Volume 1 Hundred Battles Yellow Sand Wears Gold Armor Chapter 58 Five Horses Split Their Bodies
More than a hundred miles away from the Great Sui Mission, a caravan of two or three hundred people also stopped when it was raining heavily, but they did not set up tents, because they had enough wagons, and after covering the goods on the wagons with sheepskins, everyone got under the wagons to take shelter from the rain.
Among the only carriages in the caravan that transported people, Wang Junlin was sitting cross-legged inside, cultivating.
According to the cultivation map given by Chang Kuzi, combined with the words on the animal skin, it took him two days to finally cultivate a trace of the so-called internal qi. When this trace of internal qi is not cultivating, it stays quietly in the position of the qi sea where the dantian is located. And as long as he starts to cultivate, this trace of internal qi will follow the route of the exercises, running along the various meridians, every time he runs a circle, he returns to the sea of qi, it takes ten breaths of time, and every time he can increase this trace of internal qi, although the increase is very small, but it accumulates a lot, as long as he cultivates this trace of internal qi, it will grow little by little.
After cultivating this trace of internal qi, Wang Junlin discovered a new problem, he only knew how to cultivate, but he didn't know how to use this trace of internal qi. However, as this trace of internal qi continued to grow, Wang Junlin could feel that his essence and physical body also began to strengthen unconsciously, as if this trace of internal qi itself had a refining effect on the physical body. This is also the reason why Wang Junlin has been practicing hard day and night for the past two days.
Wang Junlin's caravan left the Kurunubi tribe not long after Kurunubi led his troops to battle, and naturally wanted to return to Gaotai City. However, because of the nearly 100 oxen, sheepskins and other animal skins exchanged with the Turks, as well as some herbs, the speed was much slower than that of the Great Sui Mission.
However, what Wang Junlin didn't notice was that there was a figure like a ghost, following their caravan from a distance.
……
……
The grassland is a messy scene, after the heavy rain, the spring is brilliant, but the sun has no warmth, at least when it shines on the bloody battlefield, it will only make people feel cold. The three major forces of the Western Turks have been completely killed and have been fighting for two days.
Tong Yehu can be called a khan, but because he has the most men and horses under his command, even if he dispatches 200,000 troops, there are 50,000 left, just when the war lasted until the third day, the king of Bodofa, who stayed behind, decisively led an army of 40,000 to sneak attack the Kurunubi tribe with only 10,000 soldiers left, fortunately, the Kurunubi tribe sent a large number of rangers, as soon as the king of Bodofa dispatched, they got the news, hundreds of thousands of women and children with their cattle, sheep and belongings began to move under the escort of 10,000 cavalry.
Kurunubi, who was leading the main army to kill the enemy, was shocked when he got the news, and hurriedly sent 30,000 troops to the rescue, so that they had the upper hand on the main battlefield, and they were suddenly at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the battlefield is located in the Ashina tribe, although their tribe suffered heavy losses at the beginning, but after a long time, the home advantage will be revealed, so for a while they are not afraid of defeat, and the main battlefield is in a state of stalemate for a while.
On the contrary, whether King Putofa can catch up with the old and young women and children of the Kurunubi tribe before the 30,000 troops of Kurunubi return to help become the key to this battle. If it catches up, it will naturally destroy the rear of the Kurunubi tribe, Kurunubi will lose its foundation, and the relatives in the rear of the warriors will be killed, and the morale and morale of the army will inevitably be greatly affected, thus affecting the victory or defeat of the main battlefield.
On the fifth day, King Bodo led an army of 40,000 to finally catch up with the hundreds of thousands of women and children of the Kurunubi tribe, and 10,000 escort cavalry desperately intercepted, and when he saw the rout, the reinforcements sent by Kurunubi finally came, and the cavalry escorting women and children converged together, which was worthy of the soldiers and horses of King Bodo, and the day was a hard battle, the two sides won or lost, until it was dark when King Porta ordered the troops to retreat.
On the grass, there were corpses everywhere, blood splattered, and occasionally a groan came out from the corpses, and the soldiers of the Kurunubi tribe who cleaned the battlefield checked each corpse on the battlefield one by one, and if it was the other party's people, as long as there was still a breath, they would make up for it.
On the slope in the distance, there was a makeshift camp of women and children of the Kurunubi tribe, and there was chaos in the camp, and more than a thousand cavalry led by King Potofa rushed here, causing great casualties to these women and children.
"Where's Master Sodaji?" The commander who was in charge of protecting the herdsmen's retreat originally wanted to ask Master Suodaji to perform a ritual for the warriors who died in battle, but suddenly found that Master Suodaji was missing.
"When we ran away just now, the scene was very chaotic, and Master Sodaji and we ran away. We don't know where the master has gone. A Kurunubi nobleman said quickly.
