Section 314 Terrible conjecture
A war of great disparity was over, but the whole process took only about half an hour.
The miracle of war turned out to be the destruction of the outnumbered many. This convoy, regardless of whether it is an ironclad elite guard warrior or a Song martial arts bodyguard, all the members of the guard are dead. On the outnumbered side, no one was killed, and a gamble miraculously won.
It's just that in the ten-person sneak attack team, only Wan Qi Danian, an excellent long-range hunter, was unscathed, and the others were injured.
Duan Jingzhu, Wu Neng, Xu Jin, Qian Kong, Niu Jinbao, Jin Laishun, and Ma Decai suffered leg arrow wounds caused by the short-distance projectile of the Liao army's archery masters. The upper body is protected by inner armor, which cannot be damaged by thrown arrows.
Qian Jar and Ma Decai were hit hard in the chest and abdomen during the melee battle with the Iron Armor Army, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and they felt that their bodies were not very strong.
Wang Nianjing was besieged by the enemy in a vicious fight, and his legs that could not be protected by the inner armor were injured in many places, but fortunately it was not serious.
Even Zhao Yue was in the rain of sharp arrows of the Liao army, and his face was scratched by arrows. But he asked everyone to deal with the wounds quickly, but he didn't care about the wounds on his face, opened the door of the last carriage, and shouted, "Get out of the car honestly and help with the work." ”
It turned out that the only car pulled by two horses was not full of divine arm crossbow accessories, but more than a dozen Song craftsmen, all of whom knew how to manufacture and assemble divine arm crossbows, and were all kidnapped by Wang Qiang of Anqing and threatened to lure them to Liao to guide the Liao army to assemble divine crossbows.
The border defense of the Great Song Dynasty is like a sieve full of loopholes, but even with the dignity of the king of Anqing and the power and power of those officials who only have selfish interests and money in his eyes, it is impossible to use tens of thousands of intact finished god arm crossbows to clear the customs and cross the border with a vast large convoy.
The weapon of the town is the strictest prohibition of leakage and leakage in the state. No one can cross this red line.
On the battlefield, the crossbowman is dead, and he must destroy the divine arm crossbow before he dies, so that the enemy will not be able to imitate and develop it.
This smuggling trip is undoubtedly a felony among felonies.
Border coaches. Whether it is the Western Army General, or the Yingzhou Prefect and Gaoyang Guanlu Observer Envoy, no matter how greedy for personal gain, and then turn a blind eye to the contraband in transit, in the final analysis, he is still loyal to the fundamental interests of the Great Song Dynasty, at least for now. They will never let the Great Song Dynasty be directly endangered. The weapons of the town and the state that endangered the security and status of their army flowed out of their jurisdictions.
No matter how well King Anqing's gang of crazy traitors bought the army guarding the border gates, they would never dare to reveal a little bit of the contraband they resold was actually a divine arm crossbow.
Once the secret of heaven is leaked and the imperial court is aware of it, whether the resale is successful or not, it will definitely be a shocking blood wave. Whoever gets stained dies.
Not to mention that after the side general who sold knew the truth, did he dare to fool the inspection, secretly cooperate with the customs clearance and release quickly, would he pretend to be okay with the face, but behind his back he wanted to turn his face and ruthlessly intercept this batch of heavy weapons. In this way, he made earth-shattering achievements, won heavy rewards from the imperial court, and made a fortune in exchange for promotion. It's just that it's hard to prevent it, and it can't tell the truth.
The crossbow must be disassembled to change its shape, reduce the support area, and be mixed with other conventional takeaway goods to cope with customs clearance.
However, the accessories cannot be standardized and cannot be universal, so they can only be disassembled. The accessories of the rack were wrapped together separately, and they waited for the handover of Liao. Under the guidance and guidance of the rationing craftsmen, the Liao army itself assembled bags and used them.
These craftsmen are just skilled technicians, born in the stable mainland of the Great Song Dynasty, working in the stable Tokyo official workshop, they have never seen a bloody battle, and they are all frightened by this fierce battle. The 'enemy' actually won, and they only thought that they were going to lose their heads and enter the ghost gate.
Zhao Yue glanced at the trembling dozen people, saw that these people didn't know martial arts, guessed their identities, and knew what they were afraid of. After asking a little and getting verification, he pulled down the mask, showed his face, and said in a slow tone: "You know who Wen Chenghou is, right?" ”
The craftsmen winced and nodded.
Zhao Yue said: "Let me tell you, I am his own brother, and I came here on the order of my eldest brother." You are innocents who have been forced to come. Don't be afraid. Just do what I say. Your lives are guaranteed in the future. If the coerced family members are not poisoned, I can help you rescue them. ”
The craftsmen were obviously very convinced of Cang Zhao, and they didn't have the heart to question Zhao Yue's true identity at this juncture. There is no need to die, the heart is put down first, and there is hope, according to the command's order, they all boldly packed up the weapons all over the ground and put them into the carriage where they and Steward Zhao were sitting.
Han Chang smelled the blood and urine smell of Steward Zhao, but he couldn't escape, and at this moment, he was taken out of the carriage by Zhao Yue and thrown on the wheel, his mouth was gagged and he couldn't make a sound, he saw the tragic situation of the Liao army, and he was so frightened that only his eyes were rolling.
