The rain continued for three days, and on the third day, the rain stopped.

"Sake-sama!" Xue Rengui only felt cold, the firearms supervisor had been here for three days, and now I am afraid that the army is about to arrive in Lanzhou City! ”

The other soldiers were also hundred cavalry soldiers and couldn't help but be restless, if it weren't for the fact that Merton had been as steady as Mount Tai, they might not have been able to sit still.

Merton looked at the gradually clear sky, and then he couldn't wait to say, "Hurry up." ”

"Yes!" Xue Rengui immediately received amnesty, and hurriedly called the hundred cavalry soldiers to put on the carriage and dismantle the camp tent.

"Send it out immediately, the camp tent is left here, naturally someone will help us collect it, and there will be a new camp tent in Lanzhou." Merton saw that the soldiers began to close the camp tent and immediately stopped it, this is not the time to care about these small things.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately put down the items in their hands and immediately turned over and got on their horses.

"Drive!"

The convoy of the Firearms Superintendent immediately departed.

As soon as the firearms supervisor left, the soldiers arranged by Su Dingfang were already waiting there, so they immediately stepped forward to dismantle the camp tents, load them into carriages, and set off.

At this moment, the firearms supervisor was either a cavalry or a horse-drawn carriage, and the whole army was very fast, and in less than an hour, it had already traveled fifty miles.

"General, the carriages and horses can't hold it anymore." Xue Rengui saw that the carriages and horses were tired, and the speed of the march had dropped a lot, so he couldn't help but say worriedly.

Merton took a breath, took out the map from his arms, looked at it, and said, "Don't worry, keep going, there is support ahead." ”

Sure enough, the firearms supervisor had just advanced a few miles before he saw a huge concentration of people.

"Mohou! General Su ordered me to wait here. "As soon as the firearms superintendent approached, a lieutenant stepped forward to report.

"There's General Lausu." Merton breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the lieutenant and asked, "Are the horses I want ready?" ”

The captain nodded and said, "Mo Hou rest assured, there are a total of 100 good horses, all of which have been trimmed for more than three hours. ”

Merton immediately waved his hand and said, "Put on new horses, and set off immediately after a quarter of an hour." ”

A quarter of an hour later, the firearms superintendent set out again, and although these horses were not as good as a hundred horses, they were well rested, and immediately the speed of the firearms superintendent's march increased again, and immediately galloped westward toward the straight brick road, facing the last rays of the setting sun.

"It's getting dark!" Xue Rengui looked at the sun gradually setting in the west, and his heart suddenly sank.

As the last rays of sunlight were blocked, the whole land was plunged into darkness, and the sky was dotted with stars.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, today is the end of the month, and there is no moonlight at all, so I can't hurry at all." Xue Rengui anxiously urged the horse to walk in front of Merton and said.

If it was a full moon, they could still take advantage of the moonlight to hurry, but now their eyes are black, how can they hurry.

"Light the lantern!" Merton gritted his teeth.

Xue Rengui was taken aback and said: "Don't sacrifice wine, this is a full load of gunpowder, if you accidentally go to the water, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

I don't know if it was the power of gunpowder that suppressed the hundred horses, or whether the firearms superintendent's awareness of fire prevention was really good, and now the people in the firearms superintendent actually have a feeling of talking about the discoloration of the fire.

Merton gritted his teeth and said, "First light the lantern of the carriage of this sacrificial wine and open the way ahead." Each carriage is ten paces apart, and in front of each carriage there is a hundred horsemen carrying lanterns to guide the carriage, and every other hour, a group of soldiers take turns to rest in the carriage of the sacrificial wine. ”

Xue Rengui nodded helplessly, and this is the only way to go.

"Whew!"

A lantern was lit, and then the whole convoy formed a long queue of lanterns, and by the faint light of the lanterns, and the new rotation of horses was also accustomed to traveling at night, the firearms supervisor was able to advance again, but the speed was much slower.

There was no word all night, only the sound of cars and horses.

As soon as the sky was bright, the army of the Western Expedition had already begun to bury pots and cook, and Li Jing, with the help of his own soldiers, put on armor and inspected the whole camp.

The heavy rain did not stop the pace of the Western Expeditionary Army, with the convenience of the brick road, the Great Army still maintained a rapid speed of 100 miles a day, according to this speed, at most this evening, the Western Expeditionary Army will be able to reach Lanzhou.

"Where's the firearms warden now?" Li Jing asked.

"General Qiyu, according to last night's Malay report, the firearms supervisor just set off yesterday when the rain stopped." A pro-soldier asked.

"We've just gotten there!" Li Jing's face couldn't help but sink, if Merton really missed the deadline, it would be tricky, the army didn't care about so many reasons, if there was only a deadline and punctuality, there would not be so many excuses.

"General! Do you want to wait for the firearms supervisor! The soldier hesitated and said. When the firearms supervisor was in Xishan Valley before, he sent meat to the right guard, and the soldiers of the right guard had a good impression of the firearms supervisor.

Li Jing shook his head and said: "A military order is a military order, and it can't be delayed for a moment. ”

"Yes!" The soldier replied and immediately turned to give the order.

When the news of the whole army's departure again spread throughout the army, many people with good intentions were in an uproar.

Qin Huaiyu and the three of them glanced at each other, and they were immediately worried, they naturally knew that the heavy rain had just stopped, so it would be difficult for the firearms supervisor to catch up with the army of the Western Expedition.

"Young Master Qin, my young master......" Mo Wu said anxiously to Qin Huaiyu and the others.

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, when did Brother Mo disappoint us, he will definitely arrive on time." ”

"If you don't have a hair on your mouth, you can't do things firmly!" Hou Junji couldn't help sneering when he heard the order for the army to continue to set off, he was not surprised by this order, Li Jing was a general in the army, so he naturally knew how to do it, and how could he delay the entire army's itinerary because of one Mo family.

"Either the firearms supervisor will miss the period, or the firearms supervisor will set off in the rain, and when the gunpowder fails, neither of which you Mo Jiazi will be able to escape." Hou Junji snorted coldly, and at the same time, he secretly remembered the weakness of rain as a gunpowder nemesis in his heart.

The Western Expedition army continued to move forward, and Cheng Yanjin walked to the rear of the left leading guard, and couldn't help but look back frequently along the way, but he still couldn't see the shadow of the firearms supervisor.

"Where is the army?" Cheng Yanjin asked.

The soldiers on the side hurriedly said: "Go back to the general, there are still ten miles to Lanzhou City." ”

"Ten miles!" Cheng Biting Jin's heart sank, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it seems that this kid Merton has only set out for the first time, and he has already been guilty of missing the date, even if he escapes Li Jing's hurdle by luck, his life's career will be ruined.

Cheng Yanjin shook his head, and suddenly swept away, only to see a long queue of carriages on the brick road behind him, and in front of the team, the red armor was unforgettable.

"I caught up!" Cheng Yanjin rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after confirming again, he suddenly shouted: "Hurry, immediately report to the Chinese army, the firearms supervisor has caught up as promised." ”

"Yes!" Cheng Yanjin's personal soldiers immediately galloped away.

After a while, the news of the firearms superintendent catching up spread throughout the entire Western Expeditionary Army, and suddenly there were bursts of cheers from the whole army.

In the firearms prison, Morton rode a horse, and his shadow had already been handed over to the soldiers of Su Dingfang in the rear, and when he saw the team of the Mo family's children in front of him, he was immediately full of spirit, and said proudly: "How could it be done in vain that there were so many arithmetic problems in this sacrificial wine." ”
