Seventy miles northeast of Taigu County, beside a tributary of the Fen River, a cavalry force of two thousand people was stationed.
Utu sat by the campfire in low spirits. Today at 10:00 he received a military order from Urzhan Khan, asking him to cooperate with the Tiger Division scouts to clear out the cadre troops around Jinyang. After receiving this military order, Utu was very unhappy. All this happened under Jinyang City, but the good deeds of breaking the city and making meritorious deeds were not his turn.
Utu is in his early forties this year. In terms of combat experience and martial arts skills, there are really not many people in the Leopard Division who can match him. However, he is still a commander of thousands. There is only one reason for this: insufficient military merit.
Finally got a chance to make a meritorious service, but unexpectedly he was sent to this inhospitable place by Urri. For a whole day, Wutu didn't even see a single soldier, let alone an army of soldiers.
For Utu, it only took a day to go from being high-spirited to being depressed. Utu, who was bored, was stabbing the bonfire with the iron gun in his hand...
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. I saw Wu Tu lazily saying: "Go and see who is full and has nothing to do and stays up all night and walks the horse there!"
The soldiers took the order and left, but Wutu didn't even bother to move. He still burned the fire and passed the boring time...
Tu Qishi Shi Zhe Gong, in order to prevent Gan Ren from getting lost, he lost everything he could along the way, except for the two-stone bow in his hand.
The firelight of the camp in front was faintly visible, and the Tuqi Shi Zhe Gong felt relieved. It seemed that the guy Wu Tu was quite reliable, and how could he escape without taking his troops without permission.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there were more than a dozen horsemen in the camp running toward him with torches...
Tuqi Shi Zhegong looked at the Leopard Division cavalry who were surrounding him with their bows and arrows, and said loudly: "Under the Tiger Division's account, Tuqi Shi Zhegong, the hundred-man leader of the scout team, wants to see General Wutu!"
A cavalryman came closer with a torch, looking up and down Tuqi Shi Zhe Gong, but thinking in his heart, "Tu Qi Shi Zhe Gong is a sharpshooter in the Tiger Division. This man abandoned his helmet and armor in such a miserable state, how can he not He must be a fake!" he couldn't help but said loudly.
"Forgive me, General, but please hand over your bow, arrows and scimitar!"
Tu Qi Shi Zhe Gong took off the weapon and threw it to the cavalry, but said: "Keep it safe. If there is any damage, be careful of your life!"
The cavalryman did not show the slightest dissatisfaction. After all, if this person was really the Tuqi Shi Zhegong, he would not be able to offend him. The cavalryman rode his horse to get out of the way and said with a smile: "General, please."
Tu Qi Shi Zhe Gong snorted coldly and urged his horse to run towards the camp...
When Wutu saw Tuqishi Zhegong, he stood up and went to meet him, sighing: "What's wrong with me, are you injured?"
Tuqishi Zhegong waved his hand and said: "It's hard to explain in words! However, Brother Wutu's opportunity to make a contribution has come!"
Hearing the word "meritorious service", Wutu suddenly became energetic. He enthusiastically pulled Tuqishi Zhegong and asked...
When Wutu heard that there was a large number of Ganren cavalry troops around Taigu County, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He didn't even bother to ask why the Tuqi Shi Zhe Gong was in such a mess. Instead, he got up and asked The whole army sets off.
Tuqishi Zhegong saw Wutu's eagerness to make a contribution, and pointed to the sky and said: "Brother Wutu, don't worry, it's still early in the day!"
Wu Tu then slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Brother is all confused. Judging from the look on my face, I must have gone through a hard battle. I must be starving now! Someone, bring some food and drinks."
Wutu didn't say he was hungry, but Tuqishi Zhegong didn't think anything of it. As soon as Wutu mentioned it, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily...
Beside the campfire, while eating and drinking, Tuqi Shi Zhe Gong briefly talked about the battle that took place today. However, he did not say that his scout team was crippled by a Ganren general. He was imprisoned on the head of the cavalry of the division letter.
Wutu frowned and said: "Ganren's cavalry is so powerful? Could it be that Daxing's elite have already arrived around Jinyang?"
Even if Wu Tu was eager to perform meritorious service, he would not be so stupid as to use his two thousand cavalry to give military merit to others. Wu Tu calmed down and thought about it and said: "That's not right! When I came here, my Khan said that the people from Daxing City It will take five days at the earliest for the elite troops to reach Taiyuan County! Could it be that what I encountered were Daqianfu soldiers?"
Wu Tu said and looked at Tuqi Shi Zhe Gong in confusion.
The foreigners knew very well what a shameful state the soldiers of the Daqian Dynasty were. It stands to reason that in a field battle, even if the enemy's troops were several times as powerful as the Tiger Division's scout team, they would never end up like this. Besides, the sudden cavalry attack· Zhe Gong's archery skills are not just in vain. He has real skills. How could he fail so miserably?
Wu Tu felt that Tu Qishi Zhe Gong must be hiding something, but he couldn't find it in his mouth to reveal it, so he could only waste his time thinking about it.
Wutu hadn't figured it out yet, but an arrow opened his mind and made him understand...
"Whoosh——"
The arrows tore through the night, and a cold star flashed through the firelight. Wutu only had time to withdraw his head to dodge, and the sharp cluster of arrows flew past his forehead...
