Chapter 19: The Great Dusk

Dahan, Saiwai,

In an oasis dozens of miles away from Dayan Pass, there is a team of people who estimate that thousands of soldiers and horses are galloping on horses, seemingly fleeing in a hurry, and in this desert, a piece of dust and sand is raised.

If someone observes carefully, they can find that this group of fleeing soldiers and horses did not panic at all, and it can even be said that they were extremely disciplined and advanced and retreated.

And behind this group of soldiers and horses, there are even more vast pursuers.

"You and other thieves, dare to betray Da Zheng, leave!"

The sound was heard from the pursuers, and it screamed incomparably, as if it had penetrated the desert.

Although the voice was fierce, there was not the slightest anxiety in the pursuers. These two teams always keep this certain distance, which looks a little weird.

Behind a small mound in the oasis, two Han scouts observed the scene with solemn expressions.

The scouts who have been outside the plug all the year round have very comparable insights, and both of them feel a little abnormal.

The young scout spoke: "Boss, these people who have escaped are Zheng Guo's rebels?"

The scout captain did frown and was silent, and after observing for a while, he said: "Something is wrong, I'm afraid there is fraud, you go and report to the general quickly, and I will observe for a while." ”

"No!"

The scout suddenly disappeared in place, leaving only traces of his swiftness in the yellow sand.

After the scout left, suddenly, several people appeared at the scout captain's place.

These people suddenly cast a big net, and the scout captain's face changed greatly, and his reaction was also fast, and he suddenly wanted to leave, but suddenly let out a miserable scream.

His corpse also suddenly flew out of the sand.

Then, a man with a long knife appeared, and the corners of his mouth were filled with evil smiles.

"These scouts of the Han Dynasty are nothing more than that. ”

Yanmen Pass.

The soldiers of the Han garrison are still solemn and solemn, guarding the border of the Han Dynasty.

Suddenly, he saw his scouts returning in a panic.

The soldiers were suspicious, but then, in the vast desert outside the pass, there was a faint rumbling sound of horses' hooves and war beasts, and the wild sand covered the sky and the sun......

Their faces changed dramatically.

On top of the city pass, the guard Hua Jing Kongben was talking to a soldier who was full of heroism but was a little difficult to distinguish gender, and suddenly saw this scene, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

Hua Jingkong roared: "Be on guard!"

Suddenly, the few defenders of Yanmen Pass were ready to defend in an instant.

Although Hua Jingkong's expression was anxious, he still said to the delicate and heroic soldier: "Mulan, the situation is urgent, you leave here immediately!"

"I have made up my mind, I will never leave, uncle, if you don't agree to Mulan to stay on the frontier, Mulan will stay by herself, and uncle doesn't have to worry about me. ”

"Nonsense, this army fight, it's a man's business, so it's your women's turn?"

"Uncle, don't look down on women, you soldiers are not necessarily my opponents, and I am in the army on behalf of my father, if you don't agree, then let your own brother come to the frontier to suffer this." ”

"I ......" Hua Jing was speechless for a while.

He knows the situation of his brother Hua Arc, who has been weak and sick since he was a child.

Since the former emperor Wang Qingyang transferred a lot of troops stationed at Yanmen Pass, Huajing Hollow felt a great sense of crisis, so he vigorously recruited troops in his hometown.

The eldest brother of Huajingkong, in order to lead by example, insisted on coming to the border to garrison. Hua Mulan naturally didn't want her father to go to the border to die, and she admired her uncle since she was a child, this time, she secretly left a letter to join the army on behalf of her father, and came to Yanmen Pass to take refuge with her uncle.

Hua Jingkong saw that his niece was so stubborn, but he couldn't take her.

I had no choice but to snort coldly: "Hmph, the sergeant of the Dahan Border Pass, all of them are elite soldiers who have been selected through layers of selection, you can not leave, but you must follow your uncle, and your uncle will first see if you have the ability to garrison this pass." ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Hua Jingkong has no time to pay attention to Mulan.

"Report!"

That's when the scouts arrived.

"General Yu, there is a team of pursuers and deserters outside the gate, but there may be something strange!"

As soon as the scout finished speaking, the sky filled with yellow sand suddenly appeared.

