majestic tiger

Chapter 1042 Encounter
Nie Xin, Wang Liang and Dai Fei led the way, and happily led the general and soldiers into Wei County.

Wang Liang and Dai Fei walked with their heads held high, their weapons imposing, and the frontier army was well-organized, mighty and majestic, and they were always victorious with iron horses and golden weapons. Naturally, they couldn't lose face to the frontier army.

After entering the city, Nie Xin took care of it himself, and Wang Liang and Dai Fei, who were basically half masters of Wei County, got busy and quickly settled the soldiers properly.

The soldiers who have been on the road for two days feel at home here.

The general has an order to let everyone rest in Wei County for a good night, and then set off tomorrow morning.

So after a sumptuous dinner, the soldiers packed up and slept soundly on the warm kang.

After waking up the next day, everyone felt refreshed and their physical strength was restored.

After breakfast, the frontier city army was ready to leave, and almost all the people in Wei County came out of the city to see them off.

The common people came to support the old and the young, and lined the road to see off the soldiers.Some people gave food to the soldiers, some gave good shoes, and some gave lucky bags that symbolized safety... The gates of the city were crowded with people, even more lively than the New Year.

The hands of the soldiers were more or less stuffed. They smiled and were moved, and the motivation in their hearts became stronger. They tried their best to defeat the rebels, defeat the Western soldiers, defend their homes and countries, and stabilize the country. Return it to the folks of Dongyuan.

Father Yun Xia walked at the front of the team, walking side by side with Nie Xin, while Wei Hang and Yun Xia followed behind.

After leaving the city gate, Father Yunxia stood still and said goodbye to Nie Xin, and told him again: "Master Nie, please send it here, please stay.

After we leave, close the city gate as soon as possible and strengthen the city defense. The situation is tense recently, so be careful in everything. "

Nie Xin admired General Huwei very much. During this short meeting, he had a better impression of General Huwei and admired him even more.

So he hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "My lord general is right, Nie must lead the people of Wei County to guard the city with all their heart, and keep the side of Wei County safe."

"Uncle Nie, the general has left Brother Quan and Brother Luo behind, and they will help you defend the city." Wei Hang pointed to Quan Zhe and Luo Jiang over there.

"Are they willing to stay?" Nie Xin couldn't believe it, and looked at Quan Zhe and Dong Jiang who were joking with the brothers.

He had talked to Quan Zhe and Luo Jiang before, hoping that they would stay, but the two brothers declined his request at that time, expressing to him their determination to go to the capital with the general to rescue them, and even begged him to let them go One horse, let them realize their long-awaited dreams.

Why did they suddenly change their minds?

Wei Hang nodded and explained the reason to Nie Xin: "The general persuaded them. They realized that they could make meritorious deeds and play a bigger role if they stayed, so they changed their minds."

Father Yun Xia confirmed Wei Hang's words, smiled and reassured him, telling him that Quan Zhe and Luo Jiang would stay after saying goodbye to their brothers.

Congratulations to him, leaving Wang Liang and Dai Fei as good helpers, and replacing him with Quan Zhe and Luo Jiang.These two people are locals and have been trained in the border city barracks, so they can improve the city defense force of Wei County.

The two of them also expressed that they would select able-bodied men from the city to enrich the city defense team and train them. If the rebels invaded, at least they could resist for a certain period of time.

Nie Xin didn't know how the general persuaded Quan Zhe and Luo Jiang, and he didn't ask, but just kept thanking the general.

After knowing that Wang Liang and Dai Fei were here, he didn't have to worry about the city defense at all, and he was really flustered when they left suddenly.It's all right now, the general has thought carefully and left Quan Zhe and Luo Jiang for him, so he has a solid foundation for the city defense.

He has nothing to repay the general's kindness to him and to Wei County, he can only do his own job well.

At this time, Quan Zhe and Luo Jiang stood beside him, one left and one right, and Nie Xin led them to salute the general deeply. After the general returned the salute, he took the reins from the soldiers, got on his horse and left.

