Chapter 63: Chasing the General at Night (II)
At this time, fifty cavalry also galloped out from Wenyang Mansion.
Before leaving, Wang Hongyi suddenly ordered that fifty horsemen put on paper armor.
Paper armor is made of paper and cloth as materials, processing hammer soft, stacked three inches thick, square inch four nails, divided into upper and lower armor, upper body and lower body (over the knee) as the main protective parts, the appearance is difficult to distinguish from ordinary armor, especially painted with gold paint and various patterns, dazzling.
At this time, fifty people put it on, and suddenly the lineup was strict and majestic.
Even the veterans of the Black Guard feel that wearing paper armor makes people feel safe, and according to experiments, paper armor is very effective in defending against bows and arrows, although in close combat, it cannot resist the slashing of cold weapons such as knives and guns, but it can also greatly reduce damage.
At this time, at a glance, under the sun, these fifty people were simply full of majesty and murderous aura, which made Wang Hongyi praise in his heart, if there were tens of thousands of armor-piercing soldiers, he was afraid that the enemy army of the same size would immediately lose his fighting spirit at a glance.
However, when he got on the horse, Wang Hongyi still muttered in disbelief: "Fan Liuhai actually lost his office?"
Fan Liuhai, too impressive, in the previous life, Fan Liuhai was only a camp at the beginning, but with the later battles and battles, Fan Liuhai continued to show the charm and ability of an extraordinary commander, this person dominates the world, invincible in several battles, brave and strategic, not pedantic, and even a little sleek, but not annihilated.
Such a general who gave Li Chengye great help in his previous life, and can even be called a first-class general in Shu and the world, actually left Taisu County and left the Li family?
This is a slightly weakened version of Han Shin, and if it is political, it may even win!
Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi couldn't hide a smile on his face.
It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and the thirteen divisions placed in Taisu County gave him a nice surprise at this time!
"Come out of the house with me!"
"No. ”
In a moment, Wang Hongyi rushed out of the Jiedu Embassy, and the fifty horsemen in majestic armor followed closely, chasing in the direction and path proposed by the intelligence.
At this time, it was noon, Fan Liuhai and his party had already traveled for half a day, and Wang Hongyi, who got the news, didn't even have time to eat, and wanted to take this general under his hands.
Fifty horsemen galloped across the road, bringing up countless dust, and frightened passers-by fled one after another.
This run, that is, in the middle of the day, it was dark, if it weren't for the fact that there were people from the thirteenth division at the intersection from time to time to guide the path, Wang Hongyi might not be able to catch up.
Gradually, the sky was getting darker, the twilight was thick all around, and the horses were gasping.
The speed of progress gradually slowed down, Wang Hongyi was anxious, this place was already close to the border, and it would be dangerous to rush over again.
At this time, not far away, on a small road, it was already dark all around, and a group was hurrying to the road.
"Big brother, find a place to rest for a while, after a day of walking, everyone is tired. Knowing that everyone was already exhausted, someone in the team proposed.
Fan Liuhai's voice sounded, and he was also a little tired: "Well, after walking for dozens of miles, you will be out of the range of this Wang Town, since everyone is tired, let's find a place to rest." ”
"Big brother, there seems to be a temple ahead!" walked for a while, and one of the sharp-eyed people in the team suddenly said.
At this time, the moon came out of the dark clouds, and released a faint moonlight against the whole earth, which made people suddenly brighten, and saw a temple standing a few hundred meters in front of them.
"Temple?" Fan Liuhai saw it, but he was a little interested: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”
Seeing this, the people followed him and walked towards the temple.
This is a deserted temple, walk to the temple door and push it open, there is no half of the figure inside, the temple is not large, exuding a choking smell.
"Big brother, it's an abandoned temple, and there is no incense for a long time!" someone carefully patrolled up and down for a long time, walked back to Fan Liuhai's side, and said, even if he left, he would take the style of the army.
Fan Liuhai took a breath and commanded: "Clean up, we will rest here tonight." ”
"No. Hearing Fan Liuhai's order, everyone immediately took action, cleaning and cleaning, ventilation and ventilation, and in just a moment, the temple could barely accommodate people.
"Alright, rest. Seeing this, Fan Liuhai patted the dust on his hands. "That's it!"
The group finally collapsed to the ground and rested on the spot.
In a hurry, everyone bought some food along the way, all of which were bread, sauce and meat, and so on, and when a fire was lit, they roasted it hot, ate it in a big gulp, and leaned on the fire, and everyone fell asleep.
Fan Liuhai leaned against the wall, listened to the sound of deep breathing left and right, and sighed secretly.
Even though this body is already exhausted, the drowsiness still does not come up.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Fan Liuhai recalled all kinds of past events in the Li family, and seemed to be a little melancholy and reluctant, but after a while, Zhou Zhu's bloody headless corpse made him feel a chill.
"The matter has come to this, I have to leave Wang Zhen as soon as possible, the Li family can't go back, and there is no need to get involved in this whirlpool. Fan Liuhai said this to himself, he had made up his mind in his heart, after leaving this place, he took his brother to find a new master in Shu, of course, if he had to leave, there was nothing to do without leaving Shu.
Thinking about it, his vision blurred, he sighed and closed his eyes.
