Chapter 1340: An Unexpected Opportunity

No matter what happened, they couldn't stop Ashley and Shales's plan, but they had to be more cautious, after all, the Great Cannibals had ruled the land of Khorasan for more than a hundred years, and although they had changed from the suzerain's dynasty from white to black, the army's combat effectiveness and brutality were better than before.

Take the former governor of Khorasan, Abbas, for example, who slaughtered more than 3,000 Sogdians in one day.

The Sogdians have endured more than a hundred years in such a hostile environment without giving in, and this is the unique resilience of their bones at work.

Ashley glanced at his brother, then looked up at the sky where he couldn't see his fingers, exhaled, and said:

"Tonight's night raid is canceled!"

Shales nodded approvingly.

"Well, if the big cannibals make a move, it proves that they have discovered something, at this sensitive time, we must be cautious, we can't let the warriors of the Ye'er Department die in vain!"

Hearing this, Ashley gave Shales a blank look.

"Brother is so timid, tonight's night attack was canceled because of the dark clouds, and it was about to rain, I don't want the warriors of the Ye'er Department to get sick because of the change in the weather!"

Ashley sneered in his heart that his elder brother was called steady by the elders of the clan, but he seemed to be too timid, and he was always timid in doing things.

However, he also admits that he is usually impulsive and even a little reckless, and having his brother here can just make up for his shortcomings.

After the initial impulse, Ashley knew that his decision to take someone out to avenge his sister was indeed hasty, but now that he had come out, he did not turn back from his bow, and he could only do his best, more carefully than in any previous battle.

The night was really windy, and the rain crackled like popping beans, and the warriors of Ye'er were hiding in a makeshift shelter, shivering in the cold and rainy night, looking forward to the moment when the sun rose at dawn.

Ashley hibernates like a wolf waiting for revenge, with a faint glint in his eyes.

For a moment, Shales even felt that he didn't even know this brother a little.

In his preconceived impression, Ashley had always been an impulsive and reckless man, and had never had such patience as he did now.

Finally, the rain stopped, the sky turned from pitch black to gray, the sun went beyond the ground at the end of the horizon, and everything on the grassland was revived at this moment.

The warriors of Ye'er have been waiting all night, and now it's time to set out to hunt.

According to the Ashley brothers' plan, they never engage a large food squad of more than ten people, and only grabbed the lone big food ranger to fight to the death.

This is not only safe, but also effective in killing the big cannibals, although the number of people killed is a little less, but it can add up, once this kind of harassment becomes the norm, it will cause a lasting blow to the morale of the big cannibals.

The Great Cannibals packed up their camp and headed north, discarding a lot of their supplies along the way, with the Ashley brothers picking up a lot of goodies after them.

Along the way, Shales sighed again and again:

"The big cannibals are really defeated, looking at the things dropped along the way, you can guess that their military orders are already difficult to effectively enforce, and even military discipline may be wrong!"

Ashley couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes and smiled:

"Brother thinks that the big cannibal wants to be kicked out of the house, the vicious dog?"

This is a bad thing, but it is far from being able to vent his hatred for the big cannibals, in fact, at this moment, he can't wait to catch those big cannibals one by one and cut them in pieces.

Ashley had the best relationship with his sister since he was a child, and he often played and herded together until he became an adult, and he married to Shanbei in the need to win over his brother tribe.

But who would have thought that it would lead to today's tragedy, if he had known that he would die at the hands of the great cannibal, Ashley would have done his best to prevent his sister from marrying to Shanbei.

However, no one is a prophet, it is impossible to predict the future, and naturally it is impossible to avoid tragedy.

Thinking about it, Ashley's eyes turned red unconsciously, and tears rolled in his eyelids.

Seeing the sudden change in his brother's expression, Sha Lie smiled, this is the Ashley he is familiar with, he loves to cry and laugh, and he is impulsive and daring. If it was as gloomy as last night, it was really a different person, and it was not the younger brother he wanted to see.

Hatred can make a person brave or a person despicable.

Although the people on the steppe have always admired only the strong, no matter how indescribable the process is, most of them only look at the final victory.

Shales looked at his new brother who was carefree and troublesome everywhere, and he didn't know what Ashley would become if this trend continued, maybe he could become a qualified and ruthless tribal leader, maybe he could become a famous general of the steppe, and even the big cannibals were terrified......

After all, Shales was a person who liked comfort in his heart, but he also knew that the peace of Ye'erbu did not exist from the moment Tang Ren appeared.

He should know that all comfort and tranquility are illusions, that the Great Cannibals have compressed the living space of the Sogdians beyond any longer, and that if this situation is allowed to continue, it will not take twenty years for the Sogdians living in Khorasan to be wiped out.

The appearance of the Tang people did not create trouble for the Sogdians, but brought them an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and perhaps even a chance to turn over.

Therefore, no matter how much Shales dislikes and is unhappy, he is unwilling and cannot allow the opportunity to be missed.

After sunrise, Shales personally led his retinue and hunted down more than twenty Great Food Ranger in a company, and also captured a centurion alive.

It is necessary to keep a living mouth for the army generals of the Great Eclipse, one of the generals knows more news about the Great Eclipse Army, and on the other hand, it can also be used to capture prisoners when they are forced to do so.

Of course, the Ashley brothers were very cautious, and for days they did not encounter a group of more than 100 people, and there was no engagement on a slightly larger scale, let alone a capture.

Therefore, the main purpose of keeping alive is to explore the movements of the Great Food Army.

From the mouth of the centurion, the Ashley brothers learned the shocking news that the barbarian Khazars in the north had actually sent someone to contact the fugitive prince of the Great Eclipse, Mahdi, and said that they could accept them as Yusuf.

When Shales heard this, he judged that it would be humiliating in itself to put Mahdi on a par with Yusuf in terms of his pride, and even if he really had the intention of temporarily attaching himself to the Khazars, it now seemed that he could not.

There is even the possibility of a big war between the two sides.

No one expected that the opportunity would come.
