Chapter 458: Fighting! (I)
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear, and the two Qianchang were arguing, but at this moment, they turned their heads together and stared at him like torches.
Of course, these people can see that the relationship between Abu and Qin Ke is by no means a master and servant, nor is it a relationship between upper and lower levels, this young man they are not very familiar with, yesterday on the battlefield can be described as sweeping unimpeded, a halberd waved in his hand like a dragon in the wind, I don't know how many Tang soldiers were killed by him with one blow, falling off the horse and rolling, so they have a little awe of him in their hearts.
As soon as he opened his mouth at this time, everyone cheered up and pricked up their ears to listen.
"Maybe we're going to have damage in this fight, but in my opinion, it's more likely to win. Abu looked resolute, "If we turn back, if we encounter pursuers, our entire team may be buried." ”
Lao Liu looked at him, still unconvinced, and said: "How can you be so sure? Maybe Xiang Chu and they don't have time to take care of our army, less than 3,000 cavalry, and they still have wounded, and they can't go anywhere...... Besides, even if we really bumped into the pursuers, we would still be able to run away with one person and three horses. ”
"One person and three horses, after all, is not a fatal move. Abu said softly: "We do have a lot of horses, but we are also tired from running all the way, and the reason why General Wang made such a move under the city is precisely to disperse the Tang cavalry, so that they will not be able to recover for a while, and they will not be able to withdraw from the pursuit of us." But if you can't withdraw for a while, it doesn't mean that you can't withdraw all the time, with the strength of the horses and feet of the cavalry of the Southern Army of the Tang State, you will be able to catch up with us in less than a day. ”
"Long ...... That brother ......" He covered up for a moment, and then said: "My teacher said that victory or defeat on the battlefield is inseparable from the word "gambling". On the battlefield, everyone is a gambler, and no one predicts what will happen next. Some people can bet on experience, others can only rely on intuition, but one thing we can be sure of now is that if we lose this battle, we will not lose all our money. But if we take a detour, or turn back, we will have nothing!"
Lao Liu was speechless for a while, and did not refute again. And Tu Ergou couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said to Abu: "In the end, it is the general's brother, as soon as I hear it, I know that I have learned the art of war, and I have a nose and eyes when I speak." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lao Liu with a provocative gaze: "Did you hear that, Lao Liu, learn a little." ”
"Get out!" Lao Liu scolded, holding the knife and walking towards his team, while turning back and scolding: "Don't kick your nose in the face, be careful that I kick you in the ditch." ”
The two of them are both thousands of longs, and they are both fatal friendships on the battlefield, so this back-and-forth quarrel is more like an ordinary fight between brothers, and it won't really hurt the harmony.
And Tu Ergou really didn't intend to kick his nose in the face, and hurriedly continued to ask Abu: "Then Lu Gongzi...... Oh no, General Lu! Tell me how we should fight this battle? Can we take advantage of his unpreparedness and take him by surprise? How powerful can a contingent of people who escort grain and grass be, most of them are infantry troops, and they will certainly not be the main force of the Tang Army. ”
It's just that Abu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "General Tu, it's not that I'm arrogant, our cavalry army, I'm afraid it's not the elite of the Mo family, in terms of strength, no matter how bad this Tang army is, it is also transferred from the Zhengnan Army, and it can be responsible for escorting grain and grass, it will not be a weak brigade of recruits waiting for leisure, the Zhengnan Army was originally the family of the Tang State, and it was recruited and trained to avenge the revenge of the ghost cavalry of Jingwu Qingzhou who swept the Tang State, and this time he entered the Mo family, and he was ......also invincible."
"Uh......" Tu Ergou choked for a moment, and his mind suddenly became much clearer, perhaps because Wang Xuanwei's previous battle was too fierce and too bloody, which made them more or less inflated, almost forgetting that they were just a temporary team in Jinzhou City, and they were too far behind the "black horse" in Wang Xuanwei's hands at the beginning.
Lao Liu heard this talk over there, so he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, and teased: "Yo, Lao Tu, you want to stand side by side with the Mo family's black cavalry army at this moment?
