Chapter 51: The Green Tooth Xuanwei
Under the spring sun, Qingzhou Mu Jiaohe's convoy slowly marched towards Luoyang under the escort of Qingzhou Iron Guard, and only walked thirty miles on the official road in a day's journey, and it was getting late, Chen Zhi found an open place to set up camp.
The Qingcheng Iron Guard built some simple defensive buildings, and Qingzhou Mu's vehicles were guarded by the Qingzhou Iron Guard in the middle.
Jiao He got out of the luxurious carriage and sat in the carriage for a day, Jiao He was also a little tired, Jiao He stretched his waist and moved his muscles.
"Adult"
Jiao He looked back and saw that Qingcheng Captain Chen Zhi was behind him, Jiao He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Zhi said in a low voice, "There is always an ominous premonition among subordinates, can we rush overnight?" ”
Jiao He's expression revealed exhaustion: "Do you want to exhaust Lord Ben?" ”
Chen Zhi dared to hurriedly replied, "My subordinates don't dare"
Jiao He pointed around the carriage, at this moment, the family members of the state pastoral government on the carriage also got out of the carriage, most of these family members are weak women, who have experienced this, and the day's carriage and horses are tired, so that they chatter and complain constantly.
"Hey" Chen Zhi shook his head helplessly, he was really helpless, now his team was simply guilty of a taboo.
Jiao He also saw Chen Zhi's worries, and Jiao He didn't blindly blame Chen Zhi, after all, he was also a Qingzhou Mu, and he also knew a little bit about those tricks of manipulating people, and he knew that whether he could get to Luoyang alive would depend on his Qingcheng Iron Guard.
Jiao He patted him on the shoulder, "Chen Zhi, don't worry, the Qingcheng Iron Guard is the elite of my Qingzhou land elite, and those moth thieves are completely vulnerable in front of the Qingzhou Iron Guard."
Jiao He continued, "You go to the housekeeper and ask him to give fifty taels of silver to each of the brothers of the Qingzhou Iron Guard, and when you get to Luoyang, there will be a heavy reward."
Chen Zhi nodded, worriedly went to find the housekeeper of the State Pastoral Mansion, Jiao He looked at the back of Chen Zhi leaving, smiled and said to himself, "I don't believe that anyone will have trouble with money."
Jiao He hummed a minor tune and returned to the carriage.
Not far from the camping, several figures appeared in the darkness, and these figures looked at the noisy military camp in front of them from a distance, and the song and dance of the warbler and swallow kept coming out of the barracks.
In the dark, a bearded man whispered to the people around him, "This Qingzhou Iron Guard is worthy of being the elite army of Qingzhou, you see that there are so many women in the team, look at us, all the big men who are all the same mothers."
"Hehe, what do you know, it's called a combination of work and rest," another thin man replied.
"Okay, be quiet" Another man in Confucian clothes said in a low voice, this man in Confucian clothes is Bu Si, the commander of the Qingzhou Qu of the Yellow Turban Army, at this moment he frowned and looked ahead, thinking for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I see!" ”
"Qu Shuai, what is this?" The burly man looked at Bu Si and asked,
Bu Si turned around and said to the thin man beside him, "Bian Xi, you continue to monitor here"
"Okay" The thin man named Bian Xi nodded in agreement, Bu Si got up and said to the others, "The others will go back with me"
In the tent of the commander of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army camp, Bu Si picked up a Qingzhou military map, Bu Si looked at the location and walking route of the Qingzhou Iron Guard on the map, Bu Si showed a smile on his face, sure enough, this Qingcheng Iron Guard is protecting important people to escape, who can Qingzhou let the Qingcheng Iron Guard guard? Obviously, only Qingzhou Mujiao is peaceful! This is a good opportunity, if the Qingzhou he is responsible for kills Qingzhou Mu, then his position in the Taiping Dao will be even higher.
Bu Si's eyes wandered on the map, and finally his eyes were fixed in one place, Bu Si patted the map and said to the people in the tent, "Immediately select the elite and prepare for battle"
"Okay" The generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the tent took orders one after another, and only a bearded man remained, and Bu Si said to the bearded man, "Guan Hai, you follow me"
"Good" The bearded man who was called Guan Hai nodded, Bu Si glanced at the map, his hand trembled a little because of excitement, the map was a little wrinkled, and the folded place on the map is called the East River Ferry, there is a river at the junction of Qingzhou, and this East River Ferry is the fastest road from Qingzhou to Yanzhou.
In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, several Yellow Turban generals were ready to go, Bu Si waved his hand, and in an instant, these Yellow Turban generals led their soldiers to roar away, and there was still a team left in front of the tent, and this team was a little different from the Yellow Turban Army that just left. Whether it is armor or weapons, it is better than other Yellow Turban troops, this team is burly and tall, holding two spears, and the whole body is wrapped in Xuanqing heavy armor, and only a pair of eyes are exposed on the body, looking like iron towers from a distance. This is Bu Si's direct subordinate unit Qingya Xuanwei, Bu Si began to secretly cultivate this army after knowing Zhang Jiao's intentions, this is also his trump card unit, Qingya Xuanwei belongs to the heavy infantry, the offensive and defensive capabilities are extremely high, and the cavalry is even more lethal, the only fly in the ointment is that this army is slow to act, and the mobility is insufficient.
The team wore a long yellow ribbon tied around the armor of their arms, and the wind blew and swayed with it.
