Chapter 356 Suspicion

In a war era where hot weapons had not yet been developed and cold weapons were the mainstay, cavalry was undoubtedly a sharp weapon.

Even if it is just light cavalry, when it reaches a certain number, it is enough to break up troops several times larger than one's own, resulting in a devastating defeat.

The Tatars immediately began to charge as soon as they met, perhaps this was the purpose. Do not give the enemy time to prepare in order to achieve the purpose of surprise.

But the Tatars obviously miscalculated.

The other party not only occupies a convenient location...

It is a beach, with a cliff several feet high from the river beach behind it, and a slope in front.

The opponent was condescending. When the cavalry charged, the opponent used arrows, crossbows, firecrackers, etc., which had already caused considerable casualties to them.

Moreover, in addition to the convenient location, the opponent has obviously completed their formation.

Seeing that the large group of cavalry was about to rush into the enemy camp, the officers and soldiers who formed the formation quickly retreated, and then killed a large number of cavalry from the opponent's left, center and right at the same time!

Before there was any time to react, the cavalry on both sides had already started a life-and-death fight, and the sound of killing was loud.

On the other side, the observation place where Jia Lian is.

Princess Zhaoyang put on the smart clothes she had worn in Beijing and came in a dashing and heroic manner.

She took a look at the battle ahead, and then asked: "How is the situation? "

Jia Lian shook his head, not wanting to worry Princess Zhaoyang too much, so he briefly explained the situation.

But it suddenly stopped, because at this time, the third prince Wala came over with several personal guards.

Princess Zhaoyang glanced at him and suddenly asked: "Dare you ask Your Excellency, Third Prince Lu, what is going on."

The two countries formed an alliance, and Wala Fengda Wei is a state, at least before getting married, Princess Zhaoyang has a higher status than Prince Wala, so she can question him directly.

The Third Prince of Wala hurriedly said: "Princess, forgive me, I don't know why these barbaric Tatars are here, and I am also very angry.

When I return, In the royal city, I will report this matter to Mingfu Khan thoroughly, and I will definitely give an explanation to the princess!"

Prince Wala said with sincerity and indignation.

Only when he lowered his head, a hint of displeasure flashed deep in his eyes.

Putting aside his plans, he is also the fiancé of Princess Zhaoyang, but the other party actually spoke to him in such a condescending manner!

She is indeed an unruly wifeTaoist woman.

After hearing Prince Wala’s answer, Princess Zhaoyang didn’t feel like saying anything more at this time, so she turned to look at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian stared at the third prince of Oara, "Such a large number of Tatar cavalry have crossed your Oara defense line. And judging from their appearance, it is obvious that they are coming straight towards us. To this, the third prince said Is there no other explanation?"

"General Jia, please do not be angry. I am also very shocked and angry when something like this happens.

But it is a pity that we should be prepared for the Tatar invasion. Setting up a defensive line in the east has always been the mission of my brother, the second prince.

"It must have been his negligence, or..."

Speaking of this, the third prince of Wala Suddenly he showed a look of loneliness and sighed: "I traveled thousands of miles to the capital of the supreme kingdom without even taking any followers, just to hide it from the Tatars.

" But I can hide the Tatars. But I can't hide it from my second brother.

General Jia is so smart, he should understand the cruelty of the fight for the throne. Maybe these people are coming for me.

If that’s the case, it’s me who has caused trouble for both of you.”

The third prince of Wala said, bowing to Jia Lian and the other two, his words were sincere and his expression was lonely.

Such a reasonable and sincere explanation almost made him believe it himself.

Jia Lian looked at him with squinted eyes and suddenly said coldly: "I don't care what the fight between your Oara royal family is like, but if it hurts our princess even a little bit, the third prince should know the consequences."

The third prince of Wala glanced at Jia Lian.

This was the first time since he met Jia Lian that Jia Lian spoke to him so rudely.

Although Jia Lian’s official position in the Wei Dynasty was not low, compared with his status, it was still far behind.

Even within the system of the Wei Dynasty, he was still a king of Bijun. Because the title given to his father Khan by the Wei Dynasty was the first among the princes! After being named "Khan" this time, he surpassed the prince and became a "brother" to the Emperor of Wei.

If calculated in this way, he can even be regarded as a king, and Jia Lian is a minister.

Jia Lian’s disrespect for him was the following.

Of course, he would not offend Jia Lian at this time, so he said sternly: "General Jia said yes. To express my determination to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I am willing to go into battle in person to kill the intruders. The enemy!

