The five hundred and fortieth chapters Long Teng (twenty-four)
In early spring, all herbs are revived, which is the season for all things to grow. During this period, the wars and fires of Pujin Ferry were connected, not only were the business trips cut off, but the birds and beasts were also extinct. However, the creatures in the nearby mountains and wilderness were not affected and were still living their own lives. The forest path that no one has passed for many years has long been covered by wild grass and short trees. A wild bird fell on the tops, and his eyes were turned back and forth.
Soon it discovered the target.
It was a worm that broke through the ground. It had just crawled out from under the ground and was ignorant of life and death. It was the most suitable prey to catch. The wild bird did not rush to attack, but first observed the surroundings vigilantly. After all, there was more than one predator in this world, and if you were not careful, it might turn from a predator into a prey. The worm did not notice that the disaster was coming and was still slowly squirming on the ground.
The wild bird was finally sure there was no danger or competitor, and shook its wings to attack the prey. But just as its wings vibrated, its feet suddenly kicked hard on the treetops, and the branches swayed gently. The wild bird's movements changed from diving to soaring into the sky and flew towards the distance to desperately flying.
Just as the wild bird flew, waves of rolling thunder came from afar, quickly approaching the short tree. Spring thunderstormed the wild bird away, but failed to alarm the ignorant insect. It was still squirming lazily. It seemed that the world was still flat, and its state could be maintained. But its wriggling did not last long, just as its clumsy body was about to climb under the tree where the wild bird was just living, the sky above its head suddenly became gloomy, and the huge horse hooves obscured all the sunlight.
The hooves fell ruthlessly, turning the little life that had just escaped from death into a ball of blood. The horse knight and the war horse that trampled the insects into mud had no idea of the end of this life and galloped under the tree.
Behind this horse, there was a torrent of steel composed of hundreds of people. Countless horse hooves flipped, trampling the weeds and insects hiding in the grass into juice, mixed with the soil to step into flat ground, providing nourishment for the earth. The cavalry with black helmets and black armor had no sense of the changes in this world. They just urged the mounts to hope that the war horses would run faster... faster!
Although Mai Hongen was from Jiangnan, he followed Mai Tiebang as a thief when he was a teenager. In order to escape from the officers and soldiers, he specially developed a good horse-drawn skill. The riding method was first-class among the southerners. However, he was lazy by nature, and was just a thief to survive. He only wanted to escape for convenience when he practiced equestrians, and had no intention of making achievements. After his life was peaceful, he lived a life-thought and practiced his skills. His legs were resurrected. Today, he ran so desperately, and his legs had already worn out.
Such a path is not as smooth as a sport. The road is rough and bumpy. It is also a pity that Xuanjia Rider's foot strength is a first-class blocked horse seized from the Turkic Green Wolf rider. Otherwise, it might not be able to deal with such a dangerous path. The horse can support it, but people are already unable to sustain it. Mai Hongen leaned on the horse's back and felt pain in his legs, his ribs were swelling, his lungs were burning like fire, and his bitter gallbladder was about to be vomited out, but he didn't dare to stay for a moment.
The Li family man behind him was so anxious that he was like a fire in the room. His aggressive look was frightening. If he was a little lazy, he would probably slash him with a straight knife. As for the young man who was known as Le Langjun, he would not be angry and angry, and he would not see him angry and curse people. However, when he looked at him, he felt a chill from his eyes. He would rather try his best to urge the horse to suffer than make him angry. After all, he still had to worry about the brothers who surrendered together. In order to survive, he had to accept it because he could work harder and sadder.
Although Li Shimin and his group were working harder along the way than Mai Hongen, no one felt it was hard. Even if they wanted to compete for the world, it was common to be hard-working and hard, and they couldn't even bear this hard work. How could they do big things?
The only horse of the Xuanjia cavalry is Xu Le. Xu Le and Li Shimin are brothers. Li Shimin is Xuanjia cavalry's own brother. How can he complain for his own family? Besides, compared with Mayi and Heng'an during those days, what is this suffering?
Song Bao has always been a scheming and sloppy and fearing heavy weight, and has already complained loudly in the past. However, since Xu Le and Li Yuan recognized each other, his ambition has rapidly expanded and he is determined to be a pillar country. If you want to seek the position of the pillar country, you naturally cannot be afraid of hard work. Charging into battle is indeed a matter of course, and you have to watch the world and listen to all directions when marching, and find opportunities to please noble people at any time.
Along the way, he endured the pain of bumps and never complained. He just looked around and looked at his eyes to find an opportunity to show his face. Suddenly, Song Bao shouted loudly: "Look, two men, look, fire! There is fire!"
