Chapter 55 [VIP]
Marching and fighting, and eating are often solved by digging holes in the ground as stoves.So as long as you have the heart to count, you can use the stove to infer the number of troops.
In addition, it can also be identified by horse manure or footprints.
The Xiongnu cavalry is tough and is definitely a sharp blade on the battlefield.Rong Jue walked around to the rear just to see how many cavalry they had.
The organization in the army is very strict, and there are layers of classification. Whenever there are more individuals or fewer individuals, someone will pay attention.Therefore, the so-called "disguised and mixed in" is very difficult.What's more, Rong Jue also has only a half-knowledge of the Xiongnu language, and can only understand a few sentences. If he is asked to speak, he will definitely not be able to speak.
Therefore, it is the most cost-effective deal to grab one quietly and leave.
The back of the Huns' camp was unexpectedly easy to sneak into.
Xiaobai guided Rong Jue and led him to the stable.
Although full of doubts, Rong Jue counted quickly and came to the conclusion that there were not many Huns cavalry.
Accept it as soon as it is good, get what you want, Rong Jue chooses to retreat.Xiaobai also followed the low-flying circle and then quickly lifted into the air.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the moonlight filled the earth.Under the silvery moonlight, Rong Jue's figure was exceptionally clear.
Rong Jue's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly found a larger tent, using the shadows to avoid the patrolling guards.He raised his eyes and looked at the night sky, the sky was full of stars, and there was no sound, only Xiao Bai's figure was hovering above.
Xiaobai understands human nature, but no matter how smart he is in this situation, he doesn't know what to do. Rong Jue's heart rises in his throat, lest the night watchman look up.
——Think with your toes and know that the bird is domesticated.
He could only wait for him to go out before calling Xiaobai back.
Rong Jue was anxious, but now it was really difficult for him to bypass the guards and get out quickly.
Apart from Rong Jue, several other shadows came over.
The old scout made a quiet gesture and pointed to the big tent behind him.
This tent is not a handsome tent, and Wu Da is not in it.Rong Jue's eyes wandered, what does the old scout want to do?
A few of them quickly understood what the old scout meant, and lay down on top to eavesdrop.Rong Jue didn't understand, so he looked around vigilantly to watch out for them.
A group of Xiongnu guards passed by, the sound of soldiers' armor was clear, and the elongated shadow slowly extended to them.
Xiaobai in mid-air also noticed this situation, and leaned over to rush down.
Oops!
Rong Jue looked at the old scout, breathing heavily.The old scout gestured again to calm him down.
Rong Jue gritted his teeth and dared not move, his eyes fixed on the guards.
Any action they make now may make the Huns discover them.
"It sounds like a strange sound." A Hun guard paused, then turned to ask his companions.
The guards around looked around, and unconsciously fell on Rong Jue and the others.
Rong Jue and the others looked at each other, and hurriedly squatted down to shrink their own shadows.
A gust of wind blew, dark clouds covered the moon again, the shadow of the camp tent became blurred again, and the flags on the tent also swayed.
"Probably the wind." The guard looked at the dark night sky, and the feeling of being watched just now disappeared suddenly.
It is impossible for people to fly, it is probably their own illusion.
The few people didn't pause for long, and walked elsewhere.
Or quickly withdraw it.
Without further delay, several black shadows sneaked away from the guards again and returned to the hillside.
After everyone came out, the old scout finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After saying a few words, Rong Jue called Xiaobai down and prepared to mount his horse and go back.
The old scout looked at Xiaobai who was still energetic and excited, pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Please let Xiaobai be quiet."
He always felt that tonight was too smooth.
The old scout secretly sighed and told himself, in short, no casualties is the best result.
Xiaobai was very excited after walking around the Huns' camp. The veins on Rong Jue's forehead twitched, and he held down the thumping him: "Keep your voice down, or you will have to be locked up in a cage when you go back."
Xiao Bai turned a deaf ear, pecked Rong Jue with a sharp beak, but still wanted to go back.
This girl is not addictive, is it?
Due to Xiaobai's disobedience, Rong Jue walked very fast, causing the whole team to be slowed down.
Rong Jue had a headache and felt guilty: "Go back quickly, Xiaobai and I will be there soon."
Few people dared to move.
In the end, it was the old scout who spoke, and ordered a few people to rush back, and the rest followed Rong Jue slowly.
The ground shook, and the sound of horseshoes rattled in the distance, which was especially clear in this silent night.
Xiao Bai screamed, and flew out of Rong Jue's arms, about to return to the Huns' camp again.
Those hoofbeats came from the direction of the Huns' camp!
"Xiaobai is back!" Rong Jue couldn't care so much anymore, the dark clouds dispersed again, dust was flying in the distance, and he could see a pair of green eyes shining in the moonlight in the distance.
The old scout called out the person's name in horror: "Wuda!"
They are exposed!
For the sake of convenience, they packed lightly and did not have any weapons at hand.And Uda obviously came prepared!
