Let you rebel, you build the Immortal Kingdom of Longevity?

Chapter 25 Iron Cavalry, Encounter

Si Jinglei and other rebel soldiers surrounded him, and they all looked curiously at the dying, pitiful looking Chiyan spirit horse that kept screaming.

Except for Si Jinglei, everyone present, including Xia Hao, saw the monster for the first time.

"General, this monster should not be killed." A ninth-rank warrior looked a little regretful.Such a monster horse should be an invincible general's mount.

Hu Lie is a native of the prairie. He is proficient in horse hunting. He leaned forward, carefully touched the head of the Chiyan Spirit Horse, raised his lower eyelids, observed carefully, and then looked at Xia Hao and said:

"General, the Red Flame Spirit Horse is seriously injured. If it is not treated in time, it may die."

"Well, we can't let it die easily. Let's apply some medicine first." Xia Hao took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms. This is the "gold jade ointment" he prepared by himself, which can treat external injuries.

Apply some ointment to the wound of the Scarlet Flame Spirit Horse. As for whether it can survive, it depends entirely on itself.

Xia Hao looked at the herd of wild horses neighing in the distance again, which was the main goal of his trip.

"Brothers, catch all these wild horses and don't let any of them run away. Be careful not to be kicked by the wild horses. These wild horses all have the blood of the Red Flame Spirit Horse and are very powerful."

The other rebels had been waiting for this order for a long time, and they galloped one after another, waving the harness poles, chasing wild horses one by one.

Because the Red Flame Spirit Horse fell, hundreds of wild horses seemed to be leaderless. They could only flee randomly, but they were reluctant to leave the area around the Scarlet Flame Spirit Horse.

These ordinary wild horses fell down one by one and were caught by the rebel soldiers and connected in a row with hemp ropes.

Si Jinglei came to Xia Hao and reported in surprise: "General, we have captured nearly 200 wild horses in total, including more than 60 adult wild horses, 30 adult stallions, and more than [-] foals."

"So much, this harvest is not small." Xia Hao was very satisfied.

No matter when, war horses are important goods, and in today's troubled times, the price continues to rise.Powers from all over the world are secretly saving war horses and forming their own iron cavalry.

Only with cavalry can we have greater initiative in war.

Otherwise, we can only stick to one place, develop and expand, and be restricted everywhere.

Just like Xia Hao, Yuzhong County is very close to Lingju County and Haomen County. The infantry can arrive in two days by marching in a hurry, and the round trip only takes about four days.

But if Xia Hao goes to attack the farther Jincheng County, which is also the county seat of Jincheng County, the distance is nearly four hundred miles away.

It may take half a month for the infantry to attack, plus the siege time, and it is very likely that the official army entrenched in Haomen County will lead the cavalry to cut off the rear.

When an army attacks, the farther the distance, the more materials it needs to consume will also increase exponentially, which will also have a great impact on combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Xia Hao never acted rashly.

"Brothers, set up camp here tonight, rest overnight, and return to Lingju County at dawn tomorrow morning." Xia Hao felt very relieved.

Thirty riders rode for most of the day and spent half a day catching wild horses. They were already short of men and horses and needed to be repaired and replenished.

Xia Hao tied up the Red Flame Spirit Horse, came to the horse calf that was injured and died during the horse capture, and ordered:

"Skin these foals, wash them, and we will eat roasted horse meat at night."

Hearing what Xia Hao said, the soldiers of the Rebel Army secretly drooled and burst into ear-splitting cheers.

That night, the fire was lit up, and the rebel soldiers all ate delicious roasted horse meat.

Although only a little coarse salt is added, it tastes extra crispy and delicious.

In this troubled world, even for Xia Hao himself, it is difficult to eat meat every meal. The difference in living conditions from his previous life can be described as worlds apart.

Si Jinglei sat beside Xia Hao, and the cool breeze blew across the lake, bringing a little bit of coolness.

"General, I feel that this lake is also a little strange."

Xia Hao gnawed on a horse leg and looked puzzled: "How do you say that?"

Si Jinglei looked at the green lake surface and said: "This is just my intuition. This lake is very deep. There may be water monsters hidden in it, and they are monsters that are far more powerful than the Red Flame Spirit Horse."

"Is there a monster in the lake?" Xia Hao was shocked and stared at the lake. It was strangely calm. There were no birds, drinking water from the lake, and there were no plants in the lake.

"If there is a monster hiding in the lake, we can't deal with it now." Xia Hao said, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"After the brothers have eaten and drank enough, take advantage of the good moonlight tonight and return to Lingju County overnight."

Si Jinglei responded: "Yes!"

Although the other rebel soldiers were puzzled, they were also shocked when they heard that there was a big demon in the lake, and unanimously agreed to return.

……

Marching at night, followed by 100 wild horses, the speed was much slower. It was not until dawn that they had traveled more than [-] miles.

Suddenly, Si Jinglei looked at Xia Hao and reminded: "General, there are the sounds of horse hooves ahead, and there are a lot of them."

"Oh, could it be that the news was exposed after just one night?" Xia Hao looked solemn.

If the official and military cavalry from Haomen County came to stop them, they would be in big trouble.

Xia Hao drew out the blood-drinking knife and shouted:
"All get on the horses, surround the horses in the middle, and prepare for battle."

The thirty rebels quickly drove the horses behind them, drew their weapons, and prepared to fight.

After a while, hundreds of cavalry appeared in front of the grassland, dressed like barbarian warriors.

Before they met, they began to draw their bows and nock arrows, and arrows rained down on the crowd.

Immediately, some rebel soldiers were hit by arrows, and some wild horses behind them continued to fall.

"I actually encountered a prairie barbarian."

Xia Hao swung his saber and cut off all the arrows that shot at him. With extremely cold eyes, he took out an iron tire bow from the horse's back.

A hundred steps away, he directly drew his bow and set up an arrow, and shot towards the barbarian leader.

I saw that the arrow shot out seemed to have eyes, and it was accurately inserted into the head of a barbarian soldier.

As soon as he shot into his soul, Xia Hao quickly grabbed the arrows one by one and killed the barbarian warrior.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and at only about fifty steps, Xia Hao drew out his saber, galloped his horse, roaring, and rushed into the camp of barbarian soldiers first.

"Brothers, kill with me!"

Si Jinglei and other rebel fighters also brandished various weapons and followed Xia Hao to charge.

When the two armies met, although Xia Hao's side only had thirty cavalry, they were all elites, and there were more than ten high-ranking fighters.

What's more, Xia Hao, a sixth-rank warrior, swung his saber at will, and his corpse was divided into two parts. Like a demon god, he quickly killed these barbarian warriors to pieces.

Half an hour later, more than 100 barbarian soldiers were wiped out, leaving only hundreds of horses, who fled around and were captured by rebel soldiers.

Si Jinglei, covered in blood, rode his horse to Xia Hao's side and laughed loudly: "General, these barbarian soldiers have given us hundreds of high-quality war horses.
In addition, there may be some precious treasures, general, wait and see. "

Si Jinglei opened a package, which contained an exquisite sandalwood box.

Xia Hao curiously took the sandalwood box, a little surprised: "It's so exquisite, could it be that these barbarians looted treasures from the Jin Dynasty?"

　Welcome to the collection!
