Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

It is about tens of feet wide and connected by a solid stone bridge. This bridge has been here for about 40 to years, and it still stands tall after wind and rain.

"This Lanshui River is a natural moat for Beidi people who are not familiar with water. The water surface looks smooth, but the undercurrent is so strong that it is difficult for ordinary boats to cross it here, let alone Beidi with horses. The army is here."

Xiao Muqian was familiar with this place, so he said to Deputy General Zhen.

Deputy General Zhen nodded. When he was stationed in the northwest with General Su, he would often patrol the banks of the Lanshui River, so he naturally knew how powerful the river was.

"It's really strange to say that the Lanshui River has nourished Ganzhou, but left Liangzhou alone. Otherwise, Liangzhou would not have such a shortage of water sources."

"More than ten years ago, the Northwest earthquake caused the river to change its direction. The originally fertile Liangzhou lost the nourishment of the Lanshui River, and it became like this. However, the wells in the city are full of water, and there are always people looking after them. , beware of poisoning."

This habit was ordered by Xiao Ji more than ten years ago, and he would send a special person to be on duty by the well every day, so it has been peaceful for so many years.

"There is General Xiao Ji in Liangzhou, it is really like a sea needle."

Deputy General Zhen said with emotion.

Obviously he is the second son of Prince Kang's mansion, Tianhuang nobleman who can get the title of county king after a casual experience, insists on running to the northwest to suffer.

Don't tell me how hard it is, even my nephew was kidnapped and stayed for more than ten years, which is really extraordinary!
After hearing this, Xiao Muqian also felt that it was very reasonable.

Now I hope that the second uncle can hold on for a while, after crossing the Lanshui River, it will only be twenty miles away from Liangzhou City.

The two stood by the river for a while and then returned to where the army was.

After a short rest, many people still came to their senses.

I also knew that the military situation was urgent and we couldn't rest anymore, so Xiaowei Cheng said, "Hurry up, brothers, the people in Liangzhou City are still waiting for us, they all have parents, wives and children, and we can't let them Those barbarians from Beidi ruined the homes of our people in Dajin! Isn’t that right!”

"exactly!"

After listening to his words of encouragement, the morale rose greatly, and the cavalry and infantry were all ready to move out at any time.

Xiao Muqian glanced at Xiaowei Cheng gratefully, nodded his thanks to him, and shouted, "Let's go!"

So the mighty reinforcement army began to rush forward again.

By the Lanshui River, next to the Shikong Bridge.

The army is crossing the Lanshui River one by one.

It's not that the Central Plains Army has never seen a river before, but it's the first time that they are so brave. It's a pity that it's not a good time to enjoy the scenery, otherwise, they have to stay here and take a good look.

Just as Xiao Muqian led the army across the stone bridge, it might as well have been a secret agent in the army that had been lurking for many years, waiting for this opportunity.

The transport vehicle loaded with a large number of fire mines suddenly broke its shaft and scattered all over the ground at once. It seemed that it was unintentional, but in fact it cleverly landed on various weak spots of the stone bridge.

The cavalry had passed through first, and most of the infantry had left. Now they were stopped by the transport vehicle, and the pawns behind were a little unhappy about being delayed, so they asked them to move the vehicle quickly.

Unexpectedly, the transporter was the leader of Xizuo, he nodded and bowed towards the Huo Lei, stretched out his hand and used a fire pocket to ignite the Huo Lei that had been tampered with and connected in series.

In an instant, the stone bridge was blown to pieces by successive rumblings.

The Jeju army on both sides of the bank was fine, but their ears hurt from the shock.

But those who were still on the bridge were not so lucky. Those who were close to Huo Lei were killed on the spot, and those who were farther away also fell into the Lanshui River when the stone bridge broke.

Sure enough, as Xiao Muqian said, the undercurrent was surging strongly, before he had time to struggle, he was swept down by the river and disappeared.

"Rescue!"

Xiao Muqian's eyes turned red, they hadn't rushed to Liangzhou for help, but now they were slapped severely.

Looking at the dead soldiers of the Jeju Army, the hatred in his heart grew stronger.

Those who were close were pulled up, but they were also blind and half dead. Now they are dead and injured here, and the situation in Liangzhou city is unknown, so they are in a dilemma for a while.

This is tantamount to cutting off their retreat!
No need to think too much, you can know that it must be the Beidi spy lurking in the army who did it!
They were loyal, and they would not hesitate to lose their lives, but they blew up the bridge!
For a while, the 5 people who were still high in morale suddenly had riots.

They were from Jeju, and although they trained their troops every day to defend their home and country during the war, most of them wanted to make meritorious deeds and go home to honor their ancestors, but they didn't think about throwing their lives in Liangzhou city.

Unexpectedly, the bombing of the retreat now means that they basically have no return to this trip.

Either defeat Beidi, and then send someone to repair the bridge before returning, or die in Liangzhou from now on, and there is no possibility of returning home.

I don't know who made a word of fear, and the legs of many soldiers also softened.

It is a big taboo that the morale of the army has been shaken before the battle begins.

Deputy General Zhen said decisively, "General, you take the cavalry to help General Xiao Ji first, and the subordinates will take care of this place."

Xiao Muqian gritted his silver teeth, and before he had time to think about it, he immediately shouted to the terrified Jeju Army cavalry behind him.

"Boys! The people of Beidi won't leave us a way out. If that's the case, let's rush over to kill them all, and use their dead bodies to build a bridge for us to go home!"

In a word, the blood of many people was ignited.

Although there are not many, as long as a few people take the lead to muster up their energy, the rest will follow suit.

"Pieces of armor are not left behind!"

"Pieces of armor are not left behind!"

The voice was courageous, the night was long, and the reinforcement cavalry followed Xiao Muqian and accelerated forward.

When the sky was about to break dawn, the reinforcements who had been in a hurry for a long time finally arrived outside Liangzhou City.

When General Xiao Ji heard that his nephew Xiao Muqian was leading the army, the big stone in his heart finally fell.

"Go, go and see the reinforcements!"

They had received a reply from Dongducheng before, and the emperor sent 20 Jeju troops to support them.

With these soldiers, even if the city wall can't stop the iron cavalry, they can be cut down in the city by anyone, and they won't have the opportunity to cross the Lanshui River.

He came to the gate of the city full of smiles, but only saw about ten thousand cavalry behind Xiao Muqian.

Everyone looked tired, but their spirits were not bad.

"Second uncle!"

"Qianer!"

The two uncles and nephews finally met, Xiao Muqian had been worried for so long, but fortunately the second uncle was fine, and Liangzhou City was fine!

"Where's the Ninth Prince?" I already knew that it was the Ninth Prince who led the troops today, but why didn't he show up.

Xiao Muqian looked at his second uncle Qiji's eyes, and suddenly couldn't bear to tell him the truth.
