Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 535 Rescue from Thousands of Miles 1
Throughout the night, the Hetao camp was on alert.The soldiers ran up the tower to defend. Gao Shun spent the whole night thinking about countermeasures in the camp. The battle came so suddenly that Gao Shun still didn't understand many things, but what worried him most was the whereabouts of Gongsun Xu and safe too.

After dawn, teams of cavalry rode out of the city to inquire about news. Not long after, the smoke rose again, and Gao Shun also received the latest information that [-] cavalry from the north were going south, and they would reach Hetao in two hours.

"It's finally here." Gao Shun said coldly, "Is it the Huns?"

The scout knelt on the ground and replied: "It's not clear yet, but there are only the Huns army over there."

Gao Shun stood up and stared at the map, and then walked back and forth. He turned around and stared at the map and asked, "Is there news about General Zhang Fei, where is Wen Chou's army now? Have you contacted the lord?"

No one can answer these three questions. Gao Shun, Zhang Fei led [-] cavalry to conquer the Huns, but now the Huns cavalry went south, what happened? Could it be that Zhang Fei's [-] cavalry were wiped out?But this is obviously impossible, that is the [-] elite northern border army, and Zhang Fei is also a battle-tested veteran, it is impossible for anyone to wipe out Zhang Fei's army in such a short period of time.

Wen Chou led the troops to patrol the grassland, and fought several victories with the Xianbei army, defeating the Xianbei army.But four days ago, there was no news from Wen Chou's army, which made Gao Shun very worried.

Now Gongsun Xu led five thousand tiger and ben troops and rushed towards Yanmen, but Gao Shun knew that there must be an ambush there.In fact, this is still the territory of Northern Xinjiang, and the [-] cavalry in Gongsun Xu's hands are all veterans of the battlefield. Even if something happens, Gongsun Xu will definitely be able to escape, but Gao Shun still can't help but worry.Anyone can have an accident, but only Gongsun Xu can't.

"Martial law continues in the whole city." Gao Shun ordered: "The market cannot be opened until the martial law is lifted, and the entire Hetao is only allowed to enter but not to exit. If anyone wants to make trouble at this time or leave Hetao privately, he will be imprisoned."

After the order was conveyed, Gao Shun sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.Fifty thousand cavalry could not scare him, even if he faced a more correct enemy, Gao Shun thought he could handle it.There are not many other things in Hetao, but there must be a lot of materials and personnel.As long as he is willing, he can temporarily recruit a hundred thousand troops long ago.If military control is implemented in Hetao, the supplies here can definitely last until after the beginning of spring.

What he is most worried about now is the black hand behind the scenes. The grassland tribes can't think of these conspiracies. Gao Shun firmly believes this. First, the Xianbei cavalry invaded the country, and then the Xiongnu cavalry went south.It cannot be a coincidence that the two major powers of the grassland have been dispatched one after another.What's more intriguing is that someone is plotting against his lord. Gao Shun's anxiety is gradually increasing. He is really afraid that something will happen to Gongsun Xu.

On the grassland to the north of Jiuyuan, a group of 5000 cavalry galloped wildly. The leader of the cavalry was heroic, but there was lingering anxiety on his handsome face.

"Haven't you found any news yet?" Gongsun Xu roared angrily, "What happened to the wolf smoke yesterday? Have you figured it out? The target of a thousand tigers is so big, why haven't we been able to detect it until now?"

"My lord, don't be in a hurry." Dian Wei stepped forward to persuade: "The scouts have gone to the nearest Great Wall stronghold to inquire about the situation. Presumably there will be news soon that the fighting power of a thousand tiger and ben troops is definitely not weak. With them here, mistress Nothing will happen."

Gongsun Xu also understood that he was too anxious, that's why he lost his composure, but he couldn't help but be anxious.The moment he saw the wolf smoke in the east yesterday, he felt a little uneasy, and then the wolf smoke rose in the west, which confirmed his anxiety. The grassland is so uneven now, and he doesn't want his wife to be involved .

"Report,,,,,,," a team of scouts rushed over, and the territorial cavalry rushed forward to report: "My lord, according to the reports from the brothers in the stronghold, they saw the smoke of the fire in the north. They don't know what's going on."

"Huh? North?" Gongsun Xu asked: "Not the east? That's strange. Even if there is a situation, it should be conveyed from east to west. Why didn't the stronghold on the Yanmen side light up the beacon fire? Did you find out where it is on the north side? .”

"Thirty miles to the north, the wolf smoke only rose for a while yesterday and then disappeared. It must have been extinguished." The scout replied: "Besides, the brothers in the stronghold here also wanted to warn the northern stronghold, but there has been no fire in the northern stronghold." Send back the message."

"Come here, send an order to the generals guarding the various checkpoints and ask them to be on high alert." Gongsun Xuyin ordered with a sullen face: "In addition, send an order to play Zhicai, asking him to put down everything at hand and immediately go to the Great Wall to supervise the defense. There is nothing to lose."

After giving the order, Gongsun Xu immediately led the cavalry to the north. After chasing for dozens of miles, they traced the traces of the cavalry's galloping. With these traces, their tracking speed became faster.

