Chapter 4: Qiancheng (three blows) Under the light of the fire, the blood drops falling from the tip of Khan's knife from beginning to end are particularly charming. "Whoops, whoops, whoops!" Ashina Queyu held his own throat and widened his eyes.
He couldn't believe that Shibi Khan actually killed him without any reason. He had no soldiers, no territory, and no threat to the Great Khan... Before his eyes broke, he saw Ashina.
The two brothers Li Fu and Ashina looked at each other with equally surprised eyes. Their hearts relaxed and they fell on their backs on the river beach.
Those who were surprised were far more than just the two brothers Zilifu and Dubisi. The faces of other Turkic nobles also turned pale in an instant. According to seniority, Ashina Queyu was the biological uncle of Shibi Khan. Although among the Ashina family, for
It is not uncommon for fathers and sons to turn against each other in the fight for the throne of the Khan. But this only happens when the two sides are evenly matched and one side poses a great threat to the other. An elder like Queyu who has neither strength nor a submissive attitude towards the Khan, begins and ends.
Khan should show him the most basic respect!
It was not because of sympathy for Queyu's experience, but because Shibi's actions violated the most basic rules. These rules involved the safety of everyone, so everyone couldn't help but feel frightened. After a blink of an eye, the shock on the faces of the nobles turned into anger, and then they spoke out.
made a noise
"Great Khan, what crime did Queyu Melu commit? Do you have to deal with him personally?" The first person to come out to ask questions was Ashina Mohe. In the family, he has the same seniority as Queyu, so it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad.
Shibi Khan didn't want to answer Mohe's words. Like Queyu, Mohe also lost his territory and tribe in the invisible battle of the family. The reason why the Ashina family raised him was because they hoped to learn from the experience of these old wolves, but not
Leaving him to question the majesty of the Great Khan
"Great Khan, even if Queyu has committed an unforgivable crime, you should hand him over to the clan for joint trial. How can you draw a sword at the first disagreement?" Seeing Shibi's contempt for Mohe, Ashina Wuyila
, Ashnaya’s barbarians also came up to question him.
Ashina Yihe, Ashina Deyun, Ashina Jiaba, all gathered around one after another, holding the hilt of the knife in their palms. They were all direct subordinates of Shi Bi, but at this moment they stood in front of Shi Bi.
Wolves also have their own rules. When an old wolf surrenders to the wolf king and exposes his defenseless belly, no matter how ferocious the wolf king is, he cannot show his teeth like the old wolf. Otherwise, he will face the pack of wolves.
anger
"He betrayed the whereabouts of our retreat to the enemy!" Seeing the angry crowd, Shibi Khan also regretted that he had not considered it before wielding the sword, but the matter was now over, and it was difficult to recover, so he could only grit his teeth and bear "Twenty thousand
Many brothers are dead because Queyu coveted the Han people's property and told the other party their course of action! I won't be able to explain to my brothers unless I kill him!"
At this time, Shibi Khan knew that he could no longer involve Ashina Gutuoru, otherwise it would only make his actions look more and more like making excuses to exclude his fellow tribesmen. However, the crime of Ashina Koyu's liaison with the enemy obviously could not be punished.
Everyone was convinced, including Ashina Qilifu. This heartless guy actually protested smoothly: "But Uncle Queyu has already sworn a thunderous oath to the Changshengtian. Did the Great Khan wrong him?"
There are relatively few trees on the grassland, so every year when storms come, there will always be livestock or people struck by lightning. The herdsmen can't explain the reason, so they all think that being struck by lightning is a punishment sent by the immortal sky. Over time, the oath of thunder became
To the royal family and to ordinary shepherds, Ashina Choyu just swore that if he ever betrayed the Great Khan, he would be struck by lightning. In the eyes of many nobles, this was tantamount to proving his innocence.
There are ten thousand reasons why committing a crime even though you know the other person is innocent is unacceptable.
"It's going to be winter soon, how can there be thunder! By next spring, I will have been killed by his conspiracy!" Shibi glared hard at his idiot brother and shouted angrily
Strange to say, the moment he finished speaking, there was a faint sound of thunder along the river. It was not clear, but from far to near, mixed with the night wind, shaking the water waves in the distance.
