Chapter 746: Looting Grain
The cold wind was bleak, and it was snowing unusually heavily in Youzhou in the north of the empire today, and a black army was walking on the ground with difficulty, and the cavalry on the horse had already been dyed white by the heavy snow. One of the leading generals looked up at the situation on the side of the road, and immediately frowned, there were corpses lying everywhere on the side of the road, these corpses were not the corpses of those divine sect troops in Youzhou, but the corpses of the people. The vast snowfield is full of corpses, and the corpses all over the mountains and the goose-feathered university also made the military general breathe a sigh of relief, but this is still a thing, if it is summer, the situation in the entire Youzhou will be even worse. The money and grain sent by Yizhou have been delivered, and the pair of soldiers are the two people who escorted the money and grain to find the assassin Shi Fang Xuanling and Changshi Du Ruhui in Youzhou.
"General, the road ahead is blocked, are we going to take a detour?" A soldier covered in snow ran over on a war horse with difficulty, and reported to Nian Qianyao, who led the command: "General, because of the heavy snowfall, the bridge on the river in front of me has collapsed, and the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to cross." ”
Nian Qianyao frowned after hearing this, the corpses along the way had clearly told Nian Qianyao about the current situation in Youzhou, if he couldn't send the money and grain to Youzhou as soon as possible, then the situation in Youzhou would be even worse, but the road in front of him was the closest road to Youzhou City, and it would take two or three more days to bypass it, which would undoubtedly make the situation in Youzhou even worse. Nian Qianyao raised his hand to stop the soldiers under his command, beat the horse and walked forward, and the guards around him hurriedly beat the horse and followed. Nian Qianyao followed the scout to the small river that was not wide, and when he saw the situation by the river, his brows immediately furrowed. Nian Qianyao turned over and dismounted, walked to the broken bridge and glanced at it carefully. Suddenly, his face changed.
"The order goes down. The whole army is on alert. Immediately released a distress signal and slowly retreated. Nian Qianyao shouted loudly to the guards around him, and the guards had not yet reacted, but some of the guards turned their horses' heads and ran towards the team, and soon the grain transportation team of less than 5,000 people took out their troops and looked around vigilantly, and the two archers immediately released arrows into the air. The rest of the archers also stood behind the grain carts, and the cavalry scattered to probe the surrounding enemy.
"Kill! Kill such officers and soldiers to snatch food, brother rush with me!" Nian Qianyao had not yet reached the side of the grain truck. Hearing the shouts and killings all over the mountains, his face suddenly changed, the traces of man-made destruction of this bridge were obvious, and the scouts who followed Nian Qianyao suddenly changed their faces when they saw this situation, but they didn't expect that they could not find the enemy after careful searching. Everyone didn't even have time to think carefully, the enemy army all over the mountains surrounded the entire grain transport team, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army tightly held the weapons in their hands and looked at the enemy around them, the shield soldiers raised the big shield in their hands and thrust into the ground, the pikemen and archers in the rear immediately tied up their positions, and soon a ring shield array around the grain cart was formed, and the cavalry roamed around the periphery. It's just that the speed of the cavalry was limited in heavy snow, and the cavalry did not dare to let go of the horse's hooves.
Nian Qianyao looked coldly at the enemy in front of him. None of these people had any decent weapons in their hands, and many of them were even wearing summer clothes, their lips were purple from the cold, and they were shivering. Nian Qianyao took the big knife in his hand and drove the mount that sat down in front of everyone, and glanced around, the enemy surrounding them was at least 50,000 people, and the grain and grass on the grain cart on the snowy day were very heavy, if there was no drag of grain and grass, even if there were another 50,000 people, Nian Qianyao would have the confidence to kill it, but the grain and grass became a burden for Nian Qianyao. The current grain and grass are life-saving grain and grass for Youzhou, and Nian Qianyao does not dare to be careless, and these enemies in front of him also make Nian Qianyao feel compassion.
"Let your leaders come out and answer. "Nian Qianyao walked in front of the team, these people are not the army at all, Nian Qianyao is not willing to clean up these people, of course, Nian Qianyao does not dare to be careless, the current tragic situation of the Divine Cult Army in the square corner is no less than these victims in front of him, these victims are not disguised by the Divine Cult Army Nian Qianyao's heart is not very sure, after all, the situation in the entire Youzhou is very complicated now, the people are soldiers, and the soldiers are the people. Nian Qianyao ordered the soldiers under his command to be on guard, and he took a few steps forward with dozens of guards under his command.
