lying down

"Herod—" Old Hei neighed in dissatisfaction as his master pulled the reins violently.How long has it been since it ran so freely?Although it is an old horse, after all, when it was young and mature, it was superior to other horses. The foundation of its body is still there. Coupled with the care of the owner for more than a year, I feel as if I have returned to the time when I can run the most.

It's just that my master, the young human being on my back, always suddenly pulls the rein of the horse that is tired of my neck when I'm just running wildly, making myself unhappy.It's just that the master didn't dislike him for being old, but continued to requisition, so that he felt that he was right with the wrong person.

Lao Hei lowered his head and sprayed out a stream of white mist, but Ouyang on his back was frowning and looking into the distance, carefully looking at the surrounding terrain.The special brigade and a group of them spent the night outside Yunzhong City, and then hurried on horseback.Such an arrangement was completely unexpected to him, but it made him a little excited. You must know that the order that his special brigade received now was to spy on Eiyang Ridge.Such a mission should have been the job of the scouts to scout horses, but due to the importance of the location of the first battle at Eiyang Ridge in the plan, Xu Shiji still made up his mind to let Ouyang and the others come. More than fifty horses were dedicated to the special brigade.In Xu Shiji's eyes, this kind of arrangement was appropriate, but in Ouyang Yu's eyes, he used a butcher's knife to kill chickens.But before the battle started, there was an opportunity to practice in actual combat, and Ouyang was of course happy.

It has been more than half a day since they left the cloud, and now it is late afternoon, the surrounding scenery is faintly discernible, Ouyang wants to take advantage of the last moment before the sun sets to choose a campsite for tonight.They will not and will not be able to drive overnight. In the past half a day, they have traveled nearly seventy miles and will soon be out of the control of Yunzhong City. In another hundred and fifty miles, after passing the Great Wall, they can see the evil sun. Ridge of mountains.

Ouyang chose a leeward mountain depression not far away, surrounded by mountains on two sides, slightly lower than the ground, like a very small basin.Firstly, it will not be blown cold by the wind, and secondly, the location is relatively hidden, which can be defended and attacked, so it can be regarded as a good place.Everyone stopped and ran here when they left the cloud. It would be a lie to say that they are not tired, but according to the special brigade combat rules formulated by Ouyang, if the trip is not urgent, three or four cents of horsepower and manpower must be reserved, so that they cannot be exhausted all at once. .

In less than a moment, a total of 60 people and [-] horses had settled down, five people in one tent, spread out like a plum blossom, and all the horses were piled and tied to the innermost part of the col.The tent is a cowhide tent, which is a bit higher than the general standard of the big camp, and it is only used for the school captain and above in the Bingzhou camp.Everyone's sleeping gear is also specially made by Ouyang, imitating the sleeping bags of later generations of polar explorers. Of course, the material is not as good as it is, but it is many times stronger than the hard straw and linen bedding issued by the army. Of course, all of these are Ouyang has to pay for it. In his opinion, it is necessary to recharge your energy and maintain a good state after marching all the way.

The bonfire was already lit, and the iron pot on the fire exuded a tempting fragrance. The soldiers of the special brigade gathered around the fire to keep warm and chat, relaxing their tired nerves from the day.Of course, they don't need to worry about any sudden change. Firstly, this place is still some distance away from the Turkic control area and harassment area. Secondly, the special brigade's clear and dark sentries have been released, and they will respond immediately if they encounter police.

Ouyang was holding a pile of dry weeds to bedding the horses, and most of the officers of the special brigade were helping him.

"Hey! This beast eats finely, sleeps comfortably, and needs us to take care of it, which is better than my uncle!" Goro stretched out his hand and patted the horse's butt lightly a few times, taking advantage of the opportunity to spread the weeds on the ground.

A few people chuckled and said nothing, they all knew that he was the most "talkative" one in the whole brigade, most of the words sounded like complaints, but he only spoke because he was really restrained, so sometimes he couldn't be serious to listen to.

"Brother, if you want to be the biggest uncle, you might as well sleep with these horses, and I will take care of you." Ouyang finished laying the grass, and smoothed his old black hair. Horses already have feelings.Old Hei seemed to sense his master's love, turned around and gave Ouyang a couple of slaps.

Ge Ye happened to see this scene, and said with emotion: "Marco really can't be treated like a beast, and more often he has to be treated as a brother of life and death. Ma has human nature, and he can feel whether you treat him well or badly." It does. It might save your life when it's really a matter of life and death."

"I know, I know, why don't I just say that, seeing what you two said so fast, I'm going to put on a pair of pants soon!" Goro grinned, but the work in hand was not slow. "Actually, I mean it's really boring. Although the task assigned to us by the governor this time is to go to the front station and spy on the military situation by the way. But after running all the way, I didn't even see the shadow of a Turkic scout. There's nowhere to spread the heat!"

