Chapter 1119: Fulfilling the Mission
readx; I was really afraid of something, seeing that Ma Qianxue was about to arrive in Jizhou, but was discovered by a small group of Manchu cavalry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The number of cavalry in this group was not very large, that is, twenty or thirty horsemen. But Ma Qianxue is only one person, and in order to save weight and reduce physical exertion as much as possible, in addition to skis and ski poles, she only carries a lancet to defend herself. Once surrounded by enemies, there is only one way to die.
This group of cavalry had been sent by Amin here to reconnoiter the movements of the Ming army in Jizhou, and they had been entrenched in a nearby village for many days, and they had to go out for a circle every day during the day. The Ming army in Jizhou didn't move, and they didn't want to meet a skier today.
Even from a distance, the cavalry spotted a young woman on the other side. Although they didn't know what this woman was going to do, in the eyes of these inhuman robbers, this woman was like a little white rabbit jumping on the snow, and of course they would not let go of such a cute prey.
So the leading officer shouted, and more than 20 horsemen immediately chased down Ma Qianxue. Ma Qianxue knew that something was wrong, and immediately burst out with two hundred percent of her strength, desperately sliding towards the west.
Thanks to the early snowfall, the flat field is like a thick quilt, and the snow is a foot deep. Although the cavalry of the Eight Banners spurred the horse, it was a deep pit when the horse's hooves were stepped on, and the war horse's hooves were extremely laborious, and they couldn't run fast at all. Ma Qianxue is also very talented in skiing, so she can maintain the same speed as the pursuers.
But after all, Ma Qianxue has been skiing cross-country for a day and a night, if you add the long journey before occupying Luanzhou City, she has not closed her eyes for two days and two nights, even if she is strong in martial arts, it is now the end of the strong crossbow. After sliding forward two or three miles away, Ma Qianxue gradually lost his strength, and the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, seeing that they were already less than a hundred paces, and entered the range of bows and arrows.
However, the Manchu cavalry did not want to shoot the woman, and wanted to take it alive so that they could go back and ravage it in turn, so although they also fired arrows frequently, they did not aim and shoot.
Rao is like this, and sharp arrows still whizz past Ma Qianxue. Ma Qianxue was really anxious, she felt that her death in battle was still a trivial matter, if the transmission of the message was delayed, Li Dingguo and the 2,000 Ming army in Luanzhou would be in great danger, and she was sorry for Li Dingguo's trust and entrustment.
Therefore, she gritted her teeth and was ruthless, and simply threw off the coat and cotton clothes on her body, and slid hard in the snow with only thin clothes. At this time, she didn't feel cold at all, on the contrary, she was already sweating hot, and her physical strength had reached an unprecedented limit!
But manpower could not be compared with horsepower in any way, and after sliding out of the road for three or four miles, the pursuers behind him were even closer, not even sixty paces. The Qing army chased a woman for more than 20 horses, and after chasing for so long, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and he didn't show mercy to his subordinates, and the sharp iron arrows kept leaving the string, all of them greeted Ma Qianxue's back.
Ma Qianxue had to take a breath and walked in a winding way on the snow, her elegant and elegant posture was just like the athletes in the cross-country skiing competition in her previous life, and countless iron arrows fell short. But those athletes are just trying to create good results, and Ma Qianxue is fighting against death!
ran west for more than a mile like this, and Ma Qianxue really had no strength. Not far ahead was a dense wood, of course, by this time the leaves had long since fallen and only the bare trunks remained. But Ma Qianxue didn't even have the strength to rush into the woods, and her heart sank suddenly, knowing that she couldn't be spared.
Since she couldn't run, she stopped running, and immediately stopped on the spot, and with the last bit of strength she untied the skis from her legs, and stood in the snow with her knife panting rapidly, waiting for the pursuers to come over. She decided to have a final fight with these Tartar cavalry, and if she could kill one, she would earn one, and if she couldn't do it, she would kill herself, and she would never fall into the hands of the enemy soldiers and be humiliated, let alone divulge the military secrets of the Ming army.
Seeing that Ma Qianxue couldn't run, the Qing army stopped shooting arrows and outflanked him with a cruel smile.
Seeing that Ma Qianxue was about to stain the snowfield with blood, suddenly a crisp gunshot broke the silence on the field. A rain of blood erupted from the head of a cavalryman who rushed to the front, and he fell from his horse!
Before the Qing soldiers could react, gunfire rang out in the direction of the woods, as dense as bursting beans, and more than 20 people were shot down more than a dozen in the blink of an eye. The rest of them ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, but they still turned around angrily and fired arrows at Ma Qianxue frequently, intending to shoot the woman who lured them into the ambush circle to death.
"Ding, ding, ding!" Ma Qianxue swung her knife with all her might, striking most of the arrows into the snow. But the officer's strength was infinite, and the last arrow he shot was too fierce for Ma Qianxue to dodge, and he hit the right shoulder. Hearing only a "poof", the arrow was nailed deep into Ma Qianxue's body, and she trembled in pain, unable to hold the lancet anymore, staggered a few steps, and fell into the ice and snow.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was quite close, and the officer saw that Ma Qianxue had been shot, and wanted to return to the horse and capture her alive. But as soon as he flicked his horse, a buckshot from a reckless gun hit him right eye and penetrated deep into his skull. Hearing only a "snap", this guy's head burst open like a watermelon, and the headless body was carried by the war horse for a short distance before it was planted off the horse.
As soon as the officer died, the other Qing soldiers did not dare to turn back, and desperately beat their horses and fled eastward. The Ming cavalry in the woods poured out like a tide at this time, but they did not shout to kill, but chased east without saying a word.
At this time, most of Ma Qianxue's body was already stained red with blood, but she still staggered to her feet and walked towards the woods. At this moment, several horses came up with a strange cart without wheels, and the two jumped out of the cart and quickly helped her up. One of them was dressed in iron armor, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his beard and hair were white; The other person was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his face still had a childish spirit, but he was a golden helmet and golden armor, and he had a majestic and calm bearing.
Ma Qianxue didn't have time to thank her, gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "I'm from Luanzhou City, and I have urgent information to tell Sun Ge Lao!" ”
The young general looked at her with concern and said, "Don't be in a hurry to say that you have lost too much blood and need a blood transfusion immediately!" ”
"I'm fine!" Ma Qianxue said stubbornly, "The military situation is urgent, and there can be no delay for a moment!" ”
"The old man is Sun Chengzong, and the girl will say whatever she has to say." The veteran said kindly.
"Really? That's great! Ma Qianxue shouted happily, immediately relayed the situation on the front line in Luanzhou, and finally said eagerly, "General Li and the 2,000 Ming Army are now in danger, and Tianjin Wei is also in danger, and I also ask Sun Ge Lao to send troops immediately, so that the Tartars will not dare to act rashly!" ”
Before the veteran could answer, the young general had already laughed and said, "I didn't expect me and Dingguo to think of going together." Rest assured, the 20,000-strong army in Jizhou has been launched! ”
"Thank goodness I'm not up to my mission!"
Ma Qianxue was relieved, her spirit immediately relaxed, and she asked a little confusedly, "What did you just say, 'array'?" Do you know General Li well, and why do you call him by his first name? ”
The veteran hurriedly reminded: "Girl, His Majesty the Emperor is here, don't lose your honor." ”
"Huh? You... Are you a saint today? Ma Qianxue's eyes widened in shock.
"It's like a fake!" The young general said with a smile.
"Ah..." Ma Qianxue's mood was agitated, her blood surged, and she fainted all of a sudden.
