Chapter 231: Attacked
On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and the defenders of the entire Prison City began to move, and the various Tianjiao soldiers were full of momentum and stood on both sides of the barracks with high fighting spirit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Not long after, Yiliang's prisoner cart, wrapped in iron sheets, was pulled by five tall horses and slowly drove into the barracks.
The whole prison cart was airtight, like a piece of iron, and the portraits of evil spirits were carved all around, which made people feel terrified and chilled after looking at it.
Cha Xing was originally on vacation by Governor Wang, and he was still resting at home, and he was not arranged for affairs, but he was urgently called to the city gate in the early morning, and he was called over by Lu Jiang just after arranging his team.
"General Lu, what are the arrangements for your subordinates?"
Cha Xing looked at Lu Jiang with some puzzlement, with his identity, he couldn't speak to Lu Jiang, although the two sides knew each other, but that's all.
"Lieutenant Cha, this task of guarding the prisoner car is entrusted to you, you need to be more careful. ”
Cha Xing was a little puzzled, because he was only a lieutenant, but he was arranged for such a big thing, but he still called his team.
Although he knew that taking care of the prisoner car was a dangerous errand, with so many brothers from Tianjiao Warriors, he was also relieved in his heart, so he didn't think much about it.
Seeing that the rectification was completed, Cha Anguo rode on a horse and came to the front of the team.
"Let's go!"
I saw him wave with one hand, and the huge team behind him was like a long snake, slowly walking out of the city.
This time, Prayer Hell City has drawn out more than half of the defenders, including nearly thirty Tianjiao soldiers in the team except for the Tianjiao soldiers who take care of the Black Tower, and there are thousands of people in the Guangdong Yan Army and the Chidi Army, and they are all cavalry. At the same time, there were large carts moving slowly, as if it were going to be a long march.
For escorting a prisoner, such a scale is a bit wasteful.
The army marched through the wide streets and walked towards the outside of the city, and the residents of the city gathered on both sides of the road in surprise, pointing at the black prisoner cart in the center of the procession.
There were also some people, after seeing the prisoner van, their eyes lit up, and they turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Among these crowds, there were two fortune tellers in white robes and banners, and after seeing this scene, they looked at each other, and then a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
Time is at noon in a blink of an eye, and Yanzhou in the summer is like a furnace, about to evaporate everything, and the pedestrians on the road also seem to have been evaporated, and they can't see a single one.
In the summer of Yanzhou, this kind of weather is very common, just like the snow in Hanzhou, the rain in Huazhou, and the flying sand in Huangzhou, which has become a unique local characteristic.
Although in the eyes of the people of Yanzhou, this kind of weather must be accepted every day, but they still try to avoid rushing at noon.
Cha Anguo rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, he looked back at the battleless soldiers who had been baked, and his heart was worried. Not only are people drowsy from the sun, but even the very heat-tolerant Yanzhou Gaoma is a little unbearable.
That's it, Cha Anguo didn't stop the team, and he ate lunch while walking.
Strangely, they did not encounter any of them this morning, only a few suspicious-looking people on horseback, and followed them far behind. And the team of 1,000 people has been dragging and dragging for three or four miles because of the large carts in the middle.
Although it was his plan to lengthen the team, Cha Anguo was still uneasy, after all, he just wanted to reduce casualties when the team was attacked. He had ordered his sentries to step up patrols around the area.
Due to the slow movement of the team, they had only advanced a little more than twenty miles so far, and came to a gentle area.
"Your Excellency!"
At this time, Lu Jiang came to Cha Anguo's side quickly, his hair was wet with sweat on his head, and said: "I have looked around, but I have not found any trace of the martial artist, and the few people who followed behind were also very careful. ”
Zha Anguo sighed: "Hey, the more this is the case, the more uneasy I feel in my heart." ”
Lu Jiang nodded and said, "Well, it is estimated that they will come out in the evening, and they will also wait for our army to be tired before starting." ”
He looked at the soldiers behind him again, and said to Cha Anguo: "My lord, the soldiers are already tired, if you continue to walk, I am afraid that you will not be able to resist the enemy by then." There's a little river right in front of us, and we can take a break there. ”
"Okay. ”
Cha Anguo thought about it for a while, and then agreed, but the small river was still a long way from them, and it made these soldiers suffer.
"How's Wei Buyu?"
Zha Anguo asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
Lu Jiang said with a smile: "It's still like that, sleeping in the prison car, it's just that the prison car is like a steamer, I'm afraid this fat man will lose more than ten pounds, haha!"
"This boy has been honest since he entered the stone tower. ”
Zha Anguo said with some meaning, and suddenly, he changed his words and said in a low voice: "Has the person who leaked the news found out?"
