Chapter 297 There is a crawling cloud on the ground

It has been more than two months since the Turks invaded, and it has been almost a month since Yanmen Pass was besieged.

There was no wind in the air, and the flags with the Chinese character Tang on the top of Yanmenguan City in Daizhou hung down listlessly, just like the soldiers of the Tang Army who were currently on guard at the top of the city.

A month of continuous fighting has inevitably caused these soldiers to show their fatigue.

Looking down from the top of the city of Yanmenguan, there are now a lot of messy white domes at the foot of the originally beautiful mountain, just like the savage growth of dog urine moss that appears under the trees after the rain. There are clusters in the east and clusters in the west.

It was chaotic. The Turks wearing leather robes and carrying weapons shuttled back and forth between the domes, like ants running among the mushrooms.

Faintly, you can still hear the singing of the grassland coming from these domes.

"Chilechuan, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields..."

Liu Shirang stood on the tower of Yanmen Pass with his hands behind his back, observing the Turks in front of him with a worried look on his face.

He was not worried that these barbaric Tartars could capture Yanmen. In fact, for this group of guys who only rode horses and roared and screamed, and had no discipline, they might rob those who had no ability to resist.

Villages and towns are good at it, but trying to capture Yanmen, which is known as "the unparalleled place with three passes and the first pass with respect to nine fortresses", is simply a fool's errand...

Especially now that the guard of Yanmen is Liu Shirang!

A month ago, Turk Jieli Khan led his men to surround Yanmen and attacked it continuously for more than ten days. But in the end, he could only leave some of his troops to continue the siege, and he led his troops in despair

The cronies left Yanmen and went to plunder Hongzhou.

Liu Shirang was not worried at all about the battle, he was worried about another issue.

The food at Yanmen Pass is already somewhat insufficient. Even if they save some food, it will only be enough for about ten days. If there is no news of reinforcements or supplies within this period, they will run out of food.

"Does it mean that we can only go out of Guancheng, catch the Turks by surprise, and steal a vote from them?"

Liu Shirang looked at the Turkic camp below, thinking over and over in his mind.

"Sneak attacks on the Turkic camps in the west seem to be easier to succeed, and the losses will be small, but most of their equipment is in the middle camp. If they capture the middle camp, they should be able to grab a lot of supplies, but the losses will be huge..."

"General!"

Just when Liu Shirang was looking at the Turkic camp in a trance, thinking about how to steal a vote from the Turks, suddenly the strange voice of the sentry came from the observation deck of the city tower.

"A cloud is coming from the south!"

"What's weird about the clouds coming from the south..."

Liu Shirang, whose train of thought was interrupted, shouted angrily.

"You have to keep an eye on the Turks' movements, general. Don't worry about the clouds."

"but……"

The sentry on the observation deck said in an aggrieved voice.

"That cloud is floating close to the ground!"

"What?"

After hearing the sentry's voice, Liu Shirang suddenly felt unbelievable.

"Where are the clouds floating close to the ground?"

"Look..."

Liu Shirang looked in the direction of the sentinel's finger, and really found a large group of snow-white clouds just sticking to the ground, floating towards Yanmen Pass.

He blinked his eyes blankly, and then rubbed them with his hands.

That’s right, it’s not that he is blind!

"What is happening?"

Just when Liu Shi asked the Yanmen defenders to discover the clouds, the Turks in front of Yanmen Pass also discovered the huge clouds floating close to the ground in front of them.

Different from the condescending angle Liu Shi asked them to stand on the Yanmenguan city wall, to these Turks, this cloud was a long, long behemoth five to six meters high and several thousand meters long.

Amid the uproar of the Turks, the clouds drifted to and stopped in front of their camp.

Looking from the direction of the Turks' camp, it looked like a huge marshmallow was blocked in front of the south gate of their camp. As long as they took two or three steps out of the south gate, they would crash into the clouds.

This strange situation immediately plunged the Turks, who originally believed in all kinds of strange powers and gods, into chaos. Looking down from the top of Yanmen Pass, Liu Shirang could clearly see that many Turks seemed to be headless in the camp.

They were scurrying around like flies, and there were even a large number of people in the middle who knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the clouds.

It didn't take long for this chaos to alarm the top Turks. A Turkic nobleman wearing armor walked out of a gorgeously decorated dome. He shouted at the panicked Turks around him, and even whipped him with a whip...

Although the distance was too far and Liu Shirang couldn't hear what he was saying, it was obvious that whether he spoke or used the whip, he had little effect.

Facing Yun Duo, who was completely confused about the situation, the herdsmen in leather robes would rather be scolded or whipped than kneel on the ground and kowtow devoutly to Yun Duo.

In the end, he seemed to have no choice but to call his personal guards, and then pointed towards the clouds with his riding crop.

A few minutes later, a group of fully armed Turkic cavalry raised their bows, shouted and shouted, and rushed into the marshmallow-like clouds without hesitation.

Five minutes have passed, ten minutes have passed, fifteen minutes have passed...

