Chapter 416: Run
Two cavalry detachments set out from Guzang.
Under the clear blue sky of May, the green grass is boundless.
Each cavalryman had to manage three horses, which was not a simple matter, and the requirements for equestrianism were extremely high.
If you can't ride a horse in Liangzhou, you can't be considered a man.
Liu Hengzhi rushed to the front proudly, "The general gave such an important battle to a certain one, we can't let the general down!" ”
"Haha, what the captain said is very true, if you want me to say, the general is the reborn parents of our Qiang people, without the general, I don't have clothes to cover my body and eat hungry, more than twenty, I can't even ask for a girl!" Captain Yang Poyu responded with a smile.
This remark immediately aroused the approval of several other Qiang generals and generals.
The current Qiang people are no longer the Qiang people of the past.
They live in an attic apartment, tie their hair to the right, speak a pure Xiping dialect, have nothing to do, and make a pot of tea to listen to the latest commentary of the Xuanyi Division.
Sometimes he laughed at Wei Qinghuo's illness and swept the Huns, and sometimes he sighed for Li Guang.
Although sometimes he mentions his identity as a Qiang person, he has been highly sinicized psychologically and spiritually.
The name Yang Poyu is plagiarized from the Han general Zhao Poyu at first glance, and as for the surname, it directly follows Yang Zheng.
Every time he recalls the life of the tribe six or seven years ago, he has a feeling of dreaming, turning from a manu to a lieutenant who is envied by everyone in Hehuang.
"I don't need to say much this time, follow a certain and do a great job! When you go back, you can glorify your ancestors! Liu Heng said with confidence.
Unexpectedly, Pang Qing next to him cast a suspicious look, "The general said that he does not seek to conquer the city, but only to attack and harass and rescue the people." ”
Liu Heng smiled slyly, "Hehe, don't you know what the general means?" You can rest assured. ”
The more he said this, the more bottomless Pang Qing's heart became.
As the two spoke, another cavalry whizzed by.
The past is in the past, and a few people turned their heads and made a grimace at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng was furious on the spot, "Damn, Ma Xun is trying to steal our limelight, brothers, catch up with me!" ”
"Order!"
What kind of general can bring out what kind of soldiers, the surrounding soldiers shouted together, drew the reins, and the war horses neighed and galloped forward.
The two cavalry chased after me in the grassland, from Guzang to Beidi County, from Beidi County to Shuofang, and from Shuofang to Jiuyuan.
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
Chase during the day and chase at night.
Eat, drink, and sleep all on horseback.
The fighting spirit of the soldiers is getting stronger and stronger, but the war horses can't bear it.
I had to take a temporary break in Kuhara County to regain my horsepower.
"Captain Ma is also his own person, why do you want to compete with him?" Pang Qingtie said with a blushing face.
After all, he has been sorting out literary affairs by Yang Zheng's side all the year round, and he is a little overwhelmed by his neglect of training.
"What do you know, we are the general's pro-army, pro-army! Let Ma Xun's gang suppress it, wouldn't it be a shame for the general? Do you say yes or no? Liu Heng's eyes widened and he said very seriously.
"Yes!" The soldiers yelled along.
"Isn't Ma Xun also the general's pro-army?" Pang Qing reminded.
"Can this be the same? He's a savage outsider, and we're descendants! Liu Heng's eyes widened and widened.
Pang Qing shook his head, knowing that he couldn't compete with this reckless man.
"Oh no, no!" A pro-soldier stumbled in.
"What's the alarm? Isn't it the Xianbei people, the Huns, who came to rob the camp? ”
"Captain Ma's cavalry has already set off."
"What, why so fast?" Liu Heng looked at the war horse on his side, and was still leisurely gnawing on the grass.
Some of the pack horses were lying on the ground, looking weak.
Three hours is not enough for them to fully recover.
"Could it be that if he follows the surname of the horse, the strength of the horse group is greater?" Liu Heng unfolded his brain.
