"Help!"

The officer shouted and rushed through the darkness. He roared, as if he had just escaped from the maelstrom of death.

The night, which was still calm just now, was torn apart by this sound. The sentry warrior was startled and stared at the stranger closely, seeing that his shoulders were bloodied and there seemed to be a faint smell of burning.

"What people!" shouted.

The man ran so hard that he fell off his horse and was surrounded by General Gai's soldiers and horses. The light of the torch illuminated the young warrior's bloody, muddy face.

Meng Yining also stood up with a "Teng-" sound.

"It's your soldiers of Great Xia, what's going on?" She asked.

"Barbarian... They... They attacked the town! There's no one left... We can't resist—" His voice was filled with despair and horror.

"Our leader sent a team to move the rescuers, and they all went in the direction of Chengping! I'm here with three other brothers—" He gasped for breath as he half-sat in the firelight.

"They pulled in the back ... To cover me," the soldier began to cough as he spoke. Little Bug and her younger brother also rushed over, and Little Bug held the water in his hand and said, "Let him drink the water first." The soldier stuck his head into the bowl and drank violently. Gu Zi'an said to General Gai that we should go back to the tent and let the soldiers carry him over in a while. The little bug brother said, "I'll go get him something to eat."

The soldier in the tent who was resting for a while said, "... Originally, they didn't believe that there would be people here, but I told them that they often see carrier pigeons flying in this direction these days... Certain... There must be someone! Sure enough, I found you..."

General Gai asked, "Which unit are you?" ”

"We're stationed at Delin City thirty miles from here." As soon as he said a word, he gasped again. At this time, a soldier came up to bandage him, and the little bug brother brought him some food.

During the interval, the short man Li Ke said that these bandits should not be regarded as barbarians, but they also summed up a lot of robberies. They will look for opportunities to get the maximum profit with the least loss. The troops of the Great Xia border defense generally change their defenses once every three years. And in the city is a big gathering in fifteen days. Ordinary people are not allowed to bring big knives and guns when they enter the city. So on the one hand, the people in the city have little combat effectiveness, and secondly, this also prevents bandits from blending in. However, it is different when changing guards, they can change into the military uniforms of Great Xia, the purpose is to make the guards mistakenly think that they are the vanguard of changing guards. Anyway, the long march is gray-headed and the face is black and red, and the bandits play is really not much different. ”

When the fleeing soldier heard Mr. Shorty's analysis, he forgot his eyes widened in pain, and said, "Lord Immortal, yesterday was the big set, and it was also the time for us to change our guards."

"The frontier area is full of barbarians, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil! Originally, it was nothing more than a ransack of villages, and later some villages paid tribute to them in exchange for peace. How can it be justified to attack the city of Delin now! General Gai was furious, "Gu Shizi, the minister's task is to help you return to Yangshang safely and ascend the throne, but seeing such a situation, as a person from Great Xia, you can't ignore it!" As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee: "Give the minister three days to deal with this gang of maniacs!" ”

General Gai's words seemed to be a raging fire on dry wood, crackling and burning.

"General Gai, I have been in Great Xia for eight years, and King Xia has treated me well. Moreover, it is a matter of course to protect the innocent in the face of killing bandits. How can it be left alone! ”

Gu Zi'an said in a deep voice: "Everyone, unload your baggage, hang up your light armor, and set off immediately!" ”

The lonely moon is bent like a hook.

General Gai led the soldiers and hurried to Delin City like a meteor. And Gu Zi'an took Beiyang and the 500 people left behind by General Gai.

Thirty miles, the wind crossed, and the horses galloped like a strong wind. But the city in the distance was dead silent. Delin City is located on the commercial artery of the two countries, and merchants from various countries come and go, so it was originally relatively wealthy. The city is not big, but it has a lot of style. But now, under the faint silver glow of the hooked moon, there was a breath of death, and the banner of Great Xia on the city wall had been broken. When I got closer, I saw the dead bodies scattered on the way into the city, and the gold and silver scattered on the way into the city, and now I saw a broken house with the door open, and occasionally there was a whimpering cry. But apparently the bandits have already run away.

said that Gu Zi'an in the back turned around as he walked. General Xiao rode his horse to catch up. He said, "Your Highness, do you think the bandits have run away?" ”

Gu Zi'an nodded in affirmation, and then waited for Meng Yining and Le Yi to follow, General Xiao said, "Bandits generally aim for money, and they run away after robbing them." I think they've left the city by now. ”

"Then let's copy the bottom of it," Le Yi said, "They must not have expected our troops to be so close to them, so they won't go too far." If we can touch the results, they can be regarded as a return gift to King Xia."

"Of course that's good! It's just that how do we determine their location? Meng Yining asked.

"Now that it's cold, they must be sheltered from the wind in the mountains, and they are rich here and don't go too far to grab things. We just have to go into the mountains to find it. Zhiduoxing has a strong tracking ability, as long as it finds a snatched and lost item, let him experience it, it can track the past. ”

"Good. I'll also release a carrier pigeon to inform General Gai," Meng Yining continued.

Sure enough, soon after they plunged into the road between the city and the mountain, they found gold and silver left on the road. Gu Zi'an asked General Xiao to pass back and order everyone to move quietly and quickly. When I came to a mountain depression, I saw the light of the torches, and there was a woman's sorrow in the laughing voices.

"Beware of dogs!" Le Yi made a gesture to stop everyone. Then he called a few vigorous soldiers to give them an antidote, and one handed them a bag of lighted cigarettes, which contained the powder of the magic rose. This magic rose grows in the busy desert. Small amounts can be used for post-injury sedation. Ignition makes people lethargic and depressed. I saw a few soldiers carrying lit magic roses in their hands, and a few dodges copied them from the upper wind of the mountain valley.

After a while, the hustle and bustle began to lower and slowly became quiet.

As soon as General Xiao waved his hand, the troops quietly rushed towards the mountain depression in a fan shape. Soon he smelled the smell of alcohol from the staggering crowd in an open field, as well as the smell of sweat and blood on the men's bodies.

At this time, under the influence of the magic rose, the bandits held the people or money that came up, and dreamed all kinds of satisfying dreams.

Everyone was about to make a move, when they suddenly heard a whistle, and then a few people ran over from the opposite hillside, shouting as they ran, and it sounded like it was not Daxia or Beiyang dialect. Le Yi said that they were speaking barbarian language, saying that the officials and soldiers were coming, so let everyone run.

"Archery!"

General Xiao gave an order, and several arrows flew away.

"Ahh

Two or three fell to the ground.
