Devil’s Advent

Chapter 98

In the sky, the dawn was already faintly visible, and Zheng Fan and the others also saw the shadows of the Suibao group in front of them. In the next step, as long as they passed through the piece of Suibao in front, they would be considered as returning to the territory of Yan Kingdom.

It's just running around all day and night, even if one person and two horses are exhausted. Under Liang Cheng's suggestion, to be on the safe side, let everyone stop to rest by a stream beach, let people take a few breaths, and let the horses take a breather After a few breaths, at the same time, the sentinel sent out to investigate the situation.

By the side of the stream, Zheng Fan pointed to the wound on Liang Cheng's abdomen, and said:

"Do you want me to help you take out that gun point?"

Liang Cheng shook his head and said, "Take it after you get back. If you take it now, it will easily affect yourself."

"Um."

Zheng Fan knew that Liang Cheng was still extremely vigilant at this time.

Originally, the greatest reliance of myself and others - the night, has gone away from everyone, and the light will rule this land again.

Although, at least what the frontier army of the Qian Kingdom saw along the way was useless, but they were sailing carefully for ten thousand years, and they were only a step away from going home, so they should be careful.

The crowd rested for more than an hour by the river beach, and Liang Cheng ordered the crowd to put on their armor and mount their horses again after the sentry riders who had been released came back one by one to report that there was nothing wrong with the front.

From Zheng Fan's point of view, the next step is to go straight through the Suibao area and return to the country of Yan and Cuiliubao.

But when everyone was getting ready, Liang Cheng raised his hand and shouted in barbaric language:

"east!"

Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment, isn't Xiang Bei?

To the north is the country of Yan, while to the east, it is equivalent to a parallel military parade along the Suibao line of the country of Qian.

The barbarians were also a little surprised, but their good training quality still allowed them to obey the order. The cavalry began to turn their horses around, and started galloping eastward while maintaining their formation.

While riding his horse, Zheng Fan glanced at Liang Cheng beside him, but he didn't ask anything, and Liang Cheng didn't say anything, but, when the crowd was galloping eastward for less than a quarter of an hour, a gun appeared behind them. Pursuing cavalry!

This is the cavalry of the Qian Kingdom!

The number is unknown, but looking at it from a distance, it is estimated that it must be much more than the number of people in my own family.

Calculating the distance, direction and time, it is very likely that these cavalry were ambushing in the Suibao group that they planned to charge out before!

Perhaps it was because he found that he was sneaking eastward, and the opponent's waiting for a rabbit was not completed, so he had to rush out of the flint fortress to pursue him.

Two cavalry teams launched a chase scene on this plain.

At this time, the importance of the previous rest is reflected. People are actually fine. The barbarians under Zheng Fan are from the prisoner tribe. You can let them run around for three days and three nights without closing their eyes. There is no problem. talent.

But if the war horse under the crotch does not get enough rest, it will lay down its hooves.

Because of the rest, when chasing, everyone can change horses, let the second horse carry the other horse and rest on the side.

It's a bit like an aerial refueling machine, skilled equestrian skills allow the brutal soldiers under Zheng Fan to switch easily and flexibly when they are moving fast.

And the Qianguo cavalry team obviously didn't have such resources, nor did they have such equestrian advantages, so they were gradually distanced by Zheng Fan's side.

The pursuit lasted for about two hours, and within half the morning, Zheng Fan and the others finally got rid of the Qianguo cavalry behind them.

"rest!"

Liang Cheng gave the order to rest again. On the one hand, the physical fitness of the people and horses is similar to the gasoline of the armored troops of later generations, and it is impossible to squeeze them out in one go.

On the other hand, it is now within the territory of Qianguo, if you focus on running around, God knows where you and others will go.

When dismounting, Zheng Fan only felt a burning pain in his inner thigh. His equestrian skills have actually improved a lot during this period, but this is the first time for this kind of long-distance and high-intensity dashing. Physically, it’s okay. It's the soft flesh on the inner thighs, and it's a bit pretentious because it hasn't developed thick calluses yet.

A barbarian took the initiative to take Zheng Fan's horse to feed and take care of it. Zheng Fan nodded and smiled at the barbarian. The barbarian was startled, and hurriedly bowed to Zheng Fan several times with his hands folded.

Zheng Fan took out two handfuls of fried noodles from his pocket and began to stuff them into his mouth.

This kind of fried noodles is not the kind of fried noodles of later generations, but purely fried "flour". The taste is just like that.

"My lord." Liang Cheng saw Zheng Fan walking towards him while eating fried noodles, and immediately said: "Before, my subordinates asked the sentry to go to the front of the Suibao to investigate the situation. In fact, they were exposing them to the Suibao. Among them, unless all the flint castles in that area are full of chicken castles like the first one we touched when we came in, it will definitely alarm the guards in the flint castle."

Zheng Fan heard the words, nodded, understood, and said:

"Is it because there is no wolf smoke?"

"Yes, my lord, it's okay to have wolf smoke and fight grass to startle snakes. We probably already know the situation in Suibao. There are insufficient troops and insufficient training. With those Suibao, it is almost impossible to draw strength quickly to stop us. possible.

And the army in other nearby places wanted to set off to support them after seeing the wolf smoke, but it was beyond their reach.

Therefore, we can rush back to the country of Yan with the smoke of the war, but there is no smoke at all, so that the subordinates can conclude that there should be problems ahead. "

"Understood." Zheng Fan nodded.

Let professional people do professional things to avoid jokes. Zheng Fan felt that if he really led the team, he might have been surrounded by the Qianguo cavalry under Suibao by now.