General Jia, are you willing to join me?"

The third prince of Wala was wearing armor and a sword. He was obviously ready to go into battle, and at this moment Invite Jia Lian.

"The third prince can do as he pleases. My duty is to protect the safety of the princess."

The third prince was slightly surprised when he heard Jia Lian's refusal, but he didn't say anything more and handed over his hand. , turned and left.

Yuan Dao is a powerful person, but it turns out that he is also a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so there is nothing to worry about.

"How is it, what can you tell?"

After the third prince of Wala left, Princess Zhaoyang approached Jia Lian for a while.

Jia Lian shook his head, "Although this man has a rough appearance, he has a cunning character. The princess should be more careful with him in the future..."

Thinking that it is inappropriate to say this, after all, according to the will , when they arrived at the court of King Wala, the two of them were about to get married under the auspices of King Wala.

Then he added: "At least before arriving at the King's Court of Wala."

Princess Zhaoyang raised her eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and turned around to observe the battle ahead.

This was the first time she faced a wet battlefield. Although some scenes of blood and flesh making her instinctively feel uncomfortable, she still forced herself to remain calm and squinted her eyes slightly.

Jia Lian saw her situation and advised: "Princess, don't worry, there is not much to worry about in the current situation. Princess, it is better to go back to the tent to rest first. After the enemy is defeated, I will return." Report the battle situation to the princess."

"That's fine."

Knowing that she might be upset with Jia Lian here, Princess Zhaoyang nodded and left with her maid. .

The general of the Imperial Guard who was responsible for closely protecting the princess was about to leave, but saw Jia Lian waving to him.

He walked over without hesitation.

　"What are your orders, General?"

　"Do you know your mission on this trip?"

　"..., swear to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess to the death. Safety!"

"Very good!"

Jia Lian patted the shoulder of the Forbidden Army officer, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "This time we are far away from the capital, and suddenly With so many Tatar cavalry appearing, I am worried that their target is Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Therefore, I order you to lead your three hundred Forbidden Army soldiers from now on and guard the Princess at all times. Left and right.

No matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave your post without authorization. Unless I, the general, and all the troops in the Beijing camp are killed by the enemy, you are not allowed to participate in the battle.

This is a military order, you understand."

Hearing this, the officer-in-charge of the Forbidden Army was deeply impressed by Jia Lian's courage. He immediately straightened his posture and responded in a deep voice: "The general will obey! "

Jia Lian glanced at the distance again. The third prince of Wala actually put on armor and mounted his horse, rushing into the melee with dozens of guards.

"In addition, Give you a task.

We will closely monitor the third prince of Wala. If they want to get close to the princess without being summoned, or if they make any other unusual move, they will be killed without mercy. There is no need to ask me or the princess for instructions. "

"This..."

The Forbidden Army feels embarrassed. The two countries have formed an alliance. Prince Wala has a distinguished status, but he is only a small fourth- and fifth-grade general.< br />
After all, Jia Lian was trusted by the emperor and the princess, and he was one of his own, so he asked in a low voice: "Do you mean to doubt Prince Wala? "

"It is too difficult for me, General, to go into details with you. You just need to understand your responsibilities. If anything goes wrong with Her Royal Highness, you and I, including everyone on this trip, will have no chance of survival.

At critical times, those who are determined and tenacious should shoulder important responsibilities.

If you don’t even have the guts to kill a foreign prince, how can you protect the safety of the princess? In this case, I, the general, will immediately remove you from your post and choose another person to protect the princess. "

"Yes, I humbly obey your orders! As long as they dare to do anything detrimental to the princess, I will kill them all. ”

　“Very good. ”

Jia Lian nodded and let the Imperial Guards take the lead.

His suspicion of the third prince of Vala was very simple.

No matter how the other party explained it , the Tatar cavalry crossed the border here, and the target was so precise, it must be collusion with someone on the Oara side.

Contact Wu Shiwei and others, saying that this third prince of Oara is full of ambition, warlike and cruel.

The politeness and reasonableness he displayed in front of the capital and all of them was suspicious.

In addition, since leaving Ganning Pass, his personal guards often left the team. ...Although the other party said before that it was to contact the royal court and the people who came to greet him.

It was reasonable before, but at this moment, it is enough to make people suspicious.

Although there is no evidence, the real battle has started now, so those are naturally not important.

Don’t talk about a prince, at this time it is King Wala If he dares to show his dissatisfaction in person, he will kill him directly.
