Chapter 363: Divide the Spoils
"Protect Lord Batuu!" Dalda shouted to the three of Elder Peng.
However, the three of Elder Peng had already surrounded Lord Batu with swords in hand, and they were on guard.
"Let's go, bring the news back! The devil has come! Only the Buddha can destroy them! Let our people kill all these devils under the leadership of the Buddha!" the white-bearded old man instructed one of his cronies beside him.
The white-bearded old man used his majestic eyes to stop the rebuttal that his cronies were about to blurt out, and after taking a deep look at both the enemy and us, he gritted his teeth and ran towards the low grass beside the roadside, and surprisingly, although it was thin and small, it was extremely flexible, and it disappeared from everyone's eyes in a few flashes.
The Mongolian soldiers who roared and killed did not know whether they did not notice or did not care, in short, no one stopped or pursued, and the cronie escaped easily.
Elder Peng had seen that person's escape from a distance, but it was too late to be happy, how could he remind him!
It was a fierce bloody battle, with fierce Mongol cavalry, fanatical Tibetan believers, and the two sides fought together without saying a word of nonsense.
The men in white fell one by one, but they did not flinch in the slightest, and their eyes spewed with anger and determination, as if what they were about to face was not death, but transcendence from the Western Elysium.
With the support of this fanatical belief, the combat effectiveness of the men in white increased by a few percent out of thin air, and they also brought huge losses to the Mongol soldiers regardless of their own casualties.
What's more, there are really a few hard stubbles among this group of white-clothed people, and the eight big men who carried the Buddha statue before were the most difficult of them, killing several Mongolian soldiers alive, and then Dalda, Dakshen, Sukhbamon, Arilans and Iled joined forces to resist them, and they were killed one by one after entangled for a long time.
When the casualties were counted after all the men in white were killed, Batu and Dorda and the others were surprised to find out. Now there were less than twenty men left in their team who had maintained their full combat effectiveness, and there were a dozen or so seriously wounded, and the others were all killed in battle.
"Damn! We suffered so much damage from two skirmishes!" Dalda couldn't accept the reality in front of him, screaming like a lone wolf.
"General! These crazy believers can't be guessed by common sense, who would have thought that they would be so crazy! They can burst out with amazing lethality even if they are seriously injured! Several brothers have cut each other to serious injuries, either missing arms or short legs. Some even got stabbed directly in the chest. ”
Dakshen's body shook slightly unconsciously when he said this, and continued to narrate: "Originally, under such a serious injury, he should have waited for death, so the brothers relaxed their vigilance, or shifted their targets, who knew that they were like they were injured at all, and their severed hands and feet were unconscious, and they rushed towards the brothers frantically!
"Crazy! All of them are crazy! So many of our brothers died here! Today's matter can't just be settled like this!" The Guards are all the most trusted and close Mongolian soldiers to Dorda, and they are his most solid and reliable team.
However, it has only been long since he sent an envoy to Tibet, and the dozens of people he brought out have already been killed and injured. How can this not make Dalda grieve and anger!
"Hang all these corpses from a tree and whip them, and the Buddha statue, and smash them to a pulp!" Dorda roared with fiery eyes.
The surviving Mongolian soldiers, who were also angry, rushed to receive their orders, and more than 50 white-clothed people, regardless of whether their bodies were still intact or not, all hung themselves from trees on the side of the road, and were constantly whipped with horsewhips, venting their anger in their hearts, especially the white-bearded old man and the eight strong men, who were beaten beyond recognition.
In the end, they smashed the tall Buddha statue before they would stop, but after smashing the Buddha statue, they made a surprising discovery.
"General, the Buddha statue has a large amount of gold, silver and jewels in its belly!" Dakshen came to report overjoyed. Hearing this, Dalda's eyes lit up, and he urged the horse to take a closer look at the Buddha statue that had broken into pieces, revealing the treasure in his belly. I was also surprised!
He didn't expect such a Buddha statue to contain so many treasures, including several small pure gold Buddha statues with exquisite work, and more pieces of gold cakes and gold bricks, as well as dazzling pearls, agate, glass, clams, corals and other rare treasures.
"Good! good!" Dorda looked at the treasure worth 10,000 gold in front of him, and suddenly he was in a good mood, and immediately forgot about Fang Cai's unhappiness. After shouting three times in a row, he laughed, "Yes! It's not in vain! Dakshen, put away all these treasures!"
"Yes!" Darkshin was very skilled in this work, and beckoned a few of his own soldiers to begin to collect treasures and make a book. It was done in a few moments.
"Well, according to the old rules, I will give the brothers some money!" Dalda waved his hand very happily, and Dakshen hurriedly waited for the brothers to thank Dalda for the reward, in fact, every time Dalda got the stolen goods to his subordinates, it was only a drop in the bucket.
"Hmm...... Dakshen, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties this time, let's give them more! Especially the brothers who have died in battle!" Dalda pondered for a moment and added.
The news spread immediately, and the surviving soldiers excitedly thanked Dalda for his generous reward.
"Lord Batu, naturally I won't lose your share, and I will give you both hands when I return!" In line with the principle that those who see it have a share, Dalda naturally will not forget that Lord Batu is still on the side.
"Haha! General Dorda is polite! Then it is better to be respectful than to obey!" Batu laughed heartily.
After Dorda promised the benefits of Arilans, Sukhbamon, Ilad, Elder Peng, Jiang Baishou, and Gong Qiang, he reorganized his men and continued on the road.
The three of them naturally would not refuse, and Elder Peng, Jiang Baishou and Gong Qiang, except for the three of them who had taken action to solve a few white-clothed people who rushed to Batu's side during the battle, had always been cold bystanders, and seeing this scene, Elder Peng could not do anything special, so he naturally showed a look of greed and joy and accepted the big benefits after repeatedly thanking them.
Elder Peng smiled at the generosity of General Dalda, who was praised by Elder Peng, but he sneered in his heart: "Go crazy! You all go crazy! If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy!"
"General Dalda, now that we have suffered heavy losses, and we are carrying so much belongings, will there be any danger in continuing on!" Batu could not help but ask.
"Lord Batu don't have to worry, you also know that I ordered another team of 100 people to be transferred before, but how do you know that General Kuduan, after learning that the Tibetan tribes have become so arrogant now, in order to ensure that this mission can be successfully completed, he specially sent three teams of 100 people to escort him. We've already received the news, and in two or three days, the follow-up people will be able to catch up with us!, so don't worry at all!" said Dorda, unconcerned.
"That's good! That's good!" Batu still felt uneasy, but he was too embarrassed to say anything, so that he would appear too timid and incompetent, and the weakness of cowardice was absolutely not allowed to appear to the officials of the Mongol Empire......!
