After the Uighurs retreated for the time being, the mayor finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that we can escape today." The Rangers also emerged from the mountain: "Now that the Uighurs are still blocking the entrance to the valley, it is too early to say that they have done so. ”

The mayor said, "They really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin...... Mr. Huang, do you think there is any way to send them away quickly? ”

Huang Taiji said: "Look, I wish they were crowded here." We Khitan have a saying that the pigs crowded in the pigsty are easy to catch, but the pigs in the forest are difficult to catch. ”

When the people saw that he was calm, they dispersed, and each of them cleaned up the battlefield, and there was no need to mention such trivial matters as torturing the prisoners.

Soon, the sun was setting west, and Huang Taiji called the rangers and said, "The so-called moon is dark and kills people, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire. It's getting dark. Are we thinking of having a vote for him? ”

Zhao Jiayu rubbed his hands and said: "I also have this idea, they are camped on the other side of the river, let's go and throw two grenades, shoot a cold gun or something, anyway, we can't let him get better." ”

Everyone made up their minds and decided to act after eating.

On the other side of the river, in the Uighur camp, Herahhan gathered the remnants of his defeated army together and said: "We cannot tolerate the courage of the people here to resist, and tomorrow we will kill all the men of this town, regardless of everything." ”

The Uighur soldiers understood the leader's words and burst out laughing. After arranging the guards, Herrahan asked the soldiers to bring two maidens to him, and they put the girls in their arms, and ate meat and drank a large glass. The hard work of the day in Herrahan was soon in vain.

In the camp, the soldiers who braved the "rain of bullets" of the guards during the day, although they did not capture a single one, did not prevent them from also having fun and chasing women in the camp. The Uighurs used to have a more civilized civilization, but that was also a matter of comparison. Moreover, since the fall of the Uighur Khanate, the Uighurs as a political entity have been extinct for four to five hundred years.

The Uighurs, who were ruled by the Western Xia kingdom's policy of divide and rule, were scattered across the provinces of Yibo, Hezhong, and Tocharo—the Uighurs in this case refer only to the Western Uighurs who had converted to Tianfang since the mid-to-late Tang dynasty. The Eastern Uighurs, who settled in the northern and southern parts of the Tien Shan Mountains in the east, had long been integrated into the Han Chinese people in Khotan, Qiuci, and Shule, and enjoyed the same national status because of their belief in Buddhism, which was revered as the state religion—they were regarded as second-class nationals, unable to serve in the military or politics, but could only engage in traditional trades such as herding and commerce, and did not even have the qualifications to settle down as farmers. For a long time, the Tangut kingdom had a long history of requisitioning a large number of young men from the Western Uighur tribes in the name of conscription, and less than half of these young men were often able to return alive.

Thus, on the one hand, because of the degradation of civilization from kingdom politics to tribal politics, and partly because of the chronic shortage of young men, the relationship between men and women was very neglected among the Uighur tribes, and it was not uncommon for several brothers and cousins to marry each other and then take turns to "live", and it could even be said that this was a very common thing among the Uighurs.

However, this habit made the self-proclaimed noble Tangut royal family even more despise the behavior of these barbarians for "not abiding by the etiquette and law", and even more discriminatory when formulating policies.

Without further ado, the warriors chased after their beloved girl, and then carried out the oldest movement of mankind in the midst of this scene, in order to perpetuate their genes. What they may not know is that this is the instinct of biologists who have worked tirelessly to study, and it is also the most turbulent story of mankind.

In the second half of the night, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, Zhao Jiayu took a few hunters and quietly touched the river, only to see the bonfire on the opposite bank, and the doorman on duty was also yawning.

Zhao Jiayu said in a low voice: "Don't be greedy, let's scare them, and then retreat to the forest, if they don't chase them out, we will blow them up again in another place." If you come out, you will be served with cold guns and arrows. ”

The hunters whispered yes, and quietly crossed the river. Touching the gate of the camp, Zhao Jiayu took advantage of the cover of the shrubs to touch the side of a doorman, and while he was dozing, he wiped a knife on his neck to put him down, and another knife on the neck of another doorman who was sitting on the ground and had slept like a dead pig, making him really a dead pig.

