I saw that the soldiers in the front row of the ambush were each holding a bucket, and Liu Zhang could faintly see the reflection of the water inside.

Liu Zhang was sure that it was water, and if it was oil, there would be a smell coming out of so many open barrels.

Liu Zhang was completely puzzled, he had seen a sneak attack with a bow and arrow, a sneak attack with stones, a sneak attack with tung oil, but he had never seen a sneak attack with water, it was concentrated sulfuric acid and it was almost the same.

It was getting dark, and even though it was April, the wind was still blowing like a knife in the grassland.

"It's cold." Su Lan said, obviously the Rest Empire is not as cold as here, Su Lan is not very comfortable, and the vulture bone hurriedly put the coat like a cover on Su Lan's body.

"Husband, why don't you go back first, and see how you can catch this husband." Xiao Furong said.

Liu Zhang nodded hesitantly, and also wanted to go back to plan first, then set up camp, and bypass the Gobi Desert tomorrow, but Liu Zhang stood up and the cold wind blew, and his heart immediately lit up.

"I see, such a cunning Westerner."

Liu Zhang finally understood why these pu people attacked with water, maybe the effect of sneaking attack with water here is better than using concentrated sulfuric acid, in such a cold weather, if you pour water on the wide road below at night, it won't all freeze the next day?

If Ake's army passes through here, the cavalry can't go at all, then the whole army will be wiped out, Liu Zhang only then saw that there was firewood and grass piled up among the weeds in the dirt mountain, and it was obvious that when Ake's cavalry couldn't cross the wide road, he threw the firewood and grass down.

These people from the Western Regions don't have rockets and other sharp weapons, these local methods are really good, if they hadn't discovered it themselves, Ake's army of 5,000 people wouldn't have died.

But. Two thousand people were lying on the dirt bag. Arco didn't have time to check because it was a raid. was discovered by himself, and it was not a matter of minutes to solve these two thousand people.

…………

Ake led the army to Puzhi City, saw that the defenders at the head of the city were lazy, and they were really defenseless, and immediately led the Di cavalry to attack the city. Unable to organize a defense, the cattails were quickly captured.

Ako led his army into Pu City, and before he arrived at the palace, he saw the king of the former country of Pu leading the ministers of civil and military affairs to greet him, and everyone was sincerely afraid.

"I didn't know that the leader of Zhelan had arrived, and asked Zuo Shuai for forgiveness." The king brought dozens of civil and military officers to visit Ake, and the prestige of Zhelanying rose greatly after he obtained the Hetao, and Ake, as the second person, also rose to the top, and Zuo Shuai Ake was still very famous in these small countries. As soon as he saw the flag, the king knew who was coming.

"Hmph." Ako snorted coldly. Looking down at the king, he said: "My Zhelan leader is a grassland hero, after obtaining the Hetao, the people of the grassland are all convinced, I heard that you dare to gather other countries, bewitch the people of other countries, to fight against the leader of Zhelan, don't you want to live?" ”

"No, no." The king hurriedly lowered his head and denied it, his voice trembled, and his fat body was frightened like chaff, but Ako didn't see it, and a sneer flashed in the eyes of the king who lowered his head.

"Do you dare to say no, do you really dare not destroy your little pus?" Ake said sharply, Pu is a small country, the total population is only a few thousand, and it really can't stop Ake's five thousand people, if the city is attacked, Pu Zhuang can also throw stones, as long as they enter the city, those people's army is no different from ordinary people.

But it's easy to destroy a cattail, but it's difficult to subdue other countries, if you destroy the cattail country and can't find an agent, the cattail won't be stable, and if you slaughter the city, it's not impossible, but the other chariot countries must be cold, and they will definitely have to unite against the Di people.

Arco knew he couldn't do this, he was just threatening the king.

"That's all one of my lieutenants, I am strongly opposed, now such a big mistake, Xiao Wang regrets it, as long as Zuo Shuai and the leader of Zhelan forgive, Xiao Wang will not dare to betray the leader of Zhelan for the rest of his life, and at the same time he is willing to compensate the leader of Zhelan."

The fat king beckoned to the people behind, and several big carts were transported over, Ake did not speak, in fact, this is also the best effect, the rapid raid is successful, it will definitely be able to deter the countries of the chariot division, it is not okay to kill blindly, and now that the country of Pu has been broken so quickly, I believe that other countries must be afraid.

As a former country of Pu that offended the Di people, of course, it had to make compensation, but Pu was a small country, and Ake didn't plan to ask for much compensation.

But when he saw Pu's compensation, Ake was still shocked, only to see that Pu brought five carts of gifts, one cart was gold, silver, jewelry, jade, etc., as well as a lot of raw ore copper blocks, iron blocks, and a cart of black wood.

Needless to say, gold and silver jewelry, and the iron and copper in the grassland are not comparable to the Central Plains, which are very precious, and these copper and iron pieces are obviously refined, and they can be turned into weapons with only simple smelting, and the grasslands are very short of weapons, almost all of them are bought from the Central Plains, and the price is expensive.

