Chapter 250: Tacit understanding(1/2)
Fearing that something might be omitted, hundreds of soldiers asked Hu Shang one by one if there were any Han women in the caravan.
But all the Hu businessmen said no.
It seems that I really killed the wrong person...
Yuwen Yuanqing sighed secretly, raised his hand, and waved it down vigorously.
Hundreds of cavalrymen drew their bows in unison...
After just one round of ejaculation, few of the hundreds of Hu merchants could kneel straight, and even a few moans could not be heard.
Afraid of leaving anyone alive, after shooting the arrows, more than a hundred cavalrymen dismounted and chopped off the heads one by one with their swords.
After a while, it was like a rain of blood in the formation, and the blood accumulated in pools...
People are like ants, life is like grass!
Just like this...
The corpse was taken care of by the county soldiers, so Yu Wen Yuanqing did not need to worry about it. He asked his cronies to collect the pack horses, chariots, etc., and prepare to return to the mountain.
Just after giving the order, the guard beside him suddenly reminded: "Captain, there seems to be a horn sound?"
Trumpet sound?
Yuwen Yuanqing listened attentively, and his expression suddenly changed.
This is clearly a warning sign that the scouts have discovered a powerful enemy...
Strong enemy?
Where did it come from?
Looking at the chaos in front of him again, the corners of Yuwen Yuanqing's eyes almost burst.
There were people driving carts, people leading camels, people picking up property, and there were even many soldiers groping at the corpses and stripping the clothes off the corpses.
It's like a mess, and the enemy can be defeated with just one charge...
Veins popped up on Yu Wen Yuanqing's face, and he used almost all his strength to roar: "A powerful enemy is coming... form an array... quickly, quickly, quickly... form an array..."
The soldiers were stunned for a while and were stunned for several breaths before they heard the continuous sound of horns coming from the northwest.
Is there really a strong enemy?
Hundreds of soldiers were horrified. They took those who could fit into their arms and threw away those who couldn't.
But when I got my hands free, I forgot where the horse was.
Then there was random robbery. Those who couldn't be grabbed in a hurry were either overturned on the camels or pack horses that were still carrying the goods, or they were hacked with swords and untied the horses pulling the carts.
Good guy, it’s more than just a mess?
It’s over...
Listening to the sound of the horn getting closer and closer, Yuwen Yuanqing's eyes darkened and he almost fell off his horse.
Well, no...
There is only the sound of horns, but there don’t seem to be many horses?
If there really was a powerful enemy coming, the sound of hooves would have been thunderous.
The sound of the horn is getting closer and closer, and through the moonlight, it can be vaguely seen that there are only forty or fifty cavalry, which seems to be the group of men sent north to pursue and defeat the enemy.
Looking back, I saw no smoke rising...
The enemy didn't catch up?
Yuwen Yuanqing was determined.
At the very last moment, he escaped with his bodyguard...
He wiped the cold sweat from his head and shouted to the guards beside him: "Show the flag!"
Seeing the lantern, the forty or fifty horsemen immediately ran towards this direction.
They were still seven or eight feet away when the generals began to shout: "Captain, soldiers... soldiers guarding the palace in Guanzhong..."
Yuwen Yuanqing was slightly stunned.
What are the soldiers from Guanzhong doing here in Hexi?
No... these are officers and soldiers, not enemies. What kind of warning are you sending?
Yuwen Yuanqing's face turned green with anger.
It wasn't that he didn't believe what his subordinates said, but he was angry that his subordinates rushed to report the military situation and almost allowed hundreds of cavalry to collapse without a fight.
"Captain, the opponent has thousands of armored cavalry, and the formation is extremely strict. It must be a division capable of hundreds of battles. Apart from this, there is not a single packhorse or chariot...
Therefore, my subordinates estimate that these people are definitely not caravans sent by the Guanzhong Prefecture to Dunhuang or the Western Regions to do business behind the back of the imperial court. In all likelihood, they are doing the same thing as us..."
Yuwen Yuanqing had just raised his whip. When he heard these words, he felt as if he was frozen and couldn't whip anymore.
Armored Cavalry?
Only those who have both men and horses are called armored cavalry...and there are thousands of them?
What bird eggs are you talking about? How many tiger cavalry are there in the imperial court?
It is estimated that his subordinates were frightened out of their wits, and they inadvertently frightened themselves first.
I was also afraid that these soldiers from Guanzhong Mansion would really treat my own people as rogue thieves and kill them, so I blew the horn to encounter the enemy...
But it seems that the worries are unfounded, as the other party has obviously guessed the true origins of himself and others.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to easily release these subordinates and reveal their identities?
Could it be that these Guanzhong soldiers were doing the same thing as me: they went to Hexi to help Gao Zhao find someone...
Yuwen Yuanqing was a little puzzled: Xi Kangsheng had always been at odds with Gao Zhao, and he never made excuses. Suddenly, he was so concerned about the Gao family's affairs?
I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out...
Forget it, I can’t afford to offend anyone anyway, so why do I want to do so much?
Now that you have met, let's make a good relationship. You can't just eat meat yourself, but let others watch, and you can't even drink the soup...
Yuwen Yuanqing mused: "Well... go pick out a few loads of goods and send them over with me..."
It is definitely not possible to identify oneself clearly, it can only be regarded as a tacit understanding.
I also have the intention to show my kindness to Xi Kangsheng...
The men responded and drove off. Not long after, several camels and pack horses came over...
……
The distance of twenty miles can be reached in two moments at most, even if one dares not rush at night.
But Yuwen Yuanqing walked for nearly an hour.
It's not that he can't walk fast, it's that he doesn't dare to walk fast at all...
As soon as we rounded the county seat, we suddenly heard the sound of arrows and horns.
Then after hearing a few more noises like snakes and rats scurrying around, several cavalrymen actually emerged from the grass less than ten feet away from him?
If Yu Wen Yuanqing hadn't shown his official flag long ago and didn't hide his whereabouts, otherwise he would have been shot to death on a horse without even knowing where the arrow came from?
After revealing his identity, the other party did not stop him. He only said that he wanted to go back and report to the superior, so he needed to take the first step.
Yuwen Yuanqing felt that things should be smooth now, right?
But not even three miles after walking forward, a second wave suddenly appeared.
Then came the third wave, the fourth wave...
It was not until he clearly received the military order from Li Chengzhi that he agreed to release, that Li Rui gathered the scouts and led Yuwen Yuanqing to the camp.
But even if Yuwen Yuanqing was asked to drive quickly, he no longer had the courage.
These soldiers are so weird, just like ghosts...

When he approached the military formation and saw the horse formation that shone with cold light and looked like an iron wall, Yuwen Yuanqing was even more surprised.
What his subordinates said turned out to be true. He was really an armored knight with both men and horses?
Although it is not as close to a thousand armored cavalry as his subordinates said, looking at the formation, there are only 300 armored soldiers at most, and there should be only 300 armored horses, and the rest are all reserve cavalry, but it is enough to frighten Yuwen Yuanqing.
It's not his first day leading troops, so how could he not see the faint murderous intent in these soldiers?
Master of Tiger and Wolf!
Not surprisingly, 99% of them should be from the personal guard camp guarded by Xi Zhen...
I just don’t know why I’m so defensive about myself?
I only brought forty or fifty cavalry, but why did these armored cavalry act like they were facing a formidable enemy and didn't even dare to get close to me?
How did Yuwen Yuanqing know that Li Chengzhi was afraid that he would see the slightest trace of him?
