Chapter 225 Getting out of trouble (2)
Although the future is difficult, Han Zhan is not willing to sit there and wait for death. Since the future is not clear, consider returning as usual, finding a suitable place to cross the Yellow River and returning to Jizhou. However, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to get some food, otherwise everyone will starve to death before they get out of the mountains.
Thinking of this, Han Zhan bowed to the hunter and asked politely: "Dare you ask me, is there anyone nearby?"
From Han Zhan's tone of speaking, the hunter guessed what he thought, shook his head and said, "Mr. Jun. I don't know that even the closest family is a hundred miles away. The mountains are not as good as plains. You will have to walk at least two days like this. And they are all small villages of more than a dozen families, so they may not be able to provide you with enough food."
Han Zhan knew that the hunter was telling the truth. Not to mention the current sparsely populated dynasty, even in later generations, there were not many families in some villages located in deep mountains and forests. He bowed to the hunter and said politely: "Thank you for your advice." After that, he turned his eyes to the horses in the distance and thought to himself, "If you really have no way out, you can only kill the horses to fill your hunger."
The hunter turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, took out a hare from the bag, and said to Han Zhan: "This Jun Ye, there is a rabbit here, which I just caught in the mountains today. If Jun Ye doesn't dislike him, I will send it to Jun Ye."
Although a rabbit cannot make all nineteen people full, it is better than nothing. Han Zhan is still grateful for the hunter's timely help. He bowed deeply to the hunter and gave a wink at the Qin team. The latter hurried forward and took the hare from the hunter.
Team Qin led people to the unfreezing stream, peeled the rabbit, cleaned it, skewed it on a thick branch, and grilled it on the fire. Before the rabbit was cooked, the two cavalrymen who went to explore the road hurried back. Then they did not find the village nearby, but unexpectedly encountered two wolves.
For the cavalry who have experienced many battles, the two wolves were not scary at all. On the contrary, their eyes were so excited that they were shining. For the hungry people, this was a delicacy for the door. The two took off the bows and arrows on their shoulders and shot the wolf to the ground, fearing that the other party would not die, so they went up to make up for it.
Seeing the two wolves brought back by the cavalry who were exploring the way, Han Zhan suddenly felt much more at ease. Although the wolf meat was not delicious, it could at least fill everyone's stomach. After complimenting the two cavalry, he ordered someone to clean up the wolf meat and then put it on the fire to roast it.
…………
At this moment, in the camp far away by the Yellow River, Huang Zhong finally made up his mind and decided to attack Yang Feng's military camp overnight. As long as he finds a way to defeat this army and rushes to Arc destiny to find his lord, he doesn't have to worry about being cut off.
At the third update, Huang Zhong took the cavalry that took off the bell and wrapped the horse's hooves and quietly approached Yang Feng's military camp. Although Huang Zhong's troops had approached an arrow, they still did not notice it.
Seeing Yang Feng's soldiers unaware of it, Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He raised his sword high above his head and shouted: "Kill!" He urged the mount under his crotch and rushed towards the gate.
The two soldiers standing guard outside the gate saw a cavalry roaring, and hurriedly raised the weapons in their hands and tried to stop the other party. Huang Zhong stretched out his sword forward and wiped it around the neck of one of the soldiers. Because the speed was too fast, Huang Zhong's mount collapsed into the gate and rushed into the camp. The soldier's head had just rolled down from his neck. After a while, blood more than a foot high was sprayed out from his neck, splashing on the cavalry that rushed past him.
The soldiers and horses in the military camp were sleeping soundly. Only a few people woke up when they heard the sound of horse hooves. They rushed out of the tent in disorganized clothes. Before they could figure out the situation, they were chopped down by the galloping knights, or the war horses were knocked away. Wherever Huang Zhong's soldiers passed, there was no one who could stand.
Yang Feng, who was staying in the tent, was awakened by the shouts of killing outside. He quickly turned over and sat up from the couch, and asked the personal soldiers who had just run in angrily: "What's the noise outside?" There is a reason why he was so angry. It's so noisy late at night that it's easy to whistle, and then it's out of control.
The personal soldiers didn't bother to salute him, so they said loudly: "General, it's not a good thing. A bandit soldier has entered the camp and is coming to us. Let's go quickly. If you don't leave, it will probably be too late."
