Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

It wasn't until this moment that Zuo An turned his eyes to this child, a beautiful child, with a combination of two different beauties, not too soft and not too rough, men love to look at it, and women also love to look at it, or in other words To be more specific, this face is loved by warriors, and so are literati.

He is like Jiangnan meets Mobei, blending together, and so, just right.

Zuo An would not have thought of what kind of conversation he would hear in the next quarter of an hour, let alone that it would directly affect his views on cavalry.

Coming out of the camp, Zuo An's face was gloomy, and Qin Juan followed behind him. Qin Juan had lost his only breastplate. Given their current situation, if a cavalryman lost his armor, he would not have any supplies at all. They The east route of the military supply has long been cut off by the sudden appearance of the black dog army.

The Western Expeditionary Army can still maintain a war to support the war, but their camp that is mainly based on garrison and support is completely unable to survive, and because of this, Heizigou has become an urgent problem for them to solve.

Now there are less than 3000 people left in the Jihab camp, because the general brought 4000 people to support Lord Torre three days ago, and the remaining 3000 people were sent by Luba Qianhu.

A few days ago, Ayiga found the prime minister Yelu Chucai, the son of King Yiwen and his old troops to return, but he did not expect that Qin Juan would be rescued by Yelu Chucai.

After Zuo An consulted Lord Lu Ba for instructions, he dispatched more than 1000 troops late at night.

Almost all the cavalry in the Jihab camp were wiped out. Horses are very important things for the Mongols. To raise one horse a year can raise more than [-] slave soldiers, a dozen skirmishers, seven or eight cavalry... …

The annihilation of the entire cavalry was terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was the loss of more than 900 horses. This was what made Zuo Anxin bleed.

"All lieutenants get on their horses!" He ordered.

Before Qin Juan got on his horse, Zuo An threw something to Qin Juan, and Qin Juan was overjoyed... It was Sangbagan's felt hat and his breastplate.He quickly put the breastplate on his body and put on the felt hat.

There were only more than 100 horses. After they got on the horses, skirmishers and slave soldiers could only run behind.

What made Qin Juan ecstatic was that he was alive, and Sangbagan's horse was still alive. He whistled and the thin horse ran towards him. The horse's face rubbed against his, showing affection and affection. gentle.Qin Juan patted its head, not daring to delay any longer, turned on its horse and followed Zuo An.

To the surprise of the soldiers, Lieutenant General Zuo An asked a cavalryman to lead the way. It was the first time that Zuo An listened to a cavalryman so seriously. This cavalryman was still a slave, an 11-year-old child...

But after thinking twice, Zuo An felt that the child was right.

Those black dogs are actually not that powerful.

The first sentence Qin Juan said to Zuo An in the camp just now was: Since Hei Zigou has taken advantage, they will not leave here, so they will stay in the Dry Bi Desert, looking for the next opportunity to fight.

His second sentence was: Sangbagan once told me that if I come back alive, please seize this opportunity to fight back.

Sang Bagan didn't say that, but Qin Juan knew that Sang Bagan thought so too.Moreover, Sangbagan's words are more powerful than those of a child.

His third sentence is: I have concluded along the way that Heizigou likes to hold groups and fight at night.

Qin Juan already had a plan in mind, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say that he was just a cavalryman, and in their eyes he was just a child.There are some things that the lieutenant general should think about, if he rushes to say it, it will make people suspicious.

He didn't want to be tolerated.

The 11-year-old child thinks he has calculated everything correctly, but forgets that Zuo An is also a person with a delicate heart, and all this cannot escape Zuo An's shrewd eyes.

More than [-] people set foot on the Dry Bi Desert.

Zuo An ordered: "All the infantry are ordered to put on sandy yellow sacks, and you will be led by five other lieutenants. You will be given two days to arrive at the fifth ancient beacon that Qin Juan mentioned first!"

Among these people was Ayika.

A Yiga glanced at Qin Juan, he dismounted and handed his horse to Qin Juan.

They even broke up without talking properly.

A Yiga put a sandy yellow sack on his body, and he and several other lieutenants led the infantry to run for 75 miles to reach the fifth ancient beacon first.

And not be found by the enemy!

Qin Juan seemed to have guessed Zuo An's intention.

So their seemingly excellent cavalry, all riding horses, is the bait to attract the black dog army?

He didn't expect Vice General Zuo An to use himself as bait!

He was betting that the 1000 infantry consisting of skirmishers and slaves led by the other five lieutenants would be the first to run to the fifth ancient beacon!

Qin Juan was still riding on Sangpagan's old horse, and he tied the bridle of Ayiga's horse to one of his stirrups, so that Ayiga's horse would follow his old horse docilely.

After walking on the road for about a day, Qin Juan thought that Hei Zigou's viewing mirror had spotted them.

They did not rest that night but continued on their way. They did so only as bait to cover the thousand infantry.

Qin Juan heard Zuo An comforting the other adults.

Zuo An said that the Heizigou army didn't dare to attack them so early, and it must be after the fifth beacon.

The other adults were puzzled. Although Qin Juan knew the reason why Hei Zigou didn't attack, he didn't understand why Zuo An was so sure that it must be after the Fifth Beacon.

The reason why the Heizigou army didn't attack early was that it hadn't penetrated into the desert of Hanbi. The Heizigou army was worried that their reinforcements would come quickly, but the Heizigou army didn't find out the details of the Jihab camp. They didn't know that the Jihab camp was fast It became an empty battalion, and the general led the army west to help King Torre.

