Ice and snow.
A white hat was slightly raised, and the snow covering the hat slid down. His cold eyes stared at the war horse not far away and the yurt next to the horse.
Patrolling and reconnaissance ten miles away is not a matter of taking a quick look and then returning, but a long period of reconnaissance and vigilance.
The Wara cavalry are not iron men. They can persist for a long time in heavy snow and severe cold. If there is no yurt to shelter the wind and snow and warm the body, people who do not move much in the wilderness are likely to suffer from frostbite or even freeze to death.
Winter in Western Xinjiang is very cold.
Zhewuduo sat on the horse and moved his eyes slowly, but the heavy snow blocked his vision. No matter how hard he tried, his eyes were blurred and he could not see the distance.
Fortunately, it was very quiet in the wind and snow, and there was no sound of soldiers and horses marching, which was very reassuring.
"Zhewuduo, come inside the tent, it's really cold outside."
Ulan shouted at the top of his lungs.
Zhewuduo turned over and dismounted, clenched his fists, and frowned. Looking down, his hands were cracked with blood, but there was no blood flowing out of them. It was so cold that he almost lost consciousness. If it weren't for the pain, , almost thought he had lost his hands.
Enter the account.
Zhewuduo sat down and warmed himself by the fire, not forgetting to ask: "Let brothers be more vigilant."
Wu Lan disagreed: "It's such a cold weather and heavy snow, why worry? These Ming soldiers in Xijiang rely on the city one by one, and they are just cowering all day long. We have appeared outside the city several times, but have they done anything?" "
Asgan added a piece of horse manure and the fire became more intense: "The Ming army did not have the courage to go out to fight and lost the city. What does the Ming army do? Even if they come, it is too late for us to be happy. After running for months, there are It would be a pleasure to kill him without leaving a trace if you have the opportunity!"
Zhewuduo, who was always vigilant, did not refute these words.
You must know that the Wala cavalry galloped across the western border for more than a day or two. The only time the Ming Dynasty sergeant was dispatched was Cai Xiongying of Polo City. This was because the Wala showed a flaw, but even so, after Cai Xiongying retreated, He didn't dare to see off Wala, but huddled in the city without making any movement.
The Ming army relied too much on the city, and its ability to defend was far better than its ability to attack. There is no objection to this.
Gabia, the sentinel rider, flew across the snowy field. After looking around and seeing nothing unusual, he dismounted, took two steps in the snow, and unbuttoned his belt.
The previously flat snow melted away.
Gabia looked at the masterpiece that she had shaken and "painted", trembled, and cursed: "This damn weather requires us to patrol. The Ming army is also a human being, how could it be possible to escape at this time!"
With the belt tied on, Gabia looked up at the sky, snowflakes falling down in pieces.
The war horse moved restlessly. Gabia pulled the reins and said, "Stop making trouble, we have to stay here for half an hour."
The war horse turned its head and looked at the thing emerging from the snow. It retreated in panic, but was caught by the reins and had to neigh eagerly.
Gabia turned sideways, and just when she was about to speak, she saw a man dressed in snow standing in front of him, holding a dagger in his hand, and the dagger had already moved over!
puff!
Gabia was stunned. Before she could react, she felt something penetrate her head from her ears.
He fell heavily to the ground.
Gabia stared at the snow in front of her without closing her eyes, her body twitching slightly.
Qianhu Huoliang from the Security Bureau pulled out his dagger, piled snow over it, covered the body, then looked at the horse, ignored it, turned around and walked to the side of the snow, took out a broom-like branch and tied it to Walk with your waist behind you and your body arched.
The footprints were wiped away by a broom, and an inconspicuous snow path appeared, which would soon be covered by snowflakes.
This operation is related to the reputation of the Western Xinjiang Dusi and the reputation of the Ming Dynasty sergeants. Mahamu must not be allowed to simply leave!
The Security Bureau and the scouts jointly took charge of clearing the outposts outside Wala!
Only by completely killing these sentinels, Qu Neng’s army
Only then could he appear quietly next to the Wala army, and then attack by surprise, catching them off guard!
Huo Liang marched carefully, stopping at intervals to observe what was going on around him.
Wala's sentinels made a fatal mistake, that is, they still used a single sentinel configuration in the heavy snow, which also provided an excellent opportunity for the scouts and the security bureau to take action.
The long sword emerged from the snow and sent Sergeant Wala away who was squatting in the pit.
Arrows flew past and the cavalrymen fell off their horses.
Even if a sentinel rider heard some noise, he thought he accidentally fell down, approached him in a joke, and died biting his throat...
The killing in the snowfield!
No one can easily guard against it. No one knows where the Ming army is. It could be anywhere in the snow, even right next to the cavalry.
Hidden, blending into the snow.
The approaching sound is not as loud as the wind and snow. Only the desperate cry of dying people can cover up the sound of the nearby wind and snow and stop within a few dozen steps.
Hassen noticed something appeared in the snow. He dismounted, drew his sword and approached slowly. He saw that it was dressed in Wala clothes, but his face was facing the snow. It seemed that he had been dead for a long time, but there was no blood around him, so he stepped forward and turned over the body. come over.
"Corpse" looked at Hassen who was close at hand. His pale and stiff face suddenly grinned, and the arrow in his hand was inserted into Hassen's neck.
Scout Zhang Tiehe rubbed his face and found that he was unconscious. Knowing that he was suffering from frostbite, he didn't mind. He took off Wala's clothes, found the snow clothes, buried Hasen in the snow, and then headed in the other direction. Keep exploring.
Above the snowfield, death roams.
Zhewuduo seemed to hear something. He raised his head in the tent, frowned and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Ulan, Asgan and others shook their heads.
The curtain opened and Alatancang walked in: "A rabbit just ran past, and the brothers went to chase it."
Zhewuduo's face darkened: "Our mission is reconnaissance and patrolling. We don't give the Ming army any opportunity to take advantage of it. How can we let a rabbit run away?"
Wulan's mouth was almost drooling and he quickly said, "Where is this rabbit running to?"
Alatancang saw Ulan's eyes and said: "Towards the southeast, don't worry, chasing rabbits will not delay the patrol."
Asgan was also a little excited.
It’s not a pleasant life. Although horse meat is passable, the taste is still much worse than beef, mutton, and rabbit meat. Besides, after eating only horse meat for half a month, who wouldn’t be happy to have a change of taste?
Five cavalry chase rabbits and run in the snowy field!
Suddenly, a war horse seemed to be tripped by something, and the whole person fell off the horse. Fortunately, it was snow, so he did not fall to death. Looking back, he saw a dead man's head revealed, and he was stunned. Next, he shouted eagerly: "No!"
