Chapter 486: The Golden Mountain Wolves
Chapter 486: Golden Mountain Wolf Group
The beacon smoke from Sabize soared into the sky, and the three beacon towers from Sabize to Qiemo City also ignited the beacon smoke one after another. At the same time, carrier pigeons soared in the sky, spreading the news that the Tubo army was about to attack Anxi all over Anxi.
Qiemo City is a guard city of the Tang army, which belongs to the Tianjun Town. In addition, the Tang army garrisons in various surrounding small towns, there were about 2,000 people. With the troops and horse envoys of the four towns of Anxi, He Lou Yurun, the Anxi brigade arrived at Qiemo City, the number of troops had increased to 7,000, and the defense was greatly strengthened.
Since Qiemo City was the first big city to attack Anxi by the Tubo army, Qiemo City had been repaired several times, especially after the Battle of Sabize three years ago, Li Qing'an ordered the overhaul of Qiemo City, the city walls were raised and reinforced, and a moat of three meters wide and two meters deep was dug outside the city, making Qiemo City like an iron barrel.
At this moment, General Helou Yurun stood on the city wall and stared at the direction of Sabize. Tension news came from Sabize. The Tang army patrols discovered a total of 30,000 Tubo troops, and was advancing towards Sabize. Helou Yurun was very worried. Whether Sabi City could withstand the impact of 30,000 Tubo troops would definitely not work. There is no doubt that Sabi City was not very strong. Even if it was strong, the number of people defending the city was too small and could not resist the attack of the Tubo army. It seemed that he could only give up Sabi City and concentrate his troops against the Tubo army.
In addition to Sabi City, Helou Yurun was even more worried about the severity of the Tubo army's attack on Anxi this time. They attacked Anxi in large numbers. Are there still a continuous army behind them? It was just a tentative attack. Where is their real target? Is it Shazhou, Anxi, or Tocharo? It is difficult for him to make an accurate judgment. This is the advantage of the Tubo people. They can attack from the plateau down and randomly from all directions, but the Tang army is difficult for them to step onto the plateau to attack their nests, but no matter what, he has to deal with the 30,000 Tubo troops in front of him first.
"Send my order!"
Helou Yurun finally made a decision, "Let the Tang army in Sapi City destroy the city, and the entire army will return to Qiemo City immediately!"

"Boom!" A loud noise came from Sapi City. A grain warehouse in the city collapsed. More than a hundred cavalry quickly rushed out of the city. The fire was burning behind them. More than a thousand Tang soldiers outside the city had put more than a hundred thick ropes on the city wall. When the cavalry in the city rushed out, more than a thousand people began to pull the west city wall, which had been demolished and was shaking, and finally fell down with a bang. The guard of Sapi City was called Luo Shengjun, a Lang general. Seeing that the Tang army and supplies had withdrawn from Sapi City, he immediately ordered: "The entire army immediately retreated to Qiemo City."
At this time, a captain stepped forward to report: "General Luo, Lin Mu's team from the Second Patrol team and twenty brothers have not returned yet, should we wait for them?"
Luo Shengjun immediately shook his head and said, "The 30,000 Tubo army has reached 30 miles away. No more waiting. You can send someone to inform them and return to Qiemo City directly."
Seeing that everyone was ready, he waved his hand and ordered: "Go!"
More than a thousand Tang troops turned their horses and rushed towards the northwest, gradually disappearing at the end of the grassland.
Not long after the Tang army left Sapi City, a black line appeared on the edge of the forest in the south. As the black line got closer, the sound of horse hooves like thunder came. The black line gradually turned into a covered black carpet, and 30,000 Tubo troops arrived at Sapi City.
The Tubo general Shang Jiasu seemed a little worried. He had just received the order from Shang Xi Dongzan, ordering him to take down the Shule army of the Tang army within 20 days. The order was given to him, but the army did not increase. If it was just to attack one city and one town, there would be no problem. However, it would be a bit difficult for 30,000 troops to capture the three important towns of Qiemo, Yutian and Shule. Shang Jiasu also saw Shang Xi Dongzan's selfishness from this.
Originally, Zamp meant to let him fight Tochar because he was very familiar with Bolu, and Shangxi Dongzan came to fight Anxi. First, he had a large number of troops. Secondly, he retreated from Anxi three years ago, but now he is the opposite. Shangxi Dongzan uses the power of the main general and orders himself to lead his subordinates to attack the difficult-to-get important Tang army towns and restrain the main force of the Tang army. However, Shangxi Dongzan leads a large army to attack Tochar, where the Tang army has empty troops.
