Chapter 53: Rescue
As Wu Kai said, Fufeng County has suffered a great disaster this time, needless to say the villages outside the pass, and almost all the villages between the 50-mile distance between Curie Pass and Fufeng County have suffered disasters. As of today, they have been in the customs for two days.
"My lord, they are menacing this time, unlike before, they just looted property and food, they also robbed people, men, women, children, everything, the slightest resistance, it is a knife down, right now, on the road leading to the outside of these villages, there are all our people who are escorted!" Zheng Xiaoyang cried bitterly, "The villain is useless, when the enemy horse came, there were only twenty brothers around, and in the past two days, more than a dozen have gathered, and the rest of the brothers are no longer known for life and death. The villain does not dare to attack the opponent. It's not that the villain is afraid of death, it's really the little manpower in the villain's hands, and it won't help at all except to send him to death!"
"How many people are here from Donghu?" Gao Yuan interjected and asked.
Zheng Xiaoyang looked at the heroic Gao Hong beside Lu Hong, the corners of his eyes jumped, and in a blink of an eye, he already figured out who this person was: "Gao Bing Cao, the Donghu people have about three or four hundred horsemen, coming and going like the wind, the first few villages are all wiped out, even if some villages close to Fufeng got the news, they only escaped some young people, and the others were taken captive."
"Three or four hundred horsemen!" Gao Yuan's heart twitched, if it was three or four hundred horses, with Fufeng's current strength, he really couldn't deal with it. My heart jumped, and I suddenly remembered something, "Zheng Bingcao, how is it in Xiawa Village?"
"Xiawa Village is gone, Xiawa, Shangwa These villages are right on the middle line, how can these Donghu people let go?" Zheng Xiaoyang shook his head and said: "But it seems that the Donghu people have ended here, and when I came back, I found that the Donghu people had begun to retreat."
Gao Yang suddenly turned around and strode towards the city.
"Gao Yuan, where are you going?" Lu Hong shouted.
"Uncle!" Gao Yuanhuo turned around, "My three subordinates happened to go to Xiawa Village yesterday, I have to pick them up."
“zhanzhu!” Lu Hong said angrily: "Now there are cavalry of the Donghu people outside, you don't want to die!"
"Zheng Bingcao has already said just now, these Donghu people have begun to retreat."
"Gao Bing Cao, although they are retreating, they are going one by one, maybe there is still that group of cavalry still looting!" Zheng Xiaoyang interjected.
"I don't care much, they're my brothers, and now they're in danger outside, and I have to go and fetch them back."
"Maybe something happened to them at this point, and if they don't die, they will come back on their own." Lu Hongdao.
"Uncle, I'm going to bring back their bodies, but I'm sure these brothers are still alive, they're in good shape, maybe they're just stuck there at this point, and they need our rescue. I'm looking forward to the rescue!"
"Don't go, you are the first team of soldiers, and the Donghu people may go and return at any time. How can you leave your post without permission? All the soldiers in the first team are not allowed to go."
"Uncle, they are my brothers, whether they are still alive or not, if I don't go, I will have trouble in this life, they are sent out by me." Gao Yuan was not afraid of Lu Hong's anger at all, "Sun Xiao, come here!"
"Bingcao, what are your orders?"
"In my absence, you are in charge of the first team."
"Bing Cao, I'm going to save Lao Cao with you!" Sun Xiao puffed up his chest. Loudly.
Gao Yuan's eyes swept over him, and Sun Xiao retracted immediately, "The villain obeys the order of the soldier!"
"Infantry, Yan Haibo, you two will go out of the city with me to pick up Lao Cao!" Gao Yuan nodded the names of the two and strode away. Yan Haibo and the infantry responded loudly, took a step out of the queue, and didn't look at the other people present, and followed Gao Yuan. This scene made Lu Hong, Wu Kai and the others' eyes jump wildly.
After a while, Wu Kai turned his head and looked at Lu Hong, "Master Lu, Gao Yuan values love and righteousness, he is a man!"
"What a man, I don't know how important it is, my brain is hot, I am impulsive and reckless, and I can't become any atmosphere!" Lu Hong said angrily.
Wu Kai turned his head, smiled slightly, and did not make a sound, but he thought in his heart that Gao Yuan had gone to the first team for less than two months, and he had polished this team of rotten soldiers into such a team of elite soldiers, and no one listened to him except for his words, even Lu Hong couldn't stop calling, Lao Lu actually said that he couldn't become an atmosphere, if such a person couldn't become an atmosphere, who could become an atmosphere? Lao Lu has watched Gao Yuan grow up since he was a child, and he was blinded by family affection.
There were only two horses left in the team, and Gao Yuan honestly and unceremoniously brought the war horse given to Lu Hong, and the three of them got on their horses and went out of the city, all the way to Xiawa Village.
