Sun Sanjie's legs shook and he looked at this woman in disbelief.
Is she the wife of Cheng Guo? The wife of Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Shan? The imperial court’s first-grade imperial concubine?
Mrs. Yu nodded.
"I came here to take a look." she replied.
Sure enough, it was Mrs. Cheng Guo. Sun Sanjie was a little dazed, but there was already a sound of people kneeling down in the Chenghuang Temple.
"Mrs. Chengguo."
The people knelt down and shouted with excitement.
Everyone in the North knows Duke Cheng Guo, and naturally they also know Mrs. Cheng Guo.
It's just that Mrs. Cheng Guo is harder to see than Duke Cheng Guo. No one in their wildest dreams expected that the woman who had been eating and living with them for several days turned out to be Mrs. Cheng Guo.
Mrs. Cheng Guo came to help them personally.
Crying broke out in the Chenghuang Temple and soon spread, and people outside immediately fell to their knees with cheers.
………………………………….
After meeting Mrs. Cheng Guo, Tongpan and others no longer had any doubts that Changfeng's army had been deceived, but this made them even more worried.
Although the Changfeng Army was not deceived by the Jin spies, they still went to a dangerous place.
"It is too dangerous to go to Bazhou with only less than a thousand soldiers and horses." Tian Tongpan said, "I have been gone for several days and haven't come back yet."
I'm afraid it's going to be more bad than good.
He did not say this sentence, nor did he say another sentence that should have been said.
That sentence naturally means that we send troops to find them.
At this time, it is no longer the past, and we cannot do things with enthusiasm.
There was a moment of silence in the Chenghuang Temple.
Several generals turned red and turned their heads. Mrs. Yu looked calm and not dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, they will come back." She just said.
How can you be so sure? Just when Mr. Tian was about to say something, he heard a commotion outside.
"Master Li is back!"
Are you really back? Mr. Tian looked surprised, and a smile appeared on Mrs. Yu's face.
Master Tian sighed again after being surprised.
I don't know how heavy the casualties were.
Hearing his muttering, the soldier who came to report looked a little strange.
"A lot," he said.
Sure enough, there were many casualties? I knew it would be like this. It would be good to escape from death and escape with ten people protecting each other. There are not many soldiers in Hejian now, and Lord Tian feels very sad.
"No, a lot of people are coming." The soldier continued, pointing to the outside of the city, "Bring back two thousand refugees."
two thousand!
All the people rushed to the city gate, and the soldiers on the wall crowded to look outside.
"Are you sure it's Master Li?"
People were talking and pointing with disbelief, especially when they saw the densely packed people walking in the middle, protected by officers and soldiers.
A rough scan estimated that there were no less than 2,000 people, men, women, old and children in ragged clothes, carrying them on their shoulders and in their hands.
Tian Tongpan and others came to the city wall regardless of their status.
In addition to being surprised by the number of people, I was also surprised by the number of officers and soldiers.
"How many people came to you?" He couldn't help but ask again.
"More than nine hundred." Sun Sanjie said again.
More than nine hundred?
It looks like... Mr. Tian and others couldn't help but smack their lips. Why does it still look like more than nine hundred?
The team was getting closer and closer, and the faces of the officers and soldiers could be seen, and the familiar companions could not help but cheer loudly on the city wall.
The marching team did not make a commotion because of the cheers. They were still arranged in order, protecting the people from front to back and marching slowly.
Only one man and one horse were not in the queue, either running around the people, officers and soldiers, or galloping forward like the wind, or reining in the horse and stopping, just like an unruly pony acting wantonly.
As she ran, her scarf fell off, revealing her black hair.
Female!
Tian Tongpan and others on the city wall stared wide-eyed.
"Is this Miss Jun?" they asked.
Sun Sanjie shook his head and looked at the girl with her face covered who was running forward on horseback. He looked at her neatly draped bows, crossbows, long knives and other items, just like an officer or soldier.
And this girl can really kill people.
"No, Miss Jun doesn't know how to wield a knife or a gun." Sun Sanjie said hurriedly, "Miss Jun is a young lady."
She is a delicate little lady who doesn't know how to kill people.
Mrs. Yu smiled when she heard this.
Although the delicate little lady did not take action, she still killed a lot of people.
It was really interesting. As expected, there were women accompanying him. Tian Tongsuan and others also saw the women sitting in several cars in the approaching team.
"Is this the Qingshan Army?" Tian Tongpan asked.
Sun Sanjie nodded and pointed towards the city.