Shang Jiasu was depressed, but helpless. At this time, a follower said, "General, the Tang army seems to have given up Sapi City."
Shang Jiasu put on the curtain and looked towards Sapi City. He saw a pillar of black smoke rising from Xiang Sapi City and heading straight into the sky. Shang Jiasu urged his horse to run and rushed to the city after a moment. He saw that the city wall had collapsed and the city gates were also destroyed. The city was burning with raging fire. The military camps, houses and various facilities in the city were burned. The entire city had no value for use.
"General, why don't we move the logistics here!" an officer suggested.
Shang Jiasu pondered for a moment, but still shook his head. At present, his logistics herders are in the area of Ulan Lake, about two hundred miles away. If they move to Sabize, they will easily be attacked by the Tang army. Three years ago, Shangxi Dongzan was defeated because his logistics was taken over by the Tang army.
"Don't worry about Sabize, turn around and march towards Qiemo City immediately!"

Just as the Tubo army vanguard marched towards Qiemo City, a Uighur cavalry composed of 30,000 people had crossed Jinshan and suddenly rushed to the Xuanchi area of the Gelulu people's nest. The Uighur cavalry was led by the right killing general He Modagan. The Uighur people's initial strategy was to attack Beiting, but at this time, the Gelulu army, Shatuo army and Tonglu army had retreated to Beiting. He Modagan changed his strategy and bypassed Jinshan from the north and raided the Gelulu people's nest. He planned to pass through Duotan Ridge, go south along the Yibo Sea, and finally hit the Anxi Army's base camp Suye City.
This was an agreement reached by the Tubo special envoy Jisang Jiagong from Uighurs and Gele Khan a few months ago. The two sides formed a strategic alliance to jointly deal with the Tang Dynasty. They agreed to hunt Anxi when the autumn was high and the horses were fat. According to the agreement reached by the two countries, this time the Tubo army sent 200,000 troops to attack Longyou and Anxi, while the Uighurs sent 50,000 troops to attack Beiting. However, after Gele Khan discussed with his ministers, in order to prevent the Tang army from attacking Fuguicheng, they decided to reduce 20,000 cavalry and instead attack Beiting with 30,000 troops to cooperate with the Tubo army's northward journey.
The Xuanchi area is full of tents of the Gelulu people. The grasslands are vast and the grass is rich, which is the best place for grazing. But it is late autumn, and the grasslands on the grasslands have gradually become yellow and the north wind blows. In another month, the first snow will sweep across the Jinshan Mountains. The herdsmen have all returned sheep and horses to the pen. In spring, they have dried the tender grass into dry grass, just to spend the winter for cattle and sheep.
The morning sun was particularly warm. Today was unexpectedly windless. A camp consisting of thousands of large tents was very lively. The smoke from the tents of the tents was like a slender and tall birch tree, rushing straight into the sky. The warm sunshine shone between the tents, women were squeezing sheep's milk, and groups of children rode pony among the tents and played the game of the tents. The cheerful laughter echoed between the tents.
In the chief's magnificent tent, Mouth Heishan sat at the small table, squinted his eyes and looked at the three newly married young wives who cooked goat milk tea for him. His three new wives were all beautiful and cute. The oldest was only eighteen years old, the youngest was sixteen years old, and the youngest was only three days old. She had not yet gotten rid of her childishness. She had just received the rain and dew, and she looked extremely shy under the gaze of Mouth Heishan.
Since the Gelulu people completely attached to Anxi, their supplies began to become rich. They no longer had to sell cattle and sheep for food and tea. As their reward for sending troops, Anxi will give them 200,000 stones of grain and 30,000 tantares of tea every year, leaving their cattle and sheep for themselves to enjoy. In addition, their warriors in the Eastern Expedition will continue to send fur, women and other wealth plundered from the Uighurs back to their nests.
As the supplies were abundant, the lives of the Gelulu people became lazy and extravagant. At this time in previous years, the Gelulu people were still grazing on the grassland, asking the cattle and sheep to chew the autumn grass again, and they would not return to the camp until at least three or four days before it snowed. Now, it was only one month before it snowed, so they no longer had the heart to grazed. They started raising cattle and sheep early and started to give themselves winter vacations. Almost every household had female slaves stolen from the Uighurs, and the Gelu people began to enjoy the life of their slave owners.
In the past, in winter, young warriors were fighting and practicing near the big tent, but now they are deserted. The men's swords and leather armor were taken off the walls and replaced with beautiful fur. The bows and arrows were thrown into the corners, covered with dust.
