Volume 3 Chapter 288 Seeing Death and Not Saving (2)

Nie Qian woke up. Fastest updates

At the end of the day, she was mostly exhausted. And when she arrived in Chang'an and saw Zhong Xuan, she relaxed because she was relieved, and then she fell asleep because she couldn't support it. But after all, she was still thinking about the children of Yizhou who were fighting with the enemy, so she didn't sleep well, and she was half confused and half awake, and suddenly woke up.

The person sat up on the couch, but his mind was not completely clear. In fact, many people are like this, when they are worried about something, they suddenly wake up in their sleep, and there will be a moment when they can't tell whether they are awake or asleep, and whether they have done what they should have done. You have to live a good life, think about things and analyze them clearly, and then you will understand what your current situation is.

Nie Qian is like that now. After sitting on the couch for two or three minutes, and then looking at the dusty clothes on his body, he gradually recalled that he had arrived in Chang'an and met Zhong Xuan, and Zhong Xuan also promised to send rescue immediately.

Secretly relieved, because he was worried about Wu Yu, who led the people to the Meridian Valley, and Xu Shang, who was fighting the enemy, Nie Qian's body was no longer sleepy. hurriedly turned over and got off, and then looked at the sky by the window, and saw that it was not yet dawn at this time, but there was already a faint white belly in the sky.

At this time, it was already the end of the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, the night time was long, the day was relatively late, and there was generally no light in the sky after seven o'clock in the morning, and Nie Qian remembered that when she arrived in Chang'an, it was about two or three o'clock in the night, which means that Nie Qian slept for at least three to four hours.

"Have I slept for so long? I don't know if Zhong Miao sent reinforcements during this time. If you act faster, you can get the dean of the university by now. ”

Nie Qian is also a person who has been in Chang'an for almost two years, so she still knows a lot about some military things here in Chang'an. In her opinion, after she met with Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan could complete the deployment of troops in about an hour, and then Chang'an was about two hundred and fifty miles away from Xu Shang's battle site, and the cavalry troops were about two hours away, so by dawn, Chang'an's reinforcements should at least be able to find Xu Shang and them.

As for Xu Shang, how long can they withstand the attack of two thousand Western Regions rangers...... Maybe it was out of a kind of blind confidence, but Nie Qian believed that his university dean and more than 500 Yizhou children would not be able to withstand even these few hours.

Thinking so in her heart, Nie Qian couldn't sit still after all. Seeing that Zhou was not bad, Nie Qian planned to go out to see the situation, but at this time, the maid guarding outside the door also opened the door because she noticed the movement in the room, and saw that Nie Qian was about to go out, so she hurriedly said: "Miss Qian, you want to go out?" ”

Nie Qian responded, and then asked casually, "By the way, when did Zhong Xiangguo's reinforcements go?" ”

The two maids glanced at each other, but did not answer Nie Qian's question, but said something else: "Miss Qian, you are overworked, Xiangguo ordered us to take good care of you, and also let you rest here, you don't need to ask more about other things, just leave it to Xiangguo." ”

Nie Qian, who was born in western Liaoning, didn't have so many fancy intestines, so she didn't react to some things, but just subconsciously responded: "Don't worry, I'm not so delicate." Although I was very tired before, I was much better after sleeping for so long. Oh, by the way, you haven't told me when the reinforcements were sent. ”

Nie Qian meant to calculate whether this would meet Xu Shang and them from the time when Zhong Qian sent reinforcements, but the two maids were upset. Finally, one of them was smarter, and after a little support, he said: "Miss Qian, we are just ordinary maids, and the transfer of soldiers and horses is a military situation, how can we know?" ”

This explanation is quite reasonable, but although Nie Qian has some nerves, she is not so much that she doesn't even have a brain, and she has been here in Chang'an for almost two years, and she is very familiar with some things, and the support of the two maids just now has also attracted Nie Qian's attention.

So so, a dark cloud crossed Nie Qian's heart, and a bad feeling also surged into her heart. And although her personality is more straightforward, she still uses her brain when it is time to use her brain, so at this moment, Nie Qian didn't say anything, but pretended to be confused and patted her head and said, "It's too!" How could you possibly know that? Forget it, Zhong Xiangguo has already spoken, I believe that the rescue of the university president and their troops are about to arrive at the place, what am I worried about here? Oh, I'm hungry, can you take me for a bite to eat? ”

The two maids were obviously relieved, but they didn't take Nie Qian to eat, they only said that they would let Nie Qian rest in the room, and they would bring Nie Qian something to eat immediately.