Gao Yuan's heart was anxious, the war horse was flying, the mud was flying, and after a while, it disappeared from the field of vision of everyone in the city.
Bypassing the South Mountain, running forward for a few miles, presenting a miserable scene in front of Gao Yuan and others, the villages along the way have become broken and stump, and the dead bodies that have fallen to the ground can be seen everywhere, except for these, it is the silence of death, even a living person can not be seen, occasionally I see one or two dogs, also with their tails between them, hiding in the corner of the wall and shivering.
"Bing Cao, Cao Dutou and they only have three people, but they are afraid, they are only afraid that there will be more evil and less auspicious." Yan Haibo caught up with Gao Yuan and drove alongside him.
"They all have horses, they can't beat them, they can't escape!" Gao Yuan said, "I'm afraid that Lao Cao will see that the village is ruined and fight hard with the opponent, then it's over." This is also what he is worried about, if Cao Tiancheng wants to escape, the three of them will still be able to escape with horses. In the past two months, Cao Tiancheng has become his important partner, and the last thing Gao Yuan wants to see is that when he zaijian arrives at him, he has turned into a cold dead corpse.
"Look, Hyocao!" Yan Haibo suddenly shouted, not far in front of them, there was a stream, next to the stream, there was a large water mill, and on the edge of the water mill, there were more than a dozen war horses, and more than a dozen Donghu people were surrounding the water mill, shouting loudly.
"It must be Lao Cao!" Gao Yuan shouted, smashed the war horse, and galloped forward, "Infantry, arrows!" Running wildly and screaming loudly.
Without saying a word, the infantry took off their longbows and wound their arrows, and the three of them rushed towards the watermill like three bolts of lightning.
The sound of the horse's hooves obviously also startled the Donghu people in the return of the water mill, and they first looked back in surprise, and when they saw the navy blue Dayan soldier costumes on the three people on the war horses, they immediately shouted and hurried to their war horses.
"Gao Bing Cao, it's Gao Bing Cao!" In the water mill, on the blades of the water wheel that were about ten meters long, a person shouted in surprise, "Gao Bing Cao is here to save us!"
The people trapped in this water mill are none other than Cao Tiancheng and two other soldiers. Cao Tiancheng was shocked, regardless of the dissuasion of the other two soldiers, and rushed all the way to Xiangxiawa Village, but when they returned there, there was nothing left in the entire Xiawa Village, let alone people, not even dogs.
At this time, around them, there were Donghu people everywhere, and the two soldiers finally dissuaded the sad and angry Cao Tiancheng, and the three of them hid all the way east to Tibet, and fled to the county seat under the cover of night.
But this time, they stabbed the hornet's nest, when even if there were more than a dozen Donghu people chasing after them, fortunately, at this time, the Donghu people's brigade had already evacuated with their booty, and there were very few Donghu people left behind. Otherwise, the two of them will not be able to escape even if they have wings.
The three of them are far inferior to the Donghu people, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with the Donghu people, several Donghu cavalry even made a big bend and ran to the front to block themselves, Cao Tiancheng and the three of them had no way out, fortunately there was a water mill not far from them, and the three of them fled here, abandoned their horses and entered the water mill, they understood that if it was a horse war, the three of them didn't even have a chance.
Escaped into the water mill, the Donghu people also followed after them, they were very bold, although on the enemy's territory, but in the past two days he plundered, they did not see a Dayan soldier to come to block, Curie Pass where the enemy stationed an army was so frightened that they didn't even dare to take their heads, just lit the wolf smoke on the pass, but such a big snowy day, how high the wolf smoke can rise is a problem.
They didn't take the Yan people in their eyes at all, and they didn't believe that there would be a big Yan people who would dare to stop them.
These three men killed their companions, and they decided to take these three back alive and humiliate them before killing them slowly, killing them with one sword, apparently cheapening them.
Cao Tiancheng and the three of them relied on the water mill to deal with the opponent, knowing that they were invincible, they could only hold on, Zuihou's hope was that someone would come to save them, otherwise with their ability, they would be captured by the enemy sooner or later.
It was also their fate, and the idea that the Donghu people wanted to capture them alive gave them precious time to delay, so that Gao Yuan rushed over. Donghu people heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, at first they thought it was their partner who was left behind, and when they saw the color of the clothes on the opposite person, they reacted and wanted to ride on their horses in a panic to fight, but Gao Yuan and the three of them ran like arrows from the string, but there was still time, the infantry rode on horses, opened their bows and arrows, and the sound of swishing sounded endlessly, and the first arrow shot down a Donghu man who wanted to shoot back with a bow, although the other two arrows missed, but they scared the other Donghu people to jump, and when they dodged and dodged, Gao Yuan was already in the lead, Rushed over.
