In front of the Jiang family, there was an endless plain. They saw a group of cavalrymen from afar.
Although it was several miles apart, Jiang Hanqing still saw from the other party's military flag that the other party was Qiu Te cavalry, because the color of the military flag was black, which was in line with Qiu Te's habit of being black, while the imperial military flag could only be yellow.
There were only about 500 Qiu Te cavalrymen, and they were lined up in two columns toward the east. Obviously, this was just a small rear-level army of Qiu Te people.
About ten miles ahead of this army, there was a group of Qiu Te cavalry with a larger number of people marching. Because the distance was too far, Jiang Hanqing could not estimate how many people there were.
Finally, Jiang Hanqing, who saw the troops behind Qiu Teren, couldn't help but be overjoyed. At this time, he had no time to take care of him and hurriedly led everyone to chase him.
At the same time, he did not forget to signal Chen Bin and asked him to take out the prepared white chess in advance and lift it up.
The marching speed of the Qiu Te cavalry in front was not fast. In less than three incense sticks, Jiang Hanqing and his party chased him to a place only one mile away from the other party.
At this time, the Qiute cavalry discovered several people catching up from behind.
A shouting sound, the Qiute cavalry stopped moving forward
The two columns originally arranged quickly spread to the left and right, forming a long impact formation
Fearing that the other party would misunderstand, Jiang Hanqing hurriedly waved his hand to slow down his progress.
Chen Bin didn't need Jiang Hanqing's reminder, and immediately raised the white flag in his hand and shook it hard, telling the other party that he had no hostility.
Jiang Hanqing and his party carefully rode their horses towards Qiu Teren.
The distance is getting closer and closer, and I have gradually seen Qiu Teren's costume clearly
This is a team of light cavalry, all wearing only black light armor, each with a set of bows and arrows hanging on its back. The scimitar used by the Qiute cavalry has been taken into his hands.
Seeing Jiang Hanqing and others approaching, all the Qiu Te cavalry did not move at all, just stopped the horse and stopped there.
Except for the occasional neighing of two horses, no sound is made
Since the distance is still far, Jiang Hanqing and others could not see Qiu Teren's facial expressions clearly, and could not guess Qiu Teren's true intentions.
When Jiang Hanqing and others walked about 500 steps away from Qiu Teren, a cavalry suddenly emerged from Qiu Te's cavalry group, and at the same time stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop moving forward towards Jiang Hanqing and his party.
Jiang Hanqing and his party did not dare to neglect and immediately stopped moving forward.
Chen Bin shook the white chess in his hand hard again, hoping that the other party would not misunderstand it.
The officer Qiu Te urged the horse to move forward a few more steps, then waved his hand
Behind him, all the Qiute cavalry immediately got into the sheath, and there was a choking sound
It seems that this guy is the leader of this team of Qiu Te cavalry, and he also seems to have seen that Jiang Hanqing and others have no malice, so he ordered his subordinates to take back their weapons. Seeing Qiu Te's actions, Jiang Hanqing felt relieved.
What made him feel lucky was that this guy was not like the extremely mindless barbarians in the legend of the Empire. He was not the kind of fool who would not ask the people who saw the Empire without asking for anything.
Jiang Hanqing pulled out his sword and handed it to Bai Yingjue, and whispered: You are waiting for me here! I went over and saw the soldier.
Without waiting for Bai Yingjue and others to say anything, Jiang Hanqing rode his horse forward and left the other people behind.
Seeing Jiang Hanqing handing the weapon on his body to the person next to him, the officer Qiu Te nodded and ran to Jiang Hanqing alone.
Jiang Hanqing soon met with the Qiu Teren, which happened to be near the midpoint of the two men.
Two people who are usually unrelated to each other, looking at each other curiously
The leader of the Qiute cavalry was wearing a very ordinary black soft leather armor, covered with dust left by the long-distance marching.
But there was a dazzling golden scimitar on his waist
Jiang Hanqing's eyes stayed on this special scimitar for a moment
He knew that according to the customs of the Qiute people, except for the cavalry officers who made great contributions on the battlefield, they could obtain and use gold swords and scabbards personally given by the emperor and use them, all other people were not allowed to use gold knives.
If a Qiu Teren wants to obtain the golden scabbard given by the emperor, it is not something that can be realized with ordinary small contributions. The winner must have made a wonderful honor that people dare not look up to.
For Qiu Te Ren, this gold sword can be said to be a symbol of honor and force
There are only a handful of people wearing golden swords in the country, and they are known as the invincible warrior in the army.
The people of the imperial people don’t know about the tradition of Qiu Te. When they see Qiu Te people wearing golden swords, they think that the other party is just a rich child.
Only aristocratic families like Jiang Hanqing understand how profound the meaning is.
But now the inconspicuous officer Qiu Te, who was standing in front of Jiang Hanqing, had such a gold scimitar on his waist. How could Jiang Hanqing not look at him with admiration?
At the same time, I also understood why Queen Qiute could choose him as the leader of the rear of the palace from thousands of good generals when the entire army retreated.
Jiang Hanqing raised his head and looked at the appearance of the cavalry officer who could get the golden sword given to Emperor Qiu Te.
The high nose bridge, the lips as tight as iron bars, the cheekbones are towering, the eye sockets are deep, the big eyes are sunken into the sockets, and the beards on the face are standing firmly and hard
This officer looks very ordinary, but gives people a shrewd impression. Moreover, he is not like most other Qiu Te men. The average Qiu Te looks will make people feel disgusted and disgusted from the bottom of their hearts at first glance.
Seeing Jiang Hanqing staring at him up and down, Officer Qiu Te did not show any displeasure at all.
What was beyond Jiang Hanqing's surprise was that this officer Qiu Te actually grinned at him.
Young Master, you worked hard to catch up with our army from behind, but I wonder what you need to do?
What emerged from Officer Qiute's mouth was the standard imperial official language
Listening to the other party speaking such standard imperial official language, Jiang Hanqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment
If it weren't for the golden scimitar on the other party's waist that reminded Jiang Hanqing of the other party's status in Qiu Te's army, he would almost think that the other party was an imperial officer.
May I ask the general Gao’s name?
Jiang Hanqing asked without answering
Officer Qiu Te in front of him laughed for a long time before saying: Looking at the young master, are you afraid that the official position under him is too small to be able to get a secret with Wen Shu?
Jiang Hanqing smiled silently and said: If anyone dares to doubt the status of the Golden Sword wearer in Qiu Te's army, this person must be a ignorant person!
Officer Qiu Te was stunned for a moment, then smiled proudly and said: I didn’t expect that the young master would know the origin of the golden sword in my Qiu Te army? Haha, the young master must be a very human! Since the young master is a wise man, I will open the skylight and speak out! The young master chased me from behind, but he did not intend to be an enemy of our army. He also understood the origin of the golden sword in my Qiu Te army. Where did the young master come from?
Jiang Hanqing smiled and said: Since the general asked, how dare you explain honestly? To be honest, I am a child of an imperial family, and I have always been dissatisfied with the current tyrant emperor. This time I came to find your army, just to help your army defeat the imperial army, so that we can make a difference in our country!
Officer Qiu Te seemed not to have thought Jiang Hanqing would be so frank. He looked him up and down for a while before asking: Did you meet an officer from our army a few days ago?
Jiang Hanqing was secretly happy when he heard this. He heard the meaning of this officer Qiu Te's words. Didn't Han Feilong really tell other Qiu Te's people what he wanted to surrender to?
If this is true, the next thing will be easier
Is the officer of the country mentioned by the general called Han Feilong?
Jiang Hanqing didn't dare to neglect her, and asked quickly
That young master was the one who spared his life mentioned by Han Feilong? Unexpectedly, what Han Feilong said was true! You are really here to surrender to our army!
Officer Qiu Te's words made Jiang Hanqing immediately understand that his guess was indeed correct.
Han Feilong really went back and told other people about his affairs.
Jiang Hanqing nodded repeatedly and said: Not bad! Not bad! I am the one who released Han Feilong! Has he been brought back to the general?
Officer Qiu Te looked at Jiang Hanqing with a squinted eyes and said: Do you know who Han Feilong is in our country?
Jiang Hanqing smiled and said: According to Han Feilong himself, he is the prince of your country's monarch and the queen's brother! I wonder if it is true?
Officer Qiu Te sneered and sighed: Han Feilong, this stupid pig, leaked his details to others so quickly! Alas! Her Majesty the Queen is so smart, why is her brother so stupid! Alas! Speaking of which, the late emperor is also a very smart person, how could he give birth to such an idiot son Ah! His slutty mother may really be a super fool!
After sighing for a while, Officer Qiu Te raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Hanqing for a long time, making his heart shudder.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Jiang Hanqing hurriedly asked: The general has not yet asked for advice...
The officer sneered and said, "Call your people here! Come with me! Don't ask other ones now, you will know later!"
After saying that, turn around and run toward your own team
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Hanqing had no choice but to turn around and greet the other people quickly.
After the officer ran back, he repeatedly called orders. Qiu Te's cavalry quickly started to complete the team, and soon he returned to the marching formation.
At this time, Bai Yingjue and others also came to Jiang Hanqing. When Jiang Hanqing saw that Qiu Te Ren had already started turning around and continued to walk east, he naturally did not dare to delay any further. He quickly took his subordinates to chase Qiu Te Cavalry Team
When several people from the Jiang family caught up with the Qiu Te cavalry, the Qiu Te cavalry immediately dodged left and right, emptying the road in the middle
Jiang Hanqing knew that they were giving way to him, so he led a group of people to urge his horse to run forward along the road vacant by the Qiu Te cavalry.
However, when they rushed to the middle of the Qiute cavalry team, they saw the Qiute cavalry whistle and then closed in the middle.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Hanqing and his seven men were surrounded by Qiu Te cavalry.
Jiang Wuxiong and Jiang Longxiang were shocked and wanted to grab Xiang's weapon. However, when he looked at Jiang Hanqing, he saw that he looked calm. He also saw that Qiu Te's cavalry had closed and did not move, but he just kept running eastward with everyone in his arms.
The two of them were relieved at this time, knowing that this was just a precautionary measure taken by the Qiute cavalry against them of unknown origin, not to say that they would immediately have any adverse actions.
