Nightfall Chapter 21: Get on horse as a thief (5)
Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 21, Mounted as a Thief (5)
The winter wasteland is blowing wind all the time. The wind may not be very strong, but it plunges into the depth of the cotton coat like a fine comb, combing away the temperature of the human body. Mo Shanshan still wore that thin white dress, and the blue belt around her waist was like a deep lake, which formed a strong contrast with her straight and diffuse eyes.
She slowly raised her eyebrows like ink, and looked at Ning Que and asked, "You killed their general. Don’t you worry that these Yanqi will hate you and won’t be able to do anything in battle, even Surrender directly to the horse thief?"
"The cultivation of trusted officers in the army will inevitably damage the interests of the lower-level soldiers, so the relationship between the dead general and these cavalry will not be very good, especially since they are the Yan State cavalry. I am a Chinese, I know well These."
Ning Que carefully confirmed with his fingers whether the straw ropes connected between the three Piao knife handles are strong, then lowered his head and replied: "I killed the general Yan just now and restrained the officers. Anger, but not grief and anger, which means that they are not sad. This anger comes more from fear and anxiety."
Mo Shanshan looked at the hat that covered most of his face and said, "They are afraid of you... fear will make you want to stay away. Perhaps it is for this reason that they may surrender to the horse thief."
"As a soldier, even if it is a fragile person, it is a very difficult decision to surrender to the horse thief, but any such decision requires thinking, and thinking requires a relaxed psychological environment."
Ning Que raised his head and looked at the horse thief who was still patrolling in the wilderness but had not yet launched an attack, and said: "The situation is too tense now, and arrows may fall on their heads at any time. Those Yan Guo cavalry did not think about it. Time and environment, they are now like a group of wild horses that have lost their heads and bewildered. As long as one horse runs out, they will follow blindly subconsciously, and what I want is their blind obedience."
Mo Shanshan looked at his profile and said, "Have you ever been in the army?"
Ning defect nodded.
Mo Shanshan lightly stroked the hair around his cheeks, and said after a moment of silence: "With you, I can really learn a lot."
Ning Que looked at her and smiled, and said: "You are welcome, and what I can learn from me is actually not a good thing. If possible, I hope I will never have the opportunity to learn this in my life. ."

……
Losing the domineering and superior generals and the officers who only know how to flatter and grab the top ranks of military merit, Erbai Yanqi is really not very sad, but a little angry, and it is precisely because of the loss of these leaders. , Their anger was as expected by Ning Que, and soon became bewildered, and finally it was quiet obedience.
Any army capable of conquering and fighting must have its own unique temperament. It is a pity that the Yan army obviously has no temperament. If you replace it with any Tang army, you will never think that after the general is killed, Will be so obediently obedient to the other's command.
Ning Que was very satisfied with Yan Jun's unique temperament.
He did not appear in front of the scene to personally command, but passed the orders through the carriage where Mo Shanshan was located. Juzhihua and the four Mochiyuan disciples temporarily replaced those Yanjun officers. The position, the order of the camp, the recovery of the sentry, and the strengthening of the defense. All the orders were executed most quickly. Everyone including Yanqi had no complaints, and the order and atmosphere were even better than the previous days.
The food team re-embarked on the northward journey, with more than 600 horse thieves still following. According to the order from the carriage, the speed of the entire food delivery team was precisely controlled within a certain range, and it was constantly changing, from time to time, although it was for Yanqi and the people who drive the food cart. This speed change is undoubtedly a torture, but they persisted after all, and caused more or less trouble to the horse thieves.
The most dangerous twilight hour was spent between the silent forward chase. The grain team dragged into a long dragon and wearily entered a rare low-lying area in the wasteland. At this time, the sky was dark and the light was blurred.
The so-called low-lying area is because the protruding meadows on the left and right sides can't see the end in the dim sight. It is like a mountainous canyon in the south, but the terrain is slightly slower and not so steep.
The dozens of Yanqi who led the way in front were a little surprised when they heard the whistle from behind, because the whistle indicated that the food team decided to camp here.
Anyone with some military knowledge would not choose to camp in such a low place. There are meadows on both sides of the lowland. If hundreds of horse thieves take advantage of the terrain to rush down and be drawn into a long-line food team, the fragile defense will be broken in a very short time, which is very dangerous.
Immediately afterwards, the latest order came from the carriage to gather the grain trucks and fold down the carriage panels to make a big shield, but did not let the civilians dig pits, nor set up slings in the dark areas on both sides. It feels as if the people in the carriage have given up the defense, waiting in vain for the attack of the horse thieves.
The last twilight came from the horizon, reflecting the blood red of the dying struggle, and the low-lying land where the food team was camped was already dim. It was vaguely visible that people hurriedly dismantled the carriage panels, and smoke was rising.
Suddenly, the smoke that had just risen not much high suddenly tightened, as if frozen by the cold air. The busy people looked up to the meadow on the left, their bodies suddenly stiffened and there was silence.
