Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 715
Nearly tens of thousands of cattle, horses and livestock in the ranch have gathered here, and the abundance of food and grass accumulated here can be imagined.Moreover, the horse feed is so dry that there is no need for combustion aids such as grease. Once it is ignited, the flames will soar into the sky.

Shen Mu and the others galloped around the huge camp, throwing the fire in all directions. Although there were a few obstacles on the way, it was just some laborers who woke up in a dream and panicked.

Not long after, the entire supply camp was covered by raging fire, and thick smoke billowed up, forcing people back several miles away.At this time, Shen Mu and the others were already out of people and horses, especially many of the war horses fell down and fell down, throwing the knights to the ground.

Although they rushed here, although it was only a short distance of a dozen miles, nearly half of the distance was overloaded with horse armor.If it wasn't for Shen Mu's decisive decision to remove his armor halfway, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to rush in.

At this time, the fire was already raging, and the signal for the various ministries to attack had been sent out, but Shen Mu and the others had not completely turned to safety.The camp of the Jienu army that they broke through before was just one of the nearby fortresses.According to the information delivered by Liu Di, there are at least three fortresses nearby, and the garrison ranges from a few hundred to a thousand.

"Abandon the horses, pick up the ordnance in each camp, and attack a nearby stable camp first."

At this point in the charge, manpower may still be able to persist with willpower, but horsepower is no longer usable.Fortunately, he has already rushed into the ranch at the moment, and the most indispensable thing nearby is the war horse.

After some fighting, there were only about [-] armored knights gathered around Shen Mu at this time, and most of the armors were discarded, and many of them were clean and bare-chested.If they abandon the horse again at this time, then they really have gambled away their entire family this time.Fortunately, the most dangerous time is over now, and the surrounding horses are neighing and people are roaring, the chaos has reached the extreme.

"It's a pity, if these funds can be transported back to Huainan..."

Taking another look at the heavy camp in the flames and smoke, Shen Mu couldn't hide the regret in his eyes, it could be said that his heartache was extremely painful.But it was too late to make any more regrets. Dozens of slave cavalry under the organization of the captain had rushed to kill them in the back road. As for Ying Dan and other successors, it was unknown where they rushed in the turmoil.

At this time, the horsepower has been exhausted, the people are exhausted, and more importantly, there is no armor or equipment.Right now, Shen Mu and the others are almost waiting to be slaughtered, if they are rushed up by slave soldiers, they will almost only end up being slaughtered.Fortunately, everyone had already dismounted at this time, and made a decisive decision. Those with knives chopped off the horse's buttocks, and those without knives directly ignited the horse's tail with fire.Hundreds of war horses rushed forward neighing, and immediately dispersed the dozens of slave soldiers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Mu and others rushed into the nearby camp, and soon found a barracks for storing ordnance.When they went out of the camp again, they had already prepared bows, knives and light armor, and fought and retreated with the slaves who had heard the news.

At this time, the slave camp was already in chaos, with shouts and fights everywhere.When Shen Mu and his party rushed out of the area covered by the firelight and arrived at a place where the light was slightly dim, hundreds of slave soldiers rushed forward on horseback from the flanks.

That part of the slave soldiers who fought with Shen Mu and others before, immediately sent out part of them to counterattack.Seeing this, Shen Mu and the others became even more confused with joy, and simply joined forces with one of the teams to kill the other, and soon they couldn't tell who was who.

On the side, there were slave generals beating drums to gather the crowd. In the end, their respective commanders simply ordered the soldiers to be restrained, and hurriedly retreated in one direction.But Shen Mu didn't go further into the slave camp, but led the crowd straight to a stable camp, ordering the soldiers to grab a nearby horse and turn over.Because of the rush and the lack of saddles in the stables, there were many soldiers riding on the bare backs of the war horses, which made it very inconvenient to drive them.

At this time, Shen Mu saw that although a soldier nearby was riding a naked horse, it seemed to be stuck to the horse's back and it was very stable. He couldn't help admiring loudly. language.Shen Mu took a closer look, swiped his knife and slashed at him, yelling: "Beast-looking Hu, how dare you pretend to be a strong man from Jin!"