Pang Qing sighed: "The Ma family has been herding horses in Gaochang all the year round, and he is proficient in the art of raising horses, so he naturally has something unique, otherwise the general will not regard him as a general." ”
"How's that okay?" Liu Heng said with a glare.
Ordinary river horses, a long-distance run of ten days, almost two or three days of recuperation.
This way galloped, and it took seven days to reach Jiuyuan, although the speed was fast, the horses couldn't bear it.
"Captain, I have a way to recover horsepower quickly." Yang Poyu said suddenly.
"Say it quickly." Liu Heng was in a hurry.
"The war horse must be fed with salt before it has the strength, and Captain Ma must feed the fried noodles mixed with salt to the horse to eat, so that he can recover so quickly."
Cattle, sheep, horses, and llamas in the northwest like to eat salt.
Only eat grass, and the war horse will not get fat.
It's the same as people, if you don't eat salt, you don't have strength.
"In this case, isn't there a shortage of food and grass?" Pang Qing objected.
"Feed the fried noodles and salt to the horses! When you get to the Sima family's territory, are you still afraid that there will be no food? Liu Heng didn't say a word of nonsense, he was the commander of this cavalry, so naturally he gave orders, and Pang Qing's words were automatically ignored.
The soldiers of the guard battalion had already formed the habit of ordering and prohibiting it, and without saying a word, they moved down the fried noodles one after another to feed the war horses.
When the horses had eaten enough, they were distributed to the pack horses.
I have to say that the effect was immediate, and after an hour, the spirit of the war horse recovered a lot.
But Ma Xun's cavalry was gone.
It's getting dark, too.
"The soldiers and horses are tired, why don't you rest for the night and march tomorrow? Haste makes waste. Pang Qing persuaded again.
Liu Heng waved his hand, "I only know that the soldiers are fast, it's too late, and the meat is eaten by others!" ”
Xuanyilang must not interfere with the decision of the commander-in-chief, which is one of the decrees of the Xuanyi Division.
No matter how right Pang Qing is, it will not help.
I could only take out a small book and a short pen from my arms by the bright moonlight, and made a note for Liu Heng.
Opposite Jiuyuan County is the Yunzhong County of the year, which has long been abandoned and reduced to the pasture of the Xianbei and Xiongnu people.
A bright moon hangs high, and the sound of the desolate wind on all sides.
Under the bright moon, a city is quietly bathed in moonlight.
"The city in the clouds in front is occupied by the Xianbei people, with 7,000 Hanyi riders and more than 20,000 people in the city." The scouts had already figured it out.
Two thousand five hundred horsemen facing a city guarded by seven thousand men sounds a little weak.
But it is others who are weak-hearted, not Liu Heng.
"The whole army dismounts and attacks this city at night with a certain one! Be blessed, and the war horse will take care of you. Along the way, this is the first time Liu Heng has officially called Pang Qing.
"You're going to fight Cloudsdale?" Pang Qing was not surprised at all, this was too much in line with Liu Heng's character.
"There are cavalry in the city, let's go and rob the state, and when we turn back, what should we do if they come to rob us? I don't know what the art of war is, but I know that this city cannot be left behind, and I can continue to the south after taking the grain and horses of this city. At this moment, Liu Heng only had murderous intent on his face.
"Our army can bypass Yanmen County, and there is no need to take this road."
Liu Heng shook his head, "Ma Xun must have gone to Yanmen, follow his ass, you are not ashamed, I can't stand that bird's anger, the people who came out of our Qingying camp have to fight for the general more!" ”
The last sentence completely moved Pang Qing.
With Liu Heng's character, there is no need to explain so much, since he has explained, he sees Pang Qing as his own person.
"I have a plan to help you achieve great things!" Pang Qing has been by Yang Zheng's side for many years, and he has been exposed to the conspiracy of Du Qianwei and others every day, and he doesn't know how much he has written down in the small book, so he naturally has some experience.
