Chapter 48 Miracle (4) Part 2
Chapter 48 Miracle (IV)
Xiao Yan's troops were just cautiously following the open cavalry and searching behind the scenes. In the case of marching and fighting, Ma Kuo, Li Cunzhong, Qiu Huchen was both a long-time general, so he didn't need to worry about it. I guess even if he ordered, others would listen to it. Understand the overall situation, Xiao Yan was far superior to the public. The commander of the army should have innate qualities. The so-called ability to make decisions, he had good luck. Specifically, when it comes to combat, it was smarter to shut up.
Moreover, Xiao Yan was full of confidence all the way, but his heart was still beating together. In the midnight court of Zhuozhou, he had also repeatedly considered it. As long as Yizhou was not down, Xiao Gan would never use a large army to deal with him! First, his heart was still in Yanjing, and he was not very interested in being involved in the melee between Zhuo and Yizhou. What he is doing now is nothing more than establishing his authority. Second, Xiao Gan was also a long-time general and the commander of the army, and would not do stupid things that he could roam. Without Yizhou as a support, he would easily return to the army, and would probably fail at both ends.
This is all his chance. As long as Yizhou is still in the hands of Guo Yaoshi, he may not meet Xiao Gan's subordinates. Anyway, Xiao Gan couldn't expect that his movements were so fast that he had almost gone to Zhuozhou and dared to challenge him, the main force of the Liao Dynasty!
As long as he can approach Yizhou and open his voice, he has plans to shock Xiao Gan away. There are too many suspicious plans, especially Xiao Gan is in Yizhou, but he is actually obsessed with the time of Yanjing!
But all this is still a risk. What if Yizhou is already falling? What if Xiao Gan is not as smart as he imagined, the army turned around and rushed towards Zhuozhou? So Xiao Yan did not say anything about Ma Kuo and his men's extremely cautious arrangement, but he also agreed with him in his heart.
If you really meet the Liao army brigade and Xiao Gan's main force, you will still turn around and run faster. You must be sure of taking risks. If you don't have a single point, you will not be very interested in dying.
As the sky was getting dark, Xiao Yan's troops had already searched for the camp to set up, and all the guards were ready. The camp guards were doubled at night. They rushed towards Yizhou with such a few people, and the soldiers under their command were all nervous. They just quietly bury the pot and cook. Every soldier was wearing armor and clothes, and there were even those who didn't go into the tent, but they were just hanging on the open air with their backs against their backs. Fortunately, it was still late summer, and the night wind was cold, but they could support it.
As for Xiao Yan, he was not sleepy at all.
The stars in the sky, just like the scene he had traveled through time, were only sprinkled from the royal blue sky. Youyan's mountains, rivers and land showed a blurry outline in the night, and everything around was quiet. The iron armor was waiting to leak in the camp, and there were even tigers, who were surveillances passing through the night.
Xiao Yan was not sleepy at all, but walked around in the small camp. Two close-fitting soldiers of Shengjie Army were just following him silently. In the camp, there were old soldiers. Although they were not as strict as when they were camping in Xiongzhou, there was no team to patrol the camp. This camp was so small that it could be seen through at a glance. But every soldier was resting quietly with his eyes closed. No one was talking or moving, and he could not see his nervous look. At least he was nervous, worried and afraid, and he was so hidden that Xiao Yan couldn't see it.
Everything seemed quiet, and I could only hear the soft collision sounds of the two armored soldiers following him. The war horses were concentrated on one side of the camp, and these war horses were also good horses selected by many battle formations. They also had no sound, and even had low neighing sounds. I don’t know what to do with such a team, but Xiao Yan’s fear in his heart was much less.
They are all soldiers who can fight, they are all good soldiers, and they are undoubtedly a good army. When they are rushing to this end, how can they lead them to make full contributions? After the battle in Yizhou, how many familiar faces can I see next camp?
Xiao Yan did not feel any hypocritical guilt that a general succeeded, because he was always rushing to the front and shared the same risks with them.
Looking west, the mountains, rivers and earth are hidden in the darkness and under the stars. There are countless dead soldiers hiding for themselves, exploring the wind and dew. A hundred miles further ahead is Xiaoxiao Yishui, which has been around for thousands of years and has been endless. And I have to complete a miracle that seems impossible to everyone!
