Chapter 97: Falling Flag
The siren blared in the military camp. The three-eyed tiger and others who were hiding in the distance jumped on their horses nervously and galloped out of the white poplar forest. Everyone was like a tightly wound clockwork.
, as long as the three-eyed tiger gives an order, more than a hundred people will rush forward.
"They're back!" The three-eyed tiger's eyes suddenly lit up, and in the darkness, two figures quickly ran towards this side, and on Yun Zhao's back, there was still a person vaguely carrying them.
"The boss has been rescued!" Three-Eyed Tiger couldn't suppress his inner excitement.
There was a faint whistle in the distance, and the black clouds on the snow beside the three-eyed tiger swooped out, running into the darkness. A moment later, the black clouds on the snow, carrying Yun Zhao and the other three people, appeared in front of the three-eyed tiger and others.
in front of people.
"Old Master..." The three-eyed tiger jumped forward and stopped in surprise after barking for half a sound. The baby on Yun Zhao's back was obviously a child who was not yet under age. It belonged to the old master.
Yun Zhao and Hong Niangzi threw their saddles and dismounted, their faces a little ugly.
"What's going on?" Three-Eyed Tiger asked.
"I haven't found the old master." Yun Zhao whispered, while the red lady was about to cry. She walked to the side and leaned on her saddle, her shoulders hunched. She was obviously extremely sad. The opportunities were limited. Every day, she would be rescued.
Shen Feng's hope will become smaller.
"What's going on with this little doll?"
"His name is Wang Qiang, and he is the son of Wang Min, the deputy general of Lucheng. Wang Min died in the battle against the Mongolian army in Lucheng. For some reason, Sima Rui actually wanted to kill the whole family of three of them. We arrived a little late, so
After rescuing this little baby, her grandfather and mother were killed." Yun Zhao touched Wang Qiang's head and was a little surprised at the strength of this child. Except that he cried for a while when his mother died, and now he is standing stiffly.
, which is very different from ordinary children.
"What should I do with the old master?" Looking at Yun Zhao, Three-Eyed Tiger asked. This time, if Feng was lost, it would not be difficult for the other party to determine who did it. It would be even harder to rescue Shen Feng in the future.
"They are going to retreat soon. Follow them and look for another chance!" Yun Zhao looked at the military camp opposite, "If it doesn't work, we will attack by force."
"Let's go!" Yun Zhao got on his horse, "Anyway, the traces have been exposed. We might as well put some pressure on them and let's go for a walk outside their military camp."
More than a hundred horse-riding bandits got on their horses and followed Yun Zhao towards the brightly lit place.
Outside Mrs. Wang's tent, the senior generals of the Lucheng border army gathered together, their faces full of shock. Of course, their shock was due to different reasons. Sima Rui and Shewenzhuang were shocked by the four soldiers they sent out.
All the famous killers were killed without exception, but only two of the people who wanted to kill were killed. Wang Min's son was nowhere to be seen. Who disturbed their good deeds? Suspicious eyes swept over Yao Meng and the other four people.
go.
The three defeated soldiers of the first battalion were pushed over. Two of them were in disheveled clothes, and their outer military uniforms had been stripped off. Looking at Yao Meng and a group of generals, the three of them knelt down in fear.
"What's going on?" Yao Meng shouted.
"Back to the general, the three of us were on our way back to our tent when two people suddenly appeared and knocked us down."
"Who are they? Do you see clearly?" Yao Meng asked.
A soldier raised his head and said, "A man and a woman, they also asked us where the people they caught during the day are being held?"
Sima Rui suddenly understood, "They are the horse bandits from Yingzui Rock. How brave. These horse bandits actually dare to break into my military camp. Qiao Zifang, you are responsible for tonight's star value. Are you a dead person? How dare you?"
Let someone swagger into the military camp?"
Qiao Zifang lowered his head and said, "General, at that time, the people of Caodian were sending food and reward materials. There was some chaos in the camp. The general was negligent. Please punish me, general!"
Yao Meng said: "General Sima, there is no need to be angry. If it is a man and a woman, and they are the Eagle-billed Rock Horse Bandits, they must be the famous red and black demons in the desert. If they want to sneak in, it is indeed difficult to guard against them. However, they
Why did you kill Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang? Also, how could these four people die here?"
Yao Meng looked at the six corpses lined up on the ground.
Shewenzhuang saw their doubts and said: "General Wang died heroically in battle. General Sima was grateful for General Wang's loyalty and specially sent four people here to protect Mrs. Wang's family. He didn't expect these horse bandits to be so frantic. It must be theirs."
Their whereabouts were discovered, so they killed him and silenced him."
Yao Meng nodded, this might be the only explanation, "Why is General Wang's only son missing? Come, look for him in the camp."
A shrill siren suddenly came from the camp gate, mixed with the rumble of horse hooves, and the cry of "enemy attack!" seemed particularly thrilling under the night sky.
"Are the Mongols chasing us? Come on, go to the camp gate!" Sima Rui shouted and ran away. A group of generals followed quickly, leaving only one person in Shewenzhuang staying in place, looking at the ground.
