The first thousand three hundred and forty-six chapters
Chapter 1,346 Jade Broken Armor Removal Ping
Not long ago, He Zhen was confident that he had a chance to win.
But now?
He seemed a little unsure of how to face the situation in front of him...
Where are your subordinates?
Obviously there are still four to five hundred people... Is it possible... Is it possible that because of Zhao Yun's arrival, a full four to five hundred people were eliminated by Zhao Yun?
Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
But... Judging from Zhao Yun's words and the enemies he had seen who had survived... if not for this, it would have been impossible for him to not even see a single companion.
The only possibility is that Zhao Yun has really eliminated all his subordinates...
An unspeakable fear spread from his heart and spread to his limbs, making his body feel numb.
No... calm down... He Zhen shouted in his heart.
Something must have gone wrong, and the most important thing now is to save your own life.
Before he knew it, He Zhen was sweating profusely.
He swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively:
"Ahem... General... you... are you telling the truth?"
"No child's play."
Zhao Yun immediately answered, and put the spear to his side, took the spear that was handed to him, lightly hooked it with his foot, and threw it to He Zhen who was just a short distance away.
While He Zhen hurriedly took the weapon, Zhao Yun took three steps back, leaving enough space for the two of them.
Only then did He Zhen realize that whether he could escape from this predicament depended on the next battle...
Should I say that his heart was filled with sadness or anger at this moment?
He didn't understand why the situation developed like this. Zhao Yun's appearance was like God was joking with him... A person who couldn't even imagine coming here, what else is there to say?
"Then... I'm offended!"
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, He Zhen shot him out with a burst of confusion and anger.
——
In fact, just when He Zhen and others arrived at Xiejiaping, Mi Fang and Shiren, who were stationed in Qichun, also mobilized an army and set off for rescue.
There happened to be only one day's journey between the two sides. Even so, Mi Fang and others were already moving forward at full speed.
Sending hundreds of cavalry as the vanguard was the decision made by the two after discussion. They didn't know whether the missing scouts were ambushed or something... But this time, even if He Zhen and the others were really ambushed by the enemy's army and couldn't defeat them, they
Still can't run?
But what they never expected was that just one day after their departure, when they arrived at the border of Songz County... they unexpectedly found a cavalryman who was fleeing alone.
——
There has been a lot of rain recently, and the heavy rain in Jiangxia has affected Qichun and Lujiang. Although it is not as flooded as Jiangxia, it has also made the roads muddy and blocked the view.
The journey was originally difficult... Fortunately, there were not many rivers on the road from Wuchang to Songz, and the terrain was mostly flat like a plain, so everyone's journey would not be delayed for too long.
In the early morning of the second day after departure, there was no daylight in sight, and the sky was still gray. Mi Fang and Shi Ren walked side by side, silent.
But soon the scouts scouting ahead came with news:
"Report! In less than half an hour, the army will arrive in Songz County!"
"Okay, let's explore again and report again!"
Mi Fang nodded in agreement and asked the scouts to continue to inquire about the situation ahead.
However, when Shiren heard that they were about to arrive in Songz County, he immediately sent someone to bring a simple map. The detailed map hand-drawn by Pang Tong was only owned by Liu Bei. They could only look for some in Wuchang City.
Someone with the skills to draw a rough map can be used as a temporary substitute.
But even on a rough map, there are some important landmarks marked on it, such as——
"Songz County... I remember that the commander once told us that he speculated that our scout disappeared near here - because this is the only place where the enemy can ambush his troops. Of course... if you want to pass through Songz County as soon as possible,
Zixian County, this is also the only way we must pass."
Shiren stepped forward and pointed out a certain spot on the map to Mi Fang for investigation.
Mi Fang looked at the landmarks on the map and murmured:
"The Armor Removal Ping?"
"To be specific, it should be Xiejiaping Ridge... Although there are people living here, they are just scattered villages and towns. The entire Xiejiaping is a relatively complex ridge. If you want to go deep into the mountains... you have to be careful...
"
Shiren added from the sidelines that he was anxious to send troops to rescue him before, but now that he calmed down, he did find many hidden dangers. Now he wants to avoid these hidden dangers as much as possible for the army in order to preserve enough war potential.
Only then will we be able to better rescue the Lord and the military advisor.
Mi Fang was thoughtful, and when he heard Shiren talking about a certain commander, he had an impression:
"The commander you mentioned should be named He Zhen, right?
Previously, he was a lieutenant directly under the general, but because of a fight in the army, he was demoted to my department... I also took a fancy to his ability before letting him be the vanguard, but..."
"I remember he once told me that if he found no abnormalities after inspecting the armor removal pad, he should have given me a reply... But how long has it been... Why haven't I seen it..."
Just like Mi Fang said, there was a full day's travel delay between the vanguard cavalry and them. The key point was that they were all light cavalry, so the distance between the two sides would only get wider and wider. Regardless of whether there was anything abnormal in the Jiajia Ping, this
He Zhen should have replied to them long ago.
How come they are almost at Xiejiaping now, but there is no news about He Zhen?
Shiren was also a little confused. He was about to send someone to confirm, but he only heard a commotion coming from the front of the army.
"Um?"
Mi Fang squinted her eyes and looked into the distance. She saw a few cavalrymen passing by the front army and running quickly towards the two of them deep in the middle army.
"Haha, isn't this coming?"
Shiren smiled and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Judging from the dress of those people, they seemed to be the vanguards sent out before.
He didn't realize at all that there was something strange about these cavalrymen...
It wasn't until these people came to them that the two of them saw the appearance of the visitor with dull eyes.
Blood?
"What are you..."
Mi Fang was a little stunned, because the cavalry he saw were covered in blood, and some were even scarred. It seemed that it was quite difficult to reach them.
"We were ambushed by the enemy at Shijiaping... Commander He Zhen... and all 485 soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion were killed... We are the last survivors... failed to complete the mission... betrayed the general's trust, and we are guilty
You deserve to die!"
This speech entered everyone's ears without any hindrance.
The shock it brought was no less than the news that Liu Bei and others were defeated in Jiangdong and were eventually besieged.
"What did you say... He Zhen... is also dead?"
Mi Fang's expression was stiff, as if she still hadn't been able to accept this result until now.