Jiang Wuxiong, who was relieved, turned around and saw Qiu Te cavalry beside him staring at him. He thought it was fun for a moment, so he made a ghost face to the other party.
The Qiu Te cavalry who was staring at Jiang Wuxiong vigilantly did not expect that the other party was in the mood to make a face. He couldn't help but feel angry and turned around and turned to look forward and stopped looking at him anymore.
As for Jiang Hanqing, he had already figured it out. The officer Qiu Te just now would not believe in himself just now because of a few simple words or the idiotic narrative of Han Feilong.
The other party will definitely be careful of himself during the journey and explore his own details at the same time
You must deal with it well, and you cannot make the other party feel that you have any bad intentions and thus take any extreme actions that are unfavorable to you.
While Jiang Hanqing was thinking about everything, the previous officer slowed down from the front leader and slowly retreated. When Jiang Hanqing ran to the scene, he urged the horse and Jiang Hanqing to go side by side.
After running for a while, the officer Qiu Te started chatting with Jiang Hanqing in a mess. Is the young master really going to help our army? ... The young master is the noble surname? ... The young master... ...
Along the way, Officer Qiu Te kept asking various questions, all to explore the origin of Jiang Hanqing.
In order to gain the other party's trust, Jiang Hanqing did not hide his true identity, so he told the other party his origin and the true purpose of the trip.
The officer Qiu Te was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Hanqing telling his true identity so frankly, but he was no longer as suspicious as before, and even began to believe it slowly.
At the same time, his vigilance towards Jiang Hanqing was immediately reduced a lot, and he also proposed to escort him to see the queen and ask the queen to come and ask him to ask him in person.
When Jiang Hanqing mentioned asking him not to easily reveal his identity to others, he planned to do so.
This officer Qiu Te seemed to have basically believed his words, and he promised that he would never disclose it to the third person besides the queen.
During the chat along the way, Jiang Hanqing finally learned the origin of this officer
It turns out that this guy is named Han Zhengtian, a member of the royal family of Qiu Te Kingdom. He is the cousin of a former emperor of Qiu Te Kingdom and the peer of the current queen Han Yuexue.
Han Zhengtian is forty-one years old this year and is a famous general in Qiu Te's army.
Since the age of sixteen, he has made countless contributions
It was when he got the golden knife on him when he was twenty-six years old
It was also when fighting against the imperial army that Han Zhengtian commanded 8,000 Qiute cavalry to annihilate 30,000 elite heavy cavalry in the imperial world and became famous in one battle.
In ecstasy, Emperor Qiu Te pulled out the golden sword he wore in public and gave it to this nephew who made great achievements.
From then on, this golden sword became an item that Han Zhengtian never left for a moment
From Han Zhengtian's mouth, Jiang Hanqing knew that Han Zhengtian was one of the three commanders of Qiu Teguo before this invasion of the empire, and had a similar status as the emperor's uncle Han Xionglie and the grand master Wu Heyan.
Because he opposed Qiu Te's army's invasion of the empire, he was suppressed by Han Xionglie and Wu Heyan, and even Han Yuexue was not able to protect him obviously, so he had to cancel all his posts and stay in the army to listen to him.
In this war to invade the empire, Han Xionglie believed that he would win a great victory and was afraid that Han Zhengtian would seize the merits. Therefore, at the beginning, he tried to put Han Zhengtian in the rear army and prevent him from going to fight.
When Qiu Te's army retreated, Han Xionglie knew that he would not get much advantage this time, so he tried his best to recommend Han Zhengtian to command the rear of the hall in front of Han Yuexue. Han Yuexue was worried about the decisive battle with the imperial army and did not consider too much, so he agreed with Han Xionglie's suggestion and let Han Zhengtian command the rear of the hall.
Although Han Zhengtian felt that Han Xiong Lie would take the credit and avoid the difficulties, he was very angry, but after all, he felt that being able to fight was a good thing, so he agreed to serve as the rear of the palace.
Who knew that Han Xionglie was not dead? When Han Zhengtian took over the army, he found that there were only 5,000 light cavalrymen in the army. He knew that he had been cheated by Han Xionglie again.
Han Zhengtian almost burst into anger, but the emperor's order has already been put down and it is difficult to recover.
Now that things have come to this point, he has no choice but to do anything
Only by knocking off teeth and swallowing blood, I recognized it myself
In the past two days, Han Zhengtian commanded the troops in his hand to fall behind the army. He didn't dare to run fast if he wanted to run. He was afraid of surpassing the snails in front of him, and he was very annoyed.
Han Zhengtian always leads the way in war, charges ahead and retreats behind
Although this march felt very cowardly, it was no exception. Despite his opposition, Han Zhengtian insisted on walking with the last five hundred brothers.
This is why Jiang Hanqing was able to see Qiu Teren in the last small army
Although Han Zhengtian still retained a certain degree of caution towards Jiang Hanqing, once he talked about something related to Han Xionglie, he couldn't help but get angry. Unconsciously, he shook out all the words he was holding in his heart and said to Jiang Hanqing to listen to.
From Han Zhengtian's mouth, Jiang Hanqing immediately came up with a clue. It seems that the relationship between Qiu Teren's internal relationship is definitely not as harmonious and calm as he looks on the outside. Especially the emperor named Han Xionglie, he definitely does not sound like an ordinary person who is willing to be calm.
Jiang Hanqing knew in his heart that it seemed that his trip to Qiu Te would be more twists and turns
While chatting, Jiang Hanqing also carefully observed Qiu Te's cavalry for the first time so close.
This team of Qiute cavalry is a light cavalry
In the Imperial Army, heavy cavalry bears the frontal impact tasks during large corps operations, with sharp blades and thick armor, which is particularly valued; while light cavalry is mainly responsible for flanking attacks, covers, and daily patrols, and alerts
Therefore, in which aspect the status of heavy cavalry is higher than that of light cavalry
In Qiute's country, although the status of the heavy cavalry is not as large as that of the imperial army, the heavy cavalry is still more favored by superiors to a certain extent because of its stronger impact. For example, Emperor Qiute's personal guard, the Hu Ben Army, is a typical heavy cavalry team.
Therefore, soldiers with higher quality will be selected to be in the heavy cavalry team, and except for a few of the light cavalry, most of them are worse than those with better quality.
Observing the entire military quality of Qiu Teren from this team of light cavalry, although it can be seen from the leopard, it can also reflect its current situation.
The team of light cavalry in front of me was trapped after a long march, and it felt like it was covered with horses and was covered with tents.
Even so, when riding a horse, these Qiute cavalry still stood up straight and their bodies were as if they were stuck to the horse's back. The bumpy road was not very affected, which shows that the equestrian skills were excellent.
Everyone did not laugh casually along the way, making loud noises, keeping the marching formation neatly, and being disciplined
Compared with the current imperial cavalry, the situation of riding on horseback and falling on horseback is really incomparable.
Jiang Hanqing saw it, praised it in his heart, nodded secretly, thinking: Qiu Te's cavalry is indeed far better than the emperor's army! The empire is still complacent and thinks it is invincible to the emperor in the world, the emperor! Your doomsday is coming!
In the evening, the setting sun is like blood
The small Qiu Te cavalry unit that Jiang Hanqing followed was exhausted after a long journey.
The place they were walking through was a rare hilly area in the vast plains in the middle of the empire, with continuous ups and downs.
Han Zhengtian rode on the horse and looked around
There are small mountain bags everywhere you look, and my army that was not far away in front is blocked by the mountain and cannot see their specific location.
This kind of hill bun that occasionally appears in plains is not high, and generally speaking, it is impossible to hide any large army.
But after leading such a small team of tired soldiers, after a arduous march, the terrain was unfamiliar, Han Zhengtian couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Jiang Hanqing also knew in his heart that if he met a volunteer army composed of local people familiar with the terrain in such a hilly area, these five hundred Qiu Te people would not be able to deal with it.
Then, I will be able to get along with them, but I will be in trouble.
Jiang Hanqing asked Han Zhengtian worriedly: General Han, how far is the unit in front of your army from us? I guess it is about ten miles from the distance I saw on the plain in the afternoon?
Han Zhengtian looked at Jiang Hanqing uneasyly and said: Not bad! My other unit with more than 4,000 people is about ten miles away from us.
After a pause, Han Zhengtian cursed: Damn! What the hell is it in the plain area? But who would have thought that there would be such a bunch of small hills in the plain? Fuck! The group of pigs in front were also, and they didn't stop waiting for us even when they saw a mountain! They only knew that they were running forward with their heads down! Look, now there is no ghost shadow! Alas!
Looking around again uneasyly, Han Zhengtian waved his hand and shouted: Brothers, disperse the formation and be prepared for the surprise attack!
The tired Qiu Te cavalry were already drowsy, and some were already dozing off on the horse's back. At this moment, when he heard Han Zhengtian's roar, he woke up immediately, straightened his back, pulled out his scimitar and looked around.
Some people with some minds suddenly found that they had entered the hilly area, and were even more nervous and looked around vigilantly.
When they climbed over a mountain, they once saw the troops in front appearing on another mountain, but soon disappeared behind the mountain bag again
In this case, I climbed over two more hills and it was already dark, but I still haven't seen the troops in front stop and camp.
Jiang Hanqing was a little anxious and asked Han Zhengtian: General Han, when will your country's army usually camp?
Han Zhengtian looked at Tian and turned around and said: At this time, the rear army should have already set up camp. The other 4,000 people under my command might have already set up camp in front of me! But I guess it will take at least half an hour for us to catch up with them, and we can rest when we enter the camp! Damn, this ghost place is the same, how could such a small hill suddenly appear! It's so annoying!
Jiang Hanqing shook his head and said: It's Ah! If there is no such terrain in this way, if there is no one running on the plain for a day, it will be like this when it's dark. It's really a shaking death! Alas! How could the army forcefully march Ah after it's dark?
Han Zhengtian sighed and said: It's Ah! He should have stopped to camp before it was dark, but...ah... it's not just to drive more roads! Damn, he kept retreating without fighting! The morale of the soldiers is about to be discharged! Alas...
He sighed a long time, and Han Zhengtian said again: Even if you retreat, you should fight and retreat! You will retreat thousands of miles like now, it is true... Alas! In theory, Her Majesty the Queen should be very clear about these principles, why is this happening? I don’t know what Her Majesty the Queen thought?