Zhao Hanqing had already galloped to the door first. A flag was tied to her horse. The bright red flag was fluttering, and the words "Qingshan Army" were very conspicuous on it.
"Open the door." she shouted loudly.
The city gate slowly opened, and Zhao Hanqing took the lead and rushed in.
"Madam, madam, are you ready at the porridge factory?" she shouted loudly, "there are a lot of people coming."
Madam Yu, who had already walked down the city wall to greet him, smiled and nodded.
"Everything is ready," she said, turning back to say hello.
Several men and women came out. They were refugees who had arrived earlier and were selected to make arrangements for the refugees.
Looking at the more than two thousand refugees who were frightened and emaciated, several men and women were filled with emotion and joy, and hurriedly led them to the City God's Temple.
Only the officers and soldiers were left in front of the city gate.
"Are these people from Bazhou?" Master Tian asked impatiently, looking at Li Guorui.
Li Guorui seemed to be in a bad mood and was in a trance.
"Yes." He replied.
After confirming more answers, the generals couldn't help but ask questions one after another.
"There are so many."
"How far have you traveled?"
Li Guorui seemed unable to respond and looked at these generals.
"Okay, okay." Mr. Tian actively stopped him, "Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, although I didn't encounter a gold thief, the trip was still tiring." Everyone said one after another with sympathy and relief.
Li Guorui's eyes finally focused.
"Who said we didn't encounter a gold thief?" he said, pointing to the carriages and horses behind him, "We seized a total of 223 heads, 123 sets of armor, and 18 war horses in the carriage."
He paused here and seemed to think for a moment.
"I can't remember exactly, probably this many."
After hearing no response, he looked towards Master Tian and others, and saw their expressions of shock and dumbfounded expressions.
"What do you mean?" Master Tian asked in a trembling voice, "Did you encounter a gold thief?"
Li Guorui nodded.
"I encountered three groups. The first group had more people, but the remaining two groups had very few people. They ran fast and didn't fight much," he said.
Sun Sanjie couldn't help but swallow.
"How many people are there?" he asked.
"More than fifteen hundred," Li Guorui said in a calm tone.
There was a low sound of breathing in front of the city gate.
Sun Sanjie swallowed again.
"You said that more than 900 of you met more than 1,500 gold thieves?" he asked.
Mr. Tian and other generals had already walked quickly towards the carriage and horses over there. The soldiers standing beside the carriage stepped aside, revealing that the carriage was filled with prisoners, and the piles of human heads and armors still smelled strongly of blood.
Master Tian looked at Li Guorui.
"How many casualties did you have?" he asked.
All of this is real, isn’t it a dream?
It was really strange, why did he feel that there were no fewer soldiers in front of him.
"Thirteen people were injured," Li Guorui said, "There are no dead."
The scene was quiet again, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
But how is this possible?
Nine hundred people, including women, met more than 1,500 gold thieves in the wild, and then defeated them? Killed more than 200 gold thieves, but only a dozen of them were injured?
Isn't this a dream? How is this possible?
"How did you fight?" Mr. Tian looked at Li Guorui and asked.
Yes, how did you do this?
All eyes were turned to Li Guorui, and Li Guorui looked to the side. A group of officers and soldiers had dismounted. They were of various ages, thin and dull, but they still stood motionless, like spears poking at the ground, exuding...
Very cold.
How?
Thinking of this scene, Li Guorui's breathing quickened.
It's terrible.
This battle is so terrible.
Not to mention the golden soldiers on the opposite side, even they were stunned.
Under the attack of stone bullets, spears and arrows, the Jin soldiers no longer had a square formation and no attack. Their souls were shattered and their hearts were broken, and they fled back randomly in the wilderness.
"kill!"
It wasn't until this moment that the female voice in the middle of the square spoke.
With this killing sound, the flags waved, the phalanx changed, the baggage carts retreated, the spears advanced, and the queues chased the fleeing Jin soldiers like rolling boulders.
This is truly a massacre.
Although there were more than 900 people, it was the less than 40 people who truly determined the outcome of this battle.
Li Guorui stretched out his finger.
"It was Miss Jun and the others who beat me," he said.
Miss Jun?
The generals present all looked as he pointed, and there was another young woman over there urging her horse to come slowly.
Zhao Hanqing rode his horse around the woman, with a red flag tied on the horse's back that matched Miss Jun's red cloak. The three characters "Qingshan Army" on the flag danced in front of everyone's sight.
