Chapter 704: Sneak Attack at Night
This man does have some ability, he knows where the Uighurs' weakness is, and he directly targets the weakness of the weakness, making it impossible for people to parry. Although Ahmad's teeth itched, he was helpless. In fact, as long as the merchants of the Central Plains burned all the silk, it would have little effect on them, and the Uighurs would no longer have a reason to oppress them.
After the merchants of the Central Plains burned the silk, didn't the Uighurs sell jade to them? But if they sell jade to them and feel that they are making too little money, and there is no silk, it makes no sense for the Central Plains merchants to come to the Uighurs, but ...... You can't help but sell it, after all, this is also an opportunity to make money.
What a ruthless move, so ruthless that Ahmad had no way to take him. Now don't say that the tax is reduced to two taels of silver, even if Xizhou asks the Central Plains merchants to enter the city, they must agree. Because the benefits that these silks can bring to them are too great, they have far exceeded these so-called taxes.
Zong Xin said: "Since everyone has negotiated, it will be easy to do." Tomorrow I will take the Central Plains merchants into the city, and then you don't have to play tricks. ”
"In a word, we Uighur merchants want all the silk here, but we can't sell it to others, do you know?"
Zong Xin nodded and said, "Those merchants who are going back to the Central Plains will definitely not leave a single silk horse behind, but I dare not guarantee the merchants who continue to the west." It's just that...... There are no merchants other than me who continue westward. ”
Ahmad said: "Acceptable, then...... See you tomorrow. ”
"See you tomorrow. ”
The two said goodbye, and Ahmad was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, but he had to be threatened by this man. On their own territory, they were threatened like this by others, and they also brought two thousand troops with them, and they didn't even care. It's infuriating that this kind of thing has never happened......
"I'm,. This group of Central Plains businessmen is too treacherous and too unproductive. Ahmad said, "How can there be such a thing in the world?" They have to give fifty taels, but now they have become five taels, and they are too much, and they only give two taels of silver...... I'm so angry that I really want to kill all these shameless businessmen. ”
Mansur said: "Let's go back and talk about it, I'm also angry, but I can't turn against the merchants of the Central Plains on the surface, otherwise they may really burn all the silk." This is a great loss for us, but for the merchants of the Central Plains, as long as they can get the jade, everything else doesn't matter. ”
"So we're too passive......"
The two returned to Xizhou City, and after telling Alimusa about the matter, they also gritted their teeth angrily, they couldn't imagine that this group of Central Plains people were so ignorant, originally five taels of silver was not the goal of Alimusa, and they actually used this way to suppress the price to two taels of silver.
"Shameless, shameless. Alimusa said angrily: "You don't care about this matter, Mansur, you give me 500 soldiers, and the matter will be done tonight." You don't have to do anything, just wait for the dividends tomorrow. I promise you will not be able to do the same. ”
As soon as Mansur wanted to speak, Ahmad immediately stopped him, and then chuckled: "Yes, you can borrow him 500 soldiers, as for the dividends...... We don't want to, just be careful yourself. ”
"Don't say it's a caravan, even if the army really comes, I'm not afraid, what else to talk about?" Alimusa said: "The matter is decided like this, the time is not early, I will go and prepare first." ”
Alimusa took his leave, and then immediately led his men and horses, and ordered his soldiers to go straight to Hotan Town. In fact, Alimusa had already been prepared, and he knew that this time the talks would not be good, and no matter what the talks were, there would definitely be some distance from his request.
This was the territory of the Uighurs, and a group of merchants from the Central Plains dared to be arrogant here, and a group of troops rushed directly to kill them, regardless of whether they resisted or not. Of course, this kind of thing can't reach the ears of the people of the Central Plains, just when this group of people died on the way, the Silk Road is so dangerous, and no one knows if these people die, can they still give their families dreams?
Five hundred Uighur cavalry, plus three hundred Alimusa's personal guards, a total of 800 men, all of them rode horses and carried machetes and rushed directly towards the town of Khotan. This time, no matter who it is, kill them all anyway, and when it is dawn, they will find a random place to dig a pit and bury them, and they will not know it.
Eight hundred cavalry galloped all the way, and when they were getting closer and closer to the town of Hotan, they suddenly heard a scream and the neighing of horses.
"Ah~~"
"Ah~~"
Alimusa suddenly stopped, for these screams came from the troops behind him. No one knew what was happening, but the screams kept coming, and everyone held the horses steady and told them not to get too nervous. But how can it be so easy for frightened horses, and all the horses begin to be restless.
