Half a month after the military disaster, the county seat of Borden finally gradually recovered some of its old views. The houses that were destroyed by the Jurchens that day and burned by the fire were finally repaired and rebuilt, and many people who survived the disaster finally had some smiles on their faces.

And all this is naturally the credit of Sun Tu, there are officials and soldiers sitting in the county, so that the people can rebuild their homes with peace of mind, not to mention that these officials and soldiers can often help them work, so that those who have lost their relatives have once again received the care of relatives, and the county has regained its vitality.

Seeing that the people here had regained hope, and there were no other traces of foreign clans or thieves nearby, and the people who had returned to their own families in Peach Blossom Mountain had also come over one after another, Sun Tu finally decided to set off to return to Qingzhou City in the next two days. After all, it has been more than a month since I came out to suppress the bandits this time, and I don't know if there will be any changes in Qingzhou City, it's time to go back.

When this news spread in the county town, the men and women of all ages in the city were extremely reluctant, but they also knew that Sun Dujian had his own responsibilities and could not stay in such a small county town as Boden all the time, so they did not dare to keep too much, but in addition to a thousand thanks, they mobilized the people of the city to make warm clothes such as cotton clothes for the winter and dry food on the road for the soldiers.

Sun Tu did not refuse after learning everyone's intentions, which made the army linger in the city for a few more days. And just then, a change suddenly happened-

At noon that day, it was quiet and peaceful inside and outside the county, and several soldiers guarding the gate were also lazily leaning on the brick wall at the city gate with their guns and gossiping, when suddenly there was a puff of smoke and dust rolling in from the official road ahead. After a while, they saw more than a dozen fast horses in front and back rushing towards this side with all their might, and the first three horsemen in front of them were completely lying on the back of the horse, constantly jolting as the horses ran, looking like they were about to fall apart.

The men who were chasing after them kept shouting something, and when they suddenly found that there was a city not far away, they quickly stopped their horses, and then took out their bows and arrows, and fired them at the target in front of them, and the whizzing feathered arrows kept flying by their sides, which was really dangerous.

The sergeants at the gate of the city were a little stunned, but then a sharp-eyed person saw the problem: "It's our Qingzhou Army who are being hunted down!" They are wearing our uniforms! By this time, the first few people in front of them were getting closer and closer, and they could finally see the clothes of the people on horseback vaguely.

Several other soldiers looked at it and understood the situation, and suddenly their faces were solemn, and someone quickly picked up the stick they carried and beat it hard, which was all prepared for the Jurchen thieves who might come again, but now they are used to save their own people. The rest of them have already rushed to meet the rescue support.

Just when the two sides were getting closer and closer, two sharp arrows shot into the bodies of the two escapees who were a little behind from behind, causing them to fall off the horse with a scream, and finally the man desperately spurred the crotch horse to sprint forward as fast as possible, and finally let him rush to the soldiers who came out, and several people were also shocked after seeing the embarrassed man, covered with blood and dust: "Should command ......"

At this time, another arrow came from behind, although Ying Jie tried his best to flash to the side after hearing the sound, but his body was already weak, and his movements were slowed down after all, so that the arrow directly sank into his back, and he screamed in pain, and fell off the horse with a bang.

These soldiers in front of them were suddenly furious, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect Ying Jie behind them, and several people with knives and guns were about to fight back - after experiencing a series of battles, these Qingzhou soldiers already had a strong fighting spirit, even if the number of enemies in front of them was still above them, they did not flinch at all.

Moreover, the number of troops was reversed after a few moments. With the sound of bangzi just now, those Qingzhou soldiers in the city have quickly moved, and several groups of men and horses have rushed towards the west gate, and the more than ten cavalry led by Yang Zhi rushed to the forefront.

When they rushed to the city gate like a whirlwind, and saw the hesitant pursuers outside, they did not hesitate to give the order to attack. And after the other party saw that many officials and soldiers were being killed in the city, he was already frightened, and turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, the pursuer becomes prey.

But they have been chasing and killing all the way, whether it is manpower or horsepower, they have reached the end of the crossbow, how can they be faster than the Qingzhou army that has been recuperating in the city? After only a few miles away, they were caught up by Yang Zhi and others, and a battle broke out. These people could not hold out enough, and they were all cut down by the magnificent Qingzhou cavalry, except for three who were captured alive, and all the others were killed.

By the time Sun Tu and the others heard the news and rushed out of the city, Yang Zhi and the others had already escorted a group of prisoners back. But there was no joy on everyone's faces, because they already knew that something was wrong!

Ying Jie, who was supposed to stay in the Qingzhou military camp, actually led people to appear in Boden County, more than 100 miles away, and there were people chasing and killing him behind him, does this mean that Qingzhou City has undergone great changes? Sun Tu and they had too many things to ask Ying Jie, the only living mouth, but after he was shot off the horse by an arrow, he completely fell into a coma, and he couldn't open his mouth at this time anyway.

