The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

The cavalry refused in their hearts, but all their mounts wanted to follow the Black Wind King.

Horses are very sensitive animals, otherwise they would not be vigilant and sleep standing up all year round. Changes in the environment have a great impact on horses.

Fortunately, they are not ordinary horses, but the strongest and most valiant black wind cavalry among the six kingdoms.

They have received the most rigorous obstacle training in the military camp. This width is not difficult for them, and they can basically cross it with a run-up.

But some ponies who have just turned three years old have not been trained enough to adapt well to this complex environment.

The few ponies hauling food and grass at the end of the line hesitated. Under the repeated instructions of the horse trainer, one of the ponies finally raised its hooves.

However, it was not confident enough, and its strength was not straightforward. Only its front hoof landed on the opposite side, and its back hoof suddenly missed.

It panicked!

Black Wind King turned back, jumped into the ditch, and pushed the pony down with his head.

The little black wind riders in the back seemed to have some support, and they mustered up the courage to jump. The black wind king just guarded in the ditch and sent them over one by one.

It was not until all the little black wind riders had crossed the ditch that the black wind king came up from the ditch full of mud and thorns.

Its legs were scratched several places by thorns, Gu Jiao treated the wounds for it, and continued on the road.

The order of the march of the three major battalions is the vanguard battalion, the assault battalion and the reserve battalion. Wen Renchong belongs to the reserve battalion. He rides a horse and walks behind the team.

As he walked, he recorded the landforms and routes in the forest with a charcoal pencil.

"Hey, give me some water."

Zhao Dengfeng came to him on horseback and stretched out his hand.

"No." Wenren said without raising his head.

"You bastard!" Zhao Dengfeng glared at him, then turned to look at the cavalry on the other side, "Li Shen..."

Li Shen ignored him and rode his horse to the front.

Zhao Dengfeng gritted his teeth: "Aren't you one or two small soldiers? Are you still ignoring people?"

When Gu Jiao first wanted to reuse the three of them,

The three of them were either not in the barracks, or they weren't going back to the barracks, but now it's a good thing, they're back, starting from small soldiers.

Gu Jiao took the lead and led the way.

Master Hu and Mu Qingchen followed behind her against the scorching sun.

Gu Jiao suddenly stopped and looked around.

Mu Qingchen asked: "What are you looking for?"

"A small stream." Gu Jiao said, "There should be a small stream near here. If you go upstream along the stream, you can climb over the mountains."

After a pause, she said, "Go and catch a deer, if you want to live, don't hurt it."

It is not difficult to catch a deer, but it is very difficult to keep it from getting hurt.

Mu Qingchen was so ashamed that he finally tied a deer back.

Gu Jiao licked the salt for the deer for a while, and then let it go.

Gu Jiao patted Black Wind King's neck: "Boss, follow it."

He had to follow quietly, so as not to scare off the trail, the Black Wind King took his steps lightly, following the deer's breath from a distance, and came to a small stream not long after.

The deer is drinking water with its head down.

Gu Jiao brought the large army over and walked up the stream, picking two wild fruits or two herbs from time to time.

The whole army is waiting for the little commander to lose his way and cry.

They imagined the appearance of the small and medium-sized commander: "Ah! What to do! What to do! I can't find my way! It's over! It's dark! The wolf is coming! I'm so scared! Snake! There are poisonous snakes in the tree!"

The appearance of a certain commander they saw in reality——

Beat a fierce tiger unconscious with one punch, grab a poisonous snake as a rope, and ride the Black Wind King to disperse the wolves with a torch.

Lead them safely through the swamp and successfully bypass the miasma forest.

The most experienced soldiers do not have the ability to survive in the jungle like her.

Gu Jiao found a suitable open space near the creek, "Okay, we will camp here tonight, Cheng Fugui, Zhao Lei, and you will take turns to lead the vigil tonight."

Cheng Fugui and Zhao Lei are the left and right commanders of the Pioneer Battalion respectively.

The two clasped their hands in agreement: "Yes."

Gu Jiao said again: "Another order to go down, don't make a fire."

The two agreed again: "Yes!"

If you can’t make a fire, you can only eat cold pancakes. The temperature difference between day and night is huge in the west of Dayan, and the daytime is similar to summer. In order to prevent the food from spoiling, the cook bakes the pancakes until they are dry and hard. After a few bites, the cheeks are sour. Feeling a hard object scrape your throat when you swallow.

Everyone drank the cold stream water, along with the hard pancakes scraping their throats, no one complained, and no one wasted.

Gu Jiao sat by the stream, she ate the same as the soldiers.

It's just that the soldiers hugged each other and didn't get close to her, making her seem a little lonely.

