But about half a month later, it was already close to the border city of Pinghe, and the commander of Song Min raised his hand to order the subordinates of the three-pronged battalion behind him to stop.
Frowning and looking at the scene ahead, he saw countless panicked, ragged people in front of him, including homeless and Westerners, or refugees.
Yes, it is a refugee, in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the appearance of a refugee fleeing from famine, or a person fleeing from natural disasters or famine, adults are holding or holding children, and they are simply carrying a package.
And the man in armor, who was running very fast on horseback, was in front of the refugee procession or on the left and right, and if he looked closely, he seemed to be leading the way, and it should be the western soldiers of the border town in front of him who were escorting these people to escape.
Soon, the people of Song Min's team saw these people, and these people naturally saw them too.
One of them hurried and came directly in the direction of Song Min's command, and the rest of the people continued to lead the group of refugees in the direction of bypassing the escort.
When the visitor was about to approach, his face was first surprised, then anxious and slightly surprised, holding a horsewhip in his hand and clenching his fist and saying, "But are there any reinforcements?"
What kind of reinforcements, Song Min was surprised in his heart, he didn't know what to do, but he still said: "I am under the command of Dadu Mu, and I went straight to the Longwei Trident Battalion to lead Song Min, but I am an escort team, not any reinforcements, what is your situation?"
"Commander Song. The person who came gave half a military salute on the horse, and then said as if crying: "I am an officer in the border city of Qi County, Commander Song, you still don't know, I am escorting the people of Qi County to flee, and the county secretary of Qi County has died on the battlefield." โ
"Oh, what's going on, could it be that the Dragon Palace ......" Commander Song was shocked, and then the only possibility that came to mind was that the Dragon Palace landed a few days ahead of schedule this year and hit the Pinghe border, but this possibility is too small.
Sure enough, without waiting for Commander Song Min to finish speaking, someone came to interrupt him and said: "No, it's not the Dragon Palace, we are waiting for the border city, and it has been attacked by that Dicang." The man screamed in pain.
Jucang's attack? Song Min had countless questions in his heart for a moment, and he was even more surprised than the Dragon Palace: "How is it possible to attack Jucang?
โ
What happened before came from the mouth of the officer of Qi County.
"Three days ago, there was a group of Ximin from Lijiazhuang in Jucang, armed with some knives, guns, sticks, kitchen knives and rolling pins, across the county seat of Qixian County, and directly attacked the mountain town of Qixian County, as if they wanted to grab land because of a dispute. The officer said as he hung the whip in his hand on the side of the horse.
"This is worth it, all the land grabbers and people have been robbed to my Pinghe territory, and after Qi County got the report, he immediately sent troops to suppress it. โ
"I thought it was just an ordinary dispute between Zhuang and Zhen, but who would have thought that this group of people was quite strong in combat, and the more than 100 people who were discharged were not opponents at all. โ
"This is worth it, I was actually bullied in my own territory, and the people of my Qi County naturally fought a real fire, and someone brought back the news that my Qi County began to send thousands of cavalry to suppress it. โ
The officer paused, swallowed his saliva and continued: "Who knew that this group of people was not very simple, and there were backups, and they fought with thousands of people and horses in my Qi County, and they fell into a stalemate for a while. โ
"It's not okay to go on like this, just when I opened the city gate for the third time in Qi County to send troops, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves sounded, and tens of thousands of horses came directly with siege equipment. At this point, the officer's eyes were already red, and his eyes were distracted, apparently caught up in the memories of the past.
"The thousands of people sent out by my Qi County, after reacting, they came back to help, but where is the opponent, the thousands of people sent out are a lot, and before they can enter the city, they will be all annihilated outside the city. โ
"I, the county secretary of Qi County, was shot and killed in the middle of defending the city, and he was already killed, and the city was no longer defensible. โ
The reason for this battle is that the border cities never thought that Jucang would use troops against them, and when the Dragon Palace sent troops, how could Jucang use troops against them.
Some time ago, the news that the daughter of Jucang Li Da Simu was arrested by him Pinghe, although they were far away from Pinghe City, they also knew about it after so long, and they knew that Miss Li was already safe and was on the way back to Jucang.
And the messenger who went to Ikura to deliver the news happened to be from him
The county passed by, he couldn't figure it out, he didn't know, the messenger had already died in the governor's mansion in Jucang, and now he was afraid that he couldn't even find a corpse.
Based on these two points, as Bai Fu, the messenger of Dingtai, said, the entire Qixian County did not expect that Jucang would actually use troops against him on the Pinghe border.
As he spoke, the officer suddenly choked up a little, and whispered slowly: "These people who fled with us are only a part, and there are also those who are unwilling to flee, thinking that whoever enters the city is not all Xitui people, and they should be able to stay in peace." โ
But who knew that the people who lived in the warehouse were like crazy, robbing money, robbing people and robbing houses, and for a time the city was mournful. After speaking, the Qixian officer really cried.
"Jucang, Jucang. Song Min couldn't help but clench his fists after hearing this, and his mouth was full of resentment, and he was about to lead someone to kill the general.
"My lord, don't be impulsive, this time Jucang is obviously prepared, in the process of escaping, there are not only people from my county and one city, but several counties have fallen. โ
The Qixian officer hurriedly persuaded, and then said: "The men and horses of Jucang are like mad dogs, and they are still attacking my Pinghe hinterland non-stop, we have someone to go quickly to spread the news, Lord Commander, you don't want to go any further, you better retreat with your subordinates." โ
"Retreat, retreat......" Song Min suddenly muttered in his mouth, and two lines of tears slid down the corners of his eyes.
It's just because he suddenly remembered why he came here, he came here to escort the daughter of the great priest of Jucang, why did he send Miss Li back to Jucang, isn't it just to avoid this battle.
His subordinates, in order to protect the Li Bang'er, left more than a thousand corpses on the bank of the river, and they could never get up, and his subordinates experienced many battles, seriously injured, broken hands and arms, and countless blind legs.
But in the end, yes, Li Bang'er survived, in exchange for what, it was Jucang's attack on him Pinghe, the fall of countless cities, and the wail of the people of Pinghe.
"Ah......" Song Min suddenly looked up at the sky and roared, then pulled out the long knife at his waist and flicked the horse's head: "Retreat and retreat, I will withdraw your grandmother's bear, and the soldiers of the three-pronged battalion of the whole army will listen to the order and attack !!"
