Chapter 68: The Battle of the Royal Court (Part II)

As dusk approached, the Rongdi herdsmen living around the royal court had begun to drive their free-range cattle and sheep back to the royal court's sheepfold, and the women shouted to the children who were playing outside, calling them home to enjoy the roasted lamb and fragrant cheese.

In the center of the royal residence, a huge white tent, at the door stood several tall Rongdi men, a man in a gorgeous robe and a woman also dressed in gorgeous clothes in the center, this is the king of Rongdi Ulu and his queen Tarim, both of them will stand in front of the tent that symbolizes the supreme power of Rongdi at this time of day every day, watching their people live happily around them.

Ulu looked at the scenery in the royal court and asked the guards beside him, "Zalihe, have you come back from the warriors who went out to exterminate the Qin army?"

Zari bowed slightly to the king beside him, and replied, "Not yet, my lord, do you want to send someone to inquire again?"

Uru nodded, "Alright, I'll send a warrior to ride forward and see how it goes." This group of Qin people is really bold, they actually deceived our scouts and came to our grassland, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead, since you are here this time, then welcome you with the highest etiquette of our Rong Di. ”

"My lord, do we have the highest etiquette in Rongdi?" asked Queen Tarim coquettishly.

Uru looked at the young and beautiful queen beside him and said, "Of course, the highest etiquette of our Rongdi is to send him to our gods. This time we attacked the border of Qin, and lost a lot of men and horses, if we can exterminate this Qin people who dare to invade the grassland, it is just right to show those Huns our strength, so that they will not dare to think about us again. With that, Ulu led his queen into the king's tent behind him, and began to enjoy the fragrant roasted mutton brought by the servant.

This time, the Rongdi people sent troops to attack the border of Daqin, firstly, because the Rongdi tribe on the grassland this year had less rain, and the grassland died in a large area, and many herdsmen had to migrate to settle around the big tribes, so that the original ecological balance was broken, and the alternation of autumn and winter was originally the season when the grassland hoarded grain and grass for the winter, and now the grain and grass are insufficient, so Ulu and the leaders of several large tribes decided to send troops to raid the border of Qin, hoping to grab some supplies. I didn't expect this year's Qin army to be so smart, after a defeat with Rong Di's cavalry, they cowered behind the Great Wall and did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, and even secretly sent a force to invade the grassland, fortunately last night there was a scout who came back from the front line to report that they found their traces, but I didn't expect this Qin team to come to the door of his royal court, which made Ulu very angry, so he sent people to a large tribe closer to call for reinforcements overnight, ready to come back and forth to eliminate this Qin army.

A soldier ran into the king's tent in a panic, and Ulu, who was enjoying the roast meat handed to his mouth from the queen's hand, hurriedly sat up straight and asked him, "How is it, is it that Qin people have been wiped out?"

The soldier knelt on the ground and stammered, "Go back to ...... Back to the king, that Qin ...... The Qin people have been killed, please ask the king and queen to leave quickly. ”

"What did you say?" said Uru, when a shout of slaughter came from outside the king's tent, followed by the sound of horses' hooves trampling the land. Ulu understood that the army of the Qin people was not wiped out by his own warriors, but instead entered his own king's tent.

Immediately afterwards, Zarihe also broke into the king's tent and knelt on the ground: "The king, the queen, the army of the Qin people has come in, and now the guards of the royal court are left to fight against them, please retreat quickly for the king and queen, and the king and queen will be protected from the safe evacuation in the end." ”

"Okay, Zarih, you protect me and the queen, let's go. "Ulu and Tarim came out of the king's tent under the help of Zarihe and a few close guards, and the royal court, which had been beautiful for a quarter of an hour, was now full of firelight and the cries of women and children, and everywhere there were figures and shouts of killing.

Meng Tian, Zhao Li, and Du Hui rushed through the interception of the Rong Di people with their men and horses, and quickly rushed towards the royal court of the Rong Di people. Approaching the Rongdi royal court, Meng Tian ordered Zhao Li to take some people to outflank the surroundings, and he and Du Hui led people to ride horses and rushed straight into the royal court of the Rongdi people.

There are now about 500 royal court guards left in the royal court of the Rongdi people, and the rest of the Rongdi warriors have been sent out to attack the border of the Qin State, so the strength of the royal court is very empty now. Meng Tian rode into the royal court on a black wind, picked up one of the Rongdi soldiers who tried to block him at the door with a spear, and then plunged into the chest of another soldier behind this soldier, and then threw the two off the spear and continued to charge towards the inner court.

