Chapter 63: The Enemy of the North

Although Qin Shaofu had already made certain psychological preparations before coming to bear King Xia's unreasonableness. But in the next few days, he still felt that he had underestimated this family that had died.

The entire Jiuding City was filled with a loose atmosphere, and everything was carried out in an extraordinary and orderly way. The so-called preparations actually took more than ten days to finish, and it was only the first batch of things.

When the team finally decided to start setting off, Qin Shaofu was also relieved, because he was really worried that he would not be able to bear it anymore. It's not just things, it's people.

"Wild ...... Guards!"

The voice of the Lady of the Horn could pop up at any moment, as disgusting as ever: "I like red lately, red horse wang me, give me your horse!"

The world is so wonderful, and I am so ...... Qin Shaofu took a deep breath, then turned around and smiled: "Obey, Shizi." ”

Without hesitation, he turned over and dismounted, and stood aside honestly.

This kind of reaction obviously couldn't satisfy Ji Mingju, and he said in a deep voice: "Your horse is too tall, squat down and wait for me to get on the horse!"

Qin Shaofu took a deep breath again, looked up at the sky, and saw the black spot that the eagle had turned into, this was the calming mind, and smiled slightly: "Shizi, it's okay!"

Then he patted his red horse on the back, and the mount immediately knelt on the ground. This horse is the best horse in the Qin Palace, and it is well trained.

Seeing that this didn't embarrass the other party, Ji Mingjue snorted and stepped forward. Qin Shaofu greeted again, and the jujube red horse immediately stood up, and snorted, as if he didn't want to carry others.

Qin Shaofu patted the horse's neck to soothe it, and then went over to ride another horse. I don't continue to feel uncomfortable here, I'm busy getting out of the sight of this prince to find the fourth prince.

Huangfu Changqing was discussing something with Yao Qiang, the head of the guard, while walking, and the two broke away from the large group moving forward, their faces were grim, obviously there was something important that they didn't want others to know. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly said, "You came just in time, something big happened." ”

Qin Shaofu seemed to have expected it: "But the nomads appeared?"

Huangfu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "How do you know?"

Qin Shaofu pointed to the sky: "I found that Hai Dongqing in the morning, and it has been hovering in the sky until now." It is impossible for ordinary Hai Dongqing to be like this, if my guess is correct, it should be the Ghost Fang's Xinying Wizard. ”

Yao Qiang hurriedly raised his head, and after taking a closer look, his pupils suddenly shrank. As the chief of the guard of the second prince, his strength is naturally extraordinary, and he is already in the realm of the sea of qi. It's just that he was also born in a noble family, and he has limited battlefield experience, so he didn't know about this kind of thing, so he didn't pay attention to it, and he naturally saw it at this moment.

"Nomads are our collective name for the northern peoples, led by the three tribes of Dog Rong, Guifang, and Diqiang, uniting various tribes. Among them, the wizards of the ghost side are the most magical, some of them can bless others, so that soldiers have stronger combat effectiveness, and some can combine their souls with animals. “

Qin Shaofu slowly explained: "The latter, we call it the Faith Eagle Wizard, what the Faith Eagle sees is what they see, and not only the eagle, as far as I know, they can also control the wolf and the white fox." To put it simply, he himself can be thirty miles away from us, and then spy on us by manipulating Hai Dongqing. He could see the movement of our team clearly. “

"Ahh

Huangfu Changqing was suddenly shocked: "I just received information from General Geng of Tongling Guan, saying that the enemy in the north is coming. As we had expected, it was menacing, more than usual, and beyond expectations, at least 250,000, about to reach ...... It seems that the information is wrong and has already come. “

If the enemy deliberately came at him, there were at least more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were brave and good soldiers. And here, with only 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 Xia King's people, it is impossible to withstand it.

"It shouldn't be yet!" Qin Shaofu shook his head: "Nomads are actually not as reckless as rumored, on the contrary, they are still very cautious. The environment in the north is harsh, and the fertility is not as good as in the south, so in fact, they cherish the lives of soldiers more. “

"According to the previous situation, they all sent the Ghost Eagle's Wizard to investigate the defense of the Northland before attacking, so as to avoid casualties. Because of this, although they suffered casualties in each invasion, they never really hurt their vitality. “

"But in the past, they attacked at most 100,000 horses, and if this time it was really 250,000, I suspect that their purpose is not to raid the border, but to us. “

"We!" Huangfu Changqing suddenly frowned: "What do you mean...... Someone in the Great Han Dynasty has fornicated with them?"