Sun Tu could only retreat, let the three captives be brought to him, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you, why do you dare to hunt down and kill the officers and soldiers?" ”

"Kill if you want, do you think we will betray our brother?" Although several people were injured and looked very embarrassed, their momentum did not decrease, and the answers they gave were extremely tough.

"Don't you dare?" Some officers and soldiers on the side shouted angrily, and at the same time, they raised their swords and guns against their chests, threatening: "If you don't recruit from the truth, I will send you down now to talk to the king of Hades!" ”

An unexpected scene ensued, and after several people looked at each other, they all laughed, and then suddenly threw their bodies forward in unison, and actually planted directly on the knife and gun. Seeing this, Sun Tu's face changed suddenly, and he just wanted to let people take away the knife, but he was still a step too late, only to hear a few pops, blood burst out, and the three of them were all hit in the chest, and then they all fell on their backs with a weird smile on the corner of their mouths.

This change was so strange that it made the officers and soldiers present stunned for a long time, and then the few soldiers who threatened them with knives and guns quickly knelt down: "Prisoner, it's all my carelessness, that's why ......."

"Well, it's no wonder you. And even if they are really dead, it's not that they can't ask something, at least the commander is still alive. Sun Tu waved his hand, and then ordered them to take Ying Jie, who was still unconscious, into the city for treatment.

Now there are still a few doctors in Boden City, one of whom is especially good at treating the injuries of bruises and golden wounds, and many Qingzhou soldiers have also relied on him to heal them before. Now although Ying Jie was hit by an arrow, it was not fatal, and it was not a difficult thing for him.

After the doctor was busy for a while, the arrow was taken out, and Ying Jie finally woke up slowly. After seeing Sun Tu in front of him, he was even more excited, and he struggled to get up: "Prison ...... Quick, go back and save Qingzhou City...... Qingzhou is being attacked by bandits from Erlong Mountain, and the little ones are risking their lives to go out of the city to ask for help. ”

"What?" The faces of the people present changed after hearing this, the thieves of Erlong Mountain were so bold that they dared to take the initiative to attack Qingzhou City?

Sun Tu also narrowed his eyes and stared at Ying Jie: "Is this true?" How many men and horses do they dare to attack my Qingzhou City? "Although Qingzhou is not a border town, the city wall is high and thick enough, and it is not waiting for idle thieves to be able to defeat it.

"They dispatched more than 3,000 people this time to storm our Qingzhou City on two sides. There were so few of our brothers that they almost stormed the city in a few days. Counselor Huang and Commander Tang knew that it was difficult to defend, so they sent their humble officials to lead people out of the city to ask for help. I hate that those thieves also have arrangements outside, and the ten brothers who went out of the city with me were all killed......" In the end, he was really resentful, and his face was full of emotion.

"Although there are many thieves in Erlong Mountain, they can't come up with 3,000 soldiers and horses......" Sun Tu's brows furrowed more and more. Just now, he was a little skeptical of this person's statement, and felt that it was impossible for Qingzhou to be threatened by the people of Erlong Mountain, but now when he heard that there were actually 3,000 people attacking the city, and there were less than 500 people in the city, of which 300 were still recruits who had not been trained several times, so it seemed that the situation was urgent. It's just that where did Erlong Mountain get so many centaurs out of thin air?

"It's the Liangshan bandits, and the people of Erlongshan have invited the Liangshan bandits to attack my Qingzhou City together. Because you were imprisoned before, and the Kong brothers of Baihu Mountain who were killed were still disciples of Song Jiang, the second leader of Liangshan, they would send troops to help. After a pause, he said again: "By the way, there is also a letter from Counselor Huang here, and please take a look at it." As he spoke, he took out a bloodstained letter from the inner fit of his garment, enduring the pain.

Sun Tu took it casually, opened it and swept it, and recognized that the handwriting on it was indeed Huang Wenbing's, which made him believe in this matter for three points in his heart, it seems that Qingzhou is indeed in a big disaster.

And the others were also nervous at this time: "Those thieves are really bold, they dare to offend my Qingzhou City." Metropolitan Eunuch, there is no time to delay, we must immediately send troops to the rescue, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor! ”

Sun Tu had already read all the letters at this time, and nodded with a calm face: "This matter is indeed not trivial, Qingzhou is my foundation, and there is no room for error." Pass my orders, prepare the whole army, and before dark, we will set off! ”

After speaking, he patted Ying Jie again and said: "If you have an injury, you will take care of it here in Boden for a while, and your credit has been remembered in my heart." ”

Ying Jie replied in a low voice, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Sun Tu would see any flaws, and now it seems that this bitter plan has finally succeeded. Anyway, a lot of people have been sacrificed this time, so we can't let them die in vain.
