Chapter 129: Yan Country Raid!
Along the way, the catchers from the county government whispered about the wolves in the mountains and forests, and also talked about the little lady of the Xiao family at the front of the team.
Xiao Ding, who listened to all kinds of sayings, was stunned for a moment, and it was even more exciting than the story of the storyteller in Dongfang City.
Nie Chen pressed against the back of the team, holding the reins in one hand and the little gray wolf sleeping in his arms with the other.
He couldn't understand why this wolf cub was still grinning at him just now, and now he could sleep in his arms so peacefully.
This wolf cub, are you really not afraid to slaughter and eat it yourself?
The most nervous thing in the whole team was Meng Fang, who looked around the quiet around vigilantly, afraid that at some moment a few killers or spirits would come out to block their path.
But I don't know if it's because Xiao Qingtian is there, or because they are secretive and thoughtful and unnoticed.
He was about to enter the patrol range of the Xiao Jiajun in front of him, and there were no accidents.
"Uncle Meng don't have to worry, we will send the food back to the barracks smoothly."
Feeling a piece of pastry from her sleeve, the little girl said vaguely while eating, "No one dares to stop us." ”
Meng Fang knew that although Su Qingtian was young, she would do what she said, no matter how small it was, she said that there was something, and no one could stop her.
With the little girl's assurance, the worries gradually dissipated, and the speed of driving the carriage became faster and faster as the worries dissipated.
Since there will be no obstacles, it is naturally better to arrive at the barracks a moment earlier.
This acceleration also led to the acceleration of the carriage following behind him.
The catchers were in a hurry for a while, and they were scolded by Wang Zhutou for being bloody.
Meng Fang calculated in his mind the shortest distance he could meet the Xiao family's army, and within a quarter of an hour, a group of carriages and horses came to the periphery of the military camp.
Before they could get close to the gate, two soldiers stopped them from the shadows.
"It's me."
Before the soldier could speak, his eyes lit up at the sound of a familiar voice.
After looking at it again, it was actually General Meng Fang, who had been missing for many days, and a smile instantly appeared on his tense face.
"General Meng, you can be regarded as appearing!"
One of them looked at Meng Fang with admiration and said, "I heard that Hu San and Li Si said that you were in distress halfway, and the general ordered people to look for you in the surrounding area for many days without success, we all thought you were killed!" ”
"yes." Another answered, "The general has been sad for a long time, and he has let the soldiers in the army eat meat for three days as a memorial." ”
The first half was fine, but the second half was full of laughter.
I'm afraid that only he knows where General Xiao asked the soldiers to quit meat in order to pay tribute to himself, and it was indeed because the food in the army was no longer able to support it for a few days, so he had to find a reason to save some food.
"General Meng."
Looking at the chariot and horses following Meng Fang and the people in official uniforms on the chariot, the soldier asked in a low voice, "Who are these people?" ”
Except for official business, the military is not allowed to enter the county government at will, let alone arrest the government officials.
Looking at the guarded appearance of the soldiers, Meng Fang replied in a low voice, "Hu San, what they said is right, we were indeed ambushed that day. ”
"Coincidentally, Wang Zhutou of Fengcheng took his subordinates out of the city to handle the case and rescued the general, and escorted the general back by the way."
Hearing that it was General Meng's life-saving benefactor, the two soldiers hurriedly thanked Wang Zhutou and the others.
Wang Zhukuai and his party, who had not heard their conversation at all, looked at the soldiers who suddenly thanked them with a confused expression.
"This ......"
Su Qingtian on the little white horse is particularly eye-catching, Meng Fang has not yet married, where did this little baby come from?
"This is the little lady of Xiao Mansion, General Xiao has not returned home for a few days, and she wants her grandfather to come and see it."
"Little Miss is well."
There is an extra little lady in the Xiao Mansion, and they naturally know that this is the pearl that General Xiao often mentions these days.
Although the king's first few men were given the title of saviors, the soldiers dutifully and carefully inspected everyone, including the inside and outside of the carriage.
After confirming that there is nothing abnormal, he waved open the door and let them in.
Meng Fang led several wagons directly to the location of the granary, and along the way, soldiers greeted him with happy expressions.
The soldiers at the door of the granary saw that Meng Fang had brought so much grain, and hurriedly beckoned people to help unload the grain.
All the way into the barracks, Meng Fang noticed a hint of strangeness, and the number of soldiers everywhere today was very small.
He grabbed a passing soldier and asked, "Where is the general now?" ”
"Yan Guo suddenly called, and the general led his troops to meet the battle."
"Yanguo? Why did you suddenly call at this time?! ”
Hearing that the battle broke out, Meng Fang couldn't help frowning and asked, "But when they learned that General Ben was not in the army, they decided to attack Fengcheng secretly?" ”
The soldier shook his head and denied, "There is speculation in the army that you were killed, but it has not been confirmed. ”
"Although General Xiao is depressed about your disappearance, he has always handled military affairs properly, and Yan Guo and the other two countries have not made any moves recently."
"But for some reason, just an hour ago, the Yan Kingdom suddenly raised troops and raided near Montenegro."
Hearing the news of his death and not leaving, Meng Fang was slightly relieved.
If someone in the army really colludes with the enemy country and releases the news of his death, I am afraid that the three kingdoms will attack Fengcheng at the same time, and then the news may not have time to reach the capital, and Fengcheng will fall.
Now that Yan Guo chose to suddenly send troops today, it seems that there are other unknown circumstances.
However, Yan Guo's previous style of behavior was not like this, and it seems that this raid was strange.
Meng Fang stood at the door of the granary, silently watching the soldiers put the grain in place, and his inner thoughts had already turned a thousand times.
Yanguo is the favorite of the other two countries to provoke war, and they always like to harass Fengcheng by sneak attacks and other means that can't wait for the table, and of course they will harass the other two countries.
But usually it is only for some small interests, deliberately trying to separate the soldiers' minds.
For Yan Guo's methods, Meng Fang and Old General Xiao both knew.
If it is just a surprise attack, the number of opponents will not be very large, and it is believed that the general will be able to return to the camp safely before evening.
"Report !!!"
The sound of hurried voices came from far and near.
As soon as Meng Fang turned around, a gray-faced soldier with blood stains and wounds on his body turned over and dismounted and knelt down in front of him.
"General Meng, the Xiao family's army has been defeated by the Yan Kingdom!"
"The general is trapped and urgently needs reinforcements to relieve the siege!"
This voice directly attracted everyone's attention, and Su Qingtian and Nie Chen, who were eating pastries under the gazebo in the distance, also turned their heads to look.
"The generals are like gods, how can they be besieged by the Yan Kingdom?!" Meng Fang was a little unconvinced, "Say, what's going on?!" ”
"General Qiqimeng, the warlock from which Yan Guo found it out of nowhere, manipulated more than a dozen fierce tigers to fight, causing our army to be defeated again and again."
"The general bravely killed two tigers, but there were too many tigers, and our army was besieged by tigers and could not escape."
