Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 266

[Chapter 266 Flying Fox Pass]

Jinzhou.

More than one hundred people moved slowly under the escort of ten Xiliang cavalry.

The hands and feet of the people were tied with ropes, and they struggled forward barefoot.

If some people walked too slowly, the Xiliang cavalry’s whips would come down.

With a scream, a bloodstain appeared on the back of the people.

“Woooo…” Some of the people cried.

Since the fall of Jincheng, they have become outcasts without a home.

Xiliang cavalry galloped and wreaked havoc on the land of Jinzhou.

The cavalry of the captured army hunted down the people of Jinzhou everywhere and escorted them to Xiliang.

Anyone who resists will be ruthlessly killed by them.

For a time, the people of Jinzhou were miserable.

When the common people were feeling ashamed, they suddenly found Xiliang cavalry shouting.

There was panic on their faces.

The people looked forward, and saw more than a dozen cavalrymen in silver armor rushing towards them in the yellow smoke not far away.

Seeing this, the Xiliang cavalry drew out their sabers and rushed over.

The two sides fought at a distance of less than 100 meters from them.

One of the generals with the dancer’s silver spear seemed to be very powerful, and he stabbed to death a Xiliang cavalry just by meeting him.

After several rounds, the Xiliang cavalry lost half and fled.

At this time, the silver armored cavalry came to the people.

Dismounting from their horses, they cut the ropes from the people.

The general holding a silver gun said: “Less than thirty miles to the east is Feihu Pass, you follow me.”

After that, the cavalry general took the lead, and the other cavalry guarded the people and went to Feihu Pass.

After walking for less than half an hour, Yanguan could be vaguely seen.

At this time, a spy horse caught up from behind and said to Zhongli: “General, we found a large number of Xiliang troops moving towards Feihu Pass.”

Zhongli frowned, and immediately urged the people to speed up their pace.

Back at Feihu Pass, Zhongli immediately handed over the people to the general who was in charge of appeasing the people.

During this time, more than 100,000 people poured into Feihuguan, and they rescued tens of thousands of people from Xiliang’s capture army.

It’s just that there are 200,000 Jinzhou people gathered here.

“The Xiliang Army is here.” Chen Hu came down from the city wall at this moment.

When they arrived at Feihuguan, they sent a large number of scouts to Jinzhou to investigate the situation.

They found that Xiliang’s capture army was raging in Jinzhou, searching for civilians everywhere.

These captured troops are often in teams of fifteen.

Each time, a team of civilians ranging from more than a hundred to as many as five or six hundred people can be arrested and escorted to Xiliang.

Discovering this feature, he discussed with Zhongli to break up the cavalry, also with fifteen men in each group, to compete with the Xiliang captured army for the common people.

At first, the Xiliang people did not expect that a large number of cavalry from Yanzhou would enter Jinzhou, and many people would be taken back by them.

After realizing this later, cavalry teams of hundreds of people began to appear to encircle and suppress the Yanzhou cavalry.

They took advantage of the situation to make changes, and also organized a cavalry team of more than a hundred people to deal with the Xiliang people.

They played against each other several times, and they fought back and forth.

However, their purpose was not to kill Xiliang cavalry, but to save the people.

So every time they met, they entangled but did not fight to the death.

Often after cutting off the ropes on the people, they circled around with the Xiliang cavalry.

When the people had fled far enough, they withdrew.

In this way, they didn’t kill many Xiliang cavalry, but they didn’t suffer much loss, and they saved many people.

But in this way, they finally annoyed the Xiliang people.

The scale of Xiliang cavalry is getting bigger and bigger.

To this day, the Xiliang army has directly approached Feihu Pass.

It seems that they have to teach them a lesson.

“Haha, just in time.” Zhong Li jumped off his horse and climbed up the city wall.

The general guarding Feihu Pass is Niu Cha.

He was also the earliest guard of King Yan.

Seeing Zhongli coming up, he said, “How many more were rescued today?”

“About three hundred.” Zhongli was not very satisfied with today’s number.

At first, he could save thousands of people a day.

But this is also related to the fact that fewer and fewer people come to Feihu Pass.

Because in the process of saving the people, they have been spreading two escape paths to Yanzhou.

One is Feihu Pass, and the other is Jinhe Waterway.

Because Feihuguan is inland, there are many cavalry in Xiliang.

He estimated that many people fled in the direction of Jinhe.

Moreover, Xiliang people are also landlubbers, and they have no navy, so it is safer than going to Feihu Pass.

“Sure enough, it’s a veteran who will go out, one is worth two.” Niu Cha said.

Zhongli was originally a general under Yuan Li’s command.

Therefore, after defecting to Queen Yan, the generals of the royal family’s personal army still have some estrangement from him.

So did he.

However, during this period of time, Zhongli often took the lead, which he really admired.

Gradually, he reached an agreement with Zhongli and his cavalry.

“So-so.” Zhong Li chuckled twice.

He liked the atmosphere in the palace and the army very much.

But he also knows the prejudice against himself by the generals of the royal family.

But he has a big heart and has always treated people with sincerity, and now he is very popular.

Especially Chen Hu, because they are both cavalry generals, the two cherish each other.

Pouted to the outside of the city, he said to Niu Cha: “During Yanguan, I didn’t have a chance to see the power of the artillery, now I can’t miss it, let these Xiliang people have a look.”

Niu Cha licked Licking his lips, he smiled sinisterly.

After the fall of Jinzhou, the atmosphere at Feihu Pass became tense.

Because in the history of the Central Plains Dynasty, there has always been a saying that Jin wins Yan.

Therefore, after conquering Jinzhou, the next step will definitely be to attack Yanzhou.

After all, Feihuguan can be attacked when advancing, and defending when retreating. If Da Song wants to regain Jinzhou, it is most appropriate to send troops from Feihuguan.

Furthermore, the Jin River is very wide and the current is fast.

They are very unfriendly to nomadic tribes in the northwest like Xiliang.

Attacking Yanzhou is more practical than crossing the Jin River and going down.

When the two of you said something to me.

The black line in the sky was getting thicker and thicker, but these Xiliang troops stopped five miles away from Feihu Pass.

Then they vaguely saw some Xiliang soldiers moving.

Not long after, white tents appeared one after another.

They actually set up camp under Feihu Pass.

Zhongli and Niu Cha looked at each other.

They understood that this Xiliang army was trying to block the way in and out of Feihu Pass.

In this way, the cavalry in Yanzhou could not go out, and the people in Jinzhou could not enter.

At the same time, it can also prepare for the attack on Feihu Pass.

“What should we do now?” Niu Cha scratched his head.

Zhong Li’s eyes narrowed, and he said, “They can block Feihu Pass, but they can’t block Jin River.”

After thinking for a while, he said, “Let’s report back to Your Highness first, and there are 200,000 people in Jinzhou who can’t stay in Feihu Pass forever.”

Niu Cha nodded.

His task is to guard the Feihu Pass, and the people are in it.

Naturally, he didn’t dare to take the risk of going out to fight the Xiliang army.

After all, it’s all about winning, if you lose, I’m afraid Feihu will be in trouble.

The two agreed and discussed with Chen Hu again.

Chen Hu also had no objection.

Immediately, they sent a team of cavalry to go to Yancheng.
