My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 937 Rescue (Part )

"elder sister!"

Young Sarah tightly grasped her sister's sleeves, her big eyes full of fear.

“Sarah, don’t be afraid, sister will protect you!”

Aili held the short knife in one hand and hugged her sister's trembling shoulders with the other.

Through the car window, one could see a brutal fight going on outside. The guards protecting Aili were fighting with a group of enemies dressed as bandits. Although these guards were all elites around Ulugh Beg, they There were many bandits on the opposite side, several times their number. Faced with the siege of these bandits, the guards stood and retreated, and from time to time someone fell on the battlefield.

Ayili watched those loyal guards fall down one after another, with a look of nervousness on her beautiful little face.

A few days ago, before entering the territory of the Han Dynasty, they encountered a bandit attack. The leader of the guard, Heizan, felt that something was wrong, so he immediately set off overnight, hoping to enter the territory of the Han Dynasty earlier.

In fact, they did succeed. At the moment they crossed the border, everyone thought they were safe. Even Heizan relaxed his vigilance, and Ayili felt that her hanging heart was finally relieved.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the territory of the Han Dynasty and were about to arrive at Peshawar, they were suddenly attacked by a group of thousands of bandits. This group of bandits was not only large in number but also well-trained. In the blink of an eye, they killed Ayili Their troops surrounded and launched a strong attack.

Although Heizan reacted quickly and personally directed the guards to defend, he could only temporarily withstand the siege of the bandits. As time went by, the defense line continued to shrink and could not last long.

In this case, Hezan decisively sent a small team to help them break out of the siege, and then asked for help from Peshawar City. After all, this place is not far from Peshawar. If the big man knew that their mission was besieged, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch. present.

The bandits also knew that time was running out, so after the people who asked for help escaped, they also attacked desperately, hoping to control the Aili sisters in the convoy before the reinforcements of the big man arrived.

But Heizan was not a vegetarian. While killing the enemy himself, he shouted that this is a big man and reinforcements will be here soon. This also made the guards maintain high fighting spirit despite heavy casualties, making it impossible for the bandits to break through their weak points. line of defense.

However, as time went by, the casualties of the guards became greater and greater, and the defense line became weaker and weaker. Even Heizan himself was seriously injured, with several long arrows stuck in his chest. Fortunately, they were blocked by the leather armor and could not penetrate the flesh. Deep, otherwise he would have fallen.

Looking at the heavily wounded guards outside, Aili showed a look of determination. She lowered her head and whispered to Sarah, "Sarah, close your eyes. I will take you to find your father and mother!"

"Where are father and mother, and how do we find them?"

Sara raised her fearful little face and asked with a trembling voice.

"You close your eyes, we will see father and mother soon!"

Ayili held back her tears and said again. The knuckles of her little hand holding the dagger turned white because of too much force.

"Well, I believe sister!"

Sara nodded obediently, and then closed her big eyes, but the tear stains on her small face were particularly conspicuous. At this moment, Ayili finally couldn't help it, and tears burst out, but she gritted her teeth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound, and then slowly raised the dagger.

However, at this critical moment, suddenly a "boom" was heard in the distant sky.

Ayili immediately turned around and saw a red signal bomb exploding in the sky in the distance, followed by a second and third one...

"Big Han... Big Han's reinforcements have arrived!"

The seriously injured guard leader Heizan saw the flare in the sky and immediately shouted excitedly. He, who was seriously injured, didn't know where he came from. He jumped up and killed two bandits who rushed in.

When the other guards saw the signal flares in the air, they were all invigorated. The already shaky defense line suddenly became impenetrable.

In contrast, the robbers under siege became a little riotous, and some even wanted to withdraw from the battlefield and escape. After all, they all knew the strength of the Han army. If they were caught by the opponent, they would definitely be dead or alive.

The bandit leader commanding from behind originally wanted to attack by force. After all, judging from the direction of the signal flares, it would take some time for the Han army to arrive. If they could break through the defense line during this time, they could capture the two princesses in the car. , then their task will be completed, and they will have endless wealth in the future.

But it is a pity that although these bandits are greedy for money, they are also more afraid of death. At first, only a few people withdrew from the battlefield, but these people led more people. After all, no one is a fool. Facing the Han army, they have no choice. There is no strength to resist, but as long as you run faster than your companions, there is a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, most of the bandits who were murderous just now fled with a "hoo!". Seeing that there was nothing they could do, the bandit leader could only curse angrily, then turned his horse and fled towards the border.

Seeing that the boss had escaped, the remaining half naturally followed suit. Heizan and his guards only felt the pressure lighten. Before they had time to celebrate, most of them fell to the ground, gasping and standing still. Can't even stand up.

Ayili in the carriage never dreamed that at this critical moment of life and death, the reinforcements of the big man would actually arrive. This made her whole body go limp, and the dagger in her hand fell into the carriage, and then she hugged her sister and burst into tears.

Zhu Qiming took the lead and led 3,000 cavalry to finally kill him. He saw that the originally wide official road was full of corpses of people and horses. There were more than a dozen carts forming a circle in the middle, forming a simple defense. The bodies were piled up, almost burying the carriage.

"Chase! Anyone who dares to attack and kill the envoy in the Han Dynasty will be killed!"

Zhu Qiming looked at the bandits desperately fleeing in the distance, and immediately gave an order to the cavalry behind him.

The cavalry general agreed, and immediately sent out a thousand cavalrymen to chase the bandits in the direction of their escape. Their horses were strong, but the opponent had been fighting for a long time, and the horses were very consumed, so the opponent would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Han cavalry.

After Zhu Qiming sent people to chase the robbers, he rode forward and shouted loudly to the envoys who were defending the carriage: "Zhu Qiming, the prince of the Han Dynasty, has been ordered to come to greet the Timur envoy!"

"The mighty prince!"

Ayili in the carriage was very surprised when she heard the noise outside, because she did not expect that the man would send the first heir to the throne to greet her.