"I remember, before the enemy army caught up with us, Master Sodaji found a place to go out, and Akez escorted Master Sodaji out of the brigade with fifty men, and then the enemy army chased after him, and everyone was just trying to flee forward, forgetting about Master Sodaji." Another Kurunubi nobleman followed.
"Come, gather three thousand people, and scatter on horseback to find Master Sodaji." Captain Wan's face was unusually ugly.
……
……
On the Gobi Desert, Wang Junlin's caravan looked at the rolling dust behind him, although Deng Yuzhuo, who led the team, was a businessman, but Yu Bao, the leader of the caravan guard, was one of the three hundred people who were rescued by Wang Junlin in the wounded and sick camp in Gaotai City a few years ago, and he was experienced, and immediately judged that it was a group of cavalry, and the number should be about a thousand, he quickly ordered all the carriages and camels to be driven to both sides of the flat road, so as not to block the other party's way and bring unnecessary trouble.
The exclamations and scolding of the beasts from outside were too loud, coupled with the bumps in the carriage, which woke up Wang Junlin, who was cultivating in the carriage, he had to open his eyes, and Deng Yuzhuo next to him came to the window of the carriage in time and said: "Lord, it is two groups of Turkic cavalry, one in front and one in the other, rushing in the direction where we are, there are only more than fifty people in the front group, and there are more than a thousand people in the back. ”
Wang Junlin opened the curtain and glanced back, couldn't help frowning, and said, "What would happen to your caravan when it encountered this kind of thing in the past?" ”
Deng Yuzhuo said: "Don't worry, my lord, this is still the sphere of influence of the Western Turks, as long as they don't meet robbers, no one will move the caravan from the Great Sui." ”
Wang Junlin put his mind at ease, but after thinking for a while, he said: "It's better to have more eyes, let everyone be secretly vigilant, and if there is really something, you will break the fortune and eliminate the disaster." ”
Deng Yuzhuo respectfully praised.
When he was more than two hundred steps away from the caravan, Wang Junlin finally saw that running in front was a group of Turkic cavalry escorting a fat monk, this monk was none other than Master Suodagi enshrined by the Kurunubi tribe, Wang Junlin found that this monk's riding skills were actually quite good, but his body was too fat, which was completely equivalent to the weight of two Turkic cavalrymen, although the horse he rode was obviously extraordinary, but it seemed that it had begun to affect the speed at this time.
He was also unlucky, when he left the Kurunubi women's and children's brigade to find a place to go out, King Potopa led people to chase after him, they broke away from the large team, and originally hid on a hillside next to the battlefield, but a stunned young guard beside him saw that his side was at a disadvantage, and his blood was rushing, so he couldn't help but shoot a dark arrow at a soldier on King Potofa's side, which exposed them, and they had to run away, but the run to the large team was cut off, and they had to flee in other directions.
At the beginning, King Bodo's side originally only sent nearly 100 people to chase and kill them, but the big red robe on Master Sodaji was too distinct, and the news was reported to King Bodo, and King Bodo was overjoyed, and completely handed over the command of the army to a commander of ten thousand people, and personally led a thousand cavalry to chase and kill Master Sodaji, chasing and fleeing along the way, and it happened that the caravan where Wang Junlin was was caught up.
More than 50 people on Master Suodaji's side were more than 100 steps away from the caravan, and they were finally chased up, mainly because Master Sodaji's body was too fat, and his war horse ran wildly all the way for more than 100 miles.
From the first scream to the killing of the last guard around Master Sodaji, it only lasted for about ten breaths, and only Master Sodaji was left alone and surrounded by the cavalry led by King Porto.
I have to say that this Master Suodagi still has a bit of a monk's demeanor, as early as after seeing that it was difficult to escape, he sat cross-legged on the ground, although there was despair on his face, but he was never panicked, and he didn't know what to say with his eyes closed.
Wang Junlin saw King Pota look up to the sky and laughed wildly, I don't know what to say, five horsemen dismounted, one of them went up and kicked Master Sodaji down, the other horsemen found ropes, one was firmly tied to Sodaji's limbs and neck, in the cruel laughter of King Portofa, the five knights began to gall in five directions, and then began to accelerate.
At the moment when Wang Junlin's pupils contracted, many people in the caravan next to him exclaimed, Suo Daji's body was divided into five parts, and from beginning to end, this fat monk like a pig did not let out a single exclamation or scream, let alone the slightest begging for mercy.
The cruel punishment of "five horses splitting the corpse" was heard by Wang Junlin when he was in later generations, and even seen it in TV series, but what he saw with his own eyes now still shocked him greatly.
Wang Junlin didn't have time to think about it, because King Bodofa led a thousand cavalry towards them, and as Deng Yuzhuo said, the Turkic cavalry had no intention of robbing them.
But one of the Turkic generals suddenly pointed to the carriage where Wang Junlin was, and then a group of cavalry came towards them.