These days, Lu Jiang seems to be very idle, but in private, he has been investigating who leaked Wei Buyu's news.
"No, but I'm sure this guy must be on our team right now!"
After saying this, Lu Jiang rode his horse backwards and shouted in a loud voice: "Brothers, hurry up, there is a small river in front, let's rest there!"
"Yes!"
The excited voices of the soldiers came from below, and as soon as they heard that they could rest, their spirits were lifted one by one.
An hour later, the serpentine procession finally came to the edge of a small river.
The river is not big, only more than two zhang wide, and it is not particularly deep, and you can see the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river when you stand on the bank.
However, at this time, the river is also like boiling, and only the bottom part will have a hint of coolness, and that's it, enough to make the warriors happy.
Some of the cavalry of the Chidi Army were the first to arrive, and they were seen lining up in a long line along the river, dismounting and preparing in an orderly manner, removing the black cloth from several large carriages and building a long shed to shield them from the scorching sun.
Even when it was resting, there were some people riding horses and keeping watch around.
Later soldiers did not gather together, but also built sheds along the river, and the whole army began to enter a state of disorder
Cha Xing led his team and stopped, he was only a dozen zhang away from the team led by Lu Jiang and Cha Anguo. This day's running also made him tired and rested around the prisoner's car.
One handed a pot of cool river water to Cha Xing and said, "Lieutenant, drink some water, I just scooped it up from the river." ”
Cha Xing took the kettle, drank more than half of it in one gulp, burped contentedly, leaned on the wheels of the prisoner car, and was a little drowsy.
"It would be nice if it were at home. ”
At this time, Yu Yulan's face appeared in front of Cha Xing, as well as his pair of children.
Thinking of his wife and children at home, Cha Xing fell asleep with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, the soldier did not disturb him, and paid full attention to the movements around him.
Cha Xing didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he saw his wife and children in the dream with sad faces, as if they were going to say something to him, and he was about to step forward to listen carefully, when a sharp shout suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Who !!?"
The guards were immediately on alert, geared up, mounted on horses, and searched for the source of the sound.
Surprisingly, this warning did not come from the sentinels in the distance, but sounded in the ranks of their approach, and it was none other than Lu Jiang, who appeared in front of him while he was sleeping.
At this time, Lu Jiang and Zha Anguo looked at the suspicious person who suddenly appeared in front of them with cold faces.
Without any warning, the soldiers patrolling on the two floors had already been killed, and when Lu Jiang noticed it, this person had already come next to them, wrapped in black veil, and the position behind him seemed to be slightly raised, and he should be carrying a weapon on his back.
The accident happened at the front of the line, and the soldiers behind had no idea what was going on in front of them, and Cha Xing jumped up when he was awakened, only to see only one person standing there.
The man stood thirty paces away from the front of the team, there was only one person, but he was not afraid, only to see him slowly take off the black cloth on his face, and said hoarsely: "Give Wei Buyu to me, I will give you a way to live!"
"Bloodstained Knife Pu Jinglong!"
The moment the man took off the black cloth, Lu Jiang and Zha Anguo recognized his identity.
I saw Lu Jiang take a step forward and said arrogantly: "Pu Jinglong, I can't hear what you just said." But since you're here, let's go live in the stone tower for a while!"
Lu Jiang said this arrogantly, but there was no lie, and it also shocked the spirits of the soldiers around him, you know, this is a member of the Longxiang Knights, the most powerful force in the Cangguo.
Pu Jinglong smiled "haha", walked forward quickly, and said: "Lu Jiang, you are right, I can't be your opponent alone. It's just that, you know, I'm not the only enemy!"
With that, he slowly pulled out the long knife behind him, and in an instant, a cold wind hit Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang's face remained unchanged, the internal qi in his body gushed out, blowing the cold wind away, and his eyes looked at the blood-red long knife in Pu Jinglong's hand with some solemnity.
It is rumored that the long knife in Pu Jinglong's hand is just an ordinary thing, but he never cleaned the knife after killing people, so that in the end, the knife was covered with a thick layer of blood scabs.
After a long time, the blood scab seemed to be stretched on the blade of the knife, and the ordinary steel knife also became a powerful weapon, and the nickname of the bloodstained knife came from this.
At this time, a sentry arranged around hurried back and said breathlessly: "My lord, it's not good! Many unknown people suddenly appeared around, and they were rushing here!
"How many!"
Zha Anguo's heart moved, and he said in his heart: "It's still here that should come!"
The sentry replied, "I don't know, anyway, there are a lot, and all of them are warriors, and all the sentinels on the periphery have been killed by them!"
