There were more than 600 horsemen with grain, grass and weapons, and after consulting the chief manager Cheng Zhijie and taking the warrant, they immediately left the camp.Having had the experience of chasing the Turkic wolf guards last time, the scout battalion was familiar with the road.Ashina Daozhen, An Wensheng and Lou Shide's horses were at the forefront in parallel with Su Dawei.Facing the majestic and continuous Jinshan in front of him, An Wensheng sighed: "The Jinshan Mountain Range is like a moat, if it weren't for this mountain separation, we would have been in direct conflict with the Turks a long time ago." ”Ashina Daozhen interjected on the side: "With this mountain, it is not so easy for them to come, if they ride a horse to go around, they will not be able to come for more than half a month, and if they go over the mountain, it will be difficult for the horse to walk the mountain road." ”Su Dawei smiled bitterly: "I don't need you to remind me, I know that it is very troublesome to take a horse over the mountain." ”"Our small group of people is fine, walk slowly, it is not easy to be noticed by the Turks, if there are many people, it will not work."
Ashina said: "By the way, we also have to leave a few supply points in the mountains in case of emergency. ”"Okay, you can arrange this.""
Zhao Hu'er, come here."
Ashina Daozhen turned his head and shouted loudly at the team.Su Dawei followed his voice and looked back, compared to the last time, the size of the team this time had increased tenfold.More than 500 people, more than 600 horses, running all the way, is quite spectacular.It's a pity that, as the foreman said, it is not easy to climb the mountain.When you go up the mountain, there is a lot of terrain that you can only get off your horse and lead by.Golden Mountain, that is, the Altai Mountains of later generations.The whole mountain range is trending from northwest to southeast, diagonally across the borders of Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia and other countries in the later generations, stretching for more than 2,000 kilometers.The mountain peak that Su Dawei and they are facing now is more than 500 kilometers long, with a low altitude of 1,000 meters and a high of more than 3,000 meters.Such a high mountain, although it has bloomed in spring, on those peaks, is still covered with snow all year round.The last time Su Dawei led Ashina Daozhen and other scouts to come, because he had the task of pursuing Ashina Shabi, the time was relatively tight, and he didn't have the heart to take a closer look.The mission was not so urgent, but it allowed him to observe the landforms of the Altai Mountains.The mountain in front of you is round, and the slopes are widely covered with moraine stones.The stones are cut by the glacier from the soil and rock blocks on both sides and the riverbed, and the gravel is moved down to form a lumpy slope.There is no grass growing on the moraine stones, and there are all kinds of strange shapes.Seeing that Su Dawei was fascinated, An Wensheng said on the side: "Are you interested in this kind of mountain stone?"
Don't worry, there's a lot more ahead. ”"No, I just think that this kind of broken stone may be easier to collapse, right?""
Huh."
An Wensheng laughed twice, and suddenly remembered that Su Dawei had experienced an avalanche last time, and thought for a while: "These ice stones have been formed over an unknown number of years, we should be careful and fine, we may encounter many glaciers in front, so we should be careful in that environment." ”Swish!
Suddenly, I heard a bowstring sound.One of the horsemen in the team shot an arrow with a bow, and an arrow shot out, hitting a snow-white rabbit."
Good archery!"
There were people in the team who cheered.Su Dawei opened his eyes and saw at a glance that it was Wang Xiaojie in the team.He rode out of the crowd on horseback, and when he came to the snow hare that had been hit by the arrow, he leaned over, scooped it up with his big hand, took the rabbit in his hand, and raised it high to the ranks, whistling and laughing."
You can add vegetables tonight!"
Wang Xiaojie's archery skills are like gods, and in a snow-white moraine, he can actually recognize the rabbit at a glance, and he hits with an arrow.Su Dawei estimated in his heart that the distance was about sixty meters.He asked himself if he couldn't shoot so easily.Ashina Daozhen came to Su Dawei's side, patted the horse's head, and said to Su Dawei enthusiastically: "Ami, how are you practicing your arrows?"
Why don't I give you some pointers when you rest?
”Su Dawei looked at him, with a charming smile on his face, and said a word from between his teeth: "Get out!"
”This thief, which pot will not be opened.Su Dawei is skillful, and it is not bad to use a crossbow, but there is a point, once he changes to a bow, he is completely inaccurate.On the flat ground it was also improvised, scattered with the size of a person.When you're on a horse, you can't see it at all.This incident made him haunted and a little depressed.The procession traveled about twenty miles, stopping for a short rest.Climbing a mountain is no better than flat ground, not only people are tired, but horses are more tired.Properly let the horse rest, maintain the physical strength of the person and the horse, but also to cope with various emergencies.Stop and go all the way, and in the blink of an eye, the sun is setting westward.Su Dawei glanced back behind him, along the ridge of strange rocks, the more than 500 riders he brought out this time spread out two miles away in the mountain road, and dragged it into a long way.An Wensheng said on the side: "Ami, you can send someone to tell the scouts in front of you, so that they can find a suitable place to camp and prepare to rest." ”"Hmm."