That Hu Zu was coerced here for some reason, and when he found out that the left and right sides were all of the same kind, he was already terrified in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak out. He was coerced all the way here, but he was not found. Chop off the horse!

"Check the left and right respectively, if there are slaves mixed in, kill them immediately!"

At this time, Shen Mu had time to roughly count the soldiers, and only then did he realize that there were more people in the chaos after the fight just now, which shows how chaotic it is.At this time, with a loud shout, all the people around him looked around, there were many voices among the Hulu who didn't understand Jin, and they were all beheaded and fell off their horses while they were still in doubt.There are also slaves who understood what they heard, but before they had time to fight back and escape for their lives, there were chaos with knives around them.

After some cleaning, the number of people decreased by one-third.Shen Mu didn't have much joy at the moment, as his troops were already in such a state, it was conceivable that many armored knights should also be taken away by slaves, life and death were uncertain.

However, it was too late to worry about these things at this moment, Shen Mu gritted his teeth, waved his hands and led the crowd to rush back and forth.At this moment, the task of his department has been completed, but it is not his task to take advantage of the chaos to plunder the horses and drive south.Running back and forth right now is not to collect the equipment that was discarded earlier, and there is no need to count on it at all, it is a mission that should be born.

What Shen Mu was worried about was Liu Meng's life and death.He has nothing to do now, and this matter immediately hurts his heart.Liu Meng is a sincere old man in his family, and he is more intimate than some members of the Yuanzhi tribe. Even Shen Mu's bow and horse skills were all taught by Liu Meng. master.Now that life and death are unknown, Shen Mu really couldn't let it go, so he took advantage of the chaos and went to search, hoping to see the person if he was alive, and the corpse if he was dead.

The entire pasture has a radius of tens of miles, extending from Chengfu to the nearby Zhuyi.At this time, centered on the heavy camp by the Zhangshui River, turmoil broke out.After the fire signal was issued, as a large number of slave soldiers guarding the fort around returned to suppress, the rangers of the Huainan army who had been scattered in the four fields as a lure also rushed out one after another, heading straight to the heart of the pasture.

This time, it was truly an out-and-out feast.Before leaving, the son-in-law even issued an order that half of the war horses listed in the various ministries should be handed over, and the other half should go to the respective ministries.In other words, if any one can hunt thousands of war horses, it will be able to accumulate meritorious service and increase the number of people, directly reaching the position of ranking alongside Han Huang and other veterans!
But there is only one disadvantage, that is, the time is too short. The time for their attack should be counted from the time when the fire started. Within half an hour, no matter how much they got, they had to evacuate from the pasture and move to the south. .If it is overdue, there will be no reward for the merit!
Because of this, the cavalry from all walks of life rushed forward like desperately.Originally, there were still some slave soldiers garrisoned in the outskirts of the pasture, and there were still soldiers left. Seeing the foreign attack coming, they naturally sent troops to stop it.Before some slave soldiers were dispatched, the rangers of the Huainan army had already roared past outside the fortress.Some put up fences to keep horses away, but the opposite side seemed to be crazy, and charged directly with their horses. Many soldiers and horses were knocked into the air, and the front line was instantly smashed!

When all the ministries were vying for hunting skills, Xiao Yuandong's hundreds of riders could only stand on the edge of a forest outside the pasture.His troops stayed here to meet Liu Di.But right now Liu Di hasn't come out yet, but all the ministries have started to move, and there are even horses driving a large group of horses to gallop to the south retreat.

Although the son-in-law had made it clear when he gave the order, his merit was not in hunting horses, but in recommending Liu Di to gain insight into the reality of the enemy camp.But right now all the ministries are plundering military exploits, but he is independent, and his mood is really restless.

The scouts visited several times to no avail, Xiao Yuandong really couldn't hold back, he immediately ordered his soldiers to mount their horses and rush towards the direction of the joint, ready to rush into it to look for Liu Di.However, halfway through the run, there was a sudden earthquake in front of him, as if thousands of horses were galloping!
Xiao Yuandong's heart trembled, he led the crowd to rush up the nearby high slope, with the faint light between the sky and the earth, he soon saw a huge herd of horses rushing from the opposite side, the end of which could not be seen at a glance.

