Broken Realm.
The convoy of the Zhao State envoy walked leisurely. Although this was a lawless place, and there were so many horse bandits. But the horse bandits were not stupid. They looked at the thousands of escorting cavalry from a distance and the fluttering Zhao State.
The big flags just disappeared.
Zhao's cavalry is famous all over the world, and the horse bandits don't want to use their heads to test the strength of others' swords.
At this time, an army appeared in front of the mission, with bright uniforms and numerous flags, all with the Chinese character Jin written on them. The general guarding the mission saw this army horse from a distance, so he rode up to meet it and asked: "Who is in front of you?"
Blocking the road?"
Feng Lin rode out and said: "The last general is Feng Lin, the deputy general of the Western Jin Dynasty. I was ordered to wait here specially to escort the princess into the pass!"
The vanguard general returned to the driving station to report, and someone in the car said: "Let him come over and talk."
Feng Lin rode alone in front of the princess's chariot, dismounted and saluted. He did not dare to lack any etiquette. The person in front of him was not only Princess Ning of Zhao Kingdom, but also the younger sister of Concubine Yuan. Princess Zhao might not be able to do anything to him, but
Concubine Yuan could chop off ten of his heads with just one sentence.
"What boundary is here?"
"Back to Princess, we are still in Anzhao County and will soon enter Bianning County."
"Anzhao County..." The princess in the car read the place name several times, and then said: "Lead the way from the front."
Feng Lindao: "Horse bandits are prevalent in this area, and some horse bandits are quite powerful. I am going to use an elite force to guard your chariot to ensure everything is safe."
"I don't like people around my carriage. Don't block my view."
Now that the princess had spoken, Feng Lin did not dare to say anything more. He divided his troops into two parts, one part opened the way in front, and the other part paralleled the envoys a few miles to the side to block possible horse bandits from the west.
The girl in the carriage looked out the window, exclaimed, and said: "Those soldiers are actually well-trained. Doesn't it mean that the Western Jin Army, except for the northern frontier troops, is vulnerable? Oh, those who are leading us are not."
How's that?"
The old man yawned and said: "The Western Jin Dynasty is very big and there are many capable people. There are always people who want to do something. But his formation is a bit strange. I'm afraid he has other ideas."
The girl asked: "Will horse bandits really come to hijack the car soon?"
"Not only one, there are two groups."
The girl suddenly became excited: "Really? Can you let me take charge?"
The old man immediately shook his head: "The marching formation was just something I taught you privately for fun. If your sister knew you liked this, do you think how many days she would lock you up in Jindu?"
The girl sat back unwillingly and said: "I know! Aren't you just afraid of scaring the young men of Jin? I heard that all of them are very effeminate, and I really have no interest in them. Why don't you tell me about this?
Let’s make some arrangements next time! The horse bandits are coming soon, I can always know about it, right? If I know more, I won’t ruin my sister’s affairs.”
The beauty of the girl's face is rare in the world. She looks aggrieved at this moment, which makes people's hearts melt.
The old man sighed helplessly and said: "Your sister looked like you when she left the capital. Well, okay, let me tell you a few more words. In addition to gifts, we also brought something else with us this time. That one
Things cannot leave the ground and cannot move too fast, so they are traveling with our envoy."
"Ah, what kind of treasure is it?" The girl's eyes shone with curiosity, like a kitten seeing a ball of wool.
The old man laughed and said: "It's not a treasure, but a harmful thing. You can't look at it. Many people in the court know that we have brought this thing, and many people know that it will be given to King Jin. 1
Bandits who know how to use horses will come and snatch this thing from us, and then hand it over to the King of Jin."
The girl said: "I understand, King Jin doesn't want people to know that he has this thing, right?"
The old man nodded: "Not bad." "Isn't this a bit... trying to cover up?"
The old man smiled and said: "As long as there is no direct evidence that the thing is in the hands of King Jin."
"The horse bandit takes the blame?"
The old man chuckled.
The girl asked again: "Then why are there two groups of horse bandits?"
"The first group of horse bandits are not my own yet. I want to weigh his strength to see if he is worth wooing. If his strength is passable, I will give that thing to him. But if he can't stand it
Test, there is a second wave of horse bandits, they are our own people. They will take that thing away and hand it to King Jin."
The girl's curiosity aroused: "Who is the first wave of people? How are you planning to test him? Do you need me to take action?"
The old man smiled and said: "If our country, Zhao, is going to be destroyed, Princess Ning will have to take action herself? The horse bandit who came later is called Wei Yuan, the guy who set up the boundary stone in the west. As for my test, it is also very simple.
Living in troubled times, personal strength is as important as the way to gather a crowd. As long as he can take a blow from me with 30% of my Tao power, and there are still thirty Taoist monks in the tribe, he will pass."
The princess was surprised: "Your third Taoist power? Isn't that equivalent to the top Taoist monks in the late stages?"
"It's not that exaggerated. I'm getting old, and my cultivation has regressed a bit over the years. Thirty percent of my Tao power is the level of a perfect monk in the late Heavenly Stage. I won't embarrass him. As long as he can take it, he will pass."
"Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan..." The princess read the name and suddenly remembered something: "I seem to have seen his information. Didn't he become a Taoist priest for less than a year? Isn't it too much for your standards?
Bullying?!"
The old man said leisurely: "So as long as he can catch it, he will pass."
At this time, the ground shook slightly. Zhao's guard general, who had experienced battles for a long time, immediately stopped the convoy, and the cavalry gathered together in a guard formation.
A cloud of smoke began to appear in the distant sky, and a large group of horse bandits rolled in, their numbers were staggering.
Feng Lin also rode his horse back to the convoy. When he saw the large group of horse bandits appearing, he narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered the parallel troops on the west side to form and stand in place to stop the horse bandits.
General Zhao suddenly frowned. In his opinion, the best way was to withdraw these people and rely on the convoy to station, and then he would lead his own cavalry to support on the flanks. Now thousands of infantry were several miles away from the convoy, arrayed in the open area.
, there are no fortifications to stop the horses, no strong bows and crossbows, and there are not even a few Daoji captains. Facing the horse bandits like this, isn't it just asking for death?
These soldiers were all tall and strong, which made General Zhao who was used to leading soldiers very fond of seeing them. He couldn't bear to see them die like this. But these were not his soldiers, nor did they belong to Zhao.
Soldiers, so he couldn't say anything. He just hoped that the horse bandits who came were just a mob.
The billowing smoke in the distance is approaching quickly, and the appearance of the horse bandits can be seen clearly in the smoke. These horse bandits are well-equipped, riding high-quality horses, with hard crossbows hung on the sides of the horses, and there are many of them, about four to five thousand.
appearance.
General Zhao's face looked a little solemn. Are the horse bandits in the Broken Realm so elite? Even if they were placed in Zhao, they would be qualified to join the main cavalry army.
With a thousand cavalry under his command, General Zhao is not afraid of the thousands of horse bandits attacking, but it will be a tough battle.
Feng Lin was riding on his horse, looking at the surging horse bandits with a cruel smile on his face. He wanted to know what Yue Qilin's expression would be if he saw that the soldiers he had led died like this.
After a while, several knights appeared at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and then more and more knights walked out of the mist at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as he turned out of the foot of the mountain, Wei Yuan saw two troops fighting in the distance. He was a little surprised. He hadn't arrived yet, so why did they start fighting first?
