Chapter two hundred and sixteen the horse
Chapter 216: Capture the Horse
Dozens or hundreds of sharp arrows cut through the dark night sky and made a sharp roar. In less than a moment, the twenty baggage soldiers who were carrying the fodder fell into a pool of blood. Although nearly half of the baggage soldiers were only slightly injured and struggled to escape, they did not wait for them to escape far, more than a hundred sneak attackers surrounded them with bright swords.
After a brief and fierce confrontation, the injured baggage soldiers were wiped out and the sneak attackers won a complete victory.
Soon, twenty of the more than a hundred sneak attackers were separated, and they changed into the costumes of the Northern Army, and then drove towards the northern military camp more than ten miles away with the forage.
Northern military camp.
The gate was closed, and more than a dozen whistlemen holding spears stood behind the gate, constantly searching the dark wilderness outside the camp with vigilant eyes. Not far from the gate, a small group of rangers were patrolling back and forth along the fences around the camp. The torches were clear in the camp, and there were light or dark sentries everywhere, which seemed to be heavily guarded.
A starry sky suddenly appeared in the dark wilderness ahead, and then a horse neighed and a boiling sound came with the wind. The whistlemen who were in charge of guarding the gate immediately became alert. The leader's right hand had already pressed the knife handle. Once the situation was found to be wrong, he immediately ordered a warning.
In less than a cup of tea, the pair of torches in front of him approached the gate.
Seeing that this team of people was a baggage team responsible for escorting fodders, the dozen northern troops guarding the gate couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, out of caution and military discipline, the captain of the Northern Army led by the Northern Army still shouted loudly: "Call!"
The baggage team stopped, and the leader came forward and shouted: "There is no way to go in the barren mountains, please return to the order!"
The camp guard team leader, who pressed the right hand on the knife handle, relaxed and replied: "Northern man, open the door!"
With the command of the camp, the closed gate opened, and the baggage team outside the camp slowly drove in with more than a dozen carts of fodder. More than a dozen Northern Army soldiers who were responsible for guarding the gate went to both sides and watched the baggage team enter the camp. The captain of the battalion standing in front suddenly exclaimed and asked, "Hey, why isn't He Laosi?"
The headed team leader was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but touch the knife handle with his right hand. Seeing this, the twenty northern soldiers who were responsible for escorting the forage materials also quietly reached towards the forage truck. Just when the headed team leader gave the order, they would draw out their weapons without hesitation to kill them.
The air seemed to solidify at this moment.
Just when the captain of the baggage team thought it was exposed and was about to draw its sword to face each other, the captain of the battalion suddenly lowered his voice and said to the captain of the baggage team mysteriously: "Hey, I'm saying, brother, has He Laosi committed a crime? The fodder he transported to our wing a few days ago was all bad. This kid must have taken the benefits of the fodder dealer."
The baggage team leader breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly let go of his right hand holding the knife handle, and smiled bitterly: "Well, I really don't know."
"Haha, understand, understand." The camp guard team leader waved his hand and smiled, "Let's go quickly, the quarantine officer is anxious."
The baggage team leader nodded, greeted the baggage soldiers behind him, and rushed into the camp with more than a dozen carts of fodder.
Gushan Military Horse Farm.
The entire military horse farm looks like a huge military camp, but the ones stationed here all year round are only a local security brigade in the northern province. Although it is a military nominal army, it is actually a herdsman. The riding skills of this security brigade are okay, but its combat effectiveness is no longer on the table. There is still a significant difference between the security brigade who has never been to the battlefield and the veterans who crawled out of the rain of guns and arrows. The difference is almost a world of difference.
It was already dark, and the horses grazing in the grassland returned to the horse circles of the military horse farm one after another. The guards guarding the horse farm closed the gate as usual and sent a ranger and a post around the horse farm, but these security measures seemed to be perfunctory.
Under the faint moonlight, an army of more than 2,000 people was approaching the military horse farm.
Of course, this army was the barbarians led by Meng Hu and Xiong Batian. After several rounds of time between Dasonglin City and Xiaosonglin City, successfully escaped from the two pursuits, the army plunged into the vast forest on the southern foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain. After two days and two nights of rapid march, they quietly touched outside the Gushan Army Horse Field.
The crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded not far away from the front. With the faint moonlight, Meng Hu, who was walking in the front of the team, suddenly saw a team of northern rangers swimming by not far from the front. Meng Hu hurriedly raised his right arm and squatted down at the same time. The barbarians following Meng Hu followed him to the grass.
Jia Wudao, who was closely behind Meng Hu, crawled forward with two steps with his elbows and said, "General, it seems that there is nothing unusual about Gushan Military Horse Farm, but Bei Zhi always feels a little up and down. He always thinks that this matter is going too smoothly? It is said that the old thief Shi Miyuan cannot not know that we will attack Gushan Military Horse Farm?"
Meng Hu stared at the military horse farm not far ahead without responding.
