Chapter 548 Your Wife and Children I Raise
Li Daoyan rode his horse and ran in embarrassment, not daring to stop for a moment.
He was thirsty and tired, and the horse ran more and more slowly, but the Qiang cavalry behind him were chasing him closely, so he didn't dare to stop for a moment.
At this moment, what is Qin Lang doing? He suddenly thought of this question? Is Qin Lang drinking tea leisurely in the city of Hechuan, Diezhou?
Why am I so embarrassed? Maybe I shouldn't listen to the instigation of the staff. After Qin Lang's big victory last time, he accepted it as soon as he saw it. I had a very unrestrained life.
Qin Lang was right. What he did in Diezhou made his life very chic and comfortable. Diezhou is becoming an important border market for Tang and Qiang trade. Countless cattle, horses, silk, cloth, salt and tea slaves are traded here. , Qin Lang collected taxes so softly.
Countless businessmen went to Diezhou. They praised Qin Lang everywhere. These unprincipled businessmen used to trade in Minzhou and Taozhou, but now they all went to Diezhou. Lang made them rich, so they all called Qin Lang good.
If this continues, no one will go to Taozhou to trade, and no one will pass through Minzhou again. They will not even remember him as the governor of Minzhou.
Zhao Canjun's horse beside him neighed suddenly and fell to the ground. Zhao Canjun yelled in panic and panic. He was unlucky to be crushed under the horse, and maybe his leg was crushed as well. He wanted to struggle to get up and move. No, the horse crushed him to death.
He whipped the horse with the whip in his hand, but the horse struggled a few times and then gave up. The horse was too tired to run.
Li Daoyan wanted to stop the horse to save him, but seeing that other people around him only turned their heads and looked at him, they continued to urge the horse to run away. He finally gave up on this idea.
The horse continued to run, and Zhao Canjun's mournful cries gradually spread far and wide. Finally, Zhao Canjun began to yell angrily, first at the Qiang people, and then at everyone.
Qiang cavalry caught up, and a Qiang cavalry pierced Zhao Canjun's head with a spear in his hand, so he stopped yelling and lay quietly on the ground.
Liu Canjun was so anxious that he was about to cry, and immediately cursed.
"Where are the soldiers of the Western Army in Diezhou Town? Don't they go out on patrol? Where are they all dead? Why can't they come to meet them!"
He may have forgotten that they deliberately blocked the news in order to keep it secret. They didn't want Diezhou to know their actions at all. They didn't want them to share their credit. They just wanted to wait for them to win a big victory before reporting to Diezhou. , Let them envy and hate.
Liu Canjun's horse ran slower and slower, no matter how hard he whipped it, the horse spit out foam.
"Whoever takes me for a while, my horse will fail." Liu Canjun asked the people around him for help while whipping the horse. It's a pity that at this time, everyone wished that their horses could grow wings and grow four more legs. Who would want to add another person to burden them?
Liu Canjun's horse finally fell to the ground with a mournful cry. Liu Canjun was prepared and took off the stirrup in time. His body was covered in mud when he fell on the ground, but he threw down the whip and continued to charge forward with both legs. .
But Qiang Qi was getting closer and closer.
Liu Canjun’s scarf also fell off when he ran, his hair was disheveled, and he was extremely embarrassed, but he couldn’t take care of anything.
"I don't want to die here!"
Liu Canjun roared in panic.
"How far is Diezhou?" Li Daoyan tried his best not to look at the backward Liu Canjun, he asked loudly. A soldier told him that Diezhou was still far away, "We haven't entered the mountains yet!"
Lee Do-yeon was desperate and collapsed.
He drew out his sword and slashed it across his neck, but he couldn't be cruel.
He shouted to his own soldiers, "I can't do it anymore, I can't run anymore, and my horse is going to die, I don't want to be a prisoner of Dangxiang Qiang, you help me finish it, give me a sharp knife, let me be happy. "
The soldiers exchanged their horses with Li Daoyan, "Let's go, Captain, there is still a chance."
"And you?"
The tall and thick soldier grinned and stood there motionless, "I am the queen of the governor's palace, I just ask the governor to agree to me, my wife and children are still in Minzhou, after I die, please have mercy on them and send them to Chang'an. "
Li Daoyan saw that the pursuers were approaching, so he had to urge his horse to go forward. While running, he turned his head and shouted, "Don't worry, Chang Lao Si, I will never forget, I will take care of your wife and children!"
Panting heavily, Chang Lao Si raised his spear and stood in the middle of the road with his legs wide open. He looked at Qiang Qi who was galloping closer and closer, with a wry smile on his lips.
"Come on, kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one, grandpa will die with you today, sons and grandchildren of the Tuoba Department of the party, come on!"
Horseshoes are like thunder.
A Qiang cavalry rushed forward holding a spear with a hideous face.
