Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Tiger's Mouth (7)

However, half a day finally passed, the Khitan soldiers stopped attacking, Pala lost more than half of his troops, and there were only four or five thousand elites left. Although the old and weak filled it, the panic in their eyes made Pla feel cold.

What's even more terrifying is that there are many small gaps in the wooden wall of the camp, the gate has also been cracked, and there is Brie from the south watching on the side, and the camp will be broken in the afternoon. Pyra prayed in his heart for the sun god's blessing and hoped that reinforcements would arrive before the camp broke.

Just after noon, Yelu Wolf led the whole army out of the camp and launched a general attack, and Brie's department was also forcibly ordered to assist in the battle, and under the simultaneous attack of the north and south, half an hour later, the camp was already in danger. Berasso ordered the soldiers to retreat, abandoning a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock and supplies, and completely shrank behind the temporary half-man high slab wall inside the camp.

The Khitan soldiers cheered and broke through the walls and gates, pouring in from all directions, searching for the Muwei soldiers, looting cattle and sheep and other trophies, and even coaxing each other.

At this time, Pala was not idle, he sent a small force to go out and attack the Khitan soldiers non-stop, and anyone who approached the board wall was shot and killed. This only slowed down the pace of the Khitan soldiers, and Yelu Wolf quickly rushed to inspect with his officers, and saw that although the board wall was not high, it was very firm, and there were a large number of long wooden boxes piled inside, which was not very conducive to attacking.

"Sumire! Do you think you're going to attack again? General Mu Lun stepped forward and asked.

"There have been nearly 4,000 casualties in this battle, and it is really unreasonable, and we can't fight hard...... Besides, I need slaves, and it would be best if I could catch them alive! Jeruwolf replied, and then called a personal guard: "Someone! Come forward with me and shout to persuade me to surrender! ”

Jerewolf gave him another command, and the soldier rushed forward when he heard the order, and immediately shouted twenty paces away from the wall.

"Patriarch Palazzo Euphra! In such a situation, why should you be obsessed? I will give you one last chance to surrender, and you and your people will be saved from slaughter, and your possessions will be yours. However, your troops must move away from the Everest steppe and go to Huangshui for nomadism, and from then on be loyal to our Khitan Khan and never turn away. Give you half an hour to think about it, and don't wait for it to be outdated! ”

The Khitan soldier shouted three times and left on his own, but this made Pala feel distraught. At first glance, the conditions were good, and the clansmen and property could be preserved, but once they moved to Huangshui, they became a subordinate tribe of the Khitans, just like the Xia people, and since then they have become turtles in urns and birds in cages, and they can no longer be free, and over time they will become Khitans. Then, the black car room Wei can be regarded as dead.

Even if there is no deep hatred with the Khitans, Bola's heart will never be able to accept such conditions, and what makes him in a trance is that the Xi people have not been able to send reinforcements for a long time, which is very interesting. Pala greeted Grace, and the two hurried back to the humble tent they had set up one after the other.

"Patriarch! Jerod has always been cruel and killing, he is deceiving us, don't listen to his nonsense! Bao entered the door and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Now the situation is pressing! But blindly counting on Xi Ren's reinforcements is not a perfect solution, do you really think Xi Ren is completely reliable? What if they had a repetition after the war? Blah voiced her concerns.

"This ...... Unlikely, right? But who else can we count on? Grace said worriedly.

"What do you think of Daibei Tugu Hun Helian Duo and Bai Yicheng? It's really not good, and the Tatars can also consider it, but it's too far away...... Let's see the situation first! Go and send an order for the leaders of the clan to discuss the matter, and listen to what everyone has to say! Bramo said ambiguously.

After leaving Dayanze and traveling more than 50 miles north, Zibal Camp went out of the grassland and entered the vast Gobi Desert, where there was not a drop of water stains in the thirsty gravel field, and occasionally there were clumps of dark green sea buckthorn and wild grasses dancing in the wind, adding a touch of vitality to the lifeless Gobi Desert.

The sand and gravel trampled by the horses' hooves splashed and roared, the sand and dust flew to cover the sky and the sun, the banners were fluttering, and the 20,000 cavalry formed a long queue.

In front of the queue, a fiery red Daxu unfolded in the wind, and on the banner were three golden deer. This is unique to King Xi's Ahui Division, while the other four are a golden deer. If the patriarch of one of the clans is chosen as the commander of the five leading troops, he can have two golden deer.

Zhuang Yi is an exception, of course, he also represents King Xi's Ahui Department, not to mention that there are peers in the operation, and this Sanlu Daxu has never been awarded to him, he is real but nameless. But he doesn't care about fame, the benefits are real.

"Herald...... When resting on the spot for a moment, let the soldiers change to horses, and invite the generals of the various departments to come to the meeting. Zhuang Yi was wearing heavy bright light armor and a gold-plated tiger-striped iron helmet, looking up at the gray sky, and suddenly ordered.

The heralds with the red tooth banner immediately split up and gave the order to the officers of the department. The long convoy of horses began to slow down and stop, the soldiers were busy, and the officers of the various divisions also arrived.

When Zhuang Yi saw that a group of officers had arrived, he spoke: "Everyone! I suddenly had a very bad feeling that the time had dragged on for too long, and Bola might not be able to withstand the attack of the Khitans, so I decided to lead 5,000 elite horsemen first. Operational! You must come as soon as possible with the main force, and do not delay, otherwise, we will be in vain, and the cooked duck will fly away! ”

"Isn't that going to be? Brown was a man of tenacity, with 20,000 troops, tens of thousands of people, and a camp garrison, and would not have been defeated so quickly. Shuri asked suspiciously.

"I hope so, too, but if we haven't arrived for a long time, will he doubt that if he can't hold on and surrender to the Khitans?"

"Then the Patriarch of Xie Ra is in danger, and we are in danger too......" Shuri was dumbfounded, and finally came to his senses.

"Broken...... I didn't think of that. Then hurry up and send Yuanda back to report the news, and stabilize Bella first......" Zhang Yitai heard it on the side, and couldn't help but pat his forehead fiercely, and said with annoyance.

Zhuang Yi didn't say anything more, sent someone to find Yuanda, and ordered him to set off immediately to report to Bella. Later, with 150 elite cavalry such as Shagu and Bian Wu as escorts, he ordered Sunu, Shi Dazhong, Kang Zhenghe to dispatch 5,000 elite cavalry, one soldier with two horses, and prepared enough consumable weapons such as arrows and dry food and water, and left the team. Shuli and Zhang Yitai led the main force of 15,000 horsemen without delay, and then followed.

Zhuang Yi led 5,000 horsemen to change horses all the way without changing people, galloping at high speed, and at the same time scattering reconnaissance horses, wandering around the marching army column for ten miles, so as to ensure that they could react quickly when encountering the enemy on the way.
