Chapter 171: Exposed and Captured

More than 100 cavalrymen, under the leadership of Guo Jing, galloped towards the northwest, and sure enough, two kilometers away from them, Guo Jing saw a very shocking scene!

At this time, they were on top of a small high hill, and when they looked at it, there was a large group of soldiers and horses under the high hill! He roughly estimated that this group of soldiers and horses was no less than 5,000 people!

You must know that the defenders in Liangzhou City are only more than 1,000 people, and the situation in Liangzhou City is similar to them, and the number of troops will naturally not exceed 2,000, so where did such a large force come from?

"Red Wolf Banner!"

At this time, a lieutenant behind Guo Jing snorted.

Guo Jing took a closer look and took a breath of cold air with a "hiss"! It's not, it's the Red Wolf Flag!

He has been fighting with Xiliang for many years, so he naturally knows many of the rules of Xiliang, for example, there are three kinds of battle flags of the Xiliang army, which are divided into black wolf flags, red wolf flags and green wolf flags.

The green wolf flag is the most common, green represents a large grassland on the land of Xiliang, and the black wolf on the grassland is the totem of Xiliang, so this green wolf flag is the most common battle flag equipped by the Xiliang army, of course, this green wolf flag is also divided into large, medium and small three, respectively, indicating the establishment and strength of the army.

The Black Wolf Banner is the exclusive battle flag of the most powerful army in Western Liang, and the Black Wolf Banner army is also known as the "Army of the Son of Heaven", which is the army personally commanded by Emperor Xiliang and has the strongest combat effectiveness, but because in recent years, Emperor Liang Tian of Western Liang is old and rarely leads troops to fight, so this Black Wolf Banner is rare.

And now this red wolf flag is the flag of the prince, but I don't know which of the three princes of Xiliang is leading the troops, he has heard that among the three princes, the eldest prince Liang Qianjun is brave and strategic, the second prince Liang Qianrong is skilled in power and scheming, and rarely fights, while the third prince Liang Qianwu is good at fighting.

I hope it's Liang Qianrong's soldiers!

Guo Jing thought so, because Zheng Zhijing, the defender of Liangzhou, was Liang Qianrong's person, so every time he attacked Liangzhou, there was thunder and rain, which must be related to Liang Qianrong's instructions!

Although he didn't know what the meaning of this prince's army was here, Guo Jing had a very bad premonition in his heart, and he only hoped that it was Liang Qianrong......

"Who's there!"

Suddenly, a shout sounded from their side, and when they turned their heads, they saw that it was a scout of the Western Liang Army standing there on horseback, and after discovering the Tang Army outfit on their bodies, they burst into cheers, and then blew the horn in their hands!

"Woo-woo!"

The horn is sounding regularly with intervals, as long as you are a soldier, you can hear this is the most common warning signal in the army, used to remind your army that there is an enemy situation!

Sure enough, as soon as this trumpet sounded, all the Western Liang troops under the high hill picked up the weapons in their hands, looked up, and directly pulled out their weapons after seeing Guo Jing and a few people!

Guo Jing secretly said that it was not good, put the arrow into the bow, and shot towards the scout.

Because the distance was too close, the scout did not dare to be careless, and simply flipped off his horse and rolled down the high hill......

"Let's go!"

Guo Jing shouted, stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and galloped away directly, and the others did not slack off when they saw this, so they turned around and followed......

And Liang Qianwu under the high hill had already walked out of the tent, he rushed from Shangjing to the direction of Liangzhou overnight, and only arrived here in the morning, so he camped and rested for a long time.

In the tent, he heard the sound of the horn, and when he came out, he asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report to the Third Prince, just now our scouts found that a group of cavalry from Xiliang was only a hundred and ten meters away from us, as if they were observing us!"

"Oh?"

Liang Qianwu's face was not good, this time his action was covert, in order to attack suddenly, one blow fatal! He must take Liangzhou, so that he can be a bargaining chip for the next battle for the throne!

If these cavalry are allowed to go back to ventilate and report the news, and the defenders of Liangzhou are prepared in advance, it will not be good for him to attack the city!

"Send someone to take them down for me!"

"Yes!"

As a result, a large group of Xiliang cavalry went into battle lightly and chased in the direction of Guo Jing and their escape......

…………

Guo Jing regretted it a little now, he regretted that he should have retreated quickly after observing the enemy's behavior, after all, they were only here to find out information, to act as scouts, not to fight!

The most important thing scouts should abide by is to find out the information quickly and accurately, don't stay for a long time, and don't engage head-to-head!

But today he made a mistake, and the consequences are terrible!

Although the soldiers he brought this time were very well-made, and the war horses were also carefully selected, but after all, they had been out for a few days, and neither the people nor the horses had enough rest, and no matter how good their horses were, how could they be better than those war horses in Xiliang that galloped on the grassland every day?

So after running for a while, the Xiliang cavalry behind them got closer and closer to them, Guo Jing knew that they couldn't run, so he shouted and stopped directly.

Seeing this, the others also immediately stopped, and soon put on a battle formation, holding their weapons, and looked coldly at the Xiliang cavalry who surrounded them!

They are all veterans who have followed Guo Jing on the battlefield for many years, and now they can naturally maintain this kind of composure in this situation.

After the Xiliang cavalry said that after surrounding them in a circle, they did not choose to move, but kept their distance, as if they were waiting for someone to come.

It didn't take long for a gap to split in the middle of the Xiliang cavalry, and then a young man riding a black horse slowly approached, and he was followed by an old acquaintance of Guo Jing - Zheng Zhijing, the guard general of Liangzhou!

Zheng Zhijing is the second prince Liang Qianrong's person, which is not a secret in the Western Liang court, so Liang Qianwu did not want to take him with him this time.

In his opinion, you can't beat Liangzhou for so many years, and you are still your competitor, isn't taking him with you like taking a mole?

So he originally refused, but his father Liang Tian ordered him to accept Zheng Zhijing, otherwise he would not attack Liangzhou!

In fact, Liang Tian is also well-intentioned, after all, Zheng Zhijing has been in Liangzhou for so many years, and he is very familiar with the situation in Liangzhou, and he is old and has experienced a lot of things, if Liang Qianwu encounters any emergency, he can also help with ideas.

But Liang Qianwu didn't know this, although he was reluctant, he still came out with Zheng Zhijing, and he also figured it out, since you follow me, then I will have a good fight, take Liangzhou down for you to see, and you can go back and tell your master, who is the first warrior in Xiliang!

However, Liang Qianwu took Zheng Zhijing really right, Zheng Zhijing was a little surprised when he saw Guo Jing in the crowd, and then his face was overjoyed, and he stepped forward and whispered something to Liang Qianwu......
