Chapter 312 Wu Yanshan [Part 2] At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, but the weather had turned cold at this moment, and the scorching sun at this moment did not make people feel much warmth. The cold wind was howling on the ground. Many of Liao Chen's group were from Guangnan West. They couldn't help shrinking up in the cold wind and burying their necks in their collars to keep out the cold. Ahead is a river ditch. Due to the decrease in precipitation in winter, the ditch has become very thin, exposing the muddy river bed. The river bank and the river surface formed a huge slope, and the slopes were covered with reeds. "Let the horse rest for a while before starting again!" Liao Chen looked at the terrain in front of him and reined in the horse. He pulled his collar to block the cold wind that was blowing hard towards his collar, and said hoarsely while trembling a little. "Yes!" The five scouts agreed, but they did not rush down to the ditch. Instead, they separated into two people and went to the nearby area to investigate before entering the ditch. Carnivores like to ambush near water sources, especially in winter, when precipitation decreases and many places where rivers originally existed will cease to flow. Therefore, at this time, herbivores have fewer water sources to choose from, and their chances of success are greater by waiting here. This truth is not only known to carnivorous animals, but also to humans! Therefore, the purpose of the Song Army's reconnaissance was to prevent predators such as wolves and local dogs from lurking, and also to prevent the Xixia Army's iron kites from exploring the horses and ambush them. "Wen Erlang, go cut some hay and come back!" Liao Chen said in blunt Mandarin. Although he is already an officer, Liao Chen, who was born on Guangnan West Road, has very average Mandarin skills. Not just blunt, but limited to ordinary communication. Once the other party speaks too fast, Liao Chen cannot understand him. But no one dared to laugh at him. Because the last scoffer had his right hand broken by Liao Chen with his bare hands on the martial arts field, he had to sleep for three months before he could barely recover. After receiving the order, Wenjiro quickly agreed and went to the reeds by the river to cut grass. It was just past autumn and the reeds were all luxuriant, having dried up with the coming of winter, making it easy to gather hay. Wenjiro took out the short scythe hanging from his waist and quickly cut a large handful back and tied them up with long reed branches. Soon Wenjiro harvested two bales of hay. Holding a bundle in each hand, Wen Erlang walked towards the place where Liao Chen camped. ??Actually, it¡¯s called camping, but it¡¯s not actually camping. I just built a fire pit with branches on top, each branch had more than ten ventilation holes, and put a wet cloth on the branches. This can absorb part of the black smoke, as long as the heat is controlled well. It is difficult to detect cooking smoke. The terrain in Zhenrongjun area is flat and wide, with hills and hills rarely seen. During the Sui Dynasty, Zhenrong Army was an important military garrison in the northwest. By the Tang Dynasty, the household registration number exceeded 10,000 households. It can be seen that Zhenrongjun's land is fertile and its population is prosperous. Only now, because of the repeated small-scale and large-scale invasions of Xixia, the population has become scarce. This makes it even more difficult to reach the territory of Zhenrong Army. Once there is smoke from cooking, it is easy to be identified as an army. Because now except for a dozen military strongholds with considerable defensive capabilities. There are no villages left on the Calabash River plain. Most of the people in the village had already left, and those who had not left were the old, weak, sick and disabled. I saw Liao Chen. Wen Erlang was just about to say hello, but when Liao Chen saw Wen Erlang, he immediately made a silent gesture with a serious look on his face. Wenjiro couldn't help but be startled. If it reaches your throat, swallow it immediately. Liao Chen glanced at Wen Erlang solemnly, and then pointed at the slope. With that said, he climbed up the slope. Wen Erlang was startled and looked in the direction pointed by Liao Chen. I saw two colleagues lying on the slope at the moment, and they kept gesturing to the people below. Wenjiro could see clearly that this set of gestures was designed by the prince. Although it is complicated, it is easy to remember once you get used to it. What the colleagues above meant is that a group of kites is coming, and they are very vigilant. Do you want to catch them alive? Liao Chen did not respond. He probably wanted to go up and take a closer look. Wenjiro didn't care about feeding the horse anymore, he quickly put down the fodder and climbed up the slope quickly. Although the movement was rapid, Bunjiro did not make any sound. Liao Chen glanced at Wen Erlang, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then focused on climbing the slope. Although the war horse was hungry, it did not neigh. Instead, he stood there, not even paying attention to the fodder put down by Wenjiro not far away. War horses are all human beings, and they know what they should do at this moment. This is also the expensive part of war horses. A good war horse is not so easy to get. Zhao Juan spent a lot of money to obtain the war horses that he equipped for the Wei army's cavalry exploration team. Climbing to the top, Wenjiro immediately saw three Xixia Iron Kites moving forward in a Z-shaped pattern, and their speed was not very fast.?, but very rhythmic. Don't look at it unpleasantly, but it can ensure the maximum efficiency of horsepower. At first glance, these iron kites look like experienced equestrian masters. "It would be great if I could have three horses like this!" A colleague licked his dry lips and said in a low voice with shining eyes. Wen Erlang didn¡¯t need to turn around to know that it was Chen Laosan¡¯s voice. This guy was a criminal. It was said that in order to avenge his parents who were bullied to death by a wealthy family, he killed the wealthy family with one knife. The local magistrate wanted him to be loyal and filial, but he was a wealthy family, so he couldn't forgive him, so he compromised and exiled Chen Laosan to serve as a soldier on