Chapter 53: Rescue
As Wu Kai said, Fufeng County suffered a great disaster this time, not to mention the villages outside the customs, and almost all the villages within the 50-mile distance between Curie customs and Fufeng County have already suffered disasters. In the middle, the enemy cavalry suddenly came, and the Fufeng people did not have time to respond, and they were already poisoned. As of today, they have been in the customs for two days.
"My lord, this time, they are aggressive. Unlike before, they only looted property and food. They also robbed people. Men, women, children, they robbed everything. If there is a little resistance, it is a knife. Right now, these villages are connected On the road outside the pass, there are all our people being escorted!" Zheng Xiaoyang burst into tears, "The villain is useless. When the enemy came, there were only twenty brothers by his side. In the past two days, more than ten brothers have gathered. One, the other brothers are all dead and dead. The villain does not dare to attack the opponent. It’s not that the villain is afraid of death, it’s really the villain’s hands, and it’s of no use except to send him to death!”
"How many people came from the East Hu people?" Gao Yuan interjected and asked.
Zheng Xiaoyang looked at the heroic Gao Hong next to Lu Hong, his eyes jumped, and in a blink of an eye he already wanted to understand who this person was: "Gao Bing Cao, the Donghu people are about three or four hundred cavalry, coming and going like the wind. , The first few villages were all devastated, even some villages near Fufeng got the news, but only some young and strong escaped, and others were taken away."
"Three or four hundred cavalry!" Gao Yuan twitched in his heart, if it was three or four hundred cavalry, with Fufeng's current strength, he really couldn't deal with it. He jumped in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, "Zheng Bingcao, what happened to Xiawa Village? Sample?"
"Xiawa Village is gone. Xiawa and Shangwa are just on the middle line. How could these Donghu people be spared?" Zheng Xiaoyang shook his head and said: "But it seems that the Donghu people will stop here, I will come back. When I arrived, I found that the Donghu people had already started to retreat."
Gao Yang suddenly turned around and strode down the city.
"Gao Yuan, where are you going?" Lu Hong shouted sharply.
"Uncle!" Gao Yuan Huo Di turned around, "My three subordinates just went to Xiawa Village yesterday, and I have to pick them up."
"Stop!" Lu Hong said angrily: "Now there are Donghu cavalry outside, you don't want to die!"
"Just now, Zheng Bingcao has said that these Donghu people have already begun to retreat."
"Gao Bing Cao, although they are retreating, they are going one by one, maybe there will be that group of cavalry still looting!" Zheng Xiaoyang interjected.
"It doesn't matter much. They are my brothers. Now they are in danger outside. I have to pick them up."
"Maybe they have already suffered an accident at this time. If they don't die, they will come back by themselves." Lu Hong said.
"Uncle, dead, I want to bring their bodies back, but I believe these brothers should still be alive, they are good, maybe they are just trapped there and need our rescue. Rescue soldiers!"
"You are not allowed to go. You are the soldier of the first team. The Donghu people may leave at any time. How can you leave your post without permission? All the soldiers of the first team are not allowed to go."
"Uncle, they are my brothers, whether they are still alive or not, if I don't go, I will have a hard time in my life. They are sent by me." Gao Yuan was not afraid of Lu Hong's anger, "Sun Xiao, come here. !"
"Bing Cao, what are your orders?"
"You are in charge of the first team in my absence."
"Bing Cao, I want to go with you to save Lao Cao!" Sun Xiao said loudly with his chest out.
Gao Yuan's eyes widened and he glanced at him, Sun Xiaoli then shrank back, "The villain obeys Cao's command!"
"Infantry, Yan Haibo, the two of you follow me out of the city to meet Lao Cao!" Gao Yuan called the names of the two and walked away in large strides. Yan Haibo and the infantry responded loudly, took a step from the queue, and saw The others who did not look at the scene followed Gao Yuan. This scene made the eyes of Lu Hong, Wu Kai and others jump.
After a long while, Wu Kai turned his head and looked at Lu Hong, "Lord Lu, Gao Yuan values love and justice, he is a man!"
"What kind of man, I don't know the severity, his brain is hot, he is impulsive, and he can't make much atmosphere!" Lu Hong said angrily.
Wu Kai turned his head, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that Gao Yuan had gone to the first team for less than two months, and he had polished this team of bad soldiers into such a team of elite soldiers, and besides him, who else would He didn't listen, even Lu Hong couldn't shout, Lao Lu actually said that he couldn't be charismatic. If such a person can't be charismatic, who can become charismatic? Lao Lu has grown up watching Gao Yuan since he was a child, and was blindfolded by his family. .
