Chapter 339: Thank you for your kindness

Tianshan Mu's team of three hundred horses suddenly appeared outside the Alashan Pass, disrupting Heida's deployment at once. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he always thought that these people from Tianshan Mu were blocked by himself on the west bank of Xuanchi, how did they come behind him again?

Then the barrier he had painstakingly built was of little use, and he hurried to the mountain pass, where he found that most of the tent had been burned. Tianshan Mu shot dozens of people with random arrows before dawn, and fled into the desert to the west without waiting for the people here to engage in battle.

Heda couldn't see what their point was, because they could have shot more people during the raid in the early hours of the morning. Is it just to destroy his tents? The fire was extinguished, but a large cloud of smoke hung with smoke that refused to disperse, and people were coughing and cursing.

Taking advantage of the bitter northwest wind in the early morning, the Tianshan herdsmen only set fire to the west side of the camp, and the tents were lit one by one by the wind. He asked people to count it, and there were less than sixty percent of the tents in good condition, which was a big blow to the Ebiru people who were camped halfway up the mountainside, how could they stay here at night?

Heida asked people to find the arrows shot down by the other party at the scene, and after careful observation and comparison, he found that Tianshan Mu's equipment was nothing more than that. The long arrows and the tents they had cut with their sabers during their hasty evacuation suggest that these men were made up of a part of swordsmen and archers.

There is no news of the 1,000 or so people who chased them out so far, and according to the situation of the first two battles, Heida thinks that they will not have a good result. He didn't say anything about this concern, and immediately drew out a team of three thousand people from the headquarters and personally led them to meet them. These people can't stay here - there are no tents for them.

Ashina's dissatisfaction had not yet reached Heda's ears, and he wanted to find these people as soon as possible and give the Great Khan a plausible explanation. Before leaving, Hei Da said to the remaining subordinates in a bit of anger that he went to the pass of Datang to do something!

After Heida left, the 4,000 people who remained in the pass were temporarily led by Jie Lifa of the two divisions of Mouluo and Chi Qi. These are the two major tribes of Ebidulu, with a population of nearly 10,000, and this time they dispatched 2,000 men and horses of their tribe respectively, and the fiasco of Chumi and Golulu did not touch them deeply enough, because their capital has not been lost.

Now, Heda's order before leaving is not very clear, what do you want them to do?

It was Feng Zheng who was on duty at the mountain pass tonight, and in the middle of the night, Muzi, who was standing on a high place and watching, ran down and said to him, "Lord Feng! Someone is coming! Feng Zheng hurriedly got up and looked under the pass, he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, and the mountain road was swarthy.

But in the night, the gray-white rocks exposed under the vegetation on both sides of the mountain road reflected the figures of the enemy, and they moved quickly, and did not ride horses to make a noise, and were climbing up in a muffled voice. The sneak attacker at the front had already reached a dozen steps below the pass, and the situation was extremely critical, Feng Zheng ordered, "Everyone come in, light a beacon fire and send a message." ”

A raging fire burned from above, the defenders grabbed their swords and guns, and the torches immediately shone as if it were daylight everywhere in the pass, and when the enemy revealed his whereabouts, he stopped crying, "Allah-!!" A swarm rushed up, and the two sides finally engaged.

After so many days on duty on the top of the mountain, it was the first time that the Ebiru army had attacked, and the anger in their breasts had been suppressed for too long.

Heda's order was to "do something", so the leader of the Blazing Tribes gave them the task of taking the mountain pass by surprise and gaining a foothold, and there was no need to rush inside. Having done this, the poplar herd was in a precipitous position in the Ebidu land.

Feng Zheng roared at the pass, "Those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be killed!" them off! "The people of the two cities of Gutun and Crossbow on the upper side shot their arrows towards the enemy group under the pass, and one of the shepherds of the poplar herd picked up the stones that had been prepared long ago and smashed them down, and the hundred and ten people who had rushed to the gate of the pass left a dozen corpses and retreated.

