In order not to cause trouble, Guo Yang and others finally decided to send a small number of people to secretly receive the princess and send them back to the capital as quickly as possible, and the main force continued to go north to complete the established training tasks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the end, the result of the discussion was that Li Feiyu and Zhang Erniu were responsible for picking up the princess, while Guo Yang led the soldiers and horses to continue training north.

An ironclad command vehicle, together with three transport vehicles, quickly ran in the direction of Queshan, and first joined the ten ironclad artillery cars where they stayed, and then, under the guidance of Li Ya'er, made a detour and went straight to the princess's hiding place.

In order to prevent people from following, the ironclad command car drove very fast, and the cavalry could not catch up, and in addition, the two ironclad artillery cars that followed behind blocked the road, and the followers could not cross it at all.

"Lvshuai Zhang, there are people following behind, and it's already very close."

Zhang Erniu was in charge of the back of the hall, and when he saw that someone was following him on horseback, he ordered: "Turn the muzzle of the cannon, open the cannon immediately, and block them." ”

"Boom"

A loud bang startled the horses behind them and knocked the rider to the ground.

Several riders had no choice but to give up tracking, throw away their horses, and run back on foot to report the situation.

After the ironclad command vehicle approached Queshan, the huge roar immediately made Li Hanlu and his party vigilant and immediately checked the situation.

"Sister, the eldest brother really sent someone to pick us up, let the princess come over, let's get in the car and return to the capital."

Li Yaer got out of the car and found everyone's hiding place.

Li Hanlu nodded, took his subordinates and the two princesses to board the ironclad command vehicle, and immediately went straight to the camp of the first team at the foot of Queshan along the nearest road, and after meeting with the first team, he led all the vehicles to leave Queshan and return to the vicinity of Xingzhou City, dozens of miles away, to join the main force.

When the princess was taken to the camp in Xingzhou City, it was already dark, but in order to prevent long nights and dreams, Guo Yang immediately allocated two ironclad command vehicles, five ironclad artillery cars and twenty transport vehicles, and used normal mobilization as a cover to let this team quickly reach the north bank of the Yellow River crossing, and immediately after crossing the river, go to the capital.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Guo Yang asked the princess and her group of eight to wear the costumes of the soldiers of the ironclad artillery brigade to disguise the soldiers of the city ironclad artillery brigade, so that it was not easy to attract attention.

Zhang Erniu led an ironclad command car and two ironclad artillery trucks to open the road at the front, followed by the ironclad command car in which the princess was riding, then twenty transport vehicles, and at the back were three ironclad artillery cars behind the palace.

Due to the moon is more powerful, the visibility at night is still very good, for this reason, the whole team is not slow at night, and a short stop in the middle is also to change the driver, after all, always let one person drive, it will cause driving fatigue.

Throughout the Ironclad Artillery Brigade, every soldier will drive a gun wagon, and the steam wagon is configured with two drivers per vehicle, which can also be driven in turns.

In the early hours of the morning, the whole team stayed for a short time, so that everyone could eat and rebel, and it was convenient and convenient, and then they got into the car and continued their journey, and it was always the fastest speed.

In the evening, the team escorting the princess back had arrived in Xiangzhou and continued to march south, while Guo Yang's main team went north into Zhaozhou, and organized a medium-scale live-fire exercise in a hilly area of Zhaozhou, which made the local officials fascinated and sighed again and again at the strength of the Tang Empire.

In the Youzhou Festival Marshal's Mansion, Yan Zhuang received a large number of flying pigeon summons from the south, and learned all the movements of the ironclad artillery brigade.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Guo Yang's main team continuing to train north, but he was vigilant about a partial division suddenly going south.

At first, he also thought that this was a normal transfer of the ironclad artillery brigade, but after receiving the news from the direction of Queshan, he didn't think so.

What happened in Queshan was too strange, a team suddenly drove into the depths of Queshan, and opened cannons to block the people who were tracking, combined with the captives had said that the princess of the Tang Dynasty was trapped in the mountains, which made him feel that it was very likely that this team would enter the mountains to pick up the princess, otherwise, why did he leave Queshan in a hurry, and after arriving in Xingzhou, there was suddenly a team that drove south rapidly overnight. It's so abnormal.

