Chapter 454 takes Cheng Qianli

Chapter 454 takes Cheng Qianli

In the dawn of dawn, Zhang Xuan leaned down and looked down, only to see a cavalry team of the Turquoise Shi people wielding bright scimitars, shouting fiercely, and galloping on horseback.

It can be seen that this is another group of Turkish stragglers who came out from the direction of Devil City to plunder, and the number is not large, it should be less than a thousand people.

Therefore, Nan Jiyun was not panicked, and Zhang Xuan was not afraid.

With 500 soldiers under his command, Nan Jiyun was an elite warrior who had experienced a hundred battles, and was selected from hundreds of thousands of troops to protect the emperor's personal guards. Moreover, if the elite and brave division that is well-equipped and equipped with sufficient firearms ♀ can't even defeat a straggler of the Turks, then Nan Jiyun should crash to the south wall.

Nan Jiyun reacted quickly, and his 500 soldiers were also quick to react.

After a moment of panic and gathering of the merchant guards on the hillside, Nan Jiyun had already led his subordinates to raise their spears and shout to rush down the hillside.

Zhang Xuan was there with Baojiao in his hand, his face solemn.

The Eighteen Iron Guards held the Mo knife in their hands across their chests and protected him on his left and right.

Guo Fu and Li Tengkong were dressed in strong suits, holding their swords and looking around with a somewhat nervous expression, the safety of their emperor.

Nan Jiyun led the army to rush down the hillside and suddenly pointed his spear. The 500 guards stopped the horses' hooves abruptly, and their movements were uniform.

"Divine Fire Crow, prepare!"

Nan Jiyun shouted.

He's ready to use a firearm. Although, in his eyes, the use of firearms against this trooper straggler, which is less than a thousand people, is somewhat of a fuss, and even reveals their identities. But the emperor was on the hillside, and he had to be 100% safe, and Nan Jiyun didn't dare to take a little risk.

"Put!"

With Nan Jiyun's order, the 500 well-trained guards launched the rockets in their hands, and the dense rockets flickered with fire, streaked across the dawn sky, and whistled towards the team of the Turgish.

The Turgish people plundered from the camp of another merchant, and they were full of spirit, and when it came to combat effectiveness, the Turgish cavalry was not much worse than the Tubo cavalry, and belonged to the warlike race among the Turks.

But the Turgish Shi He had seen this kind of legendary firearm, when the rocket fell and the first violent explosion occurred, their formation immediately became a mess, and many of the Turgish cavalry were killed and injured by this sudden divine weapon, the horses neighed, screamed continuously, and began to trample on each other.

"Rush to the past, annihilate on the spot!" Nan Jiyun shouted violently.

500 Protectors rushed over, and the Turks were already panicked and disrupted, and they were immediately completely crushed, some scattered and fled, while others were cut off from their horses by the Protectors.

Nan Jiyun took a bow and arrows, shot an escaped Turkish cavalry off his horse, and roared, "Chase after you, and no one is allowed to escape!" ”

……

……

This skirmish came in a hurry, and ended in a hurry. Just on the high slope, the Qarlu merchants and the escorts were stunned, and in less than an hour, Nan Jiyun led 500 guards to end the battle, leaving the corpses of the Tuqi cavalry on the battlefield not far away.

Not one escaped, and all were annihilated on the spot. None of Nan Jiyun's 500 soldiers were killed, and only a dozen were slightly injured.

However, as a result, these hundreds of Qarlu merchants and their escorts suddenly woke up, and it turned out that this group of merchants from the Central Plains was not really merchants, but ...... It's the regular army of the Chinese dynasty!

And this young man who was guarded by the guards...... It shouldn't be an ordinary person, and his identity is extraordinary. Many Qarluq businessmen looked complicated and even turned their heads to look at Zhang Xuan with some fear, but none of them dared to come forward to talk.

The Turgish woman looked shocked and hid outside the crowd, her eyes flickering slightly.

She suddenly found that Zhang Xuan turned around and glanced over, and quickly lowered her head in awe.

Because in front of a group of Qarluq merchants, Nan Jiyun couldn't make a great gift to the monarch and ministers, but just hugged his fists and said in a low voice, "Master, all the Turks and Shi people have been annihilated!" ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan nodded, turned his head to look around at the Qarlu caravan gathered on the other side, and said lightly, "Nanba, it seems that we can't continue to walk with them, pass the order, immediately pull out the camp and set off, gallop Balikun!" I want to go and see Cheng Qianli immediately! ”

Although Zhang Xuan's voice was low, it hid endless anger.

Just outside the Balikun City, the Zhifu where the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate is located, it can be said that under Cheng Qianli's nose, there are even Turks robbing merchants everywhere, what does this mean? It means that Cheng Qianli's Beiting Protectorate and its nearly 20,000 garrisons are all virtual decorations.

This is no longer a matter of Cheng Qianli's cowardice and incompetence, but a serious dereliction of duty, and the dignity of the court has been completely degraded.

Nan Jiyun sighed in his heart, didn't dare to say anything, and immediately packed up his belongings, escorted Zhang Xuan, Li Tengkong, and Guo Fu galloped down the high slope, bathed in the morning glow, and galloped in the direction of Balikun.

As the sun set, Zhang Xuan led the team to Balikun City.