In the darkness of the night, more than a dozen huge black shadows were walking around, and they couldn't see anything at all, only a black mass. These black shadows suddenly rushed into the crowd, and then the blood was like a blooming flower, and this was just the result of a black shadow, a dozen black shadows shuttled among the horses, and a large group of people disappeared forever without even knowing what was happening.
Countless black shadows shuttled back and forth, harvesting the lives of everyone present. I didn't know where the enemy was, or even what the enemy was, so I watched my own people fall one by one. The army of 800 men was like a feeble baby, powerless to fight back.
"What's going on, what's going on? What the hell is this?"
"Stop~~~!" Suddenly a loud sound tore the night sky apart, and all the horses immediately stopped screaming and furious, and all the black shadows also stopped attacking. The battlefield, which had been chaotic just now, instantly fell silent, so quiet that you could hear the heartbeat of the people around you.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and a young monk in a robe rode a huge white wolf slowly. Behind him appeared eighteen equally large wolves, but their colors were black and brown. Next to this white wolf was a black bull, which was one taller than the white wolf, and it looked even more terrifying.
Zong Xin said softly: "Amitabha, sin and sin. It's just a small test, if you dare to take a step forward, Hugh blames the poor monk for killing the red eye. ”
"You...... What the hell are you?"
"It's just a merchant in the Central Plains, nothing else. Zong Xin said: "The poor monk knew that someone would come to sneak attack, and there were many poor monks like you, so it was not surprising." But I want to warn you, the merchants of the Central Plains are not easy to mess with, don't take our tolerance as your shameless capital. ”
Alimusa shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." How could it be possible to defeat the Uighur army with such a small number of people?"
"Since he doesn't believe it, let him see it. Youyun Eighteen Riders listen to the order and kill me. Zong Xin gave an order, and all the black wolves suddenly disappeared like a cloud of black smoke, followed by countless shadows shuttling through the night.
Alimusa was shocked and immediately shouted: "Retreat, the whole army retreats." ”
couldn't wait any longer, everyone immediately turned their horses and ran in the direction of Xizhou City. At this time, it is to flee for their lives, who cares about the corpses all over the ground, the other party is not a human at all, they are just a group of evil ghosts, they can't see them attacking at all, they are dying here one by one, this situation is too terrifying, this battle has no need to fight at all.
Alimusa was frightened, originally thought that it was a simple massacre, this idea was not wrong, but the object was wrong. It is not they who slaughter others, but who are slaughtered. I never thought that there were such powerful guys in the world, and their mounts were so fast that they couldn't see clearly......
Alimusa led the troops back to his house directly, didn't say anything else at all, and got into the quilt and shivered. Ahmad and Mansur had been waiting on the city walls, knowing what had happened as the group fled back in shock, and that was to be expected.
Mansour asked curiously, "Why did you send these people to their deaths?"
"Actually, I don't want them to die, I just want Alimusa to know how powerful this group of Central Plains people is. Ahmad said: "Actually, I didn't expect them to be so powerful, I originally thought that they were just beating Alimusa back, but I didn't expect to come back so soon, and I was scared like this." I guess they reacted similarly to me, and they ran away when they saw the giant wolves. ”
"It doesn't look like it...... I'll find out if I ask later. Mansur said: "Is this how the matter of the merchants of the Central Plains has been decided? Only two taels of silver will be charged, and the price will not be raised in the future?"
"It's decided...... There is no way. In fact, I was ready to reduce the price for a long time, but I didn't expect to reduce it so much. If it weren't for his increase to fifty taels of silver, more merchants from the Central Plains would have come to the Uighurs to do business. It's fine, anyway, now that such a large caravan is coming to the Uighurs, and more merchants will come in the future, and our purpose is not money at all, but silk and spices, isn't it?"
"That's right. Mansur said helplessly: "But it is indeed a bit too much to drop to two taels of silver, what is the origin of the person who negotiated with us? ”
"Nonsense, you can tell that he is a monk by looking at his dress, how can he be a businessman? I also see that this person is not simple, you go to someone and ask him what his origin is. Didn't there be a few Uighur merchants with this caravan? We let them into the city early, you should know where these people are. You go to them and ask them what is the origin of this group of people, and ask the soldiers who just ran back, what happened, they are so frightened. ”
Mansour said depressedly: "Just send someone to this kind of thing, you let me go as a big general?"
"I trust you the most, of course send someone. Go ahead, I'll roast a sheep, and we'll have a drink later." ”
"Okay, okay. Al-Mansur immediately went to the Uighur merchants to ask them about their origins, and by the way, what had happened to the soldiers who had fled and how they had been frightened like this.
