Chapter 249: Spiritual Awareness of Danger
The Northern Route Army was marching with difficulty, the ground was covered with thick snow, and the horses stepped on it, directly reaching the crook of the leg.
Although there was no snow, the wind was very strong, and the snowflakes were flying all over the sky, making it impossible to open people's eyes, and although the soldiers were wrapped in thick coats, the cold could still penetrate directly into the bones.
Fortunately, Qin Guan and they looted a lot of materials, and the soldiers were wearing the thick fur clothes of the Liao soldiers, otherwise they might really freeze to death.
Xiong Da rode over, pointed ahead and said, "There is a valley in front of you, which can block the wind, young master, or we will camp there tonight." ”
"How far is it from Pak Anju." Qin Guan asked.
"It's about 200 miles away."
Qin Guan said, "At the current marching speed, we will have to walk for at least two days, so let's rest over there tonight." ”
If it were on the plains, the cavalry would have arrived in less than a day for two hundred miles, but now it is all snowing here, and even if there is an official road, it is very difficult to walk, and at this time, the locals almost do not come out to move.
This is a crater, into the col is indeed no strong wind, much warmer, all the soldiers began to set up camp, fire to boil water, let the soldiers drink a sip of hot soup first.
Xiong Er was in charge of defense and sent a scout team to investigate the enemy for twenty miles from front to back.
Qin Guan took Han Yuqing to inspect and found that many soldiers were frostbitten, and after returning to the camp and calling, let Han Yuqing go to rest, Qin Guan thought about it and called the officer, "Prepare a hundred buckets, I will be useful." ”
After a short time, the bucket was ready, Qin Guan was in the big tent, took out the water hyacinth, and began to put the spirits collected inside.
When he was in Xijin Mansion, Qin Guan specially asked Zhao Yanshou to get thousands of jars of spirits, these things took up too much space, Qin Guan directly included them in the water hyacinth, and now they are just using it.
After a while, a hundred barrels of wine were loaded, and Qin Guan also specially filled two barrels of tiger bone wine, which were very useful for those frostbitten soldiers to rub their bodies.
Qin Guan ordered that everyone could drink three taels of wine after dinner to warm up their bodies.
Hearing this order, there was a burst of cheers in the barracks.
You must know that it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in the barracks, and if a soldier drinks secretly without permission, he will receive 20 military sticks.
Today, the general is gracious and allowed to drink, and these men are naturally happy.
Although it is only three taels, it is a hundred times stronger than nothing.
In the early morning of the next day, the team set out again and headed for Beianju, looking at the endless snowfields, and in the distance were rolling hills and mountains, covered with snow, like white mountain bags, and the sun shone through, reflecting a dazzling light.
On the third day, there were still sixty miles away from Bei'anzhou, and finally looked forward to hope, Qin Guan decided that when he arrived in Bei'anzhou, he must recuperate for a few days.
Riding on a horse and following the team, at this moment, Qin Guan, who had no reason, suddenly had a feeling of heart palpitations.
This feeling is very unreasonable, and it suddenly hits his heart, as if something very bad has happened, but he can't grasp it.
It seems that he has been in this situation before.
When did it come?
By the way, it was the trafficker who chased the young lady that Qin Guan chased after him, and there was a master on the big ship who ambushed him, and a trace of palpitations appeared in his heart, so he escaped the fatal blow.
And this time, this feeling of palpitations was much stronger than that time.
It made him feel like his heart was throbbing.
Qin Guan suddenly came to his senses, afraid that something bad was about to happen, or someone was targeting him, and he was in danger.
Suddenly, Qin Guan remembered that before he got the system, he had this kind of dangerous experience, that time he drove a race with people, when driving at high speed, he suddenly had a heart palpitation, he thought he had a heart attack, so he chose to brake, but after braking, there was nothing to do.
Then, there was a car accident in front.
Qin Guan glanced around, this was a continuous hilly area, they were passing through the official road, there were hills and dense pine forests on both sides, but the pine forests were already covered with snow, and they couldn't see the original green.
Qin Guan raised his hand and said to the guards: "Inform the army to stop advancing." ”
Several guards immediately ran out to report the news, and after a while, there were bursts of orders from the army, "The commander has an order, stop advancing." "The commander has an order, stop advancing." Passing down layer by layer, the line quickly stopped.
After a while, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xue Mu, and Pan Liang rode over, and Xiong Er asked, "Young Master, what's wrong." ”
Han Yuqing also looked at Xiang Gong curiously.
Qin Guan squinted his eyes, looked at the distance and said: "I feel that danger is coming, so I immediately sent scouts to probe back and forth, left and right, thirty miles, no, fifty miles." ”
If it were modern, some people might be dismissive of Qin Guan's suspicions, but in ancient times, people were very superstitious, or in other words, believed that there were gods and ghosts in the world.
A general who commands troops to fight a war feels the danger in advance, and it is not without precedent in ancient times, this is not a god.
Qin Guan said so, and they naturally believed it.
Immediately sent scouts out to investigate, Xiong Da asked: "Young master, what should we do now, are we just waiting for news here?" ”
Qin Guan nodded, "Wait, rest in place, and let the soldiers make a fire to cook." ”
"But it's only midday, and it's still some time before noon." Xiong Da hesitated.
Qin Guan said: "Let the soldiers be full, if there is a situation, it is easy to deal with it, anyway, we don't lack a meal." ”
The team stopped to light a fire to cook, and the soldiers were also puzzled, but it was better to eat a hot meal than to trek through the snow, and since the general let it be eaten, then eat.
Half an hour has passed,
The scouts from the south and west have returned, nothing happens, the southwest is the route they came from, and it is relatively unlikely that something will go wrong.
An hour passed, and none of the scouts in the northeast and north returned, and none of them came back, and everyone knew that something was really wrong.
Now people finally believe that Qin Guan's senses are so sensitive, and he can actually sense danger in advance, to say that this is not a miracle.
But now is not the time to think about this, Qin Guan summoned everyone to start discussing how to deal with it, and the result of the discussion was that he would send the forward army to investigate, this time sending five thousand people over, bringing heavy weapons, he would not easily fall into the enemy's ambush, and he would know how to deal with it if he first found out the enemy's situation.
Qin Guan spread out the map and began to look for the other party's possible hiding place.
Yelushi's face was grim, standing on a big rock, looking at the corpses of the dozen or so Zhao State scouts below, he knew that his ambush was over.
"I don't know how you found out, but this time you did get out of the way, so let's face it off."
"Let's see if you Qin Guan has the real ability to resist the 20,000 most elite iron cavalry army of the Liao Kingdom in this northern Liao country, in the wilderness."
