Chapter 408

"Mr. Lin, that's what I think. The rain will cover our scent and trace. And I've asked brother Meng and brother Li to spread the grass around the mountain forest. Lu Shuai said that the grass can give off a smell that we can't smell, but the mountain forest beasts with a keen sense of smell will vomit when they smell it, so they can avoid it far away, as long as we are not found by the herd, There will be no danger for the time being. In the future, we will have to wait until the soldiers recover. " Listening to the roar of wild animals coming from Hexing fortress, ye Zhiqiu said with a dignified look.

"You mean we're going to stay here for a while?" Lin Mingxuan looks at Ye Zhiqiu in surprise. Although they were thirty or fifty miles away from the beast tide at this time, and the beast tide could not reach here in a few hours, the target of six thousand cavalry was too big after all. Hiding in this mountain forest was almost the same as hiding under the sight of the beast tide. In Lin's opinion, this is too dangerous.

"There's no way." Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the soldiers who were sitting or lying, or feeding the wild wind beast and the thread wildebeest with bean cake and alfalfa cake. He moved his aching body and said, "from Danshui to hexingyuan, we were all in a hurry, and we didn't stop at all. The physical strength of both the man and the horse had reached the limit. In this case, even if we wanted to keep away from the animal tide, It's also weak. "

"But the good thing is that the animal tide is attracted to Hexing fortress, and it's not easy for us. These mountain forest beasts are also hard. Even if they are eroded by karma and can overdraw their life potential, there is always a limit. They also need to rest and replenish their physical strength." After thinking about it, ye Zhiqiu said, "and after losing our trace, that fierce beast will send several herds to look for it, which will give us plenty of time."

"So it is." When Lin Mingxuan saw Ye Zhiqiu's wisdom, he could not help but put down his heart. But when he saw the soldiers staring at the cold rain sitting in the mud, he was worried and said, "although the South Xinjiang is milder than the north, the weather is wet and cold after all. Now it's drizzling. How can they do if they are so sick all their lives?"

Before Lin Mingxuan regained his title as Lin, he was used to wandering in the river and lake. He once commanded the Red Eagle, second only to Yu Chuxin, the leader of the eight Dark Phoenix divisions. He knew that in such a weather, sitting and lying in the mud, it was easy to get sick. Now, if there was a non combat reduction, it would be a very troublesome thing for the cavalry of more than 6000 people.

"Lin Guogong is right, but don't worry about it." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "at the beginning of the battle of heaven and stars, the two battalions of Fengqi and scouts arrived in southern Xinjiang. They have been used to the water, soil and climate of Southern Xinjiang for more than half a year. What's more important is that among the two battalions, the weakest in cultivation also has the six qualities of blood orifices. Among them, I am the weakest in cultivation. As long as I can survive, they are much better than me, There will be no problem. "

"Six products of all blood orifices?" Lin Mingxuan was stunned when he heard that the six qualities of blood orifices are very humble in the whole martial arts practice, but it's not easy for you to have so many people with such accomplishments to form a well-trained army together. Even the dark Huang, who was originally composed of experts in the Jianghu, can't find so many people with six qualities of blood orifices, let alone they can form an army, It's even more difficult to trust your back to your comrades in arms.

In order to confirm Ye Zhiqiu's words, Lin Mingxuan let out his own spiritual sense, and found that ye Zhiqiu was not only right, but also modest. In his perception, most of these soldiers had seven or eight grades of cultivation of blood orifices, and low-level military officers such as Shi Chang, Bo Chang and Du Wei had about ten grades of cultivation of blood orifices.

And those who are wearing the school captain's armor have reached the edge of the imperial atmosphere. And what they cultivate is military skills. Their blood is concise and powerful, and they can also interact with each other and integrate into military Qi. Such an army, without high-end force, even if all its members were here at that time, could not compete with it.

