Chapter 29 Triumph
In the next ten days or so, apart from the necessary horse training and exercise to restore the body, Ren Ning has been fulfilling his promise at other times.

He spent almost every afternoon in the Eighth Cavalry Battalion helping the cavalry to write home letters.

Even the cavalry of the eighth battalion joked with him affectionately, persuading him to transfer from the scout to the cavalry battalion.

Ren Ning chuckled, but didn't take it seriously.

The fortress is a barracks, a place with rules and regulations.

Arms can't be changed at will.Unless someone above values ​​some of the talents of the soldier, it is basically life tenure.

On this day, Ren Ning was still writing hard in the Eighth Battalion.

The line in front of him was not too long.

Fortunately, there are no special circumstances, and soldiers can't flee camps at will.Otherwise, once the soldiers of the other battalions knew that someone in the eighth battalion was helping to write family letters, they would rush in to ask for help.

If that's the case, even if Ren Ning is overpowered, he still won't be able to fulfill the promise he made at the beginning.

When it was almost evening, Ren Ning finally finished writing the home of the last soldier.

He stood up refreshed and was about to stretch.

wow.

There was a sudden commotion in the alley outside Baying.

"It's back!" Someone shouted excitedly, "The soldiers who went to the grasslands last month have returned in triumph. Everyone, go and see."

"Really? Did we win the game? Where is the team now?"

"It's true. It is said that the vanguard team will return to the fortress soon. Many people have already received the news, and this team has already gone to the head of the West City to grab a position. If we don't go, we will lose our position."

"I'm sorry, let's go quickly."

Ren Ning's spirit lifted.

He declined the retention of other soldiers from the eighth battalion, and quickly returned to the scout camp to report to Gao Deming.

Only then did he grab his identity badge, turn around and run towards the tall western city wall not far away.

At this time, the top of the city was already crowded with cheering soldiers, all of whom looked westward with smiles on their faces.

Although they did not participate in the expedition, military exploits and so on have nothing to do with them.But as long as one of his own wins, it is always a great joy.

Especially when rewarding the soldiers tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the whole fortress can have a delicious meal.

These days they ate rough rations every day, and they almost vomited.

On the top of the city, Ren Ning glanced silently in the direction of the Yuma Ying, and then forgot about it.

Relying on his nimble body, he managed to occupy a good position with a wide view, and followed the crowd to look west.

The sun was setting, and the endless grassland was still quiet at this time, with no one in sight.

But the sky farther away was filled with overwhelming smoke and dust, which already explained everything.

Less than half an hour later, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble.

On the horizon in the distance, there was suddenly a layer of murderous iron cavalry, holding up countless banners of different colors, and they rushed eastward like mountains and seas.

Whoa!
"It's the brothers who are back!"

"Welcome home!"

"Yunchui will win! Xilang, go die!"

……

The atmosphere on the top of the city is even more intense.Those with flags waved their flags, while those without flags shouted loudly.A New Year's scene.

Ren Ning took a deep breath, restraining his desire to cheer along.

He estimated the number of cavalry with his naked eyes, and smiled silently.

It seemed that Yun Chui had indeed won the battle, at least he did not lose too many cavalry and horses.

After counting the number of cavalry, he couldn't help looking behind the team.

However, the line was very long and the dust raised was very large.

The high-spirited cavalry in the lead had already returned to the foot of the fortress, receiving the cheers and shouts of the crowd.The infantry in the rear was still shrouded in thick smoke and dust, making it impossible to see what happened.

After another hour or so, the situation behind finally loomed before Ren Ning's eyes.

It was densely packed with livestock and grain.

He was not too surprised and calculated silently.

The number of large and small livestock is estimated to exceed [-].There is relatively little food and grass, but it is enough for the entire fortress to use for a long time.

What a bumper harvest.

The Yunchui Empire is known as a state of etiquette, and the court usually pays attention to etiquette first and then soldiers, and convinces people with virtue.

But this is a fortress, the Iron Blood Barracks.The matter of talking is left to the court in the rear, and the general who defends the fortress is more used to conquering people with war.

The army's westward expedition, in addition to driving away the Xiliang people, can also take away the enemy's material by the way, so naturally it will not be soft-hearted.

Not only Xiliang people are proficient in fighting to support war, but the Yanfeng Fortress also has the essence.

Soon Ren Ning's eyes flickered.

He found something strange.

There was too much smoke and dust in the rear just now, and the situation could not be seen clearly for a while.At this time, the situation was clear, and it turned out that there were many long teams mixed with the densely packed livestock behind.

When Ren Ning Dingqing saw it, he couldn't help crying and laughing.

It turned out that they were all caravans trading between Yunchui and Xiliang.

He counted the caravan signs, and there were as many as fifteen.

If some of the livestock are commodities brought back by the caravan.There are not many livestock left in the fortress.

Ren Ning's heart suddenly moved.

When there was a fire in the grassland, he inadvertently broke into the territory of the Lanmang tribe, and once lied to You Meng that he was the guard of the Gu family's caravan.

Subconsciously, Ren Ning condescended to look for it, but he didn't find the commercial flag with the word "Ancient", so he gave up.

Ren Ning didn't stay any longer.He quickly descended from the city and ran back to the scout camp.

Generally speaking, except for bandits, neither Yunchui nor Xiliang's regular army would usually attack passing caravans.

On the contrary, it is also possible for caravans to go out and do business with them when they pass by.

It was already late at this time, and the caravan could not enter the fortress, so they had to sleep outside.

In this case, the fortress will allow the soldiers to go out and trade with the caravan.

In the past ten days, Ren Ning has been helping the cavalry of the Eighth Battalion to write family letters, and has harvested a lot of useful and useless sundries.

He looked through them one by one, ready to take some out to see if he could exchange something with the caravan.

squeak!
A light came from behind.

Forward Gao Deming put on a cold face, opened the door and walked in.

"Good boy," he walked up to Ren Ning in a few steps, and patted him on the shoulder heavily, "Xiao Zuo has caught him."

Ren Ning was taken aback for a moment, but when he realized it, he was overjoyed, "It's so easy? Who is it?"

In the afternoon, when he came back from the Eighth Battalion, he asked Gao Deming to remind him of one thing.

Now most of the small soldiers in the fortress are watching the returning soldiers in triumph, and it is empty everywhere.Someone might take the opportunity to do something bad to the horses in the stud camp.

Although Gao Deming is not in charge of careful work, he has also heard about the situation in the breeding camp.

With the mind of not being afraid of ten thousand, just in case, Gao Deming reported Ren Ning's thoughts.

The breeding camp has not found any abnormalities, and the stronghold almost thought that the previous mare's tire slippage was due to the hot weather and poor care of the trough.

Hearing this at this time, even though someone had been sent to monitor the Yuma camp, he quickly sent more people to watch secretly.

Sure enough, a sneaky guy was caught, and relevant physical evidence was found on him.

"As for who it is, you don't need to know." Gao Deming snorted roughly.

He gritted his teeth, "But the fortress will definitely not forget your contribution to Ren Ning. It will be counted after a while, and it will be counted on you."

"Yes, general." Ren Ning rolled his eyes and stopped asking.

Gao Deming nodded, turned around with a gloomy back and disappeared into the curtain.

Ren Ning watched him leave thoughtfully,

Apparently, this caught spy was an unexpected person, and even Gao Deming was so angry that he lost his temper.

Maybe he knew it was not a good thing.

It's just a pity that I can't personally help Zhuifeng avenge him.
