Chapter 19: Enemy Attack

It was another difficult night.

Yesterday's day's march made Zhang Xuan's thighs all rub out blood. After Zhang Xuan got up today, the muscles in his legs were extremely painful, and last night, another wounded person died, and the next morning, when Zhang Xuan went to see it, the corpse was already stiff, and it was obvious that it was the first half of the night, and the person was already gone.

There was also a trace of numbness in Zhang Xuan's eyes.

Had to be numb and didn't pay attention before. When marching today, Zhang Xuan found that there were many traces on the side of the road, either anything else, or new graves. Those who have the strength can also bury a grave, and many of them are pressed down with a few stones.

There are also some unburied corpses, these are all local villagers, after being killed by the horse team, the corpses have not been restricted, I think it is the brigade of people and horses, I heard that they dare not come out to converge, and after the brigade of people and horses passed, someone came to converge. Occasionally, one or two villages are deserted, and many houses have collapsed, although they are in the mountains, but this depression is still frightening.

At about ten o'clock, Zhang Xuan suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him.

Cao Zongyu suddenly became vigilant and said, "The voice is wrong? ”

Zhang Xuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cao Zongyu said: "In fact, the army can't go very fast, usually walking seventy or eighty miles a day, that is, when running, give up all the baggage, in order to run three hundred miles a day, and no one will be so horseback on weekdays." ”

Zhang Xuan was taken aback and said, "Could it be that there is an enemy?" ”

Cao Zongyu said: "The sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and it should not be the enemy, but who dares to use horsepower indiscriminately when marching?" ”

Horses are the most important asset of the rebels, they are simply the eyes of everyone, and few people are so sparing.

"Huh," the group stopped in front of them, and Luo Yujiao said, "Don't you eat dry food when the time comes?" ”

In the army, only Luo Yujiao is the freest. Not to mention that Luo Yulong was injured, even if he was not injured, Luo Rucai also pinned a lot of hope on Luo Yulong, so Luo Yulong needed to lead the troops, but Luo Yujiao was a woman, even if Luo Rucai liked this daughter again, he didn't put any burden on her. Moreover, Luo Yujiao is also Luo Rucai's daughter, what she says is easy to use in many places, and Luo Rucai does not restrain her, she naturally does whatever she wants.

Zhang Xuan looked up at the sun and said, "It's not noon yet, why do you want to eat?" ”

Luo Yujiao said: "There has never been lunch in the army? Only before the war there were extra meals, are you mistaken? ”

Only then did Zhang Xuan know that there was always only breakfast and dinner in the army, not three meals as he thought. Before setting off every day, Rodain would distribute two meals of dry food, and the march would never stop for a day, arranging their own meal times. Zhang Xuan naturally thought that the army did not eat breakfast, only lunch and dinner.

"Why didn't Brother Cao tell me?" Zhang Xuan was a little embarrassed.

"Three to four, and four to twilight, what's the difference with four to three." Cao Zongyu said. I don't know if it's the reason why Jin doesn't change, Cao Zongyu's body is very fast, and he can already walk around with the help of people, but he still can't ride a horse.

Luo Yujiao smiled lightly and said, "It just so happens that I hit some rabbits, let's eat them together." ”

Luo Yujiao turned over and dismounted, and immediately assigned someone to put down an iron pot from the horses behind. Aunt Tian dug a stove, and then someone brought over firewood. For a while, the fire was burning, the water was fetching, and the rabbit was skinned, and it was busy for a while.

Cao Zongyu looked at Zhang Xuan with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes and said, "We are blessed, the rabbits in this place are not easy to fight." ”

There are more mountains in this area than flat land, and the rabbit is very clever, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will run from this ravine to another ravine, don't look at just three or four rabbits, how much energy did it take Luo Yujiao to say no.

Zhang Xuan didn't know what to do for a while.

When the water is boiled, chop two or three hares, pour them into hot water, and then chop the mixed dough cake and throw it in, and when the boiling water boils, the mixed dough cake will bubble up. However, everyone used the bamboo tube for drinking water to take the rabbit broth one by one and drank it.

