Chapter 231: Killing in the Wind and Grass

Fujimaki hurried back before dawn, found the hiding place of the people, and informed Li Siye that the light cavalry had sent someone back to inform the army to delay the start of the march, and the time was set for tomorrow morning.

Li Siye nodded, and continued to lower his body, monitoring the movements of the lawn mower team.

As far as the eye could see down the hillside, the tall grass on the ground had been cut clean as if it had been shaved, leaving only a few low shrubs and poisonous weeds, and the twenty ox carts on the side were densely packed with piles of pasture piles forming a hill.

Li Siye frowned and looked at the movement below, and the two samurai overseers rode together on horseback and began to talk and discuss.

He covered his earlobe with his right hand in the hope of hearing the two of them talking, but judging by the gestures of the two fangs, they were referring to the shadowy side of the mountain.

The samurai seemed to have come to an end, and half of them escorted the ox carts back to the city to unload their goods, while the other half, driven by the overseers, went around to the hillside and began to mow the grass.

Li Siye led the soldiers to slowly retreat, retreating into the deeper grass that was safer and more hidden.

The sun descended along the heavens, and the people waited for the return of the procession of carriages.

Soon the vehicles appeared on the rutted road of the grassy grass, and even the yaks barked far and kindly, and the herdsmen pulled the reins in front of them, until all the vehicles entered the shadow of the mountain, and they were no longer visible from the head of the city of Talas.

The leading Turk warrior shouted loudly on his horse, "Goo Gu Luqi, Guruk!"

Li Siye called Bai Xiaode to his side and asked in a low voice: "You are a Hu man, can you understand what he says?"

"I understand, he said to cut it quickly, that's it for today, and I'll go back in the evening to give you a full meal."

Ho, that sounds pretty inhumane.

"Captain Li," Tian Zhen squatted to his side and whispered, "Everyone and the car have already come to the back of the mountain, and they can do it."

Li Siye nodded, gently poked his head out to the vehicles lined up below the hillside, counted them carefully, squatted down and shook his head: "It seems that the number is wrong, there is one car missing, what's the matter?"

Duan Xiushi also went out to count, and also lowered his head and said, "There is indeed one missing, what should I do now?"

"One less is one less, let's do it first. It's not early, and if you wait for these people to fill up their cars and set off, it will be difficult to kill them. Tian Zhen said anxiously beside him.

Li Siye nodded and ordered in a low voice: "Start preparing."

Everyone took off the crossbow from their backs and began to kick the crossbow to wind, but Li Siye suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, Duan Xiushi, you lie on the top of the mountain and take a look, and see if there is a shadow of an oxcart in the direction of Talas City."

"Huh," Duan Xiushi got the order, and climbed up the mountain with his body bent, the top of the mountain was sparsely planted with vegetation, and he needed to take a detour as far as possible to avoid being discovered by the loading team.

He wasted a lot of time back and forth, seeing that the sunset had already attached itself to the rolling mountains in the distance, and the time passed so quickly.

Duan Xiushi moved to Li Siye's side, gasped and said, "There is indeed an ox cart in the distance, one person escorts and one person pulls the cart."

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and continued to wait patiently. They are already prepared for this, and their plans must be constantly adjusted as they change.

The late ox carts slowly followed the foothills to the shade of the mountain, the carts full of grass were ready to go, and the samurai who were sitting on the grass to rest had already risen, each leading their horses, waiting for the last few carts to be filled.

"Wind, do it! Two people have one goal, don't coincide! Remember, leave a living mouth. ”

The men wound their crossbows with their feet on their feet, and stood up to keep the line going, and they swam among the tall grass in pairs, the tips of the vigorous tall grass shaking slightly, and a gust of wind blew, occasionally leaking a half-coat of armor. The Turgish soldiers sat on their horses, their heads held high like ostriches, and when they turned their eyes to this side, they seemed to be silent.

