Chapter 399: Ambush
Darkhan was overjoyed and smiled: "So wonderful! We can rest assured. ”
Kuruk smashed his mouth and said leisurely: "Compared with the Ming army, I am more worried about whether the two of us will make the court angry and the nobles angry, hateful and troublesome." ”
Darhan raised his horsewhip in his hand nonchalantly and said, "What's so difficult about this? We didn't go from county to county, these people who were taken away had no braids, it was a capital crime, and they were suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so what did it matter if they were arrested and used as slaves. ”
Kuruk thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's it, even if someone sues?" In the chaos of war, who cares if the Han people live or die? As long as the princes pacify the anti-thieves in Shanxi, and finally reward them for their meritorious deeds, they will all be happy, and no one will pay attention to the affairs of several counties, let's continue. ”
Darkhan laughed: "That's how it should be! ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, looking at each other in embarrassment, smelling like each other.
At this time, a horse in the distance rushed like a fly, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the two people, and immediately the knight followed the etiquette of the Mongolian army, more than ten steps away on a beautiful foot jump, and the horse landed, while kneeling, while shouting urgently: "There is an urgent report!" ”
Kuruk recognized this person as a scout from outside his tribe, and when he saw that he was in a hurry, he couldn't help frowning his eyebrows, and said unhappily: "What's the alarm? ”
The knight paused and said: "The report is true, fifty miles away near Taigu County, a large anti-thief team was found, about 10,000 people, few people on horseback, escorting nearly 300 carts, swaggering towards Taigu County, looking at its appearance, it seems to be going to attack Taigu County!" ”
"Attack Taigu County?" Kurukqi said, repeating in disbelief: "Anti-thieves are going to attack Taigu County? ”
Darhan also felt surprised, the county near Taiyuan, although the Qing court was not strictly controlled, the rebellious people's army did not dare to occupy, because the distance was too far away from the city was too close, not to mention the cavalry, even if the foot soldiers could arrive in a day, these county towns generally had low walls, and some did not even have a city wall, and they could not defend it, so even if someone made trouble and rebelled, they were generally locals around the county, and they fled to other places after killing officials and looting, and few rebels from other places took the initiative to approach, and this time it was the first time to encounter.
"Do you see, they are really heading towards Taigu County?" Darkhan asked, his tone still tinged with disbelief.
"The little one looks carefully, that road leads to Taigu, and there is no other fork." The soldier said firmly: "The thief must be going to Taigu County!" ”
Darhan was suddenly anxious, the 10,000-strong people's army was not enough to worry about, but they still had a few thousand Han people, these people will be the laborers of the steppe up and down the grassland, once the melee is left unattended, they will be busy in vain.
Kuruk rolled his eyes, and an idea immediately came to his mind, he grabbed Darhan, who was about to order the team to turn, and smiled suspiciously: "Don't be busy! Don't be busy leaving, these thieves are our meritorious heads and slaves in short supply on the grassland! ”
Darhan was inexplicable and glared: "What? These thieves are not comparable to the good citizens in the county, all of them have their heads pinned to their belts, and there are more than 10,000 people, and if they fight with them, the gains outweigh the losses, and they can't be worth it. ”
Kuruk sneered, "Outlaws? You look down on them, these people are just taking advantage of how bold they are, killing a few of them to take the lead, and the rest are not much stronger than those good people, how many times have you and I dealt with the thieves, isn't that the case? ”
Darhan pondered for a moment, touched his chin and said, "When you say that, it is true. ”
Kuruk struck with both palms and snorted, "That's it!" We are only ten miles away from Taigu, those anti-thieves are still fifty miles away, although these Han people drag the speed, but we are definitely more than the anti-thieves to Taigu, as long as we enter the city, close the city gate, these Han pigs can not run, we are good to wait, waiting for the anti-thieves to come to the door, take advantage of their carelessness, suddenly open the city to kill, hit him by surprise, anti-thieves rabble, where can we stop our tiger and wolf division, is it easy to add more than 10,000 military merits and slaves? ”
Darhan's eyes widened, and after thinking for a while, he realized what Kuruk meant, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Wonderful! Good strategy! I said earlier that your brain is much brighter than that guy in Alai, but Lord Nikan just didn't listen, and today he really has a good plan. ”
Kuruk was extremely proud, and said disapprerovingly: "Where is the lowly race from the small tribe of Alai worthy of the nobility of our tribe, don't mention him!" Let's go, let's speed up, and if we get the benefits, the prince of Nikan may be heavy on you and me! ”
Darhan waved his hand excitedly, "Smack!" A whip struck the horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped with pain, and he stood on his horse and shouted: "Listen, all the warriors, speed up, and in half an hour, I will roast meat and drink wine at the head of Taigu City!" ”
……
Time passed in a blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the low city of Taigu County, reflecting a long shadow, sprinkled on the not very spacious streets in the city.
