I'm Liu Bei.

"Captain, where are we going to retreat now?" Meng Shouli asked.

"We don't retreat. This is a strategic offensive! I said firmly. From now on, I will unswervingly implement Tian Feng's strategy. Smash into the rear of the rebels and give them a salary!

Hearing me say attack, there was a shout from the knights. I noticed that their faces were full of excitement, as if their long-suppressed depression had been vented.

Tiger and Monkey each picked four knights to report back.

"Huzi, you go and investigate carefully, is there any road that can allow our army to cross the blockade of the rebels in the shortest distance and the fastest time. If you can find a loophole in the blockade, no matter how far the road is, you must explore it clearly. ”

"Monkey, you go and investigate the rebel blockade, see where the defense is weakest, and find out the best place for our army to break through to the south."

The troops are divided into two routes, and they must find a breakthrough in the blockade line.

"Command!"

"No matter how long it takes, this captain will wait for you to come back!"

The two of them answered and led the team to ride away.

Looking at their backs flickering in the sun, I thought that the key to Tian Feng's strategy was to run long distances, and it was best to cross the blockade line and quietly penetrate into the enemy's rear without the rebels being discovered. This will give the rebels maximum panic and blows. Let them not even have a chance to make amends, and then ruthlessly sweep the fallen area of Yizhou. Disrupted the deployment of the rebels and forced Zhang Liang to abandon his plan to go north. Therefore, this long-distance attack must not be too short, at least more than 200 miles, to break into the territory of Yizhou, in order to ensure that it will not be interfered with by the rebels' return of reinforcements.

And these two hundred miles, for the cavalry, the fastest will take three days. Therefore, the amount of food brought by the cavalry is a very key factor.

"How many days of food did we bring?" I asked Meng Shouli.

"I brought a total of five days' worth of grain and grass. Pulled by a carriage and placed at the back of the formation. Meng Shouli replied.

"No, I can't. Bringing so much grain and grass will affect the speed of the march. Horses can eat grass, so they don't need to bring forage. How many days' rations can a knight bring per person? ”

"Four days at most. Too many horses to withstand long journeys. ”

"The order goes down. Each knight brought enough food rations for two days! The surplus is abandoned here, and the people will find it and take it away. "Without forage, the horses would not be able to do as much food as they pleased. So we have to try to keep the weight of the horses as low as possible. People don't have food rations, they can find another way.

"Yes!" Meng Shouli went down to give the order without asking the reason. None of the knights resisted such a military order. When I watched them wrap two days' rations around their waists in linen, my heart trembled inexplicably. I don't know how many people I can bring back here.

They put their lives in my hands so trustingly that their silent support is louder than words. I also went over to get two days' rations and wrapped them around my waist.

In the evening, the monkey led four horsemen back from the dust.

"The enemy forces are tightly sealed. More than 20 miles from the Juma River to the small Hengshan Mountain in the west were all sealed to death by the cavalry. I couldn't find the slightest breakthrough. However, there is a shortcut path in the mountains, and Huzi has already gone in to investigate. I believe there will be news soon. The monkey looked dejected as he spoke, tears rolling in his eyes.

"What's going on?" I asked him, confused.

The monkey didn't speak, twisting his head and staring into the distance. The sound of breathing is accompanied by a gentle choking! I noticed that the other four were all red-eyed, with sad and hateful faces.

"What's wrong? You said. "I ordered a scout.

The scout soldier knelt down as he spoke: "Li Sima and a dozen brothers were hanged in the ...... Hanging on the city wall~! ”

Ling Chi! That's a thousand cuts in life.

I was so frightened that I almost fell to the ground. "Brother Li!" I cried out in grief and fell to my knees. I never thought the rebels would be so cruel.

"Brothers, follow me to kill and avenge Brother Li." I jumped on my horse with an angry cry, but was pulled down by the monkey and Meng Shouli.

Meng Shouli's expression was extremely serious, and he knelt down and cried: "Captain! You can't be impulsive. ”

"Let it go!" I kicked him in the chest and knocked him on his back.

"Please think twice!" The monkey knelt down and cried.

"Death to those who stop me!" I blushed and roared, and pulled out the knife to his shoulder. There is only one thought in my heart: revenge! And immediately!

"Please think twice!" All the knights fell to their knees.

Tears were already rolling in my eyes. My mind was full of Li Hao's images.

Looking at the sunset, there are many black dots in my eyes. There are more and more black spots, and they gradually synthesize Li Hao's appearance. He seemed to be speaking. I seemed to hear sad singing again.

"The body is dead and the spirit is the spirit"

I turned to the sound and saw Meng Shouli singing sadly with the knights: "The soul of the son is a ghost male"

The words are complaining, and the words are sorrowful, which makes my heart ache.

These two sentences are sentences in Qu Yuan's "Death of the Nation", and they have been memorized by heart as early as the second year of high school.

"National Mourning" is a memorial song to the soldiers who died in battle to defend the country. The meaning of the last sentence is that even if a soldier dies in battle, he is still a hero among ghosts.

The tragic and powerful singing voice sounded again.

"Wu Gexi wearing rhino armor, and the car is wrong and short-handed.

……

Cheng is both brave and martial, and he is strong and invincible.

The body is dead, the god is the spirit, and the soul of the child is the ghost. ”

After singing the song, everyone stared at the direction of Yicheng, as if they were watching Li Hao and the others go away. In this way, the entire cavalry mourned silently for a long, long time.

I was physically and mentally exhausted, lying on the ground weakly, looking at the gray sky, and my heart was in turmoil.

"Captain!" The monkey ran over and said, "The tiger is back." ”

I jumped up with anticipation, and at the moment I was standing, my head was so dizzy that I couldn't stand firmly. Fortunately, the monkey held it in time. At this time, Huzi had already run over, with a sad look on his face. "Captain. The way has been found. It is in the hidden path of Xiaohengshan, where you can ride horses. ”

found it, and with such a bitter face, it seems that he already knows about Li Hao.

"Give the order, and the whole army will be drawn at once. Bypass enemy lines overnight. I gritted my teeth.

The sky was getting darker, the moon was hazy in the sky, and a cavalry army on the ground was hurrying like a giant python shuttling through the dense jungle.

****** ****** ******

In the middle of the night, the whole army took a temporary rest. The tiger pulled me through the layers of trees to a mountain. Looking at the foot of the eastern mountain, I saw a piece of starlight below.

"That's where the rebels' 100 cavalry were stationed. Captain, can we raid them? Send some offerings to Li Sima. ”

"No way!" I thought that this march must be hidden, so I did not agree.

"It is necessary to send some sacrifices." Thinking that Li Sima had died of humiliation, the killing intent in his heart suddenly rose higher than the sky.

Huzi heard that I had permission. Tears of excitement welled up in his eyes. At this time, there was a commotion around, and many black shadows rushed over.

I couldn't help but be surprised.

"Captain! We've heard what you've said, but don't go back. It was Meng Shouli who spoke, followed by the other military marquis of Siqu, as well as monkeys and others.