Everyone looked at the thin and young figure, for some reason, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

...

Heifeng rode for two days and finally reached the upper reaches.

There is a wide river here, and at the end of the river is a waterfall as high as a hundred feet.

The closer to the waterfall, the narrower the river, the shallower the river, and the easier it is to cross.

However, today's river is a bit turbulent, and if one is not careful, it may be washed down by the current.

"Boss." Gu Jiao tugged on the rein, "Can you go there?"

Black Wind King took a few steps back, his whole body tensed suddenly, and he jumped into the water.

The water was not deep at this time, just below its knees, and it walked over calmly.

The rest of the Black Wind Riders also jumped into the river one after another like dumpling, and were comforted by the cavalrymen, and crossed the rushing river without any danger.

It's just that no one expected that when it was the last few horses' turn, the water suddenly became more and more turbulent, a big wave came over, and a little black horse dragging grain was washed down.

The Black Wind King rushed out, biting its rein!

The Black Wind King tried his best to withstand the turbulent river, and tried his best to pull the little Black Wind Rider up bit by bit.

Both horses landed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the life of the little black wind rider was saved, the food and grass on its back fell, and it lowered its head in frustration.

Black Wind King rubbed his wet head against it, like a silent comfort.

The army moved on.

This little episode didn't have much impact on the army, except for the little black wind cavalry.

Having lost its food and grass, it followed listlessly at the end of the team, until Gu Jiao put the herbs she picked along the way on its horse's back, and then it regained its vigor!

It took two days to go up the mountain, but much faster to go down the mountain.

It took them only one day to successfully reach the foot of the mountain.

Mu Qingchen was amazed: "It really only took three days."

Running on the road consumes a lot of energy. All the soldiers and horses are very tired, but they only have one day to rest. After tomorrow, they have to prepare to attack the city.

midnight.

The Black Wind Rider scout sent by Gu Jiao came back. At this moment, Gu Jiao was sitting under a big tree, discussing the plan of attacking the city with the six commanders, and Mu Qingchen was also there.

"Say." Gu Jiao looked at the spy and said.

The scout clasped his hands and said, "Returning to the commander, there is good news and bad news."

Gu Jiao held a branch for drawing maps in her hand, glanced at him, and said, "Let's talk about the bad ones first."

The scout said: "The bad news is that we lost three more cities, two of which were voluntarily defected to the Han family and the Nangong family, and the other city was captured by the Jin army."

Gu Jiao scratched the Yanmen Gate with a branch: "The Jin army has entered, so the Tianshan Pass has completely fallen."

The scout said sadly: "Yes."

"What's the good news?" Gu Jiao asked.

The scout said: "The good news is that there is not much food and grass in Quyang City. Two county towns are delivering food and grass to Quyang City. It is expected to arrive at the north gate and east gate of Quyang City tomorrow night."

They are worrying about how to attack Quyang City. After all, the city wall of Quyang City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, they are the cavalry first, and they do not have the chariots for the infantry to attack the city. This makes breaking the city gate from ordinary difficulty to hell level. difficulty.

The news that the scouts inquired back was indeed timely.

Cheng Fugui said: "You can rob their food and grass. Without food and grass, they can only be trapped in the city hungry. They will definitely come out to get back food and grass. That is our chance."

Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, that's the truth."

But if the food and grass arrive tomorrow night, it means that their offensive plan must be advanced.

An hour later, the scouts went to investigate the whereabouts of the grain and grass again, but what they brought back was the news that they had delivered the grain and grass overnight.

This means two signals.

One, the grain and grass in Quyang City are very urgent, and they can't last a day.

Second, they will arrive in Quyang at noon tomorrow at the latest.

The attack plan has to be advanced half a day!

This is a huge challenge for Heifengqi, who has been chasing for more than ten days in a row, especially for three days.

"How many troops is the opponent?" Gu Jiao asked.

The scout said: "It's all five thousand."

Gu Jiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that they know that the imperial army is coming, and they are on guard against someone robbing food and grass."

The 50,000 black wind cavalry she had on hand included the luggage and war horses, and the actual combat cavalry was 20,000.

The opponent has 10,000 troops, so it doesn't sound like a big problem.

The point is that stealing food and grass is only the first step, and the Nangong army that came out of the city in order to regain food and grass is the highlight.

That's an army of 80,000!

They have to fight one after another without recovering their physical strength, and with 20,000 troops against an army of nearly 100,000, this is simply hitting a stone with an egg!

The scout asked worriedly: "My lord, shall we... fight?"

Gu Jiao clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flickered: "Fight! Pass the order down, I'll have a good rest tonight, don't have to get up early tomorrow, and attack the city with me in the afternoon!"
