Chapter 128: Hand-to-hand
Fielding leaned back and tightened his grip on the horse's reins, then he reached out and made a "stop" gesture, and the city guards behind him immediately stopped.
At this time, the distance between Fielding and Situ Jin was less than fifty meters. Fielding's gaze swept over the people behind Situ Jin, and found that these people were all ragged and embarrassed, he frowned slightly, and already had a guess about the identities of these people.
"What's the matter?Commander Fielding, did you bring so many people here to kill me?" Situ Jin looked at Fielding from afar, and his tone was not salty or light.
Fielding looked at Situ Jin and did not speak.
The city guards standing behind him looked puzzled, obviously not knowing what the purpose of their trip was, and most of them looked at the ragged people standing behind Situ Jin, and they were all guessing in their hearts where so many beggars came from all at once.
As for the existence of the Purple Mother Mine under Tias, most of the city defense troops did not know about it, except for a few officers, including Fielding. However, the two thousand people plus the one thousand people who were taken away by Bowman were all personal soldiers trained by Fielding, and their loyalty to Fielding was extremely high. Since Fielding brought these people out, he naturally trusted them very much.
"Young Master Situ, I heard that you have discovered something that you shouldn't have discovered, and now there are many people who want you to die immediately!" Fielding's voice suddenly sounded.
Looking at Fielding on the horse and the majestic city guards standing behind him, the eyes of those who escaped from the mine with Situ Jin leaked a trace of panic and timidity, although everyone did not expect to be free after coming out of the mine, but everyone did not expect that the people who captured them would come so quickly, this was really just escaped from the wolf's den, and they immediately encountered a group of tigers, and a sad mood gradually spread to everyone.
Situ Jin smiled coldly: "There are a lot of people?!These people also include you, Lord Commander, right?"
To Situ Jin's surprise, Fielding shook his head: "Not including me!" After speaking, Fielding's expression changed, and his face was a little anxious: "Young Master Situ, you quickly take these people out of the city, I will let the city guards let you go! Without further ado! You go with me immediately!"
Although Tias is a small border city, because of its geographical location, the city defense army adds up to 10,000 people. Although Fielding is the commander of the city defense army, the ten thousand city defense troops are not completely loyal to him, and Fielding also knows this. Because of this, he wanted to release Situ Jin and others out of the city.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a discordant voice sounded behind him: "Fielding, it seems that Lord Chengsi is right, you really plan to betray Lord Chengsi, right?"
Fielding turned around and saw Bowman in the lead, followed by three or five hundred men, running all the way to him. Seeing this, Fielding's eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he recognized that the people who followed Bowman were not the ones he had sent to Bowman before.
"Bowman," Fielding's mind stalled for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Bowman had run less than five meters away from him.
"What are you!" Bowman changed his respectful appearance when facing Fielding in the past, and said in a condescending tone: "Fielding, Lord Chengsi ordered you to kill this group of fugitives, and you actually planned to let these people go without permission, did you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?!"
Fielding's gaze stayed on Bowman's face for a long time, and then he smiled bitterly twice: "I see!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Bowman burst into a foul language, and then said: "Fielding, you let the fugitive privately, the crime is unforgivable, if you know each other, you will be arrested immediately!"
"Hmph!" Fielding's face turned cold, he glanced back at Situ Jin, and then turned to Bowman again, and said, "Bowman, do you think you can stop me with just your little bit?!"
"Hahaha!" Hearing Fielding's words, Bowman suddenly burst out laughing, and then said: "Fielding, do you think I really only brought so many people here? To tell you the truth, this place has been surrounded by my people! Not to mention you, even those deserters will die here today!"
"You" Hearing Bowman's words, Fielding's expression was shocked, he looked around, and found that there were indeed some dark shadows in the distance that kept flickering, and knew that what Bowman said was true.
Ever since he heard Fielding say that he wanted to let his people out of the city, Situ Jin's heart was a little surprised, and now that he heard the conversation between Fielding and Bowman, he already had a rough guess about the matter in his heart.
Seeing that Gao Wen hadn't rushed over with the [13th Battalion] yet, Situ Jin's mind turned sharply. If he was alone, of course he would have been able to escape quickly, but the problem was that he was still followed by thousands of people! These people were extremely weak because they had been enslaved for a long time, not to mention that they had no combat strength at all, and even running was a problem.
At this moment, Bowman had already let out a loud shout, and rode straight towards Fielding. Less than two meters from Fielding, Bowman drew the sword at his waist, then leaped from his horse and slashed at Fielding.
At the same time, Situ Jin found that a large number of city defense troops were coming towards them on both sides. Hearing this secret and heavy footsteps, everyone who followed Situ Jin looked frightened, Dorn stayed by Situ Jin's side, he was already very weak, he simply sat on the ground, looking at the city defense army running in the distance, and also had a desperate look.
Situ Jin raised his eyebrows, hesitating whether to send everyone back to the mine, after all, there is a formation at the entrance of the mine, so it is safer for everyone to enter. But he was afraid that among these people who came, there were people who knew the formation, and if these people broke the formation and went in and blocked everyone inside, then all that awaited everyone would be death.
Fielding also noticed the situation on Situ Jin's side, he drew his sword in one hand and blocked Bowman's downward slash, but on the other side, he turned his head sideways and said to those people standing behind him: "Hurry up and protect those people, they shouldn't die here!"
Fielding gave an order, although he didn't quite understand what was going on, but half of the city guards behind him immediately ran towards Situ Jin's side, at this moment, Fielding suddenly felt a pain in his arm, he turned around, and found that his arm was slashed by Bowman because he had just been distracted, and blood flowed down his elbow, and half of his arm was instantly dyed red.
"Hmph, it's all at this time, you still have the heart to care about other people's lives and deaths!" Bowman sneered, and slashed at Fielding again.
