Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 250 This moment, just like that year

According to the plan of the Qin delegation, they would probably kill the Princess of Beiyan before she entered Xichang City.

But even so, I'm afraid that the wedding processions and the wedding reception teams are heavily guarded and have many experts.

Of course, since Xiao Lou and the others planned this, they must have had the confidence to do so.

These people who came from the Great Qin Imperial City would never do anything without any certainty.

But the danger is indeed great.

Zhang Yuan also wanted to see what kind of strength these Qin masters from the Gongfeng Hall and the Imperial Household Department had.

Outside the martial arts school that day, his fight with Wen Gezheng was just a brief one, and he didn't really use his full strength.

Not only Wen Gezheng, but also the head of the Imperial Household Department seems to be very capable.

As Zhang Yuan flipped through the scroll in his hand, his eyes lit up.

The Zhenxi Army retreated, leaving a large number of soldiers in Xichang City and almost no Northern Yan defenders in Fengtian County.

Only Ouyang Xu was stationed with a 5,000-strong army several dozen miles outside Xichang City, confronting the Qin border troops.

Because of the rumor that Ouyang Xu had formed an alliance with the Qin Dynasty, although he was not caught, he was still exiled to Toyota County.

In addition, since Ouyang Ming was the one who married the princess, Ouyang Xu, the son of the Marquis of Zhenxi, was marginalized.

"Ouyang Xu."

Zhang Yuan pressed down the paper roll in his hand.

If we don’t take Toyota County now, when will we take it?
"All secret guards and spies, mobilize! All information regarding Beiyan must be handed over to me without a single leak."

Standing up, Zhang Yuan looked at Wang Qinian.

Wang Qinian nodded and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

……

Five days later, eight hundred guards from Luyang Prefecture marched out of the city.

Zhang Yuan, wearing black armor, was flanked by Sun Ze, wearing a green official robe, and Master Tao, also wearing armor.

Originally, Zhang Yuan wanted Master Tao to take the car, but Master Tao wanted to ride a horse.

The five battalion commanders followed behind.

At this moment, the five of them were full of energy and blood, as if they couldn't suppress it.

Zhang Yuan drew totem patterns for them so that they could have the strength of an ox.

This sudden increase in power made it difficult for them to control it.

In the back, Huang Sanliang and several low- and middle-ranking military officers who had reached the late stage of the acquired realm were also unable to control their blood and energy.

Huang Sanliang was fine, as he had a solid foundation. The others all had flushed faces and were trying their best to control the rush of qi and blood in their bodies.

The Luyang Prefecture's armed guards were based on the previous Zaoyi Guards. Later, they recruited good families in the city and elite soldiers from the surrounding martial arts world for training.

Zhang Yuan personally participated in the reorganization of the army, and all the training regulations were set by Zhao Yu.

The Wuwei Army is now formed. Although it is not as strong as the real elite, it has already taken shape.

Following the eight hundred armed guards were a thousand garrison troops from Luyang Prefecture and an accompanying baggage camp formed by hundreds of Luyang Prefecture civilians.

Most of these people were those who fled from Toyota County and settled in Luyang Prefecture.

The army marched forward, and a hundred miles out of the city, they found a group of several hundred soldiers waiting on the mountain.

The man leading the war horses, wearing a green official robe, looked at Zhang Yuan with a hint of excitement on his face.

Han Xiao.

Without saying a word, the team of cavalry led by Han Xiao followed the army.

The army moved forward. Along the way, there were caravans led by Duan Hong joining them, as well as martial artists from the martial arts world following closely behind.

A hundred miles away from Toyota County, a team of nearly a thousand cavalrymen roared and galloped forward.

Red armor, smoke and dust rising into the sky.

Red Scale Army.

The cavalry came galloping over, and the leading general pulled the reins, and the cavalry stood up.

"By order of the commander of the Red Scale Army, Bai Shaoting leads a thousand Red Scale Cavalry to help Luyang Prefecture recover lost territory."