In many cases, in order to obtain iron tools, the grassland buys iron tools in the name of buying iron pots, and then casts them into weapons, so you can imagine how difficult it is for the grasslands to obtain iron tools.

The Sichuan army's iron control of Xiqiang is also an important magic weapon to deter Xiqiang.

So many iron and bronze tools, although it is not a great wealth for the entire Di army, but it is definitely all of the cattails, plus the gold, silver and jewelry, it is estimated that it is the entire treasury of this country, and the black wood is also very useful.

Black wood is a softwood in the Tianshan Mountains, very tough, generally speaking, the Central Plains buy black wood for construction, black wood is not only strong, not insect rot, and warm in winter and cool in summer.

Just the steppe people get black wood, generally speaking, it is a wooden pole for making weapons, such weapons, the wooden poles are similar to metal, and the combat effectiveness and weapon loss rate will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, this black wood, like copper and iron, is also used as a weapon.

So many generous and practical things have been sacrificed, and it is estimated that all the savings of the pu class have been emptied, and Ako can't say anything more, so he accepts the gift.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Ako spent the night in the city, and for the sake of insurance, he did not even eat the food sent by the king, and ate all the dry food, which was won easily, but the harvest was great, not only deterring the cattails, but also obtaining a lot of booty.

Ah Ke thought, but suddenly frowned, and realized that something was wrong, this Pu country prepared gifts too quickly, his front foot entered the city, and the king of the back foot offered five carts of gifts, this speed, is it too fast?

Even if the iron, copper, gold, silver and jewelry are from the treasury, then the black wood should definitely not be, because the black wood is a rare wood, which is rare in the Tianshan Mountains, and it is now a cold moon, which is more difficult to collect.

But then think about it, maybe it's some kind of building that Pu is going to make, or maybe it's casting weapons, don't you see that those copper and iron pieces are ready? Maybe it was to cast weapons to cooperate with the Xianbei people to attack the Di people.

Ako breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, fortunately he came ahead of schedule and picked up a big bargain.

…………………………………………

At this time, there were several people in a circle in the Pu Palace, one of them was the fat king, but he did not sit on the main seat at all, in this Pu country is the king is the largest, but the main seat is a young man sitting.

The young man had a hooked nose, he was originally a very handsome face, but he had a lot of wind and frost, and he was a ruthless character at first glance, and his identity was the little king of the country after the chariot, named Dahamu.

The Cheshi Hou Kingdom is the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the largest country after the division of the Cheshi Kingdom, and one country can compete with several other countries, so the south of the Beilu State is this country, and the buffer of the Beilu State is the combination of the buffer Cheshi Consequence and the former country of Pu, the latter country of Pu, and so on.

It is in this way that the countries north of the Tien Shan Mountains reach equilibrium.

At this time, the little king of the Cheshi Houguo came to the Pu Country, and Nadahamu snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that Zhe Lanying would be so decisive and lead the army so quickly, if it wasn't for the Xianbei people to report in advance, we would really be caught off guard." ”

After Zhe Lanying took the Hetao, it was the snake that swallowed the elephant and annexed the West Xianbei, and the Xianbei tribe below was powerless to resist the Di people, but they were not convinced, and they were loyal to Zhe Lanying on the surface, but in fact they wanted to fornicate with the Xianbei people.

No matter how fast Ake's speed is, it is an army after all, how can anyone ride alone fast, Ake has only traveled two-thirds of the way, and Pu has already received the news, and then told the Cheshi Houguo, and the Cheshi Houguo immediately sent the little prince Dahamu to support the Pu Guo.

"It's a pity, this time when Ake, the left handsome, dies, I see that the people still dare to be arrogant." A Pu general said.

The fat king was worried: "If we destroy Ake's 5,000 troops, will we attract the wrath of Zhe Lanying, and then the whole army will attack my chariot division, I heard that Zhe Lanying is very good at a head-on duel, then we can't stop it, and Ah Ke has 5,000 troops, can our ambush really work?" If you can't extinguish ......"

The king of Pu was worried about his five carts of gifts, which were really all the property of the former country of Pu, and he also borrowed a part of the latter country of Pu, which could achieve two purposes, the first was to calm Ake's anger and not immediately kill Pu on a large scale, and the second was to let Ake's troops increase the burden to facilitate the ambush.

But after all, it is all the property of the cattail, and it is not a joke if it is borrowed from the country after the cattail, if it is lost.

The two thousand troops were cobbled together from the former and post-Pu countries, and there were some small countries close to the former Pu country, and they were almost all dispatched, but even so, the fat king still had no chance of winning.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Dahamu called His Majesty in his mouth, but he didn't have any respect for the fat king, obviously because he was the leader of the great country, that is, the natural leader here. (To be continued......)
