Jinyi Night Walk

As the sun set, the camp was set up, and the pots were buried to make rice. The aroma of the rice wafted in the middle of the camp.

Liu Yujue stood beside Xia Xun, unfolded a map, compared it for a while, and said to Xia Xun, "Duke, there are still more than 400 miles away from Hami, and King Hami's reception team must go out at least a hundred miles. we……"

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of shouting and cursing from outside the tent, accompanied by the sound of some weapons clashing. The sound was not close, and it should have come from the periphery of the team.

Liu Yujue frowned, and said, "As we get closer to Hami, there are more and more horse thieves. Before it was dark, they came to attack the camp."

Xia Xun said: "The horse thieves from the Western Regions are really desperadoes. They clearly see that our soldiers are strong and strong, but the gang still don't believe in evil."

Liu Yujue went and opened the curtain to take a look, and saw a group of horse thieves with about 200 people in the southwest corner of the camp, attacking the camp aggressively.Immediately, someone came to report the news to Xia Xun, and said that Commander Feng was commanding to wipe out the invading enemies, please don't leave the tent, so as not to be injured by Liu Ya.

Feng Lieyan is a veteran of many battles, a gang of horse thieves, he is enough to command, Liu Yujue went back to the tent, explained to Xia Xun, and the two studied the route to Hami, and the route to Hami Things to do later.

The camp had just been set up, the outer trenches had not yet been dug, and some defensive measures had not yet been constructed to attack the camp. Although the horse thieves raided the camp at this time could not achieve the effect of a surprise attack, they hit the right spot by mistake and picked up one of the best defenses. Weak timing.

However, even though the defense was at its weakest, the team being attacked was not a soft persimmon. These three thousand elite cavalry were the best soldiers selected from the best, with extraordinary combat power.Now, these [-] soldiers have already regarded the horse thief's attack as a daily pastime and an opportunity to make a fortune. Although there are always casualties among officers and soldiers in every battle, who cares about casualties when they eat this food?Seeing a horse thief attacking, the soldiers greeted them with great interest.

The battle only lasted for a cup of tea, and the horse thief changed from offensive to defensive. The leading horse thief gave a whistle, pulled his horse and left.Those horse thieves left behind twenty or thirty corpses, and then fled.A horse thief who was shot by an arrow from the Ming army fell off his horse, with one foot still hanging in the stirrup, and was dragged along by the horse. Dozens of gold leaves were scattered from his arms, and the gold leaves were scattered all over the place. , shining brilliantly in the setting sun.

"It's developed! Hahaha, I shot him to death, so don't snatch it!"

An archer happily ran out to recognize the master, and leaned over to pick up the gold leaves.Those Ganliangjing cavalry were able to kill, but these horse thieves ran away. I was unwilling to do so, but seeing that these horse thieves had some dry goods on them, I couldn't help being jealous. Immediately, many soldiers jumped on their horses, beat their horses and raised their whips , Chased the horse thief.

Feng Lieyan clasped his hands and shouted loudly: "Don't chase too far!"

"This bunch of bastards!" Feng Lieyan cursed with a smile and withdrew his knife.

Feng Lieyan didn't take the soldiers who were chasing them too seriously. He didn't encounter horse thieves once or twice along the way. The largest number of horse thieves in each unit did not exceed 500. In this desert west of Dunhuang Here, it is impossible to have a large-scale team of horse thieves, because they cannot afford to support themselves, and the team of horse thieves must be strong, so with the strength of their own soldiers, there is no danger in catching up.

This march was boring, with deserts and cliffs. When I first saw it, the overwhelming thickness and desolation was quite shocking. After a long time, it made people fade away. Let them adjust their aid. It's fun.Besides, although General Song has a good eye for Gan Liangjing cavalry and pays more attention to it, Xiliang soldiers have less oil and water than Central Plains soldiers. , and let them go.

This area is rolling sand dunes, about [-] cavalry were chased out, and those who chased the horse thieves three times and two circles disappeared.

After a meal, no one came back, Feng Liyan couldn't help feeling suspicious, if the horse thieves deliberately escaped, it would be impossible to catch up with them and wipe them out in a meal, but Feng Liyan was very fond of his soldiers. I am sure that they will return to the wild, but they have been trained for a long time, and they will not be obsessed with money for this sake. Although they chase them down, they will definitely see each other well, and there is absolutely no possibility of being far away from the brigade.

"Be on alert now!"

If Yang Xu hadn't been here, Feng Lieyan would have mobilized troops to chase after him to find out what happened, but now that the Duke is here, his safety is his top priority. Seeing that he has traveled nearly half of the distance, he will arrive soon. It's Hami, so we can't make a mistake at this time.

After Feng Liyan ordered the whole army to be on alert, he sent scouts to follow the horseshoe prints to find out what happened, and immediately rushed to Xia Xun's tent to report the situation to him. Feng Liyan's Xiliang soldiers were obsessed with money, and it didn't matter if they chased too far or even lost their way, but if the five hundred cavalry were eaten by others, and there was not even a single person who fled back to report, then mean what?

These [-] cavalry are not ordinary wandering soldiers, they are elite cavalry from Xiliang!

Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "We can no longer send troops abroad! Let the scouts find out the news first, and the whole army is on strict alert!"