Without waiting for Qin Shaofu to answer, he sighed lightly: "That's right, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental, in fact, I have already guessed, but I just don't want to think in this direction." “

"I also thought about taking advantage of Tongling Pass to send troops to contain it, so we changed our itinerary to speed up, entered Liaodong first, and at the same time sent someone to send a letter to the Tang family to ask for support. In this way, even if the nomads know about our situation here, they will follow the wrong direction at the first time, but as you say......"

There is a letter eagle in the sky, and no matter what you do, you are all passive.

After thinking about it, there was no choice but to ask, "Do you have a good plan?"

Qin Shaofu looked at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Unless you leave all the burdens, you have the opportunity to protect you and King Xia from danger, but there is only a chance, and the chance is not high." The combat effectiveness of the cavalry of Diqiang is not as good as that of the Great Xia Dragon Bird, but they are all light cavalry, and I have never seen a faster speed than them in a hurry. “

"In addition, there is also the monitoring of the letter eagle, if you just blindly escape, the probability of being caught up is at least eighty percent. Hai Dongqing's eyesight at night is far less than half a day, and there is still more than an hour for the sun to go down, in my opinion, temporarily set up camp, make a decision as soon as possible whether to go south or east, and then rush at night. “

Huangfu Changqing didn't have a good way at the moment, so he nodded immediately, and then asked the chief of the guard to give the order to go down and camp on the spot.

It was because of the long journey that King Xia's family was bitter, and as soon as they heard that they could rest, they all made friends, and soon set up camp in the same place.

Inside the tent, the map is set up, and the entire Jibei Plain can be seen clearly.

Huangfu Changqing looked at Qin Shaofu with a serious face: "Yao Qiang and I are not familiar with the situation in the north, and now we can only listen to you for everything." “

Qin Shaofu pinched it, looked at the map and pondered, and after a while, he pointed to the map and said, "For now, we only have three choices. First, take everyone to continue south, and the probability of being caught up is ninety percent, and the next step is to make a decision. Second, eastward, even if you leave behind the burden, the probability of being caught up is seventy percent. “

Huangfu Changqing immediately interrupted him and asked, "Is the night march still seventy percent?"

Qin Shaofu nodded on the map and said, "Our current location is closer to Liaodong. Normal thinking, if you don't go south, you must go east. “

"Although we can hide some of our night marches, they only need to use Haidongqing to explore the south during the day, and if they can't find any traces of us, they can know that we are traveling east, not to mention that such a large group of people can't hide their traces. We only had a one-night time difference and it wasn't much. ”

Yao Qiang immediately asked, "Isn't this hopeless?"

Qin Shaofu shook his head: "There is naturally hope!"

Then he pointed to the west: "Westward travel is the best choice, we can have eighty percent hope of escaping!"

"Why?" asked Huangfu Changqing busily.

Qin Shaofu was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, and many people began to move.

Yao Qiang was about to go out to inquire, but a guard rushed in and said loudly: "Tell the four princes, an unknown figure suddenly appeared to attack the camp." The baggage was set on fire, and the damage was not light. ”

"How many people are here?" asked Huangfu Changqing hurriedly.

"About fifty people, the scouts who were released were all killed, and the situation outside the camp was not clear, so they did not dare to rush out. ”

"What!" Huangfu Changqing hurriedly ordered: "Yao Qiang, you go and deal with this matter!"

"Yes!"

The chief of the guard immediately rushed out.

Huangfu Changqing glanced at Qin Shaofu again and said, "It seems that the situation is even more troublesome than imagined. ”

"Not bad!" Qin Shaofu frowned: "But this kind of weather actually chose to set fire to the baggage, isn't it stupid?"

It rains and rains continuously, and it takes a lot of effort to cause damage. If it's you, what if it's you?

After thinking about it for a while, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he secretly shouted that it was not good, and immediately shouted: "Be careful!"

After saying that, he kicked at the candlestick that was lit on the side.

As soon as he hit one of the kicks, he heard Huangfu Changqing scream in pain, and a sharp arrow shot through his chest and hit the ground.

I saw that his legs bent and he fell.
