Chapter 1747: Three Hundred Riders

Xuanyuan Shengcai's words sounded reasonable, but Huang Tu felt that he was simply fantastic, thinking that Xuanyuan Shengcai really lost his reason because of his anger.

At this time, he felt stuffy and weak in his chest. Although he ran about ten miles, the physique of these soldiers was really amazing and his speed did not slow down. Hu Dahai was tall and strong. Huang Tu was lying on him, but Hu Dahai's speed was not comparable to Man Niu.

Life and death are at stake. Everyone is determined to meet with the cavalry earlier, so they keep walking. The seven or eight subordinates who followed Xuanyuan Shengcai, and the speed of the goalkeepers who later became slower gradually and were obviously exhausted. The six subordinates who followed Xuanyuan Shengcai from the prefecture earlier ran for more than ten miles, were full of energy and did not even breathe rapidly. The soldiers were gradually pulled apart.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night wind blows.

The moon gradually sinks, and everyone is covered in armor and feet are not stopping. They are already sweating profusely and are wet with clothes.

"General, it's almost!" I don't know how long it took, Huang Tu vaguely heard Yuan Liao's voice and said, "A few more miles away, you can reach the camp!"

Huang Tu was a little confused. He looked up slightly, but saw that the four sides were empty and he no longer knew where he was.

Sure enough, after running for a while, he could vaguely hear the sound of a horse's neighing in front of him, and he faintly saw a little light of fire in front of him. Huang Tu felt a little relieved. Along the way, he was a little confused. He had been worried that Chu Huan's pursuers would catch up from behind, worried. At this time, he saw that he was finally going to meet with the three hundred cavalrymen, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that because the target was right in front of him, the pace of the crowd did not slow down, but became faster. Huang Tu was carrying Hu Dahai's back and saw dozens of tents connected in front of him, with figures flashing, and many horses surrounded the camp.

"Who is it?" Before we got closer, five or six fast horses had already galloped up, all of whom had drawn their swords in their hands, and their voices were cold: "This is where the training camp is located, the idle people are waiting, dodge immediately!"

Yuan Liao had already rushed forward and cursed: "Have your eyes grown on your butt, and I don't even recognize you?"

When several cavalrymen saw Yuan Liao, they all got off the horse and bowed together, "Damn it young!"

"No need to say more." Yuan Liao said: "Where is Song Hui? General Xuanyuan has something to do when he is looking for him."

The cavalry had already seen Xuanyuan Shengcai standing behind Yuan Liao, so they dared not be negligent. Someone immediately summoned him into the camp. Hu Dahai finally put Huang Tu down at this time. Huang Tu said politely, but everyone had already followed Xuanyuan Shengcai to the camp.

Before entering the camp, a group of people came up to us. One of them quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Young General Song Hui, pay homage to General Xuanyuan!"

Xuanyuan Sheng said straight to the point: "Are all the people here?"

"Report to the general, all three hundred cavalrymen are here."

"Okay!" General Xuanyuan said: "Tell them to bring only dry food on their bodies, get all the horses, and follow me to set off immediately!"

Song Hui didn't say much and said respectfully, "As long as the order!" He got up, turned around and gathered the troops. Huang Tu had already breathed a few breaths, and then took the water bag handed over from the side and took a large gulp. Only then did he recover some energy and stepped forward and asked, "Is the general going to Shuoquan?"

Xuanyuan Sheng looked around, frowned, and lowered his voice: "Mr. Huang, you must keep it very confidential when rushing to Shuoquan, otherwise!"

Huang Tu said solemnly: "General Xuanyuan, you must not attack Shuoquan."

"What did you say?" Xuanyuan Sheng's eyes immediately became cold and stern.

Huang Tu said: "General, just imagine that Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue are not ordinary people, but they were defeated by Chu Huan in less than a year. General should know more about such a person than me."

Xuanyuan Sheng frowned and said with a calm face: "What does Lord Huang mean?"

"Chu Huan mobilized troops to seize the Jiazhou. Even if he was negligent, the people under his command would definitely remind him. Shuoquan is his foundation, and he would never take it lightly." Huang Tu said seriously: "Now Shuoquan must be closed with four gates. It is not easy to enter the city. It may not be because he expected that the general would attack Shuoquan, but their army was outside. Naturally, he should be wary of other forces taking advantage of the situation!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned even more. Yuan Liao hesitated for a moment and finally said, "General, what Mr. Huang said is not unreasonable. Now it is an extraordinary time. Chu Huan will never neglect Shuoquan's defense!"

Xuanyuan Sheng was silent for a moment and finally said, "What should we do according to Lord Huang's words?"

"Go to Xigu Pass." Huang Tu immediately said: "Since Chu Huan has captured Jiazhou City, he must be searching for generals everywhere. Although the northwest is vast, after all, Chu Huan's men are everywhere. It is probably a disaster for the general to stay in the northwest. At this moment, the best way is to retreat to Xigu Pass first. As long as you enter Xigu Pass, Chu Huan will lose all the troops in the northwest and will never be able to cross the thunder pool!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "Do you want Da Xi Zhang to see this general's joke?"