It's a pity that everyone in this army's life and blood are floating. It's obvious that they spent a lot of money running all the way before. If they don't rest any more, they are likely to have problems. However, if you have such accomplishments, you don't have to be afraid of being invaded by the general wind, cold, damp and heat.

Seeing that Lin Mingxuan stopped talking, ye Zhiqiu took out a map of sheepskin from his arms and watched it carefully. By this time, they had reached the vicinity of hexingyuan, a quarter of the distance from the scheduled Ning'an river. But if you want to lead the 30% beast tide out of xiyuanze to there, the next time is the time to test him and his soldiers.

Just from here, to the original two counties south of Jiangbei, it was almost a flat wasteland, and there was no place for the army to rest. To fight with so many herds on the plain, with his troops at this time, it was tantamount to looking for death. He had to find a way that could not only contain the tide of beasts, but also let them follow behind him without being overtaken by the tide of beasts, There is also room to get rid of the pursuit of animal tide temporarily and let the soldiers rest.

In fact, since Lu que gave him this task, ye Zhiqiu had some abdominal plans in his mind, but he still underestimated the speed of the animal tide. Now he has to overturn all his previous ideas and rethink a set of plans. Otherwise, we'd better follow the previous idea. Let's not say whether the animal tide will catch up with them. Even these two battalions will lose their fighting power before they reach the Danian river.

Just in such a short time, it's not easy to find a practical way. Just as ye Zhiqiu was staring at the map in a daze, Lin Mingxuan next to him stretched out his hand and pointed it four or five hundred miles to the West where they are now on the map.

"What's this?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Lin Mingxuan's finger and saw a hill on the map. He couldn't help looking at Lin Mingxuan.

"This is a lonely mountain. It's called zangfeng mountain. It's named after the wind and the roaring tiger. Its mountain rocks are different from those in other parts of Southern Xinjiang. I passed by there a few years ago and stayed there for a few days. There is a huge labyrinth like cave in the hinterland of this mountain. The exit of the other end of the cave is not far from the northwest valley of Ning'an county. " Lin Mingxuan knew that although Ye Zhiqiu had been in Tianxing for more than half a year, it was difficult to know the details of every place only by map, so he could not help saying what he knew.

"Really?" When ye Zhiqiu heard that Yan's eyes lit up, he quickly asked, "Duke Lin, on the map, this mountain is not very big, and it's still a long way from the mouth of Ning'an valley. Why is the exit at the other end not far from there?"

Lin Mingxuan recalled for a moment and said, "I once walked there. The cave in the mountainside leads directly to the underground and connects with the underground river. Although the road here is rugged and has many forks, it's a natural labyrinth, but the road that can go out can accommodate riding alone. It's the shortest way to Ning'an County, and as long as we leave a smell along the road, I think we'll definitely catch up with the animal tide. "

"From the mountainside to the underground lava caves?" Ye Zhiqiu thought about it carefully and shook his head.

"What? Is there anything wrong with this road? " Lin Mingxuan gave Ye Zhiqiu a strange look. Although he didn't know military affairs, the original Dark Phoenix mainly lived in southern Xinjiang and Shahai countries, and the Red Eagle in the Dark Phoenix was rooted in southern Xinjiang, so he almost traveled to Tianxing and Nanli countries, and was very familiar with the terrain.

As far as he knows, if you want to go to Ning'an county and then turn to Ning'an River, this is the safest way recently. As for the underground cave like a labyrinth, it was not a problem for him at all. Although he had only gone through it once before and took a long time to go out, he kept in mind the specific route. He did not understand why Ye Zhiqiu directly denied this route.

Ye Zhiqiu took another look at the zangfeng mountain mentioned by Lin Mingxuan on the map and explained, "Mr. Lin, since you mentioned this underground karst cave that can lead to Ningan Canyon, you must have been there in person. It's not a problem if you're good at xiaoguwudao, but we have 6000 cavalry. The slippery melting terrain will affect the speed of the beast and the horned horse. And in the underground confined space, once we are overtaken by the herd behind us, we have no way to go, and we can't even fight to death in the end. "

"So it is. It's my negligence." Lin Mingxuan nodded in frustration. He really ignores the difference between the cavalry of the main army and the elite of the rivers and lakes. If you fight in the wilderness, whether it's the Fengqi camp or the scouting camp, you can send out more than 100 light cavalry, and you can destroy the same number of elite of the rivers and lakes. Even if their accomplishments are higher than those of the elite of the light cavalry, the final result will not change. The difference is just how much they pay.

