Chapter 211 Fighter
The vast grassland is boundless, and there is only the green that cannot be seen between the sky and the earth. The grassland is more than half a person tall.
The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass low... no cattle and sheep appear.
Not to mention cattle and sheep, there is not even the wind. The unblocked sun in the sky vents the heat on the grassland with all its heart, and even the weeds are hot.
Rust, rustling.
Teams of cavalry trekking among the weeds with difficulty. Whenever war horses wade through the weeds, mosquitoes like fog follow like shadows.
These cavalrymen seemed to have been trekking for a long time, their burly bodies were a little thin, their spirits were a little depressed, and their eyes were red. In order to guard against the scorching sun, their iron armor was replaced with simple cotton armor. The dust on the cotton armor had blocked its original color, and they looked gray.
Bang!
At the moment of war, Li Jinglong slapped his face hard, and then rubbed the mosquitoes to death into a piece of soil.
At this time, Duke Cao Li Jinglong was no longer as arrogant as before. He was wearing a loose cotton armor, an iron helmet behind his head, sweat on his forehead, and messy hair.
He led his team around the Ulanqab grassland to find the rear tribes of the Northern Yuan army for many days. When he first set off, he was full of energy and now he was exhausted both physically and mentally. Along the way, not to mention the Northern Yuan tribe, he didn't even have a ghost. The scorching sun was sunny during the day, and the ubiquitous mosquito bites at night, torture him so much that he was in pain.
The mosquitoes on the grassland are larger than those on the Central Plains. Three mosquitoes can make a dish with a bite. They are itchy and swollen all over their body.
"Master, have a drink of water!" The veteran servant next to him handed the kettle to Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong licked his shriveled lips and grabbed them and was about to pour them into his mouth, but his hand suddenly stopped.
"Send the order to save some water for brothers!" Li Jinglong threw the kettle back and looked up at the blue sky. "Damn it, this ghost place is hotter than Jiangnan!" As he said that, he looked at the team with a little depressed morale and whispered, "Are we going right? Don't go wrong in the fuck!"
The confidant Li family member took out the compass from his luggage, carefully checked it and said, "The head of the family is right, this is the road to Ulanqab!"
Damn, what kind of hero are you doing?
Looking at the vast grassland, Li Jinglong wanted to give himself a mouthful. He was so good that he would not stay in Datong City, and he had to go to the grassland to feed mosquitoes. But before he set off, he made a military order. Now he wanted to go back without regret!
Knowing is easy to do, but doing is easy to say, but it is hard to do. Duke Cao, who has been a child, has been full of ink, but how has he suffered such hardships?
"Hey!" Li Jinglong sighed helplessly at the war horse. Just as he was about to move his body, he felt uncomfortable on the inner side of his thighs.
After twisting it randomly for a few moments, the feeling of burning fire spread quickly throughout the body, and it was difficult to get stuck in the bones.
I have been running on the horse's back for several days, and my flesh has been worn out by the saddle. These days, I have not been under my body, and I am stung by mosquitoes every day, sweating, and my body is sticky everywhere. I rubbed my hands and it will be black.
He is still good. Every night, his personal soldiers secretly wipe him. Following his three thousand cavalrymen, there is no such thing as a Daming Lang!
As we walked, the sun grew stronger and stronger, making people drowsy, without any strength or energy.
"Stop!" Li Jinglong could no longer bear it and spoke, "Send the order, get off the horse and rest!"
Among the personal soldiers around him, some were waving flags, some helped Li Jinglong to get off the horse, and some drew their swords in the weeds half a person tall to cut out a place where people could rest.
"Oh!" Li Jinglong grinned and sat on the grass, constantly pulling his pants with his hands.
The itch was unbearable, and the heart fire was strong. I took off the armor on my body in a few seconds and grabbed it randomly. The dense and tall weeds around blocked most of the sunlight, and it was no longer a hot feeling, and it was quite comfortable.
"Why don't you leave?"
Those who followed Li Jinglong were all elite cavalry, and the orders were prohibited. After a while, they all dismounted and rested.
Deputy General Qu Neng rode his horse from the front and frowned, "Master General, you can't rest. Brothers are already bored, it's easier to dismount!"
"Then let's go tonight!" Li Jinglong was grabbing his back and said angrily when he heard this.
After saying that, a light of inspiration broke out in his mind and continued, "After walking for so many days, I should be almost at the place. The grassland is the world of the Northern Yuan people. In order to avoid alerting the snake, we lie down during the day and come out at night!"
