Chapter 9 The Long Drive

"Dear Great Khan, the two of us have lived up to our mission, gone through hardships, and finally come back to our lives!" Mandu Ratu and another messenger beside him bent down to salute as they spoke.

Baars stood up in a little surprise, he really didn't expect the two men sent out to come back alive.

He raised his eyes and looked up and down curiously at the one-armed Mandu Ratu and the other messenger, who lacked nothing but haggard faces, dusty bodies, noses, ears, and even eyes!

He couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: These generals of Da Chu were either completely frightened, or they were a group of bloodless wretched! The king gave them such a "great gift" that he didn't even dare to let out a fart, and sent the messenger back respectfully and with a lot of parts.

"You've worked so hard! How did the generals of Da Chu react after receiving the gifts? ”。 Bars asked with a smile as he raised his hand and stroked the golden beard on his lips.

When the two envoys heard the Great Khan's question, they both frowned, and replied with a sad face: "Returning to the respected King Khan, the two of us can be said to be nine deaths and one life!" The thieves had surrounded me and me with a knife up to their necks! The two of us were not afraid of danger, talked and laughed, and were righteous and awe-inspiring, and drank them back in person. Finally, you didn't give us a strong fierce clan, and you are ashamed of the Khan King! Although he was lucky enough to save his life, he still could not escape the beating ...... of the thieves."

As he listened to them, Bars nodded his head again and again, and even his eyes were slightly red. Slightly excited, he strode forward, stretched out his big hand and slapped them on the shoulders violently, and muttered, "Let you suffer!" This king will reward you abundantly later, so first retire and rest. ”

After the two of them retreated, Agudamu, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and said, "Respected Great Khan, so the military general of Da Chu did not agree to give up Feihong Pass!" ”。

Bars turned around with his hands behind his back, smiled and replied, "Joke! The generals of Da Chu are not muddy. Feihong Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has always been a battleground for soldiers, and the enemy will easily give it up. This king is nothing more than using that human head to teach them some lessons, so that he can deter the other party and disturb the mind of his army. ”

Agudammu nodded slightly, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Bars turned around and said in a loud voice: "Agudam, this king orders you to step up your military training together with Chagan Temur and Rising Sun, and you must not slack off. After our army rests for a while, we must re-raise our troops, seize Feihong Pass in one go, and enter Qingzhou Mansion! ”。

Hearing this, Agudammu straightened his waist again, and replied loudly with vigor: "I respect the order of the Khan!" ”。

Before he could finish speaking, a low whimper of a horn suddenly came from outside the tent. At first it was just a distant sound, and soon the whimpering sound was connected far and near.

The Khan king Bars and Agudamu looked at each other, full of doubt. They all knew very well: it was an alarm of an enemy attack.

In broad daylight, how could there be a large number of enemy troops in the hinterland of this grassland? The tribes of the steppe have long been integrated into a unified one, and there will be no more civil strife. Great Chu's army? It's even more impossible, they can't find this place even if they are tired, not to mention that they have just received the lesson of being alone and bloody!

Although he was full of doubts, the Khan King Bars did not dare to slack off, personally put on the battle, sorted out the team, lined up the formation, rode his horse up a gentle slope, and looked into the distance.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large white dust mist on the horizon. The grassland is rich in vegetation, even if the wind blows, there is no loess in the sky, at most a small amount of whitish dust and mist.

As the distance got closer and closer, Khan King Bars couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air.

He saw the most improbable sight of the vast grasslands: turbidity waves emptying and floods raging.

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, he finally saw clearly: it was not a flood, but an endless but uniform galloping war horse. Is Da Chu's guard crazy? Look at this menacing posture, this is the scale that can only be formed by integrating all the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou Mansion and Feihong Pass!

Under a red handsome flag, Guan Yu, who was sitting firmly on the saddle bridge, held a spear in his hand, and commanded loudly while galloping on his horse: "Pass the order, since it has been discovered by the enemy's guard post, there is no need to hide it." All the men and horses are advancing at full speed, driving straight in, breaking the enemy formation, and avenging the prince of the west! Kill! ”。

The Khan king Bars, who was immediately on the gentle slope, calmly observed for a moment, the thief army was in a hurry, and our army could not sit still, but must take the initiative to meet it and first defuse its impact.

He turned his head and shouted: "Agudammu and Chagan Temur obey the order: order you two to lead the men and horses of your headquarters to meet the enemy head-on, and the men and horses of the headquarters of the Rising Sun Gan will wait for the opportunity to attack their flanks, be quick!" ”。

With his order, the men and horses of the grassland coalition army roared, thousands of horses galloped, scimitars were lined up, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and they launched a counterattack from three directions.

The Khan king Bars was still on horseback, standing motionless on the gentle slope. He craned his neck and looked ahead with round eyes. At the same time, he habitually raised his right hand, stretched out his fingers and gently brushed the golden mustache on his lips. It's just that his fingers are trembling slightly imperceptibly.

Not long ago, when they joined forces to besiege the lone army of Zhai Longbiao, the king of Guanxi, he had already learned the strong and brutal tyranny of the Great Chu army. Fortunately, at that time, their own men and horses had an absolute advantage in numbers, so there was no need to worry about it.

