Chapter 157: Little Pig Run

The night wind in northern Xinjiang is very hard!

For Lu Shizhi, who has been accustomed to the graceful style of Sishui County, although he has lived in northern Xinjiang for a long time, he is still not used to it.

The horse was leisurely gnawing on the banks of the Dusitu River. Lu Shizhi lay on the grass, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and felt a sense of homesickness. From childhood to adulthood, he grew up with the love and care of his family. Even though he later left home and served in Lou Cang, he became a regular soldier. But in fact, he still lived a carefree life under the protection of his family.

In the eighteen years, except for this time, the farthest place he has been to is the East China Sea.

However, at that time, Liu Kan took care of him all the way and did not give him too much responsibility or pressure. But this time, he had to take responsibility. The twenty cavalrymen under his command acted as scouts, which was the first time in his life.

Scout!

This is equivalent to an encounter that will face to face with the enemy.

Lu Shizhi is a very lazy person by nature. He admires Liu Kan, but it does not mean that he wants to become a person like Liu Kan.

When so many people's lives are placed on one person, that person must be very tired.

Lu Shizhi bit the grass root and started to do it. He looked at his companions who were holding weapons not far away, leaning against the tree trunk and resting with his eyes closed. He sighed softly in his heart. Only these twenty people would have exhausted me to death. If there were more, I would probably not be able to do it well.

It’s better to follow Brother Kan!

"Black man!"

Lu Shizhi called out softly. The closest scout to him opened his eyes, "Lu Tou, why didn't you rest... Haha, if you can't have a good rest, you won't be a qualified scout. At that time, Junhou will not spare you."

Heifu is a tiger song knight who followed Mengji.

Although Huqu was abolished, Monk still transferred the best soldiers under his command to Mengji.

It's not just to sell well, but I just hope that Liu Kan can make a fuss and give Meng Ji some care. This black husband is also a battle-hardened person. He stood out from more than 100 cavalrymen and became a scout, which is enough to show his personal ability.

Lu Shizhi leaned over and said, "I can't sleep, I'll talk to you... Heifu, where are you from!"

"Qishan!"

"Oh?" Lu Shizhi said: "Isn't Qishan the place where King Wen of Zhou made his fortune?"

Heifu smiled proudly, "It's not just Zhou Gong! Qishan is also the place where my Great Qin dragons prosper. My ancestors had six generations, although the ancestors fought, by my generation, it was already the seventh generation... Now, when my Great Qin unified the world, it will definitely reappear the prosperous era of that year."

In that tone, there was a sense of pride that needed no concealment.

Lu Shizhi couldn't help but ask, "Seven generations serve the Qin Dynasty? Then why didn't you stay in Xianyang but come to this desolate border county to serve as soldiers?"

"Where can you get military achievements after staying in Xianyang?"

Heifu whispered: "My ancestors all used their six generations to seize military merits with one hand. By the time my grandfather's generation, my family had already had hereditary fourth-class civilian titles. I didn't need to serve, but if I didn't serve, how could I seize military merits and glorify my ancestors? Although the border counties are deserted, there are countless opportunities to seize military merits. Hehe, I have calculated that as long as I kill ten more soldiers, I can become the first title. At that time, my family will get a few hectares of fertile land and build some houses... I can also ask for a woman."

In the eyes of the old Qin people, there seems to be nothing else in this world, something they care more about than seizing military merits.

Unlike the custom of "good men do not join the army" in later generations, in this era, becoming a soldier means being able to stand out and glorify the family.

Not to mention that after gaining military merit, others will have different opinions on you.

But just the rewards given by the country are enough to make every old Qin man go to war and harvest his life madly.

To be honest, it is difficult for Lu Shizhi to understand Heifu's idea.

It's already deep in the night...

A few night birds suddenly emerged from the reed marsh by the river. Immediately after the rushing sound of horse hooves, two war horses galloped in like lightning.

"Lu Tou, we discovered the Huns!"

All the scouts stood up, and Lu Shizhi was shocked and asked quickly: "Where are the Huns?"

"According to this, there are about 3,000 people in Wushui, fifty miles away, and they seem to be vanguards. All of them are running towards this side."

Heifu frowned, "That is to say, before dawn, they will cross the Dusitu River?"

"At the latest hour of Yin, you will definitely arrive."

It is about a hundred miles from Dusitu River to Baitugang. If the Huns advanced at this speed, they would arrive at Baitugang before noon.

Lu Shizhi couldn't help panic!

"Then we... rush back to Baitugang as soon as possible and inform the military marquis!"

But the black man grabbed Lu Shizhi's arm, "Lu Tou, we can't all go. In this case, the military marquis only has two hours to prepare, and it must be very hasty. The only way to delay the pace of these Huns is to just delay the pace of these Huns, as long as one of them returns."

Lu Shizhi was stunned at first, and then said, "If so, Heifu, go back, I will take someone here to delay."

Blackfu smiled, revealing a slightly yellowed teeth. He looked at the others around him, and everyone smiled and nodded at him.

After years of romance, what do you think?

Blackfu could tell from a simple smile.