Zuo An replied to the other adults, just as Qin Juan thought.

"As for the Fifth Beacon, it's just my intuitive judgment." Zuo An frowned and pursed his lips, because it's hard to say that he didn't say it directly, and the other adults didn't ask any more questions when they couldn't find anything.

After the night, another day passed.

When Qin Juan watched the sun set over the sandy mountains in the distance, he couldn't help worrying, had Ayiga reached the Fifth Ancient Beacon?

"How long will it take for us to reach the Fifth Ancient Beacon?" Someone asked loudly.

"It's only the fourth one, so there should be at least ten miles to go." Qin Juan replied.

In this way, no one asked any more questions, and they didn't know whether to go slower or faster.

If it is slow, the enemy will see the intention clearly. If it is too fast, it is afraid that the infantry will not arrive in advance.

Running 75 miles in two days is not difficult for those who have marched for a long time. The difficulty is that the enemy cannot find any clues. The 75 miles are just conservative data.

Zuo An ordered: "March at the original speed."

After his order was issued, he asked Qin Juan again: "Every time you meet Hei Zigou, it is late at night, and when they do it, is it when you are asleep?"

"Yes, and before the night we met Hei Zigou, there was a cavalryman from another team. He said that when Hei Zigou came to kill them, they fell asleep completely."

Qin Juan had already summed up these black dog troops, they were not strong enough to be terrifyingly powerful, they seized the time accumulated in the march, and took advantage of this time to kill.

And their rest is basically two to three days of marching and one night of rest.Heizigou is very good at finding patterns.

Seeing that Zuo An didn't speak, Qin Juan continued: "Their horses are black and small. I guess this kind of horse should be fast and durable."

Zuo An heard something and thought of something, he quickly looked at Qin Juan.

Qin Juan had already looked away, not looking at him, as if what he just said was just unintentional.

And the information Zuo An got from this sentence was that the Heizigou army was not stationed nearby, they came from a long distance away, wasn't Heizigou fighting an ambush as he thought before?

It was too late for Zuo An to think too much, because the sound of horseshoes was like thunder!Carry out the ear canal!

"Hei Zigou is here..." someone shouted.

Zuo An lowered his eyebrows: "Speed! Artillery horse!"

Artillery horse is to tie gunpowder to the horse's legs to let the horse rush into the enemy's camp and blow up the enemy's formation.

This trick was learned by the Meng people from the Song people, and the one who really played it the most is the Meng people...

The Western Expeditionary Army lived up to expectations... and used this to open the eyes of the cannibals and the Romans.

Artillery horses are useless horses and artillery. If it is not an extremely critical war, it will not be used easily.

Although horses and cannons are useless, the benefits are huge.

There was a loud "boom", and the moment the artillery horse rushed towards Hei Zigou, Hei Zigou didn't have time to react. Although their formation was blown through, they had more than 3000 people.

"It's over, where are our infantry?"

"It's still five or six miles away from the Fifth Ancient Beacon Tower! Even if the infantry has already arrived, they are not here!"

"Shut up!" Zuo An yelled, and those commentators quickly shut up, and he looked at the other lieutenants: "Seeing that we only have more than 100 people, Hei Zigou and the others don't want to wait any longer. People are coming to the area that we think can be besieged! Now if we want to survive, we will pull out all the remaining artillery horses, they like to hold a group, so they can't hold a group!"

He spoke very fast, and the lieutenants all understood what he meant, and they quickly issued orders.

"Qin Juan!" Zuo An yelled again.

Qin Juan was startled, his face turned slightly pale, and he looked at Zuo An.

"When the next six artillery horses blow up, you take advantage of the chaos and go to the fifth bone beacon tower to call the infantry! If there is any delay, come and see!"

"Yes." Qin Juan gritted his teeth and nodded.

When the three artillery horses rushed towards the camp of the Heizigou army again, those Heizidogs saw the power of the first artillery horse. At this time, the three horses attacked their center together. They were so frightened that they only wanted to run away. The well-organized army has become a group of stragglers...

At this time, Qin Juan and another post soldier took advantage of the chaos and rushed towards the fifth ancient beacon.

When I saw the fifth beacon post soldiers take out the flag cloth of the Jihab camp, wave it in their hands, and blow the whistle melody belonging to their battalion.

They ran for a full quarter of an hour, until the Fifth Ancient Beacon Tower was getting closer and closer, and then slowly a whistle responded to them.

"There! There they are!" cried the postmen, ecstatic that at least their heads were saved.

Qin Juan was speechless for a while, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, he really didn't know if he was afraid of death, but it was the first time he faced such a scene, he was really powerless, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.

The hand of the 11-year-old child holding the rein was trembling. If it wasn't for the melody of the whistle from the ancient beacon tower, he could calm down for a while. He thought, he wished he could just faint...

Ayiga was the first to recognize Qin Juan, he led his people out and shouted, "Qin Juan!"

His voice was a bit weak, they had just arrived here after a long detour in order to be safe from being discovered by Hei Zigou's people!

Seeing Ayiga's face, Qin Juan couldn't help shouting: "The main force is under attack! I'm here to deliver the military order by Master Zuo's order: pinch the Heizigou army!"

"How many are they?" Several lieutenants jumped out one after another and asked.

Qin Juan narrowed his eyes, and replied in a deep voice, "I don't know for now."

He naturally knew that the other party had more than 3000 people, but he couldn't tell because the other party was three times their number.
