The peach blossoms on the human face are red
On the horizon, the morning light was already faintly visible, Zheng Fan and the others also saw the shadow of the flint fort group in front, and the next step, as long as they passed through the flint fort in front, they would return to the territory of Yan Kingdom.
It's just a day and night of running, even if it is one person and two horses, it has reached the point where people are sleepy and tired, under Liang Cheng's suggestion, for the sake of safety, let everyone stop and rest by a stream beach, let people take a few breaths, let the war horses take a few breaths, and at the same time, the sentry cavalry was sent out to investigate the situation.
On the edge of the stream, Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to the wound on Liang Cheng's abdomen, and said:
"Do you want me to help you get the tip of the gun out?"
Liang Cheng shook his head and said, "Let's take it when I go back, if I take it now, it will easily affect myself." ”
"Hmm."
Zheng Fan knew that Liang Cheng was still extremely vigilant at this time.
Originally, the biggest reliance of himself and others, the night, has left everyone, and the light will rule the land again.
Although the border troops of Qianguo at least saw all the way were wasted, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and it was almost a foot away from returning home, so you should be careful.
Everyone rested by the river beach for more than an hour, and only after the sentry horses released came back one by one to report that there was nothing wrong ahead, Liang Cheng ordered everyone to put on their armor and get on their horses again.
In Zheng Fan's opinion, the next step is to rush directly through the Suibao District and return to Yanguo and Cuiliubao.
But when everyone was ready, Liang Cheng raised his hand and shouted in brute language:
"To the east!"
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment, not to the north?
In the north, it is the Yan State, and to the east, it is equivalent to a parallel military parade along the first line of the Qianguo Flint.
The brutes were also a little surprised, but the good training quality still made them obey the order, and the horsemen began to turn their horses' heads, and on the basis of maintaining their formation, began to gallop eastward.
When riding the horse, Zheng Fan glanced at Liang Cheng beside him, but he didn't ask anything, and Liang Cheng didn't say anything, but when everyone was galloping east for less than a quarter of an hour, a chasing cavalry actually appeared behind!
This is the cavalry of the Qianguo!
The number is unknown, but when you glance at it from a distance, it is estimated that it must be much larger than the number of people in your own house.
Calculating the distance and direction and time, it is likely that these cavalry were in ambush in the midst of the bunkers that their men had intended to charge out of!
Perhaps it was because he found that his side was slipping eastward, and the other party's defense was not completed, so he had to rush out of the flint and pursue it.
Two cavalry teams, on this plain, launched a chase drama.
At this time, it reflects the importance of resting before, people are actually okay, the barbarians under Zheng Fan are from the prisoner tribe, and there is no problem if you let them run for three days and three nights, this is the talent of the barbarians.
But if the war horse under the crotch does not get enough rest, it will pick up its hooves.
Because they got rest, during the pursuit, everyone was able to change horses, so that the second horse carried the other horse to the side and rested empty.
Somewhat like an air tanker, the skillful equestrian skills allow the brutes under Zheng Fan's command to switch easily and flexibly while marching quickly.
And the Qianguo cavalry team obviously did not have this kind of resources, nor did they have this kind of equestrian advantage, so they were gradually distanced by Zheng Fan's side.
The pursuit lasted for about two hours, and in half a morning, Zheng Fan and the others finally threw off the Qianguo cavalry behind them.
"Rest!"
Liang Cheng gave the order to rest again, on the one hand, the physical fitness of the people and the war horses is similar to the gasoline of the armored troops in later generations, and it is impossible to squeeze it out in one go.
On the other hand, now in the territory of Qianguo, if you are blind and run blindly, God knows which pimple and others will run to.
When he got off the horse, Zheng Fan only felt that his inner thighs were hot and painful, his equestrian skills had actually improved a lot during this time, but this kind of long-distance and high-intensity running was the first time, and the physical aspect was okay, that is, the soft flesh on the inner thighs, because he had not been able to grind out thick calluses, so it still looked a little pretentious.
A brute soldier took the initiative to take Zheng Fan's horse to feed and take care of it, Zheng Fan nodded and smiled at the brute, the brute was startled, and hurriedly held his hands and bowed to Zheng Fan several times.
Zheng Fan took out two handfuls of fried noodles from his pocket and began to stuff them in his mouth.
This kind of fried noodles is not the kind of fried noodles of later generations, it is pure fried "flour", and the taste is just like that, after eating anything even after a few meals, you will feel average.
"Lord." Liang Cheng saw Zheng Fan walking towards him while eating fried noodles, and immediately took the initiative to speak: "Previously, the subordinates asked the sentry to go to the front of the Suibao to find out the situation, in fact, they were actively exposed to the vision of the Suibao, unless that piece of the Suibao is all like the chicken fort we touched when we came in, otherwise it will definitely alarm the soldiers in the Suibao." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded, understood, and said:
"It's because there's no wolf smoke, right?"
"Yes, Lord, it's nothing to have wolf smoke and grass and snakes, we probably already know the situation in the flints, the number of soldiers is insufficient, the soldiers are not well trained, and it is almost impossible to rely on those flints to quickly draw strength to stop us.
And the cadres in other places nearby wanted to move to support after seeing the wolf smoke, but they were beyond the reach of the whip.
Therefore, we can rush back to Yan Country in a very chic manner with wolf smoke, but there is no wolf smoke at all, so that our subordinates can conclude that there should be a problem ahead. ”
"Learned." Zheng Fan nodded.
Let professional people do professional things to avoid jokes, Zheng Fan felt that if he really led the team, he might have been surrounded by the Qianguo cavalry under the Suibao by now.
