Chapter 0865. The hunter waits
The intersection of the Amu Darya River and the Hill River forms the fertile farmland and pastures in the middle of the river, providing life for countless tribes, but it is also these riches that make this land, war and fighting also become the theme song, and countless tribes have fought bloodily for this place.
Every inch of the fertile land is buried with the blood and bones of various nomads.
Now, after finally calming down the river, an even greater bloody war seems to be slowly brewing.
In the middle of the river, in Shiguo, in front of the intermittent remnants of the Altun Mountains, there is an incomparably vast meadow where hundreds of thousands of nomads gather, and the traces of the village farmland left by the Sogdians are completely buried under a pair of cowhide boots, and the felt bags are densely covered, like large mushrooms that grow after rain.
Cattle and sheep greedily gnaw on the tender grass that grows in spring, scattering joy on the grass, and the nomadic people are also singing pastoral songs and grazing their livestock, a piece of grassland nomadic joy, as if all the peace and beauty in the world are revealed in these tribes.
However, if you look closely, there is a strong conspiracy and sanitization hidden in it, and among the more than 200,000 nomadic tribes, the more young and strong, the more strong and brave they are gathered in the center, even if they are grazing and working, everyone has a sword and bow pinned to their waists, and they immediately hang guns.
In the center of the tribe's gathering, a high earthen platform was erected, which was the sacrificial platform of the Khan, which seemed to indicate the supreme power temptation of the clan, but around this right temptation, there was infinite killing opportunity, and the 200,000 nomadic tribes who came to watch the ceremony were themselves a huge trap.
Behind the nomadic tribes, on the slopes of a fairly high mountain in the remnants of the endless Hengduan Mountains of Central Asia, thousands of Persian iron horsemen equipped with sturdy chain armor made by skilled craftsmen are guarded by layers, and dozens of boiling flame flags in the center are displayed in rows.
In the center of the array, a pair of deep eye sockets were set on a telescope, and Belus looked down in distraction.
He is also considered to be a hero, the country is ruined but the country has been crisscrossing the country for many years, the south of the Hindu Kush Mountains was wiped out, and he returned to the steppe alone, and in a year he pulled the Tang Dynasty and the tiger skin of the Tuqi Shi, and pulled the tribes that suffered heavy losses and were afraid of the retaliation of the Fujian army to his side, and also suppressed the Sogdian countries in the river.
seems to have been stimulated by Li Jie, and for his own domination, Belus is also much more ruthless and decisive, for example, this time, when he encountered the challenge of the Khan position of the Tutantoise people, Belus did not have the intention of negotiating conditions with him at all, and directly planned to organize a large army to exterminate it, and use this to deter all countries and departments in the river.
For this reason, Belus also borrowed troops from the Anxi Protectorate and the Turgish Khanate, so he had no intention of attending the ceremony of sealing the Khan, and directly stood on the nearby commanding heights and commanded the extermination.
"Qi Qi Sha Khan Sha!"
Just when Belus was distracted, several Persian iron horsemen rode fast horses and galloped to the king of Belus, turned over and knelt down under the shoulders of the thirty-two people where Belus was, kowtowed, and said: "A total of 80,000 troops of Cao, Mi, and Kang have also arrived at the scene of the alliance!"
Finally moved the telescope back from the distance, and looked at the phalanx a few miles away under his feet, but the formation of the phalanx still looked chaotic Sogdian ** troops, infantry and cavalry mixed together and trampled on a large cloud of smoke and dust, Belus snorted with disdain.
"These Sogdians still want to die? Pull the ** team over and demonstrate to Shahansha! In the words of the Tang people, the mantis arm is just a car! ”
Waved his sleeves to the side with disdain, and Belus ordered loudly: "Let the army of the Cao people be deployed in the southeast corner, and when they will do something against the rebellious Alans, let them be responsible for interception!" Shahan Sha relieved the siege of Heng Rus in his Cao State, and these profiteers and Sogdians, who had the stench of copper in their bones, would shed some blood for Sha after all! ”
"Yes!"
After kowtowing heavily, more than a dozen Persian iron horsemen turned over and rode down the mountain fiercely.
