"Your Highness, two days have passed so quickly, and that old guy Gema didn't even fart!" Kunli Mingtai snorted angrily: "It seems that he is planning to fight to the end. What should I do next? manage?"
Tanli, the second Turkic prince sitting opposite, leisurely held a luminous cup and smiled at Kunli Mingtai: "I say Kunli, can you call that what you drink all day long called wine? That's called horse urine! Come on! , have a taste of this, I guarantee you will regret every time you got drunk before!"
Kunli Mingtai took the cup helplessly, swallowed it clean with a bang, then smashed it in his mouth and continued to ask: "Your Highness, you can be more precise, will you fight tomorrow? To be honest, I have been I have never felt this kind of birdiness since I became a Blood Guard!"
Tanli couldn't help feeling a little depressed as he watched Kunli Mingtai waste the wine like a cow without any appreciation. He took a small sip to himself, enjoying the wonderful feeling of the wine sliding through his mouth and throat. After a soft warmth filled his body, he said calmly: "Of course I have to hit him. , is there any need to say that? What do you think my legion has been doing these two days? Humph, I had expected that Gema would not be obedient, so I ordered the craftsmen of the eleventh legion to speed up the assembly of siege equipment. In just two days , there are already one hundred and twenty ladders and thirty trebuchets ready, and there are also three city assault vehicles, which are almost ready."
He put down the wine glass, looked at Kunli Mingtai and teased: "Without those equipment, are you going to let the Blood Guards cavalry fly over Zijin Pass?"
Kunli Mingtai laughed when he heard this: "Let me tell you, why are the brothers of the Golden Wolf Army so busy these two days? They are preparing to attack the city. Well, His Highness is still awesome!"
Tanley smiled triumphantly and said, "What's this? I even prepared a special kill for Gemma."
Kunli Mingtai couldn't help being curious, and quickly asked: "Your Highness, what do you mean by the decisive blow?"
Tanli was not in a hurry to answer Kunli Mingtai's doubts, but looked at the personal guard general next to the Khan with a smile, and suddenly asked: "Old man, who do you think I am compared to my elder brother?" More capable?"
Although Kunli Mingtai, the general of the Blood Guard, was a rough man, he was not a fool either. He was startled by Tanli's sudden question and his mind was spinning rapidly. Having served in the Golden Tent for a long time, Kunli Mingtai certainly knew how terrible the struggle for imperial power was, and he also understood that any negligence or wrong word he made at this time could kill himself and his family.
Stanley's issue is undoubtedly the most sensitive matter in the battle for the throne.
No matter what answer Kunli Mingtai gave, sooner or later it would reach the ears of the Great Khan Ashina Zhijin and the eldest prince Chili.
However, he had to answer now, otherwise if Tanley finally won, his performance at the moment might not end well.
Kunli Mingtai rolled his eyes and said with a naive smile: "Your Highness's question is really difficult to answer. I remember that the Great Khan once told Mr. Yun Qianxue and me that the two princes are both civil and military, and each has his own strengths. We are the best among the Golden Tribe, and even among the entire Turks. But who is better? Even the Great Khan admits that it is not easy to draw a conclusion. You say, if the Great Khan is like this, how can we, the servants, understand? What? Hahaha..."
Tanley seemed to be meeting Kunli Mingtai for the first time. His face was full of surprise. While looking at the other person carefully, he smiled and said: "I said Kunli, you can do it. I never expected that you are also very good." Woolen cloth."
Kunli Mingtai knew that he had passed this test, so he secretly took a long breath, scratched his head and said: "Your Highness, you are very grateful. I speak from my heart. The Blood Guards are loyal to the Turkic monarch. Who is the Great Khan? I Just risk your life to assist and protect someone, and don’t think blindly about the rest.”
"Well said!" Tanli smiled happily and raised his glass: "Come on, Kunli Mingtai, I'll toast you for your loyalty!"
Kunli Mingtai responded quickly, and the two of them clinked their wine glasses together and drank loudly.
After finishing his drink, Kunli Mingtai wiped his beard and asked again: "Your Highness, you haven't told me yet, what is that killer shot?"
"It's actually very simple." Tanli put down his wine glass and smiled calmly: "You don't know, there is actually a secret passage in Zijin Valley."
"Secret passage?" Kunli Mingtai was shocked.
Tanli nodded: "After the capture of Zijin Pass, when His Highness Ronya checked the archives of Shengtang's army, he accidentally discovered that there was a secret passage on the east wall of Zijin Pass. The function of the secret passage was to prevent the fortress from being blocked. During the siege, those who communicate with the outside world or break out of the siege to escape. Because this matter is extremely important, after learning the details, the Great Khan strictly ordered the Prince of the Temple not to make any news, and only a few of us, the princes and generals of the Golden Tribe, knew about it. Gema That old guy rashly seized the Zijin Pass, and there was no way he would have noticed the existence of the secret passage in a short period of time, so..."
