Before he had time to think about it, the scout suddenly rushed out of the belly of his horse, and ran towards the high ground a hundred paces away in the distance, he needed to see what was going on. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He was a little incredulous, this is not on the Heshuo Plain, but on the plateau, but in Huaibei, how is it possible?

The other rider was much calmer, dismounted, and listened sharply, but quickly got up, and his face had turned pale.

"Erlang, it's too late, you hurry up! I'll intercept you!"

The scout, who had already run dozens of steps away, suddenly looked back and roared: "You go, I'll intercept it, remember, my old mother must be sent to the end!"

In a few breaths, the scout had rushed to the high ground, and the blackened cavalry on the horizon had galloped at a constant pace along the flat ground hundreds of paces between the river banks.

This is a well-trained cavalry, the speed is maintained quite well, not fast or slow, not only to maintain the physical strength of the horse to the maximum, but also to maintain a certain speed, and in the end there is a rush.

With some difficulty, Erlang who was standing on the high ground began to pull out phosphorus rockets, and the scout who got up from the ground bit his lip in pain, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he didn't have time to think about it, he flew on the horse and rushed out: "Erlang, take care!"

"Hey!" the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and the scout standing on the high ground had already ridden down the high ground and rushed east along the riverbank, while several phosphorus rockets in his hand continued to fly out.

It's just a mantis arm as a car, but he also has to do it, and he wants to use his life to win even the slightest possibility for today's negligence.

Miyajiro knew that the other scout must have been solved by the other party's scout, otherwise the enemy would not have rushed to the front and there was still no warning signal, if he or another companion walked with the scout, he might be able to win some hope, but this time he had a bit of luck, in exchange for a disaster.

Now he can only risk his life to buy even a minute of time for his comrades and comrades.

The phosphorus rockets continued to fly out, almost every fifty paces was an arrow, and the withered grass everywhere in winter was ignited by the continuous phosphorus rockets, and in a few breaths it began to burn, and then began to spread.

It's a pity that there are only more than ten phosphorus rockets carried on the body, no matter how to cause a fire, it is just to let this radius of a few hundred steps catch fire, for the cavalry, it is just to be able to delay it, but this passage is precisely the smoothest and most easy, if you want to bypass this piece, there is a dry Serval Ze under the broken ground, and the mud is soft, if these thousands of cavalry want to rush by, they have to worry about breaking the horse's legs.

It is precisely because of this that he dares to create this fire so desperately, as long as he can delay the enemy cavalry for two moments, even if he is killed immediately, it will be worth it.

At noon, although the wind was not strong, more than a dozen ignition points ignited almost at the same time, and soon several places were connected and began to scurry around along the wind.

Yuan Wenliang's face was pale, his eyes were almost spewing fire, staring at the guy who was still running around in the fire to set fire.

This fire can't stop the footsteps of the Caizhou cavalry to the south, but it can slow down the progress of the south, and this fire comes together, God knows if this smoke cloud will make the Chengde army in the south vigilant?

After calculating and calculating, I still didn't calculate that the scouts of the Cheng German army were so vigilant, and actually arranged two scout lines on the back road, and after solving the first scout, the dragon sparrow tail was a little careless, but I didn't expect the scouts of the Cheng German army to react so quickly, and they were also equipped with this phosphorus rocket, which could make the entire field burn at once.

"Kill him!" In a hoarse voice, Yuan Wenliang almost popped out of his teeth.

Several horsemen galloped out, forming a fan-shaped encirclement, shuttling lightly in the fire, and rushing straight away.

Realizing that the crisis was coming, Gong Nan suddenly attached his body to the horse's belly, dodged two arrows that he was determined to get, and urged the horse to gallop along the line of fire, but the enemy rider obviously would not let him get out, and the fan-shaped encirclement continued to expand, firmly locking his whereabouts.

"Boom!boom!boom!"

The arrows burst out like thunder, flickering in the smoke clouds of the fire.

A sharp stabbing pain came from his shoulder, and the force of the impact knocked him off his horse and into the fire.

"Cheap kid!"

"Hurry up! Your Excellency is angry!"

"It's so unlucky, now I have to go around again!"

In the face of the monstrous fire, Yuan Wuxing could only sigh and hold the reins of the horse and turn around again.

The ground on the other side of the slope was too soft, and there would definitely be problems for a cavalry of this size to step on, and the Heshuo scout, who was supposed to be a good candidate, actually blocked this section of the passage with rockets hundreds of paces in such a short time.

