Chapter 290 The skeleton horse thief kills like this
"What are our casualties?"
"One died and five were injured. Fortunately, the armor under our fur coats was of high quality sent from Gaotaicheng, otherwise the casualties would have been more than this. You have to know that although the brothers are brave, those Tyuhun people who tried to send the news to Golmud were all
He is a dead soldier who does not care about his life."
Wu San sat up slowly, took out a small jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Xiao Shizi and said: "This is a bottle of treasure given by the general when I was still working with the general. It was mixed by the general himself, but I
I remember that the general was not very satisfied at the time, so he gave Wu Si and I a bottle each. You arrange for someone to cook a pot of mutton soup, and pour five drops of this treasure into the pot. In such a cold weather, those Tuyuhun who are in a hurry are not afraid
The dead warriors must be in great need of a bowl of hot soup."
If Wang Junlin, the famous poison general in the world, is willing to sell the poison he mixed, I believe it can be sold at a sky-high price. Therefore, when Little Shitou heard that this was the poison mixed by the general himself, the blind man's eyes were already bright, and his hands
He carefully took the jade bottle and went outside the tent to cook mutton soup.
In the next few days, there was indeed an endless stream of people from Tuyuhun reporting the news. They fled from the north and east desperately, hoping to convey the news of the arrival of the Sui army to the Golmud area, the core of Tuyuhun in the southwest. When passing by,
Some wanted to come to this tribe to report news, and some came to ask for some supplies. As a result, without exception, they all disappeared into this strange tribe, and not even their bodies were found.
Poison kills people faster and more easily than knives. The bottle of poison that Wang Junlin was not satisfied with was actually very powerful and he was reluctant to waste the pebbles, so he only added five drops to a large pot, but this pot of sheep
Tang killed many more enemies than they killed with knives during the day.
The most severe incident was when more than thirty Tuyuhun cavalrymen were poisoned to death by a pot of mutton soup.
The Tuyuhun people have no written language, so if they want to convey a message to a distant place, they can only rely on oral transmission and heart-to-heart teaching, or even some beautiful songs.
Wu San took his two thousand skeleton horse thieves and stayed in this tribe for three days. After they killed a Tuyuhun cavalry of more than a thousand people, Wu San already knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time.
.
What's more, the ground here is full of dead bodies. Even the skeleton horse thieves who kill many people are not willing to sleep on dead bodies every night.
So, Wu San took two thousand skeleton horse thieves and started to move around.
At this time, the skeleton horse thief was already very wealthy. He currently owned a herd of horses and a flock of sheep. He was definitely a wealthy family among the Tuyuhun people.
From the people in Tuyuhun who reported the news, Wu San had already learned that the armies of Su Changqing, Jiang Muhang and Li Xiang had swept more than two hundred miles westward.
What he has to do now is to catch up with the 3,000 Sui troops while the 10,000 Tuyuhun troops left behind in Golmud don't know that the 3,000 Sui troops are killing people in their rear, and then quickly retreat to Gaotai City with them.
The general personally trained 5,000 troops in Gaotai City, so there cannot be too many casualties here.
…
…
The sun sets in the west.
There was a thick layer of blood scab on Su Changqing's armor. As long as he moved around, the cracked blood scab would fall to the ground.
Three days of sleepless and bloody fighting had exhausted all his strength.
Standing in the cold drinking water, he kicked away a Tuyuhun corpse lying in the water and prepared to take a deep drink.
He just picked up a handful of water, but Jiang Murang knocked it away.
Su Changqing's charcoal-red eyes looked at Jiang Mulang in astonishment.
Jiang Mulang gave a wry smile, took out a kettle from behind and put it in Su Changqing's hand: "The general once issued a strict order. We are not allowed to drink raw water unless forced to do so."
Su Changqing said a little embarrassedly: "I was so thirsty that I forgot about this."
Then he said to the soldiers around him: "Send the order and kill anyone who drinks raw water without authorization!"
After saying that, he pulled out the stopper of the kettle and drank every drop of the full pot of water. He licked his lips and said to himself: "When the general set this rule, I didn't think much of it."
I understand, but I still don’t quite understand it.”
Li Xiang came over and said, "What the general said makes sense. One day we will understand."
As he spoke, he used his helmet to scoop up water from the river and began to wash away the blood on his body.
The cold and clear water poured from head to toe, and turned into bright red blood after passing through the armor.
Behind him, there were more soldiers who were also cleaning their armor. In a short time, the river less than one foot wide turned into blood red.
Jiang Mulang was naked to the waist, grinning with his teeth stimulated by the ice water. He ran to Su Changqing's side and said, "The scouts just came to report that there are no traces of the enemy within a hundred miles behind us."
Su Changqing sneered: "The messengers who escaped were not just one or two..."
Li Xiang smiled and said: "Don't forget that Master Wu San is behind us with his two thousand skeleton horse thieves."
Su Changqing suddenly said: "You are saying that all the Tuyuhun people who reported the news were killed by Wu San's skeleton horse thieves."
…
…
The bloody battle in Shifeng Village is still going on. Xue Qiluo's army of Xue Yantuo's tribe has attacked the city several times, but they are always unable to stand and are immediately driven down by the defenders and people who are united in the city. Xue Qiluo
The initial high spirits have disappeared, his brows are getting tighter and his face is getting gloomier.
The attack on the defense fort and the main fort had lasted for a day and a half, and it took most of the day to attack the two defense forts. This had already made him extremely surprised. In his mind, the combat power of the Shifeng Village defenders had increased a bit. Just today
When the siege began, elite soldiers from Xue Yantuo's tribe were sent to assist the city, but they only managed to reach the top of the city before being defeated.
He didn't want the cavalry from Xueyantuo's tent, which belonged directly to their father and son, to be used as cannon fodder for attacking the city, so he just drove the warriors from various tribes to step up the attack on the city. The first attack on the city briefly boosted the spirits of these tribal leaders, but it also
They only attacked the city several times. At this time, the soldiers and people defending the city burst out with astonishing fighting power and will to fight to the death, knocking down the warriors from various tribes who had finally reached the city.
Looking at the sun, it was almost dusk again. The opponent's general named Niu Jinda was not an idiot. He must have noticed something was wrong at this time. I just didn't know if Carter Bear could hold him back.
Seeing another wave of attacks being repelled, Ren Junshuo sat down helplessly in a pool of blood. He had been hit by several arrows. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but he was still stained with blood.
The surroundings were full of corpses of soldiers and civilians who had fallen to the ground. He no longer had the intention to pay attention to how many people had died. The casualties of the old soldiers were a little better, but there were only three to five hundred people left. As for the young and strong civilians,
Hu Dafei weakly smiled bitterly, how many thousands of young people are there? He didn't dare to imagine.
