This is the third day that Cheng Chumo has been trapped in Yan'er Mountain, originally they still occupied most of the territory of Yan'er Mountain Canyon, but now under the approach of Azuli, the territory is less than half of the original. 23us. fastest

The Turkic offensive became more and more rapid, at first only every two hours. But since yesterday, the Turkic offensive has become once an hour.

And the scale has also changed from a team of 200 cavalry at the beginning to two teams of 400 cavalry now. Cheng Huailiang knew what this meant, once the Turks attacked from the front and rear, it meant that the other party had completely surrounded them.

It was not without his choice to break through, in fact on the first night of the siege, he climbed the gap in the southeast with five hundred infantry.

But......

It had long been occupied by the Azali army, and although the terrain was gentle, if you chose to break through from there, the cavalry would be the biggest problem. Although it is easy to talk about people on the mountain road, it is very difficult for horses.

And they had to lose most of their baggage, but if they did, how would they face the four thousand cavalry of the Apocalypse.

And it is impossible for their five hundred infantry to break through at all, there are too many Turks.

Whether it was a three-way attack, it all ended in Cheng Chumo's failure.

Ah Repel is worthy of being a cautious general, even if he has now surrounded Cheng Chumo's 2,000 people, he still did not rush forward.

He is naturally not in a hurry, not to mention that this feeling of catching turtles in the middle of the dragon really makes him feel good.

At this time, as night fell, Cheng Chumo, who had been riding on horseback, also shook his body and fell directly from it. Fortunately, the soldiers on the side were quick and caught him.

He was so tired, it had been three whole days, and Cheng Huailiang himself was almost unable to remember, and he met several Turkic attacks.

Although the opponent made a feint several times, he still had to deal with it with all his might. Now that they are at a disadvantage, even if he knows that the other party is consuming their mental power, he can't slack off in the slightest.

Because as long as the Turkic cavalry advanced an inch, they could hold out for a minute less.

Yan'er Mountain at night is the most dangerous time, and all the soldiers dare not make a fire. For three days in a row, they were all eating dry food. Even in the daytime, Cheng Chumo and they didn't dare to make a fire to cook, because once the smoke came out, their whereabouts would be completely exposed. All the soldiers were exhausted to the extreme, and their morale was extremely low.

Unlike them, at this time, the rough singing of the Turks would be heard in the Turkic camp outside. Although everyone knew that this was each other's psychological tactics, they still felt extremely uncomfortable.

On Yan'er Mountain, scouts from both sides continued to sweep the vicinity. Night has become their best protective color, and all those who travel in the night must be vigilant enough.

On the top of the hill, Zhao Zhong slowly untied the cloth wrapped around his hand, and the whole person slowly lay on the ground, because just three feet in front of him, he found a figure walking.

It's an enemy scout!

Almost instantly, Zhao Zhong made a judgment, and he hunched over and slowly approached the other party. He couldn't use a knife, and the scouts on the other side were all in a team of several people. If the smell of blood is discovered by the other party, then you will be exposed.

Two zhang ......

One Zhang......

The distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, and the other party obviously didn't notice Zhao Zhong lying on the ground. He had explored this area before, and with the base camp five miles behind him, his overconfidence made him even more daring.

But his carelessness deprived him of the right to live. Almost instantly, Zhao Zhong on the ground jumped up, and then strangled the other party's neck with a set of cloth strips with both hands. At the same time, the whole person was also pressed up, not letting the other party move and make the slightest sound.

The strangled Turkic scout didn't expect Zhao Zhong to make a move here. Suddenly attacked, I wanted to resist but was trapped by death. So after struggling weakly for a while, he kicked his legs and stopped moving.

After another moment, Zhao Zhong slowly let go of his hands, which were already a little numb. He rolled over slowly, lying on his side on the ground.

Looking at the little bonfire in the Turkic camp ahead, Zhao Zhong also licked his lips unconsciously. He hadn't drunk hot water in three days, let alone been able to eat a hot meal. If this person does not eat hot food, he will always feel that his body is very afraid of cold. And when he saw the bonfire in the Turkic camp, he had an urge to pounce on it.

He shook his head, suppressed his ridiculous thoughts, and began to look around him instead.

In the dark Yan'er Mountain at night, only the Turkic camp has a bonfire. He took a closer look at the other party's location, it was less than twenty miles away from their base camp, and at the speed of the other party, it would only take a day at most to find them.

And this is still only the situation in the east, and the Turkic army in the west is not expected to be much slower than here, so it seems that tomorrow is the time for a decisive battle.

Zhao Zhong felt that his breathing was a little calmer, and then he slowly lay his body flat. He didn't even dare to gasp for air, and that's why he had survived so long.

It's just that when he lay down, he suddenly saw something strange. It was as if an orange-red star was floating overhead.

