Chapter 17: The horses are in hand and ready to fight
The next day, Shen Tang and the others slept in the shop all day. When it was getting dark, they headed east of the city.
By the time we arrived at the market place yesterday, it was already sparsely populated, but we could see the horse seller Ya Zi from a distance, waiting for Shen Tang and the others to arrive.
"Are you guys here?" Yazi said with a smile.
Shen Tang nodded, "The money is ready, but I wonder where the horses are?"
"The horses are already outside the city. All you have to do is follow me..." Yazi said in response.
The few people didn't waste any time and went straight out of the city from the south! There was a fee to enter the city, but no one stopped them from leaving the city. Even the soldiers were ignored.
After leaving the city, after walking another four or five miles south, I saw a group of more than 20 Jin soldiers, leading a hundred tall horses, waiting in front. These horses had bits in their mouths and hooves. Hundreds of horses were tied with linen and gathered together, but there was no sound.
"Excuse me, Lord Dobu!" Na Yazi bowed respectfully to the leading Jin man, and then asked Shen Tang, "Can you inspect these horses?"
Lei Quan and his two men were asked to inspect the horses, while Shen Tang and Yazi stood aside.
"My lord, the road ahead is difficult, and we have to be careful about the ghosts behind us!" Na Yazi suddenly spoke, and his voice was extremely low. Even if Shen Tang was right next to him, he could barely hear him clearly.
These sudden words made Shen Tang's heart skip a beat. Although these words were a bit incomprehensible, they actually had some meaning! In this way, his previous conjecture was probably true!
Looking around, Shen Tang said in a low voice: "Brother, I have a question that I want to ask!"
Na Yazi smiled and said, "You may say so, sir! But you may not have the answer!"
"There is a mouth under the knife, and there are ears beside the mouth. I wonder, brother, do you know what this word is?" Shen Tang's voice was low, but his eyes were staring at Yazi's face.
Sure enough, I saw that Yazi's originally lazy expression suddenly dimmed, his pupils also tightened, and there was a look of horror in his eyes. However, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
"The horses are all good horses!" Lei Quan and others checked the horses and reported back to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang nodded, took out the banknote that had been prepared from his sleeve, and handed it to Yazi. Yazi hesitated slightly, stepped forward and grabbed the banknote, but while the two were approaching, he said quickly: "Fifteen miles south of Qingtai Mountain, there are forty golden soldiers!"
"Well, the money is just right! The business is settled, I wish you all a safe journey!" Yazi chuckled, and then, surrounded by the golden soldiers, he returned directly to Qinyang City.
"Ding Liu, go and summon the others. Just ask Teng Wu to leave three or five people behind and hide around us to take precautions!" Shen Tang said to Ding Liu.
Ding Liu nodded, but clasped his hands on his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and then, like the sound of a bird singing at night, it instantly spread throughout the lonely night sky!
"Sir, these are some small tricks I use to back Wei Jun. Don't look at it as simple. The length, frequency, and pitch of the sound are enough to convey a lot of information! Ding Liu should have made an agreement with others. The three sounds just now were slightly different. The low, short sound should represent the request for Teng Wu and the others to leave the three of them behind, and the sound followed by the long tail sound should represent the return of everyone."
When Shen Tang heard this, he couldn't help but marveled. Although there were all kinds of inconveniences in ancient times, the smart ancients used their unique methods to create many techniques that would surprise future generations. Whoever thinks that the ancients were dull? Is a real fool.
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, a group of people rushed towards them from all directions. It was Shang Kai, Teng Wu and others who were hiding in the dark!
Seeing these good horses, everyone present was extremely excited. Teng Wu and others were also soldiers back then, and they were among the best, and they were even more elite with strong backs. Soldiers have an unusual ability to handle such weapons of war. of love.
"Sir, the matter has been settled. How about we return south overnight? With this good horse riding on us, we can return to the border of the Song Dynasty in just one day and night."
Shen Tang nodded, "It should be like this, but there is one more thing we need to do, otherwise, the road ahead may be difficult!"
"In the Qingtai Mountains fifteen miles ahead, there are forty golden soldiers, who are probably trying to intercept us! We have two ways to go. One is to find a way to bypass the Qingtai Mountains, and the other is to Take advantage of this dark night to fight with them and kill them! What do you think we should do?"
"real?"
Shen Tang's words made everyone present stunned, and then everyone became happy. Just like a pack of wolves who saw their prey, everyone could not control themselves!
"Sir, do you need to say this? We are just forty golden soldiers. Although our number is small, we are in the dark. As long as we make arrangements and catch them off guard, we will definitely achieve success in a battle!" Teng Wu said excitedly.
Soldiers live and die on the battlefield. Except for Shen Tang, who else here does not have the dream of a bloody battle on the battlefield?
"Sir, it's just forty golden soldiers. Even if it's Tiefutu or Guaizima, we can still fight!" Lei Quan said sternly.
Tiefutu and Guaizima were the elites of the Jin Kingdom, and the Beiwei Army was a powerful force in the Song Dynasty! Back then, under the leadership of Yue Fei, countless elites from the Northern Kingdom were killed by the blades of the Beiwei Army! The incident in Shanhe Village was caused by both sides. There is a huge disparity in strength between them, but there are only forty people on the other side right now, and their strength is enough to give them a fight!
"good!"
Shen Tang shouted, "In that case, we will accept the lives of these forty golden soldiers."
The reason why everyone was so excited was not only because they were angry at the Jin Army, but also because the scene in Shanhe Village had stimulated everyone. But now that they were finally able to vent their anger, how could they be willing to retreat?
"Sir, please leave this battle to us, I won't disappoint you!" Lei Quan said eagerly.
Shen Tang nodded. He knew very well that he was far inferior to Lei Quan and others when it came to soldier battles. If a large army fought, he could still dominate one or two with the battle formations in his memory. However, now he was not as good as Lei Quan and others. We are not familiar with the strength and cooperation methods, and reluctantly intervening will only cause trouble.
"Everyone, let this Jin man know once again how strong our Song army is today!" Lei Quan turned around and said to everyone present word by word.
"Ding Liu, you go immediately to investigate the situation of the Jin people and report back quickly! Teng Wu, then you lead a group of brothers to hide on horseback. If you find the enemy soldiers absconding, kill them on the spot! We must not let any of them escape alive. ! The others are waiting, wearing armor and carrying weapons, and follow me on horseback to march on the golden soldiers!"
Under Shen Tang's gaze, Lei Quan immediately gave the order!