"Your Highness!" the old scout roared, "Let's go!"
Now, they can't care what Xiaobai wants.
Wu Da took aim with his bow, "Whoosh—" a sharp arrow flew towards Rong Jue with the wind.
"Xiaobai!" Rong Jue opened his eyes wide and shouted, but he didn't bother to look back at it anymore, he swung his whip and drove the horse to gallop.
Xiao Bai let out a long beep, obviously both shocked and angry.
It looked back at Rong Jue, let out a mournful cry, immediately rose to avoid the rain of arrows, and then flew towards Yunguan alone.
Wu Da couldn't catch anyone, watched Rong Jue and his party go away, and heard Xiao Bai's gradually whispering, waved his hands to order, and called Jin to withdraw the troops.
===
Xiaobai arrived at Yunguan at the same time as Rong Jue.
The gate of Yunguan City opened and closed again after they entered.Xiaobai didn't need to go through the city gate, but flew directly over the city tower.
At the brightly lit Yunguan, the soldiers kept cheering to celebrate their safe return.
Rong Jue couldn't smile at all, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Bai who was staring at him coldly, full of bitterness.
One person and one bird looked at each other for a long time, finally Xie Liu noticed something strange, he turned his head and said a few words to the old scout, then looked at Rong Jue a few times, sighed and shook his head.
"Your Highness..." The old scout came over, "I..."
"It's not your fault." The wind was so strong tonight, Rong Jue couldn't help sniffling, "If you don't leave, we're all going to die, you're right."
The old scout panicked: "Don't dare, tonight is really dangerous, and I am also in a hurry..."
Rong Jue couldn't listen anymore, he said in a deep voice: "I didn't teach my bird well, I caused trouble for everyone, almost put my comrades in danger together. Tonight, it's my fault, I should be punished .”
Tonight's night scout, the old scout is Rong Jue's superior, and if Rong Jue needs to be punished, he should come.
Knowing in his heart that this has nothing to do with Rong Jue, not to mention that he has also made an effort, the old scout hesitated: "This..."
He turned his gaze to Xie Liu on the other side.
Xie Liu, who had listened to Rong Jue's words, came over and patted him on the shoulder: "You have already done meritorious deeds tonight, don't be too guilty, if you pass the attack, I will punish you to coax Xiaobai well, after it It's still useful."
After a brief celebration, Yunguan returned to silence.
"Xiaobai, can you come down?" Rong Jue raised his head and said softly, "This matter itself is your fault."
He tried to reason with it, but Xiaobai tilted his head and gave him a sideways glance, flapped his wings and left.
Rong Jue lowered his head, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Xiaobai was raised by him since he was a child, and he brought him a lot of fun when he was in Dingjing. He was smart and alert, and brought a lot of convenience to Rong Jue.In the past, when he lost his temper, he would be fine after being coaxed, but tonight, his behavior of abandoning Xiaobai really chilled him.
Now that they have fallen out, Rong Jue has nothing to do.
He tossed and turned all night and couldn't close his eyes. The lobby not far away was also brightly lit, and everyone's eyes were wide open, too excited to fall asleep.Rong Xu got the news they ventured to find, and summoned the advisers and generals overnight to formulate a battle plan.
It was worth the effort tonight!
===
Early the next morning, Rong Jue got up from the bed and habitually walked to the side of the bird rack, but he still couldn't react when he saw the empty bird rack.
Xiaobai is gone.
Rong Jue blinked and was stunned for a while.
Bai Lu walked in and couldn't help sighing when she saw such a scene.She also heard about the situation last night. His Highness chose to abandon Xiaobai for the sake of the overall situation, but Xiaobai also understood, knowing that the prince left him...
Shouldn't it be His Highness?
Bai Lu's movements stopped, and she couldn't say the words that she originally planned to comfort Rong Jue.
Forget it, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, reincarnation is orderly.A gyrfalcon can only live for more than 20 years at most, so it should be adapted in advance.Anyway, His Highness will have to face this situation sooner or later.
"What are you doing standing at the door?" After Rong Jue was stunned, he found Bai Lu standing at the door, hesitant to speak.
He glanced at the bird rack again: "I'm fine."
Bai Lu nodded, waited for him to pack his things after breakfast and was ready to leave.
"Wait a minute," Rong Jue called to stop her, "Go to the loft to see if there are any old and weak pigeons, if not, go to the dining room and ask if there is any new meat left, as long as it is meat... ...bring it to me if you have anything."
Now that the battle situation is so tense, there is no need for it.
Bai Lu didn't say anything, but just bowed her head in response.
"Forget it." Rong Jue said again, "From my meal, I don't eat meat anymore, just let them bring the raw meat directly."
In fact, even Rong Jue didn't get much meat. After Xiaobai came to Yunguan, he always went out to hunt wild food by himself. Rong Jue's little meat, he might not like it.
However, Bai Lu still responded without saying a word.