Ma Kuo was leaning under a tree and was sleeping. He was also wearing armor, with a cloak cushion under his body, half lifted up and wrapped around his body. It seemed that he was snoring slightly. Ma Kuo was as tall as 173174, and was already considered an Angzang man in this era. Although he was not as tall as Xiao Yan, he had to say that his image in armor was less than Xiao Yan's least heroic than Xiao Yan. No matter how jealous Xiao Yan was, he could not catch up with this temperament that had been trained in a hundred battles.
Seeing him sleeping soundly and looking calm, Xiao Yan smiled and wanted to bypass him. He was still a little tender, and in this case, he just couldn't sleep...
While passing Ma Kuo, Xiao Yan heard Ma Kuo's low voice suddenly sounded: "Brother Xiao, are you still waiting for the news of the whistle detective?"
Xiao Yan was stunned, turned around and laughed in a low voice: "I just thought I couldn't sleep alone!"
Ma Kuo opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, but there was no sleepiness in his eyes: "Who can sleep boldly at this time? Pooh Han Wu is one, I haven't seen the others yet. Four hundred cavalry against Xiao Gan and tens of thousands of elite Liao soldiers, my courage is not iron-clad!"
Xiao Yan smiled and sat down beside him leaning against the tree. Two soldiers from the Scenic Army stood by the two of them without making a sound.
"………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... Xiao, if you want to return to the army, you have to return to the army. Brother Xiao wants to retreat. Brother Xiao, if you want to return to the army, you still have time to….”
Ma Kuo leaned against the tree, just looking at the sky above his head, and said slowly.
Xiao Yan just replied softly: "Brother Ma, do you want to retreat? If you retreat, Zhuozhou will not be able to be saved. Zhuoyi is in hand, and the army will go north with a decisive force. I only dare to assert that once you retreat, we Zhuozhou will also give up, and we don't know when we will go north! The battle situation in Yandi is really out of control......Brother Ma, are you willing?"
Ma Kuo didn't speak, just looked at the starry sky above his head. After a while, he said softly: "Our detectives should have touched the west of Laishui now, right? Crossing the river back and forth to report the news, it is inevitable that there will be some delays... I am unwilling to accept it... I fight for a fight, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, I have a clear conscience. I am afraid that these brothers under my command will think so... I retreated to Xiongzhou before, but I didn't think that when I crossed the river, I saw the corpses that stretched for dozens of miles, and no one could find them. Shaanxi Jianer, who didn't feel ashamed? They all came from the same place......"
He finally turned his head to look at Xiao Yan with sincere eyes: "Brother Xiao, I can't speak, so be patient - I am the official reward, Xuan Shuai is valued, and I have to repay the country's kindness in the world. Even if I die, I will think that these thirty years are just a big dream. Why is Brother Xiao doing this? If you steal Zhuozhou, even if you don't have a guarantee, it will be enough for Brother Xiao to make a name for himself in my Song Dynasty. In the future, you will be promoted according to the shift, at least you can be protected by wealth. Brother Xiao, what are you doing for?"
What is it? Xiao Yan can only smile bitterly.
In order to make a fool of yourself, I want to change the tragic history in the past four and a half years. Or is it just because I am ambitious and have the heart of a child in troubled times, but the past was too deeply covered up, and it was truly revealed in this era? Xiao Yan was too lazy to dig deep into the reason. He just felt that this was the life that suited him. He was no longer insignificant, and lived like an ants in a perfect social system, and then was rolled up by waves and disappeared without a trace.
You can be a superman and save the earth...
At the end, Xiao Yan just said softly: "Brother Ma, since I am already here, it's enough, why bother to say anything else? It's my life, this is true. Even if I say anything, can I compare to myself in the fight? In short, what I think is that the Song Dynasty is better, not the Song Dynasty will continue to be bad! I only hope that the Yan land will not be staged in the Song Dynasty Bianliang!"
Ma Kuo just looked at him steadily, suddenly smiled, wrapped his cloak tightly, leaned against the tree and closed his eyes: "I can't understand, Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, I always feel strange in my heart when I look at you, not because I doubt you, but because you seem to have seen something in the future, but you always want to say something. The longer you interact, the stronger the feeling...... Is this really so unbearable in the future? I don't believe it, but I don't believe it..."
Listening to Ma Kuo's words, Xiao Yan was sweating in a cold sweat!
He silently wanted to stand up and stay away from the six senses of Ma Banxian. At this moment, a sound suddenly seemed to float in the night sky, far away but ethereal, and the direction that came was just west of Laishui!