"General Xiao! General Xiao Yuandong is here..."

In the night, a shout came from far and near, Xiao Yuandong immediately ordered people to sound the gong as a signal, and after a while, dozens of riders rushed up the high slope, it was Liu Di who Xiao Yuandong couldn't wait for and the others.Not far behind Liu Di's horse, another rider was a fat Hu man.Seeing this, Xiao Yuandong subconsciously pulled the string to shoot, and then he heard Liu Di shouted: "Be at peace, General, this is one of our own!"

"Erlang, are these the war horses you hunted?"

Seeing the herd of horses whizzing by down the slope, Xiao Yuandong couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Liu Di took the reins of He Laimiao's horse and walked up together, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the strength of my brother. Although my brother is a Hu, he has long admired Huaxia and committed himself to the slave camp. , Now abandon the evil and turn to the righteous, donate two hundred servants in the stables and more than three thousand horses, to dedicate the king's teacher, and help the son-in-law kill the slaves!"

"More than three thousand horses..."

When Xiao Yuandong heard this number, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.For their raid this time, time is running out, and each of them may hold two or three people, or drive away hundreds, which is already the limit of manpower.But I didn't expect that the short and fat barbarian Ma Cheng came to vote, and drove the horses as a servant, and the horses stayed together and did not disperse. If they can drive all the horses back to the town, it will be a great feat!
They had already met each other, and there was no time to greet each other right now, so the group joined forces and rushed south together.

In order to prepare for this battle, Shen Zhezi also made great preparations. He directly sank a boat, chopped wood, and chained across the river at the Woshui Bay Stream dozens of miles away from the city father, and built a temporary pontoon bridge passage.On the south side of the pontoon bridge is the retreat route south to the Huai River, and on the north side of the pontoon bridge, he personally led [-] troops to form a military vehicle battle formation to respond.At the same time, the navy also went up the vortex, meeting the broken soldiers along the way.

It wasn't until the dawn was faint that the sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance. This sound seemed to be a signal, and it suddenly became stronger.

"It seems to have succeeded!"

Hearing this voice, Lu Yong, who led his troops to the north to meet him, was already beaming, and his mood became more relaxed. He turned to Shen Zhezi and said with a smile: "The son-in-law can't help but surprise the world. I don't know if the son-in-law can get it this time." How many horses?"

"I'm overjoyed to have two thousand."

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile, although the newspaper said that there were tens of thousands of horses gathered here, but the raids and hunts were already in turmoil, and if they went south in a hurry, they would lose a lot, so he didn't dare to place too high hopes.The most important thing is that this big camp can be broken down, and the horses and animals can be scattered in the wild again. If the slave soldiers want to collect them, it will undoubtedly be more difficult.

While speaking, the first ranger had already returned, and it was Xie Yi's subordinate. He was very lucky this time, he went straight to the empty door without any obstructions, and retreated early. Be the first to arrive.

"Fortunately, life is not humiliated..."

Xie Yi stepped forward out of breath, Shen Zhezi was already full of relief, waved his hands and said: "Quickly cross the bridge and rest!"

After a good start, the troops from all walks of life returned one after another, and each of them had gains, ranging from hundreds of horses to hundreds of horses, and none of them went empty.The current income alone has exceeded Shen Zhezi's expectations, reaching nearly [-] war horses!

When thousands of horses galloped along the last road, the gains had already doubled!Whether it's Lu Yong or Shen Zhezi, their faces are already full of joy, and it's hard to restrain themselves.

"There could have been more, but the subordinates were greedy for merit, and they were scattered along the way, but they were killed by the slave army. They had no choice but to give up a little and divide the crowd."

Xiao Yuandong, who arrived at the end, had a look of shame on his face, and also worried: "The slave army is led by Shi Cong, and there are more than [-] people..."

　The harvest must be less than [-], take an integer and have momentum. . .
