Chapter 997: The Captured General of Qiuzi

Na Li Du is just a guard general in the East Turtle City of the Guizi Country, although he is a general who commands the army, but that is in the East Turtle City, the status of Na Li Du is not high.

Because Na Lidu was born relatively lowly, Na Lidu's father was just an ordinary peasant from the Guizi Kingdom, and his mother was a Middle-earth who was plundered by the Western Regions in the early years.

Nalidu grew up under the care of his mother, who always wanted to return to Middle-earth despite her mother's uprooting and hostile to the Western Regions.

But in the eyes of Na Lidu in his childhood, his mother was the most gentle person in the world, and he was very spoiled by himself, and even later his father relied on business to develop and had other women around him, while ignoring Na Lidu's mother, Na Lidu's mother was still very careful to take care of Na Lidu.

But Na Li will never forget that his mother later caused the postpartum illness left by himself because of his hard work.

When he was seriously ill, Nalidu's father didn't even bother to look at it, until Nalidu's mother finally died, and his father was just hastily mourned.

When Na Lidu was still wearing linen and filial piety for his mother, his father had already married a young woman from the country of Qiuzi, and Na Lidu left home in a fit of rage.

Later, he joined the army of the Kingdom of Qiuzi, where Na Li showed his talent, relying on the knowledge of Middle-earth learned from his mother, Na Li repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the war, and soon received a series of promotions.

If it weren't for Na Lidu's problematic background, I'm afraid he would have become the city lord of East Turtle City by now.

It's a pity that Na Lidu was born lowly, and even his father was unwilling to come forward to say a few good words for him, so he could only become a general who commanded the army.

In the East Turtle City, there are still many generals on the same level as Na Lidu, so it seems that Na Lidu has a heavy army, but in fact he doesn't have much real power. At the same time, he was also excluded by his colleagues, as well as suppressed by the narrow-minded noble-born city lord in East Turtle City.

Today, because he found out that there was an abnormality in the east of the city, the city lord handed over this tiring work to Na Lidu and ordered Na Lidu to lead his troops to explore the situation.

In fact, this kind of thing didn't need Na Lidu to lead his troops at all, he only needed to send scouts.

But under the direct order of the city lord, Na Li had no way to disobey, so he could only follow the order.

Riding on the horse, Na Lidu felt very unconvinced in his heart. I feel that I have more military achievements than the city lord, but I have to be angry here.

However, after all, that strength has climbed up step by step from the bottom, and naturally it still has that endurance.

Although he was still under the jurisdiction of others, Nali felt that if he got the opportunity, he would already be promoted.

While Naridu's thoughts were wandering, the scouts who were scouting ahead had returned.

Sitting on horseback, he saluted Nalidu and said, "General, some strange footprints have been found in front, which look like a group of people left behind. There is no mark of a horse. โ€

Nali came to his senses and looked at the scout captain who had reported back to him.

This scout captain is about the same as his own birth, and has been following him for many years.

It can be said that he is the right-hand man of Na Lidu, and he is also the most trusted subordinate of Na Lidu.

Get feedback from the other party. Na Li thought for a moment and asked, "Deman, who do you think it will be?"

The scout captain lowered his head and thought for a moment, then responded in a deep voice: "General, Deman thinks." It could be some outcasts from the surrounding area, or a caravan going the wrong way. โ€

Na Li nodded, and then asked, "Then can you find any trace of those guys now?"

Desan asked with some confusion: "Does the general want to see those people?"

Na Li said with some concern, "I always feel a little uneasy. I'm afraid it may not be a homeless or a caravan, so you still have to see it with your own eyes to feel at ease. โ€

In fact, Demang has great respect for Nali, and he also admires Nalidu's means and strength in commanding troops.

Especially when fighting, Na Li has always been able to have extraordinary perception, and can always predict some crises, so as to lead the army to avoid a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat.

It can be said that in the foreign wars of the Qiuzi Kingdom, the mortality rate of the army led by Na Li Du was the lowest, because Na Li Du was always able to avoid strong enemies, and at the same time find the enemy's weak point to attack, and often achieved very critical results, and even turned the tide of the war.

