Chapter 87: Shock
Arslen Khan listened quietly, and Sobud told the story of the defeat.
He summed up Sobud's defeat. The first problem is that the new general of Kaipingwei is too brave and good at fighting, galloping on the battlefield, and no one can beat him.
The second question, the soldiers of Kaipingwei, I am afraid that they are the newly transferred troops from the Southern Dynasty, they are the elite of the elite, and everyone is wearing armor, and ordinary bows and arrows cannot shoot through at all.
The third problem, the formation of the Kaipingwei army, is very different from before. Invincible in offense and rock-solid in defense.
But these three things simply can't happen to the army all the time at the same time. So he suspected that Sobud was trying to shirk responsibility after the defeat. Deliberately exaggerate the strength of the enemy army.
The reason why Arslen Khan thinks Sobud is lying is because he says that the second question may happen.
Then the first case and the third case simply cannot appear in this world.
He is the Great Khan of the steppe, and he has seen many warriors, but he has never seen a man as brave as Sobud said, and if there is such a person, then he is not a man at all, but a god.
As for the third point, it is even more absurd. How can there be such an army and such a formation in the world.
Seeing the suspicious look on Arslen Khan's face, Sobud hurriedly defended to Arslen Khan: "Great Khan, I really didn't lie. This time not only am I back, but there are more than 1,000 defeated soldiers, if you don't believe me, you can find a few to ask to see if I am telling the truth. ”
Arslen Khan believed what he said at this time, and since Sobud dared to find someone to confront him, then eighty or ninety percent of what he said should be true.
Although some believed him, Arslen Khan instead ordered his guards to select a few of the defeated soldiers of the Tumo tribe and bring them into the king's tent.
Soon, the guards entered the king's tent with several defeated soldiers.
Arslen Khan also knew one of them, this is the warrior of the steppe - Ugisglang, the martial courage of their three brothers, even Arslen Khan was very envious, and once asked Sobud for a few of these people, but they were all refused. But at this time, he was as embarrassed as Sobud, and his face was full of fear.
When these men entered the king's tent, they immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed.
Arslen Khan looked at their nests, and did not let them get up, and said to them directly: "I heard that this time you met a fierce general on the battlefield, and no one in the Tumo tribe is his opponent, right?" ”
These defeated soldiers, when they heard Arslen Khan's question, knew who he was talking about, and couldn't help but think of Jia Ke's bravery on the battlefield, the battle armor with white light on the battlefield, waving a painted halberd like a meteor, and running like a flying dragon's war horse. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but tremble, they never wanted to see this devil again. He is not human at all, he is the greatest enemy of the Immortal Heaven on this earth, the devil.
Seeing that he just mentioned a word, Arslen Khan was so frightened that the defeated soldiers below trembled, as if they were about to collapse on the ground at any time, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in his heart, what kind of person is he? It can scare the warriors of this steppe like this.
Seeing that they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, Arslen Khan was very angry, and he asked directly to Ugisgran: "Ugisgrang, you are a warrior in the steppe, you should be like the stars in the sky, look at you as cowardly as you are now, are you still a warrior of the Tatars?" ”
Hearing the Great Khan's question, Ugisgran calmed down a little, he raised his head, looked at Arslen Khan, and said with a cry in his tone: "Great Khan, that person is not a human at all, he is a devil. Countless of our warriors have been killed by him, as have my two brothers. Even the number one warrior of our Tumo tribe, Wu Enqi, was killed by him, we really have no choice, every time we attack, as long as we think about facing that man, we don't have any courage, and many warriors in our tribe don't even dare to look at him. It's not our fault that the Great Khan is the man. ”
Arslen Khan looked at Ugisgran in front of him and was stunned, this time he believed that there really was such a brave person in the world. It is really enviable that there are such warriors in the Southern Dynasty, if such a warrior is his subordinate, he will give this warrior a tribe of tens of thousands of people.
Arslen Khan thought that he had figured out the cause and effect, and that this warrior must be too powerful, and the cavalry of the Tumo tribe was defeated by the ironclad army led by him.
Since Arslen Khan figured out the reason, he asked Sobud and Ugisgran to retreat and rest, waiting for news from the other tribes before making plans.
Kaipingwei did not let his guard down after the big victory over the Tumo Division. Jia Ke ordered Feng Mo to lead the cavalry and patrol non-stop within a radius of a hundred miles. In case other Tatar tribes came to attack.
At the same time, Huang Baifeng ordered that the young man should continue to train and not relax until he was completely safe.
After assigning tasks to Kaipingwei, Jia Ke wrote a military report to Wang Tao, the envoy of Xuanfu Town, reporting that he had good news, Kaipingwei broke the Tatar cavalry in the field battle, beheaded 3,200 people, and captured more than 600 people. His own casualties exceeded two hundred, so please hurry up and replenish his manpower in case the Tatars attack again.
After writing the military newspaper, put it in an envelope, seal it with wax and cover it with the seal of Kaiping Wei Qianhu.
Then, he handed over the military report to Liu Yu and asked him to personally hand it over to Wang Tao, the envoy of Jiedu, and then brought the reply of the envoy of Jiedu back to Kaipingwei.
Liu Yu took the military report from Jia Ke to the Jiedu envoy, rode a fast horse, and hurried to Xuanfu Town day and night. When I arrived outside Xuanfu Town, I found that the city gates were heavily guarded and closed.
Liu Yu shouted up from under the city: "I am the messenger of Kaipingwei, and I have come to send emergency military information to the envoy of Jiedu on the order of Lord Qianhu. Open the door and let me in. ”
When the soldiers from upstairs heard his words, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to their superiors. The city gate official listened to the report of his subordinates, saying that Kaipingwei had sent an urgent military situation, and he wanted to report to the Jiedu envoy, and knew that he should not go to the city immediately if he was delayed, and looked carefully below. As soon as he saw this person, he knew him, and the last time he was also this person who sent a letter to the Jiedu envoy. Only then did he put his mind at ease and shouted to the below: "This brother, you wait below, I will go to report to the Jiedu envoy, now the city gate has been sealed, and no one is allowed to open the city gate without the order of the Jiedu envoy, and the commander will be beheaded." ”
Liu Yu arched his hand below and said, "This lord, please." ”
The city gate official nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to go to the Jiedu Embassy immediately to report to Wang Tao.
At this time, Wang Tao, the envoy of the festival, was in the room, restless. As one of the nine important towns of the dynasty, Xuanfu Town has always been at the forefront of the defense against the Tatars. This time, the Tatars, regardless of their reputation, suddenly broke the side and broke the tacit understanding between the two sides for many years.
In the past, although the Tatars violated from time to time, they were all petty fights. Except for Kaipingwei, who is at the forefront, everything else is fine. Unexpectedly, this year, the Tatars committed a large number of border crimes, and many passes in Xuanfu Town were breached. The Tatars used Xuanfu Town as a pasture, burning, killing and looting, and did everything.
He also received an internal military report that this year not only his Xuanfu Town, but also other important border towns were also attacked by the Tatars. Now Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, and Liaodong. All were attacked by the Tatars.
So far, this dynasty has been defended everywhere, and it cannot be defended everywhere. The losses were so heavy that they had never been seen since the beginning of the dynasty.
I heard that the emperor was furious, and the summons to reprimand the envoys of the towns were already on the way.
