Chapter 215
The night is dark.

The human eye is almost useless.

Since he can't see far, Gu Datou is not reluctant.He simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, sat on the horseback and let the horse follow the team forward.

The other [-] or so people were similar.

In this era when there is no radio and all information can only be transmitted by manpower or light, even if there are scouts from Xiliang people lurking around, they will not be afraid.

There are few pioneers in Yanfeng, this is not their first sneak attack, and it probably won't be the last.

On the contrary, the leaders of Xiliang's army had big heads.

Epidemics, these two words always make them fearful.

Every time they attacked or defended, the people of Xiliang threw their weapons at them, for fear that they would catch the epidemic at some point and spread it among their own people.

Otherwise, based on the number of people crushing them all the way, it is estimated that they have already worshiped the wolf god under the city of Yanzhen Fortress by this time.

After the team walked for about an hour, Gu Datou suddenly opened his eyes.

Although he was on the horse, he clearly felt that the ground under his feet was trembling regularly.

Everyone's heart trembled.

They are cavalry themselves, so they know it well.

There are large-scale cavalry in front of them, and the military discipline is strict.

Shi Fengshou, who was riding in the Fourth Battalion, had a solemn expression and rode up to the nearby high point.

He raised his binoculars and looked ahead.

The place about fifteen miles ahead was full of lights, and at a glance, there were no less than ten thousand people, who were slowly heading east.

Is it a coincidence, or leaked the wind?
If the news had leaked, the opponent's speed would not have been so leisurely, and he had already ambushed and rushed from all directions; but if it was a coincidence, then what is the goal of the Xiliang people?
Is it the forward camp or the fortress behind?

Shi Fengshou's head was spinning rapidly.

The vanguard army brought out by Huo Ling was running out of combat strength, but there were too many wounded, which could be said to have completely become a burden on the rear fortress.

The current Xiliang people don't need to sneak attack or disappear them at all.

As long as they come out from time to time like in the daytime, hang this group of wounded soldiers who can't advance or retreat, and try to consume the little food and medicine in Yanzhen Fortress.

Shi Fengshou looked even more dignified.

The target of this group of Xiliang people is estimated to be the fortress or even further away, Dingxi City or Luoxia Mountains.

"Eight Battalion!" Shi Fengshou said.

"Here!" Gu Datou and the other remaining chief of the Qiba Battalion agreed in unison.

"You send two people back to report the situation here to General Huo, and the others bypass the Xiliang people in front and continue the mission."

Gu Datou and the two were startled, "What about the Fourth Battalion?"

Shi Fengshou laughed: "I am playing hide-and-seek with them here."

There was a huge disparity in numbers, but he wasn't going to run, let alone hide in an ambush.

Yimapingchuan's grassland is not a narrow and slender mountainous area, and it does not have the conditions to intercept and ambush at all.

And for such a large-scale march, there must be scouts or spies scattered along the way.

It is estimated that when the 1000 of them sensed the sound of horseshoes, the leader of Xiliang had already heard the news.

"let's go!"

Gu Da's mind is stuck.It didn't matter whether the order was right or wrong, anyway, he turned around and left after receiving it.

Shi Fengshou heaved a sigh of relief.

His temper is good, but it saves him a lot of talking, and he doesn't have to spend a lot of time trying to convince them.

"Wait." Shi Fengshou called to stop the two of them, and stuffed the telescope in his hand, "Hold it!"

Gu Datou hurriedly continued.

In the past, this kind of artifact was only equipped by generals at the Qianchang level.These little soldiers have only seen it from afar, but they have never touched it.

"In case, even if it is destroyed, it is not allowed to fall into the hands of Xiliang people." Shi Fengshou urged.

"Yes!" Gu Datou saluted solemnly: "This subordinate promises to bring this treasure back to Qian Chang with his own hands."

The two teams parted ways.

In addition to the binoculars in hand, the Eighth Battalion had another batch of pilot fuel distributed by the Fourth Battalion.

Gu Datou sent two small soldiers back to report, and led his subordinates to run back for more than [-] miles, until they could no longer hear any movement from the west before continuing north.

This time he didn't dare to close his eyes anymore, and kept looking around with the binoculars.

"Big head, where are we going?" Lu Youtian next to him patted his mount reassuringly.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the telescope in Gu Datou's hand with general feeling.

Speaking of which, this artifact has something to do with Lu Youtian.When Ren Ning invented the first telescope, he gave him the first crystal needed.

Crystals are precious, and Lu Youtian who gave away the crystals has never regretted it.

Because of the secret work of Yumaying, Ren Ning found out.

His precious mount not only gave birth to a healthy cub later, it can even accompany him through life and death on the grassland.

Several times Lu Youtian was caught in a heavy siege, and it was because the mount under his crotch was running desperately that he escaped from the clutches of death.Until now, he has become another only surviving Baichang of the Eighth Battalion.

Gu Datou didn't know what Lu Youtian was thinking.He put down the binoculars.

Where to go?

Gu Datou scratched his neck in pain.

How could he have any ideas as he only cared about the big soldiers who charged into battle?
Pooh!
He spat fiercely on the ground, "Bypass the bastards in front, and continue to attack the Benlu tribe."

Huo Ling's men and Xiliang Pioneers have been fighting back and forth west of the Kailun tribe, trampling almost half of the Kailun grassland to nothing.

And because there is enough water, the Benlu tribe further west has become the base camp of the Xiliang forward.

The target village of their trip was the Benlu tribe.

Lu Youtian reminded: "But we only have 200 people, at most we have to run away if we set off fire. Otherwise..."

"Yes." Gu Datou continued to scratch his cheek.

Huo Ling had sent people to attack the Benlu tribe many times before, with some successes and failures.

Now the surrounding area of ​​Benlu is like an iron barrel, how can a mere 200 people break in.

"Why don't you get rid of the logistics of the guys in front of you?" Lu Youtian suggested.

There are already tens of thousands of cavalry in the front of the enemy, and there must be more infantry behind.With so many people going to war, food, grass and supplies are absolutely indispensable.

The Long Grain Team is full of loopholes, even if there are people protecting them along the way, they will not be able to fully protect them, which is just right for them to attack.

"Good idea!" Gu Datou slapped his thigh without thinking.

After making up their minds, more than two hundred people headed west.

Not long after walking, there was a loud sound of killing from the south.

"We're fighting." Everyone's faces were serious.

Gu Datou nodded, and couldn't help picking up the binoculars to look.

He was relieved to see this.

The Fourth Cavalry Battalion can survive so many people, mainly because they are cavalry archers.Attacking while walking is their forte.

At this time, under the command of Shi Fengshou, the Fourth Battalion had rules for advancing and retreating, and the people of Xiliang would have nothing to do with them any longer.

Unlike cavalry six to ten battalions, either Lancers or heavy cavalry.

They also have bows, but they are not the main weapon. They usually fight in and out against the rain of guns and arrows, either directly breaking up the enemy infantry phalanx, or dying on the way.

"I shouldn't want Shi Qianchang's clairvoyance." Gu Datou talked about the situation in the south, feeling regretful in his heart.

"Don't worry." Lu Youtian comforted: "Shi Qianchang is more cunning than a fox. He said that hide-and-seek is just hide-and-seek, and he won't be easily blocked by Xiliang people."

"We'd better go to the back and fight hard."
