Poof!
Slashing the Hun spy's throat with a knife, Sengge gasped for air. This was the second time today!
In just one morning, they were overtaken by Huns' spies twice and fought two bloody battles.
He looked up again and looked around. Of the 5,000 tribal warriors who had followed him, there were now less than 1,000 left. During these days of escaping, spies kept catching up. It was inevitable that the Huns would detect the situation, so they could only keep fighting with them. Fight bloody battles and try your best to keep them.
However, the continuous bloody battles and continuous escapes also caused the tribe warriors in the back to lose their troops. Now they are not even one-fifth of their original strength.
Everyone's morale is very low, but not far ahead of them are a large number of people from their own tribe. If they don't fight, their relatives and friends will be overtaken by the Huns, so even if their morale is low, these warriors behind them can only I can grit my teeth and hold on.
After getting rid of the last spy, a captain from the tribe stepped forward, took out a kettle from his arms and handed it to Seng Ge, saying at the same time:
"Khan, the time for spies to catch up has become shorter and shorter recently, and the frequency has become faster and faster. They came twice this morning.
This shows that the Huns' large army is already very close to us. Hasn't the support from Yunzhou County arrived yet?
Given our current situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for much longer. "
Sengge opened the lid of the kettle and drank some water. However, after only two sips, he found that there was no water left, but his mouth was still unbearably dry.
Reluctantly, he handed the kettle back and said:
"We have to block it even if we can't. The tribesmen are all in front. We can't just watch the Huns massacre the tribesmen, right?
As for Yunzhou County, I haven't received any news in the past two days, but I heard two days ago that it is less than 400 miles away from us, so I thought it would be here soon.
Keep holding on, by the way, has everyone finished drinking the water? "
The captain sighed and persisted, which was easier said than done.
But when Khan asked about the water, he immediately replied: "Everyone has almost run out of water, but we can reach a stream in another ten miles or so. We can just go there to replenish it."
Hearing that there was a stream in front of him, Sengge's eyes immediately lit up, he nodded and ordered: "Then let the soldiers clean up the battlefield quickly, keep what can be used, throw away what cannot be used, and quickly set off to replenish the water. Otherwise, the soldiers will die of thirst, and how will they have the strength to fight?"
The captain nodded, and then the team quickly cleared the battlefield and sped towards the stream.
And less than fifty miles behind them, the Huns' 200,000 cavalry army was also rushing forward.
"Report! Report to King Zuo Xian that only three of the spies we sent out have returned. The two Centuries in the south have lost contact. They must have encountered the Tuli Genbu who are on the run!"
While the army was marching, a probing horse quickly returned from the front, came to the side of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, kept pace with him, and reported the information at the same time.
After hearing this, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu immediately ordered:
"We lost contact so quickly this time. It seems that we are not far away from the remnants of Tu Ligen. Send an order to the army to speed up due south!
This time, we are going to catch this cunning tuligan rabbit completely!
God bless you forever! "
"Ho ho ho! God bless you!"
The army screamed and screamed the words "Blessed by the Immortal God" in unison.
Then they sped up again and chased forward. They had been chasing the roots for almost half a month, and they finally caught up. These damn Tatars can really run. After catching them, Break their legs as soon as possible and see if they can still run!
…
Finally, after advancing for more than ten miles, and still far away from the stream, Sengge saw the sparkling water in the distance, his throat rolled unconsciously, and then his horse speed increased. A lot.
Not only were the people tired after these days of escaping, but the horses were also tired. When the horses saw the water source, they quickened their pace without being urged.
Soon the team came to the stream. There were some animals such as hares drinking water beside the stream. When they noticed the arrival of Sengge and his party, the gray rabbit's gray rabbit ears twitched and then ran away quickly. .
Arriving at the stream, Seng Ge was about to tell everyone to get water when he suddenly heard a call!
"Abu!"
This familiar call immediately made Sengge freeze on the spot, and his movements also froze.
The rest of the people also heard the call, and together with Seng Ge, they looked up in shock and looked in the direction of the sound.
Then they suddenly saw many figures appearing on the high slope not far ahead. Taking a closer look, weren't they the tribesmen who should be dozens of miles away from them?
Why are they still here?
The person who just called Abu was Sengge's only son, the young khan of Tuligen - Sirinud Tuligen.