Yang Feng, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. According to his thoughts, within a radius of dozens of miles, there were his own troops, so where would there be any enemy? "Bandits, where did the bandits come from?"
"It's the cavalry that escaped during the day."
"Aren't they defeated us?" Yang Feng said angrily when he thought of the cavalry that he had been defeated in the daytime: "Do they still have the courage to attack us?"
When the personal soldiers heard the shouts of killing from outside, they knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, they immediately called a companion and dragged Yang Feng out of the tent by the personal soldiers. Sure enough, they saw a large number of cavalry outside, running back and forth, and saw people killing people along the way, setting fire to the tent, and the entire camp was already in chaos.
Yang Feng was so scared that he was so scared that he got on his mount and fled with the support of two personal soldiers. At this time, Huang Zhong was rushing back and forth in the camp with his men. He didn't notice that Yang Feng was not even wearing armor. He escaped from the camp under the escort of two personal soldiers.
Huang Zhong rushed in the camp with his troops for more than half an hour. He felt that some people were tired, so he turned his head and rushed out from the direction he came.
Li and Guo Si's military camp are only ten miles away from Yang Feng's military camp. Li and Guo were sleeping until midnight when they were suddenly awakened by Jia Xu and said that when they saw the fires soaring into the sky in Yang Feng's military camp, they must have been an enemy army stealing the camp.
When Li learned that Yang Feng's camp had been attacked, he immediately wanted to gather troops to rescue him. However, Guo Si stopped him: "Jiran, let's be slow. The enemy knew that our army and Yang Feng's troops were only ten miles apart, but they dared to go to steal the camp. There might be ambush along the way, so I'd better wait for dawn to talk about it."
"By dawn, Yang Feng's troops would probably collapse long ago." Li called his subordinates with a stern face and asked him to order his troops and prepare to go out of the camp to pick up Yang Feng.
Seeing that he could not persuade Li, Guo Si turned his attention to Jia Xu: "Mr. Jia, what do you think?"
"General Guo, don't worry," Jia Xu saw Guo Si asking for help from him, and hurriedly said: "In Jia's opinion, the attack on Yang Feng's military camp was just an isolated army. General Li led his troops to the scene, so he would definitely kill them and flee in panic."
"Lonely?" Li also became interested when he heard Jia Xu say this: "Mr. Jia, tell me, where is the lonely army coming out?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "General, I forgot that the Han child has three thousand cavalry under him. He was attacked by our army and Yang Feng, and was beaten to death?"
After Jia Xu reminded him, Li also recalled: "That's right, that's right, the Han family's cavalry is quite powerful. He can stand up and assassinate on the horse's back, making it difficult for us to win even if we have the advantage of numbers."
"General Li, Jia carefully checked the war horses in Jizhou and found that the horses were staring at a round iron circle on their soles." Jia Xu said thoughtfully: "And on the saddle, there is a circle on each side that can kick the feet. These things can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry."
Li was not interested in what Jia Xu said. He was only worried that he would go too late and that Yang Feng's army would be destroyed. Therefore, when the rescuers were all together, they immediately took the troops out of the camp.
"Mr. Jia," Looking at the troops led by Li and leaving the camp in a row, Guo Si asked Jia Xu: "Isn't there really any danger in Zhiran leading troops to pick up Yang Feng?"
Jia Xu smiled faintly and replied, "Please rest assured General Guo. After the troops in Jizhou have raided Yang Feng's camp, they will definitely retreat immediately. Even if General Li does not go out, there will be no danger of the entire army being destroyed." After that, Jia Xu bowed farewell to Guo Si, returned to his tent, and continued to study the horseshoes and stirrups he found.
Li took five thousand cavalrymen and left the camp less than five miles away, and saw several cavalry coming towards him. He hurriedly ordered a cavalry commander under his command to take people to stop the other party.
Not long after, the cavalry governor returned with one person. The man came to Li's horse and turned over and dismounted, crawled on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Yang Feng, I have seen the general!"
When Li heard that the person who was kneeling off the horse was Yang Feng, he was so angry that he rushed to the other party and asked angrily: "Yang Feng, I'm here to ask you, where is your camp? Where is your troops?"
