Borrow the day to change the day

No one expected to be attacked suddenly, no one was prepared, and the target of the mount was obvious, and all of them were hit by arrows.

All of a sudden, people turned their backs on their backs, and the five thieves on horseback were caught off guard, and all fell forward together with the horse and rolled down the hillside.

It was done easily, Hu Hao and others unhurriedly called up their war horses and chased after them.

Guo Yanzhong left the team and headed towards the top of the slope, in case there were troops behind the bandits.

The five thieves fell hard enough. When they were running downhill at high speed, their mounts were hit by arrows. Two of them fell directly to death, two were seriously injured and one was slightly injured.Only two of their war horses could neigh in death.

The slightly injured thief was still in a daze, but he was caught by Wang Er who rushed over, cut back and tied his hands.

The two seriously injured thieves who were moaning in pain on the ground were sent on the road overnight, which was considered a merit.

It wasn't until this moment that the thief saw clearly who his opponent was.Upon seeing it, he was very surprised, and stammered: "Guan, Guan Ningjun?"

As soon as Hu Hao heard the thief's voice, he knew that he was the captain's subordinate. [

Hu Hao was a little surprised that this person recognized Guan Ningjun's military uniform, so he couldn't help asking: "It seems that you were also a member of the army, so you don't need to waste your words, and you know what will happen if you fall into our hands. Point, I ask you to answer, less pain."

The man didn't answer right away, looking at the companions who came together, none of them survived, his eyes were a little confused.

"Who is your captain, which group of gangsters you belong to, and where are you now?" Hu Hao drew a knife in his hand, and slapped the gangster's face with the side of the knife, waking him up, and asked after looking at himself.

The thief was a little surprised why the Ming army would not accept him at night, so he would ask his captain. He looked at Hu Hao with an indifferent face, and knew that this man was a murderer. Wang Gao Yingxiang's mountain."

"Where are you now?" Seeing that he had missed a question, Hu Hao asked again. The knife in his hand only pressed slightly, but did not cut his skin.

If the Tartars had fallen into his hands, it would have been the punishment measure of cutting off ears and fingers.This person is also from the army, so Hu Hao had more patience.

The thief felt the coldness of the blade, and quickly added: "I'm crossing the river, it's less than ten miles ahead."

"How many people?" Hu Hao hurriedly asked after hearing this.

"There are about 5000 people, from several hills. We are the first to cross the river, and most of them are still crossing the river at this time." The thief has already said something, so naturally he will not keep the rest of the news. And said it.

When Hu Hao heard it, the opportunity was rare, but the news still requires verification.

He skillfully drew the knife across a beautiful arc, inserted it into the scabbard, and then called: "Wang Er."

"Yes, Brother Hu." Wang Er watched Hu Hao's interrogation from the side, and when Hu Hao called him, he immediately responded.

"You take this person back to see Zhongxing Hou and explain the content of his confession. This is a rare opportunity. Please Zhongxing Hou make a decision as soon as possible." Hu Hao knew that Wang Er had heard all the content of his interrogation, so he briefly explained the task.

"Yes, Brother Hu." Wang Er agreed, got on his horse, and with the help of his companions, he laid the thief on the horse's back, and with a sound of "drive", clamped the horse's belly, and drove back on the way.

Hu Hao looked at his subordinates all looking at him, without saying a word, took cotton cloth from a package on the horse's back, and tied the four horseshoes of his horse. [

The other Ye Bu Shou people looked at it and knew that Brother Hu was going to be close to reconnaissance. In order to reduce the sound of horses' hooves, they used cotton cloth.

So, they also took out their cotton cloths one after another and began to tie them up.For those who do not collect at night, these cotton cloths for reducing the sound of horseshoes are one of the must-haves.

When Hu Hao and the others reached the top of the hill, Guo Yanzhong also tied cotton cloths to his horses and waited for them to pass.

Fifteen war horses descended the slope and headed towards the Yellow River.Although there is still the sound of horseshoes, it is not very loud. If you go a little further, you can't hear it.

