Chapter 36: The Captive
Ah Wu sighed...... At this time, Suide City may have already fallen into the hands of Xia Bing, and there are probably not many people in the city who can survive.
What he is most worried about now is the county lord Zhao Wanqi, Zhao Wanqi went to Baishui Mountain to look for She Yi, I don't know if he has met Xia Bing, in case he is caught, he will be in trouble......
He didn't understand what the county lord thought, even if She Yi helped, what could he do? Could it be that he could defeat the 20,000 Western Xia army by himself? This is something that will never happen.
Perhaps, the county lord was fascinated by his strange things, which is why he believed in him so much.
Ah Wu walked under a crooked willow tree and looked down at the avenue. On the avenue, there seemed to be some traces of horses' hooves, and the dirt that had been turned up was still new.
His brow furrowed......
At this moment, a fresh breeze blew from the west to the east, and the wind was faintly mixed with the sound of dense horses' hooves...... Ah Wu raised his head and turned around, looking in the direction of Suide City, according to his judgment, the dense sound of horses' hooves was at least a few hundred people, and the sound of horses' hooves was dull, obviously after a long journey, and his strength was insufficient...... There is no doubt that the one who came must have conquered the Xia army of Suide City.
I always thought that they would strengthen the city after they captured the city, and they would not chase them for the time being, but I didn't expect that they were not even willing to let go of women and children, and these Xia soldiers were brutal to the point of outrageousness.
No matter what, it is impossible for them to escape, if there is really no way, they can only let them run around, and they can live one by one.
"The summer soldiers are coming, everyone gathers at once! Where is Han Shizhong! Prepare for battle! The others left in the direction of Jiaxian Village, waiting for the opportunity. If we are defeated, we flee in all directions, and each of us is resigned to his fate......"
As soon as Ah Wu finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves in the direction of Suide City became clear......
"Ahh
The hundreds of women and children panicked, hurriedly picked up the package and picked up the child, stood up from the ground, and rushed towards the northeast intersection......
Han Shizhong and dozens of other soldiers pulled out their weapons one after another.
"Chop some branches and throw them on the road first!"
Ah Wu's expression was solemn and not afraid.
Han Shizhong and the others hurriedly ran into the woods next to them, big knives flew, and in an instant, the road was full of branches......
The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer, and dust is flying in the distance...... Han Shizhong and the others were busy, and Xia Bing had already arrived a few hundred meters away.
Ah Wu and dozens of soldiers including Han Shizhong stood in the middle of the road in front of the branches, holding their respective weapons, staring coldly ahead......
"Phew! ………………”
Xia Bing stopped about ten meters away from Ah Wu and did not rush up.
This team of men and horses is about the same as Ah Wu's estimate, with a total of about 100 cavalry, led by Sun Wei, who joined the siege Xia army.
Ah Wu didn't speak...... His eyes stared at Sun Wei coldly, and he regretted a little that he couldn't kill this dog military master in the first battle yesterday.
That Sun Wei also looked at Ah Wu, but he looked at it with mocking eyes, as if everything was under his control and some of his plots succeeded.
The soldiers on horseback behind Sun Wei did not draw their bows and arrows, and they all looked at Ah Wu and his gang with smiles......
Ah Wu felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something was going to happen!
I was thinking about it, on the road leading to Wubao and Mizhi, there was also a burst of horses' hooves, the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, like thunder, and then, there was a cry on the road leading to the direction of Jiaxian Village.
The women and children who had fled were all forced back......
Those Xia soldiers on horseback were all armed with bows and arrows, and as long as anyone fled the avenue, they would be killed by bows and arrows, and those cries were made by those who were shot.
As a result, hundreds of women and children huddled together in panic, and little by little they retreated behind the branches of the trees at the crossroads.
Ah Wu glanced back and sighed...... The Xia soldiers at the three intersections combined had more than 2,000 horses. These men were still cavalrymen, with bows and arrows in their hands.
There were dozens of soldiers here, most of them were recruits, and the rest were hundreds of helpless women and children. How did these people fight more than 2,000 Xia soldiers, even if he was good at martial arts, it was only the courage of a horseman......
It seems that these hundreds of women and children will not survive...... At this moment, I can only give up on them. The county lord has been delayed for a long time, I don't know what happened, whether there was an accident. It is his duty to find the county lord and protect the county lord well.
"If you don't put down your weapons quickly, you will be captured!"
