Chapter 42—The Siege of Runur
Chapter 42—The Siege of Runur
The sheep has a rope around its neck!
These yellow sheep are not wild sheep, but are raised by men.
In this way, the problem is serious.
The destruction of the qanats may well have something to do with those people.
Hurunur was very angry, for many years, the city had been living a peaceful life, and the vigilance that these horse thieves should have had was slowly worn out.
Although winter is a time of repair, the practice of not sending a scout guard outside the country is still unexpected by Runur.
My father said proudly, who would have thought that there was a glorious city hidden in the barren and hellish West Sea?
Obviously, my father was too premature, and now someone had quietly touched it, and destroyed the karez in Tsumocheng, as if he had cut a person's throat.
Runur blew his horn like a madman, hoping that someone would react that since the enemy had destroyed the qanats, it was time to raid the castle.
After the qanats collapsed, the backbones of the horse thieves in the city seemed to be broken, and everyone looked blankly at the qanats that no longer flowed, and a few unwilling ones had rushed into the qanats with torches.
More and more people entered the qanats, but no one paid attention to the war alarm from Runur.
Tired of blowing, Hurunur simply sat at the mouth of the cave panting, and the horn was thrown aside by him......
He really wants to hack everyone here with the knife in his hand, hack everyone here!
Until dark, no enemy came to kill them, and the scouts sent out found nothing, and there was not a single outsider in the West Sea of Nuoda.
Only the qanats started from the hillside area and collapsed downwards for six miles, and the water in the qanats had overflowed from the hillside, forming a small lake at the foot of the mountain.
The qanats collapsed for six miles, which means that the entire qanats have been abandoned, and it is easier and more convenient to dig a new one than to repair the karez that collapsed for six miles.
Runur didn't believe every word the scout said, he didn't believe that the qanats would collapse on its own, and he didn't believe that the scout was talking nonsense that there was no one in the West Sea Wasteland.
The rope around the sheep's neck makes it very clear, and these stupid people are still mourning for a qanats.
The next day, despite his injuries, Hurunur personally led a team to explore the qanats.
The traces of life left by Tie Xinyuan were exposed under his careful observation.
Enraged, Hurunur ordered the killing of the scout sent out yesterday in front of the earth cave where Tie Xinyuan had slept before.
and buried the bodies of the scouts in a hole in the earth.
Hurunur, who had come to Xihai with the purpose of receiving his father's inheritance, suddenly found that he seemed to be carrying a big burden.
The castle was not originally a battle fortress, but a place for horse thieves to house their families.
Yiyun is respected by all horse thieves because of his ability to house some of the horse thieves' families.
In the same way, while a cloud feeds these family members, it also uses them to control the unruly horse thieves.
Over the years, a cloud has been strangled by the Uighurs and other countries countless times, and has failed countless times, and each time it can rise rapidly, which has a lot to do with the city of Tsui Mo in the West Sea.
Once other horse thieves are fatally hit by the official army, they will scatter and eventually fall apart.
And even if the team of horse thieves in a cloud is dispersed, the horse thieves will still reunite in the West Sea after avoiding the limelight.
In winter, there are not many horse thieves in the city, but more of the horse thieves' families.
After their peaceful lives are suddenly disrupted, they then become panicked and overwhelmed.
There was no living water in the qanats, and the huge pool immediately formed a thick layer of ice.
Although the ice can also be used to meet the needs of people for drinking water, the large number of cattle and sheep in the valley, and the drinking water of war horses have a big problem, because there is not enough firewood and grass to melt ice for livestock.
The barren appearance of the West Sea has protected these people for decades, but the barren West Sea, which does not even have much firewood and grass, has also made these people suffer for many years.
Hurunur was now standing on the waterhole, with a thick layer of ice beneath his feet, and some horse thieves were digging an ice hole in the deepest part of the pool, carrying buckets of ice water full of ice slag.
The white-bearded old horse thief said to Runur, "King, in three days at the latest, we will not have any more water to feed the horses." ”
Hurunur raised his scarred face, looked at the cold sun overhead, shook his head, and said: "We must go, if we don't go, we may not be able to go, anyway, the life of a horse thief is destined to wander." ”
Selling Is, he snorted and asked, "But where can we go?" There are too many of us, not to mention that most of the people here are women and children, and they are not able to protect themselves.