"Lu Tou, this sentence is enough with you!" Heifu said, taking the bow arrow from Lu Shizhi's waist and patting his shoulder, "But you are too far away when fighting. If you stay, there is no use except for dying, so you should leave earlier."

"But……"

"Lu Tou, don't be it anymore. You can rush to Baitugang immediately. We can delay as long as we can here.

If you go back a moment earlier, Junhou will have more time to prepare."

Twenty people vs. 3,000 people, and there is no need to guess the result. Lu Shizhi looked at these old Qin people in a daze, but found that there was no fear of death on their faces. On the contrary, it was an excitement and a passion. Lu Shizhi rarely saw this strange emotion. When Liu Kan and Zhong Limei went to rescue the child, they seemed to have such expressions, but they were definitely not as enthusiastic as Heifu and the others.

I also knew in my heart that Heifu was telling the truth.

Lu Shizhi nodded slightly, took a step forward suddenly, and hugged Heifu hard, "I know, your name is Heifu, you are from Qishan!"

After saying that, he turned around and bowed to everyone, whipped the horse and rushed away.

Heifu and others watched Lu Shizhi leave, and twenty people took a deep breath and cheered up.

"Brothers, let's prepare too... I'm going to teach those Hu Manzi a lesson. If anyone doesn't kill him one or two dozen, he will have to pay the book."

"No matter how much you have to kill one or two hundred of him, no matter how you want to kill one or two hundred of him!"

Heifu and others said and laughed. Everyone got on their horses and marched north along the Dusitu River. If the Huns wanted to cross the Dusitu River, there was only one way. As long as they could seize that road first, they could stop the Huns from advancing.

The place name is Rabbit River Valley, which is connected to the Great River.

The river channel of the big river suddenly became narrow here, and the river water was also particularly turbid, with extremely turbulent water flowing, and the sound was like a roaring beast.

Twenty riders were divided into two rows, stuck on the path.

Heifu and others tied their legs with their belts and tied them tightly to the horse. Although this could not have much effect, it could have more or less a fixed body effect. The Huns often used this method to maintain their bodies and horses when riding and shooting. Heifu and others had fought with the Donghu people and the Huns in the border counties, so they also learned this method.

It was about to dawn, and the neighing sound of war horses in the distance turned out to be.

The sound of thousands of troops galloping through the silence of dawn.

The earth, under the iron hooves, trembled gently, and the river in the distance became louder and louder.

The Huns are here!

The shadows were coming, and Heifu and others had already seen the figure of the Huns. The cheeks twitched slightly, and he took off his hard bow, suddenly urged the war horse, shouting sternly: "Brothers, follow me to charge!"

Lu Shizhi also understood that the interception of Heifu and his friends would not be very obvious.

At most half an hour...

But being able to spend half an hour is very precious to Baitugang. No matter what, they cannot be killed in vain.

Lu Shizhi kept whipping the war horse, and the horse under his crotch ran as if he was going crazy.

Pig, run, run!

Faster, faster...

It was already dawn, and Dusituhe had been left behind. Lu Shizhi understood very well that at this time, Heifu and the others were already in danger. The more this happened, the more anxious he became. He wished he could put his wings on his ribs and flew to Baitugang to report to Liu Kan.

Inexplicable sadness surged in my heart.

In fact, at this time, Lu Shizhi did not understand what the purpose of the old Qin people's spirit of looking at death was?

Born in the Six Kingdoms and raised in the Six Kingdoms. Although the six kingdoms no longer existed in the era when Lu Shizhi lived, Lu Shizhi had no good feelings for the old Qin people. Is it because the Qin law is strict? Of course not... Although the Qin law is strict, it has little influence on Lu Shizhi. The reason why he has no good feelings for the old Qin people is because of the rumors that have been circulating for hundreds of years.

The tyrannical Qin is cruel, the old Qin people are vicious!

Even though he lives among ordinary people, Lu Shizhi was greatly influenced by these words.

However, as he grew up day by day, some rumors were self-defeating. But if you say that you have a deep understanding, it was still this trip to northern Xinjiang.

Lu Shizhi truly saw the goodness of the old Qin people and realized the spirit of the old Qin people to "go to the national crisis together". This spirit cannot be felt in the six countries. The so-called "despise of the old Qin people" is just a superficial one.

It's not like Lao Qin, which is engraved in his bones.

In fact, what can happen even if the Qin Dynasty destroys the six kingdoms? Everyone lives well and eats well, and it will be fine soon? Are those who oppose Qin for the sake of the people or to satisfy their selfish desires? Lu Shizhi couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

In the distance, the shadow of Baitugang was already vaguely visible.

Lu Shizhi urged the horse again, but he didn't want the war horse to scream. Xi Yuyu's front hooves softened and fell to the ground in a flash.

Running wildly overnight, although Lu Shizhi's war horse was good, it was an ordinary horse after all. He continued to speed up and ran wildly, and he reached his limit.

Lu Shizhi was dizzy when he was thrown, but his heart still echoed with the explanation of Heifu when he was leaving.

"I will make more preparations when notifying Junhou as soon as possible!"

"The Huns are here...The Huns are here...I quickly notify the military marquis that I am Lu Shizhi, and I am Lu Shizhi!"
