Chapter Seventy-Three: One Hundred Secrets Meets the Golden Wolf Fourth
Kudulu could have gone out of patrol, but he was bored and had no food, so he put on his armor, mounted the golden wolf horse, and led the team out of the camp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info▲∴,
According to common sense, during night patrols, more than 5,000 cavalry cavalry should be divided into several or even dozens of teams, scattered in all directions of the large army camp, and monitor every move around them.
Although Kudulu, who was extremely dissatisfied with Hamid, chose to forbear for the time being, he deliberately gathered more than 5,000 cavalry together, set up a position, and left the camp in one go.
"You let me patrol, and I'll take all the Turgish warriors and swagger around Talas." The few remaining youthful qualities in Kudulu's heart made him choose to vent his dissatisfaction in a prank-up way.
Suluk understood that the secret service was angry with Hamid, and he smiled, but did not stop him.
On the grassland, for thousands of years, it has always been to worship the strong and despise the weak. As the leader of a tribe or khanate, if he is obedient and does not dare to fight, he will never be able to win the love of his people and the respect of his enemies.
Therefore, Suluk did not object to Kudulu's joking revolt. The young and vigorous Bakut screamed excitedly and applauded the special services.
"What a Kudulu, he deliberately went against me!" Hamid found out about Khudulu's trick and was very angry: "Look how I torture you tomorrow!" ”
Hamid was full of hatred, but he was very afraid of Abu?? Muslim did not dare to go too far with the Turgish.
Hamid knew that the loss of Talas in half a day had greatly diminished his weight in the governor's heart. The reason why he was able to command the remaining troops and horses was only because the governor remembered that he had been stationed nearby for a long time and was familiar with the terrain.
In order to ensure that the Anxi army could be defeated in one fell swoop, the governor took away almost all the elite of the Khorasan cavalry, leaving only the 5,000 Khorasan cavalry of Hamid to deter the Turgish tribe and the rest of the servant army.
Hamid is well aware that Abu ?? Since the Governor of Muslim rebelled against the Umayyads, he relied on his command of 40,000 Khorasan cavalry, and won many battles and became famous. Therefore, the Tocharian and Sogdian servant armies were in awe of the governor and the Khorasan cavalry, and did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Under the governor, naturally, there was the commander Ziyad. As the governor's right and left hand, Ziyad's bravery also terrified the enemy.
And Hamid himself is just a thousand commanders. If it weren't for the 5,000 Khorasan cavalry under his command, he wouldn't have been able to suppress the tens of thousands of servants.
Therefore, Hamid, who was very inward-looking, muttered a few cruel words, but did not leave the camp and Kudulu theory.
Hamid is clear, Abu?? Governor Muslim was very concerned about Khuturu and the Turgish tribes. However, he did not understand why. But this was enough for him not to dare to persecute Kudulu too harshly, but only secretly pondered how to do it when attacking the city tomorrow.
The camp of the Turkish tribe was south of Talas. After Kudulu left the camp with his men, under the light of the sunset, he ran directly south for more than 20 miles.
Seeing that there were no more eyes and ears of the Khorasan cavalry around, Kudulu found a flat meadow and ordered the whole army to dismount and rest, and fill their stomachs.
All of a sudden, in addition to the scouts in charge of the vigilance, thousands of turquoise cavalry cavalry were hurrying to gnaw on dry food.
Kudulu shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and as soon as he took out his share of dry food, he heard a report from the scout: "Special service, there are about 20 cavalry faintly in the east, and the armor looks like a great cannibal Khorasan cavalry." ”
"Hamid, you deceived people too much, and even sent someone to follow you!" Kudulu was furious: "Suluk, prepare for war!" Capture this Khorasan cavalry alive, let Hamid understand that our army is not easy to bully! ”
Suluk didn't expect Hamid to be so impotent, and the ignorant karmic fire suddenly sprang up: "Attach the army, line up!" ”
After Hakim and Ma Ling led 300 cannibal cavalry and 300 Beiting cavalry out of the woods where Wang Fei and the others were hiding, they divided the 600 cavalry into 30 squads and scattered them to guard the surrounding area.
In each squad, there are ten Great Food Cavalry and ten Beiting Cavalry. In this way, it can not only confuse the scouts and patrols of the Great Food Rebels, but also ensure sufficient combat power.
