Turbulent Times Chapter 316: Golmud
Sighing, Wu San frowned and continued, "It's just that I didn't expect Golmud to be much bigger than I expected, and we only have two thousand brothers. Kill all the 10,000 Tuyuhun people stationed here, there are still too many Tuyuhun people.”
Wu San sighed again with some regret. He thought that the Tuyuhun people would only carry out barbaric looting, but he did not expect that the Tuyuhun people had already begun to appear civilized, and there was even a dilapidated city in the middle of this place. , there will inevitably be a big city here.
"I've heard that King Bailan's ambitions are not small. I thought it was just a rumor. In any case, since Tuyuhun lost Zhangye County and Xiping County, most of the lands he lives in are barren lands, and his life should be extremely miserable. That's right, I didn't expect that there is a universe in this Golmud."
Sighing, Wu San continued: "Our 2,000 people and the remaining 2,000 brothers in Gaotai City are very difficult to attack Golmud on horseback."
After entering the tent, the little stone who took off his headgear looked gloomyly at the Tuyuhun warriors outside the tent and said in a low voice: "The previous information is correct. There were originally 10,000 Tuyuhun warriors left by King Bai Lan. Seven thousand were attracted by Su Changqing and the others. At this time, there were only 3,000 warriors, the rest were women, children, old and young, and thousands of Hu people of various ethnic groups. In addition, there was a large iron mine in the east valley, and there were Tuyuhun people in it. The more than 20,000 slaves captured from various ethnic groups were responsible for digging mines for them. Among them, we Han accounted for more than 70%, and the camp of the Tuyuhun army stationed here was set up there..."
Wu San sighed and said: "70% of the miners are more than 14,000 people. You know such details, but you have already talked to the Han slaves. I don't know what the result will be?"
Little Shitou smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that among these Han slaves there is a leader named Zhao Dongyang, and he is doing well. At least he can enter and leave the iron mine with his own strength."
When everyone was silent, a strong man wearing a black hood opened the curtain and walked in, followed by a hunched Han man. Although he looked vicissitudes, his eyes were calm, with occasional flashes of light. At first glance, it is not easy to be born.
"You are Zhao Dongyang." Wu San pulled off the fake beard on his face, and sat upright without getting angry!
The man named Zhao Dongyang did not answer immediately, but carefully identified Wu San, then glanced at the others, and said: "You are not from the Great Sui court, and the people of the Great court would not trust Sui so much." Special merchants, let alone cooperate with them!"
There was a light in Wu San's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Yes, Your Excellency has good eyesight, we are indeed not from the Sui Dynasty." At this point, Wu San's eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives, and he said coldly: " Since your Excellency was able to escape from the iron mine of the Tuyuhun people, why didn't you think of a way to escape?"
When Zhao Dongyang heard that Wu San said that he was not from the Sui Dynasty, he breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated and said: "In the war last year, more than a hundred people from my Zhao family were kidnapped by the Tuhun people. There are more than 30 men alive in the iron mine, how could I leave them behind and escape alone."
"I can rescue your whole family." Wu San said in a deep voice.
Zhao Dongyang looked excited, straightened his body hard and looked at Wu Sandao: "Can you guarantee it?"
Wu San smiled and said: "I swear!"
Zhao Dongyang knelt down slowly, put his hands on the ground, and looked up at Wu Sandao: "If you can rescue more than 30 of my clansmen from this place, I, Zhao Dongyang, will obey my orders even if I die. But if you deceive me, The Han slaves in the 14,000 iron mines in Golmud will take their lives even if they die!"
Wu San was not angry at Zhao Dongyang's rude threats, and waved his hand at Xiao Shitou: "Go to Su Changqing and the others, tell the truth about the situation here, and then send someone to tell our brothers to let them see the signal , ready to enter this place at any time."
Little Shitou nodded, put on the leather hood again, mounted a horse and galloped towards the northeast.
…
…
Su Changqing, Jiang Mulang, and Li Xiang led the army where not a single blade of grass grew, destroying more than a dozen large and small Tuyuhun tribes in just over a month.
Now, Li Xiang led a thousand people and led seven thousand Tuyuhun main forces to circle around, while Su Changqing and Jiang Mulang led nearly two thousand cavalry back to Golmud. At this time, Su Changqing and Jiang Mulang were standing on a high place looking at the eyelid Golmud under the roof.
"The army has cut off the main roads in and out of Golmud. This situation cannot be maintained for too long. Tonight at most, the army will launch a surprise attack. Otherwise, once the main force of the seven thousand Tuyuhun people feels something is wrong, the army will come back to help Afterwards, not only did their plan fail, but they were likely to be entangled by the opponent, and the main force of the army died here."
After Su Changqing and Jiang Muling got the news from Xiao Shitou, they looked at each other, breathed a long sigh of relief, and had a little more confidence in what they were about to do.
"Go back and tell Master Wu San, we will launch an attack with you according to the signal you sent!"
Little Shitou took a peek at the expressions of Su Changqing and Jiang Mulang, nodded to show that he remembered, and rode back to the Golmud Market.
When Xiao Shitou came back, there was an astonishing silence in the tent, Wu San seemed to have fallen asleep, and the other two hundred soldiers carefully selected from the skeleton army sat on the ground, taking their final rest.
Unknowingly, an hour passed, Wu San opened his eyes, and saw that the little stone had returned, so he whispered: "Shujia!"
The people in the tent, including Wu Sanzai, got up at the same time and opened the boxes beside them that originally contained the goods of the Sogdian merchants, and began to put on their helmets and armor.
A quarter of an hour later, the tent was full of armored soldiers, and Wu San held a long knife and pestered the ground, saying: "The purpose of this battle is to create chaos and assassinate the people who are in charge of Tuyuhun. In addition to the Skeleton Army, there are more than 2,000 troops from Gaotai City in the Great Sui Dynasty who rushed here after seeing the signal. Remember, the armored man is his own, so don't be accidentally injured, and don't be accidentally injured by your companions."
Wu San's voice resounded in the tent, which seemed strange and gloomy, but outside the tent was still a bustling city with people coming and going.
Looking at everyone, Wu San smashed through the tent with his sword, and all the skeleton warriors pulled their crossbows almost at the same time.
The noise covered up the explosion of the arrows and the scream of the arrows piercing through the air...
Screams suddenly sounded from all directions...
The businessmen and Tuyuhun people of various ethnic groups wandering around in the market were hardly prepared. When the first scream sounded and even a series of screams erupted, the merchants of various ethnic groups who had long been accustomed to such sudden attacks And the Tuyuhun people, after confirming the direction of the crossbow arrows by cursing for the first time, they backed away like a tide...