Since Yan Zhuang had promised in front of An Lushan that he would definitely sacrifice the princess's body, although there was no conclusive evidence, he had to pay enough attention to it.

In order to prevent any accidents, Yan Zhuang immediately flew pigeons to pass the book, so that the people and horses along the way immediately blocked this team, and tried to find a way to find out the situation, confirm whether there were any women in this partial division, and if so, immediately find a way to kill them.

The speed of the flying pigeon transmission is much faster than that of a horseback, and it is also faster than that of the ironclad convoy, but since it takes a lot of time for the news to reach Youzhou and then pass it to the south, for this reason, by the time the southernmost team receives the news, the time has passed for a long time.

Another day later, when Guo Yang's main team arrived in Zhaozhou City, the team escorting the princess back had already left Xiangzhou, passed through Weizhou, and arrived directly at the Yellow River ferry north of Luokou overnight, and joined up with a team of men and horses who stayed here.

Due to the turbulent flow of the Yellow River, it is very dangerous to cross the river at night, so Li Feiyu decided to stop on the north bank of the ferry and cross the river to Luoyang City early the next morning.

"Third brother, after crossing the Yellow River early tomorrow morning, we will arrive at Luokou, and we will be able to arrive at Luoyang City Railway Station tomorrow afternoon, and we will definitely be able to arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow, we can finally rest assured."

Li Ya'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"Silly girl, don't be in a hurry to be happy, tonight is very critical, you must be vigilant, especially the two princesses, you must not show your face outside, there are many people from An Lushan outside."

Li Feiyu opened his mouth to remind.

"They have all gone to the Yellow River, and there are still people from An Lushan?"

"The woodcutters, fishermen and hunters outside, there are big problems, you must be very careful, if it's okay, don't get off the car, you can't leave the ironclad car when you eat, drink and Lazar, and arrive at Luoyang City Railway Station tomorrow, you can be much more comfortable."

"Yes, third brother, I will tell the princess, there is a lot of space in the ironclad car, and there is a compartment iron frame, and it is not a problem for five or six people to sleep in it."

Li Ya'er said and ran over to prepare.

In fact, the six women were all dressed in the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women from a little distance, but it was better to be careful, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

"Feiyu, the situation is not quite right! There are a lot of people who are approaching us and seem to be deliberately spying on us? ”

Zhang Erniu whispered.

"Let the soldiers be vigilant, and if the situation is not right, fire immediately, don't be polite to these people, the safety of the princess is the first priority."

Li Feiyu ordered without hesitation.

Although both of them were artillery brigade commanders, Guo Yang temporarily ordered his subordinates to obey the command of the two of them.

"Erniu, immediately find the person who is spying on us, let's arrest a few and interrogate them well, how about it?"

Li Feiyu suddenly had some itchy hands, and now he had reached the north bank of the Yellow River crossing, of course, there was no need to worry too much, and he had a bigger goal.

"Okay, I'll be in charge of attracting them, and you go around the back and catch the people."

Li Feiyu smiled: "It's decided." ”

Since the officers and men of the ironclad artillery brigade are generally equipped with telescopes, especially on the ironclad command vehicles, there are also 50 times higher power telescopes, so the ability to monitor the surrounding situation is naturally relatively strong.

Therefore, the people who were hiding around them thought that they could hide well, but in fact, they were just deceiving themselves, and their every move was under the surveillance of the soldiers of the ironclad artillery brigade.

Li Feiyu and Zhang Erniu cooperated, one after the other, and quietly arrested the people who were monitoring them one by one, arrested three people in a row, and tied them all to the ironclad artillery car, so that their companions could take a good look and monitor the fate of the ironclad artillery brigade.

Seeing that his companion was captured alive, the remaining people who were watching quickly fled back in fright, and immediately reported the situation to the rest of the people, asking them to think of countermeasures to save their captured companions.

Dozens of fishermen, woodcutters, and hunters quickly gathered and gathered to talk about their companions being captured alive.

"Not only have our companions been captured alive, but they are also tied to ironclad vehicles, which is an insult to us, and we must rescue them."

"Yes, they must be rescued, otherwise, once these people can't survive the punishment, our plans will all be exposed, and once Your Majesty knows, it will be very unfavorable to the marshal."