"Go tonight?" Qu Neng turned out to be a commander in Sichuan Guards and was also an old corps. He said anxiously, "Master General, marching at night is a taboo in the army. On the vast grassland, the men don't know if they are lost! If the people in this wilderness are alone, they will die!"
"Can't trunk?" Li Jinglong glared at him angrily, "During the sun during the day, how can the brothers have the strength to rush on their way? They were already half-sanking, and they couldn't close their eyes all night after being bitten by insects. If this continues, before they can't even get the place, the brothers can't even lift the knife! How can they fight?"
Qu Neng thought about it again, that’s right!
"Release the secret whistle, spread it away, and pay attention to our horse-snooping!" Li Jinglong took off his clothes, exposed his body, wiped it with a wet towel, and said.
"Here!" Qu Neng agreed and turned his horse's head.
However, as soon as he was about to ride a horse, several war horses were galloping in the grassland ahead.
"Our scout is back!"
~~
"Main General!"
Several scouts with cracked lips dismounted and ran to Li Jinglong. When they opened their mouths, their voices were as hoarse as a stone rubbing.
"Don't talk for now!" Li Jinglong reached out and took a water bag and threw it over, "Run your throat!"
Guru Guru, a few scouts were like drinking cattle, and a water bag was instantly sagging. When the last drop of water entered the stomach, the scout wiped his lips and whispered, "I found the felt bag of the Northern Yuan army in front, ranch!"
"Really?" Li Jinglong was shocked and grabbed the scout's neck directly and asked repeatedly, "Really? Are you reading it wrong? How many people are there?"
"The General of the Cavalry is right!" The scout of the cavalry was the elite among the elite, and he said, "The felt covers for several miles, and there are probably tens of thousands of people. And not all the young and old. The General of the Cavalry has been watching there for a day. There are no thousand soldiers who can ride horses and shoot archers, and there are eight hundred!"
"According to the last generals, it is not an ordinary tribe. That place is the old nest of the Northern Yuan dynasty Army, with countless food, grass, cattle and sheep hidden, and there are also nobles of the Northern Yuan to take charge!"
"Take it seriously?" Li Jinglong asked tremblingly.
"Take it seriously, I saw the big banner of the noble Beiyuan!"
A flag, a flag!
Among the Northern Yuan army, only nobles like the Sect King and the Taiwei had the power.
It’s really a place to search for it without any effort!
Li Jinglong gasped silently, and the thoughts in his mind kept changing.
There is no one thousand enemies in the past, but there are three thousand elites who can fight on their own. Three thousand against one thousand are unexpected. Some of them are fighting this battle.
If he really wins, he will grab the big banner of the noble Beiyuan, or capture some little prince and the Grand Marshal of Bird. From then on...
Thinking of this, the scene in Li Jinglong's mind suddenly became vivid.
Li Jinglong, who made such military achievements, was a famous general of a generation. Maybe the hat of a prince who was posthumously given to his father and ancestors would fall on his head in the future.
He had long been used to being rich and wealthy, and having high officials and generous salaries. However, as a man and the head of a military general and noble family, he regretted not having military achievements in his life!
Now, military merit is coming!
"Main general! How to fight?" Deputy General Qu Neng asked anxiously.
Li Jinglong came to his senses and asked the scout again, "How far is it from us? The enemy didn't find you? Where is their stable? Where is the camp? Where is the wind vent?"
The scouts quickly came one by one, and took out a picture drawn in advance and started to tell them.
"Since the enemy has not noticed us and don't know we are coming, let's fight up!" Li Jinglong summoned the general, sat around him, and whispered, "Take action in the second half of the night, and the second half of the night is the deadliest time to sleep!"
"This is the wind vent, so let's rush in from here. After entering, a team rushed straight to the place of the big flag. A small team went straight to the stable and refused to let them get on the horses. Others went in from the wind vent and set fire along the way!"
"We must not only trample on the camp, but also burn the camp!" Li Jinglong looked at the generals, "Brothers, a man is a real man, and he will make achievements for the country. It is now time to revive the Han champion Hou Gongye!"
"If I win this battle, I, Li Jinglong, will be with the Emperor and Your Highness, and I will ask you for me!"
"Tell me again that there are countless gold, silver and treasures on the Beiyuan tent. After winning this battle, let the brothers take it!"
"Here!" The fierce generals in the army agreed with red eyes.
"Since that's the case, go to bed first! When you wake up, go with me to chop people!" Li Jinglong said with a hideous smile.