While the two were talking, the team happened to pass through a ditch between the two hills.
As if to prove that the two people's worries were not redundant, there was a sudden shout of killing on the hills on both sides, and countless stones smashed down from the hills.
Jiang Hanqing smiled bitterly and said: General Han, it seems that we have encountered a local snake!
Han Zhengtian had no time to pay attention to him and was busy ordering his soldiers to call for help.
For a moment, the shrill sound of cow horns sounded in the valley, and the sound soared into the sky
Jiang Hanqing was still shouting: General Han, it seems that the other party is waiting to eat your tail to death!
Han Zhengtian was commanding his men to disperse his formation and prepare to fight. After hearing this, he turned his head and stared at him fiercely and said: Mr. Jiang, please stay here and don’t move around, otherwise the sword will be eyeless, so don’t blame me for being rude!
Jiang Hanqing sighed and said: General Han still can’t trust his brothers? Alas! No wonder the general!
Han Zhengtian ignored him and just ordered a dozen or so guards beside him and said: You should keep an eye on them, and if there is any abnormal movement, you will be executed immediately!
The guards responded with a loud promise and immediately surrounded Jiang Hanqing and others, staring at them with a gaze.
Seeing this, Bai Yingjue, who was standing next to Jiang Hanqing, turned around and looked at Jiang Hanqing, and at the same time, his hand slowly moved to the sword at his waist. Just wait for Jiang Hanqing to draw his sword and start his hand.
Jiang Hanqing glanced at her, shook her head and said: It's okay! Don't worry, let them be nervous!
Bai Yingjue nodded after hearing this, looked at Jiang Hanqing and smiled gently, and his hand left the hilt of the sword.
In this short time, Qiu Teren had been killed by more than ten stones flying down the mountain.
The soft leather armor they wore was not very protective when it was hit by a big stone.
The enemy on the mountain obviously had no intention of rushing down, but kept shouting and scolding on the top of the mountain and constantly throwing stones downwards.
For a moment, the Qiu Te cavalry had to run away in the ravine with their heads in their arms, and there was no other way
A personal guard beside Han Zhengtian shouted: General, let’s rush up! Now that we can only be beaten, it’s really not a solution! I don’t believe that we can’t beat them even if we rush up!
Han Zhengtian glared at the guy and angrily shouted: Fuck! Rush up to fill the trap for others! They clearly wait here to kill their tails, how could they be unprepared!
He raised his head and looked at the surrounding terrain. Han Zhengtian shouted: Brothers, go east! Break out of this ravine and climb the mountain to the east, and you will soon be able to meet with our own troops. The enemy will be defeated without attacking you! Brothers, act quickly! Be careful not to get separated!
With his order, Qiu Te's cavalry immediately rushed eastward
Jiang Hanqing and others followed closely behind him
While running, Jiang Hanqing clearly heard someone shouting on the mountain: Qiu Te barbarian fled eastward! Brothers, rush out and beat the fallen dog Ah! rush Ah!
In an instant, countless torches were lit on both sides of the mountains, and dense crowds rushed down from the mountains, one by one, one by one, holding a torch in one hand and a bright steel knife in the other.
While running in a hurry, Jiang Hanqing still did not forget to judge the number of these volunteers. He could not see how many people were in the dark night. It was only from the number of torches that there were at least several thousand people.
Jiang Hanqing couldn't help but secretly shocked and thought: In a small place, so many loyal and brave people can be accumulated, so the power of the people should not be underestimated!
Since these volunteers were all walking, the Qiute cavalry who rushed in front rushed out of the ravine before the volunteers rushed over and fled to the small hillside located on the east side of the ravine that they had previously selected
Jiang Hanqing and others followed Han Zhengtian and escaped from the ravine and rushed up the hillside.
The terrified people looked back and saw the bad luck of the team Qiu Te Ren falling behind!
There are about fifty people in the group of Qiute cavalry who fell behind.
Before they could run out of the ravine, the volunteers who rushed in front had already rushed down the bottom of the ditch and came to them. Although many people were killed by them, they blocked the way of the cavalry.
The large group of people who arrived continuously from behind quickly surrounded the Qiu Te cavalry team in the middle.
Under a crazy slash, Qiu Te cavalry was like a small lonely boat struggling on the sea in a storm. In a moment, they were swallowed up by the storm and could no longer see any trace.
At this time, everyone who fled to the hillside also completely saw the dress of these volunteers.
These volunteers are indeed ordinary farmers, and they have not even changed their clothes at all. Some people don’t even have decent weapons in their hands, just holding hoes and wooden sticks
After Han Zhengtian lowered his eyelids and killed the small team of Qiu Te cavalry, the volunteers shouted and vented their inner joy for victory
However, a sound of gongs came from the north mountain. The volunteers in the ravine quickly stopped the noise when they heard the gongs and began to pack up the battlefield in an orderly manner.
They held Qiu Teren's war horse, carried dozens of dead bodies left by Qiu Teren, packed up the weapons scattered on the ground, then put out the torches in their hands, and sank into the boundless darkness again
Jiang Hanqing and Han Zhengtian couldn't help but be stunned, surprised by the outstanding combat qualities shown by this volunteer army
Judging from their quick movements, they obviously have undergone rigorous combat training. Everything is so well-trained, not like an ordinary mob, and it is inconsistent with their poor equipment.
Seeing the Volunteers disappearing into the mountains again, Jiang Hanqing sighed and said to Bai Yingjue: It’s really not easy to be able to train this Volunteer Army Ah! I don’t know who this person is! It’s a pity, Ah, it’s a pity! Such a talent is hard to come by, I missed it like this... Alas!
Bai Yingjue gently comforted him: Qing, there are always talents! You don’t have to worry! Otherwise, if you think this is good, when we come back, we will come here to find out who this person can make you admire so much, okay?
Jiang Hanqing nodded and said: OK! If I forget then, you must remember to remind me! Do you know? This guy is really not simple. How much time and energy does it take to train such a large group of farmers to perform like this today? This person must have started training these farmers a long time ago! Alas! He is such a talent!
Just as Jiang Hanqing was sighing repeatedly, everyone heard a noise from behind the mountain, shouting, and horse hooves sounded.
The sound is getting louder and closer
The Qiu Te cavalry who had just fled the smuggling of the Volunteers immediately became nervous again. Look at me, I look at you, my heart is thumping.
Han Zhengtian listened nervously for a while, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxed significantly, turned his head and said to Jiang Hanqing: Okay! The people in front of us are turning around and reinforcements are coming!
After hearing this, Jiang Hanqing listened carefully and heard it, he heard from the other side of the mountain that Qiu Teren used to make remote contacts.
After a while, their team met with more than 4,000 Cavalrymen who turned back to reinforce, and the hearts of the crowd finally landed.
After reassembling the team, counting the number of people. The cowardly battle just now made more than 70 soldiers of Qiu Te no longer see tomorrow's sunrise.
Han Zhengtian didn't dare to move forward in the dark anymore. He found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ordered the whole team to camp.
At the same time, a fast horse was sent to report to the main force of Qiu Te's rear army in front, requiring the entire army to be on strict alert.
That night, the volunteers beat the gong and drums on the mountains on all sides.
Qiu Tejun is on shift night to prevent the volunteers from attacking
The volunteers also sent a small group of troops to approach the site of Qiu Tejun's camp, releasing cold arrows, and when Qiu Teren was about to go to war, they quickly withdrew.
After doing this a few times, Han Zhengtian ordered that except for the small number of people on the night, everyone else would rest. No matter how the enemy provoked, they would just stick to the camp and not attack at will.
The Volunteer Army sent troops over several times. Seeing that Qiu Te no longer paid attention to it, he did not send anyone to tease him anymore, but continued to beat drums and drums from other hills from afar
This bustling night made Qiu Teren unable to sleep at night. It was not until dawn the next day that the volunteers quietly withdrew.
Jiang Hanqing chatted with Han Zhengtian for the middle of the night, revealing all the purpose, ideas, opinions on the current situation, etc. of his trip, etc.
The most wonderful thing is that many of his views coincide with Han Zhengtian, which made Han Zhengtian sigh that he would regret that he would be late.
By the end of the conversation in the early morning, Han Zhengtian had completely believed in Jiang Hanqing and deeply admired his talents.
The next morning, everyone got up early and prepared to start a new day's march
After last night's turmoil, the Qiu Te cavalry, who had been very careful, dared not be careless today
Five thousand cavalrymen packed up early in the morning and rushed eastward
According to Han Zhengtian, their troops are the last troops at the rear of the hall and are already too far behind the front troops. It is really dangerous to continue like this. It is better to shorten the distance with the main troops.
Along the way, you can see the spies of the Volunteer Army looking around on the hills in the distance. The Qiu Te cavalry all looked nervous, holding scimitars in their hands, ready to deal with the sneak attack of the Volunteer Army at any time.
After walking for an hour, I suddenly saw the smoke and dust rising in the road ahead
Everyone is a common warrior on the battlefield. From the height of the smoke and dust, it should be a heavy cavalry unit.
Han Zhengtian frowned, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to quickly deploy defense, and murmured: I hope it is our reinforcement unit Ah!
A personal soldier next to him said: General, there will be a cavalry from Xia Kingdom here and there! It must be the troops sent by our rear army to reinforce!
Han Zhengtian nodded without saying anything and still had a serious expression
Jiang Hanqing said leisurely: It is probably difficult to find the heavy cavalry of Xia Kingdom nearby at this moment. This army should be your army! We are safe for the time being! Alas!... However, your army has penetrated more than 2,000 miles deep into the enemy territory, and in fact it is just a narrow area. It can be said that even this narrow area, you have not really controlled it. At this moment, the people and the remaining troops in the eastern part of the empire are constantly organizing, and using the familiar terrain to launch an attack on the army along the way. The situation is really not good! I think the empress of your country retreated east so quickly because of this reason!
Han Zhengtian looked at Jiang Hanqing, sighed and nodded and said: Alas! What the young master said is very Ah! Since the army was launched in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, it has been more than two months since our army won consecutive battles, but the empire is vast and has many talents. Our army really has no advantage! Judging from what happened last night, it is even more difficult to walk in the future!
