Chapter 516: The Desert is Lonely

Liangzhou, Dunhuang County, Dunhuang County!

"Thank you to the subordinates for cultivating in the Ming Court, if the subordinates are lucky enough to be on the list, the grace of the Ming Court, the subordinates are unforgettable!"

"Hey, the virtuous brother will see the outside when he says this! Although you and I are in the far northwest of this big man, since the prime minister still has an announcement here, it means that the prime minister has not forgotten us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Besides, the virtuous brother is a talented person, if he stays in this small Dunhuang County, wouldn't he bury the talent. Go ahead! The prosperity of Chang'an City will make you forget to return! ”

"The subordinates don't dare to see the difference, and they don't dare to forget the good news of the subordinates such as Mingting!"

"Virtuous brother, don't you think that we are the ones who seek retribution for gratitude? Okay, let's go, don't let Xun Envoy's carriage wait for a long time! ”

In the long wind and sand, a carriage with the logo of the state and the governor was waiting quietly, and on both sides of the carriage there were two soldiers whose armor was already stained with wind and dust standing straight.

"In that case, brother, take care!"

"Brother Xian, take care!"

This carriage was sent by Xun Yu to Dunhuang County to welcome the students who went to the state administration office to take the state examination. According to the regulations sent by Cao De earlier, this carriage was originally undertaken by Dunhuang County. However, Dunhuang County is a disaster victim except for sand, so how can there be spare financial and material resources to send students to take exams. Therefore, Xun Yu sent the carriage in his house.

"Big brothers, hard work!"

"Hurry up and get in the car, delay the hour again. I'm afraid I'll miss the time for the state exam! ”

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

The carriage left the county town of Dunhuang and began to return eastward. But at about the same time. In Yumen Pass, which is further west of Dunhuang County, a major event happened here!

β€œduang ~~ duang ~~……”

The rapid and dull bell rang through the heavens and the earth, and in the Yumen Pass, the Yumen general, who had just returned to the residence in the pass, immediately ran to the wall before he had time to finish his tea.

As he ran, he yelled, "Quick, on guard! Everyone, close the wall! Hurry up ......"

This is the bell of the enemy attack, and it is from the side of Yumen Pass.

The Jade Keeper ran halfway through and met the soldiers on duty who came to look for him.

"What's going on? Why Ring the Bell? ”

"General! Ten miles outside the pass, the sky is full of sand, and the general on duty thinks that the army is coming, so he rings the bell! ”

"What? Ten miles away? Isn't it a sandstorm? The Jade Gate General asked with some luck.

"General, we have also been here for more than two years at Yumen Pass, and the sandstorm and the large-scale cavalry march are still clearly distinguished!" The soldier's answer made the Jade Keeper's heart sink to the bottom all of a sudden!

Yumen Pass, here is the dividing line between Liangzhou and the Western Regions, and it is also one of the first lines of defense for Liangzhou to resist the attack of the Western Regions. Since Liangzhou was taken by Cao De, Cao De has selected ten of the best soldiers from the heavy hammer camp to defend on this national border!

In the past two years, the jade goalkeeper has not seen the scene of yellow sand flying in the sky. But those were either sandstorms or the men and horses of the Western Regions fighting in the distance. However, they never came within twenty miles of Yumen Pass.

However, there were once defeated soldiers who asked for help in the direction of Yumen Pass, but at that time, no pursuers dared to approach within ten miles of Yumen Pass!

But now, here they are! But what exactly is their purpose?

The Jade Gate will come to the wall as fast as possible. At this moment, outside the wall, a stream of yellow sand flew in the sky. It was indeed due to the march of the cavalry that caused the yellow sand to fly.

The team was already getting closer and closer to the Jade Gate Pass. However, judging by the speed of the yellow sand, it seems that their purpose is not going to stop!

"Quick, alert! Level 2 Alert! The Jade Gate General said loudly to the lieutenant general beside him.

"Yes!" The adjutant general agreed, and immediately turned around and ran out. While running, he shouted heartbreakingly: "Be on guard! Alert! Level 2 Alert! ……”

Brush, brush, brush......

A famous archer appeared, and they lined up at the front of the women's wall, the bow and arrow behind them had reached the palm of the right hand, and the left hand was bent behind the back, pinching the tail of an arrow that had been missed.

And such an archer has three rows, and after the first row of archers releases their arrows, he immediately retreats, and then the second archer fills in. And just when the archers in the first row were behind, the archers in the second row were already on the strings.

Step forward, aim, fire your arrows, and back off! A third archer took over. Repeating the second archer's movements.

They've practiced this for thousands of times, so it's all natural. In this way, although it is impossible to form an arrow curtain of ten thousand arrows, it can form the densest arrow rain.

However, just as the soldiers were getting ready, suddenly a cavalry sprang out from a sand dune. He ran unscrupulously to twenty steps away from the wall of the Jade Gate.

And the archer behind the female wall immediately pulled the bowstring in his hand as soon as he saw this knight.

The jade gate general raised his hand and signaled the soldiers to be calm. "Who's coming?"

"I am under the command of General Ding Chong, the envoy of the Western Regions. General Ding Chong was chased and killed by the Che Shiren, please send troops to rescue him quickly! The knight yelled anxiously at the close.

"What? General Ding Chong is being hunted down? When the jade gate general heard this, he only felt a buzzing sound in his head.

Three months ago, a huge team was ushered in on this side of Yumen Pass. The leader is the people of the Liangzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion. Although there were 2,000 men in this huge army, the main ones were only forty. And they were going to envoy Ding Chong and his party in the Western Regions.

Three months ago, Ding Chong arrived at Yumen Pass. Ding Chong was ready to follow the old path of his ancestors, starting from Yumen Pass, and then starting from the north to gradually move westward, and after arriving at the Dayue Clan, he would go around from the south and return to Yumen Pass to complete the mission.

However, it has only been three months, and Ding Chong has returned, and he has been chased and killed!

Although the Jade Goalkeeper was shocked in his heart, this news was too shocking, so the Jade Goalkeeper didn't dare to trust anyone easily!

"Do you have a certificate?"

When the knight heard this, he immediately took out two tokens from his bosom.

"This is my token, one is the White Tiger Rider, and the other is the envoy of the Western Regions! Please take a look at the general! ”

As he spoke, the knight tied two tokens to one of the arrows, bent his bow and took the arrows, and the tokens and arrows flew up to the city.

The Jade Gate General who got the token had already determined the identity of the other party without looking at the token, because if the enemy was pretending, he would definitely not have the token of the White Tiger Ride!

"Open the door at once, and get the brothers ready!" The Jade Gate General took the token and ran towards the gate.

"Brethren, saddle up and get ready to attack!"

"No!"

We have always been the only ones who bully others, and you little chariot masters still dare to hunt down and kill our envoys from the Western Regions! I really don't know how to write the word "death"!

The closing door of the Jade Gate Gate opened as quickly as possible, and the Jade Gate General quickly came to the envoy's side, "Brother, how many Che Masters are there?" ”

"There are less than 1,000 horsemen, please send troops quickly, there are less than ten people around General Ding!" The White Tiger Rider almost knelt down for the Jade Keeper.

As soon as the White Tiger Rider's words fell, the sound of hooves in the Jade Gate Pass was loud.

"Look, the brothers are coming!"

"Thank you, General!"
