To the amazement of the No. 20 cavalrymen, they watched and saw torches lit on the opposite side.
Cheng Huaiqian saw the fire from a distance, and guessed it should be their cheap subordinate, but when he got close to the fire, it disappeared, and he didn't dare to continue approaching rashly, fearing that the horses would trample the cavalry, so he simply slowed down. Ask Xia Ruize to light a torch to show their location.
After an hour of running wildly, these frightened war horses finally vented their panic during a lot of exercise. At this time, they calmed down a lot, and slowed down along with the leading horses. Therefore, the two teams of twenty cavalrymen just watched helplessly. Slowly approaching them with a bunch of torches.
The firelight reflected the faces of their two new officers, and even more so, the black and black horse herd behind them.
cavalry:? ?
cavalry:! ! !
A group of cavalrymen rubbed their eyes vigorously, until Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize reined in in front of them, they still maintained their silly movements and blank expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Go, count the total number of horses. Send two people to walk all night and send them back to Bianlu City, and ask for some reinforcements from the captain. Don't disturb our rest."
After issuing four orders in a row, Cheng Huaiqian didn't pay attention to what these cheap subordinates were thinking, he directly dragged Xia Ruize into one of the tents, and didn't care if the others had slept, he set the alarm clock and fell asleep.
"I can still sleep for four hours. Let's do it again in the morning."
Patting Xia Ruize comfortingly, Cheng Huaiqian put his head on Xia Ruize's shoulder, and soon fell into a deep sleep. He was a little obsessed with the feeling of being able to fall asleep by touching the pillow, and not having insomnia was really a matter of bliss.
Xia Ruize adjusted his posture and soon fell asleep. Following Cheng Huaiqian for the past two days, he has gotten used to this rhythm of sleeping whenever he can, always being energetic and ready for battle.
When the two fell asleep, the twenty cavalrymen outside were still looking at each other, so surprised that they didn't know what to do.
Someone wanted to say something, but was immediately slapped by his teammates and made several gestures, so everyone had to walk away from the tent, and then discussed with each other in a low voice:
"Are our two officers really human? They ran overnight, did they take all the horses from the barbarian camp?"
"I told you before that don't underestimate our officers. I have inquired with the Bianlucheng man. These two officers are fierce men who have killed hundreds of barbarians with their own hands.
I also heard from the logistics soldiers that at least 300 barbarians were killed outside the city lord's mansion and the north gate of Bianlu City. Not to mention the restaurant that burned the ashes of the city, tsk tsk, our officer is the one who really stepped on the blood of the barbarians. "
"My God, we dared to question the command of the officer before. I have personally experienced the meaning of 'I don't know what to do'. What should I do now?"
"What else can I do? Follow the orders of the officers. First, count the horses. Second, send them back to Bianlu City overnight. Third, don't disturb the two officers!"
…
The two teams of cavalry who reached an agreement tacitly led the horses away from the camp, and then, under the reflection of the fire, they worked together and counted for a long time. Fifteen war horses!
Among them was a top-quality battle horse of sweaty BMW level, which was the one that Xia Ruize rode when he came back.
In the end, the cavalry left the two best horses, and the other 193 horses were all under the responsibility of the two cavalry. The horses rushed back to Bianlu City.
Who knows if the barbarians will catch up and try to get back the horses, they must go as far as they can before the barbarians catch up, and vow to send the horses back to Bianlu City!
The two cavalrymen who were ordered to go on the road held torches and led the horses. Relying on the guidance of the guide star, they followed the barely visible road and drove the large group of horses back to their camp in the dark.
Although they woke up in the middle of the night and were asked to do this kind of errand, they were full of happiness from body to heart.
They are cavalry, and war horses are their most valued partners. The barbarian war horses are famous for their high quality, and nearly two hundred high-end barbarian war horses were seized at once. This is an amazing harvest!
They could all imagine how rewarding the captain would be for them as the ones who reported the news, not to mention the two officers who had made such great achievements.
Now, the cavalry no longer doubted or envied the two new officers in their hearts. Some only had admiration. The two officers were really amazing for being able to bring back so many war horses like wolves with empty hands!
The eighteen cavalrymen who stayed in the camp counted so many war horses with their own hands, and their excitement could not be calmed down for a long time. They simply had a heated discussion in a place far away from the camp. In the end, two people were left to watch the night, and the others huddled together to rest in another tent. up.
The small camp belonging to Daxia fell into silence, and the barbarian camp over there also fell into silence after tossing around in the middle of the night.
