Devil’s Advent

the next day,

The originally two-person fleeing team became four people.

Jiang Hu had a pack horse carrying some things, and two women walked with the pack horse on both sides of the pack horse.

front,

Jiang Hu opened the way, and Zheng Fan followed behind him.

This walk lasted almost the whole day, and at dusk, the big guys stopped to prepare for camping.

The princess has a strong ability to adapt, and now she can bear this kind of load. Gongsun Ling looked weak last night, but she was very tenacious in her bones, and she gritted her teeth and survived.

When camping, Jiang Hu went to the outside to make some traps and whistles as a warning, while Gongsun Ling was lighting a fire.

Uncle Zheng took a piece of smoked meat, walked to a stream in front, and began to clean it.

The princess also came, and some upstream began to fetch water.

"How about it, with Jiang Hu leading the way, doesn't it feel a lot easier?"

After all, the princess belongs to the daughter's family. It's no wonder that she is smart. She is really smart, but there is still a little childishness left on her body.

From Zheng Fan's point of view, she is actually about the same aptitude as the princess, and what she lacks is experience.

The princess is the master who can lead the Zhenbei army to walk in the desert at a young age and kill people and tribes at every turn.

The princess has been living in the deep palace,

The former is indeed excellent, but the latter still has a lot of room for growth.

"Your green python should be very famous." Zheng Fan asked while washing the bacon.

"Yeah, what's the matter, I led it to me at the beginning, but it caused a sensation, even the emperor praised me."

"You are so famous, and you have been domesticated by the Beastmaster. Although Jiang Hu's surname is not Gongsun, he is the old man of the Beastmaster after all. It's normal for him not to know you;

But will it not recognize your green python? "

The princess blinked her eyes twice, and said, "You mean, he actually recognized our identities a long time ago?"

"Probably, and look at our attitude as fugitives. When we saw someone calling for help, we just shot her an arrow to free her;

Jiang Hu and Gongsun Ling were also fugitives, so they faced people who needed help by taking us back to have supper and rest.

or,

Maybe we are too evil? so bad?

And they are kind people? "

"So, he actually wanted to bargain with us a long time ago. For the convenience of this, he pretended not to know each other at first?"

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Bargaining, it is normal for one to sing bad faces and the other to sing bad faces.

Uncle Zheng is not afraid of other people's demands, and everyone takes what they need, that is, to achieve their goals.

"Then what else could they possibly do?"

"They are different from you and me. Your reputation is already rotten."

"……"Princess.

"As for me, I am the Earl of the Yan Kingdom. Even if your brother gives me a high official and rich salary, to be honest, as a descendant, the best ending is to be enshrined there as a plaque. It is far less easy and free than I am in the Yan Kingdom. comfortable.

Therefore, it is impossible for you and I to turn back, and it is impossible for us to be willing to stay in Chu State.

but they are different,

The Gongsun family helped the eldest prince to deal with your brother, and your brother suppressed them. As the winner, I think your brother has that kind of high profile.

If they capture the two of us and give them to your brother, your brother will definitely pardon them, and it won't be a big deal if the officials are reinstated. "

The princess's expression suddenly became serious. She was still complacent about her performance last night, but she didn't expect this level.

In fact, Uncle Zheng didn't think so deeply at the beginning last night, but when he was sleeping, he thought about it.

In the final analysis, it was because Uncle Zheng was unwilling to trust others in his heart. Earlier, even at home, he had to fight wits and courage with the demon kings.

"Then aren't we in danger now?"

Obviously, the princess, like Uncle Zheng, doesn't like the feeling that life and death are in the hands of others.

"There is a way."

...

time to eat,

Still bacon and vermicelli.

Gongsun Ling probably doesn't know how to cook, but still likes to stew randomly.

But now I'm running for my life, so let's just make do with it.

when eating,

Zheng Fan first said:

"Actually, think about it, if you stay in Chu State, it would be very good. Chu State has good mountains, rivers and scenery."

Gongsun Ling flattered her and said:

"If Uncle Zheng stays in the state of Chu, the regent will think highly of Uncle Zheng."

"Should be, but I don't dare to give me any real power. The most likely thing is to be brought by the regent's side, install a memorial archway, or play chess with the regent and talk, and be a close minister."

Hearing this, Jiang Hu paused slightly.

The princess said: "I did this kind of thing this time. I eloped with another man on the wedding day. If Brother Huang catches me, he will definitely lock me up in a dark room like he did when he was a child."