"General," Yang Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, was frightened and shivered when he heard Li's anger. "There were bandits stealing the camp, and his subordinates were in a panic and fled after getting on the horse."
When Li learned that Yang Feng had lost his troops and camp and fled alone, he was furious and immediately ordered his left and right: "Come on, drag Yang Feng out and behead him!"
When Yang Feng heard that Li was about to kill him, he was so scared that he was out of his mind. He hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "God of your life, General, please spare your life!"
"Uncle," Li Be, the nephew of Li Be, whispered: "If you kill Yang Feng, you may not accept the constraints. It is better to let him go for the time being and let him continue to lead the troops to chase and kill the Han children for us."
Li felt that what his nephew said was a little reasonable, so he nodded and said to Yang Feng, who was kneeling on the ground: "Yang Feng, since you don't plead for you, I will let you go for the time being. You can go back with me immediately to rectify the troops."
Yang Feng, who escaped, was worried that the soldiers who had stolen the camp had not left, and he couldn't help but be afraid. But he considered that it was dangerous to return to the camp at this moment, but if he did not agree to Li and went back to the camp to rectify the troops, he would immediately fall to the ground. After weighing the interests, Yang Feng agreed to return to the camp to reorganize the troops.
When Yang Feng followed Li's troops and returned to the camp, Huang Zhong's troops had already withdrawn, but the camp was still in a mess. Tents in many places were still burning, and soldiers were desperately putting out the fire.
When the soldiers arrived, the soldiers in the camp were shocked. When they saw Yang Feng clearly saw Yang Feng in the crowd, they thought that Yang Feng had been missing and had moved the rescuers, and the soldiers immediately cheered again.
Let’s talk about Huang Zhong and his troops making a big fuss in Yang Feng’s camp and quickly retreated. When he returned to the camp to count the number of people, he was surprised to find that, except for more than 20 cavalrymen who suffered minor injuries, all the two thousand cavalrymen who attacked were back.
After Huang Zhong counted the number of people, the cavalry commander smiled and said to him: "Person Huang, I believe that after this battle tonight, the bandits will not dare to confront us in a short period of time, so that we can free up our hands and go south to find the whereabouts of the lord."
Jia Xu, who was studying horseshoes and stirrups in the tent, suddenly thought of a problem. The Han family's cavalry was chased by Li Guo's soldiers and fled everywhere, but they did not cross the Yellow River. On the contrary, they took advantage of the night to sneak attack Yang Feng's camp. What is the reason? After a while, Jia Xu figured out the problem, and quickly put down the horseshoes and stirrups in his hand, got up and went out of the tent, and headed towards the big tent.
Guo Si, who was dozing off in the big tent, saw Jia Xu coming in from outside in a hurry, quickly got up and asked politely: "Mr. Jia came in a hurry, otherwise what's the point?"
Jia Xu nodded and replied affirmatively: "Yes, I thought of an important thing, so I came here to pay my respects to you."
Seeing Jia Xu's serious expression, Guo Si quickly sat upright and asked: "Mr. Jia, please tell me if you have something to do!"
"Jia knows why the Han family's cavalry will attack Yang Feng's camp tonight."
"Mr. Jia," Guo Si wanted to hear what the reason was analyzed by Jia Xu, and quickly said politely: "What is the reason? Please tell me quickly!"
"While our army was blocking our troops, the Han family fled to the Arctic Pass area in a panic and lost contact with his troops." Jia Xu said slowly: "In Jia's judgment, this must be the general who commanded the troops. He planned to lead the troops to the south to find the Han family. He was afraid that our army would cut off the rear route, so he had to take the risk of attacking at night so that Yang Feng's troops would be timid and dare not cut off his rear route."
After hearing this, Guo Si frowned and thought for a while. That was indeed the case. He nodded and said, "What sir said is very true, so should we do this?"
"It's very simple. Draw the camp immediately and go to meet with General Zhiran." Jia Xu sneered and said, "If the Han cavalry generals are eager to find the Han family's children, we might as well help them, so that their master and servant can be a companion on the road to the underworld."
"Since the sir said that, I will immediately set off the camp and go to meet Zhiran." After Guo Si said that, he stood up and said to the outside, "Come on!"
