Chapter 102: Chasing Soldiers
……
Liu Zhibang read it and handed the letter to Aya, and after thinking about it, Liu Zhibang said to Lu Er: "Lu Er, you go and call Ah Meng and Long Jie!" ”
After reading the letter, Aya's face was a little heavy, and she said to Liu Zhibang: "Abang, is Li Jun really going to attack us?" ”
Liu Zhibang nodded and said: "Originally, to destroy the Black Mountain Clan, Li Jun wanted to attack us, but at that time he was busy attacking the Dragon Clan, and he didn't have his hands free......
Aya asked, "Then what did you ask Lu Er to do to call Ah Meng and Long Jie?" ”
Liu Zhibang replied: "I want them to pick up the batch of goods sent by Shopkeeper Mu!" ”
Not long after, Ah Meng and Long Jie rushed to Liu Zhibang.
Liu Zhibang saw that the two had arrived, so he leaned over to the ears of the two and whispered about the plan, and the two nodded and left.
After Aya saw the two leaving, she said to Liu Zhibang: "Abang, do you need to send two battalions of men and horses to receive a batch of goods?" There are so many things in the clan, and there are few people, but they can't keep busy......"
Liu Zhibang looked at Ah Meng and Long Jie, who were assembling the team in the distance, and said: "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, Li Jun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not to mention that there is a black guess by his side, Mu Tong is in Xia Yuancheng to procure a lot, and he hires so many craftsmen and talents, he must not be able to hide from them, and he will definitely send an army to intercept it...... This batch of goods is not worth mentioning to the city lord of Xia Yuan, but for my Han people, it is a charcoal in the snow, our Han nationality has just been established, there is an extreme shortage of materials in all aspects, and talents are even more scarce, if Li Jun breaks this line, then the next confrontation will have little hope......"
Aya nodded in agreement after hearing this, and looked at the two battalions of Han soldiers who were ready to go with expectation.
……
The sun was scorching, and on the road leading to the eastern side of Wumang, a long horse caravan was moving slowly forward, Hu Gang walked to the front of the procession, he looked back at the kilometer-long horse carapace, his face was full of worry.
A knight ran ahead, and when the man galloped closer, Hu Gang rode his horse to meet him and asked, "Can you find someone from the Han people in front of you?" ”
The knight on the horse took a few breaths and said, "Hu Darttou, I ran out of twenty miles at your command, but I still didn't find anyone......
Hu Gang looked behind him again, and saw smoke and dust rising from the end of a barren grass jungle in the distance, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Hurry up and get to the jungle ahead......"
Hu Gang galloped all the way back, shouting orders.
The horse team immediately increased its speed, but the mules were all heavy cargo, and no matter how fast they were, they could not compare with the speed of the cavalry.
By the time the cavalry reached the edge of the jungle, the cavalry in the rear could already be clearly seen.
One of the dart players shouted: "Hu Darthead, there are cavalry catching up, what should I do?" ”
Hu Gang looked at the entire horse team, all the darts players of their heroic dart bureau Xia Yuancheng rudder were here, but they were only in their early 100s, but seeing the smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun, the chasing soldiers must have far surpassed them, and the labor of the horse team and the craftsmen in the same group added up to only 100 people, they did not have much combat effectiveness, and it was definitely not an obvious choice to count on them.
"Throw all the goods down, everyone get on their horses, and make a fast march towards the mountain......
Hu Gang decisively answered the order, the team was in a panic, and it took a while for everyone to get on their horses and advance, but the pursuers behind were already less than two kilometers.
"Let's ...... away"
A large banner painted with flames rushed across a small river, followed closely by hundreds of heavily armed knights, whose hooves thundered and made the earth tremble.
Xia Yong, the commander of the Flame Cavalry Regiment, looked at the horse team fleeing in front of him from a distance, smiled coldly, and waved his big hand, and the cavalry team accelerated the speed of pursuit.
Beside Xia Yong, the commander of the galloping Fire Cavalry Regiment, a young knight said to Xia Yong: "Commander, there are mountains and forests ahead, will there be an ambush ......?"
Xia Yong smiled coldly and said: "As far as the few people in Liu Zhibang's clan can be sent, how many people can be sent out, if I were him, I would have already hid in the depths of Wumang Mountain when I heard the wind, our Fire Cavalry Regiment is the most elite unit in Xia Yuan City, if it wasn't for the obstruction of the Dragon Clan last time, we would have caught Liu Zhibang a long time ago, Liu Zhibang can have a few guts, and he would dare to send someone to kill us......
The young knight also nodded after hearing this, and said, "Commander, the city lord asked us to take the lead, this is a great merit, but a small Han nationality, bitter and poor, how much benefit can we get?" ”
Xia Yong was also a little discouraged when he heard it, the tribes of Wumang Mountain are poor and backward, he is the elite troops of Xia Yuancheng, every time he fights with the neighboring Jinguang Empire, the spoils of war after his victory are extremely rich, and he will almost not send cavalry to the expedition in Wumang Mountain, because the cavalry is not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, but this time he received the order to seize the materials transported to the Han people, he felt that it was a bit overkill, out of the duty of a soldier he still resolutely carried out the order, when he saw the countless goods abandoned on the side of the road not far ahead, The mind is a little more balanced.
Soon, the Fire Cavalry Regiment chased after Hu Gang where he had dropped the goods, and Xia Yong ordered the team to stop.
"Xia Zhi, your team stays, bring these goods back, and the rest of the people will continue to chase ...... with me"
Xia Yong left a third of his men and horses behind and continued to chase forward.
Xia Zhi and the other head of the regiment, Xia Yong, led the team through the jungle, jumped off the horse, looked at the goods all over the ground and laughed: "It's not a trip for nothing, I didn't expect this Liu Zhibang to be quite rich and buy so many goods, but he never expected that it would be cheaper for us, haha......"
Just as Xia Zhi's cavalry was happily carrying the goods, a scream shattered their dreams.
"Ah......h
"Enemy Attack ......"
"Get on the ......"
Xia Zhi ran back to his horse, and a long arrow hit his mount against his face, Xia Zhi was so frightened that he quickly rolled on the ground, lying on the ground and looking in the direction where the long arrow came from.
Long arrows kept shooting out in the woods, with a distance of more than two hundred meters, Xia Zhi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, what bow and arrow could shoot so far? After watching for a while, Xia Zhi found that the number of arrows shot was not very large, and he estimated that there were only a dozen people at most.
Xia Zhi observed for a while, and said angrily: "Damn, even a few people dare to attack us, brothers, rush in for me......"
Because of the dense jungle, Xia Zhi's subordinate knights gave up their mounts and rushed into the jungle with their shields.