As he spoke, the army from the east was getting closer and closer. From a distance, you could see the military flag flag raised high and walking at the front of the team. It was the heavy cavalry unit of Qiu Tejun.
Han Zhengtian's subordinates couldn't help but cheer in unison here.
When the two troops met, the leading general of the reinforcement troops came over and saluted Han Zhengtian: Tianshu, general Ha Mi came to report last night. After your urgent report reached the camp of the rear army, Commander U Heyan was very anxious. He ordered the general to order 10,000 heavy cavalry and 15,000 light cavalry to come west overnight. Reinforce Tianshu quickly and obey your command! Wushu also said that he would slow down the marching speed and wait for Tianshu to meet him!
After hearing him, Han Zhengtian nodded and smiled: Haha! Old Wu is still afraid that my bad life will be taken away by the barbarians of Xia Kingdom! Haha...
Jiang Hanqing knew that the Wu Heyan they mentioned was one of the three commanders Qiu Te who was as famous as Han Zhengtian and Han Xionglie, and was also the current commander of Qiu Te's rear army.
The night before, Jiang Hanqing once heard Han Zhengtian say that Wu Heyan and Han Zhengtian have always had a close relationship, but they don’t catch much colds about Han Xionglie.
Han Zhengtian asked the secret again and said: Have you ever seen bandits along the way?
Ha Mi nodded and said: There are small investors everywhere on the hills along the way, but the last one is in a hurry to reinforce Tianshuai, so he didn't pay much attention! Will you have to sweep along the way later?
Han Zhengtian shook his head and said: Forget it! It’s useless to sweep it. The small investors can’t find it by just drilling into the valley. I’ll waste my energy in vain. Anyway, we have 30,000 people now, and we will join forces together. These civilians will naturally escape when we see the wind and ignore them!
Now we have reorganized the troops, with 10,000 heavy cavalry in front, 20,000 light cavalry in back, and 30,000 people heading eastward
The small group of volunteers along the way did not dare to harass them when they saw their military appearances. They just shook flags and shouted on the hills in the distance.
When Qiu Te's army climbed the last mountain, about to leave this hilly area and enter the plains again, countless volunteers shouted from the hill behind him: Wu Sifei led the villagers to send Qiu Te's barbarians home! I wish you a good journey and annihilate the entire army! Oh...oh...haha...
When Jiang Hanqing heard this, he looked at Han Zhengtian who was next to him: It seems that Wu Sifei, the one who trained the volunteer army!
Han Zhengtian looked at Jiang Hanqing with interest and said: Not bad! It should be this guy! It is really not easy to train a group of civilian bandits like this! It seems that Young Master Jiang is advocating this person?
Jiang Hanqing smiled and said: It’s Ah! It’s easy to get a thousand troops, but it’s hard to get a general! When I return from your country, I must meet this guy named Wu Sifei!
In the afternoon of that day, the Qiu Te army followed by Jiang Hanqing finally caught up with Qiu Teguo's rear army.
Qiu Te's army had a total of 300,000 troops during this expedition, all of which were elite cavalry. It can be said that the elite troops from the whole country gathered here.
Among them, 100,000 heavy cavalry and 200,000 light cavalry
The entire army is divided into three front, middle and back
The commander of the former army, the emperor Han Xionglie, was appointed with 30,000 heavy cavalry and 50,000 light cavalry; the commander of the latter army, Wu Heyan, was under the jurisdiction of 30,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry; the commander of the central army, was personally appointed by the Empress Han Yuexue, and had 40,000 heavy cavalry and 120,000 light cavalry.
At this moment, all the 60,000 troops of Qiu Teguo's rear army gathered together. The lineup was prosperous, the people were strong, the horse was powerful, and it was spectacular.
A group of cavalry rushed over from afar
Among them, the old man wearing goose feather armor, tiger helmet, and a golden knife hanging around his waist. Although his cheeks were covered with white beards, he looked energetic.
Jiang Hanqing immediately understood that this old man was the famous Wu Heyan
Han Zhengtian hurriedly met
The two jumped off the horse, laughing and hugging each other tightly
After parting, Han Zhengtian said something to Wu Heyan. After a while, Wu Heyan's sharp eyes shot towards Jiang Hanqing.
Jiang Hanqing knew that Han Zhengtian was introducing his situation to Wu Heyan, so he smiled and nodded to Wu Heyan to show his friendship.
Wu Heyan also smiled and nodded in response. He looked quite easy-going.
After a while, Han Zhengtian brought Wu Heyan over.
Jiang Hanqing hurriedly jumped off his horse and went up to meet him
Before the Wu Heyan people arrived, laughter had already come. They arched Jiang Hanqingyao with a loud voice and said: Haha! I really didn’t expect that Young Master Jiang would come to the customs army! Lucky! Lucky!
I dare not! I dare not! I heard about the reputation of the general. I have seen him today. I am really lucky to see him for three lives! I hope the general will give you advice in the future!
Jiang Hanqing hurriedly bowed his hands and said politely
At this time, Wu Heyan had already walked closer, looked at Jiang Hanqing carefully, and said: Heroes are young Ah! Alas! The ancients said, first observe the appearance of people! I, an old man, never dreamed that there would be a young master in the world who was so handsome and casual! Haha!
Jiang Hanqing laughed and said: Haha! The Grand Marshal has been awarded too much! I am just a gold and jade, and the decay is among the most beautiful! It makes the Grand Marshal laugh!
Wu Heyan is still waiting for him to speak, Han Zhengtian said: Hey! Old Wu, Young Master Jiang! Are you both annoying? There are so many people waiting for you here, and everyone is still rushing east, but you are there politely making trouble! Everyone is from the army, be more cheerful!
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this
Jiang Hanqing and Wu Heyan couldn't help but smile, and urged each other again, no longer talking nonsense at the moment, and turned on their backs and continued to move forward.
As soon as he got on the road, Wu Heyan started to talk with Jiang Hanqing, and he talked nonsense in the southeast, west and north.
Wu Heyan soon discovered that the young master of the Jiang family in front of him was indeed full of all-encompassing things, astronomy, geography, marching and governing the country, and all aspects were quite accomplished.
Wu Heyan was impressed and turned around to Han Zhengtian: Brother Zhengtian, you were opposed to attacking Xia Kingdom. To be honest today, I was very unhappy with you at that time, but at this point, I saw such a heroic figure in my heart. I realized how powerful my eyes were! If Young Master Jiang commanded the imperial army, how could we go deep into Xia Kingdom so easily! Maybe we would have rolled up the bedding and went home long ago haha! Alas! The emperor of Xia Kingdom is really confused now, and I don’t know how to use Young Master Jiang as a talent, haha, but in this way, Young Master Jiang will be on our side. Speaking of which, we have to thank Emperor Wu Ming, haha!
Han Zhengtian and Jiang Hanqing couldn't help laughing when they heard his straightforward words.
This brings Jiang Hanqing and the two closer together
On the way, Wu Heyan introduced Jiang Hanqing the current situation facing Qiu Tejun
When Qiu Te's army retreated to the east this time, it started to be quite smooth, but gradually the commanders found that life was getting harder and harder.
The people in the empire, the reorganized local troops and even the remnants of the army began to launch harassing attacks on the Qiu Te army day after day
Although this attack has not caused much casualties to Qiute's army, it has had a very bad impact on Qiute's army's marching schedule.
And if this momentum continues, maybe the Qiute army will suffer a significant loss that day.
Due to the continuous harassment of the Imperial military and civilians, the small troops of Qiute's army are no longer afraid to leave the brigade too far away.
The scout released was even more tiny, afraid that he would be eaten by the Xia people if he accidentally did so.
U Heyan sighed: Now Her Majesty the Empress has found that the situation is critical and ordered the entire army to shrink its formation and retreat east at full speed! But it is not a solution to keep retreating like this! Maybe before returning to the country, the morale of the army will be completely disintegrated!
Han Zhengtian nodded and said: It's Ah! I'm worried about Ah too! I don't think we should rush to the Central Army and advise Your Majesty!
U Heyan glared at him and said: You want to die! Without His Majesty's order, you dare to leave your army and go to see you privately? The last time you obstructed the army from going to the expedition was not settled with you, so you still delivered it to your door by yourself? At that time, Han Xionglie will deduct you as soon as you face the enemy, abandon your subordinates, and disobey your orders. I see that you will die by sure!
Han Zhengtian was silent after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice: So, as you said, I am just staying here stupidly, and sitting there to see the morale of the soldiers gradually fading away?
Wu Heyan sighed and thought for a while and said: Her Majesty the Queen is a talented person, so she will naturally think of these issues and deal with them! How can you and I worry about it?
Han Zhengtian said anxiously: I am afraid that Her Majesty the Queen, the nobles are troublesome! As the saying goes, a wise man will lose everything if he wants to worry about it! When he really encounters a low morale, what should he do?
Jiang Hanqing said at this time: Why don't you... let the boy go to see Her Majesty the Queen of your country first and see if there is anything you can do to do your best?
Han Zhengtian and Wu Heyan were speechless for a moment. Look at me, I look at you
After a long time, Han Zhengtian Dao: There is really no way to do it, so I can only do this! Mr. Wu, look...
Wu Heyan pondered for a while and said: Since that's the case, I have to bother Young Master Jiang! My brother Zhengtian and I jointly wrote a letter to explain the origin of the young master to Her Majesty the Queen. I hope she can listen to your opinion. In addition, the Young Master will take my command arrow and I will send another team of cavalry to lead you. In this way, you can arrive at the central army and ask to see Her Majesty the Queen. Then you can meet Your Majesty, but you can only rely on the Young Master to adapt to the situation!
After hearing this, Han Zhengtian nodded in agreement with this approach.
No more nonsense at the moment. Several people immediately kicked off their horses and set up a simple table on the side of the road. Wu Heyan wrote a secret letter to Queen Qiu Te. After writing, he and Han Zhengtian signed the letter and sealed the wax and handed it to Jiang Hanqing
Jiang Hanqing took the letter and a command arrow from U Heyan. He led Bai Yingjue, Lin Fengxian and six others to leave the brigade and accelerate to the east to meet the famous Queen Qiu Te who had been heard for a long time.
The other ones were also sent by Wu Heyan to serve as a escort mission. The leading general was named Wu Li, who was Wu Heyan's nephew, which shows Wu Heyan's importance to Jiang Hanqing.
