Chapter 79 South of Jinshan

There were more than 600 cavalrymen in total, and after asking the general manager Cheng Zhijie to get the warrant, they immediately left the camp.

Having experienced chasing the Turkic Wolf Guards last time, the scout camp was familiar with it.

Ashin Daozhen, An Wensheng and Lou Shide's horse and Su Dawei were in the front.

Facing the towering Jinshan Mountain in front of him, An Wensheng sighed: "The Jinshan Mountains are like moats. If it weren't for this mountain being separated, we would have had direct conflict with the Turks long ago."

Ashinadaozhen interjected: "It's not that easy for them to come with this mountain. If they ride a horse and walk around, they won't be able to get through it for more than half a month. If they cross the mountain, it will be difficult for the horse to walk on the mountain road."

Su Dawei smiled bitterly: "No need to remind me, I know it's troublesome to take a horse to cross the mountain."

"We small groups of people are fine yet. We walk slowly and are not easily noticed by the Turks. If there are too many people, it will not work."

Asuna said, "By the way, we have to leave some supply points in the mountains to prepare for emergencies."

"Okay, you can arrange this."

"Zhao Hu'er, come here."

Asunadaozhen turned her head and shouted loudly into the team.

Su Dawei followed his voice and looked back. Compared to the last time, the team's size has expanded ten times.

More than 500 people and more than 600 horses were running all the way, which was still quite spectacular.

It’s a pity that just as the first one said, it’s not easy to cross a mountain.

After going up the mountain, there are many terrain that can only be dismounted and led.

Jinshan is the Altai Mountains in later generations.

The entire mountain range runs northwest to southeast, spanning the borders of later Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia and other countries, extending more than 2,000 kilometers.

The peak that Su Dawei and his friends are facing now is more than 500 kilometers long, with a low altitude of one thousand meters and a high of more than 3,000 meters.

Such a high mountain, although it is already in spring, is still covered with snow on those peaks and does not melt all year round.

The last time Su Dawei led the scout team of Asuna Daozhen and others came, because of the task of pursuing Asuna Shabi, time was tight and he didn't have to take a closer look.

This mission was not that urgent, but it made him observe the landform of Mount Altai.

The mountain peaks in front of us are round and moraines are spread on the hillside.

This kind of stone is a soil and rock block on both sides of the glacier and the riverbed, and moves downwards with gravel, and accumulates into blocky soil slopes.

There is no grass growing on the moraine stone, and it has all kinds of strange shapes.

Seeing that Su Dawei was fascinated by the sight, An Wensheng said, "Are you interested in this kind of rock? Don't worry, there are many in front."

"No, I just think that this kind of gravel may collapse more easily, right?"

"Haha." An Wensheng laughed twice, and suddenly remembered that Su Dawei had experienced an avalanche last time. He thought for a while and said, "These ice stones have been formed in countless years. We should be careful. We may encounter many glaciers in advance, so we should be careful in that environment."

Swish!

Suddenly I heard a sound of a bowstring.

A rider in the team shot an arrow, and an arrow shot out, hitting a snow-white rabbit.

"Good arrow!"

Someone in the team cheered.

Su Dawei opened his eyes and saw that it was Wang Xiaojie in the team.

He rode his horse and came out to the snow rabbit who was caught in the arrow. He leaned over, grabbed the rabbit in his hand, held it high and whistled towards the team, laughed and laughed.

“You can add food tonight!”

Wang Xiaojie's arrow technique is like a god. He can actually recognize a rabbit at a glance and hit it with one arrow.

Su Dawei estimated in his mind that the distance was about 60 meters.

He asked himself that he couldn't shoot so easily.

Ashi's Tao really came to Su Dawei's side, patted the horse's head lightly and said enthusiastically to Su Dawei: "Ami, how are you practicing your arrows? Why don't I give you some advice when you rest in a while?"

Su Dawei looked at him, showed a charming smile on his face, and said a word from his teeth: "Get out!"

This evil thief, whoever pot doesn’t open will be held, which pot is not open.

Su Dawei is very skilled and is good at using crossbows, but there is only one thing, once he replaces with a bow, he loses his accuracy completely.

It's okay on the flat ground, and it's scattered to the size of a person.

If you ride on the horse, you can't see it at all.

This incident made him feel uneasy and a little depressed.

The team moved forward for about twenty miles and stopped to rest.

Climbing a mountain is no longer as tiring as flat ground. Not only are people tired, but horses are even more tiring.

Let the horse rest appropriately and maintain the physical strength of the person and the horse is also to deal with various emergencies.

I stopped and stopped all the way, and the sun sets westward in a blink of an eye.

Su Dawei looked back and looked behind him, and along the rugged ridge of strange rocks, the more than 500 cavalry he brought out this time scattered two miles away in the mountain road, dragging it into a long distance.

An Wensheng said on the side: "Ami, you can send someone to the scout in front of you to find a suitable place to camp and prepare for rest."

"Um."

The Yue cavalry, with more than 500 people, was divided into three teams, except for the three team leaders, Lou Shide was a commander in command.

Su Dawei also had Ashina Daozhen and more than fifty scouts in his hands.

When the team was moving forward, more than twenty cavalry were released in front and behind each, and spread them for several miles to serve as the eyes and ears of the team to ensure the safety of the team.

