Chapter 12: Broken Soldiers Like Ants(1/2)
The stars hang down and the wilderness is wide!
After the snow is clear, the night sky is full of stars. Even if the moonlight is gone, the snow-covered grassland is still bright.
Behind a small hill, more than ten bonfires were burning brightly, which was the camping site of Li Hanqing and his party.
There are no tents in the camp.
I rushed all the way, and no one was willing to set up a tent again. What's more, if I set up a tent and encountered an enemy situation, will the tent be collected?
There is no tent, and it cannot stop the biting night wind. Fortunately, there is a bonfire and a felt blanket. If you wrap the felt blanket and then roast the low fire, you won’t feel too cold.
"You want to call me..."
Some people are chatting in a low voice, and some are howling loudly. The tone is still the same, but the lyrics have changed, "Who doesn't want to come? / Which kid doesn't want to come? / Your family is strong and tall / Your father is still tied up a vicious dog behind the wall..."
Listening to the howl of the wolf, Li Hanqing, the culprit, could only smile bitterly.
Sure enough, the creativity of the people is endless!
"Brother Historical,"
He Wei, who was sitting aside, saw Li Hanqing's expression and was a little confused, "What's your expression? What's wrong?"
Along the way, He Wei became familiar with Li Hanqing.
"fine!"
Li Hanqing forced a smile, "I'm just a little tired!"
"Who isn't tired?"
He Wei suddenly realized and sighed, "I've been 80 miles this afternoon! You really don't say it..."
As he said that, He Wei patted his leggings, "This thing really works!"
"Of course I'll do it!"
Li Hanqing still has this confidence, but he didn't want to worry about this issue and asked casually, "He Wei, how far is Zhenyuan City?"
"Zhenyuancheng,"
He Wei smiled slightly, "There are still four hundred miles left!"
"There are four hundred miles left?"
Li Hanqing was stunned, "This...we are retreating a little far, right?"
Li Hanqing naturally wanted to retreat to the Central Plains and get rid of this damn war. However, after all, he is still a soldier and the military law is under control. If he retreats like this, he will be more than 400,500 miles... Is there any problem?
"Far?"
What does it mean to be a bitter smile, "Not far away at all!"
As he said that, He Wei glanced at Li Hanqing, and his expression became a little more solemn, "In less than half a month, there will be a big battle in the front line of Zhenyuan City... Do you believe it?"
"letter!"
Li Hanqing gave the answer without hesitation.
"Well……"
Li Hanqing's answer was obviously a bit unexpected, which surprised him a little, "I didn't expect you to see it too!"
As he said that, He Wei sighed, with a little angry look, "Damn, a million troops went to war and actually fought to this point..."
"Shh!"
Upon hearing this, Li Hanqing was shocked and quickly made a gesture of silence.
He understood where He Wei's indignation came from, but he was the emperor's personal expedition, so how could he criticize himself?
"I'm afraid of it!"
He Wei's voice was three points higher, "Millions of soldiers and thousands of generals were actually led by the Northern Barbarians all the way. I'm so embarrassed for them!"
Damn it, just an angry young man!
Li Hanqing was unable to complain and glanced at the surroundings with guilt. However, except for the brothers of the Knight Guard, the others continued to howl when they were chatting.
"hehe……"
Xia Boyan, who was chatting with Yao Zhongyi, saw that Yao Zhongyi and others looked strange, and quickly started to smooth things over. His smile was awkward, "Master Yao, don't be surprised, this kid is just...a..."
As he said that, Xia Boyan could not find the words.
In this situation, you can't say "this kid is just a straight person"?
"well……"
This battle was not easy to be fulfilled, and Xia Boyan had no choice but to sigh and play the card of sadness, "The commander doesn't know that He Wei was originally a child of an official. Speaking of which, his grandfather was once the minister of the great Li court..."
"He Jingzhong?!"
Xia Boyan spoke in a vague manner, but Yao Zhongyi let out a low voice, then he looked as usual and moved away from the topic, "Brother Boyan, I wonder if you have any knowledge of the method of fighting formation..."
There are some things in life that really need to be avoided!
Of course, there are many people in the world who speak freely, but such people will basically end up in a miserable end.
Although Yao Zhongyi admires such a person, he does not have the courage to become such a person!
"Pu da...pa..."
On the side, Li Hanqing felt that he could not continue chatting with He Wei. When he was embarrassed, he heard the sudden sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded. He was shocked and his hand had already touched the hilt of the knife around his waist.
"Pu da...pa..."
The camp suddenly became silent, and only the monotonous sound of horse hooves echoed in the night.
"Captain..."
A horse rushed to the camp in the hazy night, and the knight immediately turned over and dismounted and headed straight for Xia Boyan, looking panicked, "A large group of Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry was found three miles north..."
"Puff puff puff..."
Before the knight finished speaking, the soldiers had already taken action together and fired.
"It's coming so fast?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Boyan was shocked, "Do you find out how many people are there?"
"No,"
The knight shook his head quickly, looking embarrassed, "Brothers don't dare to get too close..."
"Emperor Yao..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Boyan looked at Yao Zhongyi. Seeing Yao Zhongyi nodding, he quickly stood up and ordered, "Get out immediately..."
So the soldiers had to continue rushing.
The hazy starlight reflects the white snow, and the night is extremely beautiful, but it is not beautiful at all to smear in such a night!
“Dog-ho,”
Not far away, someone started to curse angrily, "Don't the Northern Barbarians need to sleep?"
"sleep?"
Hearing this, someone explained with a wry smile, "I can fall asleep on the horse's back!"
"Fuck!"
I called the man speechless before.
"Kong Dazui, you're talking nonsense again!"
Of course, some people expressed doubts, "Even if the Northern Barbarians can sleep on horseback, then the war horse must sleep, right? Can they still run continuously?"
"Du Erdan, you know a egg!"
Kong Damou sneered, "Have you seen a war horse sleeping lying? Besides, how far we are from Tiemu City? It's more than a hundred miles away, but they ride a war horse, and it takes less than two hours to arrive!"
"Well……"
The donkey two eggs were stuck and he was unable to refute.
Li Hanqing walked in the hazy snow with one foot and one foot, quietly listening to the quarrels of several people, but was very worried.
The Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry did come too fast, and there were still four hundred miles ahead!
I'm afraid it's inevitable to encounter it!
It is not as fast as the daytime traveling, and it is even more tiring. It is more than ten miles away. It is almost midnight. The soldiers were sleepy and tired, so they just made up their minds, set up camp and went to bed.
You can last for a few days without eating or drinking, but you can't last for long without sleeping!
The stars hang down and the wilderness is wide!
After the snow is clear, the night sky is full of stars. Even if the moonlight is gone, the snow-covered grassland is still bright.
Behind a small hill, more than ten bonfires were burning brightly, which was the camping site of Li Hanqing and his party.
There are no tents in the camp.
