Chapter 821 Attacked
On a not-so-wide yellow sand plain in Yunzhou, a group of carriages was slowly moving forward, with more than a hundred cavalry on both sides. These were the carriages escorting Xue Leihan to Luoyun City.
Xue Leihan was sitting in the carriage, holding an ancient book and reading it with gusto. From time to time, he would comment to himself and comment on it. He was quite immersed in it, but the shaking of the carriage made his butt hurt.
"Da da da~"
There was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and a sturdy military man stopped by the car window and said in a deep voice: "Sir! Something happened!"
Xue Leihan put down the book in her hand with some unfinished thoughts, opened the curtain and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Lai Qi was the leader of this group of hundreds of cavalry. His name was Yan Zhe. He had been Xin Ji's personal soldier before and was deeply trusted.
"Sir, the smoke is rising!"
"What?" Xue Leihan's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly got out of the carriage. Xu Luo, who had been waiting beside the carriage, also had his eyes bulging, and the smoke started? Is there a war?
"Are you sure?"
Xue Leihan, who stepped out of the carriage, stared around and saw nothing. This was a plain located between two mountains. The field of vision was not good and he could not clearly see the situation further away.
"Sure! I saw it with my own eyes. You can see it by climbing over the mountain in front." Yan Zhe replied with a stern face.
Xue Leihan walked around anxiously. He still didn't know what the specific situation was. Whether a small group of Yan troops had slipped in or whether Luoyun City had discovered the majority of the enemy army.
Yan Zhe and Xu Luo said nothing, waiting for Xue Leihan's decision.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, set off immediately, speed up, let's go to Luoyun City!" Xue Leihan waved his hand.
Yan Zhe immediately said: "Sir, the enemy's situation is unknown now. We only have a hundred and ten people. If we encounter the enemy, I'm afraid your safety will be in danger."
As a former soldier of Xinji, he is very cautious. He knows the identity of Xue Leihan. If something happens to Xue Leihan, half of the Liaodong officialdom will collapse.
"It doesn't matter!" Xue Leihan said in a deep voice: "The Yunjin defense line is well laid out. Even if someone sneaks in and kills hundreds of people, there are fortresses nearby and they are all our people. Let's go!"
"promise!"
Seeing that Xue Leihan persisted, Yan Zhe said no more.
Xue Leihan waved and asked his servant to lead a war horse. He didn't plan to ride in a carriage. Riding a horse would be faster.
But just when everyone was about to set off, a sudden change occurred.
"Oh oh oh!"
"Da da da~"
A ghostly scream came from the distance, and a large number of cavalry figures suddenly appeared from the horizon.
"Yan Bing!"
Yan Zhe's eyes suddenly darkened and he shouted angrily: "Get ready for war!"
"Click rub rub!"
Hundreds of scimitars were unsheathed at the same time, and the cavalry on both sides quickly lined up in several rows to protect Xue Leihan behind them. They were only responsible for escorting, so they did not bring spears, only curved swords.
knife.
Xu Luo's eyes also became sharp, and the hand holding the spear trembled slightly. This was the first time he encountered an enemy, and he was a little nervous, but there was also a little excitement in his eyes.
Xue Leihan's expression showed no change, and she just nodded calmly towards Yan Zhe.
Yan Zhe turned to look at Xu Luo: "Protect your safety, don't embarrass me!"
"promise!"
"Soldiers! Follow me to meet the enemy!"
"drive!"
Yan Zhe pulled the reins and rushed towards the fierce Yan soldiers.
This was a group of Yan soldiers who sneaked in with Kashgar. Unfortunately, they lost their way after reaching the rear of Luoyun City. They could not find the intended attack target. They were surrounded by forts and had nowhere to go. Then just now,
, after they saw Xue Leihan's car from a distance, they felt that he was a big shot, so they stopped and killed him on the spot. After all, they were killing people, and whoever they killed was not killed.
"kill!"
The cavalry of both sides engaged in a melee, and a fierce battle broke out in an instant. The two groups had about the same number of troops, but the Zhenliao army had the upper hand because the Yan soldiers had run out of dry food and had been hungry all day.
If they hadn't been desperate, they wouldn't have been intercepting and killing them for most of the day.
Xue Leihan stood there with his hands folded, not too panicked, while Xu Luo stared at the battlefield excitedly, a little eager to try.
Seven or eight Yan soldiers broke through the Liang army's blockade and came straight to Xue Leihan. There were only four or five people guarding Xue Leihan, so the situation was a bit dangerous.
"Follow me!"
Xu Luo shouted angrily, clapped his horse and stepped forward to meet a Yan soldier. He thrust out a spear with his slightly trembling palm, but was cut off by the Yan soldier's knife.
Immediately, a gust of cold wind hit from the side. Xu Luo's expression changed, and he leaned over to hide. The blade of the knife slid dangerously close to his waist.
"drink!"
This time Xu Luo's spear tip was much more stable, and it pierced Yan Bing's thigh. Yan Bing screamed, and the horse rushed forward for more than ten steps before the wounded soldier fell to the ground.
"Huh~"
Xu Luo, who succeeded with one blow, did not dare to relax and drew his gun to fight again.
At this moment, a Yan soldier passed through the gap between the guards and rushed towards Xue Leihan with a ferocious smile. Xue Leihan, a scholar in white robes, was simply a piece of cake in the eyes of Yan Jun. There was no need to think about it.
? He must be a big shot!
Xue Leihan's expression finally changed. He gritted his teeth and pulled out a bow and arrow from the horse beside him. But he couldn't draw the bow, so he could only wave the bow and arrow to encourage himself.
"when!"
Yan Bing cut the bow and arrow in Xue Leihan's hand into two pieces with just one blow. Xue Leihan was also brought down to the ground and rolled twice.
Xue Leihan struggled to stand up, holding half of the bow and looking fiercely at the Yan soldiers who were charging forward again, ready to dodge the Yan soldiers' scimitars at any time.
"Die!"
Yan Bing's face was full of excitement. In his eyes, there was no difference between the unarmed Xue Leihan and a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Pfft!"
Just as he raised his scimitar, preparing to kill Xue Leihan's head, a spear instantly penetrated his chest, and the spear tip came out of his body, stabbing him to the core.
"Plop!"
Yan Jun fell to the ground before he could realize what happened, and the life in his eyes quickly dissipated.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Xu Luo asked nervously.
"It's okay, I'll hit you." A little cold sweat broke out on Xue Leihan's forehead, and the dust all over his body made him look a little embarrassed, but fortunately he was not injured.
"Da da da!"
At the diagonal rear of the battlefield, another cavalry appeared. Xu Luoning looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief. It was the Liang Army Rangers. They should be the cavalry who came out to guard after the smoke broke out.
Xue Leihan curled her lips helplessly, if she died in such a place, she would really be laughed at.
Soon, all the Yan soldiers on the battlefield were dead and wounded. There were only more than a hundred people, and they could not withstand the impact of so many Liang soldiers.
Yan Zhe walked to Xue Leihan's side and said, "Sir, we arrested two people alive. It is said that several teams have sneaked in."
"Let the Sentry Cavalry pass the news back, let's go to Luoyun City!" Xue Leihan said in a deep voice.
