Xiang Chu's expression was calm: "His injuries should be more serious than mine, if someone hadn't intervened, I would have been fifty percent sure to keep him." But...... He wasted some strength when he broke through the encirclement, and speaking of which, after all, I was invincible. ”

said that it was a victory, but Xiang Chu's expression did not look ashamed, but it looked a little unfinished. He took a step, walked straight to the sand table, looked at the small flags planted on it, and said, "How are you going?"

At the mention of this, Long Ju's spirit perked up: "The surrounding counties of Xingzhou have been basically pacified, as long as we take two more counties today, our army can completely control Xingjiang." According to the general's deduction before the expedition, the city wall of Xingzhou is solid, the terrain is high, although the water attack is not feasible, but its water source can be cut off, we only need to raise the dam, forcibly drain the river water to other places, the city can only rely on 17 wells to live, even if the city has enough grain and grass, but tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city have to drink water after all...... It won't be long before they get out of the city and surrender. ”

Xiang Chu nodded lightly and said, "Then how many more days do you expect?"

"Ten days. Long Ju said without hesitation: "In ten days, there will not be a drop of water available in Xingzhou, and there will be no more drinkable water in the only seventeen remaining wells." ”

Xiang Chu raised his head and glanced at him, with a somewhat relieved smile in his eyes: "It's your cleverness, right?"

"I ......" Long Ju smiled a little embarrassedly, "Let the general see the smile, it is true that I arranged for people to infiltrate Xingzhou, but after all, I am not a powerful character, and I can only do some things to poison the well." ”

"In that case, they don't have to take the risk. Xiang Chu said: "It's just seventeen wells, it's not important." It's better to let them create some rumors in the city, saying that the Mo family has completely abandoned Xingzhou, and it is enough to weaken their military spirit one more time. ”

"Yes. The dragon colt said respectfully.

"Just now outside, I heard that Canghai also sent someone over?" Xiang Chu suddenly asked.

Long Ju was taken aback, and then nodded in affirmation: "The day before yesterday, it was a woman in red named Luo Fengxiao, when I first saw it, I was also very surprised, I didn't expect that the Lord of Canghai would send a woman to discuss and work with our army." ”

Xiang Chu's smile gradually revealed a bit of mockery: "Don't underestimate this woman, Cao Meng and my Tang State alliance army went on the expedition, it was she who agreed with Yang Taizhen as a representative, it can be said that she and Yang Taizhen hit it off and set out to promote today's battle." ”

"This ......" Long Ju was stunned, not knowing how to speak.

This inside story, Long Ju also learned about it today, naturally his heart was a little agitated, his face turned red, and said: "This is my loneliness, it turns out that this woman still has such ability...... I only thought she was in the sea, but she was just Cao Meng's plaything......"

"Plaything?" Xiang Chu sneered: "Can Cao Meng subdue her......?"

He remembered the first time he saw her in the inner palace hall of the Tang Kingdom, and the extraordinary power that surged from her blood......

"The woman's condition...... Not quite right. Xiang Chu lowered his head and sighed secretly: "It seems that he is no longer human......

......

Qin Ke rode a war horse and stood on a hill, looking at the sunset in the distance as it slowly fell into the mountains, the twilight was four, and the sky was down, showing a little depression and tiredness.

"This should be it. Qin Ke carefully looked at the map in his hand again and muttered to himself.

The goshawk soared in the sky, its silver wings streaking in the twilight before fading away.

Qin Ke whistled, it glided and reversed direction, swooped down all of a sudden, and landed steadily on Qin Ke's arm.

This bird of prey has been playing the role of a scout for several days, and Qin Ke's team has almost had a good staff officer and a pair of clairvoyance, because of its agility and sharp eyes, and every raid has been completed extremely smoothly.

Even so, Qin Ke would naturally reward it appropriately.

He took out a package of raw meat and handed it over carefully, the goshawk saw it and bit one of them fiercely, using the sharp beak and claws together, and quickly tore a large piece of meat into pieces, Qin Ke looked at it gobbling up, inexplicably thought of the former Xiao Hei, and couldn't help laughing.

"This guy ......" Qin Ke glanced down at the package hanging on the saddle, knowing that the guy he was thinking about was curled up in the package and falling asleep at this time, and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "It's really getting heavier and heavier." ”

Of course, Xiao Hei didn't wake up because Qin Ke said a word, but when the last piece of meat was eaten by the snowy goshawk, he sneezed in his sleep.

But this small sound made the snowy goshawk suddenly startled, the feathers on its body suddenly stood up one by one, and the flesh on its mouth also fell to the ground, its keen and bright eyes were overflowing with panic at this moment, and while looking around, it seemed to be a little puzzled, not understanding what was going on.

Qin Ke stretched out his hand to appease a few times, and handed over the last piece of meat in his hand.

At the same time, his ears moved slightly, and he jerked his head.

In the distance, a black cavalry approached in the twilight, climbing the high slope and pouring down like a tide, without any sound except the sound of horses' hooves.

Qin Ke waved his hand away the goshawk, raised his arms and shouted: "Abu!"

The oncoming Abu quickly responded, although the stubble on his chin was covered with dust from running around for days, which looked extremely vicissitudes, but when he saw Qin Ke, he immediately showed joy and left all his fatigue behind.

