Chapter 59: A Thousand Riders

……

Early in the morning of the third day

Zhao Tuo finally saw someone coming back on the city wall.

It's Niu Dazhuang, and he's alone.

Immediately went to meet him, and saw that he was covered in scars, and the dried blood was condensed on the armor.

Zhao Tuo asked eagerly: "What's the situation with you?" Is there any news of King Qin? ”

Niu Dazhuang said with difficulty: "General Wang and I searched outside for a day, and finally found the traces of King Qin in Wuxiang County. ”

"The King of Qin was besieged by 10,000 Turkic cavalry on a small green hill ten miles south of Wuxiang County."

"Five hundred of us, to attract the attention of the Turks, so that the King of Qin found a vacancy and led his troops to break out."

"I don't want the Turks to directly divide into two routes, we were chased and killed by 2,000 cavalry, and I was left alone to escape."

"Although the King of Qin broke through, he was still chased and killed by the Turks."

"Lord Zhao, you quickly lead the troops to meet the King of Qin."

Zhao Tuo sighed, how could his subordinates have the troops to save King Qin.

He helped Niu Dazhuang down to rest, summoned Wang Mancang and said to him: "From now on, you will be responsible for commanding everyone to defend the city." ”

"You stand on the wall, and if the Turks come to attack, you will wave your flag and shout and make a big noise."

Wang Mancang asked suspiciously, "What about you, my lord?" ”

Zhao Tuo said: "I'm going to save King Qin!" ”

Wang Mancang was even more puzzled and asked, "My lord, how can you save it if you don't have any soldiers and horses?" ”

Zhao Tuo didn't explain to him, but said, "I have a plan!" You just need to defend Jincheng well. ”

Put on the armor, pick up an iron spear, ride a fast horse, calculate the route, Zhao Tuo went out of the city alone, and went straight to the besieged place of the King of Qin.

Zhao Tuo didn't run out long on horseback when he noticed the sound of a large army moving in front of him.

Immediately hid behind the mound on the side, secretly observed the front, and after a while, a group of people came running on horseback.

Zhao Tuo took a closer look, it was Li Shiming, the king of Qin, and the five thousand cavalry he led now had at most two thousand left!

After Li Shimin left, a large group of cavalry appeared behind!

Zhao Tuo looked at it, it was actually the Turkic cavalry, and after roughly counting, the Turkic cavalry had not ten thousand but eight thousand, and the cavalry troops that ran over covered half of the sky with the dust raised.

Zhao Tuo looked at the magnificent cavalry troops, and sighed in his heart: If they are allowed to go to Jincheng, even if Li Shimin is there and guards the city, those people are estimated to die.

Riding on his horse, Zhao Tuo quickly rushed towards the Turkic troops!

A Turkic cavalryman saw Zhao Tuo rushing towards him, and said to the leading general: "General, there is a person rushing towards us, it seems to be a Tang soldier!" ”

The leading general said: "It's just a Tang soldier, you take ten people to hack him to death!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Zhao Tuo watched as ten cavalrymen from the Turkic team rushed towards him, and immediately greeted him.

Seeing the Turkic cavalry shouting at him, Zhao Tuo shot them all off their horses and continued to rush towards the Turkic troops.

When the Turkic leader saw Zhao Tuo, he killed all his cavalry one by one and immediately stopped.

Riding a horse and running towards Zhao Tuo, he shouted: "Tang General ahead, report your name!" ”

Zhao Tuo saw that he actually understood the Tang language, and replied: "Zhang Tuo, under the command of King Qin, who are you!" ”

The Turkic general replied, "My name is Ashnasmo, you came alone, but you came to surrender!" ”

Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "I'm here to persuade you to surrender!" Heaven has the virtue of a good life, I don't want to kill you, why don't you lead your troops to surrender! ”

"Ha, ha, ha!"

Ashina Simo burst out laughing, it was definitely the funniest joke he had ever heard this year, a Tang soldier on the other side actually asked his nine thousand Turkic warriors to surrender to him!

yelled at Zhao Tuo: "I think you're here to find death!" Kill him for me! ”

As soon as Ashina Sima's words fell, nearly a hundred Turkic cavalry rushed towards Zhao Tuo.

"Don't cry if you don't see the coffin!"

Zhao Tuo sighed, rushed up with a horse, swept thousands of troops in one move, and swept the Turkic cavalry in the front row off his horse.

Hundreds of Turkic cavalry, like chopping melons and vegetables, were picked off their horses by Zhao Tuo one by one, on the other hand, Zhao Tuo, as if he also had eyes behind him, he could always easily dodge attacks from all directions.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo was so fierce, Ashina Simo immediately launched an attack with the whole army, and thousands of people surrounded Zhao Tuo!

Zhao Tuo did not turn around and run away, but went straight to Ashina Simo, it was really troublesome to pull out the iron spear on the cavalry, Zhao Tuo threw it away.

Grab the enemy troops on both sides, use them as weapons and swing them around, and after the flesh is blurred, throw them out and grab two more enemy soldiers!

Seeing that Zhao Tuo was about to rush in front of him, Ashina Simo immediately asked the guards to form a human wall and block him in front of him.

Zhao Tuo saw that the human wall was blocking his way, and directly used the Turkic soldiers in his hands to smash them one by one, and smashed out a passage alive!

He jumped forward, abandoned the overwhelmed mount under him, and flew in front of Ashina Simo.

Ashina Simo had never seen such a ferocious opponent, it was like a god descending to earth, and his strong desire to survive made him lay down his weapon.

Kneeling down on one knee, putting his right hand on his chest, taking off his helmet, bowing his head, and respectfully saying: "Ashnasimo, willing to surrender to the most powerful warriors, please accept my highest respect!" ”

All the Turkic cavalry had long been frightened, and when they saw that their main general had surrendered, they immediately knelt down and surrendered.

Zhao Tuo looked at Ashina Simo who was kneeling in front of him, and said with a smile: "You are a character, a hero does not suffer immediate losses, and he will definitely have a great future in the future!" ”

"Tell me about the specifics of your army."

Zhao Tuo got on his mount, looked down at Ashina Simo and asked.

"We are led by the Turki Khan this time, with a total of 20,000 cavalry! The 10,000 cavalry I led first went to Jincheng to check the situation and see how many defenders there were. ”

"I didn't want to meet your Qin King Li Shimin halfway, I originally wanted to surround and kill him, but he ran away."

"I will go to Jinyang City first tonight, and when the rest of the troops led by Tuli Khan arrive tomorrow, I will attack the city!"

Zhao Tuo thought about it, Jincheng wants to hold it now, it is already enough to hang!

said to Ashnasimo: "If I let you go back, can you let you Khan give up attacking Jincheng?" ”

Ashina Simo immediately said: "Of course you can, Tang Jun has a god-like existence like you, how dare we offend!" ”

Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "Then you go!" ”

Ashina Simo listened to Zhao Tuo's words, and immediately rode a horse on the side, afraid that Zhao Tuo would regret it, and quickly retreated with the remaining remnants of the army!

After taking them and running two hundred steps, Zhao Tuo grabbed the spear on the side, threw a shot, and stabbed Ashnasimo's mount to death!

Ashina Simo was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and heard Zhao Tuo shouting to him: "Don't forget what I said to you, if you dare to come again, touch your head!" ”

Watching the Turkic cavalry go away, Zhao Tuo began to return to Jincheng.