Duan Jingzhu was good at controlling horses, so he hurriedly bandaged his wounds and got on his horse and ran to gather the war horses together to prevent them from running away.
The others saw that Zhao Yue was picking up the Liao Army's ironclad clothes, and they didn't know what Zhao Yue wanted these toys for, but they also hurriedly followed.
Prince Puji is as smart as a god, and he will not do meaningless things when he needs to race against time to leave, and what he does must have deep meaning.
The leather robes and leather boots of the Yanwang Mansion Guards and the dead fat butler Zhao are really good, so they have to be taken down and loaded on the car.
When I return to Yanshan to clean it up, I can use it. The horse thief didn't look at the majesty and arrogance, and he also robbed some money, but the actual standard of living is really not very good, how can it be a rough word.
These fine robes and sturdy boots are not necessarily available to the rich.
Living in the deep cold mountains, horse thieves really need this kind of warm and sturdy equipment.
Quickly cleaned up the battlefield, Zhao Yue and the others threw the corpses in the ditch, just sank into the thick snow on the edge of the ditch, and then used the weapon to roughly draw some snow to cover the exposed part, and roughly covered the big pool of blood on the road with snow, while no one was still passing by in the four fields, hurriedly got on the horse, and asked the craftsman to set up a car and run a while in front of the head car driven by Duan Jingzhu, turn into a fork in the road, retrieve his horse that had been hidden in the mountain recess before, and continue to rush to a more secluded and hidden place.
This area is only one hundred and eighty miles away from Yanjing, and there are some important transportation arteries around Yanjing where heavy troops are stationed.
It is undoubtedly a fool's dream for such a dozen people to take so many war horses and carts to sneak into Yanshan smoothly on a flat and spacious road.
Before the sneak attack, Zhao Yue originally thought that if he won, he would calmly destroy the Divine Arm Crossbow. If the enemy is too strong, the battle will not go well, and he is not afraid of attracting enemies from afar, so he will set fire to the carriage and burn the crossbow, steal the enemy's good horses, and strive for one man and two horsemen to escape quickly.
He didn't imagine running away with the loot like this now.
But Duan Jingzhu said. If you can win, you don't have to destroy the crossbow. He was sure to take everyone back to Yanshan on a safe road.
Memorizing the road, finding out the road, knowing the road, and choosing the road to consider advancing and retreating are Lao Duan's strengths, and they are also the habits he has developed for many years as a horse thief.
Without this ability, stealing the good horses of the horseback people who are familiar with the local geography, and being a horse thief has been safe and sound. That's simply not possible.
Zhao Yuexin's ability to Duan Jingzhu.
At this time, the wilderness is deserted, which is also greatly conducive to hiding the traces of transit.
In any case, it is necessary to abandon the cart that can only travel on a flat road, ride a horse quickly through the wild road, and sneak into the mountains before the enemy notices that something is wrong with the goods.
Before, all the horses were gathered to prevent outsiders from seeing whether there were main war horses running and cleaning up the battlefield. The corpses and bloodstains were also concealed in order to keep the fight as unnoticed as possible. Do your best to delay the revelation of the matter.
Hiding in this remote place, Zhao Yue dismounted, commanded everyone to make ropes from the enemy's clothes, and tied the hemp bags made of small bags of divine arm crossbow accessories to the horse's back and carried them.
This thing is not too heavy, and one horse can tie three bags. Although there were many crossbows, more than 200 horses were needed.
Only then did all the rough men wake up to Zhao Yue's intention of picking up the clothes of the dead corpse, and they all laughed.
There is no such clothes rope. I really can't use a horse to take a crossbow away.
Before the war, with so few people intercepting such a powerful enemy, they were all nervous at the time, and only thought about fighting, and did not pay attention to the problem of the rope. Postwar. Pain, slackness, exhaustion, busyness, and lack of attention to the lack of ropes on the trucks.
Only Zhao Yue, who has a heart like iron and strong nerves, can be calm and thoughtful.
The enemy's iron-clad weapons, robes, boots, etc., were packed in military leather sleeping bags in wide knots carried by the Liao army, tied the openings, and carried them on some of the remaining horses. Then use the long reins of the cart to connect all the pack horses together and control them, so as to prevent them from running around without their owner.
A dozen craftsmen who could not ride horses wore fur hats, wrapped in leather robes, and tied to their horses with clothesropes to prevent them from falling.
The captive Xiao Han was often stripped of iron armor, wrapped in a leather robe, and handcuffed on his back, tied to a horse.
His face was covered with his own bib for riding horses to protect him from the wind, and outsiders saw him, but they did not know that he was a prisoner of war who was forcibly kidnapped by gags.
The brigade abandoned the truck, guarded the horses, and urged the horses to follow the guide Duan Jingzhu to quickly get into the path and start the absconding journey.
Most of the craftsmen did not know how to ride a horse, or even never rode a horse, and were tossed uncomfortably on fast horses.
