Shen Leng returned from Tucheng, this time he didn't dare to go directly outside the camp of the resting people as blatantly as during the day, fortunately, the night in the desert gave too many shadows to the undulating sand dunes, and finally there was a place out of sight, and when he found the more than thirty scouts he brought, it was already the second half of the night, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him return.

"Two teams."

Shen Leng squatted down, didn't explain much, and immediately arranged military affairs.

"One team with me, all the Sabbath people from here to Tucheng have been pulled out, and the other team will go back, let Chen Ran and the team come over immediately, and they must rush to Tucheng before dawn."

After finishing the order, Shen Leng got up, reached out to ask for a pot of water and poured it in, and the burning feeling in his throat became lighter.

"Move!"

"Whew!"

The two teams rushed out one on the left and one on the right.

After more than half an hour, Shen Leng took back the black line knife and looked around, kicked the corpse on the sand dune with one kick, and the scout of the rest man was killed in his sleep, he just couldn't stand it for a while, but he didn't expect that this short moment would give him his life.

It may not take long for a tumbling corpse to be covered in sand, and in this desert climate, the sand is dry and hot after dawn, and the moisture in the dead corpse will be dried in a day, and it will soon become a dry corpse.

Maybe many, many years later, someone will find this body by chance, but it is no longer recognizable, and then they will see the knife marks on the neck of the dried corpse and exclaim, "Look, this is the murdered man!" ”

Shen Leng stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and the scouts under him immediately separated again, exploring and moving forward on both sides, the training received by the scouts was about the same, so Shen Leng could also see where to arrange the dark whistle, for the scouts, especially the dark whistle, the most important thing to choose the position is only two points, the first must be good enough to see and the second must be able to conceal well.

In the desert, the sand dunes are undulating, and it seems that there is no place to hide, especially during the day, the sand is hot, and if you lie on the sand for a long time, you will be looking for death.

Shen Leng took a dozen scouts to pull out all the Sabbath sentry posts in this area, and about half an hour later, Chen Ran also came over with more than 3,000 light horses, the place they passed through was six or seven miles away from the rest camp, and the time left before dawn seemed to be not much, once it was dawn, the figure of the cavalry team would be easily exposed to the enemy's sight.

After not sleeping all night, the team passed through this gap and joined the people of Tucheng and Yao Yuan.

Yao Yuan's soldiers almost didn't sleep all night, Shen Leng's arrival gave them a glimmer of hope, although Shen Leng said that he only brought three thousand light horses, everyone knew that three thousand light horses in this environment had no meaning at all, but under this kind of predicament, he was already very excited to see his own people, and that kind of joy could not be expressed in words.

What's more, it was Shen Leng.

"Give the dry food to the brothers, and eat this meal first."

Shen Leng ordered his subordinates, and then pulled Yao Yuan over: "You tell the brothers, it will be dawn soon, if the enemy's scouts find out after dawn, the horse team will attack immediately, I know that the brothers have not eaten for two days and two nights, and their physical strength is insufficient, but there is no time to delay, I promised to take you out alive, I have to take you out alive, but you must act in strict accordance with my military orders." ”

"Humble duty understands."

Shen Leng got up: "Give them the war horses!" ”

Yao Yuan also shouted: "Eat on horseback!" Everyone, the cavalry who followed the general, remember, Xin Ziwei is still there, and it has not been extinguished, touch the Xin Ziwei emblem embroidered on your body, think about General Mo who fought to save us, the living should be worthy of themselves and worthy of the dead, cheer up and follow the general! ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers of Xin Ziwei each got a war horse, and after getting on the horse, they devoured the hard and hard cakes or steamed buns, but when there was food in the stomach, the whole person became different.

They took advantage of the last trace of darkness before dawn, thousands of Daning soldiers rushed out in the northwest direction under the leadership of Shen Leng, they did not go in the direction of home, but went deeper, before the sun illuminated the world, thousands of people disappeared in the reverse direction surrounded by the enemy.

Two days later.

The Great Camp of the Sabbath.

The Sabbatical General Gersinger received another piece of bad news, which made him furious.

"General."

The scout crawled on the ground and said: "The Houque people sent news that a few days ago, a cavalry of the Ning army, which numbered about a few thousand people, raided one of their granaries, stole a lot of horses and grain, and killed at least three or four thousand Houque troops. ”

"Cavalry of several thousand men."

Gesinger said angrily: "The Houque people can't even beat a few thousand Ning people? There are at least 20,000 Houque troops stationed in the granary area, are they all idiots! ”

"Ning people don't know where they came from."

The scout replied: "The Houque people said that this Ning army light cavalry came out like ghosts, launched a surprise attack on them in the dark night, and rushed directly into the horse farm as if there was an internal response, driving the horses to storm the defense line of the Houque people, from the attack to leaving no more than an hour and a half, and then left. ”

"Mark me the location on the map."

Gesinger commanded.

The marching counselor under his tent immediately went over and marked the location of the attack by the Ning army on the map.

