The rider on horseback was clearly not satisfied with the speed. He anxiously whipped the horse again, clamping his legs tightly around the horse's belly and urging it on: "Go!"
Ji Changying was feeling strange when he saw that the horse under him seemed to be unable to bear the weight and tripped over a small bump on the ground.
"hiss--"
The horse cried out in pain and fell to the ground with its owner, making a dull thud.
Ji Changying hadn't expected such a sudden change. She stopped and watched the man on the ground struggling to stand up for a while, then crawled towards the horse, panting heavily: "Get up! Get up!"
The horse lay on the ground, its body heaving and foaming at the mouth.
"Get up...get up! Don't fall!...We're almost there..."
The people on the ground looked at the performance of the horses and shouted in despair.
Ji Changying took out two water bags and walked towards the man and the horse with heavier footsteps: "Do you need help?"
The people on the ground did not feel surprised, but looked at Ji Changying warily.
She acted as if she didn't see it, took the water bag, opened the stopper and poured a little into the horse's mouth, and sprinkled the rest on the horse's body in an attempt to make it more comfortable.
The man on the ground finally saw that the person coming was a young girl. He hurriedly crawled forward and said, "Girl! I'm from the Wei Qingyi Army in Liangzhou. Please help me! Send a message to a man named Yang Jiang in Xiaotian Village! Tell him that the war has started and ask him to return quickly!"
Ji Changying gasped. Isn’t Yang Jiang General Yang?
"Are you from the Blue Wing Army? The barbarians are attacking?!"
"Yes, my leg is broken, otherwise I..."
The man on the ground hadn't even finished his words when Ji Changying picked him up, threw him on his back, and started running.
The scout who delivered the letter was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Ji Changying: "Miss?"
"Don't talk too much, I'll take you to see them!"
After hearing the news, Ji Changying could no longer remain calm and ran towards Oda Village like a wild horse.
The scout on her back was in a daze, wondering how this girl could run faster than riding a horse while carrying him on her back.
Ji Changying rushed to the village and headed straight for the wheat field. The person on his back saw the tents stationed there before he could even see the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.
He almost cried for joy.
“Who is it?”
The guards saw a figure vigilantly pointing a spear at Ji Changying.
"Two sisters, it's me!"
Ji Changying stopped and looked at them anxiously.
"Miss Ji? Why did you come here in the middle of the night without telling anyone?"
"To make a long story short, the barbarians are attacking, and I'm carrying this man on my back to inform you of the news. Take me to see the princess and the others!"
Ji Changying finished explaining quickly, and then saw the two guards' faces change: "Follow me!"
One of them took Ji Changying and ran to Song Ruqing's tent, while the other went to various places to inform the news.
The entire camp was brightly lit up at the fastest speed.
When Ji Changying and his men rushed in, Zhonglizhou and Song Ruqing were talking.
Seeing her suddenly run in, Zhonglizhou frowned: "You..."
"Hurry, hurry, tell them the news!"
Ji Changying saw a chair and put the scout on it, urging him to explain the situation quickly.
The scout didn't have the guts to do that. As soon as Ji Changying put him down, he struggled to his knees, holding up a token with a solemn expression. "At noon today, the scout team discovered that the barbarians were marching at night and hiding during the day. They bypassed the Ganliang River and came from the mountains and forests south of Tielingwei and west of Liangzhou! Fighting has already begun in Liangzhou. The prince has ordered his men to guard the west, and Captain Kou is stationed in the south to be vigilant at all times. I, under the prince's order, ask the prince to return quickly!"
Song Ruqing and Zhong Lizhou's expressions became solemn. He just stood up and took the token to take a look when he heard someone outside the door shouting, "Report!!!"
A Red Sleeves soldier hurried in: "There's something unusual on the mountain. An unknown group of people is coming around!"
Song Ruqing turned and looked at Zhonglizhou: "Come back quickly, I'm here!"
"Can you see the enemy's numbers, troops, and equipment?"
Zhonglizhou did not agree with Song Ruqing and asked the Hongxiu Army.
The person who came to report the news had a grim expression on his face: "I can't see clearly, but I heard there are more than thousands of people!"
Ji Changying's mental power has spread like wildfire to cover an area of dozens of miles.
Sure enough, a path had been trampled out by horse hooves on the endless mountains at some point in time.
About two thousand fat, strong and sturdy cavalrymen were rushing towards here, their faces and bodies covered in blood, and their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.
"I heard some noise. They're less than three miles away! Don't waste time. Make a decision quickly. I'll go back and inform everyone first!"
Ji Changying was worried about the situation at home and the people in the Ji family, so she ran back to inform them of the news.
Mr. Huang, who had just put on his clothes and shoes and came out, saw her and disappeared before he could call out to her.
Ji Changying returned home and kicked open the door: "Mom! Auntie! Get up quickly!"
Zhou seemed to hear someone shouting in her sleepy eyes. She sat up with a start and dressed as quickly as possible: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Mrs. Hu ran out barefoot: "What happened?"
Ji Changying looked anxious: "Hurry up and get dressed and grab your weapons, the barbarians are coming!"
"What?!!!"
Mrs. Hu was stunned.
This damn barbarian is here again? ! !
Ji Changying no longer cared about these things. She let Zhenzhu out and ran while shouting, "Get up! The barbarians are coming!"
She ran and shouted towards the big clock at the entrance of the village.
“Bang—”
The sound startled everyone and their confused minds instantly became clear.
"The big bell at the village entrance! Enemy attack!!!"
"The barbarians are here again?!"
"Get up! Get up!!!"
“Dongdongdong——”
Ji Changying felt that the bell was too far away from people, so she took the bell and ran to the most crowded place in the village:
"Women! Children! Elderly! Go to Ji's house!"
"Women! Children! Elderly! Go to Ji's house!"
——
"Zhou'er! This is serious business, don't let your emotions get in the way. Return quickly! When you pass by Gan County, go to the garrison and inform them to come over to provide some support!"
Zhong Lizhou's face was cold. "With less than a thousand Red Sleeves soldiers, how can we fight the enemy? Lieutenant General Yang, go get some reinforcements. I'll stay and help you!"
"Don't mess around! Liangzhou still needs people to guard it, go back!"
Song Ruqing said sternly: "Listen to me and go back!"
Zhongli Zhou was still a little hesitant.
Intellectually he knew what was the right thing to do, but this was his mother!
How could she lead the Red Sleeves Army of less than a thousand people to fight against thousands of enemy troops?
Whether we can hold on until support arrives is a question!
"You go back!"
Jiang Qianruo walked in at some point and spoke to Zhong Lizhou with a calm expression.