Besides, after leaving the city, many women and children will be frozen to death by the cold wind on the Gobi.
I've heard that Hami is already being rebuilt, and if we can take Hami, there will be a place to spend the winter, and in any case, we must support this winter first. ”
"Sell Is, you are the first person to follow my father, so I won't hide it from you, Hami is very dangerous now, and my father disappeared during the attack on Hami.
The West Sea is the most hidden place in the world, where we have spent countless calamities in peace.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get over this time, since the enemy can find the West Sea and accurately find the karez, it means that the "Haojie Spectrum" in my father's hand has fallen into the hands of the enemy.
The reason why they destroyed the qanats was that they were ready to force us to leave the city and attack us on the plains.
You're right, there are too many women and children in our team, and our combat effectiveness is not strong, so we can't compete with tigers and wolves. ”
Selling Iss stood up and thumped his chest; "Give me a thousand, and I'll take Hami ......"
"There is no better fighter than my father, and no braver than the Red Devils, and their command of a thousand cavalry is the best among us.
In the past, when we were defeated, how many of our people would return to the end of Xihai Tsui, until now, sell Is, except for me, have you heard of anyone else coming back?
No, the three thousand of the most elite among us disappeared from this world and went to the arms of the gods.
We can't send another thousand warriors to the devil's minions, they will be torn apart. ”
Hurunur hugged the sad Sellis and returned to the cave where he lived.
The news had spread that everyone had to leave the city, and the sound of the woman's weeping outside the cave had already been heard.
They know what it means for them and their children to travel long distances in the harsh winter.
Hurunur lay on his back, his warm, soft bed, his thick fur almost obliterating him.
The face that was full of sadness just now immediately became a fluttering eyebrow.
Since he was born, he has been bumping and wandering on his father's horse, eating dirt all day long.
When you open your eyes, you will see either dead people or yellow sand, and the never-ending Gobi!
Everyone thought that they would become a new generation of horse thieves in the future, sweeping across the Gobi with countless knights, destroying everything, and making everyone in the Gobi tremble when they heard their names.
This is all their thoughts and their father's thoughts, has anyone asked Lao Tzu what he thinks?
If possible, Hurunur wants to live in a place where there will always be no dust.
If possible, Hurunur wanted to build himself a huge mansion in one of the most prosperous cities, with countless servants to serve him.
Let yourself open your eyes every day to see the bustling city, the beautiful singers, the rich and exquisite food in front of you, the endless wine, the songs and dances that you never get tired of watching, and the gentle murmurs of beautiful women in your ears.
Every morning when I wake up from a dream, my first thought should be what kind of food to eat, what kind of wine to drink, what kind of beautiful women to see today, and what kind of painful choice I should fall into.
It should not be who should be killed today, who should be robbed, and how to deal with the officers and soldiers who are coming!
In the past, if I wanted to do this, my father's whip would be whipped on my back, but when I wanted to do this, I would be ridiculed by the Red Devils, Saeed, Otoma, Koshmar, and Ramones, and I had to guard against their rebellion......
There is no need now, the biggest leader here is already old, and he grew up in the arms of Selling Is, he loves himself more than his father, and he will never object to doing anything to him.
He can be his most faithful steward.
As for the Red Devils, they ...... Hahaha......
Hurunur couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Now it's time for him to find that interesting Song man, and it is he who tells himself that there is another city like that in the world.
It was he who told himself that there was such a luxury in the world.
Ever since he knew that there was a place like heaven in the distant Song Kingdom, Hurunur, who had hated horse thieves since he was a child, felt that he had found heaven.
With that Song man as a guide, heaven is only a stone's throw away for him.
As for the remaining horse thieves?
Hurunur believed that such ugly creatures should stay on the Gobi for the rest of their lives, and that they did not deserve to go to heaven to enjoy the pleasures of earth.
In a world where there is money and everything, there will be no more horrific killings, no more terrifying looting, and no more cold scimitars under your head when you sleep.
In order to confirm everything that the Song man said, as long as the horse thieves caught a merchant from the Western Regions from the Song Kingdom, Hu Runur would inquire in as much detail as possible.
After more than half a year of inquiry, Runur no longer had any doubts about the existence of that heavenly city.
After pushing open the door of the cave again, Hurunur looked south, almost excited. (To be continued.) )