Now, Na Li Du said that he wanted to see those who left footprints, and Demang also felt that there was some truth in what Na Li Du said, so he lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "General, if we follow the tracks, we should be able to catch up with the other party soon, but the other party seems to be heading to the northeast, and we are afraid that it is not easy to track." โ€

Na Li thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's chase after it and try not to cross the border." โ€

With Nalidu's order, he led his army, led by Deman's scout team, and quickly tracked in the direction of those strange footprints.

At this time, the mechcorps led by Beluti had already laid an ambush, and the mechwarriors responsible for luring the enemy had also returned.

Beluti asked the returning warriors, "Has the enemy attracted it?"

The mechanical warrior immediately replied: "Well, they have been lured, they are on horseback, and I believe they will chase after them soon." โ€

Belletti was very satisfied and said, "Okay, then let's get ready to fight." โ€

At Berutti's command, the mechanical warriors immediately entered their respective ambush places and quietly awaited the arrival of the enemy.

"Da da da ......" accompanied by the sound of rapid horse hooves, a group of cavalry soon appeared in the field of vision of the mechanized corps.

Beludi and the others did not rush to attack, but waited quietly, waiting for the cavalry to go deeper and enter the encirclement of the mech.

The cavalry led by Nalidu traced down the footprints, but never found any trace of the ones who left the footprints.

Sensing that something seemed to be wrong, he raised his arm and ordered the cavalry to stop, turn over and get off the horse, and squat down on the ground himself to carefully examine the footprints on the ground.

Suddenly, Na Li found that there was something wrong with those footprints on the ground, because those footprints didn't look like ordinary people had stepped on them at all.

Because the footprints were all very deep, it looked like the person who left the footprints should be carrying a heavy load, and it was a very heavy weight.

Suddenly, Na Li remembered a possibility, that is, the heavy armored soldiers of the Tang Empire who had appeared in the Western Regions.

Although it seems somewhat impossible. Because there was no news coming, it was said that the Tang Empire had sent troops into the Western Regions.

But the current situation made Na Li feel uneasy, and after a moment of silence, Na Li stood up and turned on his horse, and ordered very decisively: "Retreat." โ€

Hearing the order to retreat, all the soldiers present were stunned.

They didn't expect that Nali would actually let them retreat, after all, they tracked them down, and now they haven't even seen each other's figures.

But the cavalry did not dare to have any objections, after all, Nali was their commander.

So the cavalry immediately turned around. Prepare for a quick evacuation, but just as the cavalry is about to leave.

Suddenly, a group of warriors rushed out of the surroundings and quickly surrounded Nalidu and them.

Seeing the soldiers who rushed out, all wearing strange metal armor, Na Li suddenly felt a chill.

Knowing that his judgment was indeed correct, the other party was indeed heavily armoured, but since he had been surrounded, Na Li naturally would not flinch, and immediately shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy." โ€

The cavalry under Nalidu was all well-trained. At the command of Nalidu, the cavalry would react immediately.

Beside Beludi, a mechanical warrior whispered to Belletti, "My lord, it looks like these guys still want to resist. โ€

Beludi looked at the cavalry. Some disdainfully said: "Dare to resist, then let them see our strength, let's do it, remember, Your Highness wants to live." โ€

The mechanical warrior immediately took orders. The next moment, the mechanical warriors unceremoniously attacked, barely giving the cavalry any time to react.

Seeing the heavily armored warriors around him attacking, Na Lidu also hurriedly ordered the cavalry to meet the battle.

But what Nali didn't expect was that. Before the cavalry had formed a battle formation, the other side had already rushed in front of them and crashed directly into the horses on which they were sitting.

A large number of cavalrymen were knocked off their horses and then charged with holding back, without any chance of resisting at all.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the cavalry under his command has been charged nine times out of ten, and the rest are struggling from time to time.

Na Li felt powerless for a while, you must know that he has commanded troops for many years, participated in countless battles of all sizes in the country of Qiuzi, but he has never encountered such an opponent, and he actually defeated the cavalry under his command in one look, and he has always been proud of the cavalry team, and now he is unable to resist at all.

Eventually, Na Lidu was forcibly taken off his horse, restrained by several heavily armored warriors, and escorted to a female general in armor.

Na Lidu raised his head and looked at the other party, and asked with some doubts: "You, who are you?"