Bu Si looked at this army and nodded with satisfaction, he wanted to reach the Donghe ferry before the Qingcheng Iron Guard, and the Yellow Turban Army that he sent out was just to delay the time of the Qingcheng Iron Guard, although he sent 50,000 troops, but the chance of victory was still not great. Don't look at the Qingcheng Iron Guard, there are only 5,000 horsemen, but sometimes the combat power is often not proportional to the number of soldiers, and in terms of soldiers, the number of soldiers does not affect the victory of a battle. And the elite of the troops is often the key to a victory.
Why did the former champion Hou Huo go to illness and break the 20,000 Huns with 800 horses, this is the truth.
Bu Si looked at the Qingya Xuanwei in front of him and said, "Let's go"
The green tooth Xuanwei slowly opened, and the earth seemed to tremble.
Chen Zhi lay in the camp tent, turning over and couldn't sleep, he simply got dressed, got out of the camp tent and began to patrol, he had 5,000 Qingcheng iron guards, plus more than 300 swordsmen from the state pastoral mansion, the strength was indeed not weak, as long as he did not encounter a large-scale Yellow Turban Army, his team should be able to cross the river and reach Yanzhou soon.
Chen Zhi was thinking about it, looking left and right, and it was already time at this moment. Except for the armor soldiers who were patrolling and guarding, everyone else was already asleep. The night is always so quiet, Chen Zhi came to a bonfire that has not been extinguished, although it is spring, but the night is still very cold, there are several Qingcheng guards who keep watch around the bonfire to keep warm, these Qingcheng guards heard the footsteps, looked up, and saw that it was Chen Zhi, and they got up and greeted "My lord"
Chen Zhi waved at them and motioned for them to sit down, and Chen Zhi followed them to sit down.
Chen Zhi took a wooden branch and carried the bonfire
"Well, nothing out of the ordinary, right?"
A Qingcheng iron guard replied, "No"
Chen Zhi nodded, and said earnestly, "We must be vigilant for a while, now our team's goal is too public, and if we are not careful, we may become the target of public criticism."
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he saw a Qingcheng iron guard looking at him, and he stopped talking, Chen Zhi said, "Say whatever you want."
The Qingcheng Iron Guard looked left and right, and then said with an unwilling expression, "My lord, why should we keep them to escape?" ”
Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Because this is the order of the state pastor, we are soldiers, just obey the order."
The Qingcheng Iron Guard continued unwillingly, "I just don't want to, now in the land of Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban is raging, we don't want to resist the Yellow Turban thief, but we have to keep this rice bucket and escape."
"Shhh Chen Zhi looked at the vicinity and saw that there was no one else nearby, and then took his hand away, "Just talk to me about these words, don't let others hear, I don't want to see my brother not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of his own people."
The Qingcheng Iron Guard also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head and stopped talking, and the scene became quieter for a while.
Chen Zhi looked at the vast stars in the sky, and was a little obsessed for a while.
"Whoosh~" The sound of breaking the air came, scaring Chen Zhi who was in a trance, into a cold sweat, Chen Zhi turned around and saw a feather arrow shooting quickly towards him,
"Be careful, sir!" The Qingcheng Iron Guard who was talking to Chen Zhi just now pushed Chen Zhi who was in a daze, and the feather arrow instantly shot through his armor and passed through his chest, and the Qingcheng Iron Guard's body shook and fell to the ground.
Looking at the corpse that fell to the ground in front of him, several other Qingcheng iron guards also came back to their senses, and they all drew their waist knives and shouted "enemy attack"
Chen Zhi looked at the dead Qingcheng Iron Guard in front of him, he raised his hand and closed his eyelids, as a soldier, he had long looked down on life and death.
At this time, the camp was in chaos, those family members heard the enemy attack like a swarm of headless flies are scurrying, countless torches outside the camp lit up together, shouting to kill the sky, Chen Zhi frowned, sure enough, he was worried about anything, looking at this posture, the enemy army was no less than 30,000 people, and only a lot more.
Qingcheng Tiewei is worthy of being the elite of Qingzhou's elite, and after the initial wave of arrow rain, it quickly changed into a formation.
After Chen Zhi drew his knife with a cold face and killed several chaotic family members of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion in front of him, these family members also quieted down, and they only then realized that the team in front of them was the Qingcheng Iron Guard, this team was not a docile dog, they could only protect themselves, and they could also kill them anytime and anywhere.
Jiao He watched Chen Zhi slash and kill the people in his house with a cold face, originally he wanted to say something, but in the end he thought about it and didn't speak, the current Qingcheng Iron Guard is the only life bargaining chip he can rely on, for the sake of a few family members who offend them now, he is a fool, Jiao He thinks that he is not stupid.
"Captain Chen, you are responsible for everything here."
Jiao He left these words, and took a few young and beautiful maids to hide in the luxurious carriage.
"The whole army is on the horse," Chen Zhi roared, and soon the Qingcheng Iron Guards rode on their war horses.
When he first set up camp, Chen Zhi deliberately chose this open place, firstly, to prevent the enemy from attacking at close range, and secondly, to facilitate his own assault.
Soon, a scout came to Chen Zhi's side and said, "Lord Qiyu, it's the Yellow Turban Army, the number is about 50,000."
Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows, fifty thousand? These Yellow Turban Army really looked down on their own troops, "Three teams followed me to counterattack the enemy." The second team immediately protected the state pastor and went to the East River ferry."
Chen Zhi gave the order, and soon the Qingcheng Iron Guard, led by several commanders, was assembled.
Chen Zhi pointed in front of his waist knife, "Kill!" ”
In an instant, the three Qingcheng Iron Guards of the 1,000-strong team rushed over silently like a torrent.
