Chapter 341 Aware of Danger! (2)

Chapter 341

As a child of the Bai family in the capital, Bai Siling has been intelligent since she was a child, and as a daughter, she rarely has anything to worry about.

This time on the westward journey, it was actually the conflict between Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and Wang Chong. As for Bai Siling, he was able to sit on the sidelines and stay out of the matter.

But this time, Bai Siling felt deeply worried for the first time.

The trial task this time was handed over by the training camp and the court. Even if they knew there was danger ahead, they couldn't stop. And that thief in iron clothes seems to be even more difficult. Bai Siling has not found any trace of their mission until now, but they have already figured out how many of them there are.

This made Bai Siling very uneasy, and it was also the reason why she called Wang Chong over.

"Si Ling, they know how many of us there are so that it's not a big deal. There is a practice of counting people in the army. The 80 of us are all regular veterans of the Tang Dynasty, and it's the same in the army to cook. One set, the other party only needs to send people to bypass us and count how many stoves there are, it’s not a big deal.”

Wang Chong said calmly, he soon knew how the other party did it.

"What's your name?"

Wang Chong turned his head and looked at the man on the ground.

"Li Cangqi!"

The man was startled, but still stood up straight and announced his name. Li Cangqi slowly felt that the sword-browed and star-eyed man in front of him, with a jade-like face, seemed to be the real leader of this trip at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Moreover, he had clearly told him that the Iron Clothes Thieves were powerful, but the boy didn't panic at all, and even pointed out that the Iron Clothes Thieves used the method of counting people to check their number, which gave Li Cangqi a very strange feeling.

This boy seems to be different from ordinary people.

"Li Cangqi!"

Wang Chong nodded and glanced at him:

"It seems that you know the bandits and horse bandits on the westbound road very well. Let me ask you, if you were that group of bandits in iron clothes, based on your understanding, when would they act?"

"Now!"

Li Cangqi said seriously.

Wang Chong and Bai Siling glanced at each other, and their faces changed.

"You are too close to the territory of the iron-clad horse thieves, only more than a hundred miles away. With the style of the iron-clothed horse thieves in the past, they will never wait until you reach their territory before attacking, but are more accustomed to long-distance raids and proactive attacks. This can catch the officers and soldiers by surprise. From my understanding, I advise you to retreat as soon as your people are still here, before you have contact with the Iron Clothes Thieves, and everything is still too late. Otherwise, only the eighty of you are It is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Iron Clothes Thief!"

Li Cangqi said solemnly. His original intention was to remind Wang Chong and the others to hurry up, but upon hearing his rebuttal, Wang Chong's face suddenly changed.

"No, I have to inform Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and the others immediately!"

Wang Chong turned around suddenly, and rushed out like lightning without saying a word.

Li Cangqi thought that all of them were here, but Wang Chong knew that this was not the case at all. The other officers and soldiers may be a group of people going up the mountain to suppress the bandits, and another group of people waiting at the foot of the mountain, but their army is not the same at all.

Based on his understanding of Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu, they are not at the foot of the mountain at this moment. I'm afraid that just after the two of them set off, the two of them rushed out with the army and rushed to another mountain village thirty miles away.

It's only seventy miles away from the Iron Clothes Thief's territory!

If the iron-clothed horse thieves like to take the initiative to attack, it means that Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and the others are in great danger of meeting them.

"All retreat, hurry up, hurry up!"

Bai Siling also thought of something, his expression was startled, his whole body bounced off the big tiger leather chair like an electric shock, without saying a word, he followed Wang Chong and rushed out.

"Xi Yuyu!"

The war horses neighed, and the entire village was in chaos. Knowing the danger they were facing, forty Tang cavalry almost rushed out from the top of the mountain angrily, without even having time to clean up the spoils.

Smoke billowed on the official road, and a team of more than forty people rushed towards a place thirty miles away like a big dragon.

Although there were many conflicts with Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu, Wang Chong didn't want them to be killed by bandits and horse bandits because of this.

More importantly, besides Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu, there were forty loyal cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

It is a disgrace and an infamous ending for the cavalry who dedicated their lives to the Tang Dynasty to be killed by bandits and horse bandits.

In Wang Chong's previous life as a soldier, he was able to experience this kind of emotion the most, so he couldn't let this kind of thing happen.

"drive!"

The legs clamped the horse's belly, and the white-hoofed crow under the crotch also felt the master's intentions, and galloped forward with all its strength.

Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu set off very early, and with the delay of everyone on the mountain, it would take at least several hours before they arrived at the cottage thirty miles away.

For the first time, Wang Chong felt that the journey of thirty miles was so long.

"Hope it's all in time!"

Wang Chong clenched his fists secretly. Right now, he could only hope that the iron-clothed horse thief would not move so fast. It was just his own side thinking too much. Or maybe Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and them haven't met yet.

