Martial Sage

Chapter 103: The Swordsman

Qingqi rushed, and in just one day, he left the land of Guanlong.

Guanlong is a geographical division during the Sui and Tang dynasties. One part of it is Guannei Dao, and the other part is Longyou Dao.

Go east from the Passageway and cross the Yellow River, which is the so-called Land of the Three Jins.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the land of the Three Jins has been a disputed place between the Central Plains and the nomadic clan.

Especially Datong Mansion, which has been a battleground for military strategists since the Western Zhou Dynasty, has been war-torn.

The major dynasties also sent heavy troops to guard again, with the purpose of resisting the intrusion of the nomadic clan in the north.

Even though the valiant and tyrannical Datang has sent 50,000 garrisons to take over again, this shows its strategic significance.

Tang Hao led the three hundred Qingqi on the way, but the sky cleared up two days ago, and the journey went smoothly.

Unexpectedly, when the weather suddenly changed and heavy rain poured out of Jinyang, the raiding troops had to slow down.

Standing in front of a ruined temple, Tang Hao frowned as he watched the pouring rain.

"Fortunately, this ruined temple is quite spacious and can accommodate these three hundred soldiers. It's just that two days have passed, and there are still hundreds of miles away from Datong."

If it hadn't been for this heavy rain, Datong would be reached in one day, but now everything has been disrupted by this heavy rain!

Wang Fengbai, who also stood beside Tang Hao, also had a sad face.

"Yes, I'm afraid that the official road will be muddy after the heavy rain, and this will delay the trip even more."

"If this heavy rain continues, I am afraid that within four or five days, we may not be able to reach Datong."

The spies sent to report at this moment.

"Report! Tang Xiaoqi, the road ahead is blocked, I'm afraid I can only borrow the night again tonight."

These words undoubtedly extinguished Tang Hao's hope of arriving early. He had planned to take a trip on foot, but it seemed to be a futile effort.

Tang Hao looked around, surrounded by mountains on one side and lush trees.

On the way here, I heard Wang Fengbai talk about the presence of bandits in the area, and he immediately said sternly.

"Make a fire! Beware! Watch the horses! Don't remove armour!"

With an order, the soldiers found some dry wood to start a fire in the Great Hall ascending.

Several soldiers around the fire glanced at Tang Hao at the door, and gathered together to talk in a whisper.

"Hey! Are you saying that this general is too careful? The barren mountains and ridges are raining heavily again, and no one is allowed to unload them. How can you sleep?"

"Hey! I'm still young after all, I haven't brought soldiers, and I'm much less courageous."

"I also said that there is a den of bandits in this place, but I have never said that this place is too cautious."

Of course these comments did not fall in Tang Hao's ears, even if the soldiers complained, they were just whispering whispers.

Leaning on the door rail outside the Great Hall, watching the torrential rain outside the hall, Tang Hao was in a daze while casually gnawing on the biscuits.

Military orders are like a mountain!

If it is not possible to reach Datong Mansion within the stipulated time, it will be dealt with by military law, even Tang Hao himself is no exception.

The sky gradually darkened.

A team dressed in fur clothes, leading horses, walked slowly and quietly approached the ruined temple.

This team of nearly two hundred people is physically strong and extremely strong, and all of them are armed.

The man who took the lead was a middle-aged burly man, dressed in a quilt, a hat on his head, and a heavy knife on his back.

The one-eyed dragon next to the strong man asked softly.

"Dage, I think these officers and soldiers are not many, but they are well equipped."

The strong man glared at the Cyclops and said fiercely.

"What are you afraid of? We are just grabbing some money for horses."

"What's more, now we are on our site, and we know the terrain and the wilderness, how can these soldiers think of a sneak attack?"

The Cyclops had a fierce look, and said solemnly.

"Boss, we have two hundred people now, and there are one hundred people as a support. According to the person who gave us money, this team has only three hundred officers and soldiers, if we don't work, let's..."

Speaking, the Cyclops made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The strong man slapped the head of the Cyclops and shouted in a low voice.

"Stupid, you? This Datang sergeant is brave. If we go head-to-head, we can't find the sweetness! What's more, killing the sergeant will cause a terrible disaster. If it really annoys the court, send an iron cavalry, let alone these two. Longshantou, even our little lives are gone."

The Cyclops touched his chin, frowned slightly, said.

"That's right, it's just that I don't understand this. The person who gave the money looked like someone with official background. Why do we want to deal with such a young general?"

The brawny man was so flexible that he had an answer after he pondered for a moment, said.

"This person must be afraid to do anything in Chang'an City, so he wants to use our hands to get rid of this thorn in the eye."

"If this is the case, this young player must have a bit of weight in Chang'an, and we can't kill these people."

The strong man paused for a while before drinking.

"Brothers, let's go on foot, and we will focus on robbing horses later, and we must not touch those hills as a last resort."

After all, this group of people in clothes tied the horses and quietly hid in the jungle, groping towards the hills behind the ruined temple.

Not long after, the group of people in clothes gathered around the hill on the side of the ruined temple.

In the ruined temple of Notre Dame, a few guards were patrolling the entrance of the temple. Through the broken windows of the Great Hall, a few soldiers were leaning against each other for a nap, while horses were faintly visible in a room to the west. Walk slowly.

Looking at the fat and healthy horses, the brawny man's eyes flashed with greed and screamed.

"Let the arrow!"
