Enemy Sight (Part I)
In January of the 40th year of the empire, the Red Turban Army divided 200,000 troops and went south with all its might, and the front of the army was directed at the imperial capital. .
In March, the Red Army entered Mengju, and half of the local garrison of Mengzhou fled. Qidong Zhenshou Xi Yicheng committed suicide and died. In April, the Red Turban Army had opened the passage between Yanmeng and Yanmeng, and the soldiers pointed to Zhongzhou, the heart of the Mandala Empire.
"Lord Hu Wei, the water has been put away. Jebe whispered behind Hu Wei, after the archery competition, she became Hu Wei's personal guard.
"Hmm!" Hu Wei put down the battle report in his hand and put his hands on his forehead.
Zhebei stretched out his slender jade fingers, helped Hu Wei lightly press the sun**, and asked tentatively: "What did the battle report say, I see that the captain seems to be very upset." ”
Hu Wei said: "The Red Turban Army has already reached Zhongzhou, and our peaceful days are numbered." ”
"Zhongzhou is so far away from us, what does it have to do with us? Could it be that our column will be transferred to quell the chaos?" asked Jebel puzzled. Hu Wei sometimes taught her some military knowledge, and she knew a little bit about it, but it was not comprehensive.
"No, I'm not referring to Zhongzhou. Don't take a shower yet, you go out with you. I always felt like something was going to happen tonight. ”
"Yes!" Jebel was instructed to get ready at once.
"Captain. Vera, the leader of the ninth squad, saluted Hu Wei. The Ninth Squad is on the night shift tonight, and it was only after dark that they were on duty, and they are still in good spirits.
Hu Wei asked, "Is there any situation?"
Vera replied, "No, it's normal, it's quiet over there, even quieter than ever. ”
Hu Wei said: "That's good, it's quite cold on duty at night, you have to pay more attention to your body, don't catch a cold." ”
Vera smiled, "Don't worry, Captain. There are skins you sent, and everyone is very gentle. Besides, now that I have eaten and slept well, and I have been practicing for so long, who is not strong and solid, and who dares to get sick after a few blows, I will smoke him. ”
"You're ruthless as a captain. Hahaha. ”
"Alright. I'll take a look at it, and you don't have to pay attention to me. ”
"Captain, walk slowly. "Vera gave Hu Wei a gift.
"Phew, this hellish place, it's April, and it's still so cold. Jebel, let's go over there. ”
"Lord Captain, are you worried that An Rongren will move?" asked Jebel as he followed Hu Wei's side.
"Well, you just have to think about it. What is the best time to attack others, that is, when others are weak. You say, which one is easier for you to win by beating a sick person or a strong person?"
Jebel replied, "Of course it's a patient. ”
Hu Wei nodded and said, "Not bad." The peace and chaos in our country is not good, and now the Red Turban Army has forced into the imperial capital, and the empire is already sick. If Anrong people really have the heart to attack, now is the best time. ”
"I don't think the Anrong people dare to come and invade us. We are the most powerful army in the Celestial Wind Continent. ”
"The mightiest army, huh! That's just a beautiful lie. If the Empire's army was really strong, the rebellion of the Red Turban Army would not have lasted so long.
Alas, maybe I'm thinking too much, let's go, come back and take a shower. ”
"Okay, I'll wipe your back today. Jebel took the opportunity to say.
"No, I don't. ”
"Why, you said that you would help you wipe your back as a personal guard, but you didn't let me help you wipe your back. "Jebel has always been obsessed with this.
Hu Wei smiled: "You are still young. ”
Jebel was dissatisfied: "Whoever is young, I am already eighteen years old. ”
"I'm not used to men wiping my back. ”
"I'm a girl. ”
"But your name is like a man. Regarding the question of this name, Hu Wei screamed really awkwardly. He wanted to help Jebel change the name of a girl, but Jebel refused. Hu Wei can't help it.
Jebel said angrily: "This is also a reason?"
"That day I asked you why you didn't enter the women's barracks and entered the men's barracks, didn't you just use this reason, I'm just not right!" Hu Youzheng said and laughed, and suddenly stood still.
Jebel hurriedly said: "What's wrong, what's wrong." ”
Hu Wei recalled carefully and said, "Do you remember, when I asked Vera what the situation was just now, how did he answer?"
"It's normal for him to say a qiē. ”
"No, he said, 'It's quiet over there, even quieter than ever'!"
"What's wrong with that, the valley is quiet. Jebel still didn't understand what Hu Wei meant.
Hu Wei shook his head and said:
"No, that's the problem. The valley was quiet, but tonight it was so quiet that there wasn't even a hint of insects. ”
Jebe recalled: "Hearing you say that, I think so, too. I remember the last time I came, there was the sound of insects. ”
"Animals are very sensitive, they can often have a premonition of danger, and bugs are no exception. If the insects do not bark, it means that they have a premonition of danger.
No, this has to be investigated. ”
"Bugs are dangerous, does it have anything to do with us?" Jebel didn't have such knowledge of living things.
The sweat on Hu You's face fell, and he took out an arrow that Lu You hit, and said to Zhebei: "Now I don't have time to explain to you." Take my arrows and go to Riquelme at once. Let them immediately and urgently gather all the troops. Sue them, this is not a drill, all weapons and equipment are brought, who dares to disrespect the order, make a noise to shock the enemy, and there is no mercy!"
"Yes. Jebel Yan took the order and left. Although Hu Wei had also done night enemy raid drills before, this time Hu Wei said 'there is no mercy for killing', which proves that something must have happened.
"Wait three, come here. After Jebel left, Hu Wei gestured behind him. Every time Hu Wei patrolled at night, Hou San would take someone to follow him a hundred steps away.
"Captain. Hou San ran briskly.
Hu Wei asked, "When was the last time you went to the valley to hunt wild animals?" ”
Hou San replied, "It was four days ago, according to your orders, we only passed once in five days. ”
The meat used as a prize for the competition in Hu Wei's army was the prey that Hou San secretly brought back from the valley. Because that side no longer belongs to the Mandala Empire, Hu Wei didn't let Hou San go too often, and only passed once in five days.
Hu Wei asked, "The last time you went, did you find anything special, or something different from usual?"
Hou San thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, it's the same as usual, there's no difference." Captain, is something happening in the valley?"
Hu Wei ordered: "I don't know yet, I suspect that the army of the Anrong people is hiding inside." You go over right away and get me the matter straight. ”
Hou San hesitated: "But now it's not our brother standing guard. ”
In the past, when he went to poach in the valley, Hu Wei arranged for some people who already knew the inside story to respond.
Hu Wei immediately decided: "The situation is urgent, and now I can't care so much." If you take my arrows, you will say that they are my commandments. Go and go back. ”
Hou San commanded: "Obey." ”
"Be careful. ”.