"Boom!"

A few hours later, there were still more than ten miles away from the destination. From a distance, a wave of yellow sand was seen rising into the sky. People in the yellow sand neighed on their backs and shouted. They didn't know they gathered for a while How many people, the breath is extremely chilling.

"not good!"

Seeing the burst of yellow sand soaring into the sky, Wang Chong and Bai Siling felt chills in their hearts, and the blood on their faces faded away.

"We're late!"

Bai Siling's lips trembled, her face was extremely pale. No matter how slow she reacted, she knew that the two of them were still late. Looking at the rolling yellow sand and the momentum soaring to the sky, there are more than a hundred horse thieves gathered there. If so many bandits can be gathered, it is likely to be the group of iron-clothed horse thieves that Li Cangqi mentioned.

Wang Chong's complexion at this time was not much better than hers, and he shouted and killed in the distance. With that soaring aura, Li Cangqi's evaluation of the iron-clothed horse thief was not wrong at all.

On the route between Longxi and the capital, the iron-clothed horse thief is definitely the number one.

"What do we do now?"

Bai Siling reined in the rope, turned her head, and subconsciously looked at Wang Chong who was at the side, looking bewildered.

Although she is superb in martial arts, she is also a daughter of an aristocratic family, she is well-informed, and she is rare among women with strong opinions.

But in the final analysis, it is a daughter's family after all. She has never experienced this kind of confrontation between the two armies.

Moreover, there are many people on the other side, far away, the voices of people are noisy, separated by a distance of more than ten miles, even if they are not loud enough to be close at hand, they can't even hear their words clearly.

With only forty Tang cavalry beside them, it would be very difficult to deal with these hundreds of bandits and horse bandits.

Jin, the two are definitely not rivals!

Retreat, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and the others are absolutely dead end!

Faced with this difficult choice, Bai Siling fell into a dilemma for a moment, and almost subconsciously looked at Wang Chong, hoping to rely on him.

Along the way, Wang Chong's determination, courage and determination left a deep impression on her. At this time, Bai Siling almost instinctively chose to trust Wang Chong's judgment.

There were shouts of killing in the distance, Bai Siling, and more than forty Tang cavalry, all eyes fell on him.

Everyone is waiting for their own decision.

At this moment, Wang Chong's shoulders were heavy. A familiar feeling welled up in his heart. In an instant, Wang Chong seemed to have returned to the time when he had shouldered countless expectations in his previous life.

At that time, everyone looked at him like this.

Time seemed to have stood still, only the sound of a beating heart beating like a drum was left. It seemed that countless long centuries had passed, and it seemed that there was only a flick of a finger, and Wang Chong quickly calmed down.

"Don't worry!"

Wang Chong suddenly opened his mouth and said, his voice gave people a kind of soothing power, making people calm and calm invisibly:

"There are still shouts of killing in the distance, which means that the battle is not over yet. In other words, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and the others still have hope, and things can still be done. Otherwise, we will never hear any shouts of killing when we arrive here !"

One sentence lifted the spirits of the restless people.

That's right! If the battle is over, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and the others will be dead, and no one will hear the cry of killing at all. The sound of killing meant that Xu Qian and the others were not dead yet.

This is very simple truth.

But if Wang Chong hadn't mentioned it, no one would have thought of this. At this moment, everyone looked at Wang Chong in front of them, and they were full of admiration in their hearts.

"This kid is really a born leader!"

Bai Siling looked at Wang Chong in front of her, with strange colors in her beautiful eyes. Wang Chong stabilized the morale of the army with a single sentence, he was simply a natural leader.

This made Bai Siling secretly rejoice that his decision along the way was completely correct.

"...The art of war is to know yourself and the enemy. Whether we fight or withdraw, we need to know the opponent's strength and combat effectiveness, and then we can decide what to do. If we can, we will rescue Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu. Because, we have to evacuate in time to avoid further losses. For the sake of the way, we need to avoid being emotional. I hope you understand this."

"In addition, no matter what you do for a while. I hope that everyone will obey my orders and obey my orders. You must not act arrogantly and violate military orders, understand?"

The last sentence, Wang Chong said very solemnly. There are only forty people in the crowd, and the number is far inferior to that of the other party. If you can't order and prohibit them, and unify your pace, then rushing over is just looking for a dead end.

"Yes, my lord!"

This time, without Bai Siling's order, all the Great Tang cavalry, no matter whether they were under Wang Chong's command or under Bai Siling's command, responded with a bang.

During this period of getting along, Wang Chong has already gained their respect and absolute trust through his actions.

As for the generals, although there are quite a few Great Tang cavalry here, the only one who has the ability to command is Wang Chong.