Bai Shaoting's gaze turned to Zhang Yuan and Han Xiao. The three of them looked at each other and nodded heavily.

The three of them left Toyota County together that year, and now they have returned here.

----------------

Ten miles outside Toyota County.

A team of soldiers stood in formation.

The leading warrior wore black scale armor and held a spear in his hand.

The "Ouyang" battle flag fluttered in the wind.

Ouyang Xu. The son of the Northern Yan Zhenxi Army and the Guanglu Langjiang Ouyang Xu.

"Major General, if we hold the city and fight, even if we cannot stop the Qin army, we can still destroy the Toyota County." Beside Ouyang Xu, the warrior with a curly beard wearing chain mail lowered his voice and looked towards the place where smoke and dust were rising.

What we see in this smoke and dust must be a huge army.

There are five thousand soldiers here, and if they fight in formation, they have no chance of winning.

"The Toyota County was destroyed once before." Ouyang Xu shook his head and turned to look at the city wall behind him.

The warrior general with curly beard was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Young General, kindness does not lead to victory in the army. Anyway, they are all Qin people and Qin territory, even if -"

Before he finished speaking, a look of rebuke appeared in Ouyang Xu's eyes.

Ouyang Xu glanced at the bearded general and several other armored generals, his eyes narrowed.

"You all followed me, Ouyang Xu, on my journey to battle. You all know what kind of person I am."

"Even if they were Qin people, I would never be afraid."

Taking a deep breath, he gripped the reins tightly and held down the spear in front of him.

"But this time it's different."

"If we are surrounded in Toyota County, no one will come to rescue us."

The Zhenxi Army is now fully committed to protecting Xichang City and preparing for the wedding of Master Ouyang Ming.

At this time, even if Ouyang Xu was surrounded, he probably couldn't be rescued.

Once Ouyang Xu was surrounded, the Qin army would certainly assemble a large army, whether it was to besiege the point and attack the reinforcements or to mobilize the Zhenxi Army to disrupt the deployment, in any case, it would be impossible for the Zhenxi Army to have an easy time.

Moreover, given the current situation between the Zhenxi Army and Northern Yan, with Ouyang Ming married to the princess and the crown prince surrounded outside, there are many conspiracies and speculations.

Did Ouyang Xu deliberately sacrifice himself to ruin the arranged marriage?
Marquis Zhenxi intends to change the crown prince?

Ouyang Ming's plan?
Ouyang Xu conspired with Daqin?

"If we can stop the Qin army in a fierce battle, everything will be settled."

"If we can't stop the Qin army, we will retreat to Xichang City."

"Anyway, Duke Yu——"

Ouyang Xu didn't finish his words.

Behind him, several generals looked at each other and stopped talking.

Ahead, the smoke and dust were getting closer.

"Woo——"

The horn sounded.

A large flag appeared in the smoke and dust.

"Remain".

The battle flag was worn out, with repaired cracks on it.

This big flag once flew over the city wall of Toyota County.

The second battle flag was behind, fluttering in the wind.

"open".

Looking at the figure under the battle flag, Ouyang Xu's expression was complicated, and he whispered softly: "You, are finally back..."

"Woo——"

The sound of the horn continued to resound.

The army in front began to run.

There was no garrison or military formation, they just marched forward under the leadership of the leading general.

"kill--"

Ouyang Xu pointed his spear forward, and his cavalry galloped out, followed closely by five thousand soldiers from behind.

Zhang Yuan galloped on his horse, his blood and vital energy surging, and the blood and vital energy of the Wuwei soldiers following closely behind him were condensed.

A faint shadow of a tiger emerged.

The armies of both sides formed into a triangular cone formation and charged towards each other.

Zhang Yuan held his sword in his hand, his body slightly lowered on his warhorse, his eyes fixed on Ouyang Xu who was leading the charge from the opposite side.

This moment is just like that year.

"kill--"

In Zhang Yuan's hand, the long sword was unsheathed.

The two armies collided.