Ge Ye smiled wryly, thinking that Goro's mentality at this time was the same as when he first joined the army. After these years of ups and downs, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Hey, brother, you can be content. If many soldiers were not for Who would want to do the job of hanging their head on the belt of their trousers in that pouring Yongyetian? Feeling like you are playing with the Turkic soldiers?"

"Don't dare to say for fun. Could it be that the skills we have practiced in the past year were in vain? I think we are much more relaxed than those veterans who have been wandering for many years. Although the eighth brother usually trains in a weird way, but after a day Look, it really works! I used to be a blacksmith to put it bluntly, but after this year, I really dare to wrestle with those bullying veterans in the camp! As for the Turkic dog, that’s even more important!” General Wu Lang There was a bang bang sound in my chest, and my excited saliva splashed.

Although everyone felt that the words were a bit full, they were indeed reasonable. Who didn't know how much they weighed?Now I am indeed much stronger than before, and this is all thanks to Ouyang.Who would have thought that such a young brat could be so powerful?

Everyone was boisterously boisterous, but Ouyang was not so happy. To put it bluntly, this kind of thing still needs to be verified through actual combat, but once in actual combat, sword injuries are commonplace, and it is possible to lose an arm, a leg, or even lose your life. Looking at the one in front of you A lively man, he does have some conflicts in his heart.This is the sorrow of war. On the one hand, you have to work hard for the results and look forward to victory, and on the other hand, you must be mentally prepared to go to hell together.

The night wind whistled, sounding as brutal as a devil's cry, and the sound of "whooping" raged across the wilderness, in sharp contrast to the loud or small snoring sounds from the twelve cowhide tents.The bonfire in the camp had long since been extinguished, and under the pale winter moon, the dim luster reflected by the cowhide tent was faintly discernible.If someone passes by this place at night and thinks it is a cemetery if they don't see it clearly, they must be scared out of their wits.

Zhao Ziang huddled in his sleeping bag in the straw nest, unable to fall asleep no matter what.Looking at Qin Feng, who had already fallen asleep with a calm face on the opposite side, I felt both admiration and jealousy in my heart.In the middle of the night today, it was their turn to be on fire alert, plus Qin Feng, a bodyguard, the nine of them formed a half-moon shape and scattered hundreds of feet away from the Shan'aozi camp.This kind of ghostly weather made them have to get into sleeping bags to keep warm. If they just crawled here for half the night, they would freeze to death or have broken bones sooner or later.

He murmured, sighing to himself that his life was too bad to catch up with such a cold night, but he groped around his body, took out a small gourd from his bosom, and twisted it a few times in the limited space of the sleeping bag with his two fingers. He pulled out the cork, put the gourd to his mouth and took a sip. "Heh—" He exhaled lightly, and a wave of warmth spread all over his body in an instant, which also made him a lot more excited.It's not that he is not sleepy, how can he not be tired after a day of running around?It's just that the scene of the night wind howling and the grass flying and rustling just now reminded him of his own home.To be precise, it is the home that I have lost.It was on such a night that at the age of fifteen, he hid in the firewood pile and witnessed with his own eyes the tragic scene of six members of his family being wiped out by the Turks, including his Yeye, his mother, two brothers, and a younger sister. And the daughter-in-law who just passed the door.Although it was the Sui Dynasty at that time, the Turks at that time had already shown their minions.

At that time, he was cowardly, fearful of people and even more afraid of things. He woke up to pee in the middle of the night when he heard something strange in the village, and hurriedly hid in the pile of firewood. When the Turkic soldiers broke in, he had no time to warn his family and could only watch. Watching family members die.Since then, he vowed to make himself stronger, no longer be a tortoise with locks, but also learn the skills of his life.As a result, by accident, he became a bad-tempered soldier in the Bingzhou Army. Every time he killed the enemy, he ran desperately to the front. God took care of him and let him brush against death more than ten times. Only then did he gain the little fame in the army today.

He closed his eyes and tried his best not to think about the unforgettable scene. At this moment, the specially made "Fire on Fire" that he had just eaten just released alcohol, and it was rampaging in his stomach like a hot knife.He was about to move his body a few times to "enjoy" the excitement brought by the strong drink, when he suddenly felt someone push his shoulder, which startled him.It's no wonder he was alone, Qin Feng was the only one beside him, but since the two of them got into this grass nest, Qin Feng didn't say a word, just closed his eyes and rested his mind as if he was asleep.

Turning his face to look, he saw Qin Feng listening attentively, as if he had discovered something.He knew that this man was not an ordinary person, and he knew that he was a very powerful connoisseur just from the few hands he showed on weekdays.So he also pricked up his ears and listened. After a few breaths, just as he was secretly wondering, a vague knocking sound came into his ears along the wind. Come!

"Thirty rides, about three miles..." His eyes opened suddenly, and there was no tension on his face, but he seemed a little more excited!

"Notify them quickly, I'm going back to the camp!" Zhao Ziang only had time to hear a word, and saw a figure flash in front of him, and Qin Feng rose and landed several feet away like a big bird...