This time to attack the royal court of the Rongdi people, Meng Tian ordered everyone, whether it was a man or a woman, as long as anyone in the royal court was armed and resisted, they would be killed. Now that he has killed the royal court of the Rong Di people, it is natural to give these Hu people who dare to invade the border of Great Qin a little color.

After rushing into the royal court, Meng Tian saw the white royal tent in the center of the royal court at a glance, and Meng Tian said to Du Hui, who was slashing: "Brother Du, you take someone to solve all the rebellious Rongdi people in the royal court, and I will go to their royal tent." ”

Du Hui led the order to lead people to the side to kill, and Meng Tian rushed to the king's tent with the remaining men and horses. When Meng Tian rushed to the king's tent not far away, he happened to see Ulu and Queen Tarim, who were surrounded by Zalihe and several Rongdi soldiers from the king's tent, coming out of the king's tent. Meng Tian saw several people surrounding a gorgeously dressed man and a woman in the center, and understood that this should be the king of the Rongdi people, so Meng Tian immediately ordered his subordinates to surround the king's tent, and absolutely not let anyone out of the king's tent.

Meng Tian dismounted, holding the blood-dripping spear in his hand, and walked towards the surrounded Ulu and Tarim and the others step by step. Looking at a burly man who got down from a rare sweaty and bloody horse, walking over with a spear in his hand, and then looking at the many Qin soldiers around him who were riding on horses and surrounded him, Zalihe knew that it was impossible to escape with the king and queen, so he took out the scimitar that was carried at his waist, stood in front of the king and queen, and looked vigilantly at the Qin man who was walking towards him step by step.

Meng Tian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a Rongdi person who was about the same as himself pulling out his weapon to block him, and then he understood, it seemed that this person wanted to play with him. Meng Tian looked around, the resistance in the Rongdi royal court was getting smaller and smaller, and in the distance, Zhao Li and Du Hui's combined troops were also walking towards his side, and it seemed that the overall situation had been decided.

Meng Tian beckoned, a personal soldier ran over from behind, it was still the Qin soldier who could speak the Rongdi language, Meng Tian said to him: "You tell them that standing in front of them is Meng Tian, the general of the Great Qin Mengjia Army, and I want them to surrender immediately, if not, then I will kill everyone here." ”

After listening to this, the soldier expressed Meng Tian's meaning to Ulu and the others in the Rongdi language. After listening, Zarihe turned his head to look at the king behind him, Ulu saw that the commander of the Qin people was so domineering, he couldn't help but feel a little timid, seeing Zarihe looking at him, Ulu asked: "Zarihe, do you have the confidence to defeat him?"

Zalihe turned his head and continued to look at Meng Tian, and said, "The last general doesn't dare to guarantee, but the last general guarantees that the last will die in front of the king." ”

Ulu said: "Okay, worthy of being the first warrior of my Rongdi, Zalihe, if you defeat the commander of the Qin people, I will make you the deputy Khan of my Rongdi." ”

Zalihe said to Meng Tian in Rongdi: "I am Zarihe, the captain of the Rongdi Royal Court Guard, and I want to challenge you. ”

After listening to the soldier's translation, Meng Tian smiled and said, "Tell him that I accept his challenge, but since you want to challenge me, you have to show a little sincerity and tell him that if I win, I want all of them to follow me back to Daqin, and if I lose, I will let them all leave." ”

After hearing this, the soldier was a little worried: "General, this Zari He is said to be the first warrior of Rongdi, and he can once fight with tigers and wolves with his bare hands, is the general sure that he can win him?"

Meng Tian said: "Whether you can win or not, you won't know until you fight, you just have to tell him what I said." ”

The soldier relayed Meng Tian's words to Zalihe, who couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that the other party had accepted his challenge, the king and queen finally had a glimmer of life, even if they fought for their own lives, they had to save the king and queen.

Meng Tian waved his hand around, and the surrounding Qin soldiers understood what the general meant, and began to retreat, leaving an open space for Meng Tian. Meng Tian handed the spear in his hand to Du Hui, then drew his war knife and walked to the center of the field. Zarihe looked at the king behind him, then turned his head and walked to the center of the field, ready for the next fight.