No way, I was woken up in the middle of the night, and I was tossed hard again. The barbarians couldn't bear it anymore. After cleaning up the camp, they saw that no Daxia people came to attack again. It was expected to be Christmas Eve tonight, so they went to sleep separately. went.
The barbarians who drank milk tea that had been kept hot on the fire before going to bed slept particularly soundly.
"Beep beep...beep beep..."
At four o'clock in the morning, the alarm on Cheng Huaiqian's watch rang. He opened his eyes immediately, his eyes quickly turned from confusion to sobriety, and sat up.
Xia Ruize moved his hands, rubbed his eyes, and sat up.
"Let's go, teach them another lesson before dawn."
After Cheng Huaiqian woke up, he immediately entered a state of full energy, gearing up for trouble.
Xia Ruize was almost there, he sat in a daze for a while before he regained consciousness. Speechlessly looking at the shining eyes of his teammates in the dark, he felt deep sympathy for the tragic fate of the enemy being targeted by his teammates.
The movement of the two was discovered by the night watch cavalry, and secretly notified the teammates in another tent, so when Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize walked out of the tent, the remaining No. 18 cavalry had already stood behind the fire and waited for orders.
"Sir! We..."
Seeing Cheng Huaiqian come out, the tall ten-officer, who insisted that he could not walk in the dark, stood up and prepared to plead guilty. After all, the two officers proved with practical actions that not only can they walk in the middle of the night, but they can also do great things!
"Want to follow us?"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Huaiqian directly interrupted his words and asked back.
The tall man was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Yes!"
"Pack up your things and get ready to go."
Cheng Huaiqian calmly ordered.
The previous disobedience happened so lightly, and the two teams of cavalry were very surprised. In their perception, which officer's authority was provoked and it turned out that the officer was right, and then he didn't ruthlessly ridicule his subordinates
The two newly appointed officers did not take the opportunity to punish them.
The cavalry could feel that Cheng Huaiqian really didn't care, he went to the side to clean himself up after he gave the order, Xia Ruize was even more kind, and even smiled at the cavalry.
So, with an inexplicable mood in their hearts, the two teams of cavalry swiftly cleaned up the camp, then got on their horses and waited for the command of the two officers.
Cheng Huaiqian released his amber horse, pulled it out from the dark jungle, got on the horse, and stretched out his hand to Xia Ruize, who was about to ride the best BMW he had snatched back:
"Let's ride together, the journey is still long, and you can still sleep for a while."
No matter how good the barbarian's BMW is, it is still inferior to the amber horse. Even with two people carrying a load, the amber horse runs faster than other war horses. It does not delay the journey at all. It is also very stable and comfortable, and the riding experience is better.
Cheng Huaiqian has been very busy at work, he is used to continuous rotation, and maintains the most energetic energy all the time, but he can tell that Xia Ruize is not, after two days and two nights of continuous fighting, his teammates' biological clocks were disrupted, and they are trying to cooperate with him.
It may be that his head is not fully awake yet, Xia Ruize accepted Cheng Huaiqian's invitation, was pulled in front of his teammate, then nestled into his teammate's arms, and soon fell asleep amidst the regular ups and downs of the horse.
The night was still dark, even the night before dawn was especially dark, but there was an officer leading the way, and a group of cavalry chased each other, bravely embarking on a night march that was forbidden for cavalry.
Cheng Huaiqian didn't bring all the cavalry around the barbarian camp. On the contrary, when he was still some distance away from the barbarian camp, he kept arranging the cavalry to stay where they were, digging pits and making traps according to his requirements.
Eighteen cavalrymen, in groups of three, were assigned by Cheng Huaiqian to make more than ten traps.
After arranging these cheap men, Cheng Huaiqian continued to ride his horse and led Xia Ruize closer to the barbarian camp. Approaching the barbarian camp, Cheng Huaiqian shook Xia Ruize to wake up his sleepy teammates, and the two dismounted together.
Xia Ruize drank several sips of the mineral water bursting out of the treasure chest, feeling refreshed, and the two approached the barbarian camp quietly again in the dark.
While sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, the camp was raided and suffered heavy losses. It was a great shame for the barbarians. They counted the losses, cleaned up the camp, and even discussed countermeasures with great anger. After a busy half-night, the whole camp finally became quiet again.
The darkest time before dawn was also the time when the barbarians slept most soundly. They never imagined that the Daxia people would dare to attack again.
