Chapter 1519 Did the Khitan people come to die with torches? (Second more)

Chapter 1528

On the third day, that is, the day when Zhe Kexing commanded the army to go out, Wang Yang led the elite imperial musketeer cavalry for two hundred miles along the river, crossed the Yellow River, and started heading towards the Qing army on that river.

On the vast field to the northeast of the Heqing army, the north wind whimpered, and the dry grass was blown to the ground, while countless cattle and sheep were still chewing on the yellow dry grass to fill their bellies.

Those strong men need to carry bows and arrows on their backs, gallop through the vast wilderness, drive the wolves looming in the wilderness, and hunt the fat prey so that they can reserve more rations before the heavy snow comes. .

Daxin Gun (official name of the Khitan tribe) Ah Ba, who spit Liuyu, is leading fifty outstanding elite riders, chasing a group of yellow sheep along the bank of the Yellow River.

Those fat yellow sheep, for nomads like them, the fat and sweet fat that comes out when roasting yellow sheep, and the delicious broth when stewing yellow sheep are the best delicacies in winter.

This is the best opportunity they have come across for more than ten days of hunting. For this reason, they have been chasing for more than an hour. The horsepower is already exhausted, but the yellow sheep are also exhausted.

But all gazelles that cannot run have been shot and killed by Khitan riders with excellent archery skills, but they did not pick them up immediately, but continued to bypass the dying prey and continue to chase. After the group is wiped out, just go back and pick it up.

At this time, the wolves in this wilderness had already been driven hundreds of miles away by them a few days ago, and no one would dare to snatch their prey.

And just after they ran forward for about ten miles, those gazelles who seemed to have enough energy suddenly stagnated, stopped running forward, and seemed to want to run back, but when they saw them who had been chasing After the Khitan riders, they were completely in a panic.

Some panic-stricken gazelles simply jumped into the icy Yellow River, as if they wanted to cross the river desperately, while some ran desperately towards the south.

"Why go back, could it be that there is a smell of wolves ahead?" Ah Ba, an experienced old hunter, immediately stopped the horse and stopped the young people around him who wanted to move on.

"Probably not. We just inspected this area three days ago, and there is no sign of wolves at all." A young cavalryman reined in his horse's head, looked into the distance, and said loudly.

At this time, Ah Ba squinted and looked forward for a long time, but found nothing, so he jumped off the horse again, lay on the ground, pressed his ears to the ground, and listened carefully for a long time, his face became puzzled.

"Da Xin Gun, what's the matter?" A Khitan knight asked Ah Ba.

"There are at least thousands of horses. Could it be that the horses of the guys from the Yishi Department crossed the border?" Da Xin Gun Aba turned over and jumped on the horse's back, his face darkened.

"Minute B, those bastards haven't given up yet? Last year their cattle crossed the line and we drove them back. It's too much for this to happen again." Hearing Da Xin At the words of Gun Ah Ba, the warriors who spit out Liu Yu's tribe couldn't help but lower their faces.

"It's okay, follow me up to have a look. If it's really them, then we will rush to the Heqing army and ask the general and the patriarch to be the masters for us." Those gazelles who were scattered in all directions began to ride their horses and continue to move forward.

Since the sky was already dark, even though they had lit the torches in their hands and tried to hold them up high, they couldn't see far, and could only see a distance of tens of feet.

Farther away, all that could be seen was a gray-black shadow, and the sound of hooves was getting closer and closer. At this time, Da Xin Gun Ah Ba raised the torch and shouted loudly.

As he shouted loudly, the horses that were at least two miles away stopped as if they were frightened. In an instant, the sound of horse hooves in the wilderness disappeared, and only the howling north wind was still beating desperately. .

"There is a small group of unknown enemies ahead. The whole army should pay attention to vigilance and do not light fire..." Yang Shouyue's order was quickly conveyed by the messengers, and the two thousand cavalrymen under his command stopped their horses and closed their doors tightly at the same time. mouth, and put his hand on the handle of the revolver flintlock hanging from the horse's neck.

There were also messengers who rode their horses and galloped straight towards the southeast. In that direction, Wang Yang was leading [-] main force fine cavalry to move forward slowly.

"Daxingun, something's not right. It doesn't seem to be a herd of horses. Otherwise, how could we stop so quickly." A warrior from the Tuliuyu tribe also sensed something was wrong.

"If it's not a group of horses, then could it be the people of the second room department?"

"No matter who it is, Luo Ba, you lead ten people to stay where they are, and the others continue to move forward with me. If I give you the signal, you don't care about anything. Go straight to the Heqing army and tell the patriarch that there are enemies coming."

Da Xin Gun Ah Ba took a deep breath, gave instructions to another small tribal leader, and then led the forty riders forward slowly. With the handle of the bow in his hand, he manipulated the rein with one hand, and was extremely careful.

Yang Shouyue let out a breath of white air, and gave instructions to the reconnaissance general sent by the northwest frontier army who was proficient in Khitan. "Tell them that we are from the Division B, and we have just expelled the wolves. Ask them if they have seen the wolves run from which direction."

Hearing the shout from the opposite side, Da Xin Gun Ah Ba was slightly relieved, but still a little uneasy.Continue to ride the horse forward slowly with the torch on, while yelling loudly.

At this time, Wang Yangye, who had received the news, had already led three thousand main forces to outflank them quietly from the side.

"Are these Khitan people so courageous, facing my Song cavalry, they are still so calm, holding torches to die?" Ling Zong took off the windproof mask in front of his mouth and nose, and complained in a low voice.

Wang Yang chuckled, but did not speak. Instead, he continued to wait for the soldiers to line up in order to surround the Beiliao people who suddenly encountered them to prevent them from escaping.

Wang Yang is dressed in light but extremely warm cotton armor inlaid with large pieces of nails at key points, thick cotton gloves on his hands, and thick and wear-resistant felt boots on his feet.

This kind of equipment is not only enough to keep warm, but more importantly, it is far lighter than Yuanyou armor, and its defense is not low.Coupled with the mask that can block the wind, and the helmet lined with cotton, these Musketeers can march in such a cold winter climate.

However, this kind of cotton armor is all experimental equipment. At present, it has only supplied tens of thousands of Liaodong Army in the bitter cold, as well as the [-] elites that Wang Yang brought to the northwest.

After the sharp and piercing whistle came from the west, Wang Yang, who knew that the army had already encircled him, gave instructions to Wu Qilang beside him.

"Light it up!" As the order sounded, the torches were lit by the tinder one after another. Seeing the little light and shadow pointing up one after another in the direction of the dark horizon, listening to those shouts that were very different from the Khitan language, I was very excited. Xin Gun Ah Ba's face instantly turned gray.

"It's from the Song Dynasty!!!" Da Xin Gun Ah Ba roared in a rage, but the moment he roared, he heard dozens of crisp sounds coming against the wind...