Little Xirinude was just eleven years old. When he fled, Sengge arranged for him to stay with Eji.
However, only he appeared now, which not only panicked Sengge who saw their appearance.
Why are they here?
Now the Huns are very close to them, but they are still here. When the Huns catch up, they will not be able to escape.
What happened?
A series of thoughts kept turning in Sengge's mind, and various dangerous possibilities were constantly thought up and overturned.
However, little Xirinud didn't know that Abu was brainstorming at the moment. He happily rushed down the hillside with the others, came to Sengge, hugged his own Abu's thigh and shouted happily:
"Abu, you're fine!"
Seng Ge turned over and dismounted with a sullen face, and then slapped him hard!
"Why do you want to stay here, where are you?"
Sirenud, who was originally happy, was stunned by his father's sudden slap.
Tears filled his eyes in the next second, but under Sengge's cold eyes, he never dared to flow out, because Abu said that men in Turigan are not allowed to shed tears.
If he dares to shed tears, Abu's next slap will definitely follow without any hesitation.
Although he was aggrieved, Xiao Xirinud still explained: "Abu, we have encountered the Yunzhou Army. Abu and the others are on the other side of the hillside."
When Seng Ge heard this, his frown instantly relaxed, and he realized that he had wrongly blamed his son.
However, his father's majesty did not allow him to admit his mistake. He raised his hand and rubbed little Xirinud's head to express his apology.
And at this moment, the Tuligen clansmen on the hillside came down and another group of figures wearing pitch black armor appeared and rushed downwards. The moment he saw these people's equipment, Seng Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief. .
He had seen the heavy armored cavalry of the Yunzhou Army during the military parade the year before last.
After more than ten breaths of time, this group of approximately thirteen armored heavy cavalry arrived at Sengge's side. The unparalleled aura they carried when they rushed towards them made Sengge and others feel sad even though there were only thirteen people. He was nervous for a while, but then he became happy again.
They have seen the heavy cavalry of the Huns. In comparison, these heavy cavalry of the Yunzhou Army are obviously stronger. After all, even the horses are covered with armor. In addition to the financial resources of Yunzhou County, the Huns Humans can't do it.
The Thirteen Riders came to their side, and before Sengge could say anything, the leading knight raised his visor, revealing a face that seemed familiar to Sengge.
Then I heard the man smile and cup his hands and say: "Li Dingguo, the deputy general of Yunhui Army, has met Sengge Khan!"
Sengge finally remembered who this person was. He had seen this person when he went to pay tribute to Yunzhou County last year. He was a senior general in the Yunhui Army, known as the strongest army in Yunzhou Army.
But didn’t he remember that the deputy general of Yunhui Army was named Cao? How did it become him?
However, no matter what he was thinking at the moment, Sengge immediately put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly to return the greeting: "Sengge Tuligen, Tuligen, has met General Li!"
After the two sides greeted each other, Sengge couldn't wait to ask: "General Li, but the Yunzhou Army has arrived?"
Li Dingguo nodded: "This time the prince has sent 100,000 troops. Except for the 5,000 people who are ambushing here, the rest are three miles away and can come at any time. Most of the people from your tribe have also been arranged there." side."
"One hundred thousand?"
Seng Ge was a little stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The Huns sent 200,000 troops, including 2,000 armored heavy cavalry. Is only 100,000 men enough?"
Regarding his worries, Li Dingguo showed a confident smile.
"The 100,000 mentioned below refer to 50,000 regular troops and 50,000 armored heavy cavalry. In addition, we have more than 200,000 auxiliary troops.
There are only 200000 Huns and only 2000 armored heavy cavalry. This time we will let them never come back!
We need to let those Huns know who this grassland belongs to. Our prince's land here is not a place where they can come or leave wherever they want! "
"What! Fifty thousand heavy armored cavalry!"
When he heard the words "50,000 armored cavalry", Seng Ge felt dizzy.
The Xiongnu only had two thousand heavy armored cavalry, and they were unable to fight back.
Yunzhou County actually pulled out 50,000 yuan at once!
Is this the power that Tian Khan has?
So compared to the tribes who surrendered to the Huns, was he... a right bet? !
Excitement began to flow out of my heart uncontrollably!
God bless you forever! ! !
