Chapter 137: Catching the Sandalwood in the Urn
The Xianbei scout, who had been consumed by fear, was powerless to resist the black horse servants who rushed towards him from the opposite side. It took only one turn for the Black Tower to slash him down. More than 8,000 light cavalry disappeared into the night, and their destination was the Xianbei Imperial Court, which was already close in front of them.
At dawn the next day, Tanshi Huai woke up from a night of tossing and turning, and she began to worry a little about whether her stupid son would be able to finish the war well. As long as he can achieve this victory, his prestige will be enough for him to smoothly succeed him as the Lord of Xianhu.
But judging from the news that came back yesterday, it seems that Kazuren stupid guy has not grasped the gist of this battle at all. A hunter with no fighting skills, no matter how many of his retinue, could not fight the fiercest black bear in the woods.
Therefore, he had to be cautious in this matter, and if necessary, he thought that he should go to the front and personally direct the battle, and only create a strategic advantage for his son, which now seemed far from reassuring him.
So he finally made up his mind and prepared to gather Wang Tingzhong's personal guard troops and go to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass, which was hundreds of miles away.
However, just as his subordinates were busy packing their bags, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing in the distance.
Tanshi Huai looked at the place where the voice came from, suspiciously. Although the sound was not loud, it was clear that the fight between the two sides was very fierce. The lord of Xianbei, who was familiar with the grassland, immediately judged that the two of them had reached the point of endless death, and this was obviously not an ordinary contradiction.
However, near his royal court, there were all tribal nobles who were very close to him, and even if the relationship between them was a little ugly, they never dared to show it in front of him. Besides, now that the war is raging ahead, and everyone is looking forward to the smooth return of their warriors and bring a lot of goods, who would have such a fierce fight at this time because of the dispute over the sesame dots?
The doubts in his heart gradually covered the whole mind, and Tanshi Huai immediately recruited personal guards and sent them to the place of the incident to check the specific situation.
The sun began to rise slowly after the guards left. The sandalwood acacia also became more anxious because of the increasing amount of light. After he had made many turns in his tent, he noticed that the sun had risen to the zenith outside. The time came to noon unconsciously, and the attendants had not yet returned.
Tanshi Huai was almost sure in his heart that something bad must have happened there, maybe there was a directory that had launched a rebellion, and was preparing to attack the empty royal court at this moment.
For this kind of situation, the treacherous and cunning sandalwood has encountered many times, most of which happened in the process of fighting on his own when he was young. However, he is very confident that his sword is not old, and even if his sideburns are gray now, he can easily cope with such a situation.
So he turned on his horse and led the few remaining guards, preparing to leave this place of right and wrong at once.
According to past experience, since the sound of fighting came from the southwest, they should have done the opposite and fled at full speed to the northeast.
So the sturdy horses began to sell their hooves, thinking of galloping away in the north-east bound by the cold, and though the winter there was likely to make them die of hunger and cold, if they did not flee there, they would be joined by their masters in an imminent rebellion.
It's a pity that this group of war horses doesn't know the truth of the matter. In fact, the restlessness that has just arisen is not a rebellion. It was a small group of cavalry, launching an attack on the perimeter of the royal court.
This attack was not an aimless and random operation, and its main battle plan was to coax the treacherous and cunning Xianbei Lord to leave from the other direction according to the rules of the steppe, and the main force led by the Black Tower had to spread their nets in that direction.
As expected, Sandalwood fell headlong into the trap set by the Black Tower.
The face of the Black Tower, which had just been pulled out from under the pot, now looked shining in the sunlight. And the face of the sandalwood locust has long been colorless, pale as white paper.
He never imagined that the trick that helped him escape the pursuit of traitors many times would not work at this moment.
Blacktower smiled at this time. Although he rarely participated in the battles on the peach orchard, every time there was a tribal conflict, he would send his own subordinates to inquire about the details, and over time, even his subordinates were able to judge the strengths and weaknesses of each tribe.
At that time, the Xianbei tribe, which had been fighting on the grassland for many years, was naturally the focus of their research. He was not the only one who escaped in the rebellion, and there were also scouts sent by Brown Sugar to spy on the situation. The scouts had even learned this trick from Sandalwood, but it didn't work at times in the clashes of other tribes, and perhaps only the old fox would be paranoid about believing in this childlike pattern.
However, this happened to provide Black Tea with a great opportunity to capture him alive, so there was this carefully arranged sound, and the plan went as smoothly as expected. The most cunning old fox of the steppe plunged into the hunter's bad pocket at once.
It's just that this old fox still thinks of his bravery, thinking that when he fought in the north and south on the grassland, Heita was just a young man who had just taken the position of leader. So he wouldn't take this little-known Qiang leader in his eyes. And because Heita rarely participates in tribal conflicts, and he himself is just a martial idiot, and rarely shows his scheming in front of outsiders, so Tan Shihuai did not expect that he would be planted in the hands of the other party, not to mention that he has always thought that his royal court is an extremely safe existence, and he never thought that an economic soldier from Liangzhou would suddenly appear in front of him with a principal and interest of nearly a thousand miles.
However, at this time, regret is useless after all. The arrogant old fox decided to do his best to fight to the death with the other party, and he was also an extremely congested presence on the battlefield back then, making the opponent's tribe under his hands handsome and handsome. Today, although he is old, he is confident that he will leave the name of the big black man opposite him on his honor roll.
So the old fox urged his horse to gallop out, but the black tower was undaunted, and his horse was equipped with iron stirrups. It can support the body more steadily, and it is also more convenient for the body to attack with strength in the fierce battle.
Heita knew that his martial arts were in the middle of the opponent, and in terms of physical strength, he only had the upper hand by virtue of his age, and there was no hope of winning the opponent for a period of time, but with the stirrup, he could hit the opponent by surprise, so he rushed out without hesitation, and at the moment when the good horses intersected, he stepped on the stirrup, and his body stood upright, and then he slashed the scimitar vertically.........
Then, a scream resounded through the field.
