Chapter 696: Are You Sure?
Well? Whether it was Taoglas or anyone else, they were all stunned. The group fell silent to think about the possibility of Gunbu's words, but for a moment, Taoglas laughed and cried.
"The Great Khan is wise! If that's the case, they're really stealing chickens and rice! Great Khan, let me go! ”
"Good! It's rare that you have the heart to fight for the tribe, so this matter will be left to you! Without further ado, you also took people upstream to ambush. Let's go! ”
"Yes, Great Khan!" So the five thousand soldiers' buttocks were not warm, and they quietly came out of the camp again.
Early the next morning. The people of Zasaktu, who had been following the flow of the river, noticed that the river had returned to its original state, so they quickly reported it to Subadi.
When Subadi heard this, he was very angry and called Temur.
"What's the matter with you? Why is the river flowing down again? Is it not blocked? ”
"Impossible, Great Khan! After we cut off the flow, we repeatedly confirmed that without external force, it is impossible to rush away! It must have been discovered by the people of Tushetu and re-dug up! Temur swore yes.
"They dug up? It's fine during the day, but could it be that you dig it at night? ”
"It should have been dug at night, these guys are so cunning!" Temur said hatefully.
"If they dig it up, we'll plug it up! You take the people on another run, and after cutting off the river, don't rush back. By nightfall, Ben Khan had sent 10,000 soldiers to ambush the upper reaches of the river. Aren't they willing to dig? Ben Khan let them go and never return! ”
"Yes, Great Khan!" Temur nodded, and went around again with two thousand men. When he arrived at the place where the flow had been cut off before, he saw the traces of the river being dug up again, and he didn't think much about it, so he started with people.
They were in full swing here, and they didn't notice the people lying on the grass two miles upstream. The man let out an animal chirp, and it was heard far away.
Immediately afterward, someone chirped not far upstream. It had been carried far away, and where the people of Temur were sure they could not see, a man stood up and ran into the distance.
After a while, he came to Taoglas and reported to him the news of Taoglas's excavation. Without saying a word, Taoglas mounted his horse and charged at the place where they were working.
Five thousand against two thousand, with mental calculation or unintentional, plus Temur's people were still working, so naturally they were beaten to the ground, and two thousand soldiers were completely annihilated.
Only a few people rushed into the river and escaped, including Temur.
Immediately after the battle, Taoglas led his men back to his camp and happily reported the good news to Gunbu.
"Good! Well done! "Gon Bu praised twice in a row, although the number of enemies destroyed is not very large, but it is a great boost to everyone's morale at the moment.
"Great Khan, after annihilating so many of them this time, Subadi must be angry. We will definitely send people to continue upstream, what should we do next? Taoglas was clearly not carried away by this small victory, calmly analyzing the current situation.
Yes, it's just that they killed 2,000 of them, and Suba won't give up in the first place. Gonbu's brow furrowed again.
It's definitely impossible to repeat the trick. Subadi has plenty of troops, and can divide at least 10,000 or 20,000 people upstream, and can also ensure that they have an advantage in the confrontation.
What's next?
"In my opinion, let's wait and see what gets better. If they don't have a lot of people upstream, we'll find a way to eat them. If they send a large number of people, can we launch a surprise attack on their camp directly? One of the leaders suggested.
"Impossible! Even if they send 20,000 people, there can still be 30,000, and we can't count more than 20,000 people now, and launch a surprise attack on their camp? How could it be beaten! His words aroused the opposition of another person.
But when he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. The truth is indeed such a truth, no one has many families, but they can't beat it.
"Great Khan, the fact that they can think of such a way as cutting off the water source at the moment means that they don't have the confidence to break through our defenses in a short period of time. The question at hand is how to solve the problem of water sources. ”
"Everyone knows the truth, but if they send 10,000 soldiers upstream tomorrow to cut off the flow, what will we do?" Temur asked a central question.
"Save more water, the more the merrier!" Gonbu frowned and thought for a long time, but there was no good way, so he had to order to save more water.
He was in a bad mood, and everyone left his tent one after another, and went with the people below to get water.
If Shuo Lei can send 10,000 or 20,000 reinforcements, his own situation will be much better, right? Gunbu thought as he stepped out of the tent and looked at the sky in the distance.
While Gon Bu was thinking about reinforcements, reinforcements were on their way. It's just that the speed is still very slow, according to the current speed, I'm afraid that there will be no ten days and eight days to get to the battlefield, the soldiers who asked for help are in a hurry, but no one pays attention to him after mentioning several opinions, and he can't sleep all day long.
Temur floated down the river until there were no pursuers downstream before he climbed ashore, ignoring his wet clothes, and ran desperately to the camp with dozens of subordinates.
When Subadi saw him so embarrassed, his eyes widened, and he didn't seem to understand what was happening.
"Great Khan, when we were cut off, we were ambushed by Tushetu, and thousands of their soldiers and horses suddenly came out and caught us off guard. The brothers under his command died to death, and when they were caught, we ran back! As soon as Temur's words fell, Subati shouted angrily: "He Gunbu ate the gall of the leopard, and even those people dare to take the initiative to attack and ambush us!?" "It is also their negligence, thinking that there are few people on the other side, so they can only cower in the camp and dare not come out.
I didn't think that they would dare to take the initiative to set up for themselves.
"Temur, tomorrow you continue to take people upstream to cut off the flow! Take 10,000 people this time! And then they will be stationed there, and Ben Khan will see how many troops they have to eat your ten thousand! Subadi angrily gave the order.
Early the next morning, Temur again led 10,000 men upstream. This time, instead of hiding their tracks, they swaggered past the camp in Tushetu.
Such a provocation by Hongguoguo made Gunbu quite angry, but he was helpless. By noon, the water downstream had diminished again and had stopped flowing again.
"Great Khan, why don't I take people to raid upstream at night? Isn't it 10,000? You can give me 10,000! Guaranteed to kill them, they will not be able to defeat the army! "One of the chiefs approached Gunbu and showed that he was willing to lead men to raid Subadi at night.
Gunbu stared at him for a long time, and finally spoke, "Are you sure?" ”