These Turkic cavalry seemed to have disappeared into the sea, and there was no trace at all. Only the huge cloud was still blocking the gate of the camp, and it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the top of the cloud seemed to be more than one meter high.

"Ye Hu, this can't continue..."

The Turkic noble who lost a team of personal guards said with a worried look to a gorgeously dressed Turkic noble who had just arrived.

"We have to let the shamans do something, otherwise our troops will have no intention of fighting. What if the Tang people in Yanmen take the opportunity to make a sneak attack?"

"Um!"

After seeing the huge cloud in front of him, the Turkic Yehu nodded, approved the other party's suggestion, and then turned to look at the old man next to him wearing a leather robe and with eagle feathers on his head.

"Great Shaman Sunonghuli, please take action to disperse the clouds and mist."

"Do not worry!"

The old man looked at the huge cloud in front of him and nodded proudly.

"There is no magic power in this cloud. It should not be caused by practitioners, but generated naturally. So as long as I borrow the power of the gods and blow a strong wind, I can disperse it."

"yes!"

After hearing the words of the great shaman Sunonghuli, the Turkic Yehu bowed his head piously towards the great shaman.

"Please ask the great shaman to use his magic power!"

"good!"

Sunong, the great shaman with eagle feathers on his head, suddenly agreed and led several of his disciples out of the crowd to the front of the camp, asking his disciples to spread out and stand around him.

.

After everything was ready, the great shaman Sunong suddenly raised his hands and began to tremble violently as if going crazy. Then the disciples around him also began to twist their bodies, jumping and dancing as if dancing.

Call.

"Alasso..."

As the Great Shaman began to dance the Great God, the Turkic herdsmen who were kneeling on the ground all around also cast their reverential gazes in the direction of the Great Shaman. They changed the direction of their kneeling and began to face the Great Shaman.

Kowtow repeatedly.

Liu Shirang looked down at the Turks who were focusing their attention on the clouds, and an idea came to his mind uncontrollably.

Now seems like a good time to grab a vote from these Turks!

"Excuse me, are you General Liu Shirang, Duke of Hongnong County?"

Just when Liu Shirang began to think seriously about where he should rush in and how to retreat if he took this opportunity to rob, a clear voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

He turned his head in astonishment, only to find a handsome little Taoist priest in white robes standing in the air outside the Yanmenguan city tower. His big sleeves were fluttering and his feet were tiptoeing into the void, as if a true immortal had come to the world.

After seeing him turn around, the handsome little Taoist priest smiled and nodded towards him.

"May I ask if you are General Liu Shirang, Duke of Hongnong County?"

"It's Liu!"

Liu Shirang agreed, and then asked in a tentative tone.

"May I ask who the immortal is?"

"The poor Taoist Taishi Bureau Supervisor Hou Qingweizi..."

The Taoist priest in white raised his hand and saluted Liu Shirang's head.

"On the order of Princess Pingyang, come here to contact Duke Liu and defeat the Turks together."

With that said, the Taoist priest in white took out half of the tiger talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Shirang.

"This is the Tiger Talisman Order that Her Royal Highness asked Pindao to bring you."

Liu Shirang did not dare to neglect, took the tiger talisman with both hands, and then took out the other half of the tiger talisman from his body to verify it, and was immediately overjoyed.

"May I ask the Immortal Chief, where is the princess's army?"

"The princess's army is now at Yanmen Pass..."

The Taoist priest in white pointed at the ball of marshmallows lying on the ground and said calmly.

"No, it's inside that cloud."

After hearing these words from the Taoist priest in white, Liu Shirang was immediately stunned.

He had no idea that the bustling cloud he had been watching here for a long time was actually the reinforcements he had been waiting for.

"Sanniangzi asked Pindao to inform the county prince, saying that she would repair it for half an hour before starting to drive away the clouds and attack. I hope you can seize the opportunity to attack from Yanmen and directly annihilate all the Turks staying in Daizhou."

"yes!"

Liu Shirang handed over his hand with confidence.

"Liu Shirang respectfully obeys Princess Pingyang's order!"

After seeing Liu Shirang agreeing, the Taoist priest in white nodded and was about to say something else. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up and blew towards the huge cloud from the Turkic camp, stirring up a wave of waves on the surface of the cloud.

Layers of waves.

"Chief Immortal, this..."

After seeing the strong wind appear, Liu Shirang suddenly became a little uneasy.

"Can the princess's cloud withstand this strong wind?"

"rest assured!"

The Taoist priest in white waved his sleeves and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"He's just a shaman. Duke Liu just needs to organize his team and prepare for the attack."

Then, Liu Shirang saw the Taoist priest in white flip his wrist and pull out a strange-shaped short knife from the void. Then with a wave of his hand, the whole person disappeared without a trace.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After seeing this magical scene, Liu Shirang burst out laughing, and the worries in his heart seemed to be swept away.

"Captain Zhang, go gather the troops and let us give these Turks some color." (To be continued)
