Chapter 811: Bright Sword
Everything happened so suddenly, and it ended so suddenly.
It wasn't until Shen Guang and Zhang Biao had left for a long time that Tong Yehu, who was not killed by Shen Guang's assassination but was almost crushed to death by the Piao-shaped golden wolf guards, was helped up.
The two grenades that Shen Guang and Zhang Biao threw down before leaving were not very powerful, and these two grenades were specially modified in order to cope with the inspection when they entered the camp. They didn't intend to use this kind of powerless grenade to blow up Tong Yehu, but more to cover when retreating, and to make a signal to the infiltrated Flying Tiger Battalion.
When the thick smoke cleared, the tent left a few wounded Turkic soldiers with their skin and flesh open, bleeding profusely, but not much for their lives. Enraged, the little Khan took out his anger at the thrilling assassination he had just received on the wounded soldiers who were still screaming, and pulled a knife from the body of one of the guards to kill the wounded soldiers who were wailing.
Tong Ye Hu endured the severe pain and bandaged the wound, and although the knife on his left arm that was cut deep into the flesh, it even showed white bones. However, after reading it, the shaman who accompanied the army said that the knife wound was not the most serious, and the most serious was the poison on the three poison needles. The shaman said in fear that if he hadn't been slashed again after being hit by the needle, he would have helped him release a lot of poisonous blood after losing a lot of blood from the wound, but he was afraid that Tong Ye Hu Khan would have been unable to save it. After being stabbed, it was a blessing in disguise, but a lot of poisonous blood was released, so it was a life that was picked up. At the moment, although the toxin has not been cleared, it is not a big deal.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the severe pain, Tong Yehu's brows furrowed. Tonight was an unforgettable night for him. During the day, he had just received the news that his 5,000 forwards had been annihilated by Chen's army, but at night they had been assassinated.
Those two assassins made Tong Ye Hu feel uneasy, and it wasn't that he was worried about the elusiveness of the two assassins. He had been uneasy about what the Assassin had said to him earlier. That's all he said. Is it just to gain his temporary trust and disturb his mind for a while, or is all this true?
A sharp pain came from the wound. Tong Ye Hu groaned, his eyes revealing unspeakable fear.
"Shen Guang, Zhang Biao." Tong Ye Hu's brows furrowed. He turned to the tribal generals who had arrived in a hurry and said, "Do any of you know these two people?" ”
Teler Ashina and Simo spoke up: "I have heard of the name of this Shen Guang, and I have heard that people call it the Meat Flying Immortal. His ancestor was originally a high-ranking official in Southern Chen, and his family moved to Chang'an after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, and he was a rogue ranger when he was a teenager. Sui served in the army when he conquered Liao, because of his courage in fighting when attacking Liaodong City, he was promoted to Lang General by Yang Guang, and was later transferred to Chen Pojun's broken military camp, and since then, he has been Chen Kefu's subordinate. He is one of Chen Pojun's henchmen and generals. Now he is the Duke of Liang County, Shangzhu State, and the General of the Auxiliary State. He also served as the general of the two internal armies of Yulin and Jinwu of the Chen Dynasty Tianzi's Guards. ”
Yili's brow furrowed. Said: "It is said that after Chen Pojun became emperor, he was above the Sui Twelve Guards system. Twelve guards were also added, four of which were for the sailors, and the other eight were for the internal guard forbidden army. I heard that among the eight guards, the three guards of Long Xiang, Tiger Ben, and Leopard Cavalry accompanied the Son of Heaven and controlled the gates of the capital of Beijing. The three guards of the Xiao Cavalry, the Wu Cavalry, and the Cloud Cavalry are in charge of the Gyeonggi Guard Garrison, and are stationed at various key roads and passes near Gyeonggi. Only Yulin and Jinwu are the Son of Heaven Guard, also known as the Palace Guard, which is in charge of the palace gates, and the royal security in the palace such as the Son of Heaven. This Shen Guang is not only Chen Pojun's trusted confidant general, but also one of the generals of the two guards closest to Chen Pojun in the Eight Guards of the Internal Army. Isn't it strange that such an important general suddenly appeared outside the fortress and became an assassin? ”…,
Tong Ye Hu's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That Shen Guangxing said before that Emperor Chen had arrived in Yanmen three months ago, and the Chen Dynasty began to secretly mobilize troops to Hedong half a year ago, and he said that there are nearly 300,000 Chen Dynasty troops near Yanmen now. Just now, Ben Khan was still thinking that he might have said these words just to distract me, but now it seems that these words are not necessarily all false. Shen Guang, as Chen Pojun's general of the Guards, suddenly appeared to assassinate Ben Khan, it is very likely that Chen Pojun has really arrived in Yanmen. ”
"Impossible." Wanting Gu She said incredulously, "The total number of soldiers and horses in the Chen Dynasty is only three or four hundred thousand, and even if you add those tribal soldiers and horses in Liaodong, it is only five hundred thousand. And now the Central Plains is still unified, although Chen Pojun established the country and called the emperor, but in addition to the Chen Dynasty, the Central Plains also has Shen Faxing, Yang Hao, Yang Jun, Yu Wenhua, Xue Ju, Li Rail, Liu Wuzhou and many other forces that divided one side. Except for Yang Hao and Li Liang's territory that is not directly adjacent to Chen Pojun, Chen Pojun is basically bordering other forces. Under such circumstances, how could Chen Pojun really transfer all the 300,000 troops into Hedong? What's more, have you forgotten that just three months ago, Chen Pojun mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight against Nan Chen's army in Jiangnan? ”
Que Dushe said: "I think what Yili Khan said is reasonable, Chen Pojun is very likely to have arrived in Yanmen early, although it is a bit exaggerated to say that the 300,000 Chen army is a bit exaggerated. But the soldiers and horses in Hedong will definitely not be the number of twenty or thirty thousand as Liu Wuzhou said, otherwise, how could the five thousand sons and daughters in Dali City be suddenly annihilated. Those five thousand Erlang are all the elite of my Turkic wolf cavalry, and it is not a problem to have one enemy and three enemies, not to mention that they were still camped in the city at that time. Therefore, I estimate that the Chen army that annihilated my vanguard is at least about 30,000 to 50,000, and it must be light cavalry, so that it is possible to annihilate my 5,000 iron cavalry in such a surprise attack. In my judgment, it is very likely that near the south of Yinshan, there has been a group of at least 30,000 to 50,000 Chen army light cavalry that has quietly slaughtered. Great Khan, we should immediately dispatch troops and horses, cross the Yinshan White Road, and annihilate this army of soldiers and horses in one fell swoop before they can sneak up on us! ”
"It's all just speculation, and I think it's safe for us to go as planned, and wait here for the other ministries to converge." Teler Ashina and Simo proposed.