Gongsun Ling said: "Her Royal Highness is the regent's younger sister after all. No matter what things Her Royal Highness has done or done, the Regent will not be really angry with Her Royal Highness."

The princess smiled when she heard this, hugged Zheng Fan's shoulders, and said:

"That's what I said, but I don't regret it. Who told me to fall in love with him, just like Brother Hu Zi fell in love with Sister A Ling. This is the right thing to do, just like the one in the songbook. Generally, what is invisible and intangible on weekdays, once the time comes, it really must be him."

A Ling glanced at Jiang Hu, and a smile appeared on her face.

Human hearts are made of flesh.

As Miss Gongsun,

Maybe she looked down on Jiang Hu before, but now, she knows that Jiang Hu is the capital of her life.

Whether fleeing in Chu or going to Yan, she had to rely on Jiang Hu.

If you lick a dog to this extent, it's almost like a roaring dog.

Jiang Hu smiled, and said: "Uncle, Your Highness, we will definitely be able to get out of this mountain and return to Yan Country, because in Yan Country, Uncle can truly display his talents.

The villain has also thought about it carefully, the villain actually doesn't care if the Beastmaster is reset or not. "

Hearing this, Gongsun Ling looked at Jiang Hu in surprise.

"The villain hopes that the uncle can take him in. From now on, he will let the villain follow the uncle and raise monsters for the uncle in Xueguan. There are also a lot of monsters in the Tianduan Mountain Range."

What Zheng Fan said earlier meant that even if I was arrested and returned to Chu, the regent would push me to the front, and the regent would definitely value me.

The princess understood and followed up. She is the regent's younger sister. To put it bluntly, even if she failed to rebel, the regent would not kill her, but would only imprison her.

We were captured back to Chu, but we are still masters. Even if you, Jiang Hu, captured us and performed meritorious service, you are still just ordinary courtiers. It is very simple to kill you and take revenge on you.

Jiang Hu obviously understood the warning and expressed his loyalty.

The warnings and precautions from both sides completed a round of confrontation in a peaceful manner.

For the next ten days, the mountain road was difficult to walk, but Jiang Hu opened the way, and the two women were very competitive, so the four of them moved very fast, and there were no accidents along the way.

Oh, except that the vermicelli was finished.

After eating the vermicelli, everyone began to rely on hunting to eat. Previously, they had harvested a lot of prey along the way, and at the same time, the green python would come over from time to time to give some of its "leftovers", so there was no shortage of food and drink.

It's just wild game. Eating it for many days at once is really a huge burden on the stomach.

This morning, the four of them were still moving forward, but Qing Mang suddenly rushed out and stopped in front of everyone.

Generally speaking, green pythons seldom show up during the day.

Jiang Hu immediately lay down on the ground, with his ears on the ground, and said:

"Horse hooves, there are a lot of people."

actually,

Now the four of them are about to walk out of the mountain, and the front is regarded as the remnant of the mountain, that is, they are about to enter the area where the Yan and Chu countries confront each other.

Having a premonition that cavalrymen were coming, Jiang Hu immediately hid the pack horses, and everyone also avoided them.

Soon, a Chu cavalry with a number of about one hundred appeared. They did not stop and continued to gallop westward.

Uncle Zheng immediately said to Jiang Hu who was beside him: "This is the vanguard sentinel, we have to move now."

Whenever a large army marches out, there must be a vanguard army. The vanguard army opens up roads and builds bridges when encountering mountains and rivers. This is the key for the army to open up blind spots on the battlefield.

And after the army set up camp, the sentry cavalry will be further subdivided to obtain a wider field of vision.

Therefore, right now, there should be a large Chu army marching here.

If you don't hurry up and leave here now, the four of you will probably be included by the large Chu army, and you won't be able to run if you want to.

Uncle Zheng immediately took the three of them to the south together, that is to say, he turned back, because he might encounter the Chu army if he went north, east or west, so he would rather go out of the mountain two days later to ensure his own safety.

However, not long after Uncle Zheng and the others had just headed south, things changed, or called, a turning point.

There was a cavalry of the Chu army galloping from west to east, which should be the opposite of the one encountered earlier, and behind them, Uncle Zheng saw black armored cavalry chasing them.

God sees you as a pity,

After seeing the familiar armor of the knights of the Jingnan Army, Uncle Zheng's eyes were a little moist.