Han Chang is skilled in equestrian skills, and he can't control the horse freely with his hands tied and behind his back, and he is not uncomfortable riding a horse. He was controlled by Wu Neng and Xu Jin in the middle, and while running, he looked at Zhao Yue, who was riding Mo Li's BMW and ran freely in front of him, and the big knife he was carrying was his one, and he was surprised how Zhao Yue easily subdued Mo Li's BMW, and admired this Cangzhao disciple who was as powerful as a demon god, and his expression was complicated.
He didn't know what his fate would become.
His father was a high-ranking officer and general of the Liao army. His home, his mother, relatives, and dreams are all in Liao. Dreams can be abandoned or changed, but he will never abandon his relatives and surrender to the Great Song Dynasty regardless of the safety of his relatives.
Zhao Yue didn't kill me with a knife, kidnapped me, and took me away for this big thing, what is the purpose?
If this devilish strong man sees that I am a Han and feels that I am ready to surrender by force, should I resist to the death?
Han Chang children's shoes feel that he is a tough guy and is not afraid of death. It's just that he was twenty years old, and a good life has just begun, and he hasn't tasted it yet, so he died silently, and he was gnawed by wild beasts like this, and he was not reconciled.
Zhao Yue didn't care about what he was struggling with, he just hurried away desperately.
Passing through the mountains and freezing hard fields, running away from villages and towns, Duan Jingzhu was really capable, leading the way so that the brigade could run smoothly until dark in one go.
God seems to take special care of this group of daring and capable bandits. There is a good round moon tonight, and the clouds are scarce, and the moonlight shines on the snow and the snow is silvery bright, and it is not a big problem to find the way at night. Zhao Yue ordered to continue to brave the wind and cold.
Everything will be said when it is safe to enter the mountains, hide the traces, and be safe.
The men and the horses kept their spirits together and ran until dawn, and came to a mountain to pass through.
The horses that pulled the carts were sweating like pulp, and although they were strong, they had limited running ability, and even if they were only carrying some light things, and the burden was not heavy, they could not support the running until now, and they neighed weakly and slowed down, and refused to run anymore no matter how much they urged.
Zhao Yue was in a hurry, and was about to find a convenient place to hide the corpses after entering the mountain to kill these horses, get rid of the burden and continue to run fast, Duan Jingzhu saw it, and said with a smile: "Second master, there is no need to be rude to these incompetent animals. We're home. Haha"
Zhao Yue was overjoyed when he heard this: "Jingzhu, this is our Yanshan realm?" ”
Yanshan is one of the famous mountain ranges in northern China. It starts from Baihe River in the west, reaches Shanhaiguan in the east, connects the Bashang Plateau in the north, Qilaotu Mountain and Nuruer Tiger Mountain, and is separated from Taihang Mountain by Guangou in the southwest. The south side is the Hebei Plain, with a large height difference. The Luanhe River cuts off this mountain, forming the mouth of the gorge - Xifengkou, and the Chaohe River cuts to form the Gubeikou, etc., which is the north-south traffic channel since ancient times. It also has a very high status in the military, and it is a battleground for soldiers.
Yanshan is divided into large and small Yanshan.
The scope of Dayan Mountain can be vast, referring to the mountains south of the Bashang Plateau, north of the Hebei Plain, east of the Baihe Valley, and west of Shanhaiguan, which is about 420 kilometers long from east to west, and nearly 200 kilometers from north to south.
Zhao Yue didn't know about Yanshan in his previous life, but he went north through the Yanshan area in this life, but he was not familiar with this area, so he asked.
Duan Jingzhu nodded with a smile: "Our nest in Yanshan is not too far from Yanjing, but it is inaccessible, and it happens to be dark under the lights." ”
Zhao Yue listened to him say it in a relaxed and interesting way, and he couldn't help but laugh as he glanced at the empty and lonely nearby area.
Such a big thing was really done secretly by so many people?!
He sighed secretly, relaxed, breathed a long sigh of relief in the excitement, and then turned back to the tired crowd and smiled: "When you get home, walk forward with more energy." ”
As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Han Chang meaningfully.
Han Chang looked at the vast Yan Mountain, which was rolling and deep, and then looked at Zhao Yue, unable to speak, but his expression became more and more complicated.
He knew that no matter how capable he was, he really couldn't escape this time, he was very sad and dazed, and wondered if the Cangzhao family had already hidden a horse thief army in the deep mountains near Yanjing?
If this is the case, then the Cangzhao family,
No, to be precise, it should be said that the famous little sage of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Gonglian, the prefect of Qingzhou, is afraid that he really has the intention to seize Yanyun and recover the sixteen states of the Han family in the past, his ambitions are not small, his plans are far-reaching, and he has already arranged in Yanjing, such an enemy is too terrible!
If Cangzhao is the emperor, how can anyone else mix the emperor's share in this world?!
If the Cangzhao family is the real master behind that group of powerful pirates, then the world is only afraid of great changes. Da Liao is so difficult to deal with the small Jin Kingdom, and there is a future?
Passive and confused, he felt a lot of emotion and even palpitations, Han Tongshou could only be carried into the mountains with the brigade, and mysteriously disappeared into the rule of Yandi. (To be continued.) )