Beludi found that she couldn't understand the other party's words, so she simply stopped talking nonsense, and directly led someone to rush to the place where Lucius and them were waiting.

When Lucius saw Na Lidu and saw the other party's wolf bรจi, he was a little surprised, and said to Na Lidu with a smile: "Hehe, friend, we have no malicious intentions, it may be someone under my command, who is too rude to act, please don't be angry." โ€

Na Lidu, who was let go, looked at the man with this warm smile in front of him, and had to say that although the other party may not be very handsome, his face was very friendly, and people could hardly feel the slightest hostility, and even wanted to talk to him.

After the force was released, he bowed to Lucius, and then said in a slightly accented Middle-earth dialect: "Your Excellency, is it a general from the Tang Empire?"

Lecius was a little surprised, looked at Nalidu and asked, "Do you speak Middle-earth?"

Na Li nodded: "Yes, my mother is from Middle-earth, and my mother has taught me a lot of Middle-earth culture since I was a child. โ€

Lucius smiled and said, "Hehe, that's good, it saves a lot of trouble." โ€

At this time, Li Chengxian and others had also heard the news and rushed over, and saw that it was Na Lidu who was arrested.

Li Chengxian suddenly exclaimed: "That Lidu?

Hearing this, Na Li Du turned his head and looked at Li Chengxian, and was shocked: "Li Chengxian, it's really you." โ€

Then, Na Lidu smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the rumors are true, you are indeed a spy planted by the Tang Empire in the Western Regions, and you can borrow troops so quickly." โ€

Lu Xiuston laughed and said, "Hehe, you are mistaken, we are not soldiers of the Tang Empire. โ€

Na Li looked at Lucius with some confusion, and then at Li Chengxian, as if he was not sure whether Lucius's words were credible.

Li Chengxian stepped forward and explained: "However, His Royal Highness Lucius is not from the Tang Dynasty, he is actually from the West, that is, the other side of the sacred sand sea that you say you say. โ€

Na Lidu was taken aback again, looked at Lucius and exclaimed, "You, you are from the far west?"

Seeing that Na Lidu actually knew the West, Lucius was also a little surprised, and then admitted: "Yes, I am from the West, but I did not come from the Sand Sea, but from other places to the East, of course, those are meaningless to you. โ€

After a pause, Lu Xiusi pointed at Li Chengxian and said: "I was entrusted by Li Chengxian to come to your Qiuci country to help him save people, presumably your status in Qiuci country should not be low, and you should directly sell where Li Chengxian's arrested son and daughter are kept, right?"

Na Li gradually recovered from the shock, understood the meaning of Lu Xiusius, glanced at Li Chengxian and said, "I know, but as a native of Qiuzi Country, why should I sue you?"

Lucius was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha, friend, now is not the time to show your backbone, you are not so important to me, if you don't want to say it, then I will have to kill you and all the people under your command." โ€

Under Na Lidu's shocked gaze, Lucius retracted the smile on his face and said fiercely: "Then, I will directly attack the East Turtle City, and after taking that city, I think there will be people willing to cooperate with me." โ€

Na Lidu was speechless, he believed that Lucius had that kind of strength.

Because the squad sent from him was able to deal with the cavalry under his command so quickly.

It is enough to reflect the strength of Lucius, even if it is a large army in the Eastern Turtle City, I am afraid that it may not be able to resist the other party.

And if you don't cooperate, you will be killed, and this result is naturally not what Nali wants.

So Na Li had to bow his head to the other party: "Okay, adults from the West, you have won, I am willing to cooperate with you, but I just ask not to embarrass those soldiers under my command." โ€

Lucius was very satisfied with Na Lidu's answer, and then admitted: "Don't worry, we are only here to save people, and I don't want to kill lightly." โ€

The next thing became simple, and Na Li didn't hesitate to tell the news of Li Chengxian's son and daughter.

What is surprising is that those people are not imprisoned in the capital of the Turtle Kingdom, but in the East Turtle City, but according to what Na Lidu said, those people are heavily guarded, and it may be very dangerous to attack them.

Lucius made a very decisive decision to let Na Lidu take them into the East Turtle City in disguise and launch an attack directly from the city to rescue the hostages. (To be continued......)
