Turbulent Times Chapter 318: Cooperation
The 10,000 miners who survived were all strong and strong men. After witnessing the strength of these people, Wu San squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Dongyang who ran over for a while, then quickly adjusted the follow-up tactics and said: "Brother Zhao is very capable, why don't you ask your people to collect the horses, weapons, and armor of the Tuyuhun people and arm them quickly. I guess the main force of the Tuyuhun people will arrive soon."
Zhao Dongyang took a deep look at Wu San, nodded, and waved to call a few people. The 10,000 miners quickly began to collect horses, weapons, and armor. Among the 10,000 miners, Han accounted for six Cheng, was originally a frontier citizen of the Sui Dynasty, and the remaining 40% are from various ethnic groups, especially the Tubo, Qiang, and Turkic people. They have long been accustomed to riding horses. Although they have not had cavalry training, they wear armor and hold weapons. It looked like a group of rabble, but these people did not say a word from the beginning to the end, and their expressions were indifferent, which made Wu San feel inexplicable chills in his heart.
While Wu San was looking at the miners, Zhao Dongyang was also secretly observing the two thousand skeleton army. After careful observation, he found that although the majority of them were Han Chinese, there were also one-fifth of them from other ethnic groups. Glancing at the skull-headed banner behind Wu San, he said, "If I guess correctly, your Excellency and his party should be under the command of Sha Qianmo, the horse thief king of the Western Regions."
Wu San looked indifferent, and said: "Why do you make such a judgment?"
Zhao Dongyang said with a smile: "Because among the horse thief forces in the Western Regions, there is no other force except the nine horse thieves under the command of Sha Qianmo, the horse thief king of the Western Regions."
Wu San said proudly: "I don't care who you are, since you know the name of our king, you'd better not play any tricks. After today's cooperation, you can leave with your horses and some food, but This place will be a stronghold for my king."
A trace of extremely dark cruelty flashed in Zhao Dongyang's eyes, and the smile on his face was still extremely gentle: "Your Excellency has saved our lives, and we will never do anything to repay our kindness until we kill the main force of Tuyuhun." After that, I will take people away."
"In that case, let's discuss how to deal with the 7,000 Tuyuhun army." Wu San had a cold face, and his words were also firm.
Zhao Dongyang didn't care about Wu San's attitude, and the smile on his face was always as bright and warm as the sun: "I sent some people to pretend to be blocked by them, and then scattered in all directions to disperse their forces, making them think that we have escaped. Put down your vigilance. And our main force is hiding in the iron mine, and you are hiding in their barracks, giving them a surprise. What do you think?"
Wu San praised secretly in his heart, he had to say that the strategy Zhao Dongyang said was a clever strategy, and it was also the last strategy they could think of right now.
After pondering for a while, he felt that there was no problem, and he couldn't think of a better strategy. Wu San nodded coldly and said: "That's right, I will use this method. But first, we must kill the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun people here." The light may be driven to the ruined city, otherwise our whereabouts will be exposed by them."
Zhao Dongyang said with a smile: "What's the difficulty? Although there are many Tuyuhun people here, they are all women, children, old and young. I sent people to drive them into the broken city and watch."
…
…
After half a day, the main force of the seven thousand Tuyuhun finally came back, and saw more than a thousand miners riding horses, donkeys, camels, and carts, leaving with all kinds of belongings. Golmud, the last miner, still searched and picked up the dead Tuyuhun people and some businessmen.
The leader of these 7,000 people is Mazaha, the younger brother of King Bailan. He was furious when he saw this, and led his people to rush forward with roars. Without hesitation, two thousand people were sent out to chase and kill these people. And he led five thousand people to the barracks with ashen faces. In the past two days, he has been chasing and killing that damned Sui army, but he failed to catch up, and instead his old lair was raided.
Looking at the corpses of the troops scattered around in the barracks, Mazaha was half-dead in anger, and ordered: "See if there are still people alive, and then send someone to find the people in the tribes, and ask what happened here What's the matter. There is also a mine with some people to see, to see if there are any **** miners, and if there are any, kill them all."
After the order was issued, a thousand people went to the iron mine, and a thousand people scattered to various tribes to look for the people of Tuyuhun. With a gloomy face, Mazaha led the remaining 3,000 people into the barracks, scattered in search of survivors and clues.
At this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the cowhide tents in the military camp, shooting a large number of unsuspecting Tuyuhun people to death, and at the same time they were shocked. After the rain of arrows, many cowhide tents in the military camp The tent was torn open suddenly, and heavily armed cavalry rushed out of it, gathered together at an extremely fast speed, and rushed towards them. war horse.
"There is an ambush, get on your horse, and fight!" Mazaha roared loudly, leading the five hundred soldiers around him who had not dismounted and who were still gathered together to push forward without hesitation. He wanted to buy time for the others and let them The scattered men mounted their horses, gathered, and fought back. He saw that the number of enemies did not exceed two thousand, as long as they survived the first round, they would kill the enemies back.
However, at this time, the fighting and screams coming from the direction of the iron mine made Mazaha's heart sink. What made him angry was that the enemy didn't rush towards him after gathering, or avoided him on purpose, but rushed towards other soldiers who were in a hurry to find horses and hadn't gathered to form a battle formation.
"Hurry up and get on the horse, hurry up and face the battle!" Mazaha immediately understood the enemy's purpose, and couldn't help but screamed desperately.
After the cavalry gathered, they rushed straight to his left from the center of the barracks, with a speed as fast as a gust of wind, crushing any obstacles along the way.
Although there are various armors, the formation is quite neat, and everyone's body is tightly wrapped by leather armor. The mounts under everyone's crotch are almost the same height, with firm steps, carrying a wide shield and a long horizontal knife, like a comb, moving quickly in the barracks, whoever is "comb-toothed" All the Tuyuhun fighters that my son met were combed to pieces. Mazaha led his men to chase desperately, but they were always close, because they had already driven for a day and a night before they came, their horsepower was no longer good, and the opponent was so cunning.
