Chapter 597: Trapped in the Enemy Camp
Zun walked in the middle of the night, and he once went to Baituo City once and knew the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But he didn't take the official road, and walked along the Xima River, which was a shortcut, and the time to reach Xima Pass could be shortened by one-third, but it was not easy to walk.
Looking at the black oppressive clouds, it was about to rain heavily, and hurriedly urged the horses forward, and after walking for a while, I faintly heard the sound of a waterwheel turning in front of me, which turned out to be a mill where people were grinding wheat.
The mill was empty, with a huge bluestone floor on the side, and seven or eight large golden haystacks, lined up.
Zun dismounted and let Cinnabar go to graze by himself, he gave Yili to Tianji, this is the sweat and blood horse offered by the Black Que Country, named Cinnabar.
Just as he was about to enter the mill to take shelter from the rain, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, so he did not enter the mill, but hurried into the large haystack to take shelter.
Immediately, I heard the Luan bell getting closer and closer, and those people galloped to the front, there were Jin Liang's language and words that Grunt didn't understand, and it was clearly Dantu language!
It turned out that the Dantu soldiers had already arrived here, and before the army arrived, the grain and grass went first.
Probably they had already surveyed the place, which was secluded and close to the water, and was an excellent supply point for grain and grass, and those people began to pack up and settle down, waiting for the grain trucks to come.
He was in the haystack, not daring to make a sound, feeling that the other party was probably no less than two hundred people, well, one might as well fall into the enemy camp.
But I can't always go out, drill out, shake the straw on my body, look up at the sky, there are still black clouds crushing the city and want to destroy it, occasionally there is lightning, and there is a faint rumbling of thunder in the distance.
From a distance, I saw that there was a light in the big mill, and the soldiers inside lit a bonfire, beeping and stunts, and the closer I got there, the more I smelled a burst of fragrance, it turned out that they were roasting and eating, and it is estimated that the cattle and sheep were snatched from somewhere, and the sound of drinking and punching, and ...... The cries of several women begging and pleading......
Intuitively, this is not a trick of the military village, but the people they captured, and this group of soldiers actually ruined the folk girls of Liudi!
Quickly came to the back of the mill, dimly saw a big jujube tree, but did not go over, quietly guarding the abandoned large grinding plate, sure enough, after a while, a soldier rushed over, stood under the tree and whistled to himself, shhhhhhh
When the man was half urinated, he covered his mouth and struck him with the back of the knife in the back of the head, and the man fell limp and fainted.
He dragged the man behind the stone millstone, took off his robe and armor, put him on, and threw him into an abandoned dry well, where it would take a long time for him to wake up and climb up.
Fortunately, the men of Dantu are taller than the men of Jin Liangguo, and it is quite appropriate to wear them, but there is a strong smell of sweat.
Wrapped in the black sword bag of the Dragon Feng Knife, he carried it on his back, and then put the scimitar unique to Dantu on his shoulder.
As soon as he had done all this, he heard someone running over, carrying a sheep's horn wind lamp, he walked over with his head down, and the other party thought he was a companion, and greeted him, and he also raised his hand to signal, and when he passed by, he took advantage of his unpreparedness, and hugged the other party violently, and twisted his neck to the side, and the man did not snort, fainted, and was thrown into the dry well by him.
Zun carried the lamp, lit firewood and grass all the way, and the fire quickly ignited by the wind.
Because the surroundings were full of sentry posts, and soldiers patrolling back and forth, the centurion relaxed his vigilance, and led the captains of the people, and the captains of the army were merry in the big mill, and a tall and mighty fellow might as well come in, and the rank of the uniform was a Dantu outpost patrol officer, with a proud expression, even if he wore an eye patch, he was still extremely handsome.
"The grain cart has arrived, and the brothers have gone to help carry it."
Everyone was stunned, they had just settled, how could the grain truck be so fast?
Moreover, it's okay if he doesn't open his mouth, as soon as he opens his mouth, he will be exposed, wearing Dantujun's clothes, speaking an authentic Jin Liang official language, everyone feels suspicious, and is about to ask, when the gong rings urgently, someone shouts at the top of his voice: Go water! Let's go to the water!
A dozen or so leaders didn't care to ask any more questions, let alone the women who were tied, grabbed their weapons, and rushed out of the mill without their lives.
The haystack is a flammable thing, and the fire borrows the wind, and the bigger it gets, even if the dragon lord borrows the water of the East China Sea at this moment, it is too late.
In an instant, a sea of fire was woven around the Great Mill.
The soldiers were in confusion for a while, and did not care about anything else, so they were the first to go to the temporary stables where the horses were tied to the horses, and brought out their horses, which were the most cherished by the cavalry, like relatives and brothers.
After riding, the centurion ordered to evacuate the place first, in case of an ambush.
The troops were evacuated in an orderly manner.
The whole mill, which was also wooden, rose up in an instant, and the smoke was so thick that there was no sight to be seen, and when he looked for the crying sound, he saw some women, with their hair disheveled and disheveled, tied to the ground, and went to cut the ropes with his knife.
The door could not get out, and they were instructed to jump out of a window at once, because there were several large water tanks under the window.
Zun was the last to go out, and he was carrying a drunken ghost on his back, and the women who escaped death were afraid that he would be burned inside.
All this was short-lived, and as the mill and a few haystacks were reduced to ashes, the soldiers would come back to extinguish the fires, re-encamp, and build a grain barn, for the place was not far from the Drinking Horse River.
With the Yuma River as the dividing line, this is already the boundary of the state and the territory of Jinliang Kingdom, so it has been going south, which is the route when Zun came, and you can reach the safe area.
A few women might as well use this Dantu soldier who saved them to be a fake Jin Liangbing, and they all said that they had met a nobleman.
But the fire was too big, and the smoke was billowing all around, and there was no way to escape.
I'm frowning, stuck! Thunder and lightning thundered again, and the heavy rain that had been held back for a long time finally began to fall.
The crowd cheered, the fire was slowly extinguished by the heavy rain, and the women found their way to flee south.
The captives on the ground were also woken up by the rain, and in fact, he was drunk at first, and then fainted by smoke.
As soon as I opened my eyes, in the rain and smoke, there was a strange big man Dantu soldier, with a dark face and blind one eye.
He spoke in a straight and round Jin Liang official language, magnetic and beautiful, lazy.
He intuitively felt that this person was not easy to provoke, so he cried and said with a sad face: "A good man spares his life!" I'm just a grain and grass escort officer under General Hua Conghu's account, Bapin, I don't know any military secrets! ”
Know what to say, or I'll kill you!
"I only heard that Princess Wei borrowed troops from Dantu to resist Jin Liang, Dantu led the troops this time is the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, Xiao Xuanque, she is a female marshal, but very powerful, three days ago she suddenly led the army to appear in the annex city north of Baituo City, saying that she was going to enter Baituo City to rest, for this, the commander Hua Guiyou was furious, and he didn't understand why Marshal Xiao Xuanque changed his route halfway, this Ximaguan battle is imminent, their Dantu army did not fight, what is there to rest."
