743: Strange Northern Qi cavalry

The Northern Qi Iron Cavalry is fierce, and when they meet on the battlefield, they often have several enemies, and the war horses raised on the grassland are of excellent breeds, fighting in flat places, and have the power to pull dry and destroy, which is terrifying!

Just because the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry was famous, when the Northern Qi army invaded the border, the people in the northwest would flee with their families.

They didn't think that the border army of Great Wei would be able to stop the attack of the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry!

But the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry was stunned and was blocked outside the city of Lanzhou, and the two sides were in a stalemate for more than a year.

Even the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the generalissimo who led the army, Agoura, almost died...... As Wu Da said, the people of Northern Qi are also people, and they can be killed if they are people, and if the other party is strong in combat, then kill them for a while!

Cheng Qing rode on a horse, and when he saw the merchants who suddenly decided to join the counterattack halfway through the run, he couldn't help but smile: The desperate resistance of the Northwest Army, the imperial court aided a lot of manpower and materials is useful, and the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry has not been able to break through the northwest defense line, which has increased the confidence of the people of Great Wei.

When a country is faced with an invasion, it is normal for the people on the front lines of the war to be afraid, and fear does not mean despair, nor does it mean that they lose confidence in victory.

If the people felt that the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry could not be defeated and the people's hearts did not exist, this war would be even more difficult to fight.

A merchant shouted the slogan of killing a cavalryman and rewarding a hundred taels of silver, and the caravan's guards got up from the ground and wiped the blood and dust from their faces.

The temptation of one hundred taels of silver is too great, and I don't know how long it will take to save for someone to be a guard, even if I unfortunately die, pull two barbarians on my back, and have two hundred taels of silver for my family, it will be worth it!

Cheng Qing whispered a few words in Shao Yuanzhi's ear, Shao Yuanzhi's feet trembled, and with the help of his classmates, he climbed to the roof of the car full of goods and shouted:

"Kill one enemy, and my family will add another hundred taels of silver!"

One hundred taels plus one hundred taels, and if you kill a cavalryman, you will have a reward of two hundred taels.

It's one thing to reward silver, but more importantly, it's a "lord" who said this, only a court official can be called an "adult", and there is a court official here!

The spirits of the leaderless merchants just now were shocked.

Although they will secretly scold the court officials as dog officials when they encounter exploitation, at this time, they are more convinced of the officials.

Those dozens of guards are the entourage of this adult, right?

Dare to take the initiative to meet the Northern Qi cavalry, what a brave man!

The merchants continued to crawl and ran in the direction of Cheng Qing, not even wanting the goods.

At this time, no matter how valuable the goods are, their own lives are not as important, and they want to get Cheng Qing's protection.

Cheng Qing frowned when he saw it.

Bypassing the border defense, the small group of Northern Qi cavalry that suddenly appeared in the rear of Lanzhou would not come just to kill people, they were interested in the goods transported by the merchants?

At this time, the merchants who were still going to Lanzhou were transporting wartime supplies that were in short supply, and the military rations were escorted by the army, and the grain of the ordinary people was transported by the grain merchants themselves.

Not good!

This group of cavalry either did not come to plunder, or there was backup.

Cheng Qing waved at Shao Yuanzhi, Shao Yuanzhi climbed out of the car with a rolling belt, and Cheng Qing gave him his official seal: "You take the official seal as a basis, hurry up and go to Anding for help, so that Anding County will block the city gate and prepare to defend against the enemy!" ”

Anding County is the throat of the northwest, the gateway of Lanzhou, and has its own Silk Road, and it is one of the important towns.

After the Northern Qi invaded the border, the strategic location of Anding rose again and again, although it was a county, it had a high city tower, the city gate was also very strong, and there were garrisons in the city, now Cheng Qing and others were only a few miles away from the Anding city gate, while organizing the guards of the caravans to kill the enemy, and the rest of the people retreated into Anding County was the safest.

Cheng Qing wants Anding County to block the city gate, so where are they going?

Immediately, a businessman was in a hurry, Cheng Qing swept his eyes, and scolded mercilessly:

"If you want to enter the city, this official must be the last, this official is not afraid of death, what are you anxious about!"

The merchant refused to believe it.

If you really want to enter the city, Anding County will definitely let the court officials be the first to enter, these merchants have a low status, and most of them are the last to enter the city.

But Shao Yuanzhi had already run away on horseback, and he couldn't catch up, so it was useless for the businessman to be anxious.

I was far away just now, but now I am closer, only to find that Cheng Qing is very young, and the trust of several businessmen in her has been greatly reduced, and they are afraid that they will leave Cheng Qing, and they will have no way to live, and they can't find any other way for a while, and they are dissatisfied, and they have to rely on Cheng Qing's side.

There is that stingy businessman, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit, he also increased the reward with his throat, you add ten taels, I add twenty taels, although it is not as atmospheric as the businessman and Cheng Qing who shouted a hundred taels at the beginning, after several superimpositions, the reward for killing a Northern Qi cavalry is already very high.

More and more guards are armed to join the killing team.

These Northern Qi cavalry are fierce and fierce, and everyone should be hunting.

Others hunt bears and tigers, they are hunters...... No, they are hunting for "silver essence", and the cavalry alone is worth three or four hundred taels of silver, and there is a heart-warming silver light all over their bodies!

Sure enough, there is nothing in this world that silver can't do, and if there is, it must be that there is not enough silver.

What Northern Qi cavalry, even if it is a heavenly soldier and a heavenly future, saying that killing one will reward 10,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid that some people will dare to try it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Qing couldn't help but look at the businessman who first shouted "Kill one enemy and reward one hundred taels of silver".

Looking at this, Cheng Qing was a little surprised.

The man wore a fur hat, was tall, dark-skinned, and looked less like a merchant than a housekeeper raised by a merchant.

Cheng Qing looked at the other party, and the other party was also looking at Cheng Qing, his eyes were stunned, as if he was frightened and hadn't come back to his senses.

Before Cheng Qing could figure out what was wrong with this, he saw that Shao Yuanzhi actually turned back, and Shao Yuanzhi also brought back the reinforcements sent by Anding County.

A few miles away, the soldiers on the tower of the city in Anding County had already discovered the riot on the official road, and sent a team of soldiers to confirm the situation, and they happened to meet Shao Yuanzhi in the middle of the road.

Shao Yuanzhi led reinforcements to come, and the team led by Wu Da composed of officials and caravan guards became more and more courageous, and the small group of cavalry saw that the situation was not right, so they directly gave up the attack, turned their horses and ran away, leaving behind the corpses of twenty or thirty companions.

These twenty or thirty corpses were worth a lot of silver, and the officials could forcibly hold back, but the guards of the caravan had firmly surrounded the corpses, and they were more attentive than escorting the caravan goods.

The guards are not afraid that Cheng Qing and others will break their promises, but they must care about how to divide the reward.

Anding County led the troops to come to the aid of a general banner, knowing Cheng Qing's identity, not to mention that the military general has a lower status than the civilian official, he is a high-level military general, and he has to weigh a few points when he hears Cheng Qing's name.

Zongqi asked Cheng Qing what to do, and Cheng Qing pointed to the wounded all over the ground, "Save people first." ”

Wu Da covered his arms and came over to tell Cheng Qing that the barbarians didn't have a single mouth.

That is, I can't ask for any information.

Cheng Qing was uneasy and told the general banner, "I don't know when the barbarians will make a comeback, it's a pity that these materials were snatched away by them, so let's arrange for the goods to go into the city first, and we will wait outside the city." ”
