A burst of meaty aroma wafted out, the surface of the barbecue was slightly burnt, and oil had seeped out and dripped onto the fire. Xue Chong took back the barbecue and put it under his nose, "Well, that's right. The native cattle from Nanzhao Prefecture are best for roasting. You
This ingredient is very fragrant. Please write me the recipe later.
He gave a thumbs up, pulled out a dagger, and cut a thin slice along the texture of the barbecue. He picked up the piece of meat with the tip of the knife and was about to put it into his mouth.
Phew, a gust of wind blew by, and a hand took away the piece of barbecue.
"His, hoo, hoo, hoo, it's so hot." Ding Kui said while chewing the barbecue, "It's good. The meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The tendons are broken but not loose. The spices are full of flavor. Captain Xue, we will set up a stall later.
You can definitely make a lot of money selling barbecue."
"Why did you come back so silently? You didn't catch anything, did you? It's so late at night, why are you going to make do with those scouts?"
He, he definitely can't stop him, the kid in front of him is only eighteen years old.
"Captain Xue, why do you look down on me so much? I'm just an informant to the enemy. How come you can't deal with your top elite?" Ding Kui waved his hand back.
Ji Xing and Xu Yan came with their own people and each escorted a group of prisoners.
"The enemy secretly infiltrated twenty archers with the intention of spying on our troops. They have all been captured alive by the first squadron led by my subordinates. Please give instructions to the captain." Ding Kui formally went through the process and handed the prisoners to Xue Chong.
"Excuse me? Your department is responsible for taking care of them. Their food, drink, and food will be left to you. When the division comes, leave it to the staff. In the future, you can just leave one or two alive. Bringing them all back is a waste of food. Now
Well, if I catch them, I won't be able to kill them." Xue Chong shook his head and lamented Ding Kui's lack of experience.
The twenty captive souls were almost scared to death. This tall and thin man had great intentions of killing them. We had to be wary in the future and not give him an excuse to kill.
Seeing the prisoners being taken away, Xue Chong remembered that he had not eaten barbecue yet, so he raised the wooden stick in his hand and asked, "Where is my meat?" The stick was empty.
Feng Liang and Ao Yu on the side turned their backs at the same time, rubbing their bodies with two pairs of greasy claws.
Xue Chong stared at the wooden stick, "A piece of meat the size of an arm, when did he take it away? It's in my hand, I don't know." No need to guess, he knew very well who could do it.
The First Brigade does not need a strong camp. If an enemy attacks, they will mount their horses and run away. They will not stay in place and fight to the death with the enemy. The cavalry's mobile warfare does not mean fleeing without fighting, but it means giving full play to its own advantages.
.
Since they had already appeared during the day and the twenty archers were missing, the Meng army did not prepare to attack the first brigade at night, knowing that it would not be able to retain this cavalry unit without some special means.
There are many troops in Xiaxuan Pass. The Meng Ninth Army Corps plus the original guarding troops have a strength of more than 70,000. However, their top commander, Legion Commander Hong Jin, is not in the pass at this time, but was called by a military order.
The front line of Jianshi City is now having a headache on how to face Helianyu. As a result, although the First Battalion is so close to Xiaxuan Pass, it still comes out to intercept and kill the Meng soldiers during the day, and camped next to the ruins of the original Duguan Camp at night.
There was no Meng army coming out to disperse them.
Xue Chong, Ding Kui and the others spent another leisurely day until at noon on the third day, the long-awaited flag of the 2o1 Division appeared on the northwest horizon.
The first squadron immediately ran to the camp and energetically divided them into ten groups according to the squadron and lined them up. Xue Chong held the military flag and lined up in front of Ding Kui.
The army stopped about two hundred meters away from the first group. A fat and strong man ran out and came between the army and the first group and pulled the reins.
"Really?" Xue Chong asked Ding Kui with a slight tilt of his head.
"Yes!" Ding Kui nodded and replied.
"Drive!" Xue Chong shook the reins, urged the horse to run towards the fat and strong man, and reined in the horse when he was seven or eight meters away.
!”
"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay! Guys! You did a good job!" Zhang Jie nodded to Xue Chong, and then waved to everyone in the first brigade.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir!" All the members of the first brigade responded with fists on horseback.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates and the first battalion request to return to the army!" General Xue Chong raised the flag above his head.
"Well, your mood is understandable. According to the order of the base camp, your troops can be recalled only after the construction of the camp is completed. At the moment, your troops cannot officially return to the army. However, your troops can camp next to the army. Xue Chong, Xia Xuan
Is there any enemy troops coming out of the pass and coming here to fight with your troops?" Zhang Jie did not dare to let the first brigade formally return to the team. Although there are no outsiders here, the superficial skills still need to be sufficient.
"My lord, the enemy troops at Xiaxuan Pass have not moved yet, and there are only a few scouts operating outside the pass." Xue Chong had no choice but to put down the military flag, and they wanted to continue to stay in the simple camp.
"The army must clean up this ruins immediately. Your troops will immediately march eastward and drive away the enemy scouts until they are within ten miles of Xiaxuan Pass. Pay close attention to the enemy's situation in Xiaxuan Pass and report back immediately if there are any signs of the enemy troops leaving the Pass." Zhang Jie said.
Xue Chong was not allowed to return to the team, but he took back the command right away.
"Yes!" Xue Chong straightened his back on the horse and beat his chest with his right hand.
"By the way, let the First Squadron stay." Zhang Jie glanced at Ding Kui.
Xue Chong did not dare to ask why, so he had to perform another military salute before circling the horse and running back to the first brigade.
"Why do you want me to stay?" Ding Kui's eyes rolled around, trying to find out something from Zhang Jie and Da Jun.
"Ding Kui, come here." Zhang Jie formally called his name.
Ding Kui followed Xue Chong's example and ran to a stop seven or eight meters in front of Zhang Jie, "Subordinate Ding Kui, pay your respects to your lord!"
Zhang Jie turned around and waved, "Here comes the flag."
Liang Chong ran out on horseback, holding a wooden box in his hand. He ran to Zhang Jie and stopped a horse's head behind.
"According to the military order of Lord Gu Jun of the 21st Army Corps, Ding Kui, the 1st Squadron of the 1st Battalion of the 2o1 Division, made outstanding military exploits in the battle of Wanggui City. His bravery in combat should be an example for the Army. He is specially awarded an honorary battle flag for the Army.
The flag is 'Brave', in recognition of your outstanding contributions to the legion!" After Zhang Jie said this, he stretched out his hand, and Liang Chong quickly presented the wooden box with both hands.
"Ding Kui takes the flag." Zhang Jie held the wooden box in front of his chest.
Ding Kui did not dismount. The cavalry troops held such flag-giving ceremonies on horseback, which meant that the cavalrymen were never leaving their horses. He rode up to Zhang Jie and stretched out his hands. Zhang Jie solemnly held his hands
Put the wooden box into his hand.
"Brave! Brave! Brave!" The army of the 2o1 Division burst into a tsunami-like cry at this moment, and even the first brigade watching on the side couldn't help shouting along.