Although this passage has not yet been completely sealed by fire, Yuan Wuxing does not dare to take this risk, maybe the cavalry in front can pass through smoothly, but if the follow-up war horses are frightened, they are afraid that they will be in chaos.

If you want to bypass this section of the fire and wetland, you must at least go around a few miles to the east, and it will take a few moments to go around, to say the least, and I hope this guy is only one person.

"Your Excellency, there are only a few miles ahead to the boundary card, and you see, that high ground over there is much higher than the other river banks, and there are three or five boats that can be docked there, and if the Cheng German army comes, and there are tired, sick and wounded, they can go directly to the boats. ”

Mei Guo nodded, climbed the soft ladder, climbed the lookout post on the mast, and looked far away.

Although there is no sign of the German army, it must be almost there.

The news from Wang Miao said that there were many horseless cavalry in the German army, and it was estimated that these soldiers could not play much role in the first battle of Yingzhou, so they had to return to Huzhou by boat, and they could also accept the Xiazhou war horses purchased by the lord from Hu Shang as soon as possible, familiarize themselves with the horses as soon as possible, and prepare for the next battle of Wudi.

"Huh?!" Mei had just had time to notice the smoke and dust in the distance, and the people below also noticed, "What is that? It seems that there is a fire somewhere. ”

"Maybe somewhere, it's burning so badly?!"

"Impossible! How could such a large amount of smoke and dust rise from the burning wasteland at once? No, it was as if a large area was on fire at the same time. ”

"If it's not burning wasteland, how can it be? In the wilderness, who will do anything?"

Indeed, dark and gloomy clouds of smoke are constantly rising on the horizon of the entire skyline, and everyone is a character who is old in war, so they can naturally judge how far away these smoke and dust are, this is winter, and there are also burns, but such a sudden appearance of such a large-scale burning is obviously unlikely.

The dispute between the subordinates below made Mei Guo frown, although he was not sure what the smoke and dust that suddenly appeared in the sky meant, but the high degree of vigilance still made Mei Guo feel that he should be careful, especially when he was about to arrive at his destination and receive the Cheng German army.

"Order! The fleet will set sails, speed up, approach the Jiepai Heights, and spread out in a linear pattern! All armies will be put on alert and ready for battle!"

The sergeant standing under the mast repeated the commander's order aloud.

The adjutant general below was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Mei Guan standing on the lookout post, he ignored him, and hurriedly ordered the herald to convey the commander's order with flags and signals.

Dozens of warships began to unfold according to the command of the flag, gradually widening the distance, the small boat in front, closer to the river bank, while the big ship was pulled away in a straight line, the gun jacket of the fire dragon cannon had been opened, and the huge base of the magic car crossbow also began to be shaken, and the crossbow mouth was aimed at the river bank.

The sailors took their positions, and the gunners carefully lifted the dragon cannons out of the magazine.

This is also the first high-level alert after the Shouzhou Navy was subsumed into the Huaiyou Water Army, and it may also be the first engagement.

Also for these naval officers, it was also their first battle to engage the enemy with new sailing techniques and new equipment and weapons.

For them, this battle will also be remembered in the annals of history, and it will also allow them to establish a place in the eyes of their new lord, depending on their performance today.

This tension was even involuntarily transmitted to Mei Quan, it was obvious that Huaiyou did not look down on the Shouzhou infantry army, and the only thing in the Shouzhou army that Jiang Feng could pay attention to was the navy, and after investing so much, how this naval army would behave is worth exploring.

There is no room for loss in this battle, and it can even be said that the unfavorable situation of friendly forces may be the best time for the naval army to perform.

Just when Mei Guo ordered to prepare for the unexpected, Zhao Wenshan and the others had already encountered an unexpected.

The Caizhou cavalry came so fast that even if Zhao Wenshan got the scout alarm, it was still a little too late.

That piece of fire only bought Zhao Wenshan and them a few moments, and the well-trained Caizhou cavalry, led by Yuan Wuxing and Yuan Wenliang, bypassed the fire and wetlands with great efficiency.

It's just a few miles, and it's nothing for the cavalry who are already ready to enter the sprint.

For Zhao Wenshan, it is a little difficult to adjust a mixed army of thousands of horses to a state of response, especially when it is about to arrive at the destination and join the naval fleet.

It would have been better if they had been in a state of tension, but when everyone thought that the high ground could be seen and that they would be able to join the navy in half an hour, some of the exhausted wounded and sick were already expecting to get on the ship and get rest.

It's not so easy to get this state of relaxation back in a state of exhaustion that makes them nervous, or even face a life-and-death struggle.
