Just as the war in Changshui County was getting intense, a Jinyiwei messenger rode a war horse and rushed towards Sangzhou. Behind the Jinyiwei was a small group of Beidi Rangers composed of thirty people.
The messenger was covered in bruises, with half an arrow stuck in his shoulder. Before this, he had escaped countless pursuits and interceptions by Beidi soldiers, and had fought many deadly battles with his pursuers. At this moment, he was still alive. Like a miracle!
The messenger rushed all the way from the direction of the royal capital. At this time, it was less than fifty miles away from the boundary of Sangzhou. However, this short fifty miles was like an insurmountable chasm for the messenger.
Due to exhaustion and excessive blood loss, the messenger's head was dizzy. He almost relied on his iron will to hold on to the reins to avoid being thrown off by the jolting horse. At the same time, the messenger could clearly feel that the physical strength of the war horse under his crotch had reached its limit. Fifty miles, if you jog, you can naturally cross it, but under the desperate running at full speed, the war horse can only last for half a stick of incense.
The messenger was desperate, but recalling that the messenger who rushed out from the direction of the royal capital was chased and intercepted, he was not sure whether anyone was still alive. What if he was the only one left, and if he was hunted by the pursuers, then Qin Hou's important military report will definitely be blocked. By then, Changshui County and Qin Hou will be in a desperate situation.
Even with only one breath left, the messenger still gritted his teeth and persisted, unwilling to give up.
Unfortunately, the messenger has already taken wings and cannot escape.
Because he was bitten by the pursuers, the messenger had no time to change his horse, so he had no choice but to run away. Once the pursuers were tired of chasing, they could immediately go to nearby counties in batches to change horses, replenish their strength, or simply let other cavalry Take over for yourself and continue chasing the messenger.
After all, as long as the approximate direction of the messenger's escape is determined, relying on the speed of the Qingqi, he can quickly catch up with the messenger.
At this moment, the thirty rangers had already caught up within the shooting range, and arrows were being fired towards the messenger.
The messenger felt that arrows were constantly flying over his head. He could only lie on the horse, praying in his heart that these arrows must not hit the horse. At this time, the horse was close to exhaustion and relied on the last If you hold on for dear life, once you are hit by an arrow, the severe pain will definitely cause your horse to become discouraged.
At that time, the war horse will either fall to the ground or stop directly, letting the messenger break his whip without taking another step.
Fortunately, the enemy's quick pursuit was inaccurate, and they were far enough away. Even though the enemy had run out of arrows, they failed to hit the messenger or the horse.
But the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, to less than a hundred steps, and there were even shouts of pursuers behind them.
"The soldiers at the front are spies from the Imperial Guard?"
"You are Qin Feng's confidant, and you must have secrets. If you are willing to surrender, you will undoubtedly make great achievements, and you will surely enjoy endless wealth for the rest of your life!"
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, why should he sacrifice his life for Qin Feng?"
"You can't escape anymore, why don't you stop and surrender!"
"Damn it, just run away, don't get caught by me, otherwise you won't be able to survive or die!"
Facing the coercion and inducement of the pursuers, the messenger simply ignored it and continued to flee forward. As a member of the Jin Yiwei, he knew very well what would happen if he fell into the hands of the enemy. Even if these pursuers made ridiculous claims, as long as he stopped , what awaits him will be unimaginable torture.
The enemy will use all means to pry open his mouth and force him to reveal all the secrets he knows. They will not kill him until he loses his value.
Therefore, when bitten by the pursuers, the messenger was already prepared to kill himself. He was always ready to pull out the short knife from his waist and plunge it into his chest.
He ran another five miles in one breath and was one step closer to the boundary of Sangzhou. But at this moment, the horse suddenly let out a mournful cry.
Before the messenger could react, the war horse fell down and the messenger was thrown out.
The war horse was not attacked by the enemy, but ran at high intensity for a long time, resulting in exhaustion, hyperthermia, and sudden death on the spot.
The messenger was knocked unconscious and had stars in his eyes. He tightly protected the military newspaper in his arms and continued to crawl toward Sangzhou with his willpower. Unfortunately, he was surrounded by pursuers in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the courier who was unable to escape, thirty rangers circled around the cavalry. The leader of the group, the tooth general, picked up his whip and hit the courier hard.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the clothes on the courier's back exploded, and the skin and flesh were torn apart together. Blood spurted out instantly, but the courier made no sound and continued to climb forward.
Only then did the enemy general realize that the Jin Yiwei messenger in front of him had already exhausted his strength and his whole body was numb. Not to mention splitting his skin and flesh with a whip, even if his head was cut off with a blunt knife, he would not let out any screams.
General Ya stared at the messenger and couldn't help but sigh: "Why don't I, General Dadi, have such willpower? What the hell did Qin Feng do to train his soldiers? How can they be soldiers? They are clearly puppets. !”
General Ya couldn't understand why the Jinyi Guards and the Tianji Camp guards would be so loyal to Qin Feng. Even if they were reduced to this situation, they would still rely on instinct to continue carrying out their missions.
The tooth general knew very well that if he wanted to pry open such a hard-boned mouth, he must first be cured and then slowly destroyed. This would undoubtedly take a lot of effort and be too troublesome.
The Yajiang's mission had been completed. He stopped nagging, turned over and dismounted, raised his sword, and struck the messenger on the back of the neck, causing blood to fly several steps away.
Then he tore open the courier's clothes, checked them carefully, and took out two military reports.
One is a troop deployment order sent to Xiongying Ridge, and the other is a strategic secret letter sent to Liang Guo.
Intercepting a confidential military report of this level was undoubtedly an extraordinary achievement. General Ya was trembling with excitement. He quickly stuffed the confidential information into his arms and returned to the camp with a group of brothers to claim the credit.
And massacres like this are happening in more than a dozen areas at the same time!
Not to mention the royal capital and Zhuozhou, the entire Beidi has entered a state of war. Although the weather is extremely bad and it is impossible to mobilize the troops from various places, if it is just to pass the order, the military order has already covered the jurisdictions of various regions. On a county basis, all regions have entered martial law. State, strictly guard against death, and all spies under Qin Feng's command will be killed.
How difficult is it for an order from Changshui County to be sent across half of Beidi to Sangzhou?
There were only four messengers sent by Changshui County, but the number subsequently expanded after the order was conveyed to various messenger nodes.
