Chapter 1211 Landmines
"Everyone go quickly. The prince has sent an order. If we can't get to the camp in two days, we will all eat whips!"
A Dangxiang cavalry rode a war horse and ran and shouted.
The large army sent by the deputy general to greet him had not arrived yet, but the scout had arrived first and sent the news.
When the grooms heard the cavalry shouting, they all looked bitter, picked up the whip in their hands and slapped it hard on the butt of the cow and horse.
However, the cattle and horses had been walking for most of the day and were so tired that they were too tired. After being whipped, they took a few steps and slowed down again.
Then the groom beat it again and it was useless.
Seeing this, the cavalry was helpless.
He could see that both the groom and the cow and the horse had already tried their best.
But the military orders were like mountains. Li Lingrui sent an order to deliver the things to the camp within two days, so they had to deliver them, otherwise everyone would be punished.
The cavalry shouted and ran to the end of the transport team, but was stopped by another soldier of Dangxiang.
They were from the same tribe, but one of them was assigned to the infantry team to be responsible for the safety of the team. The other was assigned to the scout team because of their good horsemanship, to ride a horse to explore the way and send messages.
"Bald wolf, how far is it to the Nanzheng Camp?" the infantry stopped the cavalry and asked.
"It's probably fifty miles away." The cavalry replied.
"Fifty miles..." The infantry's face turned dark immediately: "Half has passed today, and there is only one and a half left. We carry so many things, how can we walk fifty miles?"
"We have to leave even if we can't finish it. This is the Sixth Prince who will die. If we can't get out of here, we will be whipped!"
The cavalry also had bitter faces.
If you want to be punished, not only the groom, but no one can escape the entire transportation team, he must also be with you.
"Didn't the Sixth Prince make things difficult for us on purpose?" the infantry muttered: "We can't even get out of here if we are exhausted for two days!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" The cavalry kicked the infantry's shoulder: "Dare you enough to say bad things about the Sixth Prince?"
"There is no one here!" The infantry looked around with guilt: "Besides, I'm not talking nonsense!"
"Don't complain. The Sixth Prince has fought a war and will not deliberately make things difficult for us unknown people. It should be that the battle ahead is about to start, otherwise the Sixth Prince would not be so anxious to urge us!"
The cavalry said, "The scout who came to deliver the letter from the front said that the Sixth Prince asked the deputy general to send someone to pick us up."
"How many people have been sent?"
"How do I know?" the cavalry shook his head: "But since we are here to welcome us, the number of people should not be small, right? And I heard that the people who come here are all one occupants and three occupants, and can help carry the catapult cart."
"It's almost the same," the infantry nodded with satisfaction.
If someone helps to share the burden, it is possible to walk fifty miles in two days and one night!
You may be very tired and have no rest time, but it is better than being whipped?
"When will the person who picks up us arrive?" the infantry asked again.
"I heard from the people in front of you that you can come this evening at the latest!"
After the cavalry answered, they saw someone in front looking back at them, and ran away on horseback.
More than twenty miles away from them, the reinforcements sent by the deputy general were running wildly on the mountain road.
Now the camp is filled with a depressing atmosphere of war about to break out. I was assigned here to pick up supplies, and the cavalry team feels glad.
Although it is hard to pick up supplies, it is much better than working hard!
This mountain road is relatively wide, and war horses can run. A group of people are running happily when they suddenly heard several loud noises coming from the front.
Looking up, I saw several war horses and cavalry rolling in the air at a glance.
The fast-running team suddenly became a mess.
However, riding a horse is a necessary skill for the nomadic people. The cavalry riding skills are good, and the chaos has not lasted for too long before it stabilized.
The cavalry captain, located in the middle of the team, pulled down the armor mask as soon as possible, and carefully scanned the sides of the mountain road.
Since the reconnaissance battalion led by Monkey came to Xizhou, it would sneak into Dangxiang from time to time and attack Dangxiang officers when they found an opportunity.
In the past half month, four or five middle-level officers of the Party have been assassinated.
The means of assassination are either grenades or hidden arrows.
Grenades are one of the most iconic weapons of Zhenyuan Escort Agency. When they saw the explosion, the cavalry captain's first reaction was that they were ambushed by Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
But after looking at the surrounding terrain, the cavalry captain's brow frowned again.
Although there are mountains on both sides of this mountain road, they are all short, small and flat hills. The mountains are bare and can see how far they are. There is really no place to ambush?
How did the explosion come about?
Just as I was wondering, another explosion came from the front.
"Did you see where the grenades were thrown from?" the cavalry captain asked the people around him.
He was looking at the mountain range on the left just now, not paying attention to the right, thinking that the grenade was thrown out from the right.
But the terrain on the right is wider than the left, and there is no place to hide people!
Did the enemy hide it again?
After so many battles, the Dangxiang people have discovered that the reconnaissance battalion is good at makeup reconnaissance.
But the terrain on both sides is too single. If the Shu army scouts will disguise themselves, it is impossible for so many of them to see it? www.Bayizw.????m
The cavalry captain did not dare to take it lightly, so he kicked a small leader next to him: "Go ahead and see what's going on?"
Although the little leader was unhappy, he could only bite the bullet and drive forward.
A moment later, the little leader came back: "Brother, someone buried a grenade in the sand in front of him, and it exploded as soon as he stepped on it!"
After saying that, he took out a grenade the size of a bowl from the war horse: "This is what the brothers in front found out from the sand."
This grenade is different from what you usually see. It is not only larger, but also round and flat, with only two fingers in thickness, and looks very strange.
Seeing the grenade, the cavalry around subconsciously dodged back.
"Don't be afraid, the brother in front said that as long as you don't press these two iron pieces, it won't explode."
The little leader pointed to the two iron pieces on the top of the grenade.
"The grenade buried in the sand?" The cavalry captain rubbed his eyebrows irritably: "How can the people from Zhenyuan Escort Agency be so traitorous?"
Yes, this kind of grenade that explodes as soon as you step on is a landmine designed by the explosives laboratory based on Jin Feng's guidance.
Dangxiang is full of sand and wasteland, which is most suitable for burying mines.
Build mines in the mud, no matter how exquisite the camouflage is, you can still find traces when you look closely. However, if the mines are buried in the sand, there is no need to be disguised. If a gust of wind blows at night, the sand will help the corps officer wipe out all the traces.
And to the west of this mountain road is a piece of yellow sand, and the yellow sand on the mountain road is more than ten centimeters thick.
Usually used to run horses, this terrain is the most comfortable and can also avoid damage to horse hooves.
But now, this place has become the most suitable place for burying grenades!