But in the complex terrain, when the wind like Qingqi loses its proud speed, it only needs more than ten Dark Phoenix assassins to kill more than 100 Qingqi without any effort, and the underground cave is just such a terrain. He had been there before, and naturally knew that although the roads there could accommodate single riders, the ground was extremely wet, and the top of the cave was covered with stalagmites. If these 6000 light riders get there, they will be able to March a little faster than walking.

As ye Zhiqiu said, the speed lost Qingqi team will soon be overtaken by the following herds. Such terrain will not have a great impact on these beasts who live in xiyuanze all the year round and run in the slippery and dangerous swamp every day. At that time, in the dark underground space, we are really in a desperate situation called "every day should not" and "the earth does not work".

"But ~" looking at Lin Mingxuan's expression of chagrin, ye Zhiqiu can't help but feel very interesting, because it can at least show that the descendant of the Lin family, who came from the river and lake, is really a magnanimous person. Ye Zhiqiu put out his hand to wipe the rain on his face. After thinking for a while, he said, "although we don't choose to pass there, it doesn't mean we can't use it."

"Oh?" Lin Mingxuan took a look at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Zhiqiu, I know that you and Lu que are the best among the young generation of Da Qian. If you have any ideas, you may as well say them directly. If they are useful to us, we will try our best to cooperate."

Thank you, Mr. Lin Ye Zhiqiu was very happy when he heard that Lin Mingxuan was compared with Lu que, but he shook his head. "But I can't compare with Lu Shuai. Lu Shuai is immortal. His talent is like the bright moon in the night sky, and I'm one of the stars around him at most."

As the saying goes, a person with great talent must be proud of others. Ye Zhiqiu is no exception. If he is a member of the younger generation, even Yan Zheng, Zhuge Yan, Bai Xuguang, and even Gu Qianxue, Yun Xiansi, and Su duo, who are several years older than them, he is more confident than them, and even stronger in some aspects.

But he did not dare to compare Lu que with him. It had nothing to do with his family background. Ye Zhiqiu, who was confident that he could make a world with his talent, did not value these at all. It was Lu Que's layout since the war in southern Xinjiang, which made him marvel and admire at the same time. He had thought for countless times that if he and Lu were apart from each other, could he force Tianxing down with the least cost like Lu did, but every time he came to a conclusion, he was very frustrated.

It is obvious that Lu que has left the level of military stratagem and become a real strategist. Whether compared with the current generals of Daqian or the famous generals in the past, Lu Chun and Lu que can be listed in the same file with those names that have been heard through the ages and that have established the country and the country, and they are admired by the world and later generations.

Moreover, when Daqian was in the most difficult time, Lu que took the post of commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang and controlled the armies of Southern Xinjiang. He almost carried the whole future of Daqian at the age of 17. Maybe in other people's eyes, this is the most powerful position, no matter win or lose, it is a great honor that can shine through history. But in Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, this is not the case. When he personally led 6000 cavalry, he was already trembling for fear that his own mistakes would ruin the lives of these loyal soldiers.

At this time, Lu que was under the pressure of six armies, eleven soldiers and guards, nearly two million soldiers and soldiers, the whole country and hundreds of millions of dawn. If he was in the post of commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang, he would have been swallowed up and collapsed by such pressure. This is what ye Zhiqiu admired most about Lu que. Lack of talent and learning can make great efforts, but the nature of mind is mostly determined by a person's nature, and a small part is determined by his acquired experience. In this regard, he can never compare with the lack of land.