Trembling slightly
"Mount the horse!" Ashina yelled at the top of his lungs. This time, his cleverness was definitely put to good use. The sound was not thunder, but the sound of thousands of horses galloping. Along the river, there was a large number of cavalry.
Rush over quickly
"Get on the horse, form the team, form the team!" The big and small special agents, the Burkes no longer bothered to argue with Shibi Khan about whether Queyu should die, and shouted wildly and jumped on their mounts. Their movements were obviously slower than usual, their legs and their whole body
My back doesn't seem to belong to me, it's so sore that I can't use any strength.
"Woo-wu-wu-wu!" The horn sound was like the cry of a lone wolf, suddenly ringing by the river, and the sound was full of despair.
Many Turkic soldiers were still squatting by the water to clean the scorch marks on their bodies. Some were sitting on the ground, breathing heavily. Suddenly they heard the horn sound coming from beside the Khan. Many people instinctively moved their bodies to stand up, and immediately felt
My eyes are turning black and the world is spinning
"Poisonous!" Countless Turkic warriors shouted, "The Han people have poisoned the water!" Some people ignored the sound of horns blasting in their ears, squatted on the ground with their fingers on their throats, and spit out the poison in the river water.
The wind was poisonous, and the trees and dry weeds around them were poisonous. In an instant, the warriors were panicked and became a mess.
Panic is more deadly than poison. Just when the warriors were at a loss, arrows were shot from the night sky. The arrows were filled with starlight, like countless unwilling souls. After the starlight shattered, screams suddenly arose from the outermost parts of the crowd.
The tribal warriors fell down like crops beaten by hail, and their blood flowed into rivers.
"The old poisonous snake's advice is right, you shouldn't rest!" Shibi Khan suddenly began to regret poisoning in such a wide and fast-flowing river. How many carts of poison should be prepared? No one was poisoned, and everyone was dizzy and weak.
The reason was that he ran too fast before and stopped too suddenly. However, he could not pass on his analysis to the entire army. The warriors were in chaos. There were no more orders in their eyes, no more sweating, no more
Then have the dignity of a wolf son and wolf grandson
At this moment, they just want to live and use all means to survive. The generals and nobles who have jumped on the war horses ignore the anger of Shibi Khan and use whips to whip their mounts. The soldiers who have no strength to get on the horses are pulling the reins of the animals and stumbling.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves and arrows coming from the north come from the south. Therefore, the only way to escape is to go north!
"Woo-wu-wu-wu-wu!" Shibi Khan finally heard the enemy's horn sound, like a dragon's roar and a tiger's roar, penetrating all the darkness not only due south, southwest, due west, northwest, except in the direction of the river
Along the river to the north, the sound of attacking horns was heard from all other directions. Some were majestic, some high-pitched, some long and powerful, some short and intense. In the dark night, I don’t know how many people were attacking the Turkic warriors.
Attack, even the distant mountains under the starlight and the river at our feet seemed to be moving, turning into a torrent of anger, joining this battle of revenge.
Shibi Khan knew that the situation was over. Under this situation, he would not have another chance to organize the warriors. After being carried onto the mount by the guards, he also joined the team of fugitives.
Not as good as the honor of the family and the dignity of the Great Khan
A sentry cavalry came from the flank, running and releasing arrows. People kept falling off their horses in the darkness. In this passive beating situation, the Turks suffered extremely heavy casualties. Many herdsmen were not shot to death by the opponent, but accidentally injured.
The mount fell to the ground and was trampled to death by his own people who rushed from behind. However, the warrior on the horse did not dare to fight. He just followed Shibi Khan and ran away.
At the beginning, Khan felt that his mouth was dry and he had difficulty breathing. Not many of the guards around him fell off their horses, but every few breaths, a cold arrow would suddenly come. The moment he knocked one of them down, he felt like
A helpless silly roe deer, while the opponent is a group of extremely experienced wolves. They use the cover of darkness to pounce on one of them, kill one of them, and then retreat into the darkness to wait for the next opportunity.
Wails and groans came one after another behind him, but he didn't dare to look back at all. Under the protection of tens of thousands of warriors, he was the great Khan of the Turks. Without the protection of the army, he was nothing. Another group of cavalry leaned over, revealing
"Teeth", Shibi shouted for help. A dozen loyal and brave guards stepped forward to block the opponent's path. The visitor first fired arrows, then hid his bow and swung his sword cleanly, killing more than a dozen guards in an instant.
shot down from horse
The guards bought time for Shibi with their lives. He whipped his mount twice and rushed past the attackers when the thousands of troops were about to attack. Then, he heard the sound of someone falling into the water, and heard the warriors under his command.