Feng Liyan said: "Yes, the last general also means the same thing, the situation is a bit suspicious, we have to find out the situation before we talk about it."

At this time, Sai Hazhi also rushed over after hearing the news, and Xia Xun ordered: "Old Sai, ask your people to replenish to the outside, I'm afraid there will be trouble, be careful!"

"Duke, don't worry, Lao Sai will go up!" Sai Hazhi patted his chest and promised Xia Xun, and hurried out of the tent.

Xia Xun frowned slightly, and said to Liu Yujue: "It shouldn't be..., at this time and place, besides King Hami, is there any other force that can send out a force that can silently wipe out 500 Ganliang Jingqi?" Armed?" [Baidu Jinyi Night Walk posted Huangmen Neipin to provide error-free text first release]

Liu Yujue changed color slightly and said: "Duke, could it be that King Hami has taken refuge in Tie Mu'er, so..."

Xia Xun shook his head: "Impossible! King Hami has been a hostage in our Daming since he was a child, and now he returns to China to succeed him, all thanks to my support and his blood. If he leaves Daming, he will not be able to hold this position! If Tie Muer bought him Without him, it is impossible for Timur's army to have the courage to break with Daming completely in such a short period of time before Timur's army is approaching the city. Besides, if it is him, why bother? , wouldn’t it be better if we threw ourselves into the trap?”

The last one is the most critical. King Hami's suspicion of Tuotuo was immediately cleared, but if it wasn't for Tuotuo's actions, it is really impossible to imagine who else would be.The two of them wondered for a while, but they didn't come up with a clue. They could only wait for the scout to find out the situation.

The scouts sent by Feng Lieyan also knew the situation was serious, so they naturally wouldn't rush there in a swarm like the brothers who chased them out just now. They used the method of Lianzhu horses, sending scouts one by one to look for the enemy. Make sure that you can send back quickly as soon as there is a warning signal, so as not to be cut off again.

As a result, the news was sent back, and the whereabouts of 500 people were unknown. The scouts found a place where fierce battles had taken place. It was in a bunker valley, with messy horseshoes all over the ground, and bloodstains that had been trampled into the sand but were vaguely discernible. .

This explains why all the five hundred cavalry disappeared and none of them escaped. They must have chased those horse thieves into a valley of death. Quan Shu thought that there must be another ambush behind the sandy valleys on both sides. After they entered the Death Valley, they sealed the exit and carried out the massacre.

Feng Liyan is very familiar with the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and horses. Even if the opponent takes advantage of the ground, seals the exit, and shoots vigorously from the high ground on three sides, he will kill all 500 people in the pit without breaking through. , Its military strength is at least 4000 people. Such a military strength, except for King Hami, is only possible if the swarming Barcelona is dispatched.

However, Barca is a horse thief, horse thief kills, and is also killed at the same time, not because of their personal pride, they will go out with all their strength, abandon all foundations and vow to compete with Xia Xun to avenge his brother?This reason is a bit far-fetched, and horse thieves can never be so well-trained, and what is even more puzzling is that they clean up the battlefield, what is their purpose?So set up a formation of suspicious soldiers?

Feng Lieyan, Sai Hazhi, and Xia Xun repeatedly discussed and couldn't figure it out. It is impossible to continue to divide the troops to track down the enemy. The sky has already darkened. Dan, including himself, the three women Sirin, Rangna and Tang Sai'er are also neatly dressed and ready to break through at any time.

But after waiting all night, they were not disturbed at all. By dawn, everyone was tired and sleepy. After discussing with Feng Lieyan and Sehazhi, Xia Xun decisively decided to give up the search for the whereabouts of the five hundred soldiers and set off on the road.

Xia Xun had never been in such an embarrassing situation before. He knew that there was a dangerous enemy watching him secretly, like a sinister wolf, waiting for him to relax at any time, and pounced on him to bite him hard, but he Unable to march, everyone is already very tired from tossing and tossing all night. If we rush on the road again, when we are exhausted, how much combat power will there be left even in an elite army?But knowing that the danger is right in front of you, you still have to keep calm and move forward at a constant speed, and you are ten times more careful than usual along the way. This kind of psychological and spiritual torture makes people even more exhausted.

After a day's march, there was no accident.

When camping, Xia Xun gave the order to sleep on the bed and be on high alert in a difficult tone.

He already knows the enemy's purpose very well. This enemy who has not known the details so far is like a cunning wolf and a patient hunter. Chasing and torturing, trying to get out of his will, he was exhausted until he stretched out his fangs and opened his bow and arrow.

However, you clearly know his purpose, but you have to do it according to his intention:

Marching fast is a waste of physical strength; marching slowly is a torture of will;

If you do not take various precautions during the march, you may be taken advantage of by the enemy; taking various precautions is a double consumption of physical strength and spirit;

When you are stationed, facing a powerful enemy that may multiply by yourself, how can you take rest in batches? Everyone must be prepared at any time, otherwise if you are attacked by someone and enter the camp without time to respond, then It is the nightmare of destroying the camp, but this invisible enemy can rest calmly.

This is a terrible enemy. Xia Xun knows that he will definitely come, but he doesn't know when he will come.

This is another torture!
