After the order was given, Kagura took two squads of a full hundred cavalry, rode their horses and whipped away.

Looking at the departing Kagura, Uesugi Chihiro sneered, "A narrow-minded and stingy guy who actually bothered me for such a trivial matter!" Hmph, since I'm afraid that I will rob the military merits, then I wish you to meet the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible! I believe that with the strength of your two squads, you should be able to kill them all against the poor Eighth Route Army. Hehe, if that's the case, your rank of Zhongzuo is estimated to be able to move! ”

"Young master, do you mean that there may be an ambush by the Eighth Route Army on this road?" Masao Hirano, the adjutant of the retainers, leaned over to Uesugi and asked in a whisper.

"Did I say that?" Uesugi said casually as he stared ahead, but his tone and demeanor were clearly sure that Kagura would be ambushed this time, but he didn't want to mention it again, and he just complained casually.

As a retainer and having followed Uesugi Chihiro for many years, Hirano Masao could naturally see what Uesugi Chihiro meant, so he diverted the topic and asked, "What about our training?" ”

"Humph!" Uesugi snorted coldly and urged the war horse under his crotch, "Why don't you train, this is a military order!" We have a few heads to disobey! ”

On the seventh and eighth quarters of the first month, the half-round full moon faces west, and today is the ninth day of the first month, the gibbous moon is gradually rising, the moonlight is very bright, and the wind is northwest.

The roads of this period are not wide, if you judge according to the standard vertebrae of later generations, that is, the country road, the kind of two-lane road that is seven or eight meters wide, but even this kind of road needs a lot of financial and material resources, and basically every meter of these roads is soaked with the blood of the Chinese people.

One hundred and one war horses maintained a posture of four horses in parallel, galloping on the road leading to Linxian, and the speed was very fast. The horse's hooves make a "snap, snap" sound on the hardened pavement, which is urgent and powerful! Like thunder, all kinds of small animals on the side of the road scattered and fled, and Kagura Goro took the lead, leading two squads like a stout giant snake to squirm quickly on the road under the night.

The war horse of the Kagura squadron is the river meander, the origin of the upper reaches of the Yellow River is 132 ~ 139 cm high, the weight is 350 ~ 450 kg, in China is a high-headed horse, this kind of horse has a strong weight-bearing capacity, runs fast, and has a strong impact ability, but the endurance is slightly insufficient, and it can generally travel hundreds of miles a day.

Qingyuan Town is more than forty miles away from Linxian, that is, more than twenty kilometers, and it can't consume too much physical strength, so when it comes out of the station, Kagura is not stingy with horsepower, and begins to accelerate, and begins to accelerate in the direction of Linxian.

The horse ran forward again, and a hill appeared in front of him.

The way down the hill is the only way to go!

As an experienced commander, he could see at a glance that the hill ahead could ambush the enemy, so he first made a slow down gesture, so the team that was rushing suddenly paused slightly, and then the speed of the march also slowed down.

Immediately afterwards, he made a series of scattered and vigilant gestures.

The originally neat and tight team of horses immediately became loose after receiving the order.

At the same time, a pair of green eyes quickly approached in the bushes on the side of the road and followed.

It's a wolf!

And it wasn't just one, they were scattered scattered on both sides of the road, silently biting the marching horse team.

As if sensing the wolves, Kagura's seated horse felt uneasy, snorted, and passed the uneasiness to its owner.

However, its owner did not understand its uneasiness, and only thought that it was a little tired.

As the hill got closer, Kagura waved his hand again, beckoning the two light riders to clear the way as scouts.

"Hey!" The light horse scout nodded slightly, and immediately urged the war horse to speed up and rush out.

The vanguard, not only the infantry, but also the cavalry, and now these two light cavalry are the vanguard of the Kagura squadron, and their task at the moment is to lie down the mines and see if there is a trap against the cavalry ahead.

They did not carry heavy weapons, but only basic sabers and pistols for self-defense, and after acceleration, the speed of the war horse reached thirty!

In the darkness of the night, the two light horsemen broke away from the horse team and galloped along the road, and when they had reached some distance, Kagura also gave the order to speed up in line with their speed.

However, this order was not carried out quickly, because most of the horses in the horse team were disturbed by the approach of the wolves, and if it were not for the strict training they had received, they would not even be able to maintain their basic formation at this moment.

Kagura's horse shook its head and tried to flee the dangerous area as fast as possible, but Kagura comforted it with his great horsemanship and kept it from accelerating, because he had to keep a safe distance of 200 meters from the scout rider in front of him, so that he could react quickly if there was danger ahead.

There are more and more wolves gathering on both sides of the road!

The danger was also becoming more and more intense on the horses, especially the two light horse scouts running in front.

At this moment, their war horses were already uncontrollable, and they accelerated forward again.

The two scouts sitting on top of them immediately changed their faces.

Because, as the saying goes, this is a surprise!

The acceleration ability of the river horses is very good, at this moment, they have already exerted their ability to the limit, if there is a speedometer next to it, it will definitely clearly display a number of fifty!

The moonlight was hazy, and the two light horses paused slightly, and then the two heads flew into the air one after another.

The headless cavalry still sat on horseback, blood spurting from their necks that infected the land like a fountain.

The darkness of the night has covered up the truth that the two light horsemen were beheaded!

In Kagura's opinion, all this happened too suddenly, and it was weird!

And as a high-ranking commander, he has experienced quite a few battles, so he immediately judged that there might be a trap ahead!

So, he immediately ordered the horse team to stop advancing!

However, danger still lingered around, and this time not only the war horses, but even the devil cavalry on the horses could vaguely feel the smell of danger around them.

Kagura, who had stopped his march, sat on horseback, quickly looked around, and then pulled out his pistol and fired several shots at a pair of green eyes on the side.

"Whew~" After a tragic scream, the green eyes disappeared into the darkness, and I don't know if I was dead or escaped!

The aura around him became more and more strange, and Kagura already knew at this moment that he had been ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

"Yaga!" After he cursed in a low voice, he shouted in stiff Chinese to the side hill, "Eight roads, come out." ”

It's another year of college entrance examination, and I wish Qianqian's students all right.
