Chapter 493: [North Up South Down]

In fact, after the ambush and the loss of the queen, the Stephen did not collapse completely as Charya had expected. (Reading novels)
After all, although he is a mediocre guy, at least he is from the empire's Central Army. He has experienced the Odin invasion southward, and has been wiped out by the Odin Red Snow Army. The most dangerous despair.
Therefore, after the team crossed the river and lost the queen, Stephen, who suffered a huge blow, was stubborn for only one night, and before dawn, he had regained his strength.
Although his eyes were full of a desperate history of despair.
"Concentrate all the cavalry, all disperse, search along the river upstream and downstream!" Stephen gritted his teeth, he already felt the weirdness of this ambush. He had just been to the burning woods. Although the fire was out, but From the traces of residues, there weren't any large groups of men and women here. From the marks of horseshoes outside the woods, the marks of horseshoes are also very rare. The people ambushing themselves may be just a few or even one!
The other side was solo, so dare to ambush their own team of more than a thousand people here! In the dark, while crossing the river by himself, set fire in the woods, and then attacked with bows and arrows, míhuò himself.
As for the random arrows flying out of the woods, you can also see clearly. Some things are left in the woods. Some small crossbow arrows are set up on the branches of some trees, all connected in thin chains.
Obviously, the number of opponents is indeed not large. When they ambush themselves, the intensive arrow rain is just an illusion made by the other party: suppose that there are more than ten good crossbow crossbow arrows. Then as long as the control rope is pulled, more than ten crossbow arrows will be launched together ...
And from the crossbow arrows that were picked up next to the river bank, the arrows were dulled out, apparently the intention of the other party was only míhuò, and he did not want to pursue killing.
From all these traces, it seems that the other side is definitely not a rebel force somewhere even wants to be the lone thief standing between the mountains and the wild.
What made Stephen feel embarrassed was that during the ambush, the cavalry under his own, there were deserters, dozens of riders escaped, but in the end they were chased back by the elite horse thief cavalry.
Stephen's face burned as he watched the deserters and thrown to the ground.
He knows the origins of the hundred elite cavalry in the team. These regular troops have always looked down on these miscellaneous second-line guards. This makes him even more humiliated! You know, Lord Stephen, it was the empire of the real brand, the Central Army, the real regular army!
Annoyed, he immediately wanted to order the execution of deserters, but the one hundred horse thief cavalry refused to execute the order.
Stephen, who had nowhere to release his anger, could only pull the deserters with his whip.
The team sent out to search outside and ran for a full day and night, and the disappointing news brought by the people who came back one after another finally erased the little hope in Stephen's heart.
One of the teams was the closest to success. They traced the horseshoe mark of Charya. Unfortunately, the horseshoe mark disappeared after entering a mountain forest and passing through a small muddy semi-marsh.
After that, there was a mountain forest producing crickets.
To search such a huge mountain forest, I am afraid that even if tens of thousands of people are mobilized to search the mountain, it will not be possible in months. Not to mention that there are only a thousand people under his control, and he is still in the enemy-occupied area!
The Queen can't find it!
Stephen finally had to face this fact, and then he began to rack his brains to find a way out for himself!
He was very reluctant to return to the northern guard area.
He has been unable to dissolve into the groups in the northern Weiying District, and it is clear that General Xia did not wait to see the background of the Central Army officers who came from these emperors.
More importantly, he lost the queen, which means that the mission failed. After returning, General Xia Leiming had enough reasons to deal with himself!
Not to mention that just a lost queen is enough to hang yourself!
If he changed to another Xia Leiming's confidant general, maybe he would still open the net but he would not receive that kind of treatment! Even if he is not stupid, at least he knows that since the establishment of the Northern Army, General Xia Leiming has been working to dilute the original Central Army's mark in the Northern Army!
He will never let go of such a stately opportunity to wipe out such an old member of the Central Army.
As for going to Oscilia ...
This idea is very yòu in Stephen's mind.
I have come here, and I have been out of the sphere of influence of the Northern Army. Going further south, there is a great opportunity to return to the capital.
But ..., I lost my queen and returned to the capital, it is also a capital crime!
Returning to the north is death, and going to the emperor is also uh ..., Stephen clutched his hair anxiously.
In desperation, he came up with a last resort.
Back to the emperor but must take this army back!
Although Stephen was of average talent, he had an unusual vision outside of the noble family. He is very clear that in troubled times, whoever has military power is the biggest!