"General, it's here, it's about four hundred miles away from the Houque Royal Court, this should be a lone army."

"More than 1,000 people of the besieged Ning army in Tucheng abandoned the city and fled to the northwest, and it is inferred from the direction that it is very likely to be this Ning army."

"Impossible, they only have more than a thousand people, and they don't have war horses, they haven't eaten for a few days, it's one hundred and eighty miles from Tucheng to the granary, how can a group of hungry people who can't even walk the road, how can they walk one hundred and eighty miles to the granary in two days, and their war horses are given by you?"

"But General, almost all the Ning troops are in our sight, only the remnant enemy in Tucheng did not sit back and wait as we expected, nor did they break through to the east."

"Impossible."

Gesinger commanded loudly: "Mobilize 20,000 cavalry, Gurni Tower, chase after 20,000 cavalry, if it is really the Ning army that escaped from Tucheng, give me 10,000 pieces!" ”

"Yes!"

Gesinger's general, Gnevilta, bowed down, turned and walked out of the tent.

A day later.

When news came again, his subordinates hurriedly ran into the big tent, leaned over and said: "A Ning army cavalry of thousands of people slaughtered into the family pasture of the prime minister of Houque State, killed thousands of people of the Wuerdun tribe of Houque Prime Minister, and stole at least two thousand high-quality war horses. ”

"Map!"

After hearing the news, Gesinger felt that something in his heart exploded directly, but the explosion was so painful, but there was still a breath that could not come out, and this breath seemed to have a second explosion.

"It's about a hundred and fifty miles away from the granary that was attacked last time, don't these Ning people rest or sleep? Can they stand the horses like this? ”

"So they've been grabbing horses."

Ge Singer's brows furrowed: "Tell me, what is the other grassland closest to the pasture of the Prime Minister of Houque Guoda?" ”

"That's it."

The marching counselor pointed on the map: "This is Handa Er City, which is the fief of the prince of Houque State, about one hundred and seventy miles away from the family pasture of the great prime minister Urdun, according to the speed of this Ning cavalry, it can be killed from the family pasture of Urdun to the fief of Nu Qi in one day, Nu Qi is the brother of the former Houque King, he has tens of thousands of private soldiers, and the equipment is not weak." ”

"Give an order to the Gnevil Tower, let him rush to Nu Qi's fiefdom within a day, and send someone to rush over and deliver a letter to Nu Qi without sleep, and ask him to order his army to prepare for war with the Ning people, once the Ning people attack, no matter what the cost is, keep that Ning cavalry for me."

"Yes!"

The marching counselor hurriedly answered and sent someone out to give orders.

After the military order was transmitted, Gesinger did not calm down after all, and personally led 10,000 cavalry to leave the camp of the Sabbatarian and rush towards the fiefdom of Prince Nuqi, it would take at least three days to walk from the camp to that side, hoping that when he arrived, the Ningren light cavalry that disgusted and annoyed him had been wiped out.

He ordered the army to hurry as fast as possible, except for the necessary rest and feeding the horses, and in this way he forced the three-day journey to be completed in two days, but he was anxious to reach the fiefdom of Prince Nu Qi but found that the wind was calm, nothing had happened, Prince Nu Qi's 10,000 troops plus his general Gnevilta's 20,000 cavalry were waiting for them, and their team was assembled for more than a day, and they waited for another day, but they did not even wait for the shadow of the Ning people.

"Am I wrong?"

Gesinger unfolded the map and looked at it carefully, within a radius of three or four hundred miles, the only one with a herd of horses was Nu Qi, the Ning army had already attacked the granary and the family fiefdom of the great prime minister Urdun, where else could he go?

He stood up and paced back and forth, looking at the Gurnievil Tower, "Is there any news along the way?" ”

"Nope."

The Gurnievil Tower was also surprised: "The subordinate came with a team all the way, and there was no news of the Ning army. ”

"Report!"

At this moment, a cavalryman galloped from a distance, jumped off his horse some distance away, and fell to one knee after running a few steps: "General, I just got the military report that a cavalry of thousands of people from the Ning people attacked the granary!" ”

"Granary?!"

Gesinger's face turned a little pale: "Which granary?" ”

"That's it...... It was the granary that the Ning army had just attacked a few days ago, after the Ning army thousands of light horsemen entered the granary, they once again snatched a lot of grain and took away the few remaining war horses, this time they were even more vicious, and burned the granary with a fire. ”

"Granary!"

Gesinger felt that the breath in his heart still exploded, and the explosion hurt his throat for a while, as if a mouthful of blood was about to burst out.

"Twice, Ning Ren actually held down Houque people in the same place and humiliated them twice."

Gesinger took a deep breath, took a big deep breath, and quickly calmed down: "The Ning people just want to mobilize us, after they attacked the granary for the second time, they thought that I would mobilize troops to surround that side, and his next target must be this, within a radius of hundreds of miles, this is their only goal." ”

He sat down: "Wait here!" ”
