081, meet on a narrow road
In the days after Cui Yi left, the number of people patrolling the city wall of Hubenguan was twice as large as in the past, and flags were erected everywhere, which was very "bluffing".
Xie Yong observed and found that there were only dozens of people working in the fields, and there were only more than 1,000 people on the training ground of the military camp, less than five phalanxes, Cui Yi was not there, Cao Qian was not there, and even Yang Qiong was nowhere to be found.
It's not strange that Cui Yi took one of Cao Qian or Yang Qiong with him, but it was a bit too risky to take both of them, what if the Beidi people had a premeditated attack on the Yanzhou camp? Xie Yong walked around the barracks and left.
After a while, Bailizan received a message from Cao Qian, saying that Xie Yong had indeed gone to the military camp to verify.
"I really can't keep it......" sighed.
Bailizan smiled and withdrew the messenger, saying: "Such a person, what if you keep it, there are not a few taels of ink in your stomach, and your heart is small, I don't remember when I offended him, but in Xuanzhou in those days, he did his best to do vicious things, not only did not let me eat enough, but also asked people to let the dog go, chased the little peach crisp squatting on the roof and did not dare to come down, and when I woke up, I threw a dead mouse in front of the bed, and drank snails in the porridge......"
Zhiying covered her mouth with an expression of wanting to vomit, and Bailizan shook her head again and again.
It's easy to suppress the feeling of nausea, Zhiying drank a sip of water, and looked at him with teary eyes: "How is Mr. worse than me, I was still strange at the beginning, Miss Xie just wanted me to be a whole, Mr. is also the prince's henchman, and she has no grudges or grudges, how can she be unlucky, Xie Xiao will not be stupid to this point." ”
"Miss Xie wants to compete with her wife for the position of princess, and Xie Yong also wants to compete with me for the position of chief strategist, naturally we are not pleasing to the eye," Bailizan replied on the excerpt, "What is the name of the chief strategist, I have nothing to do with it, in terms of wisdom, I think I am not as good as Brother Shan, and I am willing to give up the chief, but if it is Xie Yong, hehe!" ”
The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to vomit, she muttered in her throat, and quickly ran out of the door, holding on to the door frame and retching twice, but didn't vomit anything.
Bailizan didn't raise his head behind the table: "Madam, are you happy?" Do you want to ask a doctor to check the pulse? ”
Zhiying rolled her eyes weakly: "Disgusted by the snail." Where can I have it so soon, Xian'er is only a year old, and I am not a sow. ”
Bailizan couldn't help laughing: "Sows can give birth to two or three litters a year, how can Mrs. compare herself with sows." ”
Holding Ying knotted for a while, and asked rhetorically: "Sir, do you mean that I am not even as good as a sow?" ”
Bailizan hurriedly denied it, and Zhiying said angrily: "I'll go back, there are still a lot of things to do at home, and after a while, the sorghum will be ripe and I will have to start brewing wine." - Also, a few days ago, I bought back a batch of chicks from the market, and the prince did not let them raise them in the palace, so they were temporarily raised in the same yard with the pigs, and then hatched the chicks when they turned around, but they had to let everyone take a batch back, and the cage had already been made by the carpenter, so it was decided! ”
"Huh?!"
Day 10.
Yang Qiong finally found the team of Beidi Yi and the envoys within the boundaries of Ganzhou.
The sunset at dusk was golden red, like a fire burning people's patience, Yang Qiong hid in the woods on the hillside, bowed down, hid herself, and the beads of sweat on the tip of her nose were glowing with golden light.
There are nearly a thousand tents under the hillside, but according to Cui Jie's letter to Xie Yong, the team should only have 2,000 people, and the rest should be tribute from Da Chu, as well as grain and grass.
Although he couldn't wait to rush down the mountain immediately and fight with Huerhana for 300 rounds, Yang Qiong still decided to recuperate first, eat and drink enough to rest, and wait for his body to recover to his best condition, and then it was not too late to go.
Yang Qiong hid the horse in the forest, made a mark, and found a place with a wide field of vision to guard, and a pheasant that she had just hunted was plucked and buried in the ground to make a flower chicken. The Beidi people under the hillside were also cooking in the stove, and Yang Qiong squinted and had a rough estimate of the distribution of troops.
A cook with a white cloth covering his mouth carries a bucket to fetch water.
He began to regret that he had gone too hastily and had not made adequate preparations, otherwise he would have rushed down and killed this man, stripped off his clothes and put them on, mixed into the camp, and put some medicine in his meal, and could kill at least three teams or even a regiment of men.
It was a big mistake not to bring poison, Yang Qiong thought with some chagrin.
However, early the next morning, the Beidi people set out for camp, but found that more than 200 people had died, and the general rushed to report to Huerhana in shock, and asked about the cause of death, only knowing that it was poisoning, but he did not know who poisoned it and when.
When a person died, he could not be left alone, so the surviving people gathered firewood, piled up the bodies of their dead compatriots, and burned them with fire.
Yang Qiong watched from afar, her heart beating like a drum.
In addition to himself, there are people secretly staring at this team, who could it be? The killer hired by Zhai Rang? It's possible.
He thought about it for a moment and decided to leave for a while and go on a different arrangement.
After some commotion, the Beidi envoys returned to the road, and the next day they entered the canyon and encountered another ambush.
The big rock rumbled down from the mountain, smashed the forward team to the back of the horse, the rear did not know, and the soldiers who retreated in panic collided with each other, blocking the way, Yang Qiong took away a skid, the boulder rolled down, smashed in the crowded place, and more than a dozen people died on the spot.
