Chapter 347: Brave
In July, the fire flowed, and the yellow sand was all over the sky.
In the lonely sound of horses' hooves, several Tang Army knights rushed out of the reckless sea of sand and stepped onto an oasis.
The grass on the oasis is green, and a beautiful lake in the distance looks very conspicuous.
After trekking in the vast sea of sand for so long, I finally saw a large area of green, and the knights on horseback cheered loudly, all of them were extremely excited.
They are all good hands in the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, strong men in the Longwu Army, and they came here from Chang'an City with a mission. The pride of making contributions has almost been consumed in the eight hundred miles of Hanhai, and it is enough to be happy to be able to safely cross the vast Mohe Yan moraine.
After Mohe Yanmo, under the feet should be the territory of Rouyuan County, Yizhou, and more than a thousand miles to the northwest is the destination of their trip, Tingzhou.
Although there was a military post station in Mohe Yanmoi to supply them, it was still extremely difficult for these Chang'an children to cross the 800 miles of Hanhai. They have never been out of Chang'an, and they have experienced the wind and sand of the Western Regions. The vast sea of sand seemed to have no end at all, and now that it had finally come out, the knights were very happy, and rode their horses towards the blue lake in the center of the oasis.
On the shore of the blue lake, there was a group of Persian merchants resting, and when they saw the knights, they all looked respectful, but the knights of the Dragon Warrior Army did not look at them.
Moxi is also the land of Datang, these Hu merchants are not even customers in Datang, although they have some money, but they have no status at all, how can they get into the eyes of the children of Chang'an?
The knights went to the lake, drank water, filled the water bladders one by one, and drove aside the Persian merchants in the shade of the trees. Sit down on the ground and start resting.
The Persians graciously brought cool grapes and chunks of jerky. The captain at the head ordered the knights to take it. But he didn't give these Persians a good face. Thinking of the task of this trip, the captain's face was extremely serious.
……
It's July now, and from spring to summer, there has been an undercurrent in Chang'an City, and people don't dare to talk about it publicly, but they are privately saying that His Majesty is missing.
As the head of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the Long Wu Army is His Majesty's henchman and the most relied on force of the royal family. Naturally, they are also aware of these rumors and are extremely concerned about this matter. Since His Majesty went to Huaqing Palace to spend the winter last winter, everyone has not seen him, and the entire Longwu Army is also panicking.
Just a few days ago, rumors suddenly spread in Chang'an City, and news came from nowhere, saying that His Majesty had left Chang'an City last winter, and went to the North Court with General Gao of the Inner Palace, and secretly urged the soldiers of the west to march north. The news came very suddenly. It spread very quickly in Chang'an City, and within a few days, it was known to everyone.
Li Heng, the crown prince of the prison state, was also shocked when he heard this. Orders were made to trace the source of the rumors, but nothing was found. After that, the prince of the prison country secretly ordered Long Wujun to send General Chen Xuanli to send a good hand in the army to the north court to confirm the truth of the matter and see if His Majesty was really in the north court.
At this time, what the prince can believe is naturally the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, especially the soldiers of the Longwu Army. General Chen Xuanli received the order and sent twelve groups of envoys to Beiting one after another, the purpose of which was to find out the truth of the matter. Each group of emissaries set out one day apart, and the group he was in was the fifth of them.
The bitter cold land in the west of the moraine, but it should be much better after Moheyan moraine. There is no sense of desolation in this oasis in front of you, there is no white grass and yellow elm, but it seems to be vibrant.
In more than ten days, we will be able to rush to Tingzhou. This time there is a chance to come out, and after going back, it will be a credit, and the promotion is certain, which is promised by the general himself. But he didn't really value these things, and he also wanted to know where His Majesty was, whether he was really in the North Garden. This is too important for the Tang Empire.
The young lieutenant was thinking, but his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly jumped up, and the snowy horizontal knife was already out of its sheath.
A few robes who drank grape wine actually fell crooked on the grass!
Looking at the dozens of Persian merchants who were slowly approaching, a trace of anger appeared in the captain's eyes, and he shouted: "You dogs, dare to plot against a certain family!" After saying that, he suddenly stepped on the ground and rushed straight up.
Dozens of Persian merchants were holding scimitars in their hands, and they had just surrounded a few Tang troops by the lake, but they didn't expect the captain to take the initiative to attack, and when they saw the young captain rushing over, several Persian merchants who were closest to him waved their scimitars and slashed over.
"Die!"
The young lieutenant let out a loud shout, and the horizontal knife in his hand suddenly swung out, and the narrow horizontal knife turned into a white light, and swept past several Persian merchants. In the midst of the splatters of blood, several Persian merchants and the scimitars in their hands were cut in two at the same time.
With just one sword, he killed five Persian merchants!
In front of the young lieutenant, an open space suddenly appeared.
"If you dare to plot against a certain family, you will die for me!"
The other Persian merchants were slightly stunned, and the captain had already rushed forward, rushing into the crowd, the narrow horizontal knife in his hand was splashed with blood, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and it was really invincible, and several Persian merchants had fallen down in an instant.
