Chapter 2148: The crisis of the Guizi scroll going sou

  Chapter 2148 Guizi Juan goes south to the crisis, the blade hits the ribs

  Feng Ziying didn't know the situation of Xue Baoqin and the others in Linfen. In his opinion, Xue Baoqin and the others should have entered Shaanxi a long time ago, and they should have passed through Puzhou or even Tongguan at this time.

  Because counting the time, they should have passed Linfen long ago.

Xue Baoqin and the others sent a letter to Feng Ziying when they set off from Datong to the south. That's right.

  Who would have thought that they would stay in Linfen for so long.

  Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang didn't dare to act rashly because they didn't know about the military activities in the southern counties of Pingyang Prefecture.

When he stayed in Linfen for a few days, Duan Xipeng also sent someone to send a letter to Feng Ziying, but at that time he thought that he would not stay in Linfen for too long. Thinking that the situation is getting more and more chaotic, wars are raging all over the banks of the Yellow River, and the time has been delayed again and again, until now.

  I sent someone to deliver the letter a few days before I finally left Linfen. At this time, I had not arrived in Wubao, and Feng Ziying was not in Wubao at this time, but was preparing to go south to Xi'an in Fushi.

  So in this kind of erroneous situation, Feng Ziying never expected that Baoqin and the others were still staggering southward in Pingyang Prefecture, and were stepping into the tiger's mouth step by step.

Although Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang were nervous, they had been in the frontier army anyway. Some of the soldiers under their command had served in the frontier army, some had also served in the guard army, and a few of them had not served in the army. However, he is also a character who has practiced archery since he was a child, and is not afraid of confronting the chaos.

But after all, this manpower is only about one hundred or two hundred people. Duan Xipeng is not afraid of three or five hundred rebellious troops, but if there are thousands of rebellious troops, and it is in an unfamiliar area like southern Shanxi, it is hard to say. .

  Going down the Fen River, Duan Xipeng's mood became worse and worse.

  He sent multiple groups of scouts and sentries in order to grasp the situation of surrounding enemies in the most timely manner.

   "Sir, do you want to cross the river? We need to cross the river ahead."

   A group of people walked along the Fen River. The Fen River has been diverted to the west, and the group of them will continue to go south until they reach Weishui here. A soldier came to ask.

   "Is the river deep? Is there a ferry around?" Duan Xipeng sat on the horse and looked around.

   Here is Jiangzhou to the west, and Quwo to the east. The post road crosses the Weishui River from here to Wenxi, but it is about 50 miles away from Wenxi.

"The river is not deep, it's about waist high, and the deepest is only in the chest. The brothers can pass, but the carriage can't." The soldier was a little embarrassed, "There is no boat on the ferry. Because the situation is not good, I hid it."

  Duan Xipeng didn't speak for a while, just looked at the river surface, concentrating on thinking.

The surface of the river is actually only twenty feet, and the water volume is not large. The Weishui River originates from Wuling Mountain in Yicheng County, and another tributary flows from Dajiao Town in the northeast of Jiang County to Jixi Confluence, which originates from Zijinshan Road. After entering the water, the water volume will increase.

  However, the drought for several consecutive years, although the situation in Shanxi is much better than that in Shaanxi, it still makes these rivers that should have surged in the wet season look like a dry season.

  Without a boat, the carriage cannot pass, and without a carriage, how can the female relatives go?

   "Go and look along the river bank. If there is a ferry boat, please pay more for the boat. You must cross the river." Duan Xipeng collected himself, "Are Zhang Laosi and the others back?"

   "Not yet, they should have crossed the river." The soldier replied: "The terrain in this area is a bit complicated. There is Zijin Mountain in the southeast, and Dong Zebei is more than ten miles to the south. The vegetation is lush. It is said..."

  Duan Xipeng's eyes narrowed, "What did you say?"

"It is said that it is a hiding place for bandits, but because the rebellious army is rampant in the west, many bandits have gone to join the rebel army, so I don't know if there are any bandits in Dong Zebei." The soldiers obviously have done some research on the situation in this area. understand.

Of course, Duan Xipeng knows better that Dong Zebei is actually a lake with a radius of tens of miles. Because of the drought in recent years, it has become a wetland similar to a swamp, surrounded by willows, such as willows, dustpan willows, and red skinned willows. Trees and shrubs such as willows that grow near water are good places for bandits to hide in and out.

"Don't be careless, arrange a group of people to investigate." Duan Xipeng shook his head, "Go find the ferry as soon as possible, we have to cross the river as soon as possible, I always feel that Zhang Laosi hasn't come back after going out for so long, some Not a good feeling."

  The Zhang Laosi mentioned by Duan Xipeng was running along the Weishui River with another scout at this time. He was hit by an arrow on his left shoulder, and he only had time to break the arrow and let the arrow stick into the flesh.

