Chapter 136: Life and Death Entrustment
Outside Lianyun City, the boundary between Southern Xinjiang and the Moon Dynasty, Duan Qingyan, who was still dressed in black, was covered with a simple golden helmet and armor, riding a dark tall horse to guard the red gauze chariot, followed by a dowry and servants who meandered for ten miles.
As soon as the smoke and dust approached, after the sound of horses' hooves, more than 200 elite cavalry teams lined up in turn, and a huge 'Xue' flag fluttered in the silver iron armor of Yishui, which formed a sharp contrast with the black eyes of the southern Xinjiang team.
Xue An, the main general of the bright armor at the front, stepped forward immediately, stopped in front of the red gauze chariot, and hugged his wrist and shouted, "Certain, Xue An, the general of Zhenyuan, is ordered to come to meet the main car of the Firmament County!" ”
Xue An twisted his eyebrows and looked at the other party without answering, but he felt the stern gaze of the man with the golden helmet, how did this feel that he was going to do something?
After pausing for a moment, he repeated in a loud voice, "Certain, Zhenyuan General Xue An, I am ordered to come to meet the Lord of the Sky County!" ”
It seemed that this call had just been heard on the chariot, and a cold voice sounded, "Father take care, daughter is gone!" ”
Oh?
This is Duan Qingyan, the famous martial king of southern Xinjiang?
No wonder this situation is like this, it is said that this prince loves this county lord very much!
The golden-helmeted man lowered his head and whispered a few words through the gauze curtain beside the chariot before he glanced at Xue An on the opposite side, "If my daughter makes any mistakes, Duan Qingyan will lead troops to sweep every corner of the Moon Dynasty!" ”
Xue An lowered his eyelids, his face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be disturbed by these words, "A certain person will escort the county lord into Beijing safely!" As for the rest, it is not within his ability to agree casually.
He has always admired this famous general in southern Xinjiang in his heart, and now seeing that he cherishes his daughter so much, it is no wonder that he can be as famous as his father as 'North and South Liangsanlang'!
"If you need it, come back!"
Duan Qingyan glanced coldly at the man opposite, turned around and said a soft explanation to the red gauze chariot, and then retreated with the black-clothed horse of Southern Xinjiang.
Xue An glanced at the black-clothed young man who was driving, his body was thin, his face was cold and immature, he just wanted to speak, but he didn't expect the young man to suddenly lift the rope and whip him, "Drive!" ”
Ten BMWs roared out in unison and rushed out first.
Belch!
Xue An, whose face was full of black lines, finally understood that people were not worried about marrying and suffering, but they were not willing to marry at all!
Holding his fist at the golden-armored man in the distance, with a wave of his big hand, more than two hundred silver-armored cavalry quickly divided into two columns, protecting the two sides of the long convoy and slowly pulling out.
It's a pity that the team hasn't left for half an hour, and the centurion of the two teams chased after him, and Xue An found a major problem, why is the marriage team so long?
He had already observed the other party's team before, only the carriage with some valuable materials in front of him, and the rest were all ox carts, looking at the heavy grain and grass on it, it was estimated that it was the supply of the Martial King, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Who would have thought that the dozen or so expensive carriages in front of them were just people's daily necessities, and the real dowry of this county lord turned out to be the grain and grass on the hundreds of ox carts behind!
Is this because you are afraid that you will starve to death in Hongcheng?
With so much grain and grass, you can eat for several lifetimes, right?
The point is, dozens of cars of dowry are good to escort, how to escort these hundreds of cars of grain and grass? No one has informed themselves that they have to protect so much food and grass, right?
Suddenly very happy, fortunately, the battle of the three places is over, and those cavalry barbarians in the north have also retreated to the north, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be eyeing these grains and grass, he only brought a total of two hundred people out, I don't know whether to die here, or die here!
However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if!
Xue An didn't want to make trouble, so he immediately ordered, "Hurry up and march, the carriages and horses don't stop!" Take my order flag, immediately go to the nearest Ningcheng to find the Taishou, and borrow 1,000 officers and soldiers to defend the city! ”
The two centurions glanced at each other, the worry in their eyes, "Yes! ”
One of them plucked up the courage to remind, "Just, where is the county lord?" ”
Xue An's eyes flashed, and he remembered the quiet and indifferent voice, "Go ahead, I'll discuss it over there with the county lord!" ”
The two of them are also capable subordinates, and they immediately carried out the horse.