"My lord, there are traces of burning wolf smoke here." A scout pointed to a pile of unburned fuel on the ground and said: "It seems that it was deliberately destroyed shortly after it was lit, and there was no battle here. , it seems that the people who ignited the wolf smoke retreated immediately when they saw that they were invincible."

"Soldiers are divided into two groups, all the way to the north to track, and the whole to the east to investigate." Gongsun Xu thought for a while and said: "Once encountering a situation, set off a beacon to warn. Come, let Hai Dongqing investigate the situation."

Gongsun Xu led [-] cavalrymen to follow northward. After tracing the land for more than ten miles, suddenly a cavalryman pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "Look, my lord, vulture."

"There is a corpse ahead, go and have a look." Gongsun Xu's anxiety reappeared. The vultures were feeding on the corpse. They were circling in the sky, so there must be a corpse on the ground.

After everyone rode their horses to track down the place where the vultures were circling, what they saw was the battlefield where a battle broke out.Judging from the wounds of soldiers on both sides on the battlefield, the battle was extremely tragic.

"It's our army's Huben Army and the Huns' cavalry." Dian Wei stepped forward to investigate and said, "These Huns' cavalry are not simple. tattoo, this one can’t be faked.”

"Leave 20 people to investigate the situation on the battlefield." Gongsun Xu ordered: "The rest continue to pursue."

Judging from the wounds and blood coagulation of the soldiers who died in the battle, the battle should have just erupted not long ago, and it obviously lasted for a long time. Gongsun Ce speculated that the Huben army might camp here and was attacked by the Huns cavalry. After a battle between the two sides, the Huben army successfully broke out.

The crowd continued to track for dozens of miles. There were many clues along the road. It seemed that the enemy had no time to clear them up. Gongsun Xu had three riders on his side.In addition, they do not stop, so the tracking speed is very fast.

In the afternoon, Gongsun Xu finally tracked down some fresh clues. It seemed that they were not far away from each other.

"My lord, the Yin Mountain is three hundred miles ahead." We have already left the Great Wall defense line too far, and after passing the Yin Mountain is the territory of the Xianbei and the Huns, this place is very dangerous. "

"Don't tell me these things are useless." Gongsun Xu said angrily: "Have you found any clues? There are traces of battles along the road. Why are there fewer here? No matter whether it is our own or the enemy, they will never Disappear out of thin air, continue to investigate."

Gritting his teeth at the back door, he continued to ride his horse to inquire about the news, and soon a scout came back to report: "My lord, Hai Dongqing found the situation more than 30 miles to the north, and Ying Nu said that there should be a large group of people ahead."

"Kill them." Gongsun Xu ordered without hesitation: "It must be the enemy army, we must not let them go."

Nearly [-] cavalry rode their horses towards the north. They had been tracking them for more than a day, and only now did they find some useful clues. Finally, they were about to meet the enemy. The bloodthirsty temperament of these battlefield veterans had already exploded.

Thirty miles away, more than 3000 Hun cavalry surrounded a hill. The foot of the hill was full of corpses.

"The Xiongnu cavalry is resting. They have been attacking for more than an hour. After losing more than 1000 people, they still have not captured this hill. At this time, it is not the Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang who is commanding the army.

On the hill, more than 300 cavalry lined up for defense. In the middle of the formation were the leader Xiaowei and Cai Yan. The strange thing was that Zhen Dao was not here.

"You all break through." Cai Yan looked at the exhausted soldiers and said: "You have tried your best, what you have to do now is to protect the mother of Dao Zhen, and never let her do anything.

We thought we would deliberately reveal our whereabouts to attract the enemy to pursue, so that sister Zhen Dao could leave safely. Who knew that the enemy had seen through our plot, and after they surrounded us an hour ago, they divided their troops to pursue Zhen Dao Sister they went, this is my mistake.Hurry up and report the situation to the General. "

It seems that the leading captain did not hear Cai Yan’s order. He stared at the three thousand Hun cavalry at the foot of the mountain. Up to now, the Hun cavalry have not done anything to them. Both sides are resting at the moment, but his own heart I understand that there are few people on my side, and I have just experienced a hard battle, so I am afraid that I will not last long. After all, the number of enemy troops is ten times that of my side, and they are all elite cavalry on the grassland.

There are two arrows stuck in the lieutenant's body, which were shot by the enemy while fleeing. Many of these Hun cavalry are very good at shooting, and they can shoot at high speed. And, this time, many of these Hun cavalry were equipped with well-made arrows.

"Mistress, please rest assured." The captain said: "The last general will wait for the location to protect the safety of the mistress."

"Stupid, why are you talking about guarding your safety when you stay here?" Cai Yan said angrily, "I told you to guard Madam Zhen Dao, didn't you hear me?"

After finishing speaking, Cai Yan pulled out a dagger and said to his throat: "I committed suicide here today, you have completed the task, hurry to find the mother of Dao Zhen."

When the people around saw it, they all knelt down and held up their weapons and said: "Please give me death, the mistress, the last general will not be good if he waits to protect the mistress, and he deserves to die."
