Chapter 383: The Dark Clouds Disperse
"General, this is too 'wasteful', isn't it?"
"It's not a fee, it's just floating money, and you eat 'meat' after finishing work."
"However, there is no reward for the meritorious soldiers!" Lu Shangqing was a little reluctant, the general actually wanted to return the cattle and horses seized from the Tubo people and the big cannibals to the Tuqi Shi people, and he inevitably felt pity in his heart. He also felt sorry for the little chestnut, Lu Shangqing took a lot of time when he received the order to receive the tens of thousands of horses and cattle from him, and the expression and eyes of the loser who was angrily reprimanded by the little chestnut still appeared in his mind. He is a little wronged, but the loser is the general!
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "If you don't have a small fortune, how can you make a big fortune?" ”
That's the truth, but it's also widespread. Lu Shangqing shook his head and smiled bitterly, his eyes looked through the darkness, looking north, waiting for the agreed ignition signal, Shi Guoren will set fire to the rear of the enemy camp, once the Tucai coalition army fell into panic, the Flying Tiger Cavalry attacked from the west to intercept and kill, and defeated the Tuqi Shi coalition army in one fell swoop.
"General, you said that Shi Guoren will not be cheating, right?" Lu Shangqing was a little uneasy.
"Whatever, he fights his calculations, we fight ours, and it is rare for the scouts of the Turgish to cooperate, as long as their camp is on fire, we will return the gift to them." Li Huaitang is very confident.
The six monkeys beside him said seriously: "Yes! Whoever believes in Seon gets a cow! ”
The scout night sentry arranged by the Turgish outside the camp was very weak, and it was forcefully pulled out by the scouts and wolf fangs of the Eagle Riders, and there was no movement under the cover of the wind. Summing up the reports of the Eagle Rider and the Wolf Fang, it was learned that the sentries of the Turgish were all weak chestnut soldiers, and they had not changed their posts overnight, and almost all the scout posts were shivering in haystacks, which were easily spotted and killed.
The time agreed between Li Huaitang and Si Jinti was early in the morning, as long as the rear camp of the Turgish people caught fire, Li Huaitang promised to personally lead the cavalry army into the camp of the Turgish people, and reenact the scene under the city of Qishi. After the battle of Beicheng, the courage of the strong Hu was exhausted, and the Tucai Shi people collected their troops stupidly, and joined together with the Yi Shu army in the east city, but they did not attack or disperse, as if the opinions of the strong Hu appeared in a state of conflict, and they were in a dilemma.
"Look! There is a fire! Lu Shangqing pointed to a glimmer of fire breaking through the black curtain in the north of the sky and shouted excitedly.
The light of the fire began faintly and intensified until it reached a sky-high momentum, and by the north wind it spread southward, and the camp of Turgish was plunged into a sea of fire, which was boiling with people and cattle screaming.
"Blow the trumpet!" The trumpeter heard Li Huaitang's order.
The horn sounded, and ten thousand horses galloped, rushing to the Qianghu camp illuminated by the firelight.
At the same time, at the northern end of the Tuqi Shi camp, tens of thousands of Tuqi Shi soldiers rode on horseback, expressionlessly watching the large camp in front of them burning, watching Li Tebing and Shi Guobing crying and fleeing. For the sake of this 'forced' real fire, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their allies, allies, it was nothing more than the Lite coalition army of the Zhaowu Kingdoms, and the Lite Turks of Yiwei 'mixed' into infantry, all of which Sulu Khan didn't care, as long as he could destroy Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, kill Li Huaitang, and abandon these burdens he was willing.
Sulu Khan heard the sound of ten thousand horses galloping, and the source of the sound was rapidly approaching his camp, and he sneered: "The fish has been hooked!" ”
"Congratulations to the Great Khan!" Que Yi Nanru and Si Jinti said in unison.
Sulu Khan laughed again and again, turned around and raised his arms and shouted: "Warriors of Turgish, follow me to kill, and there will be revenge and revenge left!" Those who take Li Huaitang's head will be rewarded with half of the city! ”
It is also the galloping of thousands of horses, full of 'passion' of the Turgish knights, screaming wildly, rushing into their own camp, the former allies did not get the slightest mercy under their horses' hooves, and the only fate of those who met them was to be trampled into 'meat' mud.
Before they met, Sulu Khan's ambition had collapsed, and the object of his 'desire' to intercept and kill seemed to be similar, yes, I had seen it, and the time was more than a year ago, when he met the first 10,000 flame bulls in his life in Chu Henan, unfortunately, the mistake was repeated, and this time the fire bull lineup was even stronger, Sulu Khan suddenly had a numb scalp, and faintly felt that the old injuries on his body were recurring, and the pain was hot.
