Volume 1 A Hundred Battles in the Yellow Sand Wears Gold Armor Chapter 8 King Potato
When he heard that Tuyuhun had sent an army of 50,000 to attack Jincheng County, Mi Baohu knew that the Turkic conspiracy was at work, and that he was a crucial link in this vast conspiracy.
But when it came to the end, he remembered the strength and resilience of the Han dynasty, and he hesitated. If the Turks' plan succeeds, he will have the rich Tianshui County, but if it fails, the Turks and Tuyuhun people can retreat, but what about his Gedao Division, will he also lead his people to leave their homeland like wild dogs.
Immediately on the high mountain road, across a low hill, looking at a light in the east, that is Longxi City, what he needs to do next is to help the Turks take Longxi City, and even the entire Longxi County, cut off the Sui army food and grass supply and back road in Jincheng County, in this way, the morale of the Sui Dynasty army that started a war with Tuyuhun will inevitably be greatly affected, and then the 200,000 iron cavalry of the Western Turks suddenly appeared, defeated the Sui army with a devastating momentum, occupied the entire Yongzhou, and approached the hinterland of the Great Sui Pass.
"Mi Baohu, the arrow is on the string, are you still hesitating?" An old voice sounded behind him, and Mi Baohu hurriedly turned around.
A sleek head first caught his eye, then a dark-skinned, wrinkled old face, and then a gorgeous robe, but the old monk wore a dark cross around his neck.
Mi Baohu hurriedly dismounted and saluted the old monk: "Respected Lord Bodo, it is windy here, why are you here." ”
The patriarch of the largest Qiang tribe in Yongzhou, Mi Baohu, can be respectful, except for Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, there is only the old monk in front of him, who is known as King Bodo, no one knows the origin of King Bodo, and no one has seen him eat fasting and chant Buddha, but the teachings he spreads are many believers among the Turkic, Tuyuhun and Qiang people. A large part of the reason why Mi Baohu agreed to cooperate with the Turks this time was because of the presence of King Poto.
"I just got the news, Yongzhou Governor Dugu Moyu will stay in Gangu City tonight, and go out of the city to Jincheng County tomorrow morning, he only has a thousand cavalry guards around him, I have told the news to the three thousand Turkic cavalry leader Wu Bald, he has led three thousand cavalry to take the mountain path and set off, if it is successful, Dugu Moyu will be captured by us tomorrow." King Porto did not answer Mi Baohu's question, but said to himself.
When Mi Baohu heard this, his face changed several times, and the anger in his eyes flashed, but in the end, it turned into a touch of determination and a sigh in his heart, since the Turks had already been dispatched, he had no choice.
It's just that he looked at this old monk, and there was an inexplicable fear in the depths of his heart, Dugu Moyu was easy to find out in Longxi City, after all, a thousand cavalry escorted, and the movement was not small. But the time when Dugu Moyu left Longxi City was not easy to spy on, and he had just gotten the news, which was still the result of his Ge Dao Department being in Longxi County for many years. But this old monk has only been in Longxi County for a few days, and he can know such secret news.
What really frightened him was that the 3,000 Turkic cavalry had left, but no one reported to him.
He knew that his people believed in Nestorian religion, but if his faith affected his authority in the tribe, this was definitely not what he wanted to see.
The change in Mi Baohu's expression could not escape the eyes of King Bodo, who flashed with amazing killing intent in his eyes, and said lightly: "Since you don't really believe in my religion, what's the use of keeping you!" ”
Mi Zhuhu was shocked when he heard this, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and the treasure knife in his hand was decisively unsheathed, and slashed towards King Bodo like lightning, if Wang Junlin was here, he would definitely be surprised by Mi Baohu's knife technique, because this knife with his strength, although he could barely catch it under surprise, he would inevitably be injured.
However, it was such a knife, but it was knocked out by the sleeve of King Bodo, and Mi Baohu himself rolled out three feet away, spit out a mouthful of blood, roared angrily, and was about to turn over and get up, calling for the guards to take down the thief monk. However, two Qiang warriors suddenly came over and put their knives in his neck.
"You two are so bold that you dare to use a knife against me." Seeing that his two personal soldiers had betrayed him, Mi Baohu was desperate and angry at the same time.
"Give him to Mi Baoqi, and say that from now on he will be the patriarch of the Gedao tribe." King Hata said lightly.
The two Qiang warriors respectfully and enthusiastically took the order, and the King of Bodo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go and call the butler named Zhang Tao sent by the Zhang family of Tianshui County, and the King of this law wants to have a good talk with him." ”
There was already another warrior of the Gotobu clan next to him, bowing and saying yes, and then quickly left.
……
……
The next day, Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, left Longxi City and rushed to Jincheng County.
At the same time, Wang Junlin and Liu Gang set off from Wutou Town and headed for Longxi City.
At noon, the weather was the hottest, and the spirit of pedestrians was the most sluggish, plus just out of Longxi City, the official road was wide, and there were few mountains and forests, so the vigilance of the 1,000 cavalry guarding Dugu Moyu was subconsciously relaxed. In the territory of Yongzhou, there were another thousand cavalry escorts, and no one dared to assassinate the governor of Yongzhou in broad daylight.
