Chapter 527

It rained continuously for three days. On the third day, the rain stopped.

"Wine worship Lord!" Xue Rengui only felt cold. The firearm supervisor had stopped here for three days. Now I'm afraid the army is approaching Lanzhou city! "

Other officers and men are also hundreds of cavalry officers and men. They can't help being restless. If they hadn't seen Merton as stable as Mount Tai, they would have been unable to sit still.

Merton looked at the gradually clear sky and couldn't wait to say, "hurry up."

"Yes!" Xue Rengui immediately received an amnesty and hurriedly asked hundreds of riding soldiers to put on their carriages and dismantle the camp.

"Send it out immediately and leave the camp here. Naturally, someone will help us close it. There will be a new camp in Lanzhou." Merton saw that the soldiers began to close the camp and stopped it immediately. This is not the time to care about these small things.

Hearing the speech, the soldiers immediately put down their items and immediately turned over and mounted their horses.

"Drive!"

The firearm supervisor's convoy set out immediately.

The firearm supervisor had just left, and the officers and men arranged by Su dingfang had already been waiting there. They immediately went forward to dismantle the camp, loaded the carriage, and then set out.

At the moment, the firearms supervisor is either a cavalry or a carriage. The whole army is very fast. In less than an hour, it has walked 50 miles.

"General, the chariots and horses can't hold up." Xue Rengui said with worry when he saw that the chariots and horses have been tired and the marching speed has decreased a lot.

Merton took a breath, took out the map from his arms, looked at it and said, "don't worry, move on, there is support ahead."

Sure enough, just a few miles ahead, the firearms prison saw a huge concentration of civilian men.

"Mohou! General Su ordered us to wait here." just as the firearm supervisor approached, a school captain reported.

"There's general lausu," Merton asked, looking at the captain with a sigh of relief. "Are the horses I want ready?"

The captain nodded and said, "don't worry, Mo Hou. A total of 100 good horses have been repaired for more than three hours."

Merton immediately waved his hand and said, "put on all new horses and start immediately after trimming for a quarter of an hour."

A quarter of an hour later, the firearm supervisor set off again. Although these horses were not as good as hundreds of war horses, they had enough rest. Immediately, the marching speed of the firearm supervisor increased again, and immediately flew west towards the straight brick road and the last ray of sunshine of the sunset.

"It's getting dark!" Xue Rengui looked at the setting sun in the west, and his heart sank.

As the last ray of sunlight was blocked, the whole earth fell into darkness and stars appeared in the sky.

"Lord sacrifice, it's the end of the month today. There's no moonlight at all. You can't go at all." Xue Rengui hurried his horse to Merton.

If it is a full moon, they can still take advantage of the moonlight to go. Now their eyes are black, how can they go.

"Light the lantern!" Merton said, gritting his teeth.

Xue Rengui was surprised and said, "don't sacrifice wine. It's full of gunpowder. If you accidentally get out of the water, the consequences will be unimaginable."

I don't know whether the power of gunpowder has restrained hundreds of horses, or the fire prevention awareness of the firearm supervisor is really good. Now the firearm supervisor has a feeling that the fire has changed.

Merton gritted his teeth and said, "first light up the lanterns of this wine offering carriage and open the way ahead. Each carriage is ten steps away. In front of each carriage, there is a hundred riding soldiers holding lanterns to guide the carriage. Every other hour, a group of soldiers will rotate to this wine offering carriage to rest."

Xue Rengui reluctantly nodded. Up to now, it's the only way.

"Hoo!"

A lantern ignited, and then the whole team formed a long dragon of lanterns. Taking advantage of the weak light of lanterns and the new rotation of horses were used to driving at night, the firearms supervisor was able to move forward again, but the speed was much slower.

There was nothing to say all night except the sound of cars and horses.

At dawn, the western expedition army had already begun to bury the pot for cooking. With the help of his own soldiers, Li Jing put on his armor and inspected the whole camp.

The heavy rain did not stop the pace of the western expedition army. With the convenience of brick roads, the army still maintained the speed of traveling hundreds of miles a day. According to this speed, the western expedition army can reach Lanzhou this evening at most.

"Where is the firearm supervisor now?" Li Jing asked.

"I inform you, general. According to the report from the spy horse last night, the firearm supervisor just set out yesterday when the rain stopped." a soldier asked.

"Just started!" Li Jing's face sank. If Merton really lost his time, it would be difficult. The army doesn't care so many reasons. If only he lost his time and was on time, there are not so many excuses.

"General! Do you want to wait for the firearm supervisor!" the soldier hesitated. When the firearm supervisor was in the Xishan Valley, he didn't send less meat to the right guard. The soldiers of the right guard had a good impression of the firearm supervisor.

Li Jing shook her head and said, "a military order is a military order. You can't delay it for a moment. Pass the order on. The whole army will start immediately after eating in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes!" the soldier answered, and immediately turned to give orders.

When the news that the whole army started again spread throughout the army, many people with intentions immediately burst into an uproar.

Qin Huaiyu looked at each other and became worried. Naturally, they knew that the heavy rain had just stopped. In this way, it would be difficult for the firearms supervisor to catch up with the western expedition.

"Master Qin, my master..." Mo Wuyi said anxiously to Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "don't worry, brother Mo will arrive on time when he has let us down."

"No hair on the mouth, no firm work!" Hou Junji sneered when he heard the order of the army to continue to set out. He was not surprised by the order. Li Jing was a Veteran General in the army. Naturally, he knew how to do it. How could he delay the whole army's journey because of a Mohist.

"Either the firearm prison is out of date, or the firearm prison starts out in the rain. At that time, the gunpowder fails, and you Mozi can't escape the relationship." Hou Junji snorted coldly. At the same time, he secretly kept in mind that the rain is the enemy of gunpowder.

The western expedition army continued to move forward. Cheng Yaojin walked to the last side of the left leading guard. He couldn't help looking back all the way, but he still couldn't see the shadow of the firearm supervisor.

"Where is the army?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

The soldier company on one side hurriedly said, "go back to general, there are ten miles to Lanzhou city."

"Ten miles!" Cheng Yaojin's heart sank and he couldn't help sighing. It seems that Merton has already committed the crime of missing the deadline when he first went to war. Even if he narrowly escaped Li Jing, his career will be ruined.

Cheng Yaojin shakes his head and suddenly sweeps the rest of the light. He sees a long carriage team on the brick road behind him. In front of the team, the red armor is unforgettable.

"I've caught up!" Cheng Yaojin rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After reconfirmation, he suddenly shouted: "hurry, report to the Chinese Army immediately. The firearms supervisor has caught up as promised."

"Yes!" Cheng Yaojin's soldiers immediately galloped away.

After a while, the news that the firearm supervisor caught up spread throughout the western expedition army. Suddenly, there were bursts of cheers from the whole army. They felt proud of the legendary experience that the firearm supervisor was still able to catch up after a three-day pause.

In the firearm prison, Merton was riding a slow horse. His shadow had long been handed over to the soldiers of Su dingfang in the rear. Seeing the team of Mohist children in front, he was elated and said proudly: "there were so many arithmetic problems in this wine offering year. It was in vain."
