The horse's hooves slowly trampled in the mountain stream and made a "da-da" sound, and the long procession winded on this mountain road full of gravel, Qin Ke looked back at the sky as hot as wildfire on the other side of the mountain, knowing that the fire had not been completely extinguished, but the big stone in his heart was getting heavier and heavier.

Maybe it's because the passing years are unfavorable, obviously Wang Xuanwei has just gathered more than 10,000 Mo family cavalry, and uniformly replaced them with the equipment of black horses, but before they can really feel the formation of all black armor sabers and crossbows swallowing thousands of miles like tigers, they encountered a setback.

"Are you saying that the Tang Army had expected that we would make a detour from Cangqing Ridge to attack Diancang?" Qin Ke frowned and turned his head to look at Abu, who was on a par with him.

"Diancang County is the third granary of the Tang Army, in which the grain and grass are second only to Liyang and Zhusha. To say that the Tang Army did not have the slightest defense, it must be a lie. In order not to let these unfounded news disturb the morale of the army, Abu deliberately lowered his voice, "But the problem is that we have traveled all the way from Cangqingling, which can be said to be unexpected, and the Tang army responded so methodically that it lasted for half an hour. And it was so coincidental that a Tang army of 20,000 people came to the rescue in time......"

"Mr. once said that some things, once too coincidental, will inevitably hide an artificial layout behind them. And according to the reports of the people below, they burned five granaries, and four of them saw only hay and no food...... Who's to say that there really is grain in the remaining dozens of granaries? Perhaps...... The Tang army had already transferred it away. ”

By the end, Abu's eyes had become meaningful.

"Isn't hay considered food?" Qin Ke shook his head, these days, he has been running around with Wang Xuanwei, and the shortage of materials has made him understand how important it is for cavalry to have enough hay, "The Tang army didn't bring too many cavalry this time, but I heard that their Xuanjia heavy cavalry is very powerful, although the heavy equipment is inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry, but the overall strength is not inferior to the black cavalry......"

"No matter how much the horse can eat, there is no reason to pile up so much hay. ”

In the sound of the loose stones, Abu's horse slipped and almost broke his horse's foot, but fortunately, Abu's horsemanship was good, and he forcibly reversed the horse's fall.

He scolded in a low voice, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and knew that he had been talking to Qin Ke for a while, but he had forgotten that they were walking on this rugged mountain road at this time.

The mountain road in Cangqingling is narrow, and it is not difficult for the infantry to walk up, but it is not easy to let the cavalry march in it, so Abu feels that the Tang army should not be aware of their surprise attack.

"What's more, the war horse of the Xuanjia heavy horse eats not only hay, but also brown rice, millet, and beans, if there is no such essence, how can the war horse carry the heavy armor into battle, I am afraid that before the charge starts, the horse will be tired first. ”

Qin Ke was a little confused when he heard it: "That...... Why can't they be stored separately? Maybe that's what the remaining grain depots are, maybe it's just bad luck. ”

"Also...... It's not impossible. Abu nodded slightly, but still looked worried, "But I always feel that this is not easy. ”

"Hmm. Qin Ke replied and said regretfully: "If you can pry that guy's mouth open, everything will be simple." ”

The "guy" he said naturally refers to Wang Xuanwei at the front of the queue, dressed in a black coat floating in the wind.

It's just that all the way, he sat on his horse and remained silent, and he didn't say a word other than to give orders.

Of course, this is his style, and there are plans about him, most of the time only he knows it in his own heart, not to mention outsiders like Qin Ke and Abu, even those generals directly under the Mo family, before the war, they were all black-eyed, and they didn't know what they should do next.

But even so, none of them would doubt Wang Xuanwei's ability, let alone lose trust in him, if the previous Guo Kai was replaced by Wang Xuanwei, then the cavalry under his command would not be able to rebel at all.

General Wang must have known this. Abu's thoughts were the same as Qin Ke's, but he just wanted to pry Wang Xuanwei's mouth open...... He burst out laughing, "Maybe you can try." ”

Qin Ke rolled his eyes and snorted, "If I dare, where can I talk to you here." ”

In the night, a crow quacked in the tree above them, and it was annoying, and he turned his head, and the firelight was obscured behind the rolling hills, and it was gradually becoming less visible.

He said worriedly, "Nothing really will happen." ”

It turns out that if people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water. In particular, the mouth that usually doesn't seem to be very bright, just like the crow that quacks between the mountains and forests, with a heavy bad luck.

