"I really didn't expect it. A few months ago, the Xianbei people drove us to heaven and earth with no way to go. But now, we are chasing us and running away like lost dogs. It's really surprising."
"Who says otherwise? In fact, the main reason why we lost so miserably was because the traitor Di Mi had colluded with the Xianbei people for a long time and deliberately exaggerated the threat of the Xianbei people, causing us to miscalculate
The opponent. Moreover, when the battle was slightly unfavorable, we took the initiative to flee, which shook the morale of the army, and this is why we were defeated miserably by our opponent."
"Yes, yes, if it weren't for the traitor Di Mi, as long as we gritted our teeth and held on, we might have defeated our opponents like we did today."
"Yes, it was just because we didn't understand our opponents and were misled by the traitors' wrong information that we had that result. The Han people and the Xianbei people have been fighting each other for many years. Although they are a little inferior in strength, they understand each other better, so
With our strong Wusun troops, we can naturally defeat the Xianbei people. In fact, as long as we are not misled by wrong information, our ability is no worse than that of the Han people, and we will only think that our soldiers can do better than the Han people.
It should be better."
"Well, didn't today's battle prove this point? Under our wise command, the Xianbei people are worse than last time."
Similar conversations are circulating among many Wusun generals. Of course, there are also many people who hold opposite views. There may be some arguments among them, but generally speaking, the arguments are not serious. After all, even if they are
The arrogant General Wusun had to admit that there were still a few gentry (bian) and scholar (tai)-level figures among the Han people who they could not defeat.
However, no matter what point of view they hold, one thing is certain, that is, the morale of the Wusun people is high at this moment, and their momentum is like a rainbow. They can't wait to make dumplings for the Xianbei people and eat them in one go. Will they be able to hold on?
Put it aside first.
Of course, under the desperate blocking of the Xianbei soldiers, the Wusun people always kept a distance from the Xianbei people. If they were not careful, the Xianbei army would be out of their sight. After all, the valley was winding and the sight was not clear.
Not very open.
And it was precisely for this reason that they had to speed up to follow the enemy, without stopping to explore the surrounding environment. After all, the Wusun people's scouting ability in the mountains and forests was obviously not comparable to that on the grassland. If they did not stop, they would
Searching, it is not impossible that the scouts may get separated from the main force, although it sounds a bit unbelievable.
Although the territory of Wusun is not without people such as mountain people who make a living from the mountains and forests, Wusun's vast land and thin population determine that the country's wars mainly rely on war horses, except for the Chigu City Royal Court troops because of the terrain around Chigu City.
As a result, they also paid more attention to sports such as mountain climbing. Basically, the first criterion for the rest of the Wusun soldiers to join the army was riding skills.
By the way, the troops in Chigu Castle are basically composed of elites drawn from other troops.
This also means that those mountain people who are poor at riding skills basically don't have many opportunities to join the army, so you can imagine how big Wusun's shortcomings are in terms of professional mountain scouts.
Do you think the Xianbei people are the same?
Come on, this is the battlefield chosen by the Xianbei people. Even if they are not good at mountain warfare, at least the nearby terrain should have been surveyed to a close. Otherwise, why do you think they can travel through the mountains without much chaos?
, otherwise even if there are brave soldiers fighting to the death, the chaotic team will slow down the marching speed.
Just like that, without realizing it, the Xianbei people had disappeared deep into the mountains and forests.
"Hey, let me tell you, do you think the ground here seems a little sticky? Even if it snows heavily in my hometown, it will never feel like this. It feels so awkward for a war horse to walk on it."
"When you say this, I feel the same way. The snow here is not too thick, but the movement of the war horses is not smooth."
"Yes, yes, the faster you run, the more obvious this feeling becomes."
Several Wusun soldiers discussed in a low voice. Although such behavior was not in line with military discipline, because they were currently in the process of chasing the "remnant enemy" and the topic they were discussing was not a morale-damaging topic, the nearby generals also
He just turned a blind eye and pretended not to hear. In fact, he himself had a similar feeling, but it didn't seem to happen every time. It only appeared for a short period of time after a long time.
distance.
It's probably something that was covered up by the heavy snow. There's a lot of decay in the mountains, so it's hard to tell if I stepped on something.
With this idea in mind, the officer, although he rarely went into the mountains, had heard such rumors. Although most of those rumors were said by his colleagues when they were drunk and drunk, they were so wet that even he himself sometimes
They could only shake their heads helplessly.
