When Ruda heard the snoring, he immediately grinned. He held the sword in one hand, half-bent his waist, and approached the poplar tree where the sound came from.
However, he was too fat. Although he was superb in martial arts, his ability to lighten his body was not very good. When Kankan walked to the tree, he suddenly accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground.
This dead wood branch is as thick as an ordinary person's arm. If you step on it normally, it will only hurt your feet. But Luda is not like that. Even though he feels that he is too weak, there is still a "click" sound. , it was the dead tree branch that was trampled in pieces.
The night was quiet, and this sharp sound was very harsh. The sound on the tree stopped immediately, and then there was no movement at all.
Ruda didn't move at this time. For soldiers in the northwest, he didn't have night blindness. He was a carnivore and his eyes were sharp and he stared at the tree.
There was a moment of confrontation, and then he saw a curved but half-hidden bright color slowly appear on the tree. Ruda knew that this was the Uighur Scimitar blooming. Although the other party was careful, he couldn't see it anywhere. .
After hesitating for a few moments, feeling that there were no other threats around him, Luda suddenly stood up and rushed forward like a wild beast. Even the dead leaves on the ground were picked up one after another and flew away like a swirl.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the poplar tree. Ruda's shoulder was slammed into it. The tree trembled, and a "click" sound came from the tree. It was not known which part actually cracked under Ruda's divine power.
There was a human figure on the tree. He was shaken to the ground by the sudden tremor. He fell unconscious and even the scimitar in his hand was thrown far away.
Luda was afraid that he would resist, so he went up and kicked him. The humanoid yelled "Ouch", and immediately the soldiers from behind rushed over and held their necks with swords and guns.
Luda stepped forward and whispered: "Zu Niao, are there any accomplices in the forest?"
The man was held by a sharp blade and he didn't dare to struggle, but he said, "Guess what."
When Luda heard this, he immediately became furious and slapped him. Fearing that he would be beaten to death, he spared some strength, but he also beat the man until stars appeared in his eyes and his molars moved several times.
Then he had people gagged, left two people to guard him, and then took the soldiers to explore the front. In this way, he almost walked through the woods here, and then returned to the team.
After seeing Zhao Tong reporting everything, Zhao Tong first looked at the captured man. He saw that he was wearing Uighur leather armor, but he was as thin and short as the times. What he did was drag him out, cut off his hands and feet, and hang him on a tree to feed the birds."
Hearing this, the man was shocked and said hurriedly: "Aries from the Song Kingdom, you can't kill Dafanha like this. Dafanha is of great use. Even these eyes are the Uighur's most precious possessions!"
Zhao Tong frowned slightly when he heard this: "What did you just call me?"
At this time, Dafanha felt regretful. If he had known this, he would not have replaced the boy Afan. He was just a scout when attacking the military city. He was just a scout. But wait...what does this Aries of the Song Dynasty call himself? ? This king? Is he a prince of Song Dynasty?
Dafanha immediately said: "This is the nickname Liyanaza gave to the noble prince, but it has nothing to do with Dafanha. The prince defeated her. She became so angry that she would not allow anyone to mention the prince's name in front of her. She could only use the name Yoyodai said that he almost cut out Dafanha’s tongue because of this incident.”
Zhao Tong said with a gloomy face: "Where is Liyanaza now?"
Dafanha said: "My lord, take a guess."
Zhao Tong said: "Drag him out and give him ten lashes first!"
Dafanha immediately shouted: "Your noble prince, I would like to say that Lianaza has decided to attack the military city tonight, at midnight, at midnight."
Zhao Tong ignored him and ordered the team to slowly enter the Populus euphratica forest, and then deployed secret sentry scouts. Since the Uighurs were found here at this moment, it is not difficult to judge that Liyanaza will most likely attack the military city tonight.
The silver is touching people's hearts, not to mention that the third Uighur princess seems to be vindictive. Zhao Tao secretly shook his head, this third princess is still a bit small.
At this time, Liu Suiyun and Yang Zhi led an ambush in the military city. The opponent would definitely be caught off guard after a strong attack. Whether they retreated immediately or fell into a fight, as long as his team surrounded them from behind and attacked from both sides, the Uighurs would surely Defeat, even if Lianaza's troops are stronger, it will not help in this case.
At this time, Dafanha was brought back with ten whips. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, whatever news you want to know, Dafanha will tell you everything."
Zhao Tong said: "Don't you want me to guess?"
Dafanha said hurriedly: "Don't dare, Dafanha will never dare to ask His Highness to guess riddles again."
Zhao Tong looked at him and narrowed his eyes: "Liyanaza attacked the military city at midnight?"
Dafanha said: "That's exactly the case, but she didn't know that the noble prince had already anticipated her stupid plan and was waiting for her to fall into the trap."
Zhao Tong said: "Dafanha, I think you are neither loyal nor polite. Why can a person like you survive for so long under Liyanaza? I see that she is also ruthless, so why didn't I kill you earlier?" head?"
