Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

In the city called Wancheng hundreds of miles away, the 20 Chu troops led by Jingyang are looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the arrival of the support army.

Can Wei Wuji arrive at Wancheng in time?

To be honest, Wei Wuji didn't care about this matter at all.

Chapter 3 Forty Escape (Second Change)

Yan State, Wu Yuan.

A carriage was advancing rapidly on the snow, and the wheels made two deep ruts on the snow.

Beside the carriage, there were more than a dozen knights on horseback guarding both sides.

These knights all looked rustic and simple, and many of them had injuries on their faces and bodies. It was obvious that they had experienced many battles before this.

It was the season when the snow had just started to melt. The horseshoes stepped on the road and stirred up countless snowflakes and mud, making the road even more muddy.

The sun had already reached the very center of the sky, and the sunlight shone down from the sky, bringing some inconspicuous warmth to the world.

Not long after, the city wall of Wuyuan City was already in sight.

At this time, a knight beside the carriage suddenly said loudly: "Let's take a rest in the woods ahead."

So the convoy quickly stopped in a small forest on the side of the road.

The knights seemed to have a lot of experience in this kind of rapid march. They just stopped and settled their horses, and then began to sit down and silently took out dry food and water to eat and drink, and many of them bandaged the wounds of their injured companions.

A young knight walked towards the carriage with dry food and clear water in big strides. Just as he got to the front of the carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

A young woman dressed in ordinary women's clothes but with a somewhat noble appearance showed her head, and asked the young man in front of her, "Mr. Chang, have you arrived in Zhao State?"

The young knight shook his head, and said to the woman in front of him, "Wuyuan City has been the territory of Yan State since the Battle of Changping, so it's hard to say it's safe at this moment."

This young knight is none other than Le Jian, Lord Chang of the Yan Kingdom, and the young woman is, needless to say, the Queen of Yan born with Zhao Dan and his mother.

Seeing the worried expression on Queen Yan's face, Le Jian hastily comforted him: "You don't have to worry, Queen. Judging from the current pace, you can reach the territory of Zhao State at most at sunset."

After a pause, Lejian continued to ask, "Is Young Master Ke ever well?"

Empress Yan nodded, moved her body slightly, and revealed a small head from the carriage: "I have fallen asleep."

Lejian didn't say any more, and handed the clear water and dry food in his hand: "I also ask the queen to give in for the time being."

Empress Yan took the dry food, but she didn't immediately put her head back into the carriage, but glanced at Le Jian, and said very seriously: "Mr. Chang, if you can succeed this time, the old lady will definitely seal you Yan Guo Xiangbang."

Lejian didn't say much, but bowed solemnly to Queen Yan.

After half a quarter of an hour, Le Jian stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Those who followed Le Jian were all members of the Le clan, each of them was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also loyal.

After hearing Lejian's order, they immediately got up and led the horses, surrounded the carriage and headed south.

There was a sound of hooves, smoke and dust billowed, and everything seemed to be going well.

But Le Jian never dared to relax his vigilance in his heart.

Because Le Jian knew very well that the sons An and Rong Yan, who had already controlled the power of the Yan Kingdom, would never allow the Queen of Yan and the son Ke to leave the Yan Kingdom and enter the Zhao Kingdom in such a safe manner.

In the past two days, Le Jian has already dealt with two pursuits, and it was these two attacks that made the tribe around Le Jian change from 100 people to a dozen people today.

Time passed by, and the imaginary enemy never appeared, and Le Jian gradually relaxed.

But at this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded in Le Jian's ear.

"Your Majesty, there are cavalrymen appearing in Wuyuan City!"

"What?" Lejian's heart sank, and he immediately turned his gaze to Wuyuan Castle.

Sure enough, the originally closed gate of Wuyuan City suddenly opened wide at this moment, and a group of Yan Army cavalry with at least [-] people drove out of the city, heading straight for Lejian.

Lejian took a deep breath, pulled the reins of the horse suddenly, and shouted sharply: "Leling Lechang, bring your men and follow me, we must stop these Yan Kingdom cavalry!"

Le Jian gave an order, and ten members of the Le clan followed behind Le Jian, and rushed directly towards the Yan Kingdom cavalry who came to intercept him.

The remaining five cavalrymen continued to guard the carriage that Queen Yan was in, and marched towards the southwest without stopping.

The distance between the two sides shortened rapidly, and soon reached within a hundred steps.

Le Jian flipped his hands over, and the longbow that was originally carried behind his back was already in his hands.

"Whoosh!" The bow and arrow flew across the air like a shooting star, and hit a cavalry at the front of the Yan Army cavalry with incomparable accuracy, piercing the heart of the Yan Army cavalry directly.

The LeTV people behind Lejian also bent their bows and shot arrows at the Yan army cavalry.

These members of the Le clan are all battle-tested people, and many of them have participated in the war against Donghu. Therefore, not only are they excellent in riding skills, they are also very outstanding in shooting skills, and they shot the frontmost Yan army cavalry at once Many dead and shot.

Le Jian was about to continue to bend his bow and set his arrows, when suddenly he let out a loud cry, and he threw himself on the horse's back, protecting the neck of the horse under his crotch.

"Whoosh!" An arrow flew across Le Jian's head, and the strong wind made Le Jian's scalp numb.

Lejian thought it was a fluke in his heart, if his reaction was half a beat slower, maybe he would end up with a head piercing directly.

Several screams came from behind Le Jian, apparently someone from the Le clan was shot by an arrow.

As soon as Le Jian got up straight from his horse, the cavalry of the Yan Army had already arrived in front of him.

"Death!" Le Jian dropped his bow and arrow, pulled out his long sword from his waist, and slashed at the head of an oncoming Yan Army cavalryman.

The two horses staggered past, and a bloody light suddenly appeared. Amidst the screams, Le Jian directly cut off the right hand holding the sword of the Yan Army cavalryman, and his arm flew into the sky.

Warm blood splashed on Le Jian's face, and the strong smell of blood began to spread from the tip of Le Jian's nose.

But Lejian didn't have any joy or other thoughts at all, because in the next moment, another Yan army cavalry with a weapon appeared in his sight, vowing to cut him off his horse.

After a very intense but short-lived bloody cavalry charge, Le Jian, who had no enemies in front of him, reined in his horse and turned around slowly.

In the confrontation just now, Le Jian slashed at every enemy with a sword, and beheaded all five enemies.

The price Le Jian paid was two sword strikes on his waist and abdomen, and an extra wound on his left calf.

Severe pain came from the wound, which made Le Jian almost faint from the pain.

Lejian tried his best to stabilize his figure, but when he took a closer look, he realized that only four of the ten members of the Le clan who had just rushed into the battle with him were still standing behind him.

On the other hand, although the Yan State cavalry on the other side lost more than a dozen people, there were still more than [-] cavalry on the opposite side of Lejian.

Le Jian let out a miserable laugh, and said to the four knights behind him, "Today, I have made you a burden."