Although the rabbit meat was very fishy, it was not processed at all, and even the salt was not put in. But Zhang Xuan ate it very happily, and it was the first delicious in his life.

Zhang Xuan is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and said, "Thank you Miss Luo for your --- rabbit." ”

Luo Yujiao said: "No thanks, they are all my father's subordinates, and I should take more care of them." ”

"Da Da," a sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and Cao Zongyu suddenly said: "It's the night of the official army." ”

Cao Zongyu forced himself to get on the horse, and several wounded people also drew knives in their hands.

Zhang Xuan touched up and down, trying to find a weapon, but touched two ingots of silver, at this moment he knew that silver was the most useless thing in the army, and said secretly: "If you pass this hurdle." I'm going to spend it quickly. ”

"Ahh Screams were heard.

This time, Zhang Xuan's medical camp did not go to the end, and acted in the old camp.

Liukou does not have the troops behind the palace, or rather, the old battalion is the army behind the palace, this is a cruel wisdom, the most important thing is the horse team, as long as the horse team is there, no matter how much the old battalion loses, it will be replenished when it is a county town.

But if the horse team suffers losses, it will be irretrievable.

Therefore, they tacitly agreed not to set up a rear team, and of course there was no rear team, which did not mean that the old battalion did not have the slightest defensive capability.

Zhang Xuan climbed on a big rock and looked west, only to see about four or five knights rushing over. "This night doesn't bother to be bold."

Zhang Xuan took a look, but found that the person who spoke was Luo Yujiao, and she also got on the big stone and stood side by side with Zhang Xuan. At this moment, he opened his bow and arrows, and the arrows shot four or five arrows in one go.

"Dangdangdang." Luo Yujiao's archery skills were good, but they were all blocked with a long knife by the opposite night Buhui.

"Collapse." With a sound, the bowstring rang in Zhang Xuan's ears, Zhang Xuan looked at it, but Cao Zongyu didn't know when, he bent his bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow hit, shooting a person off the horse.

These people immediately dismounted, cut off four or five heads, hung them on their horses, turned their heads and left, and when the leader saw Zhang Xuan, he immediately bent his bow and shot two arrows. Zhang Xuan was taken aback, grabbed Luo Yujiao, and fell off the stone. The two rolled on the ground, breathing audibly between each other. As if frightened, the two immediately separated.

Such a short surprise attack, from the time Cao Zongyu found out to the time they retreated, it was only a few breaths. Luo Yujiao walked over with a few healthy women, all of whom were like Aunt Tian with big shoulders and round waists, and they had also killed people and seen blood, which Luo Rucai specially selected to protect Luo Yujiao.

Cao Zongyu and Zhang Xuan fell behind them, and they found four or five headless corpses on the ground, as well as a cart of grain and grass. The most important thing is that the corpse that is not collected at night, Luo Yujiao has already stepped forward to check, Cao Zongyu's archery skills are very high, and an arrow hits the throat.

Luo Yujiao touched this person, tore off a money bag, fell to the ground, and found that in addition to some scattered silver, it was a wooden token with the word "Yun" on it. Luo Yujiao said: "It's Yuan Jixian's people, I have to tell my father quickly." ”

Luo Yujiao didn't say much, turned over on the horse, and said to Zhang Xuan: "You hurry up, don't clean up here, hurry up and join the team." Remember, be quick. Frame. As soon as the words fell, Luo Yujiao's horse ran out, but in a moment, it disappeared without a trace. The healthy women under Luo Yufeng's command also got on their horses and left.

Zhang Xuan asked Cao Zongyu and said, "Brother Cao, here?" ”

Cao Zongyu pointed to the corpse that did not collect at night and said, "I see that you don't even have a blade, bring his blade with you." Come on. "There seems to be a great danger ahead.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan immediately took away the saber that had not been collected at night along with the bow and arrows, and immediately summoned everyone to leave immediately.

Zhang Xuan didn't know that what Cao Zongyu was worried about was not only the danger of the attack of the officers and troops behind, but also the danger of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's team suddenly speeding up and throwing off the old battalion.