The three of Nie Xin, his subordinates, and the people of Wei County stood at the gate of the city, watching the border troops leave until they were out of sight.

Because they rested in Wei County, the soldiers marched faster and did not rest on the way. They did not rest until Liang County. The border soldiers who had stayed in Liang County also asked to return. With their help, they have improved a lot, so they acquiesced in their return.

Including the soldiers returning from Wei County, the team has increased by more than [-] people, which has added a lot of strength.

Not long after starting from Liang County, they arrived at the mountain where Yunxia and the others found the weapon.

Father Yunxia had already heard from Yunxia and Wei Hang that he had discovered the detailed process of fighting the Xibing soldiers here, so before entering the mountain, he specially passed an order to the soldiers to advance through the mountains at full speed.

The mountain road is very quiet, only the sound of soldiers from the border towns marching, the hooves of cavalry, the footsteps of infantry, the sound of wheels transporting grain and grass, and the sound of the wind blowing through the forest...

Father Yunxia, ​​who was in the former army, rode on a tall horse, with a straight posture and a majestic appearance.

He listened with his ears open, and everything was normal, but he felt uneasy for no reason, and his brows slowly furrowed.

The general who has galloped on the battlefield for many years, experienced hundreds of battles, and faced life and death many times has an intuition beyond ordinary people, and he feels the danger is coming.

Father Yunxia turned his gaze to the forest on the left, there was nothing unusual about the forest, but that was just the conclusion one would get if one didn't look carefully, but Father Yunxia looked very carefully, and he found subtle traces of people walking through the forest, even though they walked by People deliberately covered up.

So he pulled the reins, sat down and immediately slowed down the horse. Father Yunxia waved his hand and ordered the team to stop.

The Xirong soldiers and Shen Qiufeng's people had all acted on this mountain before. After Shen Qiufeng rebelled, both the Xirong King and Shen Qiufeng himself knew that he would definitely bring his troops back to the capital to rescue him, and he would definitely think about it. way to block.

But they came all the way from the border town unimpeded, and the two forces of Xirong and Shen Qiufeng did not harass Liang County and Wei County, and they seemed to have no interest in the west.

But he knew that it was impossible for these guys to remain silent, perhaps the temporary security was to cover up their real purpose.

Not only Yunxia's father, but also Weihang and Yunxia who were walking in the Chinese army at this time also keenly sensed the strangeness.

"Wei Hang, let's look for my father. This Shanxi soldier and Shen Weixuan are very familiar with it, and there is a high possibility of setting up an ambush here." Yunxia looked around and turned her head to suggest to Wei Hang.

Weihang didn't speak, jumped off his horse and ran to a thick and tall tree by the side of the road, then swished up, climbed all the way to a high place, stood on the branch of the tree and looked around.

He saw a mass of scorched earth in an open space in the forest in the distance, which was left after the shack built in front of the cave where the weapons were hidden was burned.

Moving his gaze to the side, there are several small groups of scorched earth not far from the scorched earth. Wei Hang narrowed his eyes and understood what was going on.

Without delay for a moment, he slid down the big tree as fast as he could, and told Yunxia that your senses were accurate, there was indeed an ambush in the mountains, and we hurried to tell the general.

Yun Xia pointed to her father who was riding a horse and said, "No need, my father has already come, it seems that he has already found out."

"Woo!" Father Yunxia, ​​who was galloping over, reined in the reins. After the horse stopped, he ordered solemnly: "It seems that we are going to meet the enemy here! Pass on my order: the middle and rear troops will go there immediately." Go to the open area and stay away from the woods here."

Soon, the middle and rear troops ran to the right in the direction designated by the general, while Yun Xia and Wei Hang followed Yun Xia's father and led the front army that had become the rear army to press the formation.

"General, I found a lot of fires over there. The enemy should be lurking in the woods ahead. If we don't go there, they must be coming soon." Wei Hang reported to Father Yunxia, ​​and turned his head to order Yunxia: "Yunxia, ​​follow everyone first."

"Xia'er, listen to Hang'er." Yun Xia's father Su Rong agreed.