Dafanha said: "Your noble prince, Dafanha has special abilities. Dafanha's eyes can see farther than ordinary people. They call me a sensitive falcon in the Uighurs. I am the best candidate to be a scout. Liya How could Nazha really kill me?"
Zhao Tong thought for a while, thinking, is it a falcon sleeping in a poplar tree?
He said: "You have this skill, which is quite useful. I have heard that the Uighurs believe in Buddhism, and I happen to believe in Buddhism as well. I always believe that God has the virtue of good life, and the world has compassion. You can tie up Liana." Tell me your detailed plan, and I will consider sparing your life."
Dafanha blinked and thought to himself, the Khan and the princes believe in Buddhism, but the third princess believes in the Ming religion, which is not the same as you, a sheep of the Song Dynasty, but he is a good boy at the moment, so how can he dare to say that? When he came out, he just said: "Dafanha knows everything, and I just ask the prince to spare Dafanha's life."
Zhao Tong listened to Dafanha's words for a full quarter of an hour before interrupting impatiently: "I understand, but I asked you about Liya Naza's plan. How can you keep talking about it?" Leg Khan’s concubine!”
He said: "I will ask you again, what is Liyanaza's intention in attacking Longyou this time? If you answer in such a long-winded manner as before, I will immediately push him out and behead him!"
Dafanha trembled when he heard this and said: "Your Highness, I only know that Liyanaza came here looking for something. She had been looking for it in Xizhou for a long time before."
Zhao Tong frowned and said, "What?"
Dafanha said: "Only Lianaza knows this, but Dafanha sees that she is always studying an ancient sheepskin picture. From a distance, it seems like a mysterious place."
Zhao Tong said: "Mysterious place?"
Dafanha nodded: "It might be a village, it might be an oasis, it might be a city, I can't tell."
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Zhao Tong's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly: "Dafanha, if I let you go back now, do you think Lianaza will still believe you?"
Dafanha was stunned when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, his face suddenly changed and he said: "Dafanha fell into the prince's plan and reported false news to Lianaza, and also said a lot of bad things about Lianaza. She must be They will chop me into pieces and feed them to the vultures.”
Zhao Tong glanced at him and waved his sleeves to the side. Immediately, soldiers came over and pushed him away. Then Zhao Tong sat on a folded wooden chair and fell into deep thought.
Troop training must be one of the purposes of Liyanaza's invasion of Longyou this time. As for what he is looking for, Dafanha may be talking nonsense. This time the Falcon agent is afraid that he will not get the answer, so it is very possible to talk nonsense, and even if Liyanazha really came to Longyou to look for something, and it has nothing to do with tonight's battle. After tonight's battle, it's hard to say whether the third Uighur princess can save her life.
Time passed little by little, and as midnight approached, the soldiers and horses in the Populus euphratica forest were ready. At this moment, the military city in the distance was silent both inside and outside.
The lights in the military city had been extinguished long ago. There were only a few soldiers on guard walking back and forth next to the wooden stacks at the top of the city. Under the moonlight, they could be seen wandering around, obviously a little sleepy and tired.
At this time, a group of men and horses suddenly ran out from the hills and hills in the northwest, their horses' hooves wrapped around something. They were not very fast at first, but as they got closer and closer to the military city, they charged directly.
When the soldiers at the top of the city found out, they immediately banged the gong as a warning, but a hail of arrows came at them as if they were free. The soldiers had no choice but to go behind the wooden stacks and beat the gong louder. .
The Uighur soldiers and horses came to the city at an extremely fast speed, and then kept firing arrows at the city, covering several Uighur soldiers carrying kerosene and running to the city gate.
The gate of the military city was made of thick logs that were trimmed and tied together. They were strong and difficult to break. However, as the Uighur soldiers poured several large barrels of kerosene on them and lit the huozhe, the gate of the military city burst into flames. .
The fire was so strong that various sounds could be heard in the city, as if there was chaos. Seeing this scene, Liyanaza coldly ordered: "Attack!"
After receiving the order, the Uighur soldiers immediately divided into two teams. One team was responsible for covering, with horses running around, constantly aiming at the human figures on the city and shooting arrows. The other team ran to the bottom of the city and hit the city with thick tree trunks that had been cut down long ago. Door.
If the wooden city gate were one piece, even if it burned in a fire, it would take a long time to burn to ashes, but this wooden gate is made of logs tied together.
There are three kinds of materials for tying logs, hemp rope, rubber band, and iron wire. This iron wire is not iron wire, but a crude thin iron bar used to fix objects. It cannot withstand the rain and will rust over time.
Under the fire, the hemp ropes and rubber bands could not withstand the burning, and the iron wire broke directly after several impacts from the thick tree trunk. Within a moment, the wooden door of the military city collapsed with raging flames...