The anti-pornography operation of Cuiliubao Police Station will also "collapse in the middle"...

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Fan laughed and said, "It seems that Qianguo is not full of idiots."

"My lord, after all, we captured a city. However, the opponent's general reacted so quickly, and even directly predicted our return route and arranged an ambush in advance, which proves that he is indeed capable."

"After all, in such a big country, it's unrealistic if it's full of wine bags and rice bags, so what should we do next?"

Before, Liang Cheng usually came to ask Zheng Fan this question.

But now it is the turn of Zheng Fan, the leader, to ask professionals for advice. The reality is not a game, and there is no chance to start over with coins.

"Master, after resting for half an hour, let's make a circle from the south, and then go back through the previous opening."

"Isn't that called surprise?"

"We have a small number of people. This is our disadvantage. In fact, it is also our advantage. In fact, if we can leave the remains of the dead soldiers and the wounded soldiers, our speed will be faster."

Zheng Fan shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "We haven't reached that point yet, and our horses are actually enough. Carrying the dead body and the wounded can also maintain morale."

"The Lord is wise."

In fact, Liang Cheng just made a suggestion, and it was up to Zheng Fan to accept it or not.

Zheng Fan whispered again:

"Even if you want to drop the wounded ones, you have to wait for those wounded ones to come forward and willingly stay to block the rear in order not to delay everyone's speed.

It's better to put a knife on your neck again, and they will commit suicide if we don't leave.

Then I touch some more tears, step back three times, and then we will go. "

"..." Liang Cheng.

"Actually, I don't want to have that time."

"I don't want to either. In fact, I had a bit of a grudge against them at the beginning. After fighting battles together, I suddenly felt that my previous understanding was a bit too one-sided."

At this moment, a barbarian rode over, dismounted, saluted Zheng Fan, and reported:

"Master, a horse team appeared five miles to the northeast."

"Horse team? Is it a team from a business company?"

On the frontier of the Qian Kingdom, the population is actually not that large, probably because the first Marquis of Zhenbei led his cavalry to the three counties on the border of the Qian Kingdom a hundred years ago, creating a "ten rooms and nine empty spaces".

Later, Qianguo simply built the Northland as the front line of the war, and stopped immigrating here, which saved Yanguo even more.

Therefore, in the northern part of the Qian Kingdom, they are basically military households, which are somewhat similar to the Zhenbei Houfu.

However, because of the Silk Road, caravans have come and gone frequently over the years.

"Reporting to the master, it's not like a caravan. The carriages in the team seem to be transporting nobles."

Zheng Fan heard this, looked at Liang Cheng, and said:

"Shall we go and see?"

Liang Cheng looked at the sentry horse and asked:

"How many people are there?"

"There are no more than a hundred guards."

Liang Cheng nodded and said to Zheng Fan:

"My lord, make up your mind."

…………

"Mom, dad is really too, we mother and daughter were asked to pack up our things and go back to our hometown before dawn in the morning, we were all sleepy."

In the carriage, a sixteen-year-old girl complained to the graceful lady in her early thirties beside her.

"You, you, you are not young anymore, and you have reached the age to leave the court. Why are you so ignorant? It was your father who received an urgent report saying that something happened to Mianzhou City in the west. Your father is worried. The war is about to start, first send our mother and daughter back to keep us safe."

"Is there going to be a war? Is it against the Yan people?"

The woman frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said:

"I hope not."

But Qianguo is in the north, besides the Yan people, who else is there to fight against?

It's impossible for the barbarians to cross the entire Yan Kingdom to kill and plunder the Qian Kingdom, right?

"Mother, if we leave now, will it..." The girl was still afraid when she heard that there was going to be a war.

"Silly girl, Mianzhou City is far away from us. Something happened there, and it won't affect us for a while, but you, the female celebrity, have to pick it up carefully, so as not to go into someone's door and be gossiped by others , when the time comes, your father and I will be laughed at by the in-laws for not being able to teach our children."

"Mother, my daughter won't marry. That guy from Situ's family, my daughter met last year, is very sick. He coughs up blood while wearing a thin sweater in winter. Isn't that something wrong with his head?"

The woman sighed and said helplessly:

"That's the atmosphere in Beijing."

The literati in Shangjing, even in winter, like to have white shirts fluttering, and they fan their noses while running.

"Mother, my daughter doesn't want to marry him. She won't have to crush him to death then."

"You... You are a girl who has not left the cabinet, what are you talking about, who told you these things, who is it!"

"Mom, I was the one who peeped at you and Daddy at night..."

"..." The woman.

The woman's face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

"It's hard for my daughter not to notice..."

"do not talk!"

The woman couldn't take it anymore, and stretched out her hand to open the curtain of the carriage, so that some cool breeze could come in and disperse the dryness on her face.

No way, you can't order someone to strangle the daughter you taught yourself!

"Mom, you can't just leave your daughter alone when you're full..."

"Mother, please, stop talking."

"Mother, my daughter really doesn't want to marry that kid from Situ's family. My daughter also wants to be like her mother and find a man as tough as her father. My daughter really doesn't like those literati."

When it comes to your own mate selection criteria,

The girl also shyly turned her gaze to the outside of the carriage,

Some surprised said:

"Here, mother, my daughter wants to find that kind of husband!"

the distance outside the window,

It happened to be Liang Cheng galloping wildly!

"What?"

The woman looked out of the carriage window curiously,

But at this moment,

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the surrounding guards:

"Enemy attack!!!"
