Chapter 121: Champion Guerrilla General (3)
The afternoon sun shone on the Qilian Mountains as always, as if no matter how many teenagers there were, it would not change. In this fortress on the south mountain of the Danghe River, the soldiers had cleaned up the corpses of the Tubo people they had just killed, and a row of soldiers who had changed into Tubo military uniforms stood on the fortress wall. Shi Jingfeng only ambushed a hundred cavalry in the fort and used it to cut off the enemy's rear route. * As soon as the soldier changed into a Tibetan military uniform and smeared some dust on his face, he saw a Tibetan convoy coming from a distance.
The rescued Han slaves wore Tibetan military uniforms, stood on the wall of the fort and waved their flags, waved the flag that they were safe and sound, and replied a few words to the escorted Tubo cavalry in Tubo dialect, and the Tubo cavalry under the fort went with laughter and scolding.
On one side of the valley road, the soldier pressed his body behind the rock, waiting for orders. Shi Jingfeng closed his eyes and felt the sunlight shining from his head.
"General, here."
A junior colonel lying on his stomach turned his face and said to Shi Jing. A convoy of hundreds of people did come over on the dilapidated official road, and the people were noisy. The light was so strong that it seemed that even the faces of the front-line soldiers could be seen clearly. Shi Jingfeng opened his eyes and looked at it, and ordered:
"Ready!"
After the order was issued, on both sides of the valley road, the originally loose * soldiers suddenly became nervous, and stood in a posture and formation conducive to attack with weapons in hand.
However, just as the Tibetan army was about to enter the ambush circle, the convoy suddenly listened, and after the soldiers shouted a few words, two hundred Tibetan cavalry suddenly dispersed and protected the front of the convoy.
"What's going on?"
Shi Jingfeng asked Cao Liang, who was stunned. Cao Liang stammered:
"They say there is an enemy attack."
"What?"
A small colonel whispered in surprise:
"How can they know?"
A hot sweat came out from behind Cao Liang, his face flushed, and he stammered:
"I, I don't know."
Shi Jingfeng didn't care about Cao Liang's embarrassment, stretched out his hand to stop Cao Liang, but he pricked up his ears to listen, and after a while, said:
"Strange, it seems that there is a large force of cavalry rushing this way."
Cao Liang's breath gasped at this time.
Now that the situation has changed, the original plan has to be changed. Shi Jingfeng gave the order to wait and see, and the soldier immediately crouched down again, but still retained the posture of battle. Even Cao Liang quietly pulled out the short knife for self-defense, which he snatched from the head man last night.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground was clear, and occasionally loud scolding horses could be heard. Not only did the Tibetan soldiers show frightened expressions on their faces, but even the * soldiers also showed grim expressions.
Just kidding, there were at least a thousand of these cavalry, and only two thousand came. If it is a Tibetan person, it will be a little difficult to fight Shazhou.
Shi Jingfeng listened for a while and asked Cao Liangdao:
"It doesn't seem to be the Tibetan army that came. Cao Liang, have there been horse thieves in the neighborhood recently? ”
Cao Liang blushed, his eyes showed admiration, and he stammered:
"Back to General Shi's words, three months ago, the big horse thief Sha Wuxian haunted the neighborhood."
Shi Jingfeng:
"How many men does he have?"
Cao Liang said:
"This villain doesn't know, some people have seen him only take a few people to be driven straight by the Tubo people, and sometimes he can bring out hundreds of people, and even the fortress of the Tubo army dares to attack."
Shi Jingfeng nodded and said:
"Oh, then why is he called Sha Wuji?"
Cao Liang said:
"This Sha Wuxian was originally a slave, because he injured the son of the head man, he escaped into the desert to avoid trouble, the head man killed his whole family, for this, he joined the gang of horse thieves, and later killed the head man's whole family to avenge it. Sha Wuxian riding skills are very good, it is said that no one can find him after escaping into the desert, so he is nicknamed Sha Wuji, as for what it was originally called, I don't know anymore. ”
Shi Jingfeng:
"So, this person and the Tubo people are mortal enemies?"
Cao Liang nodded excitedly and said:
"General Hui Shi, this big leader of Sha Wuxian only kills the Tubo head people and those who help the Tubo head people do bad things, and sometimes he will help us poor men. If it weren't for General Shi to come, the villain would be ready to find a gap in two years to go to the sand master. Not only me, but many men in our oasis want to go. ”
Shi Jingfeng said to himself:
"I can't imagine that this person is so popular."
As he was talking, when he turned his eyes back to the open space at the mouth of the valley, a large number of horse thieves had already rushed out of the valley road, and the horse thieves shouted and cursed, and automatically divided into two groups to outflank the Tubo army. The Tibetan cavalry was armed with bows and arrows, strictly guarded, blocking the important place at the mouth of the valley, and in the distance, dozens of horses were escorting the Tubo people in the middle to gallop back and forth, which was sent by the Tubo people to escort these family members and merchants to the small fort to hide.
Shi Jingfeng smiled slightly, this is called self-casting.
After the horse thieves had parted their sides, a banner was struck out of the mouth of the valley, a piece of black cloth with a horse embroidered in the middle. Cao Liang said happily:
"General Shi, it's Sha Wuxi."
At the same time, there was also a burst of exclamation among the Tibetan army. Shi Jingfeng said with a smile:
"This sand has no trace, it looks like it's not a small name."
On the tall horse under the banner sat a man eight feet tall, with a black and red face, a beard on his upper lip, and a thick black fur hat on his head. From a distance, Cao Liang couldn't hear what he was talking about, but he could hear the threat and trembling of his voice. The man on the horse laughed, and when the whip was pointed, one of the thieves' arrows flew out and shot the officer off his horse, and when the whip was pointed again, the thief had already begun to charge.
Shi Jingfeng looked at it for a while and said:
"This man is not only a horse thief, but there are still some rules for marching and fighting."
Seeing that the horse thieves swept away the leaderless Tubo soldiers, Shi Jingfeng issued another order, saying:
"It's really a coincidence that there is no book, it's time for us to go down and meet the big boss of Sha Wuji."
The horse thieves without a trace had already rushed to the small fort, shouting at the defenders in the small fort to open the door and surrender, otherwise they would be killed. The small fort has been occupied by *, who dares to open the door without Shi Jingfeng's order? The embarrassed horse thieves were about to attack the city when they heard a bang bang, and a row of sharp arrows was inserted ten paces in front of the horse thieves' queue. A voice came from the fort and said:
"Whoever dares to go forward and cross this arrow will be killed!"
A hoarse voice sounded among the horse thieves:
"Huh? Speaking Chinese? Don't you know who I am? Can this little fortress stop us? ”
"Hahahahahaha, I just know that the big boss is a well-known man, and I just want to make friends with the big boss."
It was another string of loud Chinese words, but it came from behind the horse thief, and the faces of Sha Wuxian and the other horse thieves suddenly changed.