This was not wrong, but Nie Qian sensed that the two maids had the intention of not letting her leave the room. And the more these two maids were like this, the more uneasy Nie Qian's heart became. Nie Qian also began to be vaguely aware of some things......

In a small grove about 300 miles west of Chang'an, Xu Shang and the others were seizing the time to rest.

The front and back of midnight were fighting, because it was in an open terrain, and Xu Shang and the others lacked battle equipment such as big shields and spears, so they actually suffered a lot against the more than 2,000 pursuing Western Regions rangers. Xu Shang did not fight to the death with the Western Regions Rangers, but while maintaining the formation, he worked hard to adjust the direction and fight and retreat, and finally deviated from the direction of the Western Regions Rangers' pursuit, and at the same time, he also discovered such a small forest area, and immediately retreated into this forest area with the children of Yizhou.

However, at this time, more than half of the five hundred Yizhou disciples had been lost. is still the same sentence, because there is no big shield, spear and other equipment, although the Yizhou disciples have worked hard to maintain the formation to meet the enemy, but they do not have the corresponding protection ability. And although the bows and crossbows in their hands are good, the riding and archery ability of the Western Regions Rangers is not a joke.

You must know that the cavalry of Central Asia is very famous for its cavalry archery in history, and many of the two thousand cavalry in the Western Regions who pursued it were cavalry archers from Central Asia, although they were not of the Parthian lineage, but their level was also excellent. In fact, the Yizhou children who Xu Shang lost here were basically put down by the bows and arrows of the horse archers...... The children of Yizhou did not have a shield to defend against each other's arrows.

The situation did not change until Xu Shang and the others retreated into the forest area more than an hour ago. Yizhou is also an area with many mountains and forests, so the children of Yizhou are better at mountain warfare and forest warfare. With the cover of the woods, they can finally effectively dodge the arrows fired by the opponent's cavalry archers and return the color in time, and the woods can also effectively stop the impact of the opponent's cavalry. If it weren't for that, Xu Shang and the others might not be able to hold on.

But at this moment, Xu Shang's brows were still locked. Looking at the little whiteness that appeared in the sky and then calculating the time, they fought for five hours, to say the least. You must know that this is not a large-scale battle, and the combined strength of the two sides is less than 3,000 people, so how can there be a reason to fight for so long under normal circumstances? The most important thing is that the other party is only about 2,000 rangers, according to the nature of their operations, if they miss a blow and fail to succeed, they should evacuate immediately, and they should leave after about two hours at most, but what is the matter with the children of Yizhou who have been pestering them now? Looking at this posture, it is clear that there is a meaning of never dying.

Xu Shang didn't know that these five hundred Yizhou disciples had actually beaten out the ferocity of these Western Regions rangers. Think about it, more than 2,000 cavalry against 500 infantry, no matter how you look at it at that time, you should be able to eat these 500 infantry casually. But what about the actual results? Xu Shang and the others had lost about half of their Yizhou disciples of about two hundred and forty or fifty, and the more than two thousand Western Regions rangers had already lost more than five hundred lives by this time!

And the most important thing is that not long after the battle began, the precious son of the commander of the Western Regions Rangers rushed too far forward because of the light enemy, and was killed by the random arrows of the Yizhou disciples, and the ranger commander was angry at that time, and was determined to kill these people who had lost his precious son no matter what. It's just these things, how did Xu Shang and them know?

In addition, there is another one, the equipment on the body of the Yizhou children who died in the battle has aroused the coveting of these Western Regions rangers. It's no wonder that these Western Regions rangers belong to the "Wanguo brand" miscellaneous army, and the children of Yizhou are all standard equipment produced in Yizhou, whether it is swords, bows and crossbows, or rubber armor, I don't know how many levels are better than the equipment on these Western Regions rangers. And for those who mix on the battlefield, a good piece of equipment is often more valuable than gold and silver treasure.

In short, driven by the anger of hatred and interests, these Western Regions rangers targeted Xu Shang and them, and this battle was fought from midnight to heaven.