This is really not a pretense, but since he escaped on the day of his wedding, from Zhou County to now, for nearly a month, Uncle Zheng has not been accompanied by a demon king besides the magic pill, which can be said to be a real one. I was worried, but right now, seeing the cavalry of the Jingnan Army, I really felt the kindness of a wanderer who left his hometown and returned to his hometown.

"Not good, Yan Jun!"

Jiang Hu shouted instinctively.

immediately,

Zheng Fan looked at him.

Jiang Hu also looked at Zheng Fan, a middle-aged hunter with a twitching expression on his face.

This is his habit and instinct, but now, he has deviated from Chu State, but his position has not been completely reversed due to inertia.

According to Uncle Zheng's analysis of the current situation, it should be that the two armies of the two sides met during the rapid march, which is the so-called...encounter.

When the vanguards of both sides see the vanguard of the other side, their first reaction is always to send one or two knights back to report to the coach, and then directly charge towards the other side to eat the vanguard of the other side.

Because of encounters, it is impossible to give you too much time to react and plan, and if even the vanguard is surprised, the rear coach must be surprised too. A scuffle is likely to erupt, and in a scuffle At the beginning, eating the opponent's vanguard sentinel is equivalent to blacking out the opponent's vision, so that your coach can stay more clear than the opponent in the melee.

Of course, in addition to the choice of tactical advantages and disadvantages, there is another reason, that is, the Dayan cavalry has always had a strong self-confidence of "the best cavalry in the world", especially the two troops of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army.

Since it's a melee, go straight up, first defeat the opponent's sentry cavalry, then defeat the opponent's vanguard, and then let the enemy's defeated army retreat to the original side, forming a rolling bead curtain, and the soldiers and horses behind rush forward , the enemy is likely to be defeated serially in such a muddled manner.

Don't think this is whimsical. In fact, it is not uncommon for two or three thousand cavalry to directly defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops. Times, ten fight one, it must be able to win, everyone has two arms and one head, but they often lose in such a muddle-headed way.

The most classic battle example is the one where the first Marquis of Zhenbei defeated 30,000 troops and led to 500,000 Northern Expeditionary troops. It was an almost 20-to-1 military power ratio, and at that time, the Qian Kingdom was just founded and it was the second largest army. The acting emperor, who led the elite troops that his elder brother used to conquer the world during the founding of the country, just threw away his helmet and armor in such a muddle-headed manner, and achieved the prestige of the Zhenbei Army as the number one in the world.

at this time,

Zheng Boye and others are located on a hillside, with a relatively flat canyon below, and the field of view for watching the battle is good.

The princess asked curiously:

"Why don't you go down and say hello?"

The princess was the one who changed her position the fastest. To be honest, the princess has never suffered from the turbulent fleeing in the past month. Now seeing Yan Jun, she is the second most excited.

Because it is conceivable that if she follows Zheng Fan back to Yandi, firstly, she will be canonized by Emperor Yan, and secondly, she can live in the Earl's Mansion of Xueguan. According to her, she accompanied Zheng Fan all the way and looked at Zheng Fan as "more" than herself. "Princess disease" squeamishness,

She felt that her days in the Earl's Mansion might not be so ceremonious, but her standard of living and quality were definitely not bad.

Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:

"Now I'm going down. For them, it's hard to tell the enemy from us. That's not good."

"Oh, I see."

The princess felt that she had increased her knowledge because she believed in her man's ability to lead troops to fight. In terms of military affairs, what her man said must be right.

But the actual situation is that the battle below looks like a small group of cavalry from the Yan army is aggressive, but it may not be able to win this small-scale encounter. Uncle Zheng feels that there may be problems if he goes down to say hello now.

as expected,

Behind this Yan army cavalry, a group of nearly a hundred Chu cavalry suddenly came out, and the chasing Chu cavalry in front also immediately turned their horses, and began to cooperate with the comrades following behind to attack the Yan army.

Seeing this, Jiang Hu excitedly grabbed the stone in front of him.

In his heart, he was cheering for the Chu army's victory.

The princess licked her lips. She would be excited to see Yan Jun appear, but now that Chu Jun has the upper hand, she can't feel sad.

Uncle Zheng also noticed the political stance of the two "Chu people" around him,

But this is human nature, and Uncle Zheng also understands.

However, looking at Jiang Hu's excitement, Uncle Zheng just shook his head slightly, because he had roughly calculated that there were more than 200 cavalrymen from the Chu Army fleeing ahead, and more than 200 soldiers from the Yan Army who were chasing them. The Chu army who came in also looked like two hundred people.