Taigu County is not big, the size is only five miles, the county commander in the city has long been driven out by the rebellious people, no one in the city presides, some old squires want to climb the friendship with the fierce and vicious Mongols, and were unceremoniously thrown back, and then the Mongolian Han people are very easy-going all over the city, smashing the door, entering the house, robbing things and kidnapping people, making a fuss, and the miasma of black smoke.
The Mongols were very efficient, but in just a few hours, they searched the whole city, and when the rebel army of more than 10,000 people slowly drove out of the city, Kuruk and Darhan had already packed up and rested and waited.
A nimble figure scurried down from the humble arrow tower at the head of the city, bowed down, and slipped down the wall like a monkey, and came to a hiding hole under the city wall.
Kuruk and Darhan were sitting on two rocks, sipping tea from nowhere, holding their knives, and talking leisurely.
The figure knelt in front of the two of them and said in a low voice: "Two Lord Ezhen, the thief is coming!" ”
The two Mongol nobles stood up abruptly, and Kuruk snorted from his nostrils and asked in a low voice, "How?" How did the anti-thieves set up? ”
The figure replied, "There is no formation, there is chaos everywhere, and the tide is pouring in, and it is carrying a cart, as if it intends to load things with it." ”
Darhan smiled: "This gang of thieves seems to have thought of the same place with us, and they also want to loot property and capture strong men, but we don't know that we will come first!" ”
Kuruk snorted, his anger rose, and said, "Four city gates, which one will the thieves focus on?" ”
And the lookers who came down from the city replied, "There are four gates, and there are thousands of men at each gate." ”
Kuruk was stunned for a moment, and laughed angrily: "The thief is so ambitious, this is to let one go!" Black-hearted than our Mongols! ”
Darhan is not happy, does he say that about himself? However, he didn't bother to correct it, picked up the knife, and shouted: "Let's go, let the thieves see how the real Mongol warriors fight!" ”
As if to cooperate with his movements, in the night sky, which was extremely quiet and quiet, a burst of shouting and killing suddenly broke out, and the sound was very loud, and the lid of the quiet night was directly lifted.
It's just that this voice was not made by the soldiers of Inner Mongolia in the city, but from outside the city.
Kuruk and Darhan were stunned for a moment, and then became furious, this gang of thieves is really tired of being crooked!
Someone had already brought two horses, and they turned on their horses, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and shouted to the Mongolian iron horsemen who were waiting silently in the street: "Warriors, do you hear the shouts outside? That's a rebel thief provoking! Lift up your swords, take up your arrows, and cut off their heads with the power that the Immortal Heaven has given you! ”
The blade is sharp, reflecting the bright light in the moonlight, and countless knives and guns respond to the sky, with a loud "Kill!" The words soared into the sky, popping out of the throats of thousands of Mongolian soldiers, and were especially loud in the night sky.
"Open the gates!" Kuruk shouted loudly, leading the way.
The door, which was not heavy, was opened, and Kuruk rushed out of the gate with a long knife and a shout, and behind him, like a black current, countless Mongol cavalry followed his horse's hooves, accompanied by a monstrous shout of killing.
Outside the city, a large number of armor and armor were chaotic, and even the figures without armor swayed, and the chaotic formation seemed to Kuruk's eyes to be a military feat to be beheaded.
"Kill~~!" Kuruk's blood is surging, every time he fights, he likes to rush to the front line with his own hands, the thrill of the sword and axe splitting the enemy's head makes him extremely satisfied, as if the pleasure gushing out of his bones makes him want to stop, this is the honor of the warrior, representing the favor of the immortal heaven.
The formation of the Mongol cavalry was limited by the width of the city gate, and they could only rush out in three horses side by side, and the people behind could only wait patiently.
Kuruk rushed to the second row, and his cronies consciously caught up with him and protected him behind him.
Because of this, when Kuruk saw the group of panicked thieves in front of him retreating to both sides, revealing a dozen sparkling copper cannons, the shock and surprise were particularly obvious.
"Not good! There is an ambush! Kuruk's hoarse shout came out almost at the same time as the sound of the cannon, and unfortunately, no matter how strong his voice was, it was no bigger than the sound of more than a dozen divine cannons, and it was easily buried in the huge sound of iron ejections.
An iron bullet as big as a small watermelon continued to expand in Kuruk's pupils, like a slow motion through the body of a Mongolian cavalryman in front of him, smashing his upper body to pieces, spurting blood and splashing flesh accompanied by unabated iron bullets, all came to Kuluk's face, at that moment, Kuruk subconsciously wanted to cross the knife in front of his chest, and before he could swing his hand back, his vision changed to a different perspective, suddenly soared into the air, and spun into the sky.
Then he lost consciousness.
