"The grain cart has been hijacked!" the young soldier gasped.

Pan Feng's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "Nonsense, this is Wangji, a radius of eight hundred miles, there are no rogues at all, is it impossible, dare to rob military rations, aren't you afraid of being requisitioned by the royal court's army?"

Pan Feng looked at the officers and soldiers and said, "Can you see what kind of clothes the person is wearing?"

The officer and soldier hurriedly said, "My lord, those people are all masked, although they look like homeless people in rags and tattered clothes, but their subordinates can be sure that these people are definitely not ordinary homeless, they are in groups of three or five, and the battle is very orderly, our left guards are all old and young, and they are not their opponents at all, fortunately they only grab things, we run, and they don't chase, otherwise the subordinates will not come back." ”

"And those people are also extremely arrogant, saying that as long as we transport it once, they will rob it once. ”

"Presumptuous!" Pan Feng was furious when he heard this, his breath fluttered all over his body, his beard was raised, like an angry lion, his eyes widened angrily, "Come on, take my weapon, beat the drum out of the ......."

At this point, Pan Feng's voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly woke up, the tiger talisman had been handed over, and now he was no longer the chief general of the left guard.

At that moment, Pan Feng's heart moved, this gang of thieves didn't come sooner or later, but they came at this time, which was clearly aimed at the newly appointed Captain Xue.

Pan Feng's heart moved, and he suddenly shouted, "Ah!" and then the whole person fainted to the ground.

The generals stepped forward, pinched people again, and fed pills, and after a while, the veteran Pan Feng slowly opened his eyes.

The first general said anxiously, "Old general, the military rations have been robbed, and you ordered, the last general will lead the army to snatch the grain and grass back?"

"Old general, hurry up and give the order, a moment later, I am afraid that the military rations will really be robbed, and when the time comes, it will be our January military rations!"

The two commanders of the left guard, the battalion officers of the two battalions of archery and cavalry, none of them asked Xue Peng what he meant, the big battle was imminent, and General Pan was the backbone of their hearts.

Pan Feng said angrily, "Now, I am no longer the chief general of the three armies, and now the tiger talisman is in the hands of Captain Xue, you can inquire about him in everything, my old injuries have recurred, and I need to recuperate." ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while when they heard this, and finally looked at Xue Peng, and the commander of the thousand men stood up and said to Xue Peng, "My lord, please give the order, and the general will go to recover the grain." ”

When encountering such a thing for the first time, Xue Peng didn't know how to deal with it, and immediately looked at Wei Ying, Wei Ying saw this, hesitated for a moment, and finally moved his lips, although there was no sound, but Xue Peng could understand it.

Immediately, Xue Peng said, "Where is the cavalry battalion officer?"

Nearly eighty a year, the veteran with a broken arm stood up slowly, "Humble duty." ”

Xue Peng glanced at it, and his heart was half cold, such a veteran, can he still ride a horse and hold a knife, and he can only say at the moment, "Let you gather the cavalry of the headquarters, and gather in formation here after half a cup of tea, and the old man will pursue the Liukou." ”

The veteran coughed lightly, and then breathlessly took his breath, "Humble duty, take orders." ”

"Where are the commanders of the infantry?"

At this time, two veterans also stood up, "Humble duty." ”

Xue Peng saw that the two veterans were both eighty or ninety years old, full of white hair, two faces as dry as old bark, one of them had an empty sleeve on his left arm, fluttering in the autumn wind, and the other had a broken right leg.

In the bleak autumn wind, the two veterans tried their best to keep their bodies straight, staring at Xue Peng with vicissitudes and turbid eyes.

Seeing the appearance of the two veterans, Xue Peng suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart, "Could it be that I am withering and going into battle with old decay armor?"

Suppressing the desolate feeling in his heart, Xue Peng said loudly, "Order the two of you to gather the soldiers of the headquarters, and assemble in a formation after tea, the thousand-man army on the left will follow the cavalry to pursue the liukou, and the thousand-man army on the right will stay in the camp." ”

"Humble command. The two veterans said in unison.

Xue Peng continued, "Where is the Bow and Arrow Battalion Officer?"

At this time, a child less than five feet tall stood up and said crisply, "Xiao General." ”

Xue Peng looked at it and looked about the same age as his sister, carrying a big bow that was longer than his height, and the quiver was densely packed with arrows.

The corners of Xue Peng's mouth twitched, and he looked at the child and said, "How old are you?"

The young general's face was solemn, and he said loudly, "Return to the Lord General, the young general is fourteen this year." ”

"Fourteen, the battalion officer, those archers don't have to think about it to know what it looks like. Xue Peng sighed secretly in his heart, and then said, "With you, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and stand by." ”

"Humble command. ”

After giving the order, the generals departed.

Originally, today's captain and commander were just tall, and the whole army was assembled, but in less than a cup of tea, the cavalry battalion, infantry, and bow battalion had all been assembled.

Xue Peng took a look, the cavalry battalion of five hundred people was less than fifty people at this time, and the horses were all old men, either missing arms or legs, or the horses were all old horses, and they were out of breath when they walked a few steps, as for the infantry, there were more, there were two or three hundred people, all of them were missing arms and legs, but they were all complete, but they were all children, and the weapons they held were varied, including iron pickaxes, sickles, and better spears, but they were all full of rust.

With old or immature faces, muddy or ignorant eyes, standing in front of this group of so-called soldiers, Xue Peng's heart suddenly became heavy.

The original spirit disappeared completely, and looking at the veterans and young generals in the field, there was only a thick bitterness in my heart.

Xue Peng walked up to a child who was less than his chest, straightened his buttons, and asked, "How old are you?"

The child straightened his body and said crisply, "Thirteen." ”

Xue Peng asked, "Why did you become a soldier?"

The child looked at Xue Peng with a confused expression, thought for a while, and finally said, "Being a soldier can not starve." ”

At this time, Qin Cha said, "Captain Xue, now is not the time to care, if you don't pursue again, the military rations will be lost, you can't afford to be guilty, you have not been the main general and captain for a day, if you are taken down, it will become a joke of the entire royal court!"

Xue Peng took a deep breath, pointed to the old and the young, and said, "My lord, tell me, can they go into battle, I would rather lose this official position, and would rather be ridiculed for a lifetime than let them die." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three veterans and the battalion officer and junior general spoke out at the same time.

The three veterans raised their eyebrows and said in a loud voice, "Lord General, are you deceiving us and others to be old? Don't you hear that although the veteran is old, the sword is not old." ”

The young general also said crisply, "The lord general, although the young general is young, he knows how to kill demons and eliminate demons, don't ask the young and old, we are not afraid of death." ”

The three veterans and one young general looked at Xue Peng at the same time as the defeated old and young, and Xue Peng felt an inexplicable shock in his heart, and immediately said loudly, "Okay, everyone, follow the general to hunt down the enemy chief and recapture the grain and grass." ”

The voice fell, and Xue Peng took the lead and rushed to the official road in the distance.
