As this general said, there were more than 3,000 Liangrong people, but they were not many in number. They did not mobilize their troops and gallop their horses. When they came to the city gate, they shot a bunch of arrows, like a mentally ill person, and ran away after shooting.
The guards on the city wall also had archers, but they were not careless and escaped. Only two of them were unlucky enough to be hit by arrows. It was not a serious injury, but they were just confused.
After notifying the superior officer, the deputy general of the Ruishi camp led his people up the city wall. Then the group of Liangrong people came over again, shot a bunch of arrows, and then ran away.
But this time, in addition to the arrows, there was also a letter of war, not from King Golden Wolf Khan, but from the second prince of the Golden Wolf King, Algenda, representing his Silver Eagle tribe.
The Silver Eagle Tribe is not a tribe, or a separate tribe, but five major tribes. Among the relatively powerful tribes on the grassland, in addition to the Silver Eagle Tribe, there are four other tribes, and these four tribes all followed the Silver Eagle Tribe.
As the second heir of the Golden Wolf King, Allegenda can basically be said to represent the Golden Wolf King, and the Golden Wolf King represents the entire grassland Liangrong. It is very likely that Allegenda will issue a gauntlet. It means that Liang Rong is really going to attack. This is the reason why they lit up the smoke and mobilized the troops.
Under the city wall, a large number of generals wearing armor appeared. The one at the front was Ma Rujing, the commander-in-chief of the border army. Behind him were the commanders of the Rui Shi camp, Yang Baobei, and the commander of the Ma Gong camp, Zhang Chengxiao.
In wartime, soldiers do not need to salute when they see their superiors, and the same is true when they see their commander-in-chief.
The troops had already set up their defenses, the long archers were standing ready, there was almost no separation between the people on the city wall, and the infantry of the Ruishi battalion under the city wall were also in formation.
Ma Rujing and others came up from another staircase and did not notice Chu Qing's group. Looking into the distance, the guard on the city wall gave a general explanation of the situation.
Putting his hands on the wall, Ma Rujing's gray eyebrows wrinkled slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Chu Qing and others walked over quickly, and Ma Rujing turned around with an unhappy look on his face: "Why are you here?"
"I've met the commander-in-chief." Chu Qing gave a formal salute.
A trace of surprise flashed in Ma Rujing's eyes. He didn't expect Chu Qing to take the initiative to salute. Even if he took the initiative to salute, he was quite respectful.
Not only Ma Rujing, but other generals as well.
Only Fusan Cave is like watching fire.
The third brother knew very well that as long as he was not on the city wall and not surrounded by murderous troops, his young master would not even take a second look at Ma Rujing, let alone salute him respectfully.
Ma Rujing, who originally wanted to be chased away by Chu Qing, saw the former saluting in front of so many people, so he didn't care and continued to look at the three thousand Liang Rong cavalry.
Chu Qing was not stupid, and he had to find faults according to the situation. The risk was too high, so there was no need to continue arguing with Ma Rujing.
"Commander."
Chu Qing's tone was still respectful: "Tell me, what do these three thousand Liang Rong cavalry mean?"
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person and even used the word "you". Ma Rujing, who was still frowning, suddenly felt that this boy Chu Qing looked more pleasing to his eyes.
Ma Rujing was originally a person who paid more attention to his face. With so many generals around him, and Chu Qing giving him face like this, Ma Rujing could no longer keep a dark face.
In fact, to be honest, Ma Rujing is not willing to continue to cause trouble with Chu Qing. No, it should be said that Ma Rujing is a little afraid that Chu Qing will cause trouble for him.
Ma Rujing knew Chu Qing's background and what he was going to do. If Chu Qing hadn't been so young, he would have suspected that the emperor had arranged for Chu Qing to come and seize his power.
"Challenge."
After these two words fell, Lieutenant General Liu Wang handed the letter of challenge to Chu Qing.
It's said to be a letter of challenge, but it's actually just parchment with crooked writing on it.
Chu Qing looked down and was happy: "These two are worse than me at handwriting, hahaha."
Everyone, including Ma Rujing, looked at Chu Qing as if he were a retarded person.
How long has it been since then to still laugh?
Chu Qing was a little embarrassed and said nothing.
It's not that Chu Qing is arrogant, but that he really doesn't take it seriously. There are only three thousand people, so what's the fuss?
In fact, we can't say who is right or wrong. In the eyes of these generals, there is no small matter at the border, and there must be monsters when things happen. But in Chu Qing's eyes, there are only three thousand people, just open the city gate and kill them, and that's it. You can see everything at a glance, and you are not afraid of an ambush. Even the commander-in-chief came in person, acting as if he had never seen the world.
Everyone looked at the letter of war, Tian Hailong frowned and said: "Prairie Muqin is the land of our Liangrong good men. Open your eyes and look, the land outside the grassland is also ours, under the anti-star of Ye Ming , under the light of the moon, the brave men of Liang Rong who are good at fighting will become wolves with sharp teeth. From today on, there will no longer be a Han dog on the grass. Let's fight behind the city wall, on the grassland. The bravest, most powerful, least brave and good at fighting the Golden Wolf King..."
Chu Qing interrupted impatiently: "Why is it written in such a mess? Why are there so many typos? What does it mean?"
Fu San: "Any Han who escapes from seclusion will be killed by him."
"Oh, I understand when you say that."
After finishing speaking, Chu Qing was still a little puzzled: "This is not a letter of challenge. Isn't this just a threat to prevent him from leaving the border?"
Tian Hailong explained: "The Liang thieves will not plunder the occasional Han merchant caravans that leave the customs."
"Why, because looting and killing people is provoking the Dachang Dynasty. This is not what the Golden Wolf King Khan wants to see."
"Don't things like this happen all the time? There's no war between the two countries."
Chu Qing had really heard of this kind of thing. Not all tribes on the grassland were sincerely working for the Golden Wolf King. At least privately, there were incidents of plundering Han caravans, especially in autumn, when winter was about to begin. Many of them The small tribe had no extra supplies, and they were all hungry. They didn't care about the Golden Wolf King's orders. They robbed the Han merchants in groups and then slaughtered them all. Finally, they walked away. The border army There is no way to take revenge here, and they don't know who did it. The Golden Wolf King's tent is turning a blind eye and is unwilling to investigate. Even if it is investigated, there is no way to investigate.
In any case, at least in name, Chang Dynasty and Liang Rong are currently non-aggression against each other. Everyone is getting along on the surface, and it is peace for the time being. It is a false peace, even if all Han people and all Liang Rong people know that sooner or later the two sides will have at least one big war. A fight to the death.
But now, the peace has been broken. It was broken by Allegenda, the second son of the Golden Wolf Wang family. It was not a declaration of war, but he said that the Han people would not be allowed to leave the seclusion, and he would capture and kill each one.
This is similar to later generations. If an ordinary island countryman says he wants to kill the beautiful country and kills every old American he sees, no one will take him seriously.
But if this person is the son of the island country's prime minister, and this son is also a military general, then this is basically a declaration of war.
But now, everyone is facing this situation, which is very puzzling.
More than three thousand Liang Rong dispersed.
A man with disheveled hair and underwear had a rope on his hand. The other end of the rope was held in the hand of a cool man. Wild laughter came over, and the knight ran over with his horse's belly under his arms.
