Chapter 249: The Spiritual Sense of Danger
The Northern Army was marching hard, and the ground was covered with thick snow. The horses stepped on it and went straight to the bend of the leg.
Although it was not snowing, the wind was particularly strong, and the snowflakes were flying all over the sky, making people unable to open their eyes. Although the soldiers were all wrapped in thick coats, the cold could still penetrate directly into the bones.
Fortunately, Qin Guan and the others snatched a lot of supplies, and the soldiers were wearing thick fur clothes like Liao soldiers, otherwise they might have been frozen to death.
Xiong Da came over on a horse and pointed to the front and said, "There is a valley in front to block the wind. Master, why don't we camp there tonight."
"How far is it from Bei'anzhou?" Qin Guan asked.
“It’s probably 2oo miles away.”
Qin Guan said, "With this current marching marching, you will have to walk at least two days. Let's rest there tonight."
If it is on the plain, the cavalry team will arrive in less than a day, but now it is full of heavy snow, and even if there is an official road, it is very difficult to move. Generally, by this time, the locals will almost never come out to move.
This is a circular valley. When it comes to the valley, there is indeed no strong wind, which is much warmer. All the soldiers start camping and setting fires to boil water. Let the soldiers drink a sip of hot soup first.
Xiong Er was responsible for defense and sent a scout team to investigate the enemy's situation twenty miles in front, back and left and right.
Qin Guan took Han Yuqing to inspect. Many soldiers were frostbite. After returning to the camp, he called Han Yuqing to rest. Qin Guan thought about it and called the officer in charge, "Prepare a hundred buckets, I'm useful."
Soon the bucket was ready, Qin Guan took out the water hyacinth in the big tent, and started to put the spirits collected from it out.
When he was in Xijin Mansion, Qin Guan specially asked Zhao Yanshou to get thousands of jars of spirits. These things took up too much space, so Qin Guan directly took them into the water hyacinth, which is now just right for use.
Soon after, one hundred barrels of wine were loaded, Qin Guan also specially packed two barrels of tiger bone wine. These tiger bone wines rubbed the frostbite soldiers' bodies, which was very useful.
Qin Guan ordered that everyone could drink three or two of wine after dinner to warm up their bodies.
Hearing this order, there was a burst of cheers in the barracks.
You should know that drinking is strictly prohibited in the military camp. If a soldier drinks secretly, he will be beaten with twenty military sticks.
Today the general was merciful and allowed to drink alcohol, so these men were naturally very happy.
Although it is only three or three, it is a hundred times better than none.
The next morning, the team set off again and headed towards Bei'anzhou. Looking at the endless snow fields, the undulating hilly and mountainous areas in the distance were covered with snow, like white mountain buns, the sun shone over and reflected dazzling light.
On the third day, sixty miles away from Bei'anzhou, I finally found hope. Qin Guan decided that when he arrived in Bei'anzhou, he would have to take a good rest for a few days.
Riding on the horse and following the team forward, at this moment, Qin Guan suddenly felt a palpitation.
This feeling was very unreasonable and suddenly came to my mind. It seemed that there was something very bad, but he couldn't catch it.
It seems that this happened to him before.
When did it come?
By the way, it was Qin Guan who chased the traffickers of Young Lady. A master ambushed him on the big ship, and a hint of palpitations appeared in his heart, thus avoiding the fatal blow.
And this time, the feeling of palpitations was much stronger than that time.
It made him feel a heart throbbing.
Qin Guan suddenly realized that he was afraid that something bad was going to happen, or that someone was targeting him and he was in danger.
Suddenly, Qin Guan remembered that before he got the system, he had such a dangerous experience. That time he drove with people and was driving high, he suddenly had a palpitations. He thought he had a heart attack, so he chose to brake, but nothing happened after the brakes.
Then, a car accident occurred in front of me.
Qin Guan glanced around. There was a continuous area of hills. They were passing through the official road. There were hills and dense pine forests on both sides, but the pine forests were covered with snow and the original green was not visible.
Qin Guan raised his hand and said to his personal guards: "Notify the army to stop advancing."
Several personal guards immediately ran out to report the news. Soon after, the army heard a series of commands, "The commander has an order, stop moving forward." "The commander has an order, stop moving forward." After passing layers, the team quickly stopped.
Soon, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xue Mu, and Pan Liang led the troops to come over. Xiong Er asked, "Young Master, what's wrong."
Han Yuqing also looked at her husband curiously.
Qin Guan half-squinted his eyes and looked at Youyou in the distance and said, "I feel that danger is coming, so I immediately sent a scout to investigate from front to back and left to side, thirty miles, no, fifty miles."
If it were modern, some people might be disdainful of Qin Guan’s suspicion, but in ancient times, people were very superstitious, or in other words, believed that there were gods and ghosts in the world.
A general who commanded troops and fought wars felt danger in advance. There were precedents in ancient times, and this was not considered a god or monster.
Qin Guan said this, so they naturally believed it.
He immediately sent a scout out to investigate, and Xiong Da asked, "Young Master, what should we do now? Are we waiting for news here?"
Qin Guan nodded, "Wait, rest on the spot, and let the soldiers make fire and cook."
"But it's only Si Shi, and there's still some time before noon." Xiong Da said hesitantly.
Qin Guan said: "Let the soldiers eat enough, and it will be easy to deal with if there is a situation. Anyway, we don't lack a meal of food."
The team stopped to make a fire and cook, and the soldiers were also puzzled. However, being able to eat hot food was better than trekking in the snow. Since the general asked him to eat, then eat it.
Half an hour passed,
The scouts from the south and west came back, and there was no situation. The southwest was their route, so there was no possibility of a problem.
An hour passed, and no scouts from the northeast and north came back, and none of them came back. Everyone knew that something really happened.
Now people finally believe that Qin Guan’s feeling was so sensitive that he could sense danger in advance. If you want to say that this is not a miracle, what is it?
But now is not the time to think about this. Qin Guan attracted everyone to discuss how to deal with it. The result of the discussion was that he would send a vanguard army to investigate. This time he sent 5,000 people to bring heavy weapons. He would not easily fall into the ambush of the enemy. He would first find out the situation of the enemy and know how to deal with it.
Qin Guan spread out the map and began to find where the other party might hide.
Yelu Shi's face was cold. He stood on a big rock and looked at the bodies of more than a dozen scouts of Zhao State below. He knew that his ambush had ended in failure.
"I don't know how you showed up, but this time I did let you avoid it. Since that's the case, let's face it head-on."
"Look at whether you, Qin Guan, have the real ability to resist the 20,000 most elite iron cavalry army in the northern Liao Kingdom."
