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 long ago. They should have passed Puzhou or even Tongguan by this time.
Because in terms of time, they should have passed Linfen long ago.
When Xue Baoqin and others set off south from Datong, they sent a letter to Feng Ziying. At that time, Feng Ziying planned when to cross Taiyuan, when to arrive at Linfen, and when to arrive at Puzhou. No matter how slow the speed was, he should have passed Tongguan at this time. That's right.
Who would have thought that they would stay in Linfen for so long.
Because they did not know the status of the rebel activities in the counties south of Pingyang Prefecture, Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang did not dare to act rashly. They both wanted to find out the situation clearly before leaving, so time was delayed.
When he visited Linfen for a few days, Duan Xipeng also sent someone to deliver a letter to Feng Ziying, but at that time he felt that he would not stay in Linfen for too long. It was expected that he would go south in three to five days or no more than ten days at the longest, but Unexpectedly, the situation became increasingly chaotic, and wars broke out along the Yellow River. Time has been delayed again and again, until now.
A few days before finally leaving Linfen, I sent someone to deliver a message. At this time, I had not arrived at Wubao, and Feng Ziying was no longer in Wubao at this time, but in Fushi, preparing to go south to Xi'an.
Therefore, under such a strange situation, Feng Ziying had no idea that Baoqin and the others were still staggering southward in Pingyang Mansion, and were stepping into the tiger's mouth step by step.
Although Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang were nervous, they had been in the border army at least. Some of their soldiers had served in the border army, some had also served in the guard army, and a few had not served in the army. Yes, but he is also a character who has been practicing archery and horse fighting since he was a child, and is not afraid of fighting against the rebels.
But after all, this manpower only has more than a hundred or two hundred people. Duan Xipeng is not afraid of the usual three to five hundred rebels, but if there are thousands of rebels, and it is in unfamiliar areas like southern Shanxi, it is hard to say. .
Going south along the Fenhe River, Duan Xipeng's mood became worse and worse.
He sent out multiple groups of scouts in order to grasp the surrounding enemy situation in the most timely manner.
"Sir, do you want to cross the river? You need to cross the Hushui River first."
A group of people were walking along the Fen River. The Fen River had changed its course to the west, and the group of them would continue to go south to collect water here. A soldier came to ask.
"Is the river deep? Is there a ferry around?" Duan Xipeng sat on his horse and looked around.
To the west is Jiangzhou and to the east is Quwo. The post road crosses Huishui from here and leads to Wenxi, but it is still about fifty miles away from Wenxi.
"The river is not deep, about waist high, and the deepest is only at the chest. Brothers can get across, but the carriage cannot." The soldier was a little confused, "There is no boat on the ferry, and I don't know whether it went downstream or not. I hid because the situation was not good."
Duan Xipeng didn't speak for a while, he just looked at the river and thought deeply.
The river surface is actually only 20 feet, and the water volume is not large. Huishui originates from Wuling Mountain in Yicheng County. There is also a tributary that originates from Dajiao Town in the northeast of Jiang County and flows to Jixi River from Zijinshan Road. After entering the water, the amount of water will increase.
However, several consecutive years of drought, although the situation in Shanxi is much better than that in Shaanxi, still make these rivers that should have surged in the flood season look like a dry season.
Without a boat, the carriage would not be able to pass. Without a carriage, how would the women get there?
"Go and look along the river bank. If there is a ferry, pay more for it. Be sure to cross the river." Duan Xipeng calmed down and said, "Have Zhang Laosi and the others come back?"
"Not yet, they should cross the river." The soldier replied, "The terrain in this area is a bit complicated. There is Zijin Mountain to the southeast, and Dong Zepi is more than ten miles to the south. The vegetation is lush. It is said..."
Duan Xipeng's eyes narrowed, "What is said?"
"It is said to be a hiding place for bandits, but because of the raging rebellion in the west, many bandits have gone to join the rebels, so I don't know if there are any bandits in Dongzepi." The soldiers have obviously done some research on the situation in this area. understand.
Of course, Duan Xipeng knew better that Dong Zepi, with a radius of dozens of miles, was actually a lake and swamp. Due to the drought in recent years, it had turned into something similar to a swamp.
The wetland is surrounded by trees and shrubs such as cattail willow, dustpan willow, and red willow that grow near the water. They are a good place for bandits to hide and come in and out.
"Don't be careless. Arrange a group of people to investigate." Duan Xipeng shook his head, "Let's find a 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 such a long trip, so I have a bad feeling."
Zhang Laosi, whom Duan Xipeng mentioned, was running along the Huishui River with another scout at this time. He received an arrow in his left shoulder and only had time to break the arrow, leaving it embedded in his flesh.
