Chapter 491: Good and Bad
"Great Khan, good news, great news."
Outside Lushan City, if it is said that the former Lushan City is a pearl on the grassland, because of its special geographical location, which attracts the attention of countless merchants and herdsmen inside and outside the Guan, then the current Lushan City is a broken pearl.
Not only because of the war, this large city, which was previously considered a large city on the grassland, was extremely dilapidated, but more importantly, with the beginning of the war, the previous endless stream of merchants and travelers also completely lost their traces, and they were inaccessible, comparable to the Jedi in the mountains.
After months of life-and-death fighting, the situation in the city is unknown, but for the besieging side, the Turkic army led by Ashina Guduolu himself has suffered hardship.
The Turkic army, which is not good at siege warfare at all, this time for those Lushan cities, got down from the horse to the ground, and rushed towards the solid Lushan city in waves, as for the price, it was also extremely miserable, the previous 200,000 troops, and tens of thousands of soldiers of vassal tribes, in addition to the 50,000 elites who followed Ashide Yuanzhen to the south, are now able to stand up and continue to fight a little more than 100,000, which is tragic, which can be seen.
"What good news, it is not that Lushan City is broken, or that the army has attacked the city wall."
Hearing the shouts of the comers, there was no surprise at all in the Chinese army's big tent, if it was said that at the beginning of the siege, it was possible to make a little progress that could make him excited for a long time, then after a few months, Lushan City was still like a terrifying beast, standing there, no matter how their hundreds of thousands of troops attacked, but they still couldn't help him, and even devoured a lot of warriors by him, so now the so-called good news is difficult to make Ashina Bone Duolu have any big fluctuations.
"Great Khan, this time is really good news, just now when our people attacked Lushan City, they got a few arrows with fur tied, which said that as long as the Great Khan can ensure that their tribe will not be violated by the army after the Great Khan unified the northern grasslands, they are willing to help us, from the inside of Lushan City, and take Lushan City from the outside."
As if he didn't see Ashina Guduolu's expression, Batu said excitedly, he knew that Ashina Guduolu would definitely be extremely excited after hearing the news.
Sure enough, just as Batu guessed, Ashina Guduolu's reaction to this news was extremely strong.
"What, what do you say, there are people in Lushan City who want to surrender, this ........ How is this possible, it can't be fake! ”
Sometimes, happiness comes too quickly, which is not a good thing, because people who suddenly hit five million and have a heart attack or cerebral thrombosis emerge in an endless stream, and like different people, people like Ashina Guduolu, although they don't care about any so-called money, but when it comes to the things he cares about very much, he is not more rational than ordinary people.
"Rest assured, the Khan is true, you see, this is the fur they have passed on."
"Okay, good, good, it's actually the Tongluo tribe of Guilin Mansion and the Baifei tribe of Yanzhou Prefecture, it's no wonder, the two tribes are usually not very close to the Hui tribe, and even because of the competition for grassland, they have repeatedly fought with the Hui tribe, if at the beginning, they reluctantly joined forces with the Hui tribe to resist us, just to gain benefits, then now as more and more tribal warriors die, Lushan City is also falling at any time, they will be completely shaken."
While praising in his mouth, Ashina Guduolu kept muttering.
"Great Khan, do you see if we should give them a reply as soon as possible on this matter, otherwise, if it takes a long time and they think that we don't agree, then we will be in trouble if we concentrate on defending Lushan City."
Seeing Ashina's appearance, Batu took the opportunity to ask.
"Well, yes, I'll leave this matter to you, you are one of the few smart people among our Turks, and this matter is left to you, Ben Khan believes that there will be no mistakes."
"Subordinates obey."
After receiving Ashina's order, Batu rushed out with great excitement.
As soon as Batu went out, he saw that the curtain of the tent was stirred, and the chief of the guard of the tent walked in with a bald head and a bird feather on his head.
Seeing the person coming, a curious feeling suddenly rose in Ashina's heart, among this Turkic people, the person who can put a bird feather on his head is nothing else, this is a person who specializes in taming flying eagles, and they call themselves falcon guards.
Although the Turks claimed to be the descendants of the wolf, and all the tribes worshipped the wolf very much, in addition to the wolf, another animal was also a god in the eyes of the Turks, that is, the overlord of the sky, the eagle.
For the Turks, the characteristics of the wolf are stoic, fierce and united, while the eagle is arrogant and strong, and the eagle's ability to soar for nine days also makes the Turks envious.
Therefore, if the wolf represents all the Turkic peoples, then the eagle represents the nobility of the Turkic peoples, and the Eagle Guardians are a special group born in this situation.
They say that they are eagle guards, in fact, they are falcon trainers, as long as they are falcon guards, they have been taught the methods of eagle training by their parents since they were young, and then before they become adults, they must tame an eagle by themselves, so that they can be recognized by the clan.
"Batubrin, what are you doing?" Ashina Gudolu asked.
"Hui Yu Khan, there is indeed one thing, although it does not seem big, but you once said that as long as it is about the southward army, you must tell you, so I will come to you directly." The Eagle Protector Batublin said after saluting Ashina Guduolu.
"What's the matter, tell me quickly, what's wrong with the army going south, something has to happen." Hearing Batubulin's words, Ashina's excitement just now disappeared completely, and was replaced by excitement and worry on his face.
This period of time can be said to be the most difficult time for Ashina Guduolu, even more unbearable than the situation when he first started his army, on the one hand, the stubbornness of the resistance of Lushan City made him extremely angry, and on the other hand, he was extremely worried about Ashid Yuanzhen's southward movement.
