Chapter Seventy-Nine: Luring the Enemy with Your Body
Guzang City, which was occupied by the Huns two months ago, changed hands in less than five years in the hands of Nanliang.
After the bald Wei Tan abandoned Guzang, he left Dasi Nong Cheng Gongxu to defend Guzang, but Hou Chen rebelled in the city, supported Jiao Lang, a wealthy clan of Guzang, as the governor of the capital, and surrendered to Fuqu Mengxun.
Although the Huns took Guzang City without much effort, the Pingxi Governor Fuqu died of serious injuries less than ten days after taking Guzang.
In today's Guzang City, sparsely populated, when the bald Wei Tan abandoned Guzang, many people in the city were taken captive to Ledu, and in the troubled times, the most important thing is land and population.
"General, it seems that this Hun is nothing more than that. Didn't you see, general, that the centurion at the gate of the city saw the gold in the money bag, and the hara was about to flow out. As soon as he left the north gate of Guzang City, Wei Liang glanced back at Guzang City and said in a low voice.
"Alright. Don't be careless, let's go. Li Yan said, his legs clamped between the horse's belly, and the horse took the lead and galloped forward.
At the head of Guzang City, a general in gold armor was patrolling, only to see him with a black beard, a broad face, long shoulders and a round waist, and a pair of eyes staring directly at the horse team under the city.
This person is Fuqu Mengxun's cousin Fuqu Mashiko, who has just taken over from Fuqu who was seriously injured and died, and became the general of Guzang, and was named the general of Zhenjing and the assassin of Qinzhou.
"These horses are long and strong, with long legs, and although they carry goods, it is clear that they are definitely not ordinary caravans that can have such a caravan. Especially the horse in the lead, even the general's mount is inferior to it. Someone came, and the horse team below was stopped by Ben General. ”
"Yes."
"The general has an order to stop the horse team that was released out of the city, and there must be no mistake."
With the order of Fuqu Yizi, in Guzang City, more than 100 iron horsemen roared out and chased after Li Yan and others.
"General, there are Huns chasing after you." Wei Liang heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and turned around to see a puff of smoke and dust billowing behind him, and the Huns were chasing after him.
"Ignore it, go through the valley ahead." Li Yan looked back at the back, and then said loudly.
"Yes. Checkmate. Brothers, follow up and go through the valley ahead. ”
At the north gate of Guzang City, the centurion guarding the gate knelt tremblingly in front of Fuqu Mashiko, sweating profusely on his head, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell to the ground.
"General, the little one is greedy for a while, and I beg the general to spare the little one's life." The centurion knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"These people must be Li Yan and his entourage, in the future, the king has strictly ordered the general to strictly check the large group of people to the west, but you ignore the king's orders, covet these goods so that Li Yan and his party are released from the city, come here. Drag the man down and behead him for public display. Listening to the centurion's explanation, Mashiko's face darkened with anger, and Li Yan and his party actually went out of the city from under their noses.
"The general spares his life. The little ones don't dare anymore. When the centurion heard that he was going to behead himself, he was so frightened that he desperately tried to break free from the hands of the two sergeants.
With an "ahh
"Come, hurry up and follow the general to chase and kill Li Yan, and immediately inform the auxiliary general Zang Mozi of Xijun, and say that Li Yan and his party have passed Guzang and are fleeing to the north, let him take care of it himself." Frustrated Mashiko commanded the guards behind her.
"Obey, general, rest assured." The guards behind Mashiko took the order.
North of Guzang City.
"General, there are thieves in front to intercept you." Wei Liang looked at the valley in front of him with dozens of Hun soldiers guarding, and his face changed drastically.
"Steady, don't be impulsive. Do what I command. ”
In the blink of an eye, Li Yan and his entourage came to the checkpoint before the valley.
It was guarded by about thirty or forty Huns, and on either side were thorny cliffs, with two rows of horses in the middle.
"Stop! What do you do? ”
"Master Jun, we are a caravan to and from the Western Regions, you see, these are all silk sold to the Western Regions, please make it convenient for Master Jun." After Wei Liang got off the horse, he said with a smile on his face to the Huns who came forward to investigate. The money bag in his hand was stuffed in the hands of the sergeant.
"No, all dismount, we can't go over until we check it." The Huns in the checkpoint drew their swords one by one and glared at everyone.
When Wei Liang heard this, he was very anxious, the pursuers of Guzang City were coming, this place was too close to Guzang City, if it was delayed any longer, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wei Liang glanced at Li Yan, Li Yan nodded, and the horizontal knife in his hand was already unsheathed.
"Kill them."
The horizontal knife in Wei Liang's hand slashed the throat of the Huns who stepped forward to interrogate, and the Huns covered their throats with frightened faces, their mouths gurgling, and blood kept spurting out of their throats.
The Huns in the checkpoint saw Wei Liang and killed one person in an instant, and dozens of people killed Li Yan and them.
"Quick! The city's pursuers are coming. Li Yan knocked down a Hun man, looked back at the smoke and dust billowing behind him, and more and more pursuers came.
"General, let's go."
After a while, the horse in the middle of the road had been carried aside by several blood wolf guards, and a hole had been opened in the checkpoint, and more than twenty Huns had fallen on the ground.
"General, go quickly, leave us alone." Five or six blood wolf guards desperately stopped the remaining dozen or so Huns in the checkpoint, and they were all injured in order to move away from the horses.
"General, there's no time, the Huns are coming, let's go." Wei Liang cut down the Huns in front of him with a knife, got on his horse and said.
Li Yan could already hear the shouts of the Huns chasing behind him, and if he didn't leave at this moment, he was afraid that he would be left here by the Huns.
"General, let's go. Don't let the brothers die in vain. Wei Liang wiped the blood off his face and hurriedly urged.
"Except for dry food and water, everything else was thrown away, and Ben rushed over." Li Yan ordered everyone to throw away the goods on horseback, and now that the Huns have discovered themselves, there is no need to hide it.
"Stop them, don't let them go." The pursuers who had been chasing from Guzang City shouted loudly.
"Brothers, I, Li Yan, am sorry for you." Li Yan said secretly in his heart.
Just when Li Yan led the blood wolf guards to rush through the checkpoint, several blood wolf guards who stayed behind to block the Huns finally couldn't support it.
Mashiko led five hundred soldiers to the checkpoint, looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, his face full of anger.
"The general is angry, General Gu has already led the army to chase and kill Li Yan and his party, the north is a vast desert, I believe that Li Yan and they will not escape." The guard beside Fuqu Mashiko bowed his head and said.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Frustrated Qu Mashiko looked at the horizontal knife in the hand of the blood wolf guard who died on the ground, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Fuqu Mashiko leaned over and picked up a horizontal knife, looking at the bright white horizontal knife, Fuqu Mashiko's face changed.
"What a knife! Could these weapons be from the Jin Kingdom? If my Daliang warrior has such a sword, why can't he dominate Hexi. ”