Forced to stop the charging cavalry, Sulu Khan urged his troops to turn east, trying to avoid the frantically out-of-control livestock.
Turning east was the only option, turning back was no longer possible, continuing south would only lead to countless fire bulls and horses blocking the waist, and turning west would lead to head-on collisions with those terrible livestock, compared to these consequences, Sulu Khan preferred to let the cattle chase after them.
Luckily for Sulu Khan, he turned first, unfortunately, the knights at the end of the line, and it was too late for them to follow the anomaly. Countless wild bulls and horses, with strange tails of fire, indiscriminately crashed into everything that stood in their way, and at least half of the Trolls were ruthlessly ravaged. The Turgish warriors were sad, and there was still a chance to fight the enemy, but their opponent at the moment was a burning cow and horse, which could not be resisted by manpower, and no one wanted to stay and fight them.
While the Turgish knight chose to turn, he also chose to fail. Behind the tens of thousands of flame cattle and horses were more than 10,000 Ningyuan Iron Horsemen, Flying Tiger Horsemen and Tiger Horsemen. After confirming that the ambush of the Tuqi Shi people was forced to turn, the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry launched a ruthless offensive, and the knights of the Flying Tiger Cavalry charged along the trajectory of tens of thousands of fire oxen and fire horses, and the Iron Cavalry Scimitar swept away, "Those who descend will not die!" The cries of the Turgish came and went, and spread throughout the camp of the Turgish; The Tiger Rider then followed up and cleaned up, easily picking up the hordes of captives who had lost their armor and knelt down to ask for mercy.
Originally, the fire in the camp of the Turgish coalition was not so terrible, and the fire bull array was not as terrible as imagined, the most terrible and chilling thing was to be betrayed, and was abandoned as garbage by Sulu Khan, thousands of Turgish knights were unkind, and they were used as dogs, and the most heinous thing in the world was nothing more than this, whether it was the Lite soldiers or the infantry of the Stone Country, they all lost the courage to attack the city in the past, and fell into grief and indignation.
Yesterday evening, the Turgish people, including the cavalry of Huoxunguo, inexplicably moved to their north and camped in the north overnight, no one knew why, and then their commanders were summoned to the Sulu Khan's tent to discuss, and it was said that there was an important military operation. At that time, it was normal, except for those who had been unjustly killed, the rest of the hearts were suddenly enlightened, emotional resistance and incomparable fear, the collective surrender of the soldiers became natural, and the recalcitrant generals were powerless to return to the sky, or died in battle, or killed themselves, or joined the camp of Junjie.
The battle ended fairly quickly, faster than anyone expected. In the blink of an eye, the camp of the invincible Qianghu coalition army was in a mess, the corpses of people and horses were visible, and light smoke was everywhere, and groups of captives with their hands raised were gathered from all directions, like a trickling river, and finally formed a torrent of prisoners, slowly advancing towards the east 'gate' of Ningyuan City.
More than 50 miles away from the battlefield cleaned by the tiger horsemen, Sulu Khan was terrified, although there were more than 10,000 knights around him, but they all became frightened birds and had no intention of fighting, and the trap set up last night not only lost the soldiers, but also won them panic. No one dared to propose the return of the carbines, nor did they dare to propose the withdrawal of troops back to the division of Shattered Leaf City, although everyone was inclined to the latter.
"Bastard!" Bastard, where is the damn Que Yiru? I'm going to kill him! "Sulu Khan needs to find a gas bag, he needs to vent, his roar is shocking and crying ghosts, but in the end he failed to do so, Que Yi Nanru has disappeared, not only Que Yi Nanru, but even the monarch of the Shi State, Si Jinti, is nowhere to be found.
The hapless Que Yi Nanru and Si Jinti, of course, knew that the consequences were serious, and they did not flee with Sulu Khan, but they encountered the Flying Tiger Rider and naturally became prisoners.
Looking at the crowds of captives, Li Huaitang 'revealed' a satisfied smile, although the statistics have not yet come out, but looking at the formation, there are 40,000 people, plus more than 30,000 in the city, the number of nearly 80,000 strong slaves is enough for him to mine two mines.
"Congratulations to the Admiral on his victory!" Lu Shangqing smiled, the 'gloom' haze that had been suppressed in his heart these days was swept away, and the Qianghu coalition army was equivalent to child's play in front of the general.
