Chapter 34: The Capture of Humbo City (6)
It all started the day before.
Xiao Quai's eyesight was good, and through the dense water, he saw a group of big cannibals holding a group of Sogdians, male and female, with three beautiful young women, a half-aged, and a little boy.
Feeling that something was wrong, Xiao Quai, immediately took people to hide in the grove next to him. After they had passed, Xiao Qubing instructed Prince Yama to take two men to the fortress outside the city built by Samad to find out what was going on. He followed the rest of the people and marked them along the way.
Li Ergou drove his horse to Xiao Quai, raised his eyebrows, and whispered: "Captain Xiao, why don't you do anything and follow them?" ”
Xiao Quzhi turned his head and glanced at him: "Didn't you find that the identities of the group of Hu people of the Nine Kingdoms who were detained were not ordinary?" All of them are graceful and noble, and they have cultivated a noble spirit since childhood. And those big food soldiers also have a lot of respect for them. So I'm sure the status of this gang of Jiuguo Hu is definitely not ordinary. ”
"All I found was that those two orchids were beautiful, that coquettish!" Li Ergou laughed as he spoke, his eyes narrowed: "So what do we do now?" ”
Xiao Quzhi thought for a while, "Follow first, and find an opportunity to kill this group of big food soldiers." ”
The opportunity soon came, and I found from a distance that the group in front of me stopped for some unknown reason. It was getting late, the gold was sinking, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Xiao Quzhi discussed it with Amir Jiang Gu Xiaojun, rode alone, and ran over quickly.
The group of Great Eclipse soldiers saw a "Great Cannibal" galloping towards them on a bloody horse with an extremely divine horse, and they all cast curious glances. Seeing him getting closer and closer, the three Great Cannibal soldiers rode up to meet him, and they heard the "Great Cannibal" on the other side greet them very friendly, probably asking if there was anything they needed to help? The tone is kind, but the accent is strange. They were stunned for a moment, then responded enthusiastically.
The next moment, the "Great Cannibal" had come up to them, and he was holding the spear in his saddle. The Great Eclipse Soldier had already sensed that something was wrong, and was about to call the other party to stop and ask who the other party was. However, at this moment, the "big cannibal" who spoke in a very kind tone instantly stabbed the spear in his hand. The three Great Food Eaters clutched their hands to their throats, unable to speak, their eyes bulging out like dead fish. After about two seconds, three of the Big Food Soldiers fell off their horses.
The other Great Food Soldiers were stunned as the three of them turned over and fell off their horses with their hands on their throats, and by the time they reacted, the man had already run out more than a hundred paces away.
Shout! Shout! Shout!
The "big cannibal" put the big gun away, drew his bow and arrows, turned around, and three arrows were in succession, and three more big food soldiers were hit by arrows, or in the center of the eyebrows, or in the throat, and they were killed with one arrow, and fell off their horses. All the Great Cannibal soldiers were instantly enraged, and they kicked the horse's belly and were about to rush up and hack the "Great Cannibal" to death. Fortunately, their commander was still somewhat sensible, and he shouted loudly, leaving ten men to guard the Sogdians, and the other forty in pursuit of them brandishing scimitars.
Seeing the pursuing Da Shi soldiers running away one by one, the officer who stayed behind suddenly had a bad feeling in his mind. He shook his head, trying to get rid of the thought. Are you kidding? Forty people can't deal with a coward who can only sneak attack?
At this moment, from the direction from which they came, twelve knights on Arab horses suddenly rushed out, but none of them were Arabs or Persians. The officer chuckled in his heart, knowing that he had been tricked, he shouted loudly, and led the remaining ten Great Eater cavalry to meet the enemy. However, before he could finish speaking, a carved arrow shot him in the neck as if it had eyes. Two more arrows followed, and two more soldiers were shot in the chest and fell off their horses. The remaining eight Great Food Soldiers were completely confused at this time, and they completely ignored it, and rushed towards the enemy like crazy with red eyes. However, before they could reach ninety paces, they were all shot.
Just kidding, Gu Xiaojun, Li Ergou, and the four elite soldiers of the tribe under Amir Jiang are all sharpshooters within 100 steps!
Li Ergou smiled and rushed to the person surnamed Zhaowu Jiu who was escorted, and he asked loudly in Sogdian, "Who are you?" Why did the big cannibals arrest you? ”
Those people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu were originally very scared, the little boy cried, and the three beautiful young women were very nervous when they saw Li Ergou staring at them. Finally, the half-old stood up, she made a salute, looked at Li Ergou for a long time, and said with some excitement: "You are Tang?" ”
"Exactly, I'm the captain of the Anzay Military Academy."
The middle-aged woman suddenly became excited, and she said loudly, "Thank you General for saving your life, we are all the family members of King Kangguo." I am his queen, these three are his concubines, this is the prince of Kang, this is the prince of Mi, the nephew of Duai. ”
"Why did the big cannibals arrest you?" Li Ergou's heart was full of regret, such a beautiful three orchids, but now they can only look at it, not eat it. It's all to blame for Captain Xiao's crow's mouth!
Queen Kang looked hesitant, and after a long silence, he said: "Don't dare to deceive the general, it was Qi Yade who arrested us, and the purpose was to force my husband, King Kang to work hard for them, and gather more Kang ** team to fight against the Tang army!" ”
Li Ergou told Gu Xiaojun and Amir Jiang next to him the information he got, and both of them showed knowing smiles, thinking, sure enough, good luck, this has made them meet. When he wanted to ask something, he saw Xiao Qubing galloping in the distance, and he was leading more than 30 horses in his hand.
King Kang looked at this Tang warrior in disbelief, and forty of the Great Food Elite Cavalry were killed by him one by one? Looking at the expressions of the other Tang Jun, it seemed that it was taken for granted, and it didn't seem strange at all. Oh my God, how powerful is Datang, their soldiers are so brave!
"What, they turned out to be the family members of King Kangguo! Then we have to take them to join the army immediately, and on the way you can ask him about the Kang ** team and the Great Food army. Now let's deal with the corpses and bloodstains. After listening to Li Ergou's report, Xiao went to illness and was happy and worried.
Xi is naturally able to rescue this group of hostages, counter against the king of Kangguo, and win over the Zhaowu Nine ** team is undoubtedly of great help; The worry, however, is that these hostages are so important that Posilin will surely find out soon. When the time comes, it will be easy for his group to run away, but if he takes such a group of women and children, he will not be sure.
After dealing with the traces of the scene, Prince Yama also returned with two Takukai from the castle outside Samat to inquire about the news.
"Xiao Hou, Samad built the outer castle, almost all the Kangguo soldiers, all the Takan Tujie were conscripted into the army. And half of the soldiers seem to be going to set off early tomorrow morning to assemble in the Zhongcao Kingdom of Butanna. ”
"Zhong Cao Guo robbed Butana? Is there a large canyon dozens of miles long in the back? ”
Prince Yama nodded: "Exactly there." According to the soldiers who were drafted in Kangguo, it was the task given by Posilin. ”
"Is it just that the Kang ** team is going to assemble there?" Xiao Quzhi asked.
Prince Yama hesitated: "It seems that half of the army is going to gather there." ”
Xiao Qu was frightened, he clenched his fists and waved it vigorously: "The situation is not good, we must rush overnight." ”
