Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 225 Zhao Guo Fu Li
Chapter 225 Zhao Guo Fu Li
Fifty miles west of Jicheng, a Qin army was stationed here.

After the Xiongnu ravaged the Central Plains, they gradually receded. Now that the danger in Youzhou and Liaodong was gradually decreasing, Li Xin discussed with Fusu and began to gradually regain many lost cities and territories in Liaoxi.

The inside of the city was a bit chaotic due to the deployment of troops. To be on the safe side, Li Xin assigned some soldiers to guard the outside of the city, and strictly controlled the many passages leading to Jicheng to avoid accidents.

It was already late at night, and on the avenue outside the north gate of the stronghold, there was suddenly the sound of horseshoes like a gust of wind and rain.

In the silent night, the sound of horseshoes suddenly appearing outside the camp was particularly ear-piercing.

The guards bowed their bows and prepared their arrows one after another, watching nervously at the end of the avenue.

They were all veterans of long battles. Although they were far away, they could all hear at least ten war horses galloping towards them.

"What are you doing waking me up in the middle of the night?" A centurion of the Qin army was disheveled, rubbing his eyes and muttering in dissatisfaction.

Apparently he wasn't happy about the Night's Watch waking him out of bed.

"Boss Qian, there is a cavalry coming towards us." The night watchman who woke him whispered.

The centurion was shocked, and at this time he also heard the sound of horseshoes more and more clearly. It was obvious that these cavalry were very close to them.He who was still a little impatient was suddenly shocked, and walked two steps to the gate of the camp to listen.

"More than twenty riders, will our army have scouts out tonight?"

"Not notified."

After listening for a while, Centurion Qian muttered to himself, then turned his head and ordered loudly to the dozens of subordinates around him: "Cheer up your spirits, get ready for the beacon fire, and listen to Lao Tzu's orders. If you are an enemy, hurry up!" Launch the attack."

"Hi!"

"Ang." A war horse galloping at the front suddenly let out a long and sharp howl, and then fell to the ground and died, foaming at the mouth.

Immediately, the knight was overturned to the ground before he could react, and his head fell heavily on the ground.

"brother!"

"Brother Tie Niu."

Seeing the sudden death of the knight from the horseback, the rest of the soldiers also shouted loudly.

These knights were none other than the guards originally stationed in Zhao County.

"Stop!" Everyone grabbed the reins one after another. Before the horses stopped, all the soldiers had turned over and jumped off the horses. The moment they landed, their legs softened and they staggered, and fell to the ground unsteadily.

After two days and two nights of non-stop driving and galloping, and the fact that they were already injured, they had reached their limits at this moment, not only mentally, but also physically.

Although horseshoes, horseshoes and horseshoes have all appeared, under Ying Gang's suggestion, except for the main battle cavalry, the rest of the cavalry are not equipped with these advanced equipment.

There is no saddle, and if you want to run continuously on horseback, you rely on the strength between your legs. After running for a long time, everyone's legs and thighs are worn out and bloody.

Not only did they reach their limit, but the physical strength of the war horses also reached its limit.

The horse that just fell to the ground to death was one of the two horses of the strong master soldier Tieniu.Tieniu's body was very strong, although the two horses took turns, when they arrived at Jicheng, the last horse died suddenly.

Although it is said that Tieniu's body is too strong, it can be seen from this that we can also know what the situation was at that time.If they were not in a hurry to spread the news to Jicheng, they would probably have all been lying on the road by now.

The name of the leader is Zhang Mu. At this moment, he scrambled and crawled to Tieniu's side, grabbed Tieniu and shouted anxiously: "Brother, brother, wake up quickly."

The rest of the scouts dismounted with difficulty, and crawled to Tieniu's side.

"Tie Niu, open your fucking eyes for me, you didn't die in the fight with the Huns, but now if you fall to your death like this, we will look down on you."

Zhang Mu's eyes were filled with tears, and the wound on his thigh that had been bandaged burst open again at this moment. Where he crawled over, the loess under his body turned into a long streak of bright red blood.

After Centurion Qian confirmed their identities, he hurried over.

When he arrived, almost everyone in the team collapsed on the ground.

Tieniu, who was the most seriously injured, was completely unconscious at the moment, and Zhang Mu beside him also passed out due to exhaustion.

After learning their identities, Centurion Qian placed the other members of the team in the stronghold for the time being, while he personally carried the Tieniu and led Zhang Mu towards the Supreme Command of the Qin Army in Jicheng.

Although the supreme commander of the Qin army stationed in the Liaodong area was Fusu, in fact all military and government affairs were handled by Li Xin.

Although Li Xin's family members were all in Jicheng, they still stayed in the barracks most of the time.

When the guards reported that there was an urgent military report, Li Xin had just lay down for a short time, and when he heard the news, he immediately got up in fear, put on a long robe and came out.

Li Xin remained calm until Zhang Mu finished talking about the actual situation in various places, his face was slightly moved.

Zhao Miao, the remnant of Zhao State, occupied Daijun, Guangyang, Julu, Handan and other places to restore Zhao State again, and now they are mobilizing troops and horses to attack other counties and counties.

Although most of the places he occupied were severely damaged by the Huns, and there were no people in ten, but the reappearance of the great enemy of Zhao State was not good news for the Qin army in Liaodong.

Now that Zhao, Wei and Chu have returned to their kingdoms one after another, the enemies of Qi and Lu are also undercurrents, and the communication between them and Guanzhong is completely cut off. If this continues, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to them.

"Zhang Mu, right? You have made great contributions, and I will truthfully ask His Majesty for your credit. Now you go to rest first, and the general will definitely arrange this matter properly." Li Xin turned his head and shouted loudly outside the hall. road.

"Come on, take these brothers down to have a good rest, and the brothers who came back with him must also heal with all their heart, and there must be no mistakes. Zhang Mu, today's news must not be leaked, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy. !"

"Hi!"

After everyone dispersed, Li Xin hurriedly returned to the desk, took out a few blank papers and began to write with a pen. After writing a secret letter, he yelled loudly, "Come here."

"My lord!" The guard came in and bowed.

"Pass this secret message to Xianyang by flying pigeons. Remember, the secret envoy must be careful to deliver it along the way, day and night."

"Hi!"

"In addition, mobilize troops from various places in Liaodong, and quickly occupy Liaoxi and Youbeiping. Scouts and scouts continue to investigate day and night, so there must be no mistakes."

"Hi!" The guard didn't dare to be careless when he heard that it was an emergency military situation, took the letter and walked out quickly.

"Wait." Li Xin shouted suddenly, after thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can go to work quickly!"

Li Xin originally wanted his personal guards to invite the eldest son Fusu, but he felt that this was too negligent, so he decided to go there himself.