If it is on the plains and ground, the scouts will release at least twenty miles.

But in this ridge, it is naturally impossible to do the same as usual.

It was getting darker.

The bonfire is rising.

The scout has searched nearby and judged it to be safe.

The entire team found a piece of open space in the forest and settled down.

With more people, we can no longer hide in the cave like last time. Fortunately, there are many trees on the mountain.

Cut out the open space in the forest, install fences and antlers, dig deep trenches, camp according to the marching method, arrange rotations and secret whistles, and everyone can finally relax the tense nerves of the day.

When the bonfire was rising, the copper cauldron was burning on the firewood, and the ice and snow were melting.

The soldiers sprinkled dry food and some jerky meat in it.

Su Dawei took a look and found that the so-called dry food includes millet, and some capsules and cakes.

It's a bit like the mutton soup bun in later generations.

The capsule cake can be kept for a long time if it is dry and hard. When you want to eat it, break it a little bit and put it in a pot, cook it together with water. You can add some wild vegetables, meat, and fungi as you like. In a blink of an eye, it will become a big pot of fragrant soup.

During the marching process, the Tang army had no seasonings, except for some sauce, but rough salt.

The soldiers sitting around the bonfire made a chattering sound.

If you are on the road for a day, you can relax only at this time.

Su Dawei greeted An Wensheng, walked over with Lou Shide and Ashina Daozhen one by one, stopped from time to time, greeted the soldiers, and said a few words.

Although he could not be like a famous general in ancient times, he was at least familiar with everyone in his team.

Only when you really fight can you accurately command them.

It is still safe in Jinshan. When we leave the mountain, we will welcome this Tang army with unpredictable grasslands and the elusive Turkic wolf cavalry.

Half an hour had passed when I returned to my bonfire and sat down.

Before Su Dawei's butt was hot, he saw a thin Tang Jun walking towards him with a bowl of steaming broth in both hands.

He stretched out his hands halfway, and suddenly saw the other person's eyes, and his hands immediately froze in the air.

The little Tang army's eyes were black, like two gems, showing agility.

His face was painted with black gray, and it was obvious that it was painted on purpose to cover up his face.

this……

Su Dawei's face changed drastically. He grabbed the other person's wrist and pulled it to his side and shouted in a low voice: "Xiao Su, what are you doing?!"

Who else could this little Tang army be if it weren’t Nie Su?

"Brother, I want to be with you. Now that I'm here, you won't let me go back alone, right?"

Nie Su was a little guilty, his mouth moved slightly, and his voice was timid.

"Haha, you are so capable that you can actually get into my team. Didn't I ask you to stay in the camp with the Taoist priest?"

Su Dawei's eyes flashed, and he locked in Ashi's Daozhen, who was hunched over and acted in a sneaky manner, shouted angrily: "Daozhen, come here for me!"

Nie Su was not familiar with Lou Shide's Yueqi Camp, so he naturally couldn't get involved.

The only possibility is through Asina Taoism.

After taking a few steps forward, he grabbed Ashi's awkward Taoist, and Su Dawei suppressed his anger: "You are so brave. You dare to bring your private person into the team. Do you know how dangerous our operation this time?"

When you go deep behind enemy lines, everyone will be enemies.

Anyone who is careless will be submerged in the Turkic cavalry and may not even be able to hide the waves.

"Know...know."

"I know you dare to do this?" Su Dawei's eyes showed a scary light, and his tone was a little stern: "Daozhen, do you really think I won't punish you?"

"Brother!"

Nie Su was frightened. She had never seen such a look on Su Dawei's face. She held Su Dawei's arm from the side and whispered: "I asked Brother Daozhen to help me. If you want to blame me, blame me. Don't blame Brother Daozhen."

"you……"

Su Dawei almost burst into flames in his eyes. He glared at Nie Su fiercely: "How can we play in the army? Let's stand aside."

As he said that, he shook Nie Su's arm away.

In the distance, Lou Shide, Wang Xiaojie, An Wensheng and others seemed to have noticed the abnormality here and looked around frequently.

Su Dawei stretched out his hand, hooked Ashi's real neck, dragged him to the corner of the camp, and whispered to Nie Su: "Come here too."

"Listen, this time we are going to reconnaissance behind enemy lines. We can fight at any time, not a joke, nor do we travel around the mountains and rivers... Xiao Su, don't think I really can't punish you. If I were cruel, I could drive you back now. Anyway, there is a supply house left by Zhao Hu'er on the way."

"Brother!" Nie Su's face turned pale, and he was obviously scared.

Su Dawei glanced at her, and a hint of anger flashed across his face: "Forget it, I won't drive you away now, but there is one thing, if you are in the army, I won't treat you as my sister, but ask you like other soldiers, do you understand?"

"clear!"

Nie Su's eyes flashed, and there was joy.

Ashi, who was standing beside him, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"As for you, Daozhen, don't be too happy too early."

Su Dawei sneered: "Don't tell Xiao Su's things in advance, but... if there is an accident and others know about her, then you will take the blame."

"ah?"

Ashi was really stunned for a moment. After understanding Su Dawei's meaning, the flying expression on his face instantly collapsed.