Although it was several miles apart, Jiang Hanqing still saw from the other party's military flag that the other party was Qiu Te cavalry, because the color of the military flag was black, which was in line with Qiu Te's habit of being black, while the imperial military flag could only be yellow.
There were only about 500 Qiu Te cavalrymen, and they were lined up in two columns toward the east. Obviously, this was just a small rear-level army of Qiu Te people.
About ten miles ahead of this army, there was a group of Qiu Te cavalry with a larger number of people marching. Because the distance was too far, Jiang Hanqing could not estimate how many people there were.
Finally, Jiang Hanqing, who saw the troops behind Qiu Teren, couldn't help but be overjoyed. At this time, he had no time to take care of him and hurriedly led everyone to chase him.
At the same time, he did not forget to signal Chen Bin and asked him to take out the prepared white chess in advance and lift it up.
The marching speed of the Qiu Te cavalry in front was not fast. In less than three incense sticks, Jiang Hanqing and his party chased him to a place only one mile away from the other party.
At this time, the Qiute cavalry discovered several people catching up from behind.
A shouting sound, the Qiute cavalry stopped moving forward
The two columns originally arranged quickly spread to the left and right, forming a long impact formation
Fearing that the other party would misunderstand, Jiang Hanqing hurriedly waved his hand to slow down his progress.
Chen Bin didn't need Jiang Hanqing's reminder, and immediately raised the white flag in his hand and shook it hard, telling the other party that he had no hostility.
Jiang Hanqing and his party carefully rode their horses towards Qiu Teren.
The distance is getting closer and closer, and I have gradually seen Qiu Teren's costume clearly
This is a team of light cavalry, all wearing only black light armor, each with a set of bows and arrows hanging on its back. The scimitar used by the Qiute cavalry has been taken into his hands.
Seeing Jiang Hanqing and others approaching, all the Qiu Te cavalry did not move at all, just stopped the horse and stopped there.
Except for the occasional neighing of two horses, no sound is made
Since the distance is still far, Jiang Hanqing and others could not see Qiu Teren's facial expressions clearly, and could not guess Qiu Teren's true intentions.
When Jiang Hanqing and others walked about 500 steps away from Qiu Teren, a cavalry suddenly emerged from Qiu Te's cavalry group, and at the same time stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop moving forward towards Jiang Hanqing and his party.
Jiang Hanqing and his party did not dare to neglect and immediately stopped moving forward.
Chen Bin shook the white chess in his hand hard again, hoping that the other party would not misunderstand it.
The officer Qiu Te urged the horse to move forward a few more steps, then waved his hand
Behind him, all the Qiute cavalry immediately got into the sheath, and there was a choking sound
It seems that this guy is the leader of this team of Qiu Te cavalry, and he also seems to have seen that Jiang Hanqing and others have no malice, so he ordered his subordinates to take back their weapons. Seeing Qiu Te's actions, Jiang Hanqing felt relieved.
What made him feel lucky was that this guy was not like the extremely mindless barbarians in the legend of the Empire. He was not the kind of fool who would not ask the people who saw the Empire without asking for anything.
Jiang Hanqing pulled out his sword and handed it to Bai Yingjue, and whispered: You are waiting for me here! I went over and saw the soldier.
Without waiting for Bai Yingjue and others to say anything, Jiang Hanqing rode his horse forward and left the other people behind.
Seeing Jiang Hanqing handing the weapon on his body to the person next to him, the officer Qiu Te nodded and ran to Jiang Hanqing alone.
Jiang Hanqing soon met with the Qiu Teren, which happened to be near the midpoint of the two men.
Two people who are usually unrelated to each other, looking at each other curiously
The leader of the Qiute cavalry was wearing a very ordinary black soft leather armor, covered with dust left by the long-distance marching.
But there was a dazzling golden scimitar on his waist
Jiang Hanqing's eyes stayed on this special scimitar for a moment
He knew that according to the customs of the Qiute people, except for the cavalry officers who made great contributions on the battlefield, they could obtain and use gold swords and scabbards personally given by the emperor and use them, all other people were not allowed to use gold knives.
If a Qiu Teren wants to obtain the golden scabbard given by the emperor, it is not something that can be realized with ordinary small contributions. The winner must have made a wonderful honor that people dare not look up to.
For Qiu Te Ren, this gold sword can be said to be a symbol of honor and force
There are only a handful of people wearing golden swords in the country, and they are known as the invincible warrior in the army.
The people of the imperial people don’t know about the tradition of Qiu Te. When they see Qiu Te people wearing golden swords, they think that the other party is just a rich child.
Only aristocratic families like Jiang Hanqing understand how profound the meaning is.
But now the inconspicuous officer Qiu Te, who was standing in front of Jiang Hanqing, had such a gold scimitar on his waist. How could Jiang Hanqing not look at him with admiration?
At the same time, I also understood why Queen Qiute could choose him as the leader of the rear of the palace from thousands of good generals when the entire army retreated.
Jiang Hanqing raised his head and looked at the appearance of the cavalry officer who could get the golden sword given to Emperor Qiu Te.
The high nose bridge, the lips as tight as iron bars, the cheekbones are towering, the eye sockets are deep, the big eyes are sunken into the sockets, and the beards on the face are standing firmly and hard
This officer looks very ordinary, but gives people a shrewd impression. Moreover, he is not like most other Qiu Te men. The average Qiu Te looks will make people feel disgusted and disgusted from the bottom of their hearts at first glance.
Seeing Jiang Hanqing staring at him up and down, Officer Qiu Te did not show any displeasure at all.
What was beyond Jiang Hanqing's surprise was that this officer Qiu Te actually grinned at him.
Young Master, you worked hard to catch up with our army from behind, but I wonder what you need to do?
What emerged from Officer Qiute's mouth was the standard imperial official language
Listening to the other party speaking such standard imperial official language, Jiang Hanqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment
If it weren't for the golden scimitar on the other party's waist that reminded Jiang Hanqing of the other party's status in Qiu Te's army, he would almost think that the other party was an imperial officer.
May I ask the general Gao’s name?
Jiang Hanqing asked without answering
Officer Qiu Te in front of him laughed for a long time before saying: Looking at the young master, are you afraid that the official position under him is too small to be able to get a secret with Wen Shu?
Jiang Hanqing smiled silently and said: If anyone dares to doubt the status of the Golden Sword wearer in Qiu Te's army, this person must be a ignorant person!
Officer Qiu Te was stunned for a moment, then smiled proudly and said: I didn’t expect that the young master would know the origin of the golden sword in my Qiu Te army? Haha, the young master must be a very human! Since the young master is a wise man, I will open the skylight and speak out! The young master chased me from behind, but he did not intend to be an enemy of our army. He also understood the origin of the golden sword in my Qiu Te army. Where did the young master come from?
Jiang Hanqing smiled and said: Since the general asked, how dare you explain honestly? To be honest, I am a child of an imperial family, and I have always been dissatisfied with the current tyrant emperor. This time I came to find your army, just to help your army defeat the imperial army, so that we can make a difference in our country!
Officer Qiu Te seemed not to have thought Jiang Hanqing would be so frank. He looked him up and down for a while before asking: Did you meet an officer from our army a few days ago?
Jiang Hanqing was secretly happy when he heard this. He heard the meaning of this officer Qiu Te's words. Didn't Han Feilong really tell other Qiu Te's people what he wanted to surrender to?
If this is true, the next thing will be easier
Is the officer of the country mentioned by the general called Han Feilong?
Jiang Hanqing didn't dare to neglect her, and asked quickly
That young master was the one who spared his life mentioned by Han Feilong? Unexpectedly, what Han Feilong said was true! You are really here to surrender to our army!
Officer Qiu Te's words made Jiang Hanqing immediately understand that his guess was indeed correct.
Han Feilong really went back and told other people about his affairs.
Jiang Hanqing nodded repeatedly and said: Not bad! Not bad! I am the one who released Han Feilong! Has he been brought back to the general?
Officer Qiu Te looked at Jiang Hanqing with a squinted eyes and said: Do you know who Han Feilong is in our country?
Jiang Hanqing smiled and said: According to Han Feilong himself, he is the prince of your country's monarch and the queen's brother! I wonder if it is true?
Officer Qiu Te sneered and sighed: Han Feilong, this stupid pig, leaked his details to others so quickly! Alas! Her Majesty the Queen is so smart, why is her brother so stupid! Alas! Speaking of which, the late emperor is also a very smart person, how could he give birth to such an idiot son Ah! His slutty mother may really be a super fool!
After sighing for a while, Officer Qiu Te raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Hanqing for a long time, making his heart shudder.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Jiang Hanqing hurriedly asked: The general has not yet asked for advice...
The officer sneered and said, "Call your people here! Come with me! Don't ask other ones now, you will know later!"
After saying that, turn around and run toward your own team
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Hanqing had no choice but to turn around and greet the other people quickly.
After the officer ran back, he repeatedly called orders. Qiu Te's cavalry quickly started to complete the team, and soon he returned to the marching formation.
At this time, Bai Yingjue and others also came to Jiang Hanqing. When Jiang Hanqing saw that Qiu Te Ren had already started turning around and continued to walk east, he naturally did not dare to delay any further. He quickly took his subordinates to chase Qiu Te Cavalry Team
When several people from the Jiang family caught up with the Qiu Te cavalry, the Qiu Te cavalry immediately dodged left and right, emptying the road in the middle
Jiang Hanqing knew that they were giving way to him, so he led a group of people to urge his horse to run forward along the road vacant by the Qiu Te cavalry.
However, when they rushed to the middle of the Qiute cavalry team, they saw the Qiute cavalry whistle and then closed in the middle.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Hanqing and his seven men were surrounded by Qiu Te cavalry.
Jiang Wuxiong and Jiang Longxiang were shocked and wanted to grab Xiang's weapon. However, when he looked at Jiang Hanqing, he saw that he looked calm. He also saw that Qiu Te's cavalry had closed and did not move, but he just kept running eastward with everyone in his arms.
The two of them were relieved at this time, knowing that this was just a precautionary measure taken by the Qiute cavalry against them of unknown origin, not to say that they would immediately have any adverse actions.
