girl riding a horse

Chapter 453 To strangle the traitors!

Xie Yuan heard that the face under the helmet seemed to be covered with frost, and became more stern. She yelled sharply from her throat: "Drive!", kicked the horse's belly, and then one person and one horse seemed to be separated from each other. It swooped down like a stringed arrow.

Seeing this, the team of soldiers who followed her followed immediately, galloping in the wilderness, horseshoes galloping, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose.

But her direction is not to return to the capital, but to go in the direction of Youshan Camp!

Soon, on a gentle slope, they saw the oncoming army from Youshan camp. The square formation was neat and orderly. The soldiers held spears, and the sound of footsteps on the ground was loud.

Xie Yuan pulled the reins abruptly, looking at the formation that was constantly moving forward in the distance.

The banner of Youshan Camp was unfurled in the air, the leading general was riding on the horse, his figure swayed with the horse, and he looked over with his face holding the light of the sun.

Xie Yuan pursed his lips, and ordered in a low voice: "String the bow and arrow, everyone is on alert!"

Sun Tian turned around and delivered Xie Yuan's order. The order passed word of mouth, and soon everyone put the bow on the arrow and held it in their hands without making a sound, but the arrow's tip was facing down, ready to raise it at any time. Bow fired.

Xie Yuan ordered again: "Show the banners to show the troops, and then order the flags to stop them from marching!"

Hearing this, the flag-bearer carrying the banner with the word "Jie" tugged on the reins and walked out of the queue, standing in the middle, and then stood up on the stirrups, swinging his arms, Waving red flags left and right.

The huge "Jie" flag unfolded in the air against the wind, and went back and forth five or six times, and there was no reason why the characters could not be read clearly.

After he finished waving, he carried the banner and joined the team.

Then the flag soldiers came out, still standing up on horseback, waving the two triangular flags in their hands.What was issued was Song's exclusive "stop advancing" order.

Although they were far away, everyone in the Youshan camp saw it, and the marching team immediately felt hesitant, and their speed slowed down significantly.

But because Dutong didn't give an order, they didn't dare to stop directly.

Xie Yuan frowned and looked at the leading general, the alert value in his heart was raised to the highest level, and he ordered decisively:
"preparation!"

With a sound of "shua", all the bows and arrows that had already been loaded and held in their hands were raised at the same time, and their targets were facing in the direction of Youshan Camp.

Although the enemy is outnumbered, no one has any objection at this moment, and the order is executed immediately, silently, decisively, and ruthlessly.

This is the result of her usual military training, and it is also the result of her taking the lead and fighting for many years.

At this time, Li Jin, the commander of Youshan Camp, finally gave the order to stop the army.

The deputy commander beside him asked aloud:
"Dutong, what are you doing stopping?! They only have less than 100 people, so they just rushed over and flattened the ground, right?"

Du Tong Li Jin looked directly at the sun, his eyes were a little bit dizzy from the light, and the sweat oozing from his forehead made things worse.He wiped his eyes with his finger and said:

"Didn't you see, they are standing on a higher ground than us, their bows and arrows can shoot farther than us, and they are all light cavalry."

The deputy capital was not moved at all, and said:

"So what?! We have about 5000 people in a large camp, so what about the cavalry?! As long as they fight, 5000 people will destroy the time when a hundred or so of them don't need a stick of incense!"

"Then what if they don't fight you head-on? Look at the terrain, it's hard for us to raise our eyes and see things against the light! If they roam around on horseback and shoot, how many people will I lose in vain?!"

After hearing this, the deputy capital commander thought about it, looked around again, and said:
"We also have a lot of cavalry. The army is not moving. I will lead people to rush up and finish them off!"

"Wait~!" Du Tong Li Jin dragged his voice, a little impatient.

He rolled his eyes and said:
"Wait a minute... that's Jie Yuan! I've heard that she is a master of riding and archery, and she has shown her face on many occasions, which is recognized by many people. And he also has a way of training soldiers. Now he is following him The soldiers directly under him must be elite soldiers and strong generals, so we should not take it lightly!"

The vice president said anxiously:

"Then...then what should we do? Could it be that these few people blocked the way?! There is no time to delay."

Li Jin sneered, then raised his finger to wipe the sweat from his eyes, rubbed it on the back of his other hand, and said:
"I'm going to talk to him a few words before calling, but I don't believe that he can still be so loyal to the court after the matter of Princess Huaizhen."

After saying that, he shook the reins, stepped out alone, and rode forward.

Seeing him like this, Xie Yuan also shook the reins, straightened his back, and walked towards the middle of the two parties.

Then the two of them tacitly held the reins and stood in place not far from the middle, the distance was just right for talking.

Xie Yuan made a sound first, and said in a cold voice:

"I am Xie Yuan, General Hussars, report your rank and name!"

Li Jin sneered mockingly, and said weakly and even frivolously:

"...General Xie has been so busy wiping his wife's ass since he was promoted to the General of Hussars, that the generals under his command didn't even have time to admit it. To be honest, as a man, I sympathize with you."

Xie Yuandan narrowed his eyes, his pupils gleamed coldly, his voice became deeper and more stable, with the majesty and oppression of a superior, he said slowly:

"Report your rank and name."

Li Jin hesitated for a while, but finally said honestly:

"The capital is directly under the defense, and the Youshan camp is under the leadership of Li Jin."

"The guard camp and the Fengji camp fought each other, and they sent out arrows for help. Why didn't you rush to help, instead you headed towards the capital?!"

Li Jin raised his eyebrows rather unconvinced, and said:

"Our task is to protect the imperial city, it is to suppress the rebellious traitors, not to defend the escort camp. General Xie can't stop us from entering the city to escort us just because the escorts of the camp are all Shen Guozhu's old troops."

Xie Yuan interrupted him coldly, and said:

"Since Shen Guozhu resigned from the army, he has no contact with the old department. They have nothing to do with me, what kind of protection?! Let me ask you, His Majesty Jingzhong sits firmly in the palace, what do you need to protect him?!"

Li Jin raised his volume and said immediately:

"Don't pretend that we don't know that Ma Guogong hijacked King Xian and said that he wanted to support him, but in fact he wanted to establish himself as emperor! The deputy governor of Fengji's camp is Ma Guogong's man. The battalion is blocking the fight, and Ma Guogong has the queen to support him in the palace, and half of the forbidden army to support him, and now the emperor is probably gone! We went to Beijing to strangle the traitors!"
