Chapter 874: Chestt Caravan

The sound of "Boom" spread in the wind, and the mournful howl echoed in the empty snowfield.

Streams of wolf smoke rose up to the sky.

Luoma City seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and suddenly panicked, people shouted and neighed, ran and shouted, and there was chaos.

The gate of the barracks outside the city was wide open, and more than 200 patrol officers rushed out of the barracks, galloping, rushing to the snowfield along the north bank of the Lok Ma River, and swept away in the direction of the alarm signal.

In the barracks, the sleepy-eyed soldiers rushed out of the tent, climbed on the war horses, and hurriedly lined up, although they were a little panicked at first, but the battle was commonplace for them, and they had long been accustomed to it, and the bloody battles had tempered their will very strong, and the passionate horn and horn quickly boiled their blood, so that they calmed down, full of fighting spirit, and under the guidance of the flying battle flags, they rushed to the battlefield with murderous spirit.

On the horizon in the distance, a group of centaurs rushed out and galloped towards Fallen Horse City.

The patrol army marched in formation, beating horses and galloping to meet them.

Inside and outside the city, everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the team that was rushing wildly, panicked and uneasy.

The two armies are getting closer and closer, and the hearts of followers are beating faster and faster. Suddenly, the patrol army changed formation, like two flying dragons, whistling through the two wings of the rushing procession, and at the same time, the patrol trumpeter blew the horn and reported the rear.

All the followers breathed a sigh of relief, it was not an enemy, but the horn of the alarm did not stop, and the oncoming team was still desperately blowing the trumpet, and the trumpet was full of fear and despair.

The two armies staggered. The patrol army suddenly accelerated, and the battle formation changed to geese again, rushing into the distance like a lightning speed.

The speeding team was getting closer and closer to the city, but the degree did not decrease, the trumpet did not stop, and the tension created was like a nuclear and violently impacted the city of Luoma, and everyone was in danger.

Soon, the true face of this team is exposed to the eyes of the people. This is a caravan of the Rite people, the Rite merchant Jia Xi wears white clothes, and the caravan flag also has special markings, and has been walking in the desert for many years, and the various species outside the Seychelles are very familiar with them, and they can be seen at a glance. This caravan consisted of four or five hundred people, hundreds of carts full of supplies, thousands of camels and horses carrying goods, hundreds of guards and nearly a thousand war horses, which was considered a medium-sized caravan. In addition, there are dozens of cavalry control strings, which are estimated to be apricot scouts patrolling in the field and inquiring about news, meeting the caravan on the way and running back together.

Naiman Qingchuan saw the caravan, like a long drought and a rainy day, overjoyed, couldn't help but say, took the guards to ride, patted the horse to meet it.

What he needs most now is materials, without materials can not recover strength, there is a danger of survival, so he tried all means to ask for help from the brother tribe, to the friendship of the merchant on credit, but the brother tribe also experienced a months of hard fighting, although the loss is not as huge as the ministry, but the same broken bones, limited support, so in the short term can only hope for the merchant on credit.

However, now the situation in the Northeast has undergone drastic changes, and the game between the North and the South on the Northeast battlefield has suddenly escalated, and in the future, the Middle Earth and the Turks may have to fight on both sides of the Anzhou and even the weak Luoshui River, and the fate of a tribe like Yebu is worrying, and it will be wiped out if they are not careful. The small caravan carried very limited supplies, which was only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge needs of the Ministry.

For this reason, Naiman Qingchuan was worried, sleepless nights, in a deep predicament, today suddenly saw a medium-sized caravan coming, of course happy, even if the enemy is coming, but there are these materials "falling from the sky", so it can also solve the temporary predicament.

When the two sides met, the scouts were waiting for an urgent report, and a large number of horse thieves were roaring and killing in the rear.

"How many horse thieves are there?" Naiman Qingchuan asked eagerly, "Have you ever looked carefully?" Are you sure it's a horse thief? ”

One of the scout scorpions hesitated for a moment, but nodded firmly, "Mover, we can see very clearly, it is indeed a horse thief, about a thousand horses. ”

More than a thousand rides? Naiman Qingchuan was suddenly shocked, and suddenly felt ominous, "Is it indeed a horse thief?" Don't have any flags? ”

The scout scorpion hesitated again. He also knew that the situation was not right, since the withdrawal of the Xi army, because of the heavy losses, worried about being attacked by other tribes, increased the exploration of the surrounding areas, there are no horse thieves on both sides of the Luoma River, although there were horse thieves in the past, it was only a small number of dozens of horses, and there was no horse thief team of more than 1,000 horses. More than 1,000 horsemen are basically the number of strings controlled by a small tribe, and if such a huge team of horse thieves appeared on both sides of the Tuo Su Chen River, it would have shocked the Donghu tribes a long time ago. So it is certain that there is something wrong with this sudden army of horse thieves, and the target is the Ye Department that has been severely damaged by the Xi clan.

"Mover, it seems that he is indeed a horse thief, and he doesn't have any banners, but there are too many people and there are many suspicions." The scout scorpion saw Naiman Qingchuan's ugly face, and was secretly horrified, and hurriedly pointed to several Lite merchants standing not far away, "Mofu, they have also seen it with their own eyes, and they can confirm it." ”

Several Lite merchants seemed to know Naiman Qingchuan, and they stepped forward to salute one after another.