Jiang Wuxiong, who was relieved, turned around and saw Qiu Te cavalry beside him staring at him. He thought it was fun for a moment, so he made a ghost face to the other party.
The Qiu Te cavalry who was staring at Jiang Wuxiong vigilantly did not expect that the other party was in the mood to make a face. He couldn't help but feel angry and turned around and turned to look forward and stopped looking at him anymore.
As for Jiang Hanqing, he had already figured it out. The officer Qiu Te just now would not believe in himself just now because of a few simple words or the idiotic narrative of Han Feilong.
The other party will definitely be careful of himself during the journey and explore his own details at the same time
You must deal with it well, and you cannot make the other party feel that you have any bad intentions and thus take any extreme actions that are unfavorable to you.
While Jiang Hanqing was thinking about everything, the previous officer slowed down from the front leader and slowly retreated. When Jiang Hanqing ran to the scene, he urged the horse and Jiang Hanqing to go side by side.
After running for a while, the officer Qiu Te started chatting with Jiang Hanqing in a mess. Is the young master really going to help our army? ... The young master is the noble surname? ... The young master... ...
Along the way, Officer Qiu Te kept asking various questions, all to explore the origin of Jiang Hanqing.
In order to gain the other party's trust, Jiang Hanqing did not hide his true identity, so he told the other party his origin and the true purpose of the trip.
The officer Qiu Te was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Hanqing telling his true identity so frankly, but he was no longer as suspicious as before, and even began to believe it slowly.
At the same time, his vigilance towards Jiang Hanqing was immediately reduced a lot, and he also proposed to escort him to see the queen and ask the queen to come and ask him to ask him in person.
When Jiang Hanqing mentioned asking him not to easily reveal his identity to others, he planned to do so.
This officer Qiu Te seemed to have basically believed his words, and he promised that he would never disclose it to the third person besides the queen.
During the chat along the way, Jiang Hanqing finally learned the origin of this officer
It turns out that this guy is named Han Zhengtian, a member of the royal family of Qiu Te Kingdom. He is the cousin of a former emperor of Qiu Te Kingdom and the peer of the current queen Han Yuexue.
Han Zhengtian is forty-one years old this year and is a famous general in Qiu Te's army.
Since the age of sixteen, he has made countless contributions
It was when he got the golden knife on him when he was twenty-six years old
It was also when fighting against the imperial army that Han Zhengtian commanded 8,000 Qiute cavalry to annihilate 30,000 elite heavy cavalry in the imperial world and became famous in one battle.
In ecstasy, Emperor Qiu Te pulled out the golden sword he wore in public and gave it to this nephew who made great achievements.
From then on, this golden sword became an item that Han Zhengtian never left for a moment
From Han Zhengtian's mouth, Jiang Hanqing knew that Han Zhengtian was one of the three commanders of Qiu Teguo before this invasion of the empire, and had a similar status as the emperor's uncle Han Xionglie and the grand master Wu Heyan.
Because he opposed Qiu Te's army's invasion of the empire, he was suppressed by Han Xionglie and Wu Heyan, and even Han Yuexue was not able to protect him obviously, so he had to cancel all his posts and stay in the army to listen to him.
In this war to invade the empire, Han Xionglie believed that he would win a great victory and was afraid that Han Zhengtian would seize the merits. Therefore, at the beginning, he tried to put Han Zhengtian in the rear army and prevent him from going to fight.
When Qiu Te's army retreated, Han Xionglie knew that he would not get much advantage this time, so he tried his best to recommend Han Zhengtian to command the rear of the hall in front of Han Yuexue. Han Yuexue was worried about the decisive battle with the imperial army and did not consider too much, so he agreed with Han Xionglie's suggestion and let Han Zhengtian command the rear of the hall.
Although Han Zhengtian felt that Han Xiong Lie would take the credit and avoid the difficulties, he was very angry, but after all, he felt that being able to fight was a good thing, so he agreed to serve as the rear of the palace.
Who knew that Han Xionglie was not dead? When Han Zhengtian took over the army, he found that there were only 5,000 light cavalrymen in the army. He knew that he had been cheated by Han Xionglie again.
Han Zhengtian almost burst into anger, but the emperor's order has already been put down and it is difficult to recover.
Now that things have come to this point, he has no choice but to do anything
Only by knocking off teeth and swallowing blood, I recognized it myself
In the past two days, Han Zhengtian commanded the troops in his hand to fall behind the army. He didn't dare to run fast if he wanted to run. He was afraid of surpassing the snails in front of him, and he was very annoyed.
Han Zhengtian always leads the way in war, charges ahead and retreats behind
Although this march felt very cowardly, it was no exception. Despite his opposition, Han Zhengtian insisted on walking with the last five hundred brothers.
This is why Jiang Hanqing was able to see Qiu Teren in the last small army
Although Han Zhengtian still retained a certain degree of caution towards Jiang Hanqing, once he talked about something related to Han Xionglie, he couldn't help but get angry. Unconsciously, he shook out all the words he was holding in his heart and said to Jiang Hanqing to listen to.
From Han Zhengtian's mouth, Jiang Hanqing immediately came up with a clue. It seems that the relationship between Qiu Teren's internal relationship is definitely not as harmonious and calm as he looks on the outside. Especially the emperor named Han Xionglie, he definitely does not sound like an ordinary person who is willing to be calm.
Jiang Hanqing knew in his heart that it seemed that his trip to Qiu Te would be more twists and turns
While chatting, Jiang Hanqing also carefully observed Qiu Te's cavalry for the first time so close.
This team of Qiute cavalry is a light cavalry
In the Imperial Army, heavy cavalry bears the frontal impact tasks during large corps operations, with sharp blades and thick armor, which is particularly valued; while light cavalry is mainly responsible for flanking attacks, covers, and daily patrols, and alerts
Therefore, in which aspect the status of heavy cavalry is higher than that of light cavalry
In Qiute's country, although the status of the heavy cavalry is not as large as that of the imperial army, the heavy cavalry is still more favored by superiors to a certain extent because of its stronger impact. For example, Emperor Qiute's personal guard, the Hu Ben Army, is a typical heavy cavalry team.
Therefore, soldiers with higher quality will be selected to be in the heavy cavalry team, and except for a few of the light cavalry, most of them are worse than those with better quality.
Observing the entire military quality of Qiu Teren from this team of light cavalry, although it can be seen from the leopard, it can also reflect its current situation.
The team of light cavalry in front of me was trapped after a long march, and it felt like it was covered with horses and was covered with tents.
Even so, when riding a horse, these Qiute cavalry still stood up straight and their bodies were as if they were stuck to the horse's back. The bumpy road was not very affected, which shows that the equestrian skills were excellent.
Everyone did not laugh casually along the way, making loud noises, keeping the marching formation neatly, and being disciplined
Compared with the current imperial cavalry, the situation of riding on horseback and falling on horseback is really incomparable.
Jiang Hanqing saw it, praised it in his heart, nodded secretly, thinking: Qiu Te's cavalry is indeed far better than the emperor's army! The empire is still complacent and thinks it is invincible to the emperor in the world, the emperor! Your doomsday is coming!
In the evening, the setting sun is like blood
The small Qiu Te cavalry unit that Jiang Hanqing followed was exhausted after a long journey.
The place they were walking through was a rare hilly area in the vast plains in the middle of the empire, with continuous ups and downs.
Han Zhengtian rode on the horse and looked around
There are small mountain bags everywhere you look, and my army that was not far away in front is blocked by the mountain and cannot see their specific location.
This kind of hill bun that occasionally appears in plains is not high, and generally speaking, it is impossible to hide any large army.
But after leading such a small team of tired soldiers, after a arduous march, the terrain was unfamiliar, Han Zhengtian couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Jiang Hanqing also knew in his heart that if he met a volunteer army composed of local people familiar with the terrain in such a hilly area, these five hundred Qiu Te people would not be able to deal with it.
Then, I will be able to get along with them, but I will be in trouble.
Jiang Hanqing asked Han Zhengtian worriedly: General Han, how far is the unit in front of your army from us? I guess it is about ten miles from the distance I saw on the plain in the afternoon?
Han Zhengtian looked at Jiang Hanqing uneasyly and said: Not bad! My other unit with more than 4,000 people is about ten miles away from us.
After a pause, Han Zhengtian cursed: Damn! What the hell is it in the plain area? But who would have thought that there would be such a bunch of small hills in the plain? Fuck! The group of pigs in front were also, and they didn't stop waiting for us even when they saw a mountain! They only knew that they were running forward with their heads down! Look, now there is no ghost shadow! Alas!
Looking around again uneasyly, Han Zhengtian waved his hand and shouted: Brothers, disperse the formation and be prepared for the surprise attack!
The tired Qiu Te cavalry were already drowsy, and some were already dozing off on the horse's back. At this moment, when he heard Han Zhengtian's roar, he woke up immediately, straightened his back, pulled out his scimitar and looked around.
Some people with some minds suddenly found that they had entered the hilly area, and were even more nervous and looked around vigilantly.
When they climbed over a mountain, they once saw the troops in front appearing on another mountain, but soon disappeared behind the mountain bag again
In this case, I climbed over two more hills and it was already dark, but I still haven't seen the troops in front stop and camp.
Jiang Hanqing was a little anxious and asked Han Zhengtian: General Han, when will your country's army usually camp?
Han Zhengtian looked at Tian and turned around and said: At this time, the rear army should have already set up camp. The other 4,000 people under my command might have already set up camp in front of me! But I guess it will take at least half an hour for us to catch up with them, and we can rest when we enter the camp! Damn, this ghost place is the same, how could such a small hill suddenly appear! It's so annoying!
Jiang Hanqing shook his head and said: It's Ah! If there is no such terrain in this way, if there is no one running on the plain for a day, it will be like this when it's dark. It's really a shaking death! Alas! How could the army forcefully march Ah after it's dark?
Han Zhengtian sighed and said: It's Ah! He should have stopped to camp before it was dark, but...ah... it's not just to drive more roads! Damn, he kept retreating without fighting! The morale of the soldiers is about to be discharged! Alas...
He sighed a long time, and Han Zhengtian said again: Even if you retreat, you should fight and retreat! You will retreat thousands of miles like now, it is true... Alas! In theory, Her Majesty the Queen should be very clear about these principles, why is this happening? I don’t know what Her Majesty the Queen thought?