Now the Emperor's army is preparing for the war, ready to launch a counterattack against the rebels. But the power of the royal family has been greatly weakened after the previous rebellion and the Odin invasion, and even General Adrik had to draw from the south of the empire the second and even third-line local garrisons. That is basically a large group. After receiving only a little bit of barely basic military training, the farmer mud tu muzi who hurriedly took weapons.
The lack of troops, especially the truly combatable troops, is the biggest weakness of the empire's central government.
If you can pull this army of thousands of people to the capital of the emperor ..., then, when you own the soldiers to protect yourself, and then the family of God is up and down, walking the door, maybe you can earn one. Way out! Worse, even if you transfer yourself to the south and return to the clan of the family to be an official!
If the army of more than a thousand people was changed a year or two ago, they would not be qualified to discuss the conditions with the empire, but now the Emperor Capital is in a tense force. After three thousand cavalry in the past, it shocked the emperor to be expensive!
His team has 1,500 people, including 500 cavalry!
The Israeli army believes that it should not be too difficult to keep its own chips and rely on it.
Stephen's eyes stared at the infantry troops resting by the river.
The team was full of uneasy emotions.
It is not a fool to be a soldier. Losing the queen is equivalent to a complete failure of the mission, and what a serious crime to lose the queen. Where can a slightly minded person not understand?
What's more, there was an ambush last night. Now that the team is not advancing, it is still in place to repair and explore. Isn't it afraid that the local rebel forces will hear the news and send troops over to siege?
From officers to soldiers, almost everyone's eyes were full of panic and panic.
The only thing that looked a little different was the elite cavalry of a hundred horse thieves.
It may be a panic for others to lose the queen, but it is a bird to these innocent horse thieves!
In the hearts of the horse thieves, even if they have now turned to the official and have been compiled into the regular Northern Army of the Empire, the bandits in the bones are not erased in such a short time.
From the point of view of horse thieves, the world ’s eldest grandfather, Charlie and Miss Nene, are the second children, and the others go to be the oldest. What queen? hair! !!
If you lose it, you lose it, isn't it just a woman?
This trip was a bit inexplicable, and everyone marched hard. It was enough to a woman here. A night attack last night was too humiliating in the hearts of these elite cavalry!
If it wasn't for the Stephen Commander who was too bale and rushed all the way, would he be ambushed by others?
In addition, his soldiers were too pustular, and hundreds of people crossing the river were caught by others in amazement. They couldn't resist even the resistance and were taken away by the queen. It's almost waste home.
But it ’s okay. The task is over. Next, I just rolled around and turned back to my hometown in the north. I ’m still here to stay!
Unlike Stephen, who was also fantasizing, these horse thieves were used to this kind of ambush and robbery.
The event of last night, in the eyes of these veterans, knew it at a glance. Someone had definitely set the journey of their team and waited on the banks of the Agate River for everything to prepare for ambush. of.
Intentional calculation or unintentional, coupled with their own team is too pussy, the commander is also a mediocre generation, and the end need not be thought at all.
This Stephen also wanted to continue to lie here and send people to search, which is a waste of time.
These horse thieves, who used to eat this meal, are all proficient in this way. When it comes to this business, what you pay attention to is to swarm up and coax! Immediately after you succeed, you will be thousands of miles away, and then dormant. Don't even want to get one!
These guys will never lose their heads until the wind passes!
And since others have carefully prepared this ambush, naturally, the retreat has been arranged. Once it succeeds, it will be a safe retreat immediately. Stephen Stephen's messy flies sent someone out to find a pass, and it was called hell.
In this case, let's get back on track as soon as possible.
Anyway, these horse thieves are not afraid to go back and collect punishment. The commander of this trip is Stephen, and naturally he has a top tank. Besides, who are we? We are the uncles of Aunt Charya! It was the old subordinate who followed Miss Nene! The first team to join the army immediately after its establishment! No matter how uncle, he won't turn his elbow outward.
In this way, the horse thieves waited for a day, until the next night, when all the search teams returned, they finally asked Stephen to make a request.
※※※
"What? Going to the Imperial Capital ?!"
Several horse and thief cavalry officers shouted in unison after hearing Stephen's words.
At that time, a horse thief leader shouted, "Your brain is broken ?! Go to the imperial capital? We are the Northern Army. Since the mission has failed and the matter is over, we will naturally go back to the north! What imperial capital!"