The Tang army gradually dispersed into a semicircle, squatting in the tall grass, and the flat-end crossbow machine aimed at the mountain and aimed at the turk soldiers, one of them shot the main shot, and the other shot supplementally. Hold your breath and wait for Li Siye to give the final order to attack.

The Turquoise soldiers had not yet noticed, the captain was squinting on his horse, the lieutenant was about to turn over his horse, and several men stood in front of the herdsmen with their waists crossed, and encouraged them to speed up their work with words.

"Do it!"

The sound of the bowstring vibrating sporadically, arrows seemed to come from all directions, and a guy in a black cloak fell from his horse. The frightened soldier turned back in convulsion and poof! The arrows struck like the wind, and he held his hands in his throat and blood gushed out between his fingers, and fell straight to the ground.

A warrior fled, shaking the reins of his horse, and two bolts flew in quick succession, striking him in the back, and then he fell to the ground on his horse's back.

One of the soldier's feet had already stepped on the stirrup, and the arrow grazed his felt hat and struck the horse's neck, and the horse neighed in fright, and spread its hooves and ran, and the stirrup pulled and pulled him so that he fell on his back and dragged him five or six feet away from the grass.

"Ahh Help me!"

The two soldiers in front of them looked more frightened than their horses, drew their scimitars and galloped in the direction of the ox cart, and each fell down with two pops. The horse continued to run forward, stepping over the limp corpse, as if stepping on jelly and splashing blood, the man who was dragged on the stirrup was still screaming, but no one paid attention to him, several resolute warriors raised their swords and rushed towards the ambush grass, and the Tang army in bright armor stood up from the grass, and struck with bows and crossbows, and the strength of the short distance made these warriors fall like a straw pole.

The young men standing beside the ox cart crouched on the ground, instinctively holding their heads in their hands, or staring blankly at the slaughter in front of them.

The frightened horse continued to run, rushing towards the grass where the Tang army was, the two Tang soldiers calmly avoided the horse's momentum, gave way sideways, and one decisively drew his knife and quickly cut it off at the horse's belly, boom! The leather that pulls the stirrup is broken in two. The samurai's trail was over for the time being, his eyes widened in horror, his mouth gasping violently, and the horses had run to the side and bowed their heads to eat the tender grass.

The Tang soldiers put their swords into their sheaths, and the other held the crossbow machine in one hand and aimed it at the warrior lying on the ground. The others had already drawn their swords and mended them one by one at the downed Turgish warriors.

"Captain, there's a live mouth here, no injuries!"

Bai Xiaode, who was carrying two guns on his back, walked over with one hand carrying a turquoise soldier who was paralyzed into a dog. Li Siye put away the bow and crossbow in his hand, rolled his eyelids and said, "It just so happens that I also have a living mouth here."

The two turquoise warriors knelt side by side in front of Tang Jun, muttering and begging for mercy, probably saying that they were old and young.

Li Siye said indifferently: "It's enough to leave one alive to lead the way, two people are not easy to control."

"Which one to kill, which one to keep?"

Bai Xiaode held the crossbow in his hand, and the arrows on the crossbow arm moved around on the foreheads of the two turrets.

The two of them were pale and their lips trembled, and one of them suddenly burst into a hard Central Plains official dialect: "I can speak Chinese!" I would say, please...... Please. ”

He put his palms together in front of his chest, which was a gesture to worship the Buddha, and the sweat on his forehead fell down the tip of his nose to his hands and dripped to the ground.

Li Siye said: "It is easier to communicate if you can speak Chinese. ”

Bai Xiaode turned sideways slightly, Li Siye turned back, and both of them twisted their heads to the other side.

Syllable!

The bolt pierced the neck of the soldier on the left, and his thick plasma squirted and he lay stiffly on the ground, bright flowers blooming from his neck. The other man's shoulders trembled, his eyes widened and he turned to look at his compatriot who had died tragically, and hurriedly bowed his head to the ground: "Thank God, Buddha bless." ”

Li Siye looked at him and asked gently, "Say your name." ”

"Captain, my name is Giza, Giza."