Sun Wei's gaze suddenly became cold, and swept over Ah Wu and the others, and the Xia soldiers behind him got down from their backs with bows and arrows, put on bows and arrows, and aimed at Ah Wu and dozens of others.
Ah Wu clenched the hilt of the knife, and with a clatter, the knife came out of its sheath. Behind him, Han Shizhong and the others also drew their sabers, treating death as home......
The Xia soldiers at the other two intersections had already pulled apart the branches on the road, put on bows and arrows, and aimed at dozens of soldiers such as Ah Wu.
As long as Sun Wei gave an order, Ah Wu and dozens of other Song soldiers would be shot into a sieve.
Ah Wu snorted coldly......
Sun Wei held the sword in his hand and looked at Ah Wu cautiously...... This master of Song Guorong's palace is very good at kung fu. Although he is trapped, he may not be able to capture him.
However, no matter whether he could catch it or not, he realized that thousands of arrows rained down, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not want to survive.
"Don't do it, get back!"
Ah Wu said coldly to Han Shizhong and the others.
Han Shizhong and a few others hesitated and retreated four or five meters away.
Sun Wei touched the tip of his nose with his thumb and smiled with interest, looking at the posture of this Song general, it seemed that he was going to single-handedly challenge their army of 2,000 people. I was quite surprised, I didn't expect the Song people to be so arrogant.
His hand was slowly raised, and the soldiers behind him pulled out their bows and arrows, and the bowstrings made a buzzing sound, as long as his gesture went down, the dense bows and arrows would rain down on the body of this Song general......
Two cold rays shot out of Ah Wu's eyes, and the momentum on his body spread out in vain...... The long knife in his hand hummed......
"There will be a date later!"
With a "boom", Ah Wu suddenly shot several sleeve arrows from his sleeve, and at the same time that the sleeve arrows flew out, he flew into the woods next to him.
"Whoosh ......"
Dozens of feathered arrows landed where Ah Wu was originally standing, followed by dozens of feathered arrows in the woods. Dozens of soldiers behind Sun Wei jumped off their horses and chased after them.
"No need to chase!"
Sun Wei said coldly, and the dozens of people who chased after him on the side of the road stopped and looked at Sun Wei in confusion.
"Why did Sun join the army say this, this radius of more than ten miles is surrounded by our army, even if he is a rabbit, he will never want to escape!"
At the intersection of the direction of Jiaxian Village, a general wearing feathers and armor and riding a brown war horse asked.
"This person is the high-ranking guard of the Song Guorong Palace, and he has good means, even General Li can't make three moves under him, and you will only lose your life if you go to hunt down."
Sun Wei didn't look at the general, his cold gaze swept over the hundreds of women and children, licked his chapped lips with his tongue, swallowed his saliva, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Sun joined the army, according to the information from the front, the bandits in Baiyun Mountain seem to have been suppressed by the Song army, and the general who led the army was the county lieutenant of Suide City. We'd better send the captives back to the city as soon as possible, just in case. ”
The general continued.
"It's okay, Wei Si listened to the order and escorted these prisoners back to the city!"
Sun Wei turned his head and gave an order to an adjutant behind him, who hurriedly dismounted, commanded his soldiers to rush forward and control Han Shizhong and dozens of other Song soldiers, and then drove the hundreds of women and children to the middle of the avenue, guarding the front and back of the road and on both sides......
The general took out a whistle-like thing and blew it into the woods in the distance, and after a while, the same sound came from the distance, one after another, and then, nearly a thousand soldiers came out of the woods in all directions of the southeast, north, and west.
These soldiers and the Xia soldiers at the east intersection of the northeast intersection gathered together, and the total number was as many as 2,000, plus Sun Wei's 1,000 soldiers and horses, there were more than 3,000 Xia soldiers here.
……
"Sun joins the army, then he will leave first!"
The general gave Sun Wei a salute on the horse.
Sun Wei nodded.
"Tell General Huyan on my behalf, he said that he will definitely repay today's incident!"
"Don't worry about joining the army, the general will definitely tell you."
The officer tightened the reins, and the horses under his crotch neighed and turned...... Led a group of men and horses to run in the direction of Fort Wu......
Sun Wei also turned around and drove towards Suide City with hundreds of captives......
……
At the time when the group walked less than a stick of incense, there was a sound of rustling leaves in the woods, and two heads emerged from a lush grass, one of which was Ah Wu, and the other was Zhao Wanqi.