"The general is so serious." Huang Tu said: "Da Xizhang was promoted by Duke Yi and was favored by your Xuanyuan family. Moreover, Chu Huan had many tricks and failed the general's achievements. It was not because of the general's failure, but because Chu Huan's power in the northwest was too large. The general retreated to Xigu Pass, and one day he would be able to lead his army back to the northwest to relieve his hatred today!"

Yuan Liao bowed and said, "General, Lord Huang's words are really heartfelt words. Chu Huan has many gangs in the northwest and has a strong army. With our current strength, he is not his opponent. It is better to retreat to Xigu Pass first according to Lord Huang's wishes. As long as Xigu Pass is blocked, there will be a shortage of food and grass in the northwest, and the connection with the pass will be cut off. It won't take long. If we don't need to take action, the northwest will be in chaos. When that time comes, the general will lead us back!"

Xuanyuan Sheng walked aside and sat down, as if he was thinking. Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

In the camp, the military orders were passed down. The three hundred cavalry were really well-trained. Some of them had already fallen asleep. When they heard the military orders, they immediately got up and packed up as quickly as possible. According to Xuanyuan Shengcai's instructions, the soldiers were dressed in a well-equipped with sabers, distributed the military rations to everyone, carried them, and then took their own war horses and gathered at the edge of the camp.

Everything was extremely rapid. In a moment, Song Hui had already walked over quickly and reported: "General, the troops are ready and can set off at any time!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai nodded slightly and slowly got up. Huang Tu and others looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai. He didn't know if he was suitable for his plan. Xuanyuan Shengcai looked up at the horizon with a slight dawn. After a moment of silence, he finally said with hatred: "Well, a gentleman takes revenge. It's not too late for ten years, so let Chu Huan be happy again!" He ordered in a deep voice: "Give the order, and everyone will go to Xigu Pass with me!"

If a cavalry attacks for a long distance, a cavalry will be equipped with at least two war horses or even three war horses in turn. However, there is a lack of war horses in the northwest, so when training, they will naturally be one.

After Chu Huan defeated Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue in succession, he unified the Northwest war horses and organized them to the cavalry corps led by Xu Shao. Now Chu Huan has no less than 20,000 war horses, but they are mainly concentrated in the Qingyuan Horse Farm.

Although other cities are equipped with a certain number of war horses, the number is relatively small. The total number of war horses of Kezhou is equipped with a total of 1,000 war horses, of which 500 are scattered in various counties, each county is equipped with nearly 100 war horses, while the capital city of Kezhou is equipped with 500 war horses, part of which is used as a public service by the government. These 300 cavalry are also the only cavalry team in Kezhou City.

Xuanyuan Shengcai and others originally had their own war horses, but they walked away from Jiazhou City in a panic and could not take the war horses. They came here on foot overnight. Song Hui naturally made a war horse specifically for Xuanyuan Shengcai and others.

When Huang Tu saw Xuanyuan Sheng finally let go and was willing to retreat to Xigu Pass, he breathed a sigh of relief. The pursuers were behind him and could catch up at any time, and everyone did not delay. Xuanyuan Sheng got on the war horse and came to the cavalry team. The soldiers stood beside the war horses with reins. For the cavalry, the war horses were their brothers or children. They were cared carefully on weekdays and would never ride on the horses easily until they were necessary.

Xuanyuan Sheng pulled out his sword, scanned the neat cavalry team, and whispered loudly: "Brothers, Xuanyuan takes you with you to Xigu Pass today. Everyone present is Xuanyuan's good brother. From today on, as long as we are alive, we will have blessings and difficulties. From now on, we will never leave each other and depend on each other in life and death. Are you willing to follow Xuanyuan to the death?"

The three hundred cavalrymen had already pulled out their sabers, raised them over the top, and said in unison: "I wish to follow the general to the death!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai had a solemn expression and said, "Okay, get on the horse, come with me!" He shook the reins of the horse and shouted, and the war horse under his crotch shot out like sharp arrows. The cavalrymen boarded the horses and shook the reins. For a moment, people shouted and neighed, like hundreds of sharp arrows, following Xuanyuan Shengcai and galloped southward.

At dawn, a rainbow appeared in the sky, and the rising sun rose slightly. The camp was silent. The abandoned tents remained the same under the rising sun.

The morning breeze blew, and the sound of horse hooves was brought in the wind. From the north, a large group of people came quickly. The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and the sound of people shouting and neighing, the large group of cavalry quickly swept into the camp like dark clouds.

Chu Huan took the lead, wearing a cloth clothes and not wearing armor, which was very conspicuous. Behind him, the cavalry rolled over like a sea of ​​people. When he approached the abandoned camp, Chu Huan slowed down his horse speed, and the cavalry corps behind him had also slowed down his horse speed. Beside Chu Huan, Pei Ji was on the left, and the cavalry commander Xu Shao was on the right, not far from behind. The wolf-waizi Chu Wushuang, Hou Jingang, Gu Liangchen and other cavalry generals all stopped the war horses.

Chu Huan glanced at the camp, then turned his head and looked at the rising sun, with light shining in his eyes.
