Chapter 64
Wang Sheng glanced at Cheng Cang and said, "I think you are the little mare who always misses me. Tell you, don't give birth to my little mare. Feelings, I will not give you any feelings."
Before, he was worried that his daughter Wang Shiyi was abducted by Cheng Cang. Now, he worries about the filly being abducted by Cheng Cang.
Cheng Cang smiled and said: "I have taken care of it for so long and fed it so full every time, it is it that has feelings for me, it is eager to let me ride."
Wang Sheng vigilantly said: "At most, let you ride, don't worry about other things."
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I won't rob you." Cheng Cang looked serious .
In the end, Wang Sheng gave the filly to Cheng Cang to ride, and he himself rode the old dark horse.
He also knew that Cheng Cang would be more useful on a filly.
The old dark horse is a little old and dark, but it can still be used.
Cheng Cang is already very familiar with the filly. He also rode the filly to hunt down the barbarian last time and achieved a good record.
This time, he will also mount a filly and fight the barbarian.
During this time, the cavalry battalion was scouting for the barbarian.
Yesterday, the cavalry battalion once again sent troops to track and investigate after the incident with Yang's caravan, and finally found something.
West of Liang City, across the vast wasteland, there is a mountain called Dark Mountain.
There is a complex terrain, with caves hidden in the mountains, which used to be a barbarian lair.
Dark Mountain fell into disuse after the army of the North swept across it three years ago.
However, after a cavalry reconnaissance this time, the barbarian was found on the Dark Mountain side.
This time, the cavalry battalion Xue Rui led the crowd, aiming at the barbarian at Dark Mountain.
On the way, another scout came to report. During their reconnaissance, they found that Barbarian was catching strong men.
Anyone who was caught was sent to Dark Mountain.
Barbarians not only loot supplies, but also arrest people. To catch a woman is to use it as a reproductive tool. To catch a man is to do the roughest, heaviest and most tiring work.
Whether it's a man or a woman, after being caught, it doesn't end well anyway, so they can only live a life like a slave.
Cheng Cang immediately informed Wang Sheng after knowing the news.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. Barbarian is catching strong men, I think Big Brother Wang and the others should not be in danger for the time being."
If it wasn't for barbarian catching strong men, Yang's caravan The people were probably killed long ago.
Wang Sheng nodded lightly after listening. However, he was still worried about his son in his heart.
Liang City is far from Dark Mountain. If the cavalry rushes with all their strength regardless of exhaustion, they can reach the foot of Dark Mountain in one day.
However, after a long journey, people and horses are exhausted, and even at the foot of Dark Mountain, there is no battle strength to speak of.
When the time comes, the barbarian waits for work, and the cavalry only goes to die.
even more how, this time and infantry.
Infantry has no horses and relies on two legs to travel, so its speed is naturally not comparable to that of cavalry.
As a result, the marching speed naturally slowed down.
Xue Rui, after some consideration, did not let the infantry march in a hurry, but planned to maintain battle strength and arrive at the foot of Dark Mountain before dawn tomorrow.
Cheng Cang led the people from the T-shaped battalion and followed the main force on the road.
Three years ago, when the army was besieging the Dark Mountain barbarian, veterans like Wang Sheng participated in that battle.
So, they know the way to Dark Mountain. Even if you are driving at night, you will not get lost.
The team stopped three times on the way and ate three meals of dry food.
Taking advantage of the night, they successfully touched the foot of Dark Mountain.
What to do now is to wait for the dawn. As for what to do next, everything has to wait for Xue Rui's orders.
Soon, Xue Rui called Cheng Cang and other Ten-Men Commanders to a meeting.
I saw a sheepskin map in front of Xue Rui, which turned out to be a detailed map of Dark Mountain.
Three years ago, when the Great General in the north counterattacked and swept the Dark Mountain barbarian, the military made a careful survey of Dark Mountain and drew a more detailed map.
This time, Xue Rui brought the map.
The map is only a part, mainly because Xue Rui participated in the operation to kill the Dark Mountain barbarian three years ago, and is familiar with the terrain of Dark Mountain.
After reading the map and listening to Xue Rui's explanation, Cheng Cang knew that there are countless caves in Dark Mountain, which were dug by the barbarians.
Just listening to Xue Rui said: "The caves in Dark Mountain are the most suitable places for Tibetans. After they have captured the strong men, they will be locked in Dark Mountain. They must wait for enough people to be captured. , we will transport those strong men out."
He glanced at everyone and continued: "People, we want to save. However, our most important task is to kill barbarians. Barbarians are not eliminated for a day, The military and civilians in Liang City can't rest for a day."
Finally, Xue Rui decided to attack at dawn.
Cheng Cang waited for the Ten-Men Commander to leave, but Captain, the guard sent by the Yang residence, stayed behind.
It turned out that he hoped that after launching the attack tomorrow, he would give priority to rescuing the people in the Yangfu caravan.
He didn't hide it either, and directly explained the reason, saying that Young Master Yang Xuanlang of Yang's House was among them.
And he promised that after helping to rescue Yang Xuanlang, the Yang family would send thousands of tael of silver to Xue Rui, and would provide support for Xue Rui's future promotion.
Xue Rui's heart was moved after listening to it.
The influence of Yang Mansion in Liang City should not be underestimated. If he gets the support of Yang Mansion, his promotion will be easier in the future.
Therefore, he also said that after the attack tomorrow, he will do his best to help rescue Yang Xuanlang.
Waiting for the Yang mansion's guard Captain to retreat, he immediately called his Ten-Men Commander Qian Wu.
Qian Wu, a capable general under Xue Rui, is also a cultivator of Qi Sea Realm Early-Stage, one of the few in the cavalry battalion.
A few days ago, Xue Rui sent him to fight for the position of the Hundred-Men Commander in the infantry battalion, only to lose to Fang Lie.
He called Qian Wu to tell Qian Wu that he would take someone to find an opportunity to rescue the people in the Yangfu caravan tomorrow.
Qian Wu naturally followed Xue Rui's orders.
After Cheng Cang returned, he communicated the content of the meeting to the soldiers in the T-shaped battalion.
The most important point is to attack and kill the enemy at dawn.
The time from dawn is not very long, and all the soldiers are fully armed and making careful preparations.
Wang Sheng found Cheng Cang, and said solemnly: "As a parent, I also have selfishness. If there is a chance, I hope you can help save your Big Brother Wang."
Cheng After Cang heard it, he nodded heavily and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, it's natural."
Seeing Cheng Cang agree, Wang Sheng was relieved.
As dawn drew nearer, Cheng Cang saw some people writing suicide notes.
This is a habit in the military.
Everyone will die in battle, no one knows who will die this time.
When Fang Lie was the Ten-Men Commander, he also helped some soldiers who couldn't write to write suicide notes.
This time, Cheng Cang took over the job.
They said that Cheng Cang wrote it.
They are also bloody men.
Cheng Cang wrote them all, but not his own.
He never thought about death, and never thought about suicide notes.
Actually, the heartbreaker is that he is alone, who is he writing it for?