The goshawk hovered in the dim sky, and the firelight illuminated the way ahead, but it was always under its feet, unable to illuminate the distance.

Soon, the scouts came with the news that in the direction of Rongxi County, more than ten miles to the south, nearly 30,000 Tang troops were constantly approaching, and this retreat route that should have belonged to them was blocked at the moment, and it was impossible to pass through at all.

"Got it. Wang Xuanwei's eyes flickered slightly, waved his hand slightly, then turned the horse's head and led the team to the west.

In about an hour, the scouts reported again, and found nearly 20,000 Tang troops from the west, although the night draped them with a black coat, but they steadily advanced step by step, iron armor and spears built a terrible forest in the night.

Continuing to march in such a night, it is obvious that the Tang army is not wandering aimlessly, and the purpose of their trip is already coming out.

Although there were only 20,000 people, in the face of such a prepared and lined up Tang army, even if the black cavalry was enough to break through their formation, I am afraid that the casualties would be very heavy.

In the next three days of marching, Qin Ke and Abu, like those generals, gradually tightened their hearts.

The Tang Army, the Tang Army is everywhere. The Tang Army to the east, the Tang Army to the west, the Tang Army to the north, and the ...... It's also the Don Army.

I don't know when it started, these Tang troops seemed to have been agreed in the dark, and spread step by step and quietly, and with their cautious attitude, they were obviously fully prepared.

All of this shows that Abu's guess is not wrong, the Tang army has indeed expected the movement of the Mo cavalry, and the reason why they have remained silent before is only because they need to guarantee that they will not startle the snake.

The encirclement has been formed, and what awaits Qin Ke and them now is a huge encirclement and annihilation.

"Now the Tang army on the surface has exceeded 120,000, they control all the main roads, and they are constantly advancing. There are 50,000 Shenwu Heavenly Army, and 40,000 don't know where, and the 10,000 Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry has never appeared......"

Zhang Jiuxin's voice trembled, these days, he had been listening to the scout's report, and he obviously smelled the dangerous smell of the mountain rain coming.

Although the two armies have not really faced each other now, as long as he closes his eyes at night, it seems that he can see the two armies colliding, the drums shaking the sky, and the overwhelming scene of the Tang army pouring down like a flood.

120,000 Tang troops!

And Zhang Jiuxin knew very well in their hearts that they just looked like black riders on the surface, but in fact, compared to the real black riders, they were just a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Besides, even if there are more than 10,000 elite black horsemen of the Mo family, they are facing more than ten times the Tang army...... It's no different from a praying mantis in front of the wheel.

Obviously, he had just come out of Pinggu's encirclement, but he fell into another, even bigger trap so quickly, this situation had already weighed him down, and he kept his eyes open all night last night, tossing and turning, and never fell asleep.

"General, what should we do?" Zhang Jiuxin only had this life-saving straw left, and now, he could only pin all his hopes on that person who was as deep as a deep well.

But to his disappointment, Wang Xuanwei didn't say anything to him.

"In about five days, we should collide head-on with the Tang Army. When he set up camp at night, Abu hastily calculated on the map, and then said with a pale face: "Is the Tang army crazy? 120,000 just to encircle and suppress a cavalry team of 10,000 people like us?"

Qin Ke also had a headache when he heard this, but he unexpectedly found that his heart was far calmer than his expression.

In fact, on the one hand, his attainments in the art of war are not as good as Abu's, and it is difficult to deduce and calculate the terrible layout behind this, and on the other hand, it is ...... Probably because I have been stimulated by too many frightens these days, I have become a little numb for a while.

Speaking of which, since the breakthrough of Jinzhou, he has been experiencing a period of "the sky is falling, the ground is sinking, there is no way to live!" to "Oh, it turned out to be just a dream...... Oh, it's not a big deal......", the brief peace after the crisis is back in crisis, and it seems to have become some kind of established trajectory.

He now feels that if he can return to Daoxiang Village alive in the future, he must go to grab the job of the storyteller, and tell the children who have snot all year round about all kinds of new things he has encountered, and he will definitely earn a lot of exclamations and admiration.

"Maybe we've stabbed the hornet's nest. Qin Ke thought about the things he had been fooling around in the mountains in the past, and felt that the taste of honey was still lingering in his mouth, and sighed with a smile: "We tossed around other people's grain teams, it's not that we don't report it, it's just that the time has not come......."