Kunli Mingtai became excited: "So we can use the secret passage to launch a surprise attack on him!"
"That's natural." Tanli leaned on the soft cushion and said with a proud smile: "Gema thought that our Golden Wolf Army was nothing to worry about, and would probably wait until Yun Qianxue arrived before attacking him, so he would probably be careless. Tomorrow , we will attack him from the front, making the Yakut army exhausted, and then send the elite Blood Guard soldiers to attack the city from the secret passage, causing everything to bloom inside and outside!"
Kunli Mingtai gave his brother a thumbs up: "Everyone says that Your Highness is good at strategizing, and you are indeed extraordinary! Please let me be the vanguard of the assault tomorrow. I will lead the most elite Blood Guard soldiers to attack the secret passage and catch Gemma off guard!"
Tanley wanted to get what he said, and was about to express his approval to Kunli Mingtai for taking the initiative to ask for a job, when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from far and near outside the tent.
Kunli Mingtai stood up and shouted: "Guard! What's going on outside?"
A Turkic officer ran into the tent in a panic: "Your Highness, general, the enemy is attacking!"
Hearing from the officer that there were enemy troops coming for a sneak attack in the middle of the night, Tanli and Kunli Mingtai couldn't help but look at each other: I'm going! Gema is so talented?
The two of them did not dare to neglect, quickly picked up their weapons and rushed out of the main tent to check the situation. At this time, the front camp of the Golden Wolf Army had fallen into chaos, with large groups of fires lighting up almost half of the night sky.
The Golden Wolf Army in the remaining camps are quickly regrouping and moving towards the front camp one after another. Listening to the noise over there, it was obvious that the enemy troops who came to steal the camp had already started a fierce battle with the Golden Wolf Army.
Kunli Mingtai was a Turkic general who had experienced many battles. When encountering this situation, he did not panic at all. He conveyed several orders to his subordinates one after another, asking the troops to not only attack from the front, but also to outflank in multiple ways. Surrounding Gema's men.
Tanli did not want to take risks in the dark, so he decided to stay where he was and wait for the results of the battle under the protection of Kunli Mingtai and a large number of personal soldiers. They waited patiently for nearly half an hour before the noise in the front camp gradually calmed down, but the fire showed no sign of weakening.
Kunli Mingtai felt uneasy and turned to Tanli to ask if he wanted to go to the front to see the situation. Tanli was silent and waited for a long time before he made up his mind and followed Kunli Mingtai to the front camp. Everyone was galloping, and the closer they got to the front camp, the thicker the smoke became. Tanli was choked and couldn't help coughing, and his face became darker and darker.
When a group of them arrived at the front camp of the 11th Army Corps, the former camp commander who was commanding his men to clean the battlefield felt uneasy and hurriedly came up to report: "Your Highness, the enemies have been repulsed by us!"
Tanli glared at him angrily, pointed at the fire not far away, and asked coldly: "What's going on over there?"
In the open space of the front camp, the fire was blazing into the sky at this time. Countless large wooden instruments were crackling in the raging fire, and they were constantly collapsing and falling, with a terrifying sound. The soldiers in the front camp surrounded the large piece of burning equipment, running around and shouting, but there was no way to put out the fire.
Of course, the former camp commander knew exactly where Tanli was referring. He didn't even dare to look at it, and replied with a grimace: "Your Highness, um... that is the storage area for siege equipment. The enemy put them... put them All burned.”
"F*ck!" Tanley shouted angrily in disbelief: "Everything is ruined?!"
The general's face was full of panic, and he nodded repeatedly: "Your Highness, calm down. In order to make it easier to attack the city tomorrow, you have previously ordered all battalions to gather all the siege equipment here and place them in preparation. Tonight, Yakutia rebels The main target of the army is precisely those instruments."
He swallowed slightly and continued to speak in a panic: "They secretly sneaked nearby, and while the soldiers were just resting, they launched a sudden attack and stormed the northwest corner of the front camp. Everyone's attention was diverted by the enemy, and they did not I thought that another team of troops from the other side had come in from another direction, sneaked into the storage area, and poured kerosene on the siege equipment. The wind was also strong tonight, and the kerosene fueled the combustion, so it was difficult for the brothers to light the fire for a while. If you put it out, you can only watch the equipment burn out."
"Asshole!" Kunli Mingtai on the side yelled angrily: "Are your security posts just for food? You don't even know when the enemy is approaching?!"
The former camp commander hurriedly explained: "General, you are guilty of underestimating your position! During the day, His Highness gave instructions that the soldiers must be well fed and drunk, and then have a good sleep so that they can recharge themselves for tomorrow's battle. The brothers did not expect that. The bastards of the Night Wheel Clan could be so mean and come to sneak attack in the middle of the night, so everyone including the sentry scouts were careless."
With a snap, Tanley's riding crop hit the general in the face hard: "Damn it, according to you, all the heavy losses tonight are all my fault?! Someone, drag this idiot down and chop him down!"
