Chapter 42: A Kesi Comes to Spy on the Dragon Pond 2
Hiding until nightfall, Mudea found that the military camp south of the city was moving. Groups of brightly armored cavalry, tall and mighty heavy infantry, and crossbowmen with arrows on their backs, guided by countless banners and torches, marched out in a procession like a long river rushing eastward.
Mude'a took a closer look at the sergeants and found that they were well-armed and had high morale. What caught Mudea'a's attention most was the mirror-like armor on their chests and the long knives held by the heavy infantry.
As a battle-hardened centurion, Mudea saw at a glance that the armor of this army was exceptionally fine, and that it was more protective than the armor of the Khorasan cavalry. And the long knife that shines like snow is murderous and unforgettable.
The only thing that this army did not look down on Mude'a was the war horses. Whether as the governor's guard or as a centurion of the scouts, Mudea and his brethren rode tall and long-legged horses that were adept at sprinting.
And the war horses of this army are shorter than the big eating horses, and the sprint speed is definitely not as fast as the big eating horses from the length of their legs.
After observing this, Mudea and his men consulted and devised a plan to infiltrate the enemy camp and steal the little princess.
After seeing that most of the men and horses in the camp had left, Mudea left his mount near the camp and then crept into the camp with the help of hooks and ropes.
After the departure of the army, the barracks were still heavily defended. However, due to the significant reduction in the number of soldiers, the density of patrols will inevitably decrease.
Are Mude'a and the others loyal to Abu? The Muslim soldiers, in order to show the difference between the Umayyad family of the monk white, they all wore black clothes. In the dark night, black clothes have become the best cover.
After figuring out the little princess's tent, Mudea made a sneak attack and killed the soldiers guarding the tent.
In order to prevent the little princess from making a noise and alarming the soldiers in the camp, Mudea first used drugs to stun Anice, and then asked one of his ten-captains to carry her on his back.
Mutai'a wanted to get out of the camp again without knowing it. Unexpectedly, the soldiers left behind in the barracks were particularly vigilant, and they were immediately discovered.
Although there were not many soldiers left in the large battalion, it was enough to surround five people layer by layer.
Among the soldiers left behind, there was a general in silver armor, wielding a strange spear, and killed two of Mudea's men in an instant.
Is it going to fall short? In the midst of his nervousness, Mutaia noticed that there was a tent in the barracks, which was guarded by soldiers.
Mutaia decided to take a gamble that he might be able to take him hostage if there were any important people in the tent.
Breaking through the top of the cowhide tent with a flying hook, Mudea descended from the sky with the last two of his men and slaughtered them in the tent.
Unexpectedly, the people in this tent were actually the horsemen who robbed the little princess in the woods.
This cavalry commander was also very good, and with just one face, he killed one of Mudea'a's men and stabbed Mudea'a.
Mudea had always been very confident in his strength, and there was no one in the Khorasan cavalry to rival him. But when he fought against the horseman, he found that the strength of his opponent was even stronger than himself.
Fortunately, the ten-captain, who was carrying the little princess on his back, found that there was a little boy lurking in the tent and immediately controlled him.
From the nervous look of the cavalry general, Mutaia found that the little boy was an important person who was protected by the soldiers.
With the hostages in hand and the little princess under control, Mutaia was so relieved that he immediately thought of the idea of using the speed of the big horse to tease the rider.
When he pretended to threaten the life and death of the hostages in exchange for a safe evacuation, Mutaia was actually ready to take the little boy away.
Because when he fought with the soldiers in the barracks, Mude'a had begun to suspect that the dress and tactics of this army did not resemble those of the Turgish. Therefore, he planned to take the hostages with him, and then quickly go to the city of Talas in the Stone Kingdom to be interrogated.
Outside of Talas, secretly stationed an Abu army? Muslim's army. This is the king of Shi Guozheng, Naju Che Nose Shi and Abu? The secret pact reached by Muslim is unknown to most people. Mutai'a as Abu? Muslim's personal guards only vaguely knew that there was such a thing.
Mutaia's abacus is very good, but the other party is not a fool. He was ready to dodge the attack of the bow and crossbow with the help of the great eater's excellent sprint, but the opponent's silver-armored warrior had already ambushed in a high place, and with a very powerful foot battle longbow, he shot the ten-captain who was carrying the little princess on his back and holding the little boy hostage with an arrow.
The great changes are rampant, and Mutaia can't take care of the little boy anymore. He only hoped that he would be able to leave quickly with the little princess.
At this time, the last palace guard who had disappeared for a long time had long been hidden under the belly of the horse. He seized the moment when the Captain Ten was killed, jumped into the saddle, and took the little princess and the little boy away.
The chickens and eggs were empty, and Mutaia was extremely annoyed. But he has never retreated on the battlefield, and of course he will not give up.
So the palace guards galloped in front, Mudea followed closely, and hundreds of cavalry in the camp followed.