"Shut up!" Tu Ergou's forehead burst into blue tendons, "Even if it is a ragtag army, the brothers have still rushed out of the army of 100,000, as for the black cavalry...... I'll be able to get in sooner or later!"
When the cavalry was pulling, Qin Ke returned to his tent again, and a red light gradually rose from behind the mountains in the distance, and under the reflection of the sunrise, the birds and birds in the forest flapped their wings and crossed the sky, which was beautiful.
Qin Ke's brows were furrowed, and his voice was a little anxious.
Cai Yan ...... Cai Yan?" Qin Ke probed Cai Yan's forehead and exclaimed, "It's so hot...... What's going on?"
Perhaps because of yesterday's battle, I was a little frightened, and after a day of galloping on horseback, the night dew was cold, Cai Yan, a "woman" who was good at riding and archery since childhood, couldn't adapt to the adjustment for a while, and actually launched a fever.
Seeing her dazed appearance, Qin Ke could only pick her up, feed her some water, and ask for a wine bag from his subordinates, pour out some liquor and rub it in his palm, from top to bottom of her neck, all the way to her spine, to help her qi and blood evacuate.
Cai Yan squinted his eyes, but muttered: "How can you have such a small strength, how can it work?"
Qin Ke glanced at her with a smile, lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid that if you have too much strength, you will hurt." ”
Cai Yan rarely showed a sense of powerlessness, so he simply reached out and grabbed Qin Ke's shoulder, leaned his head up, and said lazily: "I'm not the kind of delicate daughter who sits in the boudoir and doesn't leave the door, and doesn't step out of the second door...... The horn comb in my hair, you take it off, remember to follow the direction of the meridians......"
Qin Ke coughed lightly, yes, she is indeed not a delicate daughter, he has been with her all the way from Tang Kingdom, he has never seen this girl have the slightest trace of "delicate".
But he still blushed suddenly, took off the comb on Cai Yan's head, her long hair hung like brocade, and the faint fragrance of magnolia flowers poured into his nose......
He hammered his head with his other hand before he calmed down, and his hand also strengthened a little, gradually bringing the horn comb in his hand to a hot temperature.
After combing his qi and blood, he hurriedly grabbed his cloak and wrapped Cai Yan, who was sweating slightly, so that she would not catch a cold again.
"I'll take you with me in a moment. Qin Ke said in a low voice.
Cai Yan nodded and fell asleep groggyly, at this moment, she didn't plan to brace hard, and there was no need to think about avoiding suspicion or anything, it was better to sleep well and recover early, so as to reduce the burden on Qin Ke.
Cai Yan's whole body is very light, and with Qin Ke's current qi and blood cultivation, holding her seems to be just holding a piece of wings.
Abu saw it and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Maybe scared, tired, a little feverish. Qin Ke held the reins of the horse, saw that the soldiers behind him had already turned over and got on the horse, waved his hand decisively, and ordered the camp to be pulled out immediately.
"That'...... Is it serious?"
"It's fine. I've just groomed her and sweated, so it shouldn't be a big problem. When you set up camp later, just boil some soup for her...... Before, I also found a lot of herbs in the mountains to dispel wind and dissipate heat. Qin Ke looked down at Cai Yan who was sleeping in his arms, his face still worried.
Abu said: "If you don't let someone take her first, it's not convenient for you to do this, right......?" Inevitably, there will be a fight. ”
"I'll talk about it then, and I'll leave it to someone else...... I'm not reassured. Qin Ke's voice was also as light as a feather.
The horses' hooves were bursting, and the two of them were running all the way forward, and behind them were war horses pouring down from the hillside like a flood, like a picture of ten thousand horses galloping.
The other side.
The wheels of the cart rolled slowly on the uneven road, and from time to time the rocks on the ground shook violently, and the burlap bags filled with grain also fell with them.
It's just that the Tang general, who was dressed in armor and solemn, watched these grains and grass jumping up and down, but his heart was full of boredom.
"How far is this Jinzhou?" The general of the Tang State muttered in his mouth: "People earn military merits before the battle, I bracket it well, just transport grain and grass here, transport grain and grass will transport grain and grass, and I haven't received credit for transporting it, and I have to take the head to apologize if something happens, hey...... I have to suffer from that soft egg every day......"