Looking at the subordinates who had seen each other and argued, Tong Yehu only felt dizzy for a while. It seemed that the shaman hadn't detoxified his poison just now, he was in a trance, at this moment, he was at a loss in his heart, and he always felt that the things that the assassin Shen Guang told him about Dou Hongxian and Liu Wuzhou were true.
He kept telling himself in his heart that if he wanted to go south to the Central Plains, then Dou Hongxian and Liu Wuzhou were the best guides. The Assassins said that because they also recognized the importance of these two men, and they were doing so in a divisive manner. But on the other hand, he remembered that the art of war is cloudy, and the false is real, and the real is false, maybe the assassin said that on purpose, in order to cover up for them.
While the generals were still arguing, Tong Yehu raised his head and looked up at the sky through the breach in the golden tent that had been shattered by the previous explosion. The night was deep, and a crescent moon hung in the air, but it seemed to be stained with blood.
Countless footsteps and shouts outside the tent, countless wolf guards surrounded the three layers of the golden wolf tent like iron buckets, and more soldiers were rushing here. The assassination of the Great Khan made all the Turks angry. Rumors spread throughout the camp, and there were even rumors that the Great Khan had been assassinated, and now the tribal leaders were urgently discussing the choice of the next Great Khan.
The rumors stop at the wise, but in this restless dark night, the Turkic camp that stretches for dozens of miles is like boiling hot water, and the 200,000 Turkic soldiers seem to have suddenly become ants on a hot pot, and they are running around, their hearts at a loss. …,
The leaders of the camps left behind their subordinates and kept pouring into the sweat tent, eager to know the news of the life and death of the Great Khan's commander Ye Hu.
In the restless camp, no one noticed that not long after the two explosions in the direction of the sweat tent in the center of the camp in the dark night, the sound of owls chirping constantly sounded around the camp. The sound rang out, as if suddenly countless owls had gathered here, ready to participate in a feast of owls!
Tong Yewang, who had been looking up at the sky, suddenly felt that the chair under him shook, and he felt as if the earth was sinking. With this sinking feeling, the faces of all the leaders in the tent could not help but change drastically, because they suddenly felt an extremely familiar feeling.
It was a slight rhythmic vibration, as if the earth was shaking, but the leaders of the Turkic armies, who were familiar with the steppe and held positions at all levels of the Turkic army, all knew in an instant that there was a cavalry galloping rapidly, and it was rapidly approaching them.
The little Khan's face changed drastically, he threw himself on the ground, put a silver basin upside down on the carpet, and tilted his left ear completely against the silver basin, listening with a solemn face. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the silver platter, as if it were right in front of them.
"Great Khan, it's cavalry! Listen to the sounds, there are more than 10,000 of them, only a few hundred steps away from us! ”
"It's Chen Jun, Chen Jun, this is Chen Jun." Tong Yehu's face was extremely solemn, and he gritted his teeth and spit out those words. He stood up, looked at the south and said, "Chen Pojun, sure enough, I already knew that Ben Khan was going south, damn it." ”
"Great Khan, just Chen Qi, afraid of what he does. Please give the order of the Great Khan, let me lead the sons of my headquarters to kill them and avenge the blood hatred of the five thousand sons and daughters of Dali City! Que Du set up suddenly, his thick hand clenched into a fist and slapped heavily on his chest.
"No, those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming." Teler Ashina and Simo persuaded: "Chen Jun knew that my 200,000 troops were stationed here, and he still dared to attack the camp, and it was after the assassination failed. The Han people in the Central Plains are not stupid, they know that there are tigers in the mountains, and they still go to the tiger mountain, these people must have been prepared. Great Khan, we don't know anything about the attack on Chen's army now, and I think we should stick to the camp and make a follow-up attack. ”
"Know your opponent, don't slack off in a hundred battles!" Tong Ye hugged the wounded arm, muttered to himself, and then said loudly: "Pass on the order of Ben Khan, all departments should hold the big camp steadily, and without Ben Khan's order, they must not go into battle without authorization." Ben Khan wants to see who wants to force the tiger's whiskers! ”
As soon as Tong Yehu's words fell, everyone in the tent only felt a violent vibration coming from under their feet, making people a little unsteady on their feet. The next moment, countless deafening loud noises came, and through the countless holes in the golden wolf tent, everyone only saw the camps of the 200,000 Turkic army that stretched for dozens of miles, in the dark night, one after another, countless rising flames and gunsmoke!