Hakim and Ma Lu personally led a team of twenty men and marched vigilantly to the west, probing the surrounding area for any enemy troops passing by.
After traveling all the way for three or four miles, he did not see any scouts and patrols of the Great Food Rebels, which made Ma Lan amazed: "I don't know who led the Great Food Rebels besieging the city, they were so careless and sloppy, God bless the Tang Dynasty!" ”
The twilight is deep and the afterglow dissipates. Just as he was sighing, Ma Lan suddenly saw several figures flashing in front of him.
Ma Ling gestured to Hakim, signaling that there was an enemy ahead. Hakim reorganized his armor and prepared to repeat his old trick and trap the enemy.
Hakim had just laid out "Abu?? Muslim guarded", but saw that the figure in front of him did not approach, but slapped his horse and ran.
"What's going on?" The rebel scouts I met before, after seeing the armor and banners of Hakim and others, would take the initiative to get close to talk. The first time he encountered a rebel scout who ran away, Hakim was very confused.
Ma Lan suddenly felt a little uneasy, but before he could figure out what was wrong, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from in front of him.
"More than a thousand rides! How could there be scouts on such a scale! Ma Lan jumped off Feishuang's back, listened to it for a moment, and said in surprise.
Hakim couldn't understand what Ma Lu was saying, but he could sense something unusual in the sound of the approaching horses' hooves.
Hakim hesitated for a moment to turn around and run, but after thinking about it, he decided to take the risk. After all, he and his ten subordinates are real cannibals, and ordinary rebels should not be able to tell whether they are loyal to the Umayyad family or support the rebel Abbasids.
Ma Lan didn't ask questions, but he also roughly guessed Hakim's plan, so he took the Beiting tooth soldiers and hid behind the Great Food Cavalry. Fortunately, the big eater horse is very tall, and Hakim and the others are also relatively tall and burly, enough to cover the Beiting Ya soldiers riding Turkic horses. Only Ma Lu, who rode the flying frost, was not inferior to the Great Eater Cavalry in height, so he had to bend his waist and hide at the end of the line.
"Who's coming?" Hakim has long been the court guard of the Umayyad family, and he is full of momentum.
"Hamid's lackey, come to your life!" Someone on the other side replied fluently in big food language.
Hakim understood every word he spoke, and could even tell from some pronunciation habits that the person who spoke was not a cannibal, but he couldn't understand the meaning of this headless sentence.
"We are Abu?? Governor Muslim's personal guard, who are you! Although he couldn't figure out the identity of the other party, Hakim subconsciously felt, "Abu?? The name "Muslim Guard" should work.
"The Governor's guard?" Angry, Kudulu hurriedly reined in the reins of his horse and ordered the detachment to stop.
Seeing that he had made the right bet, Hakim shouted triumphantly, "Are you blind? How dare you run into us! If the task assigned by the governor is delayed, who of you will be responsible? ”
Hiding at the end of the line, although he couldn't understand the big food, he could also judge from Hakim's tone that he was skillfully playing the role of the governor's personal guard.
Ma Ling sighed secretly: "The palace guards of the Umayyad family are estimated to do bad things about bullying the weak every day, no wonder there is a civil war in Dashi." However, the Long Wu Army in Chang'an City and other Beiya forbidden troops are no better! However, the Beiting Tooth Soldiers, under the protection of the capital, abide by military discipline. ”
"I don't know it's the Governor's guard, I'm really sorry!" Kudulu apologized as he drove his horse forward, taking advantage of the last bit of light in the western sky to carefully examine the ten cavalry in front of him.
"The horse is a big food horse, the clothes and armor are right, the decoration of the scimitar is also good, and the big food language is also very fluent, but why do you always feel a little awkward?" Kudulu always felt that something was wrong.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way! Don't delay us back to camp! The Governor's urgent military order must not be delayed! Seeing that the other party was soft, Hakim struck the snake with the stick and scolded loudly. But he didn't know the identity of the other party, so he could only pretend to shout.
"Dare to ask what the guards are called?" Seeing Hakim's face, Khudulu decided that it would be better to be cautious.
"Humph! What are you? How dare you question me! Hakim drew his scimitar and pointed it at Kuduru.
Suluk immediately clenched the short spear in his hand, ready to shoot Hakim at any moment. Bakut, who was glaring angrily, quietly took out his bow and arrows.
