Chapter 365: Miracles
In the end, Jieli did not wait for the thunder, not even any of the Turks, he shivered in the icy cold wind, and finally understood that this sudden sneak attack had really led him to destruction.
Fortunately, there were more than 500 horsemen around, at least these people would not be trampled into meat powder in the sea of fleeing people, until Li Jing and the army hurried to Yinshan, Jie Li fled in a panic and left only a long series of horseshoe prints slowly silent.
For ten days, Zhang Yi stayed in Shuofang City quietly waiting for the good news of Li Jing's return.
If nothing else, it is very likely that this time the baggage of Yinshan will become a figure like the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and it is this glorious war that has turned this pure soldier who does not understand accidents into a nasty ghost that everyone does not want to be with.
The heavy snow finally eased a little, and the sun had already revealed half of its face under the icy cold wind, but the sun didn't seem to bring much warmth to people, on the contrary, the melting snow made people feel even more chilled all over.
Zhang Yi shrunk himself into a ball at this time, and his entire body was embedded in the futon, looking at the outside world with the corner of his eye like a cold bird.
"Uncle, something seems to be wrong lately!"
In front of Zhang Yi, Zhang Cheng thought about it for a long time, and finally stubbornly opened his mouth to hold back a sentence.
Also as an old man in Zhangjiazhuang, although Zhang Cheng is not like Lao Wang Wu is a good player in the battle, but as a hunter, he is particularly familiar with some clues that ordinary people can't see.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yi smiled, stretched out a hand to add some dry firewood to the fire, and waited for the fire to be obviously stronger before he said, "Could it be that there are still a small group of Turkic people outside?" ”
Recently, after Wang Lao Wu led people to search around, the small Turkic tribes robbed cattle and sheep undoubtedly had already committed public anger, although most of the Turks of these tribes were killed by them on the spot, but there were still many people who escaped.
After all, in the vast grassland under the snow, if you want to escape, as long as you use snacks, there will always be a chance.
It is precisely because of this that as the Tang Dynasty army attacked more and more small tribes, the number of Turks who knew the situation and fled naturally increased, so in just half a month, the matter of the defenders of Shuofang City killing people and snatching cattle and sheep was no longer a secret within a radius of 100 miles.
However, due to the ferocity of the gunpowder bullet and the suddenness of the surprise attack of the hidden traces of the Tang army, the small tribes left behind all had a feeling of dying and cold, and the tribes that had a little ability for a while were constantly moving to the northeast.
Of course, the cold wind and the dancing snow blocked the vast majority of the Turks, in order to survive, these small tribes finally learned to unite, especially the last time Wang Lao Wu attacked a small tribe, he found that the tribe was actually the result of the union of three small tribes, and the guard and defense have obviously been strengthened a lot, if it is not for the night raid, I am afraid that they will lose or win with their five hundred men and horses.
It is precisely because of the lessons learned from the past that in Zhang Yi's opinion, it is more likely that these Turks will directly join forces to unite all the nearby tribes to attack Shuofang City. ,
After all, there are not many defenders in Shuofang City, and those barbarians should still have the courage to fight for their lives.
"Not those Turks!" Zhang Cheng frowned and said: "Actually, I can't say, it's just that there is suddenly an extra ghost head on our city wall, which looks extremely vicious."
The city gate has been wiped three times, but each time the brother who wiped off the ghost's head died tragically at night for no reason! And after their tragic deaths, there was a ghost head of the same shape on their chests without exception! ”
"And this?" Zhang Yi also became extremely dignified.
This incident is so strange that he really has to pay attention to it.
How could a big living person die for no reason? And there is actually a ghost head on the same body? If there is no name among them, he will not believe it.
As an atheist, Zhang Yi has been very confused since he traveled to Datang.
If there is a god, then science seems to explain everything, although not all of them can be explained, but most of the things must have a basis.
But if there are no ghosts and gods, then how did his soul cross thousands of years to come to the Tang Dynasty?
However, no matter whether there is a god in this world or not, Zhang Yi can be sure that this time it will definitely not be a god, obviously someone is pretending to be a god! And in Zhang Yi's memory, many so-called gods in ancient times, and even miracles, are nothing more than some man-made creations, just like the appearance of the ghost head, which is definitely drawn by people, otherwise, if it is a miracle, how can a mortal wipe it off?
"Yes, you didn't see it, the little six sons of the city gate guard were full of blood on his eyes, nose, and ears, not to mention how miserable!" Saying that, Zhang Cheng pointed at himself again and said, "Uncle, you see that I am also a person who has been on the battlefield twice, and there are three or five lives in my hand, right?" But even the Turks who were slashed on the battlefield could not be compared to the way they died and the tragedy was ..... I think this time it may be the steppe god invited by the Turks, who wants to fight our gunpowder bullets! ”
Whether there is a god on the grassland, or how powerful the gods on the grassland are, Zhang Yi doesn't care, even if he dares to come to Shuofang City blatantly, Zhang Yi doesn't mind using gunpowder bullets to make him a real ghost god.
It's just that obviously people only plan to do it secretly, and they completely take advantage of people's mental affairs of ignorance and fear, just three people have just died, even a personal guard like Zhang Cheng knows and fears, such a means is undoubtedly very clever.
And most importantly, this so-called God.... It seems to be coming towards itself.
Zhang Yi felt this way, and vaguely felt that the real truth should be the other party's helplessness because he couldn't blend into the military camp, otherwise the other party would not have forced him to show up in such a strange atmosphere.
And with the implementation of Zhang Yi's joint protection system, all the sergeants must go out and sleep and eat together, although the ghost head will still appear from time to time, but it does not continue to die, on the contrary, on a beautiful evening, the cold Shuofang City finally ushered in its long-lost guests.
This man is a fat man.
Maybe it was because the income last time was very large, and the speed of the fat man this time was undoubtedly much faster, and he actually ran back from Guanzhong in less than a month, such a speed undoubtedly made Zhang Yi absolutely admire this fat man.