The chieftain got three tents full of wealth from the Great Chief, and there were more than twenty female slaves, but the three women who became his wife were all the noble daughters snatched from the Uighurs, and they were beautiful. One of them was the concubine of Gelekhan. Heishan was hoping that they would give birth to a few more sons for him.
The youngest wife is Duoyunnu, the daughter of Yanzhijialu, the prime minister of Uighurs. She picked up the golden milk pot, knelt in front of Moutsheheishan, and poured him a cup of milk tea. She was a very beautiful girl. She was petite and delicate, fair skin, and under her long eyelashes were a pair of childish eyes. She was delicate, almost like a flower and jade, and her expression was extremely charming.
It can be seen that Moutachi Heishan also likes this youngest wife very much. He reached out and pinched her delicate face and smiled: "Didn't you say you wanted a separate tent last night? Yes, you will have it tonight. I'll sleep with you at night. Remember, you must serve me well."
"yes!"
Duoyunnu held the milk tea with both hands and raised it high above his head, "Chief, please drink milk tea!" Her tone was very humble, but when she lowered her head, a hatred glance flashed in her eyes. She tried to stab Heishan to take the milk tea, but the short handle of the knife around his waist was exposed. Duoyunnu stared at the handle of the knife tightly, and his chest began to fluctuate violently.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing her hands trembling, Moushu Heishan asked strangely. At this moment, the milk pot on the table vibrated slightly. When the lid of the pot kept ringing, the other two wives stood up in panic. Not knowing what happened. Moushu Heishan was experienced and immediately realized something was wrong. It should be that the horse's hooves were shaking, and a large group of horses rushed over.
At this moment, a riot suddenly came from outside. Someone shouted loudly and panicked. Moushu Heishan stood up and strode to the door. Seeing thousands of tribesmen running around outside, many of them had already boarded their horses and fled to the south, and they couldn't care about property and cattle and sheep. He shouted sternly: "What happened?"
"Chief, look over there!"
A herder pointed to the north and was about to stab Black Mountain and looked north. He was so scared that he was out of his mind. On the grassland several miles away in the north, a black cavalry was coming here. Countless large flags with wolf heads embroidered in the air, and the sky was also covered by flags, just like when sandstorms arrived. In front of the cavalry, hundreds of herders of Geluo were fleeing in a hurry, but they were soon swallowed up by the cavalry group and disappeared without a trace.
Moutas Heishan stood there for a while, and suddenly he screamed, turned around and ran away. There was a horse next to his tent. Moutas Heishan untied the reins and turned over the horse. At this time, the Duoyun slave ran out of the tent, spread his arms and shouted, "Chief, please bring me with you!"
He tried to stab the Black Mountain Love to destroy this 16-year-old wife. He immediately reached out to her, "Get on the horse!"
The Uighurs were proficient in riding, both men and women. Duoyunnu turned over the horse and sat in front of him, hugged his waist tightly with his hands, and thrust Heishan around the horse's head and shouted, "Sit down, I'm going to leave..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly shook his whole body and lowered his head incredibly. He saw a dagger penetrated deep into his waist, and the dagger was held in the hand of his little wife, Duoyunnu. Duoyunnu pulled out the dagger and shouted, "Go to die!"
She inserted the dagger into his chest and pierced his heart. At the moment when Maishan was killed, he heard the last vicious words from Doyunnu.
"I tell you, I am not the daughter of the prime minister, I am the daughter of the Uighur Khan. If you defiled my innocence, I want you, the people of Gelu to pay a thousand times the price."

Thirty thousand Uighur cavalry swept over like a storm. They cut off tents, killed men and children, and plundered women. Screams and cries were everywhere, blood flowed into a river and corpses were everywhere. At this time, a young woman ran over, holding a head high in her hand and shouted: "I am the Uighur princess Duoyun slave, and the chief of the Geluo people has been killed by me!"
He Modagan ran forward. He recognized Duoyunnu and shouted in surprise and joy: "Princess, aren't you dead yet?"
Duoyunnu was full of hatred, and she shouted hysterically: "I am not dead yet, but I have been defiled by the Geluo people. I want you to kill all the Geluo people, and even babies will not be spared!"
"Abide by the order!"
He Modagan issued an order to kill without mercy, and the Uighur cavalry immediately divided into fifty teams, with Xuanchi as the center, and killed in all directions. This time, the people of Geluo encountered an unprecedented disaster.
