Chapter 922: Planning
It was only at this moment that Tang Ning realized that the horse thieves in the Western Regions had been rampant to such an extent.
In the final analysis, the root cause of the chaos in the entire Northwest is still Xiao Wan.
Xiao Wan kept annexing the countries of the Western Regions and strengthening himself, so that everyone in the Western Regions was in danger, even powerful countries like Da Yue and Wusun felt a strong threat in Xiao Wan.
The big countries themselves could not be protected, and the alliance between the countries of the Western Regions was naturally useless, which caused these horse thieves to lose their hearts and shift their targets from caravans to these small countries.
"Lord, we should ask other countries for help as soon as possible, only in this way can the country of Ukraine continue to ......" Knowing the methods of those horse thieves, Sadiq had a deep fear in his eyes, and even his voice trembled a little.
Downing asked, "What other countries are around here?" ”
Sadiq said: "Fox Hu, Che Shi Weidu, rob the country, Che Shi Hou Cheng ......, three days later, the horse thieves are coming, we can move to the rescue in three days, only these few countries." ”
[Note: This is an alternate world, this Western Regions is not the ancient Western Regions of China, and this country is not another country, readers should not sit in the right seat, the plot is not aimed at any nation, the Chinese nation is a ......]
Tang Ning continued to ask, "How is their strength?" ”
"Forty-five Huhu mercenaries, eighty-four mercenaries of Che Shi Lieutenant, one hundred and fifteen mercenaries of robbing countries, and two hundred ......and sixty mercenaries of Che Shi Houcheng" Sadiq is very familiar with the small countries around Ukraine, and he is also very familiar with the number of troops that each country has.
The situation in the Western Regions is somewhat special, only those big countries have the ability to build a country in the depths of the desert, and these small countries can only choose to gather at the edge of the desert in order not to be destroyed by the big countries, or not to be slaughtered by horse thieves, relying on the protection of the covenant of the countries and the state of Chen, which leads to the countries near the country of Wu Greed are all of the same level as them.
According to Chen's division of the strength of the countries in the Western Regions, with a population of less than 2,000, it can only be regarded as a small country of the Ding rank, and if it is calculated according to the strength of the country, the country of Wu is the most powerful country near here.
In addition to the old and the young, the people of the country of Wu are armed with weapons, plus the strength of these countries, against 1,500 horse thieves, even if they can win, it is a miserable victory, after a battle, it is very likely that the two countries will disappear, and those who survive will definitely not be able to resist the second wave of horse thieves.
Whether it is Chen or the Western Regions, many of the people who can't live in those days will choose to fall into the grass, which leads to the number of horse thieves in the desert like sand, and they can't kill endlessly, killing wave after wave, once these countries are greatly injured by some horse thieves, there will immediately be another group of horse thieves who are hungry wolves.
Tang Ning and his party, including the old beggar Lao Zheng and several elders, encountered 1,500 horse thieves on the desert, not to mention the greed, Tang Ning looked at Sadiq and said: "You quickly order people to go to Huhu, Cheshi Weidu, rob the country, and wait for the country to move the rescue troops back to the city......"
"Yes!" This is a critical moment related to the survival of the Wu greed, Sadiq hurriedly answered, and immediately ran out to make arrangements.
The news that a large wave of horse thieves was about to attack the country of Uganda spread among the people in an instant.
What happened today is too much, the country of Shan Huan was attacked and almost perished, the country of Wu was greedy and changed hands, and the big wave of horse thieves was about to attack......
The more turbulent the situation is, the more we can see that the people of the country are different.
Tang Ning walked out of the palace, and saw that there were still many people in the street just now, and it was empty in an instant, and from the courtyards everywhere, there was the sound of Huo Huo's knife sharpening, the city gate was closed, the children stood on the city wall and watched, and the women brought stones from all over the city and piled them on the side of the trebuchet.
It is not without reason that Wu Greedy can dominate this radius of a hundred miles with a small country in the case of a small country.