Originally, Mudea would soon be able to catch up with the palace guards of one horse and three people, but the silver-armored warriors behind him kept interfering with Mudea with feathered arrows, so he had to watch out for attacks from behind, so he was unable to succeed.
In the process of chasing north, Mudea suddenly discovered that the entire Shattered Leaf City had turned into a huge torch.
Although it is still unclear who and who is fighting, the sheer scale and tragic casualties made Mude'a realize the importance of the war he was involved in by chance, and he must bring relevant information to Abu? Governor Muslim.
In the constant pursuit, they got closer and closer to the Suye Water in the north of Broken Leaf City.
When Mutaia was still thinking about how to continue the chase by the river, he suddenly shot a dense rain of arrows from the direction of Suye Shui.
Mudea dodged the belly of his horse to avoid the rain of arrows, but his mount was killed by an arrow.
As he fled into the woods, Mude'a discovered that the palace guard's mount had also been hit by an arrow.
Mudea, who hid in the woods, searched for the little princess and observed what was happening.
Although he couldn't see it clearly, he roughly understood that there was a cavalry force of nearly 1,000 people preparing to cross the river from the banks of the Suye River, but it was crushed by their teams chasing back and forth.
The cavalry chasing Mude'a were clearly not in the same group as the troops preparing to cross the river, and after rescuing the little boy, they viciously fought with the troops crossing the river.
The cavalry on both sides were like giant beasts, violently colliding together, and the samurai continued to fall off their horses.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Mutaia picked up an ownerless war horse at the edge of the woods and touched it towards the Suye water.
In the woods by the river, Mudea found that a sheepskin raft had been set up in the river. The cavalrymen preparing to cross the river were crowding a little girl, anxious to get her on the raft.
Just as the little girl was about to board the sheepskin raft, the court guard rushed out of the woods on the other side with the little princess. Judging by his posture, he is preparing to take the raft and cross the river.
The palace guards hindered the little girl's boarding. But when he was about to board the ship with the little princess, the silver-armored general, who had been chasing Mudea, led dozens of cavalry to rush over, grabbed the little girl, and forced the palace guards back.
Mu Taia also killed at this moment, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to take away the little princess, but was successively blocked by the palace guards and silver armor generals who fought with each other. The three of them are in a scuffle, holding each other in.
At this time, thousands of cavalry rushed towards the Suye water. Mudea was weak and hurried into the woods.
Hidden at the edge of the woods, Mudea noticed that the palace guards seemed to have said something to the Silver Armor General, and then the two sides shook hands and made peace without any more fighting. Seeing such a situation, Mutaia had to admit that it was impossible for him to take the little princess away alone.
When he was discouraged, Mudea suddenly saw the cavalry preparing to cross the river escort a young man hurrying towards the river.
At that time, Mutaia did not know that the boy was Kudulu, and the little girl was Kudulu's sister Ayitengna.
Kudulu was also in a hurry to cross the river, but was almost caught by the silver armor general. At the last moment, Mutai Azema rushed over, took Kudulu and jumped directly into the river. Then, under the cover of the saddle, climb onto the sheepskin raft and smoothly cross the icy plain water.
By the time Kudulu and Mude'a struggled to piece together the events of the night despite the language barrier, they were already very close to the city of Talas.
By this time, Kudulu was already speaking simple Persian and the language of the Great Eat. Mutaia praised him for his natural intelligence and high talent for languages. Because he has been walking together for so long, Mudea still has only a handful of Turkic languages, let alone Tang languages.
When he was praised by Mudea'a, Kudulu only said lightly: "If Ayitengna is here, she will probably be fluent in these two languages......"
After understanding the cause and effect, Kudulu understood that Mudea, who came from the black-clothed food, regarded himself as a trophy to atone for his sins.
Kudulu was a little angry, but thinking of Mutaia's careful care along the way, he didn't care about anything anymore.
What's more, Father Khan's original plan was originally to defect to the Stone Kingdom under the protection of his relatives.
Although Aitengana was intelligent, she did not know the full plan of her father Khan. As the heir of the Turgish Khanate, Kudulu knew that his father Khan planned to use the geographical map of the mountains and rivers in the middle of the river and the relevant information of the Tang army to take refuge in the Great Cannibal, the old enemy of the Turgish.
As for why Father Khan knew that there was a Great Food Army in the territory of Shiguo, this was not something that Kudulu could understand.
On the day of the Battle of Broken Leaves, before preparing to break through, Father Khan hung the cowhide bag containing the atlas on his shoulder.
At first, Kudulu only thought that his father Khan was trying to defend the atlas with his life. After crossing the river, he realized that his father Khan was trying to protect his son's life and safety with the atlas.
"From the moment he handed over the cowhide bag to himself, Father Khan was ready to sacrifice for his children at any time!" Kudulu's tears flowed down his cheeks, like a flowing plain leaf water, slowly flowing.