Xiao Yan's body froze, and before he could move, he thought he was too sensitive. He saw the horse behind him, and he had already lifted his cloak and stood up. Not only him, but both the Bai Jian soldiers and the Sheng Jie army in the camp stood up one after another. The sound of the collision of iron armored leaves was crisp and loud in the night. Everyone pressed the swords at their waists and just looked west!
Even the war horses on the side of the camp made a soft neighing sound, raised their ears, and the war horses lying on the ground also stood up, stomped their four hooves, as if they also felt something!
"Liao Gou!" Ma Kuo whispered to himself. He then ordered: "Li Dutou, Commander Qiu!"
The sound of boots came from there, and it was Li Cunzhong who rushed over. They were also neatly dressed, and it seemed that no one could sleep soundly at this time. When they came over, they had already responded in a low voice to Ma Kuo's words: "Liao Dog, Liao Dog!"
Ma Kuo waved his hand and immediately ordered: "Select two people and go to the east bank of Laishui, and come back to the attacker! It must have collided with the Liaogou Brigade! All the places we marked on Laishui that we could traverse were wiped out. Whether to fight or defend, wait for the attacker to come back, I and Xiao Xuanzan will make a decision!"
Li Cunzhong agreed to move, but was pressed by Qiu Huchen. He blackened his face and said softly: "You white soldiers are raising their energy! Fighting in the formation, you old Li is the main force, I will take our troops to pick up Ying'erlang!"
Before Li Cunzhong could reply, Qiu Huchen turned around and left. With a whistle, more than a dozen soldiers from the Scenic Army had already left and rushed to untie the reins. In an instant, they heard the sound of horse hooves. These Victory Army soldiers had already disappeared into the darkness under Qiu Huchen's leadership.
In the camp, everyone was standing there, just turning their eyes to Xiao Yan and the others. Ma Kuo also looked at Xiao Yan with bright eyes: "Brother Xiao, is it a battle or a journey? I am willing to obey your orders on this trip. If there is a miracle, it can only be created by Brother Xiao! If you want to fight, we will have hundreds of children buried our bones on both sides of Lai Shui, what can we do?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan's palm suddenly felt cold sweat. Xiao Gan's reaction was indeed fast. Could it be that he didn't want Yizhou anymore and turned around and wanted to destroy their brave small team. Is it still Yizhou has already stepped down and Guo Yaoshi has already fought?
For some reason, what flashed in his mind at this time was Guo Rong's cold face.
Where is Guo Rong?
At this time, Xiao Yan remembered that since he refused to recommend Guo Rong to the pillow table at the Zhuozhou Office that night, Guo Rong almost never avoided him. This time, he pointed out that he was going to save her father. Guo Rong naturally wanted to go with him. She and Zhen Liuchen were familiar with the mountains and terrain of Zhuoyi and the two states. Ma Kuo and others had some arrangements and had to discuss with them. But whenever Xiao Yan was by Ma Kuo, Guo Rong would talk coldly. In the end, Xiao Yan was too lazy to go. He had never seen a eldest daughter crying and shouting that people would sleep. He was unhappy if he didn't sleep.
In addition to occasionally responding to Ma Kuo and their inquiries, Guo Rong and Zhen Liuchen were marching in the queue during the day, and each person had a tent and rarely came out when camping. Xiao Yan, who was full of thoughts, sometimes really forgot about the existence of Miss Guo.
Guo Rong's tall figure flashed and she had already appeared in the camp. She still had her hair erect and a pair of Liao people with short sleeves, and her waist was covered with thin waists. The soldiers in the camp were all covered with dark iron armor. Only her clothes were as white as snow. But her cool and heroic spirit was just like Xiao Yan when she first met her, and there was no incongruity with the solemn and murderous aura in the camp. This was a girl born into the battle formation.
Her eyes slowly swept, looked at the night sky west, took her long legs and walked over with big strides. Ma Kuo waved his hand slightly, and the soldiers beside her did not stop her. Guo Rong walked over straight, and her voice was sharper than the swords on the soldiers' waists: "In the west of Laishui! The people of Liao are here!"
This time she didn't say anything about the danger of Guo Yaoshi, and forced Xiao Yan to act quickly to save her father, but just talked about the matter and made her judgment. Her pretty face was just stern, without any expression. But Xiao Yan didn't know what kind of effort this girl used to restrain herself!
Is it a fight or a walk?
Since you are the commander of this army, you must believe in your own judgment!
