Chapter 493: Suicide
Chapter 493: Suicide
North of the Nuratau Mountains, the city of Whitewater.
Since it was conquered by Li Huaitang three years ago, Baishui City has almost become an empty city, time has passed, in the blink of an eye, the stone country fell into the hands of Li Huaitang, and the vacant Baishui City was once again stationed with an army, a garrison from the stone country, enough 2,000 people, their duty is to guard against the Turgish from the north.
Bu Lu worked very hard at the head of the city to look north for almost the whole autumn, but unfortunately, the shadow of the Tuqi Shi people was only in the rumors, in the suspicion, perhaps, the Tuqi Shi people did not dare to come at all, because, behind Baishui City, there was a terrified Ningyuan Iron Cavalry.
Another dark night passed, nothing happened, Bu Lu yawned, stretched out his waist and prepared to be laid off, suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something, the morning light was hazy, and there seemed to be a pile of black objects under the corner of the city.
Before he could shout, an arrow pierced Buru's neck. Bu Lu shook a few times, threw himself down the city wall in front of his body, and when he was in mid-air, he finally saw that it was the Tuqi Shiren!
Clad in black cloth and under the cover of night, the Turgishes crawled forward, not alarming the defenders on the walls, and when the first rays of light of the morning crossed the horizon, they launched a surprise attack.
The low city wall could not stop the ladder of the Turgish people, and in just a few breaths, there were already a hundred Turgish people standing on the head of the city, and the defenders rushed to the battle, suffering heavy casualties.
"Kill!" The shouts were earth-shattering, and the Turk Iron Cavalry galloped from a distance, and entered the city along the open gate, and the defenders were instantly dispersed.
Baishui City changed hands again, and the Tuqi Shi people still did not give up, and continued to catch up with the deserters out of the southern city, and the leading enemy general frantically enjoyed the pleasure of the blade over his neck, and he couldn't wait to rush to the city of Zhezhi City in one go.
The horn roared mournfully, calling the footsteps of the pursuers.
Sulu Khan arrived, staring palely at his vanguard general, Totai.
"Can't you understand my orders?" Sulu Khan was furious, and his soldiers were more than brave, but the discipline was too poor, and he often took his orders as a child's play.
Totai lowered his head and didn't dare to come out. After losing his broken leaf and big tooth in a fiasco, Sulu Khan was able to escape from life, but a serious illness spurred a recurrence of his leg injury and left him paralyzed. Sulu Khan, who was once a hero, can now only come and go in a carriage, and his health is getting worse and worse, and his temper is getting worse day by day, and has developed to the point of killing people to vent his anger at the slightest disappointment.
"You pig's head, take a good look, what's here? Nothing but some food! You killed them all, who is going to tell Li Huaitang that we are here? If they don't come, where will we go to grab food? ”
Totai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the more fierce Sulu Khan scolded, indicating that his life had been guaranteed, otherwise he would not have taught him so much nonsense.
Sure enough, as Sulu Khan had expected, before dark, a goshawk hovered over Whitewater City.
Ning Yuan Tieqi is here!
It's fair that goshawks can spot enemies and will be spotted by them.
"Let them come, let's leave!" Sulu Khan sneered and gave the order to retreat.
……
Thousands of miles northwest of the Nuratau Mountains is the downstream of the medicine killing water. There are many meadows in the lower reaches of the medicine killing water, and there are many small tribes living here, nominally, they belong to the stone country, but because the distance is too far, Li Huaitang's tentacles have not yet reached here.
The herders here are complex, with most of them mixed and Turkic.
Early in the morning, two herdsmen watched in amazement as thousands of iron horsemen hurried past them.
"It seems to be a Turgish!" Half a day later, a herdsman said that the cavalry of the brigade that had just passed had turned into small black dots on the edge of the sky in his pupils.
"Fortunately, for the sake of the Turks, they didn't cut off our heads, nor did they rob our cattle and sheep." After waiting for a long time, another herder responded.
The iron horse traveled up the river, and the target was obviously the relatively rich wheat producing area of Shiguo.
The head of the Iron Rider is Dumozhi. The order he received was to raid Zhezhi City in a roundabout way, and if he could, he would plunder and return. Therefore, he didn't look at the small tribes on the way, perhaps, on the way back, he could consider it, if there were no chasing soldiers.
A few days ago, Sulu Khan received the news that the main force of Ningyuan's iron cavalry had withdrawn to Ningyuan City, so Dumozhi was released, and in the direction of Nuratau Mountain, Sulu Khan led his army to contain the Ningyuan iron cavalry left behind - two thousand sweaty horsemen.
The wheat in Shiguo was harvested early, but not all of it was harvested in the city, and in the villages outside Zhezhi Castle, there were many estates and farmers in the village, and there was a lot of grain in the village.
The Turgish came quite suddenly, with such a swift speed that it swept through like a strong wind, sweeping away all the grain and livestock, leaving only death.
Overnight, smoke rose in Shiguo, and corpses were everywhere.
Zhezhi City is still in a state of curfew, and Gongsun Yaowu is so cautious that the Tuqi Shi people have no chance to take advantage of it.
By the time the Eagle had to report and rushed back to the rescue, the Turgish had already fled with the booty.
In the east, in the direction of Broken Leaf Town, Moheda cadres crossed the Chu River and surrounded Broken Leaf Town. The Anxi army rode quickly with a distress letter to Bahuan City and Sim City respectively.
The results of the plunder were staggering, and the harvest of Dumozhi was very great, and the results of the return journey were innumerable in the amount of cattle and sheep that were eaten.
Food solves the stomach problem, but it brings irreconcilable contradictions. The Turkishes quarreled over the distribution issue, Sulu Khan thought that he had strategized and made great contributions, and he should take more, and Dumozhi also had ideas, and he dug the well, of course, he should occupy more, and Mohedagan was not easy to fool, he sent the most troops, suffered the most, and took the least, and he was definitely not happy. The result, of course, was the final word for Sulu Khan, and the other two factions were depressed and dispersed.
The infestation of the Tuqi Shi people was like a fly falling into a bowl of sweet soup, destroying Li Huaitang's happy mood.
It feels terrible to be treated as a sheep! The hunting outing with the beauties thus ended.
On the way back to the city, Li Huaitang has been thinking about how to deal with the Tuqi Shi people, they are still useful, and it is not good for him to be killed with a stick. The losses inflicted by the Turgish were still bearable, and it was intolerable that these robbers had touched his bottom line. Shiguo is the granary of the entire Ningyuan, and there is no room for error, if the Turks are allowed to harass them, there will be problems in the production of grain.
In order to prevent the possible Turquoise bandits at any time, only to divide more cavalry to garrison in Shiguo or take the initiative to attack, however, the war is not a matter of a while, the north is wide, and the Turks can wander around to avoid the war, and Li Huaitang's original plan was to take Xiao Bolu first, colonize the countries of the Indus River Valley as soon as possible, and obtain a large amount of sugar. Sulu Khan made such a fuss, and the strategic center was afraid that he would have to move north, even if Li Huaitang swallowed his anger, Laiyao, who was far away in Bahuan City, would urge him to send troops to attack the Tuqi Shi people.