The refugees around are you look at me, I look at you, and soon the crowd separated A rather burly-looking man walked out, the man glanced at Nian Qianyao, looked at the armor on Nian Qianyao with envy, and his eyes quickly returned to normal. The man glanced at Nian Qianyao and said, "Dog officer, put down your grain and grass, you can leave, otherwise the guys in the hands of my tens of thousands of brothers are not vegetarians." ”
"Hmph, don't say that you only have these 50,000 people, even if you have 100,000 more, as long as I want to go out, you don't want to stop me. Nian Qianyao looked coldly at the victims in front of him and said lightly: "I just want to know who you are? ”
"Hmph, you only have 5,000 people on your hands, and here are my 50,000 brothers, do you think you can stop my 50,000 brothers?" Nian Qianyao looked at the man in front of him coldly and said lightly: " You should have seen that I have released a distress signal, but it seems that I am still too cautious, with the 50,000 grass in your hand, I want to destroy you just turn over the palm of your hand, but I will see you pitiful, as long as you put down the weapons in your hands and surrender, you will be able to let you live, and now the new assassin of Youzhou, Lord Xuanling, has been in Youzhou City to help the victims, you put down the weapons in your hands, and follow the generals to Youzhou City to ask for guilt, and you will be able to save you from death. ”
"Hmph, you dog officers are all people on the same road, don't think we don't know what you're thinking, don't you just trick us to Youzhou City and kill those of us who can't be recharged? As soon as Nian Qianyao's words fell, suddenly a cold voice came out of the team, and everyone made a way, and a woman in tattered clothes walked out of the team, the woman's face was pale, and her body was even more because of the long-term yin and yang poor weight loss, like a piece of paper, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, giving people a feeling of infinite distress.
"Hmph, if our Shenwu Army needs to recruit soldiers, we don't want you people. Nian Qianyao looked at the woman coldly and said, "Our Shenwu Army is fighting in various places in the empire, and you should know very well whether there is anything that harms the people. As for you people, the old and the young, they can't even cross the threshold of the Shenwu Army, as for what you said, I will tell you clearly now, the grain and grass that Ben will escort will be sent to Youzhou City and handed over to Lord Xuanling of the Assassin Shi Fang, so that he can help you disaster victims, believe it or not, it is your business. ”
"Hmph, Dog Officer, don't think that you can deceive us brothers with your rhetoric, Dog Officer put down the grain and grass, I can guarantee that your people can leave safely, otherwise you will all die." The woman looked at Nian Qianyao in front of her coldly, pulled out the weapon in her hand and pointed at Nian Qianyao coldly, and everyone who was surrounded by the Shenwu Army also drew out their weapons and walked a few steps forward, Nian Geng snorted coldly, the knife in his hand was horizontal, and the archers behind him pulled the bowstring one after another, and a bowstring pulling sound sounded, and everyone's faces suddenly changed.
Boom, just as everyone was confronting, the earth shook tremblingly, and the heavy snow could not hide the heavy murderous aura. A detachment of cavalry rushed towards this side in the heavy snow. A cold smile hung on the corner of Nian Qianyao's mouth, but soon his face was as ugly as the faces of these people in front of him, the cavalry that rushed over was not the cavalry of the Shenwu Army, and the yellow battle flag told everyone that the person who came was the Shenwu Army that the Shenwu Army had been looking for. Nian Qianyao never expected that he would seduce the Divine Sect Army with a distress signal, and looking at the heavy snow set off by the cavalry, the number was at least more than 20,000.
Ahh The cavalry swarmed and the cavalry instantly broke up the formation of the enemy in front of them, the sharp blade cut through the fragile blood vessels of the enemy in front of them, and the screams filled the entire battlefield, and the heavy snow seriously hindered the cavalry's charge, so that the panicked crowd finally got a chance to breathe, and the panicked crowd ran around, screaming, and blood constantly impacted everyone's sight.
"The whole army is arrayed, hold the grain trucks, the Shenwu army, fight!" Nian Qianyao raised the weapon in his hand with a solemn face and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him, the soldiers behind Nian Qianyao shouted loudly and turned around, the heavy shield was fiercely inserted into the ground under the soldiers' shouts in unison, and the pikemen behind him rumbled over, leaning the spears in their hands on the shoulders of their comrades. The archers also pulled up their bowstrings one after another and shot the positioning arrows in their hands.
"Get your people out of the way, or you'll be killed. Nian Qianyao coldly looked at the chaotic escape of the people who came to hijack the grain and grass and shouted, Nian Qianyao looked at the people who were gradually moving towards the grain cart around him, and suddenly shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order, and those who dare to approach the grain cart will be killed!"