"Wang Hu, how far is it?" Wiping the sweat that seeped into the eye sockets, Zhang Laosi gritted his teeth and turned slightly sideways, bowing his bow, forming a strange arc with the saddle, allowing his body to almost It was about to be parallel to the horse's belly, so he put an arrow on the bowstring, took a deep breath, and exhaled loudly, "Boom!"

In a flash of light, one of the two fast horses that were chasing at the forefront suddenly curled up behind the horse's neck, and at the same time pulled the reins abruptly. And a man who followed was not so lucky, and just caught the arrow.

Almost before he even had time to snort, an arrow hit his chest, piercing through the side of a crooked breastplate, and the horse was also stunned by this sharp blow, and the man had already rolled off the horse , one foot was even hanging on the stirrup, and was dragged on the ground by the healthy horse, bringing yellow dust all the way.

"Lao Yangpi!" At that moment, the man's beard was swollen, and he was about to burst into tears, but he knew at a glance that Lao Yangpi was hopeless. This kind of arrow pierced his body, and his chest and abdomen were vital, and what's more, he fell off the horse and was dragged by the horse. After being thrown so far, King Kong's indestructible body could not withstand such a toss, half of the head was **** and bloody, but there was no sound, obviously dead.

This arrow was so vicious that he didn't even see clearly where the other side was shooting the arrow from. He just felt something shaking in front of him out of the corner of his eye. Passed the fatal blow.

   But it also made him feel chilly. A guy who didn't know where he got out actually has such amazing skills. If the officers and soldiers are of this level, this battle is a fart!

Zhang Laosi succeeded with one arrow, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but this arrow basically made him lose his strength to fight again. His shoulder was bleeding profusely, and he could hardly lift it. He only wanted this arrow now It can make the chasing soldiers feel timid, and they dare not bite the two of them so tightly.

"Fourth brother, there are still ten miles to go!" Wang Hu, who was urging his horse to run wildly, shrank his neck and said, not even daring to turn his head: "As long as you go around this beam in front, you can almost see your lord. Twenty people will be serving food!"

"Fuck you! Can we delay until that time?" Zhang Laosi gritted his teeth in hatred, his companion's archery skills are too bad, and he also said that he was born as a hunter. Damn, besides standing still on the ground, he can shoot a few arrows Decent, on a horse, especially on this kind of galloping horseback, it is simply a dish.

Seeing the two people in front rushing all the way at unabated speed, followed by the dozens of riders who were followed by such a delay, and then pulled down dozens of steps, the bearded man was afraid that it would be difficult to catch up, and in this group of people except himself, the jujube It's okay, the others are ordinary horseback riding, such a long-distance pursuit is already a bit too much, but the two fleeing horsemen in front did not show any signs of fatigue at all.

  He wasn't sure what the final result would be if he went up alone, either he was shot or killed by himself.

  But the former is definitely more likely, he is not willing to trade his life for such illusory credit, it is not worth it.

   More than ten riders slowed down and watched the two disappear from sight. Although they didn't know the identity of the enemy, if they were scouts from the army, it would be troublesome.

   "Are you still chasing or not?" Everyone gathered around, "That guy is very good at archery, but if you listen to the bowstring and look at it, you have already hit the arrow."

   "It's not like a member of the official army. There can't be such a master here in Pingyang Mansion. The guards have all been withdrawn. It looks like a private army, but where did the private army come from?"

   "Could it be from Shanxi Town? It came so fast?"

Everyone chatted, and the bearded man shook his head: "It doesn't matter where he came from, but now his whereabouts have been revealed, which means that there are enemies around, we need to be more vigilant, let's go back first, and then ask around Let's see if there are any officers and soldiers showing up. Jiangzhou has been defeated. I don't know where the guards in Jiangzhou city come from. They are either Pingyang Guards or Puzhou Institute, but they are not many in number, so we shouldn't be so persistent. .”

Jiangzhou fell, and it fell just an hour ago. The reason why Zhang Laosi was so eager to rush back to tell Duan Xipeng that once Jiangzhou fell, this post road would be in danger, and the rebel army only needed to go further east. , this post road running through the north and south is about to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Moreover, Jiangzhou fell, and the Yi clan might not be able to protect it. If you delay it for a while, your army will not be able to go south. If there are no female relatives, then you can do whatever you want. It's okay, everyone don't want to live.

   Must go south quickly, Zhang Laosi had this in mind, so he ran all the way.

Before Duan Xipeng got the news from Zhang Laosi, he had already got the news from Long Jinwei. Two days ago, the Yi clan fell, and now the rebel army has approached this post road. Wenxi and Anyi county towns have already appeared The enemy scouted the horse.

   Now the news that Zhang Lao Si came back made Duan Xipeng feel even more depressed, and finally came, what should I do?