Wutu felt a coldness on his forehead and touched it. At the same time, he rolled over to the ground and rolled behind the tent. He opened his hand and took a look, and couldn't help but cursed inwardly, "Damn it! If I hadn't been so alert, this arrow would have killed me." His life is dead! No wonder Tuqi Shi Zhe Gong was in such a mess and refused to tell the truth. It turned out that he met a sharpshooter who was more powerful than him!".
Utu shouted at the top of his lungs: "That man is in the southwest, three hundred steps away, so be smart, others will lose their lives if they don't find him!"
Foreigners are good at shooting, not only can they shoot accurately, they can accurately determine the direction and distance of the enemy as long as they hear the sound of arrows piercing the air. This is much better than Ganren.
Tu Qishi Zhe Gong didn't say much. Mao Yao dodged and moved forward in the camp until he was nearly 150 steps away. Then he took out the arrow, tore off the linen cloth on the tent, wrapped it in the arrow cluster, ignited it, and shot an arrow. passed...
Listening to the sound, this is a basic skill that a marksman should possess, so the arrow of Tu Qi Shi Zhe Gong was very accurate, flying close to the ear of the sneak attack. Although the arrow did not hit the target, Tu Qi Shi Zhe Gong's arrow was very accurate. Qi Shi Zhe Gong used the faint firelight on the arrow clusters to see clearly the appearance of the sneak attacker...
"It's indeed him!"
Seeing the sneak attacker clearly, Tu Qi Shi Zhe Gong sneered and shouted towards Wu Tu: "General Ganren Cavalry, this man is very good at archery. Brother Wu Tu, don't underestimate the enemy!"
Wu Tu secretly cursed in his heart, "I almost lost my life, but you still underestimated the enemy!", and saw Wu Tu yelling: "Two teams of people, double-teamed on the left and right, find that person's horse and kill it for me! I don't see it." If you break your horse, where will you run at first light?"
Wu Tu's voice was very loud and could be heard far away at night. I saw the young Ganren general on the hillock. After hearing Wu Tu's words, he thought about it for a long time, then turned around and ran away...
Li Taiping and the old Taoist priest spent a lot of time in Mobei, the grassland. They knew a few sentences in each ethnic group's dialect. Although they were not proficient, they could understand it if they listened carefully.
"If you want to kill my horse, go ahead and have your sweet spring and autumn dreams!"
Li Taiping cursed secretly and ran towards his horse. Now that he had discovered the location of the foreign cavalry, it was time to withdraw. After all, he was alone and could not cause much damage to the established foreign cavalry. There was no need to die with them.
Knock, I lost my life here in the end. It's just a pity that the arrow didn't bear fruit, that foreign general.
When Li Taiping rushed back to the camp, it was already dark and the soldiers had already started cooking early.
When the soldiers saw Li Taiping, they were very frightened. Liu Datou was the first to rush forward, his brows were furrowed, and the eyebrows were completely connected, and the pair of
His big hands were all over Li Taiping's body, and he kept mumbling.
"Where is the general injured? Is it serious? The same is true for the division letter. The general is injured like this. How can the general be allowed to pursue the enemy alone? What if something goes wrong!"
Liu Datou was really a little anxious, not only because the young captain was approachable and took Liu Datou seriously, but also because this young man regarded poor men like them as brothers from the bottom of his heart.
Between people, they can actually feel whether their feelings are fake or true, and at least at this moment, Liu Datou's words and deeds come from the heart.
Li Taiping relaxed his brows, smiled slightly and said, "It's not a problem, it's just a few flesh injuries. A good meal will heal them!"
"It's not enough to be full, you have to have a good meal! Goudan, Heizi, if the general doesn't have meat for this breakfast, I will skin you two and stew them!"
Hearing the captain's words, Goudan smiled quickly and said: "Boss, just watch it!"
Li Taiping was about to stop him, but Liu Datou held him back. Liu Datou smiled and cursed: "Those two bastards used to be hunters in the mountains. They would go out to hunt wild food secretly when they had nothing to do. Leave this matter to them. It's too late for them to be happy."
Woolen cloth!"
Li Taiping shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "After breakfast, send someone smarter to Shi Han. Tell Shi Han that there is a foreign cavalry seventy miles away. There are about one or two thousand cavalry. There is a high probability.
Will come to us!"
Hearing Li Taiping's words, Liu Datou was really startled and said in astonishment: "So many! How about we withdraw to Taigu County?"
Everyone is afraid of death, and Liu Datou is no exception. You know, not to mention two thousand riders, even one thousand riders, if you eat fifty of them, you don't even have to pick your teeth.
Li Taiping shook his head and said: "Retreating to Taigu County is obviously not possible. Even if Zheng Tianqi agrees, the division letter will not agree! The mission of the A-shaped legion is to defend the line and not allow the foreign cavalry to escape from Jinyang. If we withdraw
, I think Dugu Lie will definitely chop off our heads!"
Liu Datou felt very confused and said: "What can we do? We are fighting with the cavalry in the field. Not to mention our small number, even if the soldiers of Xunyang County plus the cavalry of the division letter are not enough, it is not enough for them to eat."
!”
As he spoke, Liu Datou sat down on the wall with a helpless smile. Because Liu Datou could not solve this deadlock, Dugu Lie would have his head chopped off if he withdrew. If he did not withdraw, the foreign cavalry would also chop his head off.
, no matter how you say it, it’s a death.
Under the same sky, it is not just Liu Datou, an inconspicuous soldier, who is troubled, but even the aloof emperor of Daxing City, I, am also one with two heads at this time...