Seeing this scene, Hua Jingkong immediately frowned and said, "There is indeed something strange!"

The horn sounded, and the wolf smoke of the beacon tower also rose.

Soon, the army fleeing in front had already arrived outside Yanmen Pass, and the pursuers behind seemed to be afraid of something, and stayed at a certain distance, not daring to act rashly.

Seeing that the deserters in front were about to enter the forbidden line, Huajing Airlift was full of strength, and shouted: "Who dares to break into the border of the Han Dynasty, stop, go further, and there will be no mercy!"

At the same time, above the city pass, the crossbow archers had already loaded their crossbow arrows and aimed them below, and the rolling wood oil used for defense was ready, and the battle was about to start.

"I am Yuwencheng, the commander of the Han Dynasty, and I was ordered by the emperor to go to Zheng Guo to carry out a mission, and now the mission has failed, and I am being chased and killed by Zheng Guo, and I ask the general to let me go!"

It was a man from the fleeing army.

The man was dressed in armor, but he was rather embarrassed, as if he had been seriously injured.

The leader of the chasing soldiers in the back seemed to be a little anxious at this time, and he also used his skills, and said in a very penetrating voice: "This person is not your Han Dynasty's cavalry captain, but our Zheng Guo's traitor. ”

"I have the Great Han Riding Captain token as proof!"

Then, the man who claimed to be the captain of the Great Han Cavalry threw a token at the city wall.

Hua Jingkong looked at this token and frowned: "It is indeed the token of the Riding Captain!"

If this person is really the cavalry captain of the Han Dynasty, and he failed to perform the mission by the order of the emperor, then he really can't see death without help.

However, he always felt that this matter was extremely strange.

This is indeed a dilemma for him.

If he chooses to turn a blind eye, if that person is really a captain of the Great Han Cavalry, and he really goes to Zheng Guo to carry out a special mission, he may have something in his hands.

When the time comes, if he is really captured by Zheng Guo, then it may not be a good thing for the Han Dynasty, but when the time comes, it will be because he will not be saved when he sees death, and he will not be able to get out of it.

But if there is fraud, the whole Yanmen Pass will be dangerous, Yanmen Pass, is a gateway to the northwest, if the Yanmen Pass is broken, the Yanmen Pass defenders are all trivial, the northwest land, how many Han people will be displaced, died in Huangquan.

At this time, Mulan said: "Uncle, these people are cheating. ”

Although Hua Jingkong felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't find too many clues, and subconsciously asked, "Do you see it?"

"The commander of the Han Cavalry, who is the commander of the Yulin Cavalry beside the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is a very mysterious figure, his mission is to protect the safety of His Majesty, unless there is no one in the Han Dynasty, if not, it is not his turn to go to Zheng Guo as an undercover mission. ”

Hua Mulan was full of confidence, and looked at the person below with a little disdain, like looking at a clown who jumped off the beam, and the person sighed in her heart under Mulan's eyes.

Hua Jing thought for a while, but hesitated: "This is just your speculation, but, Captain Qi Du is one of His Majesty's most trusted people, if there is really a special task, it is not impossible to give it to him." ”

Hua Mulan's expression was unusually calm, "If he is really a cavalry lieutenant, if he really has such a special mission, and even says it in public, doesn't he know how much trouble this will bring to the big Han? ”

"Hahahaha, well, who said that women are inferior to men!"

Hua Jingkong sighed slightly, and the people around him, looking at Mulan's expression, became different. Immediately, Hua Jingkong looked down with a calm gaze and said: "My Han Cavalry Captain has already died in battle, no matter who you are, you dare to pretend to be the Great Han Cavalry Captain, you should die!"

"Kill!"

Immediately, Hua Jingkong gave an order, and the crossbowmen fired ten thousand arrows together.

And those people below seem to have been prepared, and when ten thousand arrows are fired, they are ready to defend, obviously, they have already left a back hand.

The border war broke out, and the news soon spread back to the imperial capital.

Hua Jingkong naturally did not hide the slightest, and also told Hua Mulan about seeing through the enemy's treacherous schemes, Wang Hao was on it, and when he saw Mulan's name, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