On the mountain road behind him, a torch winded up, and it was Guo Zhizhao who arrived with reinforcements.

On the edge of the valley to the east of Gutun City, on the earth city hidden in the trees, two sentry soldiers of the Tang Dynasty discovered a small group of men and horses quietly coming from the east, but the number was not accurate.

One of them immediately ran down the battlement to report to General Gaorang, and the other shot an arrow into the sky above the group in the darkness not far away.

A sharp sound sounded a warning, and the sergeant stood behind the battlement and shouted, "Who, stop and wait for investigation!" You're welcome to go any further."

It was the young city lord of Futu City who came, seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, and the torches on the city were lit, and it seemed that it was no longer possible to sneak over the city, and he was a little undecided.

Gao Rang only brought two sergeants out, and three people and three horsemen stood in front of Zhi Lin, Gao Rang said loudly, "What are the people of Futu City doing in the west in the middle of the night?" Can there be an arrow from the Xizhou capital? ”

Zhilin said, "What do you want, Futu City and Xizhou are also considered a family, we are going to Alashankou to help poplar herd, what, aren't you welcome?" ”

Gao rang "oh-" and Tima leaned in, his two hands following closely. This Tang general is a little tiger-like, but last time Guo Xiaoke in Xizhou said that there are only five or six people here, and except for the three people who came out, there are only two or three people left in Tucheng at best, and they are not afraid.

He sat on his horse, straightened his chest and watched Tang approach, maybe he didn't agree with him, he could take him down first. Some of Zhilin's subordinates also put arrows on the bowstring, just waiting for Zhilin's young city lord to give an order. The atmosphere under the city froze instantly.

Gao Rang stationed in front of this team of people and horses, and hugged his fist at Zhilin, "It turned out to be a brother from Futu City, and the day before yesterday, Lord Guo of Xizhou once ordered when he passed by here, the west is too peaceful, and no one is allowed to go over and cause trouble without his consent, please go back." ”

Zhilin said with a smile, "This general, you said that you are wrong, where are we going to cause chaos, it is I who asked my father Khan, and took these eight hundred people to Alashankou to help the poplar herd - to cause chaos, I will only bring such a few people?" ”

"Then I will thank the city lord for the kindness of the governor of Guo, but no one is allowed to move without the order of the governor, otherwise I won't be able to figure out his intentions!"

Someone in the team of Futu City shouted, "I really don't know what to do, the people of Futu City are going over, can you stop us with a few people?" ”

Gao Rang hehe sneered, "I said it, if you want to pass by, take Guo Dudu's order arrow first, otherwise you ......"

"Or what? Can you still stop me, these 800 people? ”

Gao Rang said, "That may not be able to block it, but it is always not a problem to block one person," Zhi Lin did not understand the meaning of his words, and when he was about to ask, he found that the three people in front of him were each raising a crossbow with four consecutive rounds at him.

The two sides were close at hand, and the quick crossbow arrows that glittered in the firelight were all aimed at the chest of the childish person, and they did not move. Zhilin felt a little uncomfortable in his chest, as if he was being held down. He couldn't think of what it was like to have twelve arrows in his chest.

Gao Rang waved his hand, and more than a dozen people flashed out behind the battlements guarding the city, and their bows were already open. Gao Rang said, "I never talk nonsense at night, the people of Futu City have to go over, I only leave you alone, and everyone else is casual." ”

Zhilin couldn't see a trace of doubt in the eyes of the person in front of him, he didn't even dare to raise his hand, for fear of causing the other party's misjudgment, he sat on the horse and didn't look back, and said to his subordinates, "Let's go back." ”

"No," said Gorang, "they go back, you stay." You came out to help in the middle of the night, although you couldn't make the trip without the order of Governor Guo, but Futu City can't help but thank you for your kindness, you have to accompany me into Tucheng to drink! (To be continued.) )
