Chapter 352 - Falling Count
Counting the time, Lin Yan has been in the Cangzhou Mansion military camp for a long time. In addition to serving the country with enthusiasm, the purpose of joining the army is to increase his strength through killing on the battlefield, so as to gain a different understanding!
Now that you're almost done, it's time to leave!
However, the barracks are no better than other places, not that you can come and leave if you want, Lin Yan has been thinking about finding a good time recently. At this moment, an order came to him to lead a team to attack and listen to the information of the barbarians.
The order came from Captain Wu Gao, although he was always a little wary of this person, and felt that the other party was not very real, but after all, the orders of the boss had to be obeyed. Moreover, the task of only investigating intelligence is indeed the duty of their cavalry.
"Okay, I got it!" Lin Yan replied to the soldiers who came to give the order, and then began to assemble the team to prepare.
This time it's just a scout mission, not a war, so you don't need to bring your whole team. Yes, Lin Yan just took Lao Zhong and his party to set off.
Of course, Monk Chen and Guo Toad will naturally not fall, their injuries have been cultivated, and they have almost recovered, in case of any unexpected situation, it can play a role in surprise.
After Lin Yan led the team away, Wu Yan looked at the direction they were leaving, and muttered to himself: "I don't know if we can see each other again after this time?" ”
Immediately, the corners of his mouth provoked a slightly weird arc, and he paced towards the camp with his hands in his hands, and said, "Those who know the times are Junjie!" ”
……
On the other side, after Lin Yan led the team out of the camp, he went all the way to the junction of the two countries. He did not go straight to the territory of Nanban, because then he would inevitably be discovered by the other party, but his whereabouts would be exposed, and the gains outweighed the losses.
You can despise your enemies strategically, but you can't despise your opponents tactically, because that will cost you too much to bear!
After Lin Yan led the team to search carefully along the border, they found nothing, there was no trace of barbarian invasion at all, and everything still seemed so normal.
That's weird! After all, in the order of Captain Wu Gao, the barbarians should have what kind of actions they should have, so they were sent out to investigate, but now it is calm, but it is not in line with the previous order.
"Is it because the barbarians are hiding too deeply?" Lin Yan just came up with this idea, but he was quickly extinguished by himself, because he led the team to search very carefully, if there is really something wrong, it shouldn't be missed!
"Team Zheng, will the place where you say something wrong be hidden in a deeper place, such as the territory of Nanban." The old clock on the side said.
Lao Zhong is not young, and in terms of seniority alone, he should be regarded as the oldest group of people! Not to mention that in this cavalry team, even in the entire Cangzhou Mansion, he is also a veteran with a lot of experience.
The so-called "people grow old and become fine, and soldiers become gods when they are old", and they can survive battles big and small, which is itself outstanding!
Lin Yan looked at him and said, "Old Zhong, what about your opinion?" ”
Lao Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "The border of the Southern Barbarians is not well guarded, most of them are some poor small tribes, and they are also some poor people who can't survive, and they are not very threatening. And our army has also reached some secret agreements with some of these tribes, and can get some news. ”
From Lao Zhong's words, Lin Yan also knew that the territory of Nanban was not monolithic, and it could also be penetrated.
In fact, it is very reasonable to think about it, even in the territory of Nanban, those who enjoy glory and wealth are nothing more than powerful people. These barbarians of the poor tribes have even been driven away to the border, living a precarious life all day long, and their living environment is extremely worrisome, so it is not difficult to understand that they have done something unfavorable to the southern barbarians in order to survive.
Lin Yan does not agree with the behavior of "betrayal", and is even extremely disgusted! Because today they can turn their backs on their companions for the sake of profit, then tomorrow they will not hesitate to betray you!
This kind of thing is simply unreasonable, because, for them, survival is the only reason!
However, from Lin Yan's point of view, he can't blame anything, after all, the existence of these people is beneficial to Tang Jun to a certain extent!
Moreover, it was first those in power who turned their backs on them, and they were forced to survive under the pressure of desperation.
Lin Yan thought about it, although he was a little wary of such things as obtaining information from the barbarian tribe, there was no better way to do it so far.
Don't look at Captain Wu Gao's smiling face, but if he returns empty-handed this time, maybe the right person will use this as a lever to deliberately make things difficult for him.
I don't know why, Lin Yan always feels that Wu Yan has an extraordinary attention to himself, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
"Maybe it's a delusion!" Lin Yan shook his head and threw out the excess emotions out of his head.
Then he glanced at Lao Zhong and said, "Do you have a way to connect?" ”
Old Zhong said: "Not far ahead, there is a small tribe, and the barbarians there have traded with us a few times in the past, and their subordinates should be able to contact us." ”
Lin Yan said: "Okay, Lao Zhong, you take a group of people to sneak in and listen to the information!" ”
Old Zhong said: "Yes! ”
Soon, he took the soldiers in disguise and set off! For them, this disguise is also a necessary means, which can save some unnecessary trouble, and at the same time, it will not easily reveal their whereabouts, which is very practical!