Seeing this group of cavalry descending the mountain, a hint of gloom suddenly flashed on Belus's ambitious face, and she casually threw out a roll of sheepskin from her sleeve, looking at the neat Semitic language on it, and a little familiar uneasiness always lingered in her heart.
It was a letter from the Tutantoise people who asked him to be crowned Khan.
After looking at it for a moment, Belus suddenly threw the sheepskin under his feet arrogantly, and continued to hold up his binoculars and look at the valley mouth down the mountain.
Whatever the Alans had, he was twice as powerful as the Alans, and the Tang people Anxi were all in the palace, and the reinforcements of the Turkic Khanate were already on the way, as long as these armies arrived, even erasing the Tutantoise people from this world would be a trivial matter.
Belus's face was full of gloom and cruelty, and he continued to watch vigilantly with his telescope at the entrance of the huge trap he had arranged, waiting for the prey to come.
Belus, who was in his hands, didn't notice that under his feet, in the wind and smoke trampled by Cao Guo, Kang Guo, and Mi ** team, another shadow ghost was quietly lurking at his feet.
The 12,000 elite cavalry of the Fujian Kingdom wore gray-white cloaks, and even the war horses were covered under cloth, and their colorful camouflage was almost the same as the rubble and stone piles of the Hengduan Mountains.
Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, even Anna and Li Rang wore the same camouflage cloak and cautiously followed forward, all the flags were covered under the blankets, and the whole army did not dare to breathe.
Tiptoeing to the foot of the mountain, Xue Li, Anna, and Li Rang also opened the binoculars and looked upward, seeing the elite Persian iron horsemen shining in the sun on the hillside, Anna's bright eyes couldn't help but flash a little excitement.
"Sure enough, there are only a few thousand guards around Belus, and the people of Cao Guo didn't lie to us!"
Putting down the binoculars, Anna turned to Xue Li anxiously and asked: "Now is a good opportunity, the people of Cao Guo have promised to send troops to respond, our army will definitely be able to kill the Belus guards by surprise, as long as Berus is killed, more than 100,000 nomadic cavalry under the mountain will definitely become a plate of loose sand!"
"What are you doing?"
Listening to Anna's excited inquiry, Xue Li, who had never put down the binoculars, shook his head.
"Cao Guoren is not reliable!"
"The Belus army occupies a favorable position, although it is small but elite, as long as it can drag on for half an hour, once the nomadic army breaks through the Cao people, our army will fall into an unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy."
"Your Highness, please be patient! Once the Alans enter the ambush circle, once the nomadic cavalry dispatched by the whole army falls into a melee, the king of heaven will not be able to sort it out! When the time comes, our army will have ample opportunity to clean up Belus! ”
Xue Li nodded heavily, and finally calmed down Anna, and also picked up the telescope again, but Anna anxiously turned to the gap of the nomadic tribe, muttering impatiently.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Coincidentally, standing on the top of the high mountain, Belus hummed irritably: "Why haven't you come yet, the pig-like Tutantoise people?"
Both hunters waited so anxiously that finally, the rumbling of horses' hooves resounded in the sky on the northeastern defense line.
The sky was trampled by the horse's hooves, and more than 50,000 elite horsemen rushed forward like a desperate flood peak, and hundreds of totem flags of the Alans Pegasus were at the front, grinning as if they were really alive, forcing people's eyeballs, such a rushing army, even the nomadic warriors at the mouth of the encirclement couldn't help but gasp.
Such a spectacular nomadic army made Anna and Belus breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and gave orders at the same time.
"Prepare to attack, be sure to kill the thief!"
The iron horsemen of the Min State tensed their bodies, holding the reins of the horses and about to turn over at any time, on the other hand, dozens of Persian iron horses rushed down the cliff, and hundreds of tribes under the mountain also tightened their longbows and guns.
However, in the anxious waiting of everyone, the army of the Alans, who had rushed to less than a mile into the mouth of the huge encirclement, suddenly stopped, and all the cavalry stopped together, as if the rushing flood had stopped abruptly, which was awkward.
With such a terrifying army in his hands, the leader of this tribal alliance looked extremely cowardly, waved his hand to stop the advance of the whole army, and the black and round Torenzo looked at the huge nomadic settlement in front of him with trembling hands, and his face quickly turned pale......