More than 500 Yue cavalry members were divided into three teams, except for three team leaders, Lou Shide and a commander captain.Su Dawei also had Ashina Daozhen and more than 50 scouts in his hands.When the team moved forward, more than 20 horses were released in front and behind, scattered for several miles, as the eyes and ears of the team, to ensure the safety of the team.If it is on the flat land of the grassland, the scouts will be released at least twenty miles.But in this ridge, it is naturally impossible to do the same as usual.It's getting dark.The bonfire rises.The scouts had searched the vicinity and judged it to be safe.The whole team found a clearing in the forest and settled down.The number of people has increased, and I can no longer shrink into the cave like last time, but fortunately there are many trees on the mountain.After carving out a clearing in the forest, installing fences and antlers, digging deep ditches, setting up camp according to the method of marching, arranging shifts and secret sentinels, everyone can finally relax the tense nerves of the day.When the bonfire is raised, the copper kettle burns on the firewood, and the ice and snow melt inside.The warriors sprinkled dry rations and some jerky into it.Su Dawei took a look, the so-called dry food includes millet, and there are also some sac cakes and the like.It's a bit like the mutton steamed buns of later generations.When you want to eat, break a little bit and put it in the pot, boil it with water, you can add some wild vegetables or meat or mushrooms at will according to your preferences, and it will be a big pot of fragrant soup in a blink of an eye.During the march of the Tang army, there was no seasoning, except for some sauce, which was coarse salt.The soldiers sitting around the campfire chattered and chatted.It's only at this time that the nerves can relax after a day of travel.Su Dawei said hello to An Wensheng, took Lou Shide and Ashina Daozhen, walked over the bonfire one by one, stopped from time to time, said hello to the soldiers, and said a few words.Although he can't be like the famous generals of the ancients, the so-called pushing clothes, but at least he has to be familiar with everyone in his team.When it's time to fight, you can command them accurately.At the moment, it is safe in the Golden Mountain, and when it comes out of the mountain, it will be the unpredictable grassland and the elusive Turkic wolf riders who will greet this Tang army.By the time he sat down at his campfire, more than half an hour had passed.Su Dawei's butt was still hot, and he saw a thin Tang Jun walking towards him with a bowl of steaming broth in both hands.He stretched out his hands halfway through when he suddenly saw the other man's eyes, and his hands immediately froze in mid-air.The eyes of this little Tang Jun are black and slippery, like two gems, revealing agility.His face was painted with black ash, which looked like it was deliberately painted to hide his face.This......
Su Dawei's face changed greatly, grabbed the other party's wrist, pulled him to his side and whispered: "Xiao Su, what the hell are you doing?!"
”This little Tang Army, who else can there be if it's not Nie Su?"
Brother, I want to be with you, now that it's all here, you won't let me go back alone, right?"
Nie Su was a little weak-hearted, his mouth moved slightly, and his voice was timid."
Heh, you have good skills, you can actually get into my team, didn't I let you stay in the camp with the Taoist leader?"
Su Dawei's eyes flashed, and he locked on Ashina Daozhen, who was bent over his waist and behaved sneakily, and shouted angrily: "Daozhen, you come over to me!"
”Lou Shide's Yue Cavalry Battalion, Nie Su is not familiar with it, so it is naturally impossible to blend in.The only possibility is through Ashina Daozhen.took a few steps forward and grabbed Ashina Daozhen with an embarrassed face, Su Dawei held back his anger: "You are so bold, you dare to bring a private person into the team, do you know how dangerous our operation is this time?"
”Behind enemy lines, everyone is an enemy country.If any one is not careful, these more than 500 people are drowned in the Turkic cavalry, and they may not even be able to avoid the waves."
Know......
Know. ”"You know how dare you do that?"
Su Dawei's eyes revealed a terrifying light, and his tone was a little calm: "Dao Zhen, do you really think that I won't punish you?"
”"Brother!"
Nie Su was frightened, she had never seen such a look on Su Dawei's face, she grabbed Su Dawei's arm from the side, and begged in a low voice: "I asked Brother Daozhen to help me, if you want to blame me, don't blame Brother Daozhen." ”"You ......"
Su Dawei's eyes almost burst into flames, and he glared at Nie Su fiercely: "How can you be childish in the army, stand aside." ”As he spoke, he shook off Nie Su's arm.In the distance, Lou Shide, Wang Xiaojie, An Wensheng and others seemed to have noticed the abnormality here and looked around frequently.Su Dawei stretched out his hand, hooked his arm around Ashina's neck, dragged him to the corner of the tent, and whispered to Nie Su at the same time, "You come over too." ”"Listen, this time we are going to reconnoiter behind enemy lines, and we may fight at any time, not child's play, let alone sightseeing......
Xiao Su, don't think that I really can't punish you, if I am ruthless, I can drive you back now, anyway, there is a supply house left by Zhao Hu'er on the way. ”"Brother!"
Nie Su's face turned white, obviously frightened.Su Dawei glanced at her, and a trace of annoyance flashed on his face: "Forget it, I won't drive you out now, but there is one thing, if you are in the army, I will not treat you as my sister, but ask you like other soldiers, understand?"
”"Understood!"
Nie Su's eyes flashed, revealing joy.Ashina on the side was really busy and nodded like a chicken pecking rice."
As for you, Daozhen, don't be too happy."
Su Dawei sneered: "Xiao Su's don't say it beforehand, but ......
In case of an accident and other people know about her, then you are the one to blame. ”"Huh?"
Ashina Daozhen was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Su Dawei meant, the flying look on his face instantly collapsed.Su Dawei patted him on the shoulder hard, and glared at Nie Su again: "Don't hide anything from me anymore, you two can know for yourself." ”()