His eyes widened and he rubbed hard, not believing it. How could there be such a big star, and it rose from the ground?

But at this time, not only him, but also the Turks and Cheng Chumo near Yan'er Mountain also discovered this strange thing. They all stared at the sky with wide eyes.

Azuli in the Turkic camp was wiping his sword under the lamp at this moment, but suddenly saw one of his men rushing in. He said excitedly:

"Khan, the Kamu envoy said that there is a great star rising upside down in the sky, which is a good omen!"

Kamu is also the Turkic name for shamans, like Turkic and Uighur...... These ethnic groups all have shamanism as their state religion. It can be said that the status of shamans in their hearts is extremely high, and now that they suddenly heard the Kamu envoy say that a great star was rising upside down, Azuli was naturally very excited. Hurriedly left the camp.

When Abuli came out, the Kamu envoy outside the tent was already kneeling on the ground, and he set up a forty-foot-long wooden pole on the right side of the tent, with a golden rooster hanging on the top of the pole, and a white sheep tied to the pole. On the left side of the tent stood a wooden pole forty feet long, on the top of which hung a silver rooster, and under the pole a black sheep was tethered. ”

The four white sheep and the black sheep were sacrifices, and the golden and silver roosters on the top of the poles and the eagles adorned on the tops of the poles symbolized the messenger who could bring his faith to the heavens.

Ah Qili also looked up at the sky, and sure enough, he saw a big orange star, which was slowly rising, and he knelt down with a pop.

"Great Ashina-sama, did you hear the call of Ashina? Did you send down the gods to bless me? ”

In the minds of the Turks, their ancestors had sexual intercourse with wolves, and finally gave birth to these Turkic races. Therefore, the wolf is a great god in their hearts, and this Ashis what they call this god.

As soon as Abu Li knelt down like this, all the other soldiers also knelt down, and they all prayed to the rising star together with the Kamu Divine Envoy.

So the question is, what is this upside-down rising star?

Of course, it is impossible for stars to really rise from the earth to the sky, except for birds, and only Qin Ze can rise in this era.

That's right, this so-called big star is actually a hot air balloon made by Qin Ze. After he knew that Cheng Chumo was trapped, he started to think about it. In this era, there were no telescopes, and their scouts couldn't get close, so Qin Ze wanted to take a hot air balloon into the air to inspect the military situation.

The reason why I have to wait until the evening is also because I can not expose myself in the first place. Second, at night, as long as there is a bonfire, it is especially easy to spot.

It's just that I didn't expect to accidentally make a cameo appearance as a Turkic Ashina god, and I was also kneeling down and worshipping by tens of thousands of people......

He was now controlling the balloon with one hand, and the other side was also looking down. Sure enough, I saw that the entire Yan'er Mountain had been completely surrounded, especially at the place where the two exits were, and there was a large bonfire.

Qin Ze carefully observed these bonfires and found that there were obviously more in the east than in the west. This means that the other side is putting the main force in the east, and if they want to save people, they can only choose to come from the west.

As he was watching, he suddenly heard a shout from the Turkic camp beneath him. And along with this shout, there was an increasingly rapid drum beat.

Qin Ze couldn't understand Turkic either, and thought he had been discovered, so he hurriedly began to control the hot air balloon and run to the side.

Fortunately, he didn't know that he had now become a god in the hearts of the Turks, and tens of thousands of people knelt down to him at the same time, otherwise he would have blown this matter for a year.

In addition, in the Turkic camp under him, the song of the Kamu envoy became louder and louder, and the shaman drum in his hand was also beaten by him. As if they had gone mad, the Turks began to roar, and the drums grew tighter and tighter, and the roars of the crowd grew louder and louder.

Finally, when the mood reached a climax, the shaman suddenly paused, and then as soon as his body drooped, the whole person softened and began to fall backwards.

But strangely, no one stepped forward to support him, even when the other party's body had been tilted more than forty-five degrees. He opened his eyes suddenly, but the whole person suddenly stood up again.

"Ulla! Ashina! Ulla! Ashina! ”

The Turkic soldiers roared frantically again, and kept bowing down to the Kamu envoys.

That's right, the great Kamu envoy has already invited Ashina down.

"Achille, my people." The Kamu Divine Envoy's lips were tightly closed, but a loud sound came out, and Aqili, who was immediately called by name, quickly knelt at the feet of the Kamu Divine Envoy.

"Ashina-sama!"

"Go, God will bless you. Use the blood of the wolf to shred the vulnerable Datang. Go for it......"

If Qin Ze knew what was going on underneath, he would definitely be surprised. Because where did this Nima come from, isn't it just a hot air balloon? Don't you want to make such a big noise!

But fortunately, he doesn't know, otherwise, where do you put the faces of the 10,000 soldiers of Abuli?
