The northwest wind is howling, blowing up the white snow on the ground. The streets are deserted. In winter, people have returned home early.
Zhang Yi and Xiao Han were familiar with the road. After running a few hundred meters in one breath, they stopped to observe the movement of the hotel. The guards had not noticed anything unusual.
"Brother Yi, the city gate has been closed, we can only climb over." Xiao Han whispered.
"What about the others?" Zhang Yi was a little worried.
"As long as Yi Ge is safe, they are safe," Xiao Han said.
It is too late to inform the Ministry of Commerce personnel who are camped in the market now, and it is impossible to lead dozens of people over the city wall at the same time.
Zhang Yi thought quickly and concluded that their safety should not be a problem. If he ran away, the two parties would not completely fall out. Business must be done.
Just, Jueying!
Zhang Yi's beloved horse was still at the military region headquarters, guarded by soldiers. For a moment, he felt a little sad in his heart, but there was no way to take Jueying away, he knew.
"Walk."
Zhang Yi said something and ran towards the west wall with Xiao Han.
Now is the time of peace. There are not many guards on the city wall. There is only one sentry more than a hundred meters away. The two of them dug at the cracks in the bricks and climbed up the city wall about ten meters high.
Clinging in the snow, when a sentry in the distance turned around, the two of them climbed over the city wall and retreated downwards, digging at the cracks in the bricks.
It is easy to go up but difficult to come down. There is almost no place to step on, and the whole body is supported by the strength of the fingers. Xiao Han has no pressure, but Zhang Yi has some difficulties. Climbing walls is not his specialty.
Suddenly the sound of trombones sounded in the city.
The guards discovered that the two people had run away and reported it to Vice Premier Sun. The tranquility of Xinhui City was suddenly broken, and soldiers were dispatched to search the entire city.
It only took about eight or nine minutes, and it was impossible to run out of the city without delaying even one minute.
When there were only two meters left, Zhang Yi's hand slipped and he fell from the wall. He was hugged by Xiao Han, who had been waiting below.
"I finally ran out," Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief and sighed softly, "Hey, brother Yi's Jueying is my sword!"
Their beloved things were both forced to stay in the city, Zhang Yi comforted them.
"Don't worry, it won't be lost. Run quickly, there are still more than ten miles to go."
Xiao Han nodded, grabbed Zhang Yi's wrist, performed Qing Gong, and led him to run wildly across the snowy field. Zhang Yi took a breath and matched Xiao Han's pace, running much faster than himself.
Zhang Yi thought as he ran, luckily he had sent Shi Gandang back to Wanchunzhai early, otherwise, Shi Gandang would have been unable to climb the city wall and would have stayed in the city.
When they were halfway through the journey, they saw the city gate open and a group of cavalry rushing out, chasing after them with torches in hand.
No matter how fast a person is, he can't outrun a war horse, and the situation immediately becomes tense.
"Brother Yi, you run, I will stop them!" Xiao Han said.
Zhang Yi looked back and wondered how to stop him? More than a hundred cavalrymen charged forward with spears in hand. Anyone who stood in the way would be trampled under the hooves of the horses.
At a critical moment, the two heard the sound of a horn coming from the direction of Wanchunzhai.
The shrill and sharp trombone sound cut through the sky, like the roar of an angry dragon.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh. This voice sounded so exciting at this time!
Xiao Han also laughed loudly and shouted with his finger in front.
"Here, step brother, the little fat guy is here!"
Yes, the little fat guy is here! He is not the kind of fat guy who goes to sleep when he is full. He will hold rocks when he is full to keep his physical fitness in the best condition.
Shi Gandang had eaten a lot for dinner and was practicing weightlifting in Wanchun Village. He heard the sound of a trumpet coming from the direction of Xinhui City. He ran to the wall of the village and saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the city. He was extremely puzzled. The cavalry was midnight
Why are you going out? Your brother-in-law and Commander Chen have such a good relationship. They are almost becoming brothers. They won't fall out, right?
He quickly picked up the telescope and looked. Against the bright light of the torch, he saw two familiar figures running across the snow. One was Brother Yi and the other was Brother Xiao.
Shi Gandang was angry!
He immediately summoned his troops and led more than a hundred cavalry down the mountain. Without saying a word, he broke through the checkpoint to rescue the two people.
Hundreds of people ran out of Wanchun Village, and were surrounded by dozens of soldiers from Greater China who were guarding the checkpoint with various weapons in their hands. The battle was about to break out.
Tonight it was Platoon Leader Lu Wei's turn to be on duty. He felt that something was strange. He was chatting and laughing during the day, but turned into enemies at night and could not figure out the situation. He asked the soldiers to put down their weapons and stop resisting, otherwise they would be attacked by Wanchun.
All the brave men in the village were wiped out.
…
Shi Gan took the lead, holding an iron-handled eight-edged hammer in his hand, and rushed forward like crazy. After about ten minutes, seeing that the cavalry from both sides were about to encounter each other, he roared angrily.
"The three-mountain-zhenshi stone should be here. If you don't want to live, come here!"
The cavalry following Shi Gandang were all elite warriors selected from several nearby villages. They shouted and rushed forward desperately.
An unexpected scene appeared.
The Great China cavalry suddenly turned around and ran towards the city.
Maybe they were frightened by the fierce momentum of Shi Gandang and others, maybe the soldiers who knew Zhang Yi among them were doing errands, maybe Commander Chen had secret instructions, in short, they retreated.
A bloody battle was thus avoided.
Zhang Yi pulled Xiao Han and stopped, both of them panting. Fortunately, Shi Gandang arrived in time. At the same time, he was relieved that the other party withdrew his troops wisely.
Once the enraged Shi Gandang rushes forward, he will be like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. Coupled with the warriors who are fighting for their lives, the warriors of Greater China are no match at all and will be massacred.
"Stop, stop!" Zhang Yishi waved and shouted.
The cavalry slowed down and stopped just in time when Zhang Yi and Xiao Han arrived.
Shi Gandang jumped off his horse and stepped forward to hug Zhang Yi. He was both happy and angry and asked.
"Yi Ge, are you not injured? Why did you fall out with Commander Chen? Why don't you let me rush into the city and seize Xinhui City to vent your anger for Yi Ge?"
"We didn't fall out with Commander Chen, let's go back." Zhang Yi said.
Shi Gandang scratched his head, he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
A warrior gave up two horses. Zhang Yi and Xiao Han got on their horses and led the team back. When they reached the checkpoint, they heard platoon leader Lu Wei shout in confusion.
"Brother, what happened?"
"Puilator Lu, it's nothing serious, hahaha," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Vice Premier Sun wants to invite me to visit the capital, but I don't want to go. Come on, brothers, go to the village, I'll treat you
Eat roast lamb.”
Everyone understood as soon as they heard that it would be difficult to come back once they went there. This approach was too much.
Platoon leader Lu Wei said to his soldiers: "Comrades, we are the prisoners of Brother Yi now. We can only obey whatever he asks us to do."
"Yes, Platoon Commander Lu, we have no choice but to obey."
"Let's go, let's go with my sworn brother."
"Go eat meat with your step brother!"
The soldiers said one after another that both sides burst into laughter at the end. After spending many days together, they had already become friends and would rather be prisoners than take action.