Outside the crowd, a slightly fat Persian in his forties, reacted and shouted loudly and ordered the Persian merchants to come forward. These Persian merchants were also extremely strong, and one by one they frantically waved their scimitars and rushed towards the young captain, and the scimitars were swirling and whirring, and they were not weak.
The young lieutenant shouted loudly, and his whole body rushed towards the place where the Persian merchants were most numerous like a spear, and a horizontal knife in his hand was as terrible as a guillotine, and every time he swung it, blood was splashed. In front of him, these Persian merchants were like clay puppets, and when the young lieutenant slashed at him, he was cut to the ground before he could resist.
The Persians led by him watched the Persian warriors under him fall one after another, but the captain of the Tang military academy became more and more brave the more he fought, and he was so angry that he scolded.
In the past few days, they have set up an ambush near this Red Cliff Station, and they have successfully killed four groups of messengers from Chang'an, who expected that the fifth wave of messengers would be inside. There is such a hot guy hiding it!
Intercept messages between Chang'an and Tingzhou. Make Chang'an City even more chaotic. This was an order from the Great Shaman, who had thought it would be an extremely simple task, but he didn't expect this to happen.
This young Tang lieutenant is simply not a human being, how can a human being be such a powerful existence!
His subordinates have all been trained for many years, and each of them is not weak, but they can't get close to this Tang man at all. This Tang lieutenant had no intention of escaping at all, because he was too strong.
Because they had to disguise their identities, they only had scimitars and no crossbows. Now watching this Tang man show his might, there are fewer and fewer warriors under his command, but this shaman of the Persian temple has no way.
At this time, he suddenly remembered what the Tang people often said about "ten thousand enemies".
This seemingly ordinary Tang military captain turned out to be a figure like a thousand enemies!
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer subordinates, and that he couldn't explain to the great shaman after he returned, the Persian shaman mustered up his courage and rushed forward with a few guards around him waving their scimitars.
……
The young lieutenant became more and more courageous, and in three or five steps, he easily chiseled through the crowd, and the corpse fell to the ground beside him.
These disguised Persian merchants were secretly cultivated by the Zoroastrians. He was extremely fanatical about Zoroastrianism, and although he suffered heavy losses, he would rather die than retreat.
The lieutenant had no intention of escaping. After cutting through the crowd, he turned around and slashed back with a blood-stained sword. The tall body was stained red with blood, which was not his, but all of the enemy's.
Iron feet firmly stepped on the ground, each step forward a few feet, the horizontal knife in the hand is a family heirloom, extremely sharp, unbelievably fast, although it is a wide open and closed military knife technique, there is nothing peculiar, every knife will not miss.
The young lieutenant had never been on the battlefield, and today was the first time he had killed someone, and he shot out in anger, but he didn't expect the enemy to be so vulnerable.
In the siege of the Persian warriors, he seemed to be in a no-man's land, and the more he fought, the more confident he became, and the horizontal knife in his hand swung faster, cutting down the Persians to the ground.
Seeing a huge Persian in his forties rushing up with several Persian warriors, the captain suddenly stepped forward with a loud shout, and swung out a short long knife on his body, and the domineering knife swept past the grass, and it actually cut off the legs of several people rushing at the same time!
The Persian shaman suddenly felt a huge pain in his legs, his body suddenly became shorter, and the people around him became much taller, and when he looked down and saw that he had lost his legs, he shouted miserably.
At this moment, there was another flash of swords, and the shaman found himself flying high, and several headless corpses appeared in his field of vision, blood spurting wildly from his neck, one of which was slightly obese and looked somewhat familiar.
Is that...... Himself!
The shaman was startled, and his consciousness instantly dissipated, and he fell into the infinite darkness. Ahura's kingdom of heaven did not appear before his eyes.
On the shore of the blue lake, the sword light is like a rainbow, blood is splashed, and there are only a dozen remnants of the Persian warriors left, all with blood-red eyes, fighting to the death. The young lieutenant did not show the slightest politeness, rushed out of the crowd and turned back, and after successfully gouging through again, there were only three Persian warriors left alive.
"Put the knife down, Rao Er won't die!" The lieutenant shouted.
The Persian caravan was all involved in the attack, which was obviously not a normal caravan, and he didn't know what was going on, so he had to stay alive.
The three Persian warriors shouted in unison, brandished their scimitars and continued to charge towards the captain. The lieutenant sneered, slashed two with two swords, and then turned his sword horizontally, and the blade of the knife slapped heavily on the last Persian warrior. The Persian warrior screamed and fell to the ground with a spout of blood.
The captain stepped forward and couldn't help frowning. I originally wanted to keep a living mouth, but I didn't expect this guy to be shot to death directly, and now there is no one alive.
At this time, the lieutenant still felt the slightest tiredness. Walked quickly to the side of a few robes under the trees by the lake, probed his nose, and found that they were all just fainting, and he was also relieved. (To be continued......)