Chang Laosi felt his heart beating like thunder, but he didn't take half a step back.
He only hopes that the governor can keep his promise and bring his wife and children to Chang'an.
"Phew!"
An arrow shot.
The ferocious Qiang man fell off his horse with an arrow, but one leg was still hanging on the stirrup, and he was dragged by the mount to run.
Chang Laosi was stunned and turned his head.
But at some point, a group of Tang cavalry came out of the oblique stab.
The first knight came galloping in bright light armor and holding an iron tire bow. He fired the iron bow in his hand, and fired several arrows in a row, one arrow at a time, killing several Qiangs in a row.
The knight behind is also flying arrow feathers.
This cavalry team shot down all the first dozen Qiang cavalry in pursuit.
"Are you the Diezhou Town West Army?"
Chang Laosi came back to his senses and saw that the other party was all in Tang's military robe and armor, so he hurriedly asked.
The leading knight came to the side of Chang Laosi, stopped the horse, raised his mask, but he was a young man. "I am Guo Daizhao, the Ranger Team of the Five-Star Fortress of the Western Army, Xiazhen, Duizhou Dudufu. Where are you from? Why were you chased by Qiangqi?"
Chang Lao Si escaped from the ghost gate, feeling lingering fear, heard that the other party was really from Diezhou, so he hurriedly said, "I am the normal authority of the dental army under the governor Li Du of Minzhou, thank you brother."
"Minzhou Governor's tooth army is on the way? Then why do you come from the west?"
"It's a long story, can you please follow me to catch up with Dudu Li and **** him to Diezhou?"
Guo Daizhao nodded and greeted him, so several rangers got off their horses and cut off the heads of the dozen or so Qiang cavalry who had just been shot with knives. Someone went to lead the horses, and someone skillfully stripped off their armor. Down.
They are skilled in their movements and cooperate with each other tacitly, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
"Let's go."
Guo Daizhao heard that Li Daoyan, governor of Minzhou, was among those who fled ahead, so of course he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, so he quickly led a horse to Chang Wei, and turned to chase Li Daoyan.
After chasing for a while, the panic-stricken Li Daoyan and his party caught up. At this time, there were no more than a hundred people around Li Daoyan.
It's all frightened birds, hungry and tired, and the horses are dying.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Li Daoyan looked at Guo Daizhao and said.
Guo Daizhao and his men took out the dried meat and water they were carrying, and Li Daoyan stuffed them into his mouth indiscriminately. He was so embarrassed that he choked and rolled his eyes.
"Thank you, Captain Guo. Please, Captain Guo, **** me to Diezhou. How far is it from Diezhou?"
"There are still two hundred miles left?" Li Daoyan was startled, he didn't expect that after running away for so long, there is still so far. When he thought of the wolf-like Qiang soldiers behind him, Li Daoyan was even more panicked.
"Then get on the road quickly, the Qiang people are in a hurry to catch up, and they will catch up soon."
Guo Daizhao couldn't help asking, "Dare to ask the governor, why did the Qiang people chase after them when they came from the west? Could it be that the Qiang people attacked Taomin and broke through the city?"
Li Daoyan didn't want to answer the small team's question at first, but it was obvious that he was rescued and ate their dry food, and it was not easy to get angry, so he had to explain a few words briefly.
Guo Daizhao was dumbfounded.
This Li Daoyan secretly organized nearly 20,000 people to go deep into Dangxiang Hequ to attack Tuoba Chici. The most incredible thing is that they pretended to form an alliance with Tuoba Chici to appease him, but they formed an alliance halfway. It's really shameless.
The most important thing is that they actually lost, a big defeat.
More than 20,000 horses were beaten to death by thousands of Tuoba Qiang.
Well, it is impossible for the Dudu Mansion in Minzhou to have more than 20,000 people. After asking Chang Wei a few words, I realized that the 20,000 people were gathered in a hurry, and the frontier troops in the Mintao prefectures were only three. About 1,000, the Tutuan dispatched more than 5,000, and then the attached Qiang, Di, Turkic and other Tibetans had nearly 10,000 soldiers, and temporarily recruited 3,000 civilians to accompany the army to **** the luggage, so they put together almost 20,000 troops.
Blocked the news, sneaked to Dangxiang Hequ, won the first battle, ambushed 800 forwards of Tuobaqiang, wiped out the enemy army, not bad.
But who knew that when he ambush Tuoba Chici the next day, he didn't know what went wrong, but he was lured by others, and then he was attacked back and forth, and he was defeated.
When he thought of the 20,000 horses, most of which were still fleeing on the Hequ, Guo Daizhao's expression changed drastically.
This is even worse than the samurai Xun who buried 5,000 troops in Wenzhou last time.
"Our Qin Dudu happened to be in the five-star fortress of Anhua County these few days. It is only 30 miles away from here. I will send you there."
