Chapter 680 The Protectorate’s Palace planned to fight the enemy, and Yu Luan Sword defeated the Mang Cavalry.
The four cavalry Xu Fengnian, Yu Dilong, Mi Fengjie and Fan Xiaochai followed the twenty cavalry, including Yu Luan Sword and two deputy generals, and led by a scout of Youzhou, leaving the city and galloping towards the northeast for half an hour.
Along the way, there were a mess of fort villages. Although this line was not on the route of the 20,000 troops in Beimang, after the war, there were nearly a thousand people in the remnants of Lilu and Langsien. Even if these scattered soldiers and scattered cavalry faced the wind, they would flee, but the small villages along the river north of Hengshui were disasters. The 600 cavalry of Hengshui have been going out to chase and suppress the enemy in the past few days, but after the initial panic, the 20 to 30 cavalry continued to meet. Among them, one of the Beimang cavalry with a number of 200 had a head-on encounter with the Hengshui cavalry, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Moreover, in the desert outside the Great Wall, not to mention hundreds or dozens of horses, or thousands of horses, as long as they are far away from the city pass, they are really looking for a needle in a haystack. After Yu Luandao’s elite scouts met the Beimang cavalry in the wild, they did not take the initiative to attack, but were only responsible for spying on military information. The Mang cavalry dared to fight with the Hengshui cavalry, but after seeing the Youzhou cavalry with a cool sword and light crossbow, even if they had an absolute advantage in number, they would take the initiative to retreat and flee far away. Generally speaking, the well water did not violate the river. However, if the Youzhou scout met a small group of Mang cavalry and made some military achievements, Yu Luandao and the deputy generals and captains in the army had no objection to this, and it would take a reason to kill a few more Northern Mang barbarians. However, the reason why Yu Luandao was so silent today was because the five scouts of the army, except for the spys they had previously detected, only one of the cavalry returned to Yinyao City and brought the latest news. This news could not even be regarded as a military intelligence of the little weight. The scout said that they met sixty cavalry barbarians in a village outside the city. According to the Beiliang scout regulations, one team is used to one, and their side only needs to send back the message, because the number is huge, and they will not bear the crime of “retreat without fighting.” What’s more, the Youzhou scout who had just returned from further north should not have fought with the cavalrymen of Beimang, but needed to return to the city immediately and hand over the collected military information to the cavalry camp. In addition to the sergeant who arbitrarily advocated disobeying the regulations, Yu Luandao felt more helpless. In Beiliang, where the military rules are the most important, the four cavalry scouts are likely to not even be able to save the little military achievements they had earned before, and Yu Luandao didn’t know how to report to the Beiliang King who was among the Youzhou cavalry. In the Liangyou border army, retreating from the battle formation, lying about military information and killing good and making achievements are three for sure death crimes, but various disobeying regulations are also death crimes that follow closely.
The deputy general of Youqi, Shi Yulu, glanced at the strange four horses behind the team and said softly to Yu Luandao: “The four scouts must have died in battle, how to report it afterwards?”
Yu Luandao showed a rare look of pain: “It is reported in fact.”
As the leader of the four hundred scouts of Youqi, Fan Fen, who heard such cold-blooded bastards before the Battle of Jibei, would have cursed the master Yu Luandao for a long time, but it was a battleAfter the battle, the Youzhou cavalry was extremely admired by Yu Luan Dao. Fan Fen whispered: “General Yu, you can’t be compatible. We don’t care about their previous military achievements. We only report that “meet a large group of raging cavalry on the road, and four of them died on the way to the south.”
Yu Luandao kept silent.
The cavalry team rushed into the village near the river, and the corpses of villagers could be seen everywhere. The village where forty or fifty families should have been left without any chickens and dogs, but only a few willows with curved branches outside the village were exuding those green hints in the early spring when everything was supposed to grow.
On the wheat-drying field in front of a village in the north of Zhuangzi, they saw the bodies of five people in the family of old and young. Two old men were killed at the door by Beimang’s sword. The middle-aged man who should have gone to the fields to sow spring wheat, still held his hoe tightly after his death. His son’s head was right in front of him, and the young headless corpse was closer to his mother. The woman was stripped of her clothes and was ruined by the Beimang Cavalry, and her limbs were cut off.