Speaking of this, he subconsciously lowered his voice and glanced at the grain and grass superintendent not far away, for fear that others would hear his complaints.
But when he saw the expression on the face of the grain and grass superintendent, he finally couldn't help but snicker twice.
The grain and grass overseer was a civil official, and although he also wore armor, he could not support his weak little body, and when he writhed on horseback from time to time, and constantly reached his waist and legs, his movements were as funny as a big horse monkey.
The civil official is naturally not good at riding horses, and he can't sit still at this time, it seems that he hasn't found a water source to take a good bath when he comes to the Mo family, and there are lice on his body, scratching and scratching so that half of his face is convulsed.
It's just that the Tang State has always paid attention to "governing the military with literature", probably because it is afraid of the self-respect of the soldiers below, so it generally places some civil officials with real power in the army.
It's just that civil officials have never won the hearts of the people, and those who are soldiers and fight, licking blood with knives, all use their strength to convince people, either they are superior in force, or they are excellent in the art of war......
Thinking of this, the Tang army general snorted from his nose again.
"I'll just say that these civilian officials are useless, and when it comes to war, where will it be their turn to point fingers? If there are a few more scholars and masters in this army, this battle will not be fought. The general muttered, suddenly laughed, and shouted at the grain and grass superintendent with some ill will: "Lord Tie!
Grain and grass superintendent was sitting on the horse and felt extremely uncomfortable, and when he heard the general calling him, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately controlled the horse and leaned over: "General Ding, what's the matter?"
General Ding smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that you're a little tired, there are still a lot of ways to go to Jinzhou, why don't you go to the back of the board car to rest for a while?"
When the grain and grass superintendent heard this, he was shocked, lowered his head and looked around cautiously, and said cowardly: "This is not good, this is in the army, how can I be embarrassed to make special ...... as a superintendent."
General Ding patted his thigh and laughed louder: "What's this, Lord Tie is not a big man of us soldiers after all, we people are used to riding horses, oops, if you keep holding on so hard, in case you fall on the road, I can't explain it...... Go ahead, it's okay, I'm going to have something going on. ”
When Lord Tie heard General Ding say this, he was also like being amnestied, and hurriedly summoned his attendants to help him get off the horse, and limped to the back of the cart, although the bumps were still there, but it was much better than the horse's back, and he could even rely on a small squint for a while, which was very pleasant.
Under such circumstances, he didn't care about the shrill laughter from the army, but he just felt the refreshing wind with peace of mind, let out a long breath, and even sang poems in a mosquito-like voice to entertain himself: "Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo." There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding......"
He was calling himself a gentleman, but General Ding held back a smile, and when he saw the disdainful looks on the faces of the soldiers beside him, he was very happy: This idiot, if he dies to the end, he can still win the favor of the soldiers, but looking at the muddy appearance of him leaning on the board cart will only make the soldiers even more shameless.
He raised his head, only to feel that the sky was a little bluer, and the morning sun, which had gradually risen, also showed a warm face at this moment, and the light flickered, as if it was also laughing at Lord Tie.
"Go to Jinzhou early, Lao Tzu will also have a good fight, if you can catch up and enter Jinzhou City, there are gold, silver, treasures, women, everything. ”
He snorted a few times, suddenly thought of something, and scolded: "This scout has been gone all night, why hasn't there been any news, shouldn't this group of little rabbits go to Jinzhou to besiege the city first......
But what he didn't know was that those scouts really couldn't come back, because as early as yesterday, these scouts had been wiped out, and their corpses were thrown into the mountains and forests for wild beasts to eat.
Soon, his eyes became as sharp as a knife.
Directly ahead, a group of black clouds and smoke billowed in.
An uninvited group of people.
Freeloader.
He finally saw the ever-enlarged figures of the horses and cavalry, and the team escorting grain and grass behind him suddenly became a little chaotic.
At this moment, General Ding finally understood why the scouts he sent out did not return......
(Sorry for being a little late.) )