There were only two horses in the team, and Gao Yuan honestly and unceremoniously brought the war horse that was given to Lu Hong, and the three of them mounted the horse and left the city, all the way to Xiawa Village.
Gao Yuan was so anxious, the war horse was flying, the mud was flying, and after a while, he disappeared from the sight of everyone in the city.
After bypassing Nanshan and running for a few more miles, what was in front of Gao Yuan and the others was a miserable scene. The villages along the way had been turned into ruins, and dead corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground. Apart from these, It was a dead silence, and even a living person could not be seen. Occasionally, one or two dogs were seen, also hiding in the corner and shivering with their tails between their tails.
"Bing Cao, Cao Dutou, there are only three of them, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that there will be more luck than luck." Yan Haibo caught up with Gao Yuan and drove him along with him.
"They all have horses, but if they can't beat them, they can't escape!" The three of them were able to escape with their horses. In the past two months, Cao Tiancheng has become his important partner. The last thing Gao Yuan wants to see is that when he sees him again, he has become A cold corpse.
"Bing Cao, look!" Yan Haibo suddenly shouted, not far in front of them, there is a stream, beside the stream, there is a large water mill, and on the edge of the water mill, there are dozens of scattered A war horse, more than a dozen Donghu people are surrounding the water mill, shouting something loudly.
"It must be Lao Cao!" Gao Yuan shouted loudly, smashing the horse and rushing forward, "Infantry, arrow!"
The infantry didn't say a word, but took off the longbow from the back, put the arrow on the string, and the three of them ran towards the water mill like three lightning bolts.
The sound of the horse's hooves obviously also startled the Donghu people in the water mill. He got up and hurried to his horse.
"Gao Bing Cao, it's Gao Bing Cao!" In the water mill, above the water wheel blades of about ten meters, came a surprised shout, "Gao Bing Cao is here to save us!"
The people trapped in this water mill were Cao Tiancheng and two other soldiers. The three of them left the county town and returned to Xiawa Village. Before they reached their destination, the Donghu people had already arrived. Cao Tiancheng was shocked. , ignoring the dissuasion of the other two soldiers, and rushed all the way to Xiawa Village, but when he returned there, there was nothing left in the entire Xiawa Village, let alone people, not even a dog.
At this time, there were Donghu people all around them. The two soldiers managed to persuade Cao Tiancheng, who was devastated and furious, to stop them. At dawn, the three encountered two Donghu people who were alone. An angry Cao Tiancheng immediately smashed his horse, and with the assistance of the other two soldiers, killed one of them, but let the other escape.
But this time they stabbed the hornet's nest. Even if there were more than a dozen Donghu people riding horses and chasing them, fortunately, at this time, the Donghu people had already evacuated their booty with their trophies, and the Donghu who was behind There are very few people. Otherwise, the two of them will not be able to escape even with their wings.
The horse control skills of the three were far inferior to those of the Donghu people, and they were caught up by the Donghu people not long afterward. Several Donghu cavalrymen even went around a big bend and ran to the front to block themselves. Cao Tiancheng and the three had nowhere to go. Luckily The thing was that there was a water mill not far from them, and the three of them fled here, abandoned their horses and entered the water mill. They understood that if it was a horse fight, the three of them would have no chance at all.
They fled into the water mill, and the Donghu people also followed closely. They were very courageous. Although they were on the enemy's territory, they had not seen a single Dayan soldier coming over the past two days. Blocking it, an army stationed by the enemy at Curie Pass was so frightened that it didn't dare to take a risk, but only lit the wolf smoke at the pass, but in such a big wind and snow day, how high the wolf smoke can rise is a problem.
They didn't pay attention to the Yan people at all, and they didn't believe that any Yan people would dare to stop them.
These three people killed their companions, and they decided to capture the three alive, and then slowly kill them after humiliating them well, killing them with one knife, obviously it was cheap for them.
The three of Cao Tiancheng relied on the water mill to deal with their opponents. Knowing that they were defeated, they could only hold on. The last hope was that someone would rescue them, otherwise, with their abilities, they would be captured by the enemy sooner or later.
It was also because of their fate that the Donghu people wanted to capture them alive, which gave them precious time to delay, and made Gao Yuan rush over. The Donghu people heard the hurried sound of horses' hooves, and at first they thought it was their partner who was left behind. When he saw the clothes on the person on the other side, he realized that he panicked and wanted to mount a horse to fight, but the three of Gao Yuan rushed like arrows from the string, but there was still time. , the sound of whoosh sounded endlessly, the first arrow shot down a Donghu man who was about to fight back with a bow, and the other two arrows missed, but they scared the other Donghu people, and when they dodged, Gao Yuan was already The horse took the lead and rushed over.