Balikun City, also known as Dahe City, was built by the Yiwu Army, which was originally a military castle, and later gradually developed into a big city in Beiting.

The city is rectangular, divided into the main city and the attached city, the east and west side by side, only a wall between each other, and there is a doorway in the middle of the city wall. The main city is more than ten miles long from north to south and several miles wide from east to west. The walls are nearly 10 meters high and 12 meters wide.

There is a gate in the west wall, and the door is 4 meters wide. The east wall is the west wall of the attached city, except that there is a door road in the middle to enter and exit the main city, there are three horse faces in the attached city, one at the north end of the doorway, and two at the south end.

There are corner towers at the four corners of the city wall, but from the perspective of Zhang Xuan and others, there are no sentinels guarding the corner towers.

Although the gates are open, the flow of people entering and exiting is very scarce. The direction of the military camp in the wilderness west of the city is even more deserted, if it weren't for the military flag fluttering in the wind, if it weren't for the neighing of war horses from time to time, Zhang Xuan would have doubted whether this was an empty camp.

Zhang Xuan frowned, straddled the horse and was silent.

Nan Jiyun said respectfully on the side, "Your Majesty, did the minister enter the city to inform Cheng Qianli and let Cheng Qianli go out of the city to greet him?" ”

The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head, "No need to ∵ first, I'll wait to enter the city." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xuan took the lead in galloping.

Before arriving at the city gate, several soldiers guarding the gate saw that Zhang Xuan had a large entourage and several carriages, all dressed as Han Chinese, so they guessed that they were big businessmen from the Central Plains.

However, Balikun did not belong to the necessary place for merchants, and merchants from the Central Plains to the Western Regions rarely entered this city, so the arrival of Zhang Xuan and others aroused the suspicion of the soldiers.

A small leader, Nir's military man, waved the spear in his hand and shouted in a thick Guanzhong tone, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Nan Jiyun stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are merchants from Zhongjing, and we are going to Hanhai City to do business, passing through here, please allow us to enter the city and rest overnight." ”

"This city is the Beiting Capital Protectorate City, and it does not accept merchants, so you should go back the way you came. Besides, the Hanhai City in front of you is already the territory of the Turgish people, didn't the original merchants among you kill themselves in the past? "After all, they are compatriots from their homeland, and although the attitude of the military is not friendly, it is obviously a good intention.

Nan Jiyun said deliberately, "Ah! Isn't Hanhai City a place under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court and the Northern Court Protectorate? A certain family also passed through Hanhai City last year to sell leather goods to Wusu, why was it occupied by the Turks this year? ”

Jun Han frowned, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "Less nonsense! I told you, if you can't go, you can't go! Let me tell you the truth, the road is full of turk thieves, who specialize in plundering merchants, especially rich people like you from the Central Plains. If you don't want to die, you quickly return to Yiwu and go to Gaochang instead. ”

Nan Jiyun repeatedly interceded with the military Han and wanted to go into the city to rest for the night, but the military Han just refused to let him go ♀, but it was not that the military Han deliberately found fault, obviously this city has been listed as a city of military tun, and there is no function of residential and commercial affairs. In addition to the various yamen of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate in the city, that is, the garrison office.

Zhang Xuan was a little impatient, and he could also see that if he didn't reveal his identity today, he wouldn't be able to enter this Balikun City.

At the thought of this, he coughed lightly twice.

Nan Jiyun understood, immediately turned pale, took out the emperor's royal gold medal and held it high in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up and report Cheng Qianli, Your Majesty has arrived!" Li Guifei Niangniang and Duanfei Niangniang arrived! ”

As he spoke, the eighteen iron guards and the 500 guards all took off their outer robes, revealing the leather armor inside.

The soldier guarding the door almost peed his pants in fright, and stayed there for a while, unable to react.

He was in a small border town where this kind of bird didn't, how could he have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would appear in front of him.

Nan Jiyun shouted violently, "Why don't you hurry up and report Cheng Qianli?" ”

……

……

500 soldiers lined up and waited, Li Tengkong and Guo Fu stood on their sides, and behind them was Nan Jiyun, who was dressed in a general's armor and majestic.

The earth-shattering snare drum sounded, dense footsteps came, and Cheng Qianli hurried out of the city in his official robes, followed by more than 100 officials and generals of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

Cheng Qianli hurriedly glanced at it, and when he saw that it was indeed the emperor who arrived, he immediately bowed down in fear, and led a group of officials to shout loudly, "Your Majesty and the two ladies have arrived, and the ministers have missed the welcome, and they deserve death!" Long live my emperor, long live! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

Behind Zhang Xuan, 500 guards also knelt down and shouted long live together.

The Turgish woman who was standing on the periphery with a few handymen stared at the carriage with a shocked face, and also knelt down in fear. Although she guessed that Zhang Xuan's identity was extraordinary, she never expected that the person who saved her in Yiwu City was actually His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Dynasty.

Zhang Xuan strode forward, glared at Cheng Qianli, and said loudly, "Come on, take Cheng Qianli down to me!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan's words came out, the two fierce soldiers behind Nan Jiyun rushed forward and detained Cheng Qianli to the ground.

Cheng Qianli shouted in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, what is the crime of the ministers?" ”

The more than 100 subordinate generals behind him also looked up in astonishment and looked at the emperor.