Stephen's face sè Tieqing, Shen Sheng slowly said: "We are walking to Her Royal Highness to the Emperor, lost His Highness halfway, the task is not complete! We must go to the Imperial City to take his life before we can organize an army to rescue His Highness !!! Just go back to Denzel! "
The horse thieves quit, and one after another clamored, and some directly pointed at Stephen's nose and cursed: "What queen do you want to rescue, then your boys will go by themselves! I don't have time to accompany them! Here is his mother's betrayal In the army's territory, people can rescue a fart! If you have the ability, let the emperor send 100,000 troops to wipe out the rebels to rescue that queen! We have only a thousand people, but we are not interested in mixing such things! "
Stephen's face was deep, but he had pressed his hand on the handle, and said coldly, "I am the commander of this trip! What I said is a military order! Now that the mission is not completed, you cannot go back! You cannot rescue the queen back to the imperial capital. No one is allowed to leave! Otherwise, it will be a crime of desertion! I was told that the army would continue to go south, report to the capital, and organize a rescue! "
"Your sister!" A horse thief vomited fiercely. Spit, straightened the one in the middle of Stephen's finger in disdain.
There was a hint of murder in Stephen's eyes. He also made some preparations. If he wanted to bring these troops to the south, these were either his cavalry or the biggest obstacle.
More than a thousand other people, all of whom they led before, naturally have their own confidants. But this hundred cavalry is not their own. They are all elites who are loyal to Xia. If they are not willing to go to the imperial capital, they will not be able to command them.
In case of necessity, only ...
It was only a few horse and cavalry officers who came to negotiate with Stephen, and there were many henchmen around Stephen who saw that the master would quarrel with these cavalry officers. Some people were already nervously surrounding him by the hilt.
Stephen took a deep breath and was about to preemptively attack. After all, he was the highest commander of the trip. As long as he preemptively attacked, he accused these disobedient cavalry officers of wanting to be soldiers, and then used the identity of a commander to force a military order. The crime of overwhelming the army to flee soldiers in the Northern Army has always been great. At that time, as long as you use such excuses to attack the army, you will first take down these cavalry officers and then hand in their weapons. If you are more ruthless, you will just kill them directly ... I have military orders, I have the identity of a commander, and I have a killing power. If I want to come to those cavalry, I dare not make trouble, obediently ... "......
Seeing that Stephen's eyes were a bit murderous, which of these elite horse thieves wasn't the old oil rolling out of the blood of the corpse mountain, looking at the other person's eyes and the people who came near him, where did the sea not know the other person's bad intentions?
However, these horse thieves have no fear. These are a group of bold and outrageous guys. Among these horse thieves can be officers, how can one be good?
When Stephen didn't wait to speak at the moment, several officers looked at each other and didn't even shout. After a few slaps, several sabers had been pulled out directly. Several officers rushed up in the first hand, and actually cooperated with each other. Incomparably, there are two horizontal knives on each side to block the taxis around them. The two in the middle are the best. Directly make a tiger and the goal is to take Stephen!
Stephen's martial arts was not good enough, and when he saw the other party's trouble, he immediately slashed. But these horse thieves are sturdy and cunning one by one. This close-attack job is extremely skilled. Before Stephen's knife came to the front, he was short and fell to the ground, holding Stephen's tuk, The knife in his hand politely greeted Stephen's tuǐ. The other one stood and waved his sword to hold Stephen's knife. He screamed arrogantly, "Is there something for adults to say, they are all their brothers, Why bother with the sword ... "
He smiled and yelled, and several of Stephen's men next to him were a little stunned, but the knife in this horse thief's hand was never slow, and he slashed across with a knife!
Stephen had screamed and fell into a pool of blood.
His big tuk was stabbed in, and the man fell to the ground. Another horse thief has rushed down and held him. A short knife stabbed directly under his ribs, while stunning, he laughed: Stand still? Come, come and help the adult sit down. "
Stephen had spit blood in his mouth, and howled, but his mouth was covered with death, and then his neck was cold ...
A horse thief had cut his neck with a stab, and jumped up with his head in his hands. Where was the half smile on his face?
Holding the head high, the horse thief shouted loudly: "Stephen feared the enemy and betrayed him! He has fallen behind! The rest of the people put down their weapons and do not care! Resisters, kill!"
After all, they are only second-line security forces. Most of them are soldiers who have been eliminated. Who would really use the sword to fight desperately?
