Three days later, Qian Ertong and Nie Lei took the lead in bringing some of the food, grass and supplies of the border guards, preparing to settle in a distant city.
Before setting off, Qin Rushuang called Qian Ertong over.
"Thank you for your hard work on this trip. If you need help with anything, don't be embarrassed. Just tell Nie Lei and he will help you."
Qian Ertong nodded: "Miss, I understand."
The logistics troops led by Qian Ertong and Nie Lei set off first. The heavy city gate at the border was opened, and about three thousand logistics troops escorted a large amount of supplies in one direction.
Qin Rushuang didn't look back until the supplies were no longer visible.
She got up and returned to the camp.
She and Xie Xun had to lead a large group of soldiers and horses, so they planned to take action in five days.
The soldiers must be given time to prepare.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
The city Qin Rushuang went to was the closest to the border.
This time she took You Shao with her and nearly 40% of the border guards, preparing to settle down in that city.
Xie Xun also brought about 40% of the border guards and prepared to settle in the nearby city.
The remaining 20% were guarded in the original border guard barracks, waiting for the final finishing work.
Qin Rushuang gave an order, and the soldiers set off in a mighty manner.
It would have taken half a day to go from the original military camp to the new city by horseback, but because there were so many people setting out and they were walking, the migration of the soldiers lasted two days.
On the second evening after Qin Rushuang set out, the border guards finally arrived at the city gate in great force.
There was no sound at all in the city, and the city gates were just wide open. It seemed that Dayan's garrison had already withdrawn.
You Shao glanced at the wide-open city gate, turned around and asked Qin Rushuang what he meant, "General, it's getting dark, do you want to order the soldiers to go into the city to reorganize?"
Qin Rushuang nodded slightly, "Then go in."
The large army was preparing to set off when suddenly there was a commotion behind the army.
"Who are that small group of people?"
"Alert! Alert! Is it Dayan's army?"
"No! No! That's...that's!"
"That's General Nie Lei!"
"Come quickly! The visitor, General Nie Lei, is injured!"
Qin Rushuang turned around sharply.
Nie Lei should be in the farthest city with Qian Ertong at this time. How could he appear here and be injured?!
Nie Lei was riding a fast horse with wounds of various sizes on his body. When he saw the large troops of the border guards, he breathed a sigh of relief and fell off the horse without raising his strength.
Someone from the border guards immediately surrounded them, but Qin Rushuang stopped everyone from entering the city and walked over.
Nie Lei was seriously injured.
There were stab wounds and burns on his body.
When he saw Qin Rushuang coming, he used up his last bit of strength to finally tell the information that he wanted to bring out at all costs.
"Princess, please don't enter the city. There is a scam in the city. Qian Ertong... Qian Ertong is trapped in the city and is in danger!"
After saying that, he could no longer hold on to his injuries, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
After Qin Rushuang heard this, her heart tightened.
The team escorting the grain and grass this time was less than 3,000 people. The number of people who escorted Nie Lei here was more than 500. Including the damage and so on, there were probably less than 2,000 people staying with Qian Ertong in the city.
people!
If we really encounter any danger, what can we do with two thousand?
Qin Rushuang's first reaction was to count the men and horses and quickly rush to the third city.
Save people! Must save people!
She left 10% of the border guards to surround the city and ordered not to act rashly until she returned.
He took the remaining three men and rushed towards the city where Qian Ertong was trapped.
As she galloped away, regret flashed through Qin Rushuang's heart.
She was too careless. She shouldn't have sent only so many people to follow Qian Ertong!
She should have thought why King Yan could talk so easily this time?!
The eldest prince he loved most died, and he turned around and ceded three cities to others. If he thought about it, he had already recorded all the hatred in his heart on Da Qi's head. How could he obediently give up the three cities to others?
But now that regretting was of no use, Qin Rushuang could only hurry up and rush to the city where Qian Ertong was as fast as possible.
When we passed the city where Xie Xun was going, the large army led by Xie Xun had not yet arrived at the city.
Qin Rushuang left a few soldiers waiting outside the city, and when Xie Xun arrived, he immediately sent a message to Xie Xun: Do not enter the city easily, and do not act rashly.
Shortly after Qin Rushuang left with the large army, Xie Xun's people arrived.
After listening to the soldier's message, Xie Xun did not hesitate and followed Qin Rushuang to the city where Qian Ertong was trapped.
After a long time, Qin Rushuang changed two horses and finally led some of the cavalry to the outskirts of the city.
Because Nie Lei fainted after telling her that Qian Ertong was in danger, Qin Rushuang did not get more information.
She led people outside the city gate. Unexpectedly, there were no soldiers from Dayan outside the city, and the city gate was tightly closed.
Qin Rushuang was about to lead people to force open the city gate when a voice suddenly came from above the city wall.
"General of Da Qi! If you still want your people to survive, then withdraw immediately with your troops and horses, and never step into my country, Dayan!"
Qin Rushuang raised his head.
On top of the city wall, Qian Ertong was tied up with many flowers, and his exposed skin suffered a lot of injuries. He lowered his head and seemed to have passed out.
Two tall men beside him were pressing him down, with a sharp blade pressed tightly against Qian Ertong's neck.
However, what surprised Qin Rushuang even more was that these two people turned out to be two women!
"Let my men go! I will leave a place of residence in the city for the people of Dayan. I can promise you that the people of Dayan can enjoy the same legal protection as the people of Dayan, and you can live in the city.
In life, you will not be bullied, otherwise..."
"Hahahahahaha!!" However, one of the women laughed crazily after hearing Qin Rushuang's words.
"Live a good life? You put it lightly! Our father and our men all died at the hands of Daqi soldiers. Now I am the only one left in the family. How can I live a good life?"
"I have no family, no land, no place to live, and now even the Kingdom of Yan doesn't want me! Why don't you tell me how I can live a good life?!"
As soon as she spoke, Qin Rushuang immediately understood the identities of these people.
She was careless, she didn't expect King Yan to use such a vicious method!
These women and old people who stay in the city are not ordinary Dayan people!
They should probably be women who lost their husbands and family members in the war!
Qin Rushuang knows only too well how crazy a woman in despair can be.
But at that time, there were at least 3,000 soldiers escorting the food and grass, and they had sent people to see that there were not many residents left in the city. How could the soldiers lose so miserably against ordinary women?
As if to verify Qin Rushuang's idea, Qian Ertong, who was tied up by Wuhuada, regained a trace of his clarity.
When he saw Qin Rushuang outside the city gate, he was very anxious and opened his mouth to say something, but the woman beside him suddenly covered his mouth.
"If you want to save this man under your command, then come to the city in person! If the conditions you give are suitable, we can also consider letting him go."
You Shao immediately said to Qin Rushuang, "General, no! There must be fraud in this matter."
Qin Rushuang didn't know that these people must have a plan that she didn't know about, but Qian Ertong was in their hands...
Even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, she has to break through!