While the two were talking, the team happened to pass through a ditch between the two hills.
As if to prove that the two people's worries were not redundant, there was a sudden shout of killing on the hills on both sides, and countless stones smashed down from the hills.
Jiang Hanqing smiled bitterly and said: General Han, it seems that we have encountered a local snake!
Han Zhengtian had no time to pay attention to him and was busy ordering his soldiers to call for help.
For a moment, the shrill sound of cow horns sounded in the valley, and the sound soared into the sky
Jiang Hanqing was still shouting: General Han, it seems that the other party is waiting to eat your tail to death!
Han Zhengtian was commanding his men to disperse his formation and prepare to fight. After hearing this, he turned his head and stared at him fiercely and said: Mr. Jiang, please stay here and don’t move around, otherwise the sword will be eyeless, so don’t blame me for being rude!
Jiang Hanqing sighed and said: General Han still can’t trust his brothers? Alas! No wonder the general!
Han Zhengtian ignored him and just ordered a dozen or so guards beside him and said: You should keep an eye on them, and if there is any abnormal movement, you will be executed immediately!
The guards responded with a loud promise and immediately surrounded Jiang Hanqing and others, staring at them with a gaze.
Seeing this, Bai Yingjue, who was standing next to Jiang Hanqing, turned around and looked at Jiang Hanqing, and at the same time, his hand slowly moved to the sword at his waist. Just wait for Jiang Hanqing to draw his sword and start his hand.
Jiang Hanqing glanced at her, shook her head and said: It's okay! Don't worry, let them be nervous!
Bai Yingjue nodded after hearing this, looked at Jiang Hanqing and smiled gently, and his hand left the hilt of the sword.
In this short time, Qiu Teren had been killed by more than ten stones flying down the mountain.
The soft leather armor they wore was not very protective when it was hit by a big stone.
The enemy on the mountain obviously had no intention of rushing down, but kept shouting and scolding on the top of the mountain and constantly throwing stones downwards.
For a moment, the Qiu Te cavalry had to run away in the ravine with their heads in their arms, and there was no other way
A personal guard beside Han Zhengtian shouted: General, let’s rush up! Now that we can only be beaten, it’s really not a solution! I don’t believe that we can’t beat them even if we rush up!
Han Zhengtian glared at the guy and angrily shouted: Fuck! Rush up to fill the trap for others! They clearly wait here to kill their tails, how could they be unprepared!
He raised his head and looked at the surrounding terrain. Han Zhengtian shouted: Brothers, go east! Break out of this ravine and climb the mountain to the east, and you will soon be able to meet with our own troops. The enemy will be defeated without attacking you! Brothers, act quickly! Be careful not to get separated!
With his order, Qiu Te's cavalry immediately rushed eastward
Jiang Hanqing and others followed closely behind him
While running, Jiang Hanqing clearly heard someone shouting on the mountain: Qiu Te barbarian fled eastward! Brothers, rush out and beat the fallen dog Ah! rush Ah!
In an instant, countless torches were lit on both sides of the mountains, and dense crowds rushed down from the mountains, one by one, one by one, holding a torch in one hand and a bright steel knife in the other.
While running in a hurry, Jiang Hanqing still did not forget to judge the number of these volunteers. He could not see how many people were in the dark night. It was only from the number of torches that there were at least several thousand people.
Jiang Hanqing couldn't help but secretly shocked and thought: In a small place, so many loyal and brave people can be accumulated, so the power of the people should not be underestimated!
Since these volunteers were all walking, the Qiute cavalry who rushed in front rushed out of the ravine before the volunteers rushed over and fled to the small hillside located on the east side of the ravine that they had previously selected
Jiang Hanqing and others followed Han Zhengtian and escaped from the ravine and rushed up the hillside.
The terrified people looked back and saw the bad luck of the team Qiu Te Ren falling behind!
There are about fifty people in the group of Qiute cavalry who fell behind.
Before they could run out of the ravine, the volunteers who rushed in front had already rushed down the bottom of the ditch and came to them. Although many people were killed by them, they blocked the way of the cavalry.
The large group of people who arrived continuously from behind quickly surrounded the Qiu Te cavalry team in the middle.
Under a crazy slash, Qiu Te cavalry was like a small lonely boat struggling on the sea in a storm. In a moment, they were swallowed up by the storm and could no longer see any trace.
At this time, everyone who fled to the hillside also completely saw the dress of these volunteers.
These volunteers are indeed ordinary farmers, and they have not even changed their clothes at all. Some people don’t even have decent weapons in their hands, just holding hoes and wooden sticks
After Han Zhengtian lowered his eyelids and killed the small team of Qiu Te cavalry, the volunteers shouted and vented their inner joy for victory
However, a sound of gongs came from the north mountain. The volunteers in the ravine quickly stopped the noise when they heard the gongs and began to pack up the battlefield in an orderly manner.
They held Qiu Teren's war horse, carried dozens of dead bodies left by Qiu Teren, packed up the weapons scattered on the ground, then put out the torches in their hands, and sank into the boundless darkness again
Jiang Hanqing and Han Zhengtian couldn't help but be stunned, surprised by the outstanding combat qualities shown by this volunteer army
Judging from their quick movements, they obviously have undergone rigorous combat training. Everything is so well-trained, not like an ordinary mob, and it is inconsistent with their poor equipment.
Seeing the Volunteers disappearing into the mountains again, Jiang Hanqing sighed and said to Bai Yingjue: It’s really not easy to be able to train this Volunteer Army Ah! I don’t know who this person is! It’s a pity, Ah, it’s a pity! Such a talent is hard to come by, I missed it like this... Alas!
Bai Yingjue gently comforted him: Qing, there are always talents! You don’t have to worry! Otherwise, if you think this is good, when we come back, we will come here to find out who this person can make you admire so much, okay?
Jiang Hanqing nodded and said: OK! If I forget then, you must remember to remind me! Do you know? This guy is really not simple. How much time and energy does it take to train such a large group of farmers to perform like this today? This person must have started training these farmers a long time ago! Alas! He is such a talent!
Just as Jiang Hanqing was sighing repeatedly, everyone heard a noise from behind the mountain, shouting, and horse hooves sounded.
The sound is getting louder and closer
The Qiu Te cavalry who had just fled the smuggling of the Volunteers immediately became nervous again. Look at me, I look at you, my heart is thumping.
Han Zhengtian listened nervously for a while, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxed significantly, turned his head and said to Jiang Hanqing: Okay! The people in front of us are turning around and reinforcements are coming!
After hearing this, Jiang Hanqing listened carefully and heard it, he heard from the other side of the mountain that Qiu Teren used to make remote contacts.
After a while, their team met with more than 4,000 Cavalrymen who turned back to reinforce, and the hearts of the crowd finally landed.
After reassembling the team, counting the number of people. The cowardly battle just now made more than 70 soldiers of Qiu Te no longer see tomorrow's sunrise.
Han Zhengtian didn't dare to move forward in the dark anymore. He found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ordered the whole team to camp.
At the same time, a fast horse was sent to report to the main force of Qiu Te's rear army in front, requiring the entire army to be on strict alert.
That night, the volunteers beat the gong and drums on the mountains on all sides.
Qiu Tejun is on shift night to prevent the volunteers from attacking
The volunteers also sent a small group of troops to approach the site of Qiu Tejun's camp, releasing cold arrows, and when Qiu Teren was about to go to war, they quickly withdrew.
After doing this a few times, Han Zhengtian ordered that except for the small number of people on the night, everyone else would rest. No matter how the enemy provoked, they would just stick to the camp and not attack at will.
The Volunteer Army sent troops over several times. Seeing that Qiu Te no longer paid attention to it, he did not send anyone to tease him anymore, but continued to beat drums and drums from other hills from afar
This bustling night made Qiu Teren unable to sleep at night. It was not until dawn the next day that the volunteers quietly withdrew.
Jiang Hanqing chatted with Han Zhengtian for the middle of the night, revealing all the purpose, ideas, opinions on the current situation, etc. of his trip, etc.
The most wonderful thing is that many of his views coincide with Han Zhengtian, which made Han Zhengtian sigh that he would regret that he would be late.
By the end of the conversation in the early morning, Han Zhengtian had completely believed in Jiang Hanqing and deeply admired his talents.
The next morning, everyone got up early and prepared to start a new day's march
After last night's turmoil, the Qiu Te cavalry, who had been very careful, dared not be careless today
Five thousand cavalrymen packed up early in the morning and rushed eastward
According to Han Zhengtian, their troops are the last troops at the rear of the hall and are already too far behind the front troops. It is really dangerous to continue like this. It is better to shorten the distance with the main troops.
Along the way, you can see the spies of the Volunteer Army looking around on the hills in the distance. The Qiu Te cavalry all looked nervous, holding scimitars in their hands, ready to deal with the sneak attack of the Volunteer Army at any time.
After walking for an hour, I suddenly saw the smoke and dust rising in the road ahead
Everyone is a common warrior on the battlefield. From the height of the smoke and dust, it should be a heavy cavalry unit.
Han Zhengtian frowned, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to quickly deploy defense, and murmured: I hope it is our reinforcement unit Ah!
A personal soldier next to him said: General, there will be a cavalry from Xia Kingdom here and there! It must be the troops sent by our rear army to reinforce!
Han Zhengtian nodded without saying anything and still had a serious expression
Jiang Hanqing said leisurely: It is probably difficult to find the heavy cavalry of Xia Kingdom nearby at this moment. This army should be your army! We are safe for the time being! Alas!... However, your army has penetrated more than 2,000 miles deep into the enemy territory, and in fact it is just a narrow area. It can be said that even this narrow area, you have not really controlled it. At this moment, the people and the remaining troops in the eastern part of the empire are constantly organizing, and using the familiar terrain to launch an attack on the army along the way. The situation is really not good! I think the empress of your country retreated east so quickly because of this reason!
Han Zhengtian looked at Jiang Hanqing, sighed and nodded and said: Alas! What the young master said is very Ah! Since the army was launched in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, it has been more than two months since our army won consecutive battles, but the empire is vast and has many talents. Our army really has no advantage! Judging from what happened last night, it is even more difficult to walk in the future!
As he spoke, the army from the east was getting closer and closer. From a distance, you could see the military flag flag raised high and walking at the front of the team. It was the heavy cavalry unit of Qiu Tejun.