In fact, without him calling, everyone had already noticed fire and rolling black smoke rising in the distance. Without asking, everyone had already approached the battlefield. McHonn held the reins and gasped for a few breaths, then said intermittently: "Follow this road... go forward, hurry..."
Li Shimin ignored him and looked at Xu Le, and the two looked at each other. Xu Le smiled slightly: "I can't hear the sound of golden drums here, and I don't know if the winner has been decided at the other side of the ferry."
"A real man only wants to be ashamed of his heart, and does not have to demand the result. Our army has done its best. If it still cannot do what it wants, even if God will do so, there is nothing to say."
Xu Le nodded: "Since you have figured it out, that's great." Speaking of this, Xu Le pointed to the branches of trees swaying with the wind behind him and said to Li Shimin: "In my opinion, God's will is on Erlang's side. I wonder if Erlang has ever noticed that the wind has changed?"
Li Shimin was stunned. He was just urging the horse to move quickly and did not notice the change in the wind direction. It was not until Xu Le mentioned that he realized that this was true, but he still did not understand what the change in the wind direction had to do with the Pujin war.
Bu Li suddenly spoke: "The wind direction will change soon, and the wind will become stronger."
The little wolf girl has always cherished her words like gold. Even Aunt Han is an elder who waits for her like her biological daughter and combs her hair every day. She may not be able to hear her say a word for her all day. At this time, she will naturally not be aimless. Li Shimin knew that Buli came from the Liang Haite tribe, a tribe that was developed by fox hunting, was not only good at cultivating archers, but also had experience in predicting weather changes.
After all, the livelihood of fox hunting is somewhat dependent on the taste of eating. If you don’t understand the changes in the weather, you will not only not be able to hunt foxes, but you may also have a life. Bu Li said this naturally, and it will definitely be related to military information.
This wind...
Li Shimin's eyes fell on the looming fire light in the distance, and then suddenly realized that the wind power is very strong today, and the change in the wind direction will inevitably affect the fire. If he was a general, he would never let his subordinates set fire at will to avoid causing fire to burn him. Yu Juluo has been through a great enemy for a long time, and obviously he would not be so reckless. The person who is most likely to set fire is Li Jiancheng.
Although my elder brother was familiar with military affairs when he was young, he was not good at combat formation polishing, and all around him were all those aristocratic families. After reading a few military books and listening to the elders in his family telling the glory of the old family, he thought he was full of strategies and strategy. It was not uncommon to think of a way to attack the fire after slapping his head. At this time, the wind direction changed, so my elder brother was afraid that he would suffer a big loss.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin was shocked. After all, he was a fellow-in-law. When he thought that Li Jiancheng might be trapped in the sea of fire, he was naturally worried and wanted to fly to his brother in one step and rescue him from the danger. He quickly said to Xu Le: "Mr. Le Langjun, I'm afraid that the situation of the enemy in front will change, so we have to go there quickly. I'm afraid there is no time to rest."
Xu Le nodded and said, "It should have been like this. Erlang rested. This path would not make the Xuanjia Cavalry lose its combat power." As he spoke, Xu Le lowered his face and his handsome face were replaced by the mighty and angry statue of the King Kong. With this "click" sound, the rest of the Xuanjia Cavalry also pushed them over and sat upright.
Without the need for the generals to shout, the team was still rectified according to the establishment. With Xu Le and Li Jiancheng urging the mounts, these black-armored cavalry followed the two main generals all the way. Mai Hongen was breathing while on the side, no one paid attention to it. Such people had nothing to do with the overall situation, so they would just let him die.
Watching the armored cavalry gradually fade away, Mai Hongen wiped his forehead and sweated coldly. After all, he was also a red man who had been in the army for half his life, and had followed such a powerful general like Mai Tiezhang, and his vision was still quite good. From the Southern Chen to the Great Sui Dynasty, he had seen countless powerful soldiers. Before the Emperor of Daye's expedition, the elite armored soldiers of the twelve guards also performed martial arts in Chang'an. Mai Hongen had appreciated the majestic posture of the Han children more than once.
But in his opinion, whether it is the current Jingzhao Yingyang soldiers or the elite soldiers of the twelve guards that day, they are much worse than this Xuan armored cavalry. The marching and rushing lineup is strict and the morale is high. No one in the entire army complains. Such powerful soldiers are not common in the era when the Five Barbarians invade China and the heroes compete for the Lu. Only such elite soldiers are qualified to be Yu Wudi's opponents. With such a team, maybe the world will really change its surname to Li?
After thinking for a long time, Mai Hongen felt a little depressed. If he had not been lazy and wasted his time over the years, practiced martial arts seriously and had a stronger courage, he would probably become a decent military general. In such a chaotic world, he might have made some achievements. Even if he died, it would be better than being so careless in front of him.