The ratio of everyone's numbers is two to one, maybe the Chu army is slightly higher, but it is definitely not three to one.

Although the Yan army was flanked by front and back and was at a strategic disadvantage, but...

Uncle Zheng silently took out the Zhonghua brand tin box and took out a cigarette. This time, he lit it.

The princess looked at Zheng Fan, worried and said:

"Below, maybe..."

Uncle Zheng exhaled a smoke ring and said casually, "Hehe, this is the Jingnan Army."

Faced with this situation, the Colonel of the Yan Army below immediately gave the order to continue charging, and all the Yan Army knights in the front line supported their horses.

It is the most sensible choice to continue to attack and defend behind regardless of division of troops.

As soon as the cavalry of the Chu Army in front just turned around and rushed back, there was no time to re-start their horsepower, and they kept chasing from their own side, just in time to rush forward like a rainbow!

Secondly, the way of thinking of cavalry combat is to be fast, ruthless and accurate, and the commanding generals of cavalry seldom think about such things as "being comprehensive".

hit,

It happened quickly.

in an instant,

Cavaliers on both sides continued to fall off their horses, but under a round of impact, it was obvious that the knights of the Yan army were more capable of riding and horse fighting and charging. This Chu army was directly pierced, and the middle part was defeated. A little confused, and because this is a canyon area, the space on both sides is limited, so it also hinders the progress of the Chu army cavalry behind.

Even, many Chu soldiers in the rear stopped and dismounted, apparently intending to save their own robes, and at the same time impatiently made amends to the knights of the Yan army who had fallen from their horses in the previous collision.

It means that the Chu army that was originally chasing after it was scattered all of a sudden.

The Chu army knights who wanted to continue the pursuit also had to rein in;

At this time, the knights of the Yan Army, who had already completed a piercing, changed the rear team to the front team under the order of the school captain. The original horses of the front team had been damaged or lost, but the rear team just kept them, and the horses were brought up again. lance.

Generally speaking, the equipment of the vanguard army is often the best. A large army with the strongest combat effectiveness is the direct line of troops led by the vanguard army and the commander himself.

The Yan army did not bandage the wounds, nor did they care about the casualties after the previous round of piercing, but immediately began to speed up and launch a new round of charge, and began to integrate the queue during the charge, so as to shorten the time as much as possible.

The second round of charge begins.

However, some of the knights of the Chu army began to charge to fight, some began to evade, and some began to wait for the order of the superior to line up, completely out of touch.

Next, is the second drilling!

There were endless screams.

The Chu army was defeated, and the rest, those with horses, started to flee, while those without horses waited to be taken away by the knights of the Yan army when their horses passed by.

Jiang Hu gritted his teeth, and finally let out a sigh.

He had to admit that the Yan Army's cavalry was powerful.

The princess also bit her lip. She had seen the guards next to Uncle Zheng on the day of the wedding. They were very powerful and disciplined, but she felt that those people were carefully selected to follow Zheng Fan into Chu.

But right now, it was a random encounter. The Chu army, which had twice the number, was completely defeated, and the total casualties of the Yan people were less than a hundred.

In other words, the Yan people defeated more than 400 Chu cavalry at a cost of less than a hundred casualties.

Uncle Zheng stretched himself,

Glancing at the three Chu people beside him,

road:

"Dayan iron cavalry, unparalleled in field battles."

how to say,

The Jingnan Military Academy lieutenant below, it's ok, it's good for Benbo!

The princess immediately asked:

"Snow customs cavalry, compared to them..."

Jiang Hu also looked at Zheng Fan when he heard the words. Obviously, he also wanted to know the answer.

Uncle Zheng smiled,

road:

"There are some gaps."

"Oh." The princess nodded.

Jiang Hu also nodded, there was a little difference, but it was normal.

"It's not the difference in soldiers. I, Xuehai Iron Cavalry, are no worse than the Jingnan Army in terms of combat power and quality."

Originally, the quality of the soldiers was extremely high, and now that Liang Cheng had another two months of training, Zheng Fan felt that the Xuehai Iron Cavalry must now be formed.

After all, this is not starting from scratch. The barbarian cavalry and the three Jin knights are all extremely excellent sources of soldiers.

"The only gap is the gap between me and the Marquis of Jingnan."

This is not self-effacing,

In front of the Marquis of Jingnan,

Uncle Zheng is a younger brother.

