The Tianji Camp guards' eyes were red, and they felt that they had dragged Qin Feng down. If he hadn't been so useless and trapped in Beidi, how could Qin Feng have risked his life and come to rescue him personally?
As a subordinate, you should solve your master's troubles instead of becoming a problem.
Ning Hu's words undoubtedly revealed what the guards were thinking.
At this moment, Qin Feng's cold voice sounded. It was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present.
"There is no way I can just watch my brothers die in a foreign country! Not to mention Beidi, I will take you home even if I am in a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!"
As soon as these words came out, the noisy scene fell silent instantly.
The guards looked at Qin Feng with extremely hot eyes.
Who in the world doesn't know the word "love as brothers"? But how many people can really do what Qin Feng does? To all the guards, Qin Feng was not only a bole who had the kindness to meet others, a master who supported him, and a benefactor who was reincarnated, but now he was also a brother of a different surname who would never regret through swords and fires.
The Tianji camp guards all had tears in their eyes, and they secretly swore in their hearts that their lives were already Qin Feng's. Since Qin Feng can bravely go through fire and water for everyone, everyone will naturally go through fire and water for Qin Feng without hesitation.
As the mood at the scene gradually eased, Qin Feng stopped delaying and showed a rare seriousness in his eyes.
"We only have one chance to leave enemy territory and return to our country. If we cannot pass through the enemy's defense lines within two hours, it may be difficult to return home! Everyone, hurry up and discard all non-important items. Pack lightly and set out immediately!"
Everyone realized that the situation was serious and did not dare to hesitate at all. No matter how much they had in mind, they had to wait until they were safely withdrawn to Beixi County.
The supplies brought by Jin Yiwei were all consumables such as food and arrows and bowstrings. These things could not be taken away at all, and they were not worth wasting effort. So they simply dug a few holes on the spot and buried them hastily.
There are more than 160 cavalry left by Qin Feng, and each of them has two spare horses, so there are 300 idle horses, and there are 220 Tianji camp guards left on the other side, plus The 300 horses are just enough for the Jinyiwei to transport supplies and provide support.
In less than a cup of tea, everyone was ready. Following Qin Feng's order, a full dozen of 450 people rushed towards Daliang.
Since his whereabouts had been leaked, in order to avoid running into the enemy cavalry patrolling the border head-on, Qin Feng did not choose the shortest route and went straight to Beixi County, but first took a circuitous route to the east.
The Beidi army is mainly concentrated in Beixi County and the direction of the border army. The farther east, the weaker the defense.
But don’t go too far east!
The national border between Daliang and Beidi is not long. It is centered on Beixi County and the important border town, extending 500 miles eastward and 1,300 miles westward.
Moreover, because the two countries have been at odds with each other for many years, the neighboring vassal states have always been tense and have annexed countless countries on the border. If you approach other countries rashly, you will be driven away if you are lucky. It is not unreasonable to almost be hacked to death on the spot if you are lucky. possible.
Qin Feng led the soldiers and galloped for twenty miles, then slowed down the horse and trotted out for another fifty miles. Due to the lack of spare horses, the mount was exhausted. In order to avoid exhausting the mount, Qin Feng had to order to rest on the spot.
But he didn't dare to delay for too long, which was just a stick of incense, and he set off on the journey again. But this time he didn't dare to run away. He could only turn the horse's head and let the mount walk slowly south.
Because he took a long detour, Qin Feng did not arrive at the border line at the agreed time. Two hours had passed and the sky was completely dark. Judging from the uneven terrain around him, this place should be Jiupan Mountain, which was at least a few miles away from the border line. Forty miles away!
In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the entire army could only advance in the dark.
Ning Hu, who was following him, couldn't hide his joy: "Brother Qin, if we continue like this, we will be able to cross the border and return to Daliang in an hour. This place is a full seventy miles away from the war zone. I don’t expect the enemy to set up an ambush here.”
In Ning Hu's view, it was only a matter of time before he returned to the Daliang territory.
But Qin Feng couldn't be happy, and his eyes kept glancing back and forth: "It's not the time to be happy now, the surroundings are too quiet, or too quiet. If I were Chen Si, I would definitely seal all the exits. Taking a detour eastward is definitely not a clever method."
"It's just that the main army in Beidi is attacking the grain-producing areas, and there are no extra troops to expand the blockade for the time being. But even so, the situation is still not optimistic. We have too few people, less than 500 people, even if the opponent only has a small group. Riding is enough for us to drink a pot."
"Pass the word, everyone cheer up and don't lose focus in the last step!"
Just as Ning Hu was passing the order down, suddenly a faint smell of urine floated in the wind from directly in front.
Qin Feng's heart sank, and he immediately pulled the reins, and the soldiers behind him stopped in unison.
"Brother Qin, why did you stop?" After giving the order, Ning Hu trotted back to Qin Feng, his tone full of surprise.
Qin Feng did not answer in a hurry, but took a deep breath. Although the smell of urine was very light, it could not escape Qin Feng's nose.
"It smells like horse urine!"
Ning Hu, who had looked confused just now, suddenly became serious. He lifted his nose and smelled carefully, and sure enough, he could vaguely smell a filthy smell.
Two important pieces of information can be determined based on the smell of horse urine.
First, there were cavalry in front of them, a large number of them, and they stayed in place.
Secondly, the place where the cavalry passed was not far from here, no more than one mile at most, otherwise the smell would not have spread so far.
Qin Feng and Ning Hu looked at each other and understood each other tacitly. At the same time, they whispered to all the soldiers and told them to be prepared to charge and kill. At the same time, they sent a foot scout to investigate ahead.
Because the surroundings were pitch black and visibility was extremely low, and in addition to being in enemy territory, there might be an enemy cavalry nearby. Everyone, including Qin Feng, had their hearts in their throats.
"Ning Qianhu."
"Brother Qin, what are your orders?"
Qin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes showed unprecedented determination, and he had already prepared for the worst: "Please explain immediately, no matter who is separated from the main force, do not forcefully break through the border, directly Retreat to Qingyu Mountain."
In such a dark environment, once there is a battle with cavalry, the scene will be extremely chaotic. Even the most well-trained troops cannot maintain their formation. Once they are separated, trying to reunite again is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Moreover, running around like a headless fly in the enemy's territory is an act seeking death.