A small valley appeared in front of you, flanked by dense mountain forests.
Dugu Moyu lifted the curtain, looked at the valley, and thought in his heart that in a few days, the Dadu Governor Yujuluo led an army of 100,000 to arrive, and according to the will of the imperial court, he would take over the Yongzhou army, what kind of attitude should he show at that time, which would be in line with the interests of the Dugu family.
However, at this moment, a piercing sound suddenly sounded from the mountain forest on the left.
Then, from the top of the low mountain, a huge crossbow arrow broke through the air, carrying the sound of whistling wind and thunder, and hit the wheel of the carriage where Dugu Moyu was.
The guard next to the carriage reacted quickly and bravely, standing in front of the crossbow arrow's flight, roaring, and slashing at the crossbow arrow with his sword.
With a snap, the sword snapped, and the crossbow bolt pierced the brave escort and struck the wheels of the carriage.
With a bang, the wheels were shattered by the spear-like crossbow arrows, and the remaining strength even knocked the carriage directly to the ground.
Dugu Moyu was just a literati, and he was caught off guard and knocked his head on the wheel of the car and fainted. It's just that what he thought before he fainted was, "Why did my Great Sui Defend City Giant Crossbow appear here." ”
Almost at the moment when the carriage was knocked down, only the terrifying, suffocating sound of bows and arrows was heard, which resounded in the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley, and more than a third of the cavalry guards were shot off their horses on the spot.
Then, the sound of cavalry charging came from the low mountains on both sides, and three thousand elite Turkic cavalry rushed towards more than six hundred remnants of the Great Sui.
This is a fight without suspense.
……
……
As the convoy continued to approach the North Road Canyon, for some reason, the uneasiness in Wang Junlin's heart became more and more serious.
From the two counties of Longxi and Jincheng to the west, the so-called canyon is the loess ditch cut out by the water flow, and there are countless small ditches arranged like ribs on both sides of a large ditch, and there are thin ditches on both sides of the small ditch. A good piece of the Loess Plateau has been washed into thousands of hills and ravines, and there is no grass in many places. However, Longxi County and Tianshui County are still far to the south, and the rain is much more than that of Jincheng County, so on both sides of the North Road Canyon, there are not a few trees, and the clusters are dense, extending from the north side of the gorge to the south side of the gorge.
"The North Road Canyon is not very long, only less than twenty miles, out of this canyon, you can see Longxi City." Liu Gang turned his head to look at Wang Junlin, and saw that the latter had been frowning, looking vigilant and nervous, so he smiled and said.
Wang Junlin nodded and did not speak. He still rode at the end of the line, carrying a stone and a half hard bow in his right hand, and his left hand ready to draw arrows from his quiver at any time.
From time to time, he looked up at the ravines and dense forests on both sides of the valley, where there were places where people could hide.
"Brother Wang, don't be so nervous, no one here dares to rob our Sui army's grain and grass!" Liu Gang saw that Wang Junlin looked nervous, so he said with a smile. Even those people shook their heads secretly, only thinking that Wang Junlin was tall and big, but he was too timid.
However, the scene that happened in the next moment proved that King's fear was right, even worse than what King's Landing feared.
"There are thieves...... Yes! It was one of the two soldiers in front of him who was in charge of clearing the way that screamed, and then he was shot through the throat.
The next moment, in the forest on the side of the road ahead, a group of Qiang people armed with bows and arrows and long knives suddenly appeared. These Qiang people moved very fast, rushed out of the forest in a few steps, jumped on the official road, and rushed directly towards the convoy, and knew at a glance that they were elite players.
The screams of the people trembled with fright, and the faces of the remaining sixteen soldiers of Liu Gang and his party changed greatly.
"There were more than 200 of them." Wang Junlin's face was extremely solemn, he expected that Zhang Qingyu might kill him by finding someone to pretend to be a small group of Tuyuhun people to hijack grain and grass, but with the power and financial resources of the Zhang family, the number would never exceed 100 people, but now there are more than 200 people, and all of them are elite.
Things have developed far beyond Wang Junlin's expectations.
Liu Gang and the other sixteen soldiers were hesitant to hesitate because they were responsible for escorting grain and grass, and if they fled without a fight, they would be beheaded when they turned around, but Wang Junlin did not have so many concerns, knowing that he was invincible, and staying was to send him to death, he would never do such a stupid thing.
At the same time as the Qiang soldiers appeared, he turned the horse's head, clamped his legs, slapped the longbow on the horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped away at full speed in the way he came.
However, what made Wang Junlin's face change was that on the way they came, a group of Qiang soldiers also appeared at some point, the number was not as large as the people in front, but there were also about fifty people, fortunately they had no horses, they were all infantry.
Life and death are also on this line.
If you kill it, you may be able to have a glimmer of life, and if you stay here, there is only one way to die.
