Chapter 461: Sudden Change
The caravan carrying goods was still rushing in the direction of Qingtang.
This time, Zhang Yi and the others are still taking the big road.
Because the goods transported this time were far more than the previous ones, the number of people in their team was increasing, and almost all the people in the entire cottage were dispatched.
The dozen or so Tubo people were also relieved to see this battle, so many goods, not to mention anything else, when they went back, Lord Sahazhuo would definitely be rewarded.
They saw Zhang Yi and them almost emptying the entire cottage with their own eyes.
If all these goods were exchanged for silver, they would definitely be able to bury a few of them.
When the caravan departed, the Tibetans had already sent two people to rush back to report to Sahazhuo.
The quantity of this cargo is too large, and they all know that this is the most critical period for the Sahadro family, and this batch of goods is especially important to the Sahadro family.
It has to be foolproof!
They first sent someone back to report to Sahazhuo, and also reminded Sahazhuo to send people to the border, and even crossed the border to pick up Zhang Yi and others, so as to ensure that the goods could reach Qingtang safely.
The caravan had been on the road for most of the day, and when it was almost dark, it was only fifty miles from the border.
"We're almost at the border." A Tibetan man said with some excitement.
"yes." Another Tibetan man also responded: "Calculate the time, Mazhu should have arrived in Qingtang." ”
"Yes, when Mazhu arrives in Qingtang, the adults will bring someone to meet us soon after they get the news."
As long as they wait for Sahadr, then everything will be fine.
And since Sahazhuo brought most of the salt merchants under his command, a situation like the last time Zhang Yi and them were attacked almost no longer exists.
Even those people are still thieves, but so many salt merchants have withdrawn, their strength has been greatly damaged, and they will definitely not be able to send a cavalry team as powerful as last time, at most they can only send a few people over to make a small fight.
Look at Zhang Yi and their team now, there are more than 200 guards alone, plus those coachmen and others, a total of nearly 400 people, who would dare to do such a caravan easily.
Everything is safe, then what awaits them next is to enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Many people have begun to secretly congratulate themselves that they have followed the right person and climbed the big tree of Sahadro, and their lives will be extremely rich in the future.
However, while they were dreaming, smoke began to roll up on the horizon.
"Report!"
"Report to your lordship, a large number of Tang troops have been found ahead."
A scout hurried over to report the military situation.
And this was not enough, this scout had just finished speaking, and on the other side, another scout soon came to report.
"A large number of Don troops were found in the rear!"
"A large number of Tang troops were found on the left!"
"A large number of Tang troops were found on the right side!"
......
One after another information came, and the faces of Zhang Yi and the others changed greatly.
"How could so many Tang troops suddenly appear!"
Even the Tibetans panicked.
They are all veterans of battle, and looking at the smoke and dust rising in the sky, they know that the number of Tang troops dispatched this time is definitely not a few.
"My lord, what should I do?" Wang Wu asked Zhang Yi anxiously and loudly, and the escort team that was hovering around the caravan was also restless.
There are only a few hundred of them, but looking at the situation now, the number of people dispatched by these Tang troops is probably several thousand, and they will definitely not be able to resist.
"What else can I do, I feel like I'm running with the goods!"
Zhang Yi scolded, and then a horsewhip was slammed on a horse that was driving a carriage.
The horse was in pain and immediately galloped, and it was galloping with a loadload of goods.
The galloping horses soon led the whole caravan, and the whole caravan, whether it was the horses pulling the goods or the horses of the escort, were all running desperately.
"Brothers, you can follow well, once we are caught by these Tang soldiers, it will be a serious crime."
"Hurry up, everybody."
Zhang Yi kept urging, and the whip kept falling on the horses, and for a while, countless horses roared and galloped.
And those Tibetan people are still confused.
This is good, why are there so many Tang troops suddenly coming, what the hell is going on?
Is the glory and wealth they have in their hands going to fly like this?
Looking at the smoke and dust in the sky, they could only pray that Zhang Yi and the others could escape from the encirclement of the Tang army, well, they would definitely have to flee with them.
"Report to your lordship, there is also a team of Tang troops blocking the middle of the road ahead."
The scouts who were running at the front soon came news that there were already Tang troops blocking them in front.
"What to do? I can't run away from it. ”
Someone is already asking with a crying voice.
There were more than a dozen Tibetans in their caravan, and in this particularly sensitive period, if no one was there to help them protect them, it would not be too much to convict them of collaborating with the enemy, not to mention that all the goods they were carrying now were all items under official control.
It can be said that if they are caught by the Tang Army, they will not be able to run away if they are beheaded, and if they don't do it, some people will have to be punished by the Nine Clans!
"Don't panic, everyone, everything is under my command, now continue to run forward and rush over."
Zhang Yi roared, and continued to rush forward with everyone.
Although those Tubo people didn't know how heavy their responsibility was in the Tang Dynasty, but looking at those crying warriors, they knew that these things were definitely enough to choke once they were caught.
Even in their country, if they dare to sell war horses to hostile countries in large quantities, it is a capital crime.
Now the two are almost the same.
But now they don't have time to think about the difference between the two, the entire caravan is charging towards the Tang army formation in front, and they must also follow Zhang Yi's pace, they can't fall behind, falling will mean death.
They believed that during this time, the soldiers of the Tang Army would not have a good face for any of the Tuboans, and once they fell into their hands, it was a luxury to be able to die happily.
"Hold on to me, don't let these bunnies run away!"
Seeing a group of people rushing towards him like lost dogs from a distance, the Tang general immediately ordered his soldiers to do a good job of defense.
There are 500 of them, and it shouldn't be too difficult to stop these hundreds of people!
"Rush, speed up, and before rushing to the Tang Army's formation, block the large goods and wagons in front of them, and then we will go around them."
Zhang Yi shouted loudly, and at this time, the caravan had already rushed to Tang Jun.
"Put, drop the goods!"
Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Yi immediately shouted, and countless goods and carriages were immediately abandoned by the coachmen.
The horses relied on their inertia to pull carts of goods and rushed straight into the formation of the Tang army.
"Quick, retreat, retreat!"
The Tang Army was messed up like this by Zhang Yi and others, and the formation was suddenly a little chaotic, and Zhang Yi also took advantage of this time to immediately lead people to run wildly from both sides of the Tang Army's formation.
Although there will still be many people who fall off the horse on the way to escape, but who will care about those at this time, run away first!