Almost all of them were soldiers, and it was remarkable that they could maintain such an orderly order when the war came.
Lao Zheng and they were also arranged in the palace, although the palace of the Wu Greedy Kingdom was a little broken, but the area was large enough, and it was still a lot cleaner and tidy than other places.
Lao Zheng glanced at him and asked, "Is there a horse thief coming?" ”
When he said this, he unconsciously reached out and touched the pig-killing knife on his waist, which made Tang Ning think of the human purgatory in Shan Huan Kingdom, and he couldn't help but shudder.
He looked away and nodded, "Yes, a group of horse thieves are eyeing here, there are quite a few of them, at least more than fifteen hundred. ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at several elders and asked, "Fifteen hundred horse thieves, is there a way to minimize the casualties on our side?" ”
The greater the number of enemies, the smaller the role that Lao Zheng and the old beggar can play, on the contrary, these elders will be poisonous and Gu, and their combat effectiveness will increase exponentially, although the desert is not as good as the mountains and forests of Qiandi, there is no shortage of poisonous insects, and their strength will increase a lot.
The four elders stood up and said, "Yes, yes, but it will take time to prepare. ”
The horse thief still had three days to arrive, and Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Is two days enough?" ”
The Fourth Elder nodded and said, "The longer the better, if there are only fifteen hundred people, two days of preparation time will be enough." ”
The old beggar breathed out of his nose and said, "Crooked and heretical......"
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Why don't you go up?" ”
The old beggar glanced at him and said, "Fifteen hundred horse thieves, do you think the old man is a fairy?" ”
Tang Ning knew that the old beggar had always looked down on the Gu Sect of Ten Thousand Gu Sects, thinking that it was all crooked and heretical, which he considered as a supreme master, from the perspective of a person who practiced martial arts to pursue martial arts.
However, for Tang Ning, all he wanted was to survive the catastrophe of the country with minimal casualties.
Although the methods used by the elders are somewhat inhumane and not recognized by the righteous path, when their own lives are threatened, what is inhumane and inhumane to deal with those horse thieves who only know about bloody killing?
Besides, Tang Ning felt that compared to letting them fight Lao Zheng head-on, the elders' method was a little more humane......
After all, the elders could at least leave them a whole corpse.
Having already made up his mind in his heart, Tang Ning looked at the four elders and asked, "Do you need to prepare anything?" ”
The eyes of the four elders looked at the eight elders and said, "What do you need?" ”
It seems that the Eighth Elder is the indispensable person in this matter, Tang Ning's eyes looked at him, and the Eighth Elder thought for a while and said, "Just one sheep." ”
Although he didn't know why he needed a sheep, Downing was not a man of curiosity, and ordered Bahar to go to Sadiq and ask him to prepare a sheep for him.
Downing waited a whole hour before Sadiq walked in from outside.
He waved his hand outside the door and said, "Carry in." ”
The two men walked in from the outside, carrying a stout wooden stick on which they were wearing a roasted whole lamb.
Tang Ning immediately smelled a pungent fragrance, Sadiq looked at Tang Ning and asked, "My subordinates asked them to roast two more, do you want to send them to those old people?" ”
Tang Ning sniffled, then looked at the Eighth Elder and asked, "Is there a roasted sheep?" ”
The Eighth Elder shook his head and said, "Live sheep must be used. ”
"Prepare a live sheep with vigorous blood and bring it to my room." He looked at Sadiq, said a word, and turned to leave.
Sadiq froze in place for a long time, looked at Tang Ning, and then looked in the direction where the Eighth Elder had left, and walked to a sheepfold with heavy steps.
One of the guards stepped forward and asked, "Chief, is it not enough to roast the sheep, do you want me to have two more roasted sheep?" ”
"I don't have to bake it this time." Sadiq waved his hand and said, "Just go and bring me a sheep." ”
The guard walked into the sheepfold suspiciously, led a sheep out, and after Sadiq looked at it, he looked at several sheep in the sheepfold with pity, shook his head and said, "I want ewes, ewes are vigorous......