Jia Wudao thought about it and said, "General, should we take action after General Xingba succeeds?"
"No!" Meng Hu raised his hand suddenly and said decisively, "No more, no matter whether Zhang Xingba can succeed or not, we must do it."
Xiong Batian approached Meng Hu from the other side and said grimly: "General, just give orders, the tribesmen can't wait!"
The small orphan city is outside, and the northern military camp.
The dozen carts of fodder escorted by the baggage squad were finally sent to the stable. The quarantine officer, who had been impatient, stepped forward and scolded the baggage squadron leader. After that, he captured the men of the baggage squad and forced them to help the logistics team in the barracks feed the three thousand war horses in the stable.
The careless quarconian did not notice it. When he ordered the logistics team to assist the logistics soldiers in feeding the war horses, a heart-wrenching cold light flashed through the eyes of the baggage team leader.
Gushan Military Horse Farm.
Meng Hu looked up at Xia Xinyue, who was lonely in the sky, suddenly stood up, waved his strong right arm forward, and shouted without hesitation: "Kill!"
Xiong Batian and Lang Hao behind Meng Hu jumped up, and they pulled out their horses and pointed them forward fiercely, and used a man's words to look up at the sky and make a long spell: "Kill..."
"Kill and kill!"
Behind Xiong Batian and Wolf's hair, more than two thousand barbarians jumped up one after another, flipped out their hands and pulled out their battle knife, followed Meng Hu and swarmed towards the military horse farm in front. Under the dark night sky, more than two thousand barbarians were like a group of extremely hungry prairie wolves, roaring and rushing forward.
Horse farm camp.
The owner of the horse farm, the captain of the brigade and two prostitutes, Hu Tianhu Di, had just fallen asleep. While he was sleeping, he suddenly heard a loud shout outside. He couldn't help but wake up suddenly. Then he pushed away the two prostitutes wrapped around him and turned over from the soft couch and asked in a panic: "What's going on? What's wrong?"
As soon as the captain of the security brigade finished speaking, a small team leader rolled and crawled into the tent and said in panic: "Sir, it's not good, it's not good!"
The guard brigade slapped the captain in the face and asked sternly, "Tell me quickly, what's wrong?"
"Enemy attack!" The captain uh and replied in panic, "An unidentified enemy attacked the military horse farm!"
"Nonsense!" the captain of the security sternly shouted, "What unidentified enemy? Where did the enemy come from?"
"Really, what the villain said is true." The captain said anxiously, "Sir, run away quickly. The enemy has already entered the horse farm. If you don't run away, it will be too late..."
"Puff puff puff puff puff puff..."
As the captain finished speaking, a harsh tearing sound suddenly sounded around the cowhide tent. When the captain of the security team and the captain looked around quickly, they saw more than a dozen bright war horses tearing the entire tent into pieces. The next moment, the entire cowhide tent suddenly disintegrated, and a large group of black enemies appeared in front of the two.
The two prostitutes who had just turned over and sat up from the soft couch suddenly screamed, hurriedly pulling the cashmere and covering their naked and plump bodies. The captain of the guard and the captain of the guard were all experiencing their souls. When they reached out to draw their swords, four bright war horses had already been placed on the necks of the two. The guard captain wailed and scattered in his crotch as soon as he soaked his pee.
The small orphan city is effective, the northern military camp.
It was already deep in the night, but Ma Sifeng had not fallen asleep.
As an imperial soldier, General Ma Sifeng did not hesitate to implement the military orders of the Ministry of War. He would lead the Northern Army to mercilessly eliminate any enemy that fled into the northern provinces. Even if this army was the Tiger Army led by Meng Hu, it was the same as the friendship with Meng Hu and the Tiger Legion, and it was another matter to implement the military orders of the Ministry of War. Ma Sifeng would never abolish the public for personal gain.
But from an emotional perspective, Ma Sifeng was not willing to be hostile to Meng Hu, not only because Meng Hu and the Tiger Legion are terrible opponents, but also because Meng Hu is a respectable opponent. The Tiger Legion is a respectable army. This is something that people who have not dealt with them cannot understand.
Ma Sifeng clearly remembers the belief of the Tiger Legion: as solid as a rock, never give up; share life and death, never give up!
A breeze blew in through the gaps of the cowhide tent, and the rosin torches in the tent were swaying, just like the expression on Ma Sifeng's face at this time. He took a deep breath. Ma Sifeng slowly stood up, then opened the curtain and walked outside the tent. Looking at the faint crescent moon in the dark night sky, he murmured: "General Meng Hu, I really hope you don't come to the northern province..."
When Ma Sifeng was feeling the moon, a sudden sound of horse hooves sounded in front of him. Then a horse rushed to Ma Sifeng's central tent like lightning. The knight on the horse's back flew off the horse, knelt down again, shouting loudly: "Governor, Gushan Army Horse Field is in urgent need!"