Li Huaitang laughed comfortably and said, "What's the matter, how is the harvest?" ”
"Back to the general, the results of the battle are not so fast, but the harvest is definitely greater than the pay, and the captured grain, cattle and sheep may not be counted in two days." Lu Shangqing was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. It's no wonder that he is unhappy, he has won a series of great victories, both his wealth and prestige have risen with the tide, and the wives and concubines of the family have surrounded him to please him when they see him, and they have served him, so that he is so happy that he can't find the north. He had never been so beautiful, his life had never been so rich, and he felt that his husband should be like this when he was alive. Once he was poor, he couldn't even keep his wife, since he met the general, his life trajectory began to change, his wife was recovered, the concubine 'servant' was also accepted, and a few were accepted in a row, and his identity was also beautiful.
"Huh?" Among the group of captives, one of the captives with obvious characteristics caught Li Huaitang's attention, and his bare head was especially strange, and the two ears that ordinary people often had were invisible to him.
"Que Yi is so difficult!?" Li Huaitang recognized that it was his masterpiece, and he didn't know which soldier knocked off Que Yi's hat and made him so embarrassed.
The surprise continued, and by Que Yi's side, Li Huaitang actually saw Shi Guojun Si Jinti.
"It's not that enemies don't get together!" Li Huaitang sighed. The two prisoners with special identities were driven out by the soldiers, and they stood tremblingly in front of Li Huaitang, not even daring to come out.
"Si Jinti, you are my great hero. Oh, if I'm not mistaken, this idea must have been hard for Que Yi to come up with, right? Haha, without you, my results would never have been so rich, you say, should I reward you, or should I cut off your heads? ”
"Huh? No, the general spares his life, it's none of my business, it's all him! Si Jinti knelt down, pointed his finger at Que Yinanru, gritted his teeth and said: "He is the culprit, and he used the 'life' of my family to blackmail me into surrendering to the general." General Mingjian, I can't help myself! ”
"You!" Que Yi was as angry as a knot, how could Si Jinti be so arrogant in front of him in the past, and he was so angry that he was speechless for a while.
"Win and lose. The matter has come to this point, the general wants to kill or chop, and it is difficult for Que Yi to be as respectful as he is! "Que Yi Nanru closed his eyes, he was disheartened, now he is desperate, even if Li Huaitang let him go back, he has nowhere to go, he can guess, the most hated him in this world, the most want his life is probably Sulu Khan, as Li Huaitang said, if it weren't for his 'trick' self-defeating, Sulu Khan would not have failed miserably.
Li Huaitang was a little surprised by Que Yi's hard anger, but he didn't plan to bypass him and 'hand' over to the six monkeys around him: "'Hand' him over to Zhang Qiu, and let him personally avenge his father and brother's revenge!" ”
"Wait, General," before being pushed away by the soldiers, Que Yi Nanru asked Li Huaitang, "How did you discover the flaws in my plan?" ”
"Flaws?" Li Huaitang sneered, "Have you forgotten that you think Si Jinti would have such courage to rebel against your turphores? I didn't believe him from the beginning. As a matter of fact, yesterday evening's military movements were all under my watch, and I might as well tell you that there are our eyes in heaven and our inner response on earth. ”
"I know you have the help of the Condor, but who is this? Please tell me, or I'll die! "When a man is about to die, his words are sincere. Que Yinanru really wanted to know the answer, and wanted to know where he had failed. It's a pity that Li Huaitang just laughed but didn't say anything, deliberately driving him crazy.
Que Yi was unable to leave, was taken away by the soldiers, and walked towards his belonging. In front of Li Huaitang, only the frightened Si Jinti remained, and he only had a poor sentence in his mouth: spare your life! Action monotony: Kowtow!
Li Huaitang said with a look of disgust: "Get up, I didn't plan to kill you." You are unkind, but I can't be unjust, but you also helped me at the beginning. However, capital sins can be avoided, and living sins cannot be escaped! He was punished for two days in a prisoner camp. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you for the general's grace of not killing, thank you for not killing the general......" Si Jinti was also taken away, and he talked happily all the way, for fear that Li Huaitang would change his mind at any time.
Lu Shangqing frowned and said, "Why did the general let him go?" ”
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "Si Jinti's head is not worth mentioning, but after all, he has been canonized by the Tang Emperor, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, let alone kill the dog?" Moreover, it is easy to kill him, but it will inevitably cause chaos in Shi Guoda, and it will only cheapen the big cannibalism, which will not benefit us at all. ”
"High, the general is really tall!" Lu Shangqing sent a compliment.
There is another reason why Li Huaitang didn't say that the life he left behind was actually to show his forgiveness to the Lite people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms and expand his influence in the Lite countries. As his strength grew, victories followed, and his ambitions began to swell, and being confined to a corner was no longer his ideal.
