Chapter 1163 Famine and Natural Disaster 323

The time of leisure and joy is short.

Princess Zhou stood there and watched them walk out of the palace; watching them get on their horses and gallop away, she couldn't take her mind back for a long time.

Master Fan and the guards of more than 50 people couldn't keep up with the team with medicinal materials, food and grass, so they tried to speed up the pace. Before Master Fan and others left the city, Zhou Ting and his troops had already rushed out of the city.

Outside Shili Pavilion.

Twenty thousand troops had already gathered here. Among the northwest generals, except for a second-rank general who guarded Pingyang Pass, a second-rank general, and a fourth-rank general, all the other fifth-rank and above generals followed Zhou. Court to the border.

The military generals who stayed in the northwest city were only a few with humble official positions.

"Meet the Crown Prince of Zhou."

All the generals dismounted and saluted.

The assembled 20,000 soldiers knelt down one after another.

"Get up, set off immediately, and get to the border before dawn tomorrow, without any mistakes,"

"Here!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

"set off!"

Mingyi had the reins in one hand and the whip in the other. He was very strong, but he was not very familiar with riding a horse. With Zhou Ting's guidance, he quickly mastered the riding skills and kept up with the progress of the team.

Let all the generals see what a little girl can do.

Witnessing with my own eyes that she has learned how to ride a horse from a horse to a master, I have to admire her. With her fast learning speed and good understanding, it is no wonder that she was accepted as a disciple by Master Fan, and she is the only female disciple in his sect.

The children of their family can only be said to be better than the superiors and not as smart as Zhou Ting and Mingyi.

After what they saw and heard, they truly realized what a dimensionality reduction attack was.

After traveling for half a day, the journey went smoothly and no enemy was found.

However, such a rapid march was terminated in the evening when a general came on horseback.

"Your Majesty, Min Qianfeng is back."

General Zhongwu of the fourth rank was tall and straight, even though he was a little rounded, it did not affect his majestic appearance; he rode back and joined Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting's eyes were clear and he asked coldly: "Is it still safe ahead?"

"Your Majesty, Min Xianfeng discovered a group of unknown people five kilometers ahead. There are about five hundred people ambushing at the Youshan Pass, and they should be heading towards us."

Zhou Ting pondered for a while and said loudly: "Is General Yunhui here?"

"The end will be here."

A general in purple robes came from the front on horseback, "Please give me your orders, Your Majesty."

"Deploy the cavalry battalion and follow Min Qianfeng to fight at Youshan; the cavalry battalion has just been established and it's time for them to make contributions." Zhou Ting looked at General Yunhui fixedly.

General Yunhui clasped his hands in his fists and bowed on his horse, "The last general has received the order. They will be killed without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

"Very good, mobilize the troops and set off!"

"Here."

General Yunhui bowed again, waved his hand, and shouted, "The cavalry battalion comes out."

"The cavalry camp is here."

The cavalry battalion of five hundred horses came out, uniformly wearing earthy brown uniforms, and carrying sabers on their backs; the handles of the sabers were tied with red scarves. Each of them had a vigorous figure. The mounts were fat and strong, with a toned body, and the muscles on the horses were all smooth.

"The cavalry battalion will leave with me!"

"Here."

A group of 500 cavalrymen, led by Min Qianfeng, roared away with General Yunhui whipping their horses.

The dusty wind stirred up horses' hooves, and the iron horses trampled the mountains and rivers.

The end is majestic. Zhou Ting tightened his horse's reins and watched the cavalry go away in great force.

"If they go like this, won't they fall into other people's traps?" They will suffer a loss if they blatantly compete with other people's old tricks.

"No, Min Qianfeng discovered the opponent's location and will not fall into a trap this time."

Mingyi raised his eyebrows and became interested. It was the first time he came to this world to witness a real war. "Shall we go and see?"

"Do you want to go?" Zhou Ting asked.

Mingyi nodded calmly, "Yes, I have never seen a battlefield scene."

"You can go and see if you want, but you have to stay with me. You can't run around or act without authorization." His beloved girl is particularly special and has a changeable personality. He has to block her path to adventure. OK.

"Okay, I won't take action. What are you worried about? I'm just curious about what the battlefield is like and want to see it up close."

Zhou Ting's eyebrows relaxed, "Then let's walk."

"Hey, drive~"

Mingyi took the lead and rode away. Zhou Ting looked at General Huaihua and said, "Lead the team and keep up."

"Here, I obey the commander's orders."

In the absence of the King of Zhou, Zhou Ting controls the northwest and the 200,000 troops in the northwest. With the seal of commander in hand, the generals below will also follow him as commander.

Zhou Ting chased her on horseback. His horse was faster than Mingyi's horse, and he quickly caught up with her.

"Yiyi, slow down, we can make it in time."

"Okay."

He made concessions step by step, and Mingyi would make some appropriate concessions with a smile on his face.

Although the two of them were still riding their horses, their horses no longer crashed.

By the time they arrived, the war, which was evenly matched in terms of numbers, had come to an end; the other side only thought that they were hiding, but in fact they were in the eyes of the Northwest Army. In such a situation, no matter how much ambush was laid, it would not be able to avert trouble.

Trying to plot against the Northwest Army is just wishful thinking.

What Mingyi saw was that the canyon was littered with corpses. The enemy suffered heavy casualties and blood flowed into rivers. However, our side only suffered slight losses, and the ones that were damaged were horses, not people.

For cavalry, their horses and their sabers are their lifeblood.

When the last enemy soldier fell, a group of soldiers from the cavalry battalion cleared the battlefield; when they saw the horse lying in a pool of blood, their eyes were red with distress.

"General Yunhui, what should we do with them?"

The three horses were rushing forward and were shot after being tripped by people in the canyon using horse ropes. The three soldiers riding horses rolled down to the grass in time and escaped with the help of vegetation. Jie, but he was also injured. The lightest one rolled on the ground covered with scars, and the heaviest one was hit by two stray arrows.

The three horses were dying, but not really dead.

But they were marching in a hurry and could not stay for the sake of the three horses; the weight of the horses would also affect their marching progress, so it was impossible to save them in this case.

"Move to one side and don't affect the advance of the army behind."

General Yunhui was also distressed, but he couldn't be soft-hearted; no matter how distressed he was, he had to distinguish the current situation and give up everything that should be given up.

Mingyi and Zhou Ting rode forward.

General Yunhui heard the commotion, looked back, and bowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

Zhou Ting looked at the three fine horses covered with arrows. It would be fake if he didn't feel sorry for them. The court could not control the military pay of the Northwest Army. It was all borne by the Zhou Palace. The horses were the property of the entire Northwest Army. If one of them died, it would be a shame. One horse.

"Your Majesty, these three horses will not survive." General Yunhui sighed deeply.

"Pull aside, leaving one person waiting for the teacher's motorcade."

General Yunhui nodded solemnly. The three horses could not be saved. They could just hand them over to Master Fan's convoy and take them back to the northwest. It was meat anyway, so let's make the best use of it.

The northwest is also tough!

Mingyi looked at them with regret.
