time, looking at the darkness in front of them, without any hesitation in their actions, only the dim yellow light from the torch in the distance.
The trees on both sides stretched their branches with their teeth and claws, but Lin Jinxiu and they were not afraid, only the sound of stepping on the fallen leaves in the quiet night, until Lin Jinxiu clearly saw the person in front of them who was shrouded in the halo of torches.
Huai Yanqing has been discussing things with several generals since he set up camp here today, and after having dinner in the evening, he let everyone rest early, and prepare to repair one night and go to Chengyuguan tomorrow to investigate the situation, but when he just fell asleep, he heard someone outside come in and tell him that the guards outside had sent someone back.
"Let people in." After Huai Yanqing sat up from the bed, there was no confusion in his eyes that he had just woken up, he gathered the clothes that were sleeping in disorder, commanded outside, and got off the bed himself, put on a piece of clothing casually, and walked to the table next to him.
I walked to the table and sat down, and as soon as I poured myself a cup of cold tea and took a sip, the person had already come in.