But today, facing an evenly matched opponent, to be honest, he has no bottom in his heart. Perhaps, the annihilated people and horses broke out with amazing combat power because they were forced to a dead end, right? He prayed secretly in his heart.

On the battlefield where people shouted and neighed, the two people finally collided head-on. The speed of the horses of the grassland coalition army has not yet reached the limit, and the men and horses of Da Chu have already been killed.

There was a loud rumbling sound from the earth, like a huge hollow cowhide war drum, which was beaten by countless iron hooves at the same time.

This was the largest frontal armed conflict between the two sides since the establishment of the Great Chu Empire and the unification of the steppe tribes. The outcome of the battle will directly determine the future of the empire, and at the same time will also determine the direction of the steppe alliance.

Agudammu and Chagan Temur, who were rushing upwards with their swords, glanced at each other from a distance. The two of them, who have been baptized by bloody killings and wars, have long been hard-hearted and put life and death out of the way. But what they saw still made the two of them tremble.

As far as the eye could see, the eyes were full of gnashing teeth, constantly waving knives and guns, stumps flying in the air, blood splashing everywhere, and it was no longer possible to see the blue sky overhead.

The sharp clash of swords and the deafening shouts of slaughter, the roar of rage, the terrible howls and the terrified neighing of the horses falling to the ground. It seemed like everyone was yelling, and it was as if there was silence all around. Only the constant smell of blood in the air grew stronger.

Agudammu heard a terrible howl coming from above his head, and he couldn't help but shudder and looked up. He saw one of his steppe warriors, covered in blood, with his limbs outstretched, staring at his protruding eyes, and smashing straight down at him from the air more than a man high.

Agudammu hurriedly turned his horse to dodge, and with a loud "tom", he looked down and saw that the warrior was still lying on the ground with his limbs stretched out and motionless. But in a moment, he "moved" again, as countless warhorses trampled past him at a rapid pace.

Deep hatred replaced a brief moment of horror, and Agudammu raised his scimitar and gritted his horse to continue his charge.

Xuanwu General Zhang Baiqian held the spear tightly in both hands, and his lips were tightly closed. Facing the rows of steppe barbarians who fell in front of him, there was not a trace of sympathy and pity in his heart except cold contempt and hatred.

Another steppe warrior with a scimitar in his arms pounced on him, he swung his spear and swung the scimitar at the oncoming one, without a trace of hesitation, withdrew his gun and stabbed forward suddenly, the tip of the spear instantly pierced the enemy's chest and abdomen, and with a flick of his wrist, his body was thrown high and flew into the air. A round drop of blood dripped down his face in the air, and he didn't bother to wipe it, but turned and shot another enemy chief who was trying to sneak up on him.

The reason why he insisted on rushing to the forefront of the team was because he always felt a deep regret in his heart for the death of King Guanxi: how good it would be if he had resolutely prevented him from going deep alone at that time, and not divided his troops with him! At present, the only thing that makes him feel warm and a little comforted in his heart is that he can kill the enemy side by side with General Guan and Brother Zhongnian, as if he has found the joy of battering the Tiger Ben camp and killing all sides in the past.

He has always believed in his heart: follow General Guan and be invincible!

Another enemy soldier rushed to the front with a knife, and before Zhang Baiqian could shoot his gun, the enemy suddenly spurted blood from his mouth, and there were countless blood holes on his body.

Zhang Baiqian was wondering to himself, and Guan Yu's kind and loud voice suddenly came from his ears: "Brother Baiqian, I and Brother Zhongnian will take care of it here, you look over there." ”

Zhang Baiqian turned around and found that General Guan, who was in silver armor and silver armor, had come to the front of him at some point, and the front end of the big black iron spear in his hand had been dyed red.

Zhang Baiqian followed the direction of Guan Yu's finger and saw a large group of enemy cavalry from a distance, running in a circle towards his flank.

"Take your men and pack them up! lest they disrupt the position of our army and take advantage of the loopholes. ”

Zhang Baiqian raised his head with his chest straight, raised his spear and shouted: "Brothers, come with me!" Then he left the main battlefield and rushed out first. His soldiers immediately shouted, and each raised his sword and chased after him.

On the other side of the battlefield, Chagan Timur's eyes were red, he couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't stand it anymore.

The brothers who rushed to the front suffered heavy casualties, and the thieves on the opposite side went on a rampage, as if they were in a no-man's land. Especially the enemy general who wielded a long knife and had a long black beard was simply extremely murderous.

I saw that his eyes were wide open, and he roared and screamed wildly, while waving the blood-dripping long knife in his hand, like the legendary evil ghosts of hell, wantonly harvesting the heads of the steppe warriors. However, several of the generals under the command of Chagan Temur rushed forward, but instead of stopping his aggressive murderous aura, they themselves became ghosts under the knife.

The immediate Chagan Timur roared angrily, held a breath in his chest, and rushed forward with his scimitar in his hand, he was going to meet the black-bearded god for a while!
