"It should be fast." Xu Deyan, who hurriedly boarded the city, replied to Yu Yi.
"But the Turks obviously don't intend to let us hold on for much longer." Yu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Look, the sun is about to set. Logically speaking, this should have been the last attack of the Turks today.
People's vision is not very good at night, so it is impossible to use cavalry to launch an attack at night."
These days, the Turks are not without attacks at night. Even recently, it can be said that they attack every night. Of course, the main purpose of this is to hinder the defenders on the city from repairing the city. After all, you can't count on the soldiers holding torches even if you sleep.
How much fighting power can it have?
After a pause, Yu Yi felt helpless: "However, this posture is clearly intended to break through our defense line today."
"Whether it is infantry or cavalry, they will eventually rush in through these gaps," Xu Deyan pointed, "so if we block the Turks' infantry, we can also block their cavalry."
"We only have three low walls in total." Yu Yi raised his eyebrows.
"We still have a camp in the south of the city, and we even still have our flesh and blood." Xu Deyan's voice was still calm, "It should be within these two days, so as long as we can hold on today, then maybe tomorrow
You can see hope.”
Yu Yi gritted his teeth and looked at the Turkic cavalry getting closer and closer. This time he didn't say anything more, but pointed his sword forward directly!
Countless arrows roared out in the next moment.
Since this is destined to be a night of bloodshed, instead of being afraid here, it is better to make this night come faster.
————————-
Night comes quickly.
Being at the north entrance of the valley, one could not hear the sound of fighting going back to Lecheng in the south, but one could also know that at this time, Brother Paoze over there must also be fighting bloody battles.
The soldiers dressed as Han slaves staggered on the snow, and the Turks who received the news in the camp had sent a team of cavalry to verify their identities. The Turk leader who led the cavalry was obviously familiar with Hari.
, as soon as he saw Heli, the vigilance on his face relaxed a lot, and he shouted in Turkic language:
"Congratulations, this is really a big achievement!"
Heli laughed and saluted the other party. Although the other party was only a small leader, he was a personal follower of Tujue Yehu. He was completely different from himself, the leader of a small tribe. It was his honor for the other party to praise him like this.
Of course, Heli's laughter sounded a little fake, but the little leader obviously didn't notice this. Instead, he looked at the Han slaves in front of him strangely: "Where did you get these slaves from?"
, why are there only men but no women, and they all look young?"
After all, Han slaves are usually captured from local villages and towns, including men, women, old and young. Of course, these little Turkic leaders also know that men are the most important source of labor. Even if he wants,
Hari will not give in, but women are different. After all, the physical strength of Han women is not as good as that of Turkic women on the grassland, so they are mainly used by the Turks as a tool for sexual release (harmony) and fertility.
Therefore, the little boss immediately wanted to see if Heli had any good stuff here. With his identity and relationship with Heli, it was not a big deal to beg him for fun.
He was a little surprised when he saw that they were all young men.
"This is a lost southern barbarian caravan." Heli said hurriedly. "Because it was snowing and it lost its direction, it was originally going south, but it didn't know that it had gone north, and it happened to be bumped into by someone."
This is also the argument that Yu Xi and the others had discussed with He Li before. Otherwise, there is really no way to explain where these hundreds of young men came from. Of course, there are still caravans passing through at this time.
On the grassland, this itself is an unexplainable lie.
But other than that, there is really no other reason to explain why so many people suddenly appeared here. After all, there is a big difference in appearance and body shape between Turks and Han people. So many people
Pretending to be a Turk would not be very convincing.
Of course, Yu Xi's original purpose was not to rush directly into the Turkic camp. It was enough to get as close as possible.
The little Turkic leader looked at these dejected Han slaves with suspicion. Unexpectedly, he didn't seem to say much, but just glanced at Heli meaningfully, and Heli immediately nodded slightly: "We brothers also have some
We haven’t seen each other for a few months. I’ll send you fifty from a certain date later. Let’s have a few drinks to cheer up!”
Seeing the Turkic leader riding away quickly, Heli breathed a sigh of relief. If the Turkic leader really planned to take action, Yu Xi and others behind him would immediately take his life.
With the Turks' plundering southward in recent years, there are still so many business travelers on the grassland. Moreover, even the largest business travel team cannot have so many people. In fact, these leaders and tribal leaders know it very well.
, these people are most likely captured Han army scouts, or even more likely defeated Han army teams.
But since there was a war, according to Turkic rules, part of the loot must be handed over to Ye Hu. And if it was just said that these were randomly robbed Han merchants or villagers, then naturally it would not be so complicated.
Therefore, when the people below usually collect statistics and report seizures, they always use these opportunistic methods, and everyone understands it tacitly.
For the upper-level leaders like Ye Hu and Tutun, the seizure of trophies is actually not in their eyes. Their wealth mainly comes from the seizures of their own tribe and the surrounding tribes.
The small tribe itself is unlikely to do anything earth-shattering, so it is impossible to make any truly huge seizures, so just turn a blind eye or close an eye, and everyone will feel comfortable.
As for the personal followers they sent down below to conduct inspections, such as the little leader just now, they all knew that as long as they could receive some benefits, it would be okay to help cover it up. Don't look at the hundreds of people here in Heli.
Give him fifty people, take a little from here, a little from there, and naturally there will be more.
This kind of thing is often done, so the little boss doesn't take it to heart at all. Rather than caring about what a small tribe leader like Heli can do, it is better to think about whether he can fight in the front.
Something was gained in it.
"Let's go." Yu Xi's smile gradually became ferocious. (To be continued)