The young scout sobbed, “The commander couldn’t stand it and asked me to bring the military information back to Yinyao City. Then he said he died further north and told me not to care about the life and death of the three of them. I refused to leave, so the commander kicked me hard and said that all five of them died here. What should I do with the military information!”
On the wheat-storing field, four Youzhou scouts, all the swords and light crossbows were taken away, and all the armors were removed, and only four corpses were left.
One person died under the wall of the mud house. After the arm holding a knife was chopped off by the Beimang cavalry, he deliberately placed it on his head. The two died in the wheat-drying field. The sergeant’s body was tied to a bench and used as a target of arrows. His whole body was covered with bloody holes shot out by bows and arrows.
Yu Luandao, Shi Yulu and Fan Fen didn’t say anything.
They have seen more cruel scenes than this. To the north of Northern Liang, there was no war that lasted until one side was completely dead. Who did not collect the corpse for one Beiliang robe after another?
But this is not Beiliang, it is Jizhou!
Fan Fen, the old scout who could clearly call out the names of four people, said softly with red eyes: “Not worth it, you’re not worth it…”
Then Fan Fen saw the young boy wearing thick fur walk towards the corpse of the sergeant. Fan Fen strode forward, trying to push away the young man who was extremely disliked. I didn’t see you when I was killing the enemy on the battlefield. Now the battle has come to an end. You kid also wore a fur that four people might not be able to afford in your life. What a good person! I don’t care if you are the descendant of a wealthy family in Jibei! Fan Fen reached out and shouted, “Get out of your egg! As long as we are not dead in Beiliang, it will not be your turn to collect the corpse!”
But Fan Fen suddenly found that he could not push the young man at all.
The man squatted down with his back to everyone, slowly relieved the cold rope tied to the body, took off the fur on his body, and wrapped the corpse.body.
In anger, Fan Fen suddenly pulled out the scallop from his waist, and at the same time, even Shi Yulu began to draw the scallop.
An old man walked gently to the young man, and the entire wheat drying field was filled with majestic and fierce sword energy.
Yu Luandao said in a deep voice: “Fan Fen, stop! Don’t be arrogant!”
Fan Fen was stunned. Yu Luandao’s unreasonable obstacle made the man who had a military career for twenty years feel sad and angry. Just as he rushed forward with a knife, he saw the young man holding his face like a hook after he was wearing the fur on the body, and peeling off his “skin” bit by bit.
I heard this man say to himself, “Yes, you are not worth it. You died in Jizhou, died in a foreign land. People who cannot even protect Liyang, why do you Youzhou cavalry know that they are dying or still have to care even though you know that they have disobeyed the scouts’ orders of Beiliang?”
The man gently helped the scouts’ chief squad closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, “If it were three years ago, I wouldn’t understand. At that time, I thought that the heroes in the world would only help the injustice when they saw the injustice, but when I really walked into the world, I would have walked through Liyang and Beimang, and realized that it was not the case at all. Even the heroes in the world would not be as stupid as you.”
The young man looked up at the only living person left among the five scouts in the army, the young Youzhou scout, and asked, “What are your names?”
The young scout subconsciously blurted out: “Fan Liao, Hu Zonghan, Zhao Dian. I only know that the surname of Wu Zheng was Lu, and the commander never showed us military cards.”
Fan Fen said: “Lu Chengqing, after twelve years of military service, he was born as a crossbowman in Liangzhou. He should have been the one who was the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the second to have a little military merit for so many years… And this kid, named Liu Tao, has never been a coward.”
The young man who looked like a noble family not only supported the commander’s body and stood up, but also tied the body with the rope to him, plundered the horse’s back, and the dead and the living people rode together.
He said, “Yu Luan Dao, you will go back to Yinyao City with three corpses and lead 6,000 cavalry to Hulukou. I will be able to follow your army in at most half a day. Remember to bring more armor when leaving the city. Scout Liu Tao, you need to wait here. I will help you get the crossbow knife and iron armor. Then you will have to take the sergeant back with those things.”
As he spoke, the strange three cavalry of the old and young woman also boarded the horse.