Of course,

Uncle Zheng didn't think there was any shame in being the younger brother of the Marquis of Jingnan. No matter how old Tian didn't talk to others, he really had nothing to say to himself.

...

Uncle Zheng stood on the hillside, calling out to the Yan army below who had just finished fighting and was quickly clearing the battlefield.

Soon, several knights rode up, pointed at Zheng Fan and the others with their bows and arrows.

Zheng Fan stepped forward,

look at them,

preparing to reveal his identity.

Who would have thought that one of the centurions would get off his horse and kneel down immediately after seeing Zheng Fan:

"See Uncle Hirano for the humble position, Uncle, are you back?"

Obviously, the centurion had seen Zheng Fan and remembered Zheng Fan's appearance, although Uncle Zheng didn't remember him.

However, this also omits a series of processes and cutscenes such as reporting identities, being suspected, self-certification, and being suspected again.

Afterwards, the captain of the Yan Army cavalry saluted Zheng Fan,

Uncle Zheng reached out and patted his shoulder,

The other party was flattered,

Uncle Zheng also specifically asked his name, surnamed Mao.

On the first day of his return, this guy gave himself a face, and he directly saved himself too much trouble, so naturally he should be encouraged, or he might as well dig into his snow customs.

Afterwards, this cavalry no longer performed combat missions, but became the guards escorting Uncle Zheng and others back to Dazhai.

When it was almost dusk, Uncle Zheng was escorted to Dazhai. What made Zheng Fan very excited was that the Marquis of Jingnan was currently in the tent of the Chinese army commander.

call,

After knowing that Jingnan Hou is also here,

Uncle Zheng really felt that he was safe!

The Marquis of Jingnan learned the news in advance and ordered Zheng Fan and others to come directly to the tent of the Chinese army commander.

In fact, even if he didn't issue this order, Uncle Zheng wanted to go directly to the commanding account of the Chinese army, even if Marquis Jingnan was discussing battles, no one from the guards outside would stop Uncle Zheng.

Because everyone knows the relationship between Uncle Hirano and his own lord.

Enter handsome account,

Jingnan Hou sat behind the handsome desk,

I haven't seen him for more than two months, but Jingnan Hou's appearance has not changed.

"At the end of the day, I will see Lord Jingnan!"

Zheng Fan saluted first.

"See Lord Jingnan!"

The princess also bowed.

Jiang Hu and Gongsun Ling knelt behind.

The princess is better, after all, she is the princess who has seen the real world.

Jiang Hu and Gongsun Ling were completely intimidated by Jingnanhou's aura and prestige and did not dare to raise their heads. The shadow of a famous tree can calm their minds in front of Jingnanhou. There are not many in this world.

"The last time this Marquis received news was that you planned to rob the Princess of Chu during her wedding?"

This is a message from Fan's family, but the news is obviously delayed.

One is because it is close to Zhennan Pass, which is a battlefield, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the rear;

The second is that after robbing the relatives, the Chu people frantically blocked and searched Mengshan and Qishan, so that the messengers of the Fan family could not continue to deliver news here.

Therefore, the Marquis of Jingnan only knew that Zheng Fan planned to rob his relatives, the princess's relatives.

Below, it's gone.

Even the Marquis of Jingnan didn't know if this relative had been robbed or not, and he didn't know if Zheng Fan had died or was still alive.

what he can do,

Just keep trying to put pressure on the Chu army in Zhennanguan.

Hearing this question,

Uncle Zheng immediately raised his head, with a smile on his face, he pointed to Xiong Liqing beside him and said:

"Master Hou, this is the Fourth Princess of Chu, the younger sister of the Prince Regent of Chu."

If Zheng Fan told the truth, it must be true, because Zheng Fan would not lie to Jingnanhou if he lied to anyone, and Jingnanhou was very obvious and knew this.

Xiong Liqing will worship again immediately,

road:

"Big Chu Xiong Liqing, I have met Lord Jingnan, Lord Jingnan Fukang."

Tian Wujing sitting behind the handsome desk,

Looking at Princess Da Chu kneeling below,

corner of mouth,

Slowly revealed a touch of arc,

road:

"Don't call me Master Hou."

Xiong Liqing looked at Jingnanhou in a daze, and then looked at Zheng Fan who was beside her. She didn't know what Jingnanhou's words meant. She was dissatisfied with herself, and she planned to punish herself, or Yes, express disdain for yourself, the princess of the Chu country?

Tian Wujing continued:

"Call me brother."