Guangnan West Road. Because of his bravery in battle, he was appreciated by Zhao Yingwu, so he joined the Beiwei Army. Although he joined the Beiwei Army, he obviously got a lot of hooliganism during his exile. Whenever he saw something good, he couldn't help but be greedy. "Shut up!" Liao Chen shouted in a low voice in blunt Mandarin. Chen Laosan closed his mouth knowingly. Wenjiro actually really wanted to get those Xixia Iron Harrier horses, and he also wanted to get the armor. The Xixia Iron Harriers are very elite. Although they are only a team of three, their equipment is much better than that of the Beiwei Army's cavalry exploration team, which Zhao Juan spent a lot of money to form. Three Xixia iron kites wore party hair accessories, with the middle shaved smoothly and some greasy braids on the sides of their heads. There is a large copper ring hanging on the left and right ears. Some even pierce their ears and wear small copper rings. He wears delicate yet hard cold-wrought iron leaf fish scale armor. Liao Chen and his party, who had learned about the situation of the Xixia Army, also knew that there must be a leather armor behind this strong cold-forged iron leaf fish scale armor, or even chain armor and leather armor. There are three war horses per person, and each one is a first-class war horse in the Song Dynasty. Even the commander of the Forbidden Army may not be able to ride one. All are expensive Hexi horses, also known as Hequ horses. During the reign of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, there were still a small number of people entering the Song Dynasty. When Li Yuanhao came to power, Hexi horses excepted those from previous years. There are no new horses anymore. However, the horses trained by the Northern Song Dynasty were completely unusable, and the war horses purchased from the Liao Kingdom were all short Mongolian horses. Moreover, the Liao people were not stupid either. Not only were the horses traded to the Song Dynasty inferior, many of them were castrated. The war horse Guangnan Horse purchased from Guangnan West Road was certainly good, but firstly, it was a long journey, and secondly, the bureaucracy meant that the war horse did not receive adequate care along the way. Nine out of ten died on the road. ??That is, Zhao Juan specially hired a veterinarian and took good care of him so that Guangnan Ma could still exert his fighting power after arriving in Shaanxi. "Fuck him!" Chen Laosan looked at the three Xixia Iron Kites with hot eyes, a look of salivation that could not be concealed on his face. "Do it!" Liao Chen only hesitated for a moment before making a firm voice. Chen Laosan, Wen Erlang and others immediately had expressions of excitement and salivation that could not be concealed. The soldier did not want a magic weapon that would blow his hair and break his hair, an indestructible armor, and a horse that could travel thousands of miles a day. Of course. Naturally, these cannot be obtained by big-headed soldiers like them, but to put it simply, soldiers all want sharp weapons, strong armor, and high-quality horses. And isn't there solid armor and fine horses in front of us? Not to mention the armor, these nine Hexi horses were placed with the Beiwei army. You can also rank in the top fifty! Some of the three heads can still be ranked in the top twenty! "But we have to find a way! You can't act recklessly!" Liao Chen shrank his body into the slope. Although Xixia Iron Kite cannot be seen, it is absolutely impossible for Xixia Iron Kite to see Liao Chen. Wen Erlang, Chen Laosan and others all nodded in sympathy. Although there are only three people in Xixia Tie Yaozi, there are six people on Liao Chen's side. Although he didn't want to admit it, Liao Chen had to admit that these Xixia Iron Kites would be raped by them when fighting alone. This strength is not only in the equipment, but also in the environment. No matter how awesome or powerful the Beiwei Army is, it is still a newly formed army. Li Yuanhao has been at war with the Song Dynasty for two full years from the time he became emperor to the present. Not counting the many battles he fought with Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xizhou Uighurs, etc. before he became emperor, so he stabilized his rear and flanks so that he could fall out with the Song Dynasty. When the time comes, don¡¯t be attacked from all sides. Therefore, although these Xixia iron kites are enemies, Liao Chen and the others know that each of these iron kites has at least five lives on their hands, and they are very good at riding on horseback. He was really in a face-to-face battle with the Xixia Iron Kite. It was hard to say who would win and who would lose. And they have to catch them all in one fell swoop, otherwise their whereabouts will be exposed. "After all, no matter what Zhao Jun said, he only has 450 cavalry. If they are well concealed, one can be as good as ten. His whereabouts were exposed, let alone one against ten. If Zhao Juan had walked slower, he would have been tricked by the Xixia Army's cavalry. "Take them to the river"??! Chen Laosan said with a proud look on his face. "Looking at their appearance, they have walked a long way, so they must replenish their water supply." Even if people don't drink, horses will drink. Once inside the river, there are slopes on both sides. As long as we block the upper and lower reaches of the river valley, none of these iron kites will be able to leave! ¡± PS: PS: I¡¯m so sorry for not updating for so many days! The reason is that Mumu quit his job and went from Zhuhai to Guangzhou for an interview. Needless to say, the distance is so long. It¡¯s not convenient to carry a desktop computer. You mean a laptop? Mumu is the only one. The author, how can he be rich enough to buy two computers? I waited for a few more days for the interview and worked for a few more days. But I have to tell you another bad news. Mumu is now working on online novels. Editor, I won¡¯t tell you which website it is from. After all, it has been fine for Mumu in Qidian these years, and Mumu doesn¡¯t want to sell ads here. Online editors are not allowed to write novels. I don¡¯t know about other websites, at least. Mumu¡¯s website is like this. Therefore, if nothing happens, this book will be Mumu¡¯s last book. Whether you support it or give up, Mumu will finish it. Thank you for your support!