Guo Daizhao no longer has a good attitude towards Li Daoyan. This kind of people who command and mess around are the soldiers they hate the most.
I have no skills, but I still like to mess around, losing my teacher and harming the country.
"Qin Lang is thirty miles away?" Li Daoyan was refreshed when he heard that, "Hurry up and **** me there."
"Let's go!"
Guo Daizhao put on a cold face.
Obtained the **** of Guo Daizhao's ranger team, although several Qiang cavalry chased them along the way, they failed to please them and were killed by them.
At dusk yesterday, Guo Daizhao sent Li Daoyan and nearly a hundred defeated soldiers to the Five-Star Fortress.
It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, Li Daoyan could only vaguely feel that the fortress was very small, but no matter how small it was, it was still a castle.
Going up the hillside, crossing the ditches, crossing the suspension bridge, and checking layer by layer, they finally entered the city.
Li Daoyan also saw Qin Lang with a dark face.
Qin Lang had already heard the news of Li Daoyan's defeat from the Rangers sent back by Guo Daizhao.
An astonishing failure.
"Duke Wei."
Li Daoyan came in with disheveled hair, saw Qin Lang standing there, and greeted Qin Lang anxiously.
"Why is the governor like this?" Qin Lang asked knowingly.
Li Daoyan sighed, "It's a long story. I think this castle is small. Since Tuoba Qiang has arrived, why don't Duke Wei and I leave here and go to Diezhou to avoid the sharp edge?"
Qin Lang snorted.
"It's good that Tuoba Chici didn't come. If he dares to cross the border and enter Anyuan County in Diezhou without knowing him, then I won't be polite to him."
"Mr. Wei, it's definitely a mistake to underestimate the enemy. I just listened to the villain and underestimated the enemy for a while, which led to such a big defeat." At this time, Li Daoyan came to persuade Qin Lang not to underestimate the enemy.
"If Dudu Li is worried that he won't be able to defend this place, he can go to Xijun City, Diezhou Town, right now. It's a fortified place. The last time Tuoba Chi resigned to attack the city with 60,000 troops, he couldn't shake it at all."
Li Daoyan's face turned red, "Wei Gong, it's wrong to underestimate the enemy, let's go together." To be honest, he is a little uneasy about letting him go alone now, and always wants to pull Qin Lang together, so it's safer of.
"If Dudu Li wants to leave, hurry up, don't talk nonsense here and shake the morale of our army." Qin Lang was displeased.
Li Daoyan still wanted to get Qin Lang to guard him, because if the Qiang people were powerful there, he would definitely not be able to defend here, etc.
This made Qin Lang angry.
He worked so hard last time, and the father and son teamed up to win a big victory, but now Li Daoyan, a pig teammate, greedy for merit and underestimated the enemy to death, lost 20,000 horses in one fell swoop, this kind of person is still here to force him rely.
"Come here, Li Daoyan sent troops privately, greedy for meritorious service, and led to the loss of soldiers and generals, and the loss of the country. Let me take him down and temporarily imprison him. He will be sent to Chang'an for punishment when he turns back."
Li Daoyan was stunned for a moment.
"Yes!" Several Qin Lang's soldiers roared and stepped forward, about to capture Li Daoyan.
Li Daoyan blushed with anger, "Qin Lang, how can you be so reasonable."
"The defeated general, do you still want to make trouble here?"
"I am the dignified governor of Minzhou, the clan of the Tang Dynasty, how dare you take me?"
"Why don't you dare, take it down for me. If you dare to resist, you will be punished."
Those pro-army don't care what kind of clan or county you are, or what kind of governor, this is Qin Lang's territory, Qin Lang is their boss, and they only obey Qin Lang's orders.
"Offended."
A pro-army stepped forward, used his grasping hand, and cut the unconvinced Li Daoyan's arms back in two or three strokes.
"take away!"
Qin Lang was too lazy to listen to him clamoring.
This kind of guy is too hateful.
Liang Jianfang and others hurried over, "Mr. Wei, what's going on?"
"I met a pig who was greedy for meritorious deceit and sent troops to rob the alliance. In the end, he lost all his pants. It's coming soon, you send rangers thirty miles out of the castle, hurry to meet and lead the defeated soldiers over."
"Mr. Liang, send someone to ring the alarm bell. The five-star fortress is on the first level of combat readiness. Everyone is on duty."
"Send people to Anyuan County, let the old and weak women and children evacuate to Diezhou City, and the Tuanlian Xiangyong part stay behind."
There is going to be a war, Qin Lang is not afraid.
Not to mention that the chasing Qiang soldiers are estimated to be only a few thousand people, no matter how many there are, he is not afraid.
"Duke Wei, can our fortress work?"
"Will it work, you will know if you try it!"