Han Zhengtian's subordinates couldn't help but cheer in unison here.
When the two troops met, the leading general of the reinforcement troops came over and saluted Han Zhengtian: Tianshu, general Ha Mi came to report last night. After your urgent report reached the camp of the rear army, Commander U Heyan was very anxious. He ordered the general to order 10,000 heavy cavalry and 15,000 light cavalry to come west overnight. Reinforce Tianshu quickly and obey your command! Wushu also said that he would slow down the marching speed and wait for Tianshu to meet him!
After hearing him, Han Zhengtian nodded and smiled: Haha! Old Wu is still afraid that my bad life will be taken away by the barbarians of Xia Kingdom! Haha...
Jiang Hanqing knew that the Wu Heyan they mentioned was one of the three commanders Qiu Te who was as famous as Han Zhengtian and Han Xionglie, and was also the current commander of Qiu Te's rear army.
The night before, Jiang Hanqing once heard Han Zhengtian say that Wu Heyan and Han Zhengtian have always had a close relationship, but they don’t catch much colds about Han Xionglie.
Han Zhengtian asked the secret again and said: Have you ever seen bandits along the way?
Ha Mi nodded and said: There are small investors everywhere on the hills along the way, but the last one is in a hurry to reinforce Tianshuai, so he didn't pay much attention! Will you have to sweep along the way later?
Han Zhengtian shook his head and said: Forget it! It’s useless to sweep it. The small investors can’t find it by just drilling into the valley. I’ll waste my energy in vain. Anyway, we have 30,000 people now, and we will join forces together. These civilians will naturally escape when we see the wind and ignore them!
Now we have reorganized the troops, with 10,000 heavy cavalry in front, 20,000 light cavalry in back, and 30,000 people heading eastward
The small group of volunteers along the way did not dare to harass them when they saw their military appearances. They just shook flags and shouted on the hills in the distance.
When Qiu Te's army climbed the last mountain, about to leave this hilly area and enter the plains again, countless volunteers shouted from the hill behind him: Wu Sifei led the villagers to send Qiu Te's barbarians home! I wish you a good journey and annihilate the entire army! Oh...oh...haha...
When Jiang Hanqing heard this, he looked at Han Zhengtian who was next to him: It seems that Wu Sifei, the one who trained the volunteer army!
Han Zhengtian looked at Jiang Hanqing with interest and said: Not bad! It should be this guy! It is really not easy to train a group of civilian bandits like this! It seems that Young Master Jiang is advocating this person?
Jiang Hanqing smiled and said: It’s Ah! It’s easy to get a thousand troops, but it’s hard to get a general! When I return from your country, I must meet this guy named Wu Sifei!
In the afternoon of that day, the Qiu Te army followed by Jiang Hanqing finally caught up with Qiu Teguo's rear army.
Qiu Te's army had a total of 300,000 troops during this expedition, all of which were elite cavalry. It can be said that the elite troops from the whole country gathered here.
Among them, 100,000 heavy cavalry and 200,000 light cavalry
The entire army is divided into three front, middle and back
The commander of the former army, the emperor Han Xionglie, was appointed with 30,000 heavy cavalry and 50,000 light cavalry; the commander of the latter army, Wu Heyan, was under the jurisdiction of 30,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry; the commander of the central army, was personally appointed by the Empress Han Yuexue, and had 40,000 heavy cavalry and 120,000 light cavalry.
At this moment, all the 60,000 troops of Qiu Teguo's rear army gathered together. The lineup was prosperous, the people were strong, the horse was powerful, and it was spectacular.
A group of cavalry rushed over from afar
Among them, the old man wearing goose feather armor, tiger helmet, and a golden knife hanging around his waist. Although his cheeks were covered with white beards, he looked energetic.
Jiang Hanqing immediately understood that this old man was the famous Wu Heyan
Han Zhengtian hurriedly met
The two jumped off the horse, laughing and hugging each other tightly
After parting, Han Zhengtian said something to Wu Heyan. After a while, Wu Heyan's sharp eyes shot towards Jiang Hanqing.
Jiang Hanqing knew that Han Zhengtian was introducing his situation to Wu Heyan, so he smiled and nodded to Wu Heyan to show his friendship.
Wu Heyan also smiled and nodded in response. He looked quite easy-going.
After a while, Han Zhengtian brought Wu Heyan over.
Jiang Hanqing hurriedly jumped off his horse and went up to meet him
Before the Wu Heyan people arrived, laughter had already come. They arched Jiang Hanqingyao with a loud voice and said: Haha! I really didn’t expect that Young Master Jiang would come to the customs army! Lucky! Lucky!
I dare not! I dare not! I heard about the reputation of the general. I have seen him today. I am really lucky to see him for three lives! I hope the general will give you advice in the future!
Jiang Hanqing hurriedly bowed his hands and said politely
At this time, Wu Heyan had already walked closer, looked at Jiang Hanqing carefully, and said: Heroes are young Ah! Alas! The ancients said, first observe the appearance of people! I, an old man, never dreamed that there would be a young master in the world who was so handsome and casual! Haha!
Jiang Hanqing laughed and said: Haha! The Grand Marshal has been awarded too much! I am just a gold and jade, and the decay is among the most beautiful! It makes the Grand Marshal laugh!
Wu Heyan is still waiting for him to speak, Han Zhengtian said: Hey! Old Wu, Young Master Jiang! Are you both annoying? There are so many people waiting for you here, and everyone is still rushing east, but you are there politely making trouble! Everyone is from the army, be more cheerful!
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this
Jiang Hanqing and Wu Heyan couldn't help but smile, and urged each other again, no longer talking nonsense at the moment, and turned on their backs and continued to move forward.
As soon as he got on the road, Wu Heyan started to talk with Jiang Hanqing, and he talked nonsense in the southeast, west and north.
Wu Heyan soon discovered that the young master of the Jiang family in front of him was indeed full of all-encompassing things, astronomy, geography, marching and governing the country, and all aspects were quite accomplished.
Wu Heyan was impressed and turned around to Han Zhengtian: Brother Zhengtian, you were opposed to attacking Xia Kingdom. To be honest today, I was very unhappy with you at that time, but at this point, I saw such a heroic figure in my heart. I realized how powerful my eyes were! If Young Master Jiang commanded the imperial army, how could we go deep into Xia Kingdom so easily! Maybe we would have rolled up the bedding and went home long ago haha! Alas! The emperor of Xia Kingdom is really confused now, and I don’t know how to use Young Master Jiang as a talent, haha, but in this way, Young Master Jiang will be on our side. Speaking of which, we have to thank Emperor Wu Ming, haha!
Han Zhengtian and Jiang Hanqing couldn't help laughing when they heard his straightforward words.
This brings Jiang Hanqing and the two closer together
On the way, Wu Heyan introduced Jiang Hanqing the current situation facing Qiu Tejun
When Qiu Te's army retreated to the east this time, it started to be quite smooth, but gradually the commanders found that life was getting harder and harder.
The people in the empire, the reorganized local troops and even the remnants of the army began to launch harassing attacks on the Qiu Te army day after day
Although this attack has not caused much casualties to Qiute's army, it has had a very bad impact on Qiute's army's marching schedule.
And if this momentum continues, maybe the Qiute army will suffer a significant loss that day.
Due to the continuous harassment of the Imperial military and civilians, the small troops of Qiute's army are no longer afraid to leave the brigade too far away.
The scout released was even more tiny, afraid that he would be eaten by the Xia people if he accidentally did so.
U Heyan sighed: Now Her Majesty the Empress has found that the situation is critical and ordered the entire army to shrink its formation and retreat east at full speed! But it is not a solution to keep retreating like this! Maybe before returning to the country, the morale of the army will be completely disintegrated!
Han Zhengtian nodded and said: It's Ah! I'm worried about Ah too! I don't think we should rush to the Central Army and advise Your Majesty!
U Heyan glared at him and said: You want to die! Without His Majesty's order, you dare to leave your army and go to see you privately? The last time you obstructed the army from going to the expedition was not settled with you, so you still delivered it to your door by yourself? At that time, Han Xionglie will deduct you as soon as you face the enemy, abandon your subordinates, and disobey your orders. I see that you will die by sure!
Han Zhengtian was silent after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice: So, as you said, I am just staying here stupidly, and sitting there to see the morale of the soldiers gradually fading away?
Wu Heyan sighed and thought for a while and said: Her Majesty the Queen is a talented person, so she will naturally think of these issues and deal with them! How can you and I worry about it?
Han Zhengtian said anxiously: I am afraid that Her Majesty the Queen, the nobles are troublesome! As the saying goes, a wise man will lose everything if he wants to worry about it! When he really encounters a low morale, what should he do?
Jiang Hanqing said at this time: Why don't you... let the boy go to see Her Majesty the Queen of your country first and see if there is anything you can do to do your best?
Han Zhengtian and Wu Heyan were speechless for a moment. Look at me, I look at you
After a long time, Han Zhengtian Dao: There is really no way to do it, so I can only do this! Mr. Wu, look...
Wu Heyan pondered for a while and said: Since that's the case, I have to bother Young Master Jiang! My brother Zhengtian and I jointly wrote a letter to explain the origin of the young master to Her Majesty the Queen. I hope she can listen to your opinion. In addition, the Young Master will take my command arrow and I will send another team of cavalry to lead you. In this way, you can arrive at the central army and ask to see Her Majesty the Queen. Then you can meet Your Majesty, but you can only rely on the Young Master to adapt to the situation!
After hearing this, Han Zhengtian nodded in agreement with this approach.
No more nonsense at the moment. Several people immediately kicked off their horses and set up a simple table on the side of the road. Wu Heyan wrote a secret letter to Queen Qiu Te. After writing, he and Han Zhengtian signed the letter and sealed the wax and handed it to Jiang Hanqing
Jiang Hanqing took the letter and a command arrow from U Heyan. He led Bai Yingjue, Lin Fengxian and six others to leave the brigade and accelerate to the east to meet the famous Queen Qiu Te who had been heard for a long time.
The other ones were also sent by Wu Heyan to serve as a escort mission. The leading general was named Wu Li, who was Wu Heyan's nephew, which shows Wu Heyan's importance to Jiang Hanqing.
