The wind is not blowing in the winter wasteland, and the wind may not be very strong, but it pierces into the depths of the cotton clothes like a fine comb, combing away the temperature of the human body. Mo Shanshan was still wearing that thin white dress, and the blue belt around her waist was like a deep lake, which formed a strong contrast with her straight and diffuse eyes.

Her inky eyebrows slowly raised, looked at Ning Que and asked, "You killed their general, aren't you worried that these Yan Cavalry will hate you, don't contribute to the battle, and even surrender directly to the horse thieves?"

"Cultivating cronies in the army will inevitably damage the interests of the lower-level soldiers, so the relationship between the dead general and these cavalrymen will not be too good, especially since they are the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom. I'm from the Tang Dynasty and I know this very well......"

Ning Que carefully confirmed with his fingers whether the straw rope attached between the handles of the three Pu knives was strong, and replied with his head down: "Just now I killed that Yan general and restrained those officers, the two hundred Yan cavalry were indeed angry, but not sad and angry, that is to say, they were not sad, and this and anger were more derived from fear and uneasiness. ”

Mo Shanshan looked at the hat that covered most of his face and said, "They're afraid of you...... Fear can make people want to stay away, and perhaps for this reason, they may surrender to horse thieves. ”

"As a soldier, even if it is a weak Yan ** person, it is a very difficult decision to surrender to the horse thief, but all this kind of decision requires thinking, and thinking needs to relax the psychological environment:"

Ning Que raised his head, looked at the horse thieves who were still patrolling the wilderness but had not launched an attack for a long time, and said: "The situation is too tense now, and arrows may fall on their heads at any time Those Yan cavalry have no time and environment to think, they are now like a group of wild horses that have lost their head horses and are at a loss, as long as a horse goes out, they will subconsciously blindly follow, and what I want is their blind obedience."

Mo Shanshan looked at his side face and said, "Have you ever been in the army?"

Ning Xiao nodded.

Mo Shanshan stroked his cheeks and hair, and said after a moment of silence: "With you, I can indeed learn a lot." ”

Ning Que looked at her and smiled, and said: "You're welcome, and what you can learn from me is actually not a good thing, if it is possible, I hope that I will never have the opportunity to learn these in my life." ”

Having lost the trough army that is usually powerful and high-minded and those officers who only know how to pat on the back and grab the first rank of military merit, the two hundred Yan cavalry are indeed not very sad, but only a little angry, and it is precisely because of the loss of these leaders that their anger quickly turned into confusion as Ning Que expected, and finally quietly obeyed.

Any army that can fight well must have its own unique temperament, but it is a pity that the Yan army obviously has no temperament, if it is replaced by any Tang army, Xiang Cai will definitely not obey the other party's command so obediently and honestly after the general is killed.

Ning Que was very satisfied with Yan Jun's unique temperament without temperament.

He did not appear in front of the curtain to personally command, but through the carriage where Guò Moshan Mountain was located, he passed on the orders one after another, and the four disciples of Mochiyuan such as Zhihua temporarily took the place of those Yan army officers, rectified the order of the camp, took back the sentry horses, and strengthened the defense, all the orders were carried out as quickly as possible, and everyone, including Yan Cai, did not complain, and the order and atmosphere were even better than in previous days.

The grain team re-embarked on its journey north, and more than 600 horse thieves followed. According to the order of the passenger at the carriage office, the whole pound ...... The speed of the grain delivery team was precisely controlled within a certain range, and it kept changing, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, although to the Yan rider and the people who drove the grain cart, this was undoubtedly a and torture with the change in speed, but they still insisted on the lower harvest, and caused some trouble to those horse thieves to a greater or lesser extent.

The most dangerous twilight was spent between the silent pursuits, and the grain team dragged into a long line, wearily into a rare low-lying area among the wasteland, when the sky was dark and the light was blurred.

The so-called low-lying area is because the meadows on the left and right sides are raised and stretched, and there is no end in sight in the dim sight, as if it is a mountain valley in the south, but the terrain is slightly gentler and not so steep.

The dozens of Yan cavalry leading the way in front couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they heard the whistle from behind, because the whistle indicated that the grain team had decided to camp here: anyone with some military common sense would not choose to camp here and at a low place. The lowlands were flanked by meadows, and if the hundreds of horse thieves took advantage of the terrain and were drawn into a long line of grain, the fragile defenses would be broken through in a very short time, which was very dangerous.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage passed the latest order, and the grain wagons were assembled in formation, and the carriage plates were folded off to make a large shield, but the people were not allowed to dig the pits, nor did they set up tripping ropes in the dark areas on both sides, giving the impression that the people in the carriage had abandoned their defenses and were waiting in vain for the horse thieves to attack.

The last twilight sè struck from the sky, reflecting the blood red of the dying struggle, and the low-lying ground where the grain team camped was already dim, and it was vaguely visible that people were hastily disassembling the carriage boards, and the smoke of the cooking was rising.

Suddenly, the smoke of the cooking stove that had risen to a high level suddenly tightened, as if it was frozen by the cold air, and the people who were busy looked up at the meadows on the left and right, their bodies suddenly stiffened, and there was silence.