And Lin Yan and the others are waiting here, after all, the situation is unknown now, and it is very dangerous to rashly step into the territory of the enemy country!
I have to say that Lao Zhong's efficiency is still extremely high! Within half an hour, Lao Zhong brought the news back: "The barbarians are preparing to raise troops in a vain attempt to repeat the changes in Cangzhou Mansion!" ”
Hearing such news, even Lin Yan couldn't help but have a solemn face and a cold look in his eyes.
At that time, he was a witness to the changes in Cangzhou Mansion. Under the iron hooves of the barbarians, countless people of the Tang Kingdom were ruined, trampled and ravaged mercilessly, and even their former comrades fell under the attack of the barbarians.
If this happens again, it means that the same tragedy will happen again, and the consequences may be even worse!
Because, at this time, Cangzhou Mansion is not as good as before, and it has not fully recovered after experiencing the devastation of war, and if it starts a full-scale war with the barbarians again, it is still unknown what the chances of victory are!
"The stakes are high, and the news must be passed on as soon as possible!" Thinking so, Lin Yan quickly sent a few cavalrymen back to the camp to report the news.
This is also what Lin Yan learned from the previous battle of Cangzhou Mansion, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it is always right to be cautious. In order to prepare for various unexpected situations that may occur along the way, sending a few more people can ensure that the message can be conveyed accurately.
After arranging these, Lin Yan saw that Lao Zhong's expression was a little hesitant, so he asked, "Old Zhong, is there anything else?" ”
Lao Zhong said: "In addition, there is another piece of news, but I am not sure. ”
Lin Yan said: "You can talk about it." ”
Lao Zhong said: "I heard from the people in the tribe that a group of barbarian soldiers passed through this place recently, looking well-equipped and dressed differently from ordinary barbarian soldiers. However, this is all speculation, and it is still unclear what the specific situation will be. ”
Lin Yan pondered for a moment when he heard this, and thought: "Just now there is news that the barbarians are preparing to make a big move, it is that such an unusual group of soldiers has appeared here, and it is very likely that it is related to this matter. It seems that it is necessary to get in touch with it! ”
He looked at Lao Zhong and asked, "Do you know how many people there are in that team?" Where is it now? ”
Lao Zhong said: "According to the people in the tribe, there are about thirty of them, guarding a carriage, so the speed of travel is not fast, according to the distance of the foot, they should go here to a place about ten miles to the west." ”
Lin Yan thought about it when he heard this, with the speed of the cavalry team, it shouldn't be very difficult to catch up with them. Moreover, with the combat effectiveness of the cavalry team now, even if he only brought a group of cavalry, he still has some opportunities.
He had never been one to hesitate, and now that he had made a decision, he did not hesitate any longer, and quickly pursued his cavalry in the direction pointed out by the old bell.
With all their might, they soon found the trail of the team in front of them. Just like the information that Lao Zhong had obtained before, about thirty cavalrymen were guarding a carriage that looked extraordinarily luxurious, and the so-called big man should be riding on the carriage at this moment.
It's just that these people don't look like they're in a hurry, Shi Shiran, who doesn't know, thinks they're coming for a spring outing, and they're too leisurely and comfortable!
Lin Yan frowned slightly when he saw this, and the situation in front of him was unclear, so that he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he didn't know whether he should take the initiative to attack.
At the moment when he hesitated, the team in front of him seemed to have spotted them, and suddenly began to speed up, galloping towards the depths of the Southern Barbarian territory.
The old bell on the side said urgently: "Team Zheng, they have noticed us, once we go deep into the territory of Nanban, we will lose this opportunity." ”
Lin Yan was entangled in his heart at the moment: "To chase or not?" If you choose to pursue, once it is a trap, then your own people will be in danger, after all, the cavalry in front of you does not seem to be strong, and this is too much like a bait prepared for yourself and others! ”
"But once you give up the pursuit, you will lose the opportunity to explore this time, and maybe you will lose the opportunity in the upcoming war."
In the end, Lin Yan still waved his arm and commanded the cavalry team to pursue. Because he felt that his current realm and status were not worth the enemy's painstaking layout.
Moreover, his own action was also decided on an ad hoc basis, and he did not give the enemy time and opportunity to react, so it was worth taking the risk!
Lin Yan led the cavalry team to pursue at full speed, and soon caught up with the cavalry in front. After some fighting, they solved the other party very smoothly, so smoothly that Lin Yan wondered if these people were wooden stakes for practice, and they had no power to resist!
This is obviously not in line with the ferocious style of the barbarian cavalry, and Lin Yan's heart is also secretly vigilant!
"The people in the car, you have been surrounded, come out obediently!" The soldiers shouted several times in succession, but there was no response from the car.
A soldier lifted the curtain of the carriage, Lin Yan saw the scene inside, and immediately his face sank, there were stones inside, and there was no one at all!
"Hit the mark!" Lin Yan secretly said that it was not good, and when he turned around, he saw a dense array of enemy troops rushing out of the surroundings. At this moment, they are already surrounded by each other......