There were ten horses in the red gauze chariot, and the speed was really not slow, Xue Antima chased after him, and cautiously followed the car and asked, "County Lord, I didn't know that the county lord had brought so many dowries and the escorts he brought were limited, can you march for a few days first and wait for reinforcements?" ”
"Good!"
Xue An, who was ready for the scene of messing around, unexpectedly heard a word, that's it?
"Thank you for your forgiveness!"
The horses' hooves trampled on it, and there was no sound in the chariots.
It's a little surprising that this county lord is so easy to talk to, and there is no inconsistency at all. During the next three days, except for the occasional request for convenient parking, even the meal was solved in the carriage, right? Because Xue An occasionally saw a white hand hand hand out some food to the young man who was driving, it seemed that the two had a very close relationship and did not shy away from it!
It's just that this continuous march, if the cavalry is okay, but it is very difficult to escort grain, grass and valuable materials, just after the third day, there are cavalry one after another, and the cattle and horses can't stand it. These were pack cart animals transporting goods, and they could not be compared to the war horses under their crotches.
Xue An had to let the team stop and rectify, but there was no shop in front of the village here, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he let the team center and surrounded all the baggage.
After a rare night's rest, all the slaves who accompanied the marriage hurriedly got out of the car, fed the horses and cattle, buried the pot and lit the fire, and fetched water and cooked quickly.
Because the county lord of the sky is a bride, it is inconvenient to contact outsiders like Xue An, so he took the red hijab every time, and it was convenient to be supported by Xi Po, and then hid back in the car.
The young man who was driving went to get some hot water and food and brought it to the car, and then he stayed outside the carriage.
The night was dark, everyone slept on the spot, it was really a three-day rush, and they couldn't even doze off, and they couldn't bear it anymore when they were full!
The fire was still there, lighting up the night sky, and more than 100 soldiers had become accustomed to this life of not sleeping for several days, patrolling back and forth.
The night was quiet, Xue An rubbed his tired forehead, his eyes were also blue and kept watch all night, and at this moment Tianming was a little relieved.
While it was time for everyone to make breakfast, he closed his eyes and took a nap on his horse.
Suddenly, a piercing arrow roared, "There is an enemy attack!" As soon as a voice started, it was cut off halfway!
Xue An opened his eyes intuitively, holding a spear in his hand, and the reflex of his body leaned forward, raised his gun to pull away the arrows that came one after another, and went straight to the red gauze chariot.
"Protect the county lord!"
This is the most important thing, those burdens can be there again, if something happens to the county lord, he can imagine the war that is about to arise!
Not every general is looking forward to war, because it is always the people who suffer!
All the soldiers who received the order quickly moved towards the red gauze chariot, but there were too many arrows outside, and by the time they protected the chariot, there were less than 100 people left.
Xue An looked at the rain of arrows that came one after another, there was a trace of despair in his eyes, and he drank at the chariot, "The county lord quickly abandon the car and change horses!" ”
"I'll wait to escort the county lord all the way out!"
"Good!"
A calm answer accompanied by a fiery red figure appeared outside the chariot, and the black-clothed young man who unloaded the horse rode on the horse.
Xue An praised the woman's courage in his heart, "Protect the county lord, become four teams, and the silver ten team will be broken!" ”
From Lianyun City to the north, it was supposed to be a five-day trip to Ningcheng, but they marched for three days, much faster than the normal speed, and at this time, they might be able to get rescue or enter the city directly before noon!
And when the team runs, the arrows can't reach!
It's a pity that a large number of cavalry appeared behind them, and these people didn't want to let them go to Ningcheng, so they chased after them!
The closer he got to Ning Cheng, the more hesitant Xue An's heart became, it shouldn't be! Obviously, he had already sent a general flag for help, and it was said that they should have come up to the rescue team after three days of walking! But until now, they have not met a single person, not to mention, seeing that they are about to reach the front of the city, and there are a large number of cavalry openly following behind them, are they not taboo at all that there will be officers and soldiers defending the city?
Obviously, these people are not taboo, and when Xue An and the others arrived in front of the gate of Ning City, they finally understood that something was wrong here. The gates of the city should have been opened to let the people in and out, but the gates here were tightly closed, and crossbows were erected against them, warning them not to approach.
The arrows kept falling in front of the horse, and they were too far away to even have a chance to explain, and the pursuers behind him were pressing forward step by step, Xue An glanced at Ning Chengtou coldly, turned the horse's head, "Go!" (To be continued.) )
