In the army, scouts are the most dangerous arms, whether it is the Central Plains Army or the border guards. As the eyes of the army, many times they need to penetrate the enemy's territory. Without protection, they basically use their lives to find out the enemy's movements for the army.
They have nothing to rely on to keep their lives, alert, fast horses, and often less than luck.
Most of the time, scouts die silently, and even if they find out where the enemy is, they will not be able to return information in a timely manner. Only a scout with good luck and good strength can be fortunate enough to return to the camp with the military.
Such scouts are undoubtedly heroes in the army.
Therefore, even if the army leader will meet them, he will show more concern and trust.
The first to discover Khitan's ride was the two dogs who acted as lookout posts on the low slope. When his shocked shout reached the bull's ear, the first reaction was not fear, but ecstasy.
The ecstatic ox egg gave up the grass in front of him, got up and ran to the grass slope, and looked in the direction indicated by the two dogs. Not far to the east, a cavalry with four or five hundred men was bypassing a gentle **** and rushing towards them.
"All heads, we only have a hundred-man team, they have four or five hundred people, what do we ...?" Ergou asked eagerly. He wanted to say whether we should run, but felt that this was too timid, so he changed the word temporarily.
The ox egg ignored the two dogs, took a forehead and looked carefully, and carefully identified the opponent's armor blade, even the tall and short breed of the warhorse. Because the distance was a little farther, the bull's egg looked quite hard.
The second dog did not know what the bull's egg was looking at, and wanted to ask, but was inconvenient to rush, like an ant on a hot pot. Although they are new recruits, the two dogs also know that once their side does not get out in time and is bitten by the other side, their hundred-man team will be more fierce.
The other riders have already been applauded by the old soldiers, and have given up to continue to observe the traces on the grass. They have quickly started the horses and adjusted their formations. They are ready to meet and retreat.
Compared to these military pawns, Zhang Zai, Liu Dahe, and other three Confucian scholars were somewhat weaker in restraint. The first time they followed the cattle and eggs on the grass slope, and they attacked Khitan like him. Looking in the direction.
However, as far as their understanding of the military affairs is concerned, they are not even as good as the second recruit who has finished training, and naturally they can't see anything.
"All heads, what are you looking at? Barbarians are almost coming!" Zhang Zai couldn't help asking.
Five hundred cavalry rushed on the prairie, and the power must not be underestimated. Although there was no scene of shaking the mountain, the rumbling horseshoe sound was still like a thunderous thunder, and it kept banging in my heart. .
The key is that you have few people and no chance of winning. This is the most deadly.
When Zhang Zai was in Huainan, he looked down on the killing Han, and even looked down on the war. He always thought that it was just a brutal collision of a group of rude people. The Confucian students who mobilized the hearts of the army and the people before the war, the heavy allocation of food during the war, and the management of the local area after the war were really important events.
Therefore, he is a complete recruit on the battlefield.
"Every head! They rushed over a safe distance!" At this moment, Ergouzi couldn't help but yelled.
"These barbarians are dressed in leather, dangling from the waist, carrying long bows, and the war horses are neither scouts or horses of the usual cavalry known for their endurance ... this is not a scout that is far away, it is an army Rare fine ride! "
When the cow egg regained its sight, the ecstasy in his eyes became stronger. "This only shows one problem: the Khitan army is nearby!"
Le turned the horse's reins, and in the eyes of the two dogs admiring Zhang Zhang's blank eyes, the cow egg ran down the grass **** first and shouted, "Hurry up!"
Now that the position of the Khitan Army has been ascertained, and the core military situation that has come out to be discovered on its own has been obtained, there is no longer any reason for the cattle to delay.
But now, the situation is very dangerous. Although the Khitan Ranger is still a distance away, the distance between the two sides will be very close when the speed of their riding team is raised.
However, since the ox eggs dare to leave now, it will not be a self-death, scouting horses quickly, this is beyond doubt.
In fact, as Niu predicted, their speed was raised before Khitan Jingqi caught up. Although on the vast grassland, five hundred fine horses chased hundreds of riders, there was no need to worry too much about the formation, and the speed would be very fast, but there were always hundreds of steps between the two sides.
Zhang Zai turned back several times. After finally confirming that Qidan Jingqi was unable to catch up with himself, he was relieved. Zhang Zai was very lucky not to face death threats and never know what death fear was.
At this time, Zhang Zai was already very impressed by the calm military order, bold move, and meticulous response. They have found out the approximate number and orientation of the Khitan Army and made extraordinary contributions to the frontier. In this situation, Zhang Zai felt that his image was a little taller.
Even if he didn't do anything along the way, but after participating in this operation, he also took risks, and there were many days of hard work, which no one can kill. After this, Zhang Zai felt that he had made a lot of progress in the army.
However, Zhang Zai's gratefulness did not last long.
After they turned a blister, they found that there was another Khitan rider head-on!
Obviously, Khitan Jingqi will chase him, and when he knows that he cannot catch up, he still bites them, not without relying on them.
Khitan discovered his scout team and sent someone to notify the nearby riders in advance to cooperate with the team's elite riders to intercept in front!