The anti-pornography operation of the Cuiliubao Police Station will also "collapse in the middle of the road"......
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Fan smiled again: "It seems that the Qianguo side is not all rice buckets. ”
"Lord, after all, we have captured a city, but the other party's generals can react so quickly, and even directly predicted our route back and arranged an ambush in advance, proving that it is indeed of a standard."
"After all, in such a big country, if it's all wine bags and rice bags, it's not realistic, so what should we do next?"
Before, it was usually Liang Cheng who asked Zheng Fan this question.
But now it is Zheng Fan's turn to ask professionals for advice, reality is not a game, and there is no chance of a coin restart.
"Lord, after half an hour's rest, let's go around the south side and go back from the previous opening."
"It's called a surprise, isn't it?"
"We have a small number of people, which is our disadvantage, but it is also our strength. In fact, if we could leave behind the bodies of the dead brutes and the wounded brutes, we would be faster. ”
When Zheng Fan heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's not that yet, our war horses are actually enough, and the corpses and the wounded can also maintain morale." ”
"The Lord is wise."
In fact, Liang Cheng just made a suggestion, and it was up to Zheng Fan whether to adopt it or not.
Zheng Fan whispered again:
"Even if you want to drop the wounds, you have to wait for those injuries to come up on their own initiative, so as not to delay everyone's speed, they willingly stay and block the break.
It's better to put a knife on your neck again, and if we don't leave, they will kill themselves.
Then I touched some more tears, turned back three times at a time, and then we walked again. ”
"............" Liang Cheng.
"Actually, I don't want that time."
"I don't want to, in fact, I was a little bit of a problem with them at first, and after fighting together and rushing through the front, I suddenly felt that my previous understanding was a little too one-sided."
At this moment, a brute came over on horseback, dismounted, saluted Zheng Fan, and reported:
"Master, a team of horses has appeared five miles to the northeast."
"Horse team? Is it the team of the comptoir? ”
The first line of the border of Qianguo, in fact, is not very populous, probably because a hundred years ago, the first Zhenbei Marquis led the iron cavalry to set foot on the three counties on the border of Qianguo, and made a "ten rooms and nine emptiness".
Later, Qianguo simply built the northern land as the front line of the war, and did not immigrate to this side, saving the first and cheapening the Yan country.
Therefore, in the north of Qianguo, they are basically military households, a bit similar to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
However, because of the Silk Road, caravans began to come and go frequently in recent years.
"Returning to the master, it is not like a caravan, the carriage in the team seems to be transporting nobles."
When Zheng Fan heard this, he looked at Liang Cheng and said:
"Shall we take a look?"
Liang Cheng looked at the sentry and asked:
"How many people are there in the multi-party?"
"There are no more than 100 guards."
Liang Cheng nodded and said to Zheng Fan:
"Lord, take your mind."
…………
"Mother, dad is really, let our mother and daughter pack up their things and go back to their hometown before dawn in the morning, everyone is sleepy."
In the carriage, a sixteen-year-old girl complained to a graceful lady in her early thirties.
"You, you, you're not young, and you're at the age when you should leave the cabinet, why are you still so ignorant, it's your father who received an urgent report, saying that something seems to have happened in Mianzhou City in the west, and your father is worried that the war will start, so send our mother and daughter back to keep us safe."
"Going to war? Is it a fight with the swallows? ”
When the woman heard this, she frowned slightly, and said:
"I hope not."
But Qianguo is in the north, besides the Yan people, which opponent is there?
It's impossible for the barbarians to cross the entire Yan country and kill the Qianguo to loot, right?
"Mother, then let's go now, will it ......" The girl's heart was still scared when she heard that there was going to be a war.
"Silly girl, Mianzhou City is far away from us, something happened over there, and it won't affect us for a while, but you, the female celebrity has to pick it up well, so you don't have to gossip about it when you enter other people's doors, and then your father and I will have to be laughed at by our in-laws and won't teach children."
"Mother, my daughter won't get married, that guy from the Situ family, my daughter saw her last year, she was sick, and she was only wearing a thin shirt while coughing up blood in the winter, isn't there something wrong with her head?"
The woman sighed, and said helplessly:
"That's the atmosphere in Beijing."
Shangjing literati, even in winter, like white shirts fluttering, with runny noses and fans fanning.
"Mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry her, and my daughter can't crush him to death when the time comes."
"You...... You are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and you are babbling nonsense, who is talking to you about these things, who is it! ”
"Mother, it's me who peeks at you and daddy at night............"
"............" woman.
The woman's face immediately flushed.
"My mother's voice is so loud, it's hard for my daughter to ...... if she doesn't want to notice."
"Say no more!"
The woman couldn't stand it anymore, and stretched out her hand to open the curtain of the carriage, so that some cool breeze could let in and dissipate the dryness on her face.
There's no way, you can't order people to strangle your home-taught daughter!
"Mother, you can't eat by yourself, just don't care about your daughter's ............"
"Mother, please, don't say it."
"Mother, my daughter really doesn't want to marry that kid from the Situ family, and my daughter also wants to be like my mother, to find a man who fights like her father, and I really don't like those literati when I am a daughter."
When it comes to their own criteria for choosing a mate,
The girl also cast her eyes out of the carriage a little shyly,
Some surprises:
"Oh, mother, my daughter wants to find that kind of husband!"
In the distance outside the window,
It happened to be Liang Cheng who was galloping wildly!
"What?"
The woman looked out of the carriage window with some curiosity.
But at this moment,
An exclamation suddenly erupted from the surrounding guards:
"Enemy Attack !!"