Even though Stephen has a few henchmen, but these horse thief officers are too fierce, before they start, they take the lead, and they are very fierce. They come to the death, and Stephen is killed in person.
Even though those confidantes were loyal to Stephen on a weekday, their bosses had their heads cut off now, and they still resisted farts?
Hesitating for a moment, someone directly threw his arms in his hands and knelt down, holding his head in his hands. Someone took the lead, and the rest of the people with the weapons lost their weapons helplessly.
A few horse thieves passed, and they lay on their backs with one foot on the ground.
Immediately after that, the captain of the horse thief and cavalry had jumped to a horse and stood, and took out a sheepskin envelope sealed with fire paint from his arms and tore it out, read aloud, "The Order of the General's Mansion of the Weiwei Army! Sergeant Lakun, officer of the Third Cavalry Team of the Independent Cavalry Regiment in the Weiyi District, escorted the troops to the south, and gave Sergeant Lakun the right to make ad hoc decisions and act cheaply. If necessary, he can take over the command and control the military law department of the military offenders! Issued by the General's Mansion, Month and Day! "
This secret order was obtained before the departure. In fact, although the horse thief had not been unsealed, before the departure, Xia had received him and told the horse thief officer the content of the military order.
In fact, the officer himself did not know how to read. If he was allowed to read the military order himself, he would be afraid that he would not recognize a single word.
At this critical moment, he took out a military order to "read out" and take over command, and decisively killed Stephen. The whole army immediately served, and no one expressed dissent.
After all, these cavalry are the first independent cavalry regiment in the Weiyi District. Everyone knows that it is the line of General Xia Ya among the entire Northern Army in the Weiwei District.
As for the horse thief officer's reading, the military orders were reversed, and no one noticed such harmless details.
※※※
After killing Stephen and successfully taking over the command, these horse thieves had no interest in staying here anymore, and immediately ordered the army to set off and cross the river to return to Hebei.
A team of more than 1,000 people returned in the same way. Returned to the north of the Agate River, but it took less than a day to walk to the throne of the Seal of God, and suddenly I heard the distant sound of horseshoes from the distance of the road!
A few horse thieves and cavalry suddenly became nervous.
After all, this is still the enemy occupied area! If the local army of the rebels came to chase them, I am afraid that even if they were not able to run, the cavalry could not run, but these infantry soldiers were afraid ...
The horse thieves immediately ordered the army away from the array to prepare for battle. Fortunately, the distant horseshoes roared, watching the dust flying, waiting for the opposing team to approach, and watching the flags picked up opposite them, the horse thieves were relieved and replaced them. , Is the look of surprise.
The cavalry that opened like a thunder, hit the banner of the first independent cavalry regiment in the northern guard area!
This cavalry team of two thousand rides from the northeast. The queue is majestic and rigorous. Obviously, it is the most elite cavalry team. The leading cavalry general sits on horseback and has a burly body. Qiu Shanjiao, a saddle hanging on the saddle, a covered iron, the mask pulled up, lù a well-defined square face.
But it is Shalpa!
Shalba took off from Denzel with a team of two thousand cavalry and escorts. He originally broke up in the new city. Shalba nominally took the army to the Corsica region to counter the rebellion, but he did not expect to run Come here to answer! !!
The two armies met, and Shalpa was shocked to hear that the queen had been lost! He is not from that horse thief. He is from a serious Rhoderian cavalry. He is regarded as the foundation of the regular army. Naturally it is clear how important the identity of the Queen is.
However, he did not have the power to execute this matter, because Xia ’s order was to let him lead the army to go to the Corsica region to rebel. In fact, he secretly took the cavalry south and asked him to take the army along. Swim along the north shore of the Agate River, ready to respond to the escorts of the North.
In this business, there is no danger in danger. Although 2,000 elite cavalry soldiers brought by Shalpa are already here for the rebels, they have 2,000 irons in their hands, unless the heads of the rebels have broken their brains. Run to provoke such an army of tigers and wolves.
"Two thousand elite cavalry" in the field, within a thousand miles, almost no opponent!
The only difficulty is that if you want to go down to meet this guard, you have to pass through the Besta site.
"Shalpa was given the Char ’s order" before he had to play the banner to go to Corsica to rebel. In fact, the team turned back halfway, then ran lightly, sneaked into the Besta area, and then the team rushed south. Passed through the Besta territory.