"We can't mess around, there is a chariot wrapped in iron armor on the opposite side, and we have no chance of winning when we rush over."

"If you really can't kill these people, the plan of the operation must not be leaked."

"I just saw a person who is very thin, it seems to be a woman, didn't Mr. Yan say that as long as there are women in this team, they will all be killed, what choice do we have, rush over directly, kill these people, and save our companions."

"Yes, it's perfectly feasible for us to attack from multiple directions at night."

After everyone had discussed, they divided into three routes and quietly set up an ambush, ready to attack at any time.

In order to avoid being discovered, the location where they assembled was relatively far away from the ironclad artillery truck, but in front of the advanced telescopes, this was still too close, and all their actions were completely under the supervision of the officers and men of the ironclad artillery brigade.

"Feiyu, these people have all gathered, as if they are going to attack us."

"It's a good time, if they really dare to attack, then destroy them all, let the soldiers prepare for battle, and imagine how these people can be the opponents of the ironclad artillery car."

Fifteen ironclad artillery carts circled the outermost side, and stared vigilantly around, the transport carts and ironclad command vehicles inside.

In the middle of the night, the seventy or eighty soldiers of the Pinglu Army, disguised as woodcutters, hunters, and fishermen, immediately attacked the camp of the ironclad artillery wagons in three directions.

"Feiyu, these people are so bold, they really dare to attack, this is deadly!"

Zhang Erniu had to praise these fanatics and challenge the ironclad artillery car with flesh and blood, what a lot of courage!

"They thought we were all asleep, so they dared to be so bold, so that the soldiers were ready to do it at any time, and they must not be polite to these fanatics."

"Click, the turret began to rotate slowly, the shells were loaded, and the muzzle was aimed at the approaching fanatic."

"Boom ......"

Fifteen cannons were fired at the same time, and the seventy or eighty maniacs who were attacking were thrown into chaos, and at least half of them were wounded on the spot.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

When the second shell was fired, more people were injured.

At first glance, there was no chance of victory at all, and their losses were too great, and the rest of the people all ran around and threw their injured companions on the ground.

"Feiyu, what about these injured people?"

"Just leave it at that! If they are still there tomorrow morning, they will be tied up and brought back to the capital, so that the imperial doctor in the palace can take a good look at them? ”

Li Feiyu replied.

"Good idea, they are assassinating the princess, it is a big crime, put them in the palace, Your Majesty will definitely interrogate them, and they can only reduce the punishment if they confess to the mastermind behind the scenes."

"This mastermind behind the scenes, besides An Lushan, who else can there be, I want to see how An Lushan will continue to be favored by the emperor this time."

Li Feiyu smiled coldly and said.

"Feiyu, you go to sleep first! I continued to be on duty with some of the soldiers. ”

During the day, Zhang Erniu slept in the ironclad command car for an afternoon, and he was full of energy after all.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, make sure to ensure the safety of the princess and prevent the rest from coming back."

"Don't worry! It's on me. ”

Zhang Erniu assured.

In the early morning of the second day, when Li Feiyu got up, Zhang Erniu had already tied up all the injured and immobile maniacs, and together with the previous three, there were more than ten people, all of whom were concentrated in a transport vehicle.

In addition, the fanatics who were killed by artillery last night had a total of more than ten people, and the remaining lightly injured and uninjured people all disappeared without a trace, and they were completely shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of the ironclad artillery brigade, and completely lost the courage to challenge.

"Feiyu, everything is ready, you can cross the river."

Zhang Erniu reminded.

Li Feiyu nodded and said: "Okay, cross the river immediately, after crossing the river, immediately rush to Luoyang City Railway Station, and send someone to inform Guo Lushuai and tell him what happened here, so that he can be prepared." ”

After arranging everything, the team immediately began to cross the river, because the task of this trip is to escort the princess back to the capital as soon as possible, so the speed is the first, the first batch of vehicles to cross the river are two ironclad command vehicles, three transport vehicles, and five ironclad artillery vehicles, and the rest of the vehicles stay on the north bank, and do not follow Li Feiyu and his party, so as not to slow down the speed of the group.

As the first night had already been contacted, ten steam carriers were already waiting on the north shore early in the morning, and ten cars were immediately transported to the south shore, and the whole process went very smoothly, and it only took half an hour.