Abu also raised his hand, and the goshawk on his arm soared up, hovering and intertwining with Qin Ke's goshawk in the air, this bird of prey that should have lived alone was tamed by the Mo family animal tamer, and it became like a brother and sister, and the relationship between them was very good.

The cavalry rushed all the way to a place fifty steps in front of Qin Ke before stopping, Abu and Qin Ke turned over and dismounted at the same time, ran towards each other, deliberately bumped into each other, and then hugged each other and laughed, the sound echoed between the mountains and fields, startling away many birds resting in the forest.

"You're not dead yet!" Qin Ke was happy in his heart, and slammed his fist into Abu's chest.

"What are you talking about, what do you mean I'm not dead?" Abu also laughed and punched back, but quickly thought of Xiao Hei, who often hid in Qin Ke's chest, and was a little worried.

Qin Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "That guy is dead now, I would have put him in the package a long time ago." ”

Abu was slightly surprised, after all, for so long, Qin Ke had hardly been separated from Xiao Hei, and the two of them were like conjoined babies.

However, when Qin Ke explained clearly, Abu also suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "When I was in Jingwu, I thought he was definitely not an ordinary lizard, don't you believe it." ”

Qin Ke raised his foot and gently kicked his knee, smiling helplessly: "Of course there is a hunch, but I still hope that he will never grow ......up."

Ab Dao: "General Wang's meaning, the demon beast grows faster than you, and it is possible to despise you or leave you, as long as you continue to practice, you may not be caught up by him...... Brother Changgong's war horse, named 'Red Fire', was the first horse he found in the wild horse herd outside the Great Wall, and it has been six years now, and their relationship is not the same as before?"

"Hopefully. Qin Ke nodded, and couldn't help but look at the heavy package hanging on the saddle.

The next moment, Abu's huge fist slammed into his chest, suffocating his breath until he took two steps back.

Abu laughed and said, "Since Xiao Hei is not here, then I don't have to stop!"

Qin Ke clutched his chest and rubbed it twice, and with a stomp of his feet, he pounced on Abu with his teeth and claws, and the two quickly scuffled together until they fell down the dirt slope and rolled on the dry grass.

When the two teams of "black riders" saw such a situation, their faces also smiled, and some even cheered at the top of their voices to cheer up.

"How far have you run these days?"

The two of them were lying on their backs on the dirt slope panting, these days, they have been strictly following the map given by Wang Xuanwei, almost exactly with the cavalry, each sneaking up on several food teams, although their qi and blood cultivation is getting deeper and deeper, but they are also tired enough.

"About 160 miles. Abu sat up, gestured and said, "For three days, except for the first night when I camped and slept well, everything else was basically racing against time, and it was good to be able to squint on horseback for a while." ”

"I'm about the same. ”

As we all know, Wang Xuanwei is good at mobile warfare, and back then, he led the elite black cavalry to constantly attack, maneuvering with the coalition forces of several countries, secretly lengthening their battle lines, severing their connections, and finally breaking them one by one and defeating them.

And he finally experienced the feeling of Wang Xuanwei's corporal back then - there is only one word "tired".

Although they did not run on a pair of feet like the infantry of the past, the infantry of the past only walked more than 30 miles a day, and their cavalry ran at least three times the distance of others, and after a short rest, they might immediately launch the next wave of attack, like a taut string, which was pulled more and more tightly in the rush and transfer, and almost broke down.

These days, Qin Ke has not removed his armor or left his sword, and even in his dreams, he thought that he was charging, and he would immediately draw his sword out of its sheath, and once he almost slashed the head of his war horse......

"I have half an hour. Qin Ke said.

"I also have half an hour. Abu also said.

This is not a dumb riddle, but on the map, Wang Xuanwei marked the time for them in advance, and the reason why they will meet here at this moment is also because of Wang Xuanwei's pre-arrangement.

On that map, not only did they mark their route, but also the time they could stay, seek the enemy, and attack in one place.

Once the appointed hour has passed, even big things must be put aside, after all, Wang Xuanwei's "all the army will be killed" is not just talking.

This half hour is the time they have been waiting here.

The two glanced at each other, each got up from the ground with great difficulty, and shouted to the black cavalry under their command: "Dismount, rest for half an hour, and the sword must not be left from the body." ”

The black cavalry on both sides dismounted from their horses almost simultaneously, each taking water bladders and dry food from his own pockets or horses, and devouring them.

The two teams remained silent, and no one even left their horses ten paces away, holding dry cakes in one hand and the saber at their waists in the other, as if they could draw their blades at any moment and slash at the enemy.

These days, the cavalry has gone through several battles, in addition to running, that is, killing the enemy, in the arduous training, they set off from Jinzhou still have a trace of cowardice, a trace of immaturity has long been gone, replaced by a resolute and decisive look, and the taste of iron-blooded killing.

Perhaps in terms of tricks and skills, they are not comparable to the real elite cavalry of various countries, but in terms of fighting spirit and morale, in Abu's opinion, they can already be called the best among ordinary cavalry, and it is difficult for anyone to imagine that these people were just a ragtag cavalry army stationed in the city not long ago.

While taking the food handed by his subordinates, they each ate some, and then the two of them lay down on the dirt slope with their eyes closed and began to discuss the next step......