Naiman Qingchuan only knows one of the merchants surnamed An, and this merchant has a strong background, it is said that he is a close confidant of Shibi Khan, a member of the collateral clan of Li'an Wuzhao, attached to the account of the desert giant Antel, mainly trading between the southeast and northeast of the moraine, and is more familiar with the chieftains of the Donghu tribes, but since Buli set up a town in the northeast and monopolized the trade with the Donghu tribes, this merchant surnamed An has not come.

The old people met and were pleasantly surprised, although Naiman Qingchuan didn't know if this businessman surnamed An suddenly appeared and gave him charcoal in the snow, but he had already made up his mind that even if he used force, even if the two sides turned their faces into enemies, he would leave this batch of materials behind.

After a brief greeting, without waiting for Naiman Qingchuan to ask, the merchant surnamed An impatiently told Naiman Qingchuan that the caravan came from the north bank of the weak Luoshui, and suddenly encountered a team of horse thieves in the early hours of yesterday morning.

"Can you determine their true identity?" Naiman Qingchuan asked bluntly, "The caravan has direct contact with them, so it should be guessed, right?" ”

Shang Jia surnamed An smiled bitterly, "Mo Fu, the person who came is not good, it is better to have a heart." ”

Even if he knew, he wouldn't say that he was just a businessman and wouldn't get involved in the battle between clans and tribes. In fact, the true identity of this horse thief army is easy to guess, it must be which tribe controls the strings, and the closest to the Ye Department is only the Xi Clan's Humiliation King Department and the Murode Department, as well as the Khitan Ambush Department and the Yin Department, and these four tribes have the will and motivation to attack or even annex the Ye Department, so it is meaningless to explore the true identity of this horse thief army, and the top priority of the Ye Department is to take immediate action to ensure their own safety.

At this time, the 2,000 strings in the barracks had been assembled and were rushing out of the camp with a "boom", while the governor Naiman Dupan and several officers rushed to Naiman's side and asked him to give the order to attack.

Naiman Qingchuan hesitated. Now there are only 500 guards in the city, and there are 2,000 control strings outside the city, and although there are still more than 1,000 cavalry on the side of the flower road tent and fighting fiercely with the Murodebu, it is impossible to withdraw in a hurry, so the safety of the tens of thousands of clans and the city of Luoma depends on these two thousand five hundred control strings. Of course, all the tribes are soldiers, and the old and weak, women and children can fight to the death when they are forced to do so, but that is the moment of survival, and it has not yet reached that critical juncture.

Seeing that Naiman Qingchuan had not given an order for a long time, the officers were anxious, and Naiman Governor immediately said, "Mofu, although passive defense can ensure the safety of Luoma City, how can the safety of the thousands of tents scattered on both sides of the Tosuchen River be guaranteed?" Once the connection between Lok Ma City and the Ikebana tent is interrupted, there is no food and grass in the Ikebana tent, and there are no rescuers outside, how to hold on? ”

A word wakes up the dreamer. If this team of horse thieves is controlled by the Xi people, its purpose must be to attack the east and west, and recapture the flower arrangement, on the contrary, if these horse thieves are the control strings of the Khitan brothers, their purpose must be to take advantage of the fire to rob, in the name of the horse thieves on both sides of the water in the Tosu Chen, to burn and plunder, to hit and weaken the department, and to prepare for the next annexation, so there is no ulcer in the department, according to the city to hold, passive defense is bound to be in the plan, only the initiative to attack, to attack instead of defensive, directly kill this horse team to the bottom of the water, wolf rush and flee, in order to quickly destroy the opponent's conspiracy.

"Attack!" Naiman Qingchuan decisively ordered, "Give the invading enemy a head-on blow." ”

Naiman Dupan and other officers took the order and flew away.

Then Naiman Qingchuan invited the caravan to enter the city for temporary refuge. The merchant surnamed An looked embarrassed and hesitated, while the few Litte businessmen who traveled with him directly and politely refused. The brigade of horse thieves is roaring to kill, and the city of Luoma is fighting again, but the department has been unable to fight again, before the heavy losses in the battle with the Xi people, and now it is fighting fiercely with the Murodebu in the flower account account, fighting for several months, the army is exhausted, morale is low, and more seriously, the department has been "bankrupt", it is difficult to support, in this unfavorable situation, the caravan enters the city of Luoma, the result must be that the meat buns and dogs have gone and there is no return, not only the property may be forcibly expropriated by the department, and even their own safety is not guaranteed.

Naiman Qingchuan's face was suddenly ugly, cold as frost, and he had the potential to turn his face.

"Mover, our caravan was invited by the Great Lady to rush to Seoul, the minister of ambush." Shang Jia, surnamed An, gave a deep salute and respectfully explained, "The situation is tense today, in order to ensure safety, the caravan crossed the water of Tuo Suchen when the fire, and rushed to Changhan day and night, please forgive Mofu." ”

This is to take the Khitan Eight Alliance's leader Dahe Luluo to "suppress" Naiman Qingchuan to mention that Dahe Luluo is better, this mention, Naiman Qingchuan was furious, and immediately turned his face, "Since I am invited by the mantis, of course I want to ensure your safety, if I let you go, let the horse thief catch up and kill you, how can I explain to the mantis?" If the mantis misunderstands and the thunder is furious, will I not suffer unjustified calamity? ”

Naiman Qingchuan waved vigorously at the guards behind him, "Protect the caravan and enter the city immediately!" ”
