Chapter 226: Capture the Thief
It was just dawn, and the pale blue sky was still studded with a few sparse remnant stars.
An army of several thousand men walked out of the northern gate of Gorway County and quickly walked towards the north. The number of troops is not large, and most of them are cavalry, so the speed of travel is very fast.
"Brother Ye's martial arts are strong, and I really admire him. In the Xiliang army, there is only one brother who can defeat General Pang, and now there are more Brother Ye. Especially your body style, it is unpredictable, I don't know when Brother Ye will have time to point out in the next two. The young general at the head of the team looked at Ye Kai and smiled.
"General Ma has won the award."
Ye Kai glanced at the young general beside him and smiled. This young general is Ma Dai, although he is Ma Teng's nephew, his influence in the Xiliang Army is only greater than Ma Chao and Pang De, and he is more prestigious than Ma Teng's other two biological sons, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu. Although he is young, he is extremely calm and very appreciated by Ma Teng.
This time, Ma Teng sent him as Ye Kai's deputy general to assist Ye Kai. After all, Ye Kai is an outsider, even if Ma Tengken is relieved to hand over the army to him, these soldiers under him may not be able to obey him. It would be nice to have Ma Dai act as this transition buffer.
Ma Dai looked at Ye Kai, and then looked at Diao Chan and Nie Xiaoqian's two daughters beside Ye Kai, in his eyes, the two daughters are all the best in the world. I felt more and more that I couldn't see through the man in front of me who was about the same age as me. Steadily, he didn't inquire into the relationship between the second daughter and Ye Kai, nor did he go to talk to the second daughter, because he knew that this was a taboo for many men.
"Where?" Ye Kai suddenly asked. For the terrain in Liangzhou and familiar with it, it is natural to ask Ma Dai, a local.
"It's about to enter the scope of Dunhuang County, do you order to set up camp?" Ma Dai asked.
This is the most basic common sense of marching and fighting, but Ma Dai still opened his mouth to ask Ye Kai because he didn't want to give Ye Kai a feeling of power. After finishing speaking, Ma Dai looked at Ye Kai, feeling a little nervous, for fear that it would cause Ye Kai's dissatisfaction.
"Well, it's up to you to decide these things. Marching and fighting wars or something, it's not my forte anyway. Ye Kai replied lightly.
After confirming Ye Kai's reaction, although Ma Dai was still a little worried in his heart, he finally relaxed a lot. Turning the horse's head, he began to go down and begin to direct the matters related to the encampment.
"Hehe, this little general is a little afraid of you." Xiao Qian, who was sitting on the white horse, said with a smile.
"Afraid?" Ye Kai shook his head, suddenly looked at Nie Xiaoqian, and chuckled. "Then Xiaoqian, are you afraid of me?"
"Hehe, Xiao Qian is not afraid." Nie Xiaoqian knew that Ye Kai was teasing herself, and she was not annoyed. Instead, he grinned back.
"Xianggong, we are outsiders after all, I'm afraid of ......" Diao Chan wanted to speak and stopped. Growing up in Situ Mansion, she has seen too much darkness. It is not a new thing for the birds to hide their bows, and for the rabbits to die and the dogs to cook. Ye Kai's deeds of saving refugees have slowly spread, thousands of refugees have spread by word of mouth, and Ye Kai has become a household name in Wuwei County. Because in troubled times, a person needs to stand up, and Ye Kai happened to stand up when those refugees needed help the most, so for them, Ye Kai was the savior. If Ye Kai helps Ma Teng recapture the city this time. The prestige is going to be even bigger. It is a taboo no matter where the master is to be high.
"It's fine." Ye Kai looked up at the distance and said lightly.
For Diao Chan, this sentence is enough.
"Brother Ye, I have already ordered to go down. Let the soldiers camp in place. If it's late today, and we're on a day's journey, we're tired, I'll rest here tonight. Tomorrow we will go back to the siege. I wonder if Brother Ye has any opinions? Ma Dai rode to Ye Kai's side and asked.
"I said that the matter of marching and fighting is up to you, and you don't need to ask me for instructions on everything." Ye Kai said with a smile.
Five thousand soldiers and horses moved in an orderly manner under the command of Ma Dai. Set up camp, make fires and make meals, send troops to inspect, and march on a steady track. Ye Kai could see that this Ma Dai was indeed a general, and although the force value was not very prominent, it was a stable word. This kind of talent is actually the best candidate to defend the city.
After dinner, everyone except the soldiers on patrol went back to the camp to rest. And Ye Kai didn't go to his tent after saying goodbye to Ma Dai. Instead, he walked silently out of the tent and disappeared into the night.
At this time, there was no moon in the night sky, only a few stars twinkling, but with Ye Kai's eyesight now, he could still clearly see the movement in front of him.
The midsummer evening breeze blew by, the hair on Ye Kai's forehead swayed with the wind, and the eyes covered by the hair were as deep as the night sky.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night of murder."
"It's a great sin to be an executioner who disturbs people's dreams.
Shoot people first and shoot horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, this is what Ye Kai wants to do now.
The moon-stepping step spread out under the moonlight, as if Ye Kai was really stepping on the moon, the speed was amazing, and often just saw an afterimage, and the person had already appeared a few feet away.
"Here we are." Ye Kai, who was moving fast, suddenly stopped and looked up into the distance.
I saw a towering city wall, towering in the starry night.
The city wall was lit with fire, and I saw soldiers with torches standing on the city wall and patrolling back and forth. And Ye Kai happened to be standing at a safe distance, observing the situation of the soldiers patrolling the wall.
"Two squads, twenty or thirty people, and the distance between people is so far that it almost runs through the entire city wall." Ye Kai thought about it, and then gave up the plan to kill them all. Although it is not impossible, if there is even a little mistake, the gain will outweigh the loss, and Ye Kai's goal is not them.
With the help of the night, Ye Kai exerted his speed to the extreme and rushed towards the city wall. Turning into a black shadow, he was under the city wall in the blink of an eye.
"Moonwalk!"
Without the slightest pause, Ye Kai directly stepped on the moon step and flew towards the city wall. After a period of observation, Ye Kai found that the patrol in this direction he had broken through had obvious loopholes. It's only a very brief vulnerability, but that's enough!
"Huh?" A soldier suddenly whispered.
"Ah San, what's wrong with you?" Another soldier next to him looked back at his companion and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that I saw a dark shadow passing by in the corner of my eye just now?" The soldier rubbed his eyes, a little uncertain.
"Dark shadows? You're not going to be dazzled, right, let you restrain yourself, now it's okay, play with your body. Anyway, we have completely controlled this city, and those women can play at any time, so there is no need to rush for a while. The soldier next to him looked like he had come over.
"Perhaps." (To be continued......) R1292