Hundreds of horse thieves are now on the meadow more than 100 zhang away, this is the closest time that the horse thief and the grain pair have come this morning, the black pressure horse thief control reins stand indifferently above, under the reflection of the setting sun, it seems to be a dense mountain forest, is burning fiercely, giving people a sense of extremely violent coercion Ning Que lifted his hat a few points, looking at the group of horse thieves on the meadow, his brows slowly frowned: he noticed that today's horse thieves have become more disciplined and silent, and none of the horse thieves have provoked and intimidated: he noticed that there are more than ten more horses at the front of the horse thief group。

The reason why there are more than ten horses is because he confirms that these days, these more than ten horse thieves with méng faces have not appeared in his field of vision, that is to say, these more than ten horse thieves arrived in the state today, and the alarming changes in the horse thieves team are precisely because of the arrival of these horse thieves: "Even if they are not representatives of the forces behind them, these more than ten horses should be the ones in charge." Ning Que looked at the horse thieves who were pointing at the camp with horsewhips in hand, looked at the pieces of cloth on their faces, and whispered: "If you have the opportunity, find a way to kill these more than ten horsemen, maybe you can break the siege:"

Mo Shanshan stood beside him, looked at it indifferently, and said, "You once said that the target of these horse thieves is not grain and grass, and killing people will not have any effect. ”

"A horse thief is a horse thief, a horse thief who is raised by people is still a horse thief, they are more afraid of death than anyone else, and I believe that whether it is the royal court or the king of Yan who wants to raise so many horse thieves in the wasteland, they must also separate the Qiang ......"

Ning Que glanced at her and said, "That is to say, these horse thieves do not belong to each other, they just listen to the words of the leaders of the more than ten horse thieves who arrived in the state today, and kill these people, and the horse thieves will be warlike." ”

Immediately afterwards, he looked at her and added very seriously: "It's still the same sentence, you are the strongest person in the entire team, so until the last moment, you must not make a move, otherwise it will be a waste." ”

Mo Shanshan's eyes drooped slightly, his sparse and lengthened eyelashes were on his fair skin, reflecting the last twilight, very beautiful, his slightly bulging cheeks were very cute, but the silence of not speaking was very unbearable.

Ning Que ignored her anymore, unloaded the heavy package from the back of the big black horse, stuffed it into the carriage behind him, and said seriously: "The things in the package are very important to me, help me keep them." ”

Mo Shanshan raised his head, looked at him and said, "Your secret?"

The word blank said: "Not bad." ”

"You seem to have a lot of secrets. ”

"You also have quite a few. Ning Que said, Mo Shanshan's eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "Why don't you worry about the night attack of horse thieves all the way?"

Ning Que looked at her slightly squinted eyes, looked at the beautiful little wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but think of the leaves of a certain plant, which seemed to be a willow tree?

"The reason is very simple, because it is difficult to find the caravan's hidden belongings at night, and wait until daytime to collect and collect, and I am afraid that the border army will take the search and arrest after seeing the warning. Moreover, a night attack will reduce their riding and archery skills, and the sharpest means will be discounted, which is something that horse thieves can hardly afford, and it is rare for them to follow them for so many days. ”

Mo Shanshan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Since it is rare, then why can't they launch a rare night attack?"

Ning Que found that he was indeed easily defeated by this girl in white, and after a moment of silence, he said: "These are the truths that the ancestors of the horse thieves summed up with blood and death, and they will not deviate from it:"

"Maybe they can't think of turning away, because it's already an instinctive consciousness that has penetrated deep into their bones. Ning Que looked at her and said: "Just like when you write a talisman, you don't need to think about how to write that talisman at all, the ink pen in your hand will make a choice in advance before your thinking and wander on its own." ”

Mo Shanshan looked at him quietly and asked, "You also know the talisman?"

Ning Que smiled gently and replied, "I understand a little." ”

Maybe it's because the big war is coming, maybe it's because the twilight is too beautiful and the night is too close, at this time in his eyes, Mo Shanshan is going to become much more pleasing to the eye, although her gaze is still proud and indifferent, but he secretly thinks to himself, with her reputation and status in the world, it should be so.

Similarly, Mo Shanshan also feels that this year's light Tang people have become more pleasing to the eye.

On this night, Ning Que spent the night with the Yan cavalry behind those teams. He ordered the Yan riders to sleep with his mounts, and were not allowed to remove their armor, and Zi Si also put on a light armor of the Yan army.

"Reinforcements are already on the way, as long as we hold out until mid-heaven, we will win. ”

Beside the fire, he looked at the Yan cavalry with confused expressions and even a little numbness, and said seriously.

The expressions of the Yan riders finally changed, and something called hope began to appear in their eyes.

Ning Que didn't know if there would be reinforcements, he only knew that tomorrow morning, those horse thieves would definitely attack, and if the situation was not right, he would not hesitate to flee on a big black horse: just don't forget to bring the package, well, you should also bring the lynx girl, and the ...... Moshan Mountain should also be carried...... It seems like there are too many things and people to bring. @。