"How dare you?" Kudulu was not annoyed, but humbly smiled in the language of the Great Eater: "I am very familiar with Centurion Mutaia beside the governor, I wonder if he is okay at this moment?" ”
Seeing that Khudulu's posture was very low, Hakim could not continue to be angry. He didn't know who Mutaia was, but thinking that the Great Food rebels would have the upper hand and should not lose a few centurions, he pretended to be impatient and replied: "Centurion Mutaia is unharmed, don't worry!" ”
"Thank you! So I'm relieved! Kudulu relaxed, and then asked in a nonchalant tone, "What about the Centurion of Rahaman?" ”
Hakim's eyes turned, and in order to make it more realistic, he pretended to sigh sadly: "The resistance of the Anxi army is very tenacious, and the Centurion of Rahman was shot by an arrow from the Tang Army, and his right leg was accidentally injured. ”
"Oh?" Kudulu shook his head and sighed, "What a pity! I haven't seen him in a long time......"
"The injury is not serious, you don't have to worry." Hakim admired himself more and more.
"Our army is responsible for patrols, and all people who come and go must be strictly checked. I just offended, please forgive me! Kudulu apologized again: "We still have to inspect the west of the city, so we won't delay you!" ”
Without waiting for Hakim to speak, Kudulu gave a low order for the entire army to return.
"There is no danger! Thanks to my quick response! After the detachment left, Hakim laughed.
Ma Lu had been hiding with his head down, and in the increasingly dim twilight, he did not recognize the Turk Cavalry in front of him.
Seeing more than a thousand horsemen coming and retreating obediently, Ma Lu also thought that the other party had been deceived by Hakim, so he didn't think much about it.
Finding that there was an enemy in the west, Ma Ling and Hakim no longer headed west, but quickly turned back and reported the military situation to Wang Yong and others.
When they turned around, Ma Lu did not realize that Bakut was far behind them with several Tirish cavalry with excellent horsemanship.
After Ma Lan and the others entered the woods where the Beiting army was hiding, Kudulu, who got the news, immediately led 5,000 cavalry to kill and aimed his cold arrows at the woods.
"Kudulu?!" Ma Lan suddenly realized at this time: "The more than 1,000 horsemen just now are the Tuqi Shi people!" ”
After figuring out the situation, Ma Lan regretted it: "If I don't hide, I think Kudulu will definitely recognize me, and I will definitely recognize him." In this way, the hiding place of the army will not be exposed. It's just that how did Khudulu see the flaw from Hakim? ”
"Kudulu Special Service, how did you find us?" Ma Lan couldn't help but ask.
"You ask that strange cannibal, how could Rahaman have just been shot and wounded by the Anxi army after he died in Tingzhou City?" Kudulu laughed angrily and said, "If it weren't for that, I would have almost been fooled by him!" ”
"One hundred secrets!" Ma Lan blamed himself bitterly: "Xiao Langjun, this is a certain fault!" If this affects the plan of the Western Expedition, I will die and cannot redeem it! ”
"Uncle Ma Lan, don't be discouraged. Kudulu should not know that Yi Yue is also in the forest, this may be our turning point, at least to buy some time. Wang Fei's dark eyes stared at Ayitengna.
Aitengana immediately understood what Wang Fei meant, she tilted her head and thought for a while, nodded solemnly, and ran quickly towards the outside of the forest.
Ashina Xiaoyun and Ashina Wenxia were like falling into the clouds, and they didn't understand what Wang Fei meant.
Outside the woods, Kudulu was about to order the Turk cavalry to shoot arrows, when he heard someone crying and shouting, "Brother! I am here! ”
"Sister!" Ayitengna's voice startled Kudulu, and he hurriedly and anxiously ordered, "Put down your bow and arrows!" Put down your bow and arrows! ”
When Ayitengna's face appeared in front of him, Kudulu's tears poured down like plain leaves.
"Sister!" Kudulu knelt on the ground, hugged Aitengna who ran out, and tears rolled down: "It's really you!" It's really you! ”
"Brother, it's me! It's me! Aitengna smirked, no longer as smart as usual.
At this time, in Kudulu's eyes, the monotonous night began to become colorful, and the angry and depressed mood suddenly bloomed like a flower.
