After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 3 Horse Riding
"Ahem..." The shooter who fell on the shaft of the car struggled to get up, and what he saw when he looked up was such a scene, he almost suspected that he was in a dream.

Peng Ji and the others had already turned back, and the eyes of everyone were both excited and embarrassed, and there was also a bit of awe.

When he was running away just now, he heard the sound of someone turning his chariot upside down from behind, only to realize that Mengdi defeated a team of chariots with one bow and one bow.

"Brother Meng, we..."

"I know, there is no need to say too much, let's see how the lord is injured."

"Well, ahem, Lord Dou's subordinate, Mo Cheng, has seen this one, this one..."

"Mengdi, apprentice."

"Ah? Disciple!"

Although I had already guessed from the robe, it was still shocking.

"This bow is yours, right? It's pretty good, but it's too soft." He said and threw the longbow over.

"Too soft?" Mo Cheng's mind was filled with confusion. This bow was passed down from his father, and it is considered one of the strongest bows in the army. How could it be too soft?

Mo Cheng thought about it, and decided to call him by everyone's address. "Brother Meng, brothers, I wonder which general you are under?"

Meng Di waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this, Wu Jun will be back soon. Xiao Wu went to the front to have a look, Gan Ying carried General Mo to the woods, and the others followed me."

None of the soldiers who fell to the ground was completely dead, they were all stabbed to the heart one by one with a halberd. There is no mercy on the battlefield.

They found two long spears, two wooden bows, a large bundle of arrows, and several bronze swords.The weapons of the Wu army are slightly different from those of the Chu army. The car on the right holds a Ge saber, while the Chu army holds a halberd.

In Mengdi's view, the halberd has sharp edges on both sides, and the end can be used as a spear, which is more useful than a Ge.But Wu Jun's copper sword was shining coldly and extremely sharp, so it must have a great advantage in melee combat.

The most gratifying thing is that they actually harvested three intact horses, perhaps because they have been trained for a long time and are very docile.

When they returned to the woods, everyone had joy on their faces. After hiding for so many days, they finally let out a bad breath.The important thing is that I have found my own people, and I finally don't have to go around in circles in the mountains anymore.

Mo Cheng has regained his senses, he was just knocked on the shaft and passed out.

When he learned that Meng Di and others were subordinates of General Wu Hei, he opened his mouth in surprise.

It turned out that Mo Cheng was appointed by Dr. Douxin to meet Wu Hei. Unexpectedly, he encountered Wu Jun on the way. Mo Cheng only brought a few chariots with him.Yuzhe and Cheyou fell to their deaths directly. I was lucky and only broke a few bones.

"So, you are the only one left in General Wu Hei's team?"

"That's right, Wu Jun is heading south all the way, probably heading towards Ying."

"How is it possible? Wu Jun is still in Cai Guo."

"Hmph, Brother Meng is right, we saw it with our own eyes."

Mo Cheng stood up fiercely, endured the pain, and said loudly: "This matter is serious, we must report it to Master Douxin immediately!"

"Where is Master Douxin's camp?"

"We walked for two days when we came here, and then we were chased by Wu Jun. We lost our way a long time ago, and now we can't distinguish things even more." Mo Cheng smiled wryly.

"Is that so." Meng Di fell into deep thought, and no one dared disturb him, and Mo Cheng could only watch eagerly.

Judging from the battle just now, Wu Jun's shooters had a very close range, otherwise he wouldn't have given himself a chance to shoot and kill them one by one.Moreover, the chariot looked ferocious, but in fact it was clumsy, unable to change direction easily, and the soldiers on the chariot could easily become living targets.

"Which of you can ride a horse?"

To Mengdi's surprise, except for Gan Ying and Zhong Ying, everyone else can ride a horse.Mo Cheng was also amazed that there are many rivers in Chu, and there are many good swimmers, but not many who can ride horses.However, when I thought that among these apprentices, there was a monster that could fight against the chariot with one person, I was relieved. People of a feather flock together, and things divide into groups.

It turns out that Little Wu and Little Liu were originally hunters who fled from Zhongtiao Mountain. They lived there mixed with the Rong people, and they knew how to ride horses since they were young.When Peng Ji was a child, when his family was still in the middle, he also learned riding and archery, but he was not very proficient.Zhao Tian was a groom, so it was not surprising that he knew how to ride a horse, but Li only said that he had ridden when he was in business, and didn't give much explanation.

"Okay, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu will ride together, bring bows and arrows, and follow me to seize the horse. The rest of you are here to practice, and General Mo pays attention to recuperating."

Seizing the horse was a good idea, and everyone immediately became excited.But if I hadn't seen Mengdi's archery skills, I wouldn't dare to mention it even if I thought about it.

As for why Mengdi can also ride a horse, this question has long been ignored by everyone. They just think in their hearts that the big man is really a magical place.

"Brother Meng, please call me Mo Chengcheng. I have fought with the Wu army for many years, and I know that the Wu army has only started to use chariots in recent years. The real powerful is the pawns. Unlike our Chu country, the Wu army's pawns can form an army alone, and the weapons are excellent. , powerful combat power."

Saying that, he took out the longbow from behind, and carefully brushed off the grass clippings on the handle.

"Brother Meng, please take this longbow with you. You must be careful when you go!"

"Okay, Brother Mo, don't worry." Meng Di took it, tied the quiver around his waist, and jumped on the horse.

Just like when I first got the bow and arrow, as soon as I sat on the horse, there was a feeling of integration.Without using the rein, the horse kicked lightly with its heels, and the horse raised its head and neighed, and rushed out happily.

Little five and little six brothers are much more clumsy. Although they knew it since childhood, they still took a lot of effort to adapt.Thanks to his agility, he struggled for a while before running crookedly.

Everyone stared dumbfounded. After a long time, Peng Ji sighed softly: "It's true that the capable can do anything."

The horse galloped down the hillside, suddenly felt the vastness of the world, and Meng Di looked up to the sky and roared endlessly.I have been in this world for so long, and now I feel comfortable physically and mentally.

After waiting quietly for a while, let the horse chew the grass roots for a while. It is early winter, and the grass roots on the ground are gradually withering and yellowing, but the horse still eats with relish.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu also followed, and their movements were much more proficient than at the beginning.

"Brother Meng, are we going to find Wu Jun?"

Facing Xiaowu Xiaoliu's admiring eyes, Meng Di smiled slightly, "That's right, let's test you, how did you find Wu Jun?"

"This..." Xiao Wu scratched his scalp, not knowing how to answer.

Xiaoliu was smarter, and rushed to say: "Follow Brother Meng, Brother Meng will definitely find it."

"What a coincidence!" Mengdi raised his face, "Have you forgotten how to check the ruts and grass stems on the road?"

"That's right." Xiao Liu stuck out his tongue, and Xiao Wu also understood. "And horse droppings and rub marks on tree trunks."

"Very good, let's talk about finding the barracks."

Half a day later, the three of them rode two horses on a small mountain peak, looking at the huge camp below.The tents are like clouds, one after another, extending into the distance.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu had never observed a military camp so closely, and couldn't help but be speechless. There must be tens of millions of people, right?

"Brother Meng, shall we just rush down like this?"

"What are you thinking, just rush down like this, there won't be a single bone left."

The two got into an argument, and Mengdi smiled and remained silent.

In the end, there was really no way to argue, so they all looked at Mengdi with their eyes.

"Brother Meng, what do you say?"

"Wait"

"Wait?"

"Yes, wait for the scouts to come out."