Huerhana rode on horseback, roaring hoarsely, Yang Qiong couldn't understand Beidi's words, but he could guess that it was probably calm and not panic, a day's time, he prepared in a hurry, seven or eight stones were already the limit, and he was about to turn around and run to the next point to prepare, when more than a dozen claypot-sized rocks suddenly fell on the opposite mountain, and smashed the Beidi soldiers crying and grabbing the ground again.
Many people scurried around like flies, and the horses were frightened, and they didn't know how many people died when they stepped on them.
Yang Qiong gasped and looked at the opposite hill in disbelief, the distance was too far, and she could only vaguely see a figure shaking, and there was no way to distinguish between men and women.
"Whoever you are, thank you!" Yang Qiong was inspired and was once again full of strength to prepare for the next trap.
After two attacks in succession, Huerhana lost nearly 500 men, and did not dare to cook and eat slowly, so he had to order the whole army to move forward with dry food.
After dark, Yang Qiong scavenged the crossbow arrows of the Beidi soldiers who died in the valley, set up dozens of crossbows in the forest, and as soon as the team passed, they took away the ropes, and in an instant dozens of arrows shot out like a rainstorm pear blossom, or shot a man-made disaster and shot a horse, all of which attracted a miserable cry, but soon a team followed the direction of the arrow to find, Yang Qiong carried a large number of short arrows, copied the crossbow, hid in the dark and put an arrow to change a place, his accuracy was very good, and the team of fifty people was put down by him in the blink of an eye.
But Yang Qiong's own whereabouts were also exposed, dozens of arrows shot at him together, Rao is he slashed the silver moon spear into the wind, and he was still hit by an arrow in his thigh, and his running speed suddenly slowed down, seeing a Beidi soldier draw a knife and cut it, thinking that he couldn't dodge, he wanted to pick up the gun to stab.
Suddenly, there was a sound of loose strings in the forest, and an arrow flew towards Yang Qiong's ear, piercing the throat of the Beidi soldier in front of him.
The Beidi soldier fell with a look of disbelief on his face, followed by another arrow, and another arrow, and with each shot of the bow of the unknown helper in the woods, he shot a Beidi soldier with precision.
Yang Qiong couldn't help but shout angrily, broke the cluster of arrows on her thigh, and regardless of the pain, rushed forward to fight with the few people left.
Half an hour later, the silver moon spear pierced the last Beidi soldier through a hole in his chest, Yang Qiong was also so tired that he almost collapsed, the wound on his thigh had not been bandaged, the blood stained the entire trouser leg, and his boots were soaked.
Dizziness from blood loss, Yang Qiong walked up the mountain with the help of the tree, wanting to see the benefactor, but only found a cloth bag hanging with a short knife on a tree, which contained wound medicine, bandages and a small piece of musk. Yang Qiong sat down tiredly leaning against the tree, cut the flesh on her thigh with a short knife, dug out arrows, and shook most of the bottle of medicinal powder.
The medicinal powder was extremely irritating, and he broke out in a cold sweat while tying the wound tightly with a bandage, which easily stopped the bleeding, and he couldn't wait to chase the Beidi envoys.
The envoys traveled overnight, and the next day was peaceful, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and camped and rested after nightfall.
Dressed in black, Bo Mu'er carried a scimitar on his back, covered his face with a white cloth, and quietly sneaked into the camp, and the Beidi soldiers drove for two days and one night in a row, and they were already so tired that they slept like dead pigs, and he covered his mouth with a cloth towel, cut his throat with a knife, and killed dozens of people silently.
Then finally a soldier on the night patrol discovered that the assassin had infiltrated, knocking on the iron pot to wake up the whole battalion, Bomur immediately stopped, and a hooves crossed the oncoming Beidi spearmen, and threw out a few throwing knives with his backhand - all of them were self-defense gadgets on the poisoned Beidi soldiers, and regardless of how many people were hit, he fled towards the mountain quickly.
Nayang screamed in the sky, and the Beidi soldiers couldn't catch up with Bomur, so they followed the direction of Nayang Fei, and more than 100 people rushed into the mountains and forests, and were soon assassinated by Bomur and Sanduo separately.
There was a great chaos in the camp, and Huerhana ran out of the tent in disheveled clothes, scolding something.
Cui Yi stood on the hillside, the arrows wrapped in cotton cloth on the bonfire, immediately burned, he bowed his legs and arms, opened his bow like the moon, aimed at a certain tent in the camp, and shot out suddenly.
The rocket drew a red line in the dark night and landed on the grain and grass tent that Sanduo had sprinkled with rosin and oil in advance.
The flames were stained with rosin, and they burned in an instant, Cui Yi listened to the panicked shouts of the Beidi soldiers, the corners of his mouth hooked happily, and he took another arrow and shot it towards the other tent.
The light of the fire reflected in his black eyes changed from less to more, and in such a dry season, even the soldiers tried to get water from the river, but they could not stop the fire from spreading.
The Beidi generals covered Huerhana to escape from the fire, and after a while, someone carried Cheng Fengyi onto the carriage, and the soldiers gave up their grain, grass and military tents, and fled in a hurry.
Those who were burned in their sleep, those who went to the river to fetch water and were assassinated, and those who followed Khurhana alive at last, the infantry and cavalry together were less than eight hundred.
Huerhana looked at the burned tent from afar, and shouted angrily, and the accompanying general stepped forward to say something, and he kicked him horseback, causing the man to vomit blood and fall out.
"Who is it! Who is calculating the Lone King! Huerhana pounded his chest and whiskers and roared loudly, "Come out if you have a kind!" ”
Further on, you have to enter the boundary of Yanzhou, the terrain is relatively gentle, it is difficult to ambush again, and when Huerhana is out of the pass, there are 6,000 soldiers and horses waiting outside the pass, and there is no skill to return to the sky completely.
Thinking about it, Yang Qiong walked out of hiding.