I don't know why, in the past, as long as it was Ashde Yuanzhen's departure, he was extremely relieved, and never paid much attention, he knew that with Ashde Yuanzhen's ability and means, there was nothing in the world that could be difficult to stop him, but this time I don't know why, Ashina Gu Duolu was extremely worried about Ashde Yuanzhen who went south, and repeatedly dreamed that something happened to Ashde Yuanzhen and the army going south.
"Back to the Khan King, here's the thing, according to the habit of the past, every five days we and Lord Ashed Yuanzhen who went south will always have a contact through the Flying Eagle, but this time I don't know why, the Flying Eagle released the day before yesterday returned this morning, but they didn't bring back any news, and from the appearance of the Flying Eagle, they actually didn't find Lord Ashd Yuanzhen and the army going south, and they felt that something was wrong, so they could only come to report the Great Khan." Batublin, the Eagle Guardian, said.
This is the role of the Eagle Guardians, when the transmission of information is extremely slow, they can transmit messages through their own flying eagles, and this way of transmission is even faster than the transmission of messages by carrier pigeons, which is also the reason why the Eagle Guardians have a noble status in the minds of the Turks.
"What, I didn't find Astride Yuanzhen and the army going south, how is this possible, it's tens of thousands of elite troops, how could it suddenly disappear for no reason, the last time Ashde Yuanzhen sent a message and said that all the murderers who killed our people have been besieged, as long as it takes a while, they can be completely annihilated, how can it be gone now, could it be that your flying eagle made a mistake, or did there be some other accident."
Ashina Gu Duolu suddenly asked anxiously.
"It's ....... Returning to the Great Khan, although the Flying Eagle will also make mistakes, but it all happens when it is extremely uncertain or the environment is extremely harsh, this time is different, according to the news transmitted back by Lord Ashed Yuanzhen, the location of their army is near the Snake Valley, besides, the subordinate Flying Eagle has also performed this kind of task many times in the past, this situation is the most difficult, it is impossible for the Flying Eagle to not find people, unless it is ........."
Speaking of this, Batubulin suddenly shut up when he said this.
Although Batubulin did not continue, everyone present knew what he meant, and the flying eagle would not go wrong, but now it is true that he has not found Ashed Yuanzhen and the tens of thousands of troops going south, so there is only one possibility, that is, Asted Yuanzhen and tens of thousands of troops have completely disappeared, if the battle goes well, the army will definitely not disappear, so it seems that the most likely result is that Ashed Yuanzhen and tens of thousands of troops are defeated, or a very rapid collapse defeat, otherwise it will not be in just a few days, Dramatically different results can occur.
"No....... Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, anyone will fail, but Ashed Yuanzhen will never fail, he is the wise man who Changshengtian gave to Ben Khan and our Turks, how could he fail, how could Changshengtian fail, this is impossible, absolutely impossible, it must be you who are mistaken, even if the flying eagle is smart, it is just a brute, come here, send the best spies, go south to find out the news of Lord Asrid Yuanzhen, I want to get the most real news, go quickly. ”
Ashina, who couldn't believe all this, kicked the eagle protector Batublin in front of him to the ground, and yelled at the chief guard beside him.
"Subordinates obey."
The chief of the guard, who was frightened by Ashina's anger, didn't even say a little superfluous words, and took the order.
......................
In the city of Lushan, the streets that were once lively and prosperous like the big city in the Guannei are now in a mess, which is not done by the Tiele army in the city, although for the steppe people, the robbery of property is already a thing integrated into their bones, but on their own territory, they are still more particular, the reason why this is so, are done by the Turks when they attack the city.
In order to capture the city of Lushan, the Turks can be said to have done everything, everything that can be thought of, have been used, arson is one of them, these messes are the result of the Turks throwing rockets outside the city.
In addition to the mess, it is the half-dead soldiers of the various tribes of Tiele, and the months of fighting not only exhausted the morale of the Turkic army, but also an extremely cruel test for the Tiele tribes in Lushan City.
The day and night of fighting had made all the warriors of the Tiele tribes completely numb, and at the same time, under the surface of numbness, there was an increasingly difficult to suppress fear.
Everyone knows that the so-called strongest army is actually the army that kills the most people, and this kind of army can be described as endless in history, but who knows that this kind of army often appears for a very short time, and the personnel who make up this kind of army, whether it is a general or a soldier, the result will be extremely tragic.
It is often heard in history that some generals who are invincible on the battlefield will go crazy in their old age or during illness, claiming that they have seen all kinds of terrifying scenes and the ghosts of former enemies, and finally they are so frightened that they die of fear.
And after these things were pierced and opened, they became magical legends such as ghosts asking for their lives.
In fact, the truth is not a funny situation such as a powerful ghost asking for his life, but in the past conquest career, this kind of person has seen too much blood and horror, usually because of the existence of reason, can still be suppressed, but in old age or when he is sick, because of the weakness of the body, the consciousness is not as strong as before, this kind of horror in the mind of the past is difficult to suppress the resurface, in addition to some illusions, it becomes a kind of ghost asking for life.
In addition to these, the situation of the camp is also a manifestation of this fear, not long ago in Lushan City, there was a phenomenon of this phenomenon, a tribe of warriors in the middle of the night because of fear shouted that the Turks attacked, for a while, the tribe was already in fear of the warriors have risen to fight.
In the middle of the night, a tribe of thousands of people was finished, and the next morning, when the armies of other tribes drove in, the miserable situation made even the murderers who were used to seeing corpses a little unbearable.
After that incident, although everyone knew that if the fight continued, the entire Lushan City was not far from collapse, but no one dared to mention the retreat or surrender, everyone knew that whether the Tiele tribes could continue to survive in this grassland depended on whether this Lushan City could hold on, and all their prospects and hopes had been connected with this Lushan City. But if the Turks in the north of Lushan City are captured, in order to eliminate their biggest enemy, what the Turks will do to the Tiele tribes, I'm afraid only God knows.
