Chapter 421: The Shi Family's Revenge
However, this situation did not last long, and when the cavalry team with the banner of the Tang Dynasty appeared on the horizon, these people completely collapsed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoExcept for the two dead soldiers who had broken their brains, the rest of the dead soldiers who could surrender all jumped off their horses decisively and threw away their weapons, and those who couldn't surrender were then drowned by the sea of people, and the only ones who could still insist on resisting were the two dead soldiers who knew they were going to die.
By the time the Tang Dynasty army discovered the situation came over, the dust had settled on the battlefield, and only Li Mu and his Turkic warriors were sitting on their horses. Those who came over early, including the horse thieves who were on the verge of rebellion, consciously put away their weapons and scattered around. Among them were the members of the tribe who were lucky enough to survive, and the dead in a land.
And Li Mu told the general who led the troops in the Tang Dynasty, who was also from a martial arts family and almost wanted to call Li Mu brothers, "There was a group of powerful horse thieves who attacked the Shijia ranch for no reason, and with the help of these Turkic enthusiastic herdsmen who were interested in the Tang Dynasty, they successfully repelled these horse thieves who did all kinds of evil and left them here."
If the Tang sergeants didn't mind, the Shi family wanted to give the belongings of these dead guys as a thank you gift to these Turkic people who were eager to help.
As for the surviving horse thieves, they will be given to the Tang sergeants, and you will be left to dispose of them. ”
Although the generals of the Tang Dynasty understood that it would definitely not be so simple, they would defeat their own brothers anyway, so they didn't ask any more. The real forces behind him, he doesn't want to get involved, so it's better to pretend to be stupid.
Anyway, he picked up the credit for this bandit in vain, and there are so many more prisoners who can be handed over, exchanged for military merits, or sold as slaves, which are all good choices, and they are all additional benefits for him, so why not do it.
As a result, the three waves of attacks carefully prepared by the Dou family and the eldest grandson Wuji all ended in failure, or fiasco. But if they think that this is the end of the matter, it is obviously too naïve.
The Shi family is not a soft persimmon that can be handled at will, since the opponents have made such a move, don't blame the Shi family for coming up with some drastic means to make the opponent feel their anger. Since the opponents have all played such off-the-board moves first, the Shi family will definitely not give up like this.
As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to kill you, and now it can be said that the two opponents are the weakest period, because of the three-line battle, although they are overwhelming people with power, but the manpower and material resources invested are relatively much larger.
Although on the surface, it has no impact on the industries of the two of them, but their stalls are too large, and under the dispersion of this force, there is this wave of losses, which is already much weaker than the escort force in its heyday.
The Shi family also needs to abide by the basic rules, and they can't directly destroy their own family members humanely, but this doesn't delay them from attacking the other party's subordinates, since the other party opened this way first, then everyone doesn't have that position to prevent the Shi family from using such means to retaliate back.
In this matter, the Shi family can be said to have stood on the moral high ground. And those guys who have always been good at stepping on lows and highs, naturally know what kind of position they should take at this time, and those who still stand firmly by the side of those two families have become very few, at least no one will use their own strength to resist those possible attacks for them.
Then they saw how terrible the anger of the Shi family was, and the strength of the Shi family was far stronger than what they knew.
Since they chose to return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, the strength of the Shi family was also aimed at the hands of the two industries under them, and they were also dead, but the results that could be achieved were very different.
First of all, the two industries on the grassland were raided by the most powerful horse thieves, and the ranch, which was not very large, was completely finished.
And when the ranch was attacked, the surrounding Datang garrisons "coincidentally" ran out to suppress bandits, and I heard that there were several small tribes that had been horse thieves, all of which were brought back by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that they brought too many prisoners, so the speed of the journey naturally couldn't be fast. When they rushed back, the two directly subordinate forces that remained there were unfortunately all killed by locust crossing horse thieves.
Fortunately, these horse thieves are still very moral, and they all maintain respect for the old, weak, women and children who are not many in the pasture, and they have not moved a finger, and they have left them enough living materials. As for the cattle, sheep and horses, and all the money, of course there was nothing left for them.
Moreover, those tribes that originally had a good cooperative relationship with those two families also chose other nobles as a way to ship, and I heard that the tribes that wanted to trade with these two families were more likely to be harassed by the powerful horse thieves, and they couldn't bear this loss.
It is clear that they want to strangle the trade of these two families, and these tribes, whose strength is not even as good as that of the horse thieves, can't put their own people's belongings, or even all their net worth, on the line for a thigh that is not very accessible.
The favors given by these two families don't seem to be enough for them to take such a big risk. Besides, there are many people they can choose from, and there is no need to hold on to the thighs of these two families, it is logical to switch to other families.
For example, the caravans of the powerful martial arts family are obviously a better choice, which naturally includes the Shi family, which is doing business on the grassland.
The two caravans that walked all the way on the plateau also encountered a similar situation, all the caravan members who dared to resist were all killed without hesitation, and the goods were all snatched without exception. That's not all, they have also seen the power of ticket kidnapping.
The surviving caravan members, with the exception of a few small miscellaneous soldiers who were thrown out to report the news, were all taken captive by this gang of fierce horse thieves.
At the same time, what was brought back was also a hand of the chief shopkeeper of their caravan, which was a signal and a warning. If you don't send the ransom on time, you will receive greetings from the plateau, and those body parts that have been pieced off little by little. It's just that the ransom demanded by the other party is really not low, and the value of the big shopkeeper has reached ten catties of gold.
When receiving this shameless request, the principals of the two families couldn't bear to smash the family in front of everyone, and they looked angry and ruined, which really frightened the few little miscellaneous fish who escaped by luck. They had just heard that a few poor stewards had been beaten to death, and they didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
Angry, they still have to face this situation, if they don't pay the ransom, they will have to watch the caravan members become a pile of fragments, and their subordinates will not be cold in the future, how can they expect someone to give the master's family a dead force. But if you really pay according to the other party's requirements, this expenditure is enough to make the two families feel painful, and in the future, people will stare at their own people to kidnap tickets, how will they live this day.
It's on the plateau, what's the use of having a lot of influence on the Tang side, and the Tubo people don't like him, and they can't wait to see their jokes. There were a few big chiefs on the other side of Zampu who asked for them, but these people's hands couldn't reach for this, so they seemed to have to admit it.
Do you want them to go to the people of the Shi family, not to say that they are wrong in the first place, people can easily push it away, it was the horse thief who did it, and it is not us, and going to the Shi family is no different from apologizing in person, and they can't afford to lose that person.
And don't think that this is all the methods of the Shi family, these are just appetizers, just this can't calm the anger of the Shi family at all, so some unconventional methods have also been baked, and as soon as they make a move, they stabbed them deeply in the heart.
The previous means are still expected by the two of them, and the power of their bets in those places is not huge, and it is understandable that they were won by the other party.
But the center of gravity of the industry they have been operating is still in the territory of Datang, and they were unknowingly touched the door and wreaked havoc, which caught them off guard, and even had the idea of regretting provoking the Shi family. (To be continued.) )