"Why are you thinking so much? Why not think about how to kill a few more Xianbei people and get more loot."
Shaking his head, the Wusun officer clamped down on the horse's belly and kept up with the speed of Sui's group.
Although there are more and more similar statements as the Wusun people go deeper, no one takes it to heart. Even if some people feel that they smell some greasy smell, they see the dark brown snow.
There is no reason to explore further. The commander may not care if you whisper something, but if you stop, you will get into big trouble.
However, on the top of the mountain that the Wusun people could not see, a middle-aged man stood there, quietly looking at the Wusun people passing by at the foot of the mountain and the large expanse of snow with black light on his face.
There is a color of compassion on it.
"I didn't expect His Excellency the Pope to use so many of his great gifts at once. I'm afraid the Wusun people will suffer a huge loss of vitality."
"It's not the Pope, it's the high priest. And if possible, I don't want to adopt such a method. Anyone can yearn for the brilliance released by Ahura Mazda, and anyone's sins can be punished by Ahura Mazda.
Washed by the brilliance of La Mazda, what is the difference between my behavior and Angola Mainu?"
"No, no, no, although the Pope is compassionate and as wise as the sea, these people below would rather be stubborn than believe in that god of light, so giving them to that evil god as playthings will do the trick for them.
of my mind.”
"It's not the Pope, it's the high priest. So my ability is not enough. If I can pull these lost lambs from the hands of Angora Mainyu back to the glory of Ahura Mazda, then I will
How could you choose this method?”
"It won't be an example next time, it won't be an example next time..."
"That's right. Through this incident, I have realized my shortcomings. It seems that I still have a long way to go."
And just as they were talking, the front of the Kushan people who had already moved quickly to the middle of the Wusun people's team appeared in their sight. These people kept walking through the Wusun people's team, seeming to be preparing to go to the front.
Attack with the Wusun people.
Seeing the appearance of these Kushan people, the middle-aged man showed a little surprise, but then it turned into a satisfied smile. If it weren't for his own image, maybe he would have given the greatest response to such an unexpected surprise.
Laughter. Of course, no matter how restrained he is, people around him can feel the extremely joyful atmosphere from him.
Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom...boom...
A strange sound suddenly echoed in the valley, like a war drum being beaten, like the sound of linen being torn, or like the sound of metal piercing into muscles. As the sound became faster and faster, it seemed as if
The entire valley was filled with this strange sound, and the heart of everyone in the valley was beating with this increasingly rapid sound, beating faster and faster, as if it would be ejected from the body in the next moment.
It rushed out and jumped out of the mouth.
"You have sold everything to the evil god. The ignorant people who have violated the good intentions of Ahura Mazda, the God of Light, will be turned into ashes in this fire of judgment to wash away your sins!"
As a middle-aged man's voice sounded, the sky suddenly became brighter. Some people who were more curious squinted their eyes and looked at the sky. Then they unconsciously widened their eyes and opened their mouths, with incredible expressions on their faces.
.
The sun, the second sun, the second sun appeared in the sky!
And unlike the original sun that provided light and heat to the earth and warmed everyone like a mother, the new sun that appeared was obviously not friendly to the humans in the valley, or it should be said that it had brought it with it from the beginning.
Full of malice.
Like a meteorite falling to the ground, the newborn sun smashed straight down towards the valley with a huge roar.
"It's very similar to your lord's sky fire. No, it should be said that it's like an amplified sky fire."
Li Shushi and others at the edge of the mountains also discovered the changes there, but they also felt a little bit relieved besides their sudden change of color. After all, ignorance is the biggest enemy. Since enemies and enemies
The conspiracy has begun to be revealed, so whether it is analyzing it or taking advantage of it, we can finally hit the target.
However, compared to the relatively relaxed Han army, the Wusun and Kushan people in that valley seemed to be in purgatory.
Flames, countless flames are rising and burning. Not only can the snow on the ground not stop the splashing flames, but countless people can clearly see that the flames become brighter and more vigorous when they come into contact with the black snow on the ground, and are heated by the high temperature.
The snow that was directly vaporized gradually drove the already rapidly consumed oxygen out of the valley.
No matter how slapped, no matter how roared, the God of Death never left this valley, and the sickle of Death never showed any signs of stopping. Countless innocent souls rose into the sky with the flames, and what these innocent souls finally saw was a lonely person on the top of a mountain in the distance.
The back view...