At this time, Wang Hongyi, who had been secretly pondered by Fan Liuhai, was standing on the side of the road, just straightening up, with a smile on his face.
"The trail is very fresh, they followed this road, and the past time is very short!" Wang Hongyi said with certainty, pointing to a narrow road.
"Lord, a team of cavalry has rushed over, listen to the sound, there are about twenty horsemen, what should we do?" There was a seasoned black-clothed guard, at this moment, suddenly his ears moved, and after listening to it, he noticed the enemy situation, and reported to Wang Hongyi.
Wang Hongyi heard the sound of horses' hooves, and listening to the sound from far and near, he frowned: "You hurry up with me and go to the side of the forest to hide!"
At this time, Wang Hongyi didn't want to clash head-on with this group of people, and ordered the people on the left and right to wait for a while to take shelter in the small forest next to him.
The group entered the nearby woods, and after a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the avenue, and then they galloped past, but did not stop in this area, but went directly to the border.
"This group of people, it should be the Li family's chasing soldiers, right?" Stepping out of the forest, looking at this group of people galloping past on horseback, Wang Hongyi touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
Because of the wrong tracking route, this group of people is afraid that it will be difficult to gain anything.
When the cavalry walked away, Wang Hongyi said to the left and right: "Let's go down the small road, I have a hunch that Fan Liuhai and his party should be over there, and they haven't gone far." ”
With the people, they went into the path and walked towards the place where Fan Liuhai and them lived.
In the temple, Fan Liuhai's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After a while, still unable to sleep, Fan Liuhaisuo stood up and walked outside.
Everyone was sleeping soundly, and only a few people woke up immediately and looked at him in confusion, and one of them asked, "Big brother, where are you going?"
"I can't sleep, go out and blow the wind, and I'll be back in a while. Fan Liuhai said.
"Well, big brother, be more careful, it's cold outside, so come back early to rest!" the man said.
Fan Liuhai nodded, pushed open the temple door, and stepped out.
The moonlight was bright, and it was no longer the chaos of the first half of the night, Fan Liuhai walked in the moonlight, walked two or three hundred meters, and then walked to a stone, sat down on the stone, and the breeze blew on his face, making his body relax.
Before he could completely relax, the sound of footsteps made him vigilant, and he didn't want to think about it, and his body reacted quickly, quickly turning behind the boulder.
After a while, I saw a group of people, each leading their horses, and walking towards this place from the path.
When Fan Liuhai saw it, he was taken aback, holding the hilt of the knife, it was not a chasing soldier.
At this time, I only heard someone in the team say, "Lord, there is a temple in front of you." ”
"Temple?" A voice that made Fan Liuhai a little familiar immediately sounded: "It seems that they are resting here." ”
They?
Who, these people themselves?
Fan Liuhai poked out half of his face and looked at this group of people, under the moonlight, he saw that there were about fifty people on the other side, all of them wearing armor, and even reflected a faint light in the moonlight, showing a majestic killing.
The middle one was a young man, dressed in civilian clothes at this time, but this glance still made Fan Liuhai gasp.
"Is it, Wang Hongyi, the general of Dingyuan in Wenyang Mansion, why did he appear here?" he Fan Liuhai suddenly became confused.
With this small action, there were naturally capable people among the black-clothed guards, and someone in the team suddenly became alert, and shouted towards Fan Liuhai's hiding place: "Who is hiding over there?"
The team suddenly stopped, looked at the boulder, and seeing this, knowing that it couldn't be hidden, Fan Liuhai slightly straightened up his outfit and walked out from behind the boulder: "Fan Liuhai has seen General Dingyuan." ”
Wang Hongyi didn't expect that the person he was chasing would meet in this way, and he was slightly stunned, so he laughed and said, "Mr. Fan, you have made this town look so hard." ”
"Huh?" Even Fan Liuhai was already prepared in his heart, but he was shocked by Wang Hongyi's words: "General Dingyuan, what do you mean by this?"
"My lord has been chasing me since noon, as soon as he learned that you had resigned and left, he took me and others to chase after him, galloping for hundreds of miles, without any rest along the way, and even lunch and dinner were useless, so I wanted to invite you back. At this time, one of the people in the team interjected.
"Gallop for a hundred miles, forget to sleep and eat!" Fan Liuhai was shocked in his heart at this time, and suddenly, he remembered the poem this person once wrote: "The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep." Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. ”
At this time, I looked up, and after careful discernment, I saw that although the armor was bright, all of them were tired, and the horses behind them were even foaming at the mouth and panting, which was obviously true.
Fan Liuhai had no reason, so his heart was hot, he looked at Wang Hongyi, and said with a little hesitation: "Could it be that the general is here to arrest Fan Mou?"
"It's not to catch, it's to please!" Wang Hongyi put down the horse in his hand at this time, and came over with a smile: "I have been paying attention to Mr. Fan for a long time, but I can't invite him because of my reputation, and now you are no longer the camp of Taisu County, but there is no such obstacle." ”
"Mr. Fan's ability, leaving Wenyang Mansion is a big loss for our town, so this town chased after me overnight, and wanted to ask Mr. Fan to return to Wenyang Mansion with me, and entrust me with great things, and I hope that Mr. Fan agrees!"