"Dutou, there is a Khitan barbarian in front!" Zhang Zaigang's heart dropped immediately to his throat.
The cow egg looked back at him coldly, yelling at him
Very dissatisfied, "But more than twenty scouts, what are you scared of?"
Scouts are different from fine riders. In order to reduce the burden of fast horses and pursue extreme speeds, it is convenient to escape from danger and bring back the military situation. They are simple and generally not armored. Such opponents are not difficult to deal with.
Cow eggs and others, just wearing the lightest leather armor, can guard against arrows in the distance. When the two horses ran against each other, the blades of the swords and guns stabbed at extremely high speeds were not much different from a layer of paper.
Scouts weren't meant for combat.
"Kill!" The bull's egg pulled out the crossblade.
Alas, the sound of the metal friction of the long knife coming out of the sheath made Zhang Zai's hair grow up. Although Confucian scholars are not known for their combat effectiveness, as a Confucian literary master, he also has a certain amount of combat ability, and now he also draws a horizontal knife across his waist.
However, his hands were a little embarrassed and he didn't listen very much. He pulled out several times without even pulling out the knife.
At this time, the two sides have begun to go wrong.
Bingge's clashes ping ping ping ping ping pong ping pong ping pong ping pong ping pong Hold the reins.
Suddenly, a blood spring burst from his side, warm blood spilled on his face, and when he turned his head in astonishment, he saw a soldier who had lost his head, and was sprayed from the horse's neck with a spray of blood on his back.
Zhang Zai recognized the soldier. He also said two words to each other. He knew that the other man was a down-to-ear man. He loved to laugh and made him feel good. Unexpectedly, the Khitan people were stunned.
Before Zhang Zai shouted, his brain was suddenly slammed and his eyes were dark.
Thinking that he was being hit by Khitan, he was about to be killed by Huang Quan. Zhang Zai couldn't control his fear anymore, and he could not bear to hear the screaming than to kill the pig.
He didn't fall down, but hit his forehead, just a broken arm.
Zhang Zai did not know how his side rushed past the Khitan Cavalry, and his mind was blank.
Aspiring scholars always think that their blood is invincible, even if they break into the army and take the first rank, they will not be timid. Even if they are besieged by the enemy in a desperate situation, they can cry out to the last minute of the country's death battle.
I do n’t know if I have n’t been hung by a knife and axe on my forehead for a few times, I wo n’t know at all how difficult it is to make the hands and feet obedient to the sudden sword and sword forest on the battlefield; It takes a lot of courage to cut the key to the opponent.
"Take them away!"
Because of a loud roar, Zhang Zai finally returned to God. He looked around and found that there were a few people in his team, although not many, but they were indeed missing.
Those who shouted this sentence were all bullheads. After roaring this sentence, he took half of the riders out of the brigade, turned a corner, and greeted the Qidan four hundred or five hundred riders who came up.
Although the Khitan scouts just killed, although they did not cause much damage to the cavalry, the team's speed has slowed down by a few points, and the later Khitan fine horse has caught up.
At this time, Zhang Zai ignored the fact of urinating his pants, and the huge tremor in his heart made him unwilling to disable the tonal hoarse voice and shouted: "All heads, there are many barbarians, you go back to death!"
As soon as this remark was made, Zhang Zai shuddered.
Dozens of cold eyes fell on him together.
"Shut up!" The deputy drank in a deep voice.
Zhang Zai opened his mouth and was speechless.
Of course, the ox egg knows that there is no doubt that it will die if you return to fight.
But only in this way can we stagnate the speed of the opponent and win the opportunity for others to bring back the military newspaper.
Zhang Zai saw Ergouzi and others. Although he was red-eyed and gritted, he didn't mean to look back and look at it again. He just desperately urged the speed of horses. He was instantly awakened. Obviously, scouts were already mentally prepared for such a situation.
This is the fate of scouts.
Looking back, looking through the same robe behind him, he faintly saw the back of more than forty riders decidedly, rushing to the turbulent Khitan elite riding crowd, Zhang Zai just felt that his throat was as hard as a rock in an instant, and tears came out of his eyes.
Of course, he knew that if there was no cattle and eggs to return to death, he would definitely not be able to survive, everyone would not be able to survive, and the military intelligence would not be able to reach the border.
Zhang Zai, Liu Dahe, and others who had just joined the army, no matter how unbearable they were, at least at this moment, they realized what the same robe was. Qi Yue is undressed, and is the same robe as the son. This is a simple eight character, but the strength and sadness contained in it are so deep that those who are not involved cannot appreciate it.
Withdrawing his gaze, his vision had been blurred by tears, his heart was ashamed, self-blame, and his body was hot, and he clenched his teeth tightly.
He used to look down on the lieutenant general.
But now, he finds that he is not even qualified to be a warrior.
"Second son, you take someone back!"
Suddenly, the deputies all screamed.
In front of them, another team of Khitan scouts appeared, and the number was large.
They left the border too far, and too far into the grassland. When they came, relying on experience and agility, they avoided many Khitan scouts; but now, with their flees, they can no longer cover their tracks.
In the face of enemies who have the power to hinder the entire team, their only way of survival is to keep people off again and again.
Until only the last person left.
Or maybe none.