Although the current Xu Shang and them have the cover of the forest area, the situation is not optimistic. One of the most important is that they are running out of arrows. Again, Xu Shang and the others were originally just a group of people who were going to leave the Chang'an battlefield, and the weapons and equipment they brought on their bodies were the basic protective standards, and it was impossible to bring too much of the arrow box. To be honest, if it was a normal archer at that time, a pot of arrows carried with him would be a few dozen at most. Xu Shang and the others used short arrow boxes, twenty arrows per box, and each person brought five, which was only about a hundred. And if it is a regular combatant in Yizhou, there will be no less than ten arrow magazines on his body, and he will be followed by supply personnel.

These are not, anyway, because of the fact that the arrow box is about to run out and there are no horses, Xu Shang and they are suppressed in this small forest area and can't get out. In other words, Xu Shang and the others have been surrounded by each other.

Xu Shang had no choice but to do so. If it was still night, it might be possible to force a breakthrough under the cover of night, but now that the sky is gradually brightening, everyone can only become each other's arrow targets as soon as they come out of the forest. There is another one, Xu Shang is not familiar with the terrain in this area, even if they forcibly break through, they don't know which direction to flee. And leaving this small forest area, the surrounding area is full of large areas of open terrain, and the cavalry of the opposing side fights...... The results are needless to say.

Now there are only two roads for Xu Shang, one is to hold on to this forest area until the sky gets dark again, or maybe if it lasts a little longer, those Western Regions rangers should be withdrawn; The other is to wait for reinforcements from the direction of Chang'an. Wu Yu will send Nie Qian to Chang'an for help, but in fact, it is also something that Xu Shang explained to Wu Yu.

However, Xu Shang roughly calculated the time, and calculated that as long as nothing went wrong, the reinforcements from Chang'an should be able to arrive before and after dawn. And the previous engagements left too many traces, and Chang'an's reinforcements can follow the traces of those engagements as long as they are not stupid.

It's just that as the sky gets brighter and brighter, Xu Shang's mood is sinking more and more. Somehow, Xu Shang recalled the gloomy face of Cao Pi that he had inadvertently seen at the previous banquet, and Xu Shang, as the current university president of these Yizhou children, had also been recruited by Cao Pi either explicitly or secretly. So connecting these together, Xu Shang vaguely realized something.

"College Chief! Many of the enemy dismounted, and it seemed that they wanted to go into the forest to fight us hand-to-hand! ”

Xu Shang's heart sank, and he said that this is also what he is afraid of. There are less than three hundred Yizhou disciples left, and the other party still has at least fifteen or six hundred, if they are really rushed into the forest by the other party to fight hand-to-hand combat, these Yizhou children really can't take any advantage.

But at this moment, Xu Shang also knew that they had no way to retreat, so they could only raise their swords to meet the enemy. Maybe if you hold on a little longer, reinforcements from Chang'an will be able to arrive, right?

At this moment, in Chang'an City, Nie Qian had already found an opportunity to restrain the two maids, tied them up in a ball and threw them on the couch. Although she belongs to the literary staff, she grew up in Liaoxi since she was a child, and her skills are still good, at least it will not be difficult to deal with the two powerless maids.

Leaving the room, Nie Qian immediately noticed that there were guards guarding the outside of the courtyard where she was, which also made Nie Qian a little more worried. What is her own identity, can she not know? To put it mildly, what qualifications does she, a small clerk, have to let Zhong Xuan's soldiers stand guard for herself? If such a thing happens, it can only mean that she is actually under house arrest. And why is she under house arrest for such a small clerk...... As long as you are not a fool, you can understand it.

If you want to change to someone else, you may really not know what to do now, but fortunately, Nie Qian is a literary worker, and to put it bluntly, she sings and dances for everyone. And Nie Qian, as such a literary artist, was often invited to perform here in the past two years in Chang'an...... Well, to put it bluntly, Zhong Qian treats people like Nie Qian as singers and dancers, but they are much more respectful than ordinary singers and dancers.

None of this is nonsense, anyway, because Nie Qian often comes to Zhong Xuan, she is familiar with the environmental layout of Zhong Xuan. And at this moment, it was precisely because of this familiarity that Nie Qian came up with a route that could slip out from here......