Hundreds of horse thief appeared on the meadow more than a hundred meters away. This is the closest time the horse thief and the food team have come these days. The black horse thief stands indifferently above it, as if it were under the setting sun. A dense mountain forest is burning fiercely, giving people an extremely intense sense of coercion.
Ning Que lifted his hat for a few minutes and frowned slowly as he watched the dense array of horse thieves on the meadow. He noticed that today's horse thieves have become more disciplined and silent, and no horse thieves have provoked and threatened.
He noticed that there were more than ten more riders at the front of the horse thieves.
The reason why there are more than ten riders is because he confirmed that in these days, the more than a dozen horse thieves riding with a face covered have never appeared in his field of vision, which means that these ten horse thieves today Just arrived, and the alarming changes in the horse thieves team are precisely because of the arrival of these horse thieves.
"Even if they are not the representatives of the forces behind them, these more than ten riders should be the ones in charge." Ning Que looked at the horse thieves who were holding their whip and looking at the camp, and looked at the cloth on their faces. , Whispered: "If there is a chance, find a way to get rid of these more than ten rides, maybe you can get through."
Mo Shanshan stood by his shoulder, looked at that place indifferently, and said: "You once said that the target of these horse thieves is not forage, and murderous deterrence can't do anything."
"A horse thief is a horse thief. The horse thief who is raised is still a horse thief. They are more afraid of death than anyone else, and I believe that whether it is the king's court or the king of Yan, if you want to raise so many horse thief in the wasteland, you must raise them separately." /
Ning Que glanced at her and said: "That means these horse thieves are not in the same position as each other. They just listen to the words of the more than ten horse thieves who have just arrived today, and kill these people, and the horse thieves will lose their fighting spirit." /
Immediately afterwards, he looked at her and added seriously: "That said, you are the strongest person in the whole team, so you must not make a move until the last moment, otherwise it is a waste."
Mo Shanshan’s eyes are slightly drooping, his sparse long eyelashes are placed on his fair skin, reflecting the last twilight, very beautiful, his slightly bulging cheeks are very cute, but his silent silence is very impressive. Can't stand it.
Ning Que ignored her, unloaded the heavy package from the back of the big dark horse, stuffed it into the carriage behind him, and said seriously: "The contents of the package are very important to me. Help me keep it safe. ."
Mo Shanshan raised his head, looked at him and said, "Your secret?"
Ning Que said: "Not bad."
"You seem to have a lot of secrets."
"You also have a lot." Ning Que said.
Mo Shanshan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why don't you worry about horse thief attacking at night?"
Ning Que looked at her slightly squinted eyes, looked at the nice little wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help thinking of the leaves of a certain plant, like a willow tree?
"The reason is very simple, because it is difficult to find the belongings hidden by the caravan at night, and wait until the day to search for them, and I am afraid that the frontiers will see the warning and search. And night attacks will compromise their riding and shooting skills, the most sharp It is unbearable for horse thieves to discount the means. It is also rare to follow them for so many days."
Mo Shanshan raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Since it is rare, why can't they launch a night attack on a rare occasion?"
Ning Que realized that he was indeed easily defeated by the white-clothed girl. After a moment of silence, Ning Que said: "These are the truths summed up by the ancestors of horse thieves with blood and death. They will not deviate."
"Perhaps they did not expect to deviate, because this is already an instinctive consciousness that has penetrated their bones." Ning Que looked at her and said, "Just like you write a talisman, you don't need to think about how to write that talisman. The ink pen in your hand will make a choice before your thinking and walk around on its own."
Mo Shanshan looked at him quietly and asked: "Do you know symbols too?"
Ning Que smiled gently and replied: "Understand a little."
Perhaps because the war is coming, maybe because the twilight is too beautiful and the night is too close. At this time, in his eyes, Mo Shanshan will become a lot more pleasing to the eye. Although her eyes are still proud and indifferent, he thought to himself , With her reputation and status in the world, it should be so.
Similarly, Mo Shanshan felt that this young Tang person had become a lot more pleasing to the eye.
……
……
This night, Ning Que spent the night with the Yanjun cavalry behind the team. He ordered the Yan Qi to sleep with his mount, and was not allowed to remove the armor. He also put on a light armor of the Yan army.
"Reinforcements are already on the way. As long as we reach Zhongtian, we will win."
Beside the fire, he looked at the Yan Guo cavalry with a distressed and even numb expression and said seriously.
The expressions of the Yanqis finally changed, and something called hope began to appear in their eyes.
Ning Que doesn't know if there will be reinforcements. He only knows that the horse thieves will definitely launch an offensive early tomorrow morning. If the situation is not right, he will flee without hesitation on the **** horse.
Just don’t forget to bring the package, um, you should also bring Tmall, and Zhuzhihua...Mo Shanshan should also bring... It seems that there are too many things and people to bring.