After about five miles, he stopped all night and was on standby immediately.

The other fourteen riders still headed towards the Yellow River, and no other thieves were found along the way.

At regular intervals, one Ye Bu Shou stayed, and when Hu Hao and the others saw the Yellow River, there were only eleven Ye Bu Shou left.

They found a small high ground, lay down there, and looked towards the noisy place.

Because of the drought, the water level of the Yellow River has also dropped a lot, exposing a wide depression. A few hundred steps away from them, there is a pontoon bridge, which is about as wide as a large cart.

The thief did not lie, a large group of thieves were indeed crossing the river.The pontoon bridge is full of people, only a few people ride horses, and they lead the horses when crossing the bridge.

Most of the people carried all kinds of soft goods on their shoulders and squeezed on the pontoon in an orderly manner.If it weren't for the fact that they were still holding weapons such as spears and swords, at first glance they would have thought that these were just refugees.

Hu Hao saw that more than 2000 people had come to the side of the Yellow River, and on the other side of the river, there were still dense crowds rushing to squeeze onto the pontoon bridge.All estimated, there should be no less than [-] people.

At this time, Guo Yanzhong, who has better eyesight, laughed in a low voice: "This group of thieves actually have sharpened wood as a gun. Look at that man over there, the knife in his hand is broken." , still in use, haha..."

Hu Hao turned his head and glanced at him, and immediately told him to shut up, and then Hu Hao ordered: "Since you have seen clearly, go back and report the military situation here to Hou Zhongxing."

As soon as Guo Yanzhong heard Hu Hao say something serious, he quickly changed his serious attitude and answered "yes".Then he crouched down and took a few steps back, stood up at a place by the Yellow River that he couldn't see, and rode away on horseback.

Hu Hao carefully observed the unexpected bandits, paying special attention to those riding horses.Because these horsemen must be the bandit leaders, or their elite.

He found that most of the thieves who had crossed the river were thieves with horses, and they were resting by the Yellow River at this time, waiting for other thieves to cross the river.And there are very few thieves with horses on the opposite side.

These thieves who had crossed the river were divided into several piles, and it was obvious that they belonged to different hills.

Among the group of people, there was a man with a Chinese face who said to a tall middle-aged man: "Uncle, there is no news about the five riders sent by Zijinliang earlier, and my nephew has had enough rest anyway. Go and have a look."

"You, you've committed the cowardice again. Since you're going by yourself, I won't stop you. Go." The middle-aged man looked at his nephew and said a little helplessly.

A refined man next to the middle-aged man said at this time: "King Chuang, I think your nephew is in our line of business, so be careful."

"Hehe, Cao Cao, don't talk nonsense." The person called "Chuang Wang" is Gao Yingxiang, and he can't tell if Luo Ru is praising his nephew or scolding his nephew. After complaining, he ignores him and still treats himself The nephew said: "Hongji, be careful yourself, go."

Li Hongji agreed and went to call his subordinates.

In the original history, Li Hongji hadn't defected to his uncle at this time, and worked under Buniini's men, but because of Zhong Jinwei's butterfly effect, many things have changed.

Hu Hao on the small high ground suddenly saw Liuqi leaving the brigade and coming along the official road.He couldn't help cursing inwardly, and quickly called his subordinates to lean back and lead the horse around to the other side of the small highland.

The Liuqi who came over did not find Hu Hao and the others, and walked away.

But there is still a night not to accept in the way of origin, and will be bumped into by these people.Therefore, Hu Haonai had no choice but to leave one person to continue monitoring, and led the other nine to follow Yebu.

Besides, Zhong Jinwei and the others just came out of the town where they rested, and after walking less than two miles, they heard the sound of horseshoes in front of them.

Zhong Jinwei and the others stopped talking, looked ahead, and found that Ma Xianglin, who was originally walking in the front of the team, and Ye Bushou, one of Hu Hao's subordinates, were galloping fast.

After getting closer, he found that there was a man with his hands folded lying on the back of the horse that never stopped at night. Zhong Jinwei was startled, knowing that something had happened.