Seeing the corpses and bloodstains, his face slowly turned ugly, "Someone, bury them on the spot!"
At the camp gate, about a stone's throw away, more than a hundred horse bandits from Yingzui Rock stood reining in their horses. The first one was dressed in black and riding a big black-haired horse. Yun looked particularly eye-catching under the light.
Zhao, behind him on both sides, the red lady and the three-eyed tiger followed closely.
Sima Rui was so angry that his hands trembled. There were more than a hundred people, and they dared to challenge the tens of thousands of Lucheng border troops. There was no intention of taking him seriously, "Come on, come on, give me the general."
They went and destroyed them." Sima Rui was speechless.
"Wait a minute, general!" Yao Meng suddenly grabbed Sima Rui.
"Why, do you have any different opinions?" Sima Rui said angrily.
"General!" Looking at Sima Rui with blood-red eyes, Yao Meng whispered: "The opponent is all cavalry. Our cavalry is limited and cannot be compared with the opponent. If we send cavalry out and are pulled back by the opponent, we will lose."
Undoubtedly, if most of the infantry goes out, the opponent will retreat, and we will not be able to pursue it at all. Therefore, if we pursue, the formation will be slightly disrupted. With the ability of these horse bandits, the formation of the infantry can be disrupted in an instant.
, at that time, not only would soldiers be killed and injured, but also their morale would be greatly damaged. This is probably what the other side wants most, otherwise more than a hundred of them would dare to provoke? The general ignored them and wanted to see if they have the courage to attack the enemy.
camp?"
After being told by Yao Meng, Sima Rui slowly calmed down and nodded: "General Yao is right! I am not calm. Let's go. We don't need to pay attention to him."
In the distance, Yun Zhao saw that most of the Lucheng army had gathered at the gate, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out. The three-eyed tiger on the side said: "Sima Rui has never been on the battlefield, but Yao Meng under his command
, Qu Lu, Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian and others are all veterans on the battlefield and will not be easily fooled."
Yun Zhao drew out the broken army and said, "Now that I'm here, I can't come in vain!" He bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the main flag of the army on the border of Lu City above the camp gate, and shot out an arrow with a whoosh sound.
From this position, others could not shoot at him, but with Yun Zhao's ability, it was easy. The sharp arrow with a whistling sound shot through the air, and with a bang, it hit the rope hanging the flag of the generals on the border of Lucheng.
, in the night wind, the big flag embroidered with the word "Sima" floated down leisurely, attracting the exclamations of soldiers all over the camp.
Sima Rui was so angry that his hands and feet were cold. If Shewenzhuang hadn't rushed over to hold him tightly, he would have returned to the camp to fight.
Sima Rui returned to his Chinese army tent, looking at his background, Qu Lu said to Yao Meng: "Old Yao, didn't you realize something was wrong?"
Yao Meng nodded, "Mrs. Wang died strangely."
Wang Zhuang also came over and asked, "What's going on? Is there a problem there?"
"Wang Zhuang, didn't you see the wounds on Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang? Two of these four soldiers were strangled to death with long whips, and the other two were killed with sabers. It can be seen from the wounds that
The murderers used their usual sabers, which had a narrow and slender blade. However, the wounds on Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang were obviously caused by our military-style sabers. You said that the horse bandits would temporarily change their sabers when killing people.
A knife?" Yao Meng said gloomily.
Wang Zhuang and Ding Jian both trembled with excitement, "Old Yao, you mean that Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were killed by General Sima..."
"Shut up!" Qu Lu shouted.
The four of them looked at each other and saw a look of fear in each other's eyes.
"General Wang died to cover our first battalion. Fortunately, his son has disappeared now. He was probably rescued. Wang's cigarettes were finally saved." Yao Meng said: "The army will leave soon. How about you?
If you don't have anything else to do, why don't you come over to my place for a quick get-together?"
"My little brother has this idea!" Wang Zhuang nodded repeatedly. The other two people also agreed in unison.
Sima Rui's ruthlessness made all four of them feel a bit of a crisis. They were all old subordinates of Feng Congyi, and they had a close relationship with Wang Min. Although they later turned their backs on Wang Min, their feelings for so many years were still there. Sima Rui couldn't help it now.
We don’t rely on the four of them, but if we enter Tanzhou, which is an important sphere of influence of the Sima family, with Sima Rui having sufficient manpower and the support of Sima Ren, the four of them will no longer look like they did before.
It is very important. If this is the case, then the four of them must work together to survive. But they understand this truth.
Returning to the big tent, Sima Rui was furious and strode into the back tent. When he saw Shen Feng, who was tied up by four horses and fell to the ground, he immediately became furious and rushed forward.
A heavy kick kicked Shen Feng from one side to the other, "Aren't you Yingzuiyanma bandits arrogant? Come on, come on, let's see if they dare to rush here to save you?"
Shen Feng looked at the furious Sima Rui. Although blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, he laughed loudly, "Sima Rui, is this the only potential you have? Hahaha, if you only have this potential, I advise you to go home early.
Go to the hot kang where your wife and children are, otherwise, given time, you will definitely die without a burial place, hahaha!"