"Wang Hu, how far is it?" " Wiping a handful of sweat that had seeped into his eyes, which stung him, Zhang Laosi gritted his teeth and turned slightly sideways, bowed his body and bent over, forming a strange arc with the saddle, allowing his body to be almost parallel to the horse's belly. Only then did he Put an arrow on the bowstring, inhale sharply, exhale loudly, "Boom!"
There was a flash of light, and one of the two fast horses in pursuit suddenly curled up behind the horse's neck. At the same time, he jerked the reins of the horse. The Zaoluma turned sideways lightly and avoided this almost fatal arrow. The man who followed him was not so lucky and happened to catch the arrow.
He almost didn't even have time to grunt, and an arrow hit his chest, piercing the edge of a misfitted goggles. Jianma was also stunned by this sharp blow, and the man had already rolled off his horse. , one foot was even hung in the stirrup, and was dragged to the ground by the strong horse, bringing up the yellow dust all the way.
"Old sheepskin! "At that moment, the man's beard and halberd were spread out, and his eyes were about to burst. But he knew at just one glance that Lao Yangpi was hopeless. An arrow had penetrated his body, and his chest and abdomen were badly damaged. What's more, he fell off the horse and was dragged and thrown by the horse like this. Even the indestructible body of King Kong couldn't withstand such a torment. Half of his head was covered in blood and flesh, but there was no sound. He was obviously dead.
This arrow was so vicious that he didn't even see clearly where the other party fired the arrow from. He just felt something shaking in front of him with the corner of his eye. He drew his horse's reins and turned sideways, but he didn't expect to hide. Passed a fatal blow.
But this also made him feel chills down his spine. A guy who came out of nowhere could actually have such extraordinary abilities. If the officers and soldiers were all of this level, this battle would be a fart!
Zhang Laosi succeeded with an arrow and could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, this arrow basically made him lose the ability to fight again. The shoulder was bleeding so much that he could hardly lift it. He only wanted this arrow now. It can make the pursuers feel intimidated and not dare to bite the two of them like this.
"Fourth brother, there are still ten miles of land!" Wang Hu, who was riding the horse in front, shrank his neck and didn't even dare to look back: "As long as we go around the beam in front, we can almost see the adults. They are here If there are twenty people, then it’s just food delivery.”
"Fuck you! How long can we wait until that time?" Zhang Laosi gritted his teeth with hatred. His companion's archery skills were so poor. He even said he was an Orion. Damn it, he could still shoot a few arrows besides standing still on the ground. Decent, on a horse, especially on the back of such a galloping horse, it is simply useless.
Seeing the two people in front of them running wildly without slowing down, and the dozen or so riders behind them being delayed for so long and being dragged back dozens of steps, the man with the beard was afraid that it would be difficult to catch up. Among the group of people, except for his Zao Liu, It's still okay, the others are riding ordinary horses. This long-distance pursuit is already a bit too much, but the two fleeing horses in front don't show any signs of fatigue.
He wasn't sure what the end result would be if he pushed them up alone. Either he would be shot dead, or he would kill them all himself.
But the former is definitely more likely. He is not willing to exchange his own life for such futile achievements. It is not worth it.
The dozen cavalrymen slowed down and watched helplessly as the two disappeared from sight. Although they did not know the identity of the enemy, if they were scouts from the official army, it would be troublesome.
"Are you still chasing me?" Everyone gathered around him, "That guy's archery skills are very good, but if you listen to the bow string and think about it, you can see that he has already been hit by an arrow."
"It's not like they are from the official army. There is no way there are such masters in Pingyang Mansion. The guards have all been mobilized. It seems like a private army, but where did the private army come from?"
"Could it be that you're from Shanxi Town? Did you come so quickly?"
Everyone was talking about it, and the bearded man shook his head: "No matter where he is,
We came, but now our whereabouts have been revealed, which means that there are enemies around, and we need to be more vigilant. Let’s go back first, and then ask around to see if any officers and soldiers have shown up. Jiangzhou was captured. I don’t know. Where did the guards in Jiangzhou City come from? They were either Pingyang Guards or Puzhou Suo, but their numbers were not large, so they shouldn't be so insistent. "
Jiangzhou fell, and it fell just an hour ago. The reason why Zhang Laosi was so eager to rush back and tell Duan Xipeng was that once Jiangzhou fell, this post road would be in danger, and the rebels only needed to go further east. , this post road running through the north and south will fall into the hands of the enemy.
Moreover, with the fall of Jiangzhou, the Yi family is probably not safe. If it is delayed a little, my army will not be able to go south. If there are no female relatives, then it will be okay, but the governor's beautiful relatives are all here, something is really going to happen. Son, don’t even think about living anymore.
He had to 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 received the news from Long Jinwei. Two days ago, the Yi family fell. Now the rebel army has approached this post road, and Wenxi and Anyi counties have appeared around it. The enemy's horse was detected.
Now the news from Zhang Laosi made Duan Xipeng's heart sink even more. He finally came, what should he do?