Loudly begging for mercy, hearing cowardly cries and desperate screams
"Get away, get away! Stay in formation, don't fight!" The next moment, Shibi Khan heard the cry of a young man whose voice was still a little green, but had an unquestionable majesty. Then, this voice
Overwhelmed by the noisy sound of horse hooves, large groups of tribal warriors followed up from behind, wrapped Shibi in the center again, and ran for their lives with him in between.
"This seems to be the tactic of our Turks!" Suddenly, Shibi Khan realized this. When the Turkic Wolf Riders deal with an enemy army that is larger than themselves, they always use this kind of repeated harassment to find the enemy's weaknesses, and then attack them.
If you are too close to the enemy with a critical strike tactic, they will quickly escape to reduce their own casualties and wait for an opportunity to launch the next round of attack.
The next round of attack started soon, and it was the young man who was directing all the trumpets and all the trumpets were cooperating with his orders. Khan knew that he and the enemy leader were close at hand, and he also knew that if he organized the people around him to meet them,
Going up, he might create a miracle, but he didn't have the courage to create a miracle, and the tribal warriors around him who had become frightened would not obey the command. Before the enemy rushed into his team again and took away hundreds of lives, all he could do was
Something happened, I turned around suddenly and saw clearly the face of the enemy general
It was a very young face, with no smile or enthusiasm even on the beard. His cold eyes seemed to have seen Shibi Khan. This man actually nodded to him, then he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow.
The arrow came very quickly, and Shi Bi's horse speed and the wind direction by the river were calculated in advance. Never for a moment did Shi Bi feel that death was so close to him. He twisted his body on the horse and swung his scimitar to hit the arrow.
The blade only had time to knock the arrow shaft askew, and then a muffled sound was heard.
"Pfft!" was the sound of the armor-piercing awl penetrating through the barrier and piercing into the flesh. He dropped the knife and covered the arrow shaft on his chest. He felt heartbreaking pain, and at the same time he felt that his soul was trying to escape from the wound.
As he fled away, he saw the guards around him being chopped down like grass by the enemy. He saw the overcoming enemies forcing the warriors on his side into the river alive, and then carrying them and their horses away by the rapids.
The person who rushed to Shibi's side was another Central Plains general who was all in black. He was not wearing the common Great Sui armor, and the weapon in his hand was not the common Great Sui Hengdao. This man was not tall and a little thin, but he was extremely powerful.
With one ruthless strike, he cut down three of the guards around Shi Bi. After cutting four of them down in the crowd, he abandoned the opponents around him and just clamped down on the horse's belly, rushing towards Shi Bi like a meteor.
"Escort!" Shibi Khan shouted. There were no warriors in his hand. All he could use was a horse rein. The arrows that penetrated the two layers of leather armor seemed to be alive. They were still drilling into the flesh and gritting their teeth.
, Shibi pulled hard and pulled out the armor-piercing awl from his chest. He felt dizzy for a while. At the same time, he was glad that he was not dead yet. He held the arrow shaft in his hand to resist the long knife that was about to attack.
The black-armored general sneered slightly and raised his long sword above his head.
"Junji, let him go!" The young general's voice sounded like the sound of nature to Shibi's ears. It came in time at almost the moment he was on the verge of life and death. When he heard the order, he had already chased the man behind Shibi's horse.
The black-armored general suddenly turned his horse's head, slashing left and right among the fleeing crowd like a mad tiger, tearing a bloody gash, and rushed out quickly, leaving behind five or six horses that had lost their owners.
At first, he knew that he could return to the grassland alive, not because of the blessing of immortality, but because the young man from the Central Plains didn't want to kill him. As for the reason why the other party didn't want to kill him, he had thought about it clearly before he fainted from the pain.
It's because the other party doesn't want the grassland to be strong and wants to see the two alpha wolves of the Ashina family fighting each other.
"What a vicious young man!" Shibi cursed bitterly, leaned on the saddle, and was wrapped in the crowd as he continued to move forward. The cries that came from his ears gradually weakened and drifted away, disappearing like a nightmare.