As for the Bestars who discovered that the northern army rushed into the country afterwards, naturally, the high-ranking garrison leaders and the Bestars went to fight this drool case.
On both sides of the meeting, Shalpa heard those horse thief officers tell the story of the encounter. "I heard that they killed Stephen and seized the command to persuade him. Shalpa just raised his eyebrows and sneered:" Go south? Hum, that wants to go to the imperial capital, and leaves by himself, but instead of trying to pull the team south to go to the imperial capital, that is betraying our northern army, killing well! "
"Stuck" before telling these horse thief officers: "I am here to meet you under the command of General Xia. The general's order is to let me bring you one thousand five hundred people back to Denzel City! "
※※※
At the same time as the cavalry and the guards of Shalpa converged, in the evening "the south bank of the Agate came from the east, and Mercedes came on the horse." Gently holding Charya's back, her hair fluttered in the wind.
A galloping horse, a mighty knight, a beautiful woman.
Such a picture should be beautiful under the setting sun, but the two people who are immediately at the moment are godless and yīn haze.
The longitudinal horse came to the river "that is where the ambush the night before, and Charya looked around." There were still traces of troops stationed here, but the horse and the horse were no longer visible.
He ran around again on horseback, and determined that there were no traces of people going south, and he determined one thing: the army that wanted to come has already crossed the river to go back to Hebei.
"We're late," Xia Ya said indifferently, "the Guards can't find you, and now the army has returned as compared to the secret order I left before."
Duffini sat on the horse's back and sighed quietly: "That's what you've arranged already."
Xia Ya raised an eyebrow: "Naturally yes, even to save you, I can't give up this thousand and five hundred horses at will. I have long planned that once you are rescued by me, the people who stay in the team will Take over the troops with my military order and lead the army back north. "
After a pause, Xia hesitated, and whispered, "I haven't thought about it before, and I will send you back after I save you!"
The words were so cold and cold, Defeny heard it, and felt a pain in her heart, couldn't help but whispered, "Xia Ya, I ..."
"Needless to say." Xia Yadan said indifferently, "I don't need to mention any family responsibilities or anything. I promised you that I will satisfy whatever your requirements are."
Defeny's heart trembled, and she felt that almost all the heartaches could not breathe. She gently pressed ōng's mouth with one hand, and then she could barely spit out: "But now, what should I do ... without the guard, I ... ..., ..., how come back to the Imperial Capital? "
Xia was silent for a moment, but suddenly turned his head, a pair of eyes with scary eyes, he stared at Daifini tightly and took a deep breath: "Defini, I ask you again ......... you, Are you really determined to return to the capital? I ... even if I let you stay, wouldn't you?
Defeny felt that she was staring at Charya's bright eyes, and there was a surge of blood in her heart, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "Yes! I do! I want to stay with you forever !!!"
... but she was swallowed immediately, just by the mouth.
Dafini stared into Char's eyes, but for a long time said nothing.
Seeing Defeni just looking at himself like that, but not talking, Charyana's bright eyes finally faded, and he turned his head back, ōng's creases, and he felt shortness of breath, and his heart moved.
Taking a deep breath several times, this barely suppressed the resentment in his heart, Xia Ya clenched the reins firmly, and then slowly released his palm.
"That being the case ... I'll send you back to the Imperial City myself!"
(On the bridge between Xia and Defeni, UU Reads www.uukanshu.com. Here, I know that many readers are fragile and cannot see the slightest tangle and repetition. But let me explain a little here: Even if the harem is written, it must be a bit technical. Some iterations and processes are essential. Anyway, this is a network YY novel, naturally it is impossible for everyone to appear unpleasant plots. In my own conceived characters In the process, I think that if you can immediately abandon everything to follow Xia, then it is not a character xìng grid like Defeny. A character xìng grid like a poor worm can do this kind of thing, but you can change it. This is a different situation. A woman who has been shaped into a political marriage tool since she was a child and bears family responsibilities, even if her husband is a rabbit and even kills herself, she is willing to torture the burden for years. The son has made a big twist. Consecrated Charya, already a woman like Defeny, can make the biggest change in the short term, and also the biggest she can make. Outrageous things. To immediately abandon everything, does not meet the characters xìng grid shape.
Of course, I didn't deliberately sprinkle dog blood to create sadness. This bridge is naturally also for the whole plot service.
There is no doubt that Dafini must belong to the soil in the end. )