After killing the two guards, Zhao Jiayu beckoned to the hunters and asked them to come and get the guards' knives.

"See that tent?" Zhao Jiayu pointed to the nearest tent: "You go and hide in the woods over there, I'll throw a grenade here and blow up that tent." When everyone is coming, you take the opportunity to open fire. ”

After the hunters took their positions according to his instructions, Zhao Jiayu untied a grenade from his belt, pulled out the pull ring and threw it at the nearest tent.

After throwing it over, he hurried to the ground. This grenade is an authentic military product, licensed by Kruber, the most prestigious arms manufacturer in the Great Song Empire, and is quite powerful. If someone in the tent is really unlucky to spend the night in it, then it must be dead.

Sure enough, the sound of the explosion attracted a number of Uighurs, some of whom ran out of their tents with their bare butts and wrapped in sheets, and under the fire, they were the best targets. Zhao Jiayu also took out his horse pistol and fired two shots, then quickly moved a place and fired two more shots.

The Uighur camp was a mess, explosions rang out everywhere - the rangers came out from different places and threw grenades and even firecrackers, and in the panic, the camp was full of wolves and even trampling on each other, not knowing how many died under their own feet.

Drunk, Herrahhan came out of his tent and tried to control the situation, but under the influence of the alcohol, he was so lightheaded that he could not take two steps before he was out of breath, and it was the Uighur woman wrapped in a bed sheet who held him up so that he was not swept away by the crowd running around.

Seeing the chaos in the Uighur camp, the town mayor who was watching on the other side of the river sounded the New Year's drum as Huang Taiji had ordered, and the men, women, and children of the village shouted together: "The rebel army of Wang Shi is here!" Kill! Come on! Don't leave any of them! ”

The earth-shattering drums alarmed the Uighurs on the other side even more, and it was not known who suddenly shouted the Uighur language, and then everyone ran in the direction of the valley. Although only a few Rangers fired a few cold shots along the way, it only exacerbated the collapse of their fragile minds.

After dawn the next day, Huang Taiji accompanied the mayor and the others to check along the way, and found that the Uighur camp was in shambles, and the corpses that had trampled to death were all over the road, and all of them had hideous faces, which were very eye-catching.

The Rangers took out the famous Tajik hunting knives and cut off the heads of the Uighurs, both men and women, and piled them up in a flat area at the entrance to the valley to make a jingguan, and the hunters gathered the corpses together and doused them with oil and cremated them. Huang Yang finally couldn't help but rush to the river and vomit when he watched those young and old heads being hastily thrown together, and the body without the head emitted an indescribable unpleasant smell in the flames.

Guo Shan's black bodyguards were so excited that they cut off the left ears of the Uighurs as a windfall for their expedition. This cruel scene really can't even stand the battle-hardened Huang Taiji. Just as he was about to speak out to stop the black veterans' actions, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him.

"Which one is the mayor?"

A horseman asked, on top of a horse.

"I am."

"Hello, Mr. Mayor." The cavalry saluted: "I am the herald of the 154th Regiment, and our regimental headquarters has been assembled, and the whole team has moved to the place of rebellion." It is expected to pass through here at noon today. Do you have any further information about the rebels? ”

The 154th Regiment, whose full name is the 154th Regiment of the 2nd Garrison Division of the Great Xia Kingdom, has a full establishment of 1,200 people, a total of three battalions and one regimental headquarters, and is scattered in several barracks in the eastern part of Hezhong Province. The day before yesterday, the company that hastily attacked and was defeated by the Uighurs was Company C of the 1543rd Battalion under the 154th Regiment. Maintaining the composure of the Kingdom's regular army in the face of Uighur pursuit, they triumphantly moved to the garrison of the 1542nd Battalion, where they regained contact with the regimental headquarters through the friendly telegraph system. After learning of the presence of a large number of rebels in the defense area, the regimental headquarters of the 154th Regiment reported to the Governor's Office of Ha Chung Province in accordance with the prescribed procedures, and at the same time gathered its regular army and part of the militia and went to the rebel site to prepare for counterinsurgency operations.
