Chapter 392: Ambush
As soon as I arrived at the fort, someone was waiting outside.
"Hetosabel, has Usburg been breached by the infidels?" , Barriel, the elder of the Tiele Tribe, said with a worried face. The tribal chiefs of Mor, Eltuo, Korupa, and other tribes who followed him also looked slightly tight.
In the end, Usburg and Fislogu are too close to each other! As long as it is breached, it will take half a day to reach Fislogu. Although there were also close ties between them, there were not enough troops to defend them when the fighting on the eastern side was tight.
What's more, they are a tribal alliance and are no match for regular armies. When fighting, there is no order to prohibit. Therefore, it is clear that there are benefits to be gained on the battlefield in the east, and where are there people who want to stay in the west to defend.
In this way, Usburg became Fislogu's last line of defense in the west.
Hetosha didn't hear this, and snorted coldly in his heart. When they were stationed in Usburg, they were all pushing. Even the garrison was reduced to about 300 men on the grounds that the war in the east was important.
Even the land of Fort Usburg is indeed dangerous. But with such a small amount of manpower, it was not enough to hold off several rounds of attacks by the cathars. So in his heart, he actually retreated.
Tataraf's arrival only gave him a better choice.
However, although he was angry in his heart, he still pretended to be worried and said, "The heretics have arrived at Usburg. They had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the situation was critical. So I went back to the city to ask for reinforcements. ”。
Hearing this, Baril thought to himself for a while, and then said solemnly: "There are not many soldiers and horses in the city!" Therefore, you can only allocate a maximum of 5,000 people. ”。
After Sheikh Salar Arafain took away seventy percent of the tribal army, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left in the city. Among them, the men and horses of the three tribes of Mohr, Eltuo, and Korupa also accounted for eighty percent.
You must know that these three tribes are all medium tribes, and their strength is not strong. Let them defend the city, and they are also prepared to defend passively.
Therefore, squeezing out 50,000 soldiers and horses for reinforcements is already the limit.
"But this is one against ten, it's too much..." Sixty percent of his tribe was transferred to the east, and two percent remained in the tribe's territory to defend. Therefore, on the side of Fislogus, there are only about 900 people.
If it weren't for this reason, he would have preferred to lead his own clan army to reinforcements.
Of course, this was not what I had in mind before I joined the Synophar. Now, naturally, the more other tribes, the better.
"No more! and the city will be garrisoned. Otherwise, if someone makes trouble, it will be a big trouble. Barrier frowned. As the largest tribe of the seventeen tribes of Gur. The Tiele tribe has replaced the previous Raganda tribe and has become the master of the Gur tribes.
Originally, they didn't have a chance to overpower the Ragandabu!
However, after the Rakanda tribe moved the capital to Jizeni, a large number of the tribes moved south. In the land of Gul, there is a lot of land left behind. Originally, the Tiele tribe, which had a tribe of less than 2,000, was valued because of the service of the patriarch in front of the Sultan of Gul. The tribe has become an important tribe supported by the Raganda tribe.
A large area of territory has fallen into their hands. Immediately, many smaller tribes took refuge. It is as large as nearly a thousand, and as small as nearly a hundred. Slowly, bigger and bigger.
After the fall of Gul, he quickly became the master of the land of Gul. Fislogu, the city of the Gur, was also transferred from the hands of the Raganda tribe to the Tiele tribe.
In view of the great achievements of the Raganda tribe in the past, the current tribal chief of the Tiele tribe and the tribal chieftain jointly elected by the Gur people, Salar Arafain, also wants to lead the Gur tribes to reunite the territory of the Gur country.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the prestige of the Raganda Tribe, and when he leaves the Gur Mountains, not many people will look at the Tiele Tribe. And because the local forces of Bami and Gitzini are not weaker than the tribal alliance. Since the beginning of the war, they have never asked for any benefit.
Therefore, all along, the tribal alliance led by the Tiele Department has guarded the poor mountains and rivers of Gul. Unifying the whole territory of Gur has become an unattainable dream.
However, in this land, the Tiele Department is still very prestigious. Like Baril, it is the city guard elder who the Tiele Ministry deliberately left in Fislogu. The chiefs of tribes like Hetosabel will also be at his disposal.
Therefore, after seeing that Barir had spoken about this, Hetoshabel also knew that it was impossible to increase his troops. Ben immediately asked for a command of troops and horses, and quickly rushed to Usburg for reinforcements.
However, because the soldiers and horses of the various ethnic groups do not belong to each other, it is quite troublesome when they are gathered. It wasn't until it took nearly half an hour that 5,000 soldiers and horses scattered out of Fislogu City.
In order to better command these soldiers and horses in Hetoshabe, Baril also dispatched a prestigious general from among the three divisions to help. But when they faced Hetosabel, they were not so respectful.
After all, Hetoshabel is not their patriarch, so in his heart, he doesn't have such scruples.
Fortunately, Hetosha is not annoyed! Because in his heart, he never thought that these soldiers and horses would really reinforce Usburg.
When the 5,000 tribal army came to a narrow valley, Hetosabel suddenly stopped the army.
"Patriarch Hetosabel, why did this stop all of a sudden?" , one of the warriors of the Korupa, Tereth Khan, said with a bit of a playful smile.
"Yes! The heretics are coming, and we need to reinforce the Shah brothers in Usburg! ", one of the generals of the Mor Department pretended to make a fuss. Especially when it comes to Shah, he deliberately raises his voice high.
"The mountains here are steep, it is advisable to straighten out and pass quickly!" , Hetosha looked at the narrow road left between the two mountains, and said in a solemn voice. It was also he who had been urging the tribal army to move faster, which caused these people to be dissatisfied.
Therefore, when the army was suddenly ordered to stop, it attracted the ridicule of the crowd.
"Didn't the patriarch say that? The infidels were also kept out of Usburg. How did you come to this place and set up an ambush? ", the general of the Eletto tribe deliberately asked rhetorically.
"That's it! Will they still be able to fly? After the Mor generals finished speaking, they burst out laughing.
"I see that the patriarch is used to sleeping in those stone houses, so he ---," although Tereth Khan did not say anything later, his sarcastic eyes already revealed disdain.
The eyes of the others who looked at Hetosabeth were also full of amusement. In fact, Hetoshabel is a bit different from the other tribes. For he commanded his people not to tear down the houses in the city and cut down the fruit trees in the garden. You can't defecate casually and dump sewage indiscriminately. Even the books that have been found in some houses are not allowed to be burned at will.
Not only that, but he forbade other tribes to do the same. Some small tribes, struck by his majesty, had no choice but to submit.
But after the Shah tribe was withdrawn, these small tribes became emboldened. This is also the reason why Hetoshabel was so disgusted after returning to the city.
"Y-you! Hum! Hetosha didn't touch the crotch knife on his waist, and he was about to have a seizure. Immediately, the leader of the more organic tribe stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker. Although in the end, Hetosabel held back and did not have a seizure. But for the generals of these three tribes, there is no good face.
Seeing this, Tereth Khan and the others were not afraid. He led the soldiers and horses and entered the valley leisurely. And Hetosha didn't seem to be angry, deliberately falling behind the back of the group.
When the soldiers and horses at the front were about to reach the exit, there was a sudden rumbling sound above the mountain pass. And he saw great stones falling down like a torrential rain. This was followed by a dense rain of arrows, shouting and killing.
Clearly, they were in ambush.
